Last time we spoke about actions in New Guinea and the Japanese counteroffensive in Arakan. The good ol boys down unda were getting ready to launch a major offensive aimed to seize Lae and Salamaua. The Australian and American forces gradually built up enough strength to commence the offensive and high command decided to launch some feints, such as at Mubo to distract the Japanese from their real intentions. Over in Arakan, Irwins disaster was still paying dividends to the Japanese as General Koga launched a massive counterattack. Things were continuing to get worse for the British in Burma, though General Slim was beginning to make improvements. Lastly the British began a propaganda campaign to boost morale in the far east using the mad onion man Wingates recent adventure with the Chindits. Things were looking rough in the CBI theater.  This episode is the Operation Postern, the drive to Salamaua Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.    I just want to say before we begin, this episode will feel a bit like one of those old tv episodes that rehashes what happened during that season. You've heard me say it a few times, but because we do this series in the week by week format sometimes we get into these messy weeks where either not much occurs or too much occurs. Regardless this episode is about multiple ongoing operations that culminate into the drive upon Salamaua and for the sake of coherency I am going to have to summarize a lot of what occurred in the south west pacific area for early 1943.  General Blamey devised a plan to capture Lae, codenamed Operation Postern. General MacArthur approved of the plan, which was quite complex and reflected the growing power of the allied forces in the southwest pacific. Blamey moved to New Guinea to take overall charge, reverting Herring to commander of the 1st corps, responsible for tactical operations. The key to quick success lay in convincing General Adachi, that Salamaua was the primary target for any major offensive. To accomplish this, it was necessary for the Australian and American forces to press upon the Japanese around the Salamaua area, but not Salamaua.  Operation Postern was preceded by three simultaneous operations occurring in the South west pacific area and the south pacific area. Together the three operations helped set up the conditions necessary to allow for an amphibious landing at Lae, by tying up the Japanese ground, naval and airpower in the region alongside creating important feints. The invasion of New Georgia was the first of these operations carried out by Admiral Bull Halsey and the 1st raider battalion. That offensive codenamed operation Toenails took up a lot of the Japanese ground, sea and air forces and would gradually see the allies capturing Munda. The 2nd was operation Chronicle, the seizure of Kiriwina and Woodlark islands located just northeast of Milne Bay. With their seizure, the allies were able to create new forward airfields from which to launch air strikes against Rabaul and provide air cover for multiple other operations in the region. Lastly the third operation was to be an assault on Nassau Bay, which we will talk about a bit later. Now back to the ground forces.   The 8th Area Army at Rabaul sent General Adachi and the 18th army to secure important areas west of Lae and Salamaua and to do so an offensive was launched against Wau. This prompted the Australian high command to send Brigadier Moten and the 17th brigade over to defend Wau in January of 1943. The battle to defend was tough, but the allies were able to prolong the Japanese advance long enough to transport enough troops to save Wau. The Japanese were sent retreating over to the Mubo area, but instead of pursuing the enemy, Moten limited his men's actions to patrols. The New Guinea force wished to pursue the Japanese, but was prevented by logistical difficulties. As the Australians gathered more strength, the Japanese prepared a second attempt to capture Way. This time the Japanese planned to approach Wau from the north, building a road from Markham point into the snake river valley. From there the Japanese advance would hit Wau. The 51st division was earmarked for the task, but the battle of the Bismarck sea had caused devastating losses to the convoy bringing them over in March of 1943.  The battle of the Bismarck sea had pressed upon the Japanese high command the increasing allied airpower, leading them to reformulate their plans. The Japanese began to construct a road to compensate for their inability to transport men and materials to New Guinea via the sea. As the Japanese did this, on the other side, the allies now felt very secure at Wau and were willing to perform some offensives. General Savige's 3rd division was given command of the Wau-Bulolo area. For this task he had the 17th brigade, the 2/3rd, 25th and 2/7th independent companies. It was believed the Japanese had around 5500 men around Lae and Salamaua with around 6-8 thousand at Madang and 9- 11 thousand at Wewak. Savige was ordered not to attack Salamaua directly, so he decided to establish firm bases as far forward as possible to harass the Japanese, basically you can see this as forward offensive patrol actions. Now the Japanese had dug in some defensive positions in places called the Pimple, Green Hill and Observation Hill which were along the main track from Wau to Mubo. On April 24th, the 2/7th independent company were given a new mission; to clear the Japanese from the vicinity of Mubo. Moten approved a plan for the seizure of the Pimple and Green Hill, ordering Major Warfe and his 2/3rd company to harass the Japanese logistical routes in Mubo as a distraction as the 2/7th hit the Pimple. The Japanese had made the Pimple a nightmare for the allied forces. They had taken defensive positions on commanding ground allowing for concealed ambushes. They cleared firing lanes to enable their machine guns to gundown anyone who took a forward approach. By holding the high grounds they also thwarted the allies from utilizing grenades effectively.   On the morning of April 24, after 20 minutes of air attacks by Boston aircraft against Green Hill, Stony Creek, Observation Hill and Kitchen Creek, the offensive kicked off with a two pronged attack. The 2/7th would start from the Vicker's ridge track, moving in two columns: one going along the Jap track towards the Pimple; the other would move north along the Laws track, a very difficult and quite unknown trail to try an encircle the Pimple from the west. When the two columns got within 100 yards of the pimple, they were met with light machine gun fire and snipers. The Australians attempted an all out assault in the late afternoon, but were unable to gain any ground. The next morning 3 Bostons came roaring in to strafe and bomb Green Hill while allied artillery began to bombard the Pimple. Despite the increased firepower the Australians still were unable to dislodge the enemy with their proceeding assaults. It turns out the Australians had greatly underestimate the defensive capabilities of the Pimple position. Reconnaissance had failed to pinpoint the enemy positions prior to the offensive. A major lack of communication between the two columns because they had no telephone lines or wireless communications led to a lack of coordination, neither allied column knew the plight of the other. Runners were used, but they were too slow and extremely vulnerable to Japanese snipers. The offensive was quickly falling apart as the Japanese continued to reinforce their lines. Meanwhile Warfe's men conducted a number of raids and ambushes in the Missim area, Komiatum Hill and Bobdubi Ridge. Warfe then sent a patrol from Namling along the Bench Cut track to ambush the Japanese at the junction between the Francisco river and the Buirali Creek. The ambush was a large success leading to the deaths of 18 Japanese. Warfe tried to perform an identical operation on April 28th, but this time his men were ambushed by the Japanese at Goodview junctions suffering considerable casualties. As a result of the forward patrolling of Warfe's men, the allies had learned the Dobdubi ridge area was defended quite lightly. Having learnt this, Ware decided to order a second platoon to capture the northern part of the ridge on April 27th. By the end of the month Warfe had two platoons spread over the Bobdubi ridge area, with a 3rd platoon held in reserve at Missim.  Over in his headquarters, Moten now realized the offensive against the Pimple was far too costly and he decided the men should simply bypass it. However the commander in the field, General Savige continued to launch attacks. The reason why Savige pressed on was because on April 28th, one of his reconnaissance patrols found a position on Pimple unoccupied and kicked seized it before the Japanese could return to man it. Colonel Guinn on the ground there deduced the Japanese must have been expecting an airstrike and momentarily left their positions. He therefore elected to order another company led by Captain Leslie Tatterson brought forward to assault the pimple. This time however, the allies used deception. Instead of launching an airstrike and artillery against the Pimple they passed over it and bombarded Green Hill. The deception did not work as planned and Saviges men yet again were unable to make any ground against the pimple. By early May the 2/7th battalion had lost 12 men dead with 25 wounded against the pimple with no end in sight. Meanwhile on May 3rd, an offensive was launched against the northern part of the Bobdubi ridge. The Australians were able to  fight their way close to the mouth of the Francisco river, prompting the Japanese to pull up reinforcements in the form of 70 SNLF marines from Salamua. A battle was fought in a place called the South Coconuts on May 5th. The Australians performed encircling maneuvers, managing to surround large pockets of the Japanese whom they smashed with artillery. The Australians were met with 3 major counter attacks but held their ground successfully occupying another place called the Center Coconuts by May 7th. However the Japanese then performed another counterattack, utilizing mortars to great effect, pushing the Australians back. The Japanese further reinforced the area with 60 additional men coming up from Salamaua, but they were ambushed by the Australians at the North Coconuts location suffering 20 casualties.     On May 9th, Captain Tattersons men were struck a lethal blow when they ran into a Japanese booby trap along the Jap Track. The Japanese opened fire upon the Australians on the track and began to encircle them. Colonel Guinn led a small force along the track to break the encirclement while Tatterson's men resisted tenaciously against the Japanese. Tatterson's force had been completely surrounded by the afternoon of May 9th and were in a state of desperation. The Australians utilized booby-traps, fire control and mass grenade attacks to force the Japanese to give them breathing room. The next day the Japanese launched a fierce attack against Tatterson's rear. The Australians could hear Japanese officers screaming orders as their riflemen poured lead upon them. As the Japanese pressed upon them they were receiving 500 additional reinforcements from the 102nd and 115th regiments. Meanwhile the 3rd battalion of the 102nd regiment in Nassau bay received orders “to capture the high area on the right bank of the Buyawim River fork” to be done in coordination with the May 9th attacks. This action would have endangered the allied positions at Lababia camp, but luckily the Japanese commander decided instead to hold a defensive positions at the bank of the Bitoi mouth. This allowed Colonel Guinn to concentrate some of his forces at Lababia camp. By May 11th, a company of 60 men managed to break the Japanese encirclement of Tatterson's men. According to Tatterson, by 7am on the 11th, the Japanese had continued to fire heavily upon his force, but made no further attempts to advance. It seemed to him the Japanese were actually withdrawing and the increased rifle fire and mortars was a cover. Tattersons men had been battered, he himself was wounded. His force received 12 casualties and estimated they had inflicted 100 casualties upon the enemy with possibly 50 deaths. Having saved Tatterson, Guinn reorganized his forward units and began to dig in along the Jap track and Lababia camp. From May 15th onwards the 17th brigade focused on aggressive patrolling in all sectors. Aggressive patrols each day harassed the Japanese around the Pimple and Observation Hill. The Australians set up booby-traps, practically paralyzing the Japanese troop movements outside their trenches. General Okabe received some much needed reinforcements over the course of the week and began to launch some limited attacks against the south, central and north Coconut areas. Okabe's forces were repelled on the 12th and 13th, but things would greatly change on the 14th.  The 14th saw a heavy shelling of the Bobdubi ridge area before Okabe launched a full scale attack that overwhelmed the Australian defenders forcing them to make a fighting withdrawal from the north and central area further down in the south coconut area. General Nakano was displeased with his troops and issued an address of instruction of May 17th, it is as follows  "In the attack at Bobdubi, although a certain group was advancing on a height on the enemy's flank, instead of really carrying out the attack in such a way as to prepare the way for an assault by our main force, they went no further than a vain firing at the enemy with their weapons. The spiritual and physical strength which was worn down in the Wau campaign is at the present time still lower, but I believe it can easily be restored if the officers will take the initiative, set an example and command as leaders of their men." Despite Nakano's criticism, his men would take a lot of ground forcing the Australians further south, dangerously close to Warfe's headquarters. Warfe realized maintaining the position would lead to heavy casualties, so he pulled his force out and took up a position at Namling.  It was quite fortunate as the day after he made this decision, 20 Japanese dive bombers strafed and bombed the village of Bobdubi. This was part of a Japanese heavy air raid that began on May 15th, culminating in over 100 Japanese aircraft hitting multiple Australian positions over the course of a few days. Three heavy raids were performed, but these air attacks focused general far into the Australian rear, leaving the forward positions rather untouched. On may 17th and 18th large formations of Japanese aircraft performed a raid against Wau's airfield. Although the Australians ultimately were forced to withdraw from many forward positions, such as Warfe's units, they managed the ultimate objective of operation Postern, to take Japanese resources away from Mubo and Lae. They had inflicted numerous casualties upon the Japanese including against Major General Okabe who had stepped on a booby trap that put a bullet through his right foot. Okabe had to be evacuated on the night of may 16th as a result, flown back over to Rabaul. Command was handed over to Major General Muroya Chuichi of the 51st division. The battle for Dobdubi was nowhere near done. General Nakano sent 170 soldiers of the 115th regiment on May 17th to attack Hote via the Malolo track. Nakano estimated the Australians had around 50 men defending Hote. The Japanese force ran into 25 Australians at Cissembob along the way and the defenders inflicted 50 casualties upon the Japanese before withdrawing towards Ohibe. One Australian commander at Cissembob had this to say about the engagement  "During this running fight, all men were under very heavy fire, but once again it was brought out what rotten shots the Japanese were. Not one of our boys were hit, and believe me things were hot." The Australians would return to the Hote area on the 22nd to find it completely deserted, so they simply reoccupied their lost positions. That is it for the New Guinea campaign, but other significant events unfolded for the Pacific War during this time period. On April 21st, with a heavy heart President Roosevelt announced to the American people the Japanese had executed several airmen from the famous Doolittle raid. To refresh your memories, 8 of the Doolittle pilots had been captured in Jiangsu province and put on military trial within China and sentenced to death “because of their act against humanity”. They were then transported to Tokyo where the Army ministry reviewed their case. Hideki Tojo initially opposed the death sentences for fearing the Americans would retaliate against Japanese living in America, he would be right about this. Sugiyama and the rest of the Army general staff however insisted on executing all 8 of the pilots who had contributed to the deaths of around 50 civilians and thwart possible future air raids against Japan. The executions would be authorized by an ex post facto military regulation specifically drafted by the army ministry. What is interesting to note, is Emperor Hirohito chose to intervene and commuted the punishment of 5 out of the 8 pilots. Why he allowed the other 3 to die in violation of international law is unknown as the Japanese destroyed nearly all documentation pertaining to prisoners of war by the end of the war. Some historians theorize Hirohito wished to demonstrate his benevolence. Yet again, this is one of those moments that showcases Hirohito was a very active participant, despite the claims made for decades after the war that he was merely a powerless hostage. The 3 men were executed via firing squad at a cemetery outside Shanghai in China on October 14th of 1942. It was not until april of 1943 that the Doolittle Raid operation was fully disclosed to the American public. The US war department said the chief reason for not explaining the full details of the Doolittle raid sooner was the need to bring the Doolittle pilots safely home and to prevent reprisals against their Chinese allies who aided the pilots. In April of 1943 the 5 surviving pilots were moved to Nanjing and in December of 1943 Pilot Robert Meder died of beri beri. He had been starving for months and rejected medical assistance. His death would result in improvements of conditions for the remaining 4 pilots. A truly tragic part of this war and to add to this I would like to read a short piece written by one of the pilots who survived the captivity and became a Christian missionary in Japan after the war.   I Was a Prisoner of Japan   By Jacob DeShazer   I was a prisoner of war for 40 long months, 34 of them in solitary confinement.   When I flew as a member of a bombing squadron on a raid over enemy territory on April 18, 1942, my heart was filled with bitter hatred for the people of that nation. When our plane ran out of petrol and the members of the crew of my plane had to parachute down into enemy-held territory and were captured by the enemy, the bitterness of my heart against my captors seemed more than I could bear.   Taken to prison with the survivors of another of our planes, we were imprisoned and beaten, half-starved, terribly tortured, and denied by solitary confinement even the comfort of association with one another. Three of my buddies were executed by a firing squad about six months after our capture and 14 months later, another one of them died of slow starvation. My hatred for the enemy nearly drove me crazy.   It was soon after the latter's death that I began to ponder the cause of such hatred between members of the human race. I wondered what it was that made one people hate another people and what made me hate them.   My thoughts turned toward what I heard about Christianity changing hatred between human beings into real brotherly love and I was gripped with a strange longing to examine the Christian's Bible to see if I could find the secret.   I begged my captors to get a Bible for me. At last, in the month of May, 1944, a guard brought me the book, but told me I could have it only for three weeks.   I eagerly began to read its pages. Chapter after chapter gripped my heart. In due time I came to the books of the prophets and found that their every writing seemed focused on a divine Redeemer from sin, One who was to be sent from heaven to be born in the form of a human babe. Their writings so fascinated me that I read them again and again until I had earnestly studied them through six times. Then I went on into the New Testament and there read of the birth of Jesus Christ, the One who actually fulfilled the very prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, and the other Old Testament writers.   My heart rejoiced as I found confirmed in Acts 10:43, "To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His Name, whosoever believeth on Him shall receive remission of sins." After I carefully read this book of the Acts, I continued on into the study of the epistle Paul wrote to the Christians at Rome.   On June 8, 1944 the words in Romans 10:9 stood out boldly before my eyes: "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."   That very moment, God gave me grace to confess my sins to Him and He forgave me all my sins and saved me for Jesus' sake. I later found that His Word again promises this so clearly in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."   How my heart rejoiced in my newness of spiritual life, even though my body was suffering so terribly from the physical beatings and lack of food! But suddenly I discovered that God had given me new spiritual eyes and that when I looked at the enemy officers and guards who had starved and beaten my companions and me so cruelly, I found my bitter hatred for them changed to loving pity.   I realized that these people did not know anything about my Savior and that if Christ is not in a heart, it is natural to be cruel. I read in my Bible that while those who crucified Jesus had beaten Him and spit upon Him before He was nailed to the cross, on the cross He tenderly prayed in His moment of excruciating suffering, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."   And now, from the depths of my heart, I too prayed for God to forgive my torturers, and I determined by the aid of Christ to do my best to acquaint these people with the message of salvation that they might become as other believing Christians.   With His love controlling my heart, the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians took on a living meaning: "Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in truth; beareth all things, believeth all things. Love never faileth."   A year passed by and during that year the memories of the weeks I had been permitted to spend with my Bible grew sweeter and sweeter day by day. Then, one day as I was sitting in my solitary confinement cell I became very sick. My heart was paining me, even as my fellow prisoner had told me his was paining him just before he died of starvation.   I slid down onto my knees and began to pray. The guards rushed in and began to punish me, but I kept right on praying. Finally they let me alone. God, in that hour, revealed unto me how to endure suffering.   At last freedom came. On August 20, 1945 parachutists dropped onto the prison grounds and released us from our cells. We were flown back to our own country and placed in hospitals where we slowly regained our physical strength.   I have completed my training in a Christian college, God having clearly commanded me: "Go, teach those people who held you prisoner, the way of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ," and am now back in that land as a missionary, with one single purpose--to make Christ known.   I am sending this testimony to people everywhere, with the earnest prayer that a great host of people may confess Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.   Alongside the unfortunate news for the Americans on May 14th a major tragedy occurred for the Australians. At 4:10am on the 14th, the Australian Hospital Ship Centaur was on a run from Sydney to Port Moresby when she was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The torpedo struck her portside oil fuel tank below the waterline, creating a 10 meter hole, igniting fuel and setting the ship ablaze. The ship was luckily not carrying patients, but held her normal crew staff, around 332 personnel on board. Many of those on board were killed instantly from the concussion blast, others from the blazing inferno. Centaur quickly took on water from her breach, rolled to port and sank bow-first, submerging within 3 minutes. Her rapid sinking prevented the deployment of lifeboats, though two would break off as she went down. According to Centaurs second officer Gordon Rippon, she was hit 44km northeast of Point Lookout. Of the 332 people onboard, only 64 would survive, most of the crew had been asleep when she was hit, giving barely a chance to react. It is estimated that 200 people may have been alive inside Centaur as she sank. Several who escaped the ship would die of shrapnel wounds or drown having found nothing to support them in the water. The survivors spent 36 hours in the water clinging to barrels, wreckage and two damaged lifeboats. The survivors drifted around 36 kms in the water going further north east. On the morning of May 15th, the destroyer USS Mugford departed Brisbane, escorted the New Zealand freighter Sussex when she saw some of the shipwrecked survivors. Sailors aboard the Mugford took up positions with rifles fending off sharks from the survivors. It took an hour and 20 minutes to rescue all 64 people. One of the survivors was sister Ellen Savage, the only surviving nurse from 12 aboard the Centaur. In 1944 Ellen Savage was presented the George Medal for providing medical care, boosting morale and displaying courage during the time they waited for rescue. The identity of the attacker was suspected to be a Japanese submarine. At the time of the attack three KD7 Kaidai class submarines were operating off Australians east coast; The I-177 commanded by Hajime Nakagawa, the I-178 commanded by Hidejiro Utsuki and the I-180 commanded by Toshio Kusaka. None of these submarines survived the Pacific War; the I-177 was sunk by the USS Samual S Miles on october 3rd of 1944; the I-178 was sunk by the USS Patterson on august 25th of 1943 and the i-180 was sunk by the USS Gilmore on april 26th of 1944. In December of 1943 following protests, the Japanese government issued an official statement denying any responsibility for the sinking of the Centaur. The sinking of a hospital ship was a war crime, and investigations were conducted between 1944-1948. The conclusion of the investigate suspected the I-177 of Nakagawa to be the most likely culprit, but there was not enough evidence, thus the case was closed on december 14th of 1948. Nakagawa survived the war and until his death in 1991 refused to speak about the suspected attack on the Centaur.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We're joined by a very special guest this week, Kimberly Christine! She's a Reiki master, paranormal investigator, and resident Duluth Ghostess! She owns Duluth Ghost Tours, and if you're a local listener you simply have to check it out! We start with Kala telling us about Norwood in Marshfield, WI. Now the location of Marshfield Scrap, this land has a way dirtier history than just a junkyard. Although the current property owner spent three years dismantling, demolishing, and razing the old rotting buildings, many landmarks still exist. And as we know, especially with old and haunted medical facilities, the site's history still exists in its legends and lore. And Brittany tells us about Point Lookout Lighthouse in Scotland, MD. Point Lookout stands at the north entrance to the Potomac River. It is considered the oldest of its type in the US and is said to be one of the most haunted in America. There are many personal stories from visitors and residents that are sure to give you the creeps, especially if you, like Brittany, are not a fan of soggy ghosts. We wrap up the episode by learning a little more about Kim. What a life she has lived so far! And she's just getting started. We get to enjoy some stories of her time in LA and the spirits she encountered there, as well as some teasers for what we can expect to hear from her next time she visits! This is an episode you do not want to miss!  www.cityofdarkangelstours.com -  A link to Kim's Hollywood Tour website with the group of EVPs including Peg Entwistle on the blue box on the left of the homepage.

