<title>Hudson Valley Ribfest (August 12 and August 13 2017) by RadioRotary • A podcast on Anchor</title>
<meta name="description" content="Steve Laubach and Don Verity, along with former Highland Rotarian
Jamie Anson, tell about the glories of eating barbecue (and listening to music) at the thirteenth annual Ribfest, Ulster County Fairgrounds just outside New Paltz. In addition to great food and music by local performers, the Ribfest has many activities for children and some special events. The $7 admission (free parking) allows you to spend time at the Chef Demonstration Tent, where not only do local chefs, the Culinary Institute of America, and other professionals provide cooking and decorating tips, but also there are free samples of the foods being demonstrated. Next door, local, vintners, brewers, and distillers allow you to sample their products as well. In Competition Alley, barbecue chefs compete for cash prizes and a grand prize of entry into the World Series of Barbecue in Kansas City." />

In English, the Huellas Fundación is the Footprints Foundation with Meaning of Life.

Another Rotary Action Group specializes in preventing blindness through improving maternal health, cataract surgery, and detection of macular degeneration. The “I Can Read” songs are taught to pre-school children, providing an easy way to learn reading easy, high-frequency words.

Although most of the time the two organizations are\nindependent, they support several of the same causes, such as the\nlocal food bank and scholarships for students from the local high\nschool.","duration":1607113,"episodeId":"e1t2vt","shareLinkPath":"/radiorotary/episodes/Pleasant-Valley-Lions-Aired-April-8--2017--April-9--2017-e1t2vt","shareLinkEmbedPath":"/radiorotary/embed/episodes/Pleasant-Valley-Lions-Aired-April-8--2017--April-9--2017-e1t2vt","stationId":"54d1b88","title":"Pleasant Valley Lions (Aired April 8, 2017 & April 9, 2017)"},{"created":"2018-07-28T11:23:03.000Z","createdUnixTimestamp":1532776983,"isDeleted":false,"modified":"2018-07-28T11:23:03.000Z","publishOn":"2018-07-28T11:22:54.000Z","publishOnUnixTimestamp":1532776974,"hourOffset":4,"isDistributedExternally":true,"podcastEpisodeIsExplicit":false,"podcastEpisodeType":"full","podcastEpisodeUuid":"a72babac-c73f-b945-6fb4-fb5cbbaa29e7","podcastSeasonNumber":1,"description":"Vanderbilt Gardens volunteers Susanne Gillespie and Anita Whelan\ncome to the RadioRotary studio to discuss the beautiful gardens they \nhelp tend at the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site in Hyde Park,\nNY.\n\n\n\nThe Vanderbilt Mansion was the impressive summer “cottage” of Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt.

Among the many problems caused by using either kind of opiate is overdose, which frequently leads to death. Susan Salomone’s son Justin, who struggled with opiate addiction for ten years, was among those who died from an overdose, leading Mrs. Salomone to start “Drug Crisis in Our Backyard,” a community action organization that provides resources for dealing with addiction.

Among the many problems caused by using either kind of opiate is overdose, which frequently leads to death. Susan Salomone’s son Justin, who struggled with opiate addiction for ten years, was among those who died from an overdose, leading Mrs. Salomone to start “Drug Crisis in Our Backyard,” a community action organization that provides resources for dealing with addiction. In this RadioRotary interview, Mrs. Salomone tells Justin’s story and presents the facts about opiate addiction.","duration":1558969,"episodeId":"e1se3c","shareLinkPath":"/radiorotary/episodes/Drug-Crisis-in-Our-Backyard-Aired-on-September-12--13--2015-e1se3c","shareLinkEmbedPath":"/radiorotary/embed/episodes/Drug-Crisis-in-Our-Backyard-Aired-on-September-12--13--2015-e1se3c","stationId":"54d1b88","title":"Drug Crisis in Our Backyard (Aired on September 12 & 13, 2015)"},{"created":"2018-07-25T12:20:08.000Z","createdUnixTimestamp":1532521208,"isDeleted":false,"modified":"2018-07-25T12:20:08.000Z","publishOn":"2018-07-25T12:19:59.000Z","publishOnUnixTimestamp":1532521199,"hourOffset":4,"isDistributedExternally":true,"podcastEpisodeIsExplicit":false,"podcastEpisodeType":"full","podcastEpisodeUuid":"0698ce33-e0dd-dcb2-12e5-cefd0b93f6c9","podcastSeasonNumber":1,"description":"RadioRotary interviews Marisol Rodriguez, Executive Director of Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley, a nonprofit using local volunteers to help people to read, write, and reach their potential.

Margie Menard, Director of Kingston Library, and Cassandra Beam, CEO of the Ulster Literacy Association, both Kingston Rotary Club members, discuss the multitude of reasons for current illiteracy in the U.S. They facilitate tutoring programs and the yearly international project called World Book Night held on April 23 (Shakespeare’s birth and death date). During World Book Night some 80,000 volunteers around the world give millions of books to folks who find it difficult to gain access to books, with 25,000 distributed in the U.S. alone. This person-to-person approach has made for the yearly success of this initiative.","duration":1496267,"episodeId":"e1qt15","shareLinkPath":"/radiorotary/episodes/Literacy-and-World-Book-Night-Aired-April-19--2013--on-FM-e1qt15","shareLinkEmbedPath":"/radiorotary/embed/episodes/Literacy-and-World-Book-Night-Aired-April-19--2013--on-FM-e1qt15","stationId":"54d1b88","title":"Literacy and World Book Night (Aired April 19, 2013, on FM)"},{"created":"2018-07-18T22:37:50.000Z","createdUnixTimestamp":1531953470,"isDeleted":false,"modified":"2018-07-18T22:37:50.000Z","publishOn":"2018-07-18T22:37:40.000Z","publishOnUnixTimestamp":1531953460,"hourOffset":4,"isDistributedExternally":true,"podcastEpisodeIsExplicit":false,"podcastEpisodeType":"full","podcastEpisodeUuid":"f041a927-dd60-432b-ea09-fbfa6fd1d145","podcastSeasonNumber":1,"description":"District Governor Bonnie Sirower (Rotary District 7490 in New Jersey) describes the lasting effects of Hurricane Sandy, one of the worst tropical cyclones in the history of New Jersey and New York.

The children of two Hyde Park Rotarians met as young adults at a function, fell in love, married, and together joined the Peace Corps in Madagascar.

Sara helps support research by major epilepsy organizations with Sara’s Strikes for Seizures, a bowling afternoon that raises money for the cause.","duration":1395069,"episodeId":"e1qrc8","shareLinkPath":"/radiorotary/episodes/Award-Winning-RadioRotary-ProgramAugust-3--2012-e1qrc8","shareLinkEmbedPath":"/radiorotary/embed/episodes/Award-Winning-RadioRotary-ProgramAugust-3--2012-e1qrc8","stationId":"54d1b88","title":"Award-Winning RadioRotary Program(August 3, 2012)"},{"created":"2018-07-18T12:14:50.000Z","createdUnixTimestamp":1531916090,"isDeleted":false,"modified":"2018-07-18T12:14:51.000Z","publishOn":"2018-07-18T12:14:41.000Z","publishOnUnixTimestamp":1531916081,"hourOffset":4,"isDistributedExternally":true,"podcastEpisodeIsExplicit":false,"podcastEpisodeType":"full","podcastEpisodeUuid":"dd60e7bf-e7a5-ba5c-0a7e-82a44515b59d","podcastSeasonNumber":1,"description":"Giorgio Balestrieri, a Rotary UN Representative in the International Service Division, epitomizes Rotary’s passion for peace through service.

Once there, Rotary teams travel, often under great hardship, to reach remote villages in order to give families easy-to-use sand water filter systems that will provide 20 gallons of fresh water daily.\n\nHighland Rotary estimates that over 5,000 people to date are drinking safe water, some for the first time in their lives.","duration":1404813,"episodeId":"e1q4ld","shareLinkPath":"/radiorotary/episodes/Saving-Lives-in-El-Salvador-with-Clean-Water-Nov--20--2009-e1q4ld","shareLinkEmbedPath":"/radiorotary/embed/episodes/Saving-Lives-in-El-Salvador-with-Clean-Water-Nov--20--2009-e1q4ld","stationId":"54d1b88","title":"Saving Lives in El Salvador with Clean Water Nov. 20, 2009"},{"created":"2018-07-14T19:36:12.000Z","createdUnixTimestamp":1531596972,"isDeleted":false,"modified":"2018-07-14T19:36:12.000Z","publishOn":"2018-07-14T19:36:03.000Z","publishOnUnixTimestamp":1531596963,"hourOffset":4,"isDistributedExternally":true,"podcastEpisodeIsExplicit":false,"podcastEpisodeType":"full","podcastEpisodeUuid":"f6e30c21-3c7a-e9b9-5c3f-db260542e1d5","podcastSeasonNumber":1,"description":"Wappingers Rotarian Louise Quartuccio, Director of Social Services at Elant, and Fishkill Rotarian Pat Usifer, Corporate Director of Activities at Elant, discuss Elderact, an important recent humanitarian component of Rotary in local District 7210.

In addition to great food and music by local performers, the Ribfest has many activities for children and some special events. The $7 admission (free parking) allows you to spend time at the Chef Demonstration Tent, where not only do local chefs, the Culinary Institute of America, and other professionals provide cooking and decorating tips, but also there are free samples of the foods being demonstrated. Next door, local, vintners, brewers, and distillers allow you to sample their products as well. In Competition Alley, barbecue chefs compete for cash prizes and a grand prize of entry into the World Series of Barbecue in Kansas City.","keywords":"podcast hosting,free podcast hosting,make a

interviews, two entertaining professional radio hosts, Sarah O’Connell and Jonah Triebwasser, chat with Rotarians and non-Rotarians, people who live by Rotary’s motto, “Service above Self.” Guests are humanitarians who work on many levels in programs that address such important issues as poverty, education, health, the environment, and employment and vocations. Each interview provides timely information that focuses on improving the quality of life for everyone, both here and abroad. <div class="styles__userElsewhere___2OGxu"><a class="styles__userUrl___13-js jsOutboundLink" href="http://www.RadioRotary.org" data-vars-outbound-link="http://www.RadioRotary.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.RadioRotary.org</a></div><div class="styles__desktopCTASection___2n4ky"><div><button class="styles__listenInButton___2Jal2">Listen in your favorite app</button><div class="styles__promotedListeningPlatformAvailableOnOtherPlatformsContainer___93dNd"><div class="styles__promotedListeningPlatformAvailableOnOtherPlatformsButton___1lxrS">Available on <!-- -->11<!-- --> <!-- -->platforms</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeed___3mOKz"><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Odyssey--a-Church-for-the-Developmentally-Disabled-Aired-On-December-29--30--2018-e30nq5"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_episode400/789394/789394-1548192678604-6fbf3052e4a8e.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Odyssey--a-Church-for-the-Developmentally-Disabled-Aired-On-December-29--30--2018-e30nq5"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Odyssey, a Church for the Developmentally Disabled (Aired On December 29 & 30, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Pastor Steve Dambra visits RadioRotary to tell about the Odyssey Church, which serves the developmentally disabled community of Dutchess County (and others who choose to attend). Located at the ARC Vocational Center in Poughkeepsie, Odyssey provides the all the services you expect from a Christian Church—a Sunday service at 10:00 a.m. that is filled with hymns and prayers, Bible study, even baptisms. Sermons are kept simple, focusing on a single topic.
Much of the congregation is bussed in from group homes around the county. Members of the congregation participate in the organization in many ways. The church is also planning to partake in a celebration run by the Tim Tebow Foundation, called “A Night to Shine,” a prom night where every participant is a King or Queen of the Prom. Odyssey Church is part of the outreach from the Hopewell Reformed Church, a pillar of religion and good works in Dutchess Country that has been active since 1757.

In English, the Huellas Fundación is the Footprints Foundation with Meaning of Life. Teenagers and college students form the basis of the Foundation, dressing as clowns to amuse the children and, with the help of the Neiva Noches Plateñas Rotary and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, find ways to provide the children with last wishes. Constantino and Duenas joined in the entertainment dressed as clowns (Mr. Constantino in costume was given the name “Dr Cute,” which Rotarians in District 7210 will certainly endorse.)

The fire started with an electrical problem in the basement, collapsed the first floor of the building, moved up through hollow walls to the attic, and essentially destroyed the interior of the building. Quick work by the Pleasant Valley Fire Volunteers with help from eight other local fire departments, saved special items from the building and prevented complete collapse—the shell of the 150-year-old building is still intact, and plans are underway to create a new building that will maintain that façade. Listen to the show to hear the Krugers explain the plans for the library in the future and find out how you can help the rebuilding.

