Jack Baylor is a 7-night-a-week drunk, but tonight, his life will change when he finds a gun in an alley.

A busy weekend at Emerald Downs is topped by a stakes doubleheader! Saturday is the 6 1/2 furlong Irish Day Stakes featuring Miner League, who's on a four-race winning streak, including the June 16 Auburn Stakes. Miner League meets Whiskeyjack for the first time, who was an impressive allowance winner here July 3. Sunday, 11 three-year-old fillies meet in the Kent Stakes, also at 6 1/2 furlongs. Appeal Factor is the clear favorite, bringing in her unbeaten three-for-three record. Trainer Grant Forster joins Joe and Vince and relates the schedule to defend Five Star General's Longacres Mile title is alive and well for the August 11 Classic. Ron Callan, one of last Saturday's “Old Media Alumni,” relates stories of his career in Seattle television and radio and his journey to Oregon State athletics.

The Second Gathering happens, attended by wise Kruppe. We do some math, vote for Whiskeyjack for president (with Korlat as Vice President and First Lady of course), and gush over Itkovian because he's just so awesome.

Tasting Notes:  The shocking truth about Jack Daniel's is that the older the whiskey and higher the proof the BETTER it keeps getting. Whiskey brands for years have leant on marketing speak around "the perfect age" or "aged to perfection" while being relatively vague about actual age, but then end up releasing older whiskies that just aren't quite as good as their regular line up. This is not the case with Jack, as every experiment in longer ageing as well as higher proofs has proven far superior to the regularly released item. The second batch of Jack 12yr is just such a whiskey. Maple sugar goodness up and down the nose with piles of dessert aromas including toasted marshmallows. On the palate, more caramel and maple with the perfect amount of spice. Bottled at 107 proof, PERFECT in my opinion.

Do you get energy when you are around someone who just loves what they do? After sitting down with Jack Daniel's Brand Ambassador Jed Lirette I had energy for days. Jed Lirette is Senior Homeplace Ambassador at the Jack Daniel Distillery. Every day looks a little different for Jed, whether he's conducting VIP tastings and barrel selections, leading press tours or participating in a Jack Daniel's commercial. When he's not making friends for the brand in Lynchburg, Jed represents the distillery at events in Nashville and beyond. Jed was hired as a tour guide for the distillery in 2015. Soon after, he became an official whiskey taster, heading to the quality control lab every Friday morning to sample freshly mellowed new whiskey. In 2019, he was named senior ambassador tour guide. Before his time at Jack, Jed was enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served 15 years in numerous IT roles, notably as a senior network engineer for the U.S. Department of Defense. Jed was deployed to the UK, Dubai, Germany, Qatar and Afghanistan during his service. Jed may no longer have top-secret security clearance, but at Jack Daniel's, he's charged with upholding the values and traditions of a 156-year-old brand he's long admired. Jed's experience as a tour guide – and his curiosity about whiskey making and local lore – has ignited a passion for the brand and the place that he shares with visitors from around the world each day. A native of Houma, Louisiana, Jed has called the Lynchburg area home since 1985. Jed and his wife Maribeth live in Petersburg, Tennessee and have three children.

Rolex Sailor of the year Melodie Schaffer raced her boat Whiskey Jack in the Globe 40, a 35,000-mile, eight-leg, double handed around the world race in in Class 40s. Seven teams took part in the 175-day event which started in Morocco and endd in France. Overall, “Whiskey Jack”, Melodie and co-skippers: Gary Jacques, Mikael Ryking, Jeronimo Santos, Robert Phillips, Paul Stratfold and Tom Pierce, took 5th place, and set the overall speed record for the race with an average speed of 14.3kn, for a distance of 347 miles in 24 hours. Through the race, she also faced storms and countless broaches,  over a dozen sails repairs, a spinnaker wrap that took 36 hours to clear in 25 knots and 5m waves, had a damaged rudder and two incidents of smoke in the cabin.   In this wide ranging discussion we discussed her early days dinghy racing, getting the offshore bug later in life and a terrifying story of a run in with a modern day pirate ship.

In this special episode, the gang discusses the conclusion of one of the greatest manga/anime series ever created, Attack on Titan, with one of the most insightful minds and avid Attack on Titan enthusiasts, WhiskeyJack. We delve into favorite arcs, characters, and major takeaways from the masterpiece created by Hajime Isayama.

  The last Jack heritage barrel release was one of my ALL TIME favorite whiskies. If I ever see that blue label I jump on it. This year's heritage barrel release is a twice barreled rye whisky at 100 proof and I'm happy to say it meets if not exceeds the high bar set by the first heritage barrel release. A unique "reverse" barrel that's HAVILY toasted, but then LIGHTLY charred, it imparts in the finishing process a balance of toast, fruit, and pillowy soft cinnamon inflected oak that I've simply never tasted in another whiskey release. Woodford Double Oaked has the beginnings of it, but this Jack Heritage Rye takes it all the way.

Tasting Notes: In the ever forward march of the Jack Daniel's brand, the rerelease of Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof Single Barrel Rye is another reason to celebrate. This particular bottling clocks in at 132.3 proof and packs a punch. Completely mature oak, fruit, and leather notes along with baking spices round out the nose. On the palate, mouthwatering dollops of rye spice, with a deep woodsy bitterness slathered with sweet caramel and toffee. This is rich, powerful, literally mouthwatering juicy rye.

