My guest Crystal Lee is a powerhouse of energy, light and positivity. For over 20 years she has traveled the world serving our country in the US military. First as a Technical Sergeant with the Defense Information Systems Agency and culminating her military career in April 2020 as a Network Systems Architect with the Defense Intelligence Agency. As a child, Crystal loved acting, singing, and creating characters. Her mother, who is Filipino and her father, who is of German/English descent, had encouraged and nurtured her creativity from an early age and so she resumed her love of performing and voice work to, in her words, “inspire people throughout the world to follow their dreams through storytelling, make-believe, visualization, and magic!” During her time in the service, Crystal utilized her voice acting talents while participating in field exercises and deployments. Her voice's unique qualities rendered it invaluable when used to authenticate section callsigns and code-words. She also starred in multiple Armed Forces Network radio and television spots, did some modeling and Hawaiian/Tahitian/Belly dancing as creative outlets from the rigidity of military life. After she retired, she did a short stint as a government contractor, then a government civilian and quickly realized that between the office politics and her unfulfilled feelings that it was time to leave government work altogether. After doing so, she says her life opened up to a whirlwind of possibilities and it was time to create her own reality. Crystal is now a voice actor specializing in voice-over for animation, commercials, and industrials, the Founder and CEO of Crystal J Productions, a service-disabled veteran, Belly Dancing nerd, and magical being, Crystal is an amalgamation of beauty, integrity, discipline, creativity, and quirkiness. Obviously the industry thinks so as well given her commercial demo was nominated for a SOVAS Award in 2021.

Good morning, it's Monday April 19th and this is The Herald Review's Daily Chirp podcast. We're bringing you a closer look at one of our top stories, along with other important things going on in our community. Today - According to Sheriff Mark Dannels the Mexican cartel has threatened deputies with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. Before we begin, some local history. John Harris Behanserved as the first Sheriff of Cochise County when the county was formed back in 1881. He was sheriff during the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Behan was known for his opposition to the Earps. And after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Behan testified at length against the Earps. He supported the Cowboys' statements that they had raised their hands and offered no resistance, and that the Earps and Doc Holliday had murdered three cowboys. The Earps ultimately left Tombstone under a cloud of suspicion. Behan was later arrested for graft and failed to win re-election as sheriff. Eventually, he was appointed as the warden of the Yuma Territorial Prison and had various other government jobs until his death in 1912. Today's history is brought to you by Benson Hospital - they're doing more than treating illnesses in Benson, they're building a healthier community.

Sheriff Mark Dannels recently stated that the Mexican cartel has threatened deputies with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff shared the information with a small group of ranchers and homeowners gathered at the First Baptist Church in San Simon on Wednesday evening last week. The meeting aimed to help residents learn more about the situation with undocumented migrants coming across the border from Mexico. Dannels told the crowd that the Mexican cartel is extremely organized on both sides of the border and no one crosses from Mexico into this country unless they pay a member of that organization first. He also noted that recent decisions being made in Washington DC have actually empowered the cartel. Another focus of the conversation was on the rising number of people coming to the U.S. illegally — including unaccompanied children. In the Tucson Sector — which includes Cochise County — there were “encounters” with 7,079 unaccompanied migrant children in March. That's up 83 percent from March 2020. Encounters with single, migrant adults trying to enter the country illegally also jumped in the Tucson Sector, with over 68,000 last month, compared to just over 21,000 in March 2020. This ongoing issue has prompted several government and law enforcement entities to reach out to federal officials. Even the Western States Sheriffs Association of Laramie, Wyoming, expressed solidarity with the Southwest border sheriffs. Following the meeting in San Simon we spoke with Dannels about the cartel threat and he told us that they've had threats. They're taking safety precautions to protect Cochise County deputies. He also noted that if there are any new developments he'll let the public know. Then, on Friday, Governor Doug Ducey announced that Arizona would take matters into its own hands. Ducey's statement came after the Arizona Department of Public Safety spotted 20 undocumented migrants in Chandler. The state agency said it was rebuffed by both the Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they asked for help. Ultimately, the migrants were released into Chandler. Ducey said that the Biden Harris administration needs to get its head out of the sand when it comes to the crisis at our border. In his eyes, this lack of action defies all logic, and flies in the face of the law. Ducey continued to say that this administration is asleep at the switch, and their total lack of action is having real consequences here in the state of Arizona. Ducey is hopeful that US Senators and Congressional delegation will join him in calling for the President to deploy the National Guard to the border. It was then when he noted that if the federal government isn't going to do its job, then Arizona will take matters into our own hands and provide support to sheriffs and local law enforcement.

