Russell St. George, retired welder, plays with fire Any band would relish having a cheerleader like Shirley Maloney. At a recent show by Last Minute Soulmates at the Towne Crier in Beacon, she acted out the words, exhorted the crowd to sing along and pounded on tables during the final song, a funky cover of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)." A good portion of the rowdy crowd almost reached Maloney's level of enthusiasm. House staff created an impromptu dance floor by clearing tables near the stage as people swung their partners with elbows locked together during "Maggie's Farm" and danced in circles during a heavy version of "Hound Dog." At one point, two men started screaming, ostensibly out of joy. The group's founder, Russell St. George, moved to town in 1986 and is a dean of Beacon's music scene. He focuses on original songs but likes to mix in atypical versions of covers, including "Your Cheating Heart" as a deliberate shuffle. "I'm not good enough to play them like the record, but I do like to shake things up with the arrangement or approach," he says. "And I still write, including songs about what's going on, like one about gun violence called 'When's it Gonna Stop?' " His originals, some of which feature a reggae tinge, keep things simple and rely on hooky choruses that get people singing. At one point, almost the entire audience, including the waitstaff, belted out the words. Working as a welder in Peekskill, a job he held for 37 years, St. George heard that houses in Beacon could be had on the cheap. His first local band, Daarc Ages (an acronym of members' first names), released a couple of CDs and opened for Dee Snider, Uriah Heap and Blue Oyster Cult at The Chance in Poughkeepsie and other venues. "We'd make a CD and someone would quit, so we had to keep finding musicians and never really got off the ground," he says. "Besides, I was kind of shy." That's odd because he sports flowing hair, a goatee and moustache. His fashion sense includes hats, big round glasses and black, accented with scarves, a look that leans more toward the hippie camp than the blue-collar world. Over the years, he played every local venue and hosted a 17-year monthly jam at Joe's Irish Pub (now MoMo Valley) that he called St. George and Friends. "The whole time, I never missed a date," he says. "But I turned 60, COVID hit and the end arrived." Last Minute Soulmates started as an acoustic duo that grew into an electric project by 2011. Self-effacing, he credits band members for any success. Not shy about his left-leaning political views, he lost some followers over the years. He feels no compulsion to record his new tunes, in part because working in the studio is a drag compared to playing for a responsive audience. "Streams and other delivery systems don't get a lot of traction," he says. "If people want to hear my songs in their best light, come see me live." Last Minute Soulmates, with St. George (vocals, guitar), Carla Springer (vocals), Rik Mercaldi (guitar), Harry Lawrence (bass) and Mitch Florian (drums), will perform at 9 p.m. on May 23 at Gleason's, 23 S. Division St., in Peekskill.

