On August 23, 2009, Toni vanished after leaving a party at Philadelphia 76er Willie Green's home. Following a disagreement with her friend Crystal Johns, Toni drove off alone and hasn't been seen since. Initial theories that she might have driven into the Schuylkill River were dismissed when searches yielded no results. Two weeks later, an automated license plate reader detected her car in Camden, New Jersey, but it was never found. In 2013, an anonymous letter claimed that Toni was killed during a confrontation with a Camden police officer, and her car was taken to Boston. The letter included details that had not been made public, but police dismissed it as a hoax. Investigator Eileen Law, hired by Toni's mother, continues to believe Toni may have been taken by human traffickers. Despite suspicions about Crystal, police cleared her of involvement. The case remains unsolved, and Eileen Law tirelessly pursued leads, holding onto hope that Toni might still be alive. Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

Tonight I will be speaking to Kelly and Zach. Kelly writes "I'm an avid outdoors person and have had multiple jobs which required me to work in remote locations, sleeping out under the stars and having experiences I can't explain. My brother turned me on to your podcast about a year ago after I had an encounter myself. I called and told him about it and he told me to listen to your podcast. After hearing some other stories I realized I had more encounters that I had never shared because I didn't know how to explain them. I'll just share some of them here and see if you would like more info. The encounter I told my brother about that had him recommend your show took place in western North Carolina near the town of Hot Springs. I was out exploring on my own, which I do a lot and found this abandoned road. I began following it and maybe a mile down the road I saw some skid marks. Being curious about the marks because the road was not accessible, I wandered off the road near the skid. About 300 yards away I found a small teepee type structure built that was about the size of a small tent. I kind of assumed it was built as a blind by hunters. There was no trail or anything. As I looked closer at the structure I could tell the branches had been snapped off to make this structure, not cut with a saw. Not knowing anything about sasquatch or the huts people have reported I looked at this thing a long time trying to figure out how a human would have made it. The other curious thing was the leaves on the inside of the hut were not disturbed, like the structure had been there a while without anyone going inside of it. I began looking around the area more and found two smaller, similar structures. At this point I thought it was a boy scout camp or something where they had built these. I looked around further and started noticing that small saplings had been snapped all around these huts. The only thing I could think is that a vehicle had driven over them but there was no way a vehicle could access this area without leaving a massive sign. I'm about 6'2 220 and I tried snapping them and couldn't get anywhere near being able to snap them. As I began to look around the area further I noticed all the birds stopped chirping and there was a weird chill in the air. I became pretty uncomfortable and then I started hearing what sounded like someone clicking their tongue extremely loud and occasionally a high pitched whistle. At this point I decided I must have stumbled into someone's property or drug area and started to move away. The clicking began to surround me and scared the shit out of me so I started moving quickly to get out. I then heard what sounded like rocks were being thrown. I never stopped to look back but just got to my vehicle as quickly as possible and drove to the nearest bar where I wrote down my encounter. After listening to other episodes I was reminded about a time I worked out at a hunting and fishing lodge in northern New Mexico. I used to get up at 4am every morning and drive around the ranch to make sure all the boats were cleaned and dried out for the guests. This was a gigantic ranch (they say it was bigger than Rhode Island) so you could easily go days without seeing another human. I drove to this remote area in the high country and came around a turn right around sunrise. I spooked this massive creature, which I assumed initially was a bear, it went from being on two legs down to all fours and ran like a wolf. The area it ran was through this open meadow that was probably about 1-2 miles long (if not further) downhill. Its hard to explain but the vantage point I had was from up above and the animal ran down towards a lake. This thing ran those 2 miles in under 10 seconds. It ran with long strides like a wolf but the ground it covered was insane. I told people about it at the ranch and they all made fun of me and said I was seeing things. I have a couple of other stories that are similar if you'd like to hear more. Thanks for taking the time to read this."   Zach writes "I emailed you about 2 years ago regarding the footprints my uncle and I found in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania. After taking some time to think about my own sighting and some other encounters and stories told to me by family, friends and coworkers.....I've decided to finally type up an email. My sighting: In April of 2014, I was in my last few months of high school and had been working at a nursing home in Pottsville, PA in the kitchen. My mother at the time was the supervisor of the the place and I was getting a ride home with her after working 0700-1500. We were driving south towards my hometown, which is only about 4 miles from this sighting. I was in the passenger seat looking out the window, down towards the Schuylkill River and railroad tracks that run along the same route. The train tracks are about 75 yards from the road on a 45 degree angle. The leaves were not on the trees yet because it was right before spring, so I can see the tracks pretty good. Next thing, I see this tall and lengthy.....creature. It almost had the look of Treebeard from the Lord of the Rings Movie. Very tall, long, thin appendages and I could see dark brown/black hair. This creature was standing on the side of the railroad closest to me, looking down at the ground. Not sure why, but it was so eerie and just didn't register in my head until we got home. I told my Mom and she really didn't react. Totally didn't think it could be a sasquatch until you described the different types.

