If you're of a certain age, you may not know the name Andy Lindberg. But you definitely know his most famous role. Andy played Lard Ass Hogan in the legendary Rob Reiner film "Stand By Me," one of the most beloved coming-of-age movies ever made. His scene, the unforgettable "barf-o-rama" at the pie-eating contest, remains one of the most memorable movie moments of the 1980s. It was gross. It was hilarious. It was impossible to forget. Andy was 14 years old when he filmed the scene in Oregon, a local kid doing local theater who suddenly found himself working on a major motion picture based on a Stephen King story and directed by a man who would go on to become one of the great filmmakers of his generation. And then life kept going. In this episode, Andy shares what it was like to be cast as Lard Ass, how he felt about the role as a teenager, what it was like to return to high school after the movie came out, and why he has had to rethink the shame he carried for years about being "the right fat kid in the right place at the right time." He also shares some wonderful behind-the-scenes stories from the set, including working with Rob Reiner, watching Kiefer Sutherland hold the boom mic, and putting his face into what he estimates were more than 250 pies over the course of filming. To this day, blueberry pie is not exactly his favorite dessert. But Andy's story doesn't end with "Stand By Me." Not even close. After years of acting, including a move to New York and stage work around the country, Andy eventually returned home to Oregon. Today, he is the executive director of Westwind, a remarkable camp and natural area on the Oregon coast that helps kids unplug, connect with nature, and experience something increasingly rare: being fully present in a beautiful place. For Andy, running a summer camp is not as different from theater as it might seem. Both involve creating a temporary world; both have a beginning, middle, and end; both can change people in ways they may not understand until years later. In this episode, Andy shares his journey from childhood movie fame to steward of nature, from the stage to the forest, and from one unforgettable movie scene to a life built around helping kids find wonder in the real world. As Andy says, life is long. You can change course entirely. And it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be.

Habt ihr euch schon mal gefragt, was aus einem Verein wird, der seit elf Jahren Hamburgs Straßen mit „refurbished“ Fahrrädern füllt?. In dieser finalen Folge unserer Reihe zum Westwind Hamburg e.V. schauen wir gemeinsam mit Fritz Urbahn nach vorn und klären die brennendsten Fragen, die für euch als Spender, Helfer oder Interessierte wichtig sind: Hilfe, ich brauche ein Rad! Was müsst ihr eigentlich konkret vorlegen, um als „bedürftig“ zu gelten, und wie läuft so ein Verkaufstag ab, wenn man zwischen 100 Fahrrädern sein Traummodell sucht?. Zwei linke Hände? Kein Problem! Wusstet ihr, dass ihr beim Verein sogar das Schrauben lernen könnt oder dass eure Talente in Social Media und Buchhaltung genauso dringend gebraucht werden wie technisches Geschick?. Kellerfund oder Schrott? Ab wann ist ein gespendetes Fahrrad wirklich ein hoffnungsloser Fall? Fritz verrät uns, warum ihn eine verrostete Kette nicht schocken kann, aber warum ein „Tauchgang in der Alster“ das Aus bedeuten könnte. Wann und wo? Ihr wollt euer altes Rad endlich loswerden? Erfahrt die genauen Zeiten und den Ort in Altona, an dem eure Spende ein neues Leben beginnt. Erfahrt, warum Westwind Hamburg auch in fünf Jahren noch der zentrale Knotenpunkt für Fahrradmobilität und Ehrenamt in unserer Stadt sein will und wie ihr ganz einfach Teil dieses Netzwerks werdet. Seid ihr bereit, Hamburg gemeinsam noch mobiler zu machen? Dann hört jetzt rein und holt euch alle Infos für euren Start bei Westwind!

