After the Swearing In Ceremony, Patricia Moriarty, mother of Brian Moriarty made it official by pinning her son’s chief insignia in his lapel. Attending the ceremony were Senator Barbara L'Italien, Lawrence Council President Modesto Maldonado, District B Councilor Estela Reyes; District C Councilor Kendrys Vasquez; District E Councilor Eileen O’Connor-Bernal and District F Councilor Marc Laplante. Moments before the swearing in ceremony we captured this smiling trio: From left, Kim Downer, Brian Moriarty, and Lawrence Mayor Daniel Rivera.
E
s indiscutible de que en Lawrence somos una comunidad de inmigrantes, con una riqueza cultural extraordinaria, pero necesitamos a alguien que nos lo recuerde y nos guie. Afortunados los Lawrencianos que tenemos en el patio a más de uno, pero especialmente al Padre Joel Almonó, que cuando se le pregunta que deletree la palabra No, él muy sonriente dice: S I. Para Almonó no hay obstáculos. Él y su equipo se han echado a cuestas los Festivales de Teatro que para suerte nuestra, en este su quinto año nos han traído una gloria del teatro dominicano, conocida internacionalmente. Nos referimos a Delta Soto, a la cual le fue dedicado el festival. Juan Carlos Mañón, que forma parte del comité organizador como coordinador general y además dirige el grupo Teatro Renovación, compareció en el programa CrossOver que sale al aire por la WCCM1110-AM y dijo estar muy complacido con la asistencia del público durante las pasadas tres semanas. Nosotros por nuestra parte creemos que pudo haber sido mayor. Esperamos que este próximo domingo 29 la obra Barrabas sea un lleno total. La titánica labor del Padre Joel Almonó y su equipo, que nos están trayendo lo mejor del teatro, así lo merecen.
Honor to whom honor is due

t is indisputable that we are a community of immigrants, with an extraordinary cultural richness in Lawrence, but we need someone to remind us and guide us. Lucky for us Lawrencians we have in our backyard more than one, but especially Father Joel Almonó that when asked to spell the word No, he says smiling: Y E S. To Almonó there are no obstacles. He and his team have taken upon the Theatre Festival which luckily for us, in this its fifth year have brought us a glory of the Dominican theater, internationally known. We refer to Delta Soto, to whom the festival was dedicated. Juan Carlos Mañón, a member of the organizing committee as general coordinator and also directs the Teatro Renovación group, appeared in CrossOver program that airs on the WCCM1110-AM and said he was very pleased with the attendance during the past three weeks. For our part, we believe it should have been greater. We hope that this Sunday the 29th the play Barrabas will be a sellout. The titanic work of Father Joel Almonó and his team, bringing to us the best of theater, deserve so.
“About the only thing that comes to us with no effort is old age.” “Lo único que nos llega sin ningún esfuerzo es la vejez.”

Young People: Lawrence’s new Movers and Shakers By Marko Duffy
I have recently met some amazing young people from Lawrence. Several times in fact. There are some things going on in the city for and by some young adults and kids that will make this city a better place to live and work for years to come. I started representing the Lawrence YMCA as part of the Jericho Road program. Jericho Road is a cultural inclusion program designed to help match Latino professionals to non-profit boards in the city. Attending these meetings and training sessions has been valuable experience for me and has introduced me to a group of young professionals who live, work or otherwise have roots in the city and their commitment is a personal one. I was impressed with the idea and the mission and then I met the candidates. They blew me away. I met a group of young professionals that have not only succeeded personally and professionally but they have excelled. All of the recruits are amazing individuals who are seeking a way to give back to the city they're so attached to. They are hoping to be matched with a board that allows them to give their time and their talents toward bettering the
community. That they understand that being on the board of a non-profit means giving thoughtfully and generously and the financial commitment does not sway them. They are ready and able to give. Dedication and a willingness to help like this is hard to find but thrives here at Jericho Road in Lawrence. Participating in Jericho Road I was introduced to the Greater Lawrence Young Professionals Network and several of their members and directors. These 20-somethings have started their own organization to attract and engage young professionals in the community and provide a support network for them. An organization through which they can grow and share and ultimately improve the overall quality of life in the community. These dynamic individuals wanted to make a difference and when the platform didn't exist they went out and invented it. Impressive at any career stage but for young people just starting out, it shows incredible vision and dedication to the city. Then through a YMCA program I was introduced to alumni of the Adelante program now operating at the Lawrence YMCA. Adelante is an educational program run by the YMCA to provide a safe and productive environment for 7th and 8th graders to move forward personally and academically. The prep program potentially can lead to 4 year scholarships at a private school in the area. If they work hard, stick with it and develop as students and people. Now in regards to the alumni, here is a group of young people who decided 15 years

