Rhode Island resident Milary Tavares leads a contingent of revelers down Boylston Street during the Dominican Festival Parade. The parade marked the first time in the 30 years that the festival was held downtown.

Dominicans celebrate 30th festival at City Hall Growing community brings celebration downtown

By YAWU MILLER Back in 1985 a crowd of about 2,000 gathered at Mozart Park on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain for the city’s first Dominican Festival.

A young Yadires Nova-Salcedo served as the Reina Anacaona, the first queen of the festival.

Fast forward 30 years, and Nova-Salcedo, who hosts and produces the weekly news program Centro at WBZ-TV 4 is in a similar role, but the festival is much larger and has moved downtown.

“It’s crazy,” she said, perched in the back of a ’57 Chevy convertible.

Fesitval on pages 6-7.

“Thirty years later, now I’m the godmother. Now we’re at City Hall. This makes me so proud.”

In that 30-year span, the city’s Dominican community has grown from a few thousand families centered in Jamaica Plain to one of the city’s largest ethnic groups.

With more than 38,000 Boston residents claiming Dominican heritage, Dominicans have outgrown Puerto Ricans as the largest Latino group in Boston.

“They’ve already surpassed all other Latino groups in the state,” notes Suffolk County Register of Probate Felix D. Arroyo, while listening to a rendition of the anthemic paean to the Dominican Republic, Quisqueya.

Singer Cristobal Pichardo’s voice echoed off the concrete and glass of City Hall, filling the plaza with Dominican pride. Through song and dance, Dominican cultural heritage was on display in downtown Boston for the first time in the history of the festival.

By YAWU MILLER When police officer Ronnie Jones got a call from the police department back in 2002 informing him he had tested positive for cocaine, he was sure there was a mistake.

“I told them I don’t even drink,” he said. “I wouldn’t spend a dime on a beer, let alone cocaine.”

The officer told Jones to wait for a call from Internal Affairs, and then hung up.

“Within 20 minutes, Internal Affairs was by my house to retrieve my weapon,” Jones said.

The hair test police relied on initially found that Jones tested positive for cocaine with 5.12 nanograms of cocaine/10 milligrams of hair — one billionth of a gram over the department’s 5 nanogram limit. He requested a re-test that showed 2.4 nanograms of cocaine/10 milligrams of hair.

Like all officers who tested positive, Jones was given a choice. He could sign a form admitting he had used cocaine, take a 45-day unpaid suspension and agree to drug counseling and random urine

testing over the next three years, or he could be fired. Jones would not sign the form.

He was fired.

Along with ten other defendants, Jones eventually joined a lawsuit against the department, filed by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice, claiming that the hair test it used was unreliable. In a second lawsuit, Jones and other plaintiffs argued that hair testing produced a discriminatory result, with a higher percentage of false positives for blacks.

Scientific debate on hair testing

The Boston Police Department uses a hair test developed by Psychemedics, a company headquartered in Acton. The company searches for so-called metabolites of cocaine, chemicals formed when the drug is ingested. Unlike urine testing, which can detect cocaine only within two to four days of its use, hair testing is thought to be able to detect cocaine used at any point in the life of a strand of hair.

MBTA trains Hub teens at bus yard High schoolers gain hands-on experience

By JULE PATTISON-GORDON In the MBTA Cabot Garage, young men surrounded a car on a lift. Wearing bright orange shirts with reflective stripes, navy workpants, blue plastic gloves, protective glasses, and sturdy boots, the five teens were dressed like the other mechanics there. The only difference? They were still in high school.

The students, from Madison Park Vocational High School,

arrived at Cabot Garage at 7:30am in morning, 3 days a week, and stayed until 4pm as part of a seven week paid summer internship with the MBTA. On the other days they learned career development skills and visited different sites to see the variety of careers available in transportation.

The internships were part of MassDOT University, a collaborative effort between the MBTA, MassDOT, Roxbury Massachusetts Advanced Polytechnic

Pathway Program (RoxMAPP), and Madison Park to increase MBTA recruitment and ease the pathway from school to career.

Last year, the MBTA ran the Summer Transportation Internship program a well, but this was the first year to involve hands-on mechanic work. Billy Walsh, superintendent of the Cabot Maintenance Facility said that the last time they had had a program like this was 10 or 15 years ago.

One of the MassDOT University program’s goals is to reach out

Renovated Eliot Burying Ground opens Pierpont family, whose descendants founded Yale University and JP Morgan Chase; John Eliot, the Puritan missionary known for translating the Bible into Algonquian, and members of the family for whom the nearby; Dudley Square is named.

Rushing noted that one of the reasons Roxbury history is also appreciated by those whose ancestors are not from the area is due to sites like Eliot Burying Ground that serve to pass on the knowledge of what the area was once like.

Founded in 1630, Eliot Burying Ground is one of the oldest historic cemeteries in Boston. While other historic cemeteries have moved gravestones from the original locations, Eliot is one of the few to have largely resisted reorganizing. (A few gravestones have been moved to make room for paths).

The grounds also hosts Roxbury’s oldest human-made structure to still survive about ground: the tombstone of a child who died in the mid-1600’s.

Eliot Burying Ground also played a role in the Revolutionary War, when it was used to protect the living as well as the dead.

Knowing that any Redcoats riding out of Boston would have to cross through the site, colonists built fortifications there to protect the entrance to Roxbury and the road to Dorchester.

The cemetery, said Stanley, serves to “tell us about our history — Roxbury history, American history,” adding that the graveyard and similar historical sites reflected the fingerprint of each group who lived in Roxbury, from the Puritans on.

“Every group leaves their mark,” she said. “Every person that comes — every group that comes — to an area leaves something of themselves there.”

By JULE PATTISON-GORDON Thanks to current renovations, Eliot Burying Ground is looking especially tidy. A new cement paver path cuts through the grass, the trees have been pruned, and along Washington and Eustis streets the fence has been restored and some of the wall has been repointed. Several new plaques recount the rich history, illustrated by maps and photos.

Despite all the renovations and history, the one thing the graveyard had lacked was visitors. A stone wall topped with a black iron fence circles the burying ground and for a long time, the gate was firmly locked against drop-by visitors. Visitors could only gain access if they submitted a request 24 hours in advance.

All that changed last Friday, August 14th when the Boston Parks and Recreation Department officially opened the Burying Ground 24/7.

“As part of an effort to increase visitation, the site is no longer being locked. If this creates unsafe circumstances, we will have to look for other solutions,” said Ryan Woods, Director of External Affairs for the Department.

The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Signature Urban Parks Program grant that funded the renovations stipulates that the grounds be kept open, said Kathy Kottaridis, executive director of Historic Boston Incorporated.

Prior to Friday, there was debate over when and how the

The Parks Department is now keeping the colonial-era site unlocked. cemetery should be opened once renovations finished. The plaques serve little purpose with no one to read them, and the cemetery is an important piece of local history.

However, past experiences had made many wary of simply throwing the gates open.

“I think it should be open,” said Joyce Stanley, executive director of Dudley Main Streets and a member of the Roxbury Historic Society. “I think people need to come and see their history. Of

course you can’t just leave everything open because things are fragile, but schools should come here, and people from the neighborhood who live here should come.”

In the past, the cemetery has suffered from vandalism. Earlier plaques were defaced and the place was once a popular site to do drugs and drink. The gravestones are so fragile that taking rubbings is explicitly forbidden State Representative Byron Rushing credits Eliot Burying

Ground’s exceptionally good preservation in part to the fact that the grounds haven’t been opened on a regular basis.

Rushing favors opening the graveyard on specific days like Patriot’s Day when high numbers of visitors are likely, so long as someone is appointed to monitor.

