Would house costumes, sets and theater classes The Philipstown Depot Theatre has proposed building a two-story facility on town-owned property on Route 403 for costumes and prop storage, set construction, rehearsals and theater classes for high school students. The project, introduced to the Planning Board on Dec. 19, would include public restrooms, and the theater would donate the 3,675-square-foot building to Philipstown and lease it for 40 years. Its classes would cover stage direction, costume, lighting and set design. Stephen Ives, the Depot board president, said the structure would consolidate "scattered" operations. Its costumes are "wedged into a room" at the Philipstown Recreation Department on Route 9D; props are kept in "moldy, mildew-infested" outdoor containers; and the scene shop is "jammed into a garage" at Winter Hill, he said. Larger props are stored at the town dump on Lane Gate Road. "That's been a huge handicap for the theater to try and operate efficiently," said Ives. He said the theater hadn't found a suitable building to renovate. Because the property is within the Scenic Protection Overlay District, evergreens would be planted as screening along Route 403, said Margaret McManus, an engineer with Badey & Watson. Six parking spaces would be created in front of the building, she said. Water would be supplied from a well the town dug for the Garrison Landing Water District before determining it was inadequate. The theater would install a septic system. The Open Space Institute donated the property, which has frontage along Route 9D, to the town for recreational use. A conservation easement allows for a storage structure of up to 4,000 square feet and 25 feet high. The nonprofit "has some issues" with the project because it is "slightly too high, slightly too long and the use is not purely storage," said Ives. "We are in conversations with them about trying to align with their easement." Ives said the Philipstown Town Board has endorsed the project for fundraising purposes. The Planning Board scheduled a site visit for 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 5. Shakespeare housing The Planning Board closed a public hearing on Hudson Valley Shakespeare's application to build a 32-bed residential compound for its performers and will consider a resolution granting conditional approval at its Jan. 16 meeting. HVS wants to construct five residential buildings forming an L-shaped compound in the northwest section of its 97-acre property at the former Garrison golf course. Four of the buildings - two-story cottages totaling 1,000 square feet each - would have two separate bedrooms with a private bath on each floor and a kitchen and living area off the entrance. Joe Regele, a Philipstown resident who was one of several people who spoke during the hearing, asked how the housing would be used when not occupied by artists. Town law would prohibit artists from occupying the housing for more than nine consecutive months, and during its offseason, HVS would be allowed to rent the units for stays of less than a month. Any offseason lodgers would probably be guests attending weddings at the property, said Adam Stolorow, a representative for the project. In its application, Hudson Valley Shakespeare said it wants to build the residences at the same time it is constructing a theater complex so they would be ready for the 2026 summer season. With 12 fewer units than the 44 approved in the master plan, the impacts will be "either the same or less as what was previously studied," Stolorow told the Planning Board at its October meeting.

BBR Witness Gaz H - "Hi Deb, I wanted to get in touch with you after you shared the case where two ladies saw some horrible creatures along the cliffs close to Flamborough head and RAF Bempton. My partner and I had a very similar experience when we visited there in 2022/23. We were staying at a place called Wold farm in the campervan which sits between Dane Dyke and the Cliffs and we were at the top of the farm overlooking the corn fields. The fields are on a steep incline that then drops down as it nears the cliffs. It was at dusk when I saw two creatures I could not identify in the corn field, everything about them was 'off', the way they moved and the build was what caught my attention. These things had very muscular necks and my brain went through every known animal and they didn't fit with anything here naturally in the UK. https://linktr.ee/bbrinvestigationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptids-paranormal-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

