Ali Weinstein is the writer/producer/director behind "Your Tomorrow," a look at Ontario Place the summer before it was shut down after 52 years. For over five decades a 155-acre Toronto waterfront sanctuary, it is being radically redeveloped. Gone are 850 West Island trees. Instead we get a spa with a killer view of Cinesphere.In a moving, observational documentary,Weinstein captures the place in its final days as a full-on family retreat. Even after falling into disrepair, it was still treasured as a bird sanctuary and even a beach.The documentary is rather personal for me. As a student, I worked there as a bus boy for three summers, 1972, '73 and '74. Out the front door of the West Island's Blockhouse restaurant, between shifts clearing tables for two dollars an hour, I watched the CN Tower rise above the Toronto skyline.It never seemed possible back in those halcyon days of summer that Ontario Place would wind up, fifty years later, looking like an abandoned mall. Weinstein's documentary, shot mainly during the park's last active summer of 2023, throws a bright light on that reality. Was Ontario Place purposefully left to rot? Hear Weinstein on that and the making of this doc, which premieres on TVO March 23 and streams on TVODoc starting March 21.

The police say they've arrested a man as part of their investigation into the murder of Stephen Thorpe in Blockhouse Bay last Saturday. Auckland reporter Finn Blackwell spoke to Corin Dann.

Food, History, television shows, work, feedback and more on this week's episode. No topic is too obscure for us to cover! The weather is our first mini topic. A veritable heat wave has descended upon us. From hail to humidity, no one is safe from these extremes. Some days it feels as though we are sitting here melting. We had our yard sale this last weekend. Turns out we prefer going to sales, rather than hosting them. There is a lot of prep work involved. Pricing items is quite important, and having an organizational system is key. Item placement will affect your sales. Keeping your items in line of sight is crucial. Leah goes to a work leadership conference this week. She and her co-workers will exchange ideas, and talk about having difficult conversations. There will be skills fair full of differing booths. This is one of the very few times where Shawn and Leah have been apart for a few days. Richard from Australia provides feedback on our restaurant review episode. This leads to a discussion about The Blockhouse, an eatery in the old St. Mary's Paper building. We then discuss the historic Canal District, the Soo Locks and the Agawa Train tour. Our episode ends with a chat about some recent television we have been enjoying. Season three of Bridgerton was a particular delight. The Boys, The Acolyte and The Big Bang Theory are in regular rotation. There is some chatter about sequel series such at Crusade, Star Trek, Young Sheldon, and the Mandolorian. This week's podcast promo: Monkeeing Around

While many visitors flock to Central Park, only a handful truly delve into the rich past and hidden gems of the 840-acre park! Whether you have half an hour or an entire day to spare, the park's sheer expanse offers something for everyone. But how do you learn about these landmarks as you explore?! Enter the Central Park Audio Guides which provide interesting audio readings of 40+ places in Central Park. In this episode, we'll dive into how to use the free audio guides, where to find them, and even give you a preview of what the audio guides sound like. While you can certainly book guided tours of Central Park, those cost money & require you to be there at a certain time and for a certain amount of time. If you're more of a DIY explorer and like to go at your own pace, the Central Park Audio Guides are for you! These guides offer historical information, fun facts, and little-known tidbits of info about 40+ landmarks. Each audio guide is available in English, Spanish, French, and ASL. For most locations, the audio snippets range anywhere from 90 seconds up to about 4 1/2 minutes. Here are the 2 ways you can use the Central Park Audio Guides. ⏬ Option 1: Phone Call Call the phone number listed on the sign near the location Enter the “extension number” listed on the sign Listen to the audio (preferably with headphones) If you want to save it in your contacts, here's the Central Park Audio Guide phone number: 646-862-0997 The main disadvantage of the phone call route is that you have to find the extension on the sign in the park. Option 2: Bloomberg Connects App Option 2 is to download the Bloomberg Connects app and find the Central Park Audio Guide there. The advantage of the app is that you can search for locations/landmarks without being right next to them. That makes it easy to learn about sections of the park before (or after) you check them out. Alright, here are all of the locations available on the free Central Park Audio Guide & each corresponding extension number (if there's a hyperlink, it's for an article we've written about that specific landmark): Explore the North End: #100 Blockhouse: #101 Fort Clinton: #102 McGowan's Pass: #103 Great Hill: #104 The Harlem Meer: #105 (previously read by S.