Another possibility, he said, is to assign responsibility to the adjacent Fire Station or, when it opens, the Nawn Factory, for providing access and ensuring that everyone who enters exits.

Q&A

Interview with Segun Idowu of BPCAT

By JULE PATTISON-GORDON Segun Idowu is the co-founder of Boston Police Camera Action Team, which calls for equipping police with body cameras.

Recently BPCAT presented the Boston City Council with a sixpage ordinance written that detailed a proposed policy for the cameras’ use, should they be implemented.

Idowu and several friends were inspired to create BPCAT in response to the high-profile police killings of unarmed blacks. They launched the group on Meetup. com. Within days, dozens of people joined and met to develop a name, logo, and mission. They also issued a press release and began meeting with city residents. The group has 20 active members.

Idowu is a Boston native who has lived in Roxbury, Dorchester, Roslindale, Hyde Park, and now Mattapan. He graduated Boston Latin (2007) before receiving his Bachelor’s from Morehouse College (2012) and serving as a legislative aide for City Councilor Charles Yancey.

Though his family was always politically engaged, Idowu says his first immersion into social justice work was in 2011, his senior year of college, when Troy Davis was executed by the state of Georgia. As one of the MLK Jr. International Chapel Assistants, Idowu helped lead several hundred students from Morehouse and Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University to Jackson, GA to protest.

He has had personal experiences with police in Massachusetts stopping him without provocation, but says that even if he had not, he would still be moved to act.

“The fact that even one person of color continues to feel threatened and unsafe around a Boston police officer would have spurred us to continue to push for body cameras so that this feeling could be eradicated for good,” he says.

The Banner spoke with Idowu about BPCAT. Below is an edited version of the interview.

Where did the idea originate for the Boston Police Camera Action Team?

Idowu: The way it started was, of course, Mike Brown got killed on August 9th. We got with the other co-organizer of the group — we were very good friends — and

BANNER PHOTO

Boston Police Camera Action Team founder Seguin Idowu speaks to reporters following a City Council hearing on the group’s proposed legislation. we wound up venting about it.

And so the idea came from the fact that we are very active on Twitter and one of the issues that people were talking about was body cameras.

We decided that after Trayvon died and Kevin Davis, Eric Garner, we always got upset but we always got stuck on ‘What do we do?’, which is where most people get stuck. There’s all these things that we want to see, but we don’t know where to start. So we decided that we wouldn’t let that pass us by again. At that time we thought that body cameras were an easy thing to try to champion, and then, of course, we found out later on that that wasn’t true. So that’s what inspired me to start with body cameras.

Why do you think is the main reason Boston needs police outfitted with body cameras?

Idowu: I think that first of all body cameras are only a start.

When we began this, we didn’t think it was the solution, as the mayor and the commissioner keep saying. Until we understand it better there’s not one solution, but we thought it was one way to create more accountability and better transparency in our police department and we wanted

Boston to be a model. That’s why we didn’t just want to start an organization that just demanded body cameras, but one that also participated in forming the policy in creating such a program.

And again, cameras don’t lie; they’re objective observers.

As we’ve seen, even though the grand jury didn’t return the decision that we wanted for the Eric Garner case, at the end of the day, none of us would have known the name of Eric Garner if we hadn’t seen it on video. Everyone would have just gone with the story that he died of asthma or of a heart attack, and we would never have seen that he was actually choked to death. … With everything leading up to where it is, we just believe that cameras on cops would get us towards more accountability, and the idea that the justice that we so often protest and scream for would be more attainable if there were body cameras present.

Your document has specific policies to protect the privacy of crime victims, suspects, witnesses and others who may be captured on video. What inspired the ideas for those policies?

Idowu: We worked a lot with ACLU and…the Harvard Black

Law School Association and it was through these partnerships that we began to take a serious look at privacy.

When we first began we thought it was an easy issue — just put the body cameras on, and that’s that. Through more research we discovered privacy was a huge, huge, huge concern. We took pains to ensure that what we finally produced would meet the criteria set forth by the big privateers in the state.

We had to think about it personally as well. If an officer walks into my house, do I want them to be recording when I’m here?

Or if I’m the victim of a crime or at the scene of a crime trying to inform on someone, do I want the camera rolling all the time?

It was also putting ourselves in the position of the person on the other side of the camera that caused us to look at it as a serious issue.

What did you think of the city council’s reaction when they received the proposal?

Idowu: It was very disappointing I would say. I had a little bit more faith that the city council would listen to us more than the mayor and the commissioner have been.

It‘s been pretty evident in a lot of interviews that the mayor and the commissioner gave before the hearing that they hadn’t actually read it. Every time they said, well we have concerns about privacy, we have concerns about cost, we have concerns about XYZ, a lot of us look at each other and say, ‘Wow if they had read the ordinance, it addresses those things.’ In my opinion, it’s a much healthier conversation to not say, ‘I have privacy concerns,’ but rather to say, ‘This ordinance does not address all my concerns; this is how it could be better.’ Unfortunately with the city council, it was the same thing.

It was also very frustrating because they didn’t ask me any questions. Here was the representative of the group that produced the ordinance before them, and they didn’t ask that person anything. They asked the commissioner his opinion about the ordinance he had not read. They asked the supplementary chief their opinion. And they asked the director of ACLU. There I was sitting and I could have answered a lot of their questions and they choose not to ask me to respond. So that was frustrating as well.

I was even more disappointed with the commissioner and chief because here they were saying that the people on the panel — which they’re referring to myself and Carol Rose [executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts] — were not an accurate representation of the community.

As soon as the community they said they wanted to hear from got up to speak, they were up in front of cameras giving interviews about how the community was not there and how body cameras were not necessary in Boston. A lot of people were upset by that and I was as well ... I just thought it was a dog and pony show. We wanted to have a real conversation about how to make our department even better, and they were not open to that conversation, which was unfortunate.

Commissioner Evans has said he cautions against moving too quickly into implementing a body-worn camera policy. How soon do you think cameras should be implemented?

Idowu: As soon as possible.

Established 1965

Consistent voter turnout is key to building real political power Fifty years ago or so, several statutes were enacted to resolve some of the legal aspects of the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended the legality of racial discrimination in employment, education and places of public accommodation. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed numerous impediments to black registration and voting. And the Fair Housing Act of 1968 made it more difficult to discriminate in the sale or rental of housing.

While many blacks wanted more, especially greater fellowship with other Americans, the confrontational aspect of the civil rights movement was considered to be over.

That was certainly a period of optimism, but with such a long history of racial oppression in America, there was little reason to believe the battle was over. A century earlier, in 1865, the 13th Amendment had outlawed slavery. Shortly thereafter the 14th Amendment granted slaves U.S. citizenship and, in 1870, the 15th Amendment granted blacks the right to vote. Just as important as the right to vote, the 15th Amendment also granted Congress the authority to enforce this right.

However, there was no way that the plantation owners in the 19th century South were going to turn over political power to

blacks. In two states, Mississippi and South Carolina, the majority of the population was black, and throughout the South 36 percent of the population was black. With the help of the Ku Klux Klan and the Night Riders, it was not long before the black political resurgence was crushed. The so-called Reconstruction period lasted for only about 15 years after the Civil War. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2040 the white population in the U.S. will no longer be the majority. Once again the oligarchs have no intention of ceding political power.

Their strategy is to take control of state governments so that they can establish favorable decennial congressional redistricting patterns.

So far this strategy has worked. Across the nation 31 governors are Republican and their party controls 28 legislatures. The plan is to gerrymander the districts so that Republican candidates will have a greater chance to win.

Unfortunately, while the black turnout has been great for presidential elections and it might be good when the governor’s office is at stake, there still is not the systematic, massive black turnout needed for every election. Until that happens, the development of black political power will be impeded.