Known for its bread, bakery relocates from Peekskill There's something in the air in Garrison - the smell of fresh bread. Signal Fire Bread opened a new, wood-fired bakery on Thursday (May 15) on Route 9D in Garrison just south of the post office. Its co-owners, Erin Detrick and Liz Rauch, are both experienced in the art of baking. Detrick baked professionally in New York City before establishing Signal Fire Bread in 2018. Rauch operated a home-based bakery before joining Detrick at the Sparrowbush Bakery in Hudson. They joined forces in 2019 and two years later moved the bakery to Peekskill. Rauch said their goal in Peekskill was to run a manufacturing plant for bread, but local zoning required them to include a retail component. "We were able to establish a strong business there, but the retail space was makeshift." Detrick said. "We didn't have great visibility, and we couldn't grow it." They were not actively looking for a new home but said they couldn't resist when the Garrison location became available. "The space came to us," Rauch said. "We considered it for a while, and it was like, 'Yes, this is what we imagined we'd like to be.'" They closed the Peekskill facility in late 2024 to focus on the move. Signal Fire's initial retail selection will include 12 to 15 types of bread, from baguettes, spelt, brioche and miche, to East Mountain levain, Ammerland rye and honey whole wheat. There will also be scones, muffins, cookies, biscuits, galettes and rolls. "We'll add pizzas, sandwiches and salads eventually and, hopefully, soups by the fall," Detrick said. "We want to add more breakfast and lunch items as we get our legs and train staff." Coffee + Beer in Ossining will supply coffee. Signal Fire will continue to have a booth on Saturdays at the Cold Spring Farmers' Market, where it has a loyal following. Rauch and Detrick are aware that the building, which began life as a gas station, has seen a succession of short-lived cafes and restaurants. "That was an early concern, but we're already well-known in this community and feeling so much support everywhere we go here," Detrick said. Grain and the flour derived from it are the raw materials that fuel a bakery. Signal Fire works with Farmer Ground Flour, which grows organic grain on five farms in the Finger Lakes region and grinds it into flour using pink granite millstones. That process mills together the grain's three elements - bran, germ and endosperm - to maximize flavor and nutrient value. "It can be sifted if you want a lighter wheat, or left whole," Detrick said. They sometimes source flour from New Jersey and Maine, as well. Rauch said 90 percent of what they bake uses natural wild yeast. "Sourdough is natural wild yeast; it's in the air," she said. They mix flour, water and yeast twice a day. "We've been maintaining that culture since we opened; it's a constant process of keeping it healthy and happy." The name Signal Fire is tied to the region's geography and history. Signal fires were lit on mountaintops in the Highlands as a means of communication, both during the Revolutionary War and probably earlier by Native Americans. "I loved that image of fires burning on the mountaintops," Detrick said. Both bakers admitted to a slight case of the jitters as opening day approached. "We've been prepping for a year," Detrick said. "It's a blend of excitement, nerves and curiosity about what's going to actually happen when people come through the door." Rauch added: "I'm feeling positive and optimistic. I'm also nervous because we've never run an operation like this. We're jumping off the diving board!" Signal Fire Bread, at 1135 Route 9D in Garrison, will be open today (May 16), Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beginning May 22, it will be open daily except Wednesday. See signalfirebread.com.

Is there anything better than beer and cheese? The two are intertwined as some of the best pairings out there and the two are very alike. Cheese and beer are both products of agriculture, the two are made very similarly with cheese undergoing a “ripening” phase similar to fermentation. Cheese has a variety of intensities and flavors, as does beer. Put them together and watch the magic unfold. But how do you pair these two? And how does making cheese work vs. say, brewing a batch of IPA? We'll talk to two experts about all things cheese and beer.

The scraped-up underbellies of skateboards add an organic texture to Betty Stafford's sculptures and hanging works. The scratches multiply when riders slide across curbs, railings and other urban obstacles while performing tricks. Stafford disfigures and reshapes the discarded boards to create abstract sculptures, wall hangings and mobiles that convey movement. They are carved with a handheld jigsaw and assembled with a drill. Beyond the wood decks, Stafford uses ball bearings and the metal trucks that connect the wheels. Like many of her low-lying sculptures, the components of "Catch of the Day" (a bird going after fish) fit together with slots and seem to lean into each other around a solid center of gravity. "Fiddlehead" features curlicues that resemble flowers. Cross-cutting the decks reveals from six to a dozen plies of laminated wood, some darker than others, though bright pinks, blues and greens peek through on occasion. Stafford often leaves the edges unfinished and incorporates the boards' natural bends. Her bane is removing grip tape, the sandpaper-like coating atop the deck. In the summer, after letting the boards bake in the sun for a few hours, she can peel it off with minimal effort. Otherwise, it can take hours, she says. Her fractured portraits, inspired by modern English painter Francis Bacon, include a work encased in a purple plastic milk crate and others that use the covers of wooden boxes that once shipped plumbing supplies. Thin, oxidized copper wires culled from boat windows sometimes add a minimalist touch. "Coffee Break" "Creature" Detail from "Ishod" "Ishod" "Kingsize Slim" Stafford has a BFA from the University of Texas, Austin and studied drawing and watercolor at the Art Students League in Manhattan before moving to Philipstown more than three decades ago. She worked in the fashion industry and still draws but began making art with skateboards following the death of her son Sam, an avid rider, in 2013 at age 19. Skateboards usually contain colorful designs beneath the deck, the part that gets scratched up. Riders will cover the damage with stickers and those images sometimes are reflected in Stafford's work, which caused a stir when a skateboard sculpture was accepted for a recent group show. The gallery asked her to remove any copyrighted images, so she pulled the piece. Stafford's Ishod and Mask series goes for an Oceanic look, including an image reminiscent of Easter Island. A profile of Bob Dylan during the 1960s conveys lightness because of circles and ellipses drilled into his faux Afro. No matter what medium she uses, Stafford says her art is "all over the place." Daily walks in the woods help inform her style. She gets the raw material from 2nd Nature Skatepark in Peekskill and Hacienda Skate Shop in Newburgh. "I've received some seriously broken boards that made me wonder if the skater was all right," she says. For more of Betty Stafford's work, see bettystafford.com.

