The Prue family — pregnancy perseverance
Eliza Anne Cohen-Prue is in the arms of her father, Keegan Prue, with her mother, Olivia Cohen-Prue, by her side and their greyhound, Desmond, at their feet, in their Altamont yard. Olivia gave birth to Eliza on July 12 after a day-long labor and a years-long odyssey to get and stay pregnant. With 1 in 8 couples unable to conceive, Olivia and Keegan came to realize that many others had similar experiences although few talked about it. They courageously shared their journey with three rounds of in vitro fertilization and two miscarriages in an Enterprise story last fall, which made their pregnancy and Eliza’s birth a cause for celebration among Altamont Enterprise readers. In this week’s podcast, Olivia and Keegan — with occasionally burbles from Eliza — tell their story of love, loss, heartbreak, perseverance, and happiness. — Photo from Keegan Prue

Daughter and mother coach dragon-boat paddlers
31:33|Anna Judge and Louisa Matthew realize they live in an ageist and sexist society — but, with generous spirits, they are paddling against the current. The mother-daughter duo together coach a crew of dragon boat paddlers. Matthew, the mother, is an art professor at Union College. Judge, her daughter, is a certified personal trainer who led her mother into the sport. “A dragon boat is a 40-foot long, very narrow racing boat,” explains Matthew in this week’s Enterprise podcast. “That became standardized in the 20th Century but it’s based on a thousands-year-old Chinese tradition of racing the big rivers in China.” A dragon boat has 20 paddlers, two to a seat, with a person in the stern who steers and a person in the bow signaling directions, traditionally by drumming. “It’s the national sport of China,” said Judge “so it’s quite big in Asia and has subsequently spread to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.” It came to the United States through Canada, she said, citing the work of a doctor in British Columbia who changed prevailing medical opinion on exercise for breast-cancer survivors.
