Send us a textTom began his distinguished career with the NYPD in 1990, following his graduation from the Academy. He was assigned to the 30th Precinct in West Harlem, one of the busiest precincts in the department at the time. From 1996 to 1999, Tom served in the Bronx Narcotics Unit, where he was involved in multiple large-scale narcotics operations. One of his most notable cases was a joint operation with the DEA, which led to the seizure of 125 kilos of cocaine from Venezuela—still the largest cocaine bust in the history of the Bronx Narcotics Unit. The operation also resulted in the arrest of several members of a Venezuelan drug cartel.In 1999, Tom was transferred to the Bronx Gang Unit, where he worked on a high-profile investigation that led to the federal arrest of "OG Mac," the leader of the East Coast Bloods Street Gang. His team also arrested the leaders of the United Bloods Nation and the Nieta's Street Gang, crippling their operations in the area.In 2003, Tom was assigned to the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, following the Terrorist attacks of 9/11, where he worked on numerous international and domestic terrorism cases. His role included briefing the highest levels of government on critical matters of national security. Tom traveled to 18 countries, leading investigations that ranged from anti-terrorism operations to high-profile kidnapping cases. One of his most notable achievements was leading a three-month deployment to Afghanistan, where he oversaw the successful resolution of a kidnapping case involving a New York Times reporter.Tom's vigilance and expertise also led to the prevention of a planned school shooting, which was thwarted just six days before the attack. During the arrest, law enforcement recovered a hit list, a diagram of the school, and materials used to make pipe bombs.Throughout his career, Tom held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearance and briefed some of the highest-ranking members of the U.S. government. After 30 years of exemplary service, Tom retired in 2020 as a Second Grade Detective.Find Tom SmithInstagramWebsiteYoutubeFind The Suffering PodcastThe Suffering Podcast InstagramKevin Donaldson InstagramMike Failace InstagramApple PodcastSpotifyYouTubeThe Suffering Podcast FamilySherri AllsupKetaReviveToyota of HackensackSupport the showThe Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram TikTok YouTube

A travel advisory is in effect for New York City through Friday as heavy rain and strong winds move through the region. Meanwhile, as part of its ongoing fight against rats, the Department of Sanitation is ordering up to 1,500 large trash containers that will initially be placed in front of large buildings in West Harlem. Plus, WNYC's Arun Venugopal reports on a state commission that's studying reparations for New Yorkers of African descent. And finally, we team up with the nonprofit Street Lab to highlight local stories in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
Emily Raboteau's book, Lessons for Survival, begins with a painting of two Burrowing Owls on the security gate of a local business in West Harlem, near where she teaches. Intrigued, she found more bird murals nearby, later learning that they are part of a collaborative effort between the National Audubon Society and artists to highlight bird species at risk of extinction due to climate change. Emily decided to seek out all the murals and photograph them before they disappear – because like birds, street art is ephemeral.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

[00:30] Harlem Wants Four More Years of Trump (31 minutes) After spending all day in court, Donald Trump visited a bodega in West Harlem to raucous cheers and applause from a crowd chanting “U.S.A.” and “Four more years!” The regime media is still completely tone-deaf in its insistence that Trump is finished and Joe Biden is a genius. Ben Stein wrote at the American Spectator that anti-Trump lawfare is a coup d'etat to prevent him from retaking the presidency. Also, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a major case regarding the protest on Jan. 6, 2021. [31:30] Special Interview Part 2: Gen. Michael Flynn (24 minutes) General Flynn discusses his new movie on the Armstrong Auditorium stage.
