Gem-Grandpa Bill's Developing Mnemonic example of -Short Story Incorporating Pegwords in Modal Order: The Greater Portland Crab CaperThe salty air of Portland, Maine, hung heavy as Detective Ray "The Hound" Howland, a grizzled dog with a nose for trouble, arrived at the scene. A giant ice sculpture, commissioned for the annual "Frozen Fest," had been mysteriously defaced, a single word etched into its crystalline surface: IONIAN.His partner, a nervous pig named Officer Percival, squealed, "It's the Modes Gang, Ray! They're hitting all the landmarks!"Howland sighed. The Modes Gang, a group of musically inclined vandals, was terrorizing the city. Their leader, known only as "The Lion," left cryptic clues at each site, each related to a different musical mode.Their second target was the Old Port district. A majestic lion statue, usually roaring defiance, was found serenely reclining, a tiny harp beside it. The word LYDIAN was painted on the base."They're getting bolder," Howland growled, surveying the scene. A trail of tiny footprints led away from the statue. "Looks like a mouse was here."The trail led them to the Portland Observatory, where they found an ape gazing sadly out at the harbor, a mournful ballad playing on a nearby antique radio. The word AEOLIAN was scrawled on the railing.Inside the observatory, a flickering lamp cast eerie shadows on a group of experimental musicians, playing dissonant music. The final word, LOCRIAN, was spray-painted on the wall.."This isn't just vandalism," Howland realized. "It's a musical message."Just then, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, a flamenco dancer. "Dorian," she purred, before her arrest.As the police led their suspect away, Howland finally understood the message. Each mode was a clue, leading to the gang's hidden concert hall, where they were about to unleash a sonic attack on the city.#MemoryPalace,#MusicalModes,#MagneticMemoryMethod,#PortlandMaine,#CrabCaper,#MnemonicFiction,#MusicMnemonics,#GrandpaBillPodcast,**************LISTEN TO THE MASTER OF THIS PROGRAM-Dr. Anthony Metivier!CLICK AT THE LINK BELOWhttps://www.magneticmemorymethod.com/pegword-method/?vgo_ee=%2FvBwlwra4sp74NsL%2FEWnl1mHDeiMEB3MkOnT4HSxyY5o8J2e1CI%3D%3AbzCrI4oaQpAfVKDXjmyvYDF%2B2EK%2BGlMWCreative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare

This episode centres on Marseille's most popular sights, the Old Port, the hilltop church of Notre Dame de la Garde, and the Canebière, the wide avenue leading back from the port into the heart of the city. After a few snippets of history, we tour such sights as the fish market, the iconic canopy built to mark Marseille's year as a City of European Culture in 2013, an ancient tower and a surprising link to Odessa in Ukraine. We might take the little ferry across the harbour, we'll certainly walk - or maybe take the 'petit train' - up the hill to Notre Dame de la Garde, where a huge golden statue of Mary the Virgin watches protectively over the city.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head down I-95 to Portland to discuss the case of Amy St. Laurent, a beautiful young woman living in Southern Maine, who was abducted in plain sight on a night out in the Old Port. After two months of massive search efforts by the Portland Police Department, the Maine State Police and the Maine Warden Service, Amy was found buried in the woods off Route 22 in Scarborough.

The chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours (Our Lady of Good Help) is Montreal's oldest stone church, sitting for hundreds of years as a beacon of hope. It celebrates a special milestone this year, 250 years, having acted as a refuge for residents, pilgrims, sailors and travelers arriving by the St. Lawrence River and Seaway. Today we'll explore together a fascinating chapter of Catholic history in North America, and learn that key to the story of this chapel, and the Catholic community of Nouvelle France, is St. Marguerite Bourgeoys. She was the first teacher of the colony of Ville Marie, and founder of the Congregation of Notre Dame, and was laid to rest on the site she worked so hard to consecrate for the Lord, with help of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Faith Full is a Catholic podcast hosted by Tony Ganzer. This episode features Carole Golding, Pastoral Coordinator of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel in Montreal.

The original chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours was founded by St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, building a foundation for this chapel and community that has survived war, fire, and the many difficulties of early colonial life. A statue of the Blessed Virgin overlooks the Old Port of Montreal, where sailors and settlers would arrive after facing the grueling path to the New World. This place represented peace. Refuge. And it still does, in a way. Montreal is a vibrant city, and the oldest quarter has its share of foot traffic: tourists, locals, pilgrims. The historic port, market, neighborhood, can feel quaint at times, and overwhelming at others. The chapel gives space for a quiet moment with God. You may remember our episode from the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, the site of the only Catholic Church-approved Marian apparition in the US. That site has since been renamed the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion to reflect the place where it occurred, but it doesn't take away I think from the original devotion to Our Lady of Good Help at that site, and the importance of the devotion here in Montreal.

This week is all about Montreal, Canada and the French-influenced culture just North of the Border. We tagged along on our friend Patrick's (see Episode 66 for more info) vacation and were transported into Europe when we were met by Old Montreal's historic architecture. We were in for quite the twist when we found an underground city with 20 miles of shops, restaurants, transit - a fully functioning metropolis below ground! Our food experience, though, was rather dysfunctional. From Labor Day closings to charred kebabs and cold steak, we kept in the Skiptown tradition of rollercoaster restaurant adventures. Still, being among top sites like Notre-Dame Basilica, Mont Royal, Olympic Park, Old Port and SO MANY charming neighborhoods, we LOVED Montreal's vibrant, cosmopolitan flair. We're suckers for the European culture that lives just a few hours from Upstate New York and a return trip is already in the works... who's joining us in June, 2024? We're going to be dropping an "Ask a Local" Episode for Montreal on our YouTube Channel soon. Check it out!

In the mid-90's a non-alcoholic dance club called The Cage opened in Portland, Maine at 50 Wharf Street in the Old Port. What happened next resulted in a law suit against the Chief of Police Michael Chitwood by the business owners.
Murder Of Missing Woman, Investigation And Arrest. Conceptions About Police Shootings. He talks about the gripping investigation into one of the most shocking murders in recent Maine history. The abduction and murder of Amy St. Laurent. Plus, the misconceptions and lies about Police Officer involved shootings. Joseph K. Loughlin, retired assistant chief of police for the City of Portland, Maine, is our guest. Joe talks about the Amy St. Laurent case, the intricacies and challenges of the investigation, arrest and conviction of her killer. He also talks about how the murder and investigation had a profound impact on the police officers involved. She disappeared following a night out in Portland, Maine's Old Port district, during which she had taken an acquaintance for a night on the town. She was spotted at a pool hall, indulged in pizza, and concluded her evening at a dance club. It was unusual for Amy to leave the dance club with two men she had just met that night, but she did so and headed to an apartment to attend a birthday party. Tragically, Amy was never seen again. Amy's family and friends grew increasingly worried when they failed to receive any communication from her the following day, and their concern deepened when she didn't arrive for work. After an intensive two-month search led by the Portland Police Department, with assistance from the Maine State Police and the Maine Warden Service, Amy was ultimately discovered concealed in the woods. Tragically, she had suffered a brutal assault, showed signs of sexual assault, and had been fatally shot. Her murderer was subsequently found guilty and handed a 60-year prison sentence. Joe also discusses the lies and misconceptions spread by the media about officer-involved shootings. Plus the two books he co-authored with Kate Clark Flora, "Finding Amy: A True Story of Murder in Maine" and "Shots Fired: The Misunderstandings, Misconceptions, and Myths about Police Shootings".
