Ask Ava, Ep. 257: Do victims share a responsibility for their assault because of the clothes they wear or the situations they put themselves in? NO! Assault only happens because the assaulter chooses to commit the assault. This question is an example of victim-blaming, and makes it harder for survivors to get the support they need. We believe survivors! Learn more on today's episode of the Ask Ava podcast. If you or someone you know need help, call and text our 24/7 helpline at 866-685-1122.

As the holiday season is here, we wanted to touch on what trauma means for children - and even adults - during this time of year. Cory Matthew, the Program Director from Middle Earth in Somerset County, NJ, talked to us about being more trauma informed. Plus, what is the best way for us to reach children, especially during this time of year when families get together and when there are people celebrating?  How can we best reach these kids? 

On Friday's AOA, powered by Cenex Premium Diesel, we start the show by having a conversation with Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) about his recent op-ed in Newsweek where he compared President Trump's trade agenda against current Harris-Biden Administration policies impacting farmers, ranchers and rural America. In Segment Two, we have a conversation about the tightening cattle supply and how the Charolais breed is uniquely positioned to offer a terminal cross to help offset an expected 700,000 calf shortfall in 2025. We talk with American International Charolais Association Executive Vice President, Brett Spader.   Then we close the show in Segments 3 and 4 with our November Farmer/Rancher Roundtable. We discuss elections, Farm Bill, climate smart practices, the ag economy and more. This month we are joined by Tom Croner from Somerset County, Pennsylvania and John Burk from Bay City, Michigan for our discussion.

fWotD Episode 2466: Somerset County Cricket Club in 1891 Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Sunday, 4 February 2024 is Somerset County Cricket Club in 1891.In the 1891 English cricket season, Somerset County Cricket Club returned to first-class cricket after a five-year absence. They competed in the County Championship, which had been established the previous year, for the first time. Somerset began the season poorly, drawing one and losing two of their opening three fixtures, after which there were some comments in the press questioning whether the club deserved to be playing first-class cricket. A victory over Kent in their next game shifted opinion in their favour, and another win later in the season over Surrey, who won the County Championship in both 1890 and 1891, gained them further plaudits. Overall, Somerset won five, lost six and drew one of their County Championship matches, and finished fifth in the table, level with Kent.The Somerset team predominantly consisted of amateur batsmen, supported by two professional bowlers. Lionel Palairet led Somerset's batting in terms of both runs and average during the County Championship season, scoring 560 runs at an average of 31.11, and was also the only Somerset player to score a century during 1891. Somerset's professional bowlers, George Nichols and Ted Tyler, along with an amateur all-rounder, Sammy Woods, did almost all of the bowling for the county; Woods led the bowling tables with 72 wickets at an average of 17.08.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:42 UTC on Sunday, 4 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Somerset County Cricket Club in 1891 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kendra Standard.

(Original airdate: Dec. 5, 2023.) Climate change, driven by human activity, has upset the balance of ecosystems and natural processes the world over. In the Chesapeake Bay, changes to the natural environment that usually occur over hundreds or thousands of years are taking place in the span of a lifetime. Sea-level rise is causing salty ocean water to crawl farther and farther into the bay and onto nearby coastlands. Jeremy Cox is a Chesapeake Bay Journal staff writer who has written about saltwater intrusion. Some of the oldest farmland in the country is on the Delmarva peninsula, and threatened by eroding coast lands and saltwater. Bob Fitzgerald lives on the Eastern Shore in Somerset County.

Today is the first day of spring, and many dairy famers are already preparing for their spring planting and cropping cycle. In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Shawn Saylor of Hillcrest Saylor Dairy Farms in Somerset County, Pennsylvania talks about his unique, regenerative approach to caring for their 680-cow herd and 1,500 acres. From cover cropping and planting green to drone technology and auto steering with precision planting, Shawn shares which pieces of technology were feasible for his business and why others weren't the right fit. He also describes the methane digester he designed himself – and how certain climate-smart strategies can equate to increased profitability on dairy farms.

New Jersey and true crime... they seem very much linked.

It's the Hall-Mills case, a Somerset County murder involving some New Brunswick high society elites, a sensationalized trial, and of course the mysterious PIG WOMAN.Joe Pompeo has just released the book BLOOD & INK all about the case and its historical significance, and it was an honor to talk with him about this case, its impact, and of course, Grease Trucks.This episode is sponsored by our friends at GRIT REFINERY, who are making the coolest concrete furniture and also insane art pieces.