Habt ihr euch schon mal gefragt, wie ein Verein es schafft, jährlich rund 400 Fahrräder wieder flott zu machen und gleichzeitig eine riesige Werkstatthalle zu finanzieren? In dieser Folge der Themen-Show blicken wir hinter die Kulissen der Gemeinnützigkeit und sprechen über die harten Fakten, die den ehrenamtlichen Alltag begleiten. Fritz Urbahn nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund und beantwortet Fragen, die zeigen, dass Leidenschaft allein manchmal nicht ausreicht, um die Räder am Rollen zu halten: Die Finanzierungslücke: Warum decken die kleinen Sozialgebühren für die Räder gerade mal die Ersatzteile, und wer kommt eigentlich für die Miete der großen Halle und die Gehälter der Hauptamtlichen auf? Das Logistik-Herz Hamburgs: Was verbirgt sich hinter dem „Zentrum für Soziallogistik“ in der Schnackenburgallee, und warum ist dieser Standort für die Hamburger NGO-Szene so überlebenswichtig? Planen im Ungewissen: Wie geht man damit um, wenn man als Verein nie genau weiß, ob man langfristig am Standort bleiben kann, und warum fehlt NGOs oft die Sicherheit einer normalen Firma? Ein Wunsch frei: Was würde Fritz wählen, wenn heute eine gute Fee in der Werkstatt stünde, um die Zukunft des Vereins zu sichern? Erfahrt, warum es für Westwind so wichtig ist, in der Öffentlichkeit „sichtbar“ zu sein, und wie die Stadt Hamburg sowie Unternehmen helfen, damit bedürftige Menschen mobil bleiben können. Wollt ihr wissen, vor welchen Herausforderungen moderne Wohltäter heute wirklich stehen? Dann hört jetzt rein und entdeckt die Geschichte hinter der Werkstattfassade!

Habt ihr euch schon mal gefragt, was eigentlich mit den Fahrrädern passiert, die Hamburger Bürger „schweren Herzens“ abgeben? In dieser Folge der Themen-Show tauchen wir tief in das Herz von Westwind Hamburg e.V. ein. Wir zeigen euch, wie aus einer einfachen Spende ein hochwertiges, „refurbished“ Fortbewegungsmittel wird, das Menschen wieder mobil macht. Fritz Urbahn nimmt uns mit an den Montageständer und beantwortet spannende Fragen, die ihr euch sicher auch schon gestellt habt: Qualität statt Schrott: Wie verwandeln 12 Werkstattplätze und professionelle Zweiradmechaniker gebrauchte Räder in sichere Begleiter, und was passiert eigentlich mit den Teilen, die man nicht mehr retten kann? Erfolg ohne Profit: Woran misst ein gemeinnütziger Verein seinen Erfolg, wenn 4.800 Fahrräder in 11 Jahren nur der Anfang sind? Das „zweite Schaufenster“: Müsst ihr eigentlich Profi-Schrauber sein, um mitzuhelfen, oder finden bei Westwind auch Menschen ohne technisches Händchen ihren Platz im Team? Gelebte Integration: Warum ist die Werkstatt an der Schnackenburgallee so ein bunter Ort der Begegnung, an dem man die unterschiedlichsten Sprachen hört? Erfahrt, wie Nachhaltigkeit und soziales Engagement in Hamburg Hand in Hand gehen und warum es manchmal sogar ein bisschen wehtut, wenn ein Fahrrad nicht die richtige Größe hat. Wollt ihr wissen, wie auch ihr ein Teil dieser Erfolgsgeschichte werden könnt? Dann hört jetzt rein und lasst euch von der Begeisterung für das Ehrenamt anstecken!

This week, we talk to two sets of artists that have teamed up! Jenni and John Marsh just finished directing "The West Wind" at Muncie Civic Theatre. It's the third play they've written together, and they'll take us into their collaborative creative process. And: Ruthie Berkey and Randy Eyestone are both musicians in their own right, but they've teamed up for performances across East Central Indiana—including the Pop studios.Also in this show, we get driven straight to summer with Candace Angelica Walsh's Beautiful Thing "Playing Hooky," and we'll talk with respected glass artist Brent Cole!

