Her artwork is funny and honest! She's a mom and works full time, but alas still finds time to create amazing art work! She's also PA Dutch and shares some funny stories of her family and growing up in the area. I'm so excited to finally "meet" Angela and can't wait to get together irl someday soon.https://www.facebook.com/AngelaIzzoArtist
In episode 39 I catch up with Jess McPherson. Jess is a self identified artist, teacher, student, hard-worker and community member. She is both PA Dutch and Native American and we discuss the intersection of those backgrounds, the work she's doing in social impact strategy and also, of course, art and all it's therapeutic ways of working in our practices.LINKS:http://jessmcpherson.com/index.html

Click HERE to become a premium subscriber and unlock all of the amazingness: Ad-free, full length episodes The TBWPP Wedding Planning Resource Center with Access to 6 mini courses of The Big Wedding Planning Master Class Wedding Planning Templates and Tools Question #1: Compromising on catering and dealing with a sibling issue The first detail is the caterer. Fiancé really wants to go with a PA Dutch-style caterer, but I prefer a farm-to-table vendor that we found. Both are on our venue's preferred vendor list, so that isn't helpful in making a decision. I understand that PA Dutch food is really good and a family staple for him, but I'm thinking about our guests and various food sensitivities, and feel that farm-to-table would be more accessible for our families. Any input would be appreciated. Question #2: Can we rent an Airbnb for our Wedding? My fiancé and I are on a tighter budget for our wedding and since his mom knows many vendors in our area that could provide us a tent, chairs and tables, etc., we're looking to maybe do a backyard wedding. The only problem with that is that we aren't all that close with anyone we know that have big enough backyards for even just the reception. I remember hearing about renting an Airbnb with a big, beautiful backyard for a wedding - is this even doable? Question #3: My fiance is in a wheelhair Fiancé is in a wheelchair, and the bride wonders if she should be sitting or standing during the ceremony. Question #4: Religious mom wants religion in our ceremon and we do not My mother is very religious and wants [religion] to be a huge part of our ceremony. However, my fiancé is not religious and doesn't really want it to be a religious ceremony. My parents are paying for most of [the wedding], and I want to make her happy, so we are going to include a few elements including some readings. The biggest issue is the Officiant. We really want to have one of our friends officiate, as we want it to really be personal to us, but my mom wants it to be a pastor. It's causing a riff between us to where I get nervous to even talk about the ceremony with her because I don't want to have the same conversation over again (I don't do well with confrontation and want everyone to be happy). How can we make her understand that it's important to us to have someone we know and love marry us instead of someone that we don't know (we live in Seattle and the wedding will be in Illinois)?

On the last Wednesday of every month, Christy & Michelle answer listener questions live on the show - YAWA! This month we're answering questions about Catering Compromises, Sibling Issues, Airbnb Weddings, Listener Comments on Our Recent Episode with Linsday, and more! Question #1: Compromising on catering and dealing with a sibling issue The first detail is the caterer. Fiancé really wants to go with a PA Dutch-style caterer, but I prefer a farm-to-table vendor that we found. Both are on our venue's preferred vendor list, so that isn't helpful in making a decision. I understand that PA Dutch food is really good and a family staple for him, but I'm thinking about our guests and various food sensitivities, and feel that farm-to-table would be more accessible for our families. Any input would be appreciated. The second detail is one of our potential guests. My older sister (I'm one of 5) and I don't have a great relationship. I'm non-binary, and over Christmas 2 years ago, she made some really terrible comments about both my sexuality and gender identity. I originally didn't want to invite her at all, but my family sort of guilted me into it. I know I probably won't have much one-on- one time with her, but some members of my wedding party (mixed genders) will be wearing suits, as that's what makes them comfortable and their comfort is important to me. I know my parents would be upset if she wasn't there, but I'm not willing to put people that I am on good terms with in the position of possibly having their choice of clothing lead to insults of their character. Again, any advice would be more appreciated than I can tell you. Answer to #1: Sound's like you got off to a great start with wedding planning! Caterer: PA Dutch-style caterer, but I prefer a farm-to-table. Can you compromise? Can you do PA Dutch-style for cocktail hour and F to T for dinner? OR Can you maybe do stations for dinner and have them themed so that you get the both of both worlds? Inviting Your Sister: I'm sorry to hear that your sister is unaccepting and was hurtful to you about who you are. That is really difficult. You have 4 sisters, wow! I can