Philips Brook Dam Removal Advances

Hoving Home will reroute, widen waterway The Philipstown Conservation Board determined on Tuesday (June 10) that there would be no significant environmental impacts if the Hoving Home removes a dam and reroutes a section of Philips Brook that runs through its property in Garrison. The board's vote concluded the environmental review for the $1.8 million project, under which the treatment program for women plans to remove a 10-foot-high dam originally built decades ago to create a swimming pond. It will then move 800 feet of the brook north into a new 30-foot-wide channel that will be 3 to 5 feet deep, enabling it to hold more water. Some sections of the stone wall constraining the brook as it flows west to Constitution Marsh will be removed, as will one of the footbridges and one of three lower dams, or weirs. Dirt excavated for the new channel will be used to fill 300 feet of the brook and the two other weirs. Despite multiple repairs, the dam and the stone walls have sustained extensive damage from flooding and face greater water pressure as storms intensify and become more frequent, according to Inter-Fluve, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm overseeing the project. If the dam failed, the rush of water could damage downstream properties, creating a liability risk for the Hoving Home, said Nick Nelson, a fluvial geomorphologist with Inter-Fluve who reviewed the project during a Conservation Board public hearing last month. The project is also expected to improve passage for fish and other aquatic species and reduce flooding along Snake Hill Road. "There's water still flowing through, but what used to be a pond is filled with gravel and cobble," said Nelson. "If that dam were to fail catastrophically during a storm, all of that material would be washed downstream." Hoving Homes submitted an application for a wetlands permit in June 2025. After neighbors raised concerns about potential flooding, the board asked its consultant, SLR Engineering, to review Inter-Fluve's projections. SLR found Inter-Fluve's modeling to be adequate. The Conservation Board, which still must issue a wetlands permit, concluded that the Hoving Home had taken steps to reduce temporary "moderate-to-large impacts" related to drainage, erosion and flooding during construction. Beth Greco, the Hoving Homes president and CEO, said it plans to begin the project in the spring. Under a permit approved by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, Hoving will be prohibited from undertaking in-stream work from Oct. 1 to April 30, when trout spawn and incubate. Once finished, the new channel will be wider and shallower than the existing one. Boulders will be placed along its bed to create "step pools" — areas of deeper water to slow the flow and reduce erosion of the banks. The pools also provide "resting stops" for fish and oxygen-rich water during periods of turbulence, according to Inter-Fluve. Native plants will cover the new bank. In addition, according to Inter-Fluve, the reconstruction will avoid two areas of "archeological sensitivity" identified in consultation with the state Historic Preservation Office, which considers the site eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The configuration will send "additional flow" through a culvert that carries the brook under Avery Road, according to project documents. Walter Hoving received a $200,000 grant to replace the town-owned culvert, which is considered undersized. But Greco said last month that the property lines bordering the culvert prevent it from being widened. "It's in good enough shape to keep," she said.

The Leadership Habit
Managing Change Effectively in the Workplace With Nick Montalbine