The art of questioning is a foundational pillar of education, serving as a vehicle for learning, guiding, and elevating both educators and learners alike. For those committed to the principles of Classical Christian Education, it is imperative to reflect upon the kinds of questions that parents, educators, and administrators ought to be posing to their pupils. In this regard, Scott McElvain, the co-founder of the esteemed Classical Thistle and Assistant Dean of the Lab School at the School of the Ozark in Point Lookout, MO, expounds upon the potency of questions in a stimulating conversation with Davies Owens. Moreover, the discussion illuminates how one might use St. Ignacius' “Examen” method to create a sacred liturgy within the quotidian rhythms and rituals of daily life. Lastly, McElvain elucidates how one might incorporate catechesis into morning car rides by utilizing the New City Catechism.

Another Thursday, another state. This time we are in Scotland, Maryland vicariously living through others' investigations at Point Lookout. As is typical on the east coast, there is a long history here, and it's a bit brutal given its main backdrop of the civil war. Lots of unsettled spirits here due to imprisonment, but we'll let the EVP's speak for themselves. These are pretty wild.    Donate monthly here: https://www.patreon.com/orsotheysaypod Or a once off here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T22PHA8NAUTPN  And don't forget to swing by here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/orsotheysaypod/shop

There is something mesmerising about Fred Fowler's paintings. The multitude of small, colour-filled shapes scattered across a monochrome background raise a lot of questions. Is that a pink cat? A cactus? An alien? Next to a mobile phone tower? Are they related? Other amorphous elements seem purely abstract but still somehow evoke a response; a memory, an emotion. The viewer is taken into an alternate space where objects might be floating or fixed but often not identifiable. Ultimately it's a sensory experience which demands multiple viewings so it's not surprising that these works fly off gallery walls in sell-out shows. Fred's work is held in the National Gallery of Australia and, although his roots are in graffiti art and graphic design, as soon as he began his studies at the Victorian College of the Arts it became clear to him the direction he should take. In this interview he talks about that transition, the artists who have influenced him and the thoughts behind his work, openly sharing the struggles and doubts. It was a revealing and enjoyable conversation.  Fred is represented by Sophie Gannon Gallery and Jan Murphy Gallery. To hear the podcast interview click on play beneath the above feature photo. A short Youtube video of Fred in his Melbourne studio will be uploaded to the Talking with Painters YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

On this episode of Anchored, Soren is joined by Dr. Brian Polk, Associate Professor of Science at College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, MO. Dr. Polk discusses how his encounter with the liberal arts at the University of Southern Mississippi Honors College changed the course of his education, going from a pre-medical program as an undergraduate to specializing in chemistry and classical pedagogy as a doctoral student. He shares about his experiences as a classical educator, including his contributions to FASTly - a resource for teachers to provide quality science education within the context of Christian faithfulness. He also shares his perspective on the important role that science and natural philosophy play among the humanities in classical education.

The Point Lookout Lighthouse, located in Scotland, MD, sits at the entrance of the Potomac River at the southernmost tip of the Chesapeake Bay and is said to be the most haunted lighthouse in the United States. On May 3, 1825, it was decided that a light was needed at the entrance to the Potomac River in order to warn ships about the shoals and to prevent shipwrecks from continuing to happen at the entrance to the river. After five years of delays, it was first lit on September 20, 1830, and ran without too many issues through the years. Things changed for a time when the Civil War began. A hospital was built in the area to care for wounded Union soldiers, and when Camp Hoffman was built, it held as many as 20,000 prisoners at a time, which was double its occupancy limit, and at least 3,000 to 8000 died there due to limited rations and poor conditions.Because of the death permeating the ground in the area due to the Civil War and the several shipwrecks that occurred near the lighthouse, the lighthouse is incredibly haunted. People have heard footsteps in the hall and stairway, heard doors slamming shut, and heard voices and even snoring coming from nowhere. Several paranormal investigations have occurred here, where they were able to catch numerous EVPs, felt cold spots, and witnessed full-body apparitions. It has been discovered that there are 24 distinct voices in the lighthouse. Join us on episode 139 to hear more about Point Lookout Lighthouse, the most haunted lighthouse in America!

When I researched my family's history, I confirmed that all my grandparents were born during or soon after the Civil War. The documents I found supported stories I had heard from my parents. When I was a child, Mother and Daddy told me that when the young men who became their grandfathers volunteered in 1861 for the Confederate army, their families assumed that whipping the Yankees would be easy. After all, they reasoned, farm boys in the South were toughened to hard work and outdoor life while the city boys in the North were soft. Southern parents believed their sons would be home in time for the fall harvest. From family stories and corroborating historical documents, I know a bit about what happened during the Civil War to three of my great-grandfathers. One of Mothers' grandfathers died in June 1864 of wounds suffered in combat near Petersburg, VA. I still have an original note he wrote home two months earlier complaining that the men of the village who had “feigned illness” to avoid the draft were not doing their part to look after the women and children left behind by those who agreed to serve. Another of Mother's grandfathers spent most of the war at Fort Fisher, near the North Carolina town of Wilmington. When Fort Fisher fell in January 1865, he became a POW at Point Lookout, MD. Daddy's paternal grandfather, drafted in the summer of 1864 at age 48, was assigned guard duty at the infamous Salisbury (NC) Prison. He was one of the fatalities in November 1864 when harshly treated prisoners rioted. However, I recall no family lore, and have found no records, of Daddy's other grandfather. “Damn Yankee?” describes my search for who my fourth great-grandfather may have been.

