As America marks 20 years since the September 11th attacks, we hear from two Marine veterans, Rory Holderness and Dario DiBattista, about their experiences fighting wars that were set off by the terrorist strikes.  Dario says: “We need to more intellectually consider the experience of Iraq and Afghanistan, take lessons learned and figure out how we can all collectively heal.” Then we talk with Ben Wainio, whose daughter, Towson alumna Honor Elizabeth Wainio, was aboard United Flight 93 that day. The plane's hijackers, overcome by insurgent passengers, never hit their intended target and crashed in Pennsylvania. “Those passengers and crew members, they did something to save whatever was going to happen in Washington -- You know they were really heroes.” Links: Warhorse, Honor Elizabeth Wainio '95 Communications Memorial Scholarship Fund endowment, Honor Elizabeth Wainio '95 Communications Memorial Scholarship fundraising event at Ropewalk Tavern, Oct. 23, 2021.

The DYOJO Podcast LIVE Episode 51 with David Olson - Can old dogs (like you) learn new tricks? The DYOJO Podcast is sponsored by Be Intentional: Estimating, written by Jon Isaacson, The Intentional Restorer, to help teams develop the right mindset and habits for documenting, estimating, and producing consistent outcomes for insurance claims projects. Available in Kindle and paperback OPEN Ryan Strickland, Franchise Owner, Fayetville, North Carolina Cooking gators and celebrating your crew GUEST David Olson, General Manager, Seattle, Washington You talked about getting into the industry with your Dad on GMS Podcast Episode 32. Your dad made you start from the bottom and work you way up. When did you “take over” for dad and what did that transfer of power teach you about what you thought you knew but didn't? In 1988 you acquired your CE accreditation, this was still early in that process. What do modern restorers need to understand about the evolution of internal training as well as utilizing training for outreach? In 2000 you became a state director. Is this when ServPro started developing their national response teams? Is this associated but separate? What are your thoughts on the role of certification and training for the industry? How does a person in a position of leadership maximize the efficacy of these resources? It's interesting having just read The ServiceMaster Story by Al Erisman and the impact of the tension between people and profit and how, from his perspective, this impacted their trajectory. As a personal question, in my limited view, when I started with ServiceMaster in 2002 they were still “top of the heap” and had a primary contract with the largest insurance carrier in the country. What do you recall of the strategy and execution for SP becoming “king of the hill”? How did what the brand was doing at a national level evolve to help the local regions and individual offices? The larger franchise organizations have a perception of not only competing with your competitors from other brands, but with the tight distribution of zip codes, you may be competing with your own brand. How did you work to help individuals achieve their goals while being a part of something much larger than themselves? (the CORE of collaboration) By 2010, when SP invested heavily in becoming a recognized brand by advertising EVERYWHERE, you were transitioning out. When you changed “teams” what principles did you learn were universal and which ones didn't translate as well? You're back in the mix, managing an office in Seattle. How do you adapt as an “old dog” with 40 years experience? The DYOJO Podcast - the weekly podcast for Intentional Restorers. Every Thursday at 9am PST on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify.

Freedom To Do Good! Pastor Jayson Martindale Text: 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 Thesis: “When I accepted Christ in my heart I began to step into the freedom that Christ gives! And now it is my heart's desire to share this love, this tangible freedom… I have decided to take this time to choose freedom. To show up every day and follow exactly what God is putting down.”  - Dana Seward Where Does Our Freedom Come From? Our Freedom comes from the blood of Jesus Christ! “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though                  for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demon-                                   strates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died                             for us (Romans 5:6-8).” Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit…” (Excerpt from a Prayer of President George                           Washington) We receive liberty from the burden of sin, and relief from the wrath of God! 1. “Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we                      be saved from God's wrath through him! (Romans 5:9)”  How do we use our Freedom? The blood of Jesus does not give us a pass to continue in immorality. What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may in -                           crease? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live                            in it any longer (Romans 6:1-2)   We can use our freedom to help or to harm.  “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any ten-                 derness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded,                      having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind                                            (Philippians 2:1-2).” “The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.” (Booker T. Washington) “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in                                       love.”  (Galatians 5:13)   III. Are we willing to Limit our Freedom for the benefit of another? Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of                            you to the interests of the others (Philippians 2:3-4).” “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in                                       love.”  (Galatians 5:13)   Just because I can, doesn't mean I should! “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives (Genesis 50:20).” Is it beneficial? Is it constructive? “A freedom which is enjoyed at the expense of detriment to others cannot be really beneficial to oneself. Paul declares that a Christian has the ab-                                     stract and theoretical right to whatever is not itself sinful, but considera-                  tions of expediency and of the welfare of others place practical limits upon                       this liberty.” (Beacon Bible Commentary, 1968) For no man who lives at all lives unto himself. He either helps or hinders all who are in anywise connected to him.” (Frederick Douglass) “Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed                                                    (John 8:35-36).”