Vote Tuesday, September 8 Some citizens are unenthusiastic about voting because of the power of incumbency.

Research finds that in about 85 percent of political campaigns the candidate presently in office is re-elected. Also, a strong incumbent will discourage the rise of opponents. On Sept.

8 there will be a preliminary election in Boston for the City Council. However, there will be no election for the four at-large seats because there are not nine or more contenders. Also, there will be no election for seven of the nine district seats because there are not two or more candidates in each race. Only in District 4 in Dorchester and District 7 in Roxbury will there be contests.

Tito Jackson in District 7 will undoubtedly move on to the final. It is uncertain which of the five other contestants he will confront: Kevin Dwire, Charles Clemons Jr., Haywood Fennell Sr., Roy Owens or Althea Garrison. However, Jackson has performed well in office and is likely to be re-elected.

In District 4, the incumbent Charles Yancey will have a tough fight against Andrea Campbell, who has been tirelessly campaigning from doorto-door. The other candidate Terrance Williams will not likely survive the primary.

Regardless of the anticipated outcome, it is important to vote. Be somebody and be counted.

Life turned towards the surreal this summer whenever we heard of black church burnings and Ku Klux Klan rallies. That in 2015 the Klan could stage a rally — as it did one Saturday last month — just sounds absurd.

The Klan’s history is one of sponsored violence against innocent citizens — primarily black people. To further its white supremacist ideology, the Klan has sought to provoke

fear among civilians with intimidation tactics particularly vile in nature — lynching, tar-and-featherings and rape, along with the requisite church burnings and bombings.

The Department of Homeland Security defines terrorism as any act of violence intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population. The Klan has always traded in terror, and so, by today’s standards, should be labeled a terrorist organization.

Perhaps the government can permit itself to do what it should have done a long time ago — that is, put the Klan out of its misery and retire it to the dust where it belongs. Instead, on any given Saturday we might find the Ku Klux Klan still crusading on behalf of hate and bigotry.

Trump’s Trump Card: The Conservative Mob

Why do you think turnout is low for City Council elections in Boston?

By LEE A. DANIELS

The fate of the Republican Party’s presidential sweepstakes at the moment is being controlled by two political Frankensteins — both of them of the GOP’s own creation.

One, of course, is Donald Trump, the wealthy demagogue who is leading the crowded GOP primary field precisely because he doesn’t have any “platform” except crowing that he’ll dominate anyone at home and abroad who disagrees with him and be cruel to the downtrodden.

The GOP’s second Frankenstein consists of Trump’s supporters among the Republican Party voters, who are also uninterested in the complexities of foreign or domestic policy issues and just want to dominate everyone else who is not like them.

Along with his wealth, they’re Trump’s trump card against the GOP party regulars because, like him, they have no loyalty to the Republican Party as an institution, or to the actual ideas of American conservatism. And forget all that excuse-making about their being “angry” at the difficulties besetting American society. The plain truth is that these people want their intolerance stoked. For all their railing against “Wall Street,” they always choose to take out their anger on the easy targets — Americans of color and those with fewer resources. They want to let their bent for selfishness and callousness show, and Trump is speaking for them.

Trump and his supporters didn’t just appear out of nowhere, however. They’re a creation of the GOP’s own contempt for the inclusiveness and complexity of today’s American society and of the traditional political processes that have produced that result.

That’s what the GOP actions of the Obama Years mean. To cite a few: the Republicans’ more than 50 votes in Congress to try to block Obamacare, despite their knowing every single time they wouldn’t succeed. The GOP’s constructing an extensive campaign in states controlled by GOP legislatures to block Democratic-leaning voters access to the ballot box. Its engineering the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court Citizens United ruling that destroyed limits on contributions to political campaigns — to enable the wealthy to undermine the one-person-one-vote foundation of American democracy. In policy issue after policy issue, one finds the reflexive, no-compromise opposition of the Republicans.

Several years ago Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-wining economist and New York Times columnist, among others, attributed that stance to a “widening wonk gap — the G.O.P.’s near-complete lack of expertise on anything substantive,” as well as its growing electoral dependence on white fundamentalist evangelical Protestants.

Now, the success of Trump’s style of bluster and verbal crudeness among the GOP Base goes beyond the wonk gap. He’s turned a segment of the GOP Base into a mob.

That achievement has stood out in sharp relief since the GOP debate of August 7 when Fox News’ journalist Megyn Kelly’s questioning of Trump’s past misogynistic comments provoked his now infamous “blood” remarks against her. Trump’s supporters then unleashed a torrent of vile e-mails and tweets that flooded numerous conservative and mainstream media outlets, condemning Kelly and Fox News itself for supposedly disrespecting Trump.

That these ferociously bigoted, profanity-laced responses were aimed at a leading star in the conservative media constellation who hosts a top-rated show on the network conservatives trust the most indicates how much distance exists between the institutional Republican Party and a large part of its voting base. Nor was that treatment confined to Kelly and Fox alone.

When another leading conservative, Erick Erickson, learning of Trump’s “blood” remark, disinvited him from appearing at his RedState Gathering conference that weekend, he too, was quickly deluged with hundreds of fiercely written e-mails from Trump supporters. Erickson told the conference attendees that many of them referred to him using the dreaded word, “liberal;” to President Obama using, as he noted, “the n-word;” and to Kelly using “the c-word.”

That violence of language bespeaks a profound, uncontrollable irrationality — which, combined with their lack of loyalty to the Republican Party, presents a significant obstacle to the thus far completely unsuccessful efforts by the GOP establishment to both quash the Trump insurgency within the GOP and persuade him not to run a third-party campaign.

Right now, their failure is Trump’s most powerful trump card.

I think people still think there’s too much machine politics in Boston.

People don’t think voting someone new in will change things.

I think the City Council doesn’t have enough power. They don’t control the city budget and policies that directly affect the quality of life in our communities.

One reason is that people don’t trust politicians. And people don’t like the choices.

BOSTONSCENES DOMINICAN FESTIVAL

Dominican continued from page 1

marched at the head of the parade, spectators waving Dominican Flags lined the route along Boylston Street and up Tremont to City Hall Plaza. Also at the head of the parade was Enerio “Tony” Barros, a senior advisor to the mayor who was one of the organizers of the first Dominican festival at Mozart Park.

“The Dominican population is growing,” he said. “We’re not only part of the landscape of the neighborhoods, but we own a lot of the businesses in the neighborhoods, too.”

Storefronts in commercial districts in Roxbury, Dorchester and Hyde Park are dotted with Dominican businesses, reflecting the movement of the growing community away from gentrified Jamaica Plain.

The offices of several of the five Dominican Republic political parties active in the city also occupy storefronts in Boston neighborhoods. Dominicans in the United States can and do vote in the island’s presidential elections. And for Dominican candidates, Boston is an important campaign stop for votes and fundraising.

In recent years, Boston-area Dominicans have become more active in local elections as well, volunteering on campaigns for state and local office.

“The community is hugely important,” said District 6 City Councilor Matt O’Malley, whose

Jamaica Plain/West Roxbury district includes many Dominican businesses. “The Irish and Dominicans have a lot in common. We’re very passionate about politics.”

The mayor, O’Malley, Arroyo and Councilor Tito Jackson were the only elected officials present at this year’s festival, though last year’s brought out a number of state-wide candidates, including Gov. Charlie Baker.

“He said, ‘Why don’t you folks bring this downtown?’” Barros recalled. “I think it was the next logical step.”

The parade’s downtown debut seemed to go well. Parade floats from local businesses, cultural groups and Dominican political parties filled the streets with the driving rhythms of Dominican merengue and bachata. Lining the route, spectators included uniformed hotel and restaurant workers who took breaks from their Sunday schedule to express Participating Employers: Dominican pride.

continued from page 1 to students as young as 8th grade and hopefully make them excited to enter the industry.

