Ghostbusters' Ernie Hudson, Author Paul Shemella, and Retired Captain and Author Donna Roman HernandezThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with actor Ernie Hudson, beloved as Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters. Hudson recounted that the role was anything but a given, since director Ivan Reitman, with whom he had worked the year before on Spacehunter, initially felt he was wrong for the film and would not even see him. It took months to land an audition, which he eventually won. Hudson said he always believed Ghostbusters would be a hit, given the funny cast and sharp script, but never imagined it would endure for decades and inspire such fiercely loyal fans. He recalled how, after Ghostbusters, fans and strangers alike began sharing their own ghost stories with him, a fitting lead-in to his appearance on the paranormal series The Haunting Of, airing Saturday, September 10th at 11 a.m., in which he revisits and shares personal experiences with the unexplained. Grateful and busy with a slate of projects, he said it is a great time in his career and that he feels blessed.Neil then welcomed author Paul Shemella, a retired Navy SEAL captain, lecturer, and caregiver whose memoir Into the Mist: An Alzheimer's Journey chronicles his wife Lena's illness and his devotion to her. Shemella explained that dementia is an umbrella term, like cancer, covering some hundred conditions, of which Alzheimer's is the most common at roughly seventy percent, with other forms requiring different approaches. He spoke candidly about starting out knowing nothing, even about a wife whose healthy living seemed like it should have prevented the disease, and about learning as he went. He pointed to encouraging research and to lifestyle habits that can lower risk, and framed his work, sharing what he wishes he had known, as a ministry to help other caregivers cope more effectively. He counts himself lucky that Lena, now unable to speak or walk, still smiles, and his mantra is to live from one smile to the next.The hour closes with a Criminally Good with Sherrie and Jen simulcast, presented by Storehouse Media Group, welcoming Donna Roman Hernandez, a retired thirty-year New Jersey police captain turned award-winning filmmaker, author, podcaster, and victim advocate. Roman Hernandez shared that she pursued the badge because she admired her father, an Essex County constable, only to endure decades of abuse from him at home, and she chose law enforcement anyway to help others who might have a bad parent too. Rising from a Newark 911 dispatcher to captain of an all-male department, a promotion she had to fight to have affirmed, she served as the county's domestic violence liaison and a trainer for the attorney general's office, all while never disclosing her own experience, out of a fear, common among officers and especially women, of being seen as weak. Her memoir, Battered Blue, released through her company Blue Force Films, weaves in her late mother's handwritten diary to honor a dying wish to tell their shared story. She reflected that the community she served became a kind of shield of armor, a place where, unlike in her childhood home, she felt safe and could see the good her work did, and that surviving the danger at home made the street feel manageable. Above all, she spoke of transforming pain into empathy and purpose, meeting victims not as someone reciting a training guide but as someone who has lived it.