Former President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a legal battle in New York City. The focus of the case is a confidential payment made in 2016 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Last year in April, Trump issued a plea of innocence in response to an indictment composed of 34 counts. The indictment alleged that Trump had constructed misleading business records in relation to a discreet payment to Daniels. This payment, allegedly made by Trump's then-attorney Michael Cohen, was intended to bolster Trump's potential for securing the presidency during the 2016 election. The length of the trial is projected to span between 6 to 8 weeks, with the process to select the jury lasting as much as two weeks. Six individuals, all hailing from a diverse variety of backgrounds reflective of New York City's vibrant population, have been chosen to carry out the task of jurors in Trump's case. Their personal details have not been made public due to safety reasons. The first juror, an Irish immigrant and seasoned sales professional, currently resides in West Harlem. His choice of news outlets includes respected sources like the New York Times, Daily Mail, Fox News, and MSNBC. Juror number two is a dedicated oncology nurse working at Memorial Sloan Kettering. She is also a passionate pet owner who relishes strolls in the park with her dog, relying on platforms like The New York Times, CNN, Google, and Facebook for news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Catsimatidis went from rags to riches to become the CEO of the Red Apple Group where he began his meteoric rise to billionaire status as the founder of the Gristedes supermarket chain in New York City. He started as a child immigrant from very modest beginnings were he had to learn English and where he took one small grocery store and turned it into a sprawling empire. He has gone on to be wildly successful in other industries including real estate, energy, sports and media as the owner of WABC Radio in NYC. His book is How Far Do You Want To Go: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire. If you ever dreamed of hitting the Lotto, dream on...or learn the blueprint from this book on how to get to the top...the very top. Topics we cover in this interview include: What was life like growing up in West Harlem? What inspired you to write a book and what are the main takeaways you wish for our audience to learn from reading it? What do you believe are your secrets or not so secret principles that have enabled you to build not only a successful business empire but a successful personal life as well? What is your idea of common sense that you allude to in the subtitle of your book? There is an incredible quote in your book that was your public school's slogan: Never let it rest until our good gets better and our better gets best. What does that mean to you and how have you applied this lesson? In the book, you say that you were insecure in public school. Insecure that you weren't smart enough. Insecure that your English was not good enough. Insecure that the other kids had more and knew more. Insecure that you did not belong. How did you cope with that at 5 years old & how did you overcome this? What role does collaborating with others play in your life and do you have a prime example that comes to mind of a particularly mutually successful collaboration? Can you tell us what is the sink or swim theory you learned from your cousin in Greece?

Specifically, a slice of bricks and concrete called Morningside Heights. It’s beautiful. The streets straightline up from the river with San Franciscan steepness. Walking and bike paths line the Hudson and above this looms Riverbank State Park, a neat grid of basketball courts and plazas and a full 400-meter track and west-facing benches where I would write and watch the sun set over New Jersey. I lived on the fourth floor of a rambling prewar building of four- and five-bedroom apartments, in a small corner room set with enormous river-facing windows, bracketing the Palisades and the George Washington Bridge twinkling over the swarm.Harlem is a big, busy neighborhood – a neighborhood of neighborhoods, as they say around here. It was a part of the city that still acted like the old city, vibrant with life beyond transit, kids running and inflatable pools dragged onto the sidewalk and on hot days the local fire brigade would pop open the hydrants and let the water gush. Men played Dominoes on folding tables. It was a primarily Dominican neighborhood, and the bodegas stocked heaping crates of wild exotic fruits.This was wonderful, but the place had shortcomings. It was hard to find basic items, such as a toothbrush. I once found myself in need of bug spray and had to take the 1 train down to the Upper West Side – 51 blocks – to find it. I was frequently offered drugs while walking down the street. There were no bars and few restaurants.Every New York-based newspaper and magazine would point to Harlem, with