I think the story of the “thousands of blackbirds, ‘coincidentally’ falling out of the skies over Amsterdam — when a 5G experiment was suddenly turned on …” several years ago, was my first major heads-up that “something might be fundamentally wrong with 5G.” But, attempting to find objective scientific information on the long-term health effects of the coming “5G revolution,” is a little like trying to find an honest politician in Washington: You know there must be some …. How, in the maze of blatantly contradictory “information” spread across the Internet, can a layman possibly know who’s telling us the truth about the safety of “5G?” Well … as my grandmother used to say, “If you don’t know your furs … know your furrier.” Meet Dr. Beverley Rubik … our “furrier” tonight — in the “wild and woolly world of 5G ….” Join us … as we uncover a bizarre, [...]

The Winter Court mourns for their Prince's loss. The world will never be the same. EDIT: I have come to learn that people have trouble understanding the Sultans in their segment. For your consideration, here is the script I had so you can follow it better. ARTHUR: Bring him in. ARTHUR: Edgar Allan Poe, you stand accused of leaving the borders of the Deadlands once entering, possession of an Earth citizen, and using your powers to influence the mortal realm. How do you plead? POE: Guilty, your emenicies. WASHINGTON: You do not deny any of the charges? POE: No, Sultan Washington. WASHINGTON: You are aware of the punishments for such actions? POE: Yes, Sultan Washington. CLEOPATRA: Then you will be pleased to learn, Edgar Allan Poe, that you are not to face any of these punishments. MONTECZUMA: Your actions led to the safety of countless souls. POE: My Sultans, I do so beg your pardons, but, I thought the Deadlands- MONTECZUMA: We do not look forward to such large influxes of souls, Edgar Allan Poe.