US and the World It has been a solidly good spring in the American Midwest with no major planting issues. On June 29th USDA estimated 67% of the US corn crop was good to excellent while soybeans we’re rated at 65% good to excellent. June 30th always represents a benchmark for grain markets with the release of the June 30th acreage report. Acreage is important and in past years the June 30th acreage report would often serve as a volatile reminder of how prices can ebb and flow. Sometimes the changes in the report can be dramatic, and sometimes not. 2026 proved to be the latter. USDA is estimating that there will be 95.3 million acres of corn in the United States this year. This is down 3.5 million acres from last year’s 98.8 million acres of corn. This acreage is the 5th largest on record but points to the second largest corn crop ever after last year. The quarterly corn stocks number came in at 5.29 billion bushels which was up 14% from 2025. Soybeans were the benefactor from the lower corn numbers. US soybean acreage is set to come in at 85.4 million acres this year. This is 5% higher than a year ago. The quarterly stocks numbers for soybeans came in at 1.06 million bushels which was 5% higher than a year ago. The bigger surprise in the acreage equation was wheat which came in at 42.7 million acres, 1.1 million acres below expectations. This will be the lowest US wheat acreage on record. On July 3rd corn, soybeans and wheat were higher than the last Market Trends report. September 2026 corn futures was at $4.23 a bushel. Dec 2026 corn was at $4.41 bu. The August 2026 soybean futures was at $11.36 bu. The November 2026 soybean futures were at $11.47. The Sept 2026 wheat futures closed at $5.99 a bushel. The Minneapolis Sept 2026 wheat futures closed at $6.18 a bushel with the September 2027 contract closing at $6.89 a bushel. The nearby oil futures as of July 3rd, 2026, closed at $68.78/barrel much lower vs the nearby futures recorded in the last Market Trends report of $84.88/barrel. The average price for US ethanol in the US was $2.17/gallon, lower vs the $2.18/gallon recorded in the last Market Trends Report. The Canadian dollar noon rate on July 3rd, 2026, was .7042 US, down vs the .7155 US reported here in the last Market Trends report. The Bank of Canada’s lending rate remained at 2.25%. Ontario In Ontario things are looking pretty good. Very hot weather has pushed development in both corn and soybeans. There is dryness in southwestern Ontario where a widespread rain would be welcome especially going into pollination for the corn crop. However, it is a different story in eastern Ontario where they’ve had widespread rains and it is such a different story than last year when drought ruled the day. Winter wheat harvest has commenced in Essex County as of early July and this will ramp up across Ontario depending on the weather in the next couple of weeks. It’s important to remember that Ontario is a big province with croplands stretching from Windsor to the Quebec border as well as up into northern Ontario and as far West as the Rainy River district. This will not only lead to variable conditions province wide but also differences in cash markets. Producers should always be vigilant of this when marketing their grain. The Canadian dollar has fallen below the $71 US range over the last couple of weeks which is further added stimulus to Ontario cash prices. This has happened at a time when futures prices have risen slightly compared to the lower values of a few weeks ago. This has caused basis levels to strengthen for both corn and soybeans. Keep in mind the traditional higher basis level for eastern Ontario corn is happening reflecting the lower production numbers from last year’s drought as well as a robust export program from Ontario. Old crop corn basis levels are $1.50 to $2.35 over the September 2026 corn futures on July 3rd across the province. New crop corn basis levels were $1.35 to $1.86 over Dec 2026 futures. The old crop basis levels for soybeans range from $4.00 to $4.40 over the August 2026 futures. New crop soybeans range from $3.66 to $3.85 over the November 2026 futures. Ontario SRW wheat prices are in flux during harvest by as of July 3rd are approximately $7.30. For July 2027 new crop the bid is in the $7.61/bu range. On June 3rd the US replacement price for corn was $6.53/bushel. You can access all these Ontario grain prices in the marketing section at https://gfo.ca/daily-commodity-report/ The Bottom Line It seems like a little different world now. Earlier when we had the war in Iran in the front pages everyday oil prices surged to $120.00 a barrel. In many ways this dragged corn up over $5 a bushel and $12.00 a bushel for soybeans on the futures market. Even though that conflict is not over and there is a 60-day moratorium of understanding, the edginess in the market from those earlier days is gone. Of course, this has led too much lower prices. Keep in mind that there has been an exit of non-commercial interests in our grain markets. With the war in Iran starting, we saw the funds accumulate more long positions. At the height of this inflation trade, funds were long 300,000 contracts in corn and 200,000 contracts in soybeans. It was a case of money flow and maybe it continues to be as some of these funds are turning back and buying again. Keep in mind the funds are looked at as villains sometimes but as saviours other times. They add a lot of liquidity to our grain market. Who knows what the immediate future might bring but one lesson we might take from the last few months is the effect on oil prices on just about everything. For instance, we saw corn, soybeans and wheat go up as oil reached $120.00 a barrel. The same could be said with fertilizer and fuel prices. Now that oil is reach levels since before the Iran war everything is down. It is a benchmark lesson for the future. Geopolitical events which push the price of oil, can push everything and when it’s over it’s over and agricultural commodity prices retreat. Always a variable in the grain market weather is