Habt ihr euch schon mal überlegt, wie sich euer Alltag verändern würde, wenn ihr euch kein Fahrrad leisten könntet? In einer Stadt wie Hamburg bedeutet ein Rad nicht nur Mobilität, sondern echte Teilhabe am Leben – vom Weg zur Schule bis hin zum Sport oder einfach dem Spaß an der Fahrt. In dieser Folge der Themen-Show haben wir Fritz Urbahn vom Verein Westwind Hamburg e.V. zu Gast. Wir gehen Fragen auf den Grund, die zeigen, wie viel Herzblut in alten Speichen stecken kann: Vom Notfall zum Dauerbrenner: Wie entstand vor elf Jahren aus einer spontanen Initiative für Geflüchtete ein gemeinnütziger Verein, der heute das „Kerngeschäft“ mit gespendeten Fahrrädern meistert? Mobilität als Brücke: Wer sind die Menschen, die ohne die Hilfe von Westwind buchstäblich auf der Strecke bleiben würden, und warum ist ein Fahrrad oft der erste Schritt in ein neues Leben? Schrauben für den guten Zweck: Was motiviert jemanden aus einem technischen Beruf, seine Freizeit in der Werkstatt zu verbringen, und wie sieht der „Puls“ der Arbeit zwischen alten und neuen Rädern eigentlich aus? Erfahrt, wie Westwind Hamburg dafür sorgt, dass bedürftige Menschen nicht nur von A nach B kommen, sondern Hamburg wirklich erleben und mitmachen können. Seid ihr bereit für eine Brise Westwind? Dann hört jetzt rein und entdeckt, wie aus einer alten Spende ein Stück Freiheit wird!

An icon of Irish traditional music will be laid to rest today, Friday 20th. Dolores Keane passed away peacefully on Monday at the age of 72. Born into a family steeped in traditional music and song, the Galway native was the vocalist in the original Dé Danann lineup before she launched her solo career which yielded five albums. Best known for her interpretations of songs like ‘Caledonia', ‘Galway Bay' and ‘The Island', she was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the TG4 Gradam Ceoil awards ceremony in 2022. American country legend Nanci Griffith called her “the queen of the soul of Ireland” and described her voice as “sacred”. A number of years ago, Dolores took part in Clare FM's annual show 'In My Own Words'. Eoin O'Neill, the presenter of the West Wind joined Alan Morrissey to pay a tribute.

I sing the Song of Hiawatha,Brave of heart and strong of arm.Daughter's son of old Nokomis,Fathered by the harsh West Wind.With its regular, beating rhythm, the Song of Hiawatha has often been parodied, but in truth, it is a powerful, emotional epic; a hero's life, his loves and suffering. The legends and traditions of the North American Indian swirl together through the tale like a mountain stream, tumbling white over the rocks, and caressing the mossy tree roots.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Het tweede boek in de populaire De Vier Winden-reeks van Alexandria Warwick. Uitgegeven door Cargo Spreker: Wynn Heliczer

In today's message, Dr. Jackie Greene continues our Winds of Revival series with a powerful word titled “West Wind.”The West Wind represents the wind of restoration — the movement of God that doesn't just bring life, but clears what has been lingering too long. Drawing from Exodus 10:19, Dr. Jackie teaches how the West Wind came and swept away the locusts, reminding us that when God sends His wind, it comes to remove loss, restore what was stolen, and make room for renewal.Through Ezekiel 37, we see how the breath of God brings dry bones back to life, and through Joel 2:25, we're reminded that God is faithful to restore the years that were eaten. This message is a call to recognize the season we're in, respond to the wind of God, and stand up actively in faith as restoration moves through our lives.