see how it's important for your parents that all of their children be present at the wedding. I do think inviting her is the right thing to do, but I would hope that you did not ask her to be a member of your wedding party...did you?? There is no certainty that you sister will cause a scene. Even your language on your email said "possibly having their choice of clothing lead to insults of their character." I think having her there, but as you said not really giving much one-on-one time to her, should be fine. I see estranged siblings at weddings all the time and they typically behave. HOWEVER, if she starts acting up and being rude and loud leading up to the wedding and giving you the impression that she will not behave on your wedding day, then you have every right to un-invite her. Additionally, I want you to remember and keep in mind all the other family and friends that love and support you and that will be there on your wedding day. Don't focus on the negative and don't let it worry you. Question #2: Can we rent an Airbnb for our Wedding? My fiancé and I are on a tighter budget for our wedding and since his mom knows many vendors in our area that could provide us a tent, chairs and tables, etc., we're looking to maybe do a backyard wedding. The only problem with that is that we aren't all that close with anyone we know that have big enough backyards for even just the reception. I remember hearing about renting an Airbnb with a big, beautiful backyard for a wedding - is this even doable? Have y'all ever done an Airbnb wedding or know even how to go about this? We want to have around 100 guests so I don't know if having so many people at a rented place like this is even possible. Answer to #2: It is not entirely impossible, but that would be generally with less than 50 people. Not may Airbnb property owners allow parties or events, so there is a lot of searching that would need to be done to find one. You then have to communicate with the owners directly. Make sure the contract states that the date cannot be pulled or changed by the owner. Ask specific questions about capacity, parking, local noise ordinance, and all their policies. peerspace.com (https://www.peerspace.com/) is a company that aggregates properties that are available to rent for meetings, etc. That might be a good place to research. There is a lot that goes into a private home wedding, so make sure you have every detail figured out from trash to parking to where cooking will be, etc. Question #3: My fiance is in a wheelhair Fiancé is in a wheelchair, and the bride wonders if she should be sitting or standing during the ceremony. Answer to #3: Do what feels right to you. There is no right answer. There are ways to stand and sit, only sitting, only standing, etc. The decision might be made right then and there at the ceremony. It is not uncommon for the couple to be sitting the whole time (ie: Catholic Mass Ceremony). Maybe have a chair available off to the side, and if you start to feel like you want to sit in it, do so. You don't have to be given permission for any movement. It's your day! Pinterest is a great resource to see ways that others have done this. Just search "wheelchair wedding" Question #4: Religious mom wants religion in our ceremon and we do not My mother is very religious and wants [religion] to be a huge part of our ceremony. However, my fiancé is not religious and doesn't really want it to be a religious ceremony. My parents are paying for most of [the wedding], and I want to make her happy, so we are going to include a few elements including some readings. The biggest issue is the Officiant. We really want to have one of our friends officiate, as we want it to really be personal to us, but my mom wants it to be a pastor. It's causing a riff between us to where I get nervous to even talk about the ceremony with her because I don't want to have the same conversation over again (I don't do well with confrontation and want everyone to be happy). How can we make her understand that it's important to us to have someone we know and love marry us instead of someone that we don't know (we live in Seattle and the wedding will be in Illinois)? Answer to #4: I'm happy you are compromising and incorporating some readings. When someone else is paying for the wedding, it does often come with their demands. Are they DEMANDING this or are they just nagging? I too hate confrontation, but you are going to have to have it if this is important to you. I would use the wording you wrote in your email. "I don't want to have the same conversation over again" "it's important to us to have someone we know and love marry us instead of someone that we don't know” Tell her that you are so thankful they want to pay for the wedding, but that this is something that you and your partner are not willing to do. Tell her that you love and respect her and don't want to fight about this. There is no easy way to have this conversation, so you just have to have it and then stop talking about it. You may also consider not taking the money from your parents if things don't get better. Is that an option? You don't want this to become a big fight, so choose your battles wisely and perhaps see if there are any other compromises you and your partner are willing to make with regard to the ceremony.

