Chiến tranh Ukraina : Hồi kết cho « cơn mê đắm say Nga » của Pháp ?

TẠP CHÍ TIÊU ĐIỂM

Nếu cuộc chiến xâm lược Ukraina của Nga làm lộ rõ sự phụ thuộc khí đốt của Đức vào Nga, thì cuộc xung đột này cũng đã « lột trần » một dạng lệ thuộc khác tại Pháp : Nỗi đắm say nước Nga. Sự thay đổi lập trường trong các phát biểu của tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron, từ việc « chớ nên hạ nhục nước Nga » cho đến « Kremlin không nên thắng cuộc chiến này », cho thấy Paris đang nhọc nhằn đoạn tuyệt với Matxcơva như thế nào ! Ngày 14/03/2024, trong cuộc trả lời phỏng vấn trên hai kênh truyền hình TF1 và France 2, tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron tuyên bố, « chúng ta không muốn leo thang, chúng ta không có chiến tranh với Nga, nhưng chúng ta không nên để Nga giành thắng lợi ». Một lần nữa nguyên thủ Pháp nhấn mạnh rằng việc gởi binh sĩ đến Ukraina, « tuy không là điều ông mong muốn », nhưng « tất cả những giải pháp này đều có thể », và điều quan trọng là không nên tỏ ra « yếu thế » trước Matxcơva.Khác với cách nay gần hai năm, chủ nhân điện Elysée vẫn bày tỏ mong muốn đối thoại với Nga. Câu nói nổi tiếng « chớ nên hạ nhục nước Nga » mà ông phát biểu trước Nghị Viện Châu Âu ở Strasbourg, đông bắc nước Pháp ngày 09/05/2022 đã khiến các nước Đông Âu bị sốc và làm dấy lên nhiều chỉ trích. Tại Pháp, tuần báo L'Express có bài giải mã đề tựa « Vì sao Macron tốt nhất nên im lặng ». Làm thế nào giải thích cho sự « bẻ lái » đột ngột này của nguyên thủ Pháp ?Paris chọn Matxcơva!Elsa Vidal, trưởng ban biên tập RFI Tiếng Nga, trong cuộc trao đổi dành cho RFI Tiếng Việt, thừa nhận bà không thể giải thích cho sự thay đổi thái độ đột ngột này từ tổng thống Pháp, nhưng động thái này khẳng định xu hướng Emmanuel Macron đang đưa nước Pháp thoát ra khỏi mối quan hệ truyền thống ưu tiên Pháp – Nga.Elsa Vidal : « Vào tháng 6/2023, tại Bratislava, Emmanuel Macron đã có bài phát biểu lời lẽ cứng rắn hơn đối với Nga. Trong bài phát biểu này, ông ấy nhìn nhận tầm quan trọng những gì mà các nước biên giới với Nga phải trải qua. Đó là những nước hoặc bị Nga chiếm đóng trong suốt thời kỳ Liên Xô, hoặc bị Nga thống trị dưới thời Sa hoàng. »Liệu đó có là hồi kết cho một chương dài thân Nga ? Bởi vì, từ hơn nửa thế kỷ qua, « Paris đã chọn Matxcơva », Elsa Vidal đã mở đầu như thế trong tập sách « Mê đắm nước Nga. Ba mươi năm chính sách "chiều lòng" Nga của Pháp ». Nga chiếm một vị trí quan trọng trong chính sách đối ngoại của Pháp đến mức đôi khi mù quáng. Từ Emmanuel Macron, cho đến Nicolas Sarkozy, xa hơn nữa là Jacques Chirac, François Mitterand… Paris luôn tìm cách « reset » – làm mới lại – mối quan hệ với Matxcơva. Một chính sách gần như là « bất di bất dịch ».Elsa Vidal : « Điều làm cho tôi ngạc nhiên khi viết tập sách này, tôi chợt nhận ra rằng, ngoại trừ nhiệm kỳ tổng thống François Hollande, lập trường của tất cả các tổng thống Pháp từ khi Nga tiếp nối Liên Xô là hầu như không thay đổi. Lập trường này xem Nga như là một phương cách để cố gắng cân bằng ảnh hưởng của Mỹ, một sức ảnh hưởng mà Pháp cho là quá mức và nguy hiểm cho quyền tự quyết của Pháp. Đây là một truyền thống mà người ta thường cho là thuộc trường phái De Gaulle – Mitterand. Đây chính là những gì cựu ngoại trưởng Hubert Védrine, thời tổng thống François Mitterand, đã từng nói đến. Hubert Védrine  hiện vẫn là một nhân vật rất có ảnh hưởng trong lĩnh vực quan hệ quốc tế. »« Chớ hạ nhục nước Nga ! »Chính sách này bắt đầu từ ngay sau Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến và đầu thời kỳ Chiến Tranh Lạnh. Trong mong muốn tìm lại tầm ảnh hưởng, một vị thế trên trường quốc tế và nhất là trong tư tưởng bài Mỹ mạnh mẽ, tướng De Gaulle năm 1966 đã đưa ra một chính sách được thể hiện rõ qua ba thuật ngữ « Lắng nghe, Hòa dịu, Hợp tác », vạch ra những nguyên tắc cơ bản cho mối quan hệ mà Paris muốn thiết lập với Matxcơva. Di sản này có một sức ảnh hưởng to lớn trong đời sống chính trị, một « kim chỉ nam » cho nền ngoại giao Pháp trong mối quan hệ với Nga, được hầu hết các đảng phái chính trị Pháp bám lấy suốt hơn nửa thế kỷ qua.François Mitterand có lẽ là người bám chặt nhất tư tưởng này của tướng De Gaulle khi chủ trương một chính sách « Bạn bè, Đồng minh nhưng không Liên kết » với Mỹ. Paris mong muốn là một nước « trung gian tất yếu » giữa Đông và Tây, theo như nhận xét của Marie-Pierre Rey, nhà sử học, chuyên gia về quan hệ Pháp - Nga với Elsa Vidal (trang 45). Nhưng đến thời Jacques Chirac, Paris như một kẻ yêu say đắm Matxcơva. Ưu tiên cho mối quan hệ với Nga, Pháp đôi khi không ngần ngại đi trái ý, gây bất lợi cho các nước đồng minh, mà cuộc chiến tranh tàn khốc ở Chechnya là một ví dụ điển hình.Nên khi nói rằng « chớ nên hạ nhục nước Nga », Emmanuel Macron chưa phải là người đầu tiên thốt lên câu nói này. Năm 1995, tại thượng đỉnh nhóm G7 tổ chức Halifax, New Scotland, Canada, Jacques Chirac đã cho rằng xung đột ở Chechnya là « chuyện nội bộ » của Nga, và có lời cảnh cáo các đồng nhiệm rằng « hãy cẩn thận đừng bao giờ làm nhục nước Nga ».Elsa Vidal : « Trong số các lãnh đạo Pháp, người đầu tiên nói về sự hạ nhục này là ông Jacques Chirac, người "yêu say đắm" nước Nga nhất. Ông ấy biểu hiện sự gắn bó này qua văn hóa Nga, vốn là một lá chủ bài thật sự của Nga trên trường quốc tế. Jacques Chirac đã có những phát biểu rất mạnh mẽ như thế trên trường quốc tế khi nói rằng không phải bởi vì Nga đang trải qua một giai đoạn suy yếu mà nước này ngưng là một nước vĩ đại, vì thế không nên hạ nhục Nga. Nói một cách khác, chúng ta có nguy cơ gánh lấy những hệ quả khủng khiếp.Emmanuel Macron, ông ấy cũng đi theo truyền thống đó. Cũng cần nói thêm rằng phát biểu về sự sỉ nhục này, trước hết là một diễn ngôn do các lãnh đạo Nga tạo ra để giải thích cho mong muốn tìm lại thế mạnh của họ trên trường quốc tế. Chúng ta có thể hiểu được điều này, rằng Nga nuối tiếc thế mạnh mà họ đã có khi Liên Xô từng là một tiếng nói có trọng lượng trong các chương trình nghị sự thế giới và tự xem như là ngang vai ngang vế với cường quốc Mỹ. »« Reset » và tham vọng cao của Emmanuel Macron Elsa Vidal thừa nhận, ao ước tìm lại vị thế cường quốc và sức ảnh hưởng, không chỉ ở giới lãnh đạo Nga, đi đầu là ông Vladimir Putin, mà còn ở một bộ phận lớn cử tri Nga. Điều mà bà phê phán là một bộ phận giới tinh hoa Pháp sử dụng lại lập luận này như thể họ đang sử dụng quan điểm của Nga để giải mã các sự kiện.Trong chính sách « Reset » này, Emmanuel Macron có lẽ là vị tổng thống năng động nhất. Ngay những ngày đầu nhiệm kỳ năm 2017, vị tổng thống trẻ tuổi nhất của nền Đệ Ngũ Cộng Hòa Pháp, không ngần ngại trải thảm đỏ, long trọng nghinh tiếp đồng nhiệm Nga Vladimir Putin tại cung điện Versailles tráng lệ. Tham vọng là nhằm xây dựng lại quan hệ Pháp – Nga đã bị rạn nứt từ sau vụ sáp nhập bán đảo Crimée, vượt qua những chia rẽ giữa phe mang tư tưởng Đại Tây Dương và bên chủ nghĩa hiện thực, chủ trương tự chủ, cũng như là chia rẽ giữa phe thân Nga và chống Nga.Elsa Vidal : « Vào thời điểm đó, cách tiếp cận của Emmanuel Macron quả thực là một phần trong truyền thống lâu đời. Đầu tiên, đơn giản nhất là truyền thống của Mỹ. Năm 2013, Barack Obama đã cố gắng tái khởi động quan hệ với Nga nhưng không thành công. Tôi nghĩ rằng ông Macron muốn thành công ở điểm mà Obama đã thất bại.Rồi trong truyền thống Pháp, trong các nghiên cứu mà tôi thực hiện cho tập sách, tôi phát hiện ra rằng chiến lược « Reset » đầu tiên, ý định tái khởi động quan hệ đầu tiên với Nga đã diễn ra vào năm 1867 ở Paris. Vào thời điểm đó, Pháp và đế chế Sa hoàng lo lắng trước đà gia tăng sức mạnh của Phổ, sau này là nước Đức. Cả hai nước tự nhủ rằng thật là đáng tiếc nếu không liên kết để có thể chống Đức.Chính ở điểm này mà Nga hay Liên Xô từng được một số nước, đặc biệt là Pháp xem như là một liên minh ngược, nghĩa là để đối trọng với cường quốc Đức, rồi chống lại hay cân bằng cường quốc Mỹ. Truyền thống này đã được hình thành ở Pháp, và là một yếu tố cực kỳ quan trọng trong chính sách đối ngoại của Pháp mà tôi có dịp nhận thấy qua cuốn sách này. Chủ nghĩa chống Mỹ, tôi không nói là tất cả, nhưng ngự trị một phần lớn trong các chính đảng Pháp. »Pháp – Nga cùng cảnh ngộ : Nỗi hoài niệm về một đế chế xa xưa ?Cũng giống như nhiều nhà quan sát khác, Elsa Vidal, cho rằng Pháp theo đuổi chính sách « Reset » với Nga còn vì Paris và Matxcơva có một gạch nối chung : Nỗi hoài niệm về một tầm ảnh hưởng đã mất.Elsa Vidal : « Tại Pháp, việc người ta có thể dễ dàng sử dụng thuật ngữ "hạ nhục" từ phía Nga là bởi vì Pháp cũng là một cựu đế chế, và việc mất đế chế này vẫn bị tiếc nuối bởi nhiều chính khách Pháp cũng như là một số người Pháp, những người sinh ra vào thời điểm mà Pháp vẫn còn đế chế thuộc địa.Tôi nghĩ đến những người còn biết đến chế độ thuộc địa gần đây nhất, bị tan rã trong những năm 1960 sau những cuộc chiến tranh giành độc lập. Tôi cho rằng chính vì một bộ phận cử trị Pháp và nhiều chính khách Pháp vẫn còn hoài niệm về tầm vĩ đại, thế mạnh và đế chế mà họ có một sự đam mê đối với mô hình Nga bởi vì Nga cũng đã khôi phục được đế chế của mình lần đầu tiên vào năm 1917, sau khi chế độ Sa hoàng biến mất.Những người Bôn-sê-vich đã tạo dựng lại đế chế dưới hình thức Liên Xô và vào năm 1992, sự biến mất của Liên Xô đã mở ra một giai đoạn mới với việc tìm kiếm một tầm ảnh hưởng mà đế chế thuở xưa đã có. Và người ta đã thấy điều đó qua năm cuộc chiến tranh do Nga tiến hành, không chỉ do ông Putin thực hiện. Do vậy, người Pháo đôi khi cũng rất lắng nghe các phát biểu từ Nga bởi vì Pháp cũng vậy, Pháp có một sức mạnh to lớn và thật khó mà từ bỏ thế mạnh đó. »Chỉ có điều, đây là một mối tình đơn phương, Paris « say đắm » nhìn Matxcơva, nhưng nước Nga của Vladimir Putin lại có một mục tiêu cao hơn để đeo đuổi. Nếu như Paris xích lại gần Matxcơva để cân bằng quan hệ với Washington thì, Nga chỉ muốn thu hút sự quan tâm của Mỹ. Trang 34, Elsa Vidal viết : « Một điều chắc chắn là Vladimir Putin nỗ lực tìm lại vị thế có thể đối xử ngang vai ngang vế với Mỹ trong nhiều hồ sơ quốc tế. Về phía châu Âu, ông ấy không trông đợi cũng không mong mỏi điều gì nhưng sẽ nắm bắt lấy những cơ hội nào chúng ta trao tặng cho ông. »Mục tiêu không đạt được Nga chủ động nói lời giã biệt ? Giới quan sát thật sự bị sốc khi nhìn thấy hình ảnh một chiếc bàn dài 4 mét ngăn cách tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin với đồng nhiệm Pháp Emmanuel Macron tại điện Kremlin vài ngày trước khi Nga quyết định tấn công Ukraina. Cuộc chiến này phải chăng đã bộc lộ thất bại chính sách « Reset » của Pháp ?Tổng biên tập RFI Tiếng Nga lạc quan đánh giá đấy chưa hẳn là một thất bại hoàn toàn. Nhưng trước sự thay đổi thái độ của Pháp hiện nay vào thời điểm phương Tây đang đối đầu với Nga, theo đúng lô-gic, Elsa Vidal dự đoán, Nga rất có thể sẽ có những hành động trừng phạt. Pháp ngày càng trở thành một mục tiêu tấn công trong chính sách gây bất ổn của Nga. Bà cũng cẩn trọng trước việc cho rằng Pháp đã hoàn toàn thay đổi lập trường. Thời gian sẽ cho biết liệu Paris có lý hay không !RFI Tiếng Việt xin cảm ơn Elsa Vidal, trưởng ban biên tập RFI Tiếng Nga đã tham gia chương trình.

