"a “ground-breaking” approach to treating non-violent prisoners with addiction"



"Several SAFE Coalition members toured the Essex County Correctional Facility with prison officials, Wrentham District Court probation officials, and officials from Norfolk County Sheriff’s office. Sheriff Frank Cousins began the tour with a presentation on his 42 bed detox facility which opened on December 7, 2015. 
We saw firsthand the innovative approach the sheriff is using to combat substance abuse disorder with pretrial detainees. The unit provides a positive environment for detoxification and long-term planning and provides a 28-day comprehensive treatment program to pretrial detainees to effectively address their addiction. 
Detainees wear a blue uniform, not the prisoner’s typical orange jumpsuit. The correction officers are dressed in khakis and polo shirts instead of the standard prison guard uniforms. And those residing in the unit attend five counseling sessions per day, as well as one-on-one meetings with a counselor."

"pushing the boundaries of autonomous flight"



"When you hear the word "drone," you probably think of something either very useful or very scary. But could they have aesthetic value? Autonomous systems expert Raffaello D'Andrea develops flying machines, and his latest projects are pushing the boundaries of autonomous flight — from a flying wing that can hover and recover from disturbance to an eight-propeller craft that's ambivalent to orientation ... to a swarm of tiny coordinated micro-quadcopters. Prepare to be dazzled by a dreamy, swirling array of flying machines as they dance like fireflies above the TED stage."

O'Donnell handed over such clothing items as men's suits; dress pants; collared shirts; women's suits, women's dress pants and blouses.

Rick Doane, Executive Director of Interfaith Social Services said, "This clothing, received from drives such as the Registry's Suits for Success program, is critical to helping South Shore residents in need get back on their feet. We are most appreciative of everyone who contributed."

Suits for Success is a program designed to help men and women reach economic independence and personal self-fulfillment. "The Registry is proud to partner with Interfaith Social Services on behalf of this worthwhile program," noted O'Donnell.

Pond St sold, lots of voting action, not all unanimous

The Town Council meeting on Wednesday, March 23 accomplished a number of items. All councilors were active for this meeting with Mercer participating via phone (which required all votes to be roll call). 

Pond St


  • After several tries over many years, the Pond St property was finally approved for sale. The developer can build up to condominium 99 units, 60 x 2 bedroom and 30 x 3 bedroom. This was part of the contention on the vote that resulted in 6-3 for. At least one councilor was against the sale period, the other two seemed to be more concerned about the mix of units looking for less 3 bedroom units which should bring in less children. Pfeffer, Jones and Mercer voted 'no'.



Intermunicipal Support Agreement


  • The Town Council approved setting up this agreement with the neighboring communities. This will further enable collaborative actions by the local police force when something occurs and the incident begins to cross the town boundaries. 



Zoning bylaw changes


  • Two bylaws were approved at their second reading. One to enforce the snow storm parking restrictions on public lots. One to enable the DPW to gain access to a residence to change the water meters.
  • The first reading on the bylaw to enforce alcohol training for all those who serve was also the subject of a contentious vote. The measure as discussed in the prior meeting was to have an effective date of 9/1/16 to allow for sufficient time to implement this without posing too much of a burden upon the establishments. Jones moved to amend to change the date to July 1. It was voted down 2-7. The bylaw was moved to second reading on a 9-0 vote.
  • One bylaw was referred to the Planning Board for their action before it could come back to the Council for a public hearing, two readings, and a final vote. This was to rezone some parcels along West Central St to residential. This was moved on a 8-0 vote (Bissanti abstaining).
  • Other recent bylaw changes also resulted in some relatively quick action to bring forward a proposal. No mention was made in this case as to who stands to benefit. It was not worthy that Councilor Bissanti recused himself from the discussion for this item.


Library temporary location announced


The other interesting update occurred during the Town Administrator's update when it was announced that the temporary location for the Library would be 25 Kenwood Circle. An agreement to obtain the space was to be signed on Thursday. The Library would close on Apr 8th to begin the move of the circulation items, books, etc. The Library would re-open in May and operate from this location until the construction/renovations completed some time in 2017.

Ben Franklin will still read outside the Library, but everyone else will need to get their books at a new location beginning in May, 2016 as the renovations close this building

NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing - Lauren Albee


Tri-County Regional senior Lauren Albee was recently named a 2016 Runner-Up for the National Center for Women and Information Technology Aspirations in Computing Award.

Albee, a Computer Information Systems student from Medway, received several prizes, including a laptop, a glass trophy, and a certificate of recognition. She was also awarded a $10,000 scholarship to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a $20,000 scholarship to the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing honors young women for their computing-related achievements and interests. Recipients are chosen for their technological aspirations, leadership ability, academic history, and plans for post-secondary education.

Lauren says she was encouraged to apply for the award by her teacher, Kim Zogalis. Organizers took particular interest in Lauren's involvement with the school's First Robotics team. Lauren has been a member of Team 3236 for three years.

In addition to First Robotics, Lauren was captain of the Varsity Soccer team during her senior year, a member of the Student Council, and a student representative for Tri-County's Administration Council.

"All of us at TC are very proud of Lauren,” said Tri-County Principal Michael J. Procaccini. “She is one of our CIS leaders and has put together a long list of accomplishments this year. CIS is an exceptional program and Lauren is an exceptional young woman.”

Lauren plans to attend Johnson and Wales University in North Miami where she will major in Criminal Justice and continue her studies in the Information Technology field. She believes her background in technology will be valuable in her collegiate studies and her career due to the prevalence of Cybercrime.

Which poets were the heartbeat and the spirit of contemporary America in the decades of Dean Academy, Dean Junior College and Dean College? In conjunction with the 150th anniversary of Dean College, a course was developed this Spring to celebrate 150 years of American poetry, studying one poet in each decade from 1865-2015. From the traditional American poets including Longfellow, Dickinson and Whitman, through the journey of the modernists including Carl Sandburg, Langston Hughes and Robert Frost, to the souls of contemporary poets Alan Ginsberg, Robert Bly, Jane Kenyon and others, students were immersed in the voices of American poets and their lives. The lecture will feature a multi-media presentation on the poets and poetry in the course, and an historical backdrop on and off the Dean campus.