Last year, 3,000 old tires were pulled out of the Schuylkill River, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. And Philly's tire trash problem is only getting worse. There is a law on the books to rein in this type of illegal dumping in the city, but the Department of Licenses and Inspections never fully implemented it. Host Trenae Nuri chats with Jordan Teicher, freelance reporter for Grid Magazine, about this problem and whether it could improve under Mayor Cherelle Parker's administration.  Read Jordan's full story here.  Want some more Philly news?

The Schuylkill River is more than just a tranquil aesthetic along one of the most brutal highways into and out of Philadelphia. It's a vital tributary within the Mid-Atlantic corridor of the United States, serving other key waterways as well. With ever-changing environmental factors acting as a backdrop, Drexel University Associate Professor of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Dr. Mira Olson was one of the lead researchers for a recently-completed study that forecasts how the Schuylkill Watershed will behave over the next 20 years, and what the subsequent ramifications there could be on drinking, irrigation, transportation, energy, recreation, and ecosystem demands in the Philadelphia region and beyond.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Families that live near fracking are calling on Governor Josh Shapiro to get tougher on the oil and gas industry. Rachel McDevitt of StateImpact Pennsylvania reports, the families say the governor's recent partnership with a major driller is not enough. Organizations and municipalities are breaking down county borders to build a continuous trail along the Schuylkill River. Gabriela Martinez reports, it will eventually extend 120 miles, connecting Frackville in Schuylkill County to Philadelphia. Other stories: As more renewable energy sources like solar and wind are developed, more electric transmission lines are needed to deliver that energy to homes and businesses. Berks County is delaying certification of its November election totals because a court ruled that mail-in ballots with no date or the wrong date must be counted.  State police say there were more alcohol-related crashes, and more deaths, on the roads over Thanksgiving than during last year's holiday. The borough of Newville in Cumberland County is facing tough choices to deal with money problems. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kevin Righter's book, Philadelphia's Pencoyd Iron Works: Forging Along the Schuylkill River began as a family history project. Righter's great grandfather, Walter Righter worked at Pencoyd from 1885 through 1933, retiring as superintendent of motive power. When Righter began research for this project, he realized that little had been written on Pencoyd Iron Works, which operated in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia for nearly a century, so he sought to fill that gap. This interview covers that family history and interweaves it with the history of steelmaking in the United States, from Pencoyd's opening in 1852, through coming under control of US Steel to its closure following the end of WWII. Pencoyd's steel was most famously used in the construction of bridges and the first elevated railways in the United States, but many architects in the late nineteenth century incorporated Pencoyd steel into their structures, including Philadlephia's Frank Furness. Many bridges and structures containing Pencoyd manufactured steel still exist around the world today in places as far apart as Japan, Sudan, Mexico, Taiwan, Kenya, and throughout the United States. Kevin Righter works in planetary sciences in Houston, Texas. He has a lifelong interest in genealogy and Philadelphia's industrial history.