setting up now as quite interesting. In Europe they have had tremendous heat, and this is having an effect on their corn production. For instance, the most active November European corn futures are moving to contract highs as French corn production may fall 30% in 2026. That is completely opposite to what we are expecting in the United States and South America this year. However, it is an example of what can happen if the weather goes South. Commodity Specific Comments Corn It’s getting to be that time of year when corn is stressed. In other words, it’s getting to be that critical time of year and any weather stress whether that’s lack of rain or too much rain or very hot temperatures can impact corn yield significantly. It’s not perfect in the American Midwest but it’s close. The next few weeks will tell the story going into pollination. In retrospect, we saw about an 80 cent drop in the price of corn from its highs of $5.06 a bushel. The funds now have a small net long position and if the weather goes sideways, they will likely add to that putting corn in a position to rally again. However, will it be enough to get back to the $5 level? The answer is blowing in the wind depending on whether Mother Nature plays nice. The July 2026 corn contract is currently priced at 8.75 cents lower than the September 2026 contract a bearish indication of old crop corn demand. Seasonally, we know that corn prices tend to peak in early June and bottom out in early October. The July 2026 corn futures contract is at the 6th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Soybeans Soybeans have resisted the price decreases over the last month, sustained by good demand especially in the soybean oil market which continues to have healthy price increases. Yes, the soybean renewable diesel boom in the United States is making a long-term difference. As we all know, soybeans are made in August, so the jury is still out. An outlier with regard to soybeans is Chinese demand. The Chinese had bought a little bit earlier, but they’ve still not come in and bought the 25 MMT they committed to in an early agreement after the President’s visit to Beijing. Generally speaking, it’s at this time of the year when they would be buying American beans. There has been no incentive to do so up until now as the American beans are cheaper than Brazilian soybeans. Fresh Chinese buying would significantly boost soybean prices at this time of year. The August 2026 soybean contract is currently priced 5.25 cents below the September contract considered bearish for old crop soybean demand. Seasonally, soybean prices tend to peak in early July and bottom out in early October. The November 2026 soybean contract is currently at the 25th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Wheat After reaching highs earlier in the spring wheat prices plummeted and now are seemingly rebounding again. Part of the price increase earlier had to do with dry weather in the American wheat country and the war in Iran. Keep in mind that Europe has had extreme heat and drought which is affecting wheat there and this might pressure prices in the weeks to come. However, keep in mind that prices now are still higher than they were a year ago. As always, there is wheat everywhere in the world filling supply gaps. The latest USDA report reiterated the trend by saying the US has the smallest wheat crop on record. In Ontario early reports from Essex County are showing pretty good wheat yields and pretty good quality. Wheat is turning quickly across the province and the wheat harvest will likely proceed depending on the weather going forward. Cash prices have also been bolstered by a slight rebound in wheat futures and a Canadian dollar in the $0.70 range. The Bottom Line (cont.) With the Canadian dollar currently sitting at .7042 US there’s been considerable stimulus added to Canadian cash grain prices. As always, the Canadian dollar is a thinly traded currency and generally is at an inverse value to American dollar. However, it has also been buffeted by a Canadian economy that is slowed and interest rates expectations which have changed. This has been accentuated by the American decision not to renew CUSMA. Will the Canadian dollar go under $0.70 US? It is all so hard to say but eventually it will start the long March back to 80 cents and even $0.90 US. It will always be an added layer within our Ontario grain marketing plans. Geopolitics continues to be very real, but it also is so dialed in to our grain trading algorithms. The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran runs out on August the 18th and depending on what might happen will also have an effect on a grain price volatility. At the same time Ukrainian drones are reaching deep inside of Russia causing supply constraints and disarray within the Russian war narrative. The possibility these events might reignite oil and grain prices will likely continue. It is often said that rain makes grain and that is surely true in 2026 as any other year. There is also the narrative that the greatest cure for low prices is low prices. In that regard over the last year and a half we had seen grain demand acceleration. There has been no demand destruction because of high prices however, at a certain point when supply is constrained in some way, we will need grain prices to rise to ration demand. This always needs to be kept in mind within our marketing plans. As we move into the later parts of July, as stated earlier we will be getting into the critical pollination period for corn, where moisture and mild temperatures are always preferred. After that we will be looking toward August and the soybean pod set and this is always critical to production going forward. The challenge for Ontario producers is to continue to refine their marketing plans to capture the marketing opportunities that will inevitably occur. Risk management never gets old. Daily market intelligence will remain key. The post Special Edition – Market Trends Report – USDA Report July 6, 2026 appeared first on Grain Farmers of Ontario.