The Leadership Habit

Summary Managing change in the workplace requires more than new strategies or systems. In this episode, Nick Montalbine explains why many change efforts fail due to overloaded systems, lack of trust, and employee burnout. He explores practical frameworks for improving focus, rebuilding trust, and creating healthier workplaces that adapt more effectively to change. Organizations are experiencing constant disruption. AI is changing workflows. Teams are navigating restructures, layoffs, shifting priorities, and increasing pressure to produce results with fewer resources. Amid all this uncertainty, leaders are still expected to guide teams confidently through change. The problem? Most organizations are approaching change the wrong way. In the latest episode of The Leadership Habit Podcast, Jenn DeWall sits down with change leadership expert Nick Montalbine to discuss why so many workplace change initiatives fail and what leaders can do differently. Their conversation explores overloaded systems, employee burnout, breakdowns in trust, and the hidden signals leaders often miss during organizational change. Meet Nick Montalbine, Founder of Inner Voice Analytics Nick Montalbine is the founder of Inner Voice Analytics, a consultancy focused on helping organizations detect cultural and operational issues before they become major problems. With more than 20 years of experience leading transformation efforts in complex organizations across Nike, healthcare, finance, and retail, Nick specializes in leadership development, organizational listening, and transformation strategy. Throughout the episode, Nick introduces a simple but powerful framework leaders can use to better manage change in the workplace: attention, trust, and energy. Why Managing Change in the Workplace Often Fails One of the most important takeaways from the episode is that most change initiatives do not fail because employees resist change. They fail because organizations operate within overloaded systems. According to Nick, overloaded systems occur when organizations attempt to manage too many competing priorities at once. Problems become filtered, decisions get delayed, communication breaks down, and employees stop speaking up early about risks or concerns. As a result, workplace change efforts slowly lose momentum and direction. Nick explains that leaders should pay close attention to three critical areas that determine whether change efforts succeed or fail: Attention Trust Energy When these areas become depleted, employees stop signaling problems. They stop sharing ideas, raising concerns, or challenging assumptions. By the time leaders recognize the issue, long-term damage is often already done. Attention: The Hidden Barrier to Workplace Change Modern workplaces are overloaded with competing priorities. Teams are juggling strategic initiatives, daily operations, meetings, emails, system changes, reporting requirements, and constant interruptions. Leaders often continue adding more initiatives without removing old ones. According to Nick, this creates a major attention problem inside organizations. Employees struggle to determine what truly matters day-to-day because everything is presented as urgent and important. One practical framework Nick recommends is evaluating work based on two factors: Strategic importance Complexity This creates four categories: Boulders: high importance, high complexity Rocks: high importance, lower complexity Pebbles: low importance, low complexity Low-value work: low importance, high complexity The goal is not to eliminate important work. The goal is to prevent organizations from taking on too many “boulders” at once. This is especially important for leaders managing organizational change. Employees cannot focus effectively when priorities constantly shift or when every project is treated like a top priority. Clear communication, monthly prioritization conversations, and realistic workloads all help improve organizational focus during periods of change. Trust: Why Employees Stop Speaking Up Trust plays a major role in successful workplace change. Nick describes trust as employees feeling safe enough to say the hard things. When trust is low, people stop raising concerns, stop sharing ideas, and stop challenging decisions. Leaders often mistake silence for agreement. In reality, silence may signal disengagement, fear, exhaustion, or psychological withdrawal. Jenn DeWall highlights a common workplace reality many leaders overlook: eventually, employees may stop trying to help because they no longer believe their input matters. Nick points to several warning signs that trust may be declining: Fewer ideas are shared in meetings Reduced curiosity Less disagreement or debate Employees are becoming quieter or more withdrawn Rebuilding trust requires leaders to consistently listen and act on feedback. Nick also recommends creating intentional space for dialogue by encouraging healthy disagreement and even assigning someone to play the “contrarian” role during meetings. Another important insight from the episode is that annual employee engagement surveys are no longer enough. Employee sentiment changes too quickly in modern workplaces. Leaders need more frequent opportunities to understand how employees are feeling and to identify concerns before they become larger cultural problems. Energy: The Burnout Problem Leaders Cannot Ignore Many employees are trying to manage heavy workloads while simultaneously adapting to organizational change. That creates a major energy problem. Nick references research identifying three different forms of burnout: Overload burnout Under-challenged burnout Neglect burnout Most leaders recognize overload burnout, where employees feel buried under excessive work demands. But many overlook the other two forms. Team members may feel disengaged because they are underutilized or disconnected from meaningful work. Others may neglect their own well-being due to stress, isolation, or emotional exhaustion. This is particularly important during periods of organizational change because burnout reduces engagement, creativity, collaboration, and resilience. Leaders should pay attention to shifts in participation, energy, communication patterns, and overall engagement. Small behavioral changes may indicate that employees are struggling long before performance issues appear. Managing Change Requires Better Leadership Systems Managing change in the workplace is not just about communication plans or new processes. It requires leadership systems and a company culture that support people through uncertainty. Organizations need: Clear priorities Open communication Psychological safety Regular employee listening Realistic workloads Ongoing leadership development Without those systems, even well-intentioned change initiatives can fail. This is one reason leadership development matters so much during periods of disruption. Leaders need practical tools to manage communication, accountability, emotional intelligence, trust, delegation, and organizational alignment as they navigate change. Programs like Crestcom International's Crestcom LEADER help leaders build these skills through live-facilitated learning, real-world application, accountability, and ongoing coaching support.

However, successful organizational change management isn't just about moving the fastest. Managing change effectively requires creating an organizational structure in which employees can stay focused, speak honestly, and maintain the energy needed to adapt. As Nick Montalbine explains throughout the episode, leaders should pay attention to the signals their organizations are sending. Silence, disengagement, burnout, and confusion are not random workplace problems. They are indicators that systems may be overloaded, and people may need more support.