Millie Gaines, one of the 800 or so employees who works with clients at The ARC Westchester, visits the RadioRotary studios to describe some of the programs, which range from testing infants and young children through to residential services for independent living. Programs can be grouped into six categories: early childhood, day services, career and employment, family support, staying healthy, and living at home. Some clients volunteer to help other charitable programs, while some volunteers become interns who help the clients. It is a fascinating story.

industrial park off the Dutchess Turnpike. But all of that is scheduled to be

The Deckers took over providing presents and other help for the family, a practice that became the origin of a charity that does the same throughout the Hudson Valley for families who have a child with a life-threatening illness. Although Angels of Light is based in Millbrook, NY, many of the families are residents of Ronald MacDonald House in Valhalla, NY, or have children being treated at nearby Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Volunteers often donate presents for children or the charity provides them. Other volunteers wrap and deliver the gifts to the families. Many gifts are donated through “giving trees,” found in local businesses throughout the area. Funds for the 501(c)3 charity are also raised at events, such as a holiday brunch at Monte’s Local Kitchen in Amenia, NY.

Vassar sophomore Mary McCarthy, publicity director of the project, and Lila Meade were the guests on RadioRotary for this show. Ms. McCarthy was inspired to work on the project by reading Mountains Beyond Mountains, a biography of Paul Farmer, founder of Partners in Health. As a result of the project, which raises funds primarily by selling Haitian paintings and crafts, Chermaitre and the surrounding area is served by a 250-student school, a clinic that treats 3,000 patients annually, and clean water, the last from a Rotary Global Grant sponsored by the Poughkeepsie-Arlington Rotary. Vassar now has a Rotaract Club, which is seeking grant money from Rotary to provide the clinic with electricity. It is inspiring work.

The project is called “Hearts, Dreams and Laughs,” because it mostly consists of hiring professional clowns and other entertainers to bring some smiles to the nearly 200 children in hospitals in and around Nieva who will probably live the rest of their young lives in the hospitals. Clarkston Sunrise hopes to raise enough money to fund the project for a year. Both Nick and Alexandria are also suitcases filled with toys, including Beanie Babies supplied by Spring Valley Rotary, as they visit the hospitals. The project is Rotary all the way, since Clarkston Sunrise learned of it from Alexandra’s cousin, who is in president of Neiva Noches Plateñas Rotary—and you can learn more about it by listening to the interview with Past District Governor Nick Constantino on RadioRotary—and learn a little about Nick as well.

The Foundation, which started in the 1980s as a refuse farm for horses, it now is a nationwide advocate for pit bulls and a trainer and supplier of service dogs. It specialized in training dogs for very specific tasks, such as opening doors. Among its programs are training K9 dogs for police departments, dogs that learn to detect drugs or hidden weapons. The Foundation works with inmates at Rikers Island Correctional Facility, where inmates socialize dogs and teach them basic canine manners. The dogs are recruited from animal shelters. If the dog turns out to be resistant to training, the Foundation finds a suitable family to adopt it.

Since 2016 the volunteers of the Veterans Alliance have connected veterans with housing, mental health assistance, physical health needs, financial aid, and other useful services. The volunteers themselves have come together to provide assistance on such tasks as installing water heaters or septic tanks. All of their services are free to veterans of any US war or their families. Veterans often have a difficult time making the transition to civilian life or may have special problems resulting from exposure to toxic agents or enemy fire during their service, so they may need the extra help the Veterans Alliance provides.

The annual Italian-American Festival on the Kingston Waterfront celebrates this heritage with food, music, and Italian-American-themed products—free admission and free parking. It is a project of the Ulster County Italian-American Foundation, whose president, Highland Rotarian Tony Marmo, is this week’s guest on RadioRotary along with Anna Brett, who is chair of the fourth annual festival. The Italian-American Foundation supports its legacy in part with a dozen annual scholarships to college for students with an Italian heritage. The festival not only features many popular Italian food items, but also a wide selection of Italian wines and beers, as well as a spaghetti-eating contest and lessons in pizza-dough tossing.

The money raised each year supports the numerous community activities of Newburgh Rotary, ranging from Meals on Wheels and school supplies for needy children to the Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra. Doug Sturomski is also active in the Peace Pole Project, helping install poles with the message “May peace prevail on Earth” in eight languages around the eight counties of Rotary District 7210. Andrew Ciccone in addition to Rotary duties is on the Board of the Clove Creek Dinner Theater in Fishkill, a frequent venue for charitable fundraisers.

One of the useful services is based in the different specialties of lawyers; the Lawyer Referral Service directs persons in need of legal help to attorneys who specialize in the problem, whether it be patent law; wills, health-care proxies, or power of attorney; real-estate transactions; consumer issues; or criminal matters. The Bar Association is also involved in the continuous education required of licensed attorneys. Every May the Association sponsors the annual Law Day event.

playing blues, rock-and-roll, and jazz (over the two days of the festival). The only cost is for food and drink purchased directly from the Rotary Club, which smokes
its own ribs and barbecues pulled-pork and even bakes the baguettes for sandwiches. They even take care to use a locally raised hog for the pork. In addition to the food, the music by local musicians and stars from the New York Blues Hall of Fame is a big attraction at the outdoor event.

RadioRotary interviews Geoff Miller, Chair of the Steering Committee for the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History, a project of the Jewish Federation of Ulster County. The Center is a museum celebrating all the immigrants who settled the region, not just the Jews, and occupies a 19th-century Jewish bakery that primarily served the immigrants who streamed into America throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum aims to depict immigrant life of that period. The Reher Center, at 99-101 Broadway in the Historic Roundout waterfront of Kingston, New York, is located in the part of Kingston that was originally a small community on the Hudson, while Kingston itself occupied the bluff above the river.

RadioRotary interviews Jonathan Kruk and his wife, film-maker Andrea Sadler Kruk. It is Jonathan who tells the story of the Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow’s Old Dutch Church (among the oldest buildings in the Hudson Valley) every October, and Andrea who has filmed it. The two are both storytellers going well beyond the tale of the Headless Horseman. Jonathan regales audiences many local legends at schools and other venues around the Hudson Valley; Andrea makes documentary films, including The Sacred Run, which combines traditional stories of indigenous peoples from both North America and Japan.

The merged club has both breakfast and lunch meetings, alternating weekly. The club is responsible for Kingston Point Rotary Park, a site of barbecues (barbecue is very important to the club) and the annual Mutt Strutt.
The programs describes many of the activities and good works of the club, including support for the Patriots home for homeless veterans.

In addition to great food and music by local performers, the Ribfest has many activities for children and some special events. The $7 admission (free parking) is waived on Friday night for holders of advance tickets. Features include the Chef Demonstration Tent, where local chefs provide cooking and decorating tips and also offer free samples of the foods being demonstrated.

Kristine Revelle of the American Cancer Society in the Mid-Hudson comes to RadioRotary to discuss the many ways that the Cancer Society is fighting the hundreds of diseases that we lump together as cancer.
The Society emphasizes education about the causes of cancer, advocacy for cancer issues with local and national governments, research on the causes and cures of cancer, and services for the victims of cancer. The Mid-Hudson Region has been at the forefront of cancer=prevent studies since 1959. Ms. Revelle tells listeners ways that they can reduce their risk of developing cancer and outlines resources from the Society to help in recovery. Events, such as the annual Breast Cancer Walk and the campaign “Real Men Wear Pink” help not only to raise money for the Society but also create awareness.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">29:58</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">August 1, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Pleasant-Valley-Weekend-Fun-Aired-on-July-21-and-22--2018-e1t96g"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Pleasant-Valley-Weekend-Fun-Aired-on-July-21-and-22--2018-e1t96g"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Pleasant Valley Weekend Fun (Aired on July 21 and 22, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Mary Albrecht of the Town of Pleasant Valley visits RadioRotary to describe the annual festival known as Pleasant Valley Week end, which has moved from its previous time in September to July.

The specially designed bicycles are strong enough for bumpy rides and easy to

Among their programs are outreach to elementary schools for educating children and to PTAs
and other groups for educating adults. Almost 17,000 children per year are
served, mostly through lessons in schools, ranging from puppet shows for younger children to more formal teaching though grade 6. Child abuse is a major problem but only about one in a thousand children will report it. Everyone who suspects child abuse should call the NYS Central Registry at 1(800) 342-3720 or in case of immediate harm, 911.

From July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2018, that person will be Christine (“Chrissy G.”) Giangrasso of the Highland Rotary Club. DG Giangrasso brings to the District an attitude of “We Can Do It,” inspired by World War II’s Rosy the Riveter, Sylvia Whitlock (first woman Rotarian in 1987), and the women of Rotary—but not leaving out the men of Rotary. Among her goals for the 2018-19 Rotary Year are revving up the fight against opioid addiction and engaging with the 46 Interact clubs of the District. As a member of Highland Rotary as well as DG, she will be involved in that club’s annual fundraiser, the August Ribfest at Ulster Fairgrounds.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:31</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/PUTNAM-COUNTY-4-H-JUNE-16-AND-JUNE-17--2018-e1t8ne"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/PUTNAM-COUNTY-4-H-JUNE-16-AND-JUNE-17--2018-e1t8ne"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>PUTNAM COUNTY 4-H (JUNE 16 AND JUNE 17, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Marjorie Nichols Keith, Executive Director of the Putnam Country Cornell Cooperative Extension, brings 4-H Club member Patrick Salerno to RadioRotary to help tell about the 47th annual Putnam County 4-H Fair at Veteran Memorial Park in Carmel.

This effort began as a Rotary District 2710 grant but now is funded largely by a Rotary Foundation Global Grant, which pays about $105 per family, including the cost of technicians who install the system, teach the family how to use it, and monitor it twice a month thereafter. The Liberty Club is best known for providing and coordinating disaster relief after hurricanes Katrina on the Gulf Coast, Harvey in Houston, and Maria in Puerto Rico, although they also are involved in many local community projects.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:46</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Touch-A-Truck-Aired-on-May-26-and-May-27th--2018-e1t8gq"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Touch-A-Truck-Aired-on-May-26-and-May-27th--2018-e1t8gq"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Touch A Truck (Aired on May 26 and May 27th, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>New Paltz Rotarian Toni Hokanson visits RadioRotary to promote the annual “Touch-a-Truck” fair at Ulster County Fairgrounds.

The only additional expense is for fair food or a helicopter ride. “Touch-a-Truck” is a major fundraiser for New Paltz Rotary, despite the low per person admission (truck exhibitors also support it with entrance fees), which helps support the good works of the club. These include a weekly food-backpack program for children in the New Paltz schools who would otherwise be food deprived and scholarships, including a new 2-year scholarship to SUNY Ulster College for students whose parents did not attend college. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:59</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Safe-Haven-Animal-Shelter--Wild-Life-Center-May-19--2018-e1t8cg"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Safe-Haven-Animal-Shelter--Wild-Life-Center-May-19--2018-e1t8cg"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Safe Haven Animal Shelter & Wild Life Center (May 19, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>New Animal Shelter and Wildlife Rehab (Aired on May 19 and 20, 2018)
Josephine Santoro and Carl Syslo visit RadioRotary to tell about the new Safe Haven Animal Shelter $ Wildlife Center, located in Stormville in southern Dutchess County (Town of Beekman). The first phase of their operation will be to provide a no-kill shelter for injured or orphaned dogs, which can be adopted after any necessary rehab. These dogs will be kept in kennels until adopted, but in the second phase a new building, specially designed for making dogs and cats feel
at home (and not imprisoned) will take over. The original kennel building will be remade for wildlife rehab—Ms. Santoro is a certified wildlife rehabilitator. An important adjunct to the Stormville facility is the Thrift Shop specializing in reselling donated pet-related products and household items. On Saturdays the Thrift Shop houses a Pet-Food Pantry, supplying free pet food to low-income pet owners.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:33</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Our-Rotary-Districts-Peace-Ambassador-Aired-on-May-12-and-13--2018-e1t89a"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Our-Rotary-Districts-Peace-Ambassador-Aired-on-May-12-and-13--2018-e1t89a"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Our Rotary District’s Peace Ambassador (Aired on May 12 and 13, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Greater Newburgh Rotarian Doug Sturomski, the unofficial Peace Ambassador for Rotary District 7210, returns to RadioRotary to report on two projects related to his peace mission.

