Roads crews, first responders log long hours after bruising storms After the late January snowstorm dumped up to 18 inches on parts of the Highlands, Highway and Water Department staff in Beacon worked 993 hours of overtime clearing snow from roads, sidewalks and parking lots. That's not 993 for the season — that's 993 hours of overtime for one storm. By the time the snow was (mostly) cleared, the city was on the hook for nearly $70,000 in overtime pay. Superintendent Michael Manzi and the 19-person highway crew worked around the clock, and the Water Department added 10 more bodies. "It's all hands on deck," Manzi said this week. "Whether it's 3 inches or 20 inches, we attack it the same way." No winter around here is normal, he said, and this one has been anything but. The second big storm of 2026 — this one designated a blizzard by meteorologists because of its high winds — brought 10 to 14 more inches from Sunday (Feb. 22) into Monday. Until recently, repeated surges of Arctic air had also prolonged one of the region's deepest freezes in decades. Although less intense than the January snowfall, cleanup for the Sunday-to-Monday storm will push Beacon over the $90,000 it budgets each year for storm-related overtime. The City Council will consider a budget amendment to move funding around. "It's not catastrophic" to absorb, said City Administrator Chris White said, "but we do all hope it will stop snowing at this point." Another issue has been where to put the snow. Beacon workers have established "glaciers" near the wastewater treatment plant on Dennings Avenue and at Memorial Park. More snow is stored at the highway garage on Camp Beacon Road. "We probably moved several hundred truckloads of snow that would still be on Main Street, parking lots or at the end of cul-de-sacs," White said. A few miles down Route 9D, clearing the roads in Philipstown "went pretty smoothly," said Adam Hotaling, the town highway superintendent. Some roads were still "a little narrow" because of snow piled along the sides, but "we're working to widen them," he said. Snow cleared by Philipstown's crews gets piled at the highway department yard on Fishkill Road or the former town landfill on Lane Gate Road. Dutchess and Putnam counties enacted travel bans during both heavy storms. Area first responders reported a handful of issues, none of them serious. "We increased staffing levels for each storm to ensure adequate coverage," said Beacon Fire Chief Tom Lucchesi. "There were no significant snow-related accidents, rescues or incidents requiring unusual or operations." Cold Spring Fire Co. Chief Matt Steltz said the volunteer agency was well prepared for the storm and he was surprised when no calls came in, storm-related or otherwise. As a precaution, CSFC outfitted its all-wheel drive utility vehicle with firefighting capabilities including a water cannon and self-contained breathing apparatus and stationed it at 2nd Lt. Aaron Leonard's home. Capt. Nicholas Falcone of the Philipstown Volunteer Ambulance Corps said attendants for both ambulances were on duty at the Cedar Steet station during the storm and responded to two calls. "Roads were very slippery even for our four-wheel drive vehicle," he said, adding that the Philipstown Highway Department was on call for the duration in case PVAC or the Garrison Volunteer Ambulance Corp needed assistance. Falcone said that at midnight on Tuesday, the PVAC assisted the North Highlands Fire Department in the rescue of a hiker who had been lost for eight hours in deep snow in the woods at Lake Surprise. The hiker was taken to a hospital to be treated for hypothermia. Officer-in-Charge Matt Jackson said the Cold Spring Police Department received few calls during the storm although one resident claimed that a snow removal company had damaged their property. Jackson also reported that on Tuesday morning a resident alerted an officer to an injured woodchuck lying in a snowbank near Lunn Terrace. The officer tra...

What if AI didn't just sound right — but could prove it? In this episode of the MAD Podcast, Matt Turck sits down with Carina Hong, a 24-year-old former math olympiad competitor and Rhodes Scholar, and the founder/CEO of Axiom Math, to unpack how AxiomProver earned a perfect 12/12 on the Putnam 2025 and why formal verification (via Lean) may be the missing layer for reliable reasoning. Carina argues we're entering a “math renaissance” where verified reasoning systems can tackle problems that currently take researchers months — and potentially push beyond math into verified code, hardware, and high-stakes software. They go inside the “generation + verification” loop, what it means to build AI that can be trusted, and what this approach could unlock on the road to superintelligent reasoning.(00:00) Intro(01:25) Why the World Needs an AI Mathematician(02:57) Scoring 12/12 on the World's Hardest Math Test (Putnam)(04:05) The First AI to Solve Open Research Conjectures(06:59) Does AI Solve Math in "Alien" Ways?

