  • Quick History of the First Thanksgiving in Canada
    Thanksgiving Quick history of the first Thanksgiving in Canada THANKSGIVING DINNER Spectator file photo The first European Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Newfoundland when English explorer Martin Frobisher landed there in 1578 Hamilton Spectator The first European Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Newfoundland when English explorer Martin Frobisher landed there in 1578 in his quest for the Northwest Passage. He wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival in the New World. This was 42 years before the Pilgrims landed in what is now Plymouth, Mass. Although many Thanksgiving holidays were subsequently celebrated, it was not declared a national holiday until 1879. From 1921 to 1931, Armistice Day (later renamed Remembrance Day) and Thanksgiving were marked on the same date. The two events were then separated, but the timing of Thanksgiving varied. In 1957, the second Monday of October was set as the consistent date for Thanksgiving Day in Canada. In 2012, Canadians consumed 142 million kilograms (312.4 million pounds) of turkey or 4.1 kilograms (nine pounds) per capita. About 35 per cent of all whole turkeys purchased in Canada in 2012 were for Thanksgiving, but 44 per cent were bought at Christmas. So What? Christian Applications The Old Testament Lev 7:12 „If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil. Lev 7:13 „Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering.

Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANK~GIVING MYTH - a study guide ­ Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANKSGIVING MYTH Summary: Native American people who first encountered the “pilgrims” at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts play a major role in the imagination of American people today. Contemporary celebrations of the Thanksgiving holiday focus on the idea that the “first Thanksgiving” was a friendly gathering of two disparate groups—or even neighbors—who shared a meal and lived harmoniously. In actuality, the assembly of these people had much more to do with political alliances, diplomacy, and an effort at rarely achieved, temporary peaceful coexistence. Although Native American people have always given thanks for the world around them, the Thanksgiving celebrated today is more a combination of Puritan religious practices and the European festival called Harvest Home, which then grew to encompass Native foods. The First People families, but a woman could inherit the position if there was no male heir. A sachem could be usurped by In 1620, the area from Narragansett Bay someone belonging to a sachem family who was able in eastern Rhode Island to the Atlantic Ocean in to garner the allegiance of enough people.

  • Cokie Roberts Passed Away. It's a Simple News Fact, Anticipated By
    Cokie Roberts passed away. It’s a simple news fact, anticipated by those near her and in the industry, but deeply saddening nonetheless. Cokie was one of the three NPR “founding mothers,” along with Linda Wertheimer and Susan Stamberg. Their courage, spunk, and insistence were legendary. Cokie was a giant among public radio reporters and commercial television announcers, and an inspiration to many women in public radio today. Her voice will continue to be heard in the work of generations of journalists who learned their craft from listening to her on their public radio stations. Here’s an excerpt from NPR’s official statement, written by departing CEO Jarl Mohn: “The public radio family has lost a founding mother, a journalist whose vigorous mind, boundless curiosity, and commitment to NPR have helped make us what we are today. Cokie’s contributions to public radio – and all of journalism – are many. At NPR she was part of the team that built the foundation for our newsroom and led the way for women in journalism at NPR and across the industry. A student of American politics throughout her decades-long career, she brought insight and perspective to countless elections, debates, and policy decisions great and small for NPR audiences. Through Cokie’s voice, the twists and turns in American democracy came to life. A natural storyteller, she could vividly connect the events of today with the people and policies of the past, helping all of us better understand their significance and who we are as Americans.” In closing, I’ll follow Cokie’s advice to listeners and encourage you to support your public radio station.

