Survey highlights mental health challenges Beacon firefighter David Brewer has performed CPR on five people he knew, including a friend who collapsed on Labor Day weekend in 2023 and died despite his efforts. Then there are the other stressors: being away from his family for 24-hour shifts, the rush of adrenaline when an alarm sounds and the anxious efforts to extinguish a fire. A panic attack hospitalized him on Christmas Eve a few years ago, said Brewer. "Your bucket just gets filled up and filled up and filled up until, eventually, it overflows," said Brewer. That is the situation for many first responders, according to an inaugural statewide survey of 6,000 emergency personnel, including 900 from the Mid-Hudson region, that asked about their mental health. Released on Feb. 5, the report is a collaboration between the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, the Institute for Disaster Mental Health and the Benjamin Center for Public Policy Initiatives at SUNY New Paltz. Of the police officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency dispatchers and emergency managers surveyed, 94 percent cited stress as a challenge and nine out of 10 mentioned burnout and anxiety. A majority also reported stress from traumatic events such as shootings and accidents (56 percent) and suffering symptoms of depression (53 percent). Another 40 percent experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and 16 percent thought of suicide. Being exposed to constant trauma "can destroy relationships, it can destroy families, it can destroy that person," said Aaron Leonard, a lieutenant with the Cold Spring Fire Co. and the newly appointed CEO of Guardian Revival, a Beacon organization that provides services for veterans and first responders, including peer counseling. "I have had my own experiences of sitting at my house having dinner, and then five minutes later, I'm doing CPR, the person passes away and you just go back home," he said. "Where do you unpack that experience?" The list of barriers that prevent first responders from getting help is long, with about 80 percent citing the stigmas surrounding mental health and concerns that colleagues will deem them unreliable. Others worried that seeking help would impact their career or cause supervisors to treat them differently (74 percent), or lead to losing their firearms license (68 percent). "It used to be, push that stuff down," said Brewer, whose 43-year firefighting career includes 25 years as a volunteer. "You were a lesser firefighter if you talked about that." Brewer was "circling the drain" before a 45-minute phone call with a peer counselor at Guardian Revival helped him understand that he did everything possible to save his friend. He has also attended a Guardian Revival workshop where veterans and first responders congregate around a campfire to talk about stressors. "Sometimes you go, 'Wow, I'm not alone,'" said Brewer. "Sometimes you go, 'I'm not that messed up.' " In addition to peer counseling, survey respondents expressed interest in training on topics such as managing stress and coping with anxiety or depression. Their wish list of solutions includes access to gym memberships or in-house equipment, like the weight room at Beacon's new firehouse, and paid time for mental health care. Guardian Revival has memorandums of understanding to assist 25 fire departments in Dutchess and Putnam counties with wellness programs, said Leonard. The Cold Spring Fire Co. launched its program on Monday (Feb. 10) with a yoga class for firefighters and their families. Shari Alexander, a Cold Spring firefighter, coordinates the program with Leonard's wife, Leslie, who teaches the yoga class. Alexander said two personal trainers have volunteered to lead strength training, she will lead a class on breathing techniques and there will be a pushup challenge and sessions on topics such as healthy eating. "Calls can be difficult and emotional and taxing," she said. "Part of it is preven...

Project a tribute to late Cold Spring shopkeeper Before her unexpected death on May 6, Stephanie Doucette, a Main Street shop owner and secretary for the Cold Spring Fire Co., had a project in mind. Doucette, who joined the company in 2023, thought a firefighter calendar could raise money for the volunteer department. She began working on concepts with photographer Quinn Chandler, an associate member of the CSFC. The calendar is now a reality, ready for 2025. It features interior firefighters Charlotte Brooks, Will Etta, Michael Bowman, Dawn Baisley, Matt Steltz, Josh DiNardo, Alex de Souza, Travis Fyfe and Matt Woods, and probationary firefighter Lauren de la Vega. There's also 32-year veteran Wayne Rudolph of the fire police and company president Aaron Leonard and his wife, Leslie, who portray Santa and Mrs. Claus in December. Brooks, who coordinated the project, said the firefighters had mixed reactions about having their photo included, decked out in their gear. "Some were excited, others were a little camera shy," she said. "But overall, there's overwhelming support for a project that Stephanie pioneered, and that exemplifies her love of this community." She said Doucette saw the calendar not only as a fundraiser but as a gift to CSFC members. Leonard said the fire company earlier this year created a committee, chaired by Brooks, to revitalize fundraising. In the past, CSFC raised money annually to cover the cost of new equipment, including vehicles. "Our operating expenses always exceed what we request from the Village of Cold Spring," he said. In the near future, the department will need new radios and pagers for its 24 active firefighters, a project Leonard said will likely exceed $50,000. Calendars can be purchased for $20 at coldspringfireco.org or at Drug World and other local retailers.

We interview esteemed author and historian Aaron Leonard and pick his brain about his new book "Meltdown Expected: Crisis, Disorder, and Upheaval at the end of the 1970s." The title really says it all.

Writer and historian Aaron Leonard comes back on the show to talk about his latest book Whole World in Uproar - Music, Rebellion and Repression 1955-1972. In the interview we talk about state repression of The Beatles, FBI files on Dylan's girlfriend and why Phil Ochs and Jefferson Airplane deserve attention as radical artists of the 60's. Along the way we talk about various illegal and immoral wars (past and present), drugs (why they should all be legal), sex (ok not too much sex in this one) and rock and roll (lots of material here!)

