Police are investigating an unexplained death in Boston this morning, Wednesday March 30.

Officers were called to an address on Horncastle Road, Boston at 3:07am by the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). The 74-year-old male householder was certified as deceased at the scene.

Police are in the process of informing the family and friends of the deceased of the situation. At this early stage the death is being treated as unexplained.

A post mortem will be carried out to establish the cause of death.

A 60-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident as police work to find out exactly what has happened.

Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to call police on the 101 non-emergency number quoting incident number 28 of 30th March.

This is the second unexplained death in 24 hours in Boston.

The unexplained death of a man in Boston is being investigated by police.

At 7pm yesterday, Tuesday March 29, police were called to a house on Union Street, Boston. A deceased man was found in the premises. He is believed to be an occupant, aged 42.

The death is being treated as unexplained and a post mortem will be carried out in due course in an effort to establish the cause of death.

Police are exploring the possibility that both this death and the death of the 22-year-old man found in woodland on Fenside Road, Boston on Saturday. March 26 are drugs related.

Whilst the investigations are ongoing officers say they will continue to take positive action in response to any information relating to drug abuse.

In the meantime police are warning users of illegal drugs to be aware of the dangers involved and recommend they seek medical advice as an alternative.

Police are not yet in a position to release the name of the dead man as no formal identification has been carried out.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the 101 non-emergency number.

In a thought to be unrelated incident A man was arrested after a man wad found dead in Boston this morning.

Following the cancellation of the March Medal, the season at Spalding got under way with the Buckingham Cup – a four-ball betterball played off 90 per cent handicap.

Calm conditions led to some very good scoring with two of the club’s juniors, Thomas Langford and Kavan Williamson, coming out on top with a superb 46 Stableford points.

It was a real joint effort – Williamson weighing in with two birdies and two pars, Langford with four pars.

Williamson (14) has been playing golf for five years while Spalding Grammar School student Langford (13) has been playing for four years, regularly attending Saturday morning coaching.

One point behind were Simon Rothwell and Mark Crozier, who pipped Steve Hodgson and Simon Eagle on countback, with Si Gray and Ted Portass fourth on 42 points, beating Mark Mitchell and Raich Growdidge on countback.

Holbeach Weight Training Club has a proud history when it comes to strength sports.

They have produced British and Commonwealth record holders, world powerlifting competitors and two-time World’s Strongest Man Geoff Capes who is still a current member.

So it was no surprise that the club’s first powerlifting competition in many years attracted eight competitors of the gym who all produced an exceptional display of strength in what turned out to be another record-breaking day in the club’s history.

The first discipline on the day was the squat lift with Kasia Kopciewicz, the first female competitor in the club’s history.

She went on to achieve an 85kg squat on her second lift, marginally failing her third lift of a 100kg on depth – still a strong performance by a woman weighing in at only 59kg in bodyweight.

The youngest competitor in the competition was Joe Fowler (15) who put another strong performance in with the squat, breaking the club’s previous under-17 age group record which had stood for 29 years – an impressive 117.5kg at 68kg bodyweight.

As the squat continued, a rivalry began between Daniel Taylor and Craig Candler, both competing for the heaviest squat lift of the day.

Taylor, weighing in at 90kg, began his squat with a cautious 190kg before his second lift of 210kg.

Candler, the heaviest competitor on the day at 120kg bodyweight, went slightly heavier on his first two lifts – achieving 200kg and 215kg.

For their third and final squats both men opted to attempt 227.5kg (a landmark in any strength sport of going over 500lb).

Three white lights from the judges for both men saw Taylor and Candler finish the competition with a successful 227.5kg squat lift.

The bench press produced more fantastic performances.

Candler again delivered the biggest lift with a bench press of 162.5kg before failing 170kg.

Other impressive efforts came from Tom Bell and Lindon Wise.

Wise, weighing in at 94kg, finished with 130kg while Bell, competing at 100kg in bodyweight, easily pressed his second lift of 140kg before failing his third lift at 150kg.

Other lifts saw Fowler press 80kg, just missing out on breaking the 29-year-old record.

His older brother Sam also produced impressive strength, pressing 92.5kg on his third lift.

The final chance for all competitors to get themselves in the top three was the deadlift.