Snow and wind expected on Sunday and overnight The National Weather Service is predicting blizzard conditions in the Highlands on Sunday (Feb. 22) and overnight into Monday. A blizzard warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for Putnam County from 1 p.m. Sunday until 6 p.m. Monday and for Dutchess from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Monday. Forecasters expect winds of up to 45 mph to be accompanied by falling and/or blowing snow, resulting in reduced visibility. The NWS defines a blizzard as a storm that contains large amounts of snow or blowing snow, with winds in excess of 35 mph and visibility of less than a quarter-mile for at least three hours. Putnam is expected to receive 14 to 22 inches of snow, with rates reaching 2 inches per hour. Dutchess is expected to receive 10 to 20 inches. Temperatures will drop to feel as low as 14 degrees. Wind gusts could reach 45 mph, it said, and the wind and the weight of snow may bring down trees and power lines. Dutchess County has issued travel restrictions for all non-essential personnel starting at 9 p.m. Sunday at 9 p.m. through 4 p.m. Monday. County and Beacon city offices will open at 11 a.m. on Monday. Putnam County also restricted all non-essential travel from 9 p.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Monday. Metro-North will operate on an hourly service schedule on Monday, with weekend schedules in place on the branch lines. The Hudson Rail Link connecting bus will be suspended. On Saturday, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency in 20 counties, including Putnam and Dutchess. Beginning Sunday, 100 members of the New York National Guard with 25 vehicles will be staged across the lower Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island to assist first responders, and the State Emergency Operations Center activated Sunday morning. The Village of Cold Spring has restricted parking from 5 p.m. Sunday until 7 a.m. Tuesday. Alternative parking is available at the American Legion lot on Cedar Street (south end only; do not use the Ambulance Corps spaces); the Haldane ballfields lot on Route 9D (no permit is required during snow emergencies); the village lots on Kemble Avenue, The Boulevard and New Street; and the Fair Street municipal lot. For updates, call 845-747-7669. [Update: On Tuesday, temporary no parking signs will be placed throughout the village to allow crews to remove snow.] The Village of Nelsonville announced parking restrictions from noon Sunday through 4 p.m. Monday. Parking will be prohibited on village streets, including on Main Street/Route 301. Designated winter parking spots are available on Adams Avenue and the west side of the Secor Street lot. In Beacon, after the accumulation of 2 inches of snow, vehicles cannot be parked on public streets between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. Vehicles can be moved to any city public parking lot, but vehicles must be moved from the lots 24 hours after the snow stops falling. See our online calendar for cancelations. For updates, see our Storm Resource Page.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam concludes the month of February with a powerful and deeply convicting message titled “The Greatest Act of Love.” Centered on the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, this message reveals a profound biblical truth: the highest expression of love is not emotion, words, or sacrifice alone—but total surrender to God. Through the life of Abraham, listeners are invited to explore what it truly means to trust God when faith is tested. Abraham's willingness to place his promised son on the altar demonstrates that real love is proven not in comfort or blessing, but in obedience and surrender. Pastor Putnam challenges believers to consider the question: What are we unwilling to place in God's hands? “The Greatest Act of Love” is both an invitation and a challenge: to move beyond belief into complete trust, beyond emotion into obedience, and beyond control into the life-changing love found through surrender.