its lovely building stock and dense network of subway lines and irreplaceable Manhattan location, as the “next Brooklyn.” What that meant, of course, was gentrification. That’s a heavy subject, and one I’ll skim over here. What I wanted was to be able to restock my medicine cabinet without an excursion across the island, like some sort of uptown Laura Ingles Wilder. When a chain pharmacy finally moved into four combined storefronts in my third or fourth year in the neighborhood, I was relieved. I thought maybe a nice pub would follow.It never did. I moved back to the Upper East Side in 2014. For four years, I kept the apartment and rented out the rooms. A chichi wine bar popped up here and there, but Morningside Heights today looks much the same as it did in 2009, when I moved in: smoke shops and sex shops and bodegas and variety stores that look as though they are stocked by dumping out the contents of random shipping containers. It’s lively and raw and interesting, but Harlem was not, in fact, the next Brooklyn.And that’s kind of how I view Idaho. It’s skiing’s next big thing that never quite gets there. And why not? There is plenty of snow. Lookout Pass scores 400 inches per year. Pomerelle rocks 500. Brundage, Schweitzer, Silver, and Tamarack each claim 300. If you count Lost Trail, which straddles the Idaho-Montana border, the state has nine ski areas* with more than 1,000 acres of terrain and 12 with a vertical drop of more than 1,000 feet**. The southern part of the state is well-served by Boise airport, and the northern part by Spokane.So why, as Colorado and Utah overflow from Epkon skiers, do Idaho lifts continue to spin empty so much of the time? Most skiers not from Idaho can name one Idaho ski area: Sun Valley. And then they’re stumped. Or maybe they get Schweitzer, whose profile is rising thanks to Ikon Pass membership. Or they’ve heard about once-troubled Tamarack, launched with gusto in 2004 and soon shuttered by a rash court-appointed receiver (it’s back now, and I had a great, extended conversation with current resort president Scott Turlington about the resort’s past and future earlier this year). But, mostly, this is a prime ski state that is not at all perceived as one on the national scene.I’m not exactly sure why. Bogus Basin encapsulates this mystery better than any other Idaho ski area. The mountain is less than an hour (on good roads), from the Boise airport. It’s roughly the size of Copper Mountain and is larger than Beaver Creek, Telluride, Deer Valley, or Jackson Hole by inbounds skiable acreage. It is, in fact, larger than Sun Valley, which is far more remote (a fact somewhat obviated by a good airport). It has four high-speed quads. Coming expansions could further supersize the place.What gives? I put this question to Wilson in the podcast, and his answer is enlightening (and inspiring), for anyone wondering if all big mountains are destined to become Disney-at-Altitude.*Schweitzer (2,900 acres), Bogus Basin (2,600), Sun Valley (2,434), Brundage (1,920), Lost Trail (1,800), Silver (1,600), Soldier Mountain (1,142), Tamarack (1,100), and Pebble Creek (1,100).**Sun Valley (3,400 feet), Tamarack (2,800), Schweitzer (2,400), Silver (2,200), Pebble Creek (2,200), Brundage (1,921), Bogus Basin (1,800), Lost Trail (1,800), Soldier Mountain (1,425), Lookout Pass (1,150), Pomerelle (1,000), and Kelly Canyon (1,000). What we talked aboutA record financial season at Bogus Basin; reopening in April after putting the mountain away for the year; learning to ski in the early ‘70s hotdog scene; Heavenly in the Killebrew days; Gunbarrel lunchbreaks; the legendary team in the Goldmine-transitioning-to-Big Bear days; what made that team disperse; stumbling upon Brian Head; Sugarbush in the American Skiing Company days; yet another testament to the virtues of Sugarbush; yeah I forgot the name of the Slide Brook Express shoot me; fixing up Mountain High; SoCal as snowboard mecca; from 180,000 skier visits to 577,000 in four years with very little capital investment, dethroning Snow Summit as king of SoCal; Alpine Meadows in the Powdr Corp days; why Wilson didn’t become the general manager at Alpine; the difference between the two sides of the resort now known as Palisades Tahoe and thoughts on the base-to-base gondola; how Wilson wound up living and working on Catalina Island, 24 miles off the California coast, for several years; becoming a ski consumer; the unique governance structure of Diamond Peak and how that makes it challenging to operate; finally a GM; how Diamond Peak is different from other Tahoe ski areas; that one season Diamond Peak had the best season of any ski area in Tahoe, and why; trying to market a ski area where the skiers don’t want any other skiers; master planning Diamond Peak; Bogus Basin’s complex ownership structure; Alf Engen’s role in founding Bogus Basin; the ski area’s evolution; the dire financial situation at Bogus Basin when Wilson arrived and how he turned it around; the legacy of Mike