Fire Department Swearing In Ceremony
EDITORIAL | EDITORIAL
Honor a quien honor merece
By Alberto Suris
On Saturday, March 21st, 2015 at
Lawrence Firefighters Reliefs In the City of
Lawrence held a Swearing In Ceremony for
the Fire Department.
Sworn in was the new Lawrence
Firefighter Chief Brian Moriarty, Tara
Reardon, the first woman to serve as
Lawrence Fire Department as Captain;
Ryan Lavallee and Patrick LaFrance as
Lieutenant; John Duggan, Firefighter and
Elvis Frias, Daniel Sullivan and Wilson
Ventura as Private.
READRUMBOONLINE!RUMBONEWS.COM
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.

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.”

• With door to door Transportation to medical appointments.
• With an advocate, to accompany the elder into the medical appointment.
• With food shopping & picking up prescriptions.
• With companionship, someone they can just talk with.

City of Lawrence Hosts Application Drive for
Civil Service Exam
You have until the 26th of this month to apply
to be able to take the exam on April 25th.
On March 21st, the City of Lawrence
hosted an application drive for the
upcoming Civil Service Police Officer
written exam scheduled for April 25th,
2015. The application drive is geared
towards encouraging individuals interested
in becoming a police officer to apply for
the civil service exam. Women, minorities,
veterans and people with disabilities are
encouraged to apply to take the exam.
“The civil service exam application
process is not always an easy one,” said
Interim Police Chief James Fitzpatrick.
“This application drive will offer guidance
as individuals go through each step of the
application while answering any questions
they may have about the process.”
Throughout the application drive,
computers were set up in the Council
Chambers at the first floor of City Hall
where interested parties filled out the Civil
Service exam application and paid online.
There was also an informational slide
show regarding the exam material playing
at City Hall throughout the day as well a
uniformed Police Officer on hand to answer
any questions applicants may have about
the exam and the process of becoming a
police officer.
“I want to encourage all individuals
who are interested in being a police officer
and are of good character to apply for the
civil service exam; this is an opportunity to
have any questions pertaining to the job and
application process answered,” said Mayor
Daniel Rivera. “Plus, you can’t get on the
list to be a cop if you don’t take the test.”
According to City of Lawrence
Personnel Director Frank Bonet, 41 women
of a total of 150 citizens applied. “Pretty
good, for a city where according to the
Census, 58% are women”, said Bonet.
If you haven’t applied you still have
a chance, according to City of Lawrence
Personnel Director Frank Bonet, you have
until the 26th of this month and all you
need is a driver’s license, a DD214 Form
(for Veterans only), a debit or credit card
for payment (application fee is $150)—no
other forms of payment can be accepted.
Applicants must be 21 or older on or by
April 25th, 2015 to be eligible.
For any questions regarding the Civil
Service Exam Application or the application
process, please contact the City of Lawrence
Personnel Department at 978-620-3060 or

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.

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.

hosted a welcome reception on
the evening of Friday, March 6
for the inaugural class of Abbott
Lawrence Academy, the firstof-its kind accelerated studies
program launching next year
under Lawrence Public Schools’
turnaround plan. The roughly 100
incoming 9th graders -- selected
from a competitive application
process -- were congratulated
by Superintendent Jeffrey C.

families, and had the opportunity
to learn more about the people and
programs of Abbott Lawrence Abbott Lawrence Academy Principal Stacy Ciprich

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. Go to
her webpage www.thewhalemobile.com
In the end, we conserve only what we love, love only what we understand, and understand only what we are taught. ~Baba Dioum

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."

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.

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

una ceremonia que se celebrará el jueves
2 de abril, de 8 a 10 a.m. en la YMCA de

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Founded in 1954, Savers is a privately
held global thrift retailer offering clothing
and accessories for men, women and
children and household goods under the
Savers, Value Village, Village des Valeurs
and Unique Thrift Store brands. Through
its unique business model of purchasing,
reselling and recycling secondhand
merchandise, the Savers family of thrift
stores benefits more than 150 nonprofit
organizations, gives local consumers a
smart way to shop, and saves more than 650

landfills each year. Savers pays its nonprofit

otherwise unused items into sustainable
funding that supports their vital community
programs and services. Savers operates
more than 330 locations and has 20,000

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.
"Hay usos limitados de antiguos vertederos,
una granja solar es una buena opción y que
le ahorrará dinero a la Ciudad.
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.

discussion session, at 6 p.m. Wednesday,

Room, 50 Kearney Square in Lowell. This

A film about Cambodia’s cultural and
artistic renaissance, “Angkor’s Children”
is told through the voices of three young

hope and unexpected turns as they recapture
the ancient – and embrace the modern to
create their future.
A singer of Buddhist poetry, a circus
artist, and former garment workers,
grassroots protest band – theses are
“Angkor’s Children.” Sreypov, Phunam and
Messenger Band have stepped out of the
dark past of their parents by expressing the
resiliency of Cambodia through their art and
advocacy. They are pioneers who are part
of a global movement of women who are
changing and inspiring the world. “Angkor’s
Children” is a film of hope for post-conflict
nations that are also seeking renewal through
cultural and artistic expression.
Lauren Shaw is director of the short
documentary film, “A Drop in the Bucket”
(2009), which has won numerous awards
and screened at film festivals and museums
across the U.S. She is the recipient of two
National Endowment Regional grants, and
received the Irma Stearns Mann Award at

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.