Walsh said the MBTA has had trouble finding qualified mechanics.

“There’s a shortage nationwide,” he said. “Not enough youth want to do this work.”

Another purpose of the program was to increase students’ awareness of the breadth of transportation careers available.

Some students took internships in less-publicized transportation fields such as at the MBTA Medical Clinic or in IT. Cabot Garage, too, defies the classic vision of the MBTA: it services about 180 police vehicles and 200 executive cars, and no buses or trains.

“These individuals [in the program] are getting an opportunity to see beyond positions most folks see at the MBTA,” said Troy Ellerbee, Director of Bus Maintenance, Revenue & Non-Revenue Maintenance Garages. “Most folks see bus drivers. [At Cabot] we’re the supporting cast. Most individuals at high school are not aware these possibilities are open for them.”

Skill mastery

At the Cabot Garage, the Madison Park students learned allaround aspects of the shop from how to fix an engine to safe procedures and how to clean up equipment and the workspace. They were paired with mechanic mentors and required to uphold the demands of a real job, including proper attire and punctuality.

Rising junior Tariq Hardy said he enjoyed that the program let

him “learn something new every day” and Harold Zapata (rising senior) was happily surprised to find the work hands on.

With employees away on family vacations, the students stepped in to take over the necessary work.

“These kids fill that gap…fill a big void for us on our end doing real work while that person is gone,” said Walsh.

Over the course of the program, the Madison Park students reached the point where they could work mostly independently.

“They could come to work here and actually work,” said Walsh.

The students will leave the program with a resume and journal cataloguing the tools they used and jobs they accomplished each day so they can show future employers.

For graduating senior Marc Nelson, the jobs included working on the diesel engines for both an armored car and a tower truck.

After high school, Nelson will go on to Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology to study automotive repair. He says he plans to apply to work at the MBTA once he is able to.

Walsh would like to expand the program to take more students, reach out to more vocational tech schools, provide programs like this one during fall and winter school breaks, and make further effort to retain the interns by providing work study programs. “It’s been a good project so far. It needs to ramp up. We could take 50 kids,” he said.

“We’re working with Madison Park along with [other schools] to establish a TransSTEM High school,” said Chris Bond, Director Education & Development for MassDOT/MBTA “This will be a model after we launch it with Madison Park [that] we believe

we’ll be able to take across the state to other tech high schools.”

Classroom to career

Eighteen Madison Park students participated in the program this summer. RoxMAPP and Madison Park aim to use this kind of internship program to make a smooth path from classroom to career so graduating students can transition easily into entry-level work.

Urban College of Boston

The outreach to students is just one of a “three-pillar” program by the MBTA to increase their employment. Other initiatives focus on encouraging adults in target communities, including under-employed demographics such as veterans and members of the homeless, to apply for jobs. To further this, MassDOT University will collaborate with Roxbury Community College to provide

education and awareness about MBTA jobs they plan to hire for in the next two years and will assist with job preparedness training.

The third pillar focuses on training current MBTA employees for opportunities such as management positions.

MassDOT University is part of a Federal Transportation Authority Ladders of Opportunity Grant Program.

Rox. development projects get green light from city a number of office and residential buildings as well as the newly-built Kensington building on Washington Street in Chinatown, where luxury one-bedroom units rent for $4,000 a month.

An attorney for the firm would not comment on specific plans for the Radius site.

“Things are in the works,” said attorney Leonard Zide. “I’m not at liberty to say anything until the ink is dry on all the documents.”

A community activist who spoke with representatives of KIC said the firm will likely demolish the existing yellow brick hospital buildings currently on the parcel and build new structures.

Closing on the property is scheduled for Sept. 30.

By YAWU MILLER While the steel and glass luxury apartment towers going up downtown have come to typify Boston’s building boom, the city has greenlighted several smaller projects in and around Roxbury that show a different side to the city’s expanding housing market.

The projects promise to bring a mixture of market-rate and affordable housing units to the Roxbury area, as well as ground-level retail space that could contribute to the revitalization of long-vacant commercial areas.

Warren Street development

At 280-290 Warren Street, opposite the Washington Park Mall, the Cruz Development Corporation got the nod from the Department of Neighborhood Development to build a four-story mixed-use building with groundlevel retail and office space and 51 rental units on the upper three floors. Five units would be available to renters earning less than 30 percent of the area median income and 31 units for renters earning less than 60 percent of the AMI. The remaining 15 would be market rate.

Principal John B. Cruz says the firm will move the offices of its development entity, currently located in John Eliot Square, and its management entity, housed on Massachusetts Avenue, to the new building.

Cruz said he hopes to lease space to a restaurant or café as well.

“I can’t wait for the second phase of the project to be completed so I can sit at the corner of Warren and Waverly streets at a café on a nice day sipping a glass of wine or a cappuccino,” he said.

“We’re going to bring amenities we

Also approved is the Waldwin Group’s proposal for a four-story building with two ground-floor retail spaces. Waldwin Group CEO Clayton Turnbull, who owns a number of Dunkin’ Donuts franchises, has proposed siting one of the donut shops in one of the retail spaces on the parcel.

The upper floors will house 12 market-rate apartments: three one-bedroom units and nine two-bedroom units.

Turnbull’s firm won out over proposals for a housing developments by Urbanica Inc., which would have put a community arts

Radius site under agreement

The Kensington Investment Company, rental housing developers with a portfolio that includes properties in the Back Bay, Dorchester and Mattapan, placed the winning bid for the site of the former Radius hospital on Townsend Street during an

auction last week.

“KIC is looking forward to continuing to be part of the growth in Roxbury and surrounding areas,” a spokeswoman for the firm said in a statement emailed to the Banner. “Its intention is to work with the community and build sustainable workforce housing on the site.”

The sloped, 4.96 acre parcel currently has 159,000 square feet of built space in five connected buildings with three parking lots.

In a move that sparked community protest, the Boston Redevelopment Authority board voted to approve 3200 Washington LLC’s proposed 76-unit apartment building complex at Washington Street and Montebello Road. The development would include more than 5,000 square feet of retail space.

The Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council voted the project down, citing the height of its proposed six story buildings along Washington Street and the developers’ refusal to set aside 25 units of the development as affordable housing.

Protesters packed the BRA board room and the hallway outside as the agency’s board voted four to one in favor of the development.

BIZ BITS TIP OF THE WEEK

Five tips for hot savings You may be enjoying the fun and sun of summer activities, but your bank account may think otherwise. It’s difficult to save money this time of year, but with smart budgeting you can still enjoy everything the warm weather has to offer. Instead of forgoing the fun, consider cutting the costs instead.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not.

Beat the heat of your bank account this season by following these five tips for hot savings: 1. Maximize your rewards.

Whether a credit card or vacation points program, you can save big when you take the time to understand your rewards program. Many offer cash back, mileage, you name it! Spending wisely throughout the year may help you save up for a rewards splurge later!

2. Cell savings. If you’re phone bill is busting at the seams, kick it to the curb. Straight Talk Wireless is now offering 30-day Unlimited Talk and Text with more high speed data than ever before with the first 5GB of high speed data at 4G LTE speeds. You can even keep your existing phone, network and number, with Straight Talk’s Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) program.

3. Save on energy. You may not realize one of the biggest energy hogs in your home isn’t large appliances - it’s your cable box. A simple flip of the switch at the end of the day can save you big time. And don’t forget to keep boxes off in rooms where the TV isn’t used as often. If no one’s watching, then you shouldn’t be paying.

4. Don’t let your thermostat stray when away. Many brands now offer apps that let you control all of the appliances in your home right from your smartphone. Home automation technology can even tell you how much power you use on your electronics, giving you valuable insight into which electronics are costing you the most each month. Many also feature auto-away settings. By monitoring your habits you can program your settings for a more cost effective lifestyle.

