This year’s event features the folkmusic of Tony Sorce and Mark Bergfelt of the Z-Town Street Band (begins at 00:07:00), the JM Gishbauger Memorial Tall Tale reading by Cara McGaff & Madison Hornbeck (01:13:45), our classic Pig Lady of Cannelton Tale by Tony Lavorgne (01:19:20), and a discussion about the Barbara Davidson paranormal investigation by the Ohio Paranormal Investigation Team (OPIT) from East Liverpool, Ohio (01:29:50). 

About the author

Michael Kishbucher has been a guest on several TSVP podcasts. He resides in Virginia with his wife and daughters but grew up in Pennsylvania, and Ohio. In his spare time, Mike writes and volunteers working stewardship and citizen science projects as a certified Virginia Master Naturalist. He is a member of the Little Beaver Historical Society, the International Society for Contemporary Legend Research and thoroughly enjoys “free-searching” for a certain astonishing podcast. He first learned intelligence tradecraft while serving in the United States Air Force rising from the enlisted ranks to retire as a field grade officer. Michael earned a Master of Science degree in strategic intelligence from the Department of Defense’s National Intelligence University, and now he analyzes adversarial military capability for the Defense Intelligence Agency as a civilian in federal service. Michael thinks it’s bizarre that authors always write their bios in third person. 

A dark and bloody past lurks beneath the folklore of the Little Beaver Creek watershed in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. The first American frontiersmen hesitantly settled this region in the late 1700s following more than forty years of warfare. Fables like Barbara Davidson, the Pig Lady of Cannelton, sprang from this long, horrific conflict. The legends of Esther Hale, the White Lady of Sprucevale, and Gretchen's Lock rose shortly thereafter, whereas the age of the Indian Rock petroglyph remains hotly debated. Today, most locals know these stories. But few know the purpose of Indian Rock or why Barbara's restless spirit sometimes appears with a pig's head. Using methods honed over twenty years of service as a Department of Defense intelligence analyst, author Michael Kishbucher uncovers the history and potential origins of these and other tales.

In the early 1790s, a Lutheran family in Appalachia fell victim to a menacing spirit that Lutheran, Methodist and Episcopal clergy as well as Folk magic practitioners failed to remove. The entity, which came to be known as the Wizard Clip, was said to cut or slice anything made of cloth or leather. Was it a ghost or a demon? After years of torment, the deeply Protestant family finally found respite from a seemingly impossible ally, a Catholic exorcist. This legend has eerie parallels to lore of ghosts and witches from the Old World as well as the early American Republic. As American religious leaders sought to find a place for their congregations in a post-Revolutionary time of enlightened secularism, tales like these helped churches define themselves, and this particular story was used to distinguish Catholic supernaturalism from later spiritualism. Author Michael Kishbucher tells a spooky and incredibly compelling story that shines a light on the region's religious history.

“Sentimental Journey” is the the story of PFC John Frain Gallagher, Sr. (1911-1986) and his time in the 106th division during WWII.  The audio documentary features historical news clips and  interviews with family members who provide personal memories, anecdotes, and commentary about military service and combat experiences.

On this episode, Devin Gallagher reflects on his experience making the audio documentary, the importance of preserving family history, and the dynamics of working with digital media.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Being Black in America has never been easy, but If given the opportunity I wouldn’t change that fact. My work is a depiction of being Black, not only in Beaver County but in America. All that has left an imprint on my life. I use art as an outlet to express myself.

On episode 9, the Genesis Collective's resident filmmaker Christopher Padgett talks with Jessica Jeffries (aka, Jessii Mari), recorded as part of The Genesis Collective's Black Creatives in Beaver County Interview Series. Christopher and Jessii talk about her passion for surrealism and using art to express what's often hard to put into words.  Jessii also shares her views on being a black woman and artist. To Jessii, art is a powerful way that people can use to share their true identity with others--something that is often a struggle within the Black community. 

Being Black in Beaver County Art Exhibit

St. Cloud Hotel Mural as Public History 

On each episode we feature a different piece of public art in Beaver County—from painting to sculpture, from grand to demure, from serious to silly. Public artworks are significant expressions about who we are and what we care about. They commemorate people, places, events, and causes.

And sometimes, public art recognizes history.