In a tragic case of jealousy turned deadly, Jacob L. Klein, 42, from Virginia, has been sentenced to spend the next several decades behind bars in a New York prison for the second-degree murder of 35-year-old physician assistant Philip L. Rabadi. The conviction stemmed from an incident on April 13, 2022, when Rabadi was found bound, slashed, and mutilated in his New Scotland, New York home. Klein's motive was revealed during the trial—his deep-seated resentment towards Rabadi, who had recently married Klein's ex-girlfriend, Elana Radin. During a tense sentencing hearing on Friday, Albany County Judge William Little handed down the maximum Empire State sentence of 25 years to life in prison, fulfilling the victim's family's request. Judge Little expressed his struggle to find any humanity in Klein, labeling him as lacking basic decency. The impact statements from the victim's family painted a chilling picture of Klein's malevolence. Shaw Rabadi, the victim's father, described Klein as "dangerous, psychopathic, and evil," expressing fears for the safety of his family and others if Klein were ever to walk free again. The court heard that Klein meticulously planned the murder, driven by his obsessive hatred towards Rabadi. Assistant District Attorney Jessica Blain-Lewis revealed during the trial that Klein strategically stabbed Rabadi in key areas of the neck, causing him to bleed to death. The gruesome discovery was made when Rabadi failed to show up for his shift at St. Peter's Hospital, where he and Radin worked as physician assistants. Upon arrival at Rabadi's residence, his father and Radin found the crime scene, marked by overflowing sinks and blood-stained faucets. Radin, who had broken up with Klein in 2017, received an ominous email from the defendant just before her marriage to Rabadi in September 2021. This evidence played a crucial role in swiftly identifying Klein as the prime suspect. The court also learned that Klein, with premeditated intent, drove from Virginia to Albany in the days leading up to the murder. Unbeknownst to the unsuspecting couple, he rented a truck to spy on both the Rabadi residence and the hospital. As the grieving widow, Radin, did not attend the hearing, Blain-Lewis read from a victim impact statement written by her, describing Rabadi as a "shining example of what a man and husband could ever hope to be." The Rabadi family expressed the irrevocable damage and dimmed futures caused by Klein's actions, with Rabadi's mother, Victoria, denouncing the killer as a "worthless psychopathic criminal."