Beacon cites lack of resources to compel compliance Nearly six years after Beacon legalized short-term rentals, most Airbnb listings are not registered with the city. According to Inside Airbnb, a data collection project based in Newburgh, 133 units in Beacon were listed on the booking site in July 2025. But files obtained by The Current under the Freedom of Information Law show only 33 are registered with the city, as the law requires. STR laws typically allow municipalities to limit the number of housing units being rented to visitors and ensure that rentals have safety features such as smoke detectors and don't disrupt neighborhoods. The 2020 Beacon law allows homeowners and tenants to rent or sublet their homes or apartments for up to 30 days at a time, for a maximum of 100 days per year. Rental spaces must be the host's primary residence, and accessory dwelling units cannot be rented. According to Inside Airbnb, which pulls its data from information posted by the platform, the hosts of 14 Beacon listings live in New York City and six live out of state. The 133 listings are more than triple the number (40) on the site a decade ago, but nearly the same as in June 2020 (126), when the council amended the zoning code. City Administrator Chris White said this week that Beacon does not have the staff to adequately enforce its STR regulations. Since Building Inspector Bryan Murphy was hired in March, the department has prioritized health and safety issues, including overdue fire inspections and enforcing sidewalk snow removal. White said enforcement of STRs has been mostly in response to complaints about noise or parking. New York State authorized Beacon to collect a 2 percent occupancy tax on hotel stays and STR rentals as of Jan. 1, 2025. The Roundhouse, Mirbeau Inn & Spa and other hotels are expected to generate the bulk of the $200,000 in tax revenue in 2026, White said. Airbnb will begin collecting the Beacon tax on its platform starting March 1. The City Council is likely to revisit its STR regulations this year. During a discussion of agenda priorities on Tuesday (Feb. 17), Mayor Lee Kyriacou noted that enforcing limits on short-term rentals could have the quickest impact on the "acute" need for housing. "The fundamental issue is rental costs are really high because there's not enough supply," he said. "Restricting short-term rentals would force them into the long-term rental stock immediately." According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data, 41 percent of Beacon households are renter-occupied, and 185 units are listed as vacant, meaning they do not have long-term renters. "If some of those Airbnb units were returned to the market, it would make it easier to find housing," said Murray Cox, who founded the data project. A New York City law adopted in 2023 is stricter than Beacon's: It also requires hosts to register with the city before accepting rentals of 30 days or less. Property owners must reside (and remain) in the unit; bookings are limited to two guests; and booking platforms cannot process transactions for unregistered listings. The law had an immediate effect, with 50,000 listings falling off the services between 2019 and 2023. There are now about 5,000, Cox said. In 2024, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation authorizing counties to establish STR registries. Dutchess County officials have discussed creating a list; there has been no discussion in Putnam, a representative said. In Cold Spring, the Village Board enacted a law in 2021 to regulate STRs but began to review the measure three years later, saying the regulations were too cumbersome to enforce. Mayor Kathleen Foley says updating the STR code is a priority for 2026. The Philipstown Town Board this week discussed revisions to regulations it drafted in October that would require annual permits and inspections and ban parties. Critics say STRs need to be limited because they remove long-term housing from the market, drive up rents and negatively aff...

Programs advocate for long-term-care residents When Janice Munson walks through the entrance of a local nursing home, she has a list of names of the aged and disabled residents who have called for help. After those visits, she'll check in with other residents, sometimes asking if they have a physical therapy plan and if they are being taken for supervised walks to maintain their mobility. The answer is often no. "They'll say, 'I know there aren't enough staff, so I don't want to ask.' " Ensuring that residents obtain services is one of Munson's primary roles as a long-term care ombudsman, a position created by the Older Americans Act of 1965. The legislation requires states to provide independent advocates for residents in nursing homes, adult care homes and assisted living and rehabilitation facilities. Munson is among the eight volunteers who, along with five paid staff members, monitor 120 facilities in Region 4, which covers Putnam, Westchester and Rockland counties. Based in Cold Spring and led by Philipstown resident Judy Farrell, the region is one of 15 in the state. Region 5, based in Fishkill, covers Dutchess and five other counties. Nursing homes are the priority; the state wants them visited weekly and other facilities at least quarterly, said Farrell, who is also a member of the Philipstown Town Board. Although physical abuse draws headlines, complaints range from a staff member giving a resident the wrong medication or failing to follow therapy plans to dirty rooms, substandard food and a lack of recreation. Along with residents, the friends of residents and facility staff can report concerns, said Farrell. During the pandemic, when quarantines prevented families from visiting long-term care facilities, Farrell arranged for "compassionate care" visits. In one case, she helped a man unable to get his dying mother discharged to home hospice care. When she arrived home, he called Farrell, crying and grateful. "You can't replace that feeling," she said. "It's greatly satisfying." Arnold Tanner knows the feeling. A volunteer in Region 4, he visits a facility near his home in Sleepy Hollow twice a week. Carrying an iPad filled with notes, he meets first with people in the long-term-care units before introducing himself to newcomers and checking in at the rehab unit. He sometimes gets "a little better feel for the place" from newcomers and rehab patients, who are less reluctant to speak up, he said. Those in long-term care may fear retribution by staff, which is also a source of complaints. Statewide, the ombudsman program received 18,346 complaints during fiscal 2024, including 1,680 to the Cold Spring office. About a third were care-related, a broad category that includes accidents, falls, general requests for assistance and concerns about medications and physical therapy. Another 15 percent were complaints about staff failing to "honor and promote a resident's right or preferences" about healthcare, privacy, visitors and other areas. Many complaints related to food and admissions, including discharges and evictions. "Sometimes people face discharge for nonpayment when they might be eligible for Medicaid," Farrell explained. Complaints occasionally lead to legal action. In 2024, the state attorney general announced a $45 million settlement with Centers for Care, which owns four facilities, including one in White Plains, for "years of tragic and devastating mistreatment and neglect." According to the attorney general, "call bells regularly went unanswered, residents were forced to sit in their own urine and feces for hours, meals were not provided in a timely manner and personal belongings, including hearing aids, dentures and clothing, were often lost or stolen." After making On the Shoulders of Giants, a film about the orthopedics department at NYU Langone that was a Tribeca Film Festival Special Jury Award finalist in 2024, Cold Spring resident Peter Sanders turned to ombudsman programs. In March 2025, he began ...

