Despite legal barriers, persistent talk about restart When the Indian Point nuclear power plant south of Philipstown shut down in 2021, its legal obligations were clear: It could not restart, nor could any new nuclear power be generated there, without the unanimous consent of the Village of Buchanan, the Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, New York State and the Hendrick Hudson School District. Despite that high bar, the insistence by county and state officials that they will never allow nuclear power to be generated at the site, and the fact that the plant is being dismantled, the possibility of Indian Point reopening continues to surface. The question came up again at the Feb. 19 meeting of the Indian Point Decommissioning Oversight Board (DOB) after a video was posted online of a plant worker saying that the decommissioning of one part of the plant was on hold due to a possible restart. The video was shot by Andrew Walker, aka Radioactive Drew. On his YouTube channel, which has nearly 100,000 subscribers, Walker shares his documentaries about the world's most radioactive places. In a three-part video that premiered last month, Walker was given a tour of Indian Point by two longtime employees. When visiting the turbines at Reactor 3, Walker asks Brent Magurno, a radiation protection supervisor, "With the whole possible restart that's on the table of this place happening, no work has been done to take these out of service, right?" "Initially, yes," said Magurno. "But then we stopped once the question was asked about restarting, and so we're not proceeding until we get the final answer on that on this side of the plant." A few minutes later, decommissioning supervisor Brian Vangor noted that, because of an ongoing legal dispute over whether Holtec can discharge radioactive wastewater into the Hudson River, some equipment the plant could theoretically use if it were to reopen remains in place. "Many more things would be taken apart if the water in some of those pools I told you about was gone," he said. "New York State did us a little bit of a favor. Rare, but they did us a favor." Holtec International, the company responsible for decommissioning, has said it has no plans to reopen Indian Point. When DOB chair Tom Congdon asked Holtec's Matt Johnson at the Feb. 19 meeting if the video meant its plans had changed, he replied that Magurno's comment was "categorically false and incorrect." "We have not started work on the turbines based on our schedule and our resources," Johnson said. "My opinion is that it was somebody who was excited and showing our plant and maybe got a little ahead of himself and used a poor choice of words, so that is not what Holtec intends to put out there." Johnson said that he did not know when the turbines were scheduled for removal, but that it would not be in the next year. "We don't have any plans to restart at this time," he said. "If for some reason that came about, obviously there would be major changes to decommissioning, because we wouldn't be able to do that with funds from the decommissioning trust fund." Dana Levenberg, a state Assembly Member who sits on the board and whose district includes Philipstown, said that "this kind of stuff obviously makes the community trust you less." "You tell us one thing at the DOB meeting, and then we hear something else in a video, and people go crazy," she said. "We don't need that. We need reassurances and assurances and proof on paper, in writing, signed documents that says what your plan is, when you're going to do this, when you're going to do that, and you need to stick to it." In September, Kelly Trice, the president of Holtec International, said that Indian Point could be restarted in four years for $8 billion to $10 billion. At a DOB meeting a few weeks later, Holtec's Patrick O'Brien said that Trice was speaking theoretically because the federal Department of Energy had asked all shuttered nuclear plants for estimates of what it would take ...

Construction on the $16 billion Gateway tunnel project that aims to build a new set of train tunnels under the Hudson River shut down earlier this month after the Trump administration froze federal funding. More than a thousand workers were forced to walk off the job. A federal judge ordered the money released and crews are preparing to restart the work, but the case is still moving through the federal court system. WNYC transportation reporter Stephen Nessen and editor Clayton Guse explain how the project became a political flashpoint, what the pause revealed about federal funding and what it means for the commuters who rely on the aging tunnels every day.