Now, we'd like to take a moment to recognize military children as April is the Month of the Military Child. Department. brought to you by ApexNetwork Physical Therapy in Benson and Sierra Vista.

Using extensive knowledge, their therapists treat each patient one-on-one, focusing on individual care.

But as a military child, the first-grader is beginning to understand that people come and go and that a favorite house or school is not always permanent. Elaina and her 5-year-old sister, Gabriella, are among the hundreds of thousands of military children around the world who are honored each April by the Department of Defense during the Month of the Military Child. The event was created in the mid-1980s by then Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. The Pentagon and other military support organizations and agencies use the month to recognize military children for their sacrifice and bravery on the homefront. While a lot of military youngsters get to live in places that many adults would never see, the constant change and upheaval can often be emotionally taxing. But military parents say that the moves can also build resiliency. That's what Army 1st Sgt. Michael Hull, who is stationed at Fort Huachuca, says about his two sons. Hull said his boys have always embraced the moves and the adventures that come with them. But the Hull children are about to experience a bit more permanency in their young lives. In June, Hull completes his second year at Fort Huachuca. The 41-year-old soldier plans to retire and stay in Tucson. His oldest son started high school there two years ago and he wants to see him finish. His youngest is in fifth grade. Meanwhile, the Calkins sisters are just getting started on their adventure. Their father, Army Maj. Robert Calkins, the battalion executive officer in the 309th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Huachuca, said moving to the installation almost three years ago was the first significant move experienced by his daughters. Calkins said he's starting to see resiliency in both his children. They now understand when he has to finish work at home after a long day or if he's going to be a little late picking them up at the after-school center on the installation. But neither child can really understand the gravity of his work or that he commands 850 soldiers. When he gets home he's just dad. - Next, an upcoming event in our community that you should know about -- brought to you by our sponsors, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative. Music, art, and tacos! Six great bands, local artists, and tacos... not bad for a Tuesday!

The event is BYOB and don't forget your masks, please! Suggested cover is between $5-10 to support the arts in Bisbee. Finally - we'd like to remember the life of Steve Whitecotton of Hereford. Steve was son of the Bennie and Betty Whitecotton. He was born in Blytheville, Arkansas on November 14, 1952. Steve was a 1971 graduate of Rivercrest High School and went on to attend Arkansas Tech University. In 1973, he joined the United States Air Force and proudly served his country for 15 years. He attained the rank of Technical Sergeant before transferring to the Army in 1988, serving for 10 years. Steve was a Gulf War Veteran, serving with the First Armor Division and retired with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2. Steve enjoyed riding his motorcycle, he had his pilot's license, he enjoyed scuba diving as a Master Diver, and he loved tinkering in his shop on projects, and working on his “farm”. His smile and laughter will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him, especially those closest. Steve is survived by his daughter, his grandchildren, a brother, a sister, a nephew, his former wife and friend Pam, and his “adopted son” George and his family. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Steve's life. And remember, the Herald Review is here for you with local news you can trust.

On today's episode Brian and Kara welcome Ian Palmer from Thin Line Fitness to continue the discussion of fitness and the fire service. About Thin Line Fitness (@thinlinefitness):Thin Line Fitness was started in 2017. It started as a vision, though, many years ago. Ian was tired of seeing the rapid increase of cardiac and medical related LODD's across the field of first responders, as well as the increasing number of out of shape personnel. He made the dream come alive after he received his certification as a personal trainer and a solid nudge in the right direction by his group of close friends and his wife.About Our Guest:Ian is a professional firefighter at the Ridge Culver Fire Department right outside of the City of Rochester, New York. He found his love for physical fitness when he was 18. At the time he weighed 270 pounds. After his uncle died at an early age of health-related issues, he decided he needed to make a change since he didn't want to take the same path. He put the pedal to the metal, ate right, exercised regularly and intensely, and dropped to 150 pounds in a year. After that he joined the Air Force as a firefighter, where he still serves as a Technical Sergeant and Station Captain. He has deployed twice to the Middle East, which further increased his interest and knowledge in the physical fitness realm. Upon returning from his last deployment, his best friend and fellow firefighter, Matt, talked him into starting Thin Line Fitness. The gears turned, steps were taken, and it was finally started.About our hosts: Chief Brian Soller has been a volunteer firefighter for 30 years.

