City clerk rescues 19th-century records from dump You never know what you're going to find at the dump. Just ask Amanda Caputo. Last fall, the Beacon city clerk discovered the handwritten articles of incorporation for the Village of Matteawan buried under decades of dirt, dust and who knows what else at the city's Transfer Station. Dated May 28, 1886, and recorded by Fishkill Town Clerk G.W. Bradshaw, the articles are in remarkably good condition. They signify the formation of Matteawan, a manufacturing hub of about 4,400 residents centered around Fishkill Creek. Matteawan was 1½ miles east of Fishkill Landing, the neighboring village with which it would merge in 1913 to create Beacon. A follow-up meeting was held on June 29, 1886, at Fishkill Town Hall, where town officials voted to approve Matteawan's secession. Records show that village leaders expected to spend $2,500 (about $86,500 today) on "ordinary expenses" in the first year. The articles were the most significant find inside seven hardbound books discovered by Caputo. The books, which also contain records from Fishkill Landing, were recovered from Beacon's incinerator building, a brick structure with an adjacent smokestack that's next to the wastewater treatment plant on Dennings Avenue. Once the destination for the city's wastewater sludge and trash, it has been — aside from a first-floor office — largely vacant for years. "No one expected anything useful to be in there," said Caputo. "Why would you keep valuable records at the dump for 30 years?" The best guess is that the books — along with an assortment of urban renewal and community development documents, property assessments and financial and court records — were stashed at the three-story building in the mid-1990s, when the current City Hall was under construction. Some of the documents were transported in filing cabinets. Loose materials, including the seven books, were taken upstairs, where scores of pigeons would later enter through broken windows and take roost. In 2024, city workers replaced the windows, and a private company helped clean out 30 years of bird waste. "Then we were like, 'There's all those records — I wonder what's in there?' " said City Administrator Chris White, who served on the City Council in 1996 and 1997. White said he recalled the building being "in really bad shape" even then. While the structure had been cleaned out, it wasn't spotless when Caputo got to it. The top layer of boxes and loose paper "was just covered in grime," she said. "Once you started moving stuff, the dust started flying. Thankfully, these books were covered by records that were much less remarkable." Although the covers and spines of the books have deteriorated, the inside pages are nearly all intact, still white with numbers printed in blue in the upper corners. Flipping through them, one gets a glimpse into the world 140 years ago. The Aug. 18, 1886, meeting of the Matteawan Board of Trustees was held at 7:15 p.m. in the office of a hat factory, the Matteawan Manufacturing Co. (now The Roundhouse). Its superintendent was Willard H. Mase, the village president, who would later that year be elected to the first of five terms in the state Assembly. In 1887, Mase financed a volunteer fire company that was named for him. One of the first orders of business on Aug. 18 was approving the minutes of the previous meeting. Another was the appointment of Sherwood Phillips as the village clerk. His salary was left "open-carried." In a list of village ordinances, the first prohibited "amusement, such as playing ball, shinny, the discharge of firearms, fireworks," or any other act "by which person or property is endangered." The second notes that the peace and quiet of the village shall not be disturbed on Sunday, under threat of a $10 penalty. The records reflect attention to detail, Caputo noted. A letter from February 1903 advised Miss Van Rensselaer that the Matteawan Board of Trustees had noticed the "flag walk" i...