Eleanor Thompson, 79, the first Black member elected to the Beacon City Council, died Jan. 17. She was born April 23, 1946, the daughter of Rosalee Thompson, who in 1962 moved from Charleston, South Carolina, to New York City to provide opportunities for her daughters, Eleanor and Vera. Rosalee died in 2019. Eleanor earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Lehman College and, in 2000, a master's degree in education from Columbia University. She was a schoolteacher in New York City before moving to Beacon. After selling real estate for 18 years, she retired to Texas in 2010. Eleanor was elected as a Democrat in November 2001 to represent Ward 2, when she was 55, defeating Don Gallo, the Republican incumbent, 391-321. It was standing-room-only at her swearing-in, and the other officials sworn in that day, including Member-At-Large (and current mayor) Lee Kyriacou, all used the Thompson family bible. Eleanor was re-elected in 2003, then elected to an at-large seat in 2005 and 2007. She also ran for the state Assembly in 2006 but lost to incumbent Thomas Kirwan. In 2007, as a board member at the Howland Cultural Center, Eleanor envisioned a program that would connect communities through music. "When it comes to cultural diversity, we're all students," she said. Her advocacy led to the creation of the Gospel Cafe, according to HCC. Eleanor began painting, drawing and taking photographs at age 9. In an interview with the Poughkeepsie Journal in 2000, she recalled visiting her aunt and cousin in Newburgh and painting pictures of the Hudson River, of men and boys fishing on the banks and of the ferry. (She described herself as "a water person.") She said she had recently thrown herself into sculpture after taking a class at Columbia. "It was the best thing that happened to me," she said. She focused on female figures. "My whole thing is I want to give my sisters out there some recognition — the brown ones, the black ones, the white ones, the yellow ones — we are fantastic." With the support of longtime HCC director Florence Northcutt, Eleanor expanded the focus of art exhibits to include more women and artists of color. She contributed to shows such as Women Artists of the Hudson Valley in 2000 and A Celebration of Women of Color in the Arts in 2006. In 2019, she returned to Beacon with her grandson, Bobby, for The 25th Anniversary of African-American Artists in the Hudson Valley. In addition to her civic service, Eleanor co-founded the Young Artists' Mentoring Project; served as program director at the Martin Luther King Community Center; established a curriculum for the Partnership with Schools and Businesses; and was a dedicated member of the Beacon Light Tabernacle Seventh-day Adventist Church. Among her awards: the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs' Community Award (2004), the Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Award (2005), the Shirley Chisholm Legacy Award (2005) and the inaugural Beacon Community Award presented by Beacon City Concerned Citizens. A memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday (March 1) at Beacon Light Tabernacle, 1568 Route 9D, in Wappingers Falls. Memorial donations may be made to the Howland Cultural Center (dub.sh/thompson-hcc).

Program will fund filters for PFAS contamination Property owners in Dutchess and Putnam counties will soon be able to be reimbursed for testing their wells and installing filters if they exceed limits for a family of chemicals linked to cancer and other health problems. Both counties have been selected for a state pilot program to address private wells contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Known as "forever chemicals" because of their persistence in the environment and the human body, PFAS have been used for decades in nonstick cookware, water-repellent clothing and other consumer products, as well as firefighting foams. Researchers have linked them to various health problems, including cancer, low birthweights and high cholesterol. Health concerns have led officials to close contaminated water sources serving the City of Newburgh and other municipalities, and supply filters to well owners in Dutchess and Putnam, including Mahopac and Putnam Valley. According to a groundwater study completed nearly 20 years ago, half of Philipstown's 9,400 residents at the time relied on well water. While Dutchess has yet to finalize details, Rian Rodriguez, Putnam's public health director, told the Legislature's Health Committee on Feb. 11 that the state chose for the pilot six counties "at higher risk" of PFAS contamination. "The goal is to reduce exposure to PFAS from private wells in communities more likely to be impacted, and assess the feasibility for a more comprehensive, statewide program," he said. Homeowners and business owners in Philipstown and other parts of Putnam should be able to begin applying for the county's $1.5 million allocation by June, said Brian Stevens, an associate public health sanitarian with the Health Department. If testing, which can cost hundreds of dollars, confirms levels exceeding the state guideline of 10 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS (the two most common versions of the chemicals), homes and businesses can be reimbursed up to $5,000 for installing "point-of-entry" filtration systems on their main water lines. The state will also subsidize up to $1,000 for "point-of-use" filters installed on faucets or other outlets where water is dispensed, up to $10,000 to connect a property to a public water system and up to $1,500 for ongoing testing and maintenance. New York and the federal Environmental Protection Agency regulate limits on PFAS in public drinking water supplies, such as the reservoirs that serve residents of Beacon and Cold Spring. But the estimated 1 million homes and businesses in New York state that rely on wells must test on their own unless they are part of a larger investigation tied to a verified source of major pollution. Dozens of properties near the Mahopac Business District received point-of-entry filters from the state after testing showed more than 100 private wells in the area had PFAS levels above state limits. The state began testing after discovering chemicals in monitoring wells installed during the district's cleanup of volatile organic compounds and other toxic substances linked to the use of dry-cleaning chemicals. New York has also allocated funds to the Town of Kent, the Birch Hill Acres and Starr Ridge Manor communities in Brewster, and Floradan Estates in Putnam Valley to address PFAS contamination through filtration systems. One such system is filtering water used by students and staff at Putnam Valley Elementary School, whose well once showed levels of 38.3 parts per trillion for PFOS and 23.3 ppt for PFOA. The district blames the problem on the Putnam Valley Fire Department's use of PFAS foams at its firehouses. State funding is also being used by the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority to connect two water systems with PFAS-tainted wells to Hyde Park, which draws water from the Hudson River. The federal government estimates that as many as 50 percent of U.S. households have some level of PFAS in their water — whether from a wel...