The history behind the Point Lookout Lighthouse sounds like it was concocted specifically for a horror story. Which, unsurprisingly, has lead to a number of claims of hauntings and evil. Join us as Steve discusses what many consider to be America's most haunted lighthouse and/or state park.  Source: https://dnr.maryland.gov/Pages/Spirits-of-Point-Lookout.aspx

Dionne Entertainment is and has been LGTBQ Friendly!! The State of Maine made same-sex marriage legal in 2012. The Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal on 06/26/15 nationally. One of my favorite weddings was that of Jean-Stephane and Tom at Point Lookout! It was in French and English and featured a massive fireworks display.

Work Colleges like College of the Ozarks continue to be an option for a free (or extremely affordable) education, giving them powerful influence in the higher education sector as student loan debt continues to rise.What makes Work Colleges different from their peers? As you might infer from the name, Work Colleges incorporate work and service into the curriculum as a way to subsidize the overall cost of education. At least historically, a handful of these colleges (College of the Ozarks, Berea College, and Alice Lloyd College) are free of tuition for qualified students. There are eight work colleges in the United States: Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, KY Berea College in Berea, KY Bethany Global University in Bloomington, MN Blackburn College in Berea, KY College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, MO Paul Quinn College in Dallas, TX Sterling College in Craftsbury Common, VT Warren Wilson College in Asheville, NC.

Welcome to the Maryland Fishing Line Episode 014 Today is Tuesday August 25, 2020 This is the podcast where we talk about fishing throughout the great state of Maryland.  The Maryland fishing line is a production of The Angler Magazine, Chesapeake Edition.  The Chesapeake Angler can be found throughout southern Maryland, Anne Arundel County, and the Eastern Shore. If you would like to see it in your area and it’s not there let us know!  We got a lot to talk about recapping our joint fishing adventure Let’s take a look at what’s going on around the state. Remember that all Maryland areas of the bay and tidal rivers will be closed to striped bass fishing from Aug. 16 through Aug. 31 and in the mainstem of the Potomac River until Aug 21.Spot, White Perch, Spanish mackerel and puppy drum are the star’s of the show right now Striped Bass As stated earlier, Striped bass fishing is shut down until the end of August.You will probably encounter some as a by-catch but handle them quick - maybe even consider not taking them out of the waterBluefish Look for diving birds that give away the breaking schools of fishOnce located start pitching some metal spoons and jigs in the mix to hook upSmoked bluefish - yum Cobia Anglers who are watching for cobia to swim close to the surface are picking them up now and then by pitching live eels or large soft plastics to them. The Target Ship, the Mud Leads, and over to Point Lookout are popular places to look. Redfish and Puppy Drum Look for larger red drum under those schools of breaking bluefish and spanish mackerelUnfortunately most of the puppy drum being encountered fail to meet the 18-inch to 27-inch slot limit. But they are still really fun to catch on light tackle Speckled Trout Speckled trout continue to be a mainstay for shallow water fisherman throwing soft plastics.Speckled trout can be found along the shallower areas near grass beds, prominent points with good current flow, and creek mouthsCasting 4-inch to 5-inch soft plastics is a good ticket to success Spanish Mackerel The spanish mackerel bite continues to be hotYou are going to find these guys in the main stem of the Bay right alongside those breaking bluefish White Perch and Spot White perch and spot are everywhere right nowSometimes they are bait for catfish, sometimes they end up on a plate but either way they are fun to catchDouble hook rigs with bloodworm (if you are rich!) or soft plastics or beetle spins for the perch Croaker There are some small croaker around Let em go! Of course Largemouth Morning and evening bite is best on topwater baits like a whopper plopper or a buzzbaitThey move to deeper water or tight to structure in the day - slow fishing plastics or jigs on laydowns when the sun is high is your best betSnakehead Look for snakehead in shallow water areas early and late in the dayFind that heavy grass on a falling tide as they exit their coverCatfish Cats are abundant just about all over now as well.All of these can be caught on fresh cut baits, chicken livers, clam snouts, and a variety of other stinky baits.A great slow down fishing alternative to the striped bass right now during the closure Crabs Biggest crabs are being caught in 12 to 15 feet of water on oyster barsShallower areas are going to have an abundance of smaller crabsThe middle and lower bay are producing right nowRazor clams seem to be beating chicken necksYouTube catch up Don’t forget the August monthly giveaway we are doing in association with our YouTube channel - there are multiple ways to enter and win a $25 Bass Pro Shops eGift card. You can enter on our Facebook page - look for the tab on the left OR by visiting https://gleam.io/4XfZb/chesapeake-angler-august-2020-giveawayMagazine Catch up The September issue just went to the printer!

This episode is a revised repeat of an episode from April 2013.MUSIC – ~ 19 secThat’s part of “A Song for the Sea,” by the Richmond, Va.-based band Carbon Leaf.  The music opens an episode about Virginia’s famous connection to the sea—the Chesapeake Bay—and a wireless, floating system for getting current data and historical information about the Bay.  Have a listen for about 55 seconds to a recording from that system.VOICE - ~56 sec – “Welcome to NOAA’s First Landing buoy, part of the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System. … This buoy lies on a shoal in the Chesapeake’s mouth, approximately halfway between the junction of the Thimble Shoals and Baltimore channels, and east of the middle section of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.  The first landing buoy sits at the crossroads of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic. Weather and water conditions at this intersection reflect the dynamic daily interplay of Earth’s third-largest estuary and her second-largest ocean. … In this location, the First Landing Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System buoy anchors the lower end of the buoy system.  It provides fascinating observations on both water quality and weather conditions, assisting many users, from pilots handling large ships, to anglers in small boats, and even tourists driving across the Bridge-Tunnel.”You’ve been listening to excerpts of a recording from the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System, or CBIBS, about geography at the First Landing buoy near Cape Henry, Virginia.  Sometimes called “smart buoys,” these buoys provide current weather and water conditions at ten Bay locations, from the Susquehanna River’s mouth near Havre de Grace, Maryland, to Cape Henry.  Begun in 2007 and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, CBIBS buoys collect meteorological, oceanographic, and water-quality data and relay that information through wireless technology to users of the system’s Web site or related mobile apps.  Along with the data measured at the buoys, CBIBS offers geographic, historical, and seasonal information for each buoy location, both in text and in audio recordings like the one you just heard.  This information helps interpret the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, a water trail marking Smith’s explorations of the Bay and area rivers from 1607 to 1609.Whether you’re venturing out on the waters of the Chesapeake, or you have a land-based interest in Bay data, geography, or history, you can get information from CBIBS online at buoybay.noaa.gov or via mobile apps for the system.Thanks to Carbon Leaf for permission to use this week’s music, and we close with about 20 more seconds of “A Song for the Sea.”MUSIC – ~ 21 sec - “Sail, sail, sailor beware,” then instrumentalSHIP’S BELLVirginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech’s College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of Cripple Creek to open and close this show.   In Blacksburg, I’m Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.AUDIO NOTES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThis Virginia Water Radio episode replaces Episode 159, 4-29-13.“A Song for the Sea,” from the 2013 album, “Ghost Dragon Attacks Castle,” is copyright by Carbon Leaf and Constant Ivy Music; used with permission of Constant Ivy Music.  More information about Carbon Leaf is available online at https://www.carbonleaf.com/band-bio; at https://www.facebook.com/carbonleaf/; and in Carbon Leaf still going strong after 26 years, by Mike Holtzclaw, [Newport News] Daily Press, 3/14/19.

While you are also in an open boat, you are equipped with a cell phone and waterproof maps of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail—the first water trail in the National Park Service's National Trail System—giving you many advantages that the early explorers didn't have.“In particular, you have access to NOAA's Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS), a network of observation buoys that mark points along the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail.  These on-the-water platforms merge the modern technologies of cellular communications and internet-based information sharing.  You can pull out your cell phone and check out real-time weather and environmental information like wind speed, temperature, and wave height at any of the buoys.  Unlike John Smith, you know what's ahead of you, and can decide on an alternative plan to strike out for a landfall closer to home—protected from the elements and sheltered from the growing waves on the Bay.“Not only do these ‘smart buoys’ give you real-time wind and weather information, they can to tell you something about John Smith's adventures during his 1608 voyage.”SOURCESUsed for AudioChesapeake Conservancy, “About the [Captain John Smith Chesapeake] Trail,” online at https://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/what-we-do/explore/find-your-chesapeake/about-the-trail/; and “History of the Trail,” online at https://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/what-we-do/explore/find-your-chesapeake/about-the-trail/history-of-the-trail/.National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA), “Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS),” online at http://buoybay.noaa.gov/.National Park Service, “Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail,” online at https://home.nps.gov/cajo/index.htm.For More Information about the Chesapeake BayChesapeake Bay Program, online at https://www.chesapeakebay.net/.Alice Jane Lippson and Robert L.

Welcome to the Maryland Fishing Line Episode 012 Today is tuesday August 11, 2020 This is the podcast where we talk about fishing throughout the great state of Maryland.  The Maryland fishing line is a production of The Angler Magazine, Chesapeake Edition.  The Chesapeake Angler can be found throughout southern Maryland, Anne Arundel County, and the Eastern Shore. If you would like to see it in your area and it’s not there let us know!  Busy week, I know Joey you’ve been fishing, I’ve been fishing and the White Marlin Open wrapped up but before we get to all that... Let’s take a look at what’s going on around the state. Remember that all Maryland areas of the bay and tidal rivers will be closed to striped bass fishing from Aug. 16 through Aug. 31.Surface temps in the Bay dropped for a hot minute after the tropical storm but they are back in the hot zone by nowBut the wind and water churn did cool some deeper waters so fish will be a little harder to find since they have a lot more water column to work withStriped Bass Striped bass fishing for the next few days leading up to the closure is a morning affair.Sun’s up? Gonna be a tough bite.Why don’t you go ahead and switch to white perch fishing? Mortality rates are high particularly live-lining for rock fish.Bluefish Hearing some repots of larger bluefish in the mix running alongside spanish mackerelAnd there are still lots of smaller bluefish schooling on the surface - which by the way is a great way to find those bigger red drum as they will typically be underneath all the chaos Cobia Cobia fishing is still good this summer at the Middle Grounds, the Target Ship, the Mud Leads, and Point Lookout. But it does look like they are in a bit of lull at the moment - they could be spawning Redfish and Puppy Drum Puppy drum just under the minimize size are starting to show up everywhere and offer fantastic light tackle actionAs mentioned earlier big red drum are being found under schools of bluefish and spanish mackerel Black Drum Mid-size black drum are showing up in the middle bayBlack drum can often be spotted on depth finders by their heavy echo signature, which is due to their large air bladder. Speckled Trout Speckled trout continue to be a mainstay for shallow water fisherman throwing soft plastics.Remember grass beds hold the key for specks Spanish Mackerel The spanish mack bite continues to be hot - hopefully the influx of freshwater from the storm will not push them backThis bite should continue into the fallBe on the lookout for schools of breaking fish and you will find both spanish macks and bluefish - possibly with red drum underneath White Perch and Spot White perch and spot run together and are providing reliable action during these hot summer months and nothing has changed thereThey are spread throughout the entire Chesapeake Bay and tributaries, and populations are abundant. Pieces of bloodworm, grass shrimp, wild seafood shrimp are great for spot and add in small minnows for perch.  Croaker A few small croaker have been caught but most are sub-legal. Handle those fish quickly and get them back in the water for the future. Largemouth Summer summer summer patterns are strong with this fish right about nowMorning and evening bite is best on topwaterThey move to deeper water or tight to structure in the day - slow fishing plastics like wacky worm senkos is your best betSnakehead Northern snakeheads continue to provide great actionDon’t be afraid to fish new areas for snakeheads as their range continues to increaseOn the Eastern Shore, the Dorchester County tidal backwaters — tributaries to the Nanticoke and Wicomico — are consistent hotspots. Catfish Conowingo is producing some large flatheads and blue cats.Channel cats are abundant just about all over now as well.All of these can be caught on fresh cut baits, chicken livers, clam snouts, and a variety of other stinky baits. White Marlin Open The 2020 White Marlin Open wrapped up Sunday night with 2 new tournament record fish, 3 newly minted millionaires and a world record tournament payout.  The 433 registered boats braved a world pandemic and a menacing hurricane to haul in fish that were collectively worth $6.8 million dollars during the weeklong event – it represents the most tournament money ever awarded in fishing. The top prize of $1.85 million went to the “Canyon Blues” out of Ocean City, MD for the huge 97-pound white marlin caught by Brandon Golueke from Chester, MD on Saturday.  That fish stands as the 3rd largest white marlin weighed in the 47-year White Marlin Open history.  The “Drillin & Billin” out of Hatteras, NC weighed a 77-pound white marlin caught Friday by Taylor Fields from Baltimore, MD.  That fish was good for second place and $1.76 million in prize money.  Rounding out the white marlin division was the "Crisdel" out of Islamorada, FL with a 77-pound white on Saturday good for 3rd place and $200,000.  The fish was taken by Frank Criscola from Bedminster, NJ.  The Small Boat White Marlin winner was "Not Right!" out of Indian River, DE with a 72 pounder worth $100,000.  The tuna division produced the 3rd million-dollar winner.  The rules state that if no blue marlin is caught, that prize money goes to white marlin winners.  The lack of a qualifying blue marlin had an impact on the above white marlin by adding over $500,000 to their winnings. But the biggest benefactor of the vacant blue marlin division turned out to be Ocean City’s “Restless Lady.”  Already winning $900,000 for the 114.5-pound bluefin tuna brought in on Monday, the $417,000 in the blue marlin winner-take-all division defaulted to the biggest tuna entered in that level which was the “Restless Lady.”  The OC boat added that extra money to bring the winnings to over $1,400,000 for angler Travis Ort from York, PA.  Rounding out the tuna division were the “Sentient” out of Slaughter Creek, MD with a 121-pounder worth $100,000.00, the “The "Blue Runner” from Manasquan, NJ that took $165,000, and the “Swords Fish” from Indian River, DE that held on to win $150,000 for their 92-pound tuna.  The 2020 event saw two WMO record catches.  A 47-year-old tournament record 73.5-pound dolphin was caught Friday by Matt Wagner off the “Backlash,” and was worth $20,000.  The second record catch was a 273.5-pound swordfish landed by Kyle Gagliardi from Vineland, NJ.  Gagliardi is a professional bass fisherman who took a busman's holiday to land the saltwater billfish. Fishing off the "Jersey Boy" Gagliardi took $375,000 in the tournament Big Fish category.   There were 896 billfish caught during the 7-day event with 837 released. YouTube catch up I am currently working on another video that should be released in the next couple of days. Don’t forget the August monthly giveaway has multiple ways to enter and win a $25 Bass Pro Shops eGift card. You can enter on our Facebook page - look for the tab on the left OR by visiting https://gleam.io/4XfZb/chesapeake-angler-august-2020-giveawayMagazine Catch up The August issue is on the streets - which means we are working towards our September issue and we need bragboard pics!