Erick McCandless is returning to the place where he started. He grew up in Slingerlands, was trained in forestry, and now — after a sometimes far-flung career in environmentalism — he is the new project manager for the Bender Melon Farm Preserve.McCandless says a bullet was dodged when a grassroots uprising prevented a mega-mall from being built on the rural land, which is now undergoing development on its perimeter.In December, the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy paid $1 million for the 176-acre former Bender Melon Farm, near the corner of routes 85 and 85A in New Scotland.To help pay for the purchase, the conservancy sold 20 of those acres along Route 85 for about half-a-million dollars to Ron Kay, who plans a hamlet-type development with retail and residential spaces.At the start of the 20th Century, Charles Bender's farm was famous for its melons, which were served in New York City's finest restaurants. The farm was sold to William Taylor in 1939 as public tastes and farming itself changed.McCandless, from his childhood, remembers the Bender property as a dairy farm, seeing cows wandering around in the fields.He is interested in preserving its history and says in this week's Enterprise podcast that there are still remnants of the famous Bender melons in the old barns on the property. Preserving the viewshed and the open space is also important to McCandless.Read the full profile at https://altamontenterprise.com/02182022/come-out-and-enjoy-it-and-support-it-says-new-manager-bender-melon-farm-preserve See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. WELCOME TO CELTIC MUSIC * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I'm a musician and podcaster. I share my love of Irish and Celtic music from around the globe with you. I want to introduce you to some amazing Celtic bands and musicians. The artists in this show need your support. You can do that by buying their music or telling a friend about the band you found. You can find a link to all of the artists, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also support this podcast on Patreon. Today is the Celtic Top 20 songs and tunes of 2021. The music picked for this show was by Your Votes. You will note that there are actually 22 tracks this time. Yup. You get bonus music this time because one of my tracks made the top 20. While I include it in the show, I don't consider it as one of the Top 20 songs. That said, there were a couple ties at the end of the show. And thus, you get even more music this time. NEW IN 2022 CHANGES TO THE CELTIC TOP 20 FOR 2022 I made some changes to the Celtic Top 20 for 2022. Yes. I still want and need your votes so we can create another amazing “best of” episode. It is now easier than ever to vote. Just select the tracks that you love the best. However, you will need to be a Patron of the Podcast to cast a vote. Another change for the new year is I am creating a Best of 2022 playlist on Spotify. I will update it every week starting two weeks after the first show launches in the new year. My hope is to help promote these amazing Celtic bands and musicians on the largest streaming music platform out there. ARE YOU A MUSICIAN WITH A STORY TO SHARE? I am planning out the spring season of Pub Songs & Stories. Pub Songs & Stories is a Virtual Public House for musicians to share the stories and inspiration behind their music. Do you have or know a good story to share on our companion podcast? Stories can be about songs or tunes, from a gig, a piece of Celtic history, or anything that might be paired with a song or tune. Drop me an email. Put “Pub Story” in the show subject. Tell me your story. Maybe I'll ask you to record your story for the show. I'm planning only 10 episodes. So email me soon. And make sure you subscribe at PubSong.com. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Because of Your kind and generous support, this show comes out nearly every week.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Eilene Marie Toppin Ording emailed a photo: "Here's what I do while listening to your podcast. I walk early in the morning and this day, the moon was still up and walked with me. My Scottish roots are very deep and we came to North America via Ireland. My mother's maiden name is McCamus which would equate to McKeamish or McHamish probably in Scottish. Be that as it may, we are part of Clan Gunn. One of my bucket list items is to visit the Clan Gunn Museum & Heritage Centre in Latheron, Scotland. Unfortunately, they are not open and I can't travel at the moment anyway. I'm enjoying your podcast. I've been sending the podcast link and some band links to my son in the Navy in Guam. We share an interest in all things Celtic or Gaelic. My favorite band is Gaelic Storm (they play the KC Irish Fest every Labor Day Weekend), but I recently fell in love with Niamh Parsons' voice. I first heard her and her partner on your podcast.?? Have a great day." So many people post on Facebook to say thanks and comment on our Facebook page. I thought I'd share some of those comments. Many from musicians. Bill Mullen posted: "Just listened to the podcast -  nice selection and enjoyed the show -  thanks Marc!" ReillyRocks Irish: "Totally awesome! We are recording new material set to be released in March. Can't wait to share it with you guys!" Vic Morris: "These wonderful women of The Bow Tides are former (and one current) members of the band Gaelic Storm. I have seen them all at GS concerts and they truly are talented!! My wife and I saw GS on Wednesday of this week in Dallas, TX and got to hear Katie live for the first time with GS. She and the band put on a frolicking good show! I am listening to this episode of the podcast right now." Scott Sterling: "Many thanks for putting it out there !" Jesse Ferguson (The Bard of Cornwall): "Awesome! Proud to be in such good company" Brigid's Crossing: "I really like Coast and Loveridge. Never heard of them before but just bought some tracks. Thanks for the find!" The Wild Irish Roses: "Thank You!!!" Golden Bough Music: "RIP Paddy. Such a wonderful musician and wonderful person! You will be very truly missed!" Cíana: "Thanks Marc! You're the best!" Brenda Richardson: "Are you planning any trips for the future? I cannot find any mention of it on your website or Facebook page." The Guinness Brothers: "Cheers guys" The Gatehouse Well: "Thanks so much! Can't wait to listen through this week's episode!" TURF FIRE LIARS: "Love your show!!!" Bob Spellman: "I always look forward to the new episodes" Kris Colt & the Black Rose Band: "Thank you so much for playing our new song Charmed. Very much appreciated" Susana Seivane posted: Hearts Eric Guarin posted a link: "Mark, you're always asking "what are you doing today while listening to the podcast"? Well today in fact I was running the Leghowney (leg - uh - nee said a local) Loop Scenic Walk near Donegal Ireland! A forest, a wind farm, a bunch of sheep, all lovely. The podcast made a great accompaniment, thanks!"

I'm back to doing my early morning walks (have to start walking about sunrise for the cooler weather).  The photo was taken looking north to Safford peak with a hot air balloon moving to the right to pass Safford to the east side.  Back in my peak climbing days I climbed Safford a number of times.  It's a great trip with wonderful views from the top. I learned how to connect 3 of your podcasts, so I could listen to your podcasts for the whole time.  Thanks for the work you do to distribute this music." Peter Bengtson sent another photo from October: "Mark,  I've  recently been walking the bicycle trail along the Rillito River.  This was the most dramatic piece of art along the trail.  It shows bats riding bicycles.  The upper bat and bicycle is upside down since the bats hang upside down under the bridges over the river. The second and third messages are information signs about the Mexican Free Tail bats living under bridges.  I couldn't figure out how to get all 3 photo into the same message."

Donald Hyman brings history to life by portraying people from the past.Albany hotelier Adam Black Jr.; James Matthews, the state's first African-American judge; and James Dickson, a New Scotland native and general manager for the Slingerland family, will be reborn on Oct. 5 for those attending the New Scotland Historical Association meeting. “They come back to me like I'm listening to lyrics in a song,” says Hyman in this week's podcast.Hyman researches the often-forgotten men he portrays both online and through original documents like letters and church records. “I try to find in their own words things they would say,” he says.He likens it to being a coffee or wine taster — finding the subtle differences, the idiosyncrasies that distinguish one from another.Hyman concludes of these 19th-Century African Americans, “If the door were open, they would definitely go through it.”Hyman, who grew up in Brooklyn, has a particular fondness for Harlem and its rich history. He studied fashion design at Parsons, focusing on styles during the Jazz Age of the Roaring Twenties, and on the rock-and-roll era of the 1950s.A world traveler, Hyman embraces all of history. Travel, he says, “keeps you from being brainwashed.”He has written plays for the State Museum and portrayed enslaved people at the Schuyler Mansion.Hyman says of the Capital Region, “I just stumbled upon it, like a gold mine.”When he first arrived in Albany, Mary Liz and Paul Stewart, who have restored the home of abolitionists Harriet and Stephen Myers for their Underground Railroad Education Center, walked him around the neighborhood and he felt its richness.Hyman likens what he does now to prospectors who pan for gold, sifting through the debris to find the nuggets.Rather than celebrating baseball players or rappers, he likes to portray individuals who prevailed and overcame. In Jamaica, Hyman said, they would say of these individuals, “They overstood.”“It's not about me,” he concludes of his work. “It's about their legacy.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As newcomers move to Voorheesville and New Scotland, Alan Kowlowitz hopes they will embrace their heritage, not as a matter of genetics, a love of place handed down through family, but rather like the love that ties a marriage together.New Scotland is growing at a faster rate than any other municipality in Albany County, with a 5.8 percent increase in population over the last decade, according to the recently released federal census data.Kowlowitz sees an irony in people moving to New Scotland because it's a beautiful town and then having the development pressure erode what drew them to town in the first place.“You can't preserve what you don't know,” says Kowlowitz in this week's podcast.Kowlowitz chairs the joint village and town Historic Preservation Commission. Voorheesville and New Scotland this summer were awarded a $10,000 grant from the Preservation League of New York State to fund a cultural resource survey for the village and the hamlets of New Salem and New Scotland.About 300 buildings, each at least 50 years old, will be photographed, researched, and mapped with the information uploaded to the state's Cultural Resources Information System.