Historic New England plans to open its long-awaited preservation and collections center a week from Saturday with “Shoe Stories: Part, Present, Future” as its opening exhibit along with a day of free activities for the public.The nonprofit, which operates 38 museums across the region, began housing its collections in 1988 within a former shoe manufacturing building in Haverhill. It went on to buy the building and its twin, spurring plans in 2023 for a history center. Vin Cipolla, president and CEO of Historic New England, appeared recently on WHAV and outlined the plans.“Historic New England owns twin former shoe manufacturing buildings on Essex Street, 151 Essex and 143 Essex. And we have made a major investment. And the entire first floor of one of those historic buildings will be the new Historic New England Haverhill Center,” Cipolla said.The ribbon cutting is Saturday, June 27, at 11 a.m., followed by a block party at noon on Essex Street.Historic New England Curator Michelle Tolini Finamore leada a guided gallery walk of “Shoe Stories: Part, Present, Future,” at noon. A question-and-answer session on the Historic New England Haverhill Immersive Experience follows at 12:30 p.m. The Innovators Series launches at 1:30 p.m. with a conversation on the future of shoe design hosted by Finamore and including shoe designers Thom Solo, Yuly Fuentes-Medel and Kelly Chickering. The winners of the Stuart Weitzman Heart & Sole Teen Shoe Design competition will be announced after the lecture. The day concludes with a hip-hop dance performance at 3 p.m. by the Floor Lords, followed by an interactive hip-hop dance for kids led by the group.Historic New England bought the Lang building in 2006 to store its more than 125,000 New England decorative arts and 1.5 million historic documents. In 2023, the nonprofit bought the adjacent Burgess building which allowed it to imagine the site as a cultural hub. Haverhill architect Charles Willis Damon designed the two eight-story buildings in 1912 for bankers William H. Burgess and Howard W. Lang of Boston. They were the largest concrete shoe factories in the world at that time.Historic New England hired DesignLab Architects of Boston to design the exhibition space located in the Burgess building at 143 Essex St. Three other architecture firms, TenBerke, Brandon Haw Architecture and Howeler + Yoon, have been asked to come up with ideas for a cohesive cultural campus that Historic New England plans to develop in the coming years.The Shoe Stories exhibit includes footwear designed for Boston Ballet Company principal Diana Albrecht, Beyoncé, Julia Childs and Walter Gropius. Designers include Chris Donovan, Gucci, Sarah Guerin, Viktoria Modesta, Thom Sol, Louis Vuitton and Stuart Weitzman. The exhibit is divided into five sections: The New England Shoe Industry, Artful Accessories, All Seasons Sporting and A Family Recipe: Seymour and Stuart Weitzman and Workers Stories.Curating the exhibit with Finamore is Nora Ellen Carleson and Lorna Condon, both on the staff of Historic New England. The center will be open Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m. and Fridays, from noon to 8 p.m.“Obviously, we are really dialing into the extraordinary shoe manufacturing legacy of Haverhill and the Merrimack Valley region and beyond. And the objects that will be in the exhibition center for the Shoe Stories exhibit are just going to be extraordinary and delightful,” Cipolla said.Founded in 1910 as the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, Historic New England owns 38 historic properties in New England, 11 in Essex County.Support the show