Kopciewicz once again delivered a strong effort by pulling 105kg.

Joe Fowler pulled 155kg – breaking another under-17, 29-year-old record) as Wise managed 180kg and Bell got 200kg.

Sam Fowler pulled the third biggest deadlift of the day with an impressive 210kg as Taylor went one heavier at 230kg.

The heaviest lift of the day to no surprise went down to Candler who pulled 300kg on his second deadlift, just failing his third lift of 320kg which would have seen him go over the 700lb barrier.

To achieve a fair result, the competition was ranked on the Wilks formula which generates a score based on total weight lifted with the bodyweight of the individual.

Sam Fowler finished third with Taylor second and Candler first.

Young Enterprise students from Spalding High School have come away from the area final with the Best Company trophy.

However, the school’s MagBag company members were just as pleased with the awards they felt reflected other aspects of the business.

The South Lincolnshire Young Enterprise Area Final was held at Spalding High School and involved six Young Enterprise companies from schools and colleges in Spalding, Grantham and Boston.

The school won the coveted Best Company, but head of marketing Francesca Bolton said: “Winning Best Company was of course the highlight of the competition, but we were also thankful that we achieved the Environmental, Innovation and Best Presentation awards, as we truly felt these reflected our ethical values and our enduring hard work.”

Three judges from Chattertons, Moore & Thompson and Boston College spent the day looking at company reports and trade stands, interviewing the companies and watching their presentations.

Headmistress Michele Anderson said it was a “tremendous achievement” and added that Mr Garbett, who works with the group, should also be thanked for his support.

MagBag go on to the next round to be held in Lincoln.

A regular column from Flowers N Things in Spalding.

It’s great fun hunting down pretty vintage tea cups and plates.

These days, the trend is to set the tea table with an assortment of mis-matched but attractive pieces.

You could also try your hand at making your own cake stand from old plates. If you don’t feel confident to try it at home, Flowers N Things has workshops that could help. Go along and choose from the shop’s selection of vintage china and be guided through the drilling process to produce a unique piece.

Next workshop dates are April 14 and May 3. None of the workshops would be complete without a break for coffee and cake which is included in the class fee of £30.

You will need three pieces of mis-matched crockery of varying sizes, a drill with a drill bit for tiles, a work bench, masking tape and the fixings for a three-tier cake stand (available online). Mark the centre of each plate, cover the centre mark with a small scrap or two of masking tape to stop the drill bit slipping. Carefully drill a hole in the centre of each plate. Assemble the plates with the ‘uprights’.

SHOWCASE CINEMAS PETERBOROUGH, OUT NOW

CAST: BEN AFFLECK, HENRY CAVILL, GAL GADOT, JESSE EISENBERG, AMY ADAMS, JEREMY IRONS, DIANE LANE, LAURENCE FISHBURNE, HOLLY HUNTER, CALLAN MULVEY, TAO OKATOTO, SCOOT McNAIRY, MICHAEL CASSIDY, JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN, JOE MORTON, MICHAEL SHANNON, KEVIN COSTNER, RAY FISHER, EZRA MILLER & JASON MOMOA

RUNNING TIME: 2 HRS 31 MINS

DIRECTOR: ZACK SNYDER

This is probably the biggest blockbuster disappointment of all-time.

What could have potentially been a comic book-turned-movie masterpiece is an exhausting cacophony of muddled ideas shoehorned into one movie – with enough material for two.

Director Zack Snyder’s ‘scattergun’ approach of clunky fast-editing and choppy direction leaves you gasping for breath (and not in a good way) – as it drowns in a never-ending whirlpool of its seemingly good intentions.

It’s not a complete disaster – how could a film based around Batman battling Superman be? – with just about enough fleeting moments of promise going into a Justice League ensemble (and before that Wonder Woman) film, that any damage could just about be rectified due to the iconic combatants at hand.

The Krypton? Ben Affleck’s Frank Miller-inspired Dark Knight – along with some of his surprisingly violent bullet-fuelled fight scenes – and the generally noteworthy cameo of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman; a fantastically jaw-dropping US senate set piece; the fanboy ‘tease’ of future Justice League members; and bizarrely a frenetic last twenty minutes that kind of works due to there being just ‘one’ coherent scenerio left for Snyder to achieve.