It is because of you that I release this show almost every week. But I want to let you know about a big change this coming to the Song Hengers on Patreon. I started Song Henge in 2006. It was a way to support the podcast when amazing services like Patreon were not available. I sent Song Hengers an album per month of free MP3s from some of the artists on the show. I released 168 of those albums over the past 15 years thanks to the generosity of the musicians on this show. When I started the Patreon page, I continued that feature for everyone who pledged $5 or more per episode. There are over 60 albums currently available for Patrons. However, the world seems to be moving away from MP3s. So I decided to discontinue that service at the end of this year. It's time for a change. I still want something special for Song Hengers. That has finally come. Starting in August, Song Hengers will get a talk-free episode, much like the Sleepytime episode that was released in May. I'll introduce the show, you can listen to the music straight through for about an hour, then I'll remind listeners to look up the artists. Each episode will also include complete shownotes and chapters so you can easily skip around to the artists you enjoy, just like regular episodes. Because I DO want you to keep visiting these artists. But it'll be much more music focused. You can become a generous Patron of the Podcast on Patreon at SongHenge.com.

The Covid restrictions have pushed me into taking long walks every day.  I live in Tucson AZ, so these days I have to start walking at sunrise (5:30) these days.  I usually walk for about 2 hours.  Yesterday I listened to your Celtic Women #503 on the first half of the walk.  The second half to Aria Code (opera).  On the drive home I listened to Symphony Hall on SeriusXM.  I enjoyed all three. I really don't like "recurring donations"  If you are a tax deductible organization with a Tax identification number, I can make a donation from my charitable account.  If you are not a tax deductible organization, I can send you a check.

We've seen the advancement of the Pilgrims and Puritans into New England. We've begun to understand their challenges and opportunities in the new world. With expansion came tension. New England was not the only northern colonialism taking place. There was Newfoundland and hopes for New Scotland. These areas were colonized by a different group of men. Non-Puritans. They looked South for their expansion. As they moved south, their settlements moved ever closer to New England. There were councils like The Council for New England and The Scottish Privy Council. There were men of position and ambition like Sir William Alexander, the Earl of Stirling and Ferdinand Gorges. These all played a role in the arrival of John Mason to the New England Region. His story is remarkable. His contributions to the development of English Colonialism in these Northern regions were significant. In this episode we'll meet John Mason and follow him through the early years of his career. From his misfortunes to his ultimate successes in Newfoundland...and the opportunities they afforded him.

When the British defeated the French and their allies in the Seven Years' War, they acquired vast new territories that expanded British America. Britain's North America Empire grew to include New Brunswick in Canada, Florida on the southern mainland, and Caribbean Islands like Dominica, among many other places. How would the British meld these spaces – spaces that were religiously and ethnically diverse, characterized by both free and enslaved labor, and fraught with tension between indigenous peoples and white settlers – into a coherent empire? Well, first they had to map them. In the decade before the American Revolution, the British government embarked on a monumental effort to create new, high-resolution maps that would help it forge a new imperial landscape. On today's episode, Dr. Max Edelson joins us to explain how a cadre of British military engineers, surveyors, and diplomats produced maps that sought to realize a vision of empire that never came to be. Dr. Edelson is a historian of British America at the University of Virginia, and the author of the recent book, The New Map of Empire: How Britain Imagined America Before Independence.  Edelson and host Jim Ambuske discuss a number of maps in this episode, including: Maps in The New Map of Empire: Mapscholar.org/empire Herman Moll, A new and exact map of the dominions of the King of Great Britain on ye continent of North America, containing Newfoundland, New Scotland, New England, New York, New Jersey, Pensilvania, Maryland, Virginia and Carolina (1715) The Catawba Map [Map of the several nations of Indians to the Northwest of South Carolina] [c. 1724] Samuel Holland, A map of the island of St. John in the Gulf of St. Laurence divided into counties & parishes and the lots as granted by government, (1776). About Our Guest:  S. Max Edelson studies the history of British America and the Atlantic world. His research examines space, place, and culture in colonial North America and the Caribbean. His first book, Plantation Enterprise in Colonial South Carolina (Harvard, 2006) examines the relationship between planters and environment in South Carolina as the key to understanding this repressive, prosperous society and its distinctive economic culture His second book, The New Map of Empire: How Britain Imagined America Before Independence (Harvard, 2017), describes how Britain used maps and geographic knowledge to reform its American empire in the eighteenth century. About Our Host: Jim Ambuske, Ph.D. leads the Center for Digital History at the Washington Library. A historian of the American Revolution, Scotland, and the British Atlantic World, Ambuske graduated from the University of Virginia in 2016. He is a former Farmer Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at the University of Virginia Law Library. At UVA Law, Ambuske co-directed the 1828 Catalogue Project and the Scottish Court of Session Project.  He is currently at work on a book about emigration from Scotland in the era of the American Revolution as well as a chapter on Scottish loyalism during the American Revolution for a volume to be published by the University of Edinburgh Press.

The Enterprise experts in local news looked back at some of their most important stories for 2019.Noah Zweifel, who reports on the Helderberg Hilltowns, focuses on the Multi-Use Residential District proposed by Knox Supervisor Vasilios Lefkaditis to encourage business in the rural town. The two Democrats on the town board voted against the MRD because many of the people in the proposed district didn’t want it and because of environmental and safety concerns. A supermajority vote was needed because the Albany County Planning Board had recommended against it. Lefkaditis’s slate was elected in November so it looks like Knox will eventually have the new MRD. Zweifel also talks about highway safety issues raised by a Berne councilman who, come Jan. 1, will be the sole Democrat on a town board where all of the members have been backed by the GOP chairman, who is also the highway superintendent.Sean Mulkerrin, who covers the town of New Scotland and the villages of Altamont and Voorheesville, discusses two long-running legal challenges that had an effect on the ballot box. The Voorheesville School Board president was ousted in the spring after a popular girls’ basketball coach claimed in court papers that he was fraudulently forced to resign from his coaching post. He sued to get his job back. In Altamont, a group of citizens challenged the village board’s rezoning of property from residential to commercial to allow the Altamont Stewart’s to expand. In the March village elections, two incumbent trustees who had voted in favor of the rezone narrowly kept their seats. The village board then voted again in favor of the rezone. Elizabeth Floyd Mair, the Enterprise Guilderland reporter, talks about the evolution of a story on a Lynnwood teacher, Tod Mell, accused of inappropriately touching one of his students. Floyd Mair changed the narrative when, after quoting from glowing letters in a story on Mell’s sentencing, the victim came forward and told her side of the story to Floyd Mair. In the podcast, Floyd Mair also talks about how a sad story on the closing of Christ Lutheran Church in Guilderland led to a happy story about the Micronesians who joyously worship at the church.

Charles Gehring who lives in New Scotland goes each day to work at the New York State Library in Albany where he travels back in time several hundred years. His life’s work has been translating the records of New Netherland, which the English claimed at the fort in New Amsterdam when they took over from the Dutch in 1664. “The embryo of certain ideals we have as Americans,” says Gehring, including not only tolerance, which comes from the “Dutch freedom of conscience,” but also the idea of social mobility, where power and importance need not come from inherited wealth or position, are from New Netherland. In this week’s podcast at AltamontEnterprise.com, Gehring talks about his life and his work, which is unlocking the past.

Tim Albright, who has worked at Indian Ladder Farms for 40 years and is now a manager, used to know each of the large old-fashioned apple trees as individuals. The small, modern rows of trees — which are more efficiently maintained — lack personality, he says. Albright, who grew up playing on the cliffs and in the caves of the Helderberg escarpment, knows the history as well as the topography of the land. At age 13, he researched New Scotland’s history and designed the town seal still used today. In this week’s podcast, he talks of the century-old local postcards he collects from which he gleans history in words and pictures.