Residents seek update to town policy in response to ICE Some residents have asked the Town Board to update a 2017 policy that limits Philipstown's cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The board approved the policy by a 3-2 vote during President Donald Trump's first administration. Two current members of the board, Supervisor John Van Tassel and Robert Flaherty, accounted for the "no" votes. The resolution ensures "equal protection" for all residents, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and/or immigration status, and forbids town employees, unless required by state or federal law, from assisting in investigations of immigration or citizenship status or participating in arrests or detentions by federal immigration officers. Employees are also prohibited from requesting, maintaining or disclosing details of immigration status. At a Town Board meeting on Feb. 5, Board Member Judy Farrell proposed amending the policy to specify that employees cannot "voluntarily disclose" identifying information about a resident without a judicial warrant or court order, and that Philipstown would notify anyone whose information is disclosed. Another amendment would prohibit immigration officers from entering "non-public court spaces" or obtaining court calendars and records without a judicial warrant or court order. Farrell said the new language was designed to protect personal data, not immigration status, which the town does not collect. "It's about requiring judicial process, which residents are entitled to under the Constitution, and to make sure our town staff aren't sharing residents' information," she said. In January 2025, the state attorney general, Letitia James, issued guidance that noted federal law does not require a local government to communicate with immigration authorities, but that a federal statute says municipalities cannot prevent employees "from sending to, or receiving from" them information regarding someone's citizenship or immigration status. Nothing prevents governments from withholding other information, said James. Van Tassel said he opposed the suggested changes. Without a police department and without jurisdiction over Philipstown's court, the measure "is not the town's responsibility" and "jeopardizes the stability and rights" of the town and its employees, he said. "We have to follow the law; we can't follow sentiment or symbolism," said Van Tassel. He noted the 2017 policy has never had to be enforced. One resident who spoke at the meeting, Dan Nobel, said: "What you're saying is, 'I can't foresee an issue where it's going to come up.' Great. You never have to deal with it," he said. "My point is, you don't know what's going to come up. These guys are nuts." Water district levy Philipstown is facing criticism from residents of the Garrison Landing Water District after it imposed a $2,500 levy on each of 20 parcels. At the Town Board's Feb. 5 meeting, property owners questioned whether they had received proper notice about the levy and if it was applied fairly. The town is collecting the annual tax to repay $500,000 it borrowed to cover district-related expenses. Those expenses included buying water when the district's well failed, fixing leaks and drilling and connecting a new well. The town plans to install water meters, which were last used there in the early 2000s, said Van Tassel. Of the six parcels owned by Garrison Station Plaza, three do not have water service, and one is "mostly submerged" in the Hudson River, said Del Karlen, the organization's president. "It's time to go back to the drawing board — do it right, do it fairly," he said. A state audit released in May 2025 calculated that Philipstown spent $2.4 million between 2018 and 2023 on the water district, shrinking the town's general-fund balance from $1 million to $53,137. Annual expenses for the district rose from $85,000 to $975,000 during the same period. Philipstown also discovered that it had mist...