And that nearly adds an extra mark . . . but it’s a little too late to be forgiven.

The Kryptonite? Cavill’s interesting first outing in Man of Steel (a much better film) being watered down (which isn’t entirely his fault) – also see Amy Adams’ Lois Lane – with mediocre dialogue; the same for the woefully underused Jeremy Iron as Alfred and Laurence Fishburne as Perry White; the complete lack of comic relief (bar one line from Diane Lane’s Martha Kent); a ho-hum special effects-laden ultra villain in Doomsday (see Abomination in The Incredible Hulk); AND Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor simply doesn’t work – being more irritating than maniacal.

The general plot? After the trillions of dollars worth of damage caused by Superman’s battle with General Zod in Metropolis during the climax of his standalone 2013 movie, a growing number of people are now seeing the Man of Steel as a threat to humanity.

Despite being a beacon of hope to parts of society, Bruce Wayne and his Caped Crusader alter-ego see him as a reckless power that mustn’t be left ungoverned – and wants to seek justice for the chaos he has brought to Earth.

But while the two superhero powers get embroiled in a bitter feud, a terrifying new threat arises from Eisenberg’s Luthor – after getting his hands on Zod’s DNA – providing a foe (i.e. Doomsday) that is more powerful than both of them.

Throw in a side story with Callan Mulvey’s Russian bad guy and multiple convoluted scenarios – and bizarre dream sequences – then you’ve got a movie that goes on for nearly as long as the mind-numbing 2009 Transformers flick, Revenge of the Fallen.

Fortunately you can only be mad at the Batman, Supes’ and co for so long, and undeniably there’s enough glimmers of hope that this DC Comics product can maybe eventually reach the heights of the more-polished and finely-tuned Marvel franchise.

After this they’re definitely playing catch up . . .

SOUTH HOLLAND CENTRE SPALDING, FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Oscar-winning Leonardo DiCaprio stars as legendary explorer Hugh Glass – headlining an expedition of the unchartered American frontier wilderness in the 1820s – who sets out on a path of vengeance against his hunting team after they left him for dead following a bear mauling.

In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief – as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Oscar-nominee Tom Hardy) – and navigates a vicious winter to ultimately find redemption, in this adventure-thriller from DiCaprio’s fellow Academy Award winner, director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

SOUTH HOLLAND CENTRE SPALDING, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY

This Oscar-nominated biographical drama documents four outsiders from the world of high-finance who predicted the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000s – and decided to take on the big banks for their lack of foresight and greed.

Christian Bale – who also received an Academy Award nom for this – Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell and Brad Pitt headline an all-star cast.

SOUTH HOLLAND CENTRE SPALDING, MONDAY AT 7.30PM

Oscar-nominees Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams star in this 2016 Academy Award winner for Best Picture, which chronicles the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic church – which shook the city’s entire establishment to the core.

Michael Keaton and Liev Schreiber co-star.

SHOWCASE CINEMAS PETERBOROUGH, OUT NOW

The early reviews are glowing for this biographical drama based on the legendary story of tenaciously loveable British underdog ski jumper Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards (Kingsman’s Taron Egerton).

With the help of his charismatic coach (Hugh Jackman), Eddie took on the establishment with a ‘never say die’ attitude that won the hearts of sports fans throughout the world.

SHOWCASE CINEMAS PETERBOROUGH, OUT NOW

Disney’s own studios will soon surpass the genius of their multi-million pound Pixar acquisition with the sensational quality of the products they are currently churning out.

That’s because Zootropolis joins a burgeoning list of recent Disney Animation Studios successes such as Frozen, Wreck-it Ralph and Big Hero 6 – and is far superior to Pixar’s last effort The Good Dinosaur.

This colourful and zany animal-based animated effort came in a little under-the-radar, but with two fantastic leads, an engaging story and some stand-out comedy ‘gold’ moments, this is truly amiable fare for all the family.

From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootropolis is a mammal metropolis populated by all forms of animals with human-like behaviour to live and thrive.