This comprehensive deep dive into trust law covers trustee powers, duties, breaches, and remedies. It explores key concepts like fiduciary duties, self-dealing, investment prudence, and trust modification, providing a detailed framework for exam success.Most trustees kill their own power by ignoring one rule: the duty of loyalty. When Melissa considers buying art from her trust at a premium, she triggers a legal minefield — and the consequences are severe. Bust through the core trust law concepts as we dissect real-world scenarios, revealing the hidden rules governing trustee misconduct, from self-dealing to delegation pitfalls.In this episode, you'll discover:How the split between legal and equitable title creates unique fiduciary duties — and how to spot breach scenarios like unauthorized gifts or inflated sales.The unforgiving "no further inquiry" rule that makes self-dealing a strict liability offense, with limited exceptions like prior court approval or express authorization.How the duty of loyalty enforces strict prohibition against conflicts of interest — including indirect conflicts with family, affiliates, or even post-contract breaches.The modern evolution of the duty of prudence under the Uniform Prudent Investor Act, emphasizing diversification, risk management, and the importance of the decision-making process.The significance of the unitrust adjustment to balance interests of income and remainder beneficiaries, and how to handle conflicts arising from investments, sales, or insurance decisions.Common pitfalls in delegation: selecting, instructing, and monitoring agents properly to avoid personal liability for their misconduct.How courts use remedies like damages, surcharge, disgorgement, or even removing the trustee to enforce strict fiduciary standards.Crucial modification doctrines like the Claflin and Cy-pres doctrines, allowing courts to adapt or end trusts when circumstances change — but only under tight procedural rules.Why does this matter? Because trustees wield immense power over assets that aren't theirs, and the law demands absolute loyalty and prudence — or face harsh penalties. Ignoring these duties can lead to personal liability, loss of assets, or removal from fiduciary duty altogether. Whether you're facing hypothetical exam questions or real-world disputes, understanding these principles gives you the edge to spot breaches, assess damages, and recommend strategic remedies.This episode is perfect for law students, fiduciaries, or anyone involved in trust law. It equips you with a structured analytical framework, grounded in doctrinal depth and real cases, to approach any misconduct scenario with confidence. Prepare to master the highest standards of legal agency — because in trust law, the stakes are as high as the power trustees hold over others' wealth.Key TopicsFiduciary duties of loyalty, prudence, impartialitySelf-dealing and conflict of interest rulesModern portfolio theory and diversificationTrust modification, termination, and the Claflin DoctrineRemedies including disgorgement, constructive trust, removal of trusteestrust law, fiduciary duties, trustee breaches, self-dealing, investment prudence, trust modification, fiduciary remedies, trust law exam prep

Sycamore Township - Public Hearing, CIC & Trustees Meeting - March 3, 2026

Symmes Township - Trustees Meeting - March 3, 2026

In this episode Laura joins a host of (almost entirely female) guests, out on the road in London to talk about how cycle routes deliver - or not - for women's safety. In early 2025 Laura interviewed women on the London Cycling Campaign's Women's Freedom Ride, a mass ride, after dark, to highlight the safety concerns women face when cycling in London - and how some of the capital's routes just don't feel that safe at night.At the time the Women's Network had just launched a report that showed almost a quarter, 24%, of the city's cycle routes did not feel safe at night. This meant routes that were isolated, and in some cases poorly lit. The Network's previous research found that a third of women stop cycling in winter because of safety issues. It also revealed the shocking levels of harassment some women experience on the streets.Unfortunately some of the audio from that ride was unusable because of the challenges of cycling while recording - so undeterred, a year later Laura went out to gather more recordings and find out what has happened for women's safety in the last year. In January 2026, Laura went along to the opening of an almost-finished cycle lane and two junction redesigns at one of London's worst collision hotspots, at Lambeth Bridge. This was sadly the site of a fatal collision in which art designer Moira Gemmill, was killed while cycling in 2015, when a distracted lorry driver turned into her path.This episode Laura spoke to:Kate Bartlett, the mastermind behind the London Cycling Campaign's Women's Network's on-the-ground research around the social safety of London's cycle infrastructureZoe Garbett, Green London Assembly Member Kerena Fussell, London Cycling Campaign Women's Network Deborah from Leytonstone, LCC Women's NetworkNatalie Lyndsey, on the Board of Trustees of the London Cycling CampaignHelen Cansick, head of safe and healthy streets investment planning for Transport for LondonWill Norman, London's Walking and Cycling CommissionerCoverage of the LCC Women's Network's first report from 2024 https://nla.london/news/what-stops-women-cycling-in-london The London Cycling Campaign's Women's Network report, Women's Freedom After Dark, 2025: https://lcc.org.uk/news/womens-freedom-after-dark/Moira Gemmill's death at the hands of a distracted lorry driver: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39027676 Work to improve Lambeth Bridge for cycling https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2025/january/tfl-begins-next-phase-of-work-to-improve-safety-at-lambeth-bridge For ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

