Jeremy Ligon was brought on just in time for the 2021 harvest. Barrel Oak was purchased from its' previous owners and the new ownership wanted to up the quality of the wines from their Vineyard. In my opinion, Jeremy was a significant step up and his wines reflect that. In 2014 Jeremy was recognized as one of the new upcoming winemakers in Virginia as someone to keep an eye on. He has lived up to that from what I have tasted of his new wines from Barrel Oak.There is an intriguing story he relays as to why the previous ownership had planted their Norton vines in the vineyard and why. It turns out it has a connection to Dr. Daniel Norton, who propagated the Norton seedling in the early 1820's.Jeremy got his introduction to winegrowing in his early teens when his family planted a small vineyard in Southern Virginia. The rest is history.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast. For more information go to www.finewineconfidential.com

In a special edition guest presenter SCOTT BLACKBURN chats to HENRY WISE about his debut novel HOLY CITY*, MFA programmes, writing-working-family, begin with a million words. Available 6/4 in USA.HOLY CITY After a decade of exile precipitated by the tragic death of his mother, Will Seems returns home from Richmond to rural Southern Virginia, taking a job as deputy sheriff in a landscape given way to crime and defeat. Impoverished and abandoned, this remote land of tobacco plantations, razed forests, and boarded-up homes seems stuck in the past in a state that is trying to forget its complex history and move on.Will's efforts to go about his life are wrecked when a mysterious, brutal homicide claims the life of an old friend, Tom Janders, forcing Will to face the true impetus for his return: not to honor his mother's memory, but to pay a debt to a Black friend who, in an act of selfless courage years ago, protected Will and suffered permanent disfigurement for it.Meanwhile, a man Will knows to be innocent is arrested for Tom's murder, and despite Will's pleas, his boss seems all too content to wrap up the case and move on. Will must weigh his personal guilt against his public duty when the local Black community hires Bennico Watts, an unpredictable private detective from Richmond, to help him find the real killer. It would seem an ideal pairing--she has experience, along with plenty of sand, and Will is privy to the details of the case--but it doesn't take long for either to realize they much prefer to operate alone.Bennico and Will clash as they each defend their untraditional ways on a wild ride that wends deep into the Snakefoot, an underworld wilderness that for hundreds of years has functioned as a hideout for outcasts--the forgotten and neglected and abused--leaving us enmeshed in the tangled history of a region and its people that leaves no one innocent, no one free, nothing sacred.Henry Wise is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and the University of Mississippi MFA program.

Hey, Pathfinders! Surprise Friday episode, anyone? We thought we'd shake things up a bit and bring you some bonus travel content to fuel your wanderlust. Not sure what to call it yet or how often we'll do these, but we're excited to add a little extra travel talk to your lives, straight from our adventures. But first, let's kick things off with a quote that really resonated with us from our recent chat with Jeremy from the RV Atlas.   Quote of the Week "It's about getting outside for me... making memories with my family. It is not about the features of the RV." This quote got us thinking about prioritizing experiences over material possessions, whether it's choosing an RV or making any big purchase in life. Every dollar saved means more opportunities to explore new places and create lasting memories. So before splurging on fancy features, ask yourself if they align with your travel goals or if you're just buying into the hype. Learning from Personal Experiences Take it from our own experiences, like the time I bought a flashy truck fresh out of college, only to realize later it wasn't the smartest financial move. It's easy to get caught up in the allure of new gadgets or bigger, better things, but often, simplicity reigns supreme. Whether it's a vehicle, a home, or even just everyday purchases, consider the long-term impact on your finances and travel aspirations. Our Southern Adventure: North Bend Park Upgrade Speaking of travel, let's dive into our latest adventure down south to the Florida Keys. Currently, we're situated in Raleigh, North Carolina, catching up with family while we get some work done. But before that, we scored a sweet campsite upgrade at North Bend Park in Southern Virginia. How we did it? Hope asked the park staff at check in if there were any better sites available. We lucked out with a waterfront spot overlooking a serene cove, perfect for fishing and soaking in those sunrise views. Best of all, it cost us nothing more!

So we decided to add another segment to our show, not sure entirely what it's gonna be called or how often these little Friday extras are gonna be, but we figured it's a great way to add a little extra travel content to your lives with some helpful details from our lives to help you reach your travel goals. And who knows, maybe at the end of this segment, we will reveal our guest for next Monday and we can keep that our little Friday secret. I wanted to start by sharing one of our favorite quotes from the show earlier in the week with Jeremy from the RV Atlas, where he talked about choosing experiences over features when considering buying an RV. And I'll play that quote right now.   - It's about getting outside for me. For me, it's getting outside, making memories with my family. It is not about the features of the RV. And I say that as somebody, I love RVs. And a lot of times when you get a more expensive RV that has tons of features in it, you end up messing with them a lot or this doesn't work or that doesn't work. I have just really come to appreciate simple, basic, straightforward RVs that work well and are priced well. –   Now, one thing that resonated with me about that quote, and I think you can look at it both like it's implied with RVs, but also with everything you're buying in life in general. And listen, every time you can save a buck or save a dollar or more, travel's expensive, right? So if you can find ways to save here and there, that's more opportunity for you to travel and explore and get to the places you wanna get to. And every little bell and whistle and feature of these newer RVs, they add up, right? I think it was a great segment of that podcast where we just talked about, it's about getting outside. Once it's raining outside, we're really not spending time in RVs at all. We wanna be outside exploring, whether it's hiking trails, hanging out at the campground, exploring the towns we're visiting. And I related to that a lot about when you're at an RV dealership and all these new things have all these new, bigger, smarter things that you can do and features to your RVs. First of all, you're really not going to use them that much, right? I remember we had this swivel chair, and now currently I'm using it because we're traveling full-time and working on it, but originally bought our van to travel and vacation and to not work. And we wanted to just make this recreation vacation type thing. And we thought it was so cool how the seat swiveled backwards and we didn't use it once. So it's important to really think about, are you going to use these things? And Jeremy did a great job explaining that point, geared towards RVing, and when you're buying an RV, you can relate a lot of that to things in real life.   For instance, if you're buying a car, right? A lot of times, you work with your car, do you have a certain car or truck you wanna buy? And it reminded me of a time when I was graduating college, I wanted to buy this F-150. At 2013, at the time, it was three years old, it was my motivation to graduate college, right? And looking back on that, it was a terrible financial decision because I had graduated school, had nothing in my bank account, had to have my father co-sign my truck for me, and I had a $500 payment for a pickup truck. And when I didn't even need a pickup truck to begin with, I didn't have a job or wasn't doing anything that I needed a truck for, but I had this massive $500 payment I was paying each month because it was new, I liked it, I was a truck guy. And after about a month or so, that novelty wears off fast. Before long, I just viewed it as a truck, as a normal car, I didn't think anything much of it. Obviously the first few weeks, I'd raise the current, raise the blinds and look out at it, and I'd be so proud and happy the fact that I have it, but after a while, I was stuck with a payment, and I could have been just as happy driving a much older truck, a car that was much less expensive. And that reminded me, when Jeremy had mentioned that during our show, it kinda reminded me of that where you really need to consider long-term, especially if you're financing or buying really expensive things, how much of an impact is buying this extra piece or buying this extra fancy car going to have on you other than you paying more for it? And I saw the same thing a lot with real estate. When you're buying a house, I would always tell my clients now selling houses, you wanna offer what you can, but just because you can afford something bigger and better, it doesn't mean you need one, right? If you're listening to this podcast, you're trying to reach your travel goals. That's what we were trying to do for a while, and if you're listening to this podcast, you're trying to do the same thing, right? So in a lot of instances, I see people, they buy houses that all they're going to do after a while is fill rooms they're not using with stuff they don't need. They're paying extra heating costs, extra moving costs, extra costs for things that they don't need. All this money could be used for something else. Really ask yourself how much of that is it a need versus how much of it is you want to impress others or is it just a keeping up with the Jones type thing? Because like I said, I mean, travel is not cheap. Travel is expensive no matter what form of travel you're doing. The more money you can save, the more opportunity you have with travel. So just really think about those things before you buy anything really expensive because especially if you're financing those monthly payments, they do not go away for a long time. And picture yourself five, 10 years from now having that extra payment and really think about am I going to be using these extra features, these extra space, is this extra payment versus something I could get and have the same use for half the price, is it worth that extra? Again, not saying don't go after it but it's just something to really, really consider before you pull the trigger and make a purchase. So I wanted to share that a little bit because that kind of stuck to me.   So maybe we'll keep this a segment of the podcast kind of sharing our favorite quotes, things that resonated with us and putting our little twist and spin on it. I will fill you in currently. So right now, Hope and I were traveling south towards the Florida Keys. We're hunkered down in Raleigh, North Carolina right now, visiting family, getting some work done. A couple of things we've learned, some tips for your travels in the future. Always check in with the camp staff to figure out or to find out if there's any better sites available. So we had booked a site at the North Bend Park in Southern Virginia, had a site that was, it was pretty secluded in the woods, a smaller site. Hope had the really, really an idea of asking the park staff when we went to check in if there were any other better sites available. He gave us a few sites, said they were a little bit better than what we currently had. Nothing was really direct waterfront or anything like that, but they were basically a step up from what we had. So we decided to go check out those two other sites he gave us. The first site we saw, site number 196, huge, it was a big site and it had waterfront not overlooking the lake, but overlooking a cove in the lake, which was just perfectly fine for us. And the second we saw that we double checked, it was the right number that he had given us, we fired back to the main office. Thankfully, no one else had taken it yet. And we were moved to that site and we spent the next seven days, the next five days hunkered down there. It was a two-tiered site, so we backed the van in, had to walk a couple of steps down to this big landing where there was a picnic table, a grilling area, and then the entire back of the site just faced the water, was able to go fishing. And it was just really beautiful watching the sun rise right in front of us. We did drive back through the other part and looked at the site we had originally booked and that was really tucked away, no water views at all, heavily wooded, not entirely sure how our Starlink would have worked. That was our first time firing up Starlink as well and it worked great for us because we had it by the water, so there was an opening and it worked really fast. So have you been tuning into our podcast and everybody's been talking about how Starlink is great? We can have out for that. That was our week in North Bend National, or North Bend Park in Southern Virginia. And yeah, definitely when you're booking a site, always ask with the staff and figure out if there's any other better sites available.   And I do wanna remind you, but we do have a newsletter going around and what we just created was a step-by-step guide on the steps that Hope and I took to take a two-month long road trip. Now, if you want a copy of that, it's one PDF, we kept it nice and simple. It's just a step-by-step over the course of four years, things we did in our lives to be able to take a two-month long road trip vacation while having some passive income so we can make money while we were vacationing. Shoot us an email, go to our homepage at our website, you'll find our newsletter. Just fill out that, give us your email, and we'll send you a copy of that step-by-step guide. It's free. It's a great blueprint for someone looking to get into that right now. Now, I know four years can seem like a ways away. I mean, you could look at that and say four years, it was fast or four years, it took quite a long time. I mean, I know plenty of people that could have done that a lot quicker than us, and plenty of people that have not done that in the course of four years, right? It's a step-by-step guide, things we did. Yeah, check it out. It's the process we took to get where we are today, and we're happy to share it with you.   And if you have not already picked up a packet of Deliciaots, definitely, definitely check those things out. We've been consuming Delicioats for quite a while since our road trip in 2022, actually. They're super easy to make, and one of my favorite parts is there's no added sugar. They're tasty. It's basically just oatmeal in a pouch that you can pour water into, and you let it sit overnight. It's overnight oats, or if you wanna have it instantly, you can just pour some boiling water, cook it in the morning, or boil some water in the morning, pour it in the pouch, stir it up for a couple minutes, and then you're good to go. Fresh hot oatmeal. I'll put some in our smoothies, or sometimes in my yogurt, to give it some extra substance and flavor. But yeah, they are delicious, just like the name implies. Head on over to delishoats.com forward slash path, and use the code PATH at checkout to earn a discount.   But yeah, that about wraps it up today, guys. Let us know in the comments, or let us give us some feedback if you want to have these segments continued. We're happy to talk about our lives and kinda share things we learned along the way that have helped us travel, and ultimately our goal with this podcast and our website is to help you guys reach a travel goal. So if there's anything else you wanna talk about, drop us a message, give us an email. We're happy to chat about it.   And as promised, our next week guest coming up next Monday is gonna be Chris and Sarah. So they're from Chris and Sarah on YouTube, Chris and Sarah on Facebook, Chris and Sarah on Instagram, and chrisandsera.com, I believe. Really dynamic couple. They've been traveling for many, many years. All forms of travel. They've traveled Airbnb, van life, truck camper conversion.

As always, guys, if you wanna leave us a rating, interview, over on whatever podcast platform we're listening to, that would be very much appreciated. And until next time, you guys have a great weekend and we'll talk to you on Monday.  

In this episode, we chat with Allie Redshaw, a culinary artist, adventurer, and advocate for inclusivity. Allie grew up in Southern Virginia, but it was a trip to Paris that sparked her love for culinary. She found herself studying at the Culinary Institute of America before moving to Charlottesville Virginia with her husband. However, life took an unexpected turn on March 1, 2017, when a tragic accident resulted in the amputation of Allie's hand. Despite the devastating loss, her adventurous spirit remained undaunted through the overwhelming support of her community. In fact, it may have grown brighter when she picked up paraclimbing, immersing herself into the lifestyle. Allie didn't stop there though. She's the ultimate ambassador for varying nonprofits that are all about empowering others to experience the outdoors, no matter their ability.  If you've ever wondered how you can find the strength to ascend, even through the deepest adversities, or why it's never too late to find your community, then this one's for you!Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.

On tomorrow's Ag Business Episode, I am profiling a gentleman that I connected with through the hobby of pipe smoking.  That got me thinking about if I had ever profiled anyone on the show who grew tobacco, and I was so pleased to be reminded of this great interview with Lorrie Barron that I did two years ago.  In addition to so much more, they grow speciality tobacco on their farm in Southern Virginia, and I am thrilled to play their episode again.

