In the episode, “A Lived Experience Dialogue: Facing Our Pasts, Reinventing Our Futures with Tom Woodrow and Mike Panasitti (S6, E7),” I sit with two success stories of people who have suffered with forms of mental illness who have come out on the other side. Part 1:When Tom Woodrow was 17, his life took a sharp turn. During a road trip with friends, Tom experienced his first manic episode, and subsequently ended up in a psychiatric hospital-misdiagnosed with depression and subjected to electroshock therapy. After years of struggling, and after nearly losing his life in India during a volunteer trip, he met two counselors from a mental health charity, who taught him to manage moods, avoid triggers, and stay well with skills that have kept him stable for 20 years. Today he helps others who also live with bipolar disorder, understanding how overwhelming it can be. He offers support programs that help people manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.To learn more about Tom, follow him at: Instagram: @bipolarwithyouPart 2:Mike Panasitti was born in East Los Angeles in 1969 and is a graduate of UC Berkeley and a former patient of California's Department of State Hospitals. From 2015 to 2018 he was a prisoner at New Folsom, a maximum security prison near Sacramento. Mike is now an exhibiting artist, as well as a poet and prose writer whose publishing credits include poems in Matter, creative non-fiction in WALL Literary Journal, and over 40 short stories posted on Reedsy Prompts. He currently lives in the city of Santa Ana and is enrolled as a student of creative writing at Saddleback College.

Why is it often difficult to find pleasure and joy in God? If the chief end of man is to know and enjoy God, why do so many of us fall short? In this episode, Sean and Scott talk with Biola professor Thaddeus Williams about these questions and his new book Revering God. Dr. Williams argues that a deep-dive into the theological understanding of the reverence of God can transform our relationship with God and allow us to live in awe-inspired devotion. Thaddeus J. Williams (Ph.D., Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam) loves enlarging students' understanding and enjoyment of Jesus at Biola University in La Mirada, CA, where he serves as associate professor of Systematic Theology for Talbot School of Theology. He has also taught Philosophy and Literature at Saddleback College, Jurisprudence at Trinity Law School, and as a lecturer in Worldview Studies at L'Abri Fellowships in Switzerland and Holland, and Ethics for Blackstone Legal Fellowship the Federalist Society in Washington D.C. He resides in Orange County, CA with his wife and four kids. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

Today we're told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record-breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams debunks the “ten commandments of self-worship” and points to a life beyond the self-defeating dogmas of self-worship to a more meaningful life centred on Someone infinitely more interesting, satisfying, and awesome than ourselves. Thaddeus Williams is back on the podcast, this time to tell us not to follow our hearts but to follow God's heart! ABOUTThaddeus J.

Saddleback College wanted to launch a targeted digital marketing campaign, and it wanted to ensure it got the details and audience right. As an HSI – Hispanic-Serving Institution – the California college needed to speak its audience's language, both literally and figuratively. Jennie McCue, Saddleback's executive director of marketing and communications, talks through how it selected its vendor, the research conducted, and the (successful!) results of the campaign.

Belgian researchers study pigs' response to music Scientists in Belgium are investigating a farmer's claim that different styles of music affect the behavior of his pigs. 比利時科學家正在調查一名農夫所說,不同類型的音樂會影響其豬隻行為之事。 Piet Paesmans first noticed the phenomenon when his son started singing a tune in the barn during a sluggish insemination session his sows seemed excited and started wagging their tails. 皮耶特‧帕斯曼斯最先注意到這個現象,是在一次閒適的授精作業時,他的兒子在豬舍裡唱起一段旋律,而母豬似乎很興奮,開始搖擺尾巴。 Paesmans has since created a playlist to coincide with different parts of the day. 在那之後,帕斯曼斯設計了一份播放清單,在一天中不同時段播放。 "Jolly dance songs are the biggest hits. When it's really dynamic they even start dancing around and frolicking. Rock music is too strong, they don't like it," he said. 他說:「歡快的舞曲最受歡迎。當歌曲真的很動感時,牠們甚至會開始跳舞作樂。搖滾樂則太強烈,牠們不喜歡。」 "A top athlete needs to be completely fit not only physically, but also mentally. And that's just the same for pigs. When they are slaughtered, you can see when they've had too much stress. It's really important for the quality of the meat." 「一名頂尖運動員不光身體狀況必須無懈可擊,心理狀況也得強健,豬也是一樣。當牠們被宰殺時,你可以看出牠們是否承受過多壓力。這對肉的品質真的很重要。」 Next Article Real snowbird in Southern California?