Shirley and the birth of the mega-bargain season pass; the incredible, exponential increase in pass sales when the first $199 sale hit; where the discount-pass strategy faltered; what happened when Wilson finally raised the price after more than two decades; Bogus Basin’s expansive reciprocal season pass lift ticket program and why the mountain began charging extra for an upgrade to that pass; what percentage of the ski area’s pass holders upgrade; why Bogus Basin hasn’t (and probably won’t) join the Indy Pass; Bogus Basin’s incredibly low walk-up lift ticket prices; the amazing number of night-skiing passes the mountain sells and the importance of night skiing to the mountain; the tremendous value of the twighlight family pass; the two trails that Bogus Basin is in the process of adding to its night-skiing footprint as soon as the 2022-23 ski season; puzzling through the elaborate equation of night skiing, grooming, avalanche mitigation, and everything else that goes along with big-mountain management; grooming in a low-snow year; coping with Boise’s explosive growth; where Bogus Basin could expand terrain next; when we could see an update of the ski area’s 2016 masterplan; where new trails could be cut within the mountain’s existing footprint; which chairlifts may get an upgrade next; where Bogus Basin may upgrade a high-speed quad to a six-pack; where the ski area may install a new lift within the existing trail footprint and what sort of lift we may see there; is Deer Point the most-used chairlift in the country?; ideas to reconfigure the Coach liftline and what sort of lift could replace the existing machine; the improved and widened beginner trail debuting off the top of Morningstar this coming winter; how Bogus Basin discovered it had water and built a snowmaking system from scratch; expanding the system in the future; and what’s keeping 2,600-acre Bogus Basin from becoming a national destination resort.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewIt started with a comment on one of the most-popular Storm stories I’ve ever written: Rob Katz Changed Skiing. What Comes Next for Vail Resorts?, which I published last December:Let's set the record straight, Vail did not create the concept of cheap passes driving volume. That piece of history should go to Bogus Basin in Boise, Idaho. In 1998 the ski area lowered their anytime season pass rates from $450 to $199. They went from 5,500 passes sold in 1997 to 25,000 in 1998. The rest of the industry took notice and many, if not most ski areas jumped on board. Rob may have expanded on the concept, largely because he had a much larger audience, but he in no way came up with the concept. I'm sure SAM could pull up some old stories. Thanks and Happy New Year-Brad Wilson, GM Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area.Well that was a nice surprise. Perhaps Brad wanted to set the record straight on the podcast, rather than in the comments section alongside various Angry Ski Bros and one guy who said the article was too long for him to read “while riding in the car,” (which really should describe any bit of writing longer than the name of your radio station)?It took us a while, but we finally arranged the chat. Idaho has turned out to be fertile ground for The Storm – the Tamarack pod landed well, and the general managers of Brundage and Sun Valley are scheduled to join me in the fall. As I attempt to sort out both the mystery of Idaho’s secret radness and the market forces and historical events driving the modern U.S. American ski landscape, this sort of insight and historical perspective from the people who lived and are living these things is invaluable.But there was another interesting element to this that I didn’t realize until I began researching the resort for my interview: for a long time, Bogus Basin wasn’t a very good business. For several years, it lost money. And while it never seemed to be in danger of closing, it was in desperate need of new management. Enter Wilson, who, since 2015, has orchestrated one of the greatest big-mountain turnarounds in modern U.S. American skiing. In less than seven years, he has grown revenues from $8 million annually to $18 million. Operating surpluses have grown from negligible to $5 million per year. One hundred percent of that goes back into the mountain, which operates as a nonprofit.This is rare. Most nonprofit ski areas lose money (profitable Bridger Bowl is another exception). Many are taxpayer subsidized. Wilson, who carried four decades of ski industry experience into the corner office with him, has so far been able to navigate whatever bureaucratic and organizational hurdles hobble these other organizations and transform the mountain into an understated gem of the Upper Rockies, a place no one has heard of that everyone could try if they spent about two minutes on logistics. It’s a good mountain that is getting better, and it was a good time to talk about what that better could look like.Questions I wish I’d