Fisher opens the show following up on last week's appearance by Susan Snyder who "planted her family flag" with a personal website devoted to her family that has attracted numerous other descendants, including Fisher himself. Both Fisher and Susan were delighted to receive an email from a Cincinnati listener who ties into three ancestral couples shared by both Fisher and Susan. David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist for the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org then talks about his experience at the Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference. He also shares news of the discovery of newly developed negatives of a World War I pilot killed in action in 1918. Where did the negatives come from and what do they show? David will tell you. David then jumps to the recent recognition of another aged World War II pilot who was known for more than just his military prowess. Wait until you hear what it is! Then there's word that BBC Scotland is looking for you if you had Scottish ancestors in Nova Scotia. David has all the particulars. David's Tip this week concerns a new app that allows you to snap a pic and have it go out as an old fashioned post card! He'll also have another great free guest user database from NEHGS. Next, Fisher talks to genealogical speaker, researcher, and writer Loretta Evans about "circumstantial evidence" in genealogy. How is it defined exactly and how can it help you "nail down" the line you're researching. Loretta has some great insight and advice. Fisher then visits with Bill Habermann of Tacoma, Washington. Bill has "adopted" over 1,600 people... all dead... in an overgrown local cemetery, and he's doing all he can to let you know who they are. What got Bill started on this and what has the response been? You'll love the story. Then Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com returns to talk preservation. Tom answers a listener question from South Carolina about using a national digitizing firm because no one provides the service locally. As usual, Tom has some great thoughts on protecting your most important family history assets. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!   Transcript of Episode 156 Segment 1 Episode 156 (00:30) Fisher: And welcome to Extreme Genes! This is America’s Family History Show. My name is Fisher. I am the Radio Roots Sleuth, on the program where we shake your family tree, and watch the nuts fall out. Nice to have you along today. We’ve got some great guests. First of all coming up in about eight or nine minutes we’re going to talk to Loretta Evans. And Loretta talks about the use of “circumstantial evidence” when you’re trying to put together your family tree. How do you know that it’s really good enough? What can you use it for? She’s going to have that for you coming up a little bit later on. After that, we’re going to talk to Bill Habermann he is up in the Seattle, Tacoma area, and he has adopted 1,600 people. All dead. In a cemetery! And you can do the same kind of thing. He’ll tell you what he’s doing and how he’s helping people all around the country, in fact around the world, find some of their missing relatives in the Washington State area. But right now, let me get on to Boston and my good friend David Allen Lambert. He is the Chief Genealogist for the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org, fresh back from the Federation of Genealogical Societies conference in Springfield, Illinois. How are you David? David: I’m doing good. It’s nice to be back on the ground in Beantown. Fisher: I’ll bet. And you had a good time there? David: We had a great time. And I want to let people know who go to conferences, no matter where it is, don’t be ashamed of wearing a lot of ribbons on your badge. Fisher: Really? Yours is practically like a loin cloth when you’re out there. [Laughs] David: Well I like to say maybe a shawl. [Laughs] Fisher: [Laughs] David: I had thirty-two ribbons on it and when I went to the Federation of Genealogical Societies gala’s 40th anniversary dinner, they had trivia and they also had a scavenger hunt. Fisher: Um hmm. David: 150 points for the longest badge put us over the top! Fisher: [Laughs] David: Myself and Mary Tedesco from Genealogical Roadshow, one of our friends and guests, all won over a thousand dollars in memberships and conference registrations and meals, we’re very, very happy. Fisher: Wow! David: So, laughing my way to the bank for the longest name badge at the Federation of Genealogical Societies and I’d do it again. Fisher: [Laughs] Unbelievable. I’ve got to tell you a story. Last week we had Susan Snyder on the show and she is the lady that set up a website and we talked about it, we did the whole segment about planting your family flag basically out there for people to find you and provide you with materials, and she’s had Bible pages sent to her and things relating to her direct ancestors. Things folks sold her or gave to her. She found me because we’re related. Well we had her on the show, and then the next day she gets a nice email from a guy, a listener in Cincinnati, Ohio, who said, “Hey, we’re related to!” and so now she’s exchanging information with him and I just love the way the show brings people together. David: It’s amazing. Just last week I got a person who has an oil painting of my third great grandfather’s sister born in 1772, and he was not really sure if his family will want it. So I told him I would give her a good home. Fisher: Yeah [Laughs] great! Wow. Hopefully you get that and when you do, send us the picture. We’d all love to see it. David: Hopefully it will be in my home some day. But I don’t want to wish him to meet his maker any time soon of course. [Laughs] Fisher: Of course. Hey what do you have for us today in our Family Histoire news, David? David: Well, the exciting story that I want to start off with is actually about photographs taken a hundred years ago by Captain William Chambers of the 49th Squadron in Kent, England. He was a recognisance photographer in World War I and was shot down in 1918 at the ripe old age of twenty-one. His camera and negatives eventually were passed on to his nephew who recent had them developed. It’s amazing! There are pictures of airplanes and pilots and people that have long since passed. But it gives us another fresh view on history from World War I a century later. Fisher: That’s incredible. What a great story. David: It really is. And I want to propose a toast to the subject of this next story. Second Lieutenant Donald Stinson now aged 93, received four Bronze Stars for his service in World War II, involving bringing guns and men and flying them to the front lines in Japan during the war. But one of the things he did, which is a light hearted note, he is responsible for bringing beer. Fisher: What? [Laughs] David: Twenty thousand cases of beer to thirsty soldiers in multiple “packiruns” if you will, to Australia and New Guinea. And I think that anyone who is a veteran could probably drink to that. Fisher: Wow, that’s great! Congratulations to him. That’s like the second week in a row we’ve had a story of a World War II vet in their 90s just getting their medals now. What is going on? David: It’s about time. It really is. Well I’ll tell you, going back a little ways to the days of immigration and to the east coast, Nova Scotia, which means New Scotland was settled by many people from the Highlands. In 1773 a vessel called “The Hector” brought 189 highlanders that disembarked and were changed in Nova Scotia forever. Now, BBC in Scotland is looking for the descendants. So if your ancestor came to Nova Scotia from Scotland perhaps on the Hector in 1773, there are passenger lists that exist, contact BBC in Scotland. Just check Extreme Genes.com. Our Facebook page will have more details for you. Fisher: That’s very cool. So the people from old Scotland are looking for the descendants of the people in New Scotland, Nova Scotia, to call back home. David: To old Scotland. Fisher: Yeah. David: New Scotland, old Scotland, it gets confusing. But BBC Scotland is obviously doing a little piece on it, so put your kilt on and go and contact them. Fisher: [Laughs] David: One of the things that I really enjoy is a good tip from a listener, and one of our listeners and someone who’s been on the show is the Photo Detective Maureen Taylor. Fisher: Yes. David: While I was in Springfield, she told me about a new type of app that she uses from the app store. There’s a variety of choices to choose from but it basically allows you to send a postcard. Take a picture with your smart phone, this company, for very cheap money, will print and mail mailable postcards for you for your relatives. So the old photo postcards you might have in your family archives, you can create new ones. Fisher: How cool is that! David: It really is. So that brings me to the NEHGS guest user database of the week which harkens back to Scotland again. We now have Scotland marriages 1561 to 1910 and Scotland births and baptisms from 1564 to 1950, in conjunction with our partnership with FamilySearch.org. Well that’s all I have for this week back here in Beantown. Talk to you soon my friend! Fisher: All right, great to talk to you again as always David. We’ll talk to you again next week. This segment of our show has been brought to you from MyHeritage.com. And coming up next, we’re going to talk to a woman named Loretta Evans. And Loretta is an instructor, she’s a researcher, and she’s got some thoughts on “circumstantial evidence.” Now, we hear people talk about it in the courtroom... does circumstantial evidence really prove a case? Well, in genealogy it actually can. And she’ll give you some examples of that and give you some other thoughts coming up in three minutes on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show. Segment 2 Episode 156 (11:10) Host: Scott Fisher with guest Loretta Evans Fisher: One of my favorite shows growing up was Perry Mason. And, Perry would get into heated battle in the courtroom with the prosecutor, Hamilton Burger. “Ham Burger” was what he was called. And they’d say, “Well, Mr Mason, that’s just circumstantial evidence!” And that’s what we’re going to talk about today. When it comes to developing your family history and your family tree, how does circumstantial evidence work in there and does it really matter? Is circumstantial evidence really evidence? It is Fisher. This is Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show and ExtremeGenes.com. And my guest today is Loretta Evans, and Loretta specializes in researching the midwestern United States, and she speaks all over the place, and she’s written articles for all the big family history magazines. And Loretta’s in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Nice to have you on the show, Loretta! Loretta: Thank you. I’m glad to be here. Fisher: You know, I’m excited about this idea of helping people understand that circumstantial evidence really is evidence, and in some cases is very, very strong evidence. So let’s just start with some simple examples of what circumstantial evidence is that we may typically use all the time, right? Loretta: Right. For example, if you have a census record, and you have someone’s age, it isn’t proof of the year they were born. It gives you an approximate year they were born. Fisher: That’s right. Loretta: But it’s sort of depends on who gave the information out. If it was the mother, and this is the child, they’re pretty sure about the age of their children. But if it was a neighbor or a grandparent, they may be a few years off. Or if somebody had a reason to lie, a lot of women lied about their age in censuses, so you can’t. Fisher: I am so glad you said that! Because it’s not something that I can easily say, Loretta! [Laughs] But it is true. For some reason, more with women than anybody else, I’m just sorry, it’s just the way it is. They get younger as they get older! Have you picked up on that? Loretta: I have. In fact, somebody told me, but it may or may not be true, that someone had done a study of British censuses and they found that the average British woman aged about seven years between the ten year census records! Fisher: [Laughs] Loretta: And you know, in a sense if you want someone’s more accurate age, find them when they’re very young or very old. Fisher: Yeah, that’s right. Loretta: And they’re more likely to be honest about it. Fisher: Yeah. [Laughs] Absolutely! Well that’s a great example of circumstantial evidence. Give us some examples though, of course, of direct evidence. Just for the sake of comparison. Loretta: Okay. For direct evidence, on a death certificate, usually the person’s name, their gender, the date they died, the place they died, those are all directly given by the doctor in charge or the person who is giving the information. You can be very comfortable about those pieces of information. Fisher: Right, as long as the people really knew what they were talking about. Loretta: Correct. But for example, the birth date on a death certificate is a little bit suspect. Fisher: Right. Loretta: If it’s a baby that dies and the mother gives the information, yeah, I’d be very comfortable with that. But I had a great grandfather who died in Cleveland, Ohio in about 1900, and I’m thinking he was living in a boarding house because they got his name wrong, they got his birth place wrong, they got his age wrong. It took us a long time to convince the city of Cleveland that he really was the same person. Fisher: [Laughs] Loretta: And that we could put a headstone on his grave. Fisher: And so what you’re saying is, for a death, a death certificate is direct evidence. But a death certificate is circumstantial as far as their birth is concerned? Loretta: That’s true. Or their parents names or their parents’ birth places, they’re wonderful clues. Fisher: Yes. Loretta: And so, if you are a researcher, you take those clues and then you try to find other documents that can prove or