Breakneck Ridge to Cold Spring delayed at least two years Don't expect the Fjord Trail to reach Cold Spring anytime soon. In addition to announcing a $450,000 grant to the village and Philipstown for the building of sidewalks on Fair Street, Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail Inc. said on Monday (Feb. 9) that it will "prioritize" the northern section of the trail from Breakneck Ridge to Long Dock Park in Beacon. The state's recently released environmental impact statement included a timeline stating that construction on the northern and southern sections (Breakneck to Cold Spring) would begin this year. But HHFT Executive Director Amy Kacala and President Peter Mullan said on Tuesday that construction will begin on the northern section this year, and work on the southern portion will be pushed back at least two years. They said a major factor in the delay is that HHFT and the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will be gathering more data on the stretch of the Hudson River where an elevated boardwalk would be built. Despite overall improvements in the river's health since the 1970s, many fish species have been declining. The DEC and the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are also in the midst of a yearslong project to determine the extent of PCB contamination in the lower Hudson River caused by industrial dumping by General Electric. In its public comment on the impact statement, the environmental group Riverkeeper raised concerns that the endangered shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon species would be harmed by construction in the stretch of river that runs through the Highlands. "We're committed to being sensitive to the ecology of the river," said Mullan. "We want to use this time to make sure that we are developing the design as sensitively as possible and look for ways to repair the ecology of the shallow water river habitat, because we're seeing the ecosystem function of that habitat actually going down." Kacala said that the data collection will take at least two years. "We want to do this right, and sometimes that takes time," she said. In the meantime, HHFT will push forward with the northern section, much to the delight of Beacon Mayor Lee Kyriacou, who has long advocated for the project. "I'm very excited about this, and I think that most people in Beacon are, too," he said on Tuesday. Kacala said that construction along the northern part of the trail would begin on state-owned land. "There are still some conversations we need to have with private landowners," she said. The first phase will include the Wade's Hill lot and trail, followed by a trail north of the Breakneck Connector to an overlook of Bannerman's Island. Many residents who live near Breakneck have had problems with hikers trespassing in their yards to get a better view of the ruined castle in the river. "We're hoping to help them out by alleviating that pressure and putting that part forward first," said Kacala. "Then people have a safe and predictable way where they know they can get to that view." Beacon Rail Trail Update While the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is being constructed, Mayor Lee Kyriacou said Beacon will be pushing forward with the segment of a larger trail that would connect the Metro-North station to Hopewell Junction along an abandoned rail line. "The pricing for the whole line is fairly expensive, but the Beacon section is fairly doable and doable quickly," he said on Tuesday (Feb. 9), referring to the section that would begin at the train station and stop at the city line near Route 52. "We're hoping to get bids done this year and construction next year." The Beacon trail, which will be paved and mostly flat, will give residents who commute a safe way to reach the train station without a car, said Kyriacou, noting that the city plans on installing more bike lockers. The trail would cross the Fjord Trail near Dennings Point. "This is going to be transformational to Beacon's quality of life," said Kyriacou. "It...

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine, First, Mark Dunlea speaks with Jess Bennett of Friends of the Mahicantuck about the organization's victory in a 6-year fight to protect a 9-acre parcel of forested land on the shores of the Hudson River. Then, Willie Terry speaks with Arthur Butler, Executive Director of the Schenectady County Human Rights Commission, about what Martin Luther King Day Means to him. Later on, on the Triple E's, H Bosh Jr speaks with Analusette Shaello, founder of DNA BodyWorx. After that, Milexy Campos brings us coverage of the Time to Tea Around the World event hosted by U Albany's Cultural Connections. Finally, we hear part 2 of Marsha Lazarus' 2-part conversation with Holocaust survivor Regina Betts about how she, her mother, and sister escaped Europe during WWII.

The Friends of the Mahicantuck are declaring victory after a six-year fight to stop development of nine acres of forest in Lansingburgh along the Hudson River after the Hudson Taconic Lands announced an agreement to purchase the property from the owner and turn it into a nature preserve. Not only does the property have unique ecological value but it has more than 7,000 years of use by indigenous groups such as the Mohican Indians. Jess Bennett discusses the successful struggle with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

England’s Henry Hudson was a sea explorer and navigator during the early 17th century, best known for his explorations of present-day Canada and parts of the northeastern United States. In 1609, an English adventurer hired by the Dutch government led an expedition to find a path to Asia through North America. His expedition led to the European discovery of the Hudson River and the establishment of New Amsterdam, a colonial settlement that later became New York City. In 1610, he sailed again, but this time flying the British flag.

The Livingston Avenue Bridge has been carrying trains across the Hudson River since the Civil War era. Now, more than 150 years later, it's being replaced to meet the needs of modern rail travel while also expanding pedestrian access with a design that respects its historic roots. On this episode of the DOT POD, Josh and Anya welcome in Jeff Moryl, Director of DOT's Project Management Office, and Sue Torelli, Director of DOT's Rail Projects Group, to talk about the bridge's history, why it matters so much, and what it take to replace a critical rail crossing without stopping the trains and passengers that rely on it every day.