ago that they wanted to empower themselves through knowledge and education and were seeking better opportunities. To say they succeeded is an understatement. The Adelante alumni I met are truly powerful people who grasped an opportunity living in Lawrence provided and maximized it. They have gone on to become lawyers, vice presidents, successful business men and women and entrepreneurs. They represent what is possible when hard work is done and they are committed to reaching out and helping current and future generations of Adelante scholars. There will be more incredible and talented Lawrence youth going to great schools all over New England because of the work they did a few years ago and are willing to do now. And then I met the youngest group and the cream of the crop. Some of the most impressive young people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I met this year's group of 8th graders in the Adelante program. I read their essays. I listened as they were interviewed and discussed their hopes and ambitions. Most of all I heard that they had spent 2 years working hard in the Adelante program. It has to be hard as a 7th grader to choose to join a 2 year program that is dedicated to giving you more school work, asks you to tutor and collaborate with peers, commit to community service and develop as a unique individual maximizing your potential. I'm not sure I could have said yes to that at 30 never mind 13. So these scholars we interviewed and
got to know and I came away with a deep respect for this group, the youngest of the young men and women I have met recently. It's hard to choose among this group who may or may not get scholarship money just like it's hard to choose which of the above groups I described is the most impressive. The good news is we don't have to pick a winner among these different and diverse groups. The winner has already been chosen and it's the community and the city of Lawrence. One common thread that runs through all of these groups is the thankfulness they grew up where they did, their dedication to giving back to a city they feel they got much from and the desire to stay here, help here and promote here. They are glad to have the roots that they share and are proud to tell people where they are from and where they want to be. There is a wave coming Lawrence. A wave of young people coming back or staying or looking to build businesses and networks. The old adage goes, "How do you know when someone from Lawrence has made it? They move away." That's exactly what it is, an "old adage". One that no longer fully applies and time has moved past. There is a generation, or 2 or 3, here in the city that says it will be different. They worked hard to get where they are... Here. Marko Duffy CEF is President of Marathon Manufacturing Services.

