There's something of a relaxed grace about Florence, AL. It's approachable, artistic, yet with a definite deep South accent, and Odette, a restaurant nestled in an historic storefront in its downtown, is the culinary embodiment of that aesthetic. That style comes from owner Celeste Pillow and Chef Josh Quick, who's been at the helm since it opened in 2013. Although Josh didn't grow up in the town, his personality and style of cooking seem completely at home here. He came to Northwest Alabama by working at the Marriott Shoals, a popular hotel in the area, and before that, earned his culinary training through an American Culinary Federation apprenticeship at Walt Disney World. At Odette, his focus is on American food with Southern and International influences, and through the years, he's earned the trust of loyal regulars, so he gets to be creative with the ever evolving menu. He's earned my trust too, with one bite of crispy catfish in a flavorful broth, and I'm already ready to visit again.

Welcome to episode zero of Words on the River, a podcast about writing, writers, and words in general. We are hailing from the Tennessee River, named the Singing River by those who inhabited it first, in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. If you aren’t familiar with the area, it’s a little town tucked into Northwest Alabama, known as the “Hit Recording Capital of the World” back during my childhood, thanks to Fame Recording Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. This week, since there is such a rich creative history along the river where I live, I thought I’d share a bit of the folklore that led to the Name “Singing River,” which inspired the title of this podcast.

Tonight's guest, Joe Flippo, grew up in South Central Tennessee and in Northwest Alabama and has spent most of his life in the Southeastern part of the Country.

Who loves Halloween? Here at NYLL it’s one of the top favorites, so this week in honor of the holiday Allison chats with Debra Glass. Glass is an author and tour guide for Haunted History of the Shoals Ghost Walk. On the episode we chat about Glass’ first encounter with a ghost and two ghost tales of women from Northwest Alabama. Staying with the Halloween theme the Who’s that lady (from history)? is Tituba, one of the first three women accused of being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials.   *Note: You’ll notice the audio quality is a bit off for this episode. We’d like to think it’s Parthenia and Olivia making their presence known.*