Ep.170 MAREN HASSINGER (b. 1947) has built an interdisciplinary practice that articulates the relationship between nature and humanity. Carefully choosing materials for their innate characteristics, Hassinger has explored the subject of movement, family, love, nature, environment, consumerism, identity, and race. The artist uses her materials to mimic nature, whether bundling it to resemble a monolithic sheaf of wheat or planting it in cement to create an industrial garden. Within the past five years, the artist has executed commissions for Dia Bridgehampton, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Aspen Art Museum. Work is currently installed on the terrace of the Art Institute of Chicago, along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, at Longhouse Reserve in East Hampton, and in Ugo Rondinone's Sculpture Milwaukee. Hassinger will be included in the upcoming exhibition Groundswell: Women of Land Art at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas and will be honored with an upcoming two-person survey alongside Senga Nengudi at IVAM, Valencia as well as an exhibition focused on their work in performance at the Cooley Gallery, Reed College, Portland, OR. She is the recipient of the Women's Caucus for the Arts Lifetime Achievement Award. Her work can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago; the Hirshhorn Museum; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; the San Francisco Museum of Art; the Walker Art Center, and the Whitney Museum, among others.  Photo credit ~ Museum Associates/LACMA  Susan Inglett Gallery https://www.inglettgallery.com/artists/255-maren-hassinger/overview/Smithsonian | Hirshhorn Museum  https://hirshhorn.si.edu/explore/maren-hassinger-hirshhorn-artist-diaries/ Getty https://www.getty.edu/news/getty-acquires-maren-hassinger-archive/ Dia Art https://www.diaart.org/exhibition/exhibitions-projects/maren-hassinger-exhibition-301 LongHouse Reserve https://longhouse.org/products/artist-maren-hassinger MICA https://www.mica.edu/graduate-programs/rinehart-school-of-sculpture-mfa/maren-hassinger/ Inquirer https://www.inquirer.com/arts/schuylkill-river-public-art-steel-bodies-philadelphia-20230623.html Brooklyn Rail https://brooklynrail.org/events/2023/06/02/maren-hassinger-process/ Culture Type https://www.culturetype.com/2023/09/05/latest-news-in-black-art-sonia-boyce-now-represented-by-hauser-wirth-getty-acquires-maren-hassinger-archive-tomashi-jackson-wins-rappaport-prize-more/ The Grio https://thegrio.com/2023/09/08/getty-acquires-archive-of-renowned-artist-maren-hassinger/ Sculpture Milwaukee  https://www.sculpturemilwaukee.com/nature-doesnt-know-about-us/maren-hassinger MCAD https://www.mcad.edu/events/visiting-artist-lecture-maren-hassinger Art Pil https://artpil.com/announcements/maren-hassinger-process/ MICA https://www.mica.edu/graduate-programs/rinehart-school-of-sculpture-mfa/maren-hassinger/ Wikipedia   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maren_Hassinger MoMA https://www.moma.org/artists/41280 Hammer https://hammer.ucla.edu/now-dig-this/artists/maren-hassinger Socrates Sculpture Park  https://socratessculpturepark.org/artist/maren-hassinger/ Artic https://www.artic.edu/exhibitions/10139/maren-hassinger-this-is-how-we-grow Association For Public Art https://www.associationforpublicart.org/apa-now/news/the-association-for-public-art-brings-maren-hassingers-steel-bodies-to-philadelphia/ The Great Northern Festival https://thegreatnorthernfestival.com/2023/maren-hassinger-love-for-minneapolis The Art Newspaper https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/08/30/maren-hassinger-archive-acquired-getty-research-institute Beverly Press https://beverlypress.com/2023/09/hassinger-works-added-to-getty-archive/

August 23, 2009. Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. 29-year old Toni Lee Sharpless attends a party with her friend, Crystal Johns, but when Toni becomes intoxicated and starts displaying erratic behaviour, both she and Crystal are asked to leave. While driving away, the two friends get into an argument which leads to Crystal being kicked out of the car. This is the last time Toni or her vehicle are ever seen and there is concern that her disappearance might be connected to her struggles with bipolar disorder. Two weeks after Toni goes missing, her car's licence number is flagged in Camden, New Jersey, and years later, an anonymous letter surfaces which claims that Toni was killed after an altercation with a police officer. Did Toni vanish because she accidentally drove her vehicle into the Schuylkill River? Or did something a lot more sinister happen?

Willkommen zurück bei ParaPower Mapping; mein name ist Klonny Gosch. We're taking a road trip today—all aboard the Boston Brahmin Watch tour bus. That's right, we're heading south to Philly to explore the German Pietist & Rosicrucian sect known as the Chapter of Perfection and their communitarian community on Schuylkill River. Get ready for some colonial-era angel/ alien sightings and more alchemical weirdness. patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping This EP includes: The Boston Brahmin Watch bus origin story; an intro to Johannes Kelpius, his birth in Transylvania (harmonizing this EP's vampire theme), matriculation at the Uni of Altdorf, and conversion into the Pietist collegium called the Chapter of Perfection; the Chapter of Perfection's influences (Phillip Jacob Spener, Johannes Valentin Andreæ, Paracelsus, Jakob Böhme, cabalists like von Rosenroth, etc.); the Chapter of Perfection's emigration to the New World; their pansophic & millenarian beliefs; the Chapter's selection of Society of the Woman in the Wilderness as the name for their new commune, inspired by Revelation and the war in heaven; Kelpius's Diarium; the Chapter's purported celibacy; a goofy entry from Kelp's journal that includes a Latin pun on body orifices that seems to hint at possibly antinomian or sexually transgressive practices among the members; the Chapter's vessel Sarah Mariah Hopewell getting marooned on a sandbar and "God's intervention" at Kelpius's behest, saving their voyage by lifting the ship to safety w/ a massive wave; a battle against 3 French ships on the high seas; the Chapter & the British captain seizure of the slaves aboard the defeated French vessel, & the possibility that the Chapter owned slaves; their settlement in colonial Philly; their gematric & numerological beliefs, and their insistence on keeping their order to only 40 members; their 40 sq ft tabernacle, which was built to conform to the holiness of the 40 (the decade of the perfect number); the crude observatory they built on their property; Kelpius's hermit cave, which he hollowed out to serve as his anchorite-esque hermitage & alchemical laboratory; their pursuit of the Elixir of Life; Chapter of Perfection expert Julius Sachse and his comparisons between the Chapter & the Cathars; Cabalistic symbols of numbers; the Monad; 4, the equal perfect number & symbol of deity; the Chapter's attempts at proselytizing to the Indigenous; evidence of the prevalence of historiographical beliefs in Native American Hebrew ancestry among the Chapter of Perfection, and a little speculation that they may have been familiar w/ John Dee's favorite Prince Madoc theories; a momentary detour into discussing Köster's belief that their indigenous neighbors were descended from "Celt-Iberian" or "Celt-Hebrew" peoples / one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel; questions of the settler-colonial utility of these kinds of beliefs; visits from emissaries sent by the King of Sweden; more searching for universale menstruum; the Chapter of Perfection's inaccurate apocalyptic timeline; the crazy account of an angel sighting by the Monks on the Wissahickon; multiple stories of remote viewing & teleportation among Chapter of Perfection members; the death of Johannes Kelpius; his assistant's disobedience and attempt to hide his arcanum, which Kelpius saw w/ his 3rd eye; another account of a ship Capt.'s wife visiting Conrad Matthai, who used his abilities to locate her husband; regenerative Elixir of Life rites; a note about vampiric alchemists; and much, much more. Songs: | Willie Nelson - "On the Road Again (Live)" | | Angelo Badalamenti - "Audrey's Dance" (Twin Peaks OST) | | Roky Erickson - "Night of the Vampire" |