Late-night laundry — No one likes laundry, but I have some fond memories of the sights and sounds. The twinkle of evening traffic flashing by the windows in yellows and reds. The crisp autumn air waiting to cleanse you of the steamy confines. When I lived at the top of Winter Hill, I frequented a laundromat at the confluence of Broadway and Main. You could look south from there and see Boston towering in the distance. Her high-rises twinkling. Next door to my old laundromat was a liquor store—I would pick up Smirnoff Ice and drink that **** surreptitiously while folding boxers. Alcohol can be pretty great on laundry night because, sentimentality aside, doing laundry sucks. Especially if you have to do it in public. It can be simultaneously tedious and stressful. The way I've heard war described by soldiers. Obviously, laundry is lower stakes. Yet not without its own cast of belligerents. I had a lady dump my sopping underwear into a cart that wasn't even mine. She kicked it down the aisle toward me as I returned from a smoke break. Me and the dude that had dibs (and clothes already in the cart) were like, "Hey!" That lady was a peak-hour lady. Don't do your laundry during peak hours — folks do not play during peak hours. If you want to learn about a laundromat's institutional knowledge, how it operates, and what is expected of its clientele, subject yourself to peak hours. It's going to suck. I learned a bunch from my one stressful peak-hour laundry visit. Most notably, how to change a dollar and avoid the nickel "convenience fee" on the dollar changer. A lady grabbed my wrist as I went in on the changer. "Use the soda machine," she said, pantomiming, feeding my dollar, and then pressing the white coin return button. Off-hour laundry is less stressful. When regular folks are outside being social, doing homework with the kids, or whatever peak-hour people do at night. I washed my dirty drawers with the lady who cordoned off the back corner with universal dibs, the unkempt dude and his stash of Reader's Digest, the repairman making his rounds, and the ever-changing couple propped against the window making out.

Mr. Keats and his son Allan thought the company might be interested in the lost silver mine.In 2007  Ted and Allan Keats for the Keats-Stares prospecting family received the Bill Dennis Award for a Canadian discovery or prospecting success:The four generations of this Newfoundland family have all been involved in prospecting. Ted, the father, was involved in the discovery of the Point Leamington, Burnt Pond and Tally Pond zones. Sons Al, Calvin, Fred, and Suley followed in their father's footsteps. Al worked with his father on the Point Leamington and Tally Pond discoveries and also discovered Duck Pond and Winter Hill. Calvin has worked all over the world, discovering South Golden Promise and numerous uranium showings in Labrador. Fred discovered a 36-ounce/ton VG boulder on the Appleton Linear for Noranda (now optioned to Paragon). Suley discovered the Beaver Brook deposit with Calvin and has been looking for uranium in Labrador. The following generations – grandsons and great grandsons – are all actively involved in prospecting.To quote Peter Dimmell "I say prospectors have an advantage over geologists because they don't know scientifically what to look for. They look in all the wrong places and find all the right stuff. They just go out, and see something different, and bang on it, smack it with a hammer. That's how these guys worked."It's a sixth sense. You go in the woods, and all the rocks look the same. But for some reason one looks different to these guys.