Ryan observed that villagers needed to bring water in plastic bags to the site where they were working. Further checking revealed that the local well was not only running dry, but its water was not safe to drink in any case. He enlisted the help of his fellow Rotarian Dorothy and together they conceived of a project to help. As a starter, with the aid of the San Miguel El Salvador Rotary they helped the villagers by providing simple filtration systems to improve the little water they had locally. Since then, they have worked toward having a deeper well dug, one thatwould also produce safely filtered water. It is an expensive project (estimated at $80,000) and they are seeking help from other Rotary clubs.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:11</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Clove-Creek-Dinner-Theater-Aired-on-April-21--2018-e1t7uj"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Clove-Creek-Dinner-Theater-Aired-on-April-21--2018-e1t7uj"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Clove Creek Dinner Theater (Aired on April 21, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Dinner Theater in Dutchess Country (Aired on April 21 and 22, 2018) Felicia DiNonno, founder of the Clove Creek Dinner Theater in Fishkill, NY, and Rotarian Andrew Ciccone (Newburgh) visit RadioRotary to tell about the many fundraising opportunities available using the facilities of the dinner theater. Of course, Clove Creek Dinner Theater features new comedy theater every month interspersed with audience-participation mysteries and other special evenings along with dinners prepared by Culinary Institute chefs. Nonprofit organizations can use the shows as fundraisers in several ways. Tickets can be purchased for an evening fundraiser at a reduced rate and then sold at the regular rate or higher, with the organization pocketing the difference. Clove Creek staff will help set up drawings or contests with prizes supplied by the dinner theater and organizations can run their own raffles or silent auctions, taking home all of the money earned. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:00</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Mid-Hudson-Addiction-Recovery-Centers-MARC-Aired-on-April-14-and-15--2018-e1t7tk"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Mid-Hudson-Addiction-Recovery-Centers-MARC-Aired-on-April-14-and-15--2018-e1t7tk"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Mid-Hudson Addiction Recovery Centers (MARC) (Aired on April 14 and 15, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Andrew O’Grady, CEO of the Mid-Hudson Recovery Centers (MARC) and Executive Director of Mental Health America of Dutchess County (MHA) visits RadioRotary to tell about changes at MARC as it finds new ways to improve its mission of residential treatment for alcoholics and other addicts.

Early intervention makes a considerable difference in development; parents recognizing that a child may have a problem should not hesitate about taking the child to a physician for a diagnosis.

At the same street corner (Main and Clinton) every Saturday night, sometimes in rain or snow, Bacchiochi and volunteers distribute food, clothing, and personal care items to homeless women. Bacchiochi was herself a homeless addict before joining a recovery program in 1990. After a brief recurrence of her addiction, she accepted God’s role for her—founding a street-level outreach mission for homeless and addicted women. With the help of her church, she plans someday to acquire a building that would make it easier to carry out the mission. Hope on a Mission HOAM is financed by donations and staffed by volunteers.

Dr. Davey deals mainly with pain management from accidents, operations, and chronic conditions such as arthritis. Pain is nature’s way of telling you that something is not right with your body. Pain is now recognized as partly psychological and partly physical, so relief of stress is an important part of treatment. Although opioids and other medicines can relieve pain, they are at best a short-term solution to a pain event, while physical therapy is a non-addictive long-term approach to relief. Strength and flexibility training will relieve many pains in joints or the back or even headaches caused by tense muscles.

The two Rotary Action Groups (RAGs) are each devoted to worldwide fights against chronic illnesses that not only are rampant in the United States but also are on the increase around the world. Hepatitis C, unrecognized until a few decades ago, is spread only by blood transfers (such as from contaminated needles) and in symptom free—but ultimately kills. There is now an effective cure, so the main emphasis of the RAG called “Hepatitis Zero” is in testing, which only requires a pin-prick blood sample. The other RAG is for knowledge, awareness, prevention, and treatment of diabetes. Diabetes Type II, caused largely by lifestyle, is a growing major health problem worldwide. Another interview on this program tells about skin banks, now mainly in India but needed elsewhere. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:35</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Rotary-Club-of-Millbrook-February-10--11--2018-e1t6n9"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Rotary-Club-of-Millbrook-February-10--11--2018-e1t6n9"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The Rotary Club of Millbrook (February 10 & 11, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Regular RadioRotary Co-host Sarah O’Connell turns guest for a show devoted to her own Rotary Club and its activities. The Rotary Club of Millbrook has been doing good in the world for more than 45 years now. The main way it funds its projects is by providing a service to Millbrook and the surrounding region with a Business Directory. The Directory contains much useful community information, but its real strength comes from the paid advertising, advertising that in turn supports the community as 100% of the profit from the ads is returned to the community. While Millbrook Rotary also has various social events, from weekly lunches with interesting speakers to evening parties, these are paid for by the members—in part by “fines” or “good/bad news” announcement paid for with dollars (and more) deposited in a plastic pig at each meeting. The Rotary Foundation, supported primarily by donations by Rotarians, also contributes to specific projects, recently one providing school supplies.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:19</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-Convention-Atlanta-GA-February-3--2018-Show--10-e1t6lp"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-Convention-Atlanta-GA-February-3--2018-Show--10-e1t6lp"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary Convention Atlanta GA (February 3, 2018) Show # 10</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Once again RadioRotary brings listeners interviews with Rotarians attending the Convention who describe the Rotary programs that have brought them to Atlanta.

Health professionals of all types can be part of the Fellowship of Rotarian Doctors and Health Professionals, which provides opportunities to help solve medical problems for disadvantaged people everywhere.

Of the many astonishing statistics Mr. Schiafo discusses, perhaps the most alarming is that 40% of all the food produced in the United States goes to waste, much of it landing in landfills where it contributes to the production of methane, a global-warming gas. Some of the food is left in the farmers’ fields, where it can be taken and used by gleaning—going through the field by hand and collecting the remaining food. Another waste is food that has been deemed imperfect or ugly in some way, but that is perfectly edible despite the flaws. Listeners will learn about the different interpretations of use-by or sell-by dates. There are many aspects to food recovery and prevention of food waste, with volunteers throughout the Hudson Valley making the effort to get otherwise disposable food into food pantries and shelters.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:46</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Opioid-Abuse-Awareness-and-Prevention-Aired-on-January-20th--21st--2018-e1t6kg"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Opioid-Abuse-Awareness-and-Prevention-Aired-on-January-20th--21st--2018-e1t6kg"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Opioid Abuse Awareness and Prevention (Aired on January 20th & 21st, 2018)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotarian Mike Polasek (LaGrange) reports to the RadioRotary team about a major effort on the part of local Rotary Clubs (LaGrange, Millbrook, Fishkill) to obtain a grant from The Rotary Foundation to fund awareness and prevention programs in the Mid-Hudson Valley, although Mr. Polasek emphasizes that opioid addiction is a worldwide program that affects all ages and all classes. Opioid abuse often starts with an original prescription for pain relief from an injury or surgical procedure, but the drug becomes a necessity for the person addicted, a
person who then may seek out street drugs to replace the prescription. The result is not only the misery of addiction but often overdose and death.

Many older Americans prefer to stay in their existing homes instead of moving into assisted-living communities or nursing homes. Sometimes the physical infirmities of aging mean that homes need to be modified for safer living; in other instances, simple tasks such as mounting storm windows in the fall have become too difficult for an aging homeowner. In Rhinebeck, NY, the Rhinebeck Community Committee on Aging recognized this problem and committee members who were also Rotarians asked their club to help. Today Rhinebeck Rotarians who are skilled in carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work volunteer to solve these problems for senior citizens at no cost for materials or labor. Grab bars are installed in bathrooms and railings on stairs as needed. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:01</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Atlanta-2017-Rotary-Convention--part-7-December-16--2017-e1t6gt"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Atlanta-2017-Rotary-Convention--part-7-December-16--2017-e1t6gt"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Atlanta 2017 Rotary Convention, part 7 (December 16, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Continuing its broadcasts from the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta, RadioRotary Co-Hosts Jonah Triebwasser and Sarah O’Connell interview representatives of several of the many exhibits featured at the Convention. “The One” Rotary Action Group presents an award of $100,000 to the International Humanitarian of the year along with $50,000 each to two runners-up, enabling these humanitarians to increase their work with the poor of the world.

Dinner Theater provides an evening (or afternoon matinee) that begins with a full meal, which is followed by a full theatrical performance—you don’t eat or drink while you watch as in a nightclub or cabaret. There have been a number of dinner theaters in nearby countries, but none here until a couple of years ago Ms. DiNonno took a space in a mall in Fishkill and opened Clove Creek. It is very much a local attraction.

One of the many Rotary Action Groups is “Stop Mothers Dying,” a Collaborative Action in lowering Maternity Encountered Deaths (CALMED). This program helps physicians, nurses, and midwives learn to anticipate problems of childbirth. It is not just the mothers who are saved in Third World countries, since maternal deaths have been on the rise in the United States as well. Another Rotary-related group discussed is taking African women .sex workers, giving them sewing machines, and making them into entrepreneurs, producing shirts that are sold at Rotary conventions. Although not a Rotary program per se., the Gift of Life, which supplies hope to children with heart disease through pediatric cardiology, also was represented at the Convention.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:17</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 29, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotarian-Bryan-Bunch-On-The-Environment-November-25--2017-e1t6fd"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotarian-Bryan-Bunch-On-The-Environment-November-25--2017-e1t6fd"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotarian Bryan Bunch On The Environment (November 25, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary Efforts to Deal with Climate Change (Aired on November 25 and 26, 2014) RadioRotary producer Kathy Kruger interviews Rotarian Bryan Bunch (Millbrook), a member of the Rotary District 7210 Environmental Action Committee, which has as its main mission this year promoting tree-planting, a major goal of 2017-18 Rotary International.

In this RadioRotary interview, the farm’s Executive Director Mark Fredette, who is also the chef for the farm,describes the many educational programs run by the farm, including a sleepover camp, a day camp, and arrangements for schools to visit as field trips, often staying overnight. The farm’s cows and goats produce milk that is made into delicious cheeses that are sold locally and at the farm.

In this program a family from one country exchanges for a few weeks or a month with a family from the other country. This is different from the regular school-year exchange in which the student who is incoming from another country or outgoing to one stays with three different host families; there is no reciprocal arrangement. The school-year exchange includes learning the language of the country visited, which is not a part of the short-term exchange.

The Foundation is similar to a Rotary Club in that it primarily raises money to give back to the community, especially in scholarships for Italian-American high-school students to attend college. The Festival features many vendors purveying Italian foods to eat on the spot or to take home as well as other goods. There is Italian music from folk songs to opera (not to mention Sinatra songs) and dances, such as the famous tarantella. The Italian Signor and Signora of the year are presented.

Pilates is a system of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates that uses springs and special equipment to promote overall health (although you can also do much of the program at home without the equipment). Ms. Streifeneder came to Pilates from a career as a dancer, and now runs Pilates studios in Kingston and Catskill, NY. The Pink Ribbon Program is primarily for coping with the ravages of breast cancer and its treatment, but because it enhances energy levels and decreases pain and stress, it is useful for all cancer patients. At Body be Well Pilates, each person has a program that is designed for the individual, based on health history, goals, and past exercise experience.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:30</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Pleasant-Valley-Weekend-September-9-and-September-10--2017-e1t4mi"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Pleasant-Valley-Weekend-September-9-and-September-10--2017-e1t4mi"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Pleasant Valley Weekend (September 9 and September 10, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>For many years, the Town of Pleasant Valley has celebrated itself as a
community on a weekend in September. Recently the celebrations, known as “Pleasant Valley Weekend,” have been better than ever. Pleasant Valley Rotarian Carol Campbell revitalized the event when she was Town Supervisor in 2015, asking singer Johnny Dell to help get it organized. In this program RadioRotary interviews Ms. Campbell and Mr. Dell about the 2017 Pleasant Valley Weekend, which features three separate parades, many food and information booths at Cady Field (along Wappingers Creek just behind Town Hall), live music and dance, and a fireworks finale on Sunday. The Friday evening parade is vintage cars, the Saturday parade consists of over a hundred motorcycles, and on Sunday there is a traditional parade with fire engines, winners of the vintage car show, many marching groups, and a marching band. It is a great all-American event.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:09</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Tyler-Miller-of-New-Horizons-September-2--2017-e1t4lh"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Tyler-Miller-of-New-Horizons-September-2--2017-e1t4lh"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Tyler Miller of New Horizons (September 2, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Tyler Miller, a Direct Support Professional with New Horizons Resources, Inc., is interviewed about the New Horizons program for group homes in Dutchess and Ulster counties.