askedBogus Basin has now explained to me a couple of times why they aren’t interested in joining the Indy Pass, and it has come down to some version of “we don’t want our passholders to have to pay extra for the partner resort lift tickets.” Indeed, Bogus Basin has one of the most phenomenal reciprocal programs (see chart below) in the country – but they charge extra for it. A Bogus Basin-only pass is $549, while the “True Bogus” pass, which includes the reciprocal days, is $80 extra. Granted, that is far less than the $199 Indy AddOn Pass would cost passholders, but it also weakens the rationale that the reciprocal days ought to be embedded in the pass as a native benefit. Wilson explained that the True Bogus pass is a year-round pass and also includes access to all the summer stuff, including scenic lift rides and the MTB trails. He also said there’s a lot of crossover between Bogus Basin’s reciprocals and the Indy Pass - 23 Indy Pass partners are also Bogus Basin reciprocal partners. I’m still not sure that I really understand the fundamental equation here, and I would have liked to have asked a follow-up question or two. But it wouldn’t have really mattered – whatever they’re reason, the mountain is not interested in joining the Indy Pass.What I got wrongI stated in the intro and a couple times throughout the podcast that Bogus Basin was “publicly owned.” That is untrue. While the mountain is registered as a nonprofit organization, it is in fact privately owned by the Bogus Basin Resort Association Inc., which, according to Wilson, is a group of “about 100 volunteers” who own the ski area. If they were ever to sell it, Wilson said, the operation would go to the state.My understanding was that Bogus Basin was running a $1.2 million surplus prior to Wilson’s arrival, but this was, according to Wilson, an isolated figure from one standout year. Most years, the ski area lost money – enough that it totaled “millions of dollars” over the decades, according to Wilson.I stated a couple times in the interview that Bogus Basin was “almost as big as Sun Valley.” It is, in fact, larger by 166 acres. Who knew?In the middle of our conversation, I attempted to call out the name of “the long lift between the two peaks” at Sugarbush, and I blanked. Like a dumbass. Slide. Brook. Express. Maybe if I have a ski publication I ought to be able to remember the name of the longest chairlift on the planet?Why you should ski Bogus BasinBogus Basin seems to have everything a ski resort needs to transform itself into a major name in the U.S. American ski scene: good terrain, plenty of snow, fast lifts, proximity to a major(-ish) airport. It’s larger than the state’s one true legendary destination, Sun Valley, and a bit easier to get to (access road excepted). So why, I asked Wilson, isn’t Bogus Basin lobbying for Ikon membership and tying all these attributes together into a come-ski-me package?Because, he said, the mountain cares about locals and locals alone. That’s its mission: make sure the people of Treasure Valley, Idaho have access to outdoor recreation. So that’s where the mountain focuses its marketing, and that’s what guides its pricing decisions. Peak-day walk-up lift tickets were $73 last year. That’s insane. Who cares if the mountain isn’t on your ULTIMATE FLIPKICK PASS!!! – you can just walk up and ski like it’s Keystone in 2003.There’s another something cool about this local’s focus. When I swing through a locals’ bump in New England, the pace and sense of comfort and urgency is completely different than if I’m at Stratton or Okemo. There’s a sense of, “hey, no need to hurry here. We’re home.” Typically, that sort of place-building self-confidence only exists at places stripped of high-speed lifts and triple-digit trail counts. The big joints – outside of northern Vermont – can rarely retain it. But here is one of the 20 largest ski areas in America, and you’ll find almost no tourists. It’s a place by and for locals, a big ski area that acts like a little one while still skiing like a monster. And that’s pretty cool.Podcast notesWilson came up with Tim Cohee, who is now CEO and part-owner of China Peak, at Heavenly and Big Bear. Cohee joined me on the podcast last year, and there is a ton of crossover between their stories:It’s worth noting that we recorded this podcast on July 11, a week and a half before Gunstock’s senior management team resigned en masse to protest the micromanaging blockheads on the Gunstock Area Commission (GAC), which oversees the county-owned mountain. The parallels between the intransigent GAC and the way that Wilson describes the five-person board of stay-off-my-lawn locals at Diamond Peak are eerie. Certainly we would have made an explicit comparison had it been available to make. Timing.The Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year. This is article 78/100 in 2022, and number 324 since launching on Oct. 13, 2019. Want to send feedback? Reply to this email and I will answer (unless you sound insane).