Finally, I am getting around to reviewing Jack Daniel's 12 Year!  Will 2 extra years really set it apart from the 10 year?  Let's find out!Jack Daniels decided to release a 10 year and 12 year whiskey not that long ago.  The 10 year was decent, which means it was a mediocre release.That being said, I am excited to finally get this Jack 12 review done.  I want to see what an extra 2 years of Tennessee seasons would do to the whiskey.  It might be very close to the 10 year whiskey, but, that would be a disappointment in my eyes.  The age is so close in these releases, that I think you NEED to have a huge difference in flavors if you want to justify doing it this way.  Otherwise, just dump it all in the 10 and have one release.  You could also age it longer and see what happens.What I wanted to see from this one is a richer, fuller version of that Jack Daniels flavor profile.  Join me, as I see if that is what I get.Call or Text the show at 941-301-8503!Get your official Whiskey Straight Up Merchandise: https://whiskeystraightup.com/shop/Get better help with BetterHelp!

Tasting Notes:  The latest in ROCK SOLID Jack Daniel's innovation is a 97-proof, batch 2, 10yr old. Woodsy leather, herbs, and creamy vanilla on the nose with a touch of cornbread. On the palate, chewy leather, fresh cut oak with tropical fruit, and more sweet corn mush. All around a big, rich oil and leather-laden whiskey. This is vintage garage-drinking whiskey! 

Today we spoke with our friend Cheryl Whiskeyjack. We talked about our entwined journeys, advancing reconciliation, kinship and so much more.

Tasting Notes:  Batch 01 of Jack Daniel's 12yr is a 107-proof flavor juggernaut. Ever since Heritage showed the world how complex and delicious Jack Daniels could be at a luxury price point, they've kept bringing out hit after hit. The cost alone of Jack 12 is worth the price of admission. Rich toffee and caramel with touches of coffee, chocolate, and orchard fruit. On the palate, EXCEPTIONALLY rich mouthfeel. More fruit, more leather, subtle spice, and a load of dessert-like flavors. The folks in Lynchburg MUST have known how good their spirit was in these ages, but now the rest of the world gets to experience it. Do whatever it takes to get a bottle this year!