Although we often think of 4-H in terms of young people raising livestock, Grace explains that the club helps teach leadership and life skills —“it’s not all about cows and cooking.” The Fair is a big family event with food booths, music, a plant sale, horse and dog shows, an auction, and activities such as Touch a Truck and a fishing contest. Putnam Country Rotary Clubs often sponsor tents at the Fair.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:43</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Renewal-for-91-Year-Old-Scout-Camp-June-15-and-16--2017-e1t472"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Renewal-for-91-Year-Old-Scout-Camp-June-15-and-16--2017-e1t472"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Renewal for 91-Year-Old Scout Camp (June 15 and 16, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Camp Nooteeming in Pleasant Valley has been serving the scouting community for 91 years, but newly arrived Scout Executive/CEO for the Hudson Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America, David Horton, recognized that the Camp is in serious need of renovation to become a resident camp. Volunteer Dave Petrovich has taken charge of the project. Together for a joint interview on RadioRotary, they describe plans to set up camping centers for specific topics, events, and skills, including centers devoted to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); shooting sports; the environment; crafts; and more. Scouts, including Cub Scouts as young as age 5 and Girl Scouts, will use the renovated facilities along with other community groups. In an interesting sidelight, Program Co-Host Jonah Triebwasser tells about how Rotary and scouting have been linked since the earliest days of both service organizations.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:35</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Anne-Brueckner--Nina-Lynch--Rhinebeck--Home-July-8--2017-e1t46a"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Anne-Brueckner--Nina-Lynch--Rhinebeck--Home-July-8--2017-e1t46a"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Anne Brueckner & Nina Lynch, Rhinebeck @ Home (July 8, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Although Rhinebeck at Home is one more of than over 200 “aging in place” organizations, it has no age limit—current members range from 58 to 97 years young—and its roster of group activities include events for people of all ages.

Beyond to the joint pains that we commonly think of when seeking physical therapy, the techniques are also useful for treating severe headaches, the chronic pain of fibromyalgia, and the pain from tendon, ligament, or muscle damage, which is often caused by sports injury. In many cases, the key to pain relief comes from
posture improvement, stress relief, and lifestyle changes that are addressed by a doctor trained in physical therapy. A medical doctor may prescribe physical therapy, but a prescription is not necessary to obtain treatment.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:34</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Bunnee-Web-Tribute-Show-Aired-on-June-24--2017-and-June-25th--2017-e1t3ts"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Bunnee-Web-Tribute-Show-Aired-on-June-24--2017-and-June-25th--2017-e1t3ts"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Bunnee Web Tribute Show (Aired on June 24, 2017 and June 25th, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>This is a repeat broadcast in honor of Bunnee Webb, who led District 7210’s campaign to eradicate polio, part of a worldwide effort that involved not only Rotary, but also the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, several United Nations organizations, and governments in the affected areas. Ms. Webb, a past District Governor of Rotary District 7210 (2000-01) and a member of the Congers-Valley Cottage Rotary Club, inspired all who knew her, especially for her dedication to polio eradication. She died on May 23, 2017, at the age of 89. By then the PolioPlus campaign was “this close” to polio eradication, with only 20 known cases of the disease in 2016—although Ms. Webb would never say “only.” When this 2010 show was originally broadcast, there were 349 total cases, down from 52,630 in 1980.

Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that ranges from what is commonly called Asperger Syndrome, which may be accompanied by high intelligence, to instances of autism that feature very low intelligence and serious disability. Early intervention makes a considerable difference in development; parents recognizing that a child may have a problem should not hesitate about taking the child to a physician for diagnosis. The Anderson Foundation provides a range of autism services, including residential treatment and consultation with families. One program helps businesses develop an autism supportive environment that can modify practices so that persons on the autism spectrum can feel more comfortable.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:58</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Learning-Lab-with-Amy-Shapiro-June-3-2016-and-4-2017-e1t3nd"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Learning-Lab-with-Amy-Shapiro-June-3-2016-and-4-2017-e1t3nd"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Learning Lab with Amy Shapiro (June 3 2016 and 4 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews librarian Amy Shapiro , who supervises the Mahopac Library Learning Lab, a multigenerational learning center focused on technical help for computers, smartphones, or other electronic devices.

Elder abuse can be psychological, financial, sexual, physical, or simply neglectful. It is more of an issue today than in the past because people are living longer, but families no longer have several generations living in the same location. Isolated elders, many suffering from mild to serious dementia, can be easy prey for caregivers of various kinds. Friends of Seniors does not deal directly with elder abuse, but provides medical transportation, grocery shopping, caregiver respite, and similar services through trustworthy volunteers. Evercare is a certified home health care agency that also offers a managed long-term care plan through Medicaid as well as an adult social day program.

Rotarian Dave Wright is in charge of the 2017 Apple Blossom Day, the street festival that traditionally kicks off the spring-summer season of activity, as it has done for more than 30 years (the last 17 operated by Red Hook Rotary). In addition to several dance and music performances on the stage erected for this event, there are about a hundred craft vendors, very many food vendors, and—for the children—pony rides, a bouncy house, face painting, and a petting zoo. Rotarian Susan Simon is in charge of the hot-dog grill. The Rotary club does much more
then the annual Apple Blossom Day. Rotarian Linda Greenblatt speaks about the Red Hook Business Directory and about the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA). Rotarian Christine Chale describes Red Hook’s participation in international Youth Exchange.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:15</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Sparrows-Nest-Aired-On-April-22nd-and-April-23rd--2017-e1t314"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Sparrows-Nest-Aired-On-April-22nd-and-April-23rd--2017-e1t314"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Sparrows Nest (Aired On April 22nd and April 23rd, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Krista Jones returns to RadioRotary with exciting news about developments at Sparrow’s Nest, the charity that provides food to the families of persons who have cancer. Ms. Jones started the charity in 2009 when a good friend was dying of colon cancer, providing meals that Ms. Jones left at the doorstep; soon Ms. Jones learned of four other friends with cancer and began to cook for them as well. Seeing the need, she then formed Sparrow’s Nest with many volunteers helping in the mission. Today Sparrow’s Nest has moved from Ms. Jones’ kitchen to a professional kitchen and office in commercial space, feeding about 500 families—not just moms–in Dutchess and nearby counties.

After covering over $73,000 in out-of-pocket expenses for his family, that child in now eighteen and cancer free. Since that start, Love Holds Life has helped finance cancer treatment for over twenty children, financed by donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, and local organizations, including Rotary. Donors have a choice of supporting the Family Medical Fund, 100% of that money going to the affected families, or the Legacy Fund that supports the operating costs of the foundation—sponsors can choose to support both, also.

come to the RadioRotary studio to discuss the beautiful gardens they
help tend at the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site in Hyde Park,
NY.
The Vanderbilt Mansion was the impressive summer “cottage” of Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt. Frederick maintained and improved the formal gardens on the site in the early 20th century, but after Frederick died in 1938 there were no buyers for the property. President Franklin Roosevelt, a neighbor, arranged to have the estate made into a national historic site, but during World War II the site languished Although there was money to restore the brickwork for the formal gardens, the gardens themselves were not replanted until 1984, when
three volunteers approached the Park Service about taking it over.
Today volunteers plant about 6,000 annual flowers each year and maintain the cherry trees. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:20</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Missionary-Rose-on-Haiti-Aired-3-25-17--3-26-17-e1t1m4"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Missionary-Rose-on-Haiti-Aired-3-25-17--3-26-17-e1t1m4"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Missionary Rose on Haiti (Aired 3-25-17 & 3-26-17)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>In 2010, Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake.

Both Bonheurs had been born in Haiti, although they came to the United States as children. Rose was skeptical at first, but eventually organized a team of six volunteers and found a house in Haiti where they team could treat those in need. The need was immense, so every year since, Rose has found the donations, the medical supplies, and the volunteers to treat about 800 patients, moving to a different locality where there had previously been no medical care in the past. Recently, recognizing thatRotary handles projects like this all over the world, Rose has joined the Pleasant Valley Rotary Club.

and stayed with him through his career in business and law, his battle with polio, his New York State governorship (1928-32), and the first years of his presidency, only leaving him by dying in July 1944, nine months before Roosevelt also passed away.

Have Fun.” His interview is followed by chats with students from Red Hook Interact and Rhinebeck Interact clubs, along with Linda Greenblatt, a Rotarian advisor to the Red Hook Club. Interact Clubs in high schools are sponsored by, but run independently from, a local Rotary Club; their mission is the same as Mr. Turpin proposes, doing good and having fun. Another set of interviews brings Millbrook Rotarian Kim Sweck , who supervises Rotary Youth Exchange for Millbrook, and two of the students who have come from Italy and Brazil to spend a school year in the United States. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:12</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 28, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Citizen-Preparedness-Aired-on-Feb-25--Feb-26-2017-e1t1a9"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Citizen-Preparedness-Aired-on-Feb-25--Feb-26-2017-e1t1a9"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Citizen Preparedness (Aired on Feb 25 & Feb 26 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interview Lieutenants Brett White and Thomas Frost of the
Citizens Preparedness Corp of the New York State National Guard. Their task is to present programs encouraging people to become prepared for encountering a disaster, whether it is natural (such as floods, storms, or fires), criminal (such as a terrorist attack), or technological (such as a power blackout). Although the disasters vary widely, many of the same steps can be taken to minimize their negative impacts. The main element is to have a plan, one that includes a central meeting place for family members and a survival kit that includes not only food and water stored for household use, but also a “go bag” of necessary supplies to take with you if you need to flee. This is one of those programs that could someday save your live or the lives of your loved ones.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:14</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 27, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Talking-Shelterbox-Aired-on-Feb-18-and-19--2017-e1t184"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Talking-Shelterbox-Aired-on-Feb-18-and-19--2017-e1t184"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Talking Shelterbox (Aired on Feb 18 and 19, 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>ShelterBox is a major initiative for disaster relief that is affiliated with Rotary International. Simply put, a ShelterBox is a tent and necessary supplies for up to ten people, all packed into a waterproof one-meter plastic cube. That is a good thing, but what makes ShelterBox effective in disaster relief are trained teams that can bring the ShelterBox cubes to the site of a disaster and teach locals how to use them. Because most cities and towns around the world have Rotary clubs, the ShelterBox teams have connections even in remote sites, such as the mountains of Nepal or smaller cities in Haiti, which enables the team to get the equipment to the right place faster than practically any other relief organization. Many Rotary clubs in District 7210 provide the $1,000 per box it takes to assemble a ShelterBox.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:01</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 27, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/UN-SHOW--2-Aired-on-Feb-4-and-Feb-5-2017-e1t16q"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/UN-SHOW--2-Aired-on-Feb-4-and-Feb-5-2017-e1t16q"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>UN SHOW # 2 (Aired on Feb 4 and Feb 5 2017)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Once again, RadioRotary takes its microphone to Rotary Day at the United Nations for a series of interviews with persons from organizations “doing good in the world.” Lakeway/Lake Travis (TX) Rotarian Barker Keith discusses the Rotary 3D Limbs project, which is using 3D printing to produce prosthetics, especially new legs, for amputees, especially in Africa.

A Death Café is a gathering of a few people in a home, a church, a restaurant, or other venue where the conversation over tea or coffee and cake is all about dying. Our population is growing older every year and death will come to all of us—many who are not very old die as well—but few are prepared for it and many don’t even want to think or talk about it. The Death Café experience, often with a speaker, is offered about once a month at various locations around Ulster and Dutchess counties. A new project for the Circle of Friends for the Dying is a home in Kingston where a person who lives alone and is close to dying will be able to live with one or two others, which many would prefer to dying in a hospital or nursing home or dying alone at home.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:25</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 26, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/New-Years-Eve-Millbrook-Aired-on-December-17-and-18--2016-e1sq17"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/New-Years-Eve-Millbrook-Aired-on-December-17-and-18--2016-e1sq17"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>New Year’s Eve Millbrook (Aired on December 17 and 18, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotarian

individuals fund the free event, but it is run almost entirely by volunteers from Millbrook Rotary. Each year patrons can donate a small sum to obtain a lighted button that incorporates a design by a local student. The RadioRotary interview also describes some of the

The caller says that the person receiving the call is delinquent on back taxes and must pay immediately or will be sent to jail. Such a call is always a scam—the IRS does not phone delinquent payers. Another common phone scam aimed at the elderly is for the caller to pretend to be a grandchild in trouble. One clue is that the caller asks for money to be sent as a prepaid card or wired to an address that can be a drop-off. Many more scams, and how to avoid them, are discussed.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:18</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 26, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Help-for-Adult-Developmentally-Disabled-Aired-on-November-4-and-5--2016-e1spuo"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Help-for-Adult-Developmentally-Disabled-Aired-on-November-4-and-5--2016-e1spuo"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Help for Adult Developmentally Disabled (Aired on November 4 and 5, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Holly Gaiman, Development Coordinator at InFlight, Inc., which supplies residential facilities, including group homes and apartments, for people with developmental disabilities.

In response to the September 11, 2001, attack Andrew Meade, director of
international students at Vassar College, and his wife Lila wanted to start a
project that would do good in the world. Both had family ties to Haiti, the poorest
nation in the Western Hemisphere, so that is where their impulse took them. For
fifteen years, the Vassar-Haiti project the started and still direct has improved the
lives of Haitians in the remote village of Chermaitre, starting with building and
staffing a school. Today Chermaitre and the surrounding area is also served by a clinic that is part of the project. Vassar junior Clairiola Etienne, who is the director of the health initiative, and Lila Meade are the guests on RadioRotary for this program.