It's Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day's wrestling scores and more. I am on the struggle bus realizing that my dad jokes and bad jokes might only be funny to … one of you. Anyway, I'm Jason Bryant and here's what you are catching up on for November 16. A wild crowd saw Division II Montevallo pick up the first home win in program history, a 27-16 triumph over NAIA Midway. Do yourself a favor, go to MontevalloW on Twitter and check out how boisterous the home crowd is. And remember folks, this is a first-year Division II program in ALABAMA. Montevallo is the first Division II program in Alabama since Jacksonville State, yes, it's in Alabama, dropped the sport as a Division II school in 1981. The only other option would be Troy, then known as Troy State, which fielded a program in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Mount Olive upended King 23-17 but we saw something we typically don't see in college wrestling and that's someone bump UP to get the ranked matchup rather than bump away. With Mount Olive holding a 14-9 lead after 165, King bumped up seventh-ranked Trent Mahoney to take on Mount Olive's seventh-ranked 174-pounder Calan Straub. Tied 5-5 after 1, Mahoney went up 8-5 in the second, but in the third, Straub earned the fall 43 seconds into the period in what turned out to be a crucial win for the Trojans. Heavyweight Jayln McClammy iced the dual with an 8-3 win at heavyweight for Mount Olive. Props for the move, it made for an exciting dual. 14th-ranked Pitt-Johnstown shutout East Stroudsburg 47-0 in PSAC competition. Ranked wins registered for the Mountain Cats by seventh-ranked Trevon Gray at 125 pounds, Jacob Ealy at 149 pounds, Dakoda Rogers at 197 and Isaiah Vance at 285 pounds. This also makes me feel quite old, because I covered Trevon Gray's father Teante in high school. He actually wrestled the best man in my wedding multiple times. Coach Pat Pecora picked up career coaching win nine billion. Belmont Abbey shutout undermanned Bluefield State 56-0. Too many forfeits here. The Green Mountain Championship went the way of Vermont State University-Castleton, which beat Norwich 50-6. No, this is NOT a new school. The school formerly known as Castleon University merged with Vermont Technical College and Northern Vermont University to create Vermont State University. So with the unification, the name we are supposed to refer to the old Castleton Spartans is now Vermont State University-Castleton. Not Vermont State-Castleton. Vermont State University-Castleton. Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont is the Green Mountain State. Wayne Campbell celebrates as Aurora, which you should know is in Illinios, beat Milwaukee School of Engineering, also known as MSOE, 32-20. Angel Jaimes' fall at 197 pounds sealed it for the host Spartans. No word if they have that Spartan Spirit as I cram TWO SNL references into one scoreline. Another traveling trophy was on the line as UW-Eau Claire spanked UW-Oshkosh … b'gosh … 49-6 to retain the Chancellor's Cup. Southern Virginia over Patrick & Henry 48-7. Those three old grouches in Buena Vista left happy. In the Keystone State, Delaware Valley beat York, the one in Pennsylvania 32-7. Top win for the Aggies was at 157 pounds where Nick DeLorezno knocked off 14th-ranked Jared Blair of York 6-3. The women's teams also squared off, with Delaware Valley winning there as well 36-8. In an all-Arkansas battle, Vinny Barber's University of the Ozarks Eagles topped Division II Ouachita Baptist 25-17 on the road in Arkadelphia on Wednesday. Props here goes to the squads for wrestling five extra bouts as well. In the NAIA, Grand View extended its win streak against NAIA competition to 157 in a row with a pair of shutout wins against Avila and Central Methodist in a tri-meet hosted at CMU. The Vikings beat Avila 56-0 and Central Methodist 50-0. The last time Grand View lost to an NAIA opponent came on January 16, 2011 against Lindenwood, which was then an NAIA squad. St. Ambrose handing out yet another heartbreaker as the Bees won for the second night in a row, this time topping William Penn 20-18. The night prior, they edged Graceland by a point. This time, it was three straight wins from 184-197 that lifted the Bees to the victory, with a key fall coming by Jayden Terronez at 174. Oklahoma Wesleyan picked up its first win of the season, topping Bethany, the one in Kansas, 41-12 in KCAC action. Rochester, (Mich.) beat Lourdes 24-18. Missouri Valley beat Benedictine (Kan.) 45-6. NJCAA Cowley beat Division II Newman 33-17 in Kansas. Also in Junior College action, Carl Albert State and Labette both beat Barton.

It's time for Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day in college wrestling. The only Division I dual of the night saw the Roger Kish era begin in his home state as the Oklahoma Sooners topped Central Michigan 29-11 in Mount Pleasant. Kish, a four-time state champion from Lapeer West saw a wave of transfers impact the victory, including All-American Stephen Buchanan at 197 pounds. Other new faces to earn wins were Jace Koelzer at 133 pounds, Cael Carlson at 165 pounds and Giuseppe Hoose at 184. The Chippewas did get solid victories from Corbyn Munson at 149, Johnny Lovett at 157 and one of the last of the Monarch Gang, Alex Cramer at 174. In Division II, top-ranked Lander shutout Limestone 48-0 in Greenwood, South Carolina on Thursday. In case you hadn't been paying attention, R.C. LaHaye has assembled a pretty formidable squad with the Lander Bearcats. All-Americans James Joplin, David Hunsberger and Juan Edmond-Holmes. Second-ranked West Liberty was also in action. The Hilltoppers got a scare from Mercyhurst as falls by top-ranked Ty McGeary at 184 and fourth-ranked Francesco Borsellino at 285 pushed West Liberty past the Lakers 24-20 in Erie. The top individual matchup went Mercyhurst's way as sixth-ranked Dillon Walker majored third-ranked and returning All-American Alec Cook 15-3 at 165. Out on the western slope, No. 22 Western Colorado used the third criteria, most match points, to edge No. 18 Nebraska-Kearney 21-20. The Mountaineers were led by returning All-Americans Patrick Allis at 133 pounds and Cole Hernandez at 174. Allis teched Hector Serratos, while Hernandez topped Jacobi Deal 12-6. The Lopers wrestled without all five of their preseason ranked wrestlers and reported the dual on their own website as their B team competing. Welp, it was still on the schedule … Northern State, which is in SOUTH Dakota topped Fort Hays State 35-6. Colorado School of Mines meat-wadded Otero Junior College 56-0. No, that's not a dig on Otero, just a nod to Mines' coach Austin DeVoe. In Division III, Fifth-ranked UW-La Crosse blanked UW-Oshkosh 59-0. The math says six falls, three forfeits and a technical fall. That's former Fargo champ Ben Kawczynski with the tech at 197, by the way. Cornell College dominated NAIA St. Ambrose 45-5. Elmhurst and Coach Steve Marianetti beat Augustana, the one in Illinois, 26-22. The Blue Jays got a win at heavyweight to pull that one out. Tenth-ranked Wabash topped Albion 25-10. All-American Charles Baczek earned a 3-0 victory over Owen McDaniel at 184 pounds. It's the Little Giants first dual win under new head coach Jake Fredericksen, who assumed the role after longtime coach Brian Anderson left for a gig at Indiana University. No. 12 Stevens Institute made the trip to Wisconsin and took down 8th-ranked UW-Eau Claire 19-16 down in La Crosse. This one hand a handful of ranked matchups, highlighted by a pair of All-Americans meeting at 174 pounds. Second-ranked Jared Stricker topped fourth-ranked Stefan Major 10-7 at 174 pounds. At 133, Eau Claire's top-ranked Tyler Fleetwood shutout 12th-ranked Luke Hoerle 5-0 and at 165, 15th-ranked Harrison Hinojosa of Stevens knocked off seventh-ranked Travis Massie 4-1 in sudden victory. In the CCIW, Carthage topped Concordia, the one in Wisconsin, 25-20. In case you're wondering, Carthage is also in Wisconsin. Kenosha to be exact. Seventh-ranked North Central beat Wheaton 47-6 for the program's 40th conference win in a row. In the NAIA, Southeastern, in Florida, picked up a 32-10 victory over the Bobcats of St. Thomas, which is also in Florida. You might remember the logo from that dude's shirt who won Big Brother. You know, the guy who paraded around the house banging pans. Yeah, that guy sucked. As far as people who don't suck, All-Americans Andreus Bond Gabe Jacobs were among the notable winners for the FIRE! FIRE! Speaking of things that are red, the Red Raiders of Northwestern College, the one in Iowa, beat the Beavers of Buena Vista 32-12. Rik Dahl, we say it almost every mention, they're the RED Raiders from Orange City, Iowa. This dual featured FIVE technical falls. I think the kids are liking the new takedown and nearfall rules. Lourdes beat Siena Heights 45-6. Graceland beat St. Mary 25-23. Southeast Community College, which is in Nebraska, beat Northeastern Junior College, which is in Colorado, 39-9 in junior college action. Not too much happening on the women's mats, but Alma College in Michigan hosted its first event as a new women's wrestling program. It didn't go the Scots way as they dropped matches to Northern Michigan 38-5 and Trine 29-20. Northern Michigan beat Trine 34-10. McKendree, ranked third among NCAA women's teams, topped Missouri Baptist, the 10th-ranked NAIA squad, 34-14. McKendree's Shelby Moore topped NAIA All-American Juliana Diaz 8-3 at 123 pounds. Emory & Henry beat Southern Virginia 31-19 and Bluefield State 38-11.

Colton James has always held a deep love for our country and abiding respect for those who serve in the military and first responder communities. Many of this country western artist's songs reflect those themes. “Our family was red, white and blue all the way.” Both of his grandfathers, five of his uncles and his brother served in the military. Colton himself almost signed up to be a fighter pilot but music took him down a different path.  He began performing Christian and Gospel music when he was four years old. He always remembers his grandmother's words; “A painter paints with a brush. A musician paints with his pen.” His most memorable performance was opening for Jason Aldean at the Norfolk Little Creek Amphibious Base. He performed “Brave Men”, his tribute to troops, before 16,000 fans and received a standing ovation. Colton is now leading an initiative to give back to those who serve by constructing a 15,000 square foot lodge in Southern Virginia. The Land 4 Heroes Lodge will provide space for military and first responder families to reconnect and relax in the great outdoors. Land 4 Heroes was inspired as Colton had the opportunity to perform before more military audiences. This led to his participation in a program that took patients at Walter Reed hospital out to camp, hunt and fish. The Land 4 Heroes Lodge will be the first of four lodges built around the country. Their builder is a 20 year Navy Veteran and disabled Veterans were consulted during the architectural design of the lodge, assuring that every element of the building can best accommodate everyone. Colton shares the different types of overwhelming support he has received for the project including contractors providing in-kind materials and services. His plans include continued collaboration with other organizations that provide support for military families. TAKEAWAY:  When asked what drives him to complete this project he said “I don't think Noah argued with God when he told him to build an ark.”