Summary: In this final episode of Family Corvidae join Cheryl and Kiersten as they talk about what makes jays so interesting and learn about the five different jays found in Arizona.   For our hearing impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: Ornithology by Frank B. Gill  Https://corvidresearch.blog/catergory/jay-behavior/   Transcript   Host Voice: Welcome to The Feathered Desert a podcast all about desert bird feeding in the Southwest region of the United States. (Various bird calls play) Corvidae Family Part Four: Jays Kiersten: Intro – Welcome to the Feathered Desert, everyone!  This is part four of Family Corvidae, our final episode on this amazing bird family. In part four we are discussing Jays. This is my second favorite bird in the Corvidae family. My first is Ravens and I know Cheryl is extremely partial to crows.   Cheryl: Yes, I am!   Kiersten: If you have listened to the previous three parts you know that this bird family is celebrated for its complicated behaviors and problem-solving skills. Jays are no exception to this and the one attribute they are most well-known for is their spatial memory capacity.               First question is, what exactly is spatial memory? Spatial memory is a form of memory responsible for the recording and recovery of information needed to plan a course to a location and to recall the location of an object or the occurrence of an event.   Cheryl: Something that humans need more of! (laughs)   Kiersten: Spatial memory is necessary for orientation in space. In layman's terms, it means you can recall where you put your car keys or remember the route to the grocery store. Without this kind of memory, you just stumble through life coming across things randomly.               The part of the brain that processes spatial memory is the hippocampus. The hippocampus of both mammals and birds are functionally identical, meaning they both process the same kind of information in the same way. Birds that rely heavily on seed-caching, like our Jays, have an enlarged hippocampus. Their enlarged hippocampus helps jays remember all the places they've hidden seeds for future use. In general, they have an 85% retrieval rate. The size of the hippocampus in jays was quite a surprise when scientists discovered it, but has led to a whole variety of questions about bird memory and social relationships.             Cheryl: Birds! The never-ending amazing facts! How I marvel at them! Canada Jay             We're going to start off with the Canada Jay and I'm kinda excited because I didn't know we had them in Arizona. My first experience with a Canada Jay was when I was up in Yellowstone National Park. We are lucky to have five different jays in Arizona and we're going to talk about one that is found in only a small portion of Northeast Arizona first, the Canada Jay. There are several subspecies of the Canada Jay that range across the northern North American continent. The one we will see most commonly in Arizona is a medium sized bird at approximately 11.5 inches with gray wings and tail, white chest, and pale gray underparts. The head is white with a gray stipe that circles the head from eye to eye. The beak and legs are both black. The Canada jay has no crest and a short, small beak. Juveniles are all gray. This jay is also known as the Gray Jay, Camp Robber, and Whiskey Jack. I have a story to go with the Camp Robber! They are found mainly in coniferous forests in Arizona. They eat insects, berries, seeds, carrion, bird eggs, and fungi. They forage in trees, shrubs, on the ground, and can catch insects on the wing.             As we talked about before, this jay caches food but they have something that sets them apart from other jays. They have super sticky saliva! When they find food that they want to cache, such as seeds, they coat it in their sticky saliva and they deposit it on the sides of a tree trunk or the bottom of a tree branch. Once the saliva dries, it hardens around the food and keeps it safe for later use. The reason they place it on tree trunks is to keep it available when the snow covers the ground, especially in the northern regions where they are found. They are a non-migratory bird so they tough out the winter where ever they live. Placing their caches above the snow allows them to survive the winter and awards them the most northernly jay on the continent.               When we were in Yellowstone we were cooking outside at the fire and had a run-in with Camp Robber! We were cooking chicken kabobs that you would cook over the campfire and these birds began to collect over our campsite. One swooped down and snagged a piece of un-cooked chicken off the cutting board! By the time we organized to get everything covered them took green pepper, potato, carrot, a few chips, and a roll! Talk about a Camp Robber!   Kiersten: Mexican Jay             Next, we're travelling down to the Southeastern corner of Arizona to talk about the Mexican Jay. Once again, there are several subspecies of this jay and their coloration can vary by population. The one found in Arizona ranges between 11-13 inches in length. The face, head, neck, back, wings, and tail are a bright sky-blue color while the throat, chest, and belly are white. They have no visible crest. The beak is long and wider at the head tapering down to the end. It is black, as are their legs. They prefer pine, oak, and juniper woodlands. They eat fruits, insects, seeds, carrion, bird eggs, and acorns. Acorns are especially coveted and are often cached for later use. They find about 85% of these cached acorns, but the ones they forget about are extremely important to the environment because those will grow into mighty oaks. Mexican Jays are very family-oriented jays and can live in groups of 5-25 that often contain parents, siblings, and other relatives in the same territory or in an adjacent territory. They can live up to 20 years surrounded by family. With the warming temperatures brought on by Climate Change, Mexican Jays in Arizona now lay eggs 10 days earlier than they used to back in the 1970s.   Cheryl: Pinyon Jay             Our next amazing jay is found throughout most of Arizona except the southwestern portion of the state. The Pinyon Jay is approximately 10.5 inches in length and is a lovely azure blue from head to tail. They have no visible crest. The beak and legs are both black. Clear leg feathers can be seen giving them the look of pants. The beak is thin but great for cracking open seeds. They prefer habitats with ponderosa pines, pinyon-junipers, and mixed forests of oak and pine. They eat nuts, pine seeds, grass seeds, berries, fruits, insects, and eggs. They forage in trees mostly but will go to ground for something worth their while, and have been seen searching for food in coniferous forests at elevation of 3,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level.             Unlike other jays, the pinyon jay does not have feathers that cover their nostrils. This is because they probe deep into pitch-covered pinecones to extract the seeds and if they had feathers covering their nostrils, they would get goopy. It is also why this jay's beak is so slender compared to other corvids. Breeding season in pinyon jays is closely correlated to the seeding time of the pinyon pine and when green pinecones appear it can trigger their breeding hormones. These birds can live in flocks up to 500 and they often stay in that flock their entire lives.   So those aren't necessarily family groups?   Kiersten: Definitely! I'm sure there is some family but this is a big enough group you'll find someone you're not related to.   Cheryl: They have a strict dominance hierarchy that they abide by that is decided through observation alone, not direct interaction. For example, if Jay H sees Jay T, a dominant bird to Jay H, respect Jay F's dominance, Jay H will also concede to Jay F's dominance without having to physically interact with him.   That's like mutual respect.   Kiersten: It is and it makes a whole lot of sense! If you are living in a group of 500 and are constantly jostling for position, you'd be fighting all the time and never get anything done. It's so amazing!   Cheryl: We could learn something from birds there. They get more done than we do!   Kiersten: Steller's Jay             Our next jay is our most strikingly colored jay, in my opinion. The Steller's Jay is approximately 11.5 inches in length with a black head, face, neck, and back and light blue underbelly and dark blue wings and tail that have black striping. This jay has a prominent black crest that they can raise or lower. In Arizona they are found in the eastern portion of the state with some residents in the northwestern areas,  as well. We are in the eastern half of their North American range and our populations often have thin, white stripes on the face above the eye and on the forehead. Like most of our other jays they prefer wooded forests as their chosen habitat. They eat nuts, seeds, acorns, small invertebrates, and bird eggs.             The crest on the Steller's jay is used to communicate with other jays. When the crest is raised to 90 degrees this can indicate an imminent attack, but if the crest is lowered flat the jay will most likely retreat. The length of the crest will vary by population and it is determined by the openness of the vegetation in their habitat and the effectiveness of the crests as social cues. There are several subspecies of this jay ranging somewhere between 15-17 different subspecies but all are found in the western portion of the US. They get their name from Georg Steller, the European naturalist who discovered the species in 1741.             Cheryl: Okay. I have a question. It has to do with subspecies. What exactly is that?   Kiersten: A subspecies is usually a population difference. Different regions will have slightly different versions of the species. It is most often determined by isolation. Coloration or size will differ in the entire population and scientists will determine whether they are considered a subspecies or not. They are all Steller's Jays but with slight regional differences that are common enough in a population to make them a subspecies.   Cheryl: Thank you!   Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay             Our final Arizona jay is Woodhouse's Scrub Jay. Their approximate length is 11.5 inches and they have a blue head with a thin, white eyebrow stripe and gray cheek patch. Their neck, wings, and tail are blue. The upper back is dark gray. The throat is white and the underparts are light gray. Beak and legs are black. They have no crest. They are found in the majority of Arizona with the exception of the southwestern corner. They are found only in the Southwestern region of the United States and Central Mexico. It prefers pinyon pines and juniper forests but can also be found in oak woodlands and mixed forests. They eat insects, grains, small lizards, frogs, fruits, and bird eggs.  They have been seen picking ticks off the backs of Mule Deer.             The Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay used to be lumped together with other species of scrub jays all called the Western Scrub Jay, but as time has gone by and populations of birds become more isolated scientists have broken the Western scrub jay into different species such as the California Scrub Jay and the Woodhouse's Scrub Jay. When these birds ranged across the entire United States the Florida Scrub Jay was also included in this group and all were just called Scrub Jays. There is also the Island Scrub-Jay that lives only on the island of Santa Cruz off the coast of California. This particular jay is helping scientists replant trees that were burned from wildfires.             Kiersten: Replanting forests is actually one of the most important jobs that all jays across the continent have. When the birds cache their nuts and seeds, they don't just cache any nuts and seeds, they must be just right, kind of like Goldie Locks. These birds look for the perfect nuts by shaking their heads after they've picked up the nut with their beaks. This motion helps them determine the weight of the nut. The weight of the nut can tell them exactly how many seeds are in the shell and whether it's worth their effort to cache it. This also means these are healthy seeds that, if left buried, will grow into new trees, and as we mentioned before, jays have great memories but they always miss a few caches. I think that's by design!   Cheryl: Yes!   Kiersten: Researchers on the Island of Santa Cruz have put the Island Scrub-Jay to work replanting the island's lost trees by offering them acorns to cache. For a more in-depth look at this project check out our Groundbreaking Women of Ornithology Part 1.   We hope you've learned some new things from our Family Corvidae series. I know we both learned a lot as we researched and wrote each episode. This family of birds never stops amazing us!