Ray Benton on the current state of Tennis~ "A lot more to be done. We've gotta rebuild the base of our sport. I mean, tennis participation's been going down in the United States for 40 years. It's ridiculous." Ray Benton - Mr. Tennis - CEO of Junior Tennis Championship Center (JTCC) Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen, and this is Our Town. I'm welcoming an old friend who's not old. He's a young man. He's the CEO of the Junior Tennis Championship Center in College Park, Maryland, but before that, he was Ray Benton and will always be Ray Benton, Mr. Tennis, to me. Ray, welcome to Our Town. Ray Benton: Thank you Andy. Great to see you. Andy Ockershausen: Well, you know, you've done so much, Ray, in your career and realized that you're from Iowa. I keep wondering, how did you get connected with all the people you got connected with in Washington? You went to school there. You were born there in Iowa? Ray Benton: No, but I lived there since I was eight years old. Andy Ockershausen: Is that it? Ray Benton: I wish you'd say Iowa with a bit of respect. You're very degrading. Iowa Undergrad and Law School | Vietnam | Wharton Business School Andy Ockershausen: I remember State Fair was a great movie about Iowa. Now how did you get to Pennsylvania, to Wharton? Ray Benton: Well, I grew up in Iowa City, where the University is, of course. My parents were actually professors there. Andy Ockershausen: Wow. Ray Benton: And so I went to undergraduate and law school there, and then I decided that I'd rather not go to a place called Vietnam. So I went to business school at Wharton and got drafted right out of there. Andy Ockershausen: Did your time anyway. Ray Benton: I did my two years. Andy Ockershausen: But the war was winding down, I'm sure. Ray Benton: No, no, no, no. Andy Ockershausen: It was still hot when you- Ray Benton on serving in Army as Legal Clerk in Alabama during Vietnam War Ray Benton: I was on orders for Vietnam as an infantry rifleman in 1967, which is like a death sentence, but I was very fortunate I had been working as a legal clerk in the legal office at Fort McClellan in Anniston, Alabama. Andy Ockershausen: Alabama, yeah. Ray Benton: And I was waiting for my commission in the JAG, and all of a sudden, pending my security clearance, so all of a sudden I was on orders as an infantry rifleman, which I had just taken advanced infantry training. And my commission to JAG came through, which had been four years, and I said, "I really don't wanna spend four years, and I really don't wanna go to Vietnam as an infantry rifleman." And my boss, who was the judge advocate said, "God, I'd like to keep you." I said, "Why don't you make me a legal clerk?" 'cause I was an infantry rifleman just- Andy Ockershausen: That was your MOS, right? Ray Benton: My MOS, and 11B10. And I was just waiting for my order to become an officer. Andy Ockershausen: Right. Ray Benton: And so he looked in the Regs, and he found 90 days on the job training, I can make you a legal clerk. And I had been there four months. So he made me a legal clerk, which got me off the orders, and I dropped my commission. Andy Ockershausen: Did you ever get the commission? Ray Benton: No, no. I dropped it because I didn't wanna spend four years. So by then, I'd been in for, what? Four, eight months, so I can get it out as a enlisted man for another 16 months. Andy Ockershausen: And you did? Ray Benton: I had a great time. Andy Ockershausen: In Alabama, or they move you around? Ray Benton: No, no. I was in Alabama the whole time. I'd go to work at five in the morning, be done at one in the afternoon. Andy Ockershausen: And play golf. Side jobs while in Army in Alabama - Tennis Pro and Subsitute Business Law Professor Ray Benton: And after one o'clock, I was the varsity tennis coach at Jacksonville State University. I was the head Tennis Pro at the Anniston, Gadsden Country Clubs and a substitute Business Law Professor.

Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD on hope, and why becoming a minister is so important to him ~ "It's not enough for me just to speak to families. It's extremely important for me to be on sides where we can really promote hope in a way that frees people so that we can make the best choices in this city." Roger Mitchell, Jr., MD, Chief Medical Examiner, Washington DC, with host Andy Ockershausen in-studio interview Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen and this is Our Town. I say this from the bottom of my bottom heart, it's so delightful to have Roger Mitchell on Our Town. Do you realize Roger that you are one of the most important persons in the city of Washington? You're the Chief Medical Examiner for the Capitol City of the United States if not the world. What a title. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: Listen, I made it to Our Town and the word on the street is if you can make it to Our Town, then you might very well be an important person. I'm excited about being here, Andy. Andy Ockershausen: This program's so important that we don't have any commercials, but we do have some, but these are people in Our Town but Roger, you have such a career. What you've done is amazing to me because you're a learned man and you paid the price to learn what you're doing. But that is a great title, Chief Medical Examiner. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: Yeah, Chief Medical Examiner. I'm a young chief, too. Andy Ockershausen: I bet you are. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: There's not many young chiefs out here and it's just good. I've been here about five years now. Andy Ockershausen: But you're not a native. You didn't grow up here of course, but you went to Howard University. THE Howard University and New Jersey Medical School - Smart and Lucky Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: I did go to Howard, THE Howard University.