In episode 38 I sit down (virtually) to chat with Len Smith. Len is a video producer who created a beautiful film in the 90's called Expressions of Common Hands-Folk Art of the Pennsylvania Dutch. It included many favorite and legendary PA Dutch folk artists at that time including Ivan Hoyt, Johnny Claypoole and Eric Claypoole. He recently followed that project up with an updated exploration of hex signs and hex sign painters called, Myths & Legends: Hex Signs of the Pennsylvania Dutch (2018). Len contacted me to be a part of the new project and I was beyond humbled to be included with the other contemporary painters that I have looked up to and appreciated their work for years. Please check out the trailer for the film and support it and Len's incredible efforts to share our amazing folk traditions of the PA Dutch.Trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ik4418Eyc8Purchase the film:https://turning-point-media.square.site/product/myths-legends-hex-signs-of-the-pennsylvania-dutch/5?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false https://www.masthof.com/products/pennsylvania-dutch-hex-signs-myths-and-legends-dvd?variant=34765565558947Len's youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFolklifeChronicleTake 2 Alpacas:http://take2alpacas.com/Other show related links:http://4turningpoint.com/www.discoverlehighvalley.com/listing/pennsylvania-dutch-hex-tour/3284/www.kutztownfestival.com/www.the-eck.com/

Climatrends Podcast Episode 3 - Hurricanes Dr. Kerry Emanuel Meteorologist Paul Douglas here with another episode of Climatrends, examining business risk posed by a rapidly changing climate. Our goal: interview leading scientists around the world, to better understand how physical threats are already impacting company's operations and bottom lines, and what climate models are predicting for the future. What should business leaders be doing today – to better prepare for a warmer, wetter, wilder tomorrow? For what it's worth, it was a tropical storm - Agnes, back in 1972, that ignited my interest in the weather. I was 14 years old when “Agnes” stalled over my hometown of Lancaster, PA. 10-20 inches of rain fell, washing away century-old, covered bridges in PA Dutch country, flooding our home. I vividly remember swimming in cold, muddy water in my basement. My mother was apoplectic. It was a traumatic event for our family, and in recent decades, hurricane trauma appears to be on the upswing, worldwide. We are recording this in early November of 2020. Another tropical system is lashing Florida. Tropical Storm Eta. We are now deep into the Greek alphabet; the National Hurricane Center ran out of traditional names a long time ago. Louisiana has been hit by 5 hurricanes and tropical storms this year; a record-tying 28 tropical storms and hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic basin this year. Is this a fluke or a trend? Is this normal or natural? Have the oceans always been spitting out this many intense hurricanes, or are consistently warmer oceans and lighter winds aloft creating a more favorable environment for hurricanes to intensify into what some meteorologists euphemistically refer to as “beast-mode”? A man-made chemical blanket of greenhouse gases, CO2 and methane, is warming the atmosphere; 93% of all the additional warming is going into the world's oceans, jet fuel for hurricanes that get their energy from warm water – the warmer the water, the greater the potential for rapid intensification. The proportion of storms rapidly intensifying in the Atlantic has doubled since 1982. Before we look forward, an examination of the trends. 2020 has been an aberration. There's no evidence the number of hurricanes is increasing over time. But the storms that do form, naturally, are becoming more intense. Five of the 10 strongest Atlantic storms have occurred since 2016, according to NOAA. Research shows the strongest, Category 3 or stronger hurricanes, are increasing at a rate of 8% a decade. A rapidly warming arctic may be impacting winds high above the tropics. Scientific studies suggest hurricanes are now moving 10% slower than they did in the middle of the 20th century. Meanwhile, the atmosphere is warmer and wetter, meaning hurricanes are consistently dumping more rain on coastal areas. In 2017 Hurricane Harvey dumped out more than 65” of rain just east of Houston, Texas, with catastrophic results. There is a growing, compelling body of evidence that hurricanes are trending slower and wetter, with more rapid intensification before they come ashore. Not more hurricanes, but the hurricanes that do form produce more rain, higher winds and a more devastating storm surge. Who cares? Well, 30 percent of America's population lives on or near the coast — roughly 60 million U.S. citizens live in Hurricane Alley. In 167 years of record-keeping Florida has experienced 40% of all hurricane strikes. Since 1980, the number of homes in Florida has roughly doubled, a recipe for trouble. Is this all a cosmic coincidence, or are warmer waters, in fact, fueling more intense hurricanes, and if that is the case, how can businesses better prepare for a world of super-sized storms-with-names? What should businesses be thinking, and better yet – doing – to lower risk, protect their employees and keep things going and growing?