When Alan Page was a justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court he didn't decorate his chamber with Vikings memorabilia.  Instead, there was an old railroad sign on the wall that said “Colored Waiting Room.”  It was a constant and jarring reminder of Jim Crow era segregation. That sign is in the private collection of the Page family, along with thousands of other pieces of art and artifacts of slavery and segregation. Together, the objects tell the story of Black history — the ugly and the beautiful.   Justice Page and his late wife Diane Sims Page collected pieces for decades.  Many pieces are hateful, including an iron collar that locked slaves in bondage and a branding iron that marked human beings as someone's property. Other items are inspiring, like the painting of a jazz trio and a poster of Black runners competing in the 1972 Olympics.   In 2018, part of the collection was shared with the public in the exhibition “Testify: Americana from Slavery to Today.” Now the exhibit is returning to the Cargill Gallery at the Minneapolis Central Library, opening on February 1, along with a series of programs and events. Bianca Wilcox Former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and NFL Hall of Famer Alan Page (left), his daughter Georgi Page-Smith and his late wife Diane Sims Page at the exhibit "TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today". MPR News Host Angela Davis talks with former Justice Alan Page and his daughter Georgi Page-Smith about how they hope the exhibit will spark conversations about America's painful racist history and how we can address it.  Guests: Alan Page was a star defensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings in the 1970s who went on to serve 22 years as a justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Georgi Page-Smith is Alan Page's daughter and a marketing and communications professional based in Brooklyn. She's also director of the Diane and Alan Page Collection and has been deeply involved in bringing the “Testify” exhibit back to the public. Kerem Yücel | MPR News MPR News Host Angela Davis talks with Alan Page talks about how they hope the exhibit "TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today" will spark conversations about America's painful racist history. Here are six key moments from the conversation. The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity. Click the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. What do you remember about the beginning of the art collection? Alan Page: My late wife Diane is the heart and soul of it. She's the one that began it. She's the one that collected most of it. I got to go along for the ride. She had an incredible eye for the art and artifacts from our history. She started with an item here and an item there and started going to antique shops. We ended up finding things all over the country. In the beginning, there was no design or reason or rhyme to it all, but my wife would collect artifacts that struck her, that spoke to her sense of justice, fairness or unfairness. I opened the collection to the public because we live in a time when social justice and racial justice are at the forefront. We thought it was important for people to understand and see where we've come from. Georgi Page-Smith: In the beginning, I was not pleased, I was uncomfortable. I think the pieces are uncomfortable for a lot of people, but then it's important to go beyond that. It took me a while to see that important part of my context and our story. We had a very open floor plan for a modern home. I loved it, it was very contemporary. Then at some point, little things started appearing like figurines and tchotchkes. That's how I viewed it then. There's always another layer to the story and I wasn't seeing it because I didn't want to be part of that conversation. Tell us about the return of the exhibit in Minnesota Georgi Page-Smith: It's identical to the exhibit that we did in 2018, there have been some discoveries since then. It is free and there is a pop-up version that will be displayed in the Main St. Cloud Library in St. Cloud, Minn. and then within that regional library system, they're going to travel it around. However, the main exhibit will be located at the Cargill Gallery at the Minneapolis Central Library. It is the perfect location, it's very accessible and open to the public. You enter the gallery, and you'll see a greeting from our family. Then you'll see the White House brick that was made by enslaved people as part of the construction of the White House. Then you'll come in and you'll see the Lincoln banner, and then at some point, you'll come to a wall with a Jim Crow era sign on it. We decided to give people the opportunity to experience that moment of segregation and separation. As it continues, there's a section devoted to labor, and a section devoted to home. There are objects of oppression and objects of expression. These are fundamental pieces of our country and its history. Alan Page: The Abraham Lincoln banner is made of fabric, it is maybe two and a half feet wide by roughly three feet tall on a pole, with what he calls a pig oil lamp on top. We were told that it was from the funeral in 1865, but it may have been from 1864 as part of his campaign for reelection. On one side, it says “Uncle Abe, we will not forget you” and on the other side, it says, “our country shall be one country”. That saying for me sets out the hope that there was at the time of the Civil War. It's the hope that we haven't fulfilled today. This object is from that time period and when you are in its presence it is palpable. Steve Karnowski | AP 2018 Alan Page, NFL Hall of Famer and retired Minnesota Supreme Court justice, looks at a display which is among the artifacts of slavery and segregation collected by Page and his wife, Diane Sims Page. Your collection has a lot of signs from the Jim Crow era of segregation. What does it represent to you? Alan Page: I had a number of them there. We also had a fantastic picture of a scene from the entrance of a bus. Looking at the back of the bus, you could see that the white people were allowed to sit and the African Americans were required to sit. It made it clear to me that the law has not always been fair, and those artifacts were a constant reminder that my obligation to serve on the court was to ensure fairness for everyone. No matter who they were, their circumstances, the color of their skin, their gender, their preferences, or what part of the state they came from, everyone was entitled to a just result. What was the response to the exhibition from people in 2018?  Georgi Page-Smith: It was overwhelming. We had no idea how great the response would be, or how many people would turn out. It was a record-breaking success for the Cargill gallery. But more than that, people were moved. We had a book made by a Hasidic bookbinder in New York that was open for people to write their reflections. We got so many great stories, some of which ended up online. But also, as we watched people go through the exhibit, we saw a lot of people shaking their heads in disbelief. We've heard about these things in our history books and in school, but it's a much different thing to actually be in the realm and be in the presence of a shackle that was actually placed around a child's neck. Alan Page: Part of our hope in doing the exhibit back in 2018 was to generate conversation, and to move people to action. From almost the very beginning, on the days that Diane was down in the gallery, people would come up and talk about their memories. A lot of people who grew up in Minnesota had heard about many of these things but never experienced them. Having found themselves in the room with objects from that era, gave them a new understanding, and the sense that they had a role to play in. The name of the exhibit is Testify, and this was a place where people could testify in real-time, as they were viewing the exhibit. Why was ‘testify' chosen as the appropriate name for the exhibit?  Georgi Page-Smith: Originally, the exhibit had a different location, and they were still looking for a name. I suggested different things, but then at one point, I had been listening to the song “Testify” by Common, and that word really stuck in my head. As we developed the thoughts about the exhibit, I suggested we call it “testify” because of both of my dad's time on the court and also thinking about the black church. I've been lucky enough to attend the church over the course of years, and you see and feel the power of someone testifying and telling their story and how they came through. I also thought it was a way to invite everyone into the conversation. Tell us about the upcoming series of community events with the exhibition Georgi Page-Smith: We're calling it “Testify Tuesdays” and it's a series of workshops in partnership with a local group called Change narrative. Josefina Harris is an amazing facilitator, who has worked on a national level and we've brought her on board along with the ACLU of Minnesota and a loft literary center. They are all going to be facilitating these workshops every week. Seven out of the eight weeks will be at the library and one of the weeks will be virtual because there was a scheduling conflict. These will be workshops to coach and support people in developing their stories in the service of advocacy. For whatever purpose or initiative or cause that they feel is relevant to them. We want to help them develop their voice and tell their story to elected officials. There will be a group facilitating the workshop, then every individual who participates in the workshop will be given some prompts, and then the workshop facilitators will help them come up with some prompts that might tell their story. Alan Page: At the end of the day, it's giving people a voice to testify and to express themselves. In the courtroom, for instance, you come in, you're sworn in, and you tell your story. This is the same thing only it helps people learn how to tell their story in whatever context they want to tell it. One thing we should be very clear about, there is no particular agenda to this, the subject matter is individual. Your stories related to race Listeners called into the show and shared their stories. Here are a couple of them. Grandmother and grandsons aim to discover family history I was at the 2018 showing and I couldn't believe some of the pieces that were there. It really showed the brutality and the inhumanity. I look forward to going through the exhibit again so I can see other parts that may be that hope. It was horrific and shocking but I'm so grateful that there is a collection for us to see. I've been raising three grandsons who are reaching young adulthood, who are Black, and I would love this next time to be able to take them to see it. I believe there's a very good chance that there was slavery in their history, we haven't found a way to find that out yet. Our family came from the south and I'm just wondering how they got there. — Brenda from Woodbury Man remembers a racist experience in South VA. My whole family was raised in Milwaukee, Wis. During that period, we weren't aware of what was happening. Then my dad got transferred down to Southern Virginia. I was three years old. When my grandma came down to visit, she wanted to take me back home on the train, while sitting in the train station I still vividly remember a lit-up sign above a doorway of a separate room. I kept asking my grandma: What's that word say? because at age three you don't know how to read, and she kept trying to avoid it. She finally just yelled out: “it just says colored”, and I said: “well, what's colored?” Because I thought colored meant to take your crayons and color something. But then she said: “hush-hush, just hush”. I don't think she wanted to tell me the real reason at that young age, and I'm glad she didn't. — Terry from St. Louis Park Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

There's always another layer to the story and I wasn't seeing it because I didn't want to be part of that conversation.Tell us about the return of the exhibit in MinnesotaGeorgi Page-Smith: It's identical to the exhibit that we did in 2018, there have been some discoveries since then. It is free and there is a pop-up version that will be displayed in the Main St. Cloud Library in St. Cloud, Minn. and then within that regional library system, they're going to travel it around. However, the main exhibit will be located at the Cargill Gallery at the Minneapolis Central Library. It is the perfect location, it's very accessible and open to the public. You enter the gallery, and you'll see a greeting from our family. Then you'll see the White House brick that was made by enslaved people as part of the construction of the White House. Then you'll come in and you'll see the Lincoln banner, and then at some point, you'll come to a wall with a Jim Crow era sign on it. We decided to give people the opportunity to experience that moment of segregation and separation. As it continues, there's a section devoted to labor, and a section devoted to home. There are objects of oppression and objects of expression. These are fundamental pieces of our country and its history.Alan Page: The Abraham Lincoln banner is made of fabric, it is maybe two and a half feet wide by roughly three feet tall on a pole, with what he calls a pig oil lamp on top. We were told that it was from the funeral in 1865, but it may have been from 1864 as part of his campaign for reelection. On one side, it says “Uncle Abe, we will not forget you” and on the other side, it says, “our country shall be one country”. That saying for me sets out the hope that there was at the time of the Civil War. It's the hope that we haven't fulfilled today. This object is from that time period and when you are in its presence it is palpable.Your collection has a lot of signs from the Jim Crow era of segregation. What does it represent to you?Alan Page: I had a number of them there. We also had a fantastic picture of a scene from the entrance of a bus. Looking at the back of the bus, you could see that the white people were allowed to sit and the African Americans were required to sit. It made it clear to me that the law has not always been fair, and those artifacts were a constant reminder that my obligation to serve on the court was to ensure fairness for everyone. No matter who they were, their circumstances, the color of their skin, their gender, their preferences, or what part of the state they came from, everyone was entitled to a just result.What was the response to the exhibition from people in 2018? Georgi Page-Smith: It was overwhelming. We had no idea how great the response would be, or how many people would turn out. It was a record-breaking success for the Cargill gallery. But more than that, people were moved. We had a book made by a Hasidic bookbinder in New York that was open for people to write their reflections. We got so many great stories, some of which ended up online. But also, as we watched people go through the exhibit, we saw a lot of people shaking their heads in disbelief. We've heard about these things in our history books and in school, but it's a much different thing to actually be in the realm and be in the presence of a shackle that was actually placed around a child's neck.Alan Page: Part of our hope in doing the exhibit back in 2018 was to generate conversation, and to move people to action. From almost the very beginning, on the days that Diane was down in the gallery, people would come up and talk about their memories. A lot of people who grew up in Minnesota had heard about many of these things but never experienced them. Having found themselves in the room with objects from that era, gave them a new understanding, and the sense that they had a role to play in. The name of the exhibit is Testify, and this was a place where people could testify in real-time, as they were viewing the exhibit.Why was ‘testify' chosen as the appropriate name for the exhibit? Georgi Page-Smith: Originally, the exhibit had a different location, and they were still looking for a name. I suggested different things, but then at one point, I had been listening to the song “Testify” by Common, and that word really stuck in my head. As we developed the thoughts about the exhibit, I suggested we call it “testify” because of both of my dad's time on the court and also thinking about the black church. I've been lucky enough to attend the church over the course of years, and you see and feel the power of someone testifying and telling their story and how they came through. I also thought it was a way to invite everyone into the conversation.Tell us about the upcoming series of community events with the exhibitionGeorgi Page-Smith: We're calling it “Testify Tuesdays” and it's a series of workshops in partnership with a local group called Change Narrative. Josthna Harris is an amazing facilitator, who has worked on a national level and we've brought her on board along with the ACLU of Minnesota and the Loft Literary Center. They are all going to be facilitating these workshops every week. Seven out of the eight weeks will be at the library and one of the weeks will be virtual because there was a scheduling conflict.These will be workshops to coach and support people in developing their stories in the service of advocacy. For whatever purpose or initiative or cause that they feel is relevant to them. We want to help them develop their voice and tell their story to elected officials. There will be a group facilitating the workshop, then every individual who participates in the workshop will be given some prompts, and then the workshop facilitators will help them come up with some prompts that might tell their story.Alan Page: At the end of the day, it's giving people a voice to testify and to express themselves. In the courtroom, for instance, you come in, you're sworn in, and you tell your story. This is the same thing only it helps people learn how to tell their story in whatever context they want to tell it. One thing we should be very clear about, there is no particular agenda to this, the subject matter is individual.Your stories related to raceListeners called into the show and shared their stories. Here are a couple of them.Grandmother and grandsons aim to discover family historyI was at the 2018 showing and I couldn't believe some of the pieces that were there. It really showed the brutality and the inhumanity. I look forward to going through the exhibit again so I can see other parts that may be that hope. It was horrific and shocking but I'm so grateful that there is a collection for us to see. I've been raising three grandsons who are reaching young adulthood, who are Black, and I would love this next time to be able to take them to see it. I believe there's a very good chance that there was slavery in their history, we haven't found a way to find that out yet. Our family came from the south and I'm just wondering how they got there.— Brenda from WoodburyMan remembers a racist experience in South VA.My whole family was raised in Milwaukee, Wis. During that period, we weren't aware of what was happening. Then my dad got transferred down to Southern Virginia. I was three years old. When my grandma came down to visit, she wanted to take me back home on the train, while sitting in the train station I still vividly remember a lit-up sign above a doorway of a separate room. I kept asking my grandma: What's that word say? because at age three you don't know how to read, and she kept trying to avoid it. She finally just yelled out: “it just says colored”, and I said: “well, what's colored?” Because I thought colored meant to take your crayons and color something. But then she said: “hush-hush, just hush”. I don't think she wanted to tell me the real reason at that young age, and I'm glad she didn't.— Terry from St. Louis ParkSubscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

"So my craft is something that I call the contemplative process of candle making. The process of getting here or the route to getting to this place is a bit long and winded so I'll try to make it as brief as possible. I was an artsy kid, I was born in the bustling metropolis of Danville, Virginia. That's a huge laugh line for your listeners. It's not a bustling metropolis, but it's Southern Virginia right on the North Carolina border, and had a wonderful childhood. However, there wasn't an affirming environment for an artsy kind of kid growing up in rural Virginia in the south. So I kind of left those longings except for music and those desires kind of along the way as I grew older and couldn't imagine a life for myself as an artist or as a maker. But still had this longing. I would literally be driving in my car as an adult and I would look at my hands and say, I'm supposed to be doing something with my hands. I would have just kind of this inner knowing and you know, I used to play piano for churches, I used to draw and make paintings and do all kinds of artsy stuff, but just got older and just got farther and farther away from that. Long story short, about six years ago, I was in a department store and the candle section is always the first section that I go to because candles have been a part of my content. My writing process, my meditation process, my unwinding process for as long as I can remember. So went to the candle section picked up a candle and I don't tell everyone this because some folks may turn their heads a little bit. But I literally heard a voice that said, you can make this, and making a candle was nowhere on my radar. But as clear as I can hear my voice, I heard that voice and I went home like a madman and got on Google and "googled" -- how to make a candle. And, you know, watch tons of videos, I went to Barnes and Noble and scrounged around for books and got a few candle making supplies and ordered some things online and made some things for myself and friends and family and said, hey, you know, what do you think about this, and didn't know what I was going to do with it, but knew that I wanted to be a maker and knew that I wanted to do something with my hands. So just it was just itching to come out of me.," said Kendal Brown, owner and founder of 228 Grant Street Candle Co.Kendal was continually searching for something to do with his hands and stumbled upon the craft of candlemaking. His studio and storefront are in the heart of Baltimore off of 228 Grant Street. The scents within his collection remind him of memories with his grandmother, she was quite the baker and canner. There was always something on the stove or in the freezer that could be magically put together for sustaining nourishment at his grandmother's. Her front porch served as a neighborhood therapy office. Candlemaking was quite the fit for Kendal with his upbringing in mind.Tune in to learn more about Kendal's journey building 228 Grant Street Candle Co. You can learn more about his business by heading over to their website and visiting their Facebook and Instagram.Also, tune in to the end to listen to Deanna Bogart, the featured musician of the episode.

When I think of Virginia, so many things spring to mind - history, green pastures, beef, mountains, rivers, etc., etc.  I also think of thunderstorms, humidity and lazy evenings beating the heat on a front porch.  I realize that so many of the images that come to mind for me are concoctions of things I have read in books, seen on television or looked at in paintings, but for today's guest I think it is all true. Lorrie Barron and her husband, David, have been farming in Southern Virginia since they got married in 1982.  They love the agricultural lifestyle, and they will do what is necessary to continue it.  This includes offering a wide variety of entrepreneurial services to people in their community ranging from cake baking to sheet rocking to barn building t0 painting.  They also are very innovative in looking for ways to improve their farm through grants and new methods.  And, they are not afraid to be involved in multiple different aspects of agriculture to find niche markets and keep revenue flowing to the farm.