Great Boulder's Highly Mineralised Boulders | Andrew Paterson (ASX: GBR)

Great Boulder Resources has just unveiled a whopping 4,434g/t gold assay at its Side Well Gold Project in Western Australia. The company already has a 1 million ounce resource and has outlined a plan to increase this to 1.5 million ounces, located right on the edge of three processing plants. Guest Bio Andrew Paterson is the Managing Director of Great Boulder Resources. He is a geologist with more than 25 years of experience in the mining industry, spanning exploration, resource development and project generation across Australia and internationally. Prior to joining Great Boulder, he held senior roles with several exploration and mining companies where he was responsible for discovery and advancement of gold projects in Western Australia. At Great Boulder, he is leading the company's exploration and development strategy at the Side Well Gold Project near Meekatharra. Produced by Resource Media The Hole Truth: Mining Investment Podcast is a product of Read Corporate. Please note that Read Corporate does not provide investment advice and investors should seek personalised advice before making any investment decisions. Key Insights 1. Exceptional High-Grade Assay Highlights Depth Potential Great Boulder recently reported an extraordinary 4,434g/t gold intercept at the Side Well Gold Project, one of the highest-grade hits recorded in the industry this year. While extremely high-grade zones are typically small, they demonstrate the presence of rich gold-bearing structures at depth and reinforce the potential for continued discovery beneath the existing resource. These “bonanza” zones occur in structural dilation points where coarse gold accumulates. 2. A 2.5km Resource Corridor With Potential to Become a Regional Super Pit The current resource extends across approximately 2.5 kilometres of strike between the Mulga Bill and Eaglehawk deposits. With only a narrow gap of limited drilling between the two areas, upcoming drilling programs aim to confirm continuity that could effectively link the deposits into a single large open pit system. At current gold prices, conceptual pit optimisations already suggest a large combined mining footprint. 3. Targeting Growth From 1Moz to 1.5Moz Resource Great Boulder currently hosts a 1 million ounce resource at Side Well, with roughly 62% in the indicated category. The company's next strategic objective is to increase the total resource to around 1.5 million ounces, which could translate to roughly 1 million ounces of mineable inventory after studies and conversions. Achieving that scale would significantly enhance development and partnership options. 4. Strategic Location Near Multiple Processing Mills A major advantage for the project is its proximity to several operating or proposed processing facilities in the Meekatharra region. Within trucking distance are three potential mills, including Westgold's Bluebird facility only about 25km away. This infrastructure access creates multiple potential development pathways, including toll treatment or acquisition interest from nearby operators seeking additional feedstock. 5. Accelerated Drilling and Development Pathway Underway Great Boulder is ramping up exploration with multiple drilling rigs targeting both resource expansion and new discoveries around the existing corridor. The company is simultaneously advancing mining leases, approvals and development studies to shorten the timeline from exploration success to production readiness. As resource growth and permitting progress in parallel, the project could become increasingly attractive to strategic partners or regional consolidators.

Aron Ralston's extraordinary story of survival after an 800-pound boulder trapped him in a remote Utah canyon captured global headlines in 2003. In his New York Times best seller, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, the Oscar-nominated film, 127 Hours, and on stage, Ralston takes audiences vicariously through those six days without water, means of communication, or hope of escape, to the ecstatic moments when he freed himself by severing his own arm. Aron later returned to his outdoor passions, completing elite mountaineering projects which remain unrepeated even to this day. Aron's incredible triumph in the face of insurmountable odds inspires audiences to harness the power of their deepest motivations, relationships, and mindset to transform personal and professional "boulders" into their blessings. Summary In this deeply reflective conversation, Aron Ralston revisits the defining experience of being trapped alone in Blue John Canyon in 2003 and the six days that ultimately forced him to amputate his own arm to survive.  Rather than retelling the story as a tale of shock or heroism, Aron reframes it as a profound exploration of identity, meaning, and choice.   Aron traces his journey back to childhood, his move to Colorado, and his early draw to the mountains as both refuge and proving ground. He explains how intellect, ambition, and a desire to test his limits led him away from a conventional career path and deeper into solo adventure. The canyon, he reflects, was not a random accident but the culmination of a long-standing internal question: Who am I when everything is on the line?   Inside the canyon, Aron describes the psychological evolution from panic and rage to stillness, problem-solving, and ultimately love. His survival hinged not just on technical reasoning, but on meaning-making: connecting to family, future relationships, and a vision of life beyond the canyon. Love became the fuel that allowed him to endure pain, deprivation, and fear long enough to find a way out.   The conversation moves beyond survival into what came after. Aron reflects on fame, recovery, fatherhood, depression, loss, and how the experience reshaped his understanding of adversity. Rather than seeing the canyon as trauma alone, he describes it as a teacher that clarified values, revealed hidden capacity, and reframed suffering as a catalyst for growth. The episode ultimately becomes less about the moment he cut off his arm and more about how humans meet their hardest moments and decide who they will become on the other side.   Takeaways ·       Extreme adversity reveals identity rather than creating it; pressure exposes who we already are. ·       Problem-solving alone is not enough. Meaning and emotional connection often provide the real fuel for endurance. ·       Panic narrows possibility. Stillness, breath, and perspective reopen options when everything feels lost. ·       Love can be a practical survival tool, not just an abstract emotion. ·       We often create the challenges that ultimately shape us, even when we don't recognize it at the time. ·       Trauma is not the end of the story. What matters most is what we choose to do with it afterward. ·       Adversity can become an asset when it is integrated, not avoided. ·       Gratitude does not require the situation to be resolved; it can coexist with pain and uncertainty. ·       Asking for help is not weakness. Even the most "solo" journeys are never truly alone. ·       The real transformation happens after the crisis, in how we live ordinary days with greater awareness and intention.   Notes: Book: Between a Rock and a Hard Place Speaker page: Aron Ralston motivational speaker

