Columbia-based Socket has recapitalized their company and brought in new majority owners to raise money. Socket president Carson Coffman emphasizes that the original shareholders are still owners and are active in the company. The new majority owners are Charlotte-based Pamlico Capital and Oak Hill Capital. Mr. Coffman and Socket Fiber executive chairman Jim Gleason joined host Fred Parry Saturday in-studio for the hour on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable.” Mr. Coffman tells listeners that Socket needed another $250-million to grow the way they wanted to. He says Socket has added staff, with the new arrangement. “I think we've added 75 people already in the first year and we'll be up over 300 by the end of this year,” he tells listeners. He says the infusion of cash has allowed Socket to build in Missouri towns like Webb City, Odessa and Oak Grove:

Have you looked at maps of Okaloosa County from the 1900s? Some of the towns and cities like Crestview, Mary Esther, Destin are on there but what about the towns that we never see on current maps, like Fisher, Deerland, Otahite, Newell, Oak Grove, Pineway and even a town called Brick. Today's episode is about one town near Laurel Hill. It's spelled SVEA. We will get into the founding of this town and of course how to pronounce the name of this town.

Content Warning: systemic betrayal, institutional betrayal, gun violence, suicide, and murder.As shared in part one of her story, Jana Guyewski-Lautigar is a mother, educator, social worker, and author from Bastrop, Louisiana. She joins us today to honor her sister, Crystal McCrorry Jones, whose life tragically ended on February 9th, 2023. Her death was deemed an unattended death - when a person passes away without witnesses or medical personnel present -  and thus, requires certain processes and procedures be completed to properly be investigated. Jana has been on a mission since Crystal's death to compel the local authorities in the small town of Oak Grove to conduct standard, additional investigatory tasks that she believes should have been completed. Jana also now speaks out as an advocate for other family members seeking justice - and sometimes even just a simple investigation - via the media, her books, and in her classroom. She works to bring to light the injustices that The Broken Cycle Media team is deeply honored she is here today to share Crystal with our audience, as well as to share her expertise, advocacy, and warmth.

In a tiny Kentucky military town, two young women are slaughtered inside a “massage parlor” everyone knows is a brothel; then the cops crowd the scene as crucial evidence mysteriously disappears. As dirty officers and jealous lovers circle the case, the question becomes whether anyone in Oak Grove actually wants these murders solved or just their secrets kept.

Excite and direct the self-activities of the learner,  and tell him nothing that he can learn himselfIn this sixth episode of our series on John Milton Gregory's Seven Laws of Teaching, Ryan Gilmore is joined by science department chair Caleb Garrett to explore the Law of the Teaching Process. Together they examine the difference between delivering information and cultivating real thinking, emphasizing that true learning requires active mental engagement, not passive reception. The conversation addresses practical strategies such as Socratic questioning, error analysis, scaffolding, and celebrating small wins, while also reframing struggle and even failure as essential parts of growth. This episode challenges teachers and parent co-teachers alike to design lessons that awaken curiosity, foster independence, and form students who can think deeply and responsibly for themselves.Free PDF of The Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory through Veritas Press! https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/https://naumsinc.org/ https://classicalchristian.org/

"The learner must attend with interest to the fact or truth to be learned."In this third episode of our series on John Milton Gregory's Seven Laws of Teaching, Ryan Gilmore is joined by experienced grammar school teacher, Kay Nunn, to explore the Law of the Learner.

Through practical classroom examples and years of experience, the conversation highlights teaching as an act of formation that honors the dignity of the student.

In this opening episode of our eight-part series, we introduce John Milton Gregory and his Seven Laws of Teaching and explore why they continue to matter for Christian classical educators. Gregory reminds us that teaching works best when it aligns with the way students actually learn rather than personal preference, and that this kind of teaching leads to deep and lasting formation. We also consider why his framework fits naturally within a University-Model® School, uniting classroom teachers and parent co-teachers around shared principles of learning. In the episodes ahead, seasoned educators from our community bring each law to life with practical wisdom you can put into practice right away.Here's a link to a a PDF of The Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory through Veritas Press! https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/https://naumsinc.org/

Retired Bishop Larry Goodpaster leads us in a conversation about this classic prayer which challenges us to surrender to God's will and continue to seek to live a faithful Christian life. John Wesley and the people called Methodists used this prayer both then and now as a way to help us to focus on the New Year ahead of us and on our relationship with God.A special thanks to Bishop Goodpaster and we hope that you'll join in for worship at Oak Grove in 2026 as we begin a new series called “Methodism: This is the Way,” which will focus on the core teachings of the Methodist faith.