Welcome to the Maryland Fishing Line Episode 010 Today is Tuesday, July 28, 2020 This is the podcast where we talk about fishing throughout the great state of Maryland.  The Maryland fishing line is a production of The Angler Magazine, Chesapeake Edition.  The Chesapeake Angler can be found throughout southern Maryland, Anne Arundel County, and the Eastern Shore. If you would like to see it in your area and it’s not there let us know!  Greetings and introductions Let’s take a look at what’s going on around the state. Main Chesapeake Bay surface water temperatures have risen to the mid 80s.This is peak water temperature for the Bay.These hot, calm conditions warm surface waters and limit oxygen being recharged to the deeper waters This in turn increases the chance of algal blooms. Gamefish will remain at similar locations on cooler river mouths or main bay structure but moving to slightly shallower depths looking for maximum suitable oxygen in the coolest water available.  Striped Bass The weather is putting a lot of heat-related stress on summer striped bass population. Maybe consider focusing on early morning hours, or switch to other species during the heat wave.If you do target striped bass, remember that you must use non-offset circle hooks when chumming or livelining. Consider using lures with single barbless hooks to make releasing fish easierUse care must be taken when handling fish. Never use a rag while unhooking a striped bass — this will rub off their protective slime layer, making them more vulnerable to the summer combination of heat stress and disease. Bluefish Hot and dry weather with high salinities equals more and better shots at bluefishTrolling spoons and hoses (surgical tube lures) will put you on the bluefish.Small bluefish are running about 1 pound, which is fun for the kids and a perfect eating size, whether fresh or smoked. A reminder that the daily limit for 2020 is 3 bluefish per day for anglers fishing from private boats or shore, and 5 bluefish per day when fishing from a charter boat.. Cobia Cobia fishing has been good this summer at the Middle Grounds, the Target Ship, the Mud Leads, and Point Lookout. The traditional methods are chumming and fishing with cut bait or live eels. In past years, anglers have also caught large cobia with other live baits such as spotSight fishing with live eels or large soft plastics on a lead head jig is a trending method This requires using an elevated platform to spot fish, and polarized sunglasses to cut through the glare on the water..Trolling spoons and hoses will also find cobia. Redfish and Puppy Drum Large red drum are being caught and released by light tackle jiggers with soft plastics in the lower bay.Trolling spoons and hoses (surgical tube lures) will produce large drum around the Target ship. Speckled Trout The shallow-water fishing for speckled trout continues with topwater and soft paddletail baits near shallow grass beds along the Eastern Shore marshes. Zara Spooks work over grass beds But reports show soft plastics and paddletails working best over deeper grass, shoreline structure, rocks. riprap, wood, and stump fields. The best speckled trout fishing is occurring along the marshes of the Pocomoke and Tangier sounds up to Hoopers Island.Speckled trout action continues from the Choptank River south along the Dorchester County shorelines, and down into the Crisfield area marsh shorelines and cuts. Grass beds in 3-5 feet of water are excellent places to cast topwater lures and swim shads. Zara Spooks, Gulp plastics, and soft plastics in pearl or white with sparkles are popular. The structure around Sharps Island lighthouse is a popular spot.Spanish Mackerel Just like bluefish, love the combination of hot and dry weather and salinities being relatively high. Anglers are hoping for a repeat of last year’s hot action on Spanish mackerel which extended all the way to the upper bay.   You will find spanish mackerel right now busting schools of bait fish alongside the bluefish.Spanish mackerel are being caught by fast trolling  — about 7 knots is the target speed — with small Drone or Clark spoons. Always be ready with metal lures in case Spanish mackerel show up on the surface White Perch and Spot White perch and spot run together and are providing reliable action during these hot summer months. They are spread throughout the entire Chesapeake Bay and tributaries, and populations are abundant. Many anglers are finding a lot of small fish in some areas but a few big fish can be culled from the school. The usual small spinners and 1/16 to 1/8-ounce lead heads with Mr. Twister grubs on light spinning tackle will produce results for white perch. Pieces of bloodworm, grass shrimp, wild seafood shrimp are great for spot and add in small minnows for perch. Medium-sized minnows fished under a bobber around shoreline structure will often catch a large grade of perch.White perch and spot can be found on hard bottom areas or shoals off Sandy Point State Park beach, the mouth of the Magothy, and the shallow ends of the Bay Bridge. They can also be found at the Snake Reef, Belvidere Shoal, and the 7-foot and 9-foot knolls. Bottom fishing action for perch and spot can be found at Hacketts and Thomas points on shell bottom and bars, as well as around Eastern Bay, Poplar Island, and the Severn and Choptank riversFishing for white perch in the shallower shoreline areas should be steady from now into September. Shoreline structure such as bulkheads, submerged rocks, fallen trees, and riprap are good areas to cast small spinners, spinnerbaits, and jigs. White perch and spot can also be caught off of docks and piers in 5-10 feet of water with a simple one-hook or two-hook bottom rig baited with pieces of soft crab, bloodworm, or grass shrimp. Synthetic bloodworm-flavored fishbites also work well.Steady bottom fishing action in the hard bottom areas of the lower Patuxent River, Honga River, and off Hoopers Island with pieces of bloodworm on a bottom rig is the best bait for perch and spot alike..  Croaker A few small croaker have been caught in the Severn River, South River, and other areas, but most are sub-legal. Handle those fish quickly and get them back in the water for the future. Largemouth Bass are firmly entrenched now in summer patterns.Look for them to feed early and late in the day and find someplace to be lazy during the day.Ponds and small lakes can be fished from shore with a variety of weedless soft plastics, including plastic worms, flukes, and lizards in grass, lily pads, or near sunken wood structure.Snakehead Northern snakeheads will jump all over traditional bass lures such as buzzbaits and frogs.These are excellent baits to cast over thick grass that we are seeing a lot of now.Chatterbaits and paddle tails will also produce snakeheads. Ttributaries of the tidal Potomac, Patuxent, Patapsco, and other tidal rivers around the Chesapeake have expanding populations of northern snakeheads. For anglers targeting snakehead in central Maryland, try Little Seneca Lake at Blackhills Regional Park. Department biologists first documented a snakehead population in the lake in May 2019 after receiving reports of sightings by anglers. Snakeheads have been observed close to the bank even during the heat of the day. On the Eastern Shore, the Dorchester County tidal backwaters — tributaries to the Nanticoke and Wicomico — are consistent hotspots. Catfish Conowingo is producing some large flatheads and blue cats.Channel cats are abundant just about all over now as well.All of these can be caught on fresh cut baits, chicken livers, clam snouts, and a variety of other stinky baits. The rest… Carp are providing steady summer fun in the upper Potomac, C&O Canal, and various ponds with the traditional baits of scented dough ball baits or corn. Fly casters can catch carp with purple flies that resemble mulberries in areas where the berries fall into the water from overhanging branches.  YouTube catch up We are going to launch a new monthly giveaway with multiple ways on August 1st - you can enter to win a $25 Bass Pro Shops eGift card. As always, if there is something you would like to see covered on the YouTube channel let me know and we will see what we can do about that. Magazine Catch up The August issue will start showing up close by to you any day now.

In this episode Amanda and Lauren discuss the Japanese paraquat poisonings that took 12 lives and the haunting of room 12 at the Lookout Mountain Inn and Restaurant in the Catskills.

If great views are what you’re after, the trail to Medicine Point Lookout in the Bitterroots won’t disappoint! It’s a steep climb to the ridge through both lush and previously burned forest, but the reward - 360 degree views of the Bitterroots, Pintlers, and Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness - are well worth the effort. If you really want to soak in the scenery, spend the night in the refurbished 1940s lookout perched on top of the ridge. It’s a spectacular place to kick back and soak in the sunrise and sunset.

Welcome to the Maryland Fishing Line Episode 07 Today is July 7, 2020 This is the podcast where we talk about fishing throughout the great state of Maryland.  The Maryland fishing line is a production of The Angler Magazine, Chesapeake Edition.  The Chesapeake Angler can be found throughout southern Maryland, Anne Arundel County, and the Eastern Shore. If you would like to see it in your area and it’s not there let us know!  Greetings and introductions Let’s take a look at what’s going on around the state. Chesapeake surface temps keep climbing and are now sitting in the low 80’s. River temps are also heating up - This means rockfish are going to be moving to deeper more oxygenated water.  White perch are going to be holding in 20 feet of water or less on mud, clay or sand bottoms. White perch can be found in the tidal creeks and rivers throughout the bay. With higher water temps also comes algae blooms and reduced water clarity. Upper Chesapeake Bay The Conowingo Dam early in the morning is prime topwater action for striped bass. This action continues down the river and out along the edge of the Susquehanna Flats. As the morning hours progress, switch to soft plastic jigs. All types catfish are providing plenty of action for those fishing cut bait.  Striped bass fishing has been good in the upper bay whether one is trolling, live-lining, jigging, or casting lures. Tolchester Lumps has seen a lot of boats live-lining and chumming for striped bass but this has also led to a lot of discarded dead floaters - use your circle hooks and handle the fish quickly and get them back in the water. The Spot bite has now reached the Bay Bridge - bloodworms on the bottom will provide tons and tons of action. Jigging is good also at the Love Point rocks, the Bay Bridge piers and rock piles with skirted soft plastic jigs in white, pearl or chartreuse combinations with a little sparkle are working well. Jigs are either worked close to the bridge piers or the rocks Middle Bay In the middle bay, striped bass fishing including trolling, live-lining, jigging, and casting lures near shoreline structure has been producing. Trolling weighted umbrella rigs along the 30-foot edge of the shipping channel is providing a slow pick of fish longer than 19 inches. Several traditional locations have been popular, including Buoy 83 and Bloody, Breezy, Hacketts, and Thomas points. White bucktails and swimshads are the favorite color as trailers. The shallow-water striped bass fishery that many light-tackle anglers love is beginning to slip into a typical summer mode. This means the best fishing success occurs at the crack of dawn or late in the evening. Striped bass do not feel comfortable in waters above 80 degrees. Lower Bay Striped bass fishing in the Potomac River from the Route 301 Bridge south to the St. Marys River has been good and should continue. Trolling along the steeper channel edges with tandem rigged bucktails dressed with twister tails is working well. Umbrella rigs with bucktails or swimshads as trailers are also favorites. There is also some spotty striped bass trolling going on along the shipping channel edges and in the Patuxent River. There has been a little bit of live-lining activity along the steep channel edge between St. George Island and Piney Point in the lower Potomac River. A few anglers are trying to chum off of Point Lookout for a mix of striped bass and bluefish with the added hope of luring a cobia into a chum slick.  Spot are spread out along both sides of the bay. Some of the spot are now getting large enough to consider as table fare. White perch are mixed in at these same locations and every tidal river and creek in the region. Fishing for speckled trout continues to be extremely good with most of the action occurring from Hoopers Island south to Tangier and Pocomoke sounds. Casting pink, white, or pearl/sparkle combinations with soft plastic swimbaits have been the best producing lures to use, as are Gulp baits. In the early morning and late evening hours, casting Zara Spooks over grass or stump fields is a fun way to catch speckled trout and a few striped bass. Cobia are steadily moving into the region and a few are being caught by chumming or sight casting with live eels or large soft plastic jigs. The Middle Grounds to the Target Ship and Point Lookout are traditional locations to look for them. Large red drum are being caught and released in the Tangier Sound area by jigging or trolling large spoons. Bluefish are becoming more common in the region and their numbers will most likely increase this month. Flounder are also making an appearance in the Tangier Sound area along channel edges. Recreational crabbing is fairly good in the middle bay region with most being able to catch close to a full bushel per outing of nice heavy crabs. Freshwater Fishing Largemouth bass are steadily moving into a summer mode of behavior as water temperatures elevate. Largemouth bass in most areas now are feeding at night in the shallow waters where grass, lily pads, and spatterdock fields provide cover for baitfish. Fish these areas during late evening or early morning hours with soft frogs, buzzbaits, floating soft plastics, and lipless crankbaits. As that sun rises in the morning sky, largemouth bass will seek cool shade under deeper water under grass mats, fallen treetops, sunken wood, or docks. Flipping grubs, weighted soft plastics, hair jigs, and crankbaits near these areas is a good choice. Northern snakeheads will be found holding in these shallow grass areas in the tidal rivers and although their activity has slowed down a bit, they will go after noisy topwater lures. They may also be found holding near sunken wood along deeper shorelines. Blue catfish are being caught on shoal areas next to channels in the Potomac River from the Wilson Bridge to the Route 301 Bridge. They are also found in the Patuxent River near Benedict. A lot of anglers young and old are enjoying bluegill sunfish using a variety of locations and methods. Taking young anglers down to the local community pond and casting out a worm under a bobber will provide a lot of fun.  Atlantic Ocean and Coastal Bays Surf anglers got a surprise this week as Spanish mackerel began making runs in the surf. Casting small heavy spoons and speed reeling is what works. Kingfish are being caught on bottom rigs baited with pieces of bloodworm. Bluefish are being caught on finger mullet and cut bait. At the inlet, bluefish are moving in and out on the tides and being caught on a variety of lures and by drifting cut bait. A few striped bass are being caught at the inlet but most miss the 28-inch minimum mark. Fishing for flounder is good in the back bay areas. Gulp baits in white or pink tend to be catching the largest flounder and of course traditional baits of squid and minnows work fine. The boats venturing outside are finding a mix of yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna. Many captains are reporting that every day is not necessarily a guarantee of limit catches, but some nice yellowfin tuna and a mix of bigeye are coming into the docks each day. YouTube catch up Don’t forget to find and comment on the Mallows Bay Snakehead and Bass video - when we get to 350 subscribers on YouTube we will be selecting a random comment from that video to win a Bass Pro Shops eGift Card.  We only need around 15 more subscribers to reach that mark. Once we get there I will be transitioning to monthly giveaways so stay tuned for that as there will be multiple ways to enter. If there is something you would like to see covered on the YouTube channel let me know an we will see what we can do about that. Magazine Catch up We are looking for bragboard photos for our August issue - you can send them to theanglerchesapeake@gmail.com and make sure to include a by-line and that you have attached a high resolution image suitable for printing.  If you send them from your phone make sure to send the largest file size possible.. Personal fishing weekly updates Joey Brian Patapsco adventure - nice 18.5 inch largemouth bass on a Ned rig.  So hot during the day.  We put in at the Southwest area park and headed north to the ponds at Bell Grove. Topwater pond fishing with the whopper plopper - explosion zone! Mallows Bay with Joey - fought long and hard on a monster flood tide in super clear water to pick up 2 fish.  One was a shorty at about 12” and scored a really nice fish at 17.5 inches.  That was a fun bite - I dropped a black/blue senko wacky worm on a log and twitched it carefully to let it drop off.  As soon as it start to drop a big side flash as the bass sucked it in and headed back under the log.  Pretty classic. BuBye FB.com/AnglerMagazineChesapeake Insta @chesapeakeangler Youtube.com/ChesapeakeAngler And of course you can read the e-magazine online at chesapeakeanglermag.com