Watson Lake, Prescott - Foto: Franz RosenbergerEs ist mal wieder soweit. Wir stellen an dieser Stelle ausnahmsweise mal kein neues Auto vor, sondern geben einen Tipp für eine Reise, die man mit dem Auto unternehmen sollte. Allerdings erst, wenn man am Zielort Arizona angekommen ist!Darum geht es diesmal!Innerhalb unserer Themenreihen rund um Automobile geben wir immer mal wieder Tipps zu interessanten Reisezielen im In- und Ausland, die man mit dem Auto erkunden kann. Zu den schönsten Reisezielen gehört für mich die Historic Route 66, auch bekannt als Mother Road of USA.Foto: (c) Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport  Neue Route 66 Ausstellung am Phoenix AirportArizona-Urlauber, die es während ihrer USA-Reise nicht geschafft haben, die historische Route 66 zu besuchen, können nun noch vor Abflug am Phoenix Airport mehr über die historische Straße erfahren. Anlässlich des bevorstehenden 100. Jubiläums des Route 66 im Jahr 2026, bietet die Ausstellung „Stories from the Mother Road“ zahlreiche Informationen über ebendiese, darunter auch viele Fotos berühmter Attraktionen entlang der Route 66. Zudem können Besucher ein Foto mit einem großformatigen Ausschnitt eines Ford Super Deluxe Woody Station Wagon aus dem Jahr 1942 machen. Die Ausstellung befindet sich im internationalen Terminal 4, kann auch von Nicht-Passagieren besucht werden und ist bis April 2024 geöffnet.Chiricahua National Monument - Foto: Arizona Office of Tourism -  Ein verstecktes Juwel: Das Chiricahua National MonumentNoch gilt es als Geheimtipp:  Das in der Nähe von Willcox gelegene Chiricahua National Monument ist ein verstecktes Juwel im Süden Arizonas, in dem Besucher zwischen besonderen Rhyolith-Felszinnen wandern können, die aus den Überresten eines alten Vulkanausbruchs entstanden sind. Sie sind besser bekannt als Hoodoos.  Chiricahua National Monument – Foto: Joe LeitheimReisende können die über 27 Kilometer langen Wanderwege des Gebiets erkeunden, darunter den beliebten Echo Canyon Trail, wo Wanderer die unregelmäßigen Felsformationen hautnah erleben können. Als eine der „Himmelsinseln” der Region finden die Besucher vier Ökosysteme vor, die es zu erforschen gilt, wenn sie sich in die höheren Ebenen des Monuments begeben. Das Chiricahua National Monument könnte in Kürze neben dem Grand Canyon, dem Petrified Forest und dem Saguaro National Park als vierter Nationalpark Arizonas ausgewiesen werden. Dies würde dazu beitragen, das Bewusstsein für diese wunderschöne Gegend des Bundesstaats, die derzeit als Geheimtipp gilt, und die Naturschutzinitiativen im Süden Arizonas zu fördern. Monument Valley - Foto: (c) Westwind Air Service Das Monument Valley aus der Luft entdecken Für Besucher, die das Monument Valley aus der Vogelperspektive betrachten möchten, haben sich Westwind und Redtail Air mit Goulding's Lodge zusammengetan und bieten Rundflüge an. Die Tagestour von Westwind bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die berühmten roten Sandsteine des Tals aus der Luft, bevor man nach der Landung zu einer Geländetour durch den Park aufbricht. Für diejenigen, die länger bleiben möchten, kann die Tour auch eine Übernachtung in der Goulding's Lodge beinhalten.Fotos: ©  Siehe Einzelnachweise bei den Fotos  Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

A lecture given at L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, Massachusetts. For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/ by Sarah Chestnut Over the centuries, poets have sung praises to athletic victories, Grecian urns, and the "wild West Wind" of Autumn, and odes praising the ordinary--socks, tomatoes, drinking water from cupped hands--raise an exultant voice in contemporary poetry. The command to "praise the Lord!" is a defining feature of the Psalms, and one catechism states that to "glorify God and enjoy him forever" is the "chief end" of human life. What does it mean to praise? What does praise do? How might a richer understanding of praising inspire and equip us for the hard work of being human?