It was another AJ-less episode and The New Moderator and Iceman were there to ensure he was not missed. The New Dynamic Duo recapped the latest Apple Event but it somehow dovetailed into really deep topics that neither were prepared for. They somehow pivoted out of these touchy subjects and dove deep into what was wrong with the DCEU and if there is any hope to salvage it. A quick trip into the latest House of Dragon news, and the boys rejoiced with Whiskey Jack finally catching up on all of the She-Hulk episodes. Grab whatever will quench your thirst and enjoy these two talking about nothing for 2+ hours. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/badslant/support

REMINISCENCE OF LAKE SUPERIOR BY THOMAS SEDGWICK STEELE It was with a hearty laugh that Dr. W. bounded into my room one bright morning in the latter part of September, without waiting to knock or in any way announce his arrival. In almost the same breath he called out, “Why! you're a pretty fellow to be housed here all day long, fussing over those feathers and wires ! Why are you not on the river trolling, or in the woods after partridges? Come, put up those tools and lets off for a day's tramp. Peter has put up enough luncheon for two, so pick up your gun and come on.” The fact was, that for the past week I had spent a great portion of my time stuffing birds. I had collected some two dozen, peculiar to the Lake Superior region, and had packed them away preparatory to leaving on “the last boat of the season.” At the present time I had under consideration a Canada jay or “Whiskey Jack,”as they are sometimes called, and was manipulating it in the usual manner. I had just turned the skin of the bird to its natural position and was making a body of hemp as near the size of the original as possible, when the Doctor entered and accosted me with above salutation. Doctor W. was an Englishman, but, instead of possessing the rotund figure which “John Bull” is always supposed to have, he was tall and slim, with that restless activity of manner and overflow of fun and jollity which are the proverbial dignity of an Englishman. He was “a hale fellow, well met” and consequently a favorite with all. His bright face alone brought relief and happiness to a sick room, and as a companion in the woods, he was everything that could be desired. All these attractive qualities were really the secret of his success as a physician—setting aside the fact of there being no other within a radius of thirteen miles. It would indeed have been a brave man who could venture to “hang out his shingle” in competition with Doctor W. Although loath to leave my bird half finished, I knew the Doctor's company would well repay me, so I carefully smoothed down the plumage and depositing the skin in my drawer, looked about for my gun. To most people, my room might not have been attractive, but to me, as a sportsman, it was perfection. The pegs around the room, not covered by wearing apparel, were decorated with fishing rods, creels, nets and all the paraphernalia of an angler, while in one corner, carefully packed in cotton, were skins of birds and jars of agates which I had collected during four month's occupation of the premises. In one corner lay my game bag and a pair of deer's antlers, while last but not least, stood my ever-faithful friend, my gun. To throw on my hunting coat, whose numerous pockets were made to contain everything from game to percussion caps, was the work of an instant, and shouldering my gun, I locked the door and followed the Doctor down stairs and out into the street. It was a lovely morning, bright, clear and frosty, with but little wind to stir the waves of old Superior, in -whose mirror-like surface was reflected the deep blue of the sky. With one long lingering look down the Lake to see that no steamer was in sight, (as their arrival always made a holiday at Ontonagon,) we turned our backs on the scene, and passing through the town, followed the old corduroy road into the woods. Occasionally we stopped to pick a few berries, the last of the season, to snatch a few ferns from the wayside or to cut from some old stump a pretty bit of moss. It would have been better for me if, for once, I had let the “pretty mosses” go, for a favorite hunting knife mounted in ivory and silver, a relic of “our late unpleasantness” may, for aught I know, be still sticking in that old stump or some friendly Indian may have slipped it into his belt ere this. If so, I can safely assure him that he has secured a first-rate piece of cutlery. Mile after mile we plodded up the road, our dogs working in the woods to the right and left, occasionally starting a partridge which fell by the Doctor's unerring aim. Through the stillness of the woods came the sound of the great tree pecker or woodcock of the northern woods, his body of black and white feathers, almost as large as a partridge and a crest of Vermillion that would put a sunset to blush. Soon we came to the thickest part of the woods where the great trees encroached on the road, and tossed their long branches into dangerous proximity to the stages for the mines. Although the morning was calm, not so had been the night previous, and across our path lay numerous mementoes of the gale, around which we had to work our way. While passing through one of these thickets of fallen branches, our dogs came to a point. Cocking our guns, we made ready for whatever should be flushed. The next moment, whir-r r-r, that music so melodious to all sportsmen's ears, and up sprang two partridges, the Doctor covering one and I the other. The smoke had hardly cleared away when up sprang another brace, followed almost immediately by a single bird. Being wholly unprepared for quite so many in one spot, we only knocked two, Dr.W. missing the last one. It was with great difficulty we could restrain the dogs and prevent them from rushing in, as we had not as yet retrieved a bird. But it was well we did, for a few feet further on Spot came to a point, backed by Hero in the most graceful manner possible. The undergrowth was very thick, long vines stretching from tree to tree, and across our path in every direction innumerable slippery branches covered the ground, but as Spot very seldom deceived us we pushed forward to where he stood. The Doctor, who was a little in advance, had hardly reached the dogs when up sprang another brace of partridges which he dropped with his right and left barrel. Re-loading, we “quartered” the ground, but not another bird could be flushed, so, picking up those we had killed, we returned to the road, satisfied in bagging six out of a flock of seven. Where that seventh bird disappeared we never could discover; possibly into a swamp hard by, but we contented our minds with the thought that some other sportsman would retrieve him and that we ought to be generous. On we tramped along that corduroy road, every foot of which is so distinct in my memory, until we arrived at an old log house, a few rods back from the road, at whose door we knocked and were greeted with “come in” from a remarkably healthy pair of lungs. The hut contained but two rooms, the latter of which could hardly be called a room, but rather a shed, and contained wood and various tubs arranged for the week's washing. In the centre of the main room stood an old-fashioned iron box stove, while from the rafters above hung sundry ears of corn, aspargus branches and hams. The female members of the household were grouped around in various corners while the brawny head of the house sat resting one arm on the table and smoking an old clay pipe. To our request for a “glass of water” we received a decided “no,” but the “Lieut. Governor” of the family finally produced a cup of milk, saying that the well had given out and the spring was half a mile distant, but if we would accept of this, (holding forward the cup,) she would be pleased. The cup was of stone china, had evidently seen better days, and been younger and prettier. The handle was