Andy Ockershausen: It's a tough school. You're both! Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: I think on the bottom of my certificate, it might've said lucky but we won't look at the fine print. Andy Ockershausen: Luck follows speed, Roger. That's something I learned many years ago. You gotta be fast in this world. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: That's it. Andy Ockershausen: But, you have a background in forensic medicine which, to me, is so impressive and you continue to do it today. OJ Trial Takes Forensics to New Level - Mitchell Becomes Interested in Forensics as a High School Junior Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: I started forensics early. You remember the OJ trial, right? Andy Ockershausen: Oh yeah. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: The infamous OJ trial, right? Andy Ockershausen: Oh my, yeah. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: And so, forensics really, in this Country, was catapulted into the forefront. Andy Ockershausen: I believe what you're saying. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: This Country really wasn't thinking about blood stain pattern and proper evidence handling really until the OJ trial. And so, when I was, I think I was in my junior year- Andy Ockershausen: In medical school? Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: No, it was in my junior year of undergrad at Howard University and I was doing- Andy Ockershausen: Our Town. Roger Mitchell, Jr, MD: Washington, D.C., yes, your town. Andy Ockershausen: Great,

Gary Cohen, WRAP Chairman, on drinking responsibly~ "Let's just do it and have a plan. The world has changed. When I have a party at my house ... my neighbors walk, but my friends, they'll take an Uber or a Lyft because they want to have a few cocktails at my house and they want to get home safe . . . it's the right thing to do and I do it myself as well." Gary Cohen, WRAP Chairman and Restaurateur in studio with host Andy Ockershausen Andy Ockershausen: This is Our Town. This is Andy Ockershausen with a wonderful, wonderful opportunity to me to talk to a man that I've envied from distance because I didn't know what he was doing until recently, but in reading his resume, I found out so much. Gary Cohen, welcome to Our Town. Gary Cohen: It is my pleasure to be here, thank you for the invitation. Andy Ockershausen: What a background, all you've done, right? Say all these restaurants, but we want to find out about you. You grew up in Long Island. Are you a native? Were you born in the Island? From New York to Northern Virginia Gary Cohen: I was born on Long Island in Glencove Hospital. I grew up in a town called Plainview. Andy Ockershausen: I know Glencove. Gary Cohen: I grew up there until I went away to college, upstate New York in 1979, SUNY at Oneonta. Andy Ockershausen: Yeah, what is that, an Indian name? Gary Cohen: It's an Indian name. It's a small college somewhere between Binghamton and Albany and I got my degree- Andy Ockershausen: Otesaga, I know. I've been to Cooperstown, of course. Gary Cohen: Yeah, it's very close to Cooperstown. I still go back to visit ... Every couple of years I go to Cooperstown, see the Hall of Fame and I stop back at my college town. It's not quite the same anymore, but it was a great experience there. Andy Ockershausen: Cooperstown, I think is wonderful. For our young people and I hope everybody can visit because I know you're a baseball fan and that didn't bring you to Washington, but you moved to Virginia in August of what, 1979? Gary Cohen: That's correct. Andy Ockershausen: Why would you leave SUNY and come to Northern Virginia? Gary Cohen: I got my first my first job experience, my first job offer, excuse me, from the Marriott Corporation. They ran a group of restaurants down here. Some of you that have been around a long time might remember them, Joshua Tree and Phineas Prime Rib and some of those old restaurants. I joined them out of college and it's a funny story when I joined them. People said to me, "Why do you want to move to Washington? You've never left Long Island in your life?" I said to them- Andy Ockershausen: Yeah, that is strange. Gary Cohen: I said to them, "I don't want to spend my life on 495, the Long Island Expressway," so I come down here and now I spend my life on 495 the Beltway. Andy Ockershausen: Well, you picked the right people to go to work with because they are farsighted and they were growing. That's part of Our Town is Marriott, of course. Gary Cohen: Sure. Andy Ockershausen: The children were born here. The family was here. I knew Mr. Marriott through a lot of charity work that we did with him and he was a fine man. A Start with Marriott - The Joshua Tree Gary Cohen: In those days, they were trying to diversify and they had their hotel division. They had what they called their "dinner house restaurant division." I worked. I was by the dinner house restaurant division. It was run by a separate group of people, but the Marriotts because first job they lived in the Marriott … My first job was at Joshua Tree in McLean. I ran the kitchen there and Mr. Marriott lived down the street for a while there,

