Chris Holman welcomes back Nick Chaffin, Program Compliance Officer, CAMW! Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties.

THEME: Capital Area Michigan Works! reviews the Rapid Response program and its role in supporting employers and employees through a layoff. 

Question: What is the Rapid Response program and how does it support businesses facing layoffs or closures? 

The Rapid Response Program aims to respond to downsizing and closures that impact our region’s workforce, enabling those affected to return to work as soon as possible. 
The program's benefits are two-fold: supporting employees impacted by job loss and benefiting businesses as they navigate business changes.
We know that layoffs are a difficult decision for employers to make. By working with our Rapid Response Team, employers can implement strategies before a layoff to prevent downsizing or ensure their employees are supported and connected to other available employment opportunities if a layoff is truly needed. 
Additional employer benefits include: 
Minimizing disruption during workforce transitions.
 Implementing cost-friendly aversion strategies that reduce turnover and recruitment costs. 
Connections to financial aid, training and incentives. 
The program helps employees who experience layoffs find new positions that match their skill sets. Employees may also receive early intervention to help them make informed decisions concerning their future and employment services including training and income support. 
Through the combined efforts of local workforce boards, economic development organizations and other stakeholders, Rapid Response helps communities address the broader economic impact of significant layoffs or closures, supports efforts to revitalize local economies and helps employees find opportunities to reenter the workforce quickly. 

Question: What steps does the Rapid Response program take to support impacted employees?

 If layoffs are unavoidable, a worker orientation meeting will be organized, where the CAMW! team will meet with affected employees and connect them with information and support in finding a new job. 
Rapid Response meetings with the workforce are designed to help the employees file for Unemployment Insurance and get established with their local Michigan Works! Agencies. Some of the resources provided in meetings include: 
Basic assessment, job development, advanced screened referrals, group activities and job search support. Comprehensive personalized assessments, counseling, case management, literacy activities, out-of-area job search and relocation assistance. 
Training opportunities like on-the-job training, workplace training with instruction, registered apprenticeships, skill upgrading & retraining so workers can perform transitional jobs. 
CAMW! staff will also provide information on the WIOA Dislocated Workers program, an initiative designed to help workers get back to work as quickly as possible after losing their jobs due to layoffs, plant closures or other economic factors.

Question: Why is it important that businesses employ the Rapid Response program when facing potential layoffs, and what are some additional benefits the program offers that employers may not know about? 

Question: Where can people go to learn more about the Rapid Response program? 

To learn more about the Rapid Response program or connect with CAMW’s business services team, contact Tekea Norwood, Chief Operating Officer, at (517) 492-5541, or Nick Chaffin, Program Compliance Officer, at (517) 492- 5524

Flash Out_v1_JDT_Q

Boots on the floor, elbows on the bar — this is the full pub version of Hell’s Bells and Empty Barrels. A riotous stomp-along packed with shouts, claps, cheek, and chaos. From stolen kisses to spilled pints, every verse swings with swagger and singalong energy. Pour it loud and raise a glass.

[LYRICS]

I punched the jukebox for a jig,
Spilled half me pint on Old Man Briggs.
He cursed, I laughed, then took a bow,
The crowd just roared — they liked it now.

Slipped on a boot that wasn’t mine,
Kissed the wrong lass — said, “You’ll do fine.”
Got slapped so hard I saw the stars,
The band struck up — I missed me bars!

Raise yer mugs and bang the floor!
We’ve all been thrown out once or more!
Love and bruises, rum and sin—
And I’d bloody do it all again!

AND I’D BLOODY DO IT ALL AGAIN!
HEY!

Won a card game with a stolen ace,
Till Maggie’s cousin showed his face.
He swung a stool — I ducked and tripped,
And knocked the barkeep as I slipped.

She spilled gin down me bloody shirt,
Said “Pay me back, you cheeky flirt!”

I grinned, she poured, then said “Alright
Now mop it up — or take a bite!

I said: “Who drank all the bitter, boys?”
“YOU DID, LAD — and made some noise!”
I said: “Who kissed someone’s mum last night?”
“YOU DID, LAD — AND SAID SHE’S RIGHT!”

They chased me round the busted drum,
I hid behind the barmaid’s bum.

She winked, I ducked — we kissed again,
She said, “Next round? You’re buyin’, then.”

Woke up wedged ‘tween stool and door,
Me boots were swapped, me knuckles sore.
A note was pinned to me left thigh:
“You owe three drinks and one black eye.”

The priest walked in with Maggie’s hat—
I said, “She’s not mine! …Well, not like that!”

He prayed, I cursed, then rang the bell
“Let holy water come from hell!”

Raise yer mugs and bang the floor!
We’ve all been thrown out once or more!
Love and bruises, rum and sin—
And I’d bloody do it all again!

And I’d bloody do it all again!
Aye, I’d bloody do it all again!

With me boots, me sins, me grin
I’d bloody do it ALL again!
So fill that pint and count me in!

Pastor Mike preaches on God's holiness, his actions, our response, and how the Transfiguration of Jesus shows us not only his divinity and humanity but also what he has promised us in the resurrection. 

Transfiguration, Year A: Psalm 99; Luke 9:28-36

Holy is He!

¡Qué onda, compa! 🤘 Aquí les va una rola que le canta las verdades a esos que confunden la amistad con el antojo. "Eso no es de compas" es nuestra respuesta rocanrolera a esas dinámicas donde la línea entre el "brother" y el "amante" se rompe bajo el influjo del chupe o la doble cara.

Esta canción es una crítica directa a la hipocresía de disfrazar el deseo de afecto platónico, y un llamado a la claridad y el respeto en las relaciones. Porque los compas se cuidan en lo jodido, ¡pero eso no es andar "empinao" por el diablo en el oído!

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.
