Quarry Park
<p>In this installment, we explore the history of Quarry Park, a 5.5-acre parcel of land that has undergone a surprising number of very dramatic changes over the last 150 years – from a flourishing marble quarry to a majestic park to an unsightly landfill and back to a beautiful space for the public to enjoy. We draw from The Hastings Historian, Daniel Ellsberg’s memoir, The Doomsday Machine, and a first-hand account from John Flack, who was instrumental in creating the park as it is today.</p>

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
<p>In a tumble of scenes set here on the banks of the Lower Hudson Valley, Irving animates the romantic, the longing, and the American moments that form this notoriously inconclusive tale. Perhaps at the other end, you’ll have some questions, like we did: What is all this humor doing in such a sad tale? Where do our sympathies lie with the hardworking, greedy Ichabod Crane? Who can be trusted? What in the Dickens happens at the end? </p><p> </p><p>Jonathan Kruk, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Storyteller, provides context. </p>

The Whistleblower
<p>This episode features two accounts that center the vitality of the Hudson River. The first comes from Paul Hanak, a Hastings resident from 1925 to 1987, and known as one of the river’s most prolific swimmers. By the late 60s, though, pollutants from Zinsser Chemical and Anaconda Wire and Cable had turned the water purple, yellow, and green. Our second account comes from Fred Danback, who worked as a janitor and union president for Anaconda before deciding to give his life to fighting this pollution. His suit, when settled in 1972, marked the largest reward money ever obtained by a conservation group. Dan Shapley, Interim VP of Programs & Interim Hudson Riverkeeper, provides context. </p>