gone and the edge looked as if it had withstood a charge of grape and cannister, while numerous dark spots confirmed the fact of there being no water in the house ! But we were wry thirsty and had a walk still of four long miles before we reached another house or the mining town of Rockland, towards which we were bending: our steps; so, shutting our eyes, we each in turn lifted the cup and it-was all over! Thanking them for their kindness, we were soon deep in the woods again, hoping that another bird or two might fall to our bag. We were not disappointed, for we soon flushed three others, all of which fell to our hand. We had now entered the mining town of Rockland, and passing though its muddy streets, wound our way up the hill to the mines on its crest. Here -we rested our weary feet and gazed down on the village below. To the south of us stretched an almost endless forest with hardly an opening, the bright  autumnal foliage in strong contrast with the dark solemn pines. At our feet lay the village with its ever busy inhabitants, its low log houses and its noisy dogs and pigs, a very fair sample of a western mining town. Occasionally a few notes of a flute or violin would be wafted to our ears, for a Cornishman's house is hardly complete without some kind of a musical instrument. To the east and west extended the mountains of the great mineral range, dotted here and there with the “pepper box” shaft houses, while constantly could be heard the cliinck, chinck, cliinck of the skips as they were drawn out of the mine and the roll of the rock as it rattled down the hill. After we had sufficiently recovered from our walk the Doctor suggested that we should vary our tramp by a trip down the mine, provided we could find a “Mining Captain,” (as they are called,) who was “going in” at that time. So we immediately repaired to the “change house,” and depositing our guns, game bags and other equipments, and securing the dogs, we doffed a portion of our clothing and arrayed ourselves in heavy canvass jackets and pants. Our heads were crowned with odd-looking hats, as hard as sole leather, something after the shape of Esquimaux huts. These were to protect our heads from falling rocks while down the mine. Following the directions of the Captain we rolled a tallow candle in soft clay and sticking it on to the front of our hats, picked our way over the rocks to the shaft house, and entered the shaft through a hole only just large enough to admit one's body. As soon as daylight disappeared the Captain ordered a “halt,” to impart a few instructions necessary to our safety. From the top to the bottom of the mine extended ladders which were securely fastened to the sides of the shaft, and the Captain's most important warning was that we must never let go our hold of one round of the ladder until we had firmly secured another, else a remarkably sudden trip of twelve hundred feet would be the consequence. Gradually we began the descent, hand over hand, round by round, until we had reached what is called the “first level.” Taking breath, and pushing the clay from the wicks of our candles, which still adhered to our hats, we slipped a few feet to the right and continued downward on another ladder. On the sides of the rock underneath us ran a rapid stream of water, continually fed by hidden springs, while on all sides the dark damp rocks seemed ready to crush us, so closely did they seem to press, but nothing daunted we continued our downward way. To the left lay another and larger shaft, through which we could see the “skips” filled with copper and rock passing and repassing, to which were fastened copper ropes, running over pulleys and operated by an engine up above at the entrance of the mine. By this time we were decidedly cold, and our hands and wrists all covered with soft sticky clay, which made it extremely difficult to retain our hold on the ladder, but hold we must. Down and farther down, until. the bottom of the mine is reached, 1,200 feet below the surface, while removing our candle from its exalted position on our hats and shading it from the air, we groped our way along in the “level,” expecting every moment to make some unlucky step. The blasts in other parts of the mine sounded like distant thunder as they echoed along the gallery. Away up in one part of the rock men were “stopping” or following a vein of copper, the musical “chinck, chinck” of their hammers and drills falling faintly on our ears, but immediately turning aside we passed through the “level” and entered a large room where, supporting the rocks overhead, were massive timbers some three feet in diameter. Here, we were Informed, a few years ago was taken, out a mass of copper which weighed six hundred tons and which required eighty barrels of powder to blast it and thirty men over a year to cut it up and raise it from the mine. Soon we were obliged to lie flat upon the ground, and by means of our hands and elbows, work ourselves through a small hole in the rock; and in that manner we entered another room or cave where eight miners were engaged at their work. Quitting this noisy place, the Captain taking the lead, we followed him to another gallery, to which we must needs pass over a shaft 500 feet deep, on one of the most slippery logs that ever mortal traveled. We had hardly reached the other side before our ears were nearly deafen'ed by another tremendous blast much nearer than the last, and the room was immediately filled with smoke, so we could hardly see, much less breathe, but feeling our way along, with the help of the Captain's hand, we passed over a great ledge of rocks and up into a better atmosphere. The Captain now took from his pocket a curious looking brown parcel and asked if we would like some “crib,” or what a miner calls dinner. Crib is a composition of meat, potatoes, bread and other compounds mixed, seasoned and baked into a pie—not a very tempting morsel certainly, but our appetites were sharpened by hard exercise, and remembering the proverb, “When you are in Rome do as the Romans do,” we accepted the offered “crib” with thanks. While thus engaged we had time to gaze around us, and what a sight met our eyes. The roof over our heads was one mass of glittering ore and rock. Great veins of bright copper seamed the grey rock, while here and there were traces of silver and masses of snow-white quartz, which, sparkling in the light of our candles, suggested to our minds a fairy grotto. We sat some time enjoying this picture and absorbed in wonder, until the cold damp atmosphere of the place warned us of the danger of delay, so crawling along over still larger holders until this means of progression became exceedingly painful, we entered another rock bound chamber. Here we found the greatest number of miners we had yet seen, men down on their knees holding long drills, while above them others swinging the huge hammers. On the sides of the rock they had fastened their candles, whose fitful glare, lighting up the huge cave, combined with the tremendous noise of the hammers, made the place seem like a perfect Pandemonium. Leaving the men at their work we passed along a dark gallery and by a deal of climbing reached a ledge of rocks, where, through a small opening, we obtained our first ray of sunlight, and by means of a rope drew ourselves hand over hand out of the mine. Oh! how delightful seemed the “blessed sunlight,” and although the day was cool, how hot the air seemed in comparison with the dampness of the mine. We drew in long draughts of the fresh pure air and sat for a long time enjoying the bright sunlight, while we congratulated one another upon the success of our novel expedition. Then a “happy thought” suggested itself and we at once repaired to a neighboring “photograph cart,” where, with pick in hand, candles on our hats and mining clothes covered with clay, we made a picture which we have carefully preserved as a souvenir and which has proved to our friends a great source of amusement ever since.