Highlights China Cleantech Exports Boom Lauri Myllyvirta @CREA notes value of China's exports of clean energy technologies hit a new all-time record in July, passing the previous high from March 2023. China exported $18.4bn worth of solar and wind power equipment, EVs and batteries during the month. Australia Brazil Chamber of Commence Forum ABCC business forum in the lead up to COP30, Organised by the wonderful Mara Bun. We also head about Brazil looking to develop world leading green iron projects. Lowlights Qld LNP State Government Capture by the Fossil fuel Industry looks complete Climate science deniers in the State LNP have stopped Queensland's powerful progress towards energy transition and decarbonisation, taking heart at the stupidity of Trump in the US to replicate his corruption of democracy Last week's decision to pull legislation enabling the development of Westwind's 1.2GW Forest Wind project in a state pine forest – a monoculture with low biodiversity – creates massive investor uncertainty. Meanwhile, building on Adani's success in winning a 7 year royalty holiday for their Galilee coal mine from the LNP. Rumours that the development of the Galilee Coal Basin is back on the agenda, most likely led by climate science denying Gina and her sidekick billionaire mate, Clive. Bowden Lead Mine progressing in NSW Environmental Solicitor Elaine Jonston is working with the local community of Mudgee to protect them against a proposed lead-zinc-silver mine development 2km from a school. BHP defers decarbonisation Really disappointing to hear BHP has walked back their decarbonisation investments, cancelling solar and BESS in the Pilbara even as they say mining EV technologies are not commercially viable as yet. Main Story EU Delegation to WA re Green Hydrogen and Iron Tim attended and spoke at a Green Hydrogen and Iron forum in Perth organised by the Danish and German Governments to develop EU-Australia strategic agreements in decarbonisation of industry. The 30 strong delegation from the EU spent 3 days touring the Pilbara and Midwest WA, the two major areas of iron ore mining, and the locations for potential DRI and green iron refineries. A follow-on private meeting with the WA Premier was set for this week to try to seal inter-government cooperation for this geopolitically important FOA deal in green iron for Australia to proceed toward FEED and FID and then into construction. Tim's hope is Minister Bowen gets to announce 3 lighthouse green iron deals as president of COP31, leveraging public-private bilateral / trilateral deals with Germany, China and Korea/Japan Coming up Hopefully this month we will see if Adelaide is to host COP30 next November 2026, in partnership with the Pacific. The process remains opaque and tortuous, and bizarrely if Australia cant convince Turkey to pull out, we both lose and Germany gets to host it. We also have the National Risk Assessment for Climate report pending, its sitting on Minister Bowen's desk, alongside Dr Frank Jotzo's final carbon leakage review report, and the 2035 NDC for Australia. Lets hope Bowen listens to the climate science and sets our target at 75% rather than the BCA's total lack of ambition going for more like 60%.