The volatile mix of alumni pride and shifting cultural sensitivities makes changing mascots a thorny challenge for schools and their communities. My guest on this episode, Jennie McCue, lived through each tricky step of that process recently as Director of Marketing and Communications at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California. Jennie has many enlightening and entertaining lessons to share about handling this change that can apply as well to other campus conflicts that are imbued with passionate advocates on all sides. Bottom line: an inclusive, patient, transparent process will produce the best results. Check out this fun and deeply informative conversation for all the details, including whether or not it makes sense to work with outside agencies on these projects.
Do you have a person in your life who is just refreshing to be with? A human who allows you to show up in whatever form you're in and leave a little more whole. A friend who meets you in the darker moments with a soft light…not one of those obnoxious lights that blinds you, more like a night light, guiding you with just enough light to see what's right ahead of you. Heidi Ochoa is kinda like that kind of light and I am confident that this episode of The Giving Gifts Podcast will be illuminate a little hope in whatever it is you're going through right now. Heidi can be found being a light in her home with her husband Lucas (who actually may be in the top ten funniest people I've met), with her bright and just as funny daughter Lily, and of course with the king himself, Dublin. It is because of Dublin I had the gift of connecting with the Ochoa family and it is through Dublin that Heidi found a light in autism. On the side, you can catch Heidi being a bad ass professor at Saddleback College and always an advocate for voices who aren't always being heard.

Over Coffee® is on holiday hiatus. Please enjoy this reposting of one of our top podcast episodes of 2021! To choreographer and marine biologist Deidre Cavazzi, art, science and math are natural dance partners. Deidre, who is both the Founder/Artistic DIrector of ARCHITEXTURE Dance Company and Chair of Saddleback College Dance Department, finds inspiration in areas most people wouldn't equate with creating art. These include mathematical principles, environmental issues and neuroscience. And perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of her creative work, is her interdisciplinary approach. "Everyone is an artist," Deidre explains. "Everyone is a scientist." Accordingly, her Saddleback collaborations can involve the physics department, math majors and the ceramics studio. Meanwhile, ARCHITEXTURE's presentations illustrate subjects like nanoscience and California ecology. Deidre explained the ways her own background had led to her collaborative artistic projects, offered a look at the creative process behind Saddleback College's all-virtual multimedia project “Signals and Circuits”, and gave a preview of what's coming next! On this edition of Over Coffee® we cover: The multidisciplinary background that first interested Deidre in both art and science; How Deidre first decided to reach out to other departments at Saddleback College for interdisciplinary projects; A look at separate performances Deidre created, based on physics and mathematics concepts; Some inspiration sources Deidre recommends for other creatives; One of Deidre's favorite creative lessons during a trip to the Arctic with other artists and scientists; An environmental “find” that shocked Deidre and her fellow artists–and led to a powerful new performance; What works for Deidre, in translating her experiences to multimedia for her audiences; How Deidre, her students and her colleagues collaborated remotely to create their all-virtual piece, “Signals and Circuits” A look at Saddleback College's upcoming dance program, created remotely with Zoom and green screen; Some of the isolation-related innovations which Deidre expects to carry forward, post-pandemic; A look at what Deidre is currently exploring for a future collaboration!; Where to find Saddleback College's spring dance collaborations when posted;
In the latest episode of the SBLive California Podcast, reporters Connor Morrissette, Lance Smith and Bodie DeSilva break down state bowl game action from last week and then look ahead to the five CIF State football championships this weekend at Saddleback College. The games include Mater Dei Catholic vs. Central Catholic, Folsom vs. Cathedral Catholic, Scripps Ranch vs. Wilcox, Liberty Bakersfield vs. Serra Gardena and Mater Dei vs. Serra San Mateo.
It's our last weekend of games, and hosts Chace and Ben are trying not to get emotional. Instead, they pour their energy into an hour of CIF State Bowl conversation. The show welcomes Cal-Hi Sports co-founder and editor Mark Tennis for the second time this season. As someone who maintains the most-recognized state football rankings, there's no better person to preview some of the biggest bowl matchups this weekend. Tennis shares his thoughts on the bowl games themselves as we reach the 15th anniversary of the CIF bowl era, and offers up a variety of insight on the five large division games being played at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo this Friday and Saturday. Coach Terry Eidson makes his weekly appearance and shares his thoughts on Folsom's seismic NorCal regional win over De La Salle. He also empathizes with Serra-San Mateo coach Patrick Walsh who is preparing to face National No. 1 Mater Dei-Santa Ana in the Open Division bowl. Eidson has plenty of experience preparing for SoCal powerhouses, and revisits some unhappy memories to add insight to the process Serra is going through before Saturday's 8 p.m. kickoff. Finally, Chace, Ben and Coach Eidson share game picks for the final time this season.
One of the most valuable projects I've done involved hiring “secret shoppers” to pose as students so they could check out colleges known for their marketing prowess and learn what they do so well. On this special episode of Higher Education Coffee & Conversation, you'll listen-in to a webinar presentation I recently did with Tony Teng, Dean of Advanced Technology and Applied Science at Saddleback College, during which we divulge some smart ways these institutions use marketing to rise above the clutter. Whether it's creating customized webpages for interested students, relying more on texting than email, or making the best use of Tik Tok, there's a lot to learn in this session including ideas you can implement right away. And while holiday shopping only happens once a year, you can do secret shopping anytime!

