Have you ever been in a cave? If you have, perhaps someone has told you that the rock formations hanging from the ceiling—called stalactites—are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. Scientists tell us that stalactites take 100 years, on average, to grow one inch. But just how accurate is this figure?Stalactites grow where water seeps through limestone rock, dissolving limestone in the process. When this water containing dissolved limestone emerges from the roof of a cave, it hangs for a moment. In a current of air, some of it evaporates, causing the limestone to deposit. Finally, the remaining water drops to the floor of the cave and continues to evaporate and deposit. The deposit on the floor is called a stalagmite.A concrete railroad bridge in Wooster, Ohio had a stalactite growing under it that was over 12 inches long! Had the railroad bridge been standing for more than 1,200 years? Obviously not—in fact, the bridge had been cleaned of stalactites only 12 years before! Nor is this situation unusual. More than 300 stalactites were counted growing under bridges in just this one city, and stalactites are not hard to find under concrete bridges in most cities.We take so many things at face value that evolutionists tell us about the world, even if they contradict the Bible. Before we start taking human words on faith, we should take at face value what the Creator says in the Bible. He knows more than all scientists put together and is to be trusted above any human teacher!2 Samuel 22:31"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him."Prayer: Lord, men find so much to be afraid of, and I confess that I, too, fear too much. Yet mankind runs away from You, the One Who could calm all their fears. Help me to see that when I am afraid, I am running too. Forgive me, and let my trust in You for all things become stronger.

The state is clawing back more than $3-million dollars from a nearly $5 million grant it awarded Cleveland for a program that would help rid old houses of lead. The Ohio Department of Development administered the grant as part of the Lead Safe Ohio Program. It would pay up to $15,000 to remove old windows and doors, a major source of lead paint that chips and flakes and exposes occupants to lead poisoning. Lead can cause permanent neurological damage in children, and Cleveland has been working for years to remove lead from its older housing stock and the city's health director says there is actually promising news: Testing has shown for the second straight year a reduction in lead levels for kids. The story begins our discussion of the week's top news on the Friday “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.” Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne wants to take control of finances for the county sheriff's department as overtime costs there soar. The sheriff has said he'll sue if that happens. Cuyahoga County prosecutors argued before the Ohio Supreme Court on Feb.11 that a murder conviction is appropriate for the man who struck and killed Cleveland Johnny Tetrick as the firefighter was responding to an accident on I-90. Leander Bissell was convicted of murder, but an appeals court reduced it to involuntary manslaughter. Bissell struck Tetrick as he drove around stopped traffic at an accident scene. A federal judge yesterday denied the Trump administration's request to pause a ruling that allows Haitians in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status to maintain that status. Thousands of Haitians with such protection live in Springfield. The administration's appeal continues. The Trump administration announced yesterday it was ending its immigration surge in Minneapolis. Border czar Tom Homan called Operation Metro Surge a success. Two U.S. citizens were killed, and widespread protests gripped the city. Homan credited coordination with local law enforcement as a factor in the operation's success. Protests continue across the country, including locally, where Thursday students at Cleveland Heights High School staged a long-planned walk out to show solidarity with immigrant families impacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Many of those participating have direct ties to immigrant communities and want schools to be safe spaces. This week, Akron became the latest city to oppose proposed bills in the Ohio legislature that would require local police to help with federal immigration enforcement. The College of Wooster is cutting staff in response to shrinking enrollment. President Anne McCall announced that the school is laying off 22 non-faculty staff. It's almost time for public schools to submit their budget forecasts to the state for approval and the districts in Cleveland and Akron say they'll need to make significant cuts over the next several years, despite already going through consolidation and collecting more money from taxpayers with levies. More than half of the public school districts in Ohio, part of a coalition called Vouchers Hurt Ohio, are suing the state over how it funds schools, diverting money to vouchers for private schools. Lawmakers who approve of the vouchers say they allow families to have education choice. A new bill introduced in Columbus would allow the state to yank funding from districts that sue.