2-Minute Tip — Tempo When things are going well or smoothly we often talk about being in a state of flow. We feel it in music; we feel it when we’re writing code; we feel it when we’re doing needlepoint; and we feel it on stage when we speak. Part of what drives that rhythm is finding the right tempo, or pace, for ourselves and hour talk. Tempo goes beyond just finishing on time (though that’s important, too). It’s about honing in on the natural way that you talk. If you naturally talk fast, that may be fine. I you talk fast because you’re nervous, then that’s something to worry about. The length of your sentences, the words you choose, your phrasing, etc., all impacts your tempo. When you find yourself giving a talk that just “feels right,” ask yourself what you were doing in that talk. Ideally you recorded it so you can go back and listen to it again a figure out what made it smooth. You probably found your tempo. And when that happens, don’t fight it — lean into it. Embrace your tempo. Your speech can also have its own tempo, separate from the speaker. Different content will lend itself to different pacing. Talks may rise and fall emotionally depending on where you are in it. The energy level shouldn’t be the same throughout; let it fluctuate as the content dictates. Ultimately you want the tempo of you as a speaker to be in line with the tempo of your talk. If you can’t get there, then rethink that talk. Post Tip Discussion: Meet Lyle Tard Back in college on the debate team I found my performance in competition rose or fell to the level of my competitors. The value in competing against a really awesome team was that it would draw out the best in my performance. That was my experience in today’s conversation with speaker, trainer, Podcaster, Servant Leader, and Airforce Technical Sergeant Lyle Tard. His enthusiasm and energy is contagious. Bio Lyle Tard is the Founder and CEO of IMPACT Servant Leadership, started in 2018. He is currently entering his 19th year as a Technical Sergeant in the United States Air Force and serves his country while still on active duty at the 305 Maintenance Group at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of Training Management. During his Air Force career, he has been all over the world, from Europe to the Pacific Islands and everywhere in between. Among his accomplishments are honors such as Non-Commissioned Officer of the Quarter and Lance P. Sijan Leadership Award – Non-Commissioned Officer Tier. He has guided the careers of more than 10,000 Airman from civilian to military life, leading them in cutting edge training of their newly developed skills. He previously managed the Community College of the Air Force program at the United States Expeditionary Center’s school, touching the lives of more than 43,000 military and civilian members annually just before his current posting. As a communicator, Lyle has spoken worldwide inside and out of the military community. He has motivated young adults at institutions such as Atlanta Leadership College, American University and Harvard Business School. Just as in the Air Force, Lyle takes pride in leading the next generation of world changers. From universities to businesses to churches, Lyle’s passion is to influence the world to realize that “Leaders lead best when they serve.” IMPACT Servant Leadership aims to transition our most impactful areas of society to realize that achieving power with others is more beneficial socially and economically than asserting power over others. Lyle is also the primary moderator of the Service is Power podcast, spreading the message that “The Power to Serve, Serves us All.” Along with his wife of 14 years, Sherrell and his two children, Alycea and Ethan, Lyle has served as the Youth Pastor at Gulf Coast City Church in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, Missions Director at National Community Church, Washington D.C. and Lead Elder of Lighthouse International Ministries in Brunssum, Netherlands. Gain From Our Perspective Lyle found inspiration in the slogan of Franklin Templeton Investments. Here is one of their commercials. Episode 13 of Service is Power Lyle talked about how his guests surprised him in Episode 13 of the Service is Power podcast. Here is that episode Training I found Lyle’s description of training in the military particularly interesting. It’s a model based on simulating the experience as much as practical since in the real world lives, millions of dollars in equipment, and US foreign policy are all on the line and dependent on that training kicking in when it’s needed. Obviously, most corporate trainers do not face the same stakes, but our work may take us closer than we think. The way our learners do their jobs can impact millions of dollars of business, the jobs of their coworkers, and the health or safety of colleagues and customers. eLearning and stand-up lectures can be part of the training solution, but ultimately we need to get our learners as close to the actual real world work as much as possible. Go Make a Thing As you probably noticed in the conversation, I also like how Lyle started his podcast on Servant Leadership. He went looking for content for himself, found it didn’t exist, so he created it. It’s the origin behind my Strokecast, too. If there’s a resource you are looking for that you can’t find, go ahead and create it. You will help others, and you’re likely to learn a lot in the process, too.