Hello! and welcome back to Franco-American Pathways, a podcast from the University of Southern Maine's Franco-American Collection. In this episode of our Voices of Fort Kent series, we present you with footage from our tour of the Acadian Archives with Patrick LaCroix and Madeline Soucie.  We also have some tape to share of a walk to Fort Kent's historical Blockhouse. Unfortunately traffic and wind made it a little noisy, but Patrick had some fun tidbits to share about the historic building and the landscape of the town - make sure to look at the blog post that corresponds to this episode for photos! This episode has a more casual feel to it, and I think it would be particularly interesting to folks who already work in archives and libraries - or have a desire to do so! Think of it as a full episode dedicated to our Archivist's Corner segments. Thank you, and happy listening!  Merci, et très bonne écoute !

During this episode, we meet with wildlife biologist, writer, and media communicator, Bob Bancroft. He is a wealth of information about ecology, forest health, and what has been going wrong in forestry systems, as well as methods that help in the face of climate change, benefit nature and forestry, too. We learn what is possible when one “tickles the forest” with a view to management for wildlife and ecological forestry. He talks about considerations and realities of buffer zones around waterways, the mainland moose, and many current challenges, including a very clear picture of what happens to the animals of a clear-cut forest. For 48 years, Bob has nurtured former pasture land in eastern Nova Scotia back to ecological forest health. The 56 acres now have 52 tree species and many restored wildlife habitats. A former FSC assessor, he stepped down as president of the Nova Forest Alliance, the Model Forest for Nova Scotia and PEI, after a contractor clear-cut a neighbor's land and two provincial, as well as one federal department would not enforce environmental laws that had been broken. Bob is the current President of Nature Nova Scotia, a group of individuals and twenty-five organizations attempting to raise a stronger voice for nature to counter the gutting of Nova Scotia's forests and habitats.EPISODE RESOURCES:Nature Nova Scotia's guided hikes happening May 26-28, 2023 For folks in Lunenburg County, there is now a petition at Chicory Blue in Blockhouse.

Residents of the Auckland suburb of Blockhouse Bay say they feel defeated by Kāinga Ora's decision not to reserve any housing in a new development for retired people. That's despite the fact some of the land was donated to Auckland Council in the 1970's specifically to house the elderly. At a heated meeting last night, locals confronted Kāinga Ora, and said it has a moral obligation to older residents. Reporter Rayssa Almeida was there.  

Residents in the Auckland suburb of Blockhouse Bay say a new Kainga Ora complex is taking away land that was promised to pensioners. The land was donated by a former resident of the area on the condition was used for housing for older people. But 33 elderly residents have been re-homed because of a new social housing development and the community says Kainga Ora's lack of communication is a kick on the guts. Rayssa Almeida has more:  

At the end of March, a request for proposals for development of Blockhouse Hill in Lunenburg will close. And Mayor Matt Risser says there has always been the intention of sharing those plans with residents before any approvals are given. Some residents say there hasn't been enough consultation or transparency throughout the process. They're also asking for a plebiscite or a public meeting over the plans. Risser says there's always an opportunity to improve communications. And the ultimate plebescite happens during municipal elections.

A piece of legislation passed in 2002 called The Lunenburg Commons Act was helped clarify the public use of a 22-acre parcel called Blockhouse Hill. That was property set aside after the settlement of the town in 1753. In 2017, the Liberal MLA for Lunenburg introduced amendments to that act, allowing the elected representatives to make the property available for development. And not surprisingly, many people who are finding out about this now are not pleased. Paula Rennie is one of those residents who says they are still organizing to come up with a strategy. She says not every decision council makes should be up for a public vote or a plebiscite. But she says it's different when those plans interrupt a 270 year old promise.

This week Chris Diamond returns to discuss Ghost In The Noonday Sun, a film in which Peter Sellers in a bad wig and bad accent fannies about for ninety minutes. Goon Pod has clocked up 91 episodes - good grief - and so far we've talked about a dozen or so films either starring or featuring Peter Sellers and mostly they've been pretty good– true, The Blockhouse, Down Among The Z Men and The Great McGonagall are not universally loved (and it still surprises me the number of people who get wound up by The Magic Christian) but none of them are total stinkers. Is GITNS really THAT bad? It's certainly up there as one of the worst films Sellers was ever attached to but it's no Where Does It Hurt. The film features some great actors and performers such as Spike Milligan, James Villiers, Murray Melvin, Clive Revill and blink-and-you'll-miss-him Peter Boyle as well as Anthony Franciosa (described by Chris as being like one of those uncles you had as a kid who wasn't really your uncle) and Dave Lodge with very little to do. The script is pretty wretched, even though it was Milliganised, and had the film actually been released in cinemas at the time no doubt it would have sunk quicker than a pirate ship foundered on rocks. But of course it did result in a memorable telly advert for gaspers. More on that in the show.