In episode 17 I catch up with friend, Dr. Michael Werner. Dr. Werner studied PhD Linguistics at Universität Mannheim - University of Mannheim. He is from Ebertsheim, Germany and currently lives in Ober-Olm, Germany with his wife and three daughters. He founded Hiwwe wie Driwwe (translates to 'over here as over there') 25 years ago! "Hiwwe wie Driwwe" is the only Pennsylvania German newspaper and a non-profit project.We discuss many aspects of how PA Dutch are so similar to their counterparts in the Palatinate in Germany. And also how they differ. Dr. Werner has been instrumental in building a bridge between the two places and similar cultures. We are so grateful for his support and for highlighting how important the work of the Deitsch or PA Dutch is to both us and to the Germans of the Palatinate.A wonderful conversation with a very important leader in our community!Links:https://hiwwewiedriwwe.wordpress.com/https://www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administrative-offices/pennsylvania-german-cultural-heritage-center.htmlhttps://www.mennonitischer-geschichtsverein.de/geschichte/forschungsstelle/bestand/film:http://www.hiwwewiedriwwe.com/en/https://www.masthof.com/collections/new-books/products/hiwwe-wie-driwwe-the-roots-of-the-pennsylvania-dutch-dvdhttps://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B08DXNK5ZS/ref=sr11?_mkdeDE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=2BR811KL849CU&dchild=1&keywords=hiwwe%20wie%20driwwe&qid=1601124085&sprefix=hiwwe%2Caps%2C296&sr=8-1&fbclid=IwAR1cXG2i8BqabbQwY8-CFmPrZfIo7F2PO1rwWOEG3CFuMpwY-bfEqCun2wmusic:https://newpaltzband.wordpress.com/https://www.facebook.com/newpaltzbandhttps://newpaltzband.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/pressemeldung-pfc3a4lzische-band-new-paltz-vertritt-2019-im-rahmen-des-deutschlandjahrs-usa-die-pfalz-in-pennsylvania.pdfhttps://www.wunderbar2gether.org/homehttps://www.kutztownfestival.com/

http://www.amishroadshow.com Hello everyone. I am getting geared up for the 2012 travel season and I am very excited.
This week we are discussing long and short syllables in German with mezzo-soprano Tanja Baumgartner, tenor Virgil Hartinger and Uta Mücksch, a prompter at the Semperoper. The texts for today's episode are "Kommt ein schlanker Bursch gegangen" from Der Freischütz and "Waldesgespräch", by German romantic poet Josef von Eichendorff, one of the most famous pieces from Schumann's Liederkreis Op. 39. If you are interested in Pennsylfaanich Deitsch, there is actually a Wikipedia page, both in the language and about the language. There are many different spellings and pronunciations, so it's fun to look at! Plus, tenor Kenneth Riegel commissioned a song cycle of PA Dutch poetry in 1977, entitled Songs of the Tulpehocken, from composer Stephen Douglas Burton. There is a recording of them with the Lousiville Symphony, and he also performed them in several recitals with my mother! As always, please feel free to contact me here, at the Facebook page or directly at ellen@ellenrissinger.com