Peter J. Pranzo is a retired New York City Police Department Lieutenant, with over 21 years of service. He has worked in all of the boroughs of New York, and is one of the most highly decorated Superior Officers in the history of the NYPD, receiving over 60 awards, department commendations, and community awards, including some of the Police Department's highest: The Police Combat Cross, the Award for Valor, and the Honor Legion Medal for Valor. As a young police officer of the late sixties and early seventies, Pranzo worked in some of the city's toughest neighborhoods, including the 71st Precinct, bordering Brooklyn's East New York and Bedford-Stuyvesant. His assignment to the 26th Precinct of West Harlem, while still a rookie cop, forced him to encounter the residuals of one of America's most ruthless, organized cop-killing groups, the Black Liberation Army. The BLA, headed by Joanne Chesimard, targeted Pranzo for a machine gun murder, but for a matter of seconds, mistakenly gunned down two of his comrades in his stead. A traumatized, furious, and determined Pranzo, along with a multitude of NYPD officers, began the hunt for these assassins which would last for years. Joanne Chesimard remains at large today, with a one million dollar bounty on her head. After his promotion to Sergeant in the mid-seventies, Pranzo's new assignment was to the 32nd Precinct of Central Harlem, the then murder and drug capital of America and most violent precinct in the nation, where 13 police officers lost their lives. Here he supervised a narcotics team for eight years, racking up over 8,000 arrests, kicking off the Operation Drug Campaign that spread citywide. Despite an open contract for his death issued by the Gambino organized crime family and personal attempts on his life, he would make his mark as he worked with the notable black community leader, Rita Webb Smith. Together with his narcotics team and community support, they took back the streets of this most deadly, drug and gun infested neighborhood, which freed an entire community and inspired a book entitled, "The Woman Who Took Back Her Streets," New Horizon Press, 1989, which highlighted the team's involvement. It was also within the 32nd Precinct where this young Sergeant was involved in multiple shootouts, and was honored ceremoniously on many occasions by the Honorable Mayor, Edward I. Koch. Retired Lieutenant Pranzo's last assignment was to the New York City Police Department's elite Street Crime Unit. Here he supervised, daily, plainclothes/undercover police who made use of various disguises and impersonations such as cab drivers or street persons while they made arrests for violent street crimes in progress. The Unit effected over 3,000 arrests per year and achieved notoriety within the ranks of law enforcement throughout the Nation. It was within this specialized unit where Lieutenant Pranzo began his writing career for New York Newspapers and Police Magazines. After losing a personal friend and many other fellow officers to suicide, Lieutenant Pranzo knew there was a problem inherent in police work and vowed to make a difference. The many articles written for police magazines across the country about the subject of stress, trauma, and suicides in law enforcement, began to take hold. Through some prompting and political pushing, the NYPD and many other large city departments finally began formal counseling programs, peer units, and help-line numbers displayed on posters for any police officer who needed assistance. These remain in place today. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/otcpod1/support

He has lived in Indiana, Florida, Kentucky, and Alabama, but for the past eight years has devoted his life to the ministry of the word in New York City. After living in the Bronx for five years and working with a bilingual church in West Harlem, Caleb moved with his family to Brooklyn where he has spent the past three years ministering. This recording was originally for a youth lectures that Caleb and I participated in for a church in Texas. Caleb also did a separate lesson on racism, which was fantastic. You can find it at http://www.woodlandschurchofchrist.orgIn this episode, we discuss the problem of racism not just in America as a whole, but even among Christians. We share some difficult stories, talk about how we can build bridges instead of barriers and more. Be sure to check out my website http://www.benjaminlee.blog where I have a number of resources (sermons, podcasts, and articles) pertaining to racism.