For this episode, we take a look at a mural of the St. Cloud Hotel painted on the side of a house in Homewood, Pennsylvania—that little railroad community nestled against the Pennsylvania Turnpike, perhaps best known now for the Buttermilk Falls Nature Area that includes an impressive 40ft tall cascade of water crashing down on a creek bed of natural sandstone—which by the way, was quarried back in the day and used in many of Western Pennsylvania’s iconic bridge piers and buildings built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

But Homewood, sometimes informally referred to by its original 1859 name of “Homewood Junction,” is perhaps best known for being a bustling railroad town. At the center of everything was the well-known Johnston House in 1879 located against the tracks that carried passengers between all points from the south (Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Philadelphia) and all points north (Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago).

Before the Johnston House would become the St. Cloud Hotel, and then Valley Inn, it started as the original train station built in 1852. That was 169 years ago. The building still stands, barely. But it won’t be long now until it falls over and is swept away by a community ridding itself of an the old eyesore.

But back in the day, the old St. Cloud Hotel was a delightful site situated prominently mere yards from the rail lines—festive, but simple. Small, but appearing grand. We often see photographs of the hotel adorned with red, white, and blue banners. A bright patriotic place to stop and dine.

But when the 1901 funeral train of assassinated President McKinley slowly rounded the tight Homewood bend towards Canton, Ohio, the St. Cloud Hotel was probably covered in black mourning bunting, with large crowds of silent and solemn citizens lining the hotel grounds and spacious veranda.

That old hotel has seen a lot over the years, and just think of all who have seen that little hotel on their train journey through Beaver County.

If you want to see what the old St. Cloud Hotel was like in its heyday, we encourage you to take a trip to Homewood. At the corner of State St. and 3rd Ave. you’ll see the mural which is our public art highlight for this episode. It’s a wonderful artistic reminder of our shared history.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I am an all around artist. I can draw, I’m a rapper, I customize shoes, I write in my journal, I’m a natural poet. I love to sing and most of all I just love to create. I do all the things I do because I love to spread love and joy around, instead of misery and sorrow. There’s so much more to life than we know.  

On episode 8, the Genesis Collective's resident filmmaker Christopher Padgett talks with Island Bradley, recorded as part of The Genesis Collective's Black Creatives in Beaver County Interview Series. Christopher and Island talk about her passion for creativity and the challenges of being a creative. Island also shares her views on being a black woman and artist in Beaver County. Chris asks Island about her motivation to make art. She says it's all about taking something plain, boring, and unadorned and making it come to life with color and bedazzlement--like the shoes she customizes for her clients. To Island, art is identity. For this reason she's a big fan of graffiti. It marks the name of an artist, she says, for all to see.

Public Art Thinks Pink 

On each episode we feature a different piece of public art in Beaver County—from painting to sculpture, from grand to demure, from serious to silly. Public artworks are significant expressions about who we are and what we care about. They commemorate people, places, and events. They recognize history.

And sometimes, public art is used to champion a cause, such as breast cancer awareness. On this episode, we take a look at the Monaca municipal water fountain located at George Washington Park on Pennsylvania Avenue. 

For many years now, the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition and many other health organizations, local governments, businesses, and individuals around the world have marked October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast cancer is a serious public health threat. It’s estimated that each day in Pennsylvania, 37 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. In fact, as of this year it has become the most common cancer diagnosed in America and around the world. Nearly 30% of all new cancers diagnosed in women will be breast cancers.

Fortunately, breast cancer is a very treatable disease but only if it is detected early before it can spread. Still, modern treatments can often control breast cancer for years even if it has spread—making it more important than ever to detect and treat the disease as early as possible.

Stopping breast cancer starts with awareness and education, and this is the role of our pink water fountains. They’re hard to miss, of course, which serves as a not-so-subtle reminder breast cancer can be beaten, but only with routine screenings and regular health care.

Our local reminder comes from a photograph by Tom Dicken taken on October 26, 2012. Unfortunately, we can’t recommend that you go see the water fountain at Monaca’s George Washington Plaza; that’s because it has been decommissioned since 2018. Flowers now grow where the water used to rise up and cascade. But we do recommend that during the month of October you visit any nearby public water fountain that has been turned pink as a reminder of breast cancer.  But do more than this, now: donate to a breast cancer related charity, and most important, please encourage your loved ones at risk for the disease to get screened and examined by a healthcare professional.

More examples of local public art water fountains converted in support of breast cancer awareness campaigns.

The Weeping Wall

On each episode we feature a different piece of public art in Beaver County—from painting to sculpture, from grand to demure, from serious to silly. Public artworks are significant expressions about who we are and what we care about. They commemorate people, places, and events. They recognize history.