Tropical Storm Ida made landfall near Mobile, Alabama during the morning hours of November 10, 2009. According to the U.S. Minerals Management Service, about 30 percent of oil production in the Gulf was shut down on the 9 as Ida neared the Gulf Coast. Port Alabama, AL reported a wind gust of 62 mph while West Mobile, Al and Destin, FL had wind gusts of 43 mph as Ida came ashore. Soaking rain from Ida spread from Alabama into Southern Virginia and the Carolina's. The following are some daily rainfall records were set. But the biggest impact occurred because of those shutdown oil rigs causing the price of oil to spike for the next week or so as gasoline prices soared. Learn more about your ad choices.

Desireé Gorbea-Finalet is a person with Type 1 Narcolepsy and a student of Peace and Conflict Studies.  In this episode, Claire and Desireé discuss how because she was labeled as a “good sleeper” as a young child that it may have contributed to a delayed diagnosis. Growing up in Puerto Rico, her family had a history of migraines so when she sought out help her doctors and neurologists focused on the migraines rather than her excessive daytime sleepiness.  Despite struggling with excessive daytime sleepiness, Desireé was always super productive during her wakefulness. She participated in extracurricular activities and completed both high school and her undergrad within three years. In 2017, after the destructive effects of Hurricane Maria, Desireé came to the States. Since coming to the States she has been able to receive better narcolepsy care and get plugged into a local support group. Desireé encourages everyone to listen to their bodies and intuition and to not give up advocating for yourself until you find out what is “wrong” with your body.  You can follow Desireé @uniboricua on Instagram. She recommends the following Facebook groups -- Foothills Narcolepsy Support Group (Specifically for individuals living in North-Western North Carolina and Southern Virginia), Narcolepsy Humor, and Narcolepsy Support Group.

So much going on with spring births on the homestead. And abandoned lamb was the immediate task to take care of today. A quick trip to town to get supplies and now I’m late getting to this podcast. That’s what it’s all about on the homestead. I have so much to share with you today and most of it is so much fun!! I want to take a minute and say welcome to all the new listeners and welcome back to the veteran homestead-loving regulars who stop by the FarmCast for every episode. I appreciate you all so much. I’m so excited to share with you what’s going on at the homestead this week. As I said there is a lot of it and all relates to spring births. Our Virginia Homestead Life Updates Before getting to that abandoned lamb, let’s start with the garden and the birthing of new plants. Spring Garden If you are new to gardening perhaps you are not familiar with the terms spring garden, summer garden, and fall garden. Spring is the time of year to plant crops that thrive in cool weather. Some can thrive in the heat, like maybe potatoes. But most spring garden plants require cool temperatures. Things like lettuce and spinach will simply give up and go to seed if it gets too hot. Other things like root crops will just not grow in the heat. Their growth stalls and there is nothing to do for it but try again in the fall when the weather cools off again. This spring we are planting two kinds of peas, snap peas and shelling peas. Shelling peas are those green peas that you buy frozen or canned. Snap peas are best for salads and such. They are eaten pod and all, though they can be shelled as well. But the pods are sweet and crisp. I’m not going to plant potatoes this spring although Scott did dig up the potatoes that we had left in the ground over the winter. They were just starting to sprout and grow again. Really, we should have had them out of the ground a week or so ago before they sprouted. Fortunately, there are not tons of them. We will be able to eat them before they get soft. In the normal course of planting, I would have planted some of them for a new crop. I have enough potatoes and will forgo them this spring. Perhaps in the fall. I have yellow, red and white onion sets to plant. Onions make bulbs according to the amount of light they need. There are short season, mid-season and long season varieties. Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and other northern states can grow those long season varieties. During the height of summer, the hours of daylight are significantly higher than we get in Southern Virginia. And farther south from us, only the short season varieties will grow. The farther south you get, the more equal the day and night hours become. While far in the northern States like Alaska, they have sunlight nearly 24 hours at the height of summer. Of course, it is dark for nearly 24 hours in the winter also. Strange place, Alaska. I was there twice. Once near the spring equinox and the days and nights were fairly equal. But the second time I was there in July, just past the summer solstice. The sun was still up at midnight. It dipped below the horizon for about 3 hours and then daylight began to show once again. It happened in Germany also. I was there in August and it was daylight past 11:00 pm and the sun was back up long before I got up in the morning. So that’s the story of onions. The rest of the garden will get planted in May. That will be the green beans, herbs and crowder peas. The 500 strawberry roots are all planted and looking great. Leaves are visible on almost all of them. The beds look fantastic. Scott did a great job there. That bank of strawberries will also have four sections of culinary herbs. I already have a good stand of thyme and oregano. Inside I have started more rosemary as it didn’t do so well last year and I just let it go over the winter. It can survive the winter but needs protection. It did so poorly that I just decided to start over this year. And just today I got some garden sage seeds to fill in that fourth section in between the strawberries. The blueberries and blackberries are leafing out. The blueberries will bloom soon and we will have berries around the first or second week of June. The blackberries will be ready in mid-July. On to the cows. Cows and Calves Last time I talked with you, we had one calf. Now we have three. Rosie, our new Jersey heifer gave birth to Princess. Then Cloud gave birth to Winston. And finally, Claire gave to birth to a, yet unnamed, bull calf. No one has had any trouble so far, knock on wood. Butter and Violet have a bit of time to go before giving birth, Late May and early June respectively. Now to the fun part of the cow story. Rosie, though she is her first calf, was giving about 2 ½ gallons of milk per day. We were estimating in the beginning because Princess was getting her share so we guessed about how much she was drinking. We were getting about a gallon and a half in the beginning and guessed Princess was getting about a gallon a day. Well, it didn’t take long and we were getting a gallon a day – and then a few days later, a half-gallon or even less. Princess was getting it all. At this point, we would normally separate momma and baby and control the amount of milk baby is getting. Calves need about a gallon or so of milk to grow strongly. Certainly not two gallons. But they will drink everything they can if you let them. Take a beef cow for instance. Those calves are never going to get more than a gallon or so a day because that is all momma is going to make. But the dairy cows make lots and lots of milk and the calves simply don’t need that much. So what were we to do. We came up with a very good plan. During this time when the milk volume we were getting was diminishing rapidly, Cloud had given birth. We cannot milk Cloud anymore. About mid-season last year, something spooked her and she began kicking the milking inflations off. Then she began kicking more and Scott got quite a few bruises and even a really badly sprained thumb from her kicks. We had to stop milking her. We thought we might try again this year if she perhaps had calmed down a bit. No luck there. We had her walking into the stanchion before she even gave birth, just getting her used to coming in and getting a little treat. They all get this training. It makes it easy to work with them for just about any vet treatment. Anyway, she got startled again by something and started kicking and we weren’t even trying to touch her udders. That answered that question. Cloud would not be milked this year either. This is also a dilemma on a homestead. Every animal needs to have a purpose. Her purpose was to have a calf every year and to be milked. Now half of her purpose was eliminated. That means she has become more of a cost than a benefit. And even though we love all of our milk cows, we simply cannot afford to have any of them as pets. They must cover their own expenses at the very least. And of course, we really need them to provide some income. Otherwise, we are using our precious time to maintain a cow that is not giving much in return. This year, she got a reprieve. We figured out how she could pull her own weight. She could become a nurse cow. Separating a calf from mom is normally a loud experience for three days. However, we separated Princess from Rosie and began grafting her onto Cloud. Princess was happy with the arrangement. Rosie was not. She still moos at Princess all the time. Princess ignores her and has since the second day. A cow will sometimes easily take on another calf. In fact, we have had issues in the past with calves nursing on any cow in the area. Our Normande cows are pretty willing to let anyone nurse. Cloud was not quite so willing as Claire and Buttercup, but we were confident she would eventually accept Princess as her own. We put Princess in with Cloud and Winston. And we had them separate from the rest of the crew for the exact reason I just described. We didn’t want Winston browsing around and finding milk beyond Cloud. Anyway, each day we bring all three up to the milking shed. Cloud goes in the stanchion and her head is locked in. She can still see who is back there nursing and the first day, she kicked Princess off repeatedly. Princess is quite resourceful and persistent. She was hungry after all. It didn’t take long for her to figure out how to position herself so that Cloud could not reach her with her kicking. She would get almost right up underneath Cloud with her butt close up next to Cloud’s front legs and her body nearly underneath Cloud’s belly. Cloud is locked in the stanchion and can’t walk away. The first two days, Princess was voracious in nursing. We were relieved and confident that she would be fine. She was filling her belly at least once a day. The third day or fourth day, Princess did not persistently try to nurse. In fact, she was rather disinterested in nursing at all. That told us that she was getting at least some nursing in earlier in the day. As of yesterday, I did not see Cloud even push her away. At all. Princess was getting some milk with persistence in previous days. Now she is nursing whenever she wants. It’s a done deal. Cloud now has two calves. And we now have that full two and a half gallons of milk. A yesterday and today’s bonus is that Rosie all of a sudden started producing even more milk. We believe it is the warmer weather. She now gives us over three gallons every day. That is fantastic for a first year Jersey cow of her size. Remember, she is still quite small in stature. I can’t wait to see how Butter does this year. We are expecting in excess of five gallons a day from her as she is now a seasoned Jersey cow. Butter is as tall as any of the Normandes. She looked like a mini cow when we first got her, but she is definitely full grown now. That’s it for the cow stories. Now on to the quail. Quail Babies Just a brief tale here. We had 68 eggs in the incubator. There were 40 of those eggs that hatched. We lost three babies in the first day or so and now have 37 quail babies in the brooder. They are about 10 days old now and have nearly all of their feathers. In about 8 days, they will be fully feathered and strong enough to go out on their own. We will do our semi-annual deep cleaning of all of the quail cages just before we turn them out into the grow out cages. The breeder cages also get a deep cleaning during this time. We will sterilize and treat the cages for mites. They will all get fresh new sand in which to take baths and the automatic watering system will be started up again. The automatic waterers don’t work well in winter as the lines and water cups freeze over. Instead, I take fresh water out to the birds every day from late fall to late spring. So, the cycle of birds is in motion. I’ll keep you updated on each new batch of cute quail chicks. Sheep and Lambs The biggest spring birth story is the lambs. It would have been nice to have a 100% success rate like we achieved last year, but alas, we knew it was not likely. Lambs are delicate animals in the beginning. The first ewe’s lamb was born without a hitch. He is strong and healthy. The second ewe, not so much. She had a big beautiful boy and a very, very tiny girl. The girl was born an hour or so later and we suspect that she was in the birth canal too long and was oxygen deprived. She passed within a couple of hours. She was never able to get up. We only have four ewes giving birth this year and I thought perhaps that would be the only issue. Unfortunately, that was not the case. This story has a better ending. I had to rush into town to get colostrum for an abandoned lamb. In all of our 11 years of raising sheep and lambs, this was the first abandoned lamb that we had. Well, Lambert was close to being abandoned. That was two years ago. He was small and one of three. The other two were getting all the milk and we ended up bottle feeding him. Today’s spring birth of lambs was, again, twins. But the ewe never touched the second lamb. Right after milking this morning I went out to check on the ewe because I could tell she had given birth. I had looked out the window and I could see the one up and running around. He was already dry. But she was laying down and straining again, so I thought another was on the way. And perhaps she was having an issue as the other was already standing up quite strongly and dried off. I feared a repeat of the previous situation where the lamb was damaged in the long birthing process. Nope, not this time. When I got out there the lamb was born and was actually standing up. She was significantly smaller than her brother, but still quite strong. She was as wet as she could be and still standing strong. I could tell that mom had not licked her at all. Who knows why it happens? But it does happen. Mom just rejects one of the lambs, usually the second or third one. As I said, we have had lots of issues with lambing but this was first time we had experienced the complete abandoning of a lamb. I tried rubbing the birthing fluid that was still on the new one onto the older one. Perhaps I could fool mom into accepting both as hers. No luck. She simply ignored the other lamb. What to do? What to do? We quickly put all three in a smaller enclosure. We tied up mom and put baby girl underneath her and showed her where to nurse. While this little girl was strong, she seemed to have no clue as to how to nurse. Finding the correct location was no issue, but latching on was not going well. We fiddled with her for about an hour before giving up and deciding that we were just not going to be able to get her to nurse. And even if we did, mom was going to push her away, or walk away and leave her behind. She had already done that. When I first arrived, she took her boy and moved away from me. I brought the girl up to the boy and laid them together. Mom approached as a I walked away. She sniffed and licked the boy and completely ignored the girl. Then she walked away again with her boy in tow, abandoning the girl. So, what happens when a lamb is abandoned? Well, we have to get colostrum into her within 24 hours. If you ladies out there have children you know what I mean when I say colostrum. Or if you have your own homestead you will know what I’m talking about here. For those of you still considering and learning, colostrum, not milk, is created for about three days or so. In sheep it contains lots of protein and a higher amount of fat than other species. The fat is important for lambs. The other really, really important part of colostrum is it contains the antibodies for common ruminant diseases. Lambs, kids, and calves can survive without it, but their chances of getting sick and dying due to lack of the antibodies to fight the infection is very, very high. All newly birthed ruminant animals need that colostrum for survival. On top of that, the ability to absorb the antibodies declines quickly after 24 hours. Therefore, it is imperative that the newborns get that colostrum immediately. Once we made the decision to bottle feed the new lamb, we now needed the supplies. We have never really kept lamb colostrum on hand since we reduced our flock to a half dozen ewes. We picked the best moms and we’ve never had an abandoned lamb, as I said. I was aware that this stuff can be hard to come by for lambs. All kinds of calf colostrum which will do in a pinch. But the lambs really need the extra fat. That means I had to get on the phone and find some ASAP. The closest Tractor Supply that had some was an hour away. No problem, put everything else on hold, get in the car and make the trip. I got back with the goods, fixed up a bottle for her and she drank it down in a couple of minutes. She is a really strong lamb and I think she will do fine. The other thing I needed to find was lamb milk replacer. Again, this formula needs to be made for lambs. The fat content of ewe’s milk is very high compared to cows or even goats. Fortunately, the Tractor Supply store that had the colostrum also had the lamb milk replacer. Phew. I got it all done. I feel pretty good about this little girl’s chances of survival. It was as flurry of activity, but that’s pretty normal for homestead life in the spring. There is one more ewe still to give birth. Praying all goes well for her. Final Thoughts That’s about all I have time for in this podcast. It’s time to go bring up Cloud and make sure once again that Princess is being fed properly and we need to give Cloud some calorie treats daily as she needs to supply milk for two calves. I’ll feed and water the baby quail and get another bottle of colostrum ready for the ewe lamb. She will get fed at least three times a day for a few days. Then it will drop to twice a day for at least two months. It’s all in a days work on the homestead.