5. Implement the 30-day rule.

Evading instant purchasing-gratification is hard, but it’s an often overlooked tactic for balancing personal finance.

By waiting 30 days, shoppers typically find after a month has passed, the urge to buy has passed as well. You’ll have saved yourself some money simply by waiting. In the instance you’re on the fence about a purchase anyway, waiting a while can give you a better perspective on whether it’s truly worth the money. If you still want it at the end of 30 days, then go ahead and buy it!

Putting faith in fashion

PHOTOS COURTESY OF SAINT JOHN 316

Above, Saint John 316’s upcoming fall/winter “Army of God” line features Army fatigue-style pants, jackets and pullover tees. Below, Saint John 316’s upcoming fall/winter line of hoodies, jackets, thermal shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts and hooded pullover T-shirts.

Entrepreneurs draw inspiration from scripture for clothing line

By MARTIN DESMARAIS The founders of Saint John 316, married couple Keith and Renee B. Ware, want to send a faith-based message with their apparel and lifestyle fashion brand — the Christian-based theme reflects their personal beliefs — but they also are savvy enough to know that their market focus may be the key to getting their fledgling venture off the ground.

On many Sundays you can find them selling Saint John 316 clothing at Jubilee Christian Church in Mattapan, their portable store and tables set up as people leave services.

The company’s name derives from one of the most widely known verses in the Christian Bible, John 3:16. Its focus on the “urban Christian community” hits home for worshipers at the 10,000-member church, to which the Wares also belong.

“We do very well there. They love the brand,” said Renee Ware.

ON THE WEB Saint John 316 http://saintjohn316.com/ Facebook www.facebook.com/saintjohnthreesixteen Twitter https://twitter.com/saintjohn_316 Pinterest www.pinterest.com/saintjohn_316/noir-en-blanco/ YouTube www.youtube.com/user/saintjohn316TV

Serving as test group for the company’s fashions and as an early source of revenue, Keith Ware points out that Jubilee, which also has a branch in Stoughton, has helped get the word out about the brand.

“You are not only reaching those people at Jubilee, they have friends and they have family — it is reaching out to all of them,” Keith said.

The next move is to target similar Christian communities and duplicate the sales strategy Saint John 316 has at Jubilee.

In addition, the company already vends clothing at other Christian-related events, including gospel concerts, plays and conferences.

In some cases, these events

don’t even have a plan in place for allowing vendors, but Keith said they convince organizers of the value of it and, in doing so, can open doors to other venues for sales and brand awareness.

Good offerings

As is standard for any apparel brand, they also take part in fashion shows and trunk shows, which showcase Saint John 316 apparel to a fashion-conscious audience.

For men, Saint John 316 offerings include T-shirts, hoodies, jackets and hats. For women, options include tops, dresses, hoodies and pants. Early brand designs feature the Saint John 316 logo

and simple black, white and gray color schemes.

The company is ready to roll out a fall/winter line entitled “Army of God” that integrates camouflage into the color palette, as well as Army fatigue-style pants, jackets and pullover tees. Accessories include cadet hats and urban camo ski hats. The fall/winter line also will include updates to core brand items such as hoodies and jackets, adding thermal shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts and hooded pullover T-shirts.

Average costs are $25 per item.

According to Keith, the typical customer spends about $38 per purchase.

The genesis for Saint John 316 came in 2004 when Keith put his graphic design skills to work making T-shirts for a fundraiser. It struck him at the time that it would be pretty easy to develop an apparel line focused on simple items such

Saint John 316 continued from page 10

as T-shirts and hoodies. The reaction to the fundraiser shirts signaled that people would buy such clothing.

However, he just didn’t see a way to market the brand or have time for face-to-face sales, key components of small retail ventures, to generate any real profits. So he shelved the idea.

In the decade since — with the explosion of social media — he says things have drastically changed for business. So in 2012 he started developing a strategy to get an apparel brand up and running. Last year, Saint John 316 took the plunge, relying heavily on social media to generate interest.

“Getting out to the world is so much easier now,” Keith said. “I felt it was the perfect opportunity to jump-start the business.”

The Wares sought to expand Saint John 316’s reach by connecting with family and friends locally, but also throughout the country in places like Atlanta and Chicago.

Of course, the irony is not lost on the husband-and-wife business partners that, so far, face-to-face sales have sustained the birth of the company and are fueling its growth — the same business model that kept them from launching a fashion brand a decade ago. But both maintain that online retail sales are going to be necessary for Saint John 316’s ultimate success.

“What we need to do is use the Internet to drive more traffic. We have to get our numbers up to a higher level,” Keith said. “It is basically a numbers game between

ROXBURY CENTER FOR FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT

the ratio of people who view your products and who buy something.”

Online retails sales and vending are two of the four main components of the company’s business plan, which also includes developing a network of affiliates throughout the U.S. to sell the apparel and wholesale distribution to boutique fashion stores and outlets.

DREAM. ACHIEVE. SUCCEED.

Market potential

One thing Saint John 316 has going for it is the size of the market.

The apparel market consistently tops $200 billion in the U.S. The company cites stats that put the Christian market as a whole at $5.1 trillion, with estimated African American purchasing power at $1.1 trillion.

Of course, these numbers are way past what will keep Keith and Renee Ware happy and Saint John 316 afloat.

They say the company is expected to hit its first $100,000 in sales in the next 12 months. At that point they will really start to ramp things up. The company is run out of their Randolph home for now, but they view the business as a Boston-based brand.

Keith, who previously ran his own graphic design business called NuMedia Graphix, continues to work fulltime as a power plant mechanic, while Renee, who previously owned a South End beauty salon called Renee’s Destiny International Hair Care Systems, devotes all her time to Saint John 316.

“We have a lot of things that we are trying to get under our belt about things such as marketing and inventory control,” said Keith. “Right now this is a learning process for us.”

hair test

continued from page 1 Because hair strands can live for two to seven years, hair testing is thought to be more reliable than urine testing.

Psychemedics has long claimed the metabolites of cocaine its test detects in the hair can be used as irrefutable proof of ingestion. But numerous scientific studies over the years have found hair tests to be incapable of distinguishing between cocaine that has been ingested by a user and cocaine that has landed on human hair. Many of the cocaine metabolites that are produced when cocaine is ingested also are created in the process of manufacturing cocaine, according to a 2009 Department of Justice report.

Police officers and others who work in environments where powdered cocaine is handled are widely seen as susceptible to external contamination, although Psychemedics officials say they wash their hair samples to remove any external particles of drugs. David Kidwell, a toxicologist and research scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory, found that the company’s procedures can wash between 83 and 97 percent of external contamination, and concluded that “passive exposure can occur and generate false hair test results.”

The rising body of scientific studies challenging the validity of hair tests has had major consequences. After a four-year review of hair testing, the federal government chose, in 2008, not to adopt standards for hair testing, and noted that “significant issues have been raised by federal agencies during the review process which require further examination.”

The Massachusetts Civil Service Commission also found the scientific evidence against hair testing compelling. On Feb. 28, 2013, the Commission ruled that there was not just cause to discharge a tenured police officer solely on hair test results. The Boston Police Department appealed the decision.

On Oct. 6, 2014, Superior Court Justice Judith Fabricant upheld the Civil Service, ordering the reinstatement of Jones and five other plaintiffs with back pay from the time of termination.

Again, the Boston Police Department appealed that decision.

Laura Maslow-Armond, an attorney with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Equal Justice representing the plaintiffs, said the city is unlikely to win its latest appeal.

“These are administrative appeals,” she said. “There will be no new witnesses. No new arguments. The standard is deferential to the [Civil Service] agency.”