One such mammal is ambitious rabbit Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) – wanting to escape the monotony of the country life and inevitable family carrot business – who is aiming to become the first bunny to join the police force, much to the chagrin of her lovable and overly-protective parents Stu (Don Lake) and Bonnie (Bonnie Hunt).

But after she makes it to the big city she immediately gets relegated to traffic duty by pessimistic police Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), but determined to prove herself inadvertently gets the opportunity to solve a mysterious case, and enlists the help of fast-talking con-artist fox Nick Wilde – who had ‘hustled’ her the previous day – by threatening to sue him for tax evasion.

Add in some great secondary characters – see Nate Torrence’s fantastic cop receptionist Clawhauser – a plotline that has more twists and turns than your average animation, and a terrifically hilarious ‘sloth’ scene, and you’ve got potentially the best animation of the year.

It does run out of a bit of steam – particularly in terms of humour – in the third act, but with Goodwin and Bateman on tremendous form as the really likeable main protagonists, it is always entertaining throughout.

The House of Mouse has just crafted another classy animation with plenty of bite. Rating: 4/5 Gavin Miller

What a let down! So far – snippets of poetry, bits of philosophy – and this week? A rehash of the obits for the Beatles ex-manager! Too many Johns in this house! You see, I don’t care what John Keats, John Donne or even John Lennon thought.

What we should be reading is what John Hayes does ‘in the house’. Like Serena Watts (Free Press, March 15) I’d really like to know the rationale behind his voting decisions. Why vote in favour of the so-called ‘bedroom tax’, after claiming £23,000 expenses for accommodation?

And if, as he claims, care of people with disabilities is one of his main political interests, why has he voted consistently for cuts that make a misery of disabled people’s lives?

His views on the practice of ‘filibustering’ might be of interest, as would his impression of grown adults braying like Skegness donkeys over a stupid joke, instead of allowing proper debate on a serious topic.

Serena had a few more questions, as do many local voters. If the column is not going to give us answers, perhaps the column inches could be used for something of use. The Tories love to hark back to the ‘Spirit of the Blitz’, so perhaps ‘Make do & Mend – crafty ideas for adding real pizzaz to those charity shop buys, or ‘Live well for less – tips for foodbank users’, or maybe even ‘ Dig for poverty – gardening tips for the modern age’.

No? Oh well, perhaps John could next pen a few lines about Mozart or Beethoven...

Myths and misinformation abound in this debate on EU membership. The Labour Party claim workers’ rights are enhanced, but thanks to a mass influx of East Europeans, wages have stagnated and job insecurity increased.

The 3-4 million British jobs that are claimed to depend on EU membership are matched (using the same criteria, and allowing for the £60 billion annual deficit) by the 5-6 million European jobs that rely on trade with us. In fact, with the destruction of our industries in fishing, ship building, steel making, textiles, etc, it’s easy to argue 1 million jobs have been lost in this country thanks to EU membership. The EU single market is a rather nasty customs union designed to protect certain interests and works to the detriment of many third world countries. A large dent in the economic migration from African countries could be made if fair trade or, even better, free trade policies were adopted and this unpleasant cartel abolished altogether.

Mass immigration has brought economic benefits to this country is another assertion worth looking at. If it is the case, where has the money gone? The National Debt has doubled in the last 6 years along with the explosion in those coming here from abroad.If its all been such a rip-roaring economic success, why did the last budget contain cuts to the neediest and why is it such a struggle to fund the NHS, education, police and all the public services? In truth, these low-wage jobs, subsidised by the benefit system, are a drain on the economy and add to a debt our children and grandchildren will be responsible for.

Our negotiator in chief, David Cameron, has just agreed to add £500 million to this debt as part of the £5billion EU bribe to Turkey. For this fee and the promise of speedy accession to the EU, Turkey has agreed to become the world’s largest clearing house for migrants. The Prime Minister refuses to admit that this country may soon have to open its borders to 77 million Turks, and I suppose this may be true if we keep giving the Turkish Government (dubious human rights record and crusher of the Kurds) enough money.

Unfortunately we must look at his track record on assurances such as this.

Your “Green” contributor last week stated that the EU is in serious need of reform. The biggest myth of the lot is to think that this is possible. Time is running out for this bankrupt, undemocratic EU institution, and for the safe option, be in no doubt, vote “OUT”.