Los Jóvenes: Los que Mueven los Hilos de Lawrence Por Marko Duffy
He conocido recientemente algunos jóvenes increíbles de Lawrence. Varias veces, de hecho. Hay algunas cosas que suceden en la ciudad por y para algunos adultos jóvenes y niños que harán de esta ciudad un mejor lugar para vivir y trabajar en los próximos años. Empecé en representación de la YMCA de Lawrence como parte del programa Jericho Road. Este es un programa de inclusión cultural diseñado para ayudar a emparejar a profesionales latinos con las juntas directivas de organizaciones sin fines de lucro de la ciudad. Asistir a estas reuniones y sesiones de capacitación ha sido una valiosa experiencia para mí y me ha presentado a un grupo de jóvenes profesionales que viven, trabajan o tienen sus raíces en la ciudad y su compromiso es personal. Me quedé impresionado con la idea y la misión y luego conocí a los candidatos. Me impresionaron mucho. Me encontré con un grupo de jóvenes profesionales que no sólo han tenido éxito personal y profesional pero han sobresalido. Todos los reclutas son personas increíbles que están buscando una manera de devolver a la ciudad a la que están tan apegados. Ellos tienen la esperanza de ser emparejados con una junta directiva que les permita ofrecer su tiempo y su talento hacia el mejoramiento de la comunidad. Ellos comprenden que el estar en la junta directiva de una organización sin fines de lucro significa donar juiciosamente y con generosidad y el compromiso financiero no influye en ellos. Ellos están listos y son capaces de dar. Dedicación y la voluntad de ayudar de esta forma es difícil de encontrar pero está latente aquí en Jericho Road en Lawrence. Fue aquí, participando en Jericho Road que me presentaron a la Red de Jóvenes Profesionales de Lawrence y varios de sus miembros y directores. Estos jóvenes de 20 y tantos años han comenzado su propia organización para atraer y comprometer a los profesionales jóvenes de la comunidad y proporcionar una red de apoyo para ellos. Un organismo donde puedan crecer y compartir y en última instancia mejorar la calidad de vida en la comunidad. Estos individuos dinámicos querían hacer una diferencia y cuando no existía la plataforma salieron y la inventaron. Impresionante en cualquier etapa de su carrera, pero para la gente joven que acaba de empezar, denota una visión y dedicación a la ciudad increíble. Luego a través de un programa de la YMCA me presentaron a ex alumnos del programa Adelante que ahora opera en la YMCA de Lawrence. Adelante es un programa educativo dirigido por la YMCA para proveer un ambiente seguro y productivo para estudiantes de séptimo y octavo grado para avanzar personal y académicamente. El programa de preparación puede conducir potencialmente a becas de cuatro años en una escuela privada en la zona. Si trabajan duro, no
se dan por vencidos y se desarrollan como estudiantes y personas. Ahora bien, en lo que respecta a los alumnos, este es un grupo de jóvenes que decidieron hace 15 años que querían hacerse valer a través del conocimiento y la educación y buscaban mejores oportunidades. Decir que lo lograron es un eufemismo. Los ex alumnos de Adelante que conocí son gente verdaderamente poderosa que agarró una oportunidad que vivir en Lawrence les proveyó y le sacaron el máximo. Ellos han llegado a convertirse en abogados, vicepresidentes, hombres y mujeres de negocios exitosos y empresarios. Ellos representan lo que es posible cuando se trabaja duro y se han comprometido a ayudar a las generaciones actuales y futuras de los estudiosos de Adelante. Habrá más increíble y talentosa juventud de Lawrence yendo a las escuelas de toda Nueva Inglaterra gracias al trabajo que hicieron hace unos años y están dispuestos a hacer ahora. Y entonces conocí al grupo más joven que es la crema del grupo. Estos son algunos de los más impresionantes jóvenes que he tenido el privilegio de conocer. Conocí el grupo de estudiantes de 8vo grado de este año en el programa Adelante. Leí sus ensayos. Escuché a medida que fueron entrevistados y discutí sus esperanzas y ambiciones. Por encima de todo me enteré de que habían pasado dos años trabajando muy duro en el programa Adelante. Tiene que ser duro para un estudiante de séptimo grado elegir unirse a un programa de dos años que se dedica a darle más trabajo en la escuela, les requiere dar clases y colaborar con sus compañeros, comprometerse con el servicio comunitario y desarrollarse como un individuo único llevando su potencial al máximo. No estoy seguro que yo podría haber dicho que sí a los 30 mucho menos a los 13 años de edad. Así que estos eruditos que entrevistamos y llegamos a conocer hicieron que me fuera con un profundo respeto por este grupo, el más joven de
los hombres y mujeres jóvenes que he conocido recientemente. Es difícil elegir entre este grupo quienes pueden o no pueden obtener dinero de becas al igual que es difícil elegir cuál de los grupos que he descrito anteriormente es el más impresionante. La buena noticia es que no tenemos que escoger a un ganador entre estos grupos diferentes y diversos. El ganador ha sido elegido y es la comunidad y la Ciudad de Lawrence. Un hilo común que corre a través de todos estos grupos es el agradecimiento por haber crecido cuando lo hicieron, su dedicación a contribuir a una ciudad que sienten que les dio mucho y el deseo de permanecer aquí, ayudar aquí y progresar aquí. Ellos están contentos de tener las
raíces que comparten y están orgullosos de decir a la gente de dónde son y dónde quieren estar. Lawrence, hay una ola que viene. Una ola de jóvenes regresando para quedarse o en busca de crear negocios y redes. El viejo refrán "¿Cómo sabes cuando alguien de Lawrence ha logrado el éxito? Se mudan." Eso es exactamente lo que es, un "viejo adagio". Uno que ya no se aplica plenamente y el tiempo ha dejado atrás. Hay una generación, o dos o tres, aquí en la ciudad que dice que va a ser diferente. Ellos trabajaron duro para llegar a donde están... Aquí. Marko Duffy es CEF y Presidente de Marathon Manufacturing Services LLC.

De la página Web Rollins School. Cynde McInnis trajo una sorpresa extra grande y muy especial a los estudiantes de la Escuela Rollins en Lawrence. Ella llegó con Nile, su ballena inflable de 43 pies de largo que fue diseñada después de una ballena humpback (jorobada) nacida en 1987, y que a menudo pasaba los veranos en la costa de Massachusetts. Al traer a Nile a las aulas de todo el país, ella espera enseñar a los estudiantes acerca de las ballenas, los océanos, e inspirar a la próxima generación de defensores de los océanos.
Nile the Wale visited Rollins School From Rollins School Web page. Cynde McInnis brought a special, extra large delivery to students at the Rollins School in Lawrence. She arrived with Nile, her 43 ft., life –sized inflatable whale that was designed after a female humpback whale born in 1987, who often summers off the coast of Massachusetts. By bringing Nike to classrooms around the country, she hopes to teach students about whales, the oceans, and to inspire our next generation of oceans advocates. Cynde McInnis grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Oddly enough, although surrounded by farms, she fell in love with whales at the age of eight. In 1994, she graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in Psychology, focusing on learning and development. In August 1994, she interned with Ocean Alliance and Cape Ann Whale Watch of Gloucester, MA. Told she would eat, sleep and think whales, she said, “What could be better?” This three-month internship turned into a career, and for the past 19 years, she has developed and led Cape Ann Whale Watch’s Field Research and Marine Education Internship, training over 75 interns and numerous volunteers in data collection techniques and presentation of educational programs aboard whale watch boats. She has led almost 2000 whale watch trips and taught tens of thousands of people
about whales and the threats they face in our ocean today. Currently, she is embarking on a new business called The Whalemobile. She visits schools, libraries, and summer programs with Nile, her 43 ft., lifesized inflatable whale based on a female humpback whale born in 1987 who often summers off the coast of Massachusetts. Cynde hopes to bring Nile to classrooms around the country to teach students about whales and the oceans, and inspire our next generation of ocean advocates. Nile: the Life-Sized Humpback Whale Students have the opportunity to go inside the whale! Adapted to students’ grade levels, this presentation focuses on similarity between humans and whales, their adaptations to the marine environment, and current threats they face today.