Youth Enrichment Day

Arguing discrimination

In the second lawsuit, which alleges that the department’s use of the hair test had a discriminatory impact on blacks, the plaintiffs argued that blacks were more likely to fall prey to false positives than whites. Between 1999 and 2006, black BPD officers tested positive at a rate of 1.3 percent while white officers tested positive at .3 percent, and presented arguments demonstrating that the test is scientifically proven to be unreliable.

The plaintiffs further argued that the texture and treatment of black hair makes it more susceptible to contamination from airborne cocaine particles in the environments were officers work.

Despite testimony from former

Commissioner Paul Evans that he noticed an increased disparity between the positive test rates for blacks and whites when the department switched from urinalysis to hair testing, a District Court judge found in 2005 that the plaintiffs had not proven case of racially disparate impact.

key questions: whether the hair test was a business necessity and whether or not the plaintiffs were able to identify a less-discriminatory alternative to the hair test.

The plaintiffs argued for urinalysis, but on August 6, U.S. District Court Judge Douglas Woodlock ruled on those questions, deciding against the plaintiffs, citing higher costs and questionable reliability of urinalysis.

A call for change

At a recent community meeting, held at the headquarters of the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers, black elected officials and civil rights activists called on the Police Department to settle the lawsuits with the fired officers, and reinstate the officers with back pay.

MAMLEO President Larry Ellison says the department’s continued use of the hair test, despite former Commissioner Paul Evans’ admission in 2002 that it has discriminatory impact against blacks, fits into a wider pattern of discrimination.

“It’s across the board,” he said.

With anything that adversely affects officers of color, the department has the tendency to go with it. There’s a long history of racism

in the department.”

The mayor’s press office did not respond to a query about the lawsuit challenging hair testing. On the case alleging discriminatory impact, spokeswoman Bonnie McGilpin issued a brief statement via email: “Last week, the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the City of Boston regarding hair follicle drug testing for Boston Police officers, and upheld the termination of two of its former officers. The City is pleased with the outcome of the case, and believes that this is in the best interest of public safety.”

Long wait for justice

Since Jones was terminated, he was unable to find work in Boston and moved back to his native Alabama, where he was able to live with family members. The fact that he was fired from the police department for alleged cocaine use barred him from many jobs.

Now a truck driver, and a minister at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, Jones says he earns about one-third the pay he made as an officer.

He says he would like for the city to settle the case.

“I would like to see the mayor do the right thing for the city of Boston,” he said.

Q&A

Actor Jessie T. Usher proud of his role on ‘Survivor’s Remorse’

‘Moon for the Misbegotten’

A

By SUSAN SACCOCCIA

udra McDonald radiates vitality, whether she is holding an audience rapt at an evening-length Symphony Hall concert or performing in musicals, plays, operas, film and television. These roles include Bess in American Repertory Theater’s “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess,” which debuted here and then moved to Broadway in 2012, earning McDonald one of her record-breaking six Tony Awards.

So it is no surprise that the catharsis is genuine in the encounter between McDonald’s Josie Hogan, daughter of a tenant farmer, and the tragic James Tyrone, Jr., her alcoholic landlord, in the revival of Eugene O’Neill’s “Moon for the Misbegotten” at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, MA through Aug. 23.

The dissolute Tyrone, a stand-in for O’Neill’s brother

Jamie, whose alcoholism killed him, finds consolation by unburdening his anguish to Josie one night, under a full moon.

McDonald’s Josie is a force of nature in the production. It’s directed by Gordon Edelstein, who casts African Americans in the roles of the Hogan family, poor but spiritually strong tenant farmers that O’Neill envisioned as Irish immigrants.

A painful family life gave

O’Neill raw material for some of his greatest plays, including “Long Day’s Journey into Night.” The 1941 play portrays the haunted Tyrone family — the patriarch, an aging actor who squandered his gifts on melodramas; a morphine-addicted mother; and Jamie, who with his younger brother Edmund, shares an appetite for alcohol and prostitutes. Two years later, O’Neill wrote “Moon for the Misbegotten,” a kind of elegy in which Jamie finds the forgiveness and peace that eluded him in life.

Complex portraits

Carried mainly by three characters — Josie, her father Phil Hogan, and Tyrone — over two and a half hours, the play is strenuous to perform, and, at times, strenuous to watch. O’Neill’s characters build in layers of deceit and constantly waiver between pretense and sincerity. And the self-loathing, tortured Tyrone does not seem like a credible

match for the robust Josie.

Yet the play is a romance of a sort. Under a full moon, Josie and Tyrone undergo a long night’s journey into day and bring light into darkness. And O’Neill leavens the play’s wrenching scenes with humor as well as a sublime finale. This production’s fine cast and first-rate staging mine all these strengths.

Grounding the naturalistic set by Ming Cho Lee and Lee Savage is an earth-toned cottage with a porch stoop and handcranked water pump flanked by a sparsely-leafed tree. The cottage juts at an angle to allow a view of the horizon and the various arrivals and departures that move the story forward. Jane Greenwood’s costumes are true to the characters, from Josie’s plain, workaday dress to Tyrone’s urbane but rumpled suit and Phil’s straw hat and vest.

2014 was a game-changer for actor Jessie T. Usher. Early in the year, he had a supporting role as high school football player Tayshon Lanear opposite Jim Caviezel in the film “When the Game Stands Tall” and by October he was starring in the Starz-scripted, LeBron James executive-produced dramedy “Survivor’s Remorse.”

Usher plays Cam Calloway, a basketball phenom from Dorchester, Mass., who is suddenly thrust into the limelight when he signs a multimillion dollar contract with an NBA team based in Atlanta.

Along with his cousin, confidant and mentor, Reggie Vaughn (RonReaco Lee), Calloway moves his mother Cassie (Tichina Arnold), his sister Mary Charles a.k.a.

‘M-Chuck’ (Erica Ash) and Uncle Julius (Mike Epps) out of the projects and into a hi-rise condo with him in Atlanta to begin their new life together.

But the transition from living in the projects to a life of new found wealth isn’t easy for Cam or his family. Season one finds Cam and Reggie having to confront the challenges of supporting his family, as well as contend with the notoriety and responsibility of being a high-profile athlete.

Jessie T. Usher, who is slated to star in “Independence Day 2”, spoke to the Banner about his role as Cam, the chemistry on set and what season two holds for the Calloway family.

What was it about the role of Cam that interested you?

JU: Actually, it was a few things. One, the character that they had already developed before anybody had started to audition for it was good. It was a solid character to play. A character like Cam is a good one to portray because you know there’ll always be a good message at the end of the day. It’s something you’ll be proud of, a character I would want to talk

continued from page 13 about. You don’t really want to do a role that you feel embarrassed about. Cam’s one of those guys that was going to be an allaround good experience for me.

And of top of that, the team that they had behind the project is incredible — from the producers to the writers — everybody was good. So, I was like, ‘Okay, this is going to be a good one to work on.’ Actually, it wasn’t until after I got the role that I found out who some of the other producers were and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s even

The chemistry between the cast seems very real and genuine. Was it easy for everyone to come together on this new project?

JU: As far as chemistry, things were locking into place early on.

We were all looking forward to working on this project. We knew it was going to be fun. Everybody had their guard down and we were able to just come together and trust each other. Guys like me and Erica [Ash] and Teyonah [Parris] were looking forward to working with Tichina [Arnold] and Mike Epps. We were all sort

of feeling mutual energy and it just worked out that way that nobody was a diva or anything like that. We were all excited to work on the project. We were all open to suggestions and to helping each other.

Can you give us a hint of what season two has in store for Cam and his family?

JU: The second season takes place during an actual basketball season. So now, you’re not hearing so much about, ‘Oh, we’ve got this money, what are we going to do with it?’ It’s more so that Cam is just trying to stay focused.

