The Monroe Cross Trail 50 Mile Ultra was a race that made its debut last year with Diane Romero-Lopez leading the way as a new Race Director! She has done an amazing job turning this race from a late-night 50-mile birthday run into the race it is today! What a dream come true! On the chat, we've got two runners who ran their first ever 50 miler, Brent Knott and Megan Schweitzer! And! Also on the chat we've got two seasoned veterans, Rachel Alexander and Sean Baum who both ran some 50 mile PR's! The race is a point-to-point race that starts in Rotary Park in Edgewater Florida and running 50 miles to the finish line at Central 28 Beer Company in DeBary, Florida. You run the Monroe Cross Trail the Sprint-to-Spring Trail, and beautiful shoreline of Lake Monroe until you reach your turnaround point before heading to Central 28. The Monroe Cross Trail also has the 50k and 17k events too! Amazing!

After having someone slide into her DMs...Maya offered up some landscaping advice on 'Two Lies...One DM'. Temporary love or hookups are easy to find at Stampede...but stories about TRUE LOVE are a little harder to find. The good news is that they do exist...and we found a bunch of them! And we found out why there are naked people in a box at Rotary Park.

April 15, 2022 — Around late March as I drove into Mendocino Village, I saw a new sight: two of the biggest flags in rich brilliant color, dancing in the strong wind. Flags in the town of Mendocino are normal for the music festival, art events, to direct to one of the many weddings that the rustic and charming backdrop of Mendocino plays host to. This pair struck an immediate chord with this journalist, however, when I realized the significance of their colors: one yellow, one blue, side by side. As I kept driving, I saw several more. Today there are literally dozens of pairs all around town. You really cannot miss them if you drive or walk around the town of Mendocino. I have been curious about their sudden appearance and apparent ability to multiply. So I talked with the person behind the idea for the flags around town, local resident David Gross. We met at the Rotary Park in Mendocino, on the corner of Main and Lansing Streets on a sunny early morning with birds chirping in the background and the air warming us as we sat at a comfortable well worn picnic table.

Today I am chatting with Brian Sharbono, he won this inaugural Monroe Cross Trail 50 Miler this year as he preps for the Umstead 100. He has a handful of great runs at races such as winning the 2021 Pine Mountain 19 Miler and the Pine Mountain 46 Miler in 2019. He's done the Sweat, Swat, n Swear and took a victory at the River to Sea 6 Hour. At the 2021 Leadville 100, he ran a time of 23:42:12 to have a Top 50 finish. So last weekend, that last weekend of January the Monroe Cross Trail 50 Miler took place in its inaugural event! Diane Romero-Lopez knocked it out of the park with this one. Now, it's a paved point-to-point 50 miler that starts in Volusia County, starting from Rotary Park in Edgewater, Florida and going 50 miles to the finish line at Central 28 Beer Company in DeBary, Florida. Brian Sharbono took the victory this year with a time of 6:13:19 as he preps for the Umstead 100. Marc Burget took that 2nd overall with a time of 6:31:26! Luis Gomez, who placed second at Long Haul this year came in 3rd with a time of 7:28:59. The women's race was a close finish!! The first woman came in 4th overall, Joanne Fisher, she ran a time of 8:11:41. She was shortly followed by 5th place overall, and of course your second place woman… Jennifer Jordan with a time of 8:11:53. Shirley Olson was your third woman and 9thoverall with a time of 9:10:51!

His words will help many of us never forget. 

Everyone has a story. Some are long, some are short. Some are interesting, some have twists and turns, and a thickening plot at every chapter, but everyone has a story. I think that's what I love about having a platform like a podcast. I love learning about people's stories.Since my early 20's I have lived my life by the motto "It's all about the book". That's a long story and there's a whole presentation on it and everything.So when you get talking to others that also have a similar motto, there are some great stories to tell. Like Dominic's.Now, I've been a big fan of Dom's since I met the kid probably about ten years ago and knew he would spread his wings, but also hoped he would always find a path home, and that he has, at least for now.We had such fun chatting on last week's episode, I invited him back to discuss some topics further, such as the moment he found himself and realised that you are who you are and you don't need to apologise for that, and also about his time in the ARMY!It's a very interesting chat, and we also cover off on some of the weekly housekeeping things, check in with Kelsey from the Euston Pub and talk about the Rotary Park playground!Oh and it's our 100th episode - YAY!