Allison Mistakidis is a creative and passionate entrepreneur dedicated to building a community of like-minded changemakers. As co-owner of Whiskeyjack Boutique, she has taken an empty storefront in downtown Windsor and turned it into a Canadian-made gift and souvenir shop that has become a destination for tourists and locals alike. Since 2010, Allison has been creating and selling Aloraflora Jewelry at local shows and boutiques as well as online, while building a recognizable and sought after brand for Windsorites. A tropical ecology field course in University piqued an interest in birds and research, she completed a Masters degree which focused on why birds are so colourful, and this appreciation for birds led to the meaningful name behind Whiskeyjack Boutique. Allison has held a number of roles, including University instructor, fitness instructor, group fitness manager, and most recently as a merchant success representative at Shopify. In every position, she soaked up everything she could to guide her own ventures to success. When she's not managing Whiskeyjack Boutique or making jewelry, she's working on publishing her novel and cheering on fellow bosses in the small business community.We talk about how Whiskeyjack Boutique got started, where the name of the store came from, what made them decide to build their business in Windsor, how she and her co-founder decided to go into business together, what people should keep in mind when looking for a business partner, how COVID-19 has affected their business, how they market Whiskeyjack Boutique, some of the challenges they've overcome with their business, publishing her own novel, advice for someone thinking of starting a business and more!