As a proud mother, Dorothy was all ready to share very specific stories of when she thought June "should listen to her mother," including her junior high musical instrument selection, Orange Bowl Queen/King Orange Bowl Game in Miami, taking a job at the "nascent" CNN news network and not marrying her first husband. "Greetings From Paradise" began as a screen play and it turned into a gift from June to Coral Gables. It is a one act, 80 minute play written by June Thomson Morris, making it's debut at Miracle Theater on Miracle Mile.     The roaring 20's happened big time in Coral Gables and the Miami area. At that time, the Prohibition was not taken seriously at all. June says "the booze was pouring in with miles of unprotected coastlines between Bermuda and Cuba." 1925 the great Florida Land Boom -no more income tax nor inheritance tax so everyone from up north, who had money, flocked to the Miami area.In September of 1926, a hurricane leveled Miami and left a path  of destructionJune's Grandmother, Lucy, was there and she experienced the loss of all that had been created and developed because of this one horrific storm. Dorothy as a proud mother, explains that by writing this play, June has done something that no one else has ever done. It's the first time that anyone's written a historically accurate telling of the story of Miami.Coral Gables is also dedicating a park in Dorothy's honor. It's going to be the first theme park in Coral Gables and named "Dorothy." Dorothy was raised in Peekskill, New York  where in the 1800's, L. Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz, attended  the Peekskill Military Academy for two years. When L. Frank Baum was looking for his new school, a gentleman told him to "follow the yellow brink road" and you'll find the academy. Link for June Thomson, the 84th Orange Bowl Queen: https://historicimages.com/products/rsd95985?srsltid=AfmBOooAS8vHUWdxA6tHyn9uct7CFkqk3nTcg1pd35GjgpURIbfo3UjzSocial Media Links: June Thomson MorrisFB:JUNE THOMSON MORRISIG: JUNEMORRIS6LINKEDIN:JUNE THOMSON MORRISTHREADS:miamidgalumnaeSocial Media Links for Dorothy Thomsom:FB: Dorothy ThomsonIG: Birddot1934  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Retailer says online shopping finally too much After offering an eclectic mix of handcrafted home goods and gifts for 27 years, Archipelago at Home will close its doors in Cold Spring at the end of this month. Owner Tim Chevtaikin said he can't compete any longer with online shopping, notably Amazon. "Everyone shops online now," he said. The ever-increasing cost of doing business was also a factor. "Everything only goes up, never down," including rent, bank charges, credit card and terminal charges and stock. He said he also observed a change in shoppers. "Cold Spring used to be a shopping destination, with antique shops, boutiques and clothing stores," he said. "People came here because they knew there was merchandise you couldn't find everywhere else. Times change, things shift." In addition, "the winter months can be brutal," he said. "It's tough if you don't take advantage of the summer through the Christmas season." However, he has seen an uptick in foot traffic during the colder months. "People come here more during the winter than before," he said. "No one used to come here then." Chevtaikin named his business long before it existed. Before moving to Cold Spring, he worked as a makeup artist in New York City. "No matter where I lived there, including for years in Hell's Kitchen, I always made my home into something not normal, something creative," he said. Visiting friends noticed his talent and encouraged him to open a store. He compiled a list of 100 possibilities for names but always returned to Archipelago, adding At Home to distinguish it. He had a name but needed a location. New York City was too costly, so Chevtaikin researched up-and-coming Hudson Valley locations, including Beacon, Peekskill and Newburgh. "I picked Cold Spring because the train stops right here, and I didn't have a car!" he said. He opened in 1998 in what had formerly been a lingerie shop in the building now occupied by The Blue Olive and the Buster Levi Gallery. Two years later, Pizza and Stuff closed at 119 Main and Chevtaikin moved Archipelago to its current location. Chevtaikin said he enjoyed helping people decorate their homes. "I've seen people not pregnant, then pregnant, then have kids in college," he said. "Many have become friends." Some people who dropped into his shop on a day trip later moved to the village "because they want to have kids, they want a house, they want a dog." Chevtaikin has been heartened by the number of people who have dropped by to wish him well. "They say I'm a staple here, an icon on Main Street, and how much they're going to miss me, " he said. "But I tell them, life goes on and things change, times change." He does not see another retail store ahead. He plans to sell any remaining stock from his home after he locks up the shop for the last time. "I'm sorry to leave, but I'm a jack-of-all-trades, and when a door closes, another opens," he said. "I don't want to jinx anything, but I have several things in the works." Asked if he has any advice for other Main Street shopkeepers, Chevtaikin said: "There are a lot of successful shop owners here - I'd just say keep on doing what you're doing."