Today is August 30th, 2017 and our guests this week are: Mike Shuster from the great war project blog,    Dr. Leander “Russ” McDonald, President of the United Tribes Technical College Joel Mize from the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials project in Sheffield, Alabama And Chris Connelly from Dayton Ohio who submitted a “stories of service” post and we want to talk about THAT. WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. Harvey Before we start the show today, we wanted to take a moment for the people of Texas struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Here is Dan Dayton the Executive Director of the WW1 Centennial Commission [DAN DAYTON] There are several links for donating to the relief effort in the podcast notes. link:https://www.uwtexas.org/hurricane-harvey https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app362b?df_id=27651&mfc_pref=T&27651.donation=form1&NONCE_TOKEN=7D83ADF3DC5B202D97E48EC4DA2D792D http://www.redcross.org/hp/harvey3 World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [SOUND EFFECT - WHOOSH] It really was a world war. In part, what made WWI  so immediately global was the “imperial” mindset of the times. Everyone thought in terms of empires - global and regional conquest, possessions, colonies, holdings, opportunities and international allies and bringing all that baggage into the fray.   [MUSIC TRANSITION] We’ve gone back in time 100 years to explore the war that changed the world! It is August 1917 and on the 14th of august, China declares war on Germany. So that got us thinking, here at WW1 Centennial News - about an Asia focused segment -  and this is it. Quick quiz! OK, China declares war on Germany - But is Japan in the war? An what side are they on? [ticking - buzzer] That’s right - in WW1 Japan is ALSO on the side of the allies. This week 100 years ago, a Japanese Delegation comes to America headed by Viscount Ishii, the former Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan. This prompts a number of articles in the Official Bulletin - America’s War Gazette created by the order of the President and published daily by George Creel, America’s propaganda chief. [SOUND EFFECT Radio and telegraph] Dateline: Monday August 27, 1917 Headline: Japanese Mission Pays Homage to George Washington, “He Belongs to All Mankind” Declares Viscount Ishii As the diplomat placed a wreath on the tomb of America’s first president, he declares: In the name of my gracious sovereign, the Emperor of Japan, and representing all the liberty-loving people who own his sway, I stand to-day in this sacred presence, not to eulogize the name of Washington, for that were presumption, but to offer the simple tribute of a people’s reverence and lové. The Day’s events began with a speech by Secretary of the Navy Daniels who recalled the visit to Japan by Admiral Perry a half a century earlier and couches it - NOT as gunboat diplomacy - but as the beginnings of a friendship between the nations. Later, Secretary and' Mrs. Daniels host the Japanese mission, at  Mount Vernon. The story goes on to list the guests who attend, including the 20 Japanese dignitaries and 60 odd American navy, diplomatic and political invited guests. Near the end of the week, Viscount Ishii is invited to address a special session of the US Senate: [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: Friday August 31, 1917 Headline: Viscount Ishii tells senate: “japan Took Up Arms Against Germany Because Our Solemn Treaty With Britain Was Not to Us, just a Scrap of Paper” Viscount Ishii speech included: To us, the fact that you, [the United State],  are now on the side of the allies in this titanic struggle, constitutes already a great moral victory for our common cause, which we believe to be the cause of right and justice, for the strong,  as for the weak… for the great, as for the small. We of Japan believe We understand something of the American ideal of life. and we pay our most profound respects to it. Jefferson, your great democratic President, conceived the ideal of an American Commonwealth to be not a rule imposed on the people by force of arms, but as a free expression of the individual sentiments of that people. Jefferson saw Americans as a myriad of independent and free men, as individuals... only relying on a combined military force for protection against aggression from abroad or treachery from within. In