At the time of this broadcast, as a result of a vaccination program carried out largely by Rotarian volunteers polio had been eliminated everywhere but for two nations: Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Chief Waage has followed this philosophy from the 2012 start of his work in Lloyd, focusing especially on helping children (and their parents) and senior citizens. The Lloyd Police, working on their own time, produce or participate in fundraising events for local needs.

Estimates are that 20% of food is wasted in the United States, while in Poughkeepsie more than half the students in elementary or high school are at a poverty level that makes them eligible for free lunches.

Zika has been known in the Old World since the 1940s but did not reach the Western Hemisphere until 2014, when travelers brought it to Brazil. It has since spread widely through South America, the Caribbean, and some neighborhoods in Florida. Zika is carried from person to person primarily by two species of tropical and subtropical mosquitoes that are daytime biters and to a lesser degree by sexual relations. About 80% of humans infected show mild symptoms or none, but the disease can cause severe damage to an unborn child if the mother is infected. The main concern has been microcephaly, which results in an abnormally small skull and likely brain damage.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">22:34</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Sachem-Hawk-Storm-of-Schaghticokes-September-17--2016-e1si0l"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Sachem-Hawk-Storm-of-Schaghticokes-September-17--2016-e1si0l"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Sachem Hawk Storm of Schaghticokes (September 17, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Robert Hawk Storm Birch, known primarily by his Native American name, Hawk Storm, given to him by his grandfather when he was five.

For about forty years, one of these celebrations has been Pleasant Valley Weekend in the hamlet and town of Pleasant Valley. In this interview, Pleasant Valley Rotarian (and RadioRotary producer) Kathy Kruger tells about the Pleasant Valley Weekend of 2016. This was the 20th anniversary of the Rotary rubber-duck race in Wappingers Creek, a popular fundraiser. Pleasant Valley Rotary also runs the beer tent, one of the many sources of food and drink at the Friday through Sunday festival. There are carnival rides, several parades, community booths of all kinds, and fireworks at the end, all accompanied by music by several local bands.

Rotarians for Hearing has a grant from the Rotary Foundation that covers hearing tests for newborns in Guatemala. An electronic device checks the baby’s ears to see if they are working properly; babies with difficulties are sent to Guatemala City for brain scans that reveal hearing problems in detail. It is important to get to children before the age of six, because older children who have never heard language then fail to learn it. There is much more of interest on this program—how Ms. Haggerty became involved in hearing about how she has traveled the world as a member of the Travel and Hosting Rotary Fellowship.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:55</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Highland-Rotarys-12th-Annual-Ribfest-August-13--14--2016-e1shm7"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Highland-Rotarys-12th-Annual-Ribfest-August-13--14--2016-e1shm7"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Highland Rotary’s 12th Annual Ribfest (August 13 & 14, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Highland Rotary Club’s Steve Laubach and Don Verity concerning the 12th annual Hudson Valley Ribfest, one of the major summer events in the Hudson Valley and voted one of the “must-go-to” festivals in the United States.

Her life took a turn for the better in 2011, when—30 pounds overweight—she face possible surgery, but decided to practice healthy eating and a better lifestyle instead.

Their involvement in Willy Gilly Productions, the Acting Anyone Academy, and The Academy of Film Television Stage and Performing Arts also manages to entail Rotary connections in various ways.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:31</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-Youth-Interact--Youth-Exchange-May-21--22--2016-e1sgpd"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-Youth-Interact--Youth-Exchange-May-21--22--2016-e1sgpd"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary Youth: Interact & Youth Exchange (May 21 & 22, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>In a live show at Millbrook Rotary RadioRotary interviews George Ouimet, this year’s president of the Millbrook High Interact Club, and Luisa Pereira, this year’s incoming Youth Exchange (YEX) student to Millbrook Rotary. Ouimet describes recent projects of Interact, including two canned food drives, two recent blood drives, the Purple Pinkie Project, and the Scott Meyer Memorial 5K Run. George joined Interact in his sophomore year because he wanted to give back to his community. Luisa Pereira competed with 180 other students to become a YEX representative from Brazil. Being a YEX student and living with three families in the Millbrook School District for a whole school year is not the entire exchange experience. She has traveled to Vermont, Connecticut, and New Jersey, and visited New York City several times.

Rotary was only eleven years old itself when the Kingston Club was chartered by the Association of Rotary Clubs (which became Rotary International six years later). By then Rotary was active in Great Britain, Canada, and had its first non-English-speaking club in Havana, Cuba. The Kingston Rotary also became one of the first to admit women as members, beginning with Nuise Bhityakul and two other women in February 1988. Nuise is still an active member and brings many benefits from her association with Thailand to the club. Kingston Rotary meets each week for lunch, but for those who cannot attend a lunch, the Kingston Sunrise Club meets weekly for breakfast.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:54</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Apple-Blossom-Day-in-Red-Hook-Aired-on-April-30--May-1--2016-e1sgm1"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Apple-Blossom-Day-in-Red-Hook-Aired-on-April-30--May-1--2016-e1sgm1"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Apple Blossom Day in Red Hook (Aired on April 30 & May 1, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Once again RadioRotary travels to the Red Hook Rotary Club for a live broadcast from the Bread and Bottle Bakery and Wine Bar.

(MARC) and Laurie Quinn (Philmont Rotary Club), a director of the MARC Foundation. A main problem facing MARC and the entire nation is the heroin and opiate epidemic. Currently in the United States 129 persons each day die from a heroin or opiate overdose. MARC is a residential program that both sends persons with addiction to other appropriate facilities as needed and houses and treats the addicted in several ways—A Crisis Center, three residential treatment centers, and nearly 30 sober housing apartments. Ms. Quinn is trying to help erase the stigma of drug addiction by shining a light on the problem. She tells the story of her son Eric: About a year ago he showed his mother needle tracks on his arms and said he needed help. At that point, despite holding down two jobs, he was using ten bags of heroin daily. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:23</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Faith-House-to-Help-Pregnant-Girls-April-16--17--2016-e1sgke"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Faith-House-to-Help-Pregnant-Girls-April-16--17--2016-e1sgke"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Faith House to Help Pregnant Girls (April 16 & 17, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Crystal Snow-Hebel is one of the co-founders of Faith House (Linda Arzu is the other), a proposed maternity home for 18- to 24-year old girls and their newborn children.

Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that is released from rocks of all kinds, but especially from granite or dark shales found in the Hudson Valley. Radon in the air is the second leading cause of lung cancer (and adds to the risk of cancer in smokers), while radon in water can increase the risk of stomach cancer and may also be released into the air. Testing is the only way that you can tell whether or not radon is present in dangerous levels. Mr. Christophides recommends testing every two years, since levels can change based on seismic activity, changes in structures, or other factors. If a test reveals excess radon, remediation usually consists of suctioning air away before it can enter the house.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:15</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Dutchess-Office-of-the-Aging-Aired-on-March-5--6--2016-e1sgbv"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Dutchess-Office-of-the-Aging-Aired-on-March-5--6--2016-e1sgbv"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Dutchess Office of the Aging (Aired on March 5 & 6, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Maggie Kwet, the Aging Information Services Specialist at the Dutchess County Office of the Aging, on the many services provided for seniors in the County, which deal with health, the law, transportation, home care, food, energy and heating, grandparenting, and more.

The Graduate Vocal Arts Program owes its existence to the renowned soprano Dawn Upshaw, who developed and directs it. Performances by students, faculty, and guest artists occur throughout the year at Bard, some of them free and many at the famed Fisher Center designed by Frank Gehry. Every two years, the Vocal Arts Program mounts an opera for the public, complete with a full orchestra accompaniment.

Lyme Disease is one of several tick-borne illnesses that are widespread in the Hudson Valley. Many believe that when it fails to be cured either by no treatment or inadequate treatment, it becomes chronic Lyme Disease. Chronic Lyme Disease, which is not recognized by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), may affect those afflicted years after the initial infection. Symptoms can include arthritis, fatigue, mental fogginess, and impaired vision. The black-legged ticks that carry the disease from other mammals, such as deer and white-footed mice, often attach themselves to human hosts in the nymph stage, when they are about the size of a sesame seed. In about a quarter of the infections, a characteristic “bulls-eye” rash forms at the site of the infection.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:25</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Backpack-Snack-Attack-Aired-on-January-23--24--2016-e1sg1m"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Backpack-Snack-Attack-Aired-on-January-23--24--2016-e1sg1m"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Backpack Snack Attack (Aired on January 23 & 24, 2016)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Sue Puett, Executive Director of Warwick Reformed Church’s Backpack Snack Attack program, and Warwick Valley Rotarian Stan Martin about this effective approach to making sure that children who receive free lunches at school during the week do not go hungry on weekends.

As with other parts of the United States, Poughkeepsie is undergoing a wave of addiction spurred by the introduction of powerful opiate pain relievers and the availability of cheap heroin. In the late 1980s, Bacchiochi was herself an addict, but in 1990 she entered recovery programs. With the help of her church, she hope someday to open a storefront that would make it easier to carry out her mission.

In 2000, Hassan chaperoned a school trip to a local food pantry and was astonished by how many were going hungry in his prosperous New Jersey community. He says that in his tradition, you are not supposed to go to sleep if your neighbor is hungry, so he began to work on ways to alleviate the problem. As he traveled from place to place around the United States, helping to set up food pantries, he realized that many of the hungry homeless lack transportation to get to the food pantries, so he created a volunteer program that would bring healthy food to where the homeless lived, beneath bridges or in doorways. Hunger Vans now operate in cities all over the United States. Hassan was in the Hudson Valley to help inaugurate the Hunger Van program in Poughkeepsie.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:20</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/New-Years-Eve-Millbrook-Aired-on-December-19--20--2015-e1sft8"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/New-Years-Eve-Millbrook-Aired-on-December-19--20--2015-e1sft8"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>New Year’s Eve Millbrook (Aired on December 19 & 20, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Millbrook Rotarian Joyce Heaton describes this year’s New Year’s Eve Millbrook a community event that is family friendly and alcohol free. Twelve years earlier, the Rotary Club of Millbrook was seeking a way to help bring the village and environs together as a community. In October of that year, Joyce—who was aware of First Night Celebrations in Boston and elsewhere—proposed that the club sponsor a New Year’s Eve celebration of music and events directed at children. That December saw the first celebration. Some of the music acts from that first occasion—jazz pianist Larry Ham and the Handman Family strings—have been featured every year since, while other popular favorites such as the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, Metropolitan Klezmer, and ragtime-and-blues piano scholar Peter Muir, have been present many times. A popular feature of New Year’s Eve Millbrook are the lighted buttons designed by local students. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:26</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/UN-Rotary-Day-2015Part-One-Aired-on-December-12--13--2015-e1sfrd"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/UN-Rotary-Day-2015Part-One-Aired-on-December-12--13--2015-e1sfrd"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>UN Rotary Day 2015—Part One (Aired on December 12 & 13, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary has had a unique role in the United Nations starting even before the UN was founded.

Originally detected as a change in a mole, her cancer showed up later in lymph nodes, but was arrested by a combination of surgery and interferon, a drug that stimulates the immune system to attack cancer. A basic step to avoid skin cancers is to protect your skin from the ultraviolet components of sunlight and from artificial tanning—hats and other clothing on sunny days and application of sunscreen before exposure are the first lines of defense. Changes in moles, persistent bleeding, and “floaters” in vision are among the signs that need medical attention.

The walks, which take place at various locations around 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the fall, are only a mile or two, and provide a chance for friends, families, and others to act as a community while raising money for research.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:08</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Dutchess-Outreach-Fighting-Hunger-and-Cold-Aired-on-October-10--11--2015-e1sf5r"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Dutchess-Outreach-Fighting-Hunger-and-Cold-Aired-on-October-10--11--2015-e1sf5r"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Dutchess Outreach: Fighting Hunger and Cold (Aired on October 10 & 11, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The name “Dutchess Outreach” does not tell much about the organization’s mission, which is to meet the basic needs of low-income people when no other resources are readily available.

Elsewhere in Vietnam, they have built two more schools, and they have embarked on programs in Jamaica, Honduras, and Ghana as well. Today the schools they built in Vietnam have more than 500 students in grades K-6 and, with the help of Rotary District 7210, they are working toward expanding the original school to take in another 500.

While the letters SPCA stand for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals, most people think of the Dutchess County SPCA largely in terms of pet adoptions (and they do handle this for all kinds of pets, including birds, rabbits, rats, and Guinea pigs, as well as dogs and cats), but there are many other services. A low-cost clinic, open to the public, provides routine veterinarian care for all sorts of pets. There is outreach to schools, humane law enforcement, a pet cemetery and crematorium, and a lost and found service. There is even a Pet Pantry, a food bank for pet food.