We’ve talked about representation and the changing landscape of the whisky community several times over the last few years on Hear in Spirit, but today we dive just a little bit deeper.  Though, to say that’s what this episode is about, or that that’s all my guest on this episode is about would be a gross misrepresentation. Tracie Franklin has been an invaluable and well-recognized member of the whisky community for years, but more than that, she’s been a pioneer and a voice for change and diversity.  It’s hard for someone who like me, someone who looks like me, who grew up with the privileges I did, to really speak about Tracie with nuanced intelligence or sensitivity because I haven’t experienced the world as she has.  But I’m doing the best I can.  And one thing I will say without hesitation, Tracie Franklin, my guest on Hear in Spirit today is a remarkable human being, possessing not only an savant like appreciation of the spirit and industry, but to reuse the word in another context, possessing a spirit infectious in not only the way it challenges you to think, but in the way it challenges you to smile.  Closing music provided by iRa evRyWhr.  This is her new single "Go Slower" featuring Kyle Bent.  Download on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your music.

We're at the half-way point of our story and today we're diving into a conversation about pride, trust and belief in ourselves and in the communities we call home. Our two guests are former CBC journalist Hance Colburne and Cheryl Whiskeyjack, the executive director of the Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society in Edmonton. Together we explore the integral role pride and trust play in the world of deep change, why it's essential if we are to build back better, how it gets lost and what we have to do to get it back.Our website is live!