In the 1790s, things began to change rapidly in Philadelphia. One man, John Nicholson, sought to take advantage of these changes and build a modern industrialized factory on the banks of the Schuylkill River. But he kept running into one persistent issue: his workers expected to be paid. Music: The Preacher and the Slave by Joe Hill, arranged and performed by Sam James.

"Have you ever been to a new city and realized you'd been pronouncing a street or a town name all wrong? Have you ever been from one of those cities and has it broken your heart to hear someone call Copley Square Cope-ly? Or pronounce the Schuylkill River or Worcester how it is spelled? This is how neurologists feel when you call a stroke a cerebrovascular accident, or a CVA. It's just … not what we do. Maybe it was in 1992, and maybe it is in the world of billing and coding, but it's not 1992, and billing and coding have never made sense. If we did call it a CVA, there'd be a high-impact factor journal called CVA instead of one called Stroke. And the International Stroke Conference (ISC) that brings together hundreds of thousands of stroke (not CVA) neurologists from around the world would be called the ICVAC. That acronym is just not as sexy or easy to say, you get the drift." Aleksandra Yakhkind is a neurointensivist.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Maurice Scott was just a kid when he was introduced to rowing during a learn to row camp at Bachelor's Barge Club. But when he noticed that no one else looked like him at regattas on the Schuylkill River, his father's moral support motivated him to keep at it. Five years later, as a member of a Philadelphia City Rowing's newly-launched high school program, he was a part of the Philadelphia City Champs M8. Maurice went on to row for the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia and today rows for Potomac Boat Club in Washington, D.C. He is a lightweight sculler with championship titles, multiple corporate sponsors, and a personal mission to be a face of positive change in the world of rowing.

Song: Ancient Green Words & Music:​ by Kathleen Hannan Notes: Kathleen says she caught this comforting song while lying on a huge rock next to the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, crying her heart out over a relationship that was transforming.  A beautiful oak tree was growing out of the rock, and as the song was born her sorrowful feelings washed through with the sound of the river, and she was left feeling whole, and at peace with the way things were. She also shared this story with me, "One time I sang the song in a show with a group of women drummers. Their teacher, a lovely African man, also played with us in the concert and rehearsal. After I taught them in the rehearsal and we had played it for a while, the African drummer told me that the song felt like an African song to him. That was one of my happiest moments, since I have for so long felt inspired by African diaspora music. And I did not really feel like I wrote that song... it just came through as a whole as I cried by the river."  Songwriter info: Kathleen has been writing, collecting and sharing songs for over 50 years. Her songs were awarded a North Carolina Arts Council Songwriter Fellowship. She currently leads the Bodies, Voices & Spirit Choruses in North Carolina and Maine, and is also a Dances of Universal Peace leader. She's a student of the Heart, and she facilitates The Work of Byron Katie. Links: Kathleen's blogpost & recording of Ancient Green with guitar, bass, piano, and drum.