At last, New York City started its congestion pricing program on January 5. We knew that the local mainstream press would be out in force interviewing drivers and elevating the voices of those who were against the toll. We knew that because the New York press corps has a long history of putting the people who commute by car in New York above those who don't.  So we went out on congestion pricing's first weekday morning and talked to some people who weren't driving. Some of the people we talked with were random New Yorkers, but mostly we heard from advocates who knew we would be there and showed up in the freezing cold to talk about why they were so excited about the launch of this historic program. Thank you to all the people who spared some of their time on a cold morning to talk to us, especially Samir Lavingia, Charlie Todd, Chris Sanders, Alex Duncan, Rich Miller, Noel Hidalgo, Seth Solomonow, Kirby Kersels, Paul Krikler and Steve from Peekskill.

Israel's journey toward the Promised Land continues to meet external opposition. When a Canaanite king comes out against Israel, Israel turns to the LORD for His help, and He is faithful to His promise. However, when Israel's journey turns in a seemingly wrong direction due to Edom's lack of cooperation, the people are quick to grumble again. In response, the LORD sends fiery serpents as His judgment against Israel. This time, however, Israel turns to the LORD in true repentance and asks for Moses' intercession. The LORD graciously instructs Moses to make a bronze serpent and set it on a pole, so that those snake-bitten Israelites could look there in faith and live. Jesus says in John 3 that this event preaches His crucifixion. Jesus was lifted up on the cross so that all who look to Him in faith will have eternal life.  Rev. William Terjesen, pastor at the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Peekskill, NY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Numbers 21:1-9.  "Wilderness Wanderings” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Numbers. After the LORD delivers His people from slavery in Egypt, He leads them toward the Promised Land. Although the first generation of Israelites proves faithless, the LORD remains faithful to His people and brings a new generation of Israelites to the plains of Moab. This strengthens us to listen to God's promises today and stay faithful to Him as He guides us toward resurrection life.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