Welcome to the Maryland Fishing Line Episode 06 - Your one-stop weekly fishing report podcast for the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland.Today is June 30, 2020This is the podcast where we talk about fishing throughout the great state of Maryland. The Maryland fishing line is a production of The Angler Magazine, Chesapeake Edition. The Chesapeake Angler can be found throughout southern Maryland, Anne Arundel County, and the Eastern Shore. If you would like to see it in your area and it’s not there let us know!Let’s take a look at what’s going on around the state.Free fishing day in Maryland comes up July 4th.This license free day allows you to enjoy everything Maryland has to offer.Chesapeake Bay surface water temperatures have jumped to the upper 70s resulting in low oxygen areas are appearing from Swan Point down to the mouth of the Potomac River. The eastern side of the bay will have unsuitable oxygen conditions for fish in waters deeper than 25 feet.With river temperatures approaching the mid-70s, striped bass still remaining in the spawning rivers to feed near channel edges and points will begin to move to cooler river mouths or main bay structure. Surface waters are about 4 degrees warmer than bottom waters. White perch have moved out to tidal creek mouths on mud, sand, or clay bottoms near structure in waters less than 25 deep deep. Adult spot continue moving towards the upper Chesapeake Bay mainstem and tributaries in areas with salinities greater than 5 ppt — currently south of the Bay Bridge. Spot will be found on oyster bars, sand, and mud bottom, feeding on benthic worms and small clams.Upper Chesapeake BayThe Conowingo Dam at first light is prime topwater action for striped bass. This action continues down the river and out along the edge of the Susquehanna Flats. As the morning hours progress, switch to soft plastic jigs and work the edges of the channels leading to the lower Susquehanna and Elk rivers.All types catfish are providing plenty of action for those fishing cut bait, clam snouts, or chicken liver in the channels and edges of the lower Susquehanna and Elk rivers. White perch can be found in the tidal creeks and rivers.Trolling along the shipping channel edges and Swan Point offers some success for striped bass. Most anglers are pulling umbrella rigs behind inline weights down deep along the 25-foot to 30-foot channel edges. White bucktails or swimshads as trailers have been popular. Spot and white perch can now be found in the mouth of the Magothy River, the shallower areas at both ends of the bridges, and in the water off Sandy Point State Park. Bottom rigs baited with pieces of bloodworm have been preferred. Middle BayLive-lining spot and white perch is popular at steep channel edges. Most are holding at about 30 feet and are also being caught by those chumming. Cownose rays are becoming more of a problem in the middle bay and chum slicks tend to attract them. A mix of channel and blue catfish are also being attracted to chum slicks and will often pick up baits lying on the bottom. Anglers using live bait or cut bait are reminded that they must use non-offset circle hooks at all times.Trolling has been a good option when fishing for striped bass. Most anglers are targeting the shipping channel edges with umbrella rigs pulled behind inline weights. Often the fish are suspended at about 30-feet along the channel edges. White tends to be the most popular color for bucktails dressed with sassy shads or twister tails. Storm-type swim shads are also working well.The shallow-water striped bass fishery in the lower sections of the tidal rivers and bay shore areas provides a fun and exciting way to fish with light tackle. Water temperatures are in the mid 70s so striped bass are feeling comfortable moving into these shallower areas in the evenings and lingering till the mid-morning hours. Topwater lures are one of the best choices when fishing over grass and submerged rocks. Crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits can be good choices in deeper waters near shoreline structure. Zara Spooks and poppers are a great choice when fishing with spinning gear, and skipping bugs are a perfect match with a weight forward floating line and a mid-weight fly rod.White perch are spread throughout the region’s tidal rivers and creeks and will stay put for most of the summer months. Fishing for them is fun and easy from docks and piers using grass shrimp or pieces of bloodworm on a simple one-hook bottom rig. A good tide is desirable and the best place to fish in deep water is right next to the pilings or bulkheads.Lower BayFishing for speckled trout has been extremely good along the Eastern Shore marshes in about 5 feet of water over grass beds. Speckled trout are also showing up on the western shore near Point Lookout and Cornfield Harbor and the mouth of the Patuxent River. White and pearl sparkle combinations of soft plastic swimbaits and MirrOlures are working well and scented Gulp baits are always a proven winner.Sight fishing and casting live eels or large, soft plastic swimbaits and jigs is a popular way to target Cobia. Chumming is an old standby but with the abundance of cownose rays being attracted to chum slicks, it can be a difficult proposition.  Spanish mackerel are becoming more common for those who are trolling at a good clip with spoons. Trolling at slower speeds with large spoons in the general area of the Target Ship north to the Little Choptank area can result in some exciting catch-and-release action with large red drum.Striped bass are mixed in with the speckled trout in many areas and provide plenty of fun fishing action for light-tackle anglers. Topwater lures are a favorite way to fish for both species during the early morning and evening hours. Jigging along channel edgeswhen they can be found suspended. Trolling is a popular option along channel edges using umbrella rigs with inline weights to get them down to where the fish are holding.Some are chummingwith a mixed take of striped bass, bluefish, and blue catfish, while others are live-lining spot with good success.Spot can now be found in the mouth of the Patuxent River, Tangier and Pocomoke sounds, and the shallower areas off Hoopers Island. Most of the spot are small, which is good for live-lining, but not enough to eat. Flounder can be found along channel edges in the Tangier and Pocomoke sounds. White perch are holding in just about all of the tidal rivers and creeks of the region and will hold there through the summer months. Abundant numbers of blue catfish can be found in the Nanticoke, Patuxent, and Potomac rivers. Fresh cut bait and clam snouts make excellent baits.Recreational crabbers are working hard to catch a good bushel of crabs this week. The best catches are coming from the lower bay region, especially on the eastern side. One can catch a full bushel of crabs per outing in the middle bay region but it just might take a little longer. Razor clams are the most popular bait since they do pull in crabs, but chicken necks can work just fine. Many are reporting that the crabs tend to be deep.FreshwaterLargemouth bass are focused on grass, spatterdock, and lily pads.. The early morning and evening hours are the best times to fish shallow grass with a variety of topwater lures. Waters are beginning to warm and as the day wears on largemouth bass will seek shade under thick grass that is growing in deeper waters. Docks, fallen treetops, and sunken wood can also provide daytime shade. Dropping weighted soft plastic or stick worms down through the grass mats is a good tactic.Northern snakeheads are holding in shallow grass in the tidal rivers, and those fishing for largemouth bass will often encounter them. Snakeheads are finishing their spawning and will be feeding more this week. They can be found in every tidal river now that flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The greatest numbers are found in the tidal Potomac, Patuxent and Nanticoke rivers, lower Dorchester County, and farther north in the Susquehanna Flats.Blue catfish have also spread to every tidal river in the Chesapeake, and in the tidal Potomac, Patuxent, and Nanticoke rivers they are the dominant catfish population. A simple bottom rig baited with fresh cut bait, clam snouts, or chicken liver works well. YouTube catch upDon’t forget to find and comment on the Mallows Bay Snakehead and Bass video - when we get to 350 subscribers on YouTube we will be selecting a random comment from that video to win a Bass Pro Shops eGift Card.If there is something you would like to see covered on the YouTube channel let me know an we will see what we can do about that.Magazine Catch upWe are already looking for bragboard photos for our August issue - you can send them to theanglerchesapeake@gmail.com and make sure to include a by-line and that you have attached a high resolution image suitable for printing.  If you send them from your phone make sure to send the largest file size possible.July magazine has arrived and distribution has begun so be on the lookout for that.

To find out more about the Wisconsin Great River Road please check out the website www.WiGRR.com to find out about Wyalusing State Park find them at https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/wyalusing/Bob: Chad Breuer is the Property Supervisor of Wyalusing State Park. Wyalusing is kind of a different name. Where does the name come from, Chad?Chad Breuer: It comes from the Native American word meaning ‘Where the old, or the Holy Man, dwells.’ I think what sets us apart is just where we’re located. We have the river, the confluence, the bluffs. And that’s why the park was formed back in 1917.Bob: [It’s] over 100 years old. What kind of changes have been made in those 100 years, Chad?Chad: Well, we’ve added camping. We’ve added more electrical sites. One hundred years ago, people were relying on rustic tent camping. Now, people like to still camp and get out, but [they also want] some of those luxuries of having, in case rain comes in, that camper, the grill or the oven, and the refrigerator to keep food cold. To be honest, my wife likes to sleep in a bed at night, so it’s those little things that a camper has that a tent doesn’t. We have sites for campers and a site for tent camping. A lot of people still tent camp. It’s very popular yet year-round; we even have people come in the winter and tent camp, so that’s pretty neat to get out and talk to those folks.Bob: Do you have showers?Chad: Yes, absolutely. We have two campgrounds. One [is] on the Wisconsin Ridge; that’s the older campground. It overlooks the bluff, and at night you can see the lights of Prairie du Chien. Then we have another campground – Homestead campground – that’s located a little more interior of the park. [It’s] a little more secluded, [and they’re] beautiful sites. [There is] a brand-new shower building, [and it’s] a beautiful shower building. We have about 109 campsites between the two campgrounds.Bob: I’m assuming since you’re on the backwaters that kayaking is probably a pretty big thing to do there as well.Chad: Absolutely. We have a canoe trail. We have a canoe trail that kind of heads south from the park, and you can head north out of the park. Our friends group, the Friends of Wyalusing, is a nonprofit group that works just to support the park. They support programs in the park, especially like our naturalist positions. They have canoes they rent every day. You can come up to our concession stand and rent the canoes from the Friends [of Wyalusing]. And that money stays right back here with the park by supporting our naturalist program by giving us the opportunity to hire someone to put on programs throughout the summer.Bob: You mentioned a canoe trail. What is a canoe trail?Chad: We’ve got signs up so people don’t … You get in the backwaters in the refuge there, and people could get lost. This way, we have signs up just marking a path, a route, for people to canoe so they don’t get lost if they’re not from the area.Bob: If somebody hasn’t been to Wyalusing before, what would be the definite ‘you’ve got to see this’ moment there?Chad: The big thing you have to see is Point Lookout. That’s why the park was identified; it’s where the confluence [of] where the Wisconsin [River] flows into the Mississippi [River]. We’ve got some great lookouts all along the park in the bluffs. If you want to come down and you want to spend some time, go to these lookouts and walk some of the trails and see the bluffs. If you’ve never seen it, it’s just spectacular. We’re 800 feet above the river, so it’s just spectacular views from up on the points.Bob: Being on the Wisconsin Great River Road has a lot of perks. What are some of the perks that you find for Wyalusing being on the Great River Road?Chad: I think anybody who’s traveling, this is definitely a destination stop. People are going to travel the Great River Road, and this is just a destination stop for people. They might not camp, but they’re going to come spend a few hours here seeing the park [and] going to the lookouts. They can look over the bluffs into Prairie du Chien, into Iowa and Marquette, [and] Pikes Peak State Park. If you’re traveling the Great River Road, this is a destination stop.Bob: Where can people go, Chad, to find out more information about the park?Chad: Definitely go online to the Wisconsin DNR [website] and type in ‘Wyalusing State Park.’ That’s a great way to start. It’s going to talk about the park and what we have to offer.Bob: The big question is, you said type in ‘Wyalusing.’ How do you spell Wyalusing?Chad: [It’s spelled] W-Y-A-L-U-S-I-N-G.Bob: Is there anything I’m missing, Chad, that I should be asking you about?Chad: On the Great River Road – correct me if I’m wrong – we’re talking about Highway 35?Bob: Yup.Chad: Then there’s a smaller property just south of Wyalusing, [and that’s] Nelson Dewey State Park. That is adjacent to historic Stonefield Village. When you do travel the Great River Road, make some time to stop at Nelson Dewey also. We have hiking trails, [but] not as many. We don’t have the boat landing, but you still have really neat lookouts down there. A lot of people go down there and they hit the lookouts, then they can go across the road and they’re at historic Stonefield Village.