disprove that piece of information. And then you can be more comfortable whether it’s accurate or not. I think any evidence in genealogy is accurate until the next piece of information comes along that might prove or disprove it. Fisher: Right. Loretta: Somebody said it was like washing dishes. You’re all done, and then somebody walks in with another dirty glass. Fisher: [Laughs] Wow. That’s not very attractive at all. Loretta: [Laughs] I’m sorry. That image is, you know, you think you’re done, and then somebody gives you additional information that might even call into question what you think is accurate. Fisher: Sure. Loretta: I had two brothers. One born in 1944 and one born in 1950, and they both died at birth. And they were both born on July 12th. And in our family that was this kind of a “tender mercy.” “Oh, they had the same birth date.” And when the cemetery records came online, my older brother Ralph was listed as having been born on July 11th. Fisher: Oh boy. Loretta: And it was in the family Bible. There were no birth or death certificates because they were stillborn. They’re on the headstone. They carved it on the stone. Fisher: [Laughs] Right. Loretta: They forgot it being July 12th. And my mother didn’t really care, and my brother didn’t care, but it drove me crazy. And, I finally got my mother’s hospital records because some mortuary records didn’t exist anymore, and she was in her 90s and she just sighed and signed the permission slip. “Yes, you can release my hospital records from 1944.” Fisher: [Laughs] Loretta: Anyway, I got it from a place in California that had taken all of the records and they were sold there. Anyway, the hospital actually was in Utah. But he was born on July 11th. The headstone is wrong, our family Bible is wrong. Although they were born close to the same day it wasn’t exactly the same day. Fisher: Yeah. I’ve seen this before. We have a family Bible that gives the death date of my great, great grandfather, and even the obituary said December 26th 1875. But the death record said December 27th. And it appears that what happened was that he died at home, late in the evening on the 26th, but the doctor probably didn’t show up till after midnight, because the death time was put down as 12:30 in the morning. Or, they just didn’t recognize that it was a new day, at the point that he’d passed. Loretta: You know, that kind of thing happens. My uncle was born near midnight at home, and nobody looked at the clock until after he was born, but he could have been born before midnight. Nobody ever really knows. They chose one of the days and put it on the birth certificate. Fisher: Here’s another sample of a circumstantial situation that came up. I tracked down a third great grandmother, and I was very fortunate that somebody had actually been able to come up with a family Bible that put her in the family. And, it was from this very same area, so I was pretty confident. But still, how could I know for sure that she was the only person of that name from that area? And so, circumstantial evidence often involves eliminating other possibilities. I think you’d agree. Loretta: Oh, very definitely. You not only have to try to find evidence proving what you have, but you’ve got to look for are there any other possibilities that this could be, and can you prove or disprove those other possibilities. Fisher: And one of the things that’s really helpful now with circumstantial evidence, and when you have a case like this... DNA. And I was very fortunate that suddenly I found a person matching me in DNA who descended from the brother of the person I thought it to be, from a grandfather of the person I thought it to be, and a great grandfather of the person I thought it to be. Which I felt was very good confirming evidence of this otherwise circumstantial case. Loretta: That is excellent. Yeah. Fisher: So you put these things all together and then you get the confirmation, several times hopefully, from DNA. And then you can put together your case and you know, “Hey, wait a minute, I’ve got something here I can be confident in.” And that’s maybe at the point where you can publish it or put it online and share it with other people. I don’t know how you feel about it, Loretta. I like to put things together first of all on my own, keep it to myself, until I’m really, really confident in what I’ve got before I really share it. Because, as we know, once something goes public, if you’re wrong, it will take on a life of its own and live for years and years and years. And it’s really difficult ever to get rid of it. Loretta: Oh, that is definitely true. There are two major places where people put pedigrees. FamilySearch.org, another is Ancestry. The difference is that Ancestry keeps each person’s pedigree separate. Fisher: Yep. Loretta: Where FamilySearch combines everything. And your cousin could come along and change things in a while. So yes, you do want to be pretty comfortable with what you’re putting out there before you submit it. Because you could take two people who live in the same area, who have similar names and make them into one person, and make it very, very difficult in years to come for somebody to separate those two individuals. Fisher: Yeah, that’s the problem. So, that’s why it’s really important to work the negative side. Try to disprove that it’s the person as well as trying to prove it. And maybe get a little DNA help as well. And at the end, your circumstantial evidence can really prove your case. Loretta: One example we had about somebody walking in with another dirty glass... Fisher: [Laughs] Loretta: ...where we had a photograph that was of this woman who had died in Winter Quarters, Iowa. And, my husband and I visited a distant cousin one evening and she had another copy of the photograph. But it was a larger copy and somebody had copied the name of the photography studio as well as the image, and this picture was taken by Ottinger’s in Salt Lake City, Utah. Well, the woman couldn’t have died in Winter Quarters and had her picture taken in Ottinger’s in Salt Lake City because he wasn’t in business at that time. Fisher: Right. Loretta: And he was half a continent away. Fisher: Yeah! Loretta: And so, we concluded that it was the step grandmother rather than the grandmother that was in the picture. Fisher: Interesting. Well, there you go. Always making a few adjustments along the way, right? Loretta: Oh, absolutely. And, any genealogist who is afraid that somebody is going to disprove all the things they’ve worked so hard for isn’t really open enough to be a really good genealogist. Fisher: The experts are often wrong. And the best ones will go back and correct their own errors. Clean up their own mess and wash their own glasses, right? [Laughs] Loretta: [Laughs] There you go. Fisher: Hey, Loretta, delight to talk to you today. Loretta Evans, she’s in Idaho Falls, Idaho, talking about circumstantial evidence. Is it real? Is it good? Can you use it? The answer is yes! Thanks so much for coming on. Loretta: I’ve enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Fisher: And this segment has been brought to you by 23andMe.com DNA. And coming up next, we’ll talk to a Washington State man who has adopted 1,600 people. They’re all dead! They’re in a cemetery! He’s getting the word out about who they are, and you’re going to want to hear his story in five minutes. Segment 3 Episode 156 (24:50) Host: Scott Fisher with guest Bill Habermann Fisher: Welcome back to Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show and ExtremeGenes.com. It is Fisher here, the Radio Roots Sleuth, and part of my sleuthing has to do with tracking down people with interesting stories that I know might interest you. And this is a guy who I think is inspiring a lot of people around the country since his story broke recently in the Tacoma News Tribune. His name is Bill Habermann. And Bill, you work for a funeral company, yes? Bill: I do. Piper, Marley, Malinger and Oakwood are all tied together as one funeral home. Fisher: And yet, this all spills over into your hobby, as it turns out. You found a cemetery out in the middle of nowhere. I guess it's been grown over, and you've kind of adopted it. Tell us about this. Bill: Well, back in the 1880s when the Northern Pacific Railroad came out west and put a terminus here in Tacoma, they gave about 56 acres to the city for a cemetery. And back in those days, folks didn't want the cemeteries near the town, and so it ended up being out in the sticks, kind of. Well, then that cemetery became Old Tacoma Cemetery and was divided up into three parcels. One stayed as Old Tacoma Cemetery, or Tacoma Cemetery, somehow, and I haven't been able to find out how a portion of about eight acres became Oakwood Cemetery, and then off to the side of the two cemeteries. There are two acres that became the county's pauper cemetery. Fisher: And that kind of got overgrown and forgotten, apparently. Bill: Well, yes. And I gave tours of Oakwood several times, and people would ask me during the tour, "Well, what is that on the other side of the fence? I see a few headstones there, but it's pretty much just grass." And then I said, "Well, that's the county's cemetery which was closed in 1927, and there really aren't a lot of records around for it." Fisher: Now why is that? Bill: Well, I think back in the early days people just were not so record conscious as they are now. And either that or they wrote on a slip of paper and thought, "Well, I'll put it in the book sometime." And it didn't happen. Or the county said, "Well, it's up to the funeral homes to take care of the records because they're putting the bodies into the cemetery." They were each paid $4.50 per burial. So some of the cemetery records probably are just lost totally with the county, but I was fortunate enough to have the records for Piper Funeral Home which started here in 1908, and Malinger which started here in 1883. Fisher: They merged at one point. Bill: Well, they merged at one point, yeah. And then what I did, I just got curious and I looked up the folks who had some headstones and found some of them in our records and started putting that down. Somebody said, "Why don't you put this on FindAGrave because people might want to look up somebody." And I thought, "Oh, okay." And I started doing that and then going through all the ledgers here, I just came up with 1,600 folks that are... Fisher: Wow! 1600? Bill: Yeah. And that was at the time Karen did the article. Now I'm up to 1,626. Fisher: [Laughs] Of course. There's always progress. Now, would you find the names in the ledgers first? Or would you find the tombstones first and then try to track them down in the ledgers? Bill: Well, the initial 15 headstones or so, I looked for them in the ledgers, but then I just started with page one of the Piper book and looked through every page, a page at a time, and if I saw $4.50, that was a first give away that it was somebody that went into the pauper's cemetery. Fisher: Interesting. So it didn't mention the cemetery, it was the price that gave it away? Bill: Yeah, it's the price that always gets me to the page, right. Fisher: Oh, that's fascinating. So when did you start this project, and what has kept you going, and how often do you go there? Bill: Well, I started doing in on FindAGrave about six years ago. The people who own or are in control of the cemetery really don't want folks walking around in there, because several of the graves are sunk in pretty badly, because folks were put into wooden boxes and into concrete grave liners. So they tend to like to leave it looking a little rough, as it said in the newspaper article, so that everybody isn't cramming around in there looking for things. The headstones even are in such disarray sort of that I have not been able to figure out even the rows or the blocks or the plot numbers, like we have in our cemetery, to locate a specific person. And some of those folks might not even be anywhere near the headstone that's standing there. Fisher: Right. So the tombstone itself is the giveaway of who's in there, but you just don't know where the grave itself might be? Bill: Yes, right. Fisher: Wow. Bill: And some of them face east and west, and some of them face north and south, and some of them look like they could be in a row, but others have been marked just set kind of whacky. There are two Japanese headstones there that face no particular direction, you know, they're kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Those two fascinated me because periodically when I'd look over the fence I would see fresh flowers put on those two graves, and they're back from the early 1900s, and sometimes there would be small food offerings there also at those two graves. I haven't seen anything there for the last two years, but somebody was coming in there and still honoring their deceased family members. Fisher: That's amazing. Now, what have you learned about the people that are buried in there? Have you found some unusual or interesting stories about them? Bill: Yeah. There is one fellow that still kind of plagues me. His name is Taggart, and his story is sort of interesting in that he was a well known supposedly wealthy person here to Tacoma back in the early 1900s. And sad to say, his wife became insane and went to the hospital for the insane. While he, in the mean time, lost all his money, regained some money, lost it again, ended up living at the poor farm, and apparently he decided to try to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a straight razor. Well, the hospital saved him, but then ultimately shortly after, he died of pneumonia, which got a lot of people back in those days. Fisher: Sure. Bill: His headstone looks like a military headstone. I checked in the Civil War records and there are so many Patrick Taggards that I kind of lost track of did he really deserve a military headstone. But it's not carved in the way of any military headstones that I've ever found online. So he's