fact, the treaty he refers to means Japanese and the Brits have been besties since signing in 1902 - So - So on August 23, 1914 - 103 years ago (aside) - and - this is less than a month after war breaks out in Europe, Japan formally declares war on Germany and Austria/Hungary  - Here’s the deal they made - Even in 1914, the Japanese Imperial Navy is no slouch - so they agree to protect England and France’s interests in the Asia-Pacific-region, and in return, Japan gets to snag all the German territories in Asia as well as German pacific Islands. So the first thing the Japan does … even before they declare war… is to target a big German colony port in China… Tsingtao. Yes.. There is a connection… German beer… German breweries… German Chinese territories… and today’s great chinese beer brand. Prost… Gānbēi. Next, as per the agreement, Japan goes after the German colonies in the Pacific, making short work out of capturing the Mariana, Caroline and Marshall Islands. This kind of freaks out the Allies including the United States… although we weren’t at war yet. This Imperial Japanese Navy is performing just a little too well for our comfort. It just isn’t natural in the western cultural thinking of the time - with its deep seated bigotry and ignorance - to believe that an asian navy might be world class. But it is! Their support extends to europe…. By 1917, the on-going slaughter on the Western Front means that a constant stream of reinforcements is needed. If the Mediterranean route is squeezed shut, - by Uboats - the French and British Empire-troops would need to go all the way around the southern tip of Africa. So the Japanese Imperial Navy sends a fleet to the mediterranean to help with escort duties. Based in Malta they protect Allied shipping between Marseilles, France, taranto, Italy and Egyptian ports.    By the end of the war, Japan’s Second Special Squadron has escorted 788 ships across the Mediterranean, safely transporting more than 700,000 troops to the Western Front. Reportedly, several Japanese commanders commit Hari-Kari after ships under their protection are lost. They do have a powerful sense of duty! So by 100 years ago this month, on August 14, 1917, - three years after Japan - China declares war on Germany - How come!? Well, China declares itself neutral at the outset of the war, but also wants to show solidarity with the allies. Unable to send men to fight, they sent men to help. By the end of the war, Chinese workers rank as the largest and longest-serving non-European contingent in World War I. There are complex politics surrounding their role and the Chinese Labor force  - But perhaps most important -as China sees America entering the fray, it wants to earn itself a place at the post-war bargaining table. Top of the list for china is to regain control over the vital Shantung Peninsula.. That poky little part in the yellow sea across from Korea that Japan grabbed at the start of the war…  You know, where Tsingtao is located - China wants to reassert its strength over Japan, which is it’s big , aggressive adversary and rival in the region. At the Versailles Peace Conference following the armistice, the Allied Supreme Council—dominated by the United States, France and Britain - are divvying up the world… Japan and China are both there lobbying hard —about their respective claims to the Shantung Peninsula. Meanwhile - Japan introduces another idea into the mix. They propose racial equality language to be included in the league of nations charter: Their proposed language read: “The equality of nations being a basic principle of the League of Nations, the High Contracting Parties, agree to accord, as soon as possible, to all alien nationals of states and members of the League, equal and just treatment in every respect making no distinction, either in law or in fact, on account of their race or nationality.” A bargain is eventually struck with Japan, but not really to their liking! They go home pretty angry and humiliated. The racial equality clause is shut down - but --- in compensation - they get to keep some German submarines and the Shantung peninsula. Some historians noted that both sides see one another as unacceptably arrogant and bigoted… It’s worth noting that the next time we see Japan at war it will not be as an allie. And that is a quick overview of some of what happened in Asia 100 years ago in the war that changed the world.