This is: At Home With Our Homies. At Home With Our Homies is an Interview Podcast that started right as COVID-19 Began. Hosted by Jayson Siano, CEO & Founder of Sabre Real Estate, who utilized this extra time home to interview his friends who happen to be the top producers in the Retail, Fitness, Health, Real Estate and Business industry. Listen along for entertaining interviews full of deep perspective on the current state of things along with quirky rapid fire questions and more! Our Host: Jayson Siano @JaysonSiano Our Guest: Steven Gartner @Chrmshg Today, our own Jay Siano interviews Steven Gartner, executive vice president of CBRE, a globally integrated commercial real estate and investment services firm that transforms real estate into real advantage. Steven Gartner's entire professional career has been dedicated to the commercial real estate industry, culminating with him joining CBRE's global retail platform as Executive Vice President. Steven also held a dual-role as Managing Director of Retail in the greater Mid-Atlantic region, part of the leadership that guided over 500 CBRE retail advisory and transaction professionals in North America. Currently, Steven is delivering customized Enterprise Solutions for both retailers and owners/investors. By utilizing the multiple disciplines of the entire CBRE platform, he is providing winning strategies in today's complex retail climate, both in the US and worldwide. For retailers, it involves strategy, site selection, logistics, facilities management, and construction/project management. For owners/investors, it seamlessly connects design/placemaking, marketing, construction, operations, development, and capital markets. It further integrates the full power of CBRE's non-retail expertise,such as office, industrial, hospitality, and multi-family expertise to a retail-derived project. From his hometown base of Philadelphia, Steven has represented the expansion of some of the household names in retailing, and is an innovative marketer of both new and existing properties, ranging from suburban strip centers to the storefronts that have become part of the Center City renaissance. He has negotiated hundreds of highly visible transactions ranging from big-box roll-outs to prestige boutiques, having been involved in multiple leases for Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, Old Navy, Kohls, Brooks Brothers, David's Bridal, Kohl's, Marshalls/TJ Maxx, Crate & Barrel, and The Cheesecake Factory. His property activities concentrate on high-street and premium projects in the region. Long-term, high-profile advisory and leasing engagements include the successful re-merchandising of Suburban Square on Philadelphia's Main Line, one of the most storied retail properties in the nation, and owned by Kimco. Steven also leads the team on 2.5 MSF Schuylkill Yards, one of the most ambitious mixed-use projects in the US. The CBRE team is advising Brandywine Realty Trust on the retail component of this multi-block development in Philadelphia's University City on the banks of the Schuylkill River. Prior to CBRE, Steven served as President and Partner of Metro Commercial Real Estate, and before that, was chief Operating Officer of Michael Salove Company (now MSC Retail). During that time, he brokered two of the largest shopping center sales in recent years, the sale of Riverview Plaza & Columbus Crossing for $75 million, and the sale of Quartermaster Plaza for $91 million, both purchased by Cedar Shopping Centers.

After a rough dip in the Schuylkill River, the Detective has to confront the fact that there's an entire army about to be let loose on Philadelphia, and they're responsible. Time to sit back, have a drink, ask all of the people involved what they should have said before the case started, and get to the bottom of things. The real hinky factor: it all might hinge on a spirit in a local graveyard by the name of Claire of the Passage. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/david-ellis07/support

Last June the largest oil refinery on the East Coast of the United States blew up. In the disaster’s wake, can the city of Philadelphia and its residents transition to a cleaner, more financially sound future? ---On June 21, 2019 the largest oil refinery on the East Coast exploded. The blast released thousands of pounds of toxic hydrogen fluoride gas into the surrounding Philadelphia air, and launched bus-sized debris across the neighboring Schuylkill River. Through sheer luck, the dissipating effect of winds on toxic gasses, and thanks to the clear headed emergency action of refinery operators, no one was seriously injured in the moments following the blast.Yet many in this city point out that the refinery leaves behind a legacy of health impacts, including elevated asthma rates in the densely populated neighborhoods that surround the site. The refinery also leaves a vast patch of urban landscape that is so toxic that it’s doubtful that it can ever be used for residential development.In the months following the explosion, the city, its residents, and business interests jockeyed over the site’s fate. Proposals were floated to repurpose the site as a logistics hub, return it to its natural state as a tidal marshland, and even to repair and reopen the damaged refinery itself. Yet, the decision on what to do with the site would ultimately be made within the walls of a Delaware bankruptcy court, where the priorities of the refinery’s creditors would take precedence.On January 22 the waiting came to an end. The court announced that a Chicago-based real-estate company had agreed to purchase the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery for $240 million dollars. The buyer has not yet announced a detailed vision for the site, but has a history of redeveloping industrial locations for less-polluting uses. Yet the auction’s losing bidders aren’t looking to go quietly, and there may be more drama to come.Dr. Mark Alan Hughes, director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy and former founding sustainability manager for the city of Philadelphia, talks about the sale of Philadelphia Energy Solutions and what the future may hold for the city of Philadelphia.Related ContentBeyond Bankruptcy: The Outlook for Philadelphia’s Neighborhood Refinery https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/paper/beyond-bankruptcyThis Energy Transition is Different.