kind of a curiosity for me. I really would like to get him a new headstone if he is military, but again, I almost run into a brick wall. Fisher: Sure. And that's the problem with common names, of course. So what about families? Have other families reached out to you from near and far to say, "Hey, you found my person I've been looking for!" Bill: Yes. I've gotten some thank you letters from folks, and on FindAGrave, they can correspond back and forth with me, and so they have thanked me and some folks have sent me information to add into my book. There's an infant that died I think age about three weeks, and the family didn't know whether the child was buried. They were so happy to find where the child was, and they sent me a copy of the baptism certificate for this infant. Although that's the only existing document there is, other than the fact that the child is somewhere in those two acres. Fisher: So, what about restoration of the cemetery? You're allowed in there and you're saying others are not, is there any interest in that on behalf of the owners or on the part of the owners to do this? Bill: I don't think so because it probably would be very costly, first of all, to mould the place and keep the grass looking nice, because here in summer everything turns yellow and dries up. The cemetery that they do own, Old Tacoma, is watered all the time with underground sprinklers, and they have their own wells, but I'm sure that they are not interested in spending probably thousands and thousands of dollars to make the cemetery look presentable. Fisher: You would think that people would have to adopt it, I guess, the descendants of those who are in there, if that was ever going to happen, right? Bill: Yeah. And because it's privately owned by Tacoma Cemetery, I don't think that they could even work that. It kind of would be a real conundrum. Fisher: Sure. He's Bill Habermann. He's a funeral director in Tacoma, Washington, and he has adopted his own cemetery up there and is getting the information he's finding up on FindAGrave. Bill, thank you so much for doing this! And I'm sure you're inspiring others who might want to take on the same kind of project wherever they are. Bill: I hope so. And thanks for the call! Fisher: Hey, this segment of our show has been brought to you by LegacyTree.com. And coming up next, we'll talk preservation with Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com. It's time to be getting ready for the holidays. He's got more great advice, coming up for you in three minutes on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show. Segment 4 Episode 156 (37:10) Host: Scott Fisher with guest Tom Perry Fisher: And welcome back to Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show and ExtremeGenes.com. It Is Fisher here, your Radio Roots Sleuth with my good friend Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com. He is our Preservation Authority. And Tom, good to have you back. Tom: Good to be here. Fisher: And we do have an email here from Richard Halter, and I believe it’s pronounced Sharon, South Carolina. And he said, “Fisher and Tom, I saw this ad on Facebook and my mind immediately jumped to all I’ve learned from your shows.” Now, he sent us a link to another digitizing firm that’s national. And he said, “My first thought was that they’re not going to do everything that Tom says to look for when getting your products digitized. And the same time though, I live in an area where there isn’t anything available other than big box stores which I don’t even like. Would you recommend something like this store as an option for someone who just wants to get the media digitized? I can do pictures and I’ve played with audio as well as slides and negatives and I’m getting better. I can also take video and convert it from DVD, CD and all this, as long as I can get it to the PC to work on. I’m not a professional to say the least, but I do the best I can and I’m getting better as I go. I’m a very big proponent of getting all of these memories digitized and I’d like to give people some options for things I cannot complete yet. Your loyal listener, Richard.” Tom: That’s a great email that you’ve sent us. You know, there’s a lot of things in here that are really great. I love how you want to get all your stuff digitized. You’re trying to do as much as you can which we really advocate, and then some of the things of course you can’t do. Now this place that you mentioned, I can’t really say whether they’re good or bad because I’ve asked listeners in the past, if you have good experiences with places whether they’re local or national let us know. If you have bad experiences locally or national, let us know also so that we can warn people or encourage people to go to these places. This is one that I’ve never received any information on. I’ve checked out the website, it seems legit and everything looks nice, beautiful website. They’re about the middle to high end which sometimes is good, sometimes it’s bad. Because most of the time when you see these real cheap things, you’re getting what you pay for, and it’s not very good. So they have a fair price, the price is a little higher than what we charge on our online store. But if it’s closer to you and you feel more comfortable doing it, what I would do is, always start with the smallest package kind of as a test drive and see if you’re happy with what they do. And then of course send in all your other stuff and if you’re happy let us know. Fisher: Sure. Right. And testing is a key thing. And I would imagine, aren’t there ratings involved with this somewhere online that he could check out? Tom: You know, there really should be, and I’ve thought about this before getting out there and doing some experiments with some of these different places and actually go in and give them multi-star ratings. So that’s something we’re looking at maybe in 2017, we might actually come out with a rating system. But we really need our listeners to let us know where they’ve had good experiences and bad experiences. And let us know places that they’ve used so that we can maybe start doing a rating system. I really encourage you use local places as much as you want. Use national places if you find out they’re good. You can go to shop.TMCPlace.com and get our prices. And usually if people are close to what our prices are they’re probably legit because they’re doing the right thing. If they’re way below, I say stay away. It’s not worth it. I’ve run into so much product places like that. Fisher: That’s the thing. This is not the kind of thing you really want to price shop on so much. I mean, if it’s too cheap to be true, it’s probably too cheap to be true, Tom. Tom: That is so true! [Laughs] Fisher: [Laughs] Tom: Yeah, you need to be careful. One thing that I really advocate that I think is really, really important which we have never gone into because I don’t like it. A lot of transfer places, they use high speed. So instead of like a VHS tape taking two hours to transfer, they can transfer it in 15 to 20 minutes because they’re doing it high speed which reduces your fidelity. Fisher: Of course. Tom: You know if it didn’t do that everybody would be doing it. We would do it. We could drop our prices way down. However, we wouldn’t be giving our clients the quality that they want. You know, if you’re in a situation where money is really, really tight and it’s that or nothing. It’s still scary, because I have people who come in to me and say, “Hey, we sent it to this place online that’s really cheap. We didn’t get our stuff back. Or it came back really bad. They told us our tape is bad.” And then we had to go and “undo” what the other people did. Fisher: All right. Well, what do we have coming up in the next segment here, Tom? Tom: We’re going to talk about some scanning parties we’re planning. Fisher: All right, we’ll get to that in about three minutes. This segment has been brought to you by Forever.com. And if you have a question for Tom Perry you can always write to him at AskTom@TMCPlace.com and you might get to hear your question answered on the air. From Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show. Segment 5 Episode 156 (44:20) Host: Scott Fisher with guest Tom Perry Fisher: And we are back, final segment of Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show and ExtremeGenes.com, Preservation Time with Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com. Tom, you were just talking about a scanning party you've got coming up. And let's just explain to people first of all what a scanning party is. Tom: Okay. It’s a lot of fun. It’s not a MRI or CRT or anything like that. Fisher: [Laughs] Right. Tom: What we do is, we scan your photographs. So this is where anybody can bring in one of those sterilight 16 quart shoeboxes with the lid on. Fisher: Yeah. [Laughs] Tom: And you can pack it with your 3x3 up to 8x10 non-damaged, non-mounted, loose photos, and we can scan the whole box for you for twenty five bucks. Fisher: Wow! Tom: So it's an absolute killer deal. Fisher: And fast too, right? Tom: Oh yeah! Oh yeah! It's really fast! It’s amazing! But that's why they can't be mounted or anything like that. They need to be all organized. If you have multiple sizes, just organize your sizes together. And bring your own thumb drive. And there's no additional charge. If you want, we have 16GB flash drives for only ten bucks. Fisher: Now where are you going to be doing this? Tom: The first one we are doing is November 11th and 12th in Midway, Utah. That's kind of up in the mountains, a beautiful ski resort area. Fisher: Wow! That's going to be great. Okay, so you have a location there. Tom: Right. Fisher: So people who would be in the Utah area would go where in Midway? Tom: It’s going to be at the Homestead Resort. It’s all part of the FamilyHistoryExpos.com convention that they're having, those two days which we talked about, about a month ago. So if you want to sign up for the convention, you can come in and do that. You can come in for the scanning party. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Remember, it needs to be up to 8x10 and it’s got to be in sterilight box with the lid on. No great big posters. We won't be able to do anything like that at this time. Fisher: All right, but you can do stuff that's small, very small. Tom: Oh yeah! We can go all the way down to 3x3 as long as they're in good condition. And if you have some pictures that are starting to fade and things like that, don't think, "Oh, I can't do these." No, this is a good time to do your faded ones, because we're going to stop them from fading anymore. We'll give you a digitized copy of all of them. And then whether you want to do it next week or next year or ten years from now, you'll have the high definition file that you can go in and do color correction. Or if you say, "Hey, this is over my head. I don't want to be involved in it." You can email it back to us and then we can do the color correction as well. Fisher: Now what kind of dpi are we talking about? Tom: It’s usually about 1200 dpi. Fisher: Oh that's good! Tom: Oh yeah! It’s a really high dpi. Fisher: It’s solid, yeah. So I've done this recently, of course, I've gone ahead, all of my old home movies and videos digitized. So I've got like 110 of them on disk. I don't even know what's on them all, because I didn't even know what was on the videos when I gave them to you in the first place. The joy of it, though, is I can take them one at a time, maybe one a week, right, and transfer it in some way and edit it down to just each individual thing. We'll, here's a birthday on this video, that's separate from the time we got to meet Joe DiMaggio over here or something like that. I mean, you can separate them all out. And so, with photographs, it would be much the same. You can digitize them all. And then when you get around to it, you're there. And what a great opportunity this is… Midway, Utah, November 11th? Tom: 11th and 12th, correct. Just go to FamilyHistoryExpos.com and you can sign up for the convention if you want to go to that as well. And just remember, like you just mentioned, it’s good to get this stuff done. And I've even had people tell me that they're going to go on a long trip, so they get videos, photos, all these things scanned, and then they sit in the back with the kids and put the DVD in, and they're sitting there writing notes. So when they're driving down the highway they can sit there and watch the thing, instead of watching Aladdin or something with their kids. They can say, "Oh, yeah, this is grandma." and talk to their kids. And make sure you have your iPhone or a tape recorder running, so when you're explaining all this stuff to your kids, you've got it down. And then later on you can make a slideshow with your narration for your great, great grandkids who will never know you, but they'll be able to hear your voice describing who these people are in the photos, who they are in the videos. It just makes it so nice. Fisher: Boy! What a great idea! And you know, trapping the kids, I love that! [Laughs] Tom: [Laughs] It’s great! We're going to be doing a whole bunch this next year in 2017 working with our Going Postal stores. So we're going to have a lot of fun in 2017. Fisher: All right, Tom. Thanks for dropping by. See you next week. Tom: We'll be there. Fisher: And this segment of the show has been brought to you by FamilySearch.org and RootsMagic.com. Hey, thanks again to our guest, Loretta Evans, for coming on and talking about "circumstantial evidence." Does it really add up? And to Bill Habermann from Washington State, talking about the cemetery he adopted and how you might be able to do something of the same. Hey, and don't forget, if you're going to become your family's family history expert, you need to sign up for our free newsletter, The Weekly Genie. Do it at ExtremeGenes.com or our Facebook page. Talk to you next week. And remember, as far as everyone knows, we're a nice, normal family!