Chapter 1 - The Departure of BoromirHe turned from the North back again to North, and saw nothing save the distant hills, unless it were that far away he could see again a great bird like an eagle high in the air, descending slowly in wide circles down towards the earth.Q1 - What, if any, symbolism is there with the Eagles?Q2 - Why does Aragorn always shout Elendil?‘Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed.' ‘No!' said Aragorn, taking his hand and kissing his brow. ‘You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!' Boromir smiled. ‘Which way did they go? Was Frodo there?' said Aragorn. But Boromir did not speak again.Q3 - What do you think about Boromir's passing?Q4 - Is Aragorn making the right decision?Chapter 2 - The Riders of Rohan‘I think that the enemy brought his own enemy with him,' answered Aragorn. ‘These are Northern Orcs from far away. Among the slain are none of the great Orcs with the strange badges. There was a quarrel, I guess: it is no uncommon thing with these foul folk. Maybe there was some dispute about the road.'Q1 - What do you think their quarrel was about?Q2 - These chapters keep mentioning this West Wind for Gondor…what is that about?Q3 - How tense was this chapter with the chase…Q4 - What is the deal with Saruman poisoning the land or their journey?Gimli rose and planted his feet firmly apart: his hand gripped the handle of his axe, and his dark eyes flashed. ‘Give me your name, horse-master, and I will give you mine, and more besides,' he said. ‘As for that,' said the Rider, staring down at the Dwarf, ‘the stranger should declare himself first. Yet I am named E´omer son of E´omund, and am called the Third Marshal of Riddermark.' ‘Then E´omer son of E´omund, Third Marshal of Riddermark, let Gimli the Dwarf Glo´in's son warn you against foolish words. You speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thought, and only little wit can excuse you.' E´omer's eyes blazed, and the Men of Rohan murmured angrily, and closed in, advancing their spears. ‘I would cut off your head, beard and all, Master Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground,' said E´omer. ‘He stands not alone,' said Legolas, bending his bow and fitting an arrow with hands that moved quicker than sight. ‘You would die before your stroke fell.'Q5 - Don't insult Galadriel around Gimli.‘Halflings!' laughed the Rider that stood beside E´omer. ‘Halflings! But they are only a little people in old songs and children's tales out of the North. Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in the daylight?'Q6 - What do you think of Eomer and his disbelief that Hobbits are real? Some years ago the Lord of the Black Land wished to purchase horses of us at great price, but we refused him, for he puts beasts to evil use. Then he sent plundering Orcs, and they carry off what they can, choosing always the black horses: few of these are now left. For that reason our feud with the Orcs is bitter.Q7 - So the men of Rohan, have NOT been selling horses to Sauron?Chapter 3 - The Uruk-HaiHe cut the thongs round Pippin's legs and ankles, picked him up by his hair and stood him on his feet. Pippin fell down, and Uglu´k dragged him up by his hair again. Several Orcs laughed. Uglu´k thrust a flask between his teeth and poured some burning liquid down his throat: he felt a hot fierce glow flow through him. The pain in his legs and ankles vanished. He could stand.Q1 - What is this stuff?When he had forced a drink from his flask down the hobbit's throat, cut his leg-bonds, and dragged him to his feet, Merry stood up, looking pale but grim and defiant, and very much alive. The gash in his forehead gave him no more trouble, but he bore a brown scar to the end of his days. ‘Hullo, Pippin!' he said. ‘So you've come on this little expedition, too? Where do we get bed and breakfast?'Q2 - Is Merry going crazy or is he just making Pippen laugh?Q3 - There's an arrow that hits Grishnuk that is guided by fate, the book suggests…what role does fate play in the story so far?

Welcome to Episode 15 of Pattern Portraits!Lauren Godfrey chats with artist Navine G Dossos, about wearing painting, pattern as lexicon and the connections between geometry and philosophy.This episode was recorded on the occasion of her solo exhibition ‘Riviera' at Devonshire Collective's VOLT gallery in Eastbourne.Navine is an artist living between London and Aegina in Greece working predominantly in painting and increasingly in the public realm. She has a keen interest in pattern and through her work explores geometric abstraction, merging traditions coming from Islamic art with the algorithmic nature of the interconnected world we live in.Navine studied History of Art at Cambridge University, Arabic at Kuwait University, Islamic Art at the Prince's School of Traditional Art in London, and holds an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design.Her exhibition at Volt is a commission led by Towner Eastbourne in collaboration with Devonshire Collective and presents a new collaboratively designed patterned textile featuring a language of symbols developed from the surrounding area of Eastbourne and the people that live there. The textile is available for free for visitors to take a 2 metre length with which to make a garment or furnishing, thus disseminating the pattern across the town, country and potentially the globe. A truly public artwork it also manifests as a series of awnings on nearby shopfronts, peppering the town with pattern.Navine has chosen a beautiful palette of patterns including a Raoul Dufy textile from 1920, an Islamic Geometric pattern, A Japanese wave pattern, the Photoshop transparency grid and two patterns by the Bloomsbury Group; 'Pamela' by Vanessa Bell / Duncan Grant and ‘West Wind' by Duncan Grant.You can see all of Navine's patterns and more on instagram @patternportraitspodcast‘Monumental Intimacy' - The PATTERN PORTRAIT print artwork to accompany Navine's interview and featuring the patterns we discuss is available to buy now at www.laurengodfrey.co.ukReferences:Agnes MartinCharleston House Hosted on Acast.