Overlooking the Schuylkill River the cemetery was founded in 1836 as a final resting place to famous - and not so famous Philadelphians, and a arboretum retreat.   He discussed its founding by John Jay Smith, then four miles outside of the city, and its goals of recognizing the accomplishments of its great men and women, and by default, the history of the city.  He discussed Victorian attitudes toward death and the notables found there with their magnificent memorials and then the slow decline of the cemetery's fortunes as attitudes changed and the city, and Fairmount Park, enclosed it.   We talked about the Friends founding in 1978 and their efforts to restore the 85 acres to their former glory.  Nick told us of the many events held there each year.  Tours, concerts, circuses and dramas are offered to raise funds for restoration.  Tickets are now available for the annual Gravediggers Ball coming October 18.  The black tie/costume ball will be held this year at the Mutter Museum.   We talked about the 11th annual REST IN PEACE 5k, October 5th, a timed, costume optional run through the cemetery.  Register now at rip5k.org/ Today visitors are invited to walk, bike or walk dogs through the grounds.  A downloadable app is available to create your own tour or you can get info and a map at the gatehouse.  The cemetery is open every day.   For more information about the cemetery and its residents visit thelaurelhillcemetery.org.   You can also learn about Friend memberships that include members-only events and tour and gift shop discounts.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

August 23, 2009. Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. 29-year old Toni Lee Sharpless attends a party with her friend, Crystal Johns, but when Toni becomes intoxicated and starts displaying erratic behaviour, both she and Crystal are asked to leave. While driving away, the two friends get into an argument which leads to Crystal being kicked out of the car. This is the last time Toni or her vehicle are ever seen and there is concern that her disappearance might be connected to her struggles with bipolar disorder. Two weeks after Toni goes missing, her car's licence number is flagged in Camden, New Jersey, and years later, an anonymous letter surfaces which claims that Toni was killed after an altercation with a police officer. Did Toni vanish because she accidentally drove her vehicle into the Schuylkill River? Or did something a lot more sinister happen? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we cover a tragic missing persons case and explore all the different potential theories.

Today is the very first National Onion Day.   It was founded by the National Onion Association which represents almost 500 growers from across the United States.   The association celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. Onions are a member of the bulb family. There are twenty-seven different types of onion. They all grow underground and they're one of the easiest vegetables to grow.   There's an old saying that says that the thicker the onion skin, the colder the winter will be.         Brevities #OTD    It was on this day in 1787 that the naturalist Thomas Say was born.    Say was born to a Quaker family and was a relative of the Bartrams.   Say grew up making frequent visits to their botanic garden on the banks of the Schuylkill River   Say was one of the first naturalist in the United States to advocate for the naming and describing of native flora and fauna. Before Say's time, plant and animal specimens were sent to Europe for identification. The long sea voyage took a toll on specimens and there were often identification errors as a result.   Say's specialty was entomology and Say is often considered to be the father of descriptive entomology in the United States.   Say died from typhoid fever on the 10th of October in 1834, at the age of 47.  His long obituary ended with these words:   "On the 8th, the hopes of his friends were flattered by a deceitful calm. On the day following, these hopes for chilled;  He appeared sinking under debility, when on the 10th, death came over him like a summer cloud.  He met the embrace as the weary traveller falls into the arms of restoring sleep.  Intellect triumphed to the last hour.   He left his wife directions as to his Library and Cabinet of Natural History."       #OTD  Any was on this day in 1861 that the Courier and Argus out of Dundee, Scotland reported the death of a botanical guide: William Williams.   The newspaper account said:   While his party rode slowly forward on ponies, Williams indulged in his favorite science; collecting plants. When they arrived at the summit he left them again in order to gather some ferns. The party waited for him 90 minutes and then finally descended. Scouts were sent out and his body was found lying 300 yards beneath the precipice from where he fallen.   Before he died, Williams had begun to realize that he was living a sort of contradiction by locating rare plants for collectors, he was contributing to their extinction.   Today Williams tombstone reads:   "William Williams, upwards of 25 years botanical guide at the Royal Victoria Hotel. Killed by a fall while pursuing his favorite vocation."       #OTD  And it was on this day in 1889 that William Guilfoyle married Mary Alice darling.   Guilfoyle was the director of the Royal Botanic Garden, Victoria.    When he married Alice, he decided to take his first holiday from the gardens in 17 years. They took a nine-month grand tour of British and European gardens and Forests. It was really quite the experience and it's documented wonderfully in this book called Mr. Guilfoyle's Honeymoon.   Just so you know, you can only get it on Kindle.           #OTD   Anniversary of the death of Elizabeth Cabot Agassiz.   Agassiz was an American naturalist, an educator, and the first president of Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  She grew up in an intellectual family. In 1856, she married married the Swiss naturalist, Louis Agassi. She became an intimate part of his life and work.   When they were first married, she started a girls school in their home to bring in some extra income.   When Louis died, Elizabeth was 51 years old. His death spurred her to establish Radcliffe College.       Unearthed Words The Glory of the Garden by Rudyard Kipling Our England is a garden that is full of stately views,  Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,  With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;  But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye. For where the thick laurels grow, along the thin red wall,  You will find the tool- and potting-sheds which are the heart of all;  The cold-frames and the hot-houses, the dungpits and the tanks,  The rollers, carts and drain-pipes, with the barrows and the planks. And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose,  And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows;  But they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam,  For the Glory of the Garden occupieth all who come.     Today's book recommendation: Practical Botany for Gardeners by Geoff Hodge This book explains over 3,000 botanical terms. I think one of the reasons this book is so helpful is that it is so beautifully put together. The Denver Post said: "It is a gentle guide to the green world... organized precisely how a non-botanist would need it done." The book is heavily illustrated and it's illustrated in a very decorative way. It's one of my favorite books to give to new and experienced gardeners. Part handbook, part reference, Practical Botany for Gardeners is a beautifully captivating read. It’s a must for garden lovers and backyard botanists who want to grow and nurture their own plant knowledge.   Today's Garden Chore It's time to make a map of your garden.   You can do this yourself. You can do this with the help of Google Earth. You can even hire your own illustrator.   This chore was actually inspired by the article I read in the Detroit Free Presson this day in 1958.   A nurseryman was talking about how his customers could be most helpful. In his mind, a garden map was the most helpful tool that he could use with his clients.         Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   I ran across an article in The Marion Star in Marion, Ohio, on this day, in 1894.   The article was titled Blooming Beauties and it contained these charming brevities;   Sweet alyssum is the most satisfactory of all the hardy annuals. It flowers early and late, and all the time.   It is a curious fact, that some flowers are only fragrant at night, like the Hosperis tristls and the Lady Washington pelargonium.   A simple, way to remember the difference between Virginia Creeper and the poison ivy is this: if the vine has five leaves, corresponding to the five fingers of your hand, you may handle it; if it has only three leaves, you may not handle it.     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