And sometimes, public art is meant to be an open, inviting, and interactive space for communities.

This is what we find in the “Weeping Wall” in front of the future home of the Portobello Cultural Life & Arts Center on 7th avenue in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. The center is expected to be a hub of community activity with a co-op food market, pottery studio, black box theater, and conference room. The Center will also be a gathering place for artistic expression. But for now, the Portobello building remains an empty lot.

What started out as an unadorned sidewalk barrier in front of the lot where the Portobello center will be built, the wall of brown wooden pallets eventually became the locus of community expression—ranging from grief to hope—surrounding the tragic 2020 death of George Floyd and nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality.

The Weeping Wall, says Portobello, was “designed to help process the pain and chaos that has surrounded us” during the spring and summer months of 2020. The public was—and still is—invited to interact with the wall.

Portobello goes on to say, “Much like the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, we invite the community to write directly on the wall, tuck prayers or wishes into the cracks and crevices of the slats, or tack up a poster that shows your grief for someone lost to COVID-19 or someone who cries out through the pain of systemic racism that continues and was ignited by George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis . . . this is YOUR WALL Beaver Falls community, and we invite you to interact with it as a tool for processing, communication, and healing.”

We highly recommend visiting the Weeping Wall in Beaver Falls. It’s public art that moves you.

 Read Nadia’s story in Featured Artists: Stories to Tape

Adapted from the original interview conducted by Christopher Padgett (Human City Creative) for the TGC Black Creatives in Beaver County Interview Series.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I’m an artist that wants to work on inclusivity and body positivity. I have hopes to illustrate a children’s book especially so my son has something to assist him later on in his life. I have a passion for cartoonist illusion and for its ability to break barriers in storytelling – for myself and others.

Visit Nadia on Instagram

Nadia Knecht of Ambridge, Pennsylvania is our featured artist. Be sure to check out Nadia's art on Instagram.  There you can see a wide range of Nadia's cartooning talent.

That’s right, Nadia is a visual artist who specializes in character illustrations. It’s a serious art form—this cartooning–stretching as far back as the Middle Ages, where stylized drawings of characters were produced as patterns or models for artists making stained glass, frescos, or tapestries. Fun fact, Leonardo Di Vinci was a cartoonist.

It wasn’t until modern times and mass media (starting around the middle of the 19th century) that the stature of cartooning rose to the artistic level of political editorials, comic strips and books, and animated movies.

Today, with digital tools, cartooning is a sophisticated and elevated art form. In this episode, we’ll let Nadia explain why cartooning matters to her, both personally and professionally, as a black creative in Beaver County.

Zuverman: The World’s Largest Bodybuilder

Come see the World Famous 20 foot Behemoth known as Zuverman!  He is rich in weightlifting history and has survived since the 1960’s.  Born on the beaches of Southern California he stood guard at one of the most fabled gyms in the world.  He now calls the Brickyard his home.  Zuverman is listed on The National Registry for Roadside Attractions. ~ Brickyard Gym

On each episode we feature a different piece of public art in Beaver County—from painting to sculpture, from grand to demure, from serious to silly. Public artworks are significant expressions about who we are and what we care about. They commemorate people, places, and events. They recognize history.

And sometimes, public art is just delightfully odd.

For this episode, say hello to Zuverman, billed as the world’s largest muscleman by Roadside America—a national publication and authority on more than 15,000 “odd and hilarious travel destinations” throughout North America.

Zuverman (aka “Big Z” by owner Rick Tsai) shares company with other nearby odd roadside attractions such as Randyland in Pittsburgh, all those slimey carp at the Pymatuning Reservoir spillway, the Trundall Manor House of Oddities in Swissville, as well as the world’s largest teapot in Chester, West Virginia.

We’ll let you discover Zuverman for yourself.  Roadside America says that a visit to Darlington, Pa to see him is “worth a detour” from whatever you’re doing to check out the impressive 20ft golden statue at the Brickyard Gym on Darlington Road.

You decide if the handcrafted plaster figure should be considered serious and worthwhile public art. Is this just a marketing gimmick? Does its commercial purpose detract from its representational and aesthetic qualities?

We have our opinions of course. We wouldn’t feature Zuverman in our public art highlight if we didn’t think the sculpture had artistic merit.

But we recommend that you go see it for yourself. Walk up to it and around it. It’s big, really big. Take a photo. Let us know what you think of “Big Z.”
