Andor Season 2 is maintaining its serious, grounded tone, building up to Rogue One beautifully. The ethics of AI-generated trailers are increasingly blurry, especially when studios start profiting off them.

This week we have a great episode with guest host Curt Haven who sits down with Rancho Cordova City Manager, Micah Runner. Curt and Micah go way back as Curt hired Micah to work in the Economic development dept at City Hall when Curt was Economic Development Director for the city. Of course, Micah went onto a great career in city management and today he is the third city Manager of our city. I really enjoyed this episode, I learnt a lot and I think you will too, Today's episode is sponsored by Fat Elephant Records books and Music a new record and bookstore opening in Rancho Cordova.

If you are a regular listener of this podcast, you will have heard our two guest hosts, Mike Marando, who covers all things sports, and Cheryl Gleason, who brings us great shows about the arts scene here in Rancho Cordova and our region as a whole. Well, today I'm delighted to introduce you to our third guest host, and I am so happy he has agreed to join the podcast and bring us regular shows, which he is calling “Community Champions.” I have known Curt Haven for a couple of years. In fact, last year, on an early episode of this podcast, he was a guest, and I had the pleasure of interviewing him. Curt is a truly kind and compassionate human being. Many people who have worked at City Hall since the incorporation of the city refer to Curt Haven as “number 1,” as he was the first employee at the City of Rancho Cordova after its incorporation in 2003. Since then, he has held numerous senior positions at the City of Rancho Cordova, where he worked for many years until his retirement. Shelly Blanchard, Executive Director of Cordova Community Council, once said, “A hug from Curt Haven can cure cancer.” One of the best phrases I have ever heard about someone, and now knowing Curt, I tend to agree. On Curt's inaugural show, he turns the tables on me, and I am his first guest. A true honor for me. So please sit back and welcome Curt Haven as our new guest host on the Rancho Cordova Podcast.

On March 14, 1998, Anthony Galati was found murdered along the side of a road in Rancho Cordova, CA. The case went cold until October 1999, when Israel Septs, an inmate in a California prison, told police that he witnessed the crime. Septs claimed that 23-year-old Jeremy Puckett and 18-year-old Angela Dvorsky killed Galati after they robbed him. Despite having an alibi and no physical evidence linking him to the crime, Jeremy was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder.

But work wasn't easy to come by. As he and his family struggled, his despair grew. He wondered if he should give up on his dreams of acting or find a steady job. He turned to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes. “Show me my way in life,” he vowed to the saint one night in a Detroit church, “and I will build you a shrine.” That prayer to St. Jude marked a pivotal moment in his life. Soon after, he began finding work, eventually becoming one of the biggest stars of radio, film and television in his day. And as one of the world's biggest celebrities, Danny used his fame to fulfill his vow to St. Jude Thaddeus and to change the lives of thousands of children and families with a unique research institute. Danny's shrine to St. Jude Thaddeus was originally to be a general children's hospital located somewhere in the south. Danny's mentor, Cardinal Samuel Stritch, recommended he look to Memphis, Tennessee, the cardinal's hometown. By 1955 Danny and a group of Memphis businessmen he'd rallied to build the hospital decided it should be more than a general children's hospital. At the time, the survival rate for childhood cancers was 20%, and for those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) — the most common form of childhood cancer — only 4% of children would live   Danny began raising money for his vision in the early 1950s. By 1955, the Memphis business leaders who'd joined his cause also began local fundraising efforts. Danny also wanted to get the word out across the country about what he was doing and enlist the support of everyone he could. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital opened its doors on February 4, 1962, based on Danny's dream that "no child should die in the dawn of life." Since then, we've made incredible strides in childhood cancer research. We've helped improve the survival rate of childhood cancer from 20% to 80%. And ALL, the disease with a virtual death sentence in 1962, now has a survival rate of 94 percent.   So let's get right to the show and we are going to let our guests explain this exciting opportunity. So grab a pen and paper, and get ready to buy a ticket or more there's no limit to your new dream home.

Arts and Entertainment: Rancho Cordova is known as the "City of Events" and houses one of the best Art Complex in our region The MACC. The City has its own orchestra, Symphony D'oro, a Swing Dance Band, a Black Box Theatre, and features one of the largest July 4th fireworks displays in the region, and a whole slate of large outdoor events. Every month Director/ Curator of The MACC, Cheryl Gleason speaks to visual artists, musicians, actors, theatre groups as well as other notable influencers in the art scene in the Sacramento Region. It is not uncommon to hear people marvel at the explosion of the arts in Rancho Cordova, and for good reason. Where ever you go in our city, you are likely to experience a bit of art – whether painted on the side of a utility box, as music heard wafting through a grocery store or enjoyed during a casual wander through the Mills Station Arts and Culture Center.  It's true that the arts have continued to grow in Rancho Cordova in so many ways that it is easy to forget that it has been only 10 years since this spark was ignited, and how the wonderful Marsha Mason has guided it to success.  Marsha brought a background as a landscape architect with experience running large programs in the public sector to Rancho Cordova's newborn arts movement back in 2012. She was CEO of Sites Pacific, Inc., a landscape architectural firm specializing in public works projects and visual impact assessments. She taught landscape architecture courses as a lecturer at U.C. Davis. Marsha served as President of the Sierra Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, was a founder of WalkSacramento.  Those skills all come together in 2012 as Marsha joined a small group of local artists to work with the Cordova Community Council to form what has become known as “Rancho Cordova Arts.” That year, the first City Hall exhibit launched with a fine art exhibit of local artists aptly named “Genesis.”  Most artists are content – and prefer -- to simply work on their art, but Marsha is not like most artists. Understanding the importance of having an organization of people committed to an artistic future, she rolled up her sleeves to accomplish less glamourous foundational tasks like creating a non-profit organization, developing a website, creating a newsletter and focusing artistic energy in the community to produce memorable art events.