Branden Wilson (2G, 2A), Tyler Bradbury (1G, 3A) and Jack Barron (2G, 1A) led the Utes. Box Score | Recap | Video. When Utah announced going NCAA D-I, it was exciting to think about a Utah/Denver rivalry but let's be honest; the Utah/Air Force rivalry fits the rivalry mold much better for the time being. The Utes face Loyola next Saturday. BYU went to Colorado and faced Adams State on Friday and CSU-Pueblo on Saturday. The Cougars beat the Grizzlies, 15-1, while taking down the Thunderwolves 18-5. Here's the 2021 schedule for BYU:UVU took to the road and beat Concordia, 10-7. The Wolverines will head to Colorado for games against Adams State and CSU-Pueblo this weekend. The MCLA released its plan for something resembling a postseason this year. I think it's easy for most of us in Utah to think things are somewhat back to normal but when dealing with a nationwide organization, it's not so simple. Enter the 2021 MCLA Invitational. This sums it up: I had a thought the other day; does a shortened season last year with no season or no meaningful season this year help or hinder a players desire to play? Let's say you were a Freshman in college in 2019 at an MCLA school. You rode the bench or maybe got a little playing time. Last year, as a Sophomore, your team played 3 games and you saw no time before your season was cancelled. This year, you are a Junior in school but still a Sophomore in eligibility. Your team isn't playing or doesn't want to go to the MCLA Invitational. Does this make you want to play your Senior season more or less? Will teams be younger overall next year? What do you think? Utahns AbroadRyan Baker (Juan Diego) had 3 groundballs on defense for Bryant in a 14-8 loss to Stony Brook.Logann Eldredge (Herriman) had 4 goals and 3 assists against Kent State on Friday. Bubba Fairman (Brighton) had 1 goal and a groundball for Maryland in a 20-9 win over Michigan. Zack Franckowiak (Corner Canyon) had a groundball for Rutgers in a 11-9 upset over Penn State. Several Utahns featured in the Southern Virginia 21-16 loss to Hampden-Sydney. Box Score | Video - Tennison Schmidt (Brighton) had 6 goals and 1 assist. Chandler Wescott (Bountiful/BYU) had 4 goals and 3 assists. Dalon Hampshire (Bountiful/BYU) had 18 saves.

Tropical Storm Ida made landfall near Mobile, Alabama during the morning hours of November 10, 2009. According to the U.S. Minerals Management Service, about 30 percent of oil production in the Gulf was shut down on the 9 as Ida neared the Gulf Coast. Port Alabama, AL reported a wind gust of 62 mph while West Mobile, Al and Destin, FL had wind gusts of 43 mph as Ida came ashore. Soaking rain from Ida spread from Alabama into Southern Virginia and the Carolina’s. The following are some daily rainfall records were set. But the biggest impact occurred because of those shutdown oil rigs causing the price of oil to spike for the next week or so as gasoline prices soared. Learn more about your ad choices.

During this episode, host Dan Lesniak speaks with Taylor and Ivo Pereira about their parallel real estate and site development businesses. Learn how this power couple operates multiple businesses, where they've identified opportunities for growth, and how they create value for their customers. Episode Highlights:  Taylor Pereira worked in the home remodeling industry and saw potential in becoming a real estate agent four years ago. Ivo Pereira works in construction. He does site development and has one of the fastest growing trucking companies in Northern Virginia. Many of the clients Ivo works with, when doing teardowns in Arlington, are also clients of Taylor's. They are currently pursuing more off-market deals. In site development you have land and want to put a building there. They prepare the land for construction and remove excess dirt. Ivo fell into site development via the trucking industry. Machines are very expensive. They own over a million dollars of equipment. That's an investment they put towards building their business. Stormwater management and stormwater mandates have become more important, so Ivo decided to dig deep into this topic. Being a one-stop shop helps control the schedule and the business.  They've limited the scope of the geographical areas they work in so they can prioritize quality service. A lot of people overcommit and then provide low quality work. When Taylor first started in real estate she didn't understand the process so she worked with a high-volume team. After 2.5 years on a team, she knew she could do it on her own and doubled her volume. Teams help you earn credibility as a new agent.  When people wanted dirt at their homes, Ivo would ask them why. He would then send the lead to Taylor. They tried signs and doorknocking, but once they got more involved in the industry they found texting and cold-calling worked well to find off-market leads Do your own research on the correct and legal way to text leads. They don't wholesale or try to find off-market properties as hard in Northern Virginia. They do that work in Southern Virginia. Taylor advises new agents to just keep going. Ivo recommends seeking mentorship to save time and money. If you can't afford a book, go to the library, or check YouTube. Experienced agents should never stop learning and push forward. Ivo emphasizes the importance of networking.  Ivo says not firing fast enough was his biggest business mistake. Taylor reminds us that business is never easy. Taylor and Ivo share their exciting five year plan for building their business and inspiring others. 3 Key Points:   Site development involves preparing land for new construction.    If you're just starting out in real estate, joining a team will help you reach your goals faster.   Mentors will accelerate your growth. Read and learn what you can for free, then invest in paid mentoring.  Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Hyperfast Academy; HyperFast Coaching  Dan Lesniak bio, Facebook, Twitter  100 of Dan's best real estate tips  Ivo Pereira Facebook, Instagram Taylor Pereira Facebook, Instagram Taylor and Ivo Made for More podcast

Our guest this week can best be described as an all-round Virginia horsewoman. Pam Cibula believes in versatility in training horses to learn from the hunt field and adapt to the show ring or most any other question that’s asked of them.  Growing up near Charlottesville in Southern Virginia, Pam rode Welsh ponies and became competitive with her siblings which she carried into her professional career as a working horsewoman.  She trains horses to hunt, to develop confidence cross country and use their instincts to be foot perfect, to find their own stride and jump anything.  She learned how to ride side-saddle and together with her mare Fine Art they can be found handling tough conditions as one of 10 finalists in the 2019 Virginia Field Hunter Championships or turning on her show craft at the Upperville Colt & Horse Show. Pam explains why she believes horses should be able to do anything, and why she prefers the hunt field to the blue ribbon. For show notes and related links for this episode click HERE.

Canada takes this one in a landslide folks. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily recap of the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. What does Canada take? Well, as I checked into the Fallsview Marriott, I looked out the window to see the most glorious sight I’ve ever seen out of a hotel window at a wrestling event. Seriously, Wrestling Canada Lutte (you have to say Lutte) has at least made one person happy so far. By the way, it’s also not everyday you get picked up at the airport by an Olympic medalist. As far as picking up Olympic medalists, I’ve done that way more. Not quite like smoking fake pot with Peter Frampton, but you get the idea. Yes, a Mitch Hedberg reference.  Also, Niagara Brewing Company has some first-class stuff.  To the scores! Dual Meets:  Kentucky Wesleyan won its first dual in school history on Tuesday night. Well guess what, they have their first winning streak as the Panthers beat NAIA Thomas More 28-21to win the school’s second dual ever and second in a row. Kentucky Wesleyan stormed out to a 28-0 lead and put it in cruise control from there.  Mount Olive topped Lander 24-23 in a matchup of first year teams. With the dual on the line, Mount Olive’s Drew Weichers’ major decision at 157 pounds in the dual’s final bout was enough to give the Trojans the win, spoiling the dual debut of the Lander Bearcats.  In Division III, Westminster beat Fontbonne 31-18, Thiel beat Pitt-Bradford 50-6, while UW-Platteville beat UW-Stevens Point 25-15. Stevens Point’s Matt Berlin remained unbeaten at 13-0 with a fall at 133 pounds. Division III Millikin, ranked No. 18, beat Lincoln, which is in its first year active as an NAIA school, 41-12. Southern Virginia defeated NJCAA Southwest Virginia 33-15. In the NAIA, Grand View won its 81st straight dual, but it wasn’t a blowout. The Vikings won six of 10 to defeat Baker 27-15. Five bouts were decided by two points or less. No. 10 Life trounced Truett McConnell 46-5. In Kansas at Olathe South High School, Ottawa beat Central Christian 45-9. In the desert, Embry-Riddle beat Arizona Christian 35-15. On the women’s side, No. 14 Missouri Valley beat No. 20 Saint Mary (Kansas) 28-15 to pick up their first win of the season. No report from the women’s dual between Fontbonne and Westminster. Notables on the Docket: Just a pair of duals in Division I as Bucknell hosts Bloomsburg, which is right down the road, unless you’re in a snowstorm like I was back in 2011 or ‘12. Wrestling’s version of the Backyard Brawl goes down in Morgantown as West Virginia hosts Pittsburgh. Anyone ever hear the story about the Pitt PA announcer asking the fans if anyone owned a tractor with West Virginia plates E-I-E-I-O, because its lights were on? WVU came back to win that game, by the way. True story.  In Division II, Colorado Mesa (formerly known as Mesa State) hosts Western Colorado (formerly known as Western State and Western State Colorado), Emmanuel faces McKendree, MSU-Moorhead faces Northern State in the Northern Sun Conference. Central Oklahoma will face off with NAIA Oklahoma City.  Lourdes, which just added a women’s team, will face Adrian, North Central’s at Wheaton, while Simpson (Iowa) hosts a tri-meet with Central College and Augustana (Ill.) In the NAIA, apparently Lindenwood-Belleville is at Lyon. I’d love to know what’s going on at Belleville, since my emails to the sports information office and coaching staff have gone unreturned. As have my phone calls. Does anyone return calls anymore? Missouri Valley is at Graceland and Concordia (Neb.) is at Morningside.  On the women’s side, East Stroudsburg and King head to Ferrum for a tri-meet in the only reported action scheduled on Thursday. I’m going to suggest heading to TransitionWrestling.com for the minutiae of women’s wrestling. Yes, Gabby gets more plugs.   FROM THE DWN: In the wake of the gigantic outpouring of support for Iowa alum Brandon Sorensen and his fight against leukemia, another Iowa wrestler could also use help from the wrestling community. Justin Portillo has set up a GoFundMe for Grand View women’s wrestler Jas Alexander. She was in a horrific car accident on her way to volunteer at a wrestling event in Waterloo several weeks ago.  Sorensen’s GoFundMe raised over $66,000 in 18 hours (and it’s still growing). Jas transferred to Grand View to join the wrestling team there in her senior season. She is showing resiliency and could use a hand there, too.  The Oklahoma State student newspaper, the O’Colly, does a solid feature on Anthony Montalvo, explaining his hardships growing up that involved poverty and abuse. NJ.com’s Bill Evans looks into the careers of three former New Jersey standouts who are waiting to enroll at Cornell, but are taking greyshirt years.  MLive.com features Pennsylvania high school standout Gaige Garcia, a two-sport athlete who plans on playing football and wrestling at Michigan.  St. Cloud State’s 52-match win streak is re-capturing the attention of its local news media as WJON reports. The Huskies set the Division II record a few years ago at 54 in a row. They’re in line to beat their own record.  Craig Sesker writes about Sorensen for The Predicament.  Trackwrestling released its first set of high school wrestling rankings. I did high school rankings from 1997 to 2005. I also did some high school research when I was with The Open Mat. Yup, not something I ever want to do again. Track, Willie, whoever else, go for it. That’s on you man!  Sam Herring of the Home Mat Advantage fires up another podcast, this time with Wyoming Seminary’s Scott Green and Beau Bartlett.  WIN Magazine’s Mike Finn profiles Iowa and why they’re going to wrestle free and loose to try to score more bonus points this season.  Since I’m up in Canada, I might as well throw some Canadian news out there as CBC features 2016 Olympic champion Erica Wiebe and the battle she must go through just to make the team in order to try to win another Olympic medal. BP Sports Niagara also features another Canadian women’s wrestler, world medalist Diana Weicker.  The Times of India profiles world medalist Bajrang Punia, the Indian wrestler who’s a pretty big fan favorite here in the U.S. That’s not what the story’s about, but hey.  On The Network Chad Dennis returns with The MatBoss Podcast where he interviews Air Force associate head coach Joe Johnston. .