When addicts can no longer obtain their pills, they often turn to heroin, a cheaper street opiate—in fact, it is so cheap that many who could still purchase prescription pills also switch to heroin. Among the many problems caused by using either kind of opiate is overdose, which frequently leads to death. Susan Salomone’s son Justin, who struggled with opiate addiction for ten years, was among those who died from an overdose, leading Mrs. Salomone to start “Drug Crisis in Our Backyard,” a community action organization that provides resources for dealing with addiction. In this RadioRotary interview, Mrs. Salomone tells Justin’s story and presents the facts about opiate addiction.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:58</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 25, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Reading-and-Writing-Help-Aired-on-September-5--6--2015-e1se19"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Reading-and-Writing-Help-Aired-on-September-5--6--2015-e1se19"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Reading and Writing Help (Aired on September 5 & 6, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Marisol Rodriguez, Executive Director of Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley, a nonprofit using local volunteers to help people to read, write, and reach their potential.

Literacy Connections trained volunteers work one-on-one with the functionally illiterate to teach them the specific skills they need for a given goal, such as passing a driver’s test. They also can teach English as a Second Language (ESL). Before a learner enters the program—which is free—they are evaluated by certified testers to determine the specific source of their difficulties.

In 1981 Wappingers Falls Rotarian Nick Johnson and his wife Josephine, a severely damaged victim of a drunk driver, decided to do what they could to reduce the drunk-driving toll, starting Dutchess Country RID (Remove Intoxicated Drivers), a chapter of RID-USA. On this program Mr. Johnson and RID volunteer Rich Silva describe tools used to keep intoxicated drivers from repeating their crime and ways that parents can reduce the risk that their children will be perpetrators or victims. They also describe the annual events that Dutchess RID sponsors as memorials to victims, as well as a fundraiser featuring antique automobiles.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:50</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 24, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Stop-Dieting-and-Start-Living-Aired-on-July-16--17--2015-e1s73k"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Stop-Dieting-and-Start-Living-Aired-on-July-16--17--2015-e1s73k"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Stop Dieting and Start Living (Aired on July 16 & 17, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Radio Rotary Interviews Certified Holistic Health Coach and Millbrook Rotarian Ellie Savoy, author of Stop Dieting Start Living: 5 Foundations for Your Health, to Permanently Lose Weight Without Dieting, Starvation or Suffering in Silence.

In this program, Attorney Betsy Shequine explains why mediation is a cheaper, faster, and more successful way to end a marriage than litigation for divorce. Trained mediators, such as Ms. Shequine, teach the participants how to speak to each other as they resolve the complications of division of finances, care of children, and financial support after divorce. Mediators who handle divorce are usually lawyers themselves, while other trained mediators who deal with issues such as property disputes may be psychologists or social workers. A phone call to 845-471-6167 costs nothing and provides a way for the process to be explained. For later sessions, including the initial consultation meeting, the parties are charged on a per-session basis.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:09</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 24, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Saving-Children-in-Nepal-Aired-on-June-27--28--2015-e1s6oj"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Saving-Children-in-Nepal-Aired-on-June-27--28--2015-e1s6oj"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Saving Children in Nepal (Aired on June 27 & 28, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Even before devastating earthquakes hit Nepal and surrounding territory in April and May of 2015, the plight of numerous children in that Himalayan nation was desperate.

Ms. Di Pietro first encountered art when she suffered a near fatal illness as a child; the nurses at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City had set up an art corner for their young patients. She determined then to become a visual artist, which became her career until September 11, 2001. After the World Trade Center collapse, witnessed by many children, there was a call for art therapists to help these children recover. Ms. De Pietro went back to school and became an art therapist, someone who uses art to help subjects uncover and understand their own problems. Her book chronicles what she learned from four of the boys who had been abandoned by their own families as she worked with them.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:31</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 24, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/7th-Annual-Millbrook-Literary-Festival-May-16--17--2015-e1s62h"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/7th-Annual-Millbrook-Literary-Festival-May-16--17--2015-e1s62h"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>7th Annual Millbrook Literary Festival (May 16 & 17, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Authors Bryan Bunch (Millbrook Rotary), and Tim Tocher discuss the seventh annual Millbrook Literary Festival with co-hosts Jonah Triebwasser and Sara O’Connell.

Before 1996, most hospital and other medical records were kept on paper and were easily available to persons other than a patient’s doctor and the patient. As part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) and its later extensions, the privacy of medical information is assured and kept in electronic form. Pain Point IT Solutions as part of its services helps medical providers and their business associates follow the rules, which are enforced by a 164-point audit by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources. One problem of special significance is disaster recovery of information; even though all information has been backed up, without help it may require days to restore it.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:22</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 24, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Red-Hooks-Apple-Blossom-Festival-Aired-on-May-2--3--2015-e1s5r4"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Red-Hooks-Apple-Blossom-Festival-Aired-on-May-2--3--2015-e1s5r4"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Red Hook’s Apple Blossom Festival (Aired on May 2 & 3, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Co-Hosts Jonah Triebwasser and Sarah O’Connell travel to the regular meeting of the Red Hook Rotary as it plans for the annual Red Hook Apple Blossom Festival, a village-wide celebration of the coming of summer that features food booths, sales in local stores, entertainment, political candidates, baby animals, face painting, balloons, and more.

In New York State there is no requirement for a day off, so most workers labor for seven days each week during the harvest season.

Other issues discussed include the causes of cancer, the need in the U.S. for more health workers of all kinds, and what steps are necessary to produce good health.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:50</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 24, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Mid-Hudson-Childrens-Museum-Aired-On-March-7--8--2015-e1s3b6"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Mid-Hudson-Childrens-Museum-Aired-On-March-7--8--2015-e1s3b6"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum (Aired On March 7 & 8, 2015)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum, near the edge of the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, is one of the great destinations for parents and children in the Hudson Valley.

About 90% of the abused are women, who can be removed from their domestic situation to one of two secretly located residences for stays of 90 days. There are also arrangements for men. The clients are provided with a family advocate to help get through the legal arrangements necessary for orders of protection or for finding permanent housing. Not all abuse is physical—victims of psychological or financial abuse can also get help. Services are free and confidential.

Perhaps the most dramatic aid comes with Giving Day, every 3rd Friday of the month. Those in need can visit a large area filled with tables of food—fresh, meat, and canned; supplies and toys for children; clothing; furniture; and other items not covered by food stamps.

In addition to the orchestras and fiddlers, Stringendo offers Summer Strings, a day camp where children from 3rd through 10th grades learn fiddle tunes by ear as well as participating in traditional camp activities.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:10</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 21, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Exciting-Travel-Options-Aired-on-December-20--21--2014-e1r9ec"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Exciting-Travel-Options-Aired-on-December-20--21--2014-e1r9ec"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Exciting Travel Options (Aired on December 20 & 21, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Southern Ulster Rotarian B.N.

Today he emphasizes the basic triangle for handling a mental illness—a psychiatrist to diagnose, medicine to alleviate, and therapy to help with coping. The depressive side of bipolar disorder tends to isolate a person in what Weitzman calls the “Cave of Hell,” where the person becomes nonfunctioning, while the manic side makes a person overly active and optimistic. In addition to the basic triangle, it helps to cope by masking a daily list of activities to prevent nonfunctioning and actually doing what is on the list; but mental recovery activities such as journaling and meditation; and by joining a support group for the disorder.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:13</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 21, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Hudson-Valley-Hospice-Aired-on-December-6--7--2014-e1r9bo"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Hudson-Valley-Hospice-Aired-on-December-6--7--2014-e1r9bo"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The Hudson Valley Hospice (Aired on December 6 & 7, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RadioRotary interviews Richard Tracino, President and Chief Executive for Hudson Valley Hospice (HVH) and Hudson Valley Hospice Foundation, and Kim Warner, Director of Psychosocial Services for HVH.

It began informally in 2984 when California Rotarian Tom Rose lost his way in Colima and came upon the small village of Cofradía de Suchitlàn. Recognizing the unmet needs of the villagers, Rose and his wife Susan Hill began to provide assistance, which eventually blossomed into Project Amigo, which today brings volunteers from the United States, Canada, and Mexico to Colima to help with literacy projects, health projects, and more.

The first 3-D printers became available in 1986. They create objects, usually by laying down layers of plastic that build up to produce a solid plastic object (sometimes other materials are used). Each layer is formed in essentially the same way as an ink-jet printer reproduces a computerized image on paper, but plastic is used instead of ink. A computer program written with computer-assisted design (CAD), directs the process, so any object once designed can be printed as often as one likes. Among the triumphs of the process is the ability to print organs, including a plastic hand that actually grasps under control of the muscles in the arm.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:34</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 21, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/A-School-for-Haiti-Aired-on-October-18--19--2014-e1r8s4"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/A-School-for-Haiti-Aired-on-October-18--19--2014-e1r8s4"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>A School for Haiti (Aired on October 18 & 19, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>n January of 2011 retired Saugerties (NY) English teacher Nancy Lanni visited Haiti, with a construction team helping repair the damage.

Schools in Haiti are not free, so only about 50% of children attend one in this impoverished land. Ms. Lanni decided to continue teaching in Haiti, learning Creole, the language of Haiti, and also began raising money for a school on La Gonáve where currently all six grades are taught in one room of a community church.

One of the main projects sponsored by the Club is improving a school near León, Nicaragua. The main workers in Nicaragua each year are about 20 Interact students from the local high school, aided by school counselors and adult chaperones. The students mix concrete, dig trenches, and otherwise work all day during their visit to site, while during the rest of the year they raise from $10,000 to $20,000 for the project. Locally, Rhinebeck Rotary is proud of the work of the Community Service Committee, which handles projects that Rhinebeck residents are unable to deal with themselves, ranging from plumbing to carpentry. Rhinebeck is also one of the Clubs in the District that participates annually in the Youth Exchange Program, bringing one or two students from abroad each year.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:27</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 21, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Center-for-Performing-Arts-Aired-on-September-6--2014-e1r8in"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Center-for-Performing-Arts-Aired-on-September-6--2014-e1r8in"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Center for Performing Arts (Aired on September 6, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Once again Rotarian Lou Trapani (Rhinebeck), Artistic and Managing Director of The Center for the Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, returns to RadioRotary to discuss some of the upcoming performances at this hub for theater and related events, including the summer arts day camp, which brings many courses in theater-arts taught by the professionals who put on the shows in Rhinebeck.

Cleft palate is literally a hole in the roof of the mouth and cleft lip is one or two splits in the lip, which may extend all the way up a child’s face. A Rotaplast team of usually 15 professional surgeons, dentists, and nurses supported by another 15 nonprofessional volunteers travels to a third-world country where they are supported by a local Rotary club as they perform the operations over a 2- to 3-week period. Kathy tells also of her experience from a 2007 trip to the Philippines where she was a nurse volunteer, and concludes the interview by reading a remarkable thank-you letter from one the children served.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:22</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 20, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/RI-Convention-in-Sydney--Australia--Part-2-Aired-on-July-5--6--2014-e1r3ge"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/RI-Convention-in-Sydney--Australia--Part-2-Aired-on-July-5--6--2014-e1r3ge"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>RI Convention in Sydney, Australia, Part 2 (Aired on July 5 & 6, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Past Rotary International President Bill Boyd tells Radio Rotary Co-Host Jonah Triebwasser about WASRAG, the Water and Sanitation Rotary Action Group. Securing an adequate supply of drinkable water is one of six Rotary areas of focus that affects all the rest—fighting disease, saving mothers and children, growing local economies, promoting peace (wars have been fought over water), even literacy, since the time that young girls need to spend fetching water, often from miles away, keeps them out of school. PP Boyd noted that although sanitation is not glamorous, it is one of the easies ways for Rotarians to do good in the world—by providing latrines. In other interviews, Kerry Kornhauser describes the organization Women in Rotary and her work with Violence Free Families; Mark McNally discusses the Thousand Smiles Foundation, now in its 29th year of doing surgery to correct cleft lips an palates and also improving dental hygiene; while John Sweet and his group provides vaccinations.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:36</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 20, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Solar-Power-Solutions-Aired-on-June-28--29--2014-e1r15j"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Solar-Power-Solutions-Aired-on-June-28--29--2014-e1r15j"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Solar Power Solutions (Aired on June 28 & 29, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The RadioRotary co-hosts interview Hudson Solar Project Manager Christina Bagen about home solar-power installations. Solar panels used today capture energy from the sun and convert it to direct-current electricity; a device called an inverter then changes the power to alternating current for household or commercial use. Today solar panels are relatively inexpensive because of government grants and tax breaks; they pay for themselves by reducing or eliminating electric bills within seven to ten years.

The principal symptoms are terrifying nightmares and flashbacks brought on by experiences that resemble the initial trauma. PTSD cannot be cured by drugs and ordinary therapy is only effective about 35% of the time.