Today Mike’s post takes us to the Aegean sea and the port town of Salonika, an allied stronghold in Greece - across the sea from Turkey. On August 27th, 100 years ago this week a major event strikes the city. Welcome Mike! [Mike Shuster] Thank you Mike. That was Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. LINK:http://greatwarproject.org/2017/08/27/idyllic-greek-city-consumed-by-fire/ The Great War Channel For videos about WW1, visit our friend at the Great War Channel on Youtube - They have well over 400 episodes about WW1 - covering the conflict since 2014 - and from a more European perspective. This week’s new episodes include: The second battle of Verdun Inside A British Mark IV WW1 Tank and Inside A British Bristol Scout WW1 Airplane, both from the Great War Channel’s recent trip to England Follow the link in the podcast notes or search for “the great war” on youtube. Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar [SOUND EFFECT] World War One NOW [SOUND EFFECT] We have moved forward in time to the present… Welcome to WW1 Centennial News NOW  - This part of the program is not about history but how the centennial of the War that changed the world is being commemorated today. Activities and Events [Sound Effect] I’d like to start by spending a little time on U.S. National WW1 Centennial Events Register itself. One of the tasks of the commission is to record and archive what America is going to commemorate the centennial of the War that Changed the World. So we built a US National Events register for that purpose at ww1cc.org/events - all lower case. Then we created two programs to feed it. One is a big red button that anyone can click and submit their event to the national register. That does two things. FIRST - It gets your event listed in the National Register and THEN - It puts your event into the permanent national archive for what transpired during the US WWI centennial - This is a permanent archive that will live on long after the centennial itself passes. In theory, when the US prepare the bi-centennial another century from now, your commemoration idea and event will be part of that record for the 2117 team to reference. The second program we created is for state centennial organizations, museums, libraries, universities and others who are holding a number of WW1 themed centennial events over the period. If you are one of those organizations, we have a special publishing partner program where we will train you, and give you direct access to the register - so you can post your WW1 events directly into it. If you would like to avail yourself of that program go to “contact” in the menu on any page of our website at ww1cc.org and send us a request . And perhaps most important of all -  for those of you just wondering what WW1 themed events are happening in your area --- currently I counted around 70 on-going and 45 single day events. That is around 115 different events going on around the country on most any day. And we think that is only a fraction of what is actually going on. So pass the word, if you are doing WW1 related events - Big or small - get them into the register and let our community of interest, and history know what you are doing to commemorate the centennial of World War I. The link to the U.S. National WW1 Centennial Events Register is in the podcast notes. link: http://ww1cc.org/events Updates from the States North Dakota [SOUND EFFECT] This week in our Updates from the States section - we want to highlight a very special gathering in North Dakota On September 10th during the final day of the 48th Annual United Tribes Technical College International Powwow, an annual gathering of some five to ten thousand individuals - they are going to focus on native americans and WW1. Susan Mennenga from the Pritzker Military Museum and library - and World War One Centennial Commissioner Terry Hamby will be on hand for the ceremony. We have with us today Dr. Leander “Russ” McDonald, United Tribes Technical College president. Welcome, Russ! [Exchange Greetings] [Russ, the Native American Role in WW1 was profound - both in terms of indian nations independently declaring war on Germany - as sovereign nations - and Native Americans volunteering as soldiers. Can you give our audience an overview?] [What do you think was the most profound effect of WW1 on the Native American Community?] [On September 10th, during the 48th annual UTTC International Powwow there is a remembrance and honoring of native american WW1 warriors. Can you tell us about that please…] [Russ, thank you for coming on the show] That was “Russ” McDonald, United Tribes Technical College president and host for the 48th annual UTTC International Powwow. There are links to the event in the podcast notes. link:http://www.uttc.edu/news/uttc-powwow-feature-honoring-wwi-native-servicemen Speaking WW1 And now our “Speaking World War 1 feature - Where we  explore today’s words & phrases that are rooted in the war  --- This week’s  phrase is “Field Day” Today, one might say that the “Hollywood Press” had a field day when rumours broke out that Angelina and Brad broke up. The way it is used now, the phrase “to have a field day” means an opportunity for action, success, or excitement. But the phrase originates from the military. It was used in the literal sense, for a day spent in the field, doing maneuvers, exercises and drills. This was particularly true during WW1 when  A LOT of men got A LOT of training exercises... A marine corp barracks might have sounded like this: Alright gentlemen, grab your packs, your rifles and your sorry butts - today we are having a field day - starting with a 4 mile run. Move out! You maggots. Field Day… A big event - now and then! The earliest references go back all the way to 1747. see the the podcast notes for more link: http://www.theidioms.com/field-day/ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/field_day 100 Cities/100 Memorials [SOUND EFFECT] Joel Mize 100 cities Next, we are going to profile another 100 Cities / 100 Memorials project.