In this interview, Kenny Novis speaks with the historian Aaron Leonard about his latest book, Whole World in an Uproar: Music, Rebellion and Repression 1955-1972. This book deals with the radical history of American folk music during the cold war, as well as the ways in which radical folk singers were repressed by various institutions, including not only the FBI, but also the press and radio. In their discussion, Kenny and Aaron review some of the key themes of the book, including how the nature of political music shifted across the 40s-50s, the place of famous musicians in the resistance to the Vietnam war (including Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Phil Ochs, and more), and the broader relation between art and revolutionary politics.Buy Aaron's book here: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/whole-world-in-an-uproar-music-rebellion-and-repression-1955-1972/Aaron's website: http://www.aaronleonard.net/Support Zer0 Books on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zerobooksSubscribe: http://bit.ly/SubZeroBooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books-----Other links:Check out the projects of some of the new contributors to Zer0 Books:Acid HorizonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/acidhorizonMerch: crit-drip.comThe Philosopher's Tarot from Repeater Books: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/The Horror VanguardApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/horror-vanguard/id1445594437Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorvanguardBuddies Without OrgansApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/buddies-without-organs/id1543289939Website: https://buddieswithout.org/Xenogothic: https://xenogothic.com/Support Daniel Tutt's work by visiting the Torsion Groups Patreon account: https://patreon.com/torsiongroups

The history of the FBI's involvement in quelling left-wing opposition in 20th-century America has yet to be fully documented. Aaron Leonard and Connor Gallagher are two of the foremost historians attempting to expose the true capacities of the FBI, unburdened by the conspiratorial paranoia normally surrounding this subject. In this video, Aaron Leonard and Connor Gallagher discuss the re-release of their book ‘Heavy Radicals: The FBI's Secret War on America's Maoists' with Kenny Novis and Joshua Moufawad-Paul. This book serves as a detailed and well-documented reminder of the counter-revolutionary powers held by first-world governments, and includes many lessons from which today's militants would do well to learn.The book: https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/zer0-books/our-books/heavy-radicalsAaron Leonard's website: http://aaronleonard.netSupport Zer0 Books on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zerobooksSubscribe: http://bit.ly/SubZeroBooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books-----Other links:Check out the projects of some of the new contributors to Zer0 Books:Acid HorizonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/acidhorizonMerch: crit-drip.comThe Philosopher's Tarot from Repeater Books: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/The Horror VanguardApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/horror-vanguard/id1445594437Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorvanguardBuddies Without OrgansApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/buddies-without-organs/id1543289939Website: https://buddieswithout.org/Xenogothic: https://xenogothic.com/Support Daniel Tutt's work by visiting the Torsion Groups Patreon account: https://patreon.com/torsiongroups

In this Veteran's Day special we speak with two veterans who, after their service, found healing through getting out into nature and are now paving the way for all veterans to experience the same. Aaron Leonard and Lornett Vestal head up the Sierra Club Military Outreach program which ensures that every veteran has the opportunity to experience healing and growth through outdoor adventures.

Aaron Leonard is on a mission: finding ways to help veterans gain access to wide range of outdoor activities and places where they can find solace, friendship and a healing relationship with the great outdoors. Working for the Sierra Club - one of America's largest and oldest organizations focusing on preserving the outdoors for current and future generations - Leonard makes the it happen.  He worked with a larger group to bring about the Outdoor Rx Act for NYS.  The act is a downpayment for helping current and future generations of vets gain benefit from the outdoors. In this interview, Leonard explains his role, what the Outdoor Rx Act can do and the future of veteran access and education about the wonders of our great American outdoors. Sierra Club Military Outdoors:  www.sierraclub.orgContact Aaron Leonard: aaron.leonard@sierraclub.orgwww.dirksoutdoors.comEmail: dirksoutdoors@gmail.com

A film from 1976 about the anti-Communist blacklist. Written, directed and acted by formerly blacklisted artists, and starring Woody Allen. Featuring guest co-host Aaron Leonard author of “The Folksingers & The Bureau”. Directed by by Martin Ritt (blacklisted 1951), written by Walter Bernstein (blacklisted 1950) and co-starring Michael Murphy, Andrea Marcovicci & Zero Mostel, Herschel Bernard, Loyd Gough & Joshua Shelly (blacklisted in 1950, 53, 52 and 52, respectively). Starring Woody Allen. How is the world wrong about this movie? From Andras: The world is wrong about Woody Allen. The world is wrong about 20th century anti-Communism. And the world is wrong about anti-semitism. Danny Peary chose “The Front” as his best picture of 1976 in his book “The Alternate Oscars” and it feels like a big influence of Larry David, but for reasons that are probably obvious this film, which has so much to say to us at this particular cultural moment is not a part of the cultural dialogue.

We’re joined by authors and educators Aaron Leonard and Connor Gallagher, coauthors of Heavy Radicals, A Threat of the First Magnitude, and the Folksinger and the Bureau. We take a closer examination on the assassination of Fred Hampton, operational differences between the FBI & the police, and what we can learn from it.

Newly unearthed documents have shed new light on the FBI’s role in the murder of the 21-year-old Black Panther leader Fred Hampton on December 4, 1969, when Chicago police raided Hampton’s apartment and shot and killed him in his bed, along with fellow Black Panther leader Mark Clark. Authorities initially claimed the Panthers had opened fire on the police who were there to serve a search warrant for weapons, but evidence later emerged that told a very different story: The FBI, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Chicago police had conspired to assassinate Fred Hampton. FBI memos and reports obtained by historian and writer Aaron Leonard now show that senior FBI officials played key roles in planning the raid and the subsequent cover-up. “It was approved at the highest level,” says attorney Jeff Haas. We also speak with attorney Flint Taylor. Both are with the People’s Law Office and were the lead lawyers in a landmark civil rights case over the deaths of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark.