In Prison for Murder, He Was Innocent, Cleared by DNA: An Amazing Story of Resilience. He was cleared by DNA. His journey is one of unimaginable hardship and extraordinary resilience. Wrongfully imprisoned at the age of 16 for a crime he didn't commit, Jeffrey Deskovic spent 16 years behind bars for the brutal rape and murder of a high school classmate. In November 2006, his conviction was finally overturned, thanks to DNA evidence that not only proved his innocence but also identified the real perpetrator. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and most all social media platforms. The Crime That Shattered Lives On November 15, 1989, a 15-year-old girl from Peekskill, New York, vanished after school. Her body was discovered two days later, naked and brutally beaten, with clear signs of rape. The community was devastated, and the police were under intense pressure to find the perpetrator. Jeffrey Deskovic, a 16-year-old classmate of the victim, became the prime suspect due to his emotional response to her death. Despite his innocence, he states that the police coerced him into confessing to the crime after hours of intense interrogation. His story is available as a free podcast available on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and many other podcast platforms. A Confession Coerced Deskovic's confession was a result of relentless pressure from law enforcement. Over the course of several interrogations, he was subjected to a polygraph test in a small room, deprived of food, and isolated without legal representation. Exhausted and scared, Deskovic eventually broke down and confessed, despite knowing he was innocent. His alleged confession was the cornerstone of the prosecution's case, even though DNA evidence from the crime scene did not match his DNA. In Prison for Murder, He Was Innocent, An Amazing Story of Resilience. The Injustice of the Trial In January 1991, despite the DNA evidence that excluded him as the source of the semen found on the victim, Jeffrey Deskovic was convicted of first-degree rape and second-degree murder. The prosecution argued that the semen belonged to a consensual partner and that Deskovic killed the victim in a fit of jealousy. The jury believed the coerced confession over the scientific evidence, leading to his wrongful conviction. Exoneration Through DNA In 2006, the Innocence Project took on Deskovic's case, re-examining the DNA evidence with advanced technology. The results pointed to to Steven Cunningham, a convicted murderer already serving time for another crime. On September 20, 2006, Deskovic was released from prison, and his conviction was overturned. The nightmare was finally over, but the scars of his wrongful imprisonment would last a lifetime. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on  Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak and Medium and numerous other social media platforms. A Life Dedicated to Justice Since his exoneration, Jeffrey Deskovic has become a powerful advocate for the wrongfully convicted. He used $1.5 million of his compensation to establish The Deskovic Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to exonerating the innocent and preventing wrongful convictions. The Foundation has already exonerated five people and helped free eight others, making a significant impact in the fight for justice. In Prison for Murder, He Was Innocent, Cleared by DNA: An Amazing Story of Resilience. Deskovic's story has resonated across social media, with his journey being shared and discussed on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. His resilience and determination have inspired countless individuals to join the fight against wrongful convictions. He has also launched a podcast on Apple and Spotify, where he shares stories of others who have been wrongfully convicted, shedding light on the flaws in the criminal justice system. A New Chapter: From Prisoner to Attorney In an incredible turn of events, Jeffrey Deskovic has transformed his pain into purpose. He pursued higher education, earning a master's degree in criminal justice and later, a law degree from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. In 2020, he was admitted to the New York State Bar, allowing him to directly fight for those who have been wronged by the legal system. The entire interview with her is available as a free podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website or most major podcast platforms. Deskovic's efforts continue to bring about change, ensuring that others do not suffer the same fate he did. An Amazing Story of Resilience Jeffrey Deskovic's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. Despite the unimaginable injustice he endured, he has emerged as a force for good, dedicating his life to helping others. His journey from a wrongfully convicted teenager to a champion for justice is a powerful reminder of the importance of fighting for what is right, no matter the odds.

  In this episode, we sit down with a three-time Governor of New York, who narrates his extraordinary journey from being the Mayor of Peekskill to leading New York State through its most testing times. He reveals how his formative years in a small town shaped his leadership approach, emphasizing the necessity of a clear agenda and a competent team. The Governor also provides a gripping account of his leadership during the 9/11 attacks, highlighting the critical importance of unified coordination between city, state, and federal agencies. His decision to centralize all response teams in one room epitomizes the essence of unity and effective communication during crises. As the discussion progresses, we delve into the substantial impact of government policies on sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and healthcare. Our guest shares invaluable insights on how the private sector can align with governmental goals to drive progress. Reflecting on New York's contemporary challenges, he voices concerns over rising crime rates and high taxes, comparing these issues with previously successful policies. The conversation also touches on the current political climate and the media's role in shaping public perception. Despite the challenges, the Governor remains hopeful about achieving unity and overcoming obstacles. This episode is rich with historical insights and current affairs, all viewed through the lens of seasoned leadership. We explore the critical moments of the 9/11 attacks, as he recounts his decisive actions and the necessity for unified coordination between city, state, and federal governments. His decision to centralize all response teams in one room exemplifies the essence of unity and seamless communication during crises.

Despite these challenges, the Governor remains hopeful about achieving unity and overcoming obstacles. This episode is rich with historical insights and current affairs, seen through the lens of experienced leadership. Let's get right to our conversation with the Governor.   https://ptex.co/pandadoc https://www.georgepataki.com   That's my conversation with Former Governor Goerge Potaki, my take away from this one: While planning is crucial, leaders must also be prepared to pivot and respond effectively to unforeseen events.  Despite current challenges, maintaining a hopeful outlook can inspire resilience and motivate individuals to strive for positive change, even in difficult times. Effective communication involves being transparent and truthful, especially when things go wrong. Acknowledging mistakes and explaining how you plan to address them builds trust and credibility—essential qualities for any leader. A clear long-term vision is essential for sustained success. Leaders should not only focus on immediate goals but also consider how their decisions will impact the future. In any leadership role, knowing your top priorities and surrounding yourself with competent individuals can help you achieve your goals effectively.   00:05:29 - Governor recounts 9/11 emergency response, ignored security. 00:07:23 - Unified response across federal, state, city governments. 00:10:34 - Be open, honest, and transparent in communication. 00:15:24 - Federal workers inefficiency, Biden's lack of capability. 00:16:19 - Media protecting insiders, distorting news for agenda. 00:20:15 - Proud of government record, accomplishments and investments. 00:22:58 - Encourage optimism, unity, and involvement for progress.