While he was imprisoned at Point Lookout in Southern Maryland during the Civil War, poet, musician, and Confederate soldier Sidney Lanier soothed himself and his fellow soldiers with music played on a flute he managed to slip past the guards.

Point Lookout is a peninsula formed by the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River. Maryland's first governor claimed the point as his plot and he built his manor there in 1634. In the early 1800s, the government chose the point as a place to install a lighthouse. During the Civil War, Point Lookout became a prison for Confederate soldiers. Today, the lighthouse has been decommissioned, but still stands and the area is now Point Lookout State Park. The history and deaths that happened here have left Point Lookout and the lighthouse reputedly haunted by several spirits. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Point Lookout Lighthouse. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Kelly Helter and features the Legend of Goatman's Bridge and This Month in History features Richard Hauptmann found guilty in Lindbergh Baby kidnapping.

Let's get this out of the way: it's a short show this week, and the sound quality is not great. Rather than skip a week due to some tomfoolery and shenanigans, we decided to sack up and record another of our diner-table podcasts. It's a long round of what we've been playing where we talk about the Uncharted 2 beta, Point Lookout, the new Fallout 3 DLC, and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, and then it's on to a few letters. This is NOT episode 23, so you've still got a couple of weeks to get in those theme song entries kiddos. Slim vaginas to you and yours.