He’s worried about being a great

basketball player. He’s made a name for himself and the pressure is really on. He has a lot more to deal with in terms of practices, interviews, press conferences, appearances, all that kind of stuff.

He’s having to balance a lot more than what he had anticipated originally. He knew he was going to have to play basketball but now there’s a ton of other things about being a professional athlete that he completely forgot about. And the family as well; everybody has kind of figured out who they are and where they fit. But now, it’s like okay, ‘So what happens when we’re away from each other because we’re not always together?’

We’re a very tight family and sure, we all live in close proximity, but Cam goes off to play his game or he goes off to practice. What do they do? That’s a question we definitely answer this season.

I read that you’re starring in “Independence Day 2” next year.

You must be so excited. It’s such an iconic movie.

JU: Excited isn’t even the word. I’m extremely humbled by it. I’ve been welcomed into this huge machine that’s already going — and it’s been going for 20 years — and now they want to do a part two, and I’m just lucky to be a part of it.

Moon

continued from page 13 lighting guides the eye to atmospheric details, including Josie’s ladylike bedroom and vintage kitchen, and kindles actors’ faces, heightening intimate moments.

Within minutes of the first act, McDonald’s no-nonsense, industrious Josie dispatches her kid brother Mike (Howard W. Overshown) to a new life beyond the farm and his bullying father. In his brief role, Mike serves to provide a back story for Josie and Phil. He describes their father as a conniving cheat and his sister as “the scandal of the neighborhood” for her reputation as a slut. Mike tells Josie that she, too, should leave the old fox behind, and marry a decent man. Giving Mike cash she’d plucked from the old man’s purse, Josie reminds him that she holds her own with her father, as their late mother did, and dismisses town gossip, saying, “I do my work and I earn my keep and I’ve a right to be free.”

As Phil Hogan, whom Jessie calls an “old hornet,” Glynn Turman at first veers toward caricature in his rendering of a folksy rogue. But as he pursues his knotty schemes and switches between sincerity and trickery, Turman’s Phil brings an indispensible sense

Advertise in the Banner

of fun to his role as a salty trickster and sparks true chemistry with McDonald’s Josie in their combative but loving father-daughter duo.

Emotional release

Watching a hung-over Tyrone approach the farm, Josie describes him as “a dead man walking slow behind his own coffin.”

Lurching rather than striding and struggling to light a cigarette, Tyrone enters the yard, a dapper but disheveled figure played by handsome Tony nominee Will Swenson, McDonald’s husband.

He spouts Latin, mocks his Jesuit education and settles into banter with Phil, whom he regards as his only friend. Nudged by Tyrone about his unpaid back rent, Phil points out his bumper crop of milkweed and poison ivy. Tyrone has promised to sell the farm to Phil for a low price once he receives his mother’s estate, money that will enable him to return to the saloons and brothels of Broadway. After sharing a drink with Phil, Tyrone warns him that a wealthy neighbor is on his way to complain that Phil’s pigs are soiling his pond.

T. Stedman Harder, a pompous toff played by Aaron Costa Ganis, arrives outfitted for a horseback hunt, from jockey cap to jodhpurs.

Greenwood’s costume adds to the humor of the scene, making

Harder resemble a lawn jockey figurine. The Hogans toss Harder’s cap like a softball as they insult him, ignoring his demand that they confine the hogs to the farm.

Late, Tyrone amuses himself by pretending to accept Harder’s bid to buy the useless farm, just to evict the Hogans. Phil lures Josie into a scheme to stop the sale by seducing Tyrone.

As Tyrone and Josie meet for a moonlit rendezvous on the porch stoop, the scheme unravels and they confess to each other their true feelings. McDonald’s Josie is both powerful and vulnerable in her tug of war with Swenson’s Tyrone. She doesn’t let him retreat as he alternates between exploding with rage at himself and feigning cynicism. Another actress might play Josie as self-sacrificing and heroic, but McDonald shows Josie’s fulfillment as she lets her loving nature come forward. Yet the grueling, high-pitched struggle between the two is almost frantic at times.

As Josie and Tyrone part at daybreak, their peace is palpable.

In their final, unforced moments together, they are equals, unburdened by strain and pretence.

McDonald’s Josie radiates joy as she pronounces the play’s last words, a benediction to the departed Tyrone, “May you rest forever in forgiveness and peace.”

Italian polenta with tomato sauce is a versatile dinner option

BY THE EDITORS OF RELISH MAGAZINE

W

hen tomatoes are at their peak, make a delicious garden tomato sauce to serve over pasta or polenta (stone-ground cornmeal). Polenta is super-easy to prepare: just bring water and milk to a boil, stir in the cornmeal and whisk like mad, whirling the grains around in the hot liquid until the whole thing thickens and becomes creamy.

The sauce works best with peeled tomatoes. Here’s an easy method: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. With a sharp knife, slice off stem ends of tomatoes and carve an “X” in opposite ends. One at a time, gently place them into boiling water.

Prepare a large bowl of ice water. After a minute or so, you will see the skin around the “X” begin to curl. With a ladle, transfer tomatoes to ice water to stop the cooking.

When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them while working over a bowl to catch any juices. Place peeled tomatoes in the bowl and chop coarsely.

Creamy polenta with garden tomato sauce Garden tomato sauce ingredients: n 2 tablespoons olive oil n 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced, about ½ cup n 1 small celery stalk, trimmed and diced, about ½ cup n 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped n 2 large garlic cloves, diced n 1 8 plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped teaspoon dried oregano n½ n½ teaspoon salt n 4 to 8 pre-cooked Italian-style chicken sausage, cut into chunks (optional) n¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Creamy polenta ingredients: n 2 cups reduced-fat milk n 2 cups water

n¾ teaspoon salt n 1 ½ cups stoneground cornmeal n 2 tablespoons butter Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, onion and garlic; cook, stirring, 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and any juice from the bowl.

Mash lightly with a wooden spoon. Add oregano and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes, until tomatoes have cooked down and formed a chunky sauce. Add sausage and stir to combine. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, until sausage is heated through. Add cheese and stir well. Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to serve.

To make polenta, combine milk and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Gradually add cornmeal, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add butter. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring almost constantly, 25 to 30 minutes, until polenta is thick. Serve topped with warm sauce and chunks of sausage. Serves 4.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Fun, fresh toast toppers to love Avocado might be in the spotlight, but it’s not the only produce topping you can pile on toast.

From sweet corn to juicy red tomatoes, these toast toppers will liven up your apps, starters and snacks.

Grill sweet corn. Swap out traditional bruschetta for a zesty and colorful pico de gallo featuring grilled sweet corn and jalapeno.

Roast beets. Switch up basic hummus by swapping chickpeas for creamy white beans and adding sweet roasted beets, tahini, cumin and garlic.

Pair with broccoli rabe: Top grilled ciabatta with a mixture of broccoli rabe, fresh fennel, creamy ricotta and shaved parmesan for the perfect appetizer. Grill the broccoli and fennel to increase their umami notes and intensify the savory flavor.

Transform your tomatoes. Pair tomatoes and roasted bell peppers with paprika, cumin, garlic and red pepper for a richly seasoned spread for toasted pita. Serve with marinated olives for an extra pop of flavor.

AUTO REVIEW

2015 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Hardtop

By SÉKOU WRITES SIMPLYRIDES.COM Summers were made for road trips. If you’d like to try a weekend journey a bit off the beaten path, you might consider a drive to Lime Rock Park, an iconic 1.5mile racetrack located in Connecticut’s Litchfield County.