What does 1692 have to do with 1775? More than you might think.The families of 1692 did not vanish from history. One to two generations after the Salem witch trials, descendants of both the accused and the accusers were drilling on village training fields, defying British soldiers, and dying on the same battlefields. Israel Putnam, one of the Revolution's boldest generals, was born in Salem Village, raised in a family at the center of 1692, and though he moved to Connecticut, he answered the call when Massachusetts needed him most.From Leslie's Retreat in Salem to the Battle of Menotomy, Bunker Hill, the siege of Boston, Long Island, and Saratoga, the men of Essex County were present from the first confrontation to the wider war. And Benjamin Franklin's tie to the Salem witch trials runs closer than most people know.This episode connects two of American history's most significant chapters and asks: what did the witch trial era leave behind, and how did it shape the people who built this country?Danvers and Salem historian Dan Gagnon, author of A Salem Witch: A Biography of Rebecca Nurse, returns to The Thing About Witch Hunts to tell stories of the North Shore's role in the American Revolution as part of America 250. From a standoff at a toll bridge to the bloodiest stretch of road on Patriots Day 1775, the story of Essex County and the Lexington Alarm is one most Americans were never taught.Hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack trace the thread from the Salem witch trials through Lexington and Concord, from the Rebecca Nurse Homestead to the halls of the Continental Congress, and from the accused of 1692 to the soldiers of 1775.What You Will Learn:The through-line between 1692 and 1775 that changes how you understand bothWhy Leslie's Retreat in Salem months before Lexington and Concord matters more than you have been toldWhat happened when Salem witch trial family names started showing up on revolutionary muster rollsIsrael Putnam: the founding-era general with Salem Village roots whose story was nearly erased from history, and whyA founding father with a direct family tie to the Salem witch trials, and what that connection revealsWhat one brutal day at the Battle of Menotomy cost a single Massachusetts town, and why they brought their dead homeWhat you can see at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead today that quietly holds the story of two centuriesDan Gagnon leads walking tours in Danvers and the Rebecca Nurse Homestead is open seasonally. #AmericanRevolution #America250 #IsraelPutnam #LesliesRetreat #BattleOfMemotomy #BattleOfBunkerHill #SiegeOfBoston #LexingtonAndConcord #LexingtonAlarm #PatriotsDay1775 #BattleOfLongIsland #FrenchAndIndianWar #BostonTeaParty #GeneralGage #GeorgeWashington #BenjaminFranklin #RebeccaNurse #RebeccaNurseHomestead #DanversAlarmList #Minutemen #ContinentalCongress #CoerciveActs #Marblehead #Menotomy #Arlington #EssexCounty #NorthShore #ColonialHistory #AmericanHistory #FoundingFathers #RevolutionaryWarLinks Rebecca Nurse Homestead: rebeccanurse.orgA Salem Witch: A Biography of Rebecca Nurse by Dan Gagnon: www.bookshop.org/Shop/endwitchhuntsEnd Witch Hunts endwitchhunts.orgAbout Witch Hunts aboutwitchhunts.comSalem Witch Trials History YouTube: https://youtube.com/@aboutwitchhunts

In this episode, we explore what it really means to eat locally in the Adirondacks — not just during summer's peak produce season, but all year long, even through deep winter. We sit down with Bella Susino, Program Leader of Adirondack Harvest, the regional initiative (housed within Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County) connecting people, farms, forests, and communities across the North Country.Bella takes us from the grassroots origins of Adirondack Harvest in the early 2000s to the vibrant, ever-growing local food scene of today. We talk drought, climate resiliency, winter markets, CSA culture, local economic impact, and why “buying local” is really an investment in your neighbors, community health, and even the ecosystem.Along the way, we get into farm-to-school programs, the challenges behind digital marketing for small farms, how restaurants can be better partners, and why Essex County remains the beating agricultural heart of the Adirondack Park.And yes — we also get a peek behind the scenes of the beloved Adirondack Harvest Festival, plus Bella's heartfelt ode to Raquette Lake and a