Episode 79 features painter Ronald Jackson. Growing up in the rural South of the Arkansas Delta, Jackson was the youngest of eleven kids born to a farmer and a community organizer. His Mother and Father left a legacy of challenging and reshaping the norms of the racial status quo in their surrounding home communities. Jackson came from a lineage of black landowners farming in the South. In the mid-sixties, his parents led communities in the organization of multiple boycotts against the establishment of local racial injustices. Despite suffering continual threats, harassments, and organized retaliations, efforts eventually led to a successful lawsuit against their local school district and a subsequent US Court of Appeal's decision, ruling in the favor of forcing the area school districts into full desegregation. Jackson studied Architecture at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo CA before joining the US Army. He served 21 plus years in the Army and retired in 2014. Midway his military career, He began a pursuit of becoming a professional artist. With no access to art school, Jackson engaged himself on a journey of self-disciplines and personal discovery to realize this goal as an artist. The military afforded him the experience of living in places such as South Korea, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Iraq, and Kuwait; He believes that his childhood upbringing and the adult experiences of being immersed into other societies has given him an appreciation and broad perspective on life amidst the complex challenges that we all face.

Justice, race, sexuality, and gender are among the hottest topics in our culture today. These issues are often packaged together under the banners of “social justice” and being “woke.” The church has not been immune from these conversations, as many Christians attempt to grapple with the various issues and voices around social justice. As I have studied these debates, I have found one of the best resources to be Thaddeus Williams's Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth. In this single volume, Williams tackles all of the foremost topics swirling around our culture today. His treatment of these debates is grounded in truth, compassion, and a desire for true justice. In this episode, we discuss his book and a Christian view of social justice that is grounded in a thoroughly biblical worldview. Thaddeus Williams (Ph.D., Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam) loves enlarging students' understanding and enjoyment of Jesus at Biola University in La Mirada, CA, where he serves as assistant professor of Systematic Theology for Talbot School of Theology. He has also taught Philosophy and Literature at Saddleback College, Jurisprudence at Trinity Law School, and as a lecturer in Worldview Studies at L'Abri Fellowships in Switzerland and Holland, and Ethics for Blackstone Legal Fellowship the Federalist Society in Washington D.C. He resides in Orange County, CA with his wife and four kids.

Leslie Lucy – The Whinypaluza Podcast with Rebecca Greene Episode 072 Building Confidence in Children Leslie did not start out as a preschool owner. In fact, she worked in the medical field as a surgical assistant until the age of 35, when she heard a sermon by Bruce Wilkinson that changed the course of her life. The book “The Dream Giver” explains why we have a dream and how God wants us to follow that dream to fulfill His purpose in our lives. While raising three children, Leslie realized that her passion was to be in childcare. She took a leap of faith and started her own home daycare. When she realized her true calling, “to change the way we do preschool,” she went to Saddleback College to get her education in Early Childhood Development. In 2003, Leslie was led to launch a pilot program at Calvary Chapel of the Canyons, where the Orange Tree Teaching system was put together. Soon after, Leslie launched Orange Tree Corp in Lake Forest as its first location. In 2011, Orange Tree opened its second location in Newport Beach and is currently extending the third branch in Costa Mesa, slated to open in September 2021. Through Orange Tree, Leslie has changed the way we do preschool. She believes that her system will be implemented in preschools throughout the world and not just at Orange Tree. Contrary to what most schools advocate for, which is “new and fresh,” Leslie believes in good old-fashioned practice and repetition. She believes that it is crucial to teach kids perseverance and life skills that will equip them to overcome challenges and come out the other side victorious. In that way, she combines Classical education and skills training while making it fun for the kids, which helps them develop a love for learning. Listen to this insightful Whinypaluza episode with Leslie Lucy about building confidence in children. Here is what to expect on this week's show: ● How the Orange Tree system advocates for practice, repetition, and mastery. ● Why you have to make your lessons fun when you're teaching children. ● How kids need to learn how to practice and persevere for mastery. ● Why young kids with too many choices can feel burdened with responsibilities. ● Why many pre-schools aren't preparing children for school or the real world.

Kathryn interviews LMFT Carol Hughes PhD, author of “Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce.” Every year in the US, over 600,000 people age 50 years and older file for divorce — and researchers project that by 2030 this number will grow by one third. It has grown so rapidly that sociologists have already coined a term for it — the “gray divorce revolution.” As the divorce rate for older adults soars, so too does the number of adult children who are experiencing parental divorce. Yet, these adult children frequently say that they are the only ones who are aware of what they are going through and that they feel painfully alone. Hughes shares her deep understanding gained during the innumerable hours she's spent with these women and men in her clinical practice. She served for ten years as an Associate Professor of Human Services at Saddleback College and is a two-time Fulbright Scholar. Kathryn also interviews Forbes Columnist & Certified Executive Coach Bonnie Marcus M.Ed, author of “Not Done Yet!: How Women Over 50 Regain Their Confidence and Claim Workplace Power.” Forbes' 50 Over 50 list and Mika Brzezinski's “Know Your Value” initiative are ushering in a much-needed celebration of older women who are shattering age and gender norms. But despite advances made by women in the workplace, pay inequity and underrepresentation in top positions are still a reality. And, unfortunately, the situation looks worse for older women, who face what Marcus calls “the double whammy of gendered ageism.” In her new book, she lays out assumptions and fears about aging that are holding women back, provides tips and exercises to stop staying small and proves to women that they can keep their jobs, advance their careers and do the work they love. Marcus is a certified executive coach, founder of Women's Success Coaching, and has been featured in WSJ, Business Insider, Huff Post, Fortune, Fast Company, Reader's Digest, Psychology Today and Crains NY.