It’s #GivingTuesday and I want to implore you to consider contributing the the Mat Talk Podcast Network. This is more than just podcasts. This show, Short Time Shots, is just a glimpse at what type of news I provide, for free, to the wrestling community at an almost daily basis. Why almost daily? I’ve got a wife and kids, too.  At the end of each episode, I normally make a plug about contributing. This show and the daily wrestling newsletter is a value for value model. If you find it of value and worthwhile to you, consider making a one-time or small monthly contribution to what you think this is worth to you. If you like it just fine and feel like you’re spending enough on wrestling subscriptions and online offerings, that’s absolutely fine. If you think this is actually worth something more than your time, hey, give that a shot too. You can modify your contribution at any time. Go to mattalkonline.com/contribute to see the various ways you can help out. I’ve got a staff of 10 - fingers. Thanks to Pat Fitzgerald, Trent Kroll, John McCarty and Craig Scharer for their contributions this Tuesday.  That’s it for the sales pitch, because THIS is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily recap of the scores and more in and around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant and in the morning, I’m off to Canuckistan! I mean, Canada. In case you’re wondering, yes, I’m announcing the Canadian Olympic Trials. Yes, they hold them in December. They’re in Niagara Falls, which is actually SOUTH of where I live. Why do they set the team so early? Well, I’ll have an investigative, expose, The World In Crisis. Double gold star if you catch THAT reference.  Dual Meets:  I’d say Mount Union was pretty pumped up about their win on Tuesday. The Purple Raiders social media accounts quickly tagged me on Twitter (@jasonmbryant) to let me know No. 6 Mount Union beat No. 7 Baldwin Wallace 31-9 in the Yellowjackets own gym. Mount Union head coach Josh Malave with quite the conundrum, having to X out the M in Mount Union’s name all week. The only matchup of ranked foes saw Jordin James, ranked No. 1 at 141 for Mount Union, beat No. 9 Charlie Nash 11-4. Lenny Reich shout out as well! Elsewhere in the Ohio Athletic Conference, No. 21 John Carroll picked up its first shutout in three years, topping the Fighting Muskies of Muskingum 43-0. Fastest fall of the night came at 165, where Canton, Ohio native Luke Reicosky picked up six in 64 seconds.  Otterbein improved to 5-2 on the season after beating Ohio Northern 30-15. Top-ranked Drew Kasper picked up another W at 285 for the Cardinals, improving to 14-0 on the season and registering his sixth fall of the year.  And while I’d like to give Mount Union the graphic on Twitter and Instagram, that honor goes to Division II Kentucky Wesleyan. The Panthers won its first dual in school history, topping NAIA Midway 26-19 in Midway, Kentucky. Last year, Kentucky Wesleyan went 0-10 in its maiden season. Kairus Washington’s fall at 285 sealed the deal.  Sticking with some Division II action, Indianapolis shutout Urbana 48-0.  In the NAIA, Williams Baptist beat Hannibal-LaGrange 39-15. Anyone get ZZ Top stuck in their head anytime they hear the name Hannibal-LaGrange? No? The Eagles picked up five falls in the American Midwest Conference win.  In an odd scheduling note, there were two women’s duals initially scheduled on Tuesday, but the North Central-UW-Stevens Point dual was moved to February 18, and the Emmanuel-McKendree dual was canceled. Which can be spelled with one L or two. Cancelled. See. I didn’t get a red underline when I typed it, but you … can’t actually see that.  Notables on the Docket: Division II Lander will host its first dual in school history as the Bearcats welcome another first-year program, fellow Division II member and conference mate Mount Olive. Mount Olive won its first dual as a program last week - this is the first time Lander is stepping on the mat for a dual, ever. Kentucky Wesleyan will try to win two in a row as they visit NAIA Thomas More. There will be no more Elisabeth Shue references. Well, there might be.  In Division III, we have a five duals involving teams from D3 and all five of them are in-state battles. Pitt-Bradford faces Thiel, Southern Virginia faces the new NJCAA program at Southwest Virginia Community College, Fontbonne takes on Westminster, NAIA Lincoln faces Millikin and UW-Stevens Point faces UW-Platteville.  The NAIA mostly follows suit, as Truett McConnell faces Life, Central Christian takes on Ottawa and Arizona Christian faces Embry-Riddle. Grand View and Baker gotta screw it all up by being from different states.  Fontbonne and Westminster are scheduled to go there on the women’s side as well, while Saint Mary (Kan.) heads to wrestle Missouri Valley.  FROM THE DWN: The University of Iowa announced on Tuesday that four-time All-American Brandon Sorensen has begun undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. There are numerous outlets with information on this, including the Daily Iowan, Trackwrestling, The Cedar Rapids Gazette, the Quad City Times … after this kind of news, there really isn’t much I want to promote here today. Thoughts are with Sorensen, his family and the entire Iowa wrestling family.  The only good news really coming from Iowa today was the Hawkeyes did come in as a unanimous No. 1 in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. Slight movement, nothing major.  No major changes in the NJCAA Team Rankings as Western Wyoming is still No. 1 there.  From the Asbury Park Press, Rutgers head wrestling coach Scott Goodale gives a mighty endorsement for the football program bringing back Greg Schiano as head football coach. Apparently, Goodale was a pretty good tosser of the pigskin back in high school. Not quite like Uncle Rico, but good.  Cuban Olympic medalist Alexis Vila was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in arranging a murder. Yikes.  Cronkite News, which we’ve discussed on the show before, drops another solid wrestling piece, this time Sarah Farrell profiles Marlee Smith, the lone woman on the Arizona State wrestling team. There’s even a quote from your sometimes-humble host, that’s me.  The Cuban Greco-Roman wrestling team is leaving Iran, according to the Mehr News Agency. The Cubans were training in the run up to the Greco-Roman World Cup, which was postponed by United World Wrestling last week. The Iranian contingent is adamant they will put on the event, passing off alleged safety concerns in the country.  This was posted yesterday, but since there was no Shots, I repeat such info here. The Japan News reports that four-time Olympic champion Kaori Icho has not entered the All Japan Championships set for this weekend, effectively ending her chances at winning an unprecedented fifth Olympic wrestling gold medal. She’s the only human being who has ever walked the planet to win four Olympic gold medals in wrestling.  On The Network Kyle Klingman and Andy Hamilton go On The Mat with the Director of Wrestling and the head men’s wrestling coach at Presbyterian College, Mark Cody.  WarUP on The WPIAL with Jeff Upson and Greg Warnock chat about things related to Waynesburg Central in Western Pennsylvania.  Keep an eye out for a new show coming this week on the network called State of Wrestling. It’ll be an organizational podcast coming from the NWCA. I’ll host it and the first guest will be NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. Little background on the organization and some insight on what’s happening to grow the sport there.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

It’s Short Time Shots for November 2, 2019. In Duals: Fueled by victories from B.C. LaPrade at 157 pounds and Hunter Bolen at 184 pounds, No. 16 Virginia Tech picked up its first win in school history over Missouri, beating the No. 9 Tigers 29-10 in Blacksburg. The Hokies won the last four matches of the dual, which included a forfeit at 133 and a 26-second fall by Mitch Moore at 141 pounds to close out the win. 24 Virginia went 2-0, beating Maryland 34-6 and Division III Southern Virginia 50-3. Maryland picked up the first win of the Alex Clemsen era with a win over Southern Virginia 42-6. Of note for people back home, Patrick McCormick from Poquoson, Virginia - that’s my hometown - registered a forfeit W at 125 against Southern Virginia. It’s my show, I’ll mention irrelevant forfeit wins by kids from my hometown if I want. Rutgers opened up the season with three wins, picking up a win over newly branded Division I LIU 43-3, the top-ranked team in Division II, Pitt-Johnstown, 22-9 and Division III Centenary 38-6. Edinboro opened up year two of the Matt Hill era with three wins, two over non-Division I foes Mercyhurst North East and Ashland and its first MAC win over new conference mate Kent State. In the 29-6 win over Kent State, the top win there was Jacob Oliver’s pin over Andrew McNally at 174 pounds. As SID Bob Shreve wrote, Edinboro eclipsed last year’s win total in one day. While listed as an exhibition, it’s a notable that the revived wrestling program at Division II Fairmont State in West Virginia picked up a win over Garrett Community College of Maryland 30-22 on Saturday. It’s the second win in as many days for a new or reinstated program in the state. On Friday, Davis & Elkins opened with a win. In Division III, Messiah won its Messiah Invitational with four champions - Josiah Gehr at 133, Garrett Cornell at 141, Nick Barnhardt at 149 and Stephen Maloney at 157 pounds. Messiah outdistanced second-place Ursinus5 to 81. Up in Ithaca, Johnson & Wales took home top honors as three Wildcats won titles - Hayden Brown at 133, Gabriel McDaniel at 141 and Da’mani Burns at 149. Baldwin Wallace was second and picked up a pair of champions - Stanley Bleich at 157 and Zeckary Lehman at 197. Host Ithaca was third and also had three champs. Keeping it Division III, Millikin’s Big Blue beat Elmhurst 29-18 Mixing things up, we have LeRoy Gardner’s University of the Ozarks of Division III picking up a 41-10 win over NAIA Lyon College in a battle of Arkansas schools. Out West, North Idaho of the NJCAA beat NAIA’s Eastern Oregon 26-19. Keeping with the NAIA, Oklahoma City, coached by Olympian Sam Hazewinkel, blanked Oklahoma Wesleyan 55-0. In Tournaments: Michigan State Open: Ohio State’s Sammy Sasso make his official college debut one to remember as he trounced the field in East Lansing. Sasso had three falls and two technical falls - including a tech over Michigan’s Kanen Storr in the finals. Sasso also decked Purdue’s Nate Limmex in the quarters. Purdue’s Kendall Coleman probably had the biggest breakout performance of the tournament, winning the title at 157 pounds. Among Coleman’s wins were Eric Barone of Illinois, Will Lewan of Michigan, Zac Carson of Ohio and Anthony Artalona of Penn - All known commodities in college wrestling. At 197, Ohio State’s Kollin Moore edged Oklahoma’s Jake Woodley 6-4 in sudden victory, while Michigan’s Mason Parris topped Central Michigan’s Matt Stencel 9-2 in the finals at 285. Cowboy Open: Probably the most notable result came at 133 pounds where true freshman Theorius Robison of Northern Colorado beat Wyoming All-American Montorie Bridges 3-2. Now, the craziest thing to me is what I’m about to tell you. Ben VomBaur wrestled collegiately at Boise State, where he was a two-time All-American. He won the Cowboy Open, according to his Facebook page in 2001 and 2002. He finished tied for third - due to the match limit rule - at 133 pounds doing the old man entering the tournament thing. Only, he wasn’t. Ben entered the tournament with Will VomBaur, who attends the Air Force’s Prep School and Vance VomBaur, a high school junior out of Windsor, Colorado. Will didn’t place in the Amateur Division at 125, but Vance won it at 133 in the same age bracket, which is typically for college freshmen and sophomores. Yeah, those are Ben’s kids! He wrestled in a college open with his kids. Holy crap, that’s cool. I met Ben a long time ago at the U.S. World Team Trials in 2005 in Ames. Late Friday: The Battle on the Midway did conclude after the first Short Time Shots of the season was released. Army West Point beat Fresno State 29-9 to conclude the kickoff of the season out in San Diego. In Arkansas, Williams Baptist blanked Central Baptist 48-6. What's on the docket: We’ve got open tournaments at Princeton, Clarion, near Virginia Tech in Roanoke at the Southeast Open and the first Battle at The Citadel, appropriately, at The Citadel. Menlo hosts the Menlo Open, Lycoming’s hosting an invitational, CSU Bakersfield closes out its upper midwest run as Manny Rivera stops at North Dakota State, a spot he used to coach. Down south, Emmanuel faces Reinhardt, which started the year ranked No. 2 in the NAIA. What up Jeff Bedard! Placing Top Six (From The Newsletter): Tim Hands over at FivePointMove.com has all the Greco-Roman coverage you can handle, but if you’re a fan of Greco, you might not be able to stomach some of the stuff coming from Budapest, as it was yet another disappointing day for Greco as the U.S. got shut out of medal contention. Timmy has all the breakdowns, as well as a story on the U15 trip out to Europe as well. Clay Cunningham of the Bakersfield Californian pens a pretty solid story on CSU Bakersfield 133-pounder Chance Rich heading into the Runners’ dual on Sunday against North Dakota State. From my buddy Mike Catullo out in Pennsylvania, who tipped me off to one of his wrestlers needing a heart transplant. The York Daily Record did a story on the launch of the GoFundMe. You can read about it in the newsletter. Mike was a former assistant at Franklin & Marshall, Millersville and Maryland before moving back to PA to coach and teach at Red Lion High School. This is the same school that hosted Lock Haven vs. Arizona State last year. When you think wrestling news, you think the Morrison County Record in Minnesota. Well, if you’re a Pierz wrestling fan, yes, that’s spelled P-I-E-R-Z, then you know that’s the most trusted name in news. In all seriousness, I love stories from local media promoting longtime coaches, so that’s why we have included the story of Mark Jensen’s upcoming induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame’s Minnesota chapter. From Eric Knopsnyder of the Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown, Pennsylvania - yup, one of the guys from PA Power Wrestling: Bo Bassett, who I recently saw win the Preseason Nationals in Iowa, is a finalist for Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKid of the Year. He’s a seventh grader at Forest Hills Middle School in Sidman, which is just outside Johnstown. I’m pretty sure that VomBaur story is going to get some traction nationally once people hear about it.

It's Short Time Shots for November 2, 2019! In Duals:•Fueled by victories from B.C. LaPrade at 157 pounds and Hunter Bolen at 184 pounds, No. 16 Virginia Tech picked up its first win in school history over Missouri, beating the No. 9 Tigers 29-10 in Blacksburg. The Hokies won the last four matches of the dual, which included a forfeit at 133 and a 26-second fall by Mitch Moore at 141 pounds to close out the win. •No. 24 Virginia went 2-0, beating Maryland 34-6 and Division III Southern Virginia 50-3. Maryland picked up the first win of the Alex Clemsen era with a win over Southern Virginia 42-6. Of note for people back home, Patrick McCormick from Poquoson, Virginia - that’s my hometown - registered a forfeit W at 125 against Southern Virginia. It’s my show, I’ll mention irrelevant forfeit wins by kids from my hometown if I want. •Rutgers opened up the season with three wins, picking up a win over newly branded Division I LIU 43-3, the top-ranked team in Division II, Pitt-Johnstown, 22-9 and Division III Centenary 38-6. •Edinboro opened up year two of the Matt Hill era with three wins, two over non-Division I foes Mercyhurst North East and Ashland and its first MAC win over new conference mate Kent State. In the 29-6 win over Kent State, the top win there was Jacob Oliver’s pin over Andrew McNally at 174 pounds. As SID Bob Shreve wrote, Edinboro eclipsed last year’s win total in one day. •While listed as an exhibition, it’s a notable that the revived wrestling program at Division II Fairmont State in West Virginia picked up a win over Garrett Community College of Maryland 30-22 on Saturday. It’s the second win in as many days for a new or reinstated program in the state. On Friday, Davis & Elkins opened with a win. •In Division III, Messiah won its Messiah Invitational with four champions - Josiah Gehr at 133, Garrett Cornell at 141, Nick Barnhardt at 149 and Stephen Maloney at 157 pounds. Messiah outdistanced second-place Ursinus 116.5 to 81. Up in Ithaca, Johnson & Wales took home top honors as three Wildcats won titles - Hayden Brown at 133, Gabriel McDaniel at 141 and Da’mani Burns at 149. Baldwin Wallace was second and picked up a pair of champions - Stanley Bleich at 157 and Zeckary Lehman at 197. Host Ithaca was third and also had three champs. Keeping it Division III, Millikin’s Big Blue beat Elmhurst 29-18•Mixing things up, we have LeRoy Gardner’s University of the Ozarks of Division III picking up a 41-10 win over NAIA Lyon College in a battle of Arkansas schools. Out West, North Idaho of the NJCAA beat NAIA’s Eastern Oregon 26-19. Keeping with the NAIA, Oklahoma City, coached by Olympian Sam Hazewinkel, blanked Oklahoma Wesleyan 55-0. In Tournaments: •Michigan State Open: Ohio State’s Sammy Sasso make his official college debut one to remember as he trounced the field in East Lansing. Sasso had three falls and two technical falls - including a tech over Michigan’s Kanen Storr in the finals. Sasso also decked Purdue’s Nate Limmex in the quarters. Purdue’s Kendall Coleman probably had the biggest breakout performance of the tournament, winning the title at 157 pounds. Among Coleman’s wins were Eric Barone of Illinois, Will Lewan of Michigan, Zac Carson of Ohio and Anthony Artalona of Penn - All known commodities in college wrestling. At 197, Ohio State’s Kollin Moore edged Oklahoma’s Jake Woodley 6-4 in sudden victory, while Michigan’s Mason Parris topped Central Michigan’s Matt Stencel 9-2 in the finals at 285. •Cowboy Open: Probably the most notable result came at 133 pounds where true freshman Theorius Robison of Northern Colorado beat Wyoming All-American Montorie Bridges 3-2.