Local students honored by Rep. Tsongas On Tuesday, March 10, Congresswoman Niki Tsongas held a reception to honor the 15 young men and women from the Third Congressional District who have been selected as nominees for appointment to the U.S. Military, Naval, Air Force, and Merchant Marine Academies. Each student was nominated following an evaluation of their academic records, extracurricular activities, and in-person interviews with Congresswoman Tsongas' independent Academies Nomination Committee. Prospective students must meet strict academic qualifications. Once the Congresswoman’s nominations are forwarded to the Service Academies, each student’s eligibility is evaluated based on their academic and extra-curricular record, leadership skills, physical stamina and other requirements. Appointments for entrance are offered by the Academies as the students are evaluated. “Each year I have the privilege of nominating a select group of young men and women from the Third Congressional District to our nation's service academies," said Congresswoman Tsongas. "These nominees stood out because of their exemplary academic records, as well as their outstanding achievements in athletics and extracurricular activities. They have each exhibited a strong desire to serve their communities and their country, which make them excellent representatives of the Third District and its proud military tradition. This reception offers the opportunity to commend these remarkable young men and women for their hard work.” Congresswoman Niki Tsongas and Richard Colby Gilbert of Andover

State Representative Frank A. Moran (D-Lawrence) read to a group of 1st graders from the Lawrence Family Development Charter School. This event marks the 18th year of the Read Across America program, a wildly successful initiative that provides resources to encourage reading year round. I was delighted to read to 1st graders at the Foley Library in Lawrence in celebration of Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss’s birthday,” said Representative Moran. “I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Cat in the Hat to the children and I hope they enjoyed hearing it. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to create a memory this afternoon with my youngest constituents. To echo the sentiment of Dr. Seuss it has been said that “You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.” Rep. Frank Moran celebra Read Across America Day El Representante Estatal Frank A. Moran (D-Lawrence) leyó a un grupo de alumnos de primer grado de Lawrence Family Development Charter School. Este evento marca el 18vo año del programa Read Across America, una iniciativa muy exitosa que ofrece recursos para fomentar la lectura durante todo el año. Me encantó leer al 1er grado en la Biblioteca Foley en Lawrence en la celebración del Día de la Lectura a Través
de América y el cumpleaños de Dr. Seuss", dijo el Representante Moran. "Disfruté mucho la lectura de El Gato en el Sombrero (The Cat in the Hat) a los niños y espero que hayan disfrutaron escuchándolo. Estoy agradecido de haber tenido la oportunidad de crear un recuerdo de esta tarde con mis electores más jóvenes. Para hacer eco del sentimiento de Dr. Seuss, se ha dicho que "Nunca se es demasiado viejo, demasiado loco, demasiado chiflado, para coger un libro y leer a un niño." Diana was able to stop in Methuen (at Timony Grammar) and North Andover (at Kittredge) for Read Across America.