In the years since the Revolutionary War, legend has obscured the story of the Battle of Paoli, better known in history as the Paoli Massacre. For this first-ever full-length treatment of the battle, the author has uncovered never-before-published primary documents to tell of British General Charles Grey's brutal attack on Anthony Wayne's division of 1,500 men in September 1777. The detailed account follows the action from the arrival of Wayne's division south of the Schuylkill River, near Paoli Tavern, to defend Philadelphia against Howe's encroaching troops to Grey's discovery of Wayne's position, the bloody battle that ensued, and the subsequent court-martial of Wayne, who had been accused of negligence.

In part 2 of episode 3, host Patricia Kim and student intern Grace Boroughs talk to Philly-based scientist Peter DeCarlo and artist Roderick Coover about the ways that they address issues of data poverty and patchiness by ground-truthing. Although they approach Philadelphia’s riverine refinery landscapes using different research methods, their work collectively demonstrates how various modes of study complement one another. Tune in as Grace asks Peter about his research on the river and with The Schuylkill River and Urban Waters Research Corps. Then, listen as Patricia talks with Roderick Coover about his imaginative works around the Delaware Estuary in an era of sea-level rise, about the potential of arts-driven inquiry, and about cultural heritage.

The #1 New York Times bestselling authors of The Heart of Everything That Is return with one of the most inspiring—and underappreciated—chapters in American history: the story of the Continental Army’s six-month transformation in Valley Forge. December 1777. It is 18 months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and some 12,000 members of America’s beleaguered Continental Army stagger into a small Pennsylvania encampment 23 miles northwest of British-occupied Philadelphia. The starving and half-naked force is reeling from a string of demoralizing defeats at the hands of King George III’s army, and are barely equipped to survive the coming winter. Their commander in chief, the focused and forceful George Washington, is at the lowest ebb of his military career. The Continental Congress is in exile and the American Revolution appears to be lost. Yet a spark remains. Determined to keep the rebel cause alive through sheer force of will, Washington transforms the farmland plateau hard by the Schuylkill River into a virtual cabin city. Together with a dedicated coterie of advisers both foreign and domestic—Marquis de Lafayette, Baron von Steuben, the impossibly young Alexander Hamilton, and John Laurens—he sets out to breathe new life into his military force. Against all odds, as the frigid and miserable months pass, they manage to turn a bobtail army of citizen soldiers into a professional fighting force that will change the world forever. Valley Forge is the story of how that metamorphosis occurred. Bob Drury and Tom Clavin, the team behind such bestsellers as The Heart of Everything That Is, The Last Stand of Fox Company, and Halsey’s Typhoon, show us how this miracle was accomplished despite thousands of American soldiers succumbing to disease, starvation, and the elements. Here is Steuben, throwing himself into the dedicated drilling sessions he imported from Prussian battlefields. Here is Hamilton, proffering the shrewd advice that wards off his beloved commander in chief’s scheming political rivals. Here is Laurens, determined to integrate the Continental Army with freed black men and slaves. Here is Lafayette, thirsting for battlefield accolades while tenaciously lobbying his own king for crucial French aid. At the center of it all is George Washington, in the prime of his life yet confronting crushing failure as he fends off political conspiracies every bit as pernicious as his incessant military challenges. The Virginia planter-turned-general is viewed by many as unqualified to lead the Continental Army after the humiliating loss of Philadelphia, and his detractors in and out of Congress plot to replace him. The Valley Forge winter is his—and the revolution’s—last chance at redemption. And, indeed, after six months in the camp, Washington fulfills his destiny, leading the Continental Army to a stunning victory in the Battle of Monmouth Court House. The momentum is never again with the Redcoats. Valley Forge is the riveting true story of a nascent United States toppling an empire. Using new and rarely seen contemporaneous documents—and drawing on a cast of iconic characters and remarkable moments that capture the innovation and energy that led to the birth of our nation—Drury and Clavin provide the definitive account of this seminal and previously undervalued moment in the battle for American independence. Tom Clavin is the author or coauthor of sixteen books. For fifteen years he wrote for The New York Times and has contributed to such magazines as Golf, Men's Journal, Parade, Reader’s Digest, and Smithsonian. He is currently the investigative features correspondent for Manhattan Magazine. He lives in Sag Harbor, New York.

