The First Wiradyuri War of Resistance ended in 1824 with a series of massacres conducted by settlers in the Bathurst region. From the 1830s, colonists began occupying more and more Aboriginal land across western New South Wales and stocking it with sheep and cattle. By 1838, a dramatic fightback began across the entire frontier of the colony. What has been called the Second Wiradyuri War of Resistance, from 1839 to 1841, was, in fact, part of a vast arc of conflict from present-day northern Victoria through to southeast Queensland. At the time, it was seen by many contemporaries as a concerted and coordinated ‘uprising'.In Uprising, Stephen Gapps reveals the incredible story of this extensive frontier resistance warfare for the first time – a series of wars that were conducted along a huge area of the Murray-Darling river system, across many First Nations' lands, in a concerted defence of River Country.In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Stephen Gapps about why we are yet to fully recognise that the colonisation of Australia was achieved through frontier wars, how wool was one of the prime economic drivers for the invasion, the extensive networks of communication that existed for First Nations across the colony of New South Wales and why memorials to this war should form part of our national remembrance.

In the Kimberley region of Western Australia, Indigenous First Australians are partnering with researchers and together they are pioneering a revolutionary approach to environmental planning and management, called ‘Caring for the River Country'. By blending ancient wisdom, Indigenous First Law and science with Western science, they're reimagining our relationship with nature and offering a blueprint for global climate action. Professor Anne Poelina at the University of Notre Dame Australia argues that the key to our planet's future may lie in Indigenous knowledge and wisdom, and ways of conceiving of our natural environment as kin.

I was there representing Milner Media Partners to write a news story for their radio stations, The Valley 92.7 FM and River Country 101.7 FM. After hearing Mayor Chris Curtis and Guest Speaker, Marcus Ellis, of Washington, D.C. talk about what needs to be done to combat violence in Kankakee, I thought maybe this would be a conversation you'd want to listen to.    Now, keep in mind the audio is a little subpar compared to what you're used to hearing on Kankakee Podcast. I showed up to this meeting with my iPhone and a note pad with the intent to only use the audio for radio news broadcasts. I decided after the fact that you might want to hear this conversation. None of the less, the audio is mostly audible.    If you want to learn more about Kankakee's Violence Prevention Program called, Kankakee United, go to https://ku.citykankakee-il.gov/.   Much Love, Jake LaMore   P.S.

(Lander, WY) - Back in November, local musician and Northern Arapaho artist Christian Wallowing Bull stopped by KOVE's Coffee Time to talk about the music video shoot for his namesake song, “Wallowing Bull.” After finishing filming and wrapping up post production, the video now has a release date of Monday, January 9, and will debut on Vimeo. During a portion of the shoot, County 10 was able to speak with the filmmakers making the music video, Noam Sol Azouz and Dan Lior, both originally from Israel. Dan Lior, Christian Wallowing Bull, Noam Sol Azouz. h/t Vince Tropea Noam shared that while traveling across the country, she became inspired to shoot a documentary about the Fort Berthold Reservation in South Dakota. After having come across Wallowing Bull's music, Noam reached out and offered to direct a music video for him if she could use one of his songs for that project. Noam went on to tell County 10 that she has fallen in love fast with the Wind River country, a sentiment Lior shared as well. "There's a certain magic to this place," Lior commented. "We both deeply fell in love with this place." Lior, who now lives in the states, has had work showcased on HBO, the BBC, Men's Journal and much more. He stated that he works consistently with Noam and that they share an artistic point of view, with both co-shooting, co-directing and co-editing their current project. While exact details of the music video will be saved for its Monday release, Wallowing Bull and partner/fellow artist Fiadh Vincent shared some stories from the shoot, including when Christian had to stand in freezing cold waters at sunrise, and Vincent had to drive a truck at just the right speed for the directors filming from its bed to get said shot. Check out some photos from portions of the shoot in Lander below, and be on the lookout for the Monday music video release.