As economic hardships continue to carve their mark deeper into the lives of Americans, university enrollment is declining. Richard Whitehead discusses the benefits that education has for the rising generation of youth and how Southern Virginia University has been able to battle economic hardships by providing scholarships to 90% of their students. Most universities pack students into classrooms to reduce education costs, however Southern Virginia University is taking a different approach referred to as "the genius of small." The average class size is fifteen students and each professor knows his or her students. When a class member stops attending class they are noticed and others reach out to them. Not only is the quality of education superior in comparison to other universities, but acceptance into postgraduate school is 80%. About the Guest: Richard Whitehead is the acting president & vice president of institutional advancement at Southern Virginia University. Dr. Whitehead joined the Southern Virginia staff in Aug. 2003. A strong believer in education, Dr. Whitehead spent much of his time from 1971 to 2000 associated with Dixie State College where he was co-founder and member of the National Advisory Council, president of the Alumni Association, member of the board of trustees and president of the Foundation. In 1997, he was named the executive director of institutional advancement at Dixie State College. On May 5, 2000, at the college's commencement exercises the Utah State Board of Regents awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Humanities degree. He served as president of the England Bristol and England Birmingham Missions from July 2000 to July 2003.

Warren Thompson leads the nation’s largest minority-owned food and facilities management company. Owning and operating brands such as Matchbox, Hen Quarter, Austin Grill, Subway, Chick-fil-A, just to name a few - -  Warren sat down with Culturetects Host, Angie Ange to talk about the importance of starting at the bottom when creating a brand, the restaurant & hospitality industry, opportunities for minorities, how your lowest moments can propel you to success, and more... Warren details his journey from growing up in Southern Virginia, to mopping floors in Graduate School, to being the majority owner of a company on track to gross a billion dollars annually in the next few years. He was inspired by the story of a family member (Cleave), and the idea of working for others to gain the knowledge you need, to then build your own successful companies.

Today our guest is the Rt. Rev. Dr. Carol Gallagher, Regional Canon for the Central Region of the Diocese of Massachusetts. Previously, Bishop Gallagher served as the assistant bishop of the Diocese of Montana, where she developed a close relationship with Indigenous leaders and communities, trained  clergy and lay leaders on issues of race, gender, and inclusion, and led the Task Force on Native Issues. Before Montana, Bishop Gallagher served as the assistant bishop in the Diocese of North Dakota, Diocese of Newark, and Diocese of Southern Virginia. Developing strong relationships with Native tribes and communities, as well as educating Episcopal communities on the significance of the intersection of race, culture, gender, and class, has been a focus of her ministry for a long time.    Bishop Gallagher is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation. She has served on numerous committees, task forces, and boards, including the Episcopal Church Council on Indian Ministries, the Anglican Indigenous Network, Anglican Peace with Justice Concerns, the Committee on the Status of Women, the Episcopal Divinity School Board of Trustees and the United Way of America National Board, to name a few.      Alli sits with Bishop Gallagher while she was visiting New Haven, CT as a keynote speaker at Yale Divinity School for “Fully Native Fully Christian: Converging Rivers and Indigenous Canons” conference. Bishop Gallagher’s father was a Presbyterian minister, and her mother was a Cherokee woman. Bishop Gallagher tells Alli about her call to ministry from a young age and the significance of her consecration as the first female native bishop.    Bishop Gallagher discusses the relationship of The Episcopal Church and Indigenous communities, stating that the relationship ebbs and flows depending on who is in leadership within the church. In her ministry, she has traveled around the country to train lay leaders within Indigenous communities as a way to empower all individuals in the church. Bishop Gallagher shares a story that has really stuck with her in her work with native people. When she was traveling in New Zealand she learned the importance of “making things your own” from the Maori people.    She shares ways to get involved and empower local Indigenous communities, from visiting the Mashantucket Pequot Museum to learning about the local communities’ history, and truly listening to stories of native peoples.     Within her current work in Massachusetts, Bishop Gallagher shares that she works closely with parishes and clergy in transition. One thing that is exciting in the next year, 2020, will be the 400 anniversary of the landing on Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. Bishop Gallagher plans to work with the community in Plymouth, the Wampanoags, and Indigenous folks in Virginia to better understand the complexities of the story and how the church participated - both helpful and destructive and everything in-between.    This work has been both a spiritual blessing and challenge for Bishop Gallagher. She refers to it as a balancing act, but God has always provided. Bishop Gallagher shares that the conference she is at, which brought her to New Haven at Yale Divinity School, is helping to form a community on the East Coast for Native folks within the church.    To close, she asks for prayer for the church to be open and to embrace the multiplicity of expression as a gift. 

In another recent podcast we talked about why businesses expand to the United States. But it’s a huge country with 50 states and they’re all different – not just geographically, but in terms of laws, culture and doing business generally. So where do you go? Well, that depends on why you’re setting up in the States, what sort of business you’re in and what markets you’re trying to reach. Recently I met up with Joe Anwyl to talk about one state in which he specialises, Southern Virginia. Joe’s professional background is in engineering project delivery, team management, and business development, and he has first-hand experience of trading in USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, South America, India, China, ​and Malaysia. In our conversation, Joe’s talking about the advantages of Southern Virginia and the businesses it should appeal to. However, whatever your business, and even if that state is not the right destination for you, I think you’ll find Joe’s commentary really interesting and helpful. Since 2013, Joe has been working to support UK and EU firms expanding to Virginia. He’s worked closely with Rolls-Royce North America and has helped a dozen firms establish companies in the US. Most recently Joe has been helping international companies make the engineering and tech-centric location of Southern Virginia their operational base in the USA.

Suddenly the end of January is upon us! Where has the season gone? We are past the halfway point, conference action is now in it's second go-around (for most), and the matter of regional rankings and conference tournaments is becoming more real. Teams who have had unbelievable starts, but have not faltered, are now in the spotlight. The question is no longer "can they keep this up?" But rather, the question has become, "how did they get this good?" Tonight, we ask versions of that last question. We will hear from St. Thomas who hasn't been the MIAC dominator the last few years, but is back on top in a far more competitive conference. Oswego men have already knocked the SUNYAC boss, Plattsburgh off the pedestal. And Southern Virginia women have startled the entire conference. We find out how a first-year coach with no Division III experience has shocked everyone. Plus, we chat with Oberlin's women's coach who has not only preached diversity, but created an environment for his program and the conference that reiterates open and safe environments. It has also thrust the team high into the NCAC race. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Thursday's edition is available On Demand in the video boxes above or you can listen to the audio-only podcast to the right (available shortly after the show goes off air). If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com or use any of the social media options to the right. Guests Schedule (order subject to change): - John Tauer, No. 7 St. Thomas men's coach (Part 1) - Jason Leone, Oswego State men's coach (Part 1) - Kerry Jenkins, Oberlin women's coach (WBCA Center Court) (Part 2) - aDAM Wardenburg, Southern Virginia women's coach (Part 2) - James Wagner, CSAC Assistant Commissioner (NCAA Convention report) (Part 2)

The idea came easy for former Navy Officer Laura Deming. After hearing Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables” she new it was time to act. That was followed by Peter Strzok texting his friend Lisa Page, “I’m in a Walmart in Southern Virginia and I can just smell the Trump support”. Thus was born - 'Deplorable Fragrances' (www.cult45llc.com). "I figured I'd create a scent to go with the Trump movement," says Deming. Now she and her business partner, and former host of 'RedNationRising', Timothy Shea are selling 'Deplorable' & 'Deplorable Dude' perfume and cologne coast to coast (see short client bios below). "We needed to make sure the Trump support we are seeing also had a fragrance that every liberal could smell," says Shea. "With Deplorable & Deplorable Dude' we have such a scent and one that's a perfect Christmas gift for the Trump supporter in your family." Cult45 LLC., is a veteran own business and 'Deplorable' and 'Deplorable Dude' fragrances are made entirely in the USA. Be sure to check it out if you're stuck on a gift this holiday season.

Friday night saw some tremendous action around the country, but most of it centered in Big Ten Country. That’s right, to hell with your high school football playoffs - except for Poquoson - Go Islanders - it’s wrestling season and we had some fun stuff on Friday night. This is Short Time Shots, a sometimes relevant look at the day’s scores and more in college wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant and Schell’s Firebrick might be my second favorite beer. My favorite beer sits across the border in Wisconsin. It’s called Spotted Cow. Speaking of Wisconsin, they Badgers and Chris Bono were wild and crazy on Friday night as they went to Lincoln and knocked off No. 12 Nebraska 22-21 on criteria. It was Coach Bono’s first Big Ten win as the Badgers head coach and it was all sorts of crazy. First off, Ryan Christensen rallied from a 6-4 third-period deficit to pin Nebraska’s Mikey Labriola with just a couple of ticks left on the clock at 174 pounds. Every point would count here as an excited Chris Bono was docked a team point for control of mat area. Another key bonus victory came at 125 pounds as Zeke Moisey benefitted from a quick injury default win over Connor Brown. Brown rolled his ankle in Moisey’s first attack of the match, and then tried to restart the bout. That didn’t happen and Nebraska went up 18-12 with just three weights to go. Jens Lantz came through for the Badgers at 133, delivering what could be the most relevant victory of his college career, a 10-3 win over Tucker Sjomeling. Then six more points came as 141 pound Tristan Moran pinned Nebraska reserve Christian Miller in the first period to give the Badgers a 21-18 lead heading 149. This one was wild. Cole Martin nearly ended it for the Badgers with a cradle, but then Collin Purinton turned the tables and nearly pinned Martin, which would have given the Huskers the win. Purinton got the W, but it was the second criteria - most falls that gave Bono and company the W. Oh, we didn’t even talk about the most anticipated match of the night - Evan Wick beat Isaiah White 12-5. Wick did it with only two takedowns and no nearfall points. Next time, me thinks White will NOT be taking down when he has choice as Wick drew three stall points while working on top at 165. No. 2 Ohio State ventured west and pounded Cal Baptist 42-0 in front of over 3,000 fans in Riverside, California. As I’ve mentioned on this show previously, Cal Baptist began its four-year transitional period to Division I this year and the Lancers aren’t hiding with a soft schedule. No. 3 Iowa hosted Princeton in just the second meeting between the two programs and the first in 17 years. The night started off with a highly anticipated matchup between returning national champion Spencer Lee of Iowa and Princeton’s highly regarded true freshman Pat Glory. Lee blew the doors off Glory, getting up 14-0 at one point before finishing off the technical fall in the second period. Back-to-back falls by Austin DeSanto and Max Murin fired up the strong, focused and energized crowd at Carver-Hawkeye. Top-ranked Matt Kolodzik got Princeton on the board with a gritty 7-4 win over Pat Lugo, avenging a defeat from last year. Iowa also picked up a fall from Alex Marinelli at 165 pounds. No. 7 Missouri and No. 10 Virginia Tech didn’t really have much of a thriller, despite some matches being close. The Tigers won their 22nd straight dual, topping the Hokies 21-8. The biggest win of the night sent many fans in Last Man Standing contests to the showers early as Connor Flynn knocked off Mekhi Lewis 8-6 at 165 pounds. The other two matchup of ranked wrestlers both went Mizzou’s way as John Erneste beat Korbin Myers at 133 and Grant Leeth beat Ryan Blees 3-1 at 149. No. 9 Cornell wasn’t tested in a 36-6 win over Binghamton in EIWA action. No. 20 North Dakota State survived an upset attempt in California as the Bison had to get a major decision from 125-pounder Brent Fleetwood to beat Fresno State 21-20. No. 23 Rutgers pounded Hofstra 40-3, giving coach Scott Goodale his 166th career victory as the Scarlet Knights head coach, tying former coach John Sacchi for first on the all-time coaching list in New Brunswick - or is it Piscataway? In Division II, Pitt-Johnstown stopped Millersville 30-6, while Ohio Valley beat NAIA West Virginia Tech 27-24 in a matchup of two West Virginia programs. The Mark Rial era in Storm Lake started out well as Buena Vista went up to Minnesota and beat St. John’s 31-13 to give the new Beavers coach his first head coaching win. Washington & Lee, that’s Dubya-N-Ell for those in that part of Virginia, beat Southern Virginia 36-9 in a crosstown scrap. The two schools are six miles apart - and get this - Southern Virginia is in Buena Vista … Virginia. In the NAIA, the Fire of Southeastern topped Campbellsville 27-12 in Mid-South Conference action. Wins by Jason Davis, Jesse Pryor and Silas Root closed things out for coach Javier Maldonado’s squad. In junior college action, the Clackamas win streak continues. The Cougars knocked off North Idaho 34-3 to extend its win streak to 41 in row!

