Jack from Uni Students for Climate Justice joins us to discuss the bushfires in Australia, some of the resulting political and economic fallout and ways to respond. Then, with fire and ashes on our mind, we turn our attention to the unfolding catastrophes catalyzed by COVID-19, how we are each respo...
White ash is an important source of browse and cover for deer. Its seeds are consumed by wood ducks, northern bobwhites, purple finches, pine grosbeaks, fox squirrels, mice, and many other birds and small mammals. The bark of young trees is occasionally eaten by beavers, porcupines, and rabbits. Because of its tendency to form trunk cavities if its top is broken, mature white ashes are highly valued as nesting sites by cavity nesters such as red-headed and pileated woodpeckers, and then secondary nesters such as wood ducks, owls, nuthatches, and gray squirrels.
The same species also utilize green ashes, and game birds such as wood ducks, grouse, northern bobwhites, and wild turkeys use green ash habitats heavily. Green ash woodlands often shelter the highest numbers of bark-foraging and ground-nesting bird species.
Back at the mortuary, Prince disposes of what he hopes will be the final evidence relating to the Verity Chandler case. He lobs the remains of Messrs Lerby and Houston into a single cardboard coffin and sends them up in smoke. The ashes of the two men are placed into an urn for Mrs Lerby to collect at her leisure.
Watched Ashes to Ashes last night on Great American Family and seeing Sally Kellerman trying to get rid of ashes from a helicopter was beyond funny as she inhaled more of the human dust than she scattered on the ground. Happy trails!

Forensics can also determine that the weight of the ashes in the evidence urn is too great for the weight of the man supposedly cremated. How to explain that? Somebody must have done an especially bad job of sweeping to account for that extra weight!
Today you hear your dark story of death. Unexpectedly, your ears may understand the severity of your choices. Sadly, your eyes may see the consequences of a creation rotting with decay. Receive the dusty symbol of judgment ashes both upon your forehead and upon your heart. You are dust; you are dead.
And just like our simple game of Ring around the Rosie, on account of Christ, we are raised back up. Laughing and giggling, alive and free, we can spin around again. The ashes that once infected our hearts have been washed clean. There is no more dark story of death for us.
But we know how this story goes. Round and round, spinning and pulling, stumbling and falling, we will find ourselves laid out on the cold dusty ground, again and again. What shall we say, then? Are we just trapped, continuing in this sick game of sin, so that we can recognize the gracious hand of God raises us? Do we just spin through another Lent season, Ash Wednesday, saying sorry, and feebly grasping the need for a Savior? Ashes, ashes. We keep falling down.
But St. Paul tells us another story. Our childhood game is over. Do we just spin around, and go through the motions, dead and alive, yesterday and today and tomorrow? By no means! Christ Jesus has ended this song. His resurrection has dissolved the ashes. We are buried deep under the dust that annoy us, deep below the shame that smudges our foreheads, deep beyond the groaning creation that traps our attention. Just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are, right now, raised up from the ashes, never to fall again.
In the Jewish tradition, ashes were a signs of repentance, of humility, of grief, and a reminder of our mortality. This was carried over into the early church. Both Tertullian (ca. 200 AD) and Eusebius (ca 300 AD) write about the use of ashes as a sign of asking for forgiveness for sins.
By the year 1000 AD, the season of Lent was becoming a time when all Christians would prepare themselves for Easter by repenting of their sins and asking for forgiveness. As first day, Ash Wednesday set the tone for the whole season. One monk (Ælfric of Eynsham) suggested that people have ashes poured over their heads (think of the mess that must have made!).

A day later, the Sporting Times carried a mock obituary of English cricket which concluded that: "The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia". The concept caught the imagination of the sporting public.
A few weeks later, an English team, captained by the Hon Ivo Bligh [later Lord Darnley], set off to tour Australia, with Bligh vowing to return with "the ashes"; his Australian counterpart, WL Murdoch, similarly vowed to defend them.
As well as playing three scheduled matches against the Australian national side, Bligh and the amateur players in his team participated in many social matches. It was after one such match, at the Rupertswood Estate outside Melbourne on Christmas Eve 1882, that Bligh was given the small terracotta urn as a symbol of the ashes that he had travelled to Australia to regain.