From Frank Loyd Wright to Buffalo Bill, a lengthy discussion about the beautiful Southwestern Pennsylvania autumns, and one of the best views on any hike I've taken. Come along with GO Laurel Highlands Director of public relations and community outreach Eric Knopsnyder and myself on the Wolf Rocks Trail at the Laurel Summit State Park in Somerset County.

Zach Fronio and Andrew Parisi were a devastating punch for Rutgers Prep last year, with Fronio pitching to a sub-2 ERA and throwing well in big games and Parisi hitting 11 bombs and driving in a state-best 54 runs.

From January 25, 2022: In this bonus episode of Chatter, David Priess talks with professor and author Marita Sturken about 9/11-related memorials, museums, and architecture. Her research and writings have examined everything from visual culture to the connection between memory and consumerism, with much of her recent work addressing memory of the attacks on September 11, 2001, as both the battleground and the site for negotiations of national identity.In this conversation, they talked briefly about various historical memorials and the purposes of such work before comparing and contrasting the 9/11 memorials around the country and those at Ground Zero, next to the Pentagon, and in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. They also discussed controversies surrounding the National September 11 Memorial Museum (commonly called the "9/11 museum"), including those about its gift shop and about human remains currently in the facility.Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.

Welcome to May 16, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate living history and a legacy of barbecue. In a country with as much history as Great Britain, you'd think the oldest thing there would be some sort of ruin. But oddly enough, there's a tree in Somerset County that outdates just about anything else in England—even Stonehenge. The Ashbrittle Yew has been around for over 3,000 years and was very important to the Ancient Celts. There is a burial mound beneath the tree that, according to legend, is the final resting place for the heads of invading Roman soldiers. Today, the tree is still going strong in the churchyard of the St. John the Baptist parish. On National Love a Tree Day, celebrate the natural world that will probably outlive us all. When you walk through the door of Floyd & Company Real Pit Barbecue, the smell of smoke triggers your appetite. Bubba Floyd left Tennessee and headed West with his family eventually landing in Kingman, Arizona. Like all transplants, he discovered a longing for home that was satisfied by building the Red Neck's Southern Pit BBQ trailer. Now there is a permanent home that carries the Floyd name along with “& Company,” which stands for all the folks who supported them these past 18 years. When you sample the perfectly smoked meats and sides that taste like family recipes you'll understand why. On National Barbecue Day, follow your nose to Kingman Arizona and discover a place that feels like home.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Sept. 11, 2001 was one of the darkest days in United States history, but out of that terrible event has grown numerous memorials to heroism, bravery and patriotism, such as the September 11 National Memorial Trail. Once complete, the 1,300-mile path will connect Washington D.C., Somerset County Pennsylvania and New York City using existing and new infrastructure. One stretch of the future trail is partially built outside of Garrett, Somerset County, and on this episode Jeff McCauley, 9/11 Trail director of trail development, and Somerset County Parks and Trails Director Lyndsay Pyle give me a tour of that area. www.911trail.org

Ed Root joins Tim to talk about the people and the groups who have dedicated their lives to remembering the people and the lessons of 9/11.  Ed is a cousin of flight attendant Lorraine Bay, who was aboard United Flight 93 when it crashed into a field on September 11, 2001. Since then, Ed has been an active member of a group called, “Families of Flight 93.” Ed has dedicated much of his life to since that day. From September 12th until today, that story and the work involved can be summed up in two words, “Never forget.” This episode is part of our special series, "9/11: A Generation Removed." https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Never_Forget_at_20.mp3 The stories of September 11th 2001 number in the thousands. There were the victims, the heroes, the first responders, the people from Air Traffic Control towers, to emergency dispatchers and people in Washington. There were leaders, decision-makers, and family members. The ripple effect of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was huge, and if you're paying attention, it's still happening to this day, 20 years later. But for as powerful and broad as those attacks had on America on that day, it was the next day that a whole new set of stories would begin. The little-known stories of people who've decided we are not going to forget what happened. We are not going to forget those who died. We are not going to pretend this never happened. We will never forget. This is one of those stories. Ed Root is one of those people. About 9/11: A Generation Removed On September 11, 2021, America will mark the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the country that happened on September 11, 2001. In remembrance of the event, the Shaping Opinion podcast will release a series of nine distinct episodes centered on the 9/11 attacks, starting on Friday, September 3rd and culminating on the 20th Anniversary, September 11, 2021.  The series, entitled, “9/11: A Generation Removed,” will feature six new and original episodes for 2021, and three encore episodes, all based on the personal experiences of guests and stories of people who were there in New York, in Washington, D.C., and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