Playboy Playmate, Actress, Model, and soon Author Deborah Driggs share stories from her life. Whether you are reading her bio at IMDB or looking at her Instagram Account, you can feel the authenticity of her story. Her willingness to share details from her life and the lessons learned make this one of my all time favorite shows. Deb’s memoirs should be out October of 2021. The best way to keep up with Deborah is by following her Instagram Account: https://www.instagram.com/deborahdriggs/ About Deborah Driggs: Born and raised in a dysfunctional, lower middle class home in the South Bay community of Southern California, Deborah Driggs was a lonely latchkey kid whose parents both worked long hours. At the age of seven she discovered a love for ice skating and began taking lessons at a local rink, where by the age of ten, I was a competitive figure skater. Deborah learned the value of discipline at an early age: her mornings began at 4 a.m. where, for two hours she would practice "figure 8's" before starting her school day. On Saturdays, she also took ballet lessons, although her dream was set on becoming an Olympic figure skater at age eleven. By working on herself under these demanding conditions, Deborah learned self-discipline, consistency, dedication and time management skills which would help her to achieve great things in life, later on. Despite her commitment and hard work, everything changed when she was fourteen after her parents divorced and she was told she would be living with her father. Not only did this affect her career goals, but she was forced to leave private school and enrolled in the toughest public schools in Hawthore. Furthermore, her father had no interest in providing her with guidance or financial support. The divorce took its toll on her, emotionally and physically. Having been involved in athletics up until that point in her life, Deborah now had no outlet to express herself and no allowance to buy clothes, books, or food. The only option she had was to find a job that she could work after school. Her first job was working at a cemetery where she created flower arrangements and placed them on graves. That was followed by work at a fast food restaurant, and then, as a clerk in a drug store, working until midnight most evenings and then walking home, alone, through unsafe neighborhoods. Before long, her school work suffered and when graduation time approached, she learned that she was not eligible to graduate because of missed classes in Government Studies. Intent on doing whatever it took for her to meet the requirements, Deborah negotiated a deal with her teacher to write a thesis on the classwork she had missed by the following Monday. While the content of the paper may have been less than par, her teacher was so impressed with her efforts that he gave her a passing grade so that she could graduate high school. By working her way through high school, Deborah learned how to solve her own problems rather than depending on others' help. Along with her negotiating skills, she learned how to get hired for a job. Rarely, if ever, was she turned down for anything she tried out for. When faced with a challenge, she was always ready to figure out what was required of her to move forward. With her willingness to complete her coursework, she realized that she could accomplish almost anything. She also realized that she possessed the ability to negotiate with adults which created the basis of her business success in never taking "no" for an answer. Another lesson she learned during her high school years was that even if you are the minority - with less money, less education, or the 'wrong' ethnic mix, you can still make friends and find a way to fit in. Once again, Deborah's athletic ability came into play when she made it on the Song Leader/Dance Squad for her school. After being accepted at Saddleback College, Deborah quickly tried out for that school's eminent Dance Squad and made it after competing against 100 other young women. However, with her low grade point average, she was put on academic probation and told that she would be dropped from the Squad if she didn't earn a 3.0 grade average. Deborah took this as a personal challenge and with an earnestness to succeed (and not willing to be defeated), she earned a 3.5 GPA, making in on the Dean's List. And by the end of that year, she was also elected Home Coming Queen and befriended by young men and women from affluent Orange County families.

Thaddeus Williams is convinced that social justice is one of the most epic and age-defining controversies facing the 21st-century church. In this episode Thaddeus chats with Matt about his new book, Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth, bringing biblical faithfulness and timely clarity to issues such as racism, Black Lives Matter, Intersectionality, and Critical Race Theory. By distinguishing 'Social Justice A' (biblically required and socially necessary) from 'Social Justice B' (our culture's present definition), Thaddeus shows us that while Social Justice B contains some truth, it represents a completely different worldview. This may be the most important episode you listen to this year. *Warning: Deep thoughts not guaranteed. ABOUT: THADDEUS WILLIAMS Thaddeus Williams loves enlarging students' understanding and enjoyment of Jesus at Biola University in La Mirada, CA, where he serves as assistant professor of Systematic Theology for Talbot School of Theology. He has also taught Philosophy and Literature at Saddleback College, Jurisprudence at Trinity Law School, and as a lecturer in Worldview Studies at L'Abri Fellowships in Switzerland and Holland, and Ethics for Blackstone Legal Fellowship the Federalist Society in Washington D.C. His latest book, Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth is the subject of this episode.

