00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZY, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Thirty two degrees. We've gone partly cloudy skies in Boston.

3
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 2>It has six o'clock and we have made it to

4
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Friday morning. It is December sixth, twenty twenty four. Thank

5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you so much for joining us. And this portion of

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the news is brought to you by your new England

7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thank you

8
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>so much for joining us. I'm Jim McKay. Here's what's happening.

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>We are waving goodbye to the snow and rain for now,

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>but all that Arctic air we've been feeling is not

11
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 2>heading anywhere as we get ready for the weekend.

12
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Old and blusteret today with more sun than cloud than

13
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>highs only in the mid thirties, but real feels never

14
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>higher than the team, and.

15
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>That is WBZ akiweather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Some relief in

16
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>store for the weekend in terms of losing that bite

17
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to the air. Will feel like freezing tomorrow with sunshine

18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>see astray rain or snowshower on Sunday morning. Otherwise we

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 2>are freezing once again. Well at six oh one, the

20
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>judge presiding over the Karen Reid case giving the green

21
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>light on a motion from prosecutors to obtain full audio

22
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>recordings that Karen Reid and her family conducted. Those interviews

23
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>included with Boston Magazine and another Boston television station. Judge

24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Beverly Canoni said in her decision that Reid and her

25
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>attorneys should have known that all statements in her interviews,

26
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 2>whether on the record or off, were potentially discoverable. Reid's

27
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>retrial and the death of John O'Keefe is still scheduled

28
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 2>for January, although the defense and prosecution have sought to

29
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>have that start date move back to April. For a

30
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks. Beginning today, the TEA has halted some

31
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>downtown trains in the name of a better tomorrow.

32
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Big Yellow bosses floods Boston. The Yankee Line shuttles are here. Actually,

33
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 3>it was pretty quick. We got there, like right around

34
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 3>when I was there this time. The Green Line trends

35
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 3>aren't running between Park Street and the two branches north

36
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 3>of Boston, but the shuttles are from North Stay to

37
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Medford Toffs. For the Union Square branch, buses will have

38
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 3>to cover that stretch on the way end.

39
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 4>It was very quick.

40
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 3>This is the last closure of the MBTA's track improvement program,

41
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>which aims to eliminate all speed restrictions before the new year.

42
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 4>It's nice to see that they're actually improving it.

43
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is now, the TEA says.

44
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 3>However, if there are potential slow zones in the future,

45
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 3>there'll be more short term and not stick around for

46
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 3>years like in the past. From North Station, Jay Willette WBZ,

47
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Boston's news radio.

48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Celtics hosting the Bucks tonight at the Garden.

49
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Three college football championship games tonight. It is conference championship weekend.

50
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>You've got the Bruins taken on the Flyers for some

51
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Saturday matinee hockey tomorrow, and the Lions, by the way,

52
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>beat the Packers at a close one on Thursday Night football,

53
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>thirty four to thirty one, last second field goal from Detroit.

54
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Right now, we've got thirty two degrees here, partly cloudy

55
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 2>skies in Boston coming up here in just a few moments.

56
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>A local astronauts stuck at the International Space Station still

57
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 2>can communicating with students from local elementary schools. Now we

58
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>take a look at the four day wb Z ACI

59
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 2>weather forecast. We are starting off with partly cloudy skies

60
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>here as we're just getting started, it is awfully cold

61
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>out the front door. Once again. The Arctic air is

62
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>sticking around with us this morning, and it's sticking around

63
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>with us all day today into the afternoon. Don't have

64
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>any winter precipitation to speak of. We've got real feels

65
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>in the teens this afternoon, with highs right around the

66
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 2>freezing mark. As we head into the afternoon hours for

67
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>your Friday and head off towards the weekend, we will

68
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>feel a little bit of that bite to the air subside.

69
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow we're going to be feeling more like freezing, a

70
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 2>little bit more tolerable. As today it's going to be

71
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>downright just oppressive out there with that wind whipping around.

72
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 2>And then by Sunday we could have a stray passing

73
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 2>rain or snowshower, but outside of that, just a winteresque

74
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>day highs into the upper thirties. It's actually almost going

75
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>to feel like a little bit of a relief as

76
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>we close out things for the weekend on Sunday. At

77
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the moment, we are looking at thirty two degrees here

78
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>in Boston, partly cloudy skies, but again those real feels

79
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>feeling a lot colder than that. It's six oh five

80
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>on WBZ News Radio. The abandoned Carla's Shoes building is

81
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>one of the lesser loan landmarks on Root one in Saugus,

82
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 2>but it remains haunted by an urban legend. Wbz's match

83
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>here separating fact from fiction.

84
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>For us, the sign out front says Prada, but it's

85
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>really an abandoned building. It's like it's warso of the

86
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>mannequin that was in the window for the past month

87
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>or two, it's Jason Rogers. He's one of the street

88
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>artists responsible. We were admiring it from Kyll Looons. After

89
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 1>we finished, we were like, yeah, that'll do. But that

90
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>got the rumor mill swirling again about the building's backstores.

91
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Sounded like a little bit of a dark history, except

92
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 1>not really. The comments are usually about Valerie Forenzo, who

93
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>is found dead in her police officer boyfriend's home back

94
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen ninety three. They claim that her parents owned

95
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>this building and are letting it decay on the side

96
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of Root one as payback. The problem is that's not true.

97
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Valerie owned a consignment store in Reading. This one in

98
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Saugus has been known since nineteen eighty five by an

99
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Isabelle Smith, who did not return my messages. So while

100
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>we continue to want to or why she won't sell it,

101
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>at least we can laugh at the protuest sign. Again,

102
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a little subpersive right now. She wro at WVZ,

107
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>at the International Space Station, but Needum native astronauts Sonny Williams,

108
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not letting that stop her conversations local elementary students

109
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>back here on planet Earth to Nada Williams Elementary School.

110
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 2>This is Michion Control, Houston.

111
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 5>It's been six months since Needum's own Sunny Williams and

112
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 5>fellow NASA test pilot, which Wilmore, rocketed into orbit for

113
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 5>the International Space Station, becoming stuck following issues with their

114
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 5>Boeing Starliner capsule. While in space, Sonny has spent time

115
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 5>doing science experiments, working out to keep her muscles from

116
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 5>becoming week and answering questions from students at her namesake,

117
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 5>the Sunita Williams Elementary School in Needham.

118
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 4>This is Naomi and what happens to astronauts when they

119
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 4>returned from space. That's a good question, and you'll probably

120
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 4>see it because I'll be probably come visit you. But

121
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 4>it will take probably a month or so before I

122
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 4>get to come up to Massachusetts and visit everybody. But

123
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 4>when we initially come back, it's pretty big jolt to

124
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 4>the system.

125
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 5>Sunny and Butcher are expected to come home with a

126
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 5>SpaceX crew in February, turning their eight day mission into

127
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.759