The One Where We Chart The Development Of Peter Sellers' Beard! Writer and Summer Wino Bob Fischer is this week's guest - he came along to talk about one of the most obscure and little-seen Peter Sellers films of all: The Blockhouse, from 1973. Despite the film's bleak, at times harrowing depiction of desperate men entombed awaiting the inevitable, it was a very upbeat and enjoyable conversation which naturally flitted all over the shop. Warning: Includes chat about Last Of The Summer Wine, Scarred For Life and Jack Douglas... Bob recalled interviewing one of the actors from The Blockhouse, the incomparable Peter Vaughan, who said he'd enjoyed working with Sellers on the film - by all accounts the former Goon had been on his best behaviour. Several theories abound as to why this might have been. If you haven't seen The Blockhouse - and not many people have - this podcast episode is the next best thing. With laughs.

Episode 1860: Our article of the day is Blockhouse.

Andy Masich, CEO & President of the Heinz History Center, takes a look back at the Fort Pitt Blockhouse

Originally built as a Civilian Conservation Corps project during the Great Depression, the Blockhouse with its great view of Lake Michigan, quickly became a local icon and popular destination. It also became a target for vandals and would survive much before being burned down in 1962. The destruction of this structure proved the communities love of the Blockhouse and after years of campaigning the structure was rebuilt to be used by locals and campers alike again. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-horn/support

ST. HEDWIG — The Blockhouse Café has been awarded a ,500 grant from the Texas Conference for Women in support of its efforts to overcome the extraordinary financial pressures placed on women owned restaurants since COVID. “This grant could not have come at a better time for our business,” said owner Jennifer Bratcher. “We survived the first COVID outbreak that put a major strain on our business with all the tight restrictions that came with it. We are a small mom-and-pop shop that depends on every customer that walks through our door.” The grant, she said, will help The Blockhouse...Article Link

If you look back far enough, you'll come across a rather intriguing plan which dates from 1859 for the two townships of Whau North and South (today's Blockhouse Bay). What was behind all those names slapped across the plan of the landscape from the Manukau Harbour to the Whau Creek back in 1859? Where'd they come from?

El Blockhaus d'Eperlecques es una pieza notable de la historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En marzo de 1943, Alemania comenzó a construir este búnker gigante en el noroeste de Francia. Su ubicación estaba cerca de la pequeña ciudad de Watten, por lo que a veces también se le llama Watten Bunker. El búnker nunca se completó como pretendían los alemanes. Fue descubierto mientras la construcción aún estaba en progreso y fue bombardeado repetidamente por los aliados. Blockhouse d’Eperlecques se diseño con dos propósitos principales. Una era que se utilizaría como fábrica para producir oxígeno líquido. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se utilizó oxígeno líquido como propulsor para lanzar misiles. Más importante aún, el búnker también sería un sitio para lanzar misiles. Sería capaz de almacenar 100 misiles balísticos A-4 y podría lanzar hasta 36 misiles por día. Los objetivos previstos de estos misiles eran Londres y el sur de Inglaterra. La ubicación del búnker en el noroeste de Francia puso esta área dentro del alcance de los misiles, ya que estaba a solo 177 km de Londres.

El Blockhaus d'Eperlecques es una pieza notable de la historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En marzo de 1943, Alemania comenzó a construir este búnker gigante en el noroeste de Francia. Su ubicación estaba cerca de la pequeña ciudad de Watten, por lo que a veces también se le llama Watten Bunker. El búnker nunca se completó como pretendían los alemanes.

General Jan Smuts and his commando have seized the small town of Springbok in the far northern Cape. As we heard last week, the town fell after a few hours of fighting and the surrender of the three forts that dominated its defences. After the town was taken, our narrator Deneys Reitz had fallen into a deep sleep have had no rest for three full days and nights. Reitz slept for 24 hours – and when he awoke it was to a surprise. “I found my friend Nicolas Swart sitting on the bed beside me. He was almost recovered from his wounds, and had just arrived from the south.” An extraordinary man, this Nicolas Swart. He'd been shot through the hip while leaning over and the bullet had passed through his body ending exiting through his chest. Reitz believed he was probably not going to survive. And that was only a few weeks after Swart had been shot in the arm, shattering the ulna. Yet here he was, less than a month after appearing near death. Meanwhile, in Pretoria, Lord Kitchener was tearing at his characteristic moustache. Remember how he had collapsed upon hearing about Lord Methuen's defeat at the hands of General Koos de La Rey. How were the British to capture this large and well-fed marauder? He had escaped certain capture to turn on his pursuers three times in the last six months. First at Moedwil on 30 September 1901 when he had mauled part of Kekewitch column, then at Yzer Spruit on 24 February 1902 when he had devoured most of von Donops wagon convoy protected by a large force of 700 men. He'd seized 150 wagons of food and ammunition there. Then at Tweebosch, he had swallowed Lord Methuen whole. The British now regarded de la Rey as their biggest problem – far more deadly than both General Smuts and Christiaan de Wet. AS well as looting British bully beef and .303 ammunition, he had also looted six field guns, and machine guns. De la Rey's men were now at the peak of their military power and of course the British were sending half trained yeomen into battle.