Hola, queridos lectores de Rumbo. He decidido ignorar el último hurra del domingo (tres pulgadas más de nieve) y decir que en el momento de leer esto, en realidad será primavera. ¡Que Dios le bendiga a cada uno! Por cierto, sé que la nieve no ha terminado, y a lo mejor, no veré las temperaturas de primavera hasta mayo, pero, por lo menos, el invierno de 2015 ha terminado y eso es lo suficientemente bueno para mí. Nuestros amigos los Hibernians están actuando como Perséfone en nuestra ciudad que nos conducirán a la primavera una vez más. Sus acontecimientos de marzo por lo general comienzan en la biblioteca con el vicecónsul de Irlanda de Boston leyendo a nuestros niños en la sucursal del sur, y terminan con la celebración celta de George y Terri Kelley en nuestro auditorio Sargent. Este último evento será el domingo, 29 de marzo, a las 2:00 PM. Por cierto, es el día después del desfile recién programado - el día 28. Espero que todos participen en ambos eventos, ¡próximamente estamos en abril! Hablando del desfile, felicitaciones a la comisión que invitó al Gobernador Charlie Baker a participar. (Esto no debería ser un gran desafío para él. Él es un caballero alto y a lo mejor, ¡puede cubrir la ruta del desfile en unos diez pasos!) El gobernador también asistió al almuerzo anual de los Hibernians el Día de San Patricio (junto al Alcalde Rivera, la delegación legislativa de Lawrence, y la mayoría de los miembros del consejo de la ciudad). Fue, como siempre, un momento de diversión, pero fue muy especial este año debido a la presencia del gobernador y nuestro ex coordinador de veteranos, Francisco
Ureña. Como la mayoría de ustedes saben, Francisco es el Secretario de Asuntos de Veteranos para el estado de Massachusetts. Él estuvo presente para recibir el premio de Ciudadanía de John Fenton. Muchos dieron sus testimonios a nuestro amigo, y todas las palabras bellas fueron bien merecidas. ¡Verdaderamente todos estamos orgullosos de este hombre! Louise Sandberg será la anfitriona de nuestra penúltima reunión del club de lectura para esta temporada el 23 de marzo a las 6:00 PM en nuestra sala de historia local en el 3er piso de la biblioteca principal. El título que se discutirá este mes es ALL OUR NAMES por el novelista etíope Dinaw Mengetsu. La novela es a la vez una reflexión sobre la comprensión intercultural y la comprensión de uno mismo, así como un cuento de amor. Como de costumbre, Louise y el club han optado por un título tanto literariamente como intelectualmente profundo. Pasen por el segundo piso de la biblioteca y echen un vistazo alrededor. Con nuestro nuevo Director Asistente Kemal, estamos haciendo algunos cambios que creo que usted encontrará útiles. Entre ellos se encuentran un centro de búsqueda de trabajo y un rincón de recursos de idiomas. Estos serán adyacentes al rincón de ciudadanía que hemos establecido con la ayuda del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Información de los Estados Unidos. Después de haber sido recompensada con una victoria en el Súper Bowl este año, me comprometo a no ser codiciosa ni criticar a los Medias Rojas. Por lo menos, ¡es lo que prometo por ahora! Nos vemos en la biblioteca.
NOTES FROM YOUR LIBRARIAN Hello Rumbo readers. I have decided to ignore Sunday’s last hurrah (three more inches) and say that by the time you read this it will actually be spring. God bless us every one! I feel dismally certain that the snow is not over and that we probably won’t see real spring temperatures till probably May but still the winter of 2015 is over and that is good enough for me. Our Friends the Hibernians are acting as our city’s own Persephone leading us into the spring once again. Their March events usually begin in the library with the Irish vice-consul for Boston reading for our kids in the South Branch, and end with George and Terri Kelley’s Celtic Celebration in our Sargent auditorium. The latter event will be on Sunday the 29th of March at 2:00. That, by the way, is the day after the newly scheduled parade date on the 28th. I hope everyone will participate in both events and the next thing we know it will be April! Speaking of the parade, kudos to the committee running it for getting Governor Charlie Baker to march. (This should not be much of a challenge for him. He is one tall gentleman and he can probably cover the parade route is about ten steps!) The Governor also attended the Hibernians annual Saint Patrick’s Day luncheon (along with Mayor Rivera, the Lawrence Legislative delegation and most of the City Council). It was, as always, a fun time but made extra special this year by the presence of the governor and by our own
former Veteran’s Coordinator Francisco Urena. As most of you know, Francisco is now the Secretary for Veteran’s Affairs for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He was present to accept the John Fenton Citizenship Award. Testimonials to our friend were coming from left and right and not a word was of them was unearned. Truly a man every one of us can be proud of! Louise Sandberg will be hosting our next-to-last book club meeting for this season on March 23rd at 6:00 in our Local History Room on the 3rd floor at the Main Library. The title to be discussed this month is All Our Names by Ethiopian novelist Dinaw Mengetsu. The novel is both a reflection on intercultural understanding and self-understanding as well as a love story of sorts. As usual, Louise and the club have chosen a title both literarily and intellectually profound. Come by the library second floor and take a look around. With our new Assistant Director Kemal we are making some changes that I think you will find helpful. Among them are a job search center and a language resource area. These will be adjacent to the Citizenship Corner we have established with the help of the United States Citizenship and Information Service. Having been rewarded by a Super Bowl victory this year I promise to not be greedy, and to keep it light on the Red Sox. At least I promise for now! See you at the library.

