11th Sunday after Pentecost Gospel Reading- Matthew 14:22-33
What if the answer to aging well at home isn't an expensive caregiver --- but a college student in the spare bedroom? In this episode, host Kirsten Howe sits down with Alison Donnally, founder of JoeyCo and a healthcare innovation veteran of Amazon Care and Kaiser Permanente. After three of her own family members experienced major health events while aging alone, Alison asked a question that wouldn't let go: if the au pair system gives American families relatively affordable live-in childcare, why isn't there an equivalent for older adults? Her answer is JoeyCo, which matches older adult homeowners ("hosts") with screened, vetted local students ("Joeys") who rent a room in the home and work for the household --- groceries, dog walks, trash cans, and the everyday help that keeps life running. Together, Kirsten and Alison break down what makes these arrangements actually work: the legal structure behind every match in California, the clear expectations set before anyone moves in, and the simple communication habits that keep small issues from ever turning into big ones. They also explore the deeper reason this model resonates: as we age, our world tends to get smaller. A little help --- and a little company --- can push it back open. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:30 Kirsten's focus for this episode series: not living longer, but living better --- all the way to the end. 1:05 Meet Alison Donnally, founder of JoeyCo, with a background spanning Amazon Care, Kaiser Permanente, the NFL, Tuck, and Wharton. 1:40 The concept in a nutshell: older adult "hosts" get affordable help at home, and student "Joeys" get a place to live and a job. 2:42 Alison shares the personal inspiration --- three family members, aging alone for very different reasons, each experienced a major health event. 3:25 "These are not healthcare things that are happening to my family members, until it is something that is healthcare." 3:50 The aha moment came from the au pair system: why not affordable live-in support for older adults, too? 4:52 How it works in California: lodging agreements, household employment rules, and keeping the complexity on JoeyCo's side. 6:45 Who becomes a host? Often women aging alone with an extra bedroom and a desire to help solve the housing crisis. 7:30 Another common host: a household where a family member is the caregiver for someone with dementia or a chronic condition. 8:05 Every match starts with one question: what would make this host come alive? 8:47 Kirsten's theater-line story --- Joeys aren't caregivers, but getting to a play matters, too. 9:45 Even chit-chat in line adds vibrancy to a life that can start to feel smaller with age. 10:21 "One by one, we lose our friends." Why JoeyCo is more than a business transaction. 11:42 Did you know? A room-for-chores swap isn't legally compliant in California --- every match takes two agreements: monthly rent from Joey to host, and biweekly W-2 payroll from host to Joey. 12:56 The house manual covers the roommate stuff up front: Wi-Fi passwords, fridge shelves, and clear expectations. 13:30 Weekly look-ahead meetings keep payroll accurate and schedules in sync --- flexibility requires communication. 13:55 The bathroom fan story: handling the little things before they become big things.

A North Georgia Gem Right in Our Backyard: Fred Talley's Guide to Burnt Mountain Preserve Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of Pickens County. If you've lived in or around Jasper for any length of time, you know we are blessed with some of the finest mountain air, friendliest folks, and prettiest scenery in the whole state of Georgia. Whenever folks ask me what I love most about living and working up here in the mountains, I tell ’em it's the fact that you can finish up a day's work and be standing on top of a mountain ridge taking in a million-dollar view ten minutes later. One of my absolute favorite hidden gems in our local community is the Burnt Mountain Preserve. Whether you’re looking to stretch your legs, take in the seasonal wildflowers, or just enjoy a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle, this 900-acre county-owned treasure is tough to beat. What Makes Burnt Mountain Preserve So Special? Located right off Route 136 heading east out of Jasper—just before you hit the main scenic overlook—Burnt Mountain Preserve sits at an elevation of roughly 2,500 feet. What a lot of folks don’t realize is that this land isn’t just pretty to look at—it plays a huge role in protecting our community. The preserve covers the headwaters of the Champion Creek valley and protects the Long Swamp Creek watershed, which helps safeguard the clean drinking water supply for the city of Jasper. As someone who spent years studying engineering before getting into public health and pest control, I appreciate good stewardship when I see it. Preserving this valley keeps our water clean and keeps the native wildlife thriving. Exploring the Trails: Something for Every Hiker Whether you're out for a breezy afternoon stroll or you want a workout that'll make your legs burn, the preserve has three main trails built and maintained by the Mountain Stewards: The Crest Trail (0.3 Miles – Orange Blazes): If you just want a light, easy loop to stretch your legs or