This week, we head to Sheffield, Alabama for a project that honors those who died in the Northwest Alabama region known as muscle shoals. Joining us is Joel Mize, Steering Committee Chairman for the 101 Memorial project. Welcome, Joel! [exchange greetings] [Joel - your projects honors 101 individuals who died as a result of WW1, but not on the battlefields of Europe - but in serving the nation as Civilian defense workers in a manufacturing plant,  Would you share their story with us please?] [Joel - in putting this project together - what do you think is the most memorable thing that has happened to you and your team?] Thank you joel! That was Joel Mize, Steering Committee Chairman for the 101 Memorial project in Sheffield, Alabama.

Peter was drafted into the Marine Corps, becoming a Rifle Expert during training before deploying for france in February 1918. He returned home with a Croix de Guerre for his bravery in battle; interestingly, Peter was an avid photographer and returned home with not only medals but many wonderful photos. Welcome, to the show Chris! [Exchange greetings] [Chris, we have a link in the podcast notes about Peter Connelly and the story you submitted about him - - but I wanted to learn a little more about how you went about putting the story together - Where did you find the materials? ] [What made you decide to submit Peter’s story to our Stories of Service archive?] What is the Marine Corps muster roll? Where can people find it? [What is the most memorable thing for you in putting this together?] [Have you shared your findings about Peter with the rest of your family? What was their response?] [What advice would you give to others wanting to investigate their own family connection to WW1?] Thank you, that was Chris Connolly - who submitted a Story of Service about his grandfather US Marine Corps WW1 veteran Peter Alphonse Connelly. For those of you interested in your ancestors who served, we have very exciting news - We are linking up with The Roll of Honor Foundation, a nonprofit charity with the mission of honoring the military service of the men and women of America’s Armed Forces, educating the public about their legacy and encouraging public service among the next generation. We are in the middle of integrating our Stories of Service and their database of WW1 veterans which will add your story of service to the Roll of Honor. You’ll also be able to purchase a tribute wreath for you veteran on their profile, which will go directly to funding the national WW1 Memorial in Washington DC honoring all our WW1 veterans. We will have more details on this for you over the coming weeks. The links Peter Connolly’s story, the stories of Service and the Roll of Honor are all in the podcast notes. link:http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/commemorate/family-ties/stories-of-service/2471-peter-alphonse-connelly.html ww1cc.org/stories http://rollofhonor.org/ww1/ [SOUND EFFECT] Articles and Posts This week in our Articles and Posts segment - we are going to highlight 2 stories from our website at ww1cc.org/news "The Americans seldom miss a shot.” The first is about a famed skill of the doughboys. They were crack shots! As America entered World War I in 1917, a who’s who of National Rifle Association rifle champions gathered at Camp Perry, OH for an important mission. Training Snipers! These NRA Sharpshooters organized a national-level advanced shooting program —the Small Arms Firing School—where specially selected soldiers would learn advanced marksmanship, culminating in long-range shooting and sniper training. Afterwards, the graduates rejoined their units bringing their new skills with them and training others. Read the whole story about about how this public-private partnership for military marksmanship contributed to the American war effort by following the link in the podcast notes. link:https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/8/24/how-nra-trained-america-s-snipers-to-fight-over-there East Indian Americans in WW1 Finally in Articles a posts, we have a story about one of the Commission’s former interns, Tanveer Kalo, who is STILL doing great work on WW1. Tanveer was also profiled in the May 16, 2017 issue of the WWI DISPATCH newsletter - our sister publication at ww1cc.org/dispatch for his intern work and support in creating our Vande Mataram website about a forgotten group of WW1 veterans from America’s asian Indians community (see the link in the podcast notes)... Having become somewhat of an expert on the subject, Tanveer was recently invited to write an article on the same subject for American Bazaar Magazine, which was just published. Tanveer talks about the process and discoveries of his work, and how he is continuing his research even after returning to college. In the article he highlights his personal favorite story of Manganlall K. Pandit, who served the US military in both World Wars.   Check out Tanveer's great article at the link in the notes. link:http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/communicate/press-media/wwi-centennial-news/3039-in-defense-of-their-new-home-indian-americans-who-fought-for-the-united-states-in-world-war-i.html http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/vande-mataram-home.html The Buzz - WW1 in Social Media Posts That brings us to the buzz - the centennial of WW1 this week in social media with Katherine Akey - Katherine - You have two photos to tell us about today - Take it away!

Krista Manchester comes on to share her story of being homeless as a teenager and how she started Room in the Inn, a homeless shelter in Northwest Alabama. We discuss specific needs of homeless women and how individuals can help those in need within their own community. Sarah tells the story of Lois Jenson for our Who's that lady (from history)? segment.

Joe Flippo is a 41-year-old researcher of the mysterious Sasquatch.  He never believed in the stories about Sasquatch or Bigfoot.  Until a series of experiences occurred in August 2005, Joe then had no alternative but to acknowledge  that there is a species of unstudied primate living in the wilds of North America.  Joe makes a living as a trained security officer. In his spare time he researches local areas in the Northwest Alabama area. He has been married to his wife for almost 13 years and is the father of two boys. He will describe himself as just an ordinary man who has had some extraordinary experiences.