The artist lives and works in Newburgh, NY. In a departure from her first exhibition with Miles McEnery Gallery in October 2021, Benson's compositions have turned to emphasize fine line work made with an airbrush. From afar, warped planes buzz with motion; when the viewer steps closer, densely-scribbled marks are revealed as the source rather than solid blocks of color. The paintings are rendered in color combinations from monochromatic palettes to power clashing hues, creating harmony in the unexpected.

Lyn Slater and I have met several times over the years, in New York - and she attended both my book launches with her partner Calvin. The former professor, writer, activist and 'reformed cultural influencer' is an impressive woman. A social worker for 45 years, she has a PhD in Social Welfare. While lecturing at university, 61-year-old Lyn started her fashion blog Accidental Icon and subsequently became a massive social media star. Now she's published her first book How To Be Old: Lessons in living boldly from the Accidental Icon. Part manifesto, part memoir. It's brilliant and - no longer accidental - Lyn has gone viral, again.Each chapter covers a year in her sixties, and throughout Lyn discusses her experience as an influencer and offers sage advice on remaining visible and rethinking the ageing process. In How To Be Old, Lyn explains how she eventually loses herself in the maelstrom of social media and marketing, forgets her values and ends up burnt out. Eventually rejecting the online world in order to regain control.The book ends with Lyn settled upstate in Peekskill with Calvin, close to her daughter and two grandchildren. After all the madness of the ' influencer years' and the drain of social media, she is enjoying a quieter life and writing from her garden shed (built by Calvin for her 70th birthday), everything feels calmer and more authentic. It definitely leaves you wanting more...Lyn is very wise and I loved chatting about age, style and reinvention. Hope you enjoy the episode.Producer and audio engineer: Nick at The Small Green Studio.Host: Alyson WalshGuest:  Lyn SlaterMusic: David SchweitzerArtwork: Ayumi TakahashiCoordinator: Helen Johnson

    His penchant for fine food, generously poured scotch and beautiful women; his ability to dominate a room, a stage or the screen; his taste for custom-made suits, monogrammed shirts and the ubiquitous red carnation; his appetite for the biggest, the best and just a dollar more than the other guy made, all became a part of the Gleason legend which began on Brooklyn's Herkimer Street in 1916. During the 50's and 60's, Gleason recorded 43 albums of music, wrote the theme songs for his 2 principle TV shows, The Honeymooners and The Jackie Gleason Show, built a round 'UFO' house in Peekskill, New York, starred in nine films, garnered an “Oscar” nomination for The Hustler, won a “Tony” for his Broadway performance as Uncle Sid in Take Me Along. Were that not enough, he hosted more than 30 plus television specials. (From 1962 to 1976) On June 24, 1987 Jackie passed away from colon cancer in his exclusive Inverrary home. “Throughout his professional life (Jackie) kept the heart of a child. A whimsicalness that cheered up a sad and tired world.” He is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in a lavish above-ground mausoleum that truly suits “The Great One.” Etched into the marble stairway leading to his sarcophagus reads the inscription, “And Away We Go.”  

After a three year break, we're getting back to The Backs of Life! (As requested by absolutely no one! You're welcome!) Back in 2021, we started reviewing all the "backdoor pilot" episodes of classic 80s sitcom The Facts of Life. Now as we finally revive this very important project, we've brought in a special guest reviewer: friend of the Flopcast, Sci-Fi Explosion mastermind, and certified Factologist Chris Cummins! Kevin, Kornflake, and Chris are looking at the 1988 backdoor pilot episode "Big Apple Blues," in which Natalie moves to New York City to share an apartment with a pack of weirdos, including a pre-21 Jump Street Richard Grieco and a pre-SNL David Spade! Can Natalie make her dreams come true in the big city? Is a margarine spokesperson named King Toast somehow involved? And will it all lead to a successful long-running spinoff series? (Answers: Yes, yes, and absolutely not.) Meanwhile back in Peekskill with our regular cast, Blair has garage sale fever, Pippa might be a robot, and we get a brief but delightful glimpse of Tootie's old roller skates. It's magnificent.