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨Three caravans/trailers were blown up by strong winds on Holtavörðuheiði, a mountain road between the north and west of Iceland. Nobody was hurt, but SARS also had to help a group of motorcyclists off the mountain road, due to heavy winds. The weather on Friday also brought a thunderstorm to the west of Iceland. A rarity. ✨Egilsstaðir, a town in east Iceland saw the the thermostat reach 29,8 celsius on Saturday. That is the highest temperature recorded in Iceland this century, though it still does not pass the all time record of just over 30 degrees, recorded - also in the east - in 1939.✨A boulder fell on the the ring road road south of Eyjafjallajökull, in south of Iceland on Sunday. This spring, in the same area, a boulder hit a car, killing a woman who was visiting Iceland. The locals have for long complained about the safety of that stretch of road, but so far nothing has been done to amend it.✨Third of Icelanders pay for Spotify and the platform is almost responsible for 100% of streaming in Iceland. The Chairman of STEF (Composers' Rights Society of Iceland), Páll Ragnar Pálsson says STEF is not planning on withdrawing the the catalog of Icelandic music from the service, and points out individual artists can do that. He says that STEF is working with other composers' rights societies abroad in order to try to put some pressure on Spotify. But because of what? There are three reasons, first, the extremely low revenues that artists get for streaming. Second, the numerous fake artists that also skim money from streaming on Spotify, and which in some cases seems to have happened with Spotify's consent, and third, the recent move of Spotify's CEO into weapons development and manufacturing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Teen, Joseph Koenig, Convicted of Murder For Dropping Boulders Off Busy Overpass