February 1902 is full of surprises, not least for Lord Kitchener who has designed his great Drives which are similar to hunting Grouse on the moors of England. Lines of men walk side by side, twenty yards apart, driving the Boers before them until they are squashed against the blockhouses and posts where they are forced to surrender in droves. Well that is the theory. Sometimes is worked, sometimes not. In the case we'll hear today where Kitchener's second major drive was launched in the Free State, the theory and the practice were out of kilter. Because Major Rawlinson and his superiors were after the crafty fox, General Christiaan de Wet and President Steyn. Should they capture these two, the Boer war would surely splutter to a halt. De Wet and General Jan Smuts, along with General de la Rey were the symbols of freedom for the Boers, and it was vital for the British to bring them to book. In the Eastern Transvaal, General Louis Botha had fought his last battle as we heard in January, and was now making preparations for a shift in strategy – and region. He had decided that his commando would serve no purpose remaining in the Transvaal and he was headed to Northern Natal where he believed he would have more success. Lord Kitchener had an epiphany. Rawlinson had had one too – but far earlier. Other British commanders had similar moments when the phrase Eureka surely must have escaped their lips. The British drives had been designed as day-time operations, at night the thousands of men would stop and make fires for supper, which is when the Boers would slip between the clearly demarcated fire areas of sleeping English and make their escape. The epiphany was a set of orders that altered how the British army would deal tactically with their enemy - which they pretty much use to this day. In fact, when I was a soldier, we used some of the tactics which the Americans also employed in Vietnam. In a nutshell, it is understanding that owning the night is essential in any war. You control the darkness, you control the coming battle. When walking patrol or moving a group of men of whatever size, one of the most important things to do before the sun sets is to confuse the enemy by pretending to be in a place you are not.

It's the third week of July 1901 and this winter has been cold even by the standards of South Africa's high plains. As I'm writing this, snow has blanketed parts of the semi-desert known as the Karoo and it was no different then. And Deneys Reitz is close to this region. He had found a bolt hole near the Lesotho border where he'd been hiding out with a handful of fellow travellers and his German colleagues. They'd been able to bathe for the first time in months having found a copper cistern. Reitz recovered during his short stint of R&R and was itching to rejoin the war. By the end of June the small band led by Field Cornet Botha started back down the mountains heading towards the Orange River which is the border between the Free State and the Cape Colony. AS they descended they saw a rider approaching. It was a young man named Jacobus Bosman. He would have been shot as a traitor. But Mr Bosman said it was worth the risk, so Reitz and his German troop enlisted him. Unfortunately for Bosman, he should have listened to the advice for as we'll see, his is not a happy ending. After three days of progress the Quixotic group, or the dirty dozen as Dutch historian Martin Bossenbroek calls them, are back on the flat open plains within sight of the Johannesburg-Bloemfontein railway line. By now Lord Kitchener's blockhouse system is causing the Boer guerrilla army some problems because these are close together and crossing the railway line has become very difficult during the day.

The ides of March were upon the British in South Africa as they continued chasing the ghost generals, Smuts, de la Rey, Beyers, de Wet across a cooling landscape that had begun its Southern Hemisphere Autumn in 1901. This week we'll probe an American invention in Cuba called the Blockhouse chain as well as details of how journalist John Tengo Jabavu was publishing pro-Boer commentary against the wishes of both the British and most black intellectuals. We'll return to his experiences later. The tactic of building a chain of forts is ancient, but the most recent examples before the Boer War came from the American War in Cuba. But this campaign had demonstrated that forts by themselves could not prevent guerrilla action and Lord Kitchener who was beginning to build them in South Africa knew that full well. Kitchener's strategy therefore was to integrate the function of the fixed defensive units in fortified blockhouses with mobile attacking units on the drives. These began in January 1901, I've spoken about them in previous podcasts as the British tried herding or hustling the Boers into smaller areas of veld so that they could be overcome. Kitchener believed if the country could be divided into small areas by fortified lines, the Boers in each might be prevented from crossing to the next. His chessboard of maps across his HQ walls featured these regions with the addition of mobile columns that would be moved quickly by train from chess block to chess block while the blockhouses and barbed wire began to string out across the wide-open plains.

Thomas Palmer has quite the range of hobbies, talents and vocations. For example, right now he serves as the law director for the city of Galion, the owner/publisher of a local media conglomerate, and a church organist. That’s not even counting the two years he spent living in Paris, France with the Mormon faith, or his time he spent in the best damn band in the land. We’ve been Twitter friends for a while now, but I really enjoyed getting to know Thomas in the real world.