In this third check-in with Delirious WEST 2026 athlete Craig Jeffrey, we dive deep into what long-term ultra preparation really looks like – not just the kilometres, but the thinking behind them. Craig shares stories from icy Christmas runs along the Hudson River (including borrowed shoes and a reminder to always carry your runners on flights), back-to-back 50km days on the Yarra, and why those tired-leg weekends actually build confidence rather than break it. We talk about block-style training, mixing intervals and tempo with long efforts, and why repeating huge long runs every weekend doesn't work for everyone. We also unpack poles strategy, pack setup for uncrewed runners, HRV trends after big races, and the strange mental states that can show up deep into a 200-miler – including Craig's unforgettable four-hour memory gap from last year's Delirious. As always, it's an honest, thoughtful conversation about training smarter, adapting with age, and embracing the adventure of Delirious WEST – uncertainty and all. In this episode we cover: • Running through winter in New York and training through travel • Achilles niggles, shoe choices, and why carrying your runners matters • Back-to-back long runs and confidence on tired legs • Block training vs weekly long runs • Tempo, intervals, and staying efficient over long distances • Poles strategy and arm fatigue • HRV, recovery, and what Delirious does to the body • Sleep deprivation, hallucinations, and altered brain states • Why Delirious is as much mental as it is physical

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.wethefifth.comIntroducing The Revolutionaries, a new Fifth Column miniseries for the SemiquincentennialExactly 250 years ago yesterday, George Washington's Continental Army attempted to drive the redcoats out of Canada, thereby protecting the rebels' northern flank, by launching a two-pronged assault on Quebec.It was a disaster.There was snow and ice everywhere (who knew that Canada might be cold on New Year's Eve?), Major General Richard Montgomery was shot and killed, second in command Benedict Arnold (yeah, that one) was injured, 30-50 more Americans died, around 400 were taken prisoner; just a total fiasco. The Hudson River, valley, and related north-south waterworks all the way up to Montreal would, instead of staying firmly in Yankee control, prove to be a heavily contested corridor until literally the last day of the Revolutionary War.All of which to say is, EVERY day is a Semiquincentennial day in the year of our Lord 2026, and I am absolutely here for learning and sharing weird & wonderful things about our 250th.To that end, I'm delighted to introduce a new miniseries-within-the-pod, called The Revolutionaries, in which I'll be yakking with historians, podcasters, and other oddballs to tell us some crazy, misunderstood, and lesser-known stories about our awesome if not exactly crystal-pure revolutionary past. The idea is not only to learn new (and fun!) history, but also pick away a bit at the historiography – why some important characters and stories get forgotten; and how even the hagiographic celebrations of various Founders flatten the far more captivating and complicating detail.What better historian to kick us off than none other than Charles C. Mann, author of the groundbreaking books 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus, and 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created? Mann walks us through a fascinating revolutionary precursor: The Pueblo Revolt of 1680, in which early Americans, through coordinated violence, shook off the misrule of European imperialists.Special shout-out to Arch Stanton for the fab animated intro, and Fleetwood Hack auteur Eli Lake for the theme song. Enjoy!* Woulda been awkward if Charles had played for the Redskins* How science changes history* Man vs. the Amazon* Massive urbanism under the canopy* The myth of pristine wilderness* “we're like beavers”* Sometimes called “the first American Revolution”* “huge impact in the history of the United States as a whole, because it's the reason we have California”* “Pueblo” = catch-all; they spoke different languages* “Jeffersonian, independent villages…very democratic”* “to become a member of the council, they sit you in a chair in the center of the village, and everybody makes fun of you and pelts you with garbage”* Chaco Canyon abandonment = No Kings* “very leery of centralized authority, so much so that the Spaniards find them hard to deal with, because they don't have like a governor or a king, and they're constantly complaining.”* Spaniards didn't even call themselves Spaniards, BTW* Silver and gold, because small cargo-holds* “Spain becomes fantastically wealthy. They spend it all on wars and Dutch bankers”* Whoops, no silver and gold in New Mexico* Juan de Oñate = Juan de jerk* “The Franciscans are obliged to convert people by enslaving them to build churches so that they can be converted in the churches….And weirdly, the Pueblo don't like it.”* Spaniards: much bigger New World bastards than the English* “they got off on the wrong foot”? Too soon, Charles* Don't mess with Po'pay* The knotted-rope code* A simultaneous revolt against 32 missions!* 2 days, 400 dead Spaniards* How Po'pay was NOT like Washington* 12 years a non-Spaniard* Autonomy even after the Reconquista* Thank the Pueblo that Spain never found gold and silver in Cali & Nevada* Cool history happens when tribes produce archaeologists* The West is the best* American ethnic cleansing* The Wizard and the Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Dueling Visions to Shape Tomorrow's World, by Charles C. Mann* Revolution Song: A Story of American Freedom, by Russell Shorto* Cadillac Desert: The American West and its Disappearing Water, by Marc Reisner* Rivers of Empire: Water, Aridity, and the Growth of the American West, by Donald WorsterIntro sequence by the one and only Arch Stanton!Outro music (audio podcast only) by the great Eli Lake!

