FW: BBU Announce: Fwd: NEBG: Great Show This Evening Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands and Della Mae
by Ruth Ryals 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

For any bluegrass aficionados out there. This should be a great show. The BBU (Boston Bluegrass Union) is a great organization, with regular picking parties, training and scholarships for kids, and top flight artists at regular shows in a great hall in Lexington. (Rounder Records is of course a big supporter). NEBG is New England Bluegrass, and yes, there is a lot of it here! Ruth From: bbuannounce-bounces(a)bbu.org [mailto:bbuannounce-bounces@bbu.org] On Behalf Of Katz, Gerry Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2011 11:06 AM To: BBU Announce Subject: BBU Announce: Fwd: NEBG: Great Show This Evening Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands and Della Mae Forwarding this from Ken Irwin . Tickets remain and will go on sale beginning at 6:30 PM. Gerry Begin forwarded message: From: Ken Irwin <KIrwin(a)rounder.com> Date: November 19, 2011 10:18:08 AM EST To: "NEBG (nebg(a)bbu.