Woody Overton and Jim Chapman open up season 3 of Bloody Angola: A Podcast by Woody Overton and Jim Chapman give you a ton of insight into Louisiana State penitentiary at Angola by reading you the actual diary of the founder of the "Angolite" magazine and editor Old Wooden Ears" from the 1930's!#Louisianastatepenitentiary #AngolaPrison #Podcast #Applepodcast #spotifyTranscript of episode2023 Jim: Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another edition of Bloody-Woody: -Angola.Jim: A podcast 142 years in the making.Woody: A Complete Story of America's Bloodiest Prison. Jim: And I'm Jim Chapman.Woody: And I'm Woody Overton.Jim: First of all, Woody Overton, it's Season 3.Woody: Yes, love, right? [chuckles]Woody: I can't believe that. Thank you everyone for liking us and sharing us and helping us grow. It's been amazing. Chase Team members and now all our higher levels of Patreon.Jim: Warden.Woody: Warden and C.E.R.T. Team. Thank you so much. We appreciate you. But yeah, Season 3, it's amazing. We've sold out two live shows now. Y'all's Response has been phenomenal. We appreciate you. You're about to start getting Bloody Angola three days a week.Jim: And as is our tradition, Woody Overton, we always start with a classic story from Angola.Woody: This is a classic story. Not only about the person it's about, but we are going to bring it to you from what should be a story in its own.Jim: Yes.Woody: The Angolite.Jim: The start of the Angolite, which for those of you that are not familiar, that's a magazine that is released by the prison for inmates to read.Woody: Not only inmates. I had a subscription to it back in 1992 or 1993 and they used to mail it to my house.Jim: All we're doing is telling people how old we are. Woody: [chuckles] Okay, sure. Yeah.Jim: [crosstalk] -Pony Express back then. [laughs]Woody: Yeah, right. That was definitely snail mail. It always fascinates the shit out of me what the criminal mind does. This is after I worked in the prison system too. But it's a phenomenal award-winning magazine.Jim: It really is. The guy who started that magazine is who we're going to really be talking about today. The interesting deal with this gentleman is that he was the original editor and the guy who started the Angolite. But not only did he do that, he also, in addition, kept probably one of the best diaries of Angola. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go ahead and say the best diary of Angola you would ever come across. And he had a nickname. I'm going to tell you about that nickname first. They called him Old Wooden Ears.Woody: Wooden Ears.Jim: The reason they called this gentleman that is he was beat by a correctional officer at some point during his early years in Angola and actually went deaf in one ear. So, he was known by the prisoners as Old Wooden Ears. We're going to tell you about the diaries of William Sadler, and we're going to name this episode Old Wooden Ears.Woody: Wooden Ears.Jim: The interesting thing with this episode is that we're going to actually read you the diary because we can't do this justice without actually reading you the entry. We're just going to take these back and forth. Trust me, this is interesting, y'all. This is the real diary.Woody: Think about it. You don't have a whole lot to do in prison. At least this guy was keeping himself busy by keeping a diary.Jim: And didn't hold back.Woody: Right. He told the truth according to him.Jim: Mm-hmm. That's right. We're going to start with January 1st, 1936. This was New Year's Day on Angola, and it was celebrated by all hands out in the field with the exception of Camp E, most of whom are assigned to the refinery. Sugarcane cutting going on full blast with no Sundays or holidays off until grinding ends, which will be about the middle of the month. Red Hats out in the cane shed.Woody: Red Hats.Jim: If you listen to our Red Hats episode, you'll find out a little bit more about them. But he'salready mentioning the Red Hat.Woody: Yeah. On January 3rd, 1936, he writes, "There was hail on the Gola this day. The refinery has been making 100% white sugar and shipping it to the brokers in Chicago under the Pelican Refinery, Baton Rouge label, so consumers wouldn't get onto the fact that it was made by convict labor. The last month, some of those dudes loading freight cars at Camp B siphoned off sugar out of several sacks and filled holes with striped convict clothes. When the sacks hit Chicago in the retail market and a howl went up, this was heard way down here. The result? About 16 men caught the bat, anywhere from 30 to 45 lashes each. But those who were beaten weren't the guilty ones, strange to say. It seems their clothing had been stolen and shoved into the sacks. And since the dudes bore their laundry numbers, it made them automatically guilty. The actual perpetrators of the switch got off scot-free, which is often the case on this Angola."Jim: How about that?Woody: Right. Y'all, go back and listen to some of our other episodes. The bat was basically a big leather strap. That's what they're referring to. Now, that's pretty smart. Let me tell youthis real quick. When I was in basic training in the army, they had a guy on a cot across from me that snored every night, and I wouldn't get any sleep anyway, I've been on a light sleeper. So, before the lights went out, you had to line your shoes underneath the bunk, I stole one of his boots. When the lights went out, he started snoring, I reared back and I threw that boot, I hit him in his head as hard as I could. He jumped up and he was like, "You motherfuckers. I'm going to get you. I got your boot. When I turn on the lights in the morning, I'm going to find out who it is." But guess what? It was his. These prisoners were smart like that. They stole somebody else's clothes and other inmates' clothes and numbers and plugged the holes. They were hoping to get the uprising, which they got. But unfortunately, for the victims that they stole from, well, they got the bat.Jim: They got the bat. 30 to 45 lashes, y'all. You're starting to see the brutality with Angola and why they called it Bloody Angola. Another thing that I found interesting about that entry was the fact that they would switch the labels. The reason they would do that, back in the 30s, people weren't down with convict labor like that.Woody: They still do it. When I worked at DCI, they had the crawfish plant, and they ran 24 hours a day. They brought in two 18-wheeler loads of crawfish a day and they boiled them. The inmates had to peel 16 pounds of tail meat and they got to weigh it in their 12-hour shift. If they didn't peel the 16 pounds, they went to the hole. But guess what? They packaged it under Louisiana Crawfish Company and sold it. That's the shit you buy in the grocery store when you buy Louisiana Crawfish-- It used to be when you buy Louisiana Crawfish tails.Jim: There it goes. The next time you buy, you think about that.Woody: [crosstalk] -crawfish season, they made them cut onions and they sold the cut-uponions like the Holy Trinity. But they damn sure didn't say it was done by prisoners.Jim: That's right. We continue on. And you're seeing that brutality take place. "January 5th, 1936. Narrowly missed the bat myself this day. Captain JH Row-" that's a good cager name, "-of Camp A missed credit for a carload of cane which had been sent to the mill. There's always been more confusion out in the yard when the cane cars are brought in by railroad crews at night. In this case, the weight ticket evidently became lost, not by fault, but close shave nevertheless."Woody: Wow, close shave-- [crosstalk] Jim: Yeah. And he narrowly missed that bat.Woody: I can't imagine there were a lot of lights and shit on the trains, they were rolling. I think about sugarcane, y'all, that's what he's talking about. Look, there's a certain time you got to cut it and get it out and get it to the mill to get it pressed. I know they were working sun up to sun down.Jim: Oh, yeah. And sugarcane was a huge commodity. Woody: Still is.Jim: It still is, yes.Woody: All right, y'all. So, the next one, his journal entry is on January 9th, 1936. He says, "It was cold and pouring down rain today. No slickers, no boots, no gloves. All camps that work in the fields, negro women cutting cane from on headland, white men from Camp G working toward them. John Henry on the turn row. Dinner served out in the open. Rain so hard, the whippoorwill peas bounce off your plate faster than you can spoon down. Menutoday, chicken, chopped grits, stove pipe gravy, soybean bread, and coffee made from horse beans for breakfast."Jim: I'm hungry already. [laughs] Woody: Right? I can't imagine. Jim: Out in the rain, y'all.Woody: Hey, it's raining so hard, you try to eat your shit before it gets any soggier, but the fat drops are hitting your plate so hard that your peas are bouncing off the plate? That's crazy. Hey, they didn't give a shit. They were getting that sugar cut.Jim: That's right. "14th January, 1936. The whistle blew today for the end of the 1935-36 grinding season. Tonnage figures showed one of the biggest years in Angola history, but no sugar on the table. They found over nine tons which had been hidden in various places around the refinery for use during the coming year by the refinery crew. The hideouts were tipped off by the Black Cat, who as a convict had helped plan it. Two weeks ago, he was paroled to the state for work in the refinery, so his first duty was to put the finger on the hidden sugar."Woody: Wow. Gave it up. Jim: Gave it up.Woody: You know that went on, man. Sugar is a commodity. Even the free people that worked in the mill, I guarantee the inmates kept some too make that homemade brew. All right, y'all, so we're going to January 20, 1936, again from Wooden Ears' diary. He says, "Camps all at work in the field hoeing stubbles. Rainy and wet today. Wet clothes worn into the camp dormitories, which are heated only by a wood-burning stove made out of a discarded 50-gallon oil drum. Clothes are wet when you put them on next morning. This kind of work cut in the weather bring a siege of pneumonia in the free world. The old saying on the Gola is, "You can't kill a convey that easy.'"Jim: You can't. [laughs]Woody: First of all, when we talk about the stubble, after you cut the sugarcane, you got basically the stumps of the roots, and they had to clear that so they could plant the next year's crop.Jim: Amazing.Woody: And wet ass clothes. I guess they slept naked.Jim: Yeah.Woody: I wonder if he got the-- I guess the big bull near the door and got to put his clothes closest to the wood. You know what I'm saying?Jim: Yeah. Shot caller. Woody: Yeah. The shot caller.Jim: "February 1st, 1936. Those alert characters at Camp B have rigged up a new wrinkle to beat the daily shakedown at the gate."Woody: Uh-oh.Jim: Uh-oh. "Where every bit of garden produce was confiscated. It often became a problem to smuggle a contraband article into the yard and into the dining room. So, the dudes trained one of the various mongrel dogs to fetch and carry. Now, the garlic and even pokes of sugar outside the fence. The pooch scrambles underneath the wire and the guards' noses and brings it into the plant." [chuckles]Woody: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I'm going to figure out how to get everyone. But on my birthday on February 5th, 1936, Wooden Ears writes, "it was cold and raw this morning. Camp G is working over on Monkey Island, getting in the spinach and radish crops off the overflow land before the rise of Mississippi gets them. It is said the long line must wade the bayou waist deep, going to and coming from the camp. Then, working the water over a foot deep to harvest the crop. And this in winter."Jim: Crazy.Woody: It's crazy. Y'all know Monkey Island is located where Louisiana and Mississippi meet at the rear of the prison and was a notoriously miserable place to work. An area border in Mississippi river, it remained flooded and marshy most of the year and was infested with mosquitoes and snakes.Jim: Yeah, and that's a big problem with Angola that we're going to talk about in the future is the flooding. They've had to evacuate prisoners from Angola many times because the Mississippi river water was up. We're going to move on to February 8th, 1936. "Oscar Loki, the long line water boy, finished up this eight years day for day yesterday. A Yankee lad, he came out on Angola when he was 18. He made and sold out in the field and from his profits over the eight years saved a total of $74."Woody: Whoa.Jim: Hey, that's probably a lot of money to an inmate. "His best friend, Frenchie LeBlanc, was the last to tell him goodbye yesterday at the receiving center where he was dressed out. Oscar showed officials his role of hard-earned money, flipped off the rubber band under which was a dollar bill, and found the rest of the role was merely coffee coupons." Basically, this officer took all the money. "No one knows whether LeBlanc stole the money, but Loki said LeBlanc was the only one who knew where he kept it hidden." correction, LeBlanc, his friend, stole the money, put coffee coupons in there with a dollar on top of.Woody: Thought he's rolling out with $74-- [crosstalk] Jim: [laughs] But he's got plenty of free coffee, apparently.Woody: Crazy. "On February 9th, 1936, Bill Brazil, the guard at the finery, died today. He had only a few months to go to through a life sentence. A piece of metal, lead, the size of a fist had fallen from one of the beams and it struck Brazil square on the top of his head. Two characters who were working painting the steel structure three stories above Brazil were questioned to no avail. It is not clear how the lead, which had no business in the refinery anyway, happened to fall on Brazil like a bomb."Y'all, Angola death records listed no one named Brazil dying in 1930s, but a William B. Brazil, inmate number 20030, is listed as dying at Camp B where the sugar refinery was located on April 20th, 1935. His cause of death was listed as broken neck caused by fall from being in the top of refinery. Records have also shown that suspicious deaths were oftenlisted as accidents. He is buried at the original Point Lookout Road where they bury inmates. That's crazy.Jim: Yeah, it really is.Woody: You don't want to say it's an inmate-on-inmate murder. The pen is mightier than thesword, right?Jim: That's right.Woody: Whatever. He was there, I believe old Wooden Ears saw the lead.Jim: Y'all, Old Wooden Ears tells the truth. This is his personal diary. He didn't know that anyone was ever going to see this.Woody: He didn't know y'all were going to be listening to that.Jim: Guaranteed he didn't know that, Woody Overton.Woody: Almost 100 years later.Jim: Yeah, so find that interesting too, because we talked about in old episodes how records back in those days were altered or not kept.Woody: I even wonder, you've mentioned broken backs and shit. I'm like, "Oh, yeah. You break your back," you're not jumping out of a window.Jim: Yeah, get that bat.Woody: That's right.Jim: "February 12th, 1936. Sweet potato stew for dinner and supper these days. Usually, there's a piece of meat somewhere in the pan, but you have to be mighty quick with your fingers to find it. Thank goodness they have stopped making bread with soybean flour, but they are still serving boiled soybeans on the table." Now, mills were served to prisoners in those days with typically the cheapest ingredients you could possibly find in order to save money. When the food items of any real quality appeared, it was often skimmed or outright stolen from prisoners or employees looking to make a little money.Woody: Again, the soybeans shit is shit they grew. So, we're going to February 15th, 1936. "Vernon Hancock is a saddler, a wiser man at Camp E today. Vernon, who works in the Ice House, was a big shot gambler. He owned all the poker tables. So, two weisenheimers sent out and brought two decks of reader cards, marked, of course. They finagled Vernon into buying into the decks at a bargain price, seals unbroken. Then proceeded to sit into Vernon's game. This all began three weeks ago. Today, Vernon is broke and the pair has all his dough. The two friends who tipped the switch off to Vernon after it happened, he replied, 'Well, them cards wasn't marked. I broke the seals on the new decks myself.' Barely a fool and his money."Jim: [laughs] I mean, they're running a casino in Angola.Woody: Right. Gambling is a huge thing in prison, but it says no-- the entries, along with the entry in the opposite column are just more glaring examples of how good fortune, whether in saving for the future or perceived luck at the gambling table, often created problems for everyone involved.Jim: No doubt about it. Old Wooden Ears going to tell the truth, like we said. Woody: He got no reason to lie. He's writing for himself, not anybody else.Jim: That's right. Now, February 18th, 1936. "Well, these jailhouse swindles never cease. Mitchell Lafleur-", if you notice, a lot of these names are Cajun names, y'all, "-no-read-and-write cell room guard at Camp E also has been taken to the cleaners, financially speaking. Seems a dude had a catalog with some pictures. He induced Mitchell to pick out a dame who claimed to have $50,000 and was looking for a husband. The dude wrote in the letter for Mitchell. Of course, when the replies came, the dude read them to the guard. The love interests were hot. Finally, the dame said she would come see Mitchell and marry him. Only her $50,000 was tied up in a legal snarl. And as soon as they were married, she would sign over half to him. But right now, she said would Mitchell sent her $100 for the train fare. This is crazy. "He did." [chuckles] Now, this is a guard, y'all. He gave it to the dude to send for him, and that's the last he's heard or ever will hear. Even back in 1936, you had these hustlers, man, and they were, "Send me $100." Nowadays it's through email, back then, it was through a regular mail.Woody: The calls from Jamaica, saying, "Oh, you won a million dollars. Send us $10,000 for legal fees."Jim: Went on in 1936.Woody: It only takes 1 out of 100 if you do it. If you're successful 1 out of 100, then you'resuccessful. Jim: Yeah.Woody: All right. On February 21st, 1936, Wooden Ears writes, "Getting so they put the bat in action three times a day nowadays. During breakfast, after dinner, and after supper. Foreman calls out the unlucky ones and tells the captain they are lazy or insubordinate, and the poor devils usually catch from 20 to 30 lashes apiece. One yesterday had his third beating in 10 days. How long, O Lord?" I mean, he's just--[crosstalk]Jim: Third beating in 10 days.Woody: Probably, the correctional officers were-- to the inmates who are pushing the lines, what they call them the inmate guards, were like, "Hey, we're going to make an example out of somebody." Now, they're doing it three times a day. It helps keep the other people in line.Jim: I wonder if it was the same guard that lost that $100, Woody Overton, [chuckles] taking it out on people. February 26th, 1936. "Little Doc Goodman at Camp E was strung up naked by his wrist to a beam in the ceilings in the camp lobby today and whipped with at least 50 lashes. Those who had listened said they lost count. Doc has been accused of laziness and insubordination many times in the past. His body is a mass of scar tissue from burns suffered outside. So, he seems to be immune to ordinary punishment. So, the idea of stringing him up naked was devised. He's supposed to hang there 72 hours without food or water."Woody: Wow. Crazy.Jim: Y'all, wrap your mind around that. When we tell you Bloody Angola back in the day wasn't no joke, it wasn't a joke. Now, the lengths that the prison or guard would go through to punish people apparently knew no bounds. Despite the dangers of whipping someone asmuch as they whipped Goodman, hanging him by his wrist for 72 hours was infinitely more dangerous. Such punishments, with a body position aching to crucifixion, could easily cause suffocation by the pressure exerted on the lungs and the diaphragm by three days of such torture.Woody: Not only that, three days, that's the maximum you can go without the water, right? Jim: We can never confirm or deny that that existed, but Old Wooden Ears says it did.Woody: Yeah. [crosstalk] -again, it's all, I would say, to control the population. This guy being a repeat offender, insubordination, etc., like, "We'll show you." But anyway, let's go to February 28th, 1936. Wooden Ears writes, "Safe burglars intent on plying their trade even on Angola. Last night, burrowed through the tag plant wall into the general warehouse and broke into the safe there. They say over $1,000 is missing. Or is this a red herring to cover a cash shortage? How could those guys get out of the cell room building last night to do their burglarizing?"Jim: That's freaking crazy. [laughs]Woody: Well, he had a good point.Jim: He had a good point [crosstalk] guard.Woody: [crosstalk] -missing, and you've got to blame it on a convict, right? Jim: Yeah. $1,000. And they tried to say they burglarize-- [crosstalk] Woody: [crosstalk] -accused of $1,000 in '36, that's like $100,000 now.Jim: Okay, so we move on to the next. March 1st, 1936. "Heard today Angola was going to have a doctor. Not like the one present joker who comes up from Baton Rouge once a week, but a full-time medical man. Maybe now they will start examining and classifying fresh fish so they won't be dying out in the fields of such things as exposure and exhaustion. Is this progress?" That's a good point that Old Wooden Ears brings up, Woody. That is when you're new to Angola, they put you out in the fields and bodies have to acclimate. So, these fresh fish, as he calls them, they go out in that field and they're not used to the sun 12-15 hours a day.Woody: The episode we did with Kelly Jennings talked to one guy whose first job he ever had in his entire.Jim: His entire life. Woody: Yeah. Jim: That's crazy.Woody: Them bringing a doctor in wasn't because they gave a damn about the convicts. They just wanted to keep them alive. They cared about keeping them alive so they can keep them working.Jim: That's right.Woody: All right, let's go to March 3rd, 1936. He writes, "Pursuant to an edict from the pen of the warden, there are neither dogs nor cats on Angola today. His letter to all captains said,'Dogs and cats are taking the place. I want them gotten rid of.' So, there was a general roundup and many of pet went to the river via croaker sack. They tipped me off that if farm superintendent, GAG, ever comes in to weigh on my scales, to be sure to tell him 20 to 30 pounds less than its actual weight. He's very myopic. When I wanted to know why, they said, If you don't, he'll beat the hell out of you with his stick."' Vanity. All these are interesting. Shit, this guy was very articulate for a convict in 1936.Jim: April 27th, 1936. "The count at Camp E came up one man short last night." Woody: Uh-oh. [crosstalk]Jim: "Dewey Brian, ice plant worker, was missing. He was found in the cold storage room dead drunk. The discovery touched off a smelling of breaths of having--"[laughter]Jim: This is so crazy. "The discovery touched off a smelling of breaths of having taken a covet nip of the local joy juice and everyone was pulled out and whipped." So, basically, if they had alcohol on their breath, they pulled them out and whipped them with the bat. "Brian was given 85 lashes for being dead drunk. Felt no pain." [laughs] "This morning, they had to cut him loose from his mattress where the blood on his back had dried and stuck into it. He is not the first, nor will he be the last."Woody: Wow. Crazy. Jim: I mean, wow, y'all.Woody: Yeah. [unintelligible 00:28:54] know some bad shit, but it ain't worth 80 licks, I can tell you that.Jim: Stuck to the mattress.Woody: Yeah, that's going to suck. And your whole back with scab. All right, on April 28th, 1936, he writes, "Despite a workday, which now begins at 05:15 AM and ends at 6:30 at night, the menu remains the same. For breakfast, grits, gravy and bread."Jim: "29th April 1936, Gerald Red Kramer, who was shot four times by a convict guard in the okra patch near E, got a visit from his mother today." [crosstalk] "Kramer's bed is his coffin because he is expected to die. His mother talked to him across the coffin." And there's a note underneath, it says, "Camps where a prisoner died often pooled money to purchase materials for his coffin. Generally, the camp store kicked in also."Woody: It's crazy. April 30th, 1936. "Pollywog Jones- Jim: Oh.Woody: -who was shot in the arm and leg in the okra patch at the same time as Gerald Kramer has gone to work. The foreman drove him out of the Red Hat cells this morning with a stick."