00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.519
<v Speaker 2>you may have noticed it is a Thursday morning, and

4
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 2>it is a little bit chillier than we've grown accustomed to.

00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.640

15
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.280

16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Christina Rex has been following this case and says a

17
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 3>former friend has just taken the stand.

18
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 4>The full day of Jen McCabe on the stand, as

19
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 4>she told prosecutors among the frantic and Canton on January

20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 4>twenty ninth, twenty twenty two, where John O'Keeffe's lifeless body lie.

21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 5>She started yelling and pulling Amy to google hypothermia and

22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 5>google how long it takes for somebody you know to

23
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 5>die in the cold.

24
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Had you ever ever attempted to search about hypothermia anytime

25
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>before that moment? That morning now or that day now?

26
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 4>Karen, did you tell Jen to make that Google search

27
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 4>that morning at six twenty three?

28
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 3>I did not tell Jen to make a Google search.

29
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>I certainly didn't tell her to make the one at

30
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 3>two twenty seven either.

31
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 2>The Cabe is expected to return to the stand when

32
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 2>court resumes tomorrow morning. Right next door, the noted Karen

33
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Reid's supporter and blogger known as Turtle Boy, is told

34
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 2>he's skating on thin ice by another judge in Norfolk

35
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Superior Court, prosecutors won Aiden Kearney's bail on witness intimidation

36
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>charges revoked on allegations that he's violating the terms of

37
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 2>that bail. The judge seems to be focused on Kearney's

38
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>repeated quest for revenge against the family of a Canton

39
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>cop for comments Kearny believes are against Reed's defense. A

40
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>decision on bail is expected in the next couple of weeks.

41
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>She's already agreed to resign, but pressed on when Boston

42
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>City Councilor Tanya Fernandez Anderson takes offense. This comes to

43
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 2>a head when a fellow councilor this week brings up

44
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 2>procedure for a vacancy on the panel. Fernandez Anderson has

45
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>agreed to plead guilty on federal corruption charges and says

46
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>she'll step down. A plea hearing is expected next week.

47
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>There has been a push to avoid a special election

48
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>in the city on concerns that it would be an

49
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>inconvenience and confusing to voters heading to the polls, which

50
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>would happen likely just weeks before the general election coming

51
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>up in November. Red Sox need the Heimlich maneuver. In Toronto,

52
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Socks get pansed after taking a big lead over the

53
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Blue Jays. They lose an extra innings and the Celtics

54
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>get to watch tonight as the New York Knicks battle

55
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the Pistons. A win by the Knicks will bring them

56
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>to the Garden for Game one Monday. A loss will

57
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>bring Game seven to that series. Parking becomes a bigger

58
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>problem on the South Boston waterfront. Unsustainable. That's how counselor

59
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Ed Flynn describes the parking situation in Southey.

60
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 6>South Boston. Residents consistently poured a large number of out

61
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 6>of state plates and cause lacking a residential parking permit.

62
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 6>With the neighborhood having become a destination for many young

63
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 6>people on the weekends.

64
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 7>He says, visitors often park for several days from Friday

65
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 7>morning through Monday evening, taking away precious space from locals.

66
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 7>That's why he wants to extend permit parking through the weekend.

67
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 6>There are no resident parking only restrictions to speak of.

68
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 7>Neighborhoods like the North End to currently have resident permit

69
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 7>parking seven nights a week in Southee. James Rojas w

<v Speaker 7>b Z Boston's news radio.

71
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>We're under partly cloudy skies. It is forty six degrees,

72
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 2>so a little bit chillier than it's been the past

73
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. And let's take a moment if we can,

74
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 2>to review the month of April. This is the first

75
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>of May, so April's now in the books. And despite

76
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>what you may have originally been led to believe or

77
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>even thought as we were experiencing it. It's going to

78
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>go down as one of the top twenty warmest aprils

79
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>on record here in Boston. I know, despite a lot

80
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>of rain and cool temperatures, especially earlier in the month,

81
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>we certainly made up for it towards the tail end. However,

82
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>kicking off may will be a little bit on the

83
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>cool front, especially if you're closer to the water. Today

84
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon, high temperatures will be in the low to

85
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>mid sixties. Inland locations will push seventy, and on the

86
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Capan Islands we're stuck in the fifties. Nonetheless, there's going

87
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to be a nice looking day, even by spring standards.

88
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>We're in good shape with a mix of sun and

89
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>clouds and continue a bit breezy overnight, more clouds than notts,

90
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>with a shower around later on and tomorrow, it looks

91
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>like it's going to be a mostly cloudy day, but

92
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>it's also going to be warm, and it will be

93
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>quite humid as well, with temperatures approaching eighty degrees and

94
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>we do have a chance of showers in the afternoon,

95
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like occasional showers, especially in the afternoon

96
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, So that's easing up a little bit on

97
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 2>prior forecasts. Right now in Boston forty six and partly

98
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 2>cloudy at six oh six on this Thursday morning here

99
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>in Boston, A different take on beer literally might make

100
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>us drink to our health.

101
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 8>It took several years, a number of different formulas, and

102
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 8>some not so great taste tests for entrepreneur Samara Austar

103
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 8>to create Melli, a Lowell based beer made entirely from keenwah.

104
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 9>We didn't know anything about recipes or formulation or process,

105
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 9>so we kind of were just starting from scratch basically

106
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 9>when we started this.

107
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 8>Samara says, they're the first to do this, teaming up

108
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 8>with two food scientists at MIT to make her vision

109
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 8>a reality. She says she was inspired by her travels

110
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 8>in South America when she tried a beer partially brewed

111
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 8>from keenwah.

112
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 9>It didn't even occur to me at the time that

113
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 9>keenwa comes from all these different countries and parts of

114
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 9>the world. There is red keenwa, there's black Keywah, there's

115
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 9>a white Kingwa. So we had to pinpoint what the

116
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 9>right ingredients actually were.

117
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 8>You can find Melly in local liquor stores, Trader Joe's

118
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 8>and pretty soon Whole Foods. Brook McCarthy WBS Boston's News Radio.