Sure, our job isn't being put on the line when a coach makes the decision to go for two at the end of a key game, but this is Division III -- the coach's job isn't really on the line on one play call. We love a little gamble, especially when it pays off. Whether you call a Philly Special (or something that looks similar but fools the broadcaster) or something else, rolling the dice and getting it makes for a great highlight. So, for Marietta and Simpson, which chose to go for two, or Wittenberg, which had no choice, it was a big Week 5, and Pat and Keith honor that by going for two with the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast.  Plus, the Little Brass Bell went back home with the team it came with, nobody was trapping Mary Hardin-Baylor or Hardin-Simmons, UW-Whitewater wore UW-La Crosse out and just maybe The Streak is in play this year. Teams mentioned: Denison, Wittenberg, Simpson, Wartburg, Marietta, Ohio Northern, Wheaton, North Central, Hardin-Simmons, Mary Hardin-Baylor, UW-La Crosse, UW-Whitewater, Linfield, Whitworth, Muhlenberg, Franklin & Marshall, St. Thomas, Concordia-Moorhead, Case Western Reserve, Illinois Wesleyan, Susquehanna, Dickinson, Greenville, Westminster (Mo.), Dubuque, Loras, Wisconsin Lutheran, Rockford, Methodist, Huntingdon, Wesley, Southern Virginia, Martin Luther, St. Scholastica, Brockport, St. John Fisher, Worcester State, Fitchburg State, Louisiana College, Sul Ross State, Millsaps, Husson, SUNY-Maritime, FDU-Florham, Misericordia, Dean, Finlandia, Olivet, Moravian, Gettysburg.

Hey folks, it’s been a while. I’ve had a trip to Virginia, an appearance on a radio station that once fired me after five hours and of course, SNOW! But it’s a Tuesday night, the Bartz Brothers here in New Brighton have unveiled a new snow sculpture and I’m back to give you a rundown of the scores and more from January 16, 2018. This is Short Time Shots and I’m your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer, Jason Bryant. Stellar Top 10 dual in Division III as unbeaten and fifth-ranked Loras -- the DUHAWKS! -- beat ninth-ranked Central College 25-12. Loras won six of the 10 bouts, but bonus points were the word of the day as four of the six wins picked up some extra sumpin’ sumpin’ -- even with an injury default at 133 where Michael Triplett was up 10-1 on All-American Cam Timok before Timok was forced to injury default. No, that’s not quite a nod to Lagunitas -- or is it Lagu-nit-as -- asking for a friend, right Richard Immel? North Central topped Wheaton 33-9 in a matchup of Top 25 teams. Wins were few and far between for the Thunder, who came in No. 25 in the most recent Division III rankings. Mount Union improved to 9-1 and picked up a second OAC win with a 39-9 win over Muskingum in Alliance, Ohio on Tuesday. Michael McIntire registered the quickest fall of the night for the Purple Raiders at 1:18 at 157 pounds. Greensboro comes off the Virginia Duals and picks up a 28-24 win over Southern Virginia. Time for your semi-irregular Student Princes update. Yes, the Student Princes of Heidelberg evened its record at 6-6 with a 23-12 win over Otterbein, that action taking place in the OAC. In Division II, Pitt-Johnstown got a technical fall from heavyweight D.J. Sims lifted the Mountain Cats past Seton Hill 21-17. UPJ also picked up a crucial win at 165 pounds as Devin Austin earned a 5-4 win over Zach Voytek. Cody Law’s fall at 157 wasn’t totally unexpected, but the bonus points were needed down the stretch. Mixing up some divisions, which is what we’re about to do, we saw Drury University of Missouri pick up its first dual meet win of the season. The Panthers topped Arkansas’ University of the Ozarks, a Division III school headed up by former Junior world teamer LeRoy Gardner. We had him on The Ice Hour last year -- he’s got a story about Uzbekistan, but doesn’t everybody? Extra credit: coach James Reynolds wrestled at Adams State. Speaking of Panthers! Up in Michigan, bumping away from Kyle Nixon was a bad idea! What happened up in the mitten, well Davenport University won three of the last four matches to move past Division III Alma College 24-21. In case you’re wondering where the heck Davenport is -- it’s in the home of Bloodround -- Grand Rapids, Michigan and they’re reclassifying from the NAIA to Division II. And yes, they are the Panthers, too. By the way, the aforementioned Mr. Nixon DOES have a podcast. Gold star when you find it. In the NAIA, Grand View won again -- and this just in, snow … is cold. The Vikings won for the 62nd time in a row and the 91st time in the last 92 duals. Lyon and Hannibal-LaGrange were canceled due to inclement weather -- the real reason according to Julia Salata is because Southerners are soft. No tickets if you keep that up, pal! Barton Community College swept three duals at the Barton Duals. The Cougars -- GO COUGARS -- beat Colby 55-0, Cowley 42-6 and Northwest Kansas Tech 28-13. No report on the other scores, since most junior colleges don’t really update their athletic websites the night of a road dual in the middle of Kansas. Just how it is.   The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing. And if you haven't already, leave a rating and a review on iTunes.

When does dissecting pigs become a topic of Thanksgiving dinner? When you live in Minnesota! I’m Hall of Fame announcer, writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots by the Mat Talk Podcast Network, a daily look at scores and more from the world of college wrestling. More about the pigs just a bit later. Wednesday tried to be pick on Division III day as a couple of Division II schools beat area rivals from the non-scholarship level of Division III. Out near me, at least in the soon-to-be frozen tundra, Mary beat Concordia of Moorhead 33-12, while UW-Parkside, a D2 school, beat UW-Stevens Point 35-6. Mary, ranked 23rd in Division II, set the tone early earning bonus points in the first four bouts of the night over the Cobbers, FEAR THE EAR. Concordia is ranked 21st in Division III. Sidenote: Division II Limestone beat Division I Davidson on Tuesday night. Another Sidenote: I mentioned on one of the recent shows that my niece Ashley is a freshman at Concordia. Well, let me give you this little story. She was talking to our family during Thanksgiving about one of her bio labs and specifically her lab partner. No names here, but anyway, she said she was dissecting a pig -- it is Minnesota folks -- and she cut too much into the stomach and the contents of the pig decided to squirt out -- on to her lab partner. Since Ashely was doing most of the work anyway due perceived queasiness, it should come as no surprise that said lab partner decided to puke right there. No worries dude, it’s the innards of a pig shooting across the room at you. I might have yacked too. It wasn’t all sunshine and Tony Ramos for Division II on Wednesday though as Scranton, a Division III school in, you guessed it, Scranton, Pennsylvania, beat Division II East Stroudsburg 21-16. The Royals won the last three bouts of the dual to rally from a 16-12 deficit. The match-clincher came at heavyweight where freshman William Oxley topped Hunter Marhan 7-4. In a Commonwealth matchup, meaning the Commonwealth of Virginia, Southern Virginia beat Hampden-Sydney 54-0 in a dual between two new-ish programs. Southern Virginia has fielded a program for over 15 years, but they finally became a school-sponsored varsity team a few years ago. This is the first year they are postseason eligible as the school reclassified to Division III. Hampden-Sydney is still struggling with numbers, but first-year head coach Chris Conkwright will eventually get things working in Farmville. Yes, Hampden-Sydney College is just outside Farmville, Virginia NOT the game on your phone. Kansas Wesleyan beat Ottawa 26-24 as coach Matt Oney and his squad won the school’s first dual meet in history on Wednesday. Tanner O’Donnell’s first-period fall at 197 pounds iced it for the Coyotes. Reinhardt picked up four forfeits and two falls, including an 18-second fall from Garrett Klinger at 165 pounds to beat Truett McConnell in an Appalachian Athletic Conference matchup. The NAIA moved from regions or groups to conferences for qualifying this season. The AAC is sponsoring wrestling for the first time, much like many of the other NAIA conferences. In the JUCO ranks, Iowa Lakes beat NIACC 34-15. The Laker s, yes, a very original nickname, picked up falls from Anthony Fisher, Sangobunmi Smith and Brady Brott along the way. In other news makers from Wednesday, Lakeland University in Plymouth, Wisconsin announced it would be starting women’s wrestling as a varsity sport in 2018-19. That will bring the number of new women’s college programs starting up next season to six. Nassau Community College was set to start next year, but they’ve got two women wrestling this season as featured by Newsday, a Long Island paper, last week. Lakeland joins Tiffin and Schreiner as three NCAA schools that have recently announced they’re starting programs next year. The pre-seeds are out for the 36th annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational.

Yes, that's right -- an Around the Nation Podcast in April! Pat and Keith will be doing monthly podcasts during the offseason, and they'll check in with newsmakers in and around Division III football. This episode features guests in Wabash coach Don Morel, Southern Virginia coach Joe DuPaix and Trinity (Texas) coach Jerheme Urban. The post ATN Podcast: New coaches, new season appeared first on D3football.com » D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast.

For the last 15 years, the wrestling program at Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, Virginia has competed in relative obscurity. While a competitive program in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA), the Knights athletic program was looking for an identity. The school, which was in the NAIA, kept wrestling on its listing of sports, but it was still a club program. SVU was also affiliated with the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association, which was formerly known as the U.S. Small College Athletic Association. The team would show up at open tournaments and have sporadic duals, but the role of the program in the varsity landscape was still uncertain.On July 8, Southern Virginia University elevated its club wrestling program to varsity status. Logan Davis, a 2009 graduate of SVU, took over the program two years ago after the previous coach was fired and the then Athletic Director was ready to axe the sport from the school's club offerings. Davis stepped up to keep the program alive.Southern Virginia cleared a few more hurdles and applied for NCAA membership and they were granted provisional membership. That set the stage for a new AD to come in and bring the program to a fully-supported athletic option at the varsity level.On Episode 77 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with Logan Davis, who is now taking a job that was once a role to keep a club sport alive, to coaching at the NCAA Division III ranks.Some of the topics Davis talks about with Southern Virginia University's program in this episode of Short Time are:Saving the wrestling club.The impact Ferrum College's program had on Southern Virginia elevating the program.Thoughts on potential new programs in Virginia at the Division III level.The school's theology, which embraces the LDS (Mormon) values.Recruiting kids at a small, private, niche school.Timeline for postseason competition and scheduling.What he and his program developed by competing with the NCWA and fledgling wrestling support from the USCAA.Short Time is sponsored by FlipsWrestling.

Note: For the record, writing a post about a writer can be daunting. Keep your judgey-judgey to yourself! This post is as much about Joshua Young as it is about the importance of travel. When we move around the country, (this one or any other—take your pic), we put distance between ourselves our beginnings in order to build new parts of our lives—even if it's just for a few days. At the same time, we represent where we are from in a very general way. "I'm from Pittsburgh, but originally from Southern Virginia—yeah I'm a Steelers fan. You gotta be!" "Do you know where Virginia Beach is? No? Well, a lot of people don't, but I'm from near there. It's pretty but not very exciting..."  My travel to Chicago was related to business. I attended PePcon, (a conference for print and online publishing professionals) and learned more than I thought was possible about the tools to create exciting work and see into the future of publishing.  The evening before however, I was able to sit down with Joshua Young after seeing him and four other poets perform at the best reading I have ever attended. The Dollhouse is an apartment where the first floor has been converted into a performance space for local poets to not only share their work but sell it—a LOT of it. The evening was outstanding and inspirational on several levels and we get into everything in the recorded chat. The real take away here is between my brief time with Joshua and the conference, I came back from Chicago with different parts of me replaced with better pieces. I came back feeling like my creative career has never been more bright and realizing more than ever how life takes me in myriad directions but as long as I keep learning and gathering tools to do what I do better, then I can't totally fuck it up. Below are images from the reading with Joshua, including pictures of books that are mandatory for everyone to purchase, and a bunch from my walking about Chicago. I'll be updating this page a little bit throughout today, (June 20th, 2014) with more information as I find it, (there's a lot of googling to do and I do everything at the last minute). It's important though for you dearest reader/listeners to connect with Joshua and the other authors listed below.

Dale shares some experiences from his Cigar Tourism trip to Nicaragua and Honduras. Bob and Dale conduct live interviews with Paul Anctil, owner of the Sans Soucy Winery and Ron Barker from Cigar Volante who reps Panacea cigars. Ron and Paul sponsored a wine pairing and online herf of Panacea cigars. Of course, Bob and Dale participated by making the Panacea Azul Cameroon the Cigar of the Week. Learn about the Sans Soucy Winery Legacy wine. This hand-crafted wine honors Southern Virginia's tobacco “legacy” by using grapes grown in former tobacco fields that are then dried in traditional Virginia tobacco barns. Zedman from Canada gives a review of the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial from Cuba. Two listeners check in: Adam Parsons lets us know about a great season 7 episode of South Park on smoking bans. Dave from Toledo responds to Bob's earlier comments on sampler packs. The cigar featured in the What's My Band segment of the show, Tatuaje Black Petite Lancero, was suggested by Jeff Curtis. The winner of January's Palio contest is Paul Przybysz. He will receive a black Palio cigar cutter. Enter February's Palio contest by sending a photo of you or your friends enjoying a cigar to theshow@cigarmedia.tv. (Don't forget to include your mailing address and type "Palio" on the subject line.) To see the contest pictures, click on the Contest icon on the www.cigarmedia.tv home page.

Go to http://www.cigarmedia.tv/live/ where the show is broadcast live most Friday evenings at 9 PM EST. You won't want to miss the live version of show #365 on February 10th. In honor of having a show for listeners to download on every day of the year, Bob, Dale, Liz and Craig Schneider will be giving out sampler packs of some of their favorite cigars. But you must be in the chatroom during the live show to win, so be sure to tune in on February 10th. Cigar of the Week - Panacea Azul Cameroon A beautiful Cameroon wrapper filled with the finest filler tobacco and bound with a strong Cuban seed binder.