Anticipating a Giant Storm at a Coastal Bar — "They're out on the Flemish Cap. I got it straight from Big Bob Brown." This episode expands upon a scene from the film The Perfect Storm. Eight hours of an uncrowded Gloucester-esque bar being boarded up amongst the gales whipping up from the harbor. It will be the perfect storm, unfortunately. Speaking of which — If you were to ever visit North Eastern Massachusetts and ask a local a question about something North Eastern Massachusetts. The response will probably begin with, "Well, have you seen the movie ________?" Only two movies usually fill that blank (unless you corner a revolutionary nerd or someone from Winter Hill).  One is a movie that orbits Bunker Hill Community College and Southie. The other is about a doomed vessel sailing from Gloucester.  The Perfect Storm is a love note to New England commercial fishing. The gritty souls that challenge the ocean as an occupation. And the communities that foster this line of work. Their roads occasionally licked with sea spray. I watched The Perfect Storm in a theater near Beverly, MA.  The triumphs and terrors flickered on the screen to the very same community (and my upstate NY ass). These folks remember the 91 storm. In the theater I heard a, "My cousin knew, such in such."  It was probably the most North Eastern Massachusetts thing I was ever a part of.  While The Perfect Storm is a bit overwrought… It's not bad in the way those short-form social media videos with the "Yo Ho" shanty sh!t playing up sea heroism are. The ones that might encourage sea-faring newbs to disrobe and show off some tattoos.  The Perfect Storm seemed pretty legit based on the folks and bars I knew of in the area. And real people were lost to the storm. Which I didn't know until I watched a local newscast covering the decades-old story in anticipation of the movie's release. The news package ended with something like, "And, of course, we all know the ship and her crew have never been recovered."  The element of the film I really liked was the exploration of a modern "widow's walk." In the movie, a few women, whose loved ones are on the doomed vessel, meet at a coastal bar to ride out the storm. They wait for the Andrea Gail to return under a tv screen airing storm coverage. Widow's walks are small balconies or roof decks built into historic coastal homes. Many believe these patios were constructed in earlier times to allow seafarers' wives to scan the horizon for their loved ones.  I believed all that. Then I learned from Nantucket, that the widow's walks are a myth. And now I'm second guessing my theory the bar scene was a nod to the widow's walk or it's just a good spot to bring all non-boat supporting characters into one room... One takeaway was, wow, I can walk to the local fish monger and just point, to get fish. Maybe fish mongers should make it as difficult to buy fish as it is to catch fish. Like set up an obstacle course or something. "while I'm packing this, go into the Flemish Cap bait prep simulator."

The Beast of Winter Hill. Oct 20. Sheep Killed, a 3 Toed Print & a Rumbling Growling Creature.Two men out Rabbiting See a set of Reddish Eyes watching them in their torch light and they Hear a Terrible Growl. The men stumbled up a fresh kill and whatever had hunted it was out there watching them from the darkness. The legends of a Bear Human Hybrid haunting the hills of West Lancashire are not as far fetched as they seem.I was contacted on the 25th October 2020 by a lovely lady named Jackie. Jackie wanted to make a report on behalf of her partner and his friend, who had a terrifying experience the evening before we chatted. Jackie explained her partner Dave and his friend Adam had found “a strange sheep carcass that was still steaming when they approached it up at Winterhill” As they were discussing what animal could have made the kill they both heard a rumbling growling sound.Both men stated “they heard something that night they could not explain” The men were interviewed by BBR Investigators Mick McClaren & Carolan Smith who both heard a similar growl one night close to Edgerton Reservoir in 2019.That night the men were walking on the road that leads up to Winter Hill, a well known spot here in the NW. They were around ¾ of a mile away from the Chinese Gardens. An area where there is a previous sighting of an upright humanoid figure known as the Bear Man of Rivington. They arrived, got their guns from the car and set off, both had torches and as they walked Dave realised that Adam had almost stepped into a carcass of some kind. Shining their torches on to it they both saw a Sheep that seemed to have been almost pulled in half? The carcass was steaming even with the rain and the cold night air. Whatever had killed it, couldn't be too far away as this was a very fresh kill. Adam described the carcass as unusual, the head was missing and the rib cage was snapped in two. Dave agreed he said it looked as if it had been pulled into two pieces. Alarmed by this both men scanned the area around them with torches looking to see what had growled. Adam thought Dave was maybe messing about with him, but as Dave was speaking the growl came again. They quickly scanned the darkness and Dave saw a dark, stocky shape with reddish eyeshine watching them in his torch light. The shape dipped out of view and was gone. They both left quickly and got back into the car. Both were really shaken up and were still in bewilderment when Mick went up to meet them to record the event. Adam stated he felt almost hysterical and was laughing due to the fear he was feeling. He is not prepared to return up to the hill at night alone, which has done in the past many, many times. Even though they were both armed the men felt it would have been impossible to shoot whatever was out there with them, due to the sheer size of the dark shape and the sound of the growl. They both felt the growl came from something big. Adam turned his gun into a bat at that point as he knew shooting at it would be pointless.“The remaining Sheep in the field had flocked together and looked scared and worried. They were acting really strange. The growling continued all through the event. It was a loud, rumbling growling noise”. Adam wondered if this could be paranormal as the growl was so scary. And they both felt watched and stalked all the way back to the car. It was around midnight on a wet night and they saw no humans on the way in or out of the area. Dave said to cover his fear “I think we need bigger guns” They pulled over at this point and tried to get themselves together. Adam stated “he felt helpless and nervous and it was a sickening feeling, almost like fighting in the dark”After the event the men tried to find the growl using google and known animal recordings here in the UK on their phones. They did not find a match with anything. The only sound that matched was the reported noise of a Werewolf on a recording on youtube. Both men agreed the sound was the same as they had heard that evening. They left the area, Dave returned with Jackie a couple of days later and photographed the remains of the Sheep. At this point it is almost picked clean.Mick and Carolan accompanied both men and Jackie back to the area and they were able to see the carcass for themselves. Mick recorded this event and his next visit a couple of days later.Mick and Carolan re-visited with a family member on the next weekend which was Halloween. Being in lockdown no people were up on the hill, that they could see. The group made their way to the area the Sheep was found by Dave and Adam. On examining the area they spotted a Skull which had been driven forcibly into the wall surrounding the field. A spinal column and vertebrae were also found close to the wall. Next to the wall and visible in Micks video is a strange 3 toed print.Mick has video footage of the remains of the sheep and you can find them here on his youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HTkjfqqgLs