Documentary about role-playing Putnam camp to screen at Howland Alex Simmons was deep in the jungles of the Amazon, shooting a documentary for National Geographic about black market gold mines, when his co-director, Carina Mia Wong, turned to him and asked, "What do you know about LARPing?" Simmons didn't know anything about LARPing, or Live Action Role Playing. But when Wong told him about a LARPing summer camp in the Hudson Valley called Wayfinder, in which adolescents and teens spend a week running around in the Putnam County woods, improvising elaborate fantasy tales and whacking each other with foam swords, he agreed they'd found the subject for their next film. "When you're a kid, everything gets delineated," Simmons said. "You're told that you can either be into sports or be a nerd. But when I was a kid, I liked sports and Dungeons & Dragons." After an epic campaign through the festival circuit resulting in a dragon's hoard worth of awards, including a special jury award at the 2024 SXSW Festival in honor of the film's "bravery and empathy," We Can Be Heroes comes to the Howland Cultural Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday (Feb. 26). After the screening, presented by the Beacon Film Society, Judson Packard, the Wayfinder camp director, will answer questions. "What matters is that the campers get to tell their own stories," Packard says in the film. "And for each one of them, they are the main character of that story." Packard found Wayfinder as a wayward and moody teenager 20 years ago. It is a place where neurodivergent, LGTBQ+ and/or teens who don't feel like they fit in can be themselves. As a camper in the film exclaims: "It's all just a bunch of nerds, straight up vibing." Wayfinder was happy to participate with the filmmakers. But logistics were more challenging. "You have 40 kids running through 500 acres of land," said Wong. "How do we film that?" The filmmakers spent a summer figuring out how to film at night in the woods, where to place cameras and when to do tick checks (constantly). They also looked for campers they could follow. "It was a gut feeling," said Wong. "Who has the potential for a transformation? Whose journey are we invested in? Where can things go in a week?" The documentary focuses on kids like Cloud, an 11-year-old, first-time camper from White Plains who puts in two hours of daily lightsaber practice. There's Dexter, a 15-year-old homeschooler from Manhattan who's written two-thirds of a fantasy trilogy but just wants to get his crush's phone number by the end of the week. And there's Abby, a 17-year-old, budding animator who is battling gastroparesis and spinal muscular atrophy and has been given a troubling long-term diagnosis. Nevertheless, arriving at camp, Abby tells the filmmakers, "I'm pumped as hell. … Am I allowed to curse?" The scene gets more deliriously chaotic when the campers begin the "adventure game," an improvised, multi-day storyline. Entitled "The Last Green," the scenario posits that the campers form six tribes of faeries facing a mysterious black void that is closing in around them. The story becomes a film within a film as the tribes figure out whether they can work together to save their world. What happens next is something completely unexpected. Before the game kicks off, some campers say they see the story as a metaphor for climate change. But there's another darkness that the kids have been fighting off: The film was shot in the summer of 2022, as the pandemic began to wane. For many campers, even though they're wearing full-body cardboard armor and giving themselves names like Shard Dorpington and Infernuis Nocturna, this is the most normal thing they've done in years. "During the filming, it hit us how impactful COVID has been on this generation," said Simmons. "They were telling us, 'I didn't get to have my senior prom,' or 'It was supposed to be the most important year of my life, and I missed it.' I still get emotional thinking about it." The Howland Cultural ...

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...