He stood at the altar as a man of God and lived in secret as a killer.In the early 1900s, Hans Schmidt became the only Catholic priest ever executed in the United States. Sworn to celibacy and spiritual authority, Schmidt instead lived a double life that ended in ritual murder. After illegally marrying a young immigrant woman and impregnating her, he brutally murdered and dismembered her when the truth threatened to surface.But Anna Aumuller's death was only the beginning.As investigators followed the evidence from the Hudson River to Manhattan, and back across the Atlantic to Germany, they uncovered a disturbing pattern of violence, fraud, and institutional silence. Counterfeit money, insurance murder plots, and links to other unsolved deaths suggested that Schmidt's final crime may not have been his first.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, host Brittany Ransom examines the psychology of Hans Schmidt, the warning signs ignored by those in power, and how authority and belief can be weaponized when accountability is avoided.Because no matter how carefully someone hides behind faith, power, or position, the truth always leaves a trail.Follow & continue the conversation:

Dave Sanderson is a nationally recognized leadership speaker, accomplished author, and the last passenger of US Airways Flight 1549, the Miracle on the Hudson. On January 15, 2009, Dave survived what should have been a tragedy, emerging from the icy Hudson River alive and forever changed. In the years since, he has dedicated his life to sharing lessons on leadership, faith, preparation, and purpose. Today, Dave shares what it means to face fear head-on, how the decisions we make in uncertain moments define who we become, and why the meaning we attach to adversity shapes the rest of our lives. From the deafening silence after the engines failed, to the prayer he whispered as the plane descended, to the choice to turn back and help others instead of racing to safety, Dave opens up about leadership under pressure, faith when the outcome is unknown, and the quiet courage required to do the right thing when it matters most. My friends, if you're walking through uncertainty, stress, or a moment that feels heavier than you expected, this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that preparation builds confidence, that every setback carries the seed of purpose, and that even your hardest moments can shape you into who you're meant to become.

In this season of giving, Irish Stew welcomes Pennsylvania-born lawyer-turned-nonprofit leader Sean Granahan, the president of The Floating Hospital, a 160-year-old New York charity with deep Irish roots that still cares for the city's poorest families. Founded in 1866 out of Trinity Church in the wake of the Civil War Draft Riots, it first served emancipated Black families and post–famine Irish immigrants crowded into lower Manhattan's notorious Five Points district.In the episode, Sean connects those early Irish arrivals, once left to die of tuberculosis considered “the natural death of the Irish,” to today's homeless families in New York's shelters, many fleeing violence, eviction, or aging out of foster care.Sean describes the organization's founding mission as a “three-legged stool” of meeting immediate needs, sharing health education, and delivering care, a model that still guides its work as New York city's largest provider of healthcare to families in homeless shelters and domestic violence safe houses.He recounts the organization's colorful maritime era, when their ships took kids and moms out for fresh-air harbor cruises while they received vaccines, essential services, and vital health education. Sean had to hit pause on that chapter after 9/11 when their vessel, the Lia, was retired to a dock well up the Hudson River. The Floating Hospital may not be floating now, but the work continues full speed ahead at its Long Island City base and satellite sites where 30,000 people are cared for annually, from pediatric and vaccination services to mental health and dental care. Sean insists that their clean, bright, dignified, welcoming clinics have as much an impact on patient outcomes as their healthcare services.That ethos comes alive in “Candy Cane Lane,” a holiday pop-up where homeless moms and kids experience the joy of holiday shopping as they choose free new coats, pajamas, toys, and hygiene items.With Mayo and Dublin roots, Sean tells how his high-flying corporate law career was rerouted when he volunteered to help the then struggling Floating Hospital, and how he and his staff navigate through shifting political headwinds and funding threats.And after 20 years at the helm, he still dreams big, yearning for the day The Floating Hospital floats again! “The ship is magical,” he says of his quest to refit the Lia and sail it again. “If you want to get 500 kids vaccinated, all you do is say, ‘We're going out on the ship on Friday,' and you'll have a thousand.”The episode closes with a “season of giving” invitation to make a holiday gift to The Floating Hospital or join their “Tugboat Society” of small monthly givers keeping homeless moms and kids afloat.But to really understand this uniquely Irish New York story, you'll want to hear Sean tell it himself on Irish Stew.LinksThe Floating HospitalWebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInThreadsBlueSkySean GranahanLinkedInIrish Stew LinksWebsiteInstagramLinkedInEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 37; Total Episode Count: 140

(Dec 15, 2025) Some military members and their families around Fort Drum are struggling with food insecurity and the lasting impacts of the government shutdown; as the year winds down, Gov. Kathy Hochul is working her way through bills that still need her signature; and we talk to the man who has recreated his canoe journey from the headwaters of the Hudson River in the Adirondacks to New York City, after being the first recorded person to do it 35 years ago.