On this True Crime episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we look at the infamous case of the serial killer known as the Boston Strangler. Between the years of 1962 and 1964, thirteen women were found killed and strangled in the Boston area. Most were over the age of 60, and no real suspects were being tracked by the police. Meanwhile, a man named Albert DeSalvo was on a spree of serial raping through the area, posing as a repair man or a man from a modeling agency. How do the two things tie together? Why does DNA evidence make officials think DeSalvo is the Boston Strangler, but many experts doubt he did it? Albert DeSalvo checks all the serial killer boxes. His father was a drunk who knocked every single one of his wife’s teeth out and bent all of her fingers back so far they broke. He’d sleep with hookers in their house and force his Albert to watch it. Needless to say, Albert grew up troubled. He tortured and killed animals and was first arrested for robbery and assault at the age of twelve. He was in and out of juvenile detention until he joined the army and things seemed to settle down for him. But, once he was an adult, he took on the persona of The Measuring Man and the Green Man. These were disguises and acts he’d put on to get into a woman’s house and sexually assault them. One source says he assaulted as many as 300 women this way. He did some jail time, got out, started again, and got arrested for it again. Meanwhile, the Boston Strangler started killing people. They were strangled with panties or silk stockings, and they were left on their beds to be discovered. The police had no reason to link DeSalvo to the murders, but in jail, he told another inmate all about it. This inmate, George Nassar, told his lawyer, and eventually DeSalvo confessed to all the crimes with a great degree of detail. However, there was no physical evidence, so he went to trial for the rapes and other charges. So, why do people think he was the Strangler if there is no actual evidence? What lead a member of Whitey Bulger’s Winter Hill gang to kill him in prison back in 1973? Why does an FBI profiler doubt he was the Strangler? Why do some think the Boston Strangler was Nassar, who DeSalvo first confessed to in prison? What did DNA evidence prove about the murders?