As we kick off Women's History Month, Susan Esper '91, '19P, '22P joins host Bridget E. Anthony '22, '23G for a conversation about leadership, service, and the path that brought her back to Friartown as chair of the Board of Trustees. In this episode, Esper reflects on her experience as a student, the mentors who shaped her, and the professional journey that unfolded after graduation. She shares insight into what the board of trustees does, what it means to serve as chair, and how decisions that impact the college are made. As the first woman to serve as chair of the board, Esper also speaks about what that milestone means to her, the responsibility and opportunity it carries, and her hopes for the next generation of Friars. This conversation is about more than titles — it's about purpose, perspective, and the lasting impact of a Providence College education.

ABOUT THE A BUILDING iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment Launch "The A Building" - A Riveting New Documentary Podcast About the Student Uprising That Reshaped Historically Black Colleges and Universities New Series Recounts How a Group of Morehouse College Students in 1969, Including a Young Samuel L. Jackson, Organized a Protest That Took Multiple Hostages, Among Them Martin Luther King Sr. iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, and Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment today announced the launch of "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts. The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life. One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose. Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide. Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting. "This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later." "It's an incredible, unbelievable story when you first hear it," said Hans Charles, co-creator and producer. "That it happened on a campus like Morehouse College, in a city like Atlanta, at such a volatile time, speaks to the importance of telling and exploring what is quintessential American History." "What makes the story of 'The A Building' so compelling is how clearly it reveals the purpose and power of protest," said Nathan Kloke, Executive Producer for Imagine Entertainment. "When Hans and Menelek first brought us this pivotal chapter of American history, it unfolded like a heist film-fast-paced, surprising, and utterly gripping. We're excited to bring audiences along for the ride." "This is premium documentary storytelling that connects history to the present," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "'The A Building' revisits a moment that feels both historic and urgently relevant, revealing how student voices helped shape lasting institutional change."

iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment Launch "The A Building" - A Riveting New Documentary Podcast About the Student Uprising That Reshaped Historically Black Colleges and UniversitiesNew Series Recounts How a Group of Morehouse College Students in 1969, Including a Young Samuel L. Jackson, Organized a Protest That Took Multiple Hostages, Among Them Martin Luther King Sr.iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, and Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment today announced the launch of "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts.The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life.One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose.Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide.Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting."This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later.""It's an incredible, unbelievable story when you first hear it," said Hans Charles, co-creator and producer. "That it happened on a campus like Morehouse College, in a city like Atlanta, at such a volatile time, speaks to the importance of telling and exploring what is quintessential American History.""What makes the story of 'The A Building' so compelling is how clearly it reveals the purpose and power of protest," said Nathan Kloke, Executive Producer for Imagine Entertainment. "When Hans and Menelek first brought us this pivotal chapter of American history, it unfolded like a heist film-fast-paced, surprising, and utterly gripping. We're excited to bring audiences along for the ride.""This is premium documentary storytelling that connects history to the present," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "'The A Building' revisits a moment that feels both historic and urgently relevant, revealing how student voices helped shape lasting institutional change.""The A Building" is part of a growing slate of documentary podcasts from iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment, including"Hello Isaac," "Unf**cking the Future," "Big Sugar," "The Tao of Muhammad Ali," "Obscurum, and "The Secret World of Roald Dahl," which explore iconic figures, cultural flashpoints, and untold stories through deep reporting and cinematic storytelling.Nathan Kloke and Kara Welker are Executive Producers for Imagine Entertainment in partnership with oddarts media.