The Locals Episode 120 "Rotary Park" 9/10/2020 by Cape May Locals

In this 5-minute video podcast, meet Terry Lande, our island's longtime Executive Director of the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District. Terry's staff gave their all -- and then some -- to the hands-on creation of this inviting and inclusive "Owen's Playground" at Rotary Park on Bainbridge Island. In his conversation with BCB's Channie Peters, Terry explains that his team at the Parks District were so inspired and attracted by the idea behind Owen's Playground that several of them worked on the project long beyond their paid hours. Terry invited his whole Parks District staff team to come to work at the playground on the last day before the grand opening event, correctly realizing that the hands-on experience would be memorable and fulfilling. The Parks District played a key role in bringing the project to realization. The Owen's Playground project found a home in the park thanks to a unanimous vote of the commissioners of the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District ("Parks District") to earmark 13,000 square feet at the existing Rotary Park (which also includes two ball fields). The project to create an inclusive park, designed to be safe and accessible for all, has been embraced by hosts of individuals and organizations who made the creation of this remarkable play space a true labor of love. Design was donated by Studio Hanson|Roberts, with the laborious hands-on construction work and building of the playground's artistic features coming from Terry's Parks District team, including, for example, Dan Hamlin and David Harry. Further funding was provided by Bainbridge Island Rotary Club, the Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation, buckets of collections at local businesses, the Goldberg family of Harper's Playground, family and friends of the Marshalls ... and kids!

The project to create an inclusive park, designed to be safe and accessible for all, has been embraced by hosts of individuals and organizations who made the creation of this remarkable play space a true labor of love. Funding of the project started with donations from friends and family at the time of the October 2013 memorial service for Owen.  Four months later, the project found a home thanks to a unanimous vote of the commissioners of the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District ("Parks District") to earmark 13,000 square feet at the existing Rotary Park (which also includes two ball fields). Design of the playground began in March 2014. As noted on the playground's website: contributions and donated time came from "community members, local organizations, educators, parents, caregivers of those with disabilities, pediatric occupational and physical therapists" and many others. Design was donated by Studio Hanson|Roberts, and laborious hands-on construction work and building of the park's artistic features came from a combination of paid and donated time from the staff of the Parks District. Further funding was provided by Bainbridge Island Rotary Club, the Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation, buckets of collections at local businesses, the Goldberg family of Harper's Playground, family and friends of the Marshalls ... and kids!

Beginners. Ellensburg is a town that is about an hour and a half's drive from Wenatchee. If you take the main road towards Seattle, you will find it on the way. The town is situated in a very wide valley that is pretty and green, especially at the moment because of spring rains and snow melt. We spent this last weekend there because my second son,Cass, took place in the All Stars Championship tournament. It was all very exciting. There were quite a few other teams from different towns, all sporting their different colors. They all looked very smart. All the parents and other family members turned up in the seating areas with baseball hats, fold-out chairs, blankets, snacks, and lots of energy to cheer the teams on. The matches took place at a facility called the Rotary Park. Rotary had raised many funds to pay for this large area of fields to be converted into a sports ground for baseball and soccer. It was all very nicely done, neat, clean, and organized. Well, the matches took place, and our Wenatchee team got into the final. The boys were so excited! Oh, but the emotions were up and down. Sometimes the ball was hit well, and other times it wasn't. Sometimes the opponents' balls were caught out, and other times they were dropped. We parents cheered and moaned, moaned and cheered. Finally, the last inning came and went, and our team took second place. But well done to them! They had worked hard all weekend. Grammar notes. Preterite practice: to spend time, to take place, to turn up. Exs: We spent a lot of time with our cousins this vacation. The concert took place out in the open, near a forest. The guests turned up an hour early; the party wasn't ready at all. Advanced.  One sight that you may be lucky enough to see near Ellensburg, in Kittitas county, is that of wind turbines. They have become a familiar feature in that area, and are giving the town the reputation of green and forward thinking. On visiting Ellensburg recently, I realised just why wind turbines are a good idea on the surrounding hills. The wind, out on the plains of the sports facility, was unyielding. It literally didn't stop. Spring, I know, in many towns, is windy. But the wind around Ellensburg is a power to be reckoned with. That is exactly why state incentives have pushed for the setting up of these giant, white wind machines. There has, of course, been some resistance to the project. Some locals believe that some views are ruined because of these great whirling towers. But, the question is, are they worth it? How much clean energy do they actually produce? Bearing in mind that the average U.S. household uses 10,000 kWh of electricity per year, a 5-MW turbine can produce more than 15 million kWH of electricity per year. That is enough to power about 1,400 houses. Excess electricity can be sold back to the national power grid (which is the national supply). Apparently, if the wind speed is 12 miles per hour or more, it is worth installing a wind turbine. It is certainly a growing trend here in the U.S. There is a lot a land on which turbines can be placed, and a lot of windy areas, like the West coast and Texas, where this energy can be produced. With the need for alternative sources of energy, these large, spinning statues are quickly becoming a welcome source of power. Grammar notes. Useful vocabulary: a trend, a feature, unyielding, a force (power) to be reckoned with, to bear in mind. Exs: Jeans with a very low waist-line are still the trend in jeans. Her eyes are her best feature. The army was unyielding; it continued to press forward all day, inspite of casualties. That boxer is a force to be reckoned with; he will be a challenge to anyone. He will help you fix your car, but please bear in mind that he has a bad back. // //
