This Day in Maine for Monday, July 8th, 2024.
Charlie Howard var en ung homosexuell man som inte skämdes för den han var - någonting som stack i ögonen på människor runt omkring. Folk visade öppet sitt avsky gentemot honom och backade inte undan från att utsätta honom för homofoba attacker och rent hat. Den 7 juli 1984 tog detta hat en ny vändning när tre unga män bestämde sig för att utsätta Charlie för ett brott som skulle avsluta hans liv.........KÄLLOR:https://www.bangordailynews.com/2009/07/12/bangor/where-are-charlie-howardrsquos-killers/https://eu.seacoastonline.com/story/news/local/2021/11/19/portsmouth-memorial-bench-honors-charlie-howard-killed-because-he-was-gay-1984/6404751001/https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Charlie_Howard

With Matt Rushton away, Tom is joined by Charlie Howard and Matt Dawson to chortle at a song about Vikings being thirsty for a drink from a nice big horn.In shocking news, Tom's found a Slayer song he thinks is a Camp Classic, as 'Altar Of Sacrifice' apparently has some queer relevance.

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz talk about a hate crime that took place in Bangor, Maine. It was a warm night on August 4th, 1984 when 23-year-old Charlie Howard was walking home from a church event with his boyfriend, Roy Ogden. While crossing the Kenduskeag River Bridge, a car full of teenagers pulls up and begins to harass and give chase to the two men. Charlie, unfortunately, suffers from severe asthma and is unable to run very far, which allows the teenage boys easy access to kick and beat up Charlie. Eventually, the three boys hoist Charlie up onto the guardrail while he pleads for his life, unable to catch his breath, and they push him over and into the Kenduskeag River. It was 3 hours later that Charlie's body was found, and the next morning the boys are arrested. To this day, Bangor celebrates Charlie's life and pushes for a hate-free community.

ASMR reading of Bloody Beaches: The Marines at Peleliu by Gordon D. Gayle, 1996. Enjoy with headphones. A tinnitus and sleep version has also been recorded for you which includes a light thunderstorm for people who do not experience ASMR sensations from soft spoken words alone. ASMR is intended to reduce anxiety, reduce symptoms from PTSD and depression, and reduce other aspects like tinnitus to help you fall asleep of feel a sensation of calm. This book is public domain as produced by Brian Coe, Charlie Howard, and Project Gutenberg. On D-Day 15 September 1944, five infantry battalions of the 1st Marine Division’s 1st, 5th, and 7th Marines, in amphibian tractors (LVTs) lumbered across 600–800 yards of coral reef fringing smoking, reportedly smashed Peleliu in the Palau Island group and toward five selected landing beaches. That westward anchor of the 1,000-mile-long Caroline archipelago was viewed by some U.S. planners as obstacles, or threats, to continued advances against Japan’s Pacific empire.

In honor of Pride Month, we're releasing a special episode to raise awareness about the history of prejudice that the LGBTQ+ community has been facing for decades. And while society has come a long way, we still have so much room for improvement on diminishing oppression and establishing equality for those communities. This week, we're going to be talking about a hate crime that took place in Maine in July of 1984. This is the story of Charlie Howard. For more information, or to review our source material, visit our website at www.crimewarppodcast.com.Connect with us on FaceBook and Instagram @CrimeWarpPodcast.
In honor of Pride month, this week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of Charlie Howard, a young gay man that was murdered in Bangor, ME in 1984, who never really received justice due to his sexual orientation. As Howard and his boyfriend, Roy Ogden, were walking down the street, three teenagers, Shawn Mabry, James Baines, and Daniel Ness, harassed, assaulted, and murdered Howard for being gay. The youths chased the pair, yelling homophobic epithets, until they caught Howard and threw him over the State Street Bridge into the Kenduskeag Stream, despite his pleas that he could not swim. He drowned, but his boyfriend escaped and pulled a fire alarm. Charlie Howard's body was found by rescue workers several hours later. The boys were sent to the Hancock County Jail and later released into their parents' custody. They were tried as juveniles and sentenced on 1 October 1984 to the Maine Youth Center not to exceed their 21st birthdays, however all parties served less than 24 months. This event galvanized the Bangor community in ways similar to the killing of Matthew Shepard, although the case never attained the same level of national notoriety. This incident inspired a similar scene near the beginning of Stephen King's novel It, in which three homophobic teenagers throw an openly gay man, Adrian Mellon, over a bridge and into the Kenduskeag, where he was set upon and murdered by the monster It in the form of Pennywise. Today, a short distance from the site of Howard's death, a memorial has been erected; engraved on the stone are the words: “May we, the citizens of Bangor, continue to change the world around us until hatred becomes peacemaking and ignorance becomes understanding.” July 7, Howard's death date, is now Diversity Day in Bangor.