The Shoals is a community in Northwest Alabama made up of four towns: Muscle Shoals, Florence, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia. Tucked in the foothills of the Tennessee River Valley, the Shoals is an hour from any interstate, and at least a two-hour drive from the nearest big cities—Nashville to the north and Birmingham to the south.   The Shoals is one of the most documented places in the world of music. The Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, the Allman Brothers, Bobbie Gentry, even the Osmond Brothers -- all made pilgrimages to record at legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, with locals like Percy Sledge and the Swampers, FAME's in-house rhythm section. But music is only part of the cultural story here. There's a rich food culture, too. On this Gravy Road trip, we take a look at two sides of that story, one a local icon and the other, a newer kid in town.    

Kickstarter Link!http://kck.st/3IloYFLPURPOSE: We are putting this together for a planned scientific expedition to the Trinity Alps to help prove the existence of the hidden giant salamander species that calls the mountains home.SPECEMIN: The Trinity Alps Giant Salamander is cryptid giant salamander that is rumored to live in the mountain ranges of northern California, specifically the Trinity Alps. This giant has been seen in the area since at least the early 1900's all the way up to modern day with some of the more famous encounters being the Frank L Griffith sighting which included 5 of the amphibians all ranging from 5 to 7 feet in length, which would put them at a comparable size of Japanese Giant Salamanders. Also, the Vern Harden sighting which claimed to see large amounts of 4–5-foot salamanders in Hubbard Lake. During the early sightings, the area in which these creatures inhabited was vastly remote, but nowadays it is butting up to the edge of civilization with new construction projects, like resorts and dams on the edge of what is believed to be their remaining range. We believe that this creature still exists today but may very well be on the edge of extinction like many other salamanders in the world. Without proving its existence in the near future, it will probably be added to the ranks of manmade extinct species. DATA COLLECTION: How will we prove the existence of these magnificent creatures? By assembling a team of highly qualified aquatic and salamander experts and applying the most modern surveying techniques for other mysterious giant salamanders around the world. (i.e. Hellbenders, Giant Japanese Salamanders) Some of the surveying techniques we will be using, both physical and laboratory survey methods. The physical survey methods include snorkel surveys to help ID salamander dens and actively guide salamanders to nets. Scuba Diving to survey rock crevices and deep water ROV's. The laboratory surveys will be the most crucial for proving the existence of reproductive populations because larval salamanders are some of the hardest to ID on Earth. The survey method we will be using in this will be a DNA sampling of small amounts of live tissue from larval salamanders in the area that have a high probability of being this cryptic species, but due to the mass amounts of other salamander species in the area, it can be nearly impossible to distinguish between different species with just the naked eye. This may be the reason that some other survey teams came away with no definitive results.CREW: Cryptids of the Corn!

Professional Treasure HunterZach Alley: I'm an ichthyologist, graduated from Miami U with a BA in Zoology in 2015 and an MS in Conservation Biology from the University of West Alabama in 2023. Ive worked with aquatic organisms since 2012, and spend alot of my free time documenting aquatic biodiversity via publication quality portrait photographs of fishes and other aquatic life (crayfish, herps, etc) My most recent research has focused on systematics and phylogenetics and characterizing life history traits and co occurrence between Etheostoma parvipinne and Ambystoma salamanders in the black belt Prarie region of Alabama and MississippiDavid Pounders: My name is David Pounders, and I am a biologist. I was born in Panama City, Panama, but grewup in Northwest Alabama. Ever since I was young, I have been obsessed with animals, mainly reptiles and amphibians. Living in Alabama made this easy as it is easily one of the most biodiverse areas, so it wasn't hard to find different species of snakes, turtles, and other scaly critters. I knew I wanted a career in wildlife conservation but instead of working with reptiles and amphibians I now work with fish. My areas of expertise are Ichthyology, Herpetology, andpopulation genetics. I currently work with nongame species of conservation concern using molecular techniques to aid in understanding these creatures. My main focus is on narrowly endemic as understanding the genetic structure of the species is important to inform conservation managers. I still consider myself a field biologist. To this day I lead and assist field crew teams in doing surveys, population assessments, and habitat assessments. I one day plan to use my skills either in an academic setting or for other entities that aid in the conservation of aquatic species.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/cryptids-of-the-corn/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