get a quick breath of fresh mountain air, start here. It loops through the upper portion of the preserve and offers great winter vistas across the valley. The Preserve Trail (1.0 Mile – Yellow Blazes): Graduating to moderate difficulty, this trail takes you along ridge crests with gorgeous western and southern views looking out toward Sharp Top Mountain and Grandview Lake. Keep an eye out for the educational signage along the path identifying local tree species and native plant life. The Champion Creek Trail (Strenuous): Now, if you're looking for a true physical test, this is the one. The trail drops down 800 feet of elevation into the bottomland of the Champion Creek valley before reaching a wooden bridge over the creek. Just remember: every foot you walk down, you've got to climb right back up! A Quick Tip from Your Local Bug Man Now, you knew I couldn’t write an article about walking in the woods without throwing in a little friendly advice from your neighborhood exterminator! When you're out enjoying North Georgia's trails—especially during the warmer spring and summer months—nature is out there enjoying it, too. Ticks, mosquitoes, and chiggers love the shade of our hardwoods just as much as we do. Here are a few simple tips before you head out: Tuck and Cover: If you’re heading down the Champion Creek Trail where vegetation gets a bit thicker, tuck your pant legs into your socks. It might not be a high-fashion look, but it keeps seed ticks and chiggers off your skin. Use a Friendly Repellent: Spray an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET or Picaridin on your boots and lower pant legs. Do a Post-Hike Check: When you get back home to Jasper, do a quick tick check on yourself, your kids, and your pets before settling in for dinner. Get Out and Enjoy Pickens County! We are so lucky to call this area home. Places like Burnt Mountain Preserve remind us why North Georgia is such a special place to live, raise a family, and enjoy the outdoors. The next time you have a free Saturday morning, pack a bottle of water, grab a pair of sturdy walking shoes, and head up Route 136 to check out the preserve. And hey, while you're out enjoying the wild bugs in their natural habitat, make sure the ones at home aren’t invading yours! If you ever run into termites, ants, mice, or anything else creeping around your crawlspace or attic, you know who to call. Stay safe, enjoy the mountain views, and let me be YOUR bug man! — Fred Talley Owner & Certified Public Health Specialist, Faith Pest Control Jasper, Georgia The post Fred Talley's Guide to Burnt Mountain Preserve first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

In the summer of 1958, phantom fires struck the Tuck family's Talladega, Alabama home more than fifty times — bread igniting on its own, single garments bursting into flame, sulfur-smelling fires that followed the family across three homes before a nine-year-old confessed to a scheme that never explained the blaze witnessed by police in the yard, or the fires that started when the boy was gone.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/paranormalflamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yc4nrtujFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In the late 1950s, the Tuck family of Alabama found themselves at the center of a terrifying ordeal as mysterious fires spontaneously erupted in their home. Despite their best efforts to escape the flames, the fiery phenomenon followed them from one residence to another, consuming their possessions and leaving them homeless. We'll look at this case and other similar ones where the seeming explanation is nothing short of paranormal. (Paranormal Flames) *** In the sleepy Kentish hamlet of Charing, a centuries-old mystery unfolds every May Day. As the clock strikes midnight, ghostly children emerge from their moss-encrusted graves, their ethereal feet dancing to the silent fiddle's tune. It's all part of the "Night of the Dancing Feet." (Dancing After Death) *** Before his wife's murder in June 2009, Eli Weaver had numerous affairs with women he met through online dating sites, where he called himself an "Amish Stud." But only one mistress was willing to kill for him. (Eli Weaver, Amish Stud and Murderer) *** The American West evokes iconic images often seen in movies: bold adventures, noon shootouts, resolute sheriffs and marshals maintaining order, and the cavalry arriving just in time. However, the history of the Wild West, replete with myths and stereotypes, presents a more complex and sometimes disturbing reality about justice in that era. (Wild West Justice) *** On the morning of July 13, 1997, the body of Denise Johnson was discovered inside her burning childhood home in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Emergency responders quickly realized they weren't dealing with a simple arson, but a murder as well. Now, more than two decades later, the case remains unsolved. (The Unsolved Murder of Denise Johnson) *** Hachishakusama, often referred to as the "Japanese Slender Man," is a haunting figure from Japanese urban legends that rivals the terror of her American counterpart. While the Slender Man has gained a cult-like following and has even inspired real-life horror stories, Hachishakusama's tale is equally spine-chilling and capable of keeping you up at night.