"Everyone is an artist. Everyone is a scientist," says Saddleback College Dance Department chair Deidre Cavazzi. Her work reflects that interconnectivity. Deidre is a choreographer, dancer and Founder/Artistic Director of Orange County-based modern dance company Architexture Dance. And she is also a marine scientist, multimedia creator, photographer and general creative researcher. Her passion for exploring the connections between science and art have led to some highly intriguing creative work. (Want a great read? Take a look at her blog about "Exploring Landscape and Storytelling in Iceland". But be sure you have a hot cup of tea and a blanket nearby--you will feel the freezing rain and cold temperature as Deidre takes you with her!) Neuroscience, physics and mathematical concepts have all inspired some of Deidre's recent dance projects. And as she mentioned during her December presentation at the virtual California STEAM Symposium, she recruits numerous Saddleback College departments as on-campus collaborators. In addition, participating students aren't necessarily dance majors. They can come from any discipline--and can learn more about their subjects through dance. Deidre talked about the background that led to her sense of wonder and discovery, offered a look at the creative process behind Saddleback College's all-virtual multimedia project "Signals and Circuits", and gave a preview of what's coming next! On this edition of Over Coffee® we cover: The multidisciplinary background that first interested Deidre in both art and science; How Deidre first decided to reach out to other departments at Saddleback College for interdisciplinary projects; A look at separate performances Deidre created, based on physics and mathematics concepts; Some inspiration sources Deidre recommends for other creatives; One of Deidre's favorite creative lessons during a trip to the Arctic with other artists and scientists; An environmental "find" that shocked Deidre and her fellow artists--and led to a powerful new performance; What works for Deidre, in translating her experiences to multimedia for her audiences; How Deidre, her students and her colleagues collaborated remotely to create their all-virtual piece, "Signals and Circuits" A look at Saddleback College's upcoming dance program, created remotely with Zoom and green screen; Some of the isolation-related innovations which Deidre expects to carry forward, post-pandemic; A look at what Deidre is currently exploring for a future collaboration!; Where to find Saddleback College's spring dance collaborations when posted; A preview of an exciting upcoming collaboration, scheduled to originate in Galway, Ireland
In Episode 22, I was joined by Mayuki who is originally from Japan and is currently living in Southern California. She was a foreign exchange student in High School and experienced living the high school life in the Central Valley. She details the differences between life here and in Japan. One of the main aspects she mentions is the norms of society and school. With full support of her family she has been able to finish schooling at Saddleback College and is now working full time. Mayuki hopes to receive a sponsor to prolong her visa and stay in California as much as possible. She even jokes about how she is forgetting some of her native language because she is totally immersed in the American lifestyle. She embraces this country's diversity and the melting pot cultures.

Cole Hersch (writer, Podcast But Outside) joins the show with one of the earliest-in-life Block Tales we've had, as he got blocked by Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire, on AOL Instant Messenger when he was 11. It's a saga with many twists and turns and leaves us with a mystery that will need some experts to solve. The rest of the show leaves no mystery though, as the Blocked Boys are eager to shake off their good behaviour from last week and it gets wild early and often. The BBs start with some more Shark Tank/Dragons Den talk as Stefan pitches a new hangover cure and Cole pitches a new version of the show entirely, and that leads to a discussion of new condoms for different body parts. Cole then tells us the story of how he went viral pitching a new mascot to Saddleback College, John gets introduced to a cursed TikTok, and Stefan's social media update gets so intense it leads to a very special surprise at the end of the episode you won't wanna miss. If you want more fun surprises, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month.