With Jim Dickson — Founding Partner and CEO, Elevation Point Overview Louis Diamond speaks with the founder and CEO of Elevation Point about building a next-generation independent platform focused on ownership, minority capital, data strategy, and scalable, durable advisory firms. Listen in… > Download a transcript of this episode… NOTE: The views and opinions expressed by the guests on this podcast are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Diamond Consultants. Neither Diamond Consultants nor the guests on this podcast are compensated in any way for their participation. Watch… https://youtu.be/D0-y8Q-DYvg About this episode… For decades, advisors operated under the assumption that there was a single path to success—a defined route dominated by the largest and most prominent firms. Over time, the landscape of options expanded, and the independent space matured. With it came a new set of challenges: how to turn the pursuit of freedom and control into something durable, scalable, and ultimately into a true enterprise. Jim Dickson has been thinking through that challenge for most of his career. After two decades at Merrill, Jim went on to found Sanctuary Wealth (a story we shared earlier in this series), where he played a central role in shaping what supportive independence could look like for growing advisory teams. Today, his own journey has entered a new chapter with Elevation Point—a next-generation independent platform focused on helping advisors take business ownership to a new level, with alignment, scalability, and long-term value at the core. In this episode, Jim and Louis Diamond talk about what led Jim to this new chapter, including: Elevation Point's unique value proposition—and how it fills a gap in the landscape. The value of capital—and how Elevation Point adds value along the way. Increasing enterprise value—and what advisors can do to grow without sacrificing control. Ownership and alignment—and why “how much of the pie you actually own” becomes more important as firms grow. Growth and partnership—and what it really means to build a firm intentionally over time. AI, data, and technology—and how each can support better decision-making. This is a story about yet another evolution in the landscape of options available to advisors—and why the future of independence is less about exits and more about elevation.

His growth mindset for RIAs and independence-seeking advisors prioritizes an “advisor-first” approach, tailored to an advisor's values and long-term vision.  Jim co-founded Elevation Point with Mark Penske in 2024 to serve as a value-aligned growth partner to independence-focused advisors and RIAs. Jim previously founded and built nationally recognized wealth management firm Sanctuary Wealth, which he launched in 2018. He was the visionary behind Sanctuary Wealth's Partnered IndependenceSM platform, providing elite advisors with all of the tools, services, and resources needed to fully and effectively serve their clients.

WHEN ASSET PROTECTION LEADS TO HIGHER TRUST TAXES FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Lawrence M. Post CPA, MST, CFP®, CIMA® Senior Tax & Planning Advisor Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist About This Episode Tessa speaks with BWFA Senior Tax & Planning Advisor Larry Post about how trusts are taxed, why they often reach higher tax brackets quickly, and what trustees and beneficiaries should understand before filing. Learn more about how BWFA supports trustees and families through our Tax Planning services page. Read Full Description Trusts can be powerful estate planning tools, but they come with their own set of tax rules. Many people assume a trust is taxed the same way an individual is taxed. In reality, trust tax brackets are compressed, which means income can be taxed at higher rates much more quickly. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa speaks with BWFA Senior Tax & Planning Advisor Larry Post about how trusts are taxed, how income is treated inside a trust, and what trustees need to know when preparing annual filings. The conversation explains the difference between income that remains in the trust and income that is distributed to beneficiaries. The episode also highlights how capital gains are typically handled and why distribution decisions can significantly affect the overall tax outcome. Trustees must consider not only investment performance but also the tax implications of retaining income versus passing it through. Larry discusses common misunderstandings, including how trust tax brackets differ from individual brackets and why planning ahead can help avoid unintended tax burdens. He also explains why coordination between trustees, beneficiaries, and tax professionals is essential to ensure compliance and efficiency. Throughout the discussion, the focus remains on clarity. Trust taxation does not have to be overwhelming, but it does require attention to detail and proactive communication. Whether serving as a trustee or receiving distributions as a beneficiary, understanding the structure and reporting requirements can help reduce surprises. This episode reinforces that trusts are not just legal documents. They are financial vehicles that require ongoing management, particularly when it comes to taxation.