Tami Shimp from Berks Nature and Tom Davidock for the Delaware Estuary Partnership share the story of collaboration. The collaboration doesn’t work without your participation. The Schuylkill River Watershed is huge and includes all the land surrounding streams and rivers that flow into the Schuylkill River. It all ultimately drains into the Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean. In the past decade over 500 projects and 400 million dollars have been invested to protect the waters and keep them clean and safe for drinking, for wildlife and for recreation. Tom talks about 8 clusters of focus including restoration or land improvement, agricultural practices, and land conservation. You are invited to be part of the solution to clean water. Plant trees and shrubbery near streams. Participate in Schuylkill Scrub clean-up efforts and projects. Learn how what you do every day affects our precious water resource. Most importantly take advantage of this gift of water, not just for drinking and bathing but for recreation too. The more you use it the more you value it.

Tom Davidock from the partnership for the Delaware Estuary share the water journey with Tami Shimp of Berks Nature. Like the ankle bone is connected to the hip bone so are our waters connected. North of Kutztown the waters flow from the Saucony Creek into the Maidencreek and Schuylkill River. From there the water flows into the Delaware Bay, the Delaware River and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean. Tom Davidock heads up SAN, or the Schuylkill Action Network, whose primary focus is the drinking water protection program. Tom says the goal is to “bring together anybody and everybody who has a vested interest in keeping the Schuylkill water clean”. Tom says it’s simple. Homeowners can use more environmentally safe products. Schools can plant a rain garden and businesses can make sure nothing is leaking from their dumpsters. You’ll find lots of ideas and projects at www.schuylkillwaters.org. Tom says, “the reality is we can’t do it alone”. He encourages everyone to enjoy our waterways, kayak, fish and play along the streams. Learn more about our water resource, the more we know about it and use it the more we appreciate it!

"The Jester and the Straw Roof" is a trickster tale from India about a poor man who gets his due by exercising his wits - in effect, by playing a joke on someone rich and powerful, which is appropriate, since this individual is a joker by trade. But we trade the traditional concept of a court jester for the persona of Batman's nemesis The Joker, as interpreted by the late Heath Ledger, and ably imitated by our resident mimic Zephyr. We also are aided and abetted this week by our friend Cassia, since we come to you from her hometown in Massachusetts. We talk about the tour that Dennis and Zephyr took of Valley Forge National Park, just north of Philadelphia. During the winter of 1777-78, Gen. George Washington and his men took a very different kind of tour of this property, a military stand to fight back the British invasion. It was a harsh winter and the troops worked under extreme hardships, often having inadequate clothing and little food. Even Washington had it rough, sharing cramped quarters, with several members of his staff - although he certainly was better off than the troops. At least he was in a fine old house with servants and a comfortable bed; they on the other hand, slept in crude little log huts - or on the ground while they were constructing these! We were able to see some very accurate replicas of these huts, and they looked anything but inviting, in any kind of weather. We also toured Gen. Washington's painstakingly restored house on the Schuylkill River, furnished just as it might have been when he was using it, down to the pens and papers on the desk. We also mention the alternating days of bike touring that Kimberly and Dennis have been doing from Valley Forge to Bristol, CT, getting in as many as 65 miles a day - often on very hilly terrain. At least the soldiers never had do that! Happy Listening, Dennis (Maharajah), Kimberly (narrator), Zephyr (Jester/Joker) and Cassia (the wife) Learn more about Valley Forge
