On Monday September 21, 2020 the Abelove trial continued. After a morning witness took the stand the rest of the day was spent reading Abelove's Grand Jury Testimony. In this recording you hear the prosecution reading the documents of the trial where Abelove testified. Former Rensselaer County District Attorney Joel Abelove was in the room following a transcript of his grand jury testimony while Deputy Chief Jennifer Sommers and Deputy Chief Nicholas Viorst read it into the court record. Viorst read Abelove's testimony and Sommers read her own parts. This is just the first hour plus of the reading. In this file you will hear that Abelove allowed Troy police Sgt. Randall French to testify with immunity before an earlier grand jury because he believed the sergeant’s fatal shooting of Edson Thevenin in 2016 was justified. "You believe the shooting was justified?" asked Sommers. "Correct." Abelove answered.

Viorst, Judith. LULU IS GETTING A SISTER

After promising Kate that they'd do a book by a lady, Betsy had to determine the best possible choice. Her idea was to look on her old Top 100 Picture Books Poll and see who the top women on there were. #1? Margaret Wise Brown. #2 was Judith Viorst and this book. You know, you never know which books are going to provide you with a plethora of information. This book? Kate had to edit every "um" and "uh" out of the recording to winnow the yammering down to a mere 45 minutes. Still was fun, though. Show Notes: - Betsy couldn't conjure up the name on the spot, but the Boxtrolls movie was based on Here Be Monsters by Alan Snow. - Here's the Viorst bio on Wikipedia. Betsy still finds it oddly charming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Viorst - Is Ray Cruz dead? No, but it was difficult to find that information online. If you look at the webpage dedicated to his papers at the de Grummond collection, they state that "Cruz lived in New York City until his death." http://www.lib.usm.edu/legacy/degrum/public_html/html/research/findaids/DG0240f.html -For the full Show Notes please visit http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2018/04/23/fuse-8-n-kate-alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day-by-judith-viorst

From the moment Alexander wakes up things just do not go his way. As he gets up, chewing gum that was in his mouth the night before winds up in his hair, he trips on his skateboard and drops his sweater into the sink while the water was running. At breakfast, his brothers, Anthony and Nick, reach into their cereal boxes and find amazing prizes, while he ends up with just cereal. Things go rapidly downhill from there. A running gag throughout the book is Alexander repeating several times that he wants to move to Australia because he thinks it's better there. It ends with his mother's assurance that everybody has bad days, even those who live there.[1] In the Australian and New Zealand versions, he wants to move to Timbuktu instead (presumably because he already lives in Australia). In 1990 the book was adapted into a 25-minute animated musical television special that aired on HBO in the United States. Illustrated by Ray Cruz. Read by Skidompha's summer librarian Dawn Greenleaf.