Teen, Joseph Koenig, Convicted of Murder For Dropping Boulders Off Busy Overpass Jurors in Jefferson County needed barely two hours Friday morning to convict Joseph Koenig of first-degree murder for hurling a landscaping rock through the windshield of Alexa Bartell's moving car, killing the 20-year-old as she drove near Arvada in April 2023. Deliberations began late Thursday and resumed at 9 a.m.; by 10:45, the panel had returned guilty verdicts on every one of the 19 counts Koenig faced. Koenig, now 19, stood accused not only of Bartell's murder but of unleashing a late-night rock-throwing spree that terrorized motorists across northwest metro Denver. Prosecutors charged him with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder for the other cars struck, three counts of second-degree assault, and six counts of attempted second-degree assault. While the jury found Koenig guilty on each allegation, several counts were reduced under Colorado law. Last week jurors heard from nearly two dozen witnesses, including victims who recalled the sudden shatter of glass and the panic of losing control at highway speed. The most damning testimony came from Koenig's two friends—Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak—who took plea deals and told the jury Koenig threw the fatal rock. The defense pounced on Karol-Chik's earlier statement to police suggesting Kwak hurled the final stone, but both men insisted on the stand that Koenig was responsible for Bartell's death. Koenig himself never testified. Instead, defense lawyers called Laurence Steinberg, a Temple University adolescent-brain researcher, to argue that impulsivity and Koenig's ADHD lessened his culpability. Deputy District Attorney Katharine Decker countered in a pointed cross-examination, pressing Steinberg to acknowledge that teenagers can still foresee lethal consequences. Koenig was a high school senior at the time of the incident. Originally scheduled for trial last summer, the case was postponed for a court-ordered mental-health evaluation after Koenig's attorneys cited an ADHD diagnosis and borderline personality disorder. Closing arguments Thursday distilled the stakes: prosecutors said Koenig acted “knowingly and intentionally,” while defense attorney Martin Stuart asked jurors to convict only of reckless manslaughter—calling his client “guilty of a crime, but not murder.” Evidence showed that Koenig, Karol-Chik, and Kwak circled back to the crash scene on April 19, 2023, photographing Bartell's disabled Chevy Spark instead of checking on her or dialing 911. That callous post-attack behavior, prosecutors argued, underscored Koenig's indifference to human life. After the verdict, Bartell's mother, Kelly, stood outside the courthouse clutching a framed photo of her daughter. “These have been the hardest two years of our lives, but we got justice today,” she said through tears. “It doesn't bring Alexa back, and that's horrible. But we hope no family ever has to live this nightmare again.” District Court Judge Mark Randall set Koenig's sentencing for June 3 at 8:30 a.m. Victims and relatives will be allowed to address the court before penalties are imposed; a first-degree murder conviction in Colorado carries an automatic life sentence with the possibility of parole after 40 years. Karol-Chik and Kwak, who pleaded guilty last year to lesser charges—including second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted assault—are scheduled to learn their fates on May 1 and May 2, respectively Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Finding anomalous gold values in a dozen samples, including up to 6.7g/t, on the first ever prospecting trip to the target trend is a huge success for the project and our team”, commented Targa CEO, Cameron Tymstra. “Every trip we have made to Opinaca we have come back with more encouraging data to support our thesis that a gold system exists in the area. We have gone from a geochemical anomaly to a 7km trend supported by gold grain data and now for the first time we have found anomalous gold in boulders spread across the trend. We are continuing to work with Kenorland Minerals to make plans for a return to Opinaca in 2025 to continue advancing the project towards discovery.” Targa's Opinaca project in in the James Bay region of Quebec saw a 5km x 4km gold-in-till anomaly discovered in late 2023. Targa acquired 100% ownership of the Opinaca Project from Kenorland Minerals in December 2022. As experts at gold-in-till anomalies, Kenorland remains the operator of the project to the benefit of Targa shareholders. The June 2024 exploration program has concluded and the company is planning to commence a Sept 2024 work program shortly.

In mid October the members of the Ohm-g Podcast plus our scrumptious friend Lisa Lucario took a field trip to Pennsylvania to visit architect Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece of Falling Water commissioned in the 1930's by the Kaufmann family. A couple of our members had visited it before and were dying to have the rest of us experience the energy of that place. The house Wright designed is built into the side of a mountain integrated perfectly with the waterfall that moves effortlessly beneath it. Boulders and rock formations from the hillside are even encapsulated into some of the walls and floors of the interior of the home. It is an amazing display of design and craftsmanship. The energy of the continuously running water in and around the home truly amplifies every aspect of the building. We rented an airbnb near the house in Mill Run PA. And ato paraphrase our cherished member Lynn who so eloquently put it during a lull in conversation on the tour of the Falling Water, “there are Spirits up in here.” The house we rented was near a civil war battleground and the energy of the house and land was off the charts. We can't wait for you to listen as we share many of the experiences we had on the quick little get-a-way that none of us are soon to forget.

The Risk Of Rolling Boulders

Yes, you read that correctly. Today's show is a deep dive into a due diligence item that we often don't think about.  I'm going to read a few extracts from an engineering letter we received as part of an information package on a property.  The project in question is a residential subdivision with a large rock outcropping in the middle of the property. The top of the hill consists of large boulders and the residential area below is surrounding the rock outcropping. The residential homes would be situated on more level ground.  The possibility of a rock fall can only be mitigated in a few ways. Move the dwellings far enough away that the risk is minimized  Actively stabilize the structure  Introduce barriers to create a layer of protection in case something does fall All of these solutions come at a cost. Retaining walls can cost more than $1,000 per linear foot depending on the height. You can end up spending hundreds of thousands, or perhaps even millions if you have a large scale site with vast unstable structures.  This type of situation can be further amplified by destabilizing events. In this particular instance, there is a known seismic surface fault within 150 feet of the subject property. There is a second engineering report governing the potential for seismic activity with the fault. An earthquake in the immediate area may not be enough to damage the buildings in the planned subdivision. But they could easily be enough to destabilize the large boulders that sit on top of granular and silty material that could easily liquify when subject to seismic activity. This could increase the probability of rolling boulders.  ------------ **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