I don't do well with injustice.  -Christine Anastos 10 years ago, environmental engineer Christine Anastos knew something was wrong with her health.  When tests came back normal, her care team suggested Christine see a psychiatrist.   Her answer?  “There's nothing wrong with my brain.  I know my body well.”    It wasn't long before Christine was diagnosed with breast cancer.  The suspected cause?   Environmental hazards.   The company Christine was working for as an environmental engineer had been dumping toxins into the Hudson River, and she became a whistleblower, reaching a settlement and using those funds to do good.   Today, she is the founder of a public benefit corporation called www.connect-and-thrive.com.  The mission?  To bridge the gap between conventional medicine and a holistic approach to healing.   Says Christine:  “true healing is not a destination.  It is a lifelong journey. Balancing mind, body, and spirit is the key to becoming healthy again.” Her website is a marketplace where women find evidence-based healing modalities and products not usually covered by insurance. Crowdfunding campaigns called “Kitty Funds” make powerful healing possible. Says Christine:  “Success is making a positive difference in the lives of people who are suffering. Kindness matters.” #healing #breastcancer #hope #candyoterry 

Most companies don't have a lead problem, they have a follow-up problem. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Jason Kramer, Founder & CEO at Cultivize, who breaks down how smart CRM strategy can transform “maybe someday” prospects into real revenue. Jason shares how his team helps manufacturing, roofing, finance, and home service businesses design, implement, and actually use CRM systems like HubSpot and Pipedrive so salespeople stop dropping the ball. With real-world case studies, including a roofing company that turned old quotes into seven-figure sales, Jason shows what's possible when technology, strategy, and authentic follow-up finally line up. Key Takeaways: → Why most growing businesses don't really know which marketing efforts are working, and how a properly set up CRM changes that. → The three simple criteria that define an ideal client for a CRM overhaul and why company size and sales team count matter. → The common problem shared by manufacturing, roofing, finance, and home service companies is that they send hundreds of proposals a year. → A behind-the-scenes case study of a roofing company that revived ignored quotes with a thoughtful, automated follow-up sequence. → How to design automated emails that feel genuine and personal, not robotic or canned, while still running on autopilot. Jason Kramer is the founder of Cultivize, a consulting firm that builds smart CRM strategies for business consultants and growth advisors. With over 20 years in marketing and business development, he helps experts transform their lead management systems into scalable growth engines. His process integrates CRM automation with email nurturing to create trackable, ROI-focused results for B2B and consulting clients. Jason's background includes work with global giants like Virgin Atlantic and Johnnie Walker, but today his focus is on supporting strategic advisors and fractional leaders who need visibility into what's working—and what's not—in their sales process. When he's not helping clients streamline their revenue systems, he's on the Hudson River with his family.