This episode delves into the Peekskill Affair of August and September 1949. This concert, held in Peekskill, New York, functioned as a fundraiser for the Civil Rights Congress, where Pete Seeger opened for the baritone-bass singer Paul Robeson. The show was rescheduled due to violence that erupted at the first attempted concert in late August, and while this second performance did happen, hundreds of Anti-Communist Veterans in Westchester County organized a violent and sorrowful attack on the concert attendees in a fascist Labor Day weekend bloodbath.

Rev. William Terjesen, pastor at the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Peekskill, NY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Hebrews 12:3-17. The author of Hebrews continues to fix the eyes of his congregation upon Jesus. The Lord's endurance in the face of hostility is the source of strength for Christians in the midst of their suffering. When Christians experience the trials of this life, they should not think that God has forsaken them. Instead, they should receive suffering as discipline from God as their heavenly Father. His discipline is always for our good, so that we would share His holiness and bear the fruit of righteousness. This strengthens us for the race that is set before us so that we would not fall into unrepentant sin, like Esau, but rather would strive to live in the holiness that the Lord gives. “The New Covenant in Christ” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Hebrews. The book of Hebrews is best understood as a sermon preached to those who have gathered for the Divine Service, exhorting them to continued faithfulness to Jesus. As the Son of God and our Brother, Jesus is both our exalted King and faithful High Priest who is truly present with us so that we might fix our eyes on Him.

Rev. William Terjesen, pastor at the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Peekskill, NY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 19. Psalm 19 starts with the way God reveals Himself in His creation. The heavens declare His glory as a constant testimony of His existence and His power. In particular, the presence of the sun in the sky that goes from one end of the heavens to the other gives evidence that God has created all things, and all things are subject to Him. That leads King David to narrow his focus even more, to the way God reveals Himself specifically in His Word. David teaches us to delight and find value in the Word of God both for what it is and for what it does. That leads David to his own confession; he asks that the Lord forgive him for the sins he does not know and that the Lord would keep him from sinning proudly. In such forgiveness, all Christians pray for their words and thoughts to be acceptable to God through Christ Jesus. Join Sharper Iron during the month of July to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hosted by Jessie SheehanProduced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine BakerEdited by Jenna SadhuRecorded at CityVox Studios“Brownies grab the spotlight,” says Auzerais Bellamy of Blondery, “but blondies are more versatile, flavorful, and interesting.” Auzerais has loved blondies since childhood, and spent 10 years testing and refining her original recipe—a pecan and salted caramel square that's still her bestseller. Before launching her blondie-centric business, Auzerais attended pastry schools in Paris and Rhode Island and worked at the prestigious Bouchon Bakery in California and New York. She eventually left the traditional pastry world, frustrated by the lack of diversity and career opportunities. Auzerais chats with host Jessie Sheehan about achieving the perfect blondie texture, her preference for melting butter versus creaming it, using your senses to test for doneness, and the latest on her bakery in Peekskill, New York. She also walks Jessie through her Honey-Date Pistachio Blondie recipe.

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”Beginning on New Year's Eve, 1982, there was a series of sightings throughout the Hudson River Valley north of New York City by hundreds of people willing to go on the record. They reported seeing boomerang-shaped craft the size of 1, 2, and 3 football fields, that moved slowly, hovered, and turned on an axis. This is according to the first comprehensive book on the sightings, Night Siege, which was co-authored by J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno, and Bob Pratt, and published in 1987. One of the standout incidents in the book, covered in Chapter Eleven titled, “Close Encounter at Indian Point,” is a sighting by what are said by the authors to be security guards (they are all un-named) over the nuclear power plant on Indian Point, on the shore of the Hudson River in Buchanan, NY, just south of Peekskill, NY. Read more →