MCC to Host Lowell Campus Open House Middlesex Community College will host an Open House on the Lowell campus at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 28, in the Lowell Campus Cafeteria, 33 Kearney Square. Prospective students and their families, as well as adult learners interested in continuing their education, will have the opportunity to learn about MCC’s more than 70 degree and certificate programs, noncredit courses, and online and flexiblelearning options. Many of MCC’s academic programs allow students to earn an associate degree and then transfer to a four-year college or university through the statewide MassTransfer program articulation agreements with private colleges. Transfer agreements are designed to ease the transfer process, allowing a student to specifically plan a curriculum that will fit a chosen bachelor's degree program. The Lowell Campus Open House will feature a series of breakout sessions tailored to meet student needs and interests. Students can explore specific areas of
academic interest, meet with faculty and academic deans, learn more about the admissions process, and take a campus tour. “This open-house format gives students an opportunity to learn about everything Middlesex has to offer,” said Marilynn Gallagan, MCC’s Dean of Admissions. Advisors and administrators will be on hand to answer student questions and provide information about how to be successful at Middlesex. Students can learn about MCC’s many support services such as academic and career counseling, dual enrollment, tutoring, disability support, and other special programs. Attendees can also meet with financial aid representatives to get information about financing their education. Students can even turn in college applications and schedule appointments for placement testing. For more information or to RSVP for MCC’s Lowell Campus Open House, visit www.middlesex.mass.edu/OH or call 1-800-818-3434.
Ricketts Selected as 2015 Children’s Champion Award Ceremony Highlights Child Abuse Prevention Month En una ceremonia celebrada el 2 de abril, una respetada y veterana defensora de los niños de Lawrence fue galardonada con el premio Campeón de niños 2015. Connie A. Ricketts, que ha dedicado su vida adulta a la defensa de niños, fue elegida para el honor por una coalición de organizaciones sin fines de lucro del Valle del Merrimack dedicadas a la prevención del maltrato infantil. “Connie Ricketts es una defensora apasionada y decidida de niños maltratados y abandonados y no descansará hasta que todos los jóvenes que representa vivan en ambientes seguros y protectores. Ha demostrado una voluntad inagotable de luchar a favor de los niños y por eso se merece este premio de Campeona" , dijo Ellen Weinhold, presidenta del Consejo Asesor del Centro de Apoyo Familiar y de la Comunidad Michael B. Christensen, y una de los organizadores del evento. Ricketts recibirá el honor, presentado por la persona que recibió el premio el año pasado, el Juez Mark Newman del Tribunal Juvenil del Condado de Essex, en una ceremonia que se celebrará el jueves 2 de abril, de 8 a 10 a.m. en la YMCA de Methuen, en 129 Haverhill Street. Se pide a quienes deseen asistir que lo confirmen antes del 27 de marzo llamando a Ellen Weinhold al 978-682-4951, ext. 24. Ricketts es directora del Programa de defensores especiales asignados por un tribunal, de la organización sin fines de lucro Family Services of the Merrimack Valley, con sede en Lawrence. Supervisa a defensores judiciales que representan los intereses de niños maltratados y abandonados en el tribunal juvenil. Además, ha sido por mucho tiempo defensora voluntaria. A Ricketts, que es madre de tres hijos adoptados, se le adjudican muchos éxitos como paladín de los intereses de los niños. Los siguientes ejemplos ilustran el
impacto de su trabajo: - La adopción de muchos niños de crianza por hogares de Massachusetts seguros, llenos de amor y permanentes. La defensa tenaz de un niño de 15 años de edad abandonado, que recibió muchos servicios de apoyo y terminó inscribiéndose en el Berklee College of Music. La colocación de una niña de siete años de edad con su tía, consiguiéndole un hogar permanente y terminando una sucesión de cinco hogares de crianza en un solo año. Al nominar a Ricketts para el premio, Elizabeth Sweeney, Directora Ejecutiva de Servicios para Familias del Valle del Merrimack, escribió: “Lo que los logros de Connie no reflejan en el papel, es la pasión con que realiza su trabajo. La oímos en el teléfono todo el día expresando indignación y determinación en la defensa de los niños. Es increíble que con tantos años de experiencia personal y profesional, la pasión que la anima a defender a los pequeños siga con la mismo intensidad.” El premio anual “Defensor de los niños” es un esfuerzo en equipo del Greater Lawrence Community Action Council, Inc., las organizaciones Exchange Clubs y YMCA del Valle del Merrimack, y el restaurante y pub Irish Cottage. Los Exchange Clubs del Valle del Merrimack prestan un gran apoyo al Centro de Apoyo Familiar y a la Comunidad Michael B. Christensen de GLCAC. El Centro Christensen mantiene muchos programas comunitarios destinados a prevenir el maltrato infantil. Sus servicios incluyen capacitación para padres, visitas a domicilio y grupos de juego.