“Sounds of the Silenced” uplifts and weaves together voices that have been oppressed – whether by circumstance of history, internal sentiment, or tragedy. Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges was a Black composer from the 18th century. He was quite successful when he was alive, however, given that Mozart and Haydn were among his contemporaries, history did little justice to his prominence. Dimitri Shostakovich's eight-string quartet was dedicated to the victims of fascism and war. This work is at the center of a very complicated puzzle of Shostakovich’s life. Throughout his life it was believed that Shostakovich was a supporter of the Soviet regime, but to everyone’s surprise a revealing and controversial book – ‘Testimony’ (published four years after his passing) – depicts the composer as a closest dissident. This book revealed that this string quartet was instead a biographical work that expressed the most obscure struggles in the life of the composer. Webster Gadbois’ moving piece was inspired by Tahlequah, the Puget Sound J-pod Orca that publicly grieved for 17 days following the passage of her newborn calf. SEVENTEEN DAYS BY WEBSTER GADBOIS INSTRUMENTATION: 8 CELLOS PERFORMED AND RECORDED BY LASZLO MEZO COMPOSER’S NOTES BY WEBSTER GADBOIS In the summer of 2018, the southern J-pod of orcas residing in Washington states’ Puget Sound gave birth to a calf for the first time in years. 30 minutes later, the calf died of malnutrition. The mother, who has been given the name Tahlequah, proceeded to mourn the dead calf by carrying it around with her for the next seventeen days. This level of mourning is unprecedented in orcas, and the story made international headlines. The J-pod’s primary food source is Chinook salmon, which are endangered due to overfishing. This piece’s primary goal is to catalogue the tour of grief that the J-pod experienced throughout this time, with Tahlequah acting as the centerpiece. The central idea presented at the beginning of the piece initially serves as a beacon of hope for the J-pod, as it represents continued life in the face of starvation. As the calf dies, however, this idea becomes warped into a strained cry of grief, as the pod mourns the loss as a collective. As the music becomes more frantic and primal, the central idea becomes more focused on Tahlequah herself, and her refusal to let go of the calf. After a climax of suffering, the pod delivers one last eulogy, as Tahlequah learns to let go of the calf mentally, as well as physically. The piece concludes as the story concludes: with Tahlequah dropping the calf into oblivion as the pod moves on from mourning to mating with other pods. As a postscript to this tragic tale, Tahlequah is a mother again. The Orca and her calf were documented in September 2020 near the San Juan Islands. WEBSTER GADBOIS – COMPOSER Composer and improviser Webster Gadbois has sought to explore creative methods of communicating the impact climate change has had on the planet. This has led him to write music about wild orcas in his hometown of Bainbridge Island, Washington. In addition to environmental motivation, Gadbois’s work centers around collaboration with artists in visual mediums, such as dancers and filmmakers. Holding a Bachelor of Music degree from Rice University and a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School, he is committed to the creation of work intended to foster a childlike sense of discovery and to increase dialogue around social change. LASZLO MEZO – CELLO Born in Budapest, Hungary, Laszlo Mezo gained national recognition as one of the top musicians of his generation at the young age of 18. He forged a career as a soloist, recitalist, master teacher, and chamber musician, has performed extensively in Europe, Asia, and North and South America, and is currently a professor in cello at Chapman University and Saddleback College in California. He is a sought after soloist, and an active studio musician in Hollywood, having played in many film scores, including Star Wars, Ice Age, Life of Pi, Wolverine, and The Lone Ranger. His first CD is a recording of Dávid Popper’s works, and his second, “Made in Paris,” includes romantic cello pieces from the 19th century. BAINBRIDGE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA QUARTET PATRICIA STRANGE, FIRST VIOLIN Pat is a performer of traditional and contemporary violin literature and has performed throughout the US and Europe. She received a Bachelor of Music degree from Calif. State University Fullerton and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Calif. San Diego. Before moving to Bainbridge Island in 2001 she held the position of Principle Second violin with the San Jose Symphony. She is currently the Concertmaster of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, founder and director of Bridges; A String Orchestra and has frequently performed with Ovation! Performing Arts Northwest and BPA’s musical theatre productions. “Being in quarantine as a musician has been difficult. I’ve found it hard to have the motivation to practice alone. I really miss not being able to rehearse in person with my music community here on Bainbridge Island, whether it’s in orchestra, chamber music or musical theater performances. The Bainbridge Pod Accomplice is a wonderful project allowing us to make music again.” PEGGY BRADY – SECOND VIOLIN Peggy Brady, violinist, studied at the Universität für Musik and darstellende Kunst in Vienna and Arizona State University in the 70’s. She has been a member of the first violin section of the Phoenix Symphony, the violin section of the Göttinger Symphonie Orchester, the Braunschweig Staatsoper Orchestra, Principal Second Violin and Assistant Concertmaster of the Napa Valley Symphony and Principal Second Violin of the Marin Symphony. In 2004 she founded the Eloquence String Quartet and Trio of Napa Valley. The group is now in high demand for weddings and vineyard events throughout Napa and Sonoma. Soon to become a full time resident of Bainbridge Island, Peggy is enjoying a new musical project called “Olympic Serenade” – playing chamber music with other members of the Bainbridge Island Symphony. “A highlight for me during this pandemic has been providing outdoor musical therapy for ourselves, neighbors, and friends. We have been meeting on my large open driveway on Sunday afternoons to play chamber music. The neighbors are invited to come and enjoy the music while they sip a glass of wine. Our conductor Mario has joined us several times on viola. It’s been my favorite part of the summer.” MARIO ALEJANDRO TORRES – VIOLA Mario Alejandro Torres is a conductor, teacher, and performer native to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Currently based in Seattle, Washington, Mr. Torres made his Benaroya Hall conducting debut in collaboration with Maestros Ludovic Morlot and David Alexander Rahbee in an exciting concert with the University of Washington Symphony Orchestra. For the past two years, he has served in a conducting fellowship with the Seattle Symphony, assisting Maestro Morlot in collaboration with artists such as Hilary Hahn and John Luther Adams. As the former Music Director of Poulsbo Community Orchestra, he brought a new and exciting sound to the ensemble. Outside of the United States, he has conducted performances with the Eddy Snijders Orchestra in Paramaribo, Suriname, and in his hometown with the professional Chamber Orchestra of San Pedro Sula, and Victoriano Lopez School of Music Choir. “Bainbridge Performing Arts has been a very special place to me by virtue of its unique position to highlight and welcome artists, creators, writers, and more – each coming from different backgrounds and perspectives in life. This key diversity nurtures a very special community, as it does our beautiful Bainbridge Island. As Music Director of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra it has been an incredible pleasure to follow those steps, and that is why I am very excited to present ‘Sounds of the Silence,’ the first October episode of BPA’s Bainbridge Pod Accomplice!” ARLAYNE ESEMAN – CELLO Arlayne took her first cello lessons from Marcia Treend in 9th grade. A year later, she began studying with Thaddeus Markiewicz, assistant principal cellist with the Detroit Symphony, and continued with him until earning her Masters in Cello Performance. While in college, she performed in some Motown recordings and played in the pickup orchestras for Paul Anka and Sammy Davis (what an entertainer). In 2013, Arlayne retired as a “computer geek” and moved to Bainbridge Island, where she auditioned for the symphony and made many wonderful friends. In 2015, she started playing in local ensembles as well as musicals performed on the island. “It is not uncommon that I am performing up to 12 nights a month. I think that is a pretty good life. During shelter in place, my biggest accomplishment is not killing my husband. Being a basic introvert (yes, really), I enjoy being home. Typically, I play Sudoku, read about WW2 code breakers, and sew for my family or myself. When the weather permits, I take my cello out on my condo deck and play unaccompanied cello for my neighbors. So far, no one is complaining.”