What happens when a thriving performing arts career collides with a rare autoimmune disease? In this episode, I talk with Theresa Hill-Putnam about resilience, myasthenia gravis, positive thinking, and building an unstoppable mindset.

Transcription Notes:

In this week's sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam delivers a powerful and deeply practical message titled “Love Takes Time.” In a culture built on speed, instant results, and quick gratification, Pastor Putnam challenges believers to embrace a biblical truth that runs counter to modern expectations: real love is not formed in a moment—it is developed through process. Drawing from Philippians 1:6, this message reminds us that salvation is the beginning of our journey, not the finished product. While God's love toward us is immediate and unconditional, our growth into Christlikeness requires shaping, refining, and time. Love is not microwaved; it is formed. “Love Takes Time” is a call to surrender our timelines to God and allow Him to complete the work He has begun. Whether you are a new believer or decades into your walk with Christ, this message will challenge you to stop resisting the formation and start embracing the refinement. God is not finished with you yet. You are still on the wheel. And if you remain faithful in the forming, He will complete what He started.

In this week's sermon, Bishop Putnam brings a heartfelt and Spirit-led message titled “The Greatest of These Is Love.” Building upon recent teachings on love, Bishop Putnam dives deeper into the divine nature of agape—the selfless, sacrificial love that defines God Himself. Using Scripture from Mark 12 and 1 Corinthians 13, this message reminds us that while faith and hope remain powerful pillars of the Christian life, the greatest of these is love. Not emotion. Not sentiment. Not romance. But the agape love of God—unearned, unconditional, and transformative. “The Greatest of These Is Love” is both a reminder and a call to action—an invitation to receive afresh the Spirit of God and to let His love shape every interaction, every response, and every relationship. If you've ever wondered what it truly means to reflect Christ, this message will encourage you, convict you, and inspire you to pursue the highest virtue heaven offers—the love of God.

Understanding Trauma Across the Lifespan with Dr. Frank Putnam Content Note: This episode includes discussion of trauma, child maltreatment, and dissociation; please listen at your own pace and care for your wellbeing while engaging. In this episode, Dr. Deb Lindh sits down with Dr. Frank Putnam, a renowned psychiatrist, researcher, and national leader in the study of trauma, child maltreatment, and its lifelong effects. With a career spanning decades of clinical work and groundbreaking research, Dr. Putnam has been instrumental in advancing the field of traumatic stress studies and mentoring generations of trauma scientists. Dr. Putnam's work began early in his career at the National Institute of Mental Health, where he first encountered the profound effects of child abuse on psychological and biological development. This experience shaped his lifelong focus on understanding trauma's impact from childhood into adulthood and highlighted the importance of early research to inform healing-informed practice. His pioneering research on dissociation and dissociative disorders helped transform the field from case-based observations into evidence-based science, including influential publications and the co-authorship of tools widely used in trauma research. Today, Dr. Putnam continues to research and advocate for trauma-informed approaches that acknowledge the complex ways early adversity shapes health outcomes across the lifespan. He is also recognized for his decades of mentorship and service, including the establishment of the Frank W. Putnam Trauma Research Scholars Program, which supports emerging trauma researchers whose work has great potential to contribute meaningfully to the field. In this conversation we explore: • What we currently understand about how trauma affects development from childhood through adulthood • How early research in child maltreatment and dissociation reshaped scientific thinking about trauma • The importance of rigorous trauma research and mentorship in broadening the field • What trauma professionals and survivors alike can take from decades of evidence-based work Whether you're new to the trauma conversation or deeply embedded in healing work, this episode offers clarity, context, and hope grounded in decades of research and human experience.

Welcome to Season 5!Dr. Frank W. Putnam shares the results from a 35 year long study, the Female Growth & Development Study, which he co-founded with the late Penelope K Trickett, PhD, on the effects of childhood maltreatment, particularly childhood sexual abuse.Frank W.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Putnam delivers a timely and deeply challenging message titled “Love vs. Love.” Speaking into a culture saturated with sentimental and self-centered ideas of love, Pastor Putnam draws a sharp and biblical contrast between the world's definition of love and the transforming, covenantal love of God. Using Valentine's Day as a cultural backdrop, this message exposes the emptiness of emotion-driven, convenience-based love and points listeners to the enduring power of Christlike love found in Scripture. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Putnam walks verse-by-verse through the defining attributes of true love—patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, perseverance, and truth—revealing how essential these qualities are to authentic Christian living. This teaching challenges believers to examine not just what they believe, but how they love. Listeners are reminded that spiritual gifts, knowledge, sacrifice, and even faith itself are meaningless without love flowing from God's heart. Biblical love, Pastor Putnam explains, is not self-seeking, easily offended, or record-keeping—but is rooted in commitment, grace, and surrender. It is a central truth: real love cannot be manufactured by human effort. It must be received from God and lived out through His Spirit. Whether addressing wounds from the past, struggles with anger, pride, or unforgiveness, this message offers hope, healing, and a call to allow God's love to reshape the heart. A call to reject counterfeit love and embrace the agape love of Christ that restores relationships, transforms lives, and reflects the gospel to the world.

