This will be a fun and informative show! Up first is Joe Stumpe, former Wichita Eagle food writer, musician extraordinaire and now the editor/publisher of Active Aging. Active Aging is a free publication for readers in Sedgwick, Butler and Harvey counties live healthy, fulfilling and active lives. The publication and Joe are doing a holiday recipe contest and you should submit your best recipes!
Active Aging was first published at WSU in 1979. Its mission was to explore the issues and information needs of seniors. There were few resources then to connect them to programs and agencies that could help meet those needs. www.theactiveage.com
Several years later the newspaper moved to Friends University. In 2000 its connection with Friends was dissolved. We became an independent entity and moved to our current location at 125 S. West St. That informational vision in 1978 has evolved to today’s 501(c)(3) not-for-profit newspaper. Back then, we mailed free to some 30,000 50+ readers in Sedgwick, Harvey and Butler counties. Now, we print more than 60,000 papers a month. To Get the Paper Call 316-942-5385 Or Email joe@theactiveage.com
Then it’s all about WINE, and one of my favorite Sonoma producers Rodney Strong.
I’ll be talking to some friends from the winery about the history, vineyards and products produced.
The story began over 55 years ago, when a celebrated American dancer named Rod Strong settled in Sonoma County to pursue a second lifelong creative passion: winemaking. Rodney Strong Vineyards was the 13th winery bonded in the newly discovered Sonoma County wine industry. A trio of winemaking paths crossed when Rick Sayre joined the team as Winemaker in 1979, and again when the Klein Family, 4th generation California farmers, purchased the winery in 1989 and initiated a renewed commitment of modern artisan winemaking. Through the years, Rodney Strong Vineyards has earned the reputation for critically acclaimed Single Vineyard and Reserve wines, stand out Estate releases and best-in-class Sonoma County varietal wines.