Milner Media Partners began all the way back in 1983. Tim Milner and his brother Tommy were attending a Sox game together in Chicago. Before going to the game, they stopped at a bar nearby the stadium. The bar was playing 99.9 FM. The two brothers had been trying to buy their own radio station for awhile and really loved what they heard on 99.9 FM. They went to the payphone at the bar and called the station to ask who the owner was. Tim and Tommy found out the station was in fact for sale and eventually purchased it for a million dollars with the aid of their parents, Gene and Jackie. When the Milners took control of the station, the call letters were changed to WBUS The Bus. It was a rock formatted station at the time. Unfortunately, in 1985, Tommy Milner died in a tragic car accident. After Tommy's death, the format changed to Top 40 and had tremendous success. The station had a very large regional signal that reached not only Kankakee but into Chicago and parts of Indiana. Around 1994, the Milner family decided to sell 99.9 FM. The market was hot and the price was right. In March of 1995, Milner purchased 95.1 FM and that's when WVLI The Valley was born. Tim had what he thought was a brilliant idea for a format: Greatest Hits, Greatest Artists. An oldies station essentially but, with a twist. Many thought that this format would not go over well. However, Tim proved them wrong. Here we are 27 years later and The Valley has become a staple for many in Kankakee County. It's the number one most listened to radio station in our area. Not only that, Milner Media is also the home of two other successful radio stations, River Country 101.7 FM and WFAV 95.1 FM. River Country is also broadcast on 103.7 FM and locally in the Bourbonnais area on 96.1 FM.    On a more personal note, I'd like to thank Tim Milner and the entire Milner Media family for everything they have done to support me and Kankakee Podcast. Without the Milner family, I don't think Kankakee Podcast would have happened. They didn't create the podcast directly or anything like that. They did however give me my first job in radio back in 2014 and drilled into my brain just how important it is to make a positive impact on your local community. When I first started working at Milner Media, I didn't think being involved with the community was as important as they made it out to be. However, overtime I began to learn the importance of community. Tim Milner, his family, and my co-workers at Milner Media taught me that. So when I say Kankakee Podcast probably wouldn't have happened without Milner Media, that's what I mean. I have a career and a future that I love thanks to the Milner Media family. I hope they know how grateful I am for that.    Learn more about Milner Media's radio stations below: https://wvli927.com/ https://wivr1017.com/ https://wfav951.com/     Much Love, Jake LaMore   P.S.

We fall down the conspiracy hole on this one for hopefully a mini series based around different controversies that were "covered up". Disney had a full fledged water park, one that lasted for 20+ years in fact. Don't remember it? Neither did we so in this episode we dive into the mystery of this water parks premature closure.

Teacher and single Mum Alex is escaping the city in search of new start with her young daughter; Bellbird River matriarch Victoria finds herself at a crossroads when globe-trotting, opera-singing cousin Gabrielle moves back home; town baker and Bellbird River fixture, Janine is confronting her past and her present; and newcomer Debbie is trying to leave a painful past behind and create something new. Amid the melodies and camaraderie of the Bellbird River Country Choir each of these women will find the courage to put the past behind them and discover that friendship is much closer to home than they ever realised.In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Sophie Green about the cast of female characters that are at the heart of Bellbird River, the sustaining power of friendship and love, what's in and what's out of the Bellbird River Country Choir's choral repertoire, and how music can build bridges and bind communities.

Rob West is one of the most trusted voices in Kankakee County when it comes to getting the most accurate and up-to-date local news. Rob is currently the News Director at Milner Media Partners in Bourbonnais, which is home to The Valley 92.7 FM, River Country 101.7 FM, 103.7 FM, and 96.1 FM, and WFAV 95.1 FM. However, long before his days at Milner, Rob built a name for himself working at WKAN reporting local news for several years. It was there they he learned from legendary Kankakee newsman, Ed Munday. Rob has seen a thing or two in his many years of radio broadcasting. This episode of Kankakee Podcast only covers a fraction of those stories. It's an honor to be able to call Rob a co-worker and friend.    You can hear Rob West weekday mornings on any of the Milner Media stations.

It's Time D-Heads! This week we travel back in time to be groovy with Mickey Mouse Club alum and also learning The Fact of Life from our guest JULIE PIEKARSKI (New Mickey Mouse Club, The Facts of Life, Threes Company, Different Strokes, Best of Times)! Julie stops in and talks about her time being on the New Mickey Mouse Club, fun off screen happenings during The Fact of Life, working with Nick Cage and Crispin Glover, future ventures and so much more. Jonathan gets slides into his usual rants and ramblings and discusses River Country, Mouseketeers at Walt Disney World, auditioning for The Mickey Mouse Club, the many incarnations of clubs for Mickey and more. In addition no show is complete without the D-Team and Domenic is here discussing his top attractions and versions of attractions in Disney Attraction History Debate! Maybe this week we will laugh along with him. While Jeremy is looking to get into his short pants and watch cartoons of yesteryear in Disney Shorts and I think some kind of basket madness is happening. And you have questions and Erin has the answers in I Want to Know! Let's not forget Cody here to give you his Pick of the Week! And it may get a tad freaky! So it's time to Put on Your Ears, Give it a Little Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, and get ready to Relive the Magic, Memories and Appreciation from Your Lifetime of Disney with DisneyBlu's DizRadio "A Disney Themed Celebrity Guest Show"!