Are you bald? Do you know any bald men? Of course, there is usually a perfectly rational, medical reason for the loss of hair in the male of the species - male pattern baldness, alopecia, or too much testosterone, among others. Before we discovered the scientific reasons for hair loss, we used stories to help us understand it and this tale from the logging camps of northern New England and the Maritimes is one of the most famous. Remember, be kind to our fine feathered friends - any bird could be somebody's mother... Many of the animals of New England have their own story, with each one reflecting either the animal's personality or their place in history. Both prehistoric and historic New Englanders have always seen a part of their own personality when they watched animals in their natural environment and it is that perceived relationship that brings us a very strange tale from the northern woods from the time of the big logging camps. One specific species of bird, common to the deep woods of Maine and Canada, has become a more obscure story as the logging camps in New Brunswick and Maine were closed. Back when logging was a larger industry in the north, however, the stories associated with the Canada Jay or "Gorbey" were commonplace among the men who worked their trade in the deep forests. Because the Gorbey is a deep woods bird that doesn't venture into urban settings, it's stories became obscured as the lumberjacks moved out from the logging camps and into alternative jobs. It was the work of folklorist Sandy D. Ives, founder of the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History,  that helped record the stories of the Gorbey and save them from being forever lost. Through the audio and text recordings that Dr. Ives made, information about this bird's behavior and it's impression on New Englanders can be seen through the tall tales it inspired. The first aspect of the legends are the folk names the Gorbey has been given: Gray Jay, Camp Robber, Venison Hawk, Hudson Bay, Caribou Bird, Moose Bird, Meat Bird, Grease Bird, Woodsman's Friend, Whiskey Jack or Whiskey John. The original Native American name for this bird is the 'wisk-i-djak', which is similar to 'whiskey jack'. Both names are derived from the bird's call. Other unusual traits that the Gorbey possesses are further implied by their names. The name may come from either Scotland or France. It might be either from the French-Canadian pronunciation of the French word "Corveaux", for a bird who is related to ravens and crows. The Scottish origin might come from the word "Gorb", which has a double meaning: 'glutton' and 'unfledged bird'. According to some sources, this bird helped hunters to find moose or caribou. This bird would signal to a hunter where they could be found and in exchange, the hunter would give meat to this bird to eat. Those who tell this story suggest that this is because the Gorbey is not satisfied with eating ticks and fleas off moose and caribou and wants a more substantial meal. The Native Americans believed this animal had a powerful spirit living inside of it and would listen for its call while hunting, as well as give the bird meat after the kill was made. Another Native American legend associated with the Gorbey states that cold weather comes when someone pulls a few feathers off of the bird's chest. Whether this was a magical spell or a warning against harming the birds is not made clear. In later years, when logging camps were more commonplace in rivers across Maine and New Brunswick, the Gorbey did not have to get hunters to give them filling meals anymore. It was said that whole flocks of them would fly out of the trees and steal food straight from the lumberjack's hands and lunch pails. While only one or two would show up on the first day, more and more would appear to make off with the lunches of the lumberjacks as time wore on. They would also hide in the clothes of the lumberjacks, not caring if they were worn or not. The origin of the names "Woodsman's friend' and "camp robber" is probably inspired by these antics. For lumberjacks, these birds were a great source of amusement. Most were happy to see these birds despite losing their food to them and were entertained by their tricks in the air and on the ground. In remote and quiet forests, such entertainment was certainly a welcome sight. Others were not happy to feed such a feathered thief. Whatever a lumberjack's feelings were about the gorbey, there was a strict taboo against harming these birds. The work of the lumberjack was fraught with danger and as a result, superstition ran rife. The bird was regarded as a lucky animal like the albatross from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Sometimes, it was because the bird was a lumberjack who came back from the dead to rejoin his companions. Others believed that if they hurt a gorbey, the injury would be returned on them. This retelling of "The Man who Plucked The Gorbey" has elements drawn from the book Will O' The Wisp: Folk Tales and Legends of New Brunswick by Carole Spray" and the records left by Dr. Sandy D. Ives. There was once a gorbey who frequented a logging camp named Old Ferguson. He was named after a lumberjack who had died at work. The lumberjacks believed this bird was a reincarnation of their dead comrade because he had a big appetite and because he wore a grey coat and black hat that reminded them of the bird's feathers. They enjoyed Old Ferguson's antics as a part of their midday meal and welcomed him and the flocks of gorbeys as if they were equals.But a new lumberjack came to work at the camp who was not pleased with entertaining this bird. He is given many names, but let us call the man Archie Stackhouse. He grew angry with this bird's habit of snatching biscuits from his hand as he was about to eat them. Archie swore he would kill Old Ferguson once he got his hands on him. When his comrades warned him not to harm the bird for fear of bad luck, he scorned this as a foolish belief. It is also relevant to mention that Archie Stackhouse had handsome black hair he was particularly proud of. According to Carole Spray's version, Old Ferguson's favorite snack was biscuits soaked in whiskey. One cold winter day, the bird was fed this treat and soon grew so drunk, he could not fly straight. One kindly lumberjack took this bird into a mitten and let him sleep off his binge. But Archie took his chance to make good on his threats. He seized the small, drunk bird and ripped off the feathers from his back and belly, leaving him very naked with only wing feathers spared. The bird tried to fly up with the feathers he had left but fell down and died instantly. (Dr. Ives' records states that the poor plucked bird merely died of exposure overnight in February.) The lumberjacks were appalled at this turn of events, but Archie went to bed satisfied with himself. In the morning, there was a surprise waiting for Archie. He saw in the mirror next to the washbasin that all of his coveted black hair had fallen off of his head, leaving his chin and head bare. He never grew this head of hair back again. According to Carole Spray's telling, if there was a lumberjack who was bald or lacked hair, he would usually be asked "Are you the man who plucked the gorbey?" as a joke. An alternative version from an article written by Dr. Ives'  included another character: a bad tempered  Frenchman who gave Archie a sound thrashing after he awoke to find his head bare. In the audio retelling recorded by Dr. Ives, Archie is given a specific job at the logging camp. He is described as a 'wangan man', who was the manager of the outpost store. He was responsible for minding and managing supplies for the whole camp as well as selling goods to the lumberjacks. Even in those camps, the exchange of money was still a necessity. Dr. Edward Ives Interview with Charles Sibley - 11-30-58 "The Man Who Plucked the Gorbey" The stories of the gorbey do not end there. According to an informant whose account is on record at The University of Maine, there is an old and simple yarn about a logging camp cook who one day found a gorbey carrying off three stale doughnuts that had been thrown away. Considering that the gorbey is the size of a robin, this is an impressive feat for a bird of that size. Another story is a folk song called "Tom Cray", from Northern Maine. The song warns unwary lumberjacks of gorbeys and blue jays big enough to carry off men to eat. Another version, written on the blog New England Folklore names the bird 'Esau' after a foreman who died. For those who know Hebrew, a hint of what's to come is already given. "Esau" means 'hairy' in Hebrew. Whether this was an intentional hint or not is not mentioned. There are even variations that involve lumberjacks who suffer broken bones after they broke bones on gorbies. In these versions, lumberjacks break either a leg or a wing on this bird and as a result, suffer a broken leg or arm. All of these stories say a lot about the attitudes of those who told them. It reveals a continued respect of nature that may have it's origin with the Wabanaki tribes, but continued on through to the lumberjacks whose respect to the bird was born out of a continued necessity to respect nature and the unexplained. Both the Wabanaki and the lumberjacks understood the perils nature presented and knew that humility and kindness was important to warding off danger and death. It is also possible that Native American and European New Englanders have always found entertainment from these intelligent and bold birds and a unique bond between animal and man has been formed that, to this day, continues in the deep woods. Even today, campers in the Northern woods are greeted by gorbies, who follow humans for their food not because any human encouraged it, but because their instinct to find food draw them to us naturally.