Podcast 30 : Back to the Grind Nick and Alex went to Dancing Gnome. Jake had a visitor. We discuss pizza due to Alberta's and DG having a collab this week called Caligula. Jake said Leone's is no longer the best pizza near his place. Jake took our mutual friend Alexis to a bunch of places and had a much more moderate experience with drinking. Winter Hill was first on the list. Friday they hit up the new Trillium location in Seaport, a hotbed for what Boston has to offer. Beer #1 : Hop Juju - Fatheads (Imperial IPA - 9.0%) Super clear and really hop forward. We miss this kind of beer sometimes and its great to have a refreshing switch to all the hazy beers we're used to. We got off the rails a little bit and discuss our favorite Netflix comedy specials and some off of Netflix stuff too. Of course, the obligatory “Go Vote” conversation. Nick and Sara went to DG on Halloween. Costumes were very few and far between. Blue Sparrow food truck was there and they are awesome people and have GREAT food! We discuss fall/winter beers, again. Alex described his experience with Warlock from Southern Tier brewery. Beer #2 : Chameleon - Grist House (DDH NE IPA - 7.0%) Hazy and juicy, but with enough hops to keep it refreshing. Alex and Nick discuss Grist House's wide variety and the clientele. We went over some of the new beers coming up and we want to know what you guys all drank for National Stout Day! Coming up we'll be drinking a ton of stuff while we're celebrating Danks-giving. Beer #3: Oro Negro(2015) - Jackie O's Brewery (Imperial Stout with habanero - 10.5%) This one mellowed out incredibly over 3 years. There's a little bit of heat finish at the end but the balance is much nicer on this one. Sara joined in for a few minutes to try the Oro Negro. Jake has some comments on Henry Cavill's mustache which spawned a discussion of DC vs. Marvel and the movies overall. Nick, Sara and Alex attended The Community Pour at Lorelei in Bakery Square. We discuss the benefit of community and the ability to come together and support the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting. In the end we discuss upcoming events and celebrations and we're looking forward to having some guests out and celebrating the holidays with our friends/family and of course, beer!

March 28, 2016 - Step through the Guardian of Forever and back in time to colonial North America, in the heat of King William's War. Our guide on this journey is Jay Atkinson, called "the bard of New England toughness" by Men’s Health magazine for his approach to writing and his topics. He shares the story of another tough New Englander in his new book, Massacre on the Merrimack: Hannah Duston's Captivity and Revenge in Colonial America. Early on March 15, 1697, a band of Abenaki warriors in service to the Catholic French, raided the Puritan English frontier village of Haverhill, Massachusetts, killing twenty-seven men, women and children, and taking thirteen survivors captive. Hannah Duston and her one-week-old daughter, Martha, were among these survivors -- and it is there that our story begins. Jay Atkinson teaches journalism at Boston University, as well as a critic, essayist, investigative journalist, and itinerant amateur athlete up in Methuen, Massachusetts. He is also the author of the author of two novels, a collection of short fiction, and five nonfiction narrative books including Ice Time and Legends of Winter Hill.

When the infamous gangster Whitey Bulger went on the lam in 1995, the streets of Boston became a war zone between the Mafia and the renegades, with the Winter Hill Gang looking on. Rogue Mobster: The Untold Story of Mark Silverman and the New England Mafia chronicles the inside story of the Boston mob wars of the 1990’s when over two dozen gangsters were killed in a vicious war for control of the Boston underworld. Rogue Mobster is told in the words of Mark Silverman, an outsider from Medford who got inside the mob and became an integral part of the ensuing war. His account is the first-ever inside glimpse into what went on at the street level, why people were killed, and what the stakes were. Silverman grew up in the shadow of Whitey Bulger, Howie Winter, Raymond Patriarca and Jerry Anguilo, bosses of Boston’s most infamous crime families. With a Jewish last name, his opportunities should have been limited in Boston’s Irish/Italian underworld, but he moved up quickly, gaining acceptance across the board. Silverman was ‘made’ in the Patriarca Family as a reward for infiltrating a renegade mob faction backed by a New York family. The book begins with a unique history of the Boston gangland scene and takes the reader up to the late 1980’s,Silverman recounts the shifting alliances and friendships that were torn apart as the various mob factions battled for control of the Boston underworld through the early 2000’s. Rogue Mobster is a firsthand account of the violent Boston mob wars of the 1990s, when bodies were piling up across New England and Mark Silverman was walking a tightrope between Winter Hill and the Mafia.