The project required, and got, legislation passed by New York State to make it feasible, then began to raise money from the Country’s sale of the SUNY Ulster President’s home and various private sources. When complete, the facility will provide temporary housing of three to six months for homeless veterans as well as counseling on acquiring a job and a path through the paperwork needed to obtain further assistance if needed.

District 7210 actually extends beyond the Mid-Hudson, however, for one of the 62 clubs is the E-Club, the first in Rotary International; its members can be located anywhere in the world and several are international members, although most live here in the Hudson Valley but attend meetings online. Another distinction for the District is that one of its past District Governors, Knut Johnsen, occupies Rotary’s seat at the United Nations. RadioRotary itself is a third unique asset of the District.

Young children may lack language skills, but the natural expression of children is through play or art, which can be used to help them through emotional problems. Dr. Crenshaw has been involved in trying to get New York State to pass a law that would allow therapy dogs help emotionally impaired witnesses (not only children) handle courtroom trials.

Mediation is a process that helps people talk about decisions and resolve conflicts. Volunteers do most of the mediation after training. The center handles small claims, landlord-tenant issues, consumer issues, divorces, caregiving problems, and workplace disputes. The Center also works with other agencies on issues such as elder abuse and bullying, a problem in many schools. Its serves can be free but some require fee payments, and mediated agreements are enforceable by the courts.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:37</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Libraries-in-the-21st-Century-Mar--30--2014-e1r0vp"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Libraries-in-the-21st-Century-Mar--30--2014-e1r0vp"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Libraries in the 21st Century (Mar. 30, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Libraries today are far more than places to borrow books for a couple of weeks according to Red Hook Public Library Director Erica Freudenberger and Mid-Hudson Library System Assistant Director Merribeth Advocate. Libraries are an important local source in obtaining jobs or improving skills, using the public-access computers in libraries or access to library information from home computers. And, while there is a lot of information on the Internet, not all of it is correct; libraries vet information and establish its relevance. Also, in addition to various audiovisual media that can be loaned, libraries today offer “free” access to e-books—although nothing from libraries is actually “free” as it is paid for by local, state, and national taxes—primarily local sources of funding.

Krista had been helping her friend, who had three children, by leaving food at her door. She recognized that cancer was sapping the energy and budgets of all these mothers, which led her to found Sparrow’s Nest, dedicated to providing two trays of homemade food each week to the suffering families. Although in the beginning Krista used her own money to set up the charitable organization, she now relies on many donors to provide the expense of serving 15 to 18 moms each week and to expand the operation. For now, Krista herself does all the cooking herself, although volunteers help deliver the food.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:26</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Legal-Help-for-Civil-Cases-Aired-on-AM-on-Mar--7--2014-e1r0ud"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Legal-Help-for-Civil-Cases-Aired-on-AM-on-Mar--7--2014-e1r0ud"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Legal Help for Civil Cases (Aired on AM on Mar. 7, 2014)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Legal Services of the Hudson Valley provides free legal help to the needy who require assistance in civil cases—mortgage problems, divorces, educational issues, domestic violence, and similar difficulties.

They explain how ACA relies on individual insurance companies instead of having a government-run single-payer plan, such as Medicare. While the ACA requires that insurers provide consumer protections and some benefits, its primary goal is to insure the currently uninsured, so people with satisfactory insurance now do not need to register. Cyber-Liability Insurance primarily protects companies and nonprofits from data breaches if their computer system is hacked or a device with private information is lost or stolen. The Dowden brothers also explain the differences between long-term care insurance and long-term disability insurance as well as the differences between homeowner’s insurance and flood insurance.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:09</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-UN-Day-2013-Aired-on-AM-on-Dec--13-2013-e1r0qi"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-UN-Day-2013-Aired-on-AM-on-Dec--13-2013-e1r0qi"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary UN Day 2013 (Aired on AM on Dec. 13,2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary Day at the United Nations celebrates the important role Rotary had in founding the UN and the continuing relationship. Each year on Rotary UN Day, RadioRotary hosts attend and record interviews with attendees. This year the interviews included Freddie Lee Kaplan discussing the Gift of Life, which is the second largest Rotary Foundation program (after PolioPlus). Gift of Life works to fix congenital heart disorders in children from all over the world. We hear about ShelterBox, an international effort allied with Rotary that brings shelter and necessities to people facing disasters, whether storms, earthquakes, floods, or other calamities. Todd Horvath discusses a program that brings free prosthetic hands that can grip objects and that resemble real hands; more than 16,000 have been helped with these hands. On a more local level, Jaina Diaz-Kelly and Michelle Eggink tell about how the Rotarian youth organization Interact has changed their lives .</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:05</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Dutchess-Country-BOCES-Dec--6--2013-e1r0qg"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Dutchess-Country-BOCES-Dec--6--2013-e1r0qg"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Dutchess Country BOCES (Dec. 6, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Norah Merritt (Executive Director of Educational Programs), Barbara Cesario (Coordinator of Related Services), and Leah Pollack (Administrator of the PEACCE program) about the scope of BOCES and its special services.

In addition, he is a motivational speaker at events, inspiring those who suffer traumatic injuries. For those with such injuries, he stresses the need for various kinds of support from family and friends and the need for quality care that depends heavily on government services, which are dwindling in this economic environment.

Vests labeled “service assist dog” are placed on service dogs, giving them the legal right to enter public buildings and vehicles where other dogs (such as therapy dogs or comfort dogs) are not permitted.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:54</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-Convention-Part-IV-Lisbon-2013-Oct--4--2013-e1r0mf"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Rotary-Convention-Part-IV-Lisbon-2013-Oct--4--2013-e1r0mf"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rotary Convention Part IV Lisbon 2013 (Oct. 4, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>More brief updates about the work of many humanitarian organizations around the world, including their efforts related to International Youth Exchange for developing global friendships, Incubators for Africa, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ShelterBox, the Hiroshima Peace Project, and Human Rights.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:34</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Camp-Sundown-for-XP-Families-Aired-on-AM-on-Sept--27--on-FM-on-Sept--29--2013-e1r0jt"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Camp-Sundown-for-XP-Families-Aired-on-AM-on-Sept--27--on-FM-on-Sept--29--2013-e1r0jt"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Camp Sundown for XP Families (Aired on AM on Sept. 27 & on FM on Sept. 29, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The nonprofit XP Society provides families with support and information needed to help their children suffering from Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) or other life-threatening sun-sensitivity disorders.

Carl Rotans, Senior Instructor of Puppies behind Bars, teaches inmates to train service dogs. These unique dogs greatly assist the disabled, especially veterans, in a multitude of ways: taking dishes from the table, dialing 911 if necessary, turning lights on or off. The dogs are trained to respond to more than 90 commands. In this heavily monitored program, inmates are prescreened, go through a long and intensive selective process, and if selected, live day and night with their 8-week-old puppy as it grows and learns for the next two years.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">27:11</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Planting-the-Seeds-of-Service-Sept--6--2013-e1r0jc"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Planting-the-Seeds-of-Service-Sept--6--2013-e1r0jc"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Planting the Seeds of Service (Sept. 6, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Rhinebeck Interact, a Rotary-sponsored high-school service organization, provides hands-on support in Nicaragua, building classrooms in that Central American nation during Rhinebeck school breaks.

Maintaining membership is vital for the survival of service organizations, but recruitment is often difficult because work and family obligations as well as health issues may prevent people from attending ordinary meetings. To address this problem, Rotary created eClubs. These require members to provide humanitarian service of their choice and to pay basic dues, but do not require attendance at meetings. Chartered in 2012, Rotary eClub 7210 includes members from several countries (including Sweden, Nigeria, India, and Turkey) and U.S. states. Members communicate mainly through email, considering that time zones make it difficult to meet any other way.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:52</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Living-a-Happier-Life-July-12--2013-e1r0d5"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Living-a-Happier-Life-July-12--2013-e1r0d5"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Living a Happier Life (July 12, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Marion Licchiello, author of Anyone Can!

This subsequently led to his work in Kenya where he trained local paramedics, empowering them to help the public in their own communities. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:59</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 19, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Vassar-Haiti-Project-Aired-on-AM-May-17--2013-e1qvqs"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Vassar-Haiti-Project-Aired-on-AM-May-17--2013-e1qvqs"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The Vassar Haiti Project (Aired on AM May 17, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Cindy Fung, a member of the Vassar Rotaract club and co-founders of the Vassar Haiti Project, Lila and Andrew Meade, discuss how promoting Haiti’s varied and unique art forms has improved Haitian lives (Rotaract is a college service club sponsored by Rotary).

The schools involved encompass 14 counties in 55 school districts, with students referred by local public schools.

Ms. Adams describes the extensive selective process for a family to receive a home. A family of four having a maximum income of $40,000 must show over several interviews their ability to assume the challenges of home ownership; their willingness to take various courses such as budgeting; and a donation of 300 hours of work on their home prior to moving in. Ms. Adams also discusses “passive houses” with energy-efficiency elements that don’t rely on air-furnaces or air conditioners to heat and cool a home. Ms. Adams points out that volunteers for Habitat, like Rotarians, enjoy the fellowship and work that so clearly improves lives.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:04</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 18, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Another-way-of-singing-Aired-March-8--2013-e1qsug"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Another-way-of-singing-Aired-March-8--2013-e1qsug"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Another way of singing (Aired March 8, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Here is an interview with poet and retired opera singer Roger Roloff that will surprise those who “don’t like” poetry.

These unique dogs greatly assist the disabled, especially veterans, in a multitude of ways: taking dishes from the table, dialing 911 if necessary, turning lights on or off. The dogs are trained to respond to more than 90 commands. In this heavily monitored program, inmates are prescreened, go through a long and intensive selective process, and if selected, live day and night with their 8-week-old puppy as it grows and learns for the next two years. The process not only results in trained animals that improve the lives of their disabled owners, but also helps the prisoners learn disciple and other skills that will be helpful when they return to life outside the prison walls. Parting is “bittersweet,” with many inmates opting for a new puppy when the first training period ends.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:54</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 18, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Soles4Souls-and-Nubian-Directions-II-February-8--2013-e1qsro"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Soles4Souls-and-Nubian-Directions-II-February-8--2013-e1qsro"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Soles4Souls and Nubian Directions II (February 8, 2013)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Mario Johnson, Program Coordinator for Poughkeepsie’s Nubian Directions II YouthBuild/AmeriCorps, describes how dedicated young adults collected nearly 2,000 new and slightly used shoes, sneakers, and boots in one month for victims of Hurricane Sandy, with shipments going to Long Island and New Jersey.

The Rotarian in-laws, Sue Osterhoudt, Pompey Delafield, and spouses, visited the Madagascar village and asked what was most needed. The simple answer of “books” led to amazing results: building a library, creating a manual (by Ms. Osterhoudt, a former librarian) about how to set up a library, villagers young and old wanting to read both in English and in Malagasy (the language of Madagascar), volunteers teaching villagers to read, peer tutoring to expand the reading population in the village, literacy improvement in which the village moved from last place in Madagascar to first place, a business selling vanilla beans to support the project, and more.

Previously the Rotary District in 2005 provided quick relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina, and Mr. Palant learned from that experience. This time, with generous donations from District 7210 and neighboring Rotary districts, Mr. Palant was able to buy 47 electrical generators, extension cords, gasoline containers, and other necessary items. As with Katrina, only with great difficulty was Mr. Palant able to locate generators, eventually finding them in Chester, New York.

Rotaplast (“Rotary” + “plastic surgery”), heavily supported by Rotary districts and clubs around the world, was started by doctors in the Rotary Club of San Francisco in 1992 to provide such services. Such reconstructive surgery is difficult to obtain in poor undeveloped countries. Venezuela’s Cumana Rotary arranged for 3 operating rooms in a local hospital to be available to the medical team. Over 10 days the team performed 99 surgeries on patients selected from among hundreds of families; many had traveled very far to reach the clinic in order to give their loved ones a chance for a better life. The immediate transformation after an operation is powerful to witness, as children can suddenly hear, speak, eat, and drink. </div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:45</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 18, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Hudson-River-Today-Aired-on-November-16--2012-e1qs1o"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/The-Hudson-River-Today-Aired-on-November-16--2012-e1qs1o"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>The Hudson River Today (Aired on November 16, 2012)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>What is the current condition of the Hudson River and how will it affect you?