Each of these six RVT's has a unique story to share; which is fitting and should be encouraging to others who want to work in this field. There is not just one path that you have to take to obtain success. And the stories these ladies tell is not representative even of the only paths one can take, either. We are sure there are plenty of others out there who would also have their own unique tale to tell. We should start by stating that our ultimate goal with any employee that comes to us without previous experience is to have them work their way up our version of the corporate ladder. That means starting as a kennel attendant: that gives us the opportunity to observe their work ethic and for them to learn about things like: pet behaviors, proper restraint for treatments and services, medications and how to properly administer some of them and what our hospital’s unique culture is and how to not only work within that culture, but to be a positive contributor to it, as well. Successful kennel attendants have the opportunity given to them to move into our reception team. Whereas the work in kennel is 90% focused on animal-related issues, that gets flipped in reception to 90% working with those pets’ human owners. The work and tasks that got touched on previously, are now more fully saturating their knowledge-base in reception, as these staff members have to effectively communicate so many situations and topics to our clients. For those who want to make the subsequent move into our treatment area, their communication and knowledge skills are thoroughly analyzed before they are able to be looked at for that move. Our hospital prides itself on “practicing what we preach” with this recipe for success. Currently, 4 people in our treatment staff worked previously in reception at APCC and 4 worked in kennel. Out of our 8 receptionists, 4 of them previously worked in kennel. We absolutely feel the benefits of this experience within our hospital. That extends not only to each individual’s level of knowledge with a myriad of things, but also with how well our staff works together… which is of the utmost importance to our success. Amanda, the first person you hear from in this episode, started at our hospital as a 17 year old, still attending high school, as a part time kennel attendant. Amanda was actually one of the very few who got asked to become one of our treatment staff members without spending any time as a receptionist. She spent about 2 years working in treatment before she started going to school to further her abilities here. Kaitlin came to us as an experienced technician from another local hospital. She knew during her senior year in high school that this was what she wanted to do. Following time at Saddleback College, she started working at a local veterinary hospital before she enrolled in a specialty school and took her state and national tests to become an RVT. Hunter came to our hospital from working in clothing retail and made the jump to working as part of our kennel team. It didn’t take long for everyone to recognize her superior customer service skills and she moved into reception. Hunter was one of those people who got moved as a tremendous member of the reception team into the treatment team. She spent roughly 3 years as a technician before she completed her schooling and passed her tests to become an official RVT. Cristie’s path was completely unique in comparison to the others here. She actually went to Saddleback and transferred to Cal Poly Pomona and obtained her bachelor’s degree in animal health science. While she was at Cal Poly Pomona, she completed 4 separate internships in animal hospitals. Independently, she took the state and national tests following that and became a Registered Veterinary Technician prior to becoming part of the APCC team. Lauren also has a very unique path unlike her fellow RVT’s. We met Lauren as she inquired about completing her internship for a local veterinary university. She was welcomed into APCC to complete her required hours as an unpaid intern. During that time, the feeling of wanting to take our working relationship with Lauren to the next level was mutual. We hired her immediately following her graduation and shortly thereafter, she took and passed her tests to become an RVT. Samantha rounds out our conversations on the podcast, fittingly. She is the longest running member of the hospital staff, outside of the Owner, Dr. Wheaton. Samantha was hired as a receptionist way back in the summer of 2005. She had already “paid her dues” as a kennel person, having worked at a grooming facility during her high school years. It wasn’t long before Samantha was forcing the conversation to look at moving her into the treatment team, based on her desire to be a technician as well as her overall fantastic work ethic and ability to work well with everyone: staff and clients alike. Nothing has changed since her move to treatment: Samantha remains an excellent example of what Alicia Pet Care Center has always stood for in its core values: providing the absolute best care for our patients while being extremely dedicated to assisting in the education of our clients on the how’s and why’s of our doctors’ plans for treatment.
Craig "Burnie" Burns, OC Gaffer interviews Film industry professionals above and below the line.
Outrageous: Some colleges have banned posters of 9/11 because they show Radical Islamists perpetrating terrorism and they don’t want to hurt Muslims’ feelings!? This is unbelievable, but true. The Radical Islamists should have thought about not hurting Muslims’ feelings before they flew planes into the World Trade Center. Ripon College, in Wisconsin, for example, has allowed their ‘college bias team’ to rule that 9/11 ‘Never Forget’ posters are “inflammatory and unacceptable.” School officials told members of Young America’s Foundation that the posters focus “relentlessly on one religious organization… associating that one religious identity with terrorist attacks,” creating an environment in which “students from a Muslim background would feel singled out” or “harassed.” This is not the first time that colleges have reacted negatively to students wanting to honor the victims of 9/11. A professor at Saddleback College, in 2016, tore down the posters and ripped them up. Not only is this disrespectful to the victims of 9/11 and their families, but it also perpetuates a culture of denial - teaching students that the threat of terrorism no longer exists. Just this past week, it was reported that a U.S. drone strike may have killed Ibrahim Hasan al-Asiri, al-Qaeda’s chief bomb maker. Yet, even if these reports are true, there are still countless bomb makers that Asiri has taught over the years, who will carry on his legacy. So, we must ’Never Forget’ that the terrorism threat is not dead.