By Layna Delgado - "For Quinton McMillian Jr., the journey to becoming a leader on the basketball court did not happen overnight. As a freshman and a sophomore, McMillian spent much of his time on the bench, learning from older players and waiting patiently for his opportunity. Now a junior, team captain and starter for Putnam Vocational High School, his rise is a story of patience, growth and a deep love for the game of basketball."

By Liam Shannon - "Sitting right across State Street from each other, the High School of Science and Technology and Putnam Vocational/Technical School got to show off its rivalry on the national stage during Thursday's Panini Hoophall Classic matchup in Blake Arena at Springfield College. Despite being down following the first quarter, the Cybercats' offense exploded in the second quarter and never looked back, as they held on to defeat the Beavers 63-43."

In this episode, Duane sits down with Dr. Frank Putnam, a pioneer in the study of childhood trauma with nearly 50 years of clinical and research experience. Dr. Putnam discusses his landmark 35-year longitudinal study—the Female Growth and Development Study—which tracked the biological and psychological impacts of sexual abuse on girls from childhood into adulthood. They explore the concept of "accelerated aging," the intergenerational transfer of trauma, and why early intervention is critical for breaking the cycle of violence.Key Discussion PointsThe Evolution of Trauma Diagnosis: Dr. Putnam recounts the early days of his career (the 1970s) when PTSD didn't exist in the DSM. Veterans and trauma survivors were often misdiagnosed with schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder before a language for trauma was developed.The "Old Before Their Time" Phenomenon: A core finding of Dr. Putnam's research is that extreme childhood adversity accelerates biological aging.Puberty: Abused girls in the study reached puberty approximately one year earlier than the control group.Epigenetics: DNA methylation studies show that traumatized individuals have a biological age that exceeds their chronological age.Immune System: Some young girls exhibited immune systems that appeared "older" than those of healthy adults.The Role of Cortisol: The stress hormone cortisol plays a dual role. While levels are high during the period of active trauma, they often crash later in life, leading to a "blunted" stress response that mediates many negative health outcomes.Intergenerational Trauma: * Dr. Putnam's research suggests a roughly 30% transfer rate of abuse across generations.This is not just behavioral; animal studies suggest that trauma-induced epigenetic changes can be passed down biologically.Resilience and Recovery: What differentiates survivors who thrive?Positive Relationships: High-quality relationships with older, supportive female role models were the strongest predictors of resilience for the girls in the study.IQ and Social Skills: Higher cognitive ability and personalities that attract social support also serve as protective factors.Treatment Success: Modern Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) has roughly a 70% success rate.Resources Book: Old Before Their Time: A Scientific Life Investigating How Maltreatment Harms Children and the Adults They Become by Frank W.