gentle reminder that some backcountry treasures should stay off the map.What you'll hear in this episode:How Adirondack Harvest grew from grassroots farmland protection efforts into the region's most comprehensive local food network.Why Essex County is the agricultural “breadbasket” of the Adirondacks — and how drought and new weather patterns are reshaping farm life.Winter farmers markets: where to find them, what to expect, and how to discover year-round local products.The real economic impact of buying local — and why co-ops, farm stands, and direct-from-farm bulk buying matter.Bella's favorite success stories connecting farms to restaurants, schools, and hospitals (including seed potatoes, microgreens, and local food in the Saranac Lake Medical Center).New initiatives for 2026: cuisine trails, international food trails, increased digital help for farms, and expanded education efforts.The roots and evolution of the Adirondack Harvest Festival — from its Rutabaga Festival beginnings to 3,000-visitor celebrations today.Why Leave No Trace matters far beyond hiking… and what “old-world Adirondack living” really means.Resources:Adirondack HarvestCornell Cooperative Extension of Essex CountyEssex Food HubBig Slide BreweryKneading Change: How Triple Green Jade Farm is Rising TogetherLeave No Trace PrinciplesNori's Village MarketProduced by NOVA

“How long have you been in the snare of the devil?” That was the lose‑lose question asked of those—mostly women—accused of witchcraft in Essex County, where Salem Village was located, in 1692. According to the Cornell University historian Mary Beth Norton, PhD '69, however, it was the accusers, rather than their targets, who were in the thrall of something powerful. In her 2002 Ambassador Award–winning book In the Devil's Snare, Norton says that the Salem witchcraft crisis was driven not by a demonic force, but rather by the trauma of the nearby wars with New England's Indigenous populations—conflicts that had been raging for many years and had left an indelible mark on many refugees who fled to towns on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Lured Up Podcast 352Live Streamed on - 7/2/2025Audio & VoD Publish Date - 7/4/2025We started this episode with ambitious intentions. We had planned to cover the onslaught of news and events that packed the July calendar, and discuss the monetization shift the gameplay flow has seen over the last few months. Instead, we ended up talking shop about GO Fest Global for the entire show! The GO Fest Global weekend was incredible and was filled with amazing gameplay and core memories. Adam shares his experiences playing with the Tri-City Pokémon GO group out of Rochester, NH and Ken talks about his NJ tour to 6 different Community Ambassador meetups.This weekend brought out the best in the Community, and Ken learned a ton simply by getting out of Red Bank. From exceptionally chill vibes in Hudson County, NJ to the diehard Trainers in Essex County, the event amplified just how many different ways this game can be enjoyed.Not only is the game played by so many different walks of life, but the areas of the game that are important to different Trainers was completely diverse. With some Communities just there to hang out with friends, to others tracking their hundos to the last minute of the event. In the end, it was all about friends getting together to share their passion in an environment filled with positivity. This was definitely a fun episode, with a ton of laughs, interaction with the chat, and both hosts using their Gold Bottle Caps. Against the wishes of the chat, Adam decided to Hyper Train 3 HP points on his Shiny Zamazenta with a NJ Background. It was one of the most fun moments we have had on the podcast ever, with the chat nearly falling out of their chairs. Ken decided to take a fun Pokémon, Rockstar Pikachu, and take it from Nundo to Hundo. Something tells me that Adam will be done a lot sooner than Ken will be!Huge thank you to all of the new viewers and listeners this week.