Ratio collaborator, the Australian paediatrician Frank Oberklaid wrote to us in the early stages of the Covid pandemic about his and his wife's clinical work. “We have been working from home now for over a month. I run my two clinics from home via telehealth - 70% of the hospital clinics are now run this way – and Fay sees her clients in the same way. It's not too bad for old patients, but very difficult establishing a relationship with new patients. All staff of the research institute are now working from home, and all the hospitals in Melbourne including RCH are preparing for the tsunami that we all hope will not come. I am on zoom all day, and it is tiring in a different sort of way, more so than long days at the hospital. I am supposed to be working 0.8 but it seems busier than that”. Social innovator and psychologist Charlie Howard reflects on Frank's words and her own experience of supporting her patients.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains descriptions of a hate crime. When a young gay man is killed by three teenagers in Bangor, Maine during the summer of 1984, the entire state was hit head on with the issues of sexual preference and prejudice. Kristen shares the story of Charlie Howard, as well as how the very true, very tragic story plays a role in Stephen King's "IT Chapter Two". We've decided to share this story on it's own, rather than part of a longer episode, because of it's importance even 35 years later. To read more about Charlie, please see the stunning piece shared in The Bangor Daily News.
PORTSMOUTH -- Charlie Howard was 23 when he died, 35 years ago, on July 7, in 1984. He was murdered when three boys, ages 15, 16, and 17, threw him off the Kenduskeag River Bridge in Bangor, Maine. He could not swim and they threw him over because he was gay. A memorial celebration of Howard’s life was held on Sunday at South Church. After the service, attendees each took a white rose and walked to the Memorial Bridge, tossing the roses into the Piscataqua River as a tribute to his life.
Charlie talks with Jack (and Brad, of course) about the Cinncinati Auto Expo.
Charlie Howard has a track record for finding, nurturing, funding and scaling ideas put forward by young people. Like Problem Solving Booths. Two chairs set down in a street. A cardboard sign with the word ‘helper' is set about one chair. The other is adorned with the sign ‘helped'. The set up is an invitation. It gives permission for strangers to sit down and help each other. In this podcast Charlie talks about how organisations get in the way of such innovation.

Michael Little, of Ratio, in conversation with Charlie Howard at a public event at Somerset in November 2017. Charlie has been exploring new ways of finding, nurturing, funding and scaling ideas put forward by young people. One of these ideas, problem solving booths, has captured a lot of attention internationally. Michael will be talking to Charlie about this work and what it says about the future of innovation.
Charlie Howard argues that public services should find their users, not wait to be found. Charlie started the charity MAC-UK to provide specialist mental health services to gang members and other at-risk young people. As she began to work with them, she found more and more people who would never have accessed traditional services, but were in desperate need of them. She makes the case that this is also a better, more efficient way to help service users, and argues that other public service providers - from teachers to job advisers - should consider how they can adopt the same approach.

The GP, Gavin Francis celebrates the marvels of the human body while Hugh Aldersey-Williams looks back at the life of the celebrated and ever-curious doctor Sir Thomas Browne. The consultant neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan accepts that telling a patient 'it's all in your head' is unhelpful, but how do you treat those whose symptoms are medically unexplained, and may well have an emotional cause? Charlie Howard runs a youth mental health charity which takes the health professionals out of the clinic and onto the streets, and involves young people at all levels of diagnosis and treatment.