Mike shares how his firm's transition to Bowditch & Dewey marked a strategic shift toward greater depth, stability, and long-term growth. He reflects on the realities of law firm mergers, the importance of cultural fit, and why thoughtful, deliberate decision-making matters when navigating professional change. At the same time, he explores what it truly takes to master trial advocacy — not just knowing the rules of evidence but developing the judgment to use them effectively in real time.   With practical insight and courtroom perspective, Mike discusses: Why choosing the right professional “fit” matters more than chasing greener grass How expanded resources and stability strengthen both lawyers and clients Why objections require judgment — not just knowledge of the rules When restraint in the courtroom is more powerful than constant objection How experiential learning builds real courtroom confidence and much more   Mike emphasizes that becoming a strong trial lawyer is an iterative process — one that requires repetition, reflection, and real courtroom experience. He underscores that continuing legal education is not simply a requirement, but a professional obligation and opportunity to refine craft, build community, and elevate standards across the bar.   Featured Guest Mike Sams —Litigation Practice Area Co-Leader at Bowditch & Dewey, Mike is a seasoned trial lawyer and business litigator serving companies throughout New England. He represents clients in complex construction and business disputes before state and federal courts and arbitration forums.

The Excellence of a Horse: A Lunar New Year Celebration Sunday, February 22, 2026 As we welcome the Year of the Horse, we celebrate an animal that has long represented “excellence” in Chinese folklore and around the world—admired for speed, agility, or endurance. In this new year of intentions and resolutions, we might also ask ourselves, what makes a human excellent? Is it our abilities, our accomplishments—or is it the quality of our character? Across cultures, from Chinese to Greek philosophy, thinkers have returned to the same conviction: What makes up human excellence is the inner strength of our values. Join Rev. Seanan Fong, UUSF Affiliated Community Minister and founder of the San Francisco Contemplarium, in this season of new beginnings as we set our intentions for the kind of people we aspire to be. Seanan Fong, Affiliated Community Minister; Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Sam King, Worship Associate; Lori Lai, Worship Associate; Julia Wald, Trustee; Haruka and Yuki Ota, cellists; Ben Rudiak-Gould, songleader; Wm.

One by one, Ontario school boards are being taken under the control of the provincial government, as Education Minister Paul Calandra says is in an attempt to fix reported financial mismanagement. Instead, the ministry has either appointed supervisors to oversee boards, or in some cases, Calandra himself will take direct control - a job he claims comes with no extra pay. However critics believe the move is a power-hungry one, and comes at the expense of students' wellbeing, as well as local democracy. Host Maria Kestane speaks to 680 NewsRadio Queen's Park reporter, Richard Southern, and Vice President of the Ontario Secondary School Teacher's Federation, Colin Matthew, to break down what's behind the takeovers, and what they believe the Ford government has up its sleeve.

Sycamore Township - Trustees Meeting - February 17, 2026

Choosing a corporate trustee is one of the most important decisions in estate planning—especially if you're naming a bank, brokerage trust department, or independent trust company to manage assets and carry out your wishes after you're gone. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn break down how to compare corporate trustees beyond just “lowest fees,” including fiduciary standards, investment flexibility, service model, administrative capabilities, distribution discipline, technology/reporting, continuity, and how they handle family dynamics. We also cover the key differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts, including where each is typically used, how control and flexibility change, and why trustee selection matters even more once a trust becomes irrevocable. Finally, we explain Trust Protectors—what they do, why they can be a critical safeguard, and how they may help your beneficiaries replace a trustee later if service, philosophy, or circumstances change. For educational purposes only. This discussion is general in nature and not individualized legal, tax, or investment advice—talk with your estate attorney and tax professional to apply these concepts to your situation.

Recently, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik and Carlos Campo, president of the Museum of the Bible, joined the CEO of Tikvah, Eric Cohen, for a conversation about cherishing and strengthening America's heritage of religious freedom. They were convened by the Levy Forum for Open Discourse, now in its fourth season, an initiative that is sponsored by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, generously funded by Paul and Karen Levy, and hosted by the Palm Beach Synagogue. More information about Levy Forum programs and video recordings can be found at https://goacta.org. This week, we're sharing a special broadcast of this important conversation, which delves into who we are as Americans, the country's biblical heritage, and what it means to be a covenantal nation. This episode of the Tikvah Podcast is generously sponsored by Steve and Deborah Kleinman in memory of Steve's grandmother, Gittel Fox.