Warum kommen manche Menschen trotz schwerer Erfahrungen erstaunlich gut klar, während andere lange kämpfen? Liegt das an Charakter, an Willenskraft – oder einfach an Glück? Sind resiliente Menschen Superhelden? Oder steckt dahinter etwas viel Unspektakuläreres: ganz normale Magie? In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Trauma, über das berühmte „Fass im Kopf“ und darüber, warum Belastung allein erstaunlich wenig darüber aussagt, wie es Menschen später geht. Es geht um Sinn, um Beziehungen, um Gefühle – und um die Frage, was wirklich hilft, wenn das Leben schwer wird.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam delivers a clear, biblical, and deeply pastoral teaching on “Why I Tithe,” reframing generosity not as pressure or obligation, but as a discipleship issue rooted in the lordship of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Matthew 6 and the Sermon on the Mount, this message confronts the heart of the matter: where your treasure is, there your heart will be also . With honesty and clarity, Pastor Putnam walks listeners through Scripture to show that tithing is not about fundraising, guilt, or earning God's favor—it is about trust, surrender, and priority. From Jacob's vow at Bethel, to the law of Moses, to Jesus' own reaffirmation of tithing, this teaching reveals the tithe as a biblical principle that predates the Law and continues as a foundational starting point for faithful living. This sermon addresses common misconceptions head-on, explaining what tithing is not—a tip, a transaction, or a payment for blessings—and what it truly is: the returning of the first and best to God as an act of worship. Through practical illustrations and Scripture-based insight, Pastor Putnam challenges listeners to examine whether they are arranging their lives around God, or trying to fit God into what is left. At its core, this message declares that tithing is about lordship. It humbles us, breaks fear, builds faith, and realigns our hearts with the truth that God is our source—not our paycheck, possessions, or security. While salvation is by grace alone, this teaching makes clear that complete surrender includes every area of life, finances included. This message will challenge assumptions, strengthen faith, and invite listeners into greater freedom through obedience—not because God needs our money, but because He desires our hearts.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam launches a faith-stretching vision for 2026 with a clear and compelling mandate: Just Reach One—because one is worth it. Drawing from Luke 15 and other Gospel accounts, this message centers on the heart of Jesus for individuals, reminding us that crowds never distracted Him from the value of a single soul. With conviction and pastoral clarity, Pastor Putnam challenges the modern obsession with numbers, popularity, and platforms, emphasizing that Jesus was never impressed by crowds—He was moved by people. From the lost sheep in the wilderness, to the Samaritan woman at the well, to the demon-possessed man delivered after a stormy crossing, Scripture repeatedly reveals a Savior who stops, goes out of His way, and pays any cost to reach just one person. This episode calls the church beyond Sunday services and programs into lifestyle evangelism—a daily, personal obedience flowing out of a surrendered relationship with Jesus Christ. Evangelism, Pastor Putnam explains, is not a title, a microphone, or a method; its availability. While only God can save, heal, and transform, every believer has a responsibility to go, to love, and to reach. As heaven celebrates one repentant sinner, this message invites each listener to align their priorities with heaven's joy. Whether it's a neighbor, coworker, family member, or stranger, God is still asking His people to leave the 99 and pursue the one who matters deeply to Him. This sermon will stir your faith, challenge your comfort, and refocus your mission—because the world is reached one conversation, one prayer, and one act of obedience at a time. One is worth it.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam delivers a powerful, end-of-year challenge built around a simple but life-changing command: Keep on serving. Rooted in the heartbeat of Apostolic Pentecostal faith—serve and save—this message reminds us that while only Jesus can save, God has chosen to work through people who are willing to serve. With passion and clarity, Pastor Putnam celebrates what God has done through faithful service in the local church and the community, while also calling every believer to move beyond comfort and convenience. Drawing from Scripture, including Jesus' example of washing the disciples' feet and Paul's exhortation in Romans 12, he makes it clear: serving is not optional for Christians—it is the pathway God uses to reach the lost. From well-known biblical figures to unnamed servants working quietly in the background, this message highlights how God consistently uses ordinary people with willing hearts. Service isn't about spotlight or status; it's about availability, humility, and obedience. When the church embraces this calling, joy increases, unity deepens, and salvation follows. As we close out the year and look ahead to what God wants to do next, this episode will stir your heart to action. If you've ever wondered how God can use you, this message will answer that question with conviction and hope. We Serve, He Saves.

Brynn Putnam is the founder of innovative tech companies Mirror and Board. Before entering the tech space, she spent her first life as a professional ballerina. In between performing with big productions and studying at Harvard University, she taught fitness classes on the side to make ends meet. Her side hustle became her full-time one after college when she started her own fitness boutique in New York. Putnam's pivot into the fitness space would then lead her to tech with her invention of Mirror, a high-tech piece of equipment that could seamlessly bring personalized fitness classes directly into your home. When she launched Mirror in 2019, it was a huge hit—especially during the pandemic when folks were confined to their homes during lockdown. Her company saw so much success that she soon sold it to Lululemon in a deal valued at $500 million. Now, after establishing herself as a tech pioneer, Putnam is onto her next venture in the space—this time with Board, an innovative, first-of-its-kind product that blends the magic of video games with the feel of board games. It also just launched at TechCrunch Disrupt today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