We test drove the 2015 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Hardtop to Lime Rock Park to watch a car race — fitting since Mini Cooper was first created as a racing vehicle in 1946. Here are a few of the features we noticed during our trip. FYI, the “John Cooper Works” designation on any Mini Cooper represents speed. Named after John Cooper, the co-founder of Mini Cooper who was also a racecar driver, any “John Cooper Works” Mini Cooper can move. Fast.

Of course, you already know that the Mini is a small car but those of you who haven’t driven one may be surprised to learn that this tiny car is anything but fragile. Mini is part of the BMW Group, so factor in the notorious German attention to detail when thinking about how sturdy the Mini is. Not only is it solid, it also has a low center

www.baystatebanner.com

of gravity making it virtually immune to strong winds that can push other cars around.

Speaking of being low to the ground, unfortunately the Mini registers every, single bump on the road.

On smooth roads the mini zipped along nicely, but its low suspension was painful on rougher surfaces. There is an option to switch from “green” to “normal” to “sport” mode, but none of these settings help buffer the bumpiness.

This Mini also offers start/ stop technology. The engine turns itself off when the car comes to complete stop which, in theory, should render a better than normal miles per gallon.

Once seldom seen, the Heads Up Display (HUD) is now showing up in more vehicles. You can’t beat the convenience of having pertinent information displayed in your line of sight. The Mini’s HUD is extra fun because the info is projected onto a tiny screen that pops out of the dashboard behind the steering wheel.

Also unique is the huge, circular command hub in the middle of the dashboard. This display hub is ringed with lights that

2015 MINI COOPER JOHN COOPER WORKS HARDTOP Miles per gallon: 28 combined

city and highway (manual transmission) Top speed, 153 miles per hour Starts at $30.6K

change color and intensity based on your activity. For example, a few blocks before your next navigation turn, the lights will turn white and gradually tick down as you get closer to your turn.

In terms of storage space, not only does the Mini have a second secret glove box in the dashboard, it also has high tech storage, like an internal hard drive that stores your favorite songs and voice memos that you can record while driving. There’s also plenty of legroom in the front but I wouldn’t want to sit in the backseat for long.

Buyable ranking: 7. All in all, the Mini Cooper wins for originality and fun factor but if you’re planning to do lots of city driving, you should expect a bumpy ride.

Q&A

Dominican Festival parade

BPCAT

Here is my thing: most major cities are doing this. The President of the United States, who has already formed a commission to study this — which is why I’m not sure why the mayor wants to form a commission to study this … Evidence is already there to show what benefits body cameras have.

I have not seen anything that shows the negative effect of body cameras and if the only negative is cost, I think that’s a bogus argument because the money is there. And at the end of the day, we’re paying so much in settlements [of police misconduct lawsuits] that I just don’t understand why we just wouldn’t go for this. If I’m repairing my house I’m not going to forgo using a hammer because I have a screwdriver and a wrench. I’m going to use all the tools available to me to do the best job that I can do and do it as quickly as possible.

We believe it [the pilot program] should be on drug and gang units and other patrol officers in every community in the city … They would also be leading the country in having the largest study on this to see what effects this really has in a major city, on the nation. We could do that or we could continue to play politics and bow down to the unions that the mayor needs to keep in control to get elected and let them dictate what we should do. But we’re not for that.

‘Aim to Reclaim’ event offers sampling of library’s value to Chinatown

By JULE PATTISON-GORDON On the plaza outside the Chinatown gate on Monday, the Chinese Youth Initiative of the Chinese Progress Association hosted children’s story times and offered books to borrow, giving passersby

a taste of what a library could offer.

The event, called “AIM TO RECLAIM: The Chinatown Library Campaign,” is the latest step in the decades-long battle to return a public library branch to the neighborhood.

In 1956, the city demolished Chinatown’s public library branch

to make room for constructing the Central Artery. Chinatown remains the only Boston neighborhood without a library, forcing residents to trek to the Copley branch or do without.

“People can’t always pay for a T pass to go there [Copley],” said Sabrina Ng, who will be a senior

at Newton North and helped run the event. Ng is a youth intern with the CPA. During Monday’s display, CYI members manned a booth with handouts and bookmarks held storytelling on a blanket, and set out a shelf of books that attendees could browse and read. At a designated kids table, CYI members gave children activity books created especially for the event; the books told the story behind the library’s loss.

Filling a gap

Over the years, Chinatown has made several unsuccessful attempts to establish a library. In 2009-2010, Archstone real estate company donated a vacant storefront to then-Chinatown residents Leslie and Sam Davol for use as a temporary library. The place became known as the Chinatown Storefront Library and housed 5,000 book donated books. In 2012, the Chinatown Cultural Center Committee created the Chinatown Lantern Cultural and Education Center inside the Oak Terrace apartment complex. The Center offers 8,000 books and magazines.

Having seen the popularity of temporary libraries like these, Kim Situ, a Youth Coordinator with the CPA, said she is convinced that many people would use a permanent one.

The Chinatown Lantern Cultural and Education Center is still running, but Ng explained that its limited size in terms of both books and space and its early closing hours made it “not an ideal real library for us.”

“I think it’s mostly for residents who live there in Oak Terrace,” she added.

What would constitute an ideal library? The CYI conducted a series of focus groups to determine that. During the past year, they asked a group of their own youths, youths from Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, parents, and two groups of elderly members about their visions for a Chinatown library branch. Findings were presented at a June meeting attended by several city officials.

Parents and elderly focus group members expressed particular interest in bilingual computer classes and cultural activities. Youths highlighted the value of a library in providing job and college search resources. Other activities and potential library rooms that drew interest were adult ESL classes, a children’s room, homework help, a Chinese cultural/historical area, and a computer lounge.

“In particular in a neighborhood as dense as Chinatown is, and with limited community and green space, public space, a library is more than a space to get books,” said Situ.

Public space also is scarce.

Places like the plaza where the event was held become unusable in the winter, and though bakeries and cafes offer potential

meeting spots, Situ said there are few locations in the neighborhood where people can have quiet time or gather without having to buy something.

The chief obstacles facing the Chinatown library proposal: funding and a location.

For the past several years, the Boston Public Library, the city, and the CPA have been in discussion. A feasibility study for a library branch was conducted in 2007. This year, the groups have explored solving the limited space problem by locating the library in a “mixed-use” facility. “Mixed-use” means designating a library area within a building that is used for other purposes, such as housing or offices.

Stable funding

Among the locations being considered, Situ says the China Trade Center building “is the most ideal right now” because of the accessibility to the nearby Chinatown train stop and its proximity to areas like the theater district as well as “multiple neighborhoods and communities.”

The Aim to Reclaim event distributed petition letters addressed to Brian Golden, director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority, that attendees could sign and mail.

The letters acknowledged the scarcity of public land and asked that Golden develop the China Trade Center “for community priorities to stabilize Chinatown’s future.”

The groups aim to make the library part of the existing, cityfunded BPL system. In past years, such plans for Chinatown were stalled as the BPL faced reduced funding and considered closing branches.

“Funding was just hard to find for libraries,” said Situ.

The hope is that circumstances have now sufficiently changed.

“The mayor promised in 2013 that this [the library] would be a priority for Chinatown,” Situ noted, “So we really hope to see this.” Ng said that during his campaign in 2013, Mayor Walsh had signed a petition board and promised to work to get a library within the 2015 fiscal year.

Chinatown currently is undergoing many changes as luxury buildings are being developed and many families are finding they need to move out of the neighborhood, said Situ. Creating the library would “show [the city] really cares about Chinatown and investing in Chinatown.” She added that a multigenerational resource like the library would “be an anchor for the community.”

Situ said she would like to have a follow-up feasibility study on the China Trade Center as the library location. Monday’s goal, though, was to use the temporary library to emphasize what such a resource could offer the community.

The CYI members debriefed on Tuesday and held a longer temporary library day Wednesday, from 10:30am-3:30pm.