This is our Poetry and Metaphor Q+R! Thank you to everyone who submitted questions! We responded to seven questions: (1:20) Ivan from El Salvador - “How do you identify poetry? For example, in Genesis 1, some people say Genesis 1 is poetry, some people say Genesis 1 is actual history. How can you identify if it's poetry? I know there's a lot of poetry in the Bible, and there's also a lot of narrative.” (14:45) Chris from Illinois - “You talk about the metaphor of time as a possession and used it as an example of a modern metaphor, then you say that the Bible doesn't view time in this way. However, in Psalm 31:15 David says, "My times are in your hand," and in Ephesians 5:16 Paul writes, "We should redeem the time." Don't these phrases suggest that both David and Paul view time as figuratively, as a tangible and valuable possession?” (21:55) Jackson from San Luis Obispo, California - “Can you provide a short list of other commonly used metaphor schemes throughout the Scriptures? Sort of like the base layer metaphors to have in my mind while I'm reading through Scripture. I think this would be very beneficial.” (29:45) Tyler from Vancouver, Washington - “You talked about how the biblical authors are using metaphoric imagery to describe the abstract ideas of the new heavens and the new earth, and it seemed like you were talking about that in regards to Eden and Creation. So my question is: Should we think about things like Eden and the new heavens and the new earth as symbolic places, or are they actual real places? And if they are, how do we understand them if the imagery is metaphoric as opposed to descriptive?” (35:25) Kerrie from Australia - “Christians consider the Bible a book that influences the way we live. In the realms of creativity, how should biblical poetry influence Christians today in their writing and creative writing?” (39:30) Clayton from Alabama - “Your conversation about metaphors seem to include a painstaking process of proving and affirming the driving metaphors and schemes that you've focused on. Are there any "guardrails" you suggest for communities of lay people, like college students, that may discover schemes beyond the two that you mentioned, or is there a list or a resource that could serve or help us catch these essential schemes as we engage Scripture?” (42:35) Maggie from Wisconsin - “Can you share any other stories from the New Testament that continue the metaphors that were covered in the Old Testament? Thanks!” Thank you to all of our supporters!

“Do what is easy and your life will be hard; but do what is hard and your life will be easy.” — Les Brown Les Brown’s inspiring story began when he and his brother were born in an abandoned building and adopted by a hardworking domestic worker named Mamie Brown. Dubbed “the dumb twin” by his classmates, Les only began to change his vision of himself when a teacher told him, “Someone’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.” Since then, Les has been a radio personality, a politician and worked in the music business before becoming a heavily sought-after motivational speaker. In this episode, Brian Buffini interviews Les Brown and delves into his inspiring story. You’ll learn why it’s essential to have a “hungry” mindset, what are “OQPs” and why you should surround yourself with them, why goal achievement is located far beyond your comfort zone and how a system will help you attain lasting success. Les also offers a list of his past talks, located for free on YouTube, to watch and learn from.

Focus on what you do have and strengthen that, develop strategic relationships and find a way.” — Mike Williams “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.” — Zig Ziglar “If the end comes for you, let it find you conquering a new mountain not sliding down an old one.” — Jim Rohn “You don’t get in life what you want. You get in life what you are.” — Earl Nightingale “In order to do something you’ve never done, you’ve got to become someone you’ve never been.” — Les Brown “Today you either expand or you’re expendable.” — Les Brown “Ask for help, not because you’re weak but because you want to remain strong.” — Les Brown “Once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want will automatically take over.” — Les Brown “Do what you’re called to do.” — Les Brown “We were not meant to work for a living, but to live our making and our making will make our living.” — Les Brown “Life is about experimenting and finding out ‘what is your sweet spot?’” — Les Brown “If you can control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.” —Carter Godwin Woodson “In life you will always be faced with a series of God-ordained opportunities, brilliantly disguised as problems and challenges.” — Charles Udall   Mentioned in the episode: The Road to Your Best Stuff by Mike Williams Head First: The Biology of Hope and the Healing Power of the Human Spirit by Norman Cousins The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton   Les Brown videos to watch on YouTube: Les Brown Speaking at the Georgia Dome It’s not over until you win!