Dianne O'Brien was born in the 1940s and grew up in an Irish-Australian family near Sydney. But when she was just 14, her world was torn apart: her beloved mother died, her father abandoned her and she discovered she was adopted. She was sent to a notorious children's home, where she gave birth to her first child, the result of a sexual assault.  Years later, she went in search of her birth family and discovered she was Indigenous, part of the Stolen Generation and a descendant of celebrated Indigenous Australian politicians. Dianne eventually went on to become a leader in her own right in the community she was taken from so many decades before.      Dianne has written a book about her life, Daughter of the River Country.    A warning that this episode contains descriptions of physical and sexual violence.  Presenter: Emily Webb Producer: Zoe Gelber Get in touch: outlook@bbc.com (Photo: Dianne O'Brien with her mother, aged two.

In this episode of the Carousel Project, we cover the good, the bad, and the abandoned of the first themed water park.

Cowabonga Baby! This week on an all new episode of Drunk Distory presents ‘The Dark Ride' we continue hot-podcast summer by drinking yet another of the great Orlando themed water parks – Typhoon Lagoon! This storm-ravaged tropical bay is the perfect place to cool down during the hot summer months (if only it was currently open *cry-face emoji*). That's right, it's time to join Miss Tilly the shrimp boat that was impaled upon Mount Mayday and erupt into some laughter (with the help of some strong drinks) to see if Typhoon Lagoon and it's dope wave pool have what it takes to take on Blizzard Beach, River Country, and Volcano Bay in this mini-tournament to find the ultimate themed water park! Do you think it could be Typhoon Lagoon? There's only one way to find out!

This week on an all new episode of Drunk Distory presents ‘The Dark Ride' we stumble down to an old fashioned swimming hole to drink the now defunct Disney legend - River Country! That's right, just off the shores of Bay Lake once stood Disney's first water park. It closed in 2001 and sat abandoned for almost 2 decades and in the process gained a cult-like following thanks to some creepy footage captured by urban explorers. It's since been demolished, but the fond childhood memories splashing around in it's muddy waters still remain. So, will this once beloved water park rise past the levee or will it break and let in a brain eating amoeba? There's only one way to find out!

I was one year into my broadcasting career when I first met Mike Tomano in 2015. I hosted the midday show on River Country 101.7 FM and Mike was hired to do the morning show. At that point, Mike had been out of radio for a year or so and wanted to give it one last go around. I'm thankful he did. Otherwise, we may not have met. I remembered him from his days at The Kat 105.5 FM hosting mornings with Steve Touhy. I was excited to meet someone like him who was well known in the Kankakee Valley radio market. We quickly learned we had a lot in common and became friends. I also learned quite a bit of radio hosting skills from him as well. Now at this point in 2021, Mike is in his 2nd year hosting mornings on The Valley 92.7 FM and celebrating his 30th year in radio broadcasting. As you can imagine, he has several stories to share. The good, bad, and the ugly. Buckle up because this is a wild two hour ride through Mike Tomano's life. He was kind enough to open up to me about some sensitive subjects and I'm grateful he did. Much Love, Jake LaMore The post Episode 5: Mike Tomano appeared first on Kankakee Podcast.

River Country; the first water theme park in Florida, US, and probably the world! What ever happened to it? Where is it now? Why do I feel like this is going to sound like a celebrity "where are they now?" E! episode? Well, I did mention it on the last episode, but didn't know I would be so lucky to have a guest talk about it with me! Welcome my CrossFit friend and Disney enthusiast, Mackenzie! River Country opened its wet doors in 1975, and literally hit capacity every day until it didn't reopen in 2002. What made this park so great? The Imagineers that crafted the rocks by hand to give it an authentic feel? Or was it that Gerald Ford's daughter was the first to ride down a slide? Or that some think there are conspiracy theories why it closed since Disney never gave an actual answer? It's all of them, honestly. Mackenzie and I go over all of these factors, how others tried to replicate the park (think Action Park in Jersey), what some of the reasons for the downfall were, and what we hope is the future legacy of River Country.
