"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

WICHITA, Kan. – Welcome to the Thunder Audio Vault! Over the next few weeks, we will take a look back at some of the best moments from the last three years of Wichita Thunder hockey. The Wichita Thunder were off to a great start during the 2017-18 season but were missing one key piece to a possible championship puzzle…an elite goal scorer. That all changed on November 12, 2017, when head coach Malcolm Cameron traded forward Louick Marcotte to the Fort Wayne Komets in exchange for Ralph Cuddemi . The trade would go down as one of the most lopsided transactions in the league that year. Marcotte played in 37 games, scoring just 26 points, while Cuddemi finished 13th in league scoring with 64 points, 58 of those coming in a Thunder uniform. It would take Cuddemi some time to get acquainted with his teammates and the systems Cameron employed, but on December 2nd, he busted out of that shell, uncorking teddy bears onto the ice of INTRUST Bank Arena, in one of the greatest individual performances that season. Cuddemi’s hat trick on teddy bear toss night would go down as the only hat trick recorded by a Thunder player during the 2017-18 season.…

Thunder Audio Vault Episode #1: First Kelly Cup Playoff Game 1:56:04

1:56:04

WICHITA, Kan. – Welcome to the Thunder Audio Vault! Over the next five weeks, we will take a look back at some of the best moments from the last three years of Wichita Thunder hockey. Our first game is also a first for the Wichita Thunder. On April 18, 2018, the Thunder ended a 1,798-day streak between playoff games, by hosting the Colorado Eagles in game one of the ECHL’s Mountain Division Semifinal series at INTRUST Bank Arena. The 2017-18 season started off very well for the Thunder, winning 16 of their first 22 games, but scuffled in their final 10 games, posting a 2-6-2 mark and earning a playoff berth thanks to a Tulsa loss on the final Friday night of the regular season. The Colorado Eagles were in their final ECHL season and looking for their second straight Kelly Cup title. Led by Aaron Schneekloth and Ryan Tobler, the Eagles finished 8-2 in their final 10 regular season games, with 102 points, and another Mountain Division title. As Colorado would find out, the Thunder would give them everything they could handle from the first whistle to the final handshake. ================= Here is The Sin Bin’s game story from that game: WICHITA, Kan. – Playoff hockey finally returned to Wichita on Sunday afternoon. The Wichita Thunder played their first home playoff game since Friday, May 10, 2013, a span of 1,800 days between home playoff games. Everything has changed with the organization since then, but one thing hasn’t: You need the combination of great defense, solid goaltending, and timely scoring to win games in the playoffs. After a feeling-out process that didn’t last very long, with Wichita getting on the board 7:12 into the contest. Lane Bauer potted his first career playoff goal after some nice pressure by the forward unit of Bauer- Steven Iacobellis – Brayden Low . The forward unit forced a turnover, and Iacobellis fired a shot onto Cannata, and the rebound popped out to Bauer who put it into the cage. From there, Colorado began forcing much of the action in Wichita’s end. From the 12:48 mark through the first half of the third period (a span of 42:48,) the Eagles outshot Wichita 23-8. In that span, Shane Starrett , whom the Eagles’ lit up for eight goals the weekend before, was spot on, making save after save and keeping the Thunder in the game. In the dying stages of a Marc-Olivier Crevier-Morin minor for interference, Drayson Bowman scored during a net-mouth scramble in front of Starrett to tie the game at one. The marker, on the power-play, came on the Eagles’ fourth chance of the evening. Through regulation, Colorado dominated Wichita on the shot chart, 34-12. For the rest of regulation, Wichita and Colorado traded chances but neither side could solve the other goaltender. During the overtime, Wichita again couldn’t get much offense generated and were hemmed in their end several times thanks to icing calls. After Colorado created several chances in the first few minutes of overtime, Eagles forward Ryan Olsen would be sent to the box for slashing 4:26 into sudden-death. Colorado would flip the script, as defenseman Matt Register would collect the puck in his own zone and snap it onto the tape of J.C. Beaudin who would streak down the ice for the shorthanded, game-winner at the 5:23 mark of OT. Starrett takes the loss despite saving 37 of 39 shots on net. Cannata picks up the win, saving 12 of 13 Wichita Thunder chances.…