Together these make Hudson much cleaner today than years ago, with most of the Hudson today now safe for swimming. However, Hudson River fish are still contaminated with chemical compounds (PCBs), limiting food fish to those that spend most of their lives at sea. Furthermore, alien species, often carried on ships entering the Hudson River from foreign lands, disrupt the Hudson’s ecosystem. Dr. Strayer also discusses future Hudson Valley prospects in the face of climate change, such as the effect of sea level rises on the Hudson River.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:28</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 18, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Preventing-Child-Abuse-Aired-on-November-9--2012-e1qs0t"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Preventing-Child-Abuse-Aired-on-November-9--2012-e1qs0t"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Preventing Child Abuse (Aired on November 9, 2012)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Dana Gavin, Director for the Center of Prevention of Child Abuse in Dutchess County, shares the latest information and statistics about child abuse that are at times surprising.

Volunteer hunters collect the food, bring it to a processing plant donated and staffed by hunters, cut up and vacuum-pack the meat, freeze it, and distribute it–58,000 pounds distributed since 1993! For young people involved in hunting and fishing, Ms. Hickman describes various ways to help the next generation learn about conservation and the outdoors, such as hunter safety courses, conservation programs, and summer camps.

Inbound students describe their experiences–including their food preferences–living with Hudson Valley host families and attending local public schools. Outbound students discuss why they look forward to living abroad. Through Youth Exchange, which began in the 1920s, students learn firsthand about life in another country, planting the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding.

Called the Backpack Snack Attack, the program originally served the needs of one school district and 20 student families. Today, in these harsh economic times and supported by a Rotary district grant, it has expanded to serving several districts and 200 families. Elementary schools identify the families in need and send students home each Friday with backpacks filled with food. Students return the backpacks on Monday. This year, students also received winter jackets from the Rotary Club of Warwick. Each week, over 300 volunteers organize food donations, food collections, food purchases, fundraising, and backpack packing, paying attention to restrictive diets, allergies, and so forth. Today this program is a model for other efforts like it in the Hudson Valley and beyond.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:19</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 18, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Gourmet-Cooking-for-Novices-Aired-on-June-22--2012-e1qq8f"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Gourmet-Cooking-for-Novices-Aired-on-June-22--2012-e1qq8f"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Gourmet Cooking for Novices (Aired on June 22, 2012)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>In this week’s program, Millbrook Rotarian Rona Boyer, Food Editor of The Millbrook Independent, offers gourmet cooking tips and, as an added bonus, easy-to-follow delicious, healthy gourmet recipes.

The Elderact model is currently being expanded to other senior facilities in District 7210.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:47</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 18, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Family-Entertainment-Old-Rhinebeck-Aerodrome-June-1--2012-e1qq1d"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Family-Entertainment-Old-Rhinebeck-Aerodrome-June-1--2012-e1qq1d"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Family Entertainment Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome (June 1, 2012)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Don Fleming, Vice President and Public Relations Manager of Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, famous for its air shows, discusses the history of the airport and the fabulous entertainment available to the public in the shows featuring antique aircraft.

Approximately 57,000 seniors, defined as anyone over 60 years old, live in Dutchess County, and residents between 40 and 60 years old total about 90,000. Other Hudson Valley counties provide similar services, which include help with legal issues (wills, trusts, etc.), transportation (for medical purposes especially, but for other purposes such as grocery shopping), medical information (long term care, levels of living), free exercise programs, the Brain Games program, and loads more. They also provide assistance to caretakers for the aging. The agency receives about 39,000 calls per year asking for help. The agency’s goal is to keep seniors living independently and at home as long as possible because studies show that seniors live longer in their own environment.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">25:40</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 17, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Services-for-Special-Needs-Aired-on-May-18--2012-e1qnac"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Services-for-Special-Needs-Aired-on-May-18--2012-e1qnac"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Services for Special-Needs (Aired on May 18, 2012)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Executives from PARC (Putnam Achieve, Reach, Connect), Nancy Miringoff, Associate Executive Director, and Pepi Diaz-Salazar, Director of Day Habilitation, discuss PARC’s many services to children and adults with developmental disabilities and brain injuries.

The intent is to help listeners become aware of the veterans’ problems and about the ways they can help, sometimes as simple as telling a vet: “Thank you for serving.” Mr. Love discusses the many resources and services now available to returning veterans and points out the shortage of publicity, which means that veterans must reach out to each other. A poet in his spare time, Mr. Love shares the values of Rotary, wanting to give back to his community and his country. His 9/11 experience as a First Responder resulted in a multi-media exhibition, “United We Stood,” a month long multi-media photo exhibition, showcasing 10 original photos taken by Trent Love at various locations around New York.

As they work together on these projects, they learn problem solving, conflict management, and something about themselves.

Many legendary performers have graced its stage in the past, including Mark Twain, Sarah Bernhardt, Frank Sinatra, and Houdini. When the Bardavon fell on hard times in the 1970s, citizens rallied to restore it.

With heartfelt emotion, Ms. LiMarzi describes the joy of teaching a child to read or improving the quality of life of an adult who reads to his or her child for the first time.

Mr. Henderson realized that the most needed aid after most disasters was for food, medicine, and shelter. He developed ShelterBox, a package containing these necessities that would last for at least six months for up to ten persons per box. The boxes are prepacked and can be delivered immediately, usually with the help of Rotary clubs near the site of the disaster.

For example, Ms. Birdsall discusses how the RCC team helps her rescue-dog adoption program, which has placed over 1,600 dogs in 18 months, and Ms. Irving discusses how the RCC helps the Salvation Army with food distribution.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">24:08</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 15, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Habitat-for-Humanity-and-Rotary-Aired-Jan--7--2011-e1qa6k"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Habitat-for-Humanity-and-Rotary-Aired-Jan--7--2011-e1qa6k"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Habitat for Humanity and Rotary (Aired Jan. 7, 2011)</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Habitat for Humanity builds and restores homes for low-income families.

The program was taped on site at Rotary District 7210’s annual Conference in May, 2010 in front of an audience of Conference attendees. Rotary International’s GSE program pairs Rotary districts around the world and provides all travel expenses for a team of non-Rotarians (with a Rotarian Team Leader) from a variety of vocations. Rotarian hosts organize a four to six week itinerary of educational, vocational, and cultural points of interest, and participants learn how their profession is practiced in other countries. Since 1965, more than 52,000 individuals (almost 12,000 teams) from 102 countries have participated. With the exception of the Team Leader, each participant must be between the ages of 25 and 40 and have at least two year’s experience in his/her profession.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">26:29</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 15, 2018</div></div><div class="styles__episodeFeedItem___1U6E2"><a class="styles__episodeImage___tMifW" href="/radiorotary/episodes/Windell-Curole--The-New-Orleans-Flood-71610-e1q7lv"><img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-generated-image-bank/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/789394/789394-1531572803496-f117c062b1113.jpg"/><button class="styles__circle___1g-9u styles__white___372tQ styles__playButton___1Ivi4 styles__playButton___1uaGA" style="height:27px;min-height:27px;width:27px;min-width:27px;border-radius:14px" aria-label=""><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-1 0 11 12" width="12" height="12"><rect width="12" height="12" fill="none"></rect><path d="M1 .81v10.38a.76.76 0 0 0 .75.75.67.67 0 0 0 .39-.12l8.42-5.18a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.28L2.14.18a.75.75 0 0 0-1 .24.79.79 0 0 0-.14.39z" fill="#282F36"></path></svg></button></a><a href="/radiorotary/episodes/Windell-Curole--The-New-Orleans-Flood-71610-e1q7lv"><div class="styles__episodeHeading___29q7v" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Windell Curole, The New Orleans Flood 7/16/10</div></div></a><div class="styles__episodeDescription___C3oZg "><div class="styles__expander___1NNVb styles__expander--dark___3Qxhe" style="overflow:hidden"><div>Windell Curole (Golden Meadow Rotary) is General Manager of South Lafourche Levee District.

Specific devices provided through Rotary projects, such as easy-to-use, inexpensive water filtration units, can clear water of disease-causing microbes. Rotarian volunteers fan out across the world to visit countries in need, especially in their outlying areas.

Hunters, who have more than they can use, make donations, which are distributed to the needy in outlets such as soup kitchens. In 2009, Hunters Helping the Hungry distributed more than 6,400 lbs. of venison.

Mr. Keahon emphasizes the high ethics that Rotarians bring to their professions, saying “we are ethically driven,” and he clearly explains why Rotary District 7210 sponsors RadioRotary: to reach out to non Rotarians to let them know what Rotary does and to invite them to consider becoming a Rotary member.</div></div></div><div class="styles__episodeDuration___2I0Qb">23:11</div><div class="styles__episodeCreated___1zP5p">July 14, 2018</div></div></div></div><div class="styles__wave___1t3WH"><svg viewBox="0 0 1287 150" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs><linearGradient x1="50%" y1="0%" x2="50%" y2="100%" id="a"><stop stop-color="#FFF" offset="0%"></stop><stop stop-color="#FFF" stop-opacity=".5" offset="100%"></stop></linearGradient></defs><path d="M0 385.77C68.76 373 60.4 350.67 118.99 351c72.9.41 101.48 58.75 150.95 72.82 36.52 10.38 117.27-56.37 172.3-57 58.9-.67 71.45 47.85 185.59 51.36 40.83 1.26 125.13-58.38 175.46-51.36 40.68 5.68 117.25 33.37 164.77 27.7 47.52-5.67 90.08-32.5 142.71-35.55 41.99-2.44 114.69 35.83 148.2 35.55 33.87-.29 49.34-12.45 70.57-16.86 33.43-6.94 57.72 2.25 76.5 8.11 6.64 2.08 11.36 1.51 15.63 1.43 4.26-.09 12.33-1.43 12.33-1.43V506H0V385.77z" transform="translate(-117 -351)" fill="url(#a)" fill-rule="evenodd" opacity=".5"></path></svg></div><div class="styles__wave___1t3WH"><svg viewBox="0 0 1287 150" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs><linearGradient x1="50%" y1="0%" x2="50%" y2="100%" id="wave2"><stop stop-color="#FFF" offset="0%"></stop><stop stop-color="#FFF" stop-opacity=".5" offset="100%"></stop></linearGradient></defs><path d="M31 388.13s69.99 41.77 128.57 42.12c54.9.34 111.87-35.82 157.78-47.18 15.04-3.73 28.89-4.79 41.1-1.04 36.5 11.21 58.67 48.9 113.7 48.22 58.89-.73 63.8-52.02 177.93-48.22 40.83 1.36 107.6 40.64 157.93 48.22 40.68 6.13 110.41-54 157.93-60.12 47.53-6.12 123.21 48.69 175.85 45.39 40.56-2.55 100.81-47.49 135.07-50.8 4.7-.21 5.99-.34 7.3-.46 7.7-.24 11.21-.26 11.21-.26l7.42.04c3.45.02 7.02.46 10.47.48 0 0 23.85.66 57.18 17.5 28.64 14.48 52.3 11.67 67.43 11.12 17.93-.64 27.13-3.98 27.13-3.98V519H31V388.13z" transform="translate(-117 -364)" fill="url(#wave2)" fill-rule="evenodd"></path></svg></div><div class="styles__frontWave___rR0oV"><svg viewBox="0 0 1287 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs><linearGradient x1="50%" y1="0%" x2="50%" y2="100%" id="cc"><stop stop-color="#FFF" offset="0%"></stop><stop stop-color="#FFF" stop-opacity=".5" offset="100%"></stop></linearGradient><path d="M31 422.7c60.94 2.97 30.91 18.7 89.5 18.87 72.9.21 70.55-21.54 120.02-14.49 36.52 5.21 53.8 28.6 108.83 28.28 58.9-.34 90.9-47.1 205.05-45.34 40.83.63 115.05 38.25 165.38 41.77 40.68 2.85 120.55-43.34 168.07-46.18 47.53-2.85 111.93 37.5 164.56 35.96 42-1.22 83.34-41.43 116.85-41.57 33.86-.14 49.14 21.14 111.74 35.84 23.38 5.49 54.97 5.65 85.37 3.7 25.89-1.65 49.84-11.85 68.2-14.58 18.37-2.74 30.43-2.27 30.43-2.27V483H31v-60.3z" id="bb"></path><filter x="-1.3%" y="-30.7%" width="102.7%" height="147%" filterUnits="objectBoundingBox" id="aa"><feOffset dx="1" dy="-6" in="SourceAlpha" result="shadowOffsetOuter1"></feOffset><feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="5.5" in="shadowOffsetOuter1" result="shadowBlurOuter1"></feGaussianBlur><feColorMatrix values="0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.0525928442 0" in="shadowBlurOuter1"></feColorMatrix></filter></defs><g transform="translate(-117 -383)" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><use fill="#000" filter="url(#aa)" xlink:href="#bb"></use><use fill="url(#cc)" xlink:href="#bb"></use><use fill="#FFF" xlink:href="#bb"></use></g></svg></div></div><div class="styles__waveTextContainer___2gj-m"><h5 class="styles__waveText___O3-Ho">Make your own podcast for free with Anchor!</h5></div><footer class="styles__footer___2_V-y"><div class="