A respected, long-time child advocate from Lawrence has been selected to receive this year’s Children’s Champion Award at a ceremony April 2nd. Connie A. Ricketts, who has dedicated her adult life to advocating for abused and neglected children, was chosen for the honor by a coalition of Merrimack Valley non-profit organizations dedicated to preventing child abuse. “Connie Ricketts is a passionate and determined advocate for abused and neglected children, and she will not rest until the children she represents are living in safe, nurturing environments.Connie has demonstrated an unending willingness to go the extra mile to fight for kids, and that’s what makes her a deserving recipient of the Children’s Champion Award,” said Ellen Weinhold, chair of the Michael B. Christensen Community and Family Support Center Advisory Board, and one of the event organizers. Ricketts will receive the honor, presented by last year’s recipient, Essex County Juvenile Court Judge Mark Newman, at a ceremony on Thursday, April 2, from 8 to 10 a.m., at the Methuen YMCA, 129 Haverhill Street in Methuen. Those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP by March 27 to Ellen Weinhold at 978-6824951, ext. 24 or by email to eweinhold@ methuenhousing.org. Ricketts is the program director of the Court Appointed Special Advocate program of the Family Services of the Merrimack Valley, a non-profit based in Lawrence. She supervises court advocates who represent the interests of abused and neglected children in family court, and is a long-time volunteer advocate as well. The mother of three adopted children, Ricketts is credited with many successes in advocating for the best interest of the children. These examples illustrate the
impact of her work: - The adoption of many foster children into safe, loving and permanent homes in Massachusetts. - Dogged advocacy for an abandoned 15-year-old boy who received a flood of advocacy services and went on to enroll in the Berkeley College of Music. - The placement of a 7-year-old girl with her aunt, which provided her with a permanent home and ended a string of five foster home placements in a single year. In nominating Ricketts for the award, Elizabeth Sweeney, Executive Director of the Family Services of the Merrimack Valley, wrote: “What Connie’s accomplishments on paper do not reflect is the passion she brings to her work. We hear her on the phone all day, expressing indignation and determination to advocate for these children. It is amazing, with all her years of experience personally and professionally, that the fire in her belly to right these wrongs still burns bright.” The annual Children’s Champion Award is a team effort of the Greater Lawrence Community Action Council, Inc., the Exchange Clubs of the Merrimack Valley, the Merrimack Valley YMCA and the Irish Cottage Restaurant and Pub. The Exchange Clubs of Merrimack Valley are strong supporters of the GLCAC’s Michael B. Christensen Community and Family Support Center. The Christensen Center holds numerous programs in the community aimed at preventing child abuse including parenting skills training, home visits, and play groups.

First Savers in Plaistow Partners with Epilepsy Foundation of New England to Benefit Community New thrift store offers great deals on more than 100,000 items every day. Savers, the national thrift chain with more than 330 locations across North America, is celebrating the opening of its fourth store in New Hampshire and a continued partnership with Epilepsy Foundation of New England (EFNE). The celebration of the Plaistow area location will kick off on Thursday, March 26 with an 8:45 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Savers management and representatives from EFNE, and continue through Saturday, March 28. Grand opening festivities of this new thrift store will include the chance for attendees to win one of five $100 Savers gift certificates. Savers was founded on the core principle of supporting local communities – and has embraced that value by partnering
with local nonprofits since 1954. The Plaistow store’s partnership with EFNE means Savers pays the organization for every donated item, whether it makes it to the sales floor or not. When members of the Plaistow community donate, they are not only giving their goods a second life, they are also turning their otherwise unused goods into sustainable revenue for EFNE. The revenue received is crucial in supporting EFNE’s mission to lead the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome challenges created by epilepsy in New England. With this revenue stream, EFNE is able to provide a wide range of programs and services to more than 3,000 people living with epilepsy in this region, and their families. EFNE trains and educates teachers, nurses, law enforcement and the general public, and offers employment training, support groups, social/cultural opportunities and two camps for kids.
“We’ve partnered with Savers since 2009 and we’re thrilled to expand our relationship with the new Plaistow opening,” said Brad Rich, President of Epilepsy Foundation Donation Center of New England. “The money we receive is so important to benefitting those living with epilepsy in Plaistow and the surrounding communities, so we encourage everyone in the community to get in touch with us and schedule a donation pick-up, or drop off their gently used items at the store’s on-site Community Donation Center.” Not only does Savers offer an easy way for customers to help the local community, but the store makes it easy to shop for quality goods, too. With wide aisles and clean and tidy racks with merchandise organized by department, style and size, Savers is no ordinary thrift store – it’s a place where people from all backgrounds can enjoy a unique selection, good deals and fun treasures in a department store-like
atmosphere. The store carries more than 100,000 unique items on the sales floor at any time and stocks up to 10,000 gently used items every day, ensuring customers continuously find a refreshed assortment of quality, value goods. “We’re very excited to open our first store in Plaistow,” said Doug Glen, the new store manager. “The support we’re able to provide the local community makes us proud, and we can’t wait to welcome both new and familiar customers and introduce them to all our great deals offered throughout the store.” While the new Plaistow store offers strong support for the local community, the network of Savers stores across North America encourages a more sustainable environment overall. By coupling the sale of gently used, quality items with the responsible recycling of items that cannot be sold, Savers, its customers, and its nonprofit partners keep more than 650 million pounds of reusable goods from ending up in landfills each year. Since its founding, Savers has continued to inspire local communities to reduce their waste by reusing and recycling unneeded items, and has showcased that shopping thrift truly is one of the easiest ways to “go green.” The Plaistow store and Community Donation Center, located at 9 Plaistow Road, will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, customers may contact the store directly at (603) 378-0368 or visit www.savers.com.