It was also within the 32nd Precinct where this young Sergeant was involved in multiple shootouts, and was honored ceremoniously on many occasions by the Honorable Mayor, Edward I. Koch. Retired Lieutenant Pranzo's last assignment was to the New York City Police Department's elite Street Crime Unit. Here he supervised, daily, plainclothes/undercover police who made use of various disguises and impersonations such as cab drivers or street persons while they made arrests for violent street crimes in progress. The Unit effected over 3,000 arrests per year and achieved notoriety within the ranks of law enforcement throughout the Nation. It was within this specialized unit where Lieutenant Pranzo began his writing career for New York Newspapers and Police Magazines. After losing a personal friend and many other fellow officers to suicide, Lieutenant Pranzo knew there was a problem inherent in police work and vowed to make a difference. The many articles written for police magazines across the country about the subject of stress, trauma, and suicides in law enforcement, began to take hold. Through some prompting and political pushing, the NYPD and many other large city departments finally began formal counseling programs, peer units, and help-line numbers displayed on posters for any police officer who needed assistance. These remain in place today.
Peter J. Pranzo is a retired New York City Police Department Lieutenant, with over 21 years of service. He has worked in all of the boroughs of New York, and is one of the most highly decorated Superior Officers in the history of the NYPD, receiving over 60 awards, department commendations, and community awards, including some of the Police Department's highest: The Police Combat Cross, the Award for Valor, and the Honor Legion Medal for Valor. As a young police officer of the late sixties and early seventies, Pranzo worked in some of the city's toughest neighborhoods, including the 71st Precinct, bordering Brooklyn's East New York and Bedford-Stuyvesant. His assignment to the 26th Precinct of West Harlem, while still a rookie cop, forced him to encounter the residuals of one of America's most ruthless, organized cop-killing groups, the Black Liberation Army. The BLA, headed by Joanne Chesimard, targeted Pranzo for a machine gun murder, but for a matter of seconds, mistakenly gunned down two of his comrades in his stead. A traumatized, furious, and determined Pranzo, along with a multitude of NYPD officers, began the hunt for these assassins which would last for years. Joanne Chesimard remains at large today, with a one million dollar bounty on her head. After his promotion to Sergeant in the mid-seventies, Pranzo's new assignment was to the 32nd Precinct of Central Harlem, the then murder and drug capital of America and most violent precinct in the nation, where 13 police officers lost their lives. Here he supervised a narcotics team for eight years, racking up over 8,000 arrests, kicking off the Operation Drug Campaign that spread citywide. Despite an open contract for his death issued by the Gambino organized crime family and personal attempts on his life, he would make his mark as he worked with the notable black community leader, Rita Webb Smith. Together with his narcotics team and community support, they took back the streets of this most deadly, drug and gun infested neighborhood, which freed an entire community and inspired a book entitled, "The Woman Who Took Back Her Streets," New Horizon Press, 1989, which highlighted the team's involvement.

Ed Levine first met Jessamyn Waldman Rodriguez eight years ago, when he happened upon her and her mother selling handmade tortillas at a tiny farmers market in West Harlem. Even back then, he could tell that Jessamyn was a force to be reckoned with. She embraces her life's work with equal parts humanity, passion, and focus. In recent years, Jessamyn's nonprofit and bakery, Hot Bread Kitchen, has been preserving baking traditions from around the world by hiring immigrant women to make the breads of their home countries in the organization's headquarters in Manhattan. Along the way, Hot Bread Kitchen has essentially become a wildly successful job-training program for the thousands of women who have passed through its doors. It's an awe-inspiring operation, and when you listen to this episode of Special Sauce, you'll understand that it takes a force of nature like Jessamyn Rodriguez to undertake this kind of initiative.