n this episode Eric interviews Kris Leppien-Christensen from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, CA. Kris tells the story of the best job he ever had was the one he did not get, and we learn about how his MSW and three years on the job with intense writing helped him succeed in his I/O doctoral program. Then the conversation turns to his national service, including WPA, PT@CC, CABE, and Psi Beta. But don't forget about his vast experiences on cruises, and stay tuned for that story he tells at the end.
Shira Strongin lives with multiple physical issues but doctors can't seem to put their fingers on them all. She has some gene mutations that make her one-in-a-million but she's been "undiagnosed" for years. She started a blog, writing under the pen name Sick Chick when she was just 11 years old. So many women and girls related to it that it has now become an international organization called Sick Chicks - a support network of strong, chronically ill and disabled young women who choose to make a positive difference in the world. Offering a platform for girls to express themselves, a community for girls to connect with others, and structure to empower girls to be active in their schools or cities, The Sick Chicks is helping change lives! Sick Chicks is hosting its first summit on August 4 at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California. The topic will be “Sisterhood and Sexuality.” Fore more info and to purchase tickets, click here.
Greg Horvath resides in Los Angeles, CA, and is a nationally respected motivational speaker, author and producer. For 15 years he's traveled the globe sharing his story of perseverance and overcoming adversity. He views the world through the lens that anyone can build a life they are proud to lead. Because of Greg's incredible story of overcoming adversity to play college football at age 38, (click here for more info) and his passion to share it, he has become a much sought after motivational speaker. His love of film, which he discovered while studying Communication Arts at Saddleback College, has made him an award winning filmmaker. The Business of Recovery is the third feature film Greg has produced. Unfinished Business was considered for a Canadian Gemini Award and Hope for the Broken Contender won the American Express People’s Choice Award at the Calgary International Film Festival. Greg is very passionate about The Business of Recovery, a story he felt compelled to tell. Michelle sat down for a controversial and enlightening interview with the producer of The Business of Recovery, Greg Horvath. Greg struggled with alcohol as a young man, but he overcame his addiction and decided to give back by working in the addiction treatment industry for over 10 years. During this time, he discovered the outdated and questionable treatment recovering addicts were receiving. He's made it his mission to shed light on this $35 billion industry and invoke change for the way addiction is treated by speaking out and making a thought-provoking documentary that was just featured on HBO last Sunday. We encourage you to listen (without judgment) to what Greg has to say. We understand this might ruffle some feathers but we think Greg's message is an important one to hear.
Aryia is most known for being the star behind the YouTube channel “Simple Sexy Stupid” which has grown to 967k+ subscribers with 144 Million overall views where he interviews woman about relationships, sex and their perspective on specific topics. As he slowly steps away from the channel he’s beginning to put all of his time and energy into his music career which has been his safe haven ever since he was a kid. Raised in Orange County, CA kids would make fun of him for his name, religion and the way he dressed. Moving away to San Jose, CA in 7th grade gave him a fresh restart until 2 years later he moved back to the O.C. and was back to square one. After coming across the YouTube channel “Simple Pickup” he was inspired to start his own and really started to gain confidence in himself because of it. With his parents wanting him to get a degree from higher education he went on to spend 3 months at Saddleback College before going full-time as a creative. In this episode Aryia discusses creating his alter ego “Ashton”, if he could tell his younger self one piece of advice what it would be, allowing yourself to be curious and try things out, people view confidence as an armor that you “have” to put on when that’s not the case, wanting to save the world by giving back and ignoring any and all negativity. — You can follow Aryia here: Instagram: @BadBoyWolfy (https://www.instagram.com/badboywolfy/) Twitter: @BadBoyWolfy (https://twitter.com/badboywolfy) YouTube: @PapiWolfy (https://www.youtube.com/user/SimplyAryia) YouTube: @SimpleSexyStupid (https://www.youtube.com/user/SimpleSexyStupid) Spotify: Aryia (https://open.spotify.com/artist/3pWE3vAZ06uBBPsmguhCz2?si=CWpifoQXRCetS4qQIB69PA) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm

Born and raised in Orange County, California, Eric Zuley played basketball in high school. After studying marketing and communications at Saddleback College, he worked in sales and built up his savings. One night, while socializing with some friends, Eric saw free-styling rapping for the first time. EZ got bit by the “free-style” bug. With the help of his father Jim Zuley, Eric built a music recording studio inside their home. He taught himself how to engineer from scratch and produce music as well as write songs. Performing locally in Orange County, his band merged into a popular group called MCO. Aptly named, MCO stood for McOlogy, the study of MC’s. Later, Eric became a Radio DJ for X-Radio.biz with his friend Aaron Ervin, now known as TKO and a co-host of Good Game Guys, a show about the ins and outs of gaming. From his MCO experience, Eric met a music and TV producer, who gave EZ his first shot at hosting on the Red Carpet and on TV.