[laughter]Woody: He [unintelligible [00:30:18] beat him on.Jim: Yeah, Pollywog going to learn his lesson eventually.Woody: Pollywog got the stick.Jim: I love this. "May 1st, 1936. A buyer of potatoes complained today his tubers were arriving skinned up. He was taken into the field where a long line of negroes were harvesting potatoes on their hands and knees. The buyer inspected box after box and the negro who had been skinning his potatoes was whipped. Several offenders caught the bat, they say."Woody: Crazy.Jim: Y'all, this is life back then in '36 in Angola.Woody: Day in and day out. And he goes to May 2nd, 1936, "John Francis Carney died last week in the Camp E hospital. He had complained for weeks of stomach ulcers. Pleaded for milk since he could not digest his regular fare. Dr. Gwynn, the new LSP physician, had this to say about Carney in his report to the warden. 'I find nothing wrong with this man. He is faking and fully able to do fieldwork.' The autopsy showed the cause of Carney's death, stomach ulcers and peritonitis." That's crazy. There's a note underneath says, "Angola death records listed James Francis Carney's death as August 22, 1938. The official cause recorded was peptic ulcer, chronic malignant degradation, carcinoma stomach, etc. LSP records indicate he was buried at the prison. So, he resides at one of the graves with the illegible markers or perhaps in the communal grave where the remains from the various cemeteries located near defuncts camps were consolidated." Crazy.Jim: "May 3rd, 1936. The orders gone out to all foreman in the field that they must carry a fever thermometer. When an inmate gets overheated, the foreman is supposed to take his temperature and give him a blow in the shade--" [laughs] "But most of these foremen can neither read or write. How will they take a temperature and read a thermometer?" That's a good point, Old Wooden Ears.Woody: [unintelligible [00:32:35] what a blow in the shade means.Jim: Yeah.Woody: I'm assuming, y'all, that it meant a rest.Jim: I assume as well. But he had some interesting [unintelligible 00:32:45] for that one.Woody: May 4th, 1936, he writes, "Skinned-up potatoes brought an application of the bat to harvesters at Camp C today. 15 were given from 20 to 25 lashes each. 'Can't harvest a crop without leather,' the general manager says." I guess he means, you can't push the line without a beating.Jim: That's right. "May 5th, 1936. The new issue of coffee from the warehouse today is half horse beans, parched and half peaberry." But that's good because it has been all horse beans before. There's a letter underneath that says, "Creative efforts were constantly made to enhance the poor quality of coffee available to the inmates. Any manner of items such as chicory or walnuts would be added to create a more palatable brew. But it rarely worked."Woody: Shit. For sure, they thought it was a big thing in prison. All right. We go into May 6th, 1936, he writes, "Sundays will be worked until the potato crop is harvested according to the order issued to all camps today."Jim: Now, that's the Lord's Day, Woody Overton.Woody: Right. The Lord's Day, but that's also-Jim: Workday.Woody: They didn't want the potatoes rotting in the ground. Then on the next day, on May 7th, 1936, he writes, "Milton Good, New Orleans sex fiend, got a dollar watch from the free world, thinking to make suction with the foreman. He gave it to the man today so he could tell knocking-off time. The man beat him over the head with the watch and chain, breaking the watch because he can't tell time."[laughter]Jim: That is so great. Woody: [crosstalk]Jim: I mean, ruined a perfectly good watch. Now, "May 8th, 1936. George Buckley was awarded the line pusher to job today for his diligence in keeping the man informed on who was leaving potatoes on his row unpicked." So, he's a rat, basically, and got him a job based on telling on his boys. And then May 9th, he continues, and he says, "Mosquitoes in the cell room are making the night a veritable hell at Camp E. No screens on the windows. Oil lamps after 8:30 at night. Shower bath is a pipe 6 feet long with holes punched in it."Woody: Wow.Jim: Yeah. That's just a good look into their everyday life.Woody: Mosquitoes on Angola are more like sabretooth rock breakers [crosstalk] fuckers down there on the river. On May 10th, the next day, 1936, he writes, "Shipments of potatoes to date total 253 carloads. All have gone to buyers in Chicago. Coals are being served on the lines tables at camps. It is said the tomato harvest will start about two weeks earlier this year."Jim: That was obviously a big deal for them were-- crops. That was their life--[crosstalk] Woody: [crosstalk] -everything going in Chicago. There's no gangsters in Chicago, right?Jim: [chuckles] Nah. That's it. "May 11th, 1936. I have been transferred to Camp B for the duration of the shipping season so that my job as a clerk for the packing shed will be handier. At B are about 150 teenagers who all should be either in school or at home with their mothers." Then, he continues on the 12th of May, he says, "Called camp B today over the phone and asked him for two refrigerator cars to be sent via the prison railroad. Henry von Schumer, who answered the phone, told me a fresh fish had grabbed the man's hickory stick and broken after the man struck him with it. The poor devil didn't know he had a session with the back coming when he got back to the camp. But it was poetic justice and I said, 'I'd have given $10 to see the melee.' Carried to Camp E this night where Henry, the butcher boy of New Orleans, and I painted signs until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning for Governor Elect Leche's Inaugural Ball which is to be held May 14th in Baton Rouge."Woody: Wow. That's just crazy unreal.Jim: And you can see, they used them for all kinds of things.Woody: First, they hit them with the stick, like FU, took a stick from them and broke it. And now he's going to get away with it. That's the entertainment other than me saying you that shit was coming.Jim: Oh, yeah.Woody: And then writing signs for the governor? That's not illegal. Jim: [laughs]Woody: He writes the next day, May 13th, 1936, "After 3 hours sleep, I awoke with the rest of the camp. Was taken into custody to the camp kitchen where Old Tangle Eye, the captain, was waiting for me. He asked if I had ever been whipped yet. When I told him I hadn't, he told me to remove my clothes, for I was about to catch a dose of red heffer for wisecracking over the phone the day before. The captain then called in four men to hold my arms and legs, spreadeagling me so as I couldn't move. The first blow was liquid fire. It was as though I had been seared with a white, heated iron poker. I yelled and begged for mercy because if I hadn't, he would have beaten me until he could no longer wield the bat. Those trying to eat breakfast, as this was going on, told me later I caught 35 lashes. My back and up and down my thighs are all bloody where the skin has broken. I can't lie down. May God curse me if I ever forget this day, May the 13th." Note: Old Tangle Eye was Captain J. L. Carmichael, one of the more prolific applicators of flogging."Jim: Holy crap.Woody: [crosstalk] -with his first bat.Jim: Yeah. 35 lashes.Woody: You get lashed like that, I imagine you shit yourself, you piss yourself, if you don't throw up, everything from the pain. Can you imagine?Jim: They make you strip. They have you take it all off. Woody: They don't want to rip up prison clothes.Jim: Yeah, that's a good point.Woody: [crosstalk] -state property.[laughter]Jim: It is indeed. "May 14th, 1936. Back at work at the packing shed today despite my sore back, which keeps me from sleeping. A grapevine kike today tells me that Henry von Schumer received 25 lashes for telling me the incident of the stick and the man over the phone." They beat him just for talking about it. "The charge was for broadcasting camp business over the phone."Woody: What?Jim: Dang. I don't remember seeing that in the rulebook.[laughter]Woody: There are probably not the operators there anymore listening either, right?Jim: Yeah.Woody: May 15th, 1936. He writes, "Old timers at work at the packing shed after looking at my back, tell me I got only a dusting. Where whippings are concerned, 35, it is said, is light. God Almighty, what is heavy?"Jim: [laughs] This is nuts.Woody: Next day, May 16th, 1936, he writes, "The captain of Camp B told me today he needs a good office man. I said, 'I was the best.' He said I'd get better food and private sleeping quarters if I took the job at his camp. But he added a sticker. He said, 'I want you to go over in the yard and find out what the men are plotting and tell me.' I said, 'Captain, any man who tells you about someone else will tell someone else about you.' I didn't get the job."[laughter]Woody: Surprising he didn't get another bat.Jim: I'm telling you. Old Wooden Ears, turning down the job. Woody: Turning down the job.Jim: "May 17th, 1936. My back and thighs are blue, black and still swollen. Well-wishers have given salve to keep my clothes from sticking to me. May the good Lord let me meet the man who beat me somewhere in the free world."Woody: Yeah, right.Jim: Look, he's praying for vengeance on that one.Woody: He's still in the pain.Jim: And all joking aside, y'all, I mean, beating them so bad that the clothes were sticking--[crosstalk]Woody: Yeah. Your body can never fully heal because it's trying to scab over, your clothes are sticking to you, you have to rip that off and it makes it fresh every day.Jim: [sighs] Jesus.Woody: Crazy. May 17th, 1936, he writes, "Called back to the warehouse at Camp E today to check the LSP cattle inventory. This is a yearly affair. At the slaughter pins where the count was made, the tally came up 245 heads short. The cattle foreman, a free man, explained, 'The rest of them steers is up in the hills. Can't get them today.' They say the shorts has been stolen and sold to farmers over the Mississippi line." Now, you know this shit won't--[crosstalk]Jim: Likely story.Woody: I heard stories in 1990s about one calf went to the state, one calf dropped, went somewhere else. I'm not saying any names, I'm going to get [Jim laughs] [crosstalk] about it. I bet you, 235 heads? In the Tunica Hills? [unintelligible [00:42:35] -cows ain't in the Tunica Hills.Jim: Nope. They're in somebody's belly. Woody: Right.Jim: May 18th, 1936, "Preacher Doc Careway of Shreveport, a recent arrival, has laid his bible down today in the long line at Camp B. He raised his arms to the skies and discovered his belief in divinity. Said Doc, 'There can't be a god who would allow a place like Angola to exist.'"Woody: May 19th, 1936, he writes, "The potato harvest is over for this year. More than 300 cars have been shipped at an average price of $286 per car. No account has been made of the cost in blood from Angola's 300 slaves, however. I have been transferred back to Camp E to work in the general warehouse this date." There you go. The next day, he writes on May 20th, he says, "Machinery at the Pelican Cannery here is being readied for the tomato harvest. The plant will be under the supervision of Captain JNW who is head man at the woman's camp. The canned products will be labeled Pelican Cannery, Baton Rouge, and will be sold in the open market, it is said." That's crazy. In the note, it says that, "Captain JNW referred to was captain J. N. Willis. In March 1940, the cannery was the subject of controversy following complaints about the labeling and pricing of the canned goods process there. The cannery was later destroyed by fire in October 1940."Jim: "May 21st, 1936. My back is slowly healing from the beating I received last week-" Man, he started-- [crosstalk] I'm telling you, "-will leave only faint scars, I am told. But the mental scars will never heal. Today, Ray Carroll, Camp E office clerk, told me the record showed only 16 lashes. If Captain Tangle Eye had gotten his head all over the 16 he put on me, it would have killed him." We got to look up Tangle Eye.Woody: I bet there's stories on him, yeah.Jim: "May 26th, 1936. The women are to be worked alongside the Camp E long line in the cannery next week according to informed sources. The LSP policy on tomatoes is to eat what can't be canned, and can all you can't eat."Woody: Informed sources. I love that. This is how he's writing, a convict in 1936. May the 23rd, 1936, writes, "Jack Dorset and Tom Abbottsford, the former having enacted for over a year as physician here and who was responsible for many an ill man being placed in the fields were brought back from furlough violations. Both have been nabbed while passing bad checks in New Orleans and each blame the other. They were soundly whipped and later engaged in an old-fashioned bareknuckle fight. Each continued to blame the other for their arrests. It's laughable because each was only too eager to run the water on the other. Where is that honor among thieves business you hear about? Both also were busted to the field detail."[chuckles]Jim: May 24th, 1936, "Artie "Gold Brick" Joiner-" man, they got some great nicknames, "-who slept adjoining me for 11 months and who shared my tobacco and coffee all during that time was last week turned out convict guard. Today, I inadvertently passed his guard post. He racked down on me with his double-barreled flat back and was all fixed to blow my head off. Our friendship, it seems, has now ended." [laughs]Woody: Oh, my God. Jim: I love that one.Woody: He's talking about convict guards. That's what they did to keep the cost down of securing the prison. Think that, his old--[crosstalk]Jim: Cellmate for a year.Woody: His own bunkie for a year almost, and they gave him a shotgun and he almost blewhis head off.Jim: That's cold blooded of Old Gold Brick to do that.Woody: Old Gold Brick'll have to eat some soggy potatoes or whatever.Jim: I'm telling you. "May 25th, 1936. The warden put on a new sign at the Peckerwood Hill graveyard today." What a great name. "It straddles the entrance way and is a foot high in letters of old English font. It says, 'Through the sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.' But since the sign facing the roadway, the convicts buried behind it can't read it, whose sign does it refer to?" It says underneath, "Note: Peckerwood Hill was a nickname for Point Lookout, the prison cemetery. The first recorded reference to Point Lookout was in 1935 for Jesse Anderson, who was buried on Row 2, Grave 11. His death was caused by cerebral hemorrhage and syphilis."Woody: Oh, shit. We're definitely going to do an episode on Point Lookout. Jim: I can't believe they called it Peckerwood Hill. [laughs]Woody: I'm not sure of this, but I'm pretty sure that they didn't bury blacks and whites together. Maybe they called it Peckerwoods for that, that being a derogatory term for whites. All right. May 26, 1936, writes, "There were several fallouts in the Camp B long line out in the field. Heat stroke. Foreman is supposed to let them blow in the shade [Jim chuckles] if they're [chuckles] overheated. The water boy carries the fever thermometer, but the bulb is broken off the end." It says, "Note: Comments about the lack of attention given to overheated inmates were common, as supervisors seemed to feel that overheating was an excuse for inmates to rest. Despite their excuses, in 1936, at least five inmates died of heat-related causes."Jim: Wow.Woody: Crazy.Jim: Broke the [unintelligible 00:49:08].Woody: Give them that blow in the shade there, boys. Jim: Yeah, give them a blow in a shade.Woody: I want to get me a blow in the shade-- [laughter]Jim: "May 27th, 1936. George Basil Weisenheimer, a lifer, was instructed this morning to sweep off the cannery steps and porch. He did. He also swept everything in the yard and into the porch. When asked who told him to give the yard a sweep, he said, 'God told me to.' They put 30 lashes on him. He was only recently released from an insane asylum and is definitely not right."Woody: Nice. [chuckles]Jim: "May 28th, 1936. Tomatoes are on the table, stewed in water. No seasoning. Meat ration for Camp E's 375 men is 135 pounds of forequarter beef per week." Per week.Woody: Probably, one of those cows from up in the hill.Jim: Yeah. "By the time the cooks and their friends get through with it, the long line gets achunk about as big as a thumb in the stew once weekly, if they're lucky."Woody: Wow. Crazy. Yeah. The inmate guards were probably having t-bones. All right. May 19th, 1936, he writes, "They say the deducts are beginning to fly on Angola. Each employee from Captain down to Foreman must kick in from 10% to 25% of his monthly paycheck. It's either that or quit. They all pay off at the Camp E general warehouse to Nelson Beauregard, the Superintendent. The cash goes in the Governor Leche's campaign kitty, I'm told. No one knows for sure." It says, "Note: It was not unusual for politicians to apply suggestive pressure on employees and even inmates who were often conscripted as evidenced by [unintelligible 00:50:57] until 5/12/36.Jim: "May 30th, 1936. Today, up in Yankeeland, it is Decoration Day and a holiday, but it is just another workday here on the field. By 4:30, we're in for supper, and at 7:15, to bed. And early to rise sure as hell don't make anyone on the Gola half healthy, wealthy, or wise." On the Gola. "May 31st, 1936. Today I saw the corpse of five babies in the doctor's office at Camp E General Hospital. They are preserved in bell jars and alcohol. The talk is they were born to women at Camp D. No one knows for sure."Woody: Wow.Jim: That's crazy. And there's a note underneath. "Rumors persist to this day about children born to women at Camp D. Few records are available. Yet according to a 1951 article in The Times-Picayune, a child was born to a newly incarcerated woman in February of that year."Woody: I bet you some were born after they were incarcerated, the guards having a poke or whoever, right?Jim: Yeah.Woody: Remember in the first episode, it wasn't a crime for the women to be raped in prison. And if they had the baby-- now, this is 1936, a long time after slavery. If they had the baby while they were locked up, it became property of the state as a slave.Jim: That's right. Woody: Fucking crazy.Jim: Y'all, we hope you enjoyed that. That's just a little taste of his diary. What they did was they produced this in the Angolite last year and they had several issues they put out. We just read from a couple of those issues. But I'll tell you what, I enjoyed this episode.Woody: I love the history, I love the insight. This dude is writing this daily, almost daily, the shit he saw, his perspective.Jim: Yeah. I can only imagine-Woody: [crosstalk] -Angola.Jim: -years and years of that book, I'm a reader--Woody: I wish he was alive so we could interview him.Jim: Old Wooden Ears in studio.Woody: Yes, indeed. Well, we told y'all it would always be different. This is another fine example, something that Jim dug up which I think is fire and we hope you enjoyed it.Jim: Yeah. We thank y'all for allowing us to have a Season 3, all of our Patreon members. Of course, if you can't be a Patreon member, we totally get it and we hope you enjoy the episodes.
