In this episode of Curry Café, host Ray Garry and guest Robert O’Sullivan discuss the life, presidency, and legacy of Jimmy Carter. Starting with Carter’s unique upbringing in racially segregated Plains, Georgia, they explore his rise from a political outsider to the 39th U.S. president. The discussion highlights Carter’s integrity, his focus on human rights, environmentalism, and Native American rights, as well as his post-presidency achievements, like his work with the Carter Center and Habitat for Humanity. O’Sullivan and Garry reflect on Carter’s challenges, including his struggles with Washington insiders, his lack of national political experience, and his often underrated presidency. Personal anecdotes, like Garry’s experience creating a handcrafted gift for Carter, add a personal touch to the conversation. The episode portrays Carter as a humble, principled leader whose forward-thinking policies were often ahead of their time.

In this episode of Quality Living With Peaceful Support, host Amanda Whittemore talks with author Georgia Cockerham about critical issues in Curry County government, focusing on public safety and budget management. Issues discussed include the misuse of terminology by commissioners, improper budget cuts to the Sheriff’s Department, and the misrepresentation of a failed property tax levy, all of which have contributed to public distrust in county government. Citizens are working on a proposed law enforcement property tax levy to address funding shortages, but disagreements persist over its necessity and impact on property values. The discussion underscores the inexperience of the commissioners in handling the budget crisis, the importance of public engagement in governance, and the need for voters to stay informed about the decisions shaping their community.

This episode of Our Community features Dr. Bethany Michel, a psychologist specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for children and adolescents, discussing strategies for parenting emotionally sensitive children. Dr. Michel highlights the importance of understanding emotional dysregulation, seeking professional support, and avoiding self-blame, as many parents feel isolated or judged. She emphasizes that punishment often exacerbates negative behaviors, advocating instead for calm, empathetic parenting that fosters emotional regulation and open communication. DBT, which combines acceptance with change, is presented as an effective tool for helping children as young as five manage intense emotions. Dr. Michel also stresses the need for early intervention, building strong parent-child relationships, and addressing the root causes of risky behaviors. Ultimately, she underscores the value of connection, both within families and in broader communities, for mental health and well-being.