El Alcalde James J. Fiorentini anunció que ha propuesto una granja solar para ser colocada en un antiguo vertedero. Hace varios años, el Comité Asesor sobre Vertederos de la Alcaldía recomendó por unanimidad que el mejor uso posterior al cierre del vertedero era una granja solar. Este año, el alcalde envió una solicitud de propuesta (RFP) y pidió a las empresas a presentar ofertas en la instalación de un parque solar en el relleno sanitario. El alcalde reunió a expertos externos para asesorar a la Ciudad y obtuvo una subvención del Departamento de Recursos Energéticos para ayudar con la evaluación.
Un número de empresas presentaron sus ofertas. Fue una decisión muy difícil pero el alcalde ha elegido a Sun Edison como nuestro proveedor para ofrecer una granja solar en el relleno sanitario. El Alcalde James J. Fiorentini dijo: "Le pregunté a nuestro Gerente de Energía que evalúe las ofertas, así como el Grupo de Asesoría Energética y me recomendaron que avancemos con la propuesta favorable. Este acuerdo podría ahorrar a la ciudad de más de $7,500,000 en los próximos 20 años.

Mayor Fiorentini Proposes Solar Farm for Old Landfill Could Save Taxpayers up to $7.5 Million Mayor James J. Fiorentini announced that he is proposing a solar farm to be placed at an old landfill. Several years ago, the Mayor’s Landfill Advisory Committee unanimously recommended that the best post closure use of the landfill was a solar farm. This year, the Mayor sent out a Request for Proposal (RFP) and asked for companies to submit bids on installing a solar farm at the landfill. The Mayor brought in outside experts to advise the City and obtained a grant from the Department Of Energy Resources to assist with the evaluation.
A number of companies submitted bids. It was an extremely difficult decision but the Mayor has chosen Sun Edison as our vendor to provide a solar farm at the landfill. Mayor James J. Fiorentini stated: “I asked our Energy Manager to evaluate the bids as well as the Energy Advisory Task Force and they recommended we move forward with the favorable proposal. This deal could save the City over $7.5 million over the next 20 years. “There are limited uses for old landfills, a solar farm is a good option and it will save the City money.

The Man Project Exhibition dates: March 13 – April 24, 2015
Markus Sebastiano, Outsource Future, mixed media, 4x8’, 2014
Inside out March 13 – April 24, 2015 The Chester F. Sidell Gallery at Essex Art Center is pleased to present Inside Out, Markus Sebastiano, Derek Wakeen, and TNERT. “Inside out”: In the midst of Lawrence exists a 3000sq foot industrial mill space referred to by manyartists as "The Warehaus.” Under this roof three emerging artists, Markus Sebastiano, Derek Wakeen, and TNERT, are pushing the limits of their own distinctive media. Markus Sebastiano (Lawrence) showcases his one-of-a-kind mixed media style which incorporates the layering of photographic images over Plexiglas, spray paint stenciling, vintage materials, and faux finished-fabricated steel frames.
The Elizabeth A. Beland Gallery at Essex Art Center is pleased to present The Man Project, paintings by Molly Segal. Molly Segal's painting practice explores psychological ambiguities within intimate spaces. Personal experiences and relationships are used as starting points to investigate ideas about fear, desire, recklessness, and honesty. Using the inherently relational nature of portraiture Molly Segal explores the defensive presumptions she brings to interactions with men. In her statement, she says, "I invite male friends and acquaintances into my studio to sit for a portrait. Portraits are intimate. They involve being physically close to someone and engaging in prolonged eye contact. In explicitly discussing the premise of my project beforehand, both the sitter and the artist are forced to confront their own assumptions, desires, and fears." Molly Segal is intrigued by the ambiguity of these interactions.
In placing men as the subjects of her portraits, she further complicates the power structure between "artist" and "subject" in relation to the history of painting and the role of the gaze, which has been critically talked about and written about in terms of the "male gaze". Molly Segal, in this sense, turns the tables, focusing her gaze on her male subjects. Molly Segal's paintings have been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at: Laconia Gallery, Boston; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and FM, Oakland, CA, among others. She received her MFA from Tufst University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where she is a Boit Award recipient. She lives in Los Angeles, CA.

TNERT, Rosetta, acrylic, 5x5’, 2014. Olli Brix, the enigmatic vagabond and alias of Boston creative, Derek Wakeen (Methuen), merges original music productions with spirited artwork to express the fictional yet relatable world of his creator. TNERT (Lawrence) has little plans. His aspiration is aspiration itself; aspiring to aspire. In this quest to better himself artistically, he has found a medium to best pursue personal progress painting. Within his large scale pieces, he admittedly is still exploring the options stylistically and technically. Derek Wakeen, Olli Brix (I miss you), acrylic on wood,18 x 24”, 2015