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 403The Saint of the day is Blessed Solanus CaseyBlessed Solanus Casey's Story Barney Casey became one of Detroit's best-known priests even though he was not allowed to preach formally or to hear confessions! Barney came from a large family in Oak Grove, Wisconsin. At the age of 21, and after he had worked as a logger, a hospital orderly, a streetcar operator, and a prison guard, he entered St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee—where he found the studies difficult. He left there, and in 1896, joined the Capuchins in Detroit, taking the name Solanus. His studies for the priesthood were again arduous. On July 24, 1904, Solanus was ordained, but because his knowledge of theology was judged to be weak, he was not given permission to hear confessions or to preach. A Franciscan Capuchin who knew him well said this annoying restriction “brought forth in him a greatness and a holiness that might never have been realized in any other way.” During his 14 years as porter and sacristan in Yonkers, New York, the people there recognized Solanus as a fine speaker. James Derum, his biographer writes, “For, though he was forbidden to deliver doctrinal sermons, he could give inspirational talks, or feverinos, as the Capuchins termed them.” His spiritual fire deeply impressed his listeners. Father Solanus served at parishes in Manhattan and Harlem before returning to Detroit, where he was porter and sacristan for 20 years at St. Bonaventure Monastery. Every Wednesday afternoon he conducted well-attended services for the sick. A co-worker estimates that on the average day 150 to 200 people came to see Father Solanus in the front office. Most of them came to receive his blessing; 40 to 50 came for consultation. Many people considered him instrumental in cures and other blessings they received. Father Solanus' sense of God's providence inspired many of his visitors. “Blessed be God in all his designs” was one of his favorite expressions. The many friends of Father Solanus helped the Capuchins begin a soup kitchen during the Depression. Capuchins are still feeding the hungry there today. In failing health, Solanus was transferred to the Capuchin novitiate in Huntington, Indiana, in 1946, where he lived for ten years until needing to be hospitalized in Detroit. Father Solanus died on July 31, 1957. An estimated 20,000 people passed by his coffin before his burial in St. Bonaventure Church in Detroit. At the funeral Mass, the provincial Father Gerald said: “His was a life of service and love for people like me and you. When he was not himself sick, he nevertheless suffered with and for you that were sick. When he was not physically hungry, he hungered with people like you. He had a divine love for people. He loved people for what he could do for them—and for God, through them.” In 1960, a Father Solanus Guild was formed in Detroit to aid Capuchin seminarians. By 1967, the guild had 5,000 members—many of them grateful recipients of his practical advice and his comforting assurance that God would not abandon them in their trials. Solanus Casey was declared Venerable in 1995, and beatified on November 18, 2017. Reflection His biographer James Patrick Derum writes that eventually Father Solanus was weary from bearing the burdens of the people who visited him. “Long since, he had come to know the Christ-taught truth that pure love of God and one's fellowmen as children of God are in the final event all that matter. Living this truth ardently and continuously had made him, spiritually, a free man—free from slavery to passions, from self-seeking, from self-indulgence, from self-pity—free to serve wholly both God and man” (The Porter of St. Bonaventure's, page 199).

JUST BEFORE SUNSET on the evening of April 12, 1946, Milwaukie residents James and Mary Rader were strolling with their friend H.C. Foster along the river by the Wisdom Island Moorage in Oak Grove when they saw a strange parcel swirling in an eddy under the dock. The parcel was about the size of a suitcase, wrapped in burlap and tied up with ropes and wires. It looked like it could be something important — or not. Foster thought not; he said it was probably “a bag of drowned cats” and best left alone, but he got a stick and hooked it and dragged it to the shore for curiosity's sake. It was carefully wrapped, that was for sure. And it was a solid object, about 30 inches long and 16 inches wide and less than a foot thick. The three of them untied it and started unwrapping the layers of burlap. They peeled off the burlap, then a grayish-black tweed topcoat, followed by a long pair of “union-suit” underwear, a dark blue sweater, and a pair of brown slacks. The slacks were the inmost layer. When those were removed, the three of them found themselves looking down at a naked female torso — headless, armless, legless. (Portland, Multnomah and Clackamas County; 1920s, 1930s, 1940s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2505a.torso-murder-anna-schrader-698.518.html)

Today's case is a special coverage at the request of Crystal McCrory Jones sister Jana, who is advocating right along with the rest of the family for Crystals death to be properly investigated. On February 9, 2023 Crystal was found deceased in her bed with a pillow over her head, and a gun in her hand with her finger pressed against the trigger. The cause of death was quickly ruled a suicide despite the family providing many red flags to the police for why Crystal's husband should be looked into. The family is asking for help in getting a proper investigation opened.  Join Patreon here to binge bonus content! Crime Curious is creating a kick-ass exclusive listener experience | Patreon https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crimecurious Music By: Michael Drzewiecki Cover Art By: Charnell   Justice For Crystal McCrory | Facebook, TikTok | Linktree Petition · Reopen Investigation into Death of Crystal McCrory Jones - United States · Change.org Justice For Crystal McCrory Jones | Facebook Petition · Reopen Investigation into Death of Crystal McCrory Jones - United States · Change.org Did the sheriff's office botch this investigation into a mother's death? Crystal McCrory Jones Death Raises Troubling Questions of Police Investigation in Oak Grove, Louisiana | Crime and Cask News Family, private investigator continue to raise concerns nearly two years after West Carroll woman's death ruled a suicide

When 43-year-old Crystal Jones was found dead in her Oak Grove, Louisiana home in 2023, local law enforcement quickly ruled it a suicide. But nearly two years later, her sister Jana is still fighting for answers because so many things about Crystal's death just don't add up. From an oddly premature conclusion, to a mysteriously delayed shell casing finding, to troubling inconsistencies in her husband's story, this case is full of red flags that were seemingly ignored. With help from private investigator Sheila Wysocki, Jana is doing everything she can to uncover the truth. So was this a tragic suicide… or something far more sinister?

In this episode, youth leader Vivian Mus and Youth Ministry Director C.J. Lord discuss where they are finding Hope

On February 9, 2023, police conduct a welfare check at a home in a neighborhood of Oak Grove, Louisiana.