Food Safety Talk, a bi-weekly podcast for food safety nerds, by food safety nerds. The podcast is hosted by Ben Chapman and barfblog contributor Don Schaffner, Extension Specialist in Food Science and Professor at Rutgers University. Every two weeks or so, Ben and Don get together virtually and talk for about an hour. They talk about what’s on their minds or in the news regarding food safety, and popular culture. They strive to be relevant, funny and informative — sometimes they succeed. You can download the audio recordings right from the website, or subscribe using iTunes. After establishing that Joni Mitchell is not dead and Nova Scotia is New Scotland the guys jump into food safety of microgreens. There is a wide range of microgreens available. One microgreen company Fresh Origins describes over 400 different types of greens products and has a cursory mention food safety on their website. The guys attempt to clarify the confusing world of sprouts, microgreens, and hydroponic techniques. There is a difference between sprouts and microgreens; Sprouts are sprouted seeds whereas microgreens are often sprouted once and then harvested repeatedly. There are also many different hydroponic designs where plants are rooted in a non-soil substrate and fed by circulated nutrient containing water. Hydroponic production can be done safely but does not guarantee safe food. A lot of circulating nutrient rich water allows bacteria to grow and move around. As with sprouts, the seeds used for microgreens combined with the growing conditions, does create risk of pathogen growth as described in this paper (STEC survival in microgreens). The guys talk Listeria in produce and the challenges of risk assessments. Don is going to a Produce Safety policy conference where he will give a talk on assessing public health risk for product associated Listeria monocytogenes exposure. A 2003 risk assessment ranked Listeria in produce as low risk however produce recently affected by listeria are caramel apples, cantaloupe, and stone fruit and this shows that risk assessments can become outdated. New information is always becoming available, for example, Listeria growth on the outside of cantaloupe at room temperature. The data is also getting more applicable as researchers now appreciate the importance of using relevant strains. Ben and Don discuss consumer recommendations lagging behind food safety science. For example the California Cantaloupe Advisory Board a ‘sliced melon should be stored in the refrigerator until it is ready to be eaten’ while data support a recommendation more similar to deli meats. Something like: if you don’t know your refrigerator’s temperature, eat deli meats and sliced cantaloupe within 2 days; if you know it holds food below 41F, you have 4 days. Ben and Don talked about visiting Austin and the 5by5 studios. And if you are in Texas try to eat at Torchy’s tacos. The guys talk about food retail and Ben gets on a rant about how when people talk about food safety culture they don’t quite get it. Ben describes a frustrating situation he encountered at a food safety meeting: food safety nerds reporting that decision makers respond to perceived risks more strongly than public health risks. Like one retailer spending more resources on hairnets than norovirus control because hair is what their CEO perceives as an issue.