**NEW**In this edited version of Episode 119, we added more documentation that came forward ,spiced up the intro, and filled in who was on the Global Advisory Panel (GAP). Head to 1:34:30 to find out what the PBCC wanted to buy David, 1:54:38 to find out what elite PBCC members sit on the GAP panel, 2:03:40 for the full compilation of the viral videos on the Klondike Papers and don't miss out on the new spicy intro! Preachers, pedophiles, private investigators, lawyers and liars, criminals, and crooked cops, big business, bibles, black eyes and bribery, and lots and lots of money. Welcome to the strange Jekyll and Hyde world of the “Universal Elderhood” of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, whose revered priests and leaders, Brothers Brad Mitchell and Rod Diplock, preach the Gospel of Christ Jesus by day, and transform like werewolves into “Frestey” and “Westwind” to hunt opposers by night. Meet Brother “Stranger Things” Mick Strange, the foul-mouthed priest of Oz, and his lackey “Prince of Darkness” Keith Prince who bankrolls their dark ops from Tillsonburg town. Meet Gerald Chipeur, KC, Counsel to the Conservative Party of Canada, and the PBCC, who preaches in the temples of the 7th Day Adventist Church, administers Justice in the law courts of Alberta, and procures and pays criminals $5000 a time to sign false affidavits for his clients. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” - and extraordinary evidence is exactly what we give you - a score or more of emails, recordings and text messages between the PBCC priesthood, and their operatives from the underworld, extracted from the famous Klondike papers and published here for the first time. And our special guest today? No less than David Wallace, political ratf@cker turned whistleblower, without whom Richard would probably be dead, and “Get-a-Life” would never have been conceived.

“we turned our faces westward” [SIXN]     While Sherlock Holmes is a perennial British subject, his influence in and by America cannot be denied. Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes were admirers of the United States, and A West Wind, a recent BSI Press book, delves into that relationship.  Co-editors Ray Betzner, BSI ("The Agony Column") and Tom Horrocks, BSI ("Colonel Sebastian Moran") join us to talk about this remarkable book. We're also joined by a contributor of the book who offers some insight into how Sherlock Holmes was presented to Americans visually.

Some of today's top storiesthe ongoing investigation into Kern County Supervisor Zack Scrivner.     Scrivner is accused of sexually assaulting a child back in late April, but the second district supervisor's whereabouts have remained unknown since.    After nearly six weeks of silence surrounding this case, today *COULD* be his first public appearance since the accusations.  17's Aleeya Fitzgerald is live in front of the Downtown Justice Building with more.This morning marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day....and we're highlighting some of the veterans who were on the beaches that day.    Here's Marielena Balouris with one veteran's message.We are one step closer to the groundbreaking of Bakersfield's new Veteran's Affairs Clinic.     Hanford Congressman David Valadao helped pass a bill yesterday that's now headed to the Senate.  If passed... the bill would require the V-A to move forward with construction no later than September 30, 2025.    A new clinic has been promised... yet never delivered since its approval by Congress in 2009.     The new clinic would be a $40 million medical facility in north Bakersfield... offering primary and specialty care.    The latest in the legal tug of war?     A lawsuit filed December 2023.     Progress for Bakersfield Veterans LLC... a subsidary of Cardinal Equities... and Friends of the Bakersfield Kit Fox and Environment... a nonprofit... are against it.     Since the start... the new VA Clinic has faced the same roadblock... Cardinal Equities... the owner of the land on which the current VA Clinic sits on Westwind.     Cardinal's owner Peter Cohen has been accused of delaying construction for profit... renting out that current clinic site.     17 News has been reaching out to  Cohen but we have never heard back.
