 Welcome to Ipswich, Massachusetts, the "Birthplace of American Independence!"  The area was part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony that was settled in 1630 by the Puritans.  Ipswich was established in an area that the local Native Americans called Agawam.  The town is 30 miles North of Boston on the Atlantic coast, and 11 miles South of Newburyport (our Disney Trash Water episode in season 1).   Early settlers were predominantly farmers, fishermen, and shipbuilders.  In 1684 the governor of the colony, Edmund Andros, imposed a tax on the colonists.  The citizens of Ipswich, led by Reverend John Wise, revolted and refused to pay the taxes.  The town leaders were arrested and taken to Boston.  The tax proved to be unpopular across the colony and was ultimately rescinded.  Andros was sent back to England.  This uprising led to the town's nickname,"The Birthplace of American Independence."  Ipswich is located about 15 miles from Salem, home of the Salem Witchcraft Trials.  Many of the accused witches were housed in the jail at Ipswich.  One resident of Ipswich, Elizabeth How, was hanged for witchcraft in 1692.  John Proctor, who was also hanged for witchcraft in Salem, was raised in Ipswich.  The oldest part of town has remained substantially intact with more "First Period" houses than any other community in America.  The town has four contiguous historic districts in the oldest part of town dating back to the 17th century.  Ipswich's history includes stories from nearly every major event in American history, a few ghost stories, and other local legends to sweeten the pot.  We hope you enjoy our trip to Ipswich!

This episode is another of those legendary "lost" radio hours from the 2017 20 X-Day Drill that neither Stang nor the Robo-Stang had heard until this week. (Long sordid story.) It starts off a bit lackadaisically but after about the halfway point Dr. Argus Faux raises the ante and gets things pretty fired up. "Cast" includes Dr. Hal, Rev. Fanboy, Rev. Peas, Rev. Eggplant, Dr. Faux, and Dr, Shoggoth. Listening to this recording two years after it was recorded made old Rev. Stang very proud indeed of his future replacements. And a bit jealous.

There was an article in last Sundayâ??s MetroWest Daily News, written by Zachary Comeau, titled â??Towns struggle to track missing waterâ??. The article highlighted 13 MetroWest towns throughout Massachusetts (Ashland, Medway, Hopkinton, Bellingham, Framingham, Holliston, Milford, Sudbury, Franklin, Hopedale, Natick, Southborough, & Northborough) and their trouble with water that is unaccounted for. According to the Department of Environmental Protectionâ??s water conservation standards, 10% is the maximum threshold of unaccounted water for any one community. Out of the 13 towns, Ashland was the worst of the group with 28% of unaccounted water, while Northborough was the lightest offender with only 5% of its water unaccounted for. The other towns who were above the 10% threshold were Milford (14%), Holliston (15%), Framingham (19%), Bellingham (20%), and Medway (22%). In this podcast, Rich talks about how infrastructure issues lead to unaccounted water and how it can affect you, the homeowner.