  • Telling Public Radio's Story
    Cincinnati Public Radio Local Services Report- FY 2018 1. Describe your overall goals and approach to address identified community issues, needs, and interests through your station’s vital local services, such as multiplatform long and short- form content, digital and in-person engagement, education services, community information, partnership support, and other activities, and audiences you reached or new audiences you engaged. Cincinnati Public Radio believes that to stay relevant and vital to listeners’ lives, as well as to grow audience, WGUC and WVXU must move from a mass media broadcast mentality to a pro-active engagement model that sets it apart and focuses on building community and providing meaningful content, especially local content, whenever and wherever listeners are seeking it. As such, local programming includes the programs Cincinnati Edition, Around Cincinnati, and Cincinnati Spotlight, as well as local podcasts Start Hear and Looking Up. Content from these programs addressed issues of importance to the community - such as the 2017 local, state and national elections, racial disparities in health care, Aging issues and living solutions, children and gun violence, sexual assault, immigration policy and refugee placement, organ donation, Ohio’s In-Demand Jobs Week, neighborhood activities and arts performances – and was available via on-air broadcasts, as well as online and mobile platforms. The station apps and website made the live broadcast streams easily accessible and offered links to individual content segments. Educational programs introducing children to classical music (Classics for Kids®) and voting and the political process (Democracy and Me) provided expanded outreach to students and teachers. Station personnel are active and visible in the community, interacting with listeners and community leaders to learn their needs and concerns - and representing the station across the region.

  • The Voices of NPR
    Episode 11 – Michael Goldfarb – All Along the Watchtower The Voices of NPR And now a personal word, Michael Goldfarb has the voice of a journalist who has witnessed important events. He speaks with weariness and authority. His voice evokes a chorus of NPR announcers who report from near and distant places. Writer Dierdre Mask noted in an article in the Atlantic magazine, “We can’t see NPR reporters, so we have to picture them. And because they are with us in our most private moments—alone in the car, half-asleep in bed—we start to think we know them.” And we do think we know them. Their voices are iconic: distinct, informative, comforting, familiar. Their voices are the sounds of our better selves when we are bright and learned and engaged in the affairs of the world. No matter the day’s events, they give us hope that in a crazy world, sense and sensibility will prevail. Here are a few names I grew up with: Susan Stamberg, Bob Edwards, Carl Kasell, Noah Adams, Linda Wertheimer, Robert Siegel, Scott Simon, Cokie Roberts, and Bob Mondello. Each name evokes a voice, a style, a beat, that is the news soundtrack of our lives and shared imagination. We hear their stories as they report from bureaus from foreign capitals: Eleanor Beardsley, Paris; Rob Gifford, London; Ofiebea Quist-Arcton, Dakar; and, of course, Sylvia Poggioli, Rome. We hear war correspondents in the thick of battle: Michael Golfarb in Northern Ireland and Bosnia; Kelly McEvers in the midst of death and kidnapping in the Arab Spring, Tom Bowman among the fire and mortars of Helmand Province, and David Gilkey ambushed and killed by the Taliban.

  • Myths of Thanksgiving Debunked
    Myths of Thanksgiving Debunked Myth #1: "The First Thanksgiving" occurred in 1621. Fact: No one knows when the "first" thanksgiving occurred. People have been giving thanks for as long as people have existed. Indigenous nations all over the world have celebrations of the harvest that come from very old traditions; for Native peoples, thanksgiving comes not once a year, but every day, for all the gifts of life. To refer to the harvest feast of 1621 as "The First Thanksgiving" disappears Indian peoples in the eyes of non-Native children. Myth #2: The people who came across the ocean on the Mayflower were called Pilgrims. Fact: The Plymouth settlers did not refer to themselves as "Pilgrims." Pilgrims are people who travel for religious reasons, such as Muslims who make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Most of those who arrived here from England were religious dissidents who had broken away from the Church of England. They called themselves "Saints"; others called them "Separatists." Some of the settlers were "Puritans," dissidents but not separatists who wanted to "purify" the Church. It wasn't until around the time of the American Revolution that the name "Pilgrims" came to be associated with the Plymouth settlers, and the "Pilgrims" became the symbol of American morality and Christian faith, fortitude, and family. (1) Myth #3: The colonists came seeking freedom of religion in a new land. Fact: The colonists were not just innocent refugees from religious persecution. By 1620, hundreds of Native people had already been to England and back, most as captives; so the Plymouth colonists knew full well that the land they were settling on was inhabited.