Episode OverviewWith freestone trout streams across the Southeast pushing into the upper 60s and low 70s by mid-morning, serious anglers need a plan for beating the summer heat. On this Casting Angles installment of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash and Master Casting Instructor Mac Brown of Mac Brown Fly Fish and Fly Fishing Guide School in Bryson City, North Carolina, break down how to keep catching trout — or productively wait it out — when peak summer temperatures push freestone fishing to its limits.Mac and Marvin agree that the dog days of summer call for a shift in strategy rather than a day off the water. The conversation centers on East Tennessee's Watauga and South Holston tailwaters along with Western North Carolina's Nantahala, all three of which hold cold water for much of the day, plus the Clinch River below Norris Dam and the deep, cold Fontana Dam tailwater. By contrast, the Tuckasegee ("the Tuck") is a tailwater that doesn't run nearly as cold as the others, since its dam doesn't create enough head to keep the release chilled. The pair walk through the early-morning window — roughly daylight to 9:30 or 10 a.m. — as the best bet for active trout before heat shuts things down, and they recommend checking USGS gauges and the TroutRoutes app to confirm flows and water temperatures before heading out. When conditions simply aren't fishable, Mac and Marvin suggest reinvesting that time in casting practice or fly tying rather than forcing a trip. The episode closes with a teaser for Mac's upcoming fall casting schools, with full details and dates available at macbrownflyfish.com.Key TakeawaysHow to identify which regional tailwaters — the Watauga, South Holston, Clinch and Fontana releases — hold consistently cold, fishable water when freestone streams push past 69–70°F by mid-morning.Why fish in bigger bodies of water retreat to deeper, cooler holds as afternoon temperatures climb, making them much harder to reach with a fly.When to fish the early-morning window, roughly daylight to 9:30 or 10 a.m., for the best shot at active trout before the summer heat shuts down the bite.How to use USGS gauges and the TroutRoutes app to check release schedules and water temperatures before committing to a trip.Why elevation alone doesn't guarantee cold water, since even streams near 6,700–6,800 feet can push toward 70°F by mid-morning in peak summer heat.When to redirect fishing time toward casting practice or fly tying rather than forcing a trip into conditions that are too warm to fish well.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe core strategy discussed is prioritizing tailwaters over freestones during peak summer heat, since dam-regulated flows on rivers like the Watauga and South Holston hold consistently cold water while freestone streams climb toward 70°F by mid-morning regardless of elevation. Mac and Marvin recommend checking USGS stream gauges alongside the TroutRoutes app, a podcast sponsor (Use ARTFLY20 for 20% off), to review flow schedules and available water-temperature data before planning a trip. They also frame the early-morning window, from daylight until roughly 9:30 or 10 a.m., as the most productive stretch before warming water pushes safe fishing out of range. For anglers boxed in by travel or work schedules that don't line up with cooler weather, the hosts suggest using the downtime productively — working on casting fundamentals on a soccer field or similar open space, or tying flies indoors until conditions improve.Locations & SpeciesThe conversation centers on East Tennessee's two primary trout tailwaters, the Watauga and South Holston, along with the Nantahala in Western North Carolina — all three of which stay cold thanks to dam releases even as regional air temperatures spike. Mac also points to the Clinch River below Norris Dam in Tennessee — including a weir section that was fishing well as of a recent report — and to Fontana Dam's tailwater, where depth of nearly 470 feet keeps discharge in the low 50s even at the height of summer. By contrast, the Tuckasegee ("the Tuck") is a tailwater in Mac's home area that doesn't run nearly as cold, since its dam doesn't create enough head to chill the release the way the others do. Across all of these waters the target species is trout, with the guidance shaped entirely around peak summer heat: freestone streams in the region are pushing toward 69–70°F by 10 a.m. even at elevations of 6,700–6,800 feet, making the cold, stable tailwaters the more reliable option through the hottest stretch of the season.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy is trout fishing difficult during peak summer heat?As water temperatures climb through the day, trout in bigger bodies of water move deeper to find cooler conditions, which makes them much harder to reach with a fly. Even high-elevation freestone streams in the region can push toward 69–70°F by mid-morning, which is enough to shut down activity. Trout mortality rises significantly as water temperatures rise into the upper 60s making catch and release angling unethical. The trout will usually die post release.What time of day should anglers target trout streams during hot summer weather?The best window is early morning, roughly from daylight until 9:30 or 10 a.m., before water temperatures climb into the range that suppresses feeding activity and endangers trout post release. After that window closes, Mac and Marvin suggest shifting plans rather than fishing through the heat of the day.How can anglers check water conditions before a summer fishing trip?Marvin recommends checking release schedules and water temperatures using USGS stream gauges, along with the TroutRoutes app, which provides flow data and, on streams equipped with temperature gauges, water-temperature readings as well.Which tailwaters stay fishable through peak summer heat in this region?East Tennessee's Watauga and South Holston rivers hold cold water for much of the day. The Clinch River below Norris Dam and the Fontana Dam tailwater in Western North Carolina, which runs in the low 50s even in summer due to the dam's nearly 470-foot depth, are two other reliable cold-water options mentioned in the episode.What should anglers do when conditions are too hot to fish safely and effectively?Rather than forcing a trip into unproductive and unsafe heat, Mac and Marvin suggest using that time to work on casting fundamentals or to tie flies indoors, and to wait for a seasonal cool-down, which typically arrives as August progresses.Related ContentS8, Ep 50 - Navigating Summer Waters: Ellis Ward on Trout, Musky and the Art of the Evening BiteS8, Ep 49 - Mastering the Cast: Mac Brown's Insights on Shooting LineS8, Ep 45 - Casting Fundamentals: Mac Brown on the Art of the Reach MendS8, Ep 41 - Offbeat Seasons and Terrestrial Tactics: Mac Brown's Fishing StrategiesS8, Ep 48 - Summer Heat Strategies: Captain Brian Shumaker's Smallmouth TipsView All Casting Angles Episodes with Mac BrownConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our