He explains how to carry a plate, when to say ‘yes' and when to simply say ‘it can be done', and how to prepare *just chilled* mineral water to the taste of a Saudi trillionaire...

Mansfield Senior looks for a big conference road win at Wooster

American conservatism as we know it today is a West Texas export, argues College of Wooster professor Jeff Roche in The Conservative Frontier: Texas and the Origins of the New Right (U Texas Press, 2025). Tracing the roots of the state's conservative movement back to the giant cattle ranches and tycoons of the nineteenth century, Roche argues that you cannot separate the local and historical conditions in the West (and in West Texas specifically) from the "cowboy conservatism" of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Full of fascinating characters and the kind of tall tales you only find in the Lone Star State, The Conservative Frontier makes a compelling case for Texas politics eventually becoming national politics by the mid to late 20th century. No matter where you are in the United States today, the political weight of Texas creates a gravity that has proven impossible for American politics to emerge from. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lexington goes on the road for it's first conference win of the season

Mansfield Senior travels to Triway for a non-conference road trip

Our recent interview was all about measurements. The Wooster Community Hospital Health System in Wayne County, Ohio achieved a 20% improvement in their nurses' satisfaction with their MEDITECH EHR after a six-month effort. This video, interviewing Eric Gasser, Vice President of Information Systems and CIO, shows how statistics and survey data made that achievement possible.Gasser says that Wooster offers high quality care and has won awards. Yet, always interested in doing better, they took up a suggestion by MEDITECH to join the KLAS Arch Collaborative. As part of that collaborative, they surveyed their clinicians. Although they were mostly happy with their jobs, nurses found documentation to be a burden.Learn more about Wooster: https://www.woosterhospital.org/Learn more about MEDITECH: https://ehr.meditech.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Let's be real—life is way too short and too heavy to be serious all the time! We're talking about embracing whimsy: that perfect mix of taking your job and life seriously, but definitely not taking yourself seriously. We'll chat about simple ways to lighten up, like genuinely playing with your family or finally making time for that weird little hobby you love. Whimsy isn't just a mood; it's a hack! It keeps your brain sharp, puts some distance between you and your problems, and helps you connect with people on a deeper, better level. Time to chill out, laugh more, and remember that being a little silly is a sign of a life well-lived.The Show Notes!Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

The "Democracy and Academic Freedom: A Forum" series kicks off on the College of Wooster's campus on Sept 3.

This week, we're diving into Carry On, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse, a collection of short stories that perfectly captures the hilariously lopsided dynamic between the clueless Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves. If you've never read Wodehouse before, this is the perfect entry point-sharp, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny.In this episode, we talk about what makes the Jeeves and Wooster stories so enduring, from Wodehouse's pitch-perfect dialogue to the delightful absurdity of upper-crust London life. We'll share our favorite stories from the collection, highlight some of the best one-liners, and celebrate Jeeves as the quiet mastermind behind every narrowly-avoided disaster.Whether you're revisiting these stories or meeting Bertie and Jeeves for the first time, join us for a joyful, breezy conversation about one of comedy literature's most iconic duos.Support the showRecommend us a Book!If there's a book you want to recommend to us to read, just send us a message/email and we'll pop it on our long list (but please read our review policy on our website first for the books we accept).Social MediaWebsite: https://teachingmycattoread.wordpress.com/Email: teachingmycattoread@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachmycat2read/Tumblr: https://teachingmycattoread.tumblr.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFXi9LNQv8SBQt8ilgTZXtQListener Surveyhttps://forms.gle/TBZUBH4SK8dez8RP9

What does it mean to live wide open; curious, bold, and always learning? In this episode of Grow Yourself, I sit down with best-selling author and educator C.V. Wooster to explore the art of living as a modern Renaissance thinker. We talk about curiosity as a life skill, the courage to reinvent yourself, and the overlooked stories that shape our history. From the classroom to the desert, from literature to politics, C.V.'s journey shows how every question and every experience can grow us into who we're meant to be. If you've ever wondered how to live fully engaged in the world around you, this conversation is for you.