Show Notes Ted Caplow graduated with a degree in social science and has had a career in engineering and entrepreneurship. He describes his initial interest in science and his experience with physics at Harvard, which he found challenging. Ted shares his interest in humanities, particularly theater, and his involvement in various theater activities at Harvard. He discusses his consideration of theater conservatory programs and urban planning after graduation.  Joining the Peace Corps and Sailing across the Atlantic Ted recounts his application to the Peace Corps and the unexpected technical fields he was qualified for, which were teaching  English or beekeeping. This led him to reconsider his career path. He describes his sailing adventure across the Atlantic Ocean with his family and friends. They left shortly after graduation and the trip lasted six months. They stopped in the Azores for a couple of weeks, onto Gibraltar and Spain, through the Mediterranean. They stopped in Sardinia and stayed in Malta for a month; they sailed to Greece, the islands and Cyprus where they stopped and decided whether to continue around the world or go back to real life.  Returning to New York and the Theater Industry Ted returned and went to New York where he  joined the theater industry, working on production and starting his own theatrical company. Ted talks about his involvement in the theater industry, including producing interdisciplinary performances and meeting his first wife through a mutual friend. He describes his transition from theater to entrepreneurship. He started his own company and a non-profit theater company. This lasted a few years before Ted felt he should focus on a more technical field and he discusses the separation between creative pursuits and technical professions. Ultimately, he decided to pursue urban planning and his interest in sustainable development. A Shift to Engineering Ted shares his experience at Princeton and Columbia, where he pursued a PhD in engineering, despite initial doubts about his qualifications. He reflects on the challenges and rewards of his academic journey, including the intense environment at Princeton and the decision to pursue a master's degree instead of a PhD. He wrote his masters' thesis on solar power. Moving on from academia, Ted's next job was with a yacht designer. He then ran his friend's restaurant for two years before going back to school and earning his PhD. in engineering at Columbia in 2004. The Development of the Science Barge  Ted explains his idea to create a sustainable technology laboratory in the Bahamas, why he became interested in hydroponics, and why he didn't go to the Bahamas. He explains how the original idea evolved into the Science Barge in the Hudson River.  The Science Barge was a hydroponic greenhouse with solar panels, wind power, and aquaponics, designed to educate schoolchildren about sustainable technologies such as recycling the waste water. Ted discusses the challenges of moving the barge every two months and the decision to find a permanent home for it in Yonkers, and how this venture inspired the SunWork Center project. Sustainable Development Success Stories He highlights the success of the SunWork Center, a greenhouse on the rooftop of PS 333 in Manhattan, and the expansion of New York SunWorks to over 300 schools. Ted describes the development of Bright Farms, a commercial company that grew local produce in greenhouses on top of grocery stores. He shares the challenges and successes of Bright Farms, including partnerships with major retailers and the acquisition by Cox Enterprises. Ted reflects on the importance of sustainable design and the impact of his work on the food industry. He discusses the evolution of his design firm, Caplow Manzano, and its focus on creating durable, resilient homes that prioritize human health and environmental sustainability.  Technological Innovation in Building Ted talks about his personal journey and the diverse skills he has developed over the years. He reflects on the importance of technological innovation, the role of engineering in his work, and the difficulty of navigating and innovating around  all the components of building houses. Ted shares his plans for expanding his design firm's impact and the potential for scaling sustainable design solutions. Harvard Reflections He expresses gratitude for the opportunities and challenges that have shaped his career and looks forward to continuing his work in sustainable design and education. He mentions E.O. Wilson for Evolutionary Biology as an incredible talent and researcher in that field. He also mentions a poetry class with Seamus Heaney.

Vallie Collins was one of 155 passengers on U.S. Airways flight 1549, which made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in 2009. Everyone survived. In addition to our podcast, Collins recently spoke to ECS students and women in our community about what God has revealed to her about how to live following the event that brought her so close to death.

Ever wondered why your CRM system isn't delivering the results you expected? In this conversation with Jason Kramer, founder and CEO of Cultivize, Cam and Otis explore the often-overlooked human element of customer relationship management."Software does not solve any problem at all," Jason explains, cutting through the tech hype. "It's the people that are understanding how to use the software." This refreshing perspective sets the tone for a conversation that dives deep into the real challenges businesses face when trying to connect marketing efforts with sales results.From unpacking the difference between "first touch" and "last touch" attribution (a critical distinction when measuring marketing effectiveness) to explaining why most businesses struggle with lead nurturing, Jason offers practical insights drawn from his 20+ years of experience working with brands like Virgin Atlantic Airways and Johnnie Walker.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Jason's approach to CRM implementation. Rather than forcing businesses to change their processes to fit a system, he emphasizes understanding their current workflow first: "We're not trying to change the way you do things and make you do something different. We're just trying to improve what you're doing." Whether you're struggling with marketing attribution, sales-marketing alignment, or simply want to get more value from your CRM investment, this conversation offers a refreshingly human-centered approach to technology.More About Jason:Jason Kramer is the founder and CEO of Cultivize, a consulting firm specializing in lead nurturing strategies and “Done for you” custom CRM implementation.

In August we performed a live taping of the show from a theater perched on the edge of Manhattan, overlooking the Hudson River, overshadowed by the wide open night sky. Three stories about voids. One about a fish that screams into the night – and the mystery of its counterpart that doesn't. Another about a group of women who gazed at the night sky and taught us just how vast the universe is, and a third about a man who talk to aliens – and the people who tell him he's putting human civilization at risk by doing so. Finally, we turn back to Earth with the help of a reading from Samantha Harvey's hit novel Orbital (https://zpr.io/RNi4sY2JVKxK) performed by the artist, actor and podcast host Helga Davis (https://zpr.io/TKGuzzDFnVjN). What does it mean to stand on the edge of a void, and what happens when you scream into it, or choose not to?This episode was originally produced and developed in front of a live audience by Little Island, Producing Artistic Director Zack Winokur, Executive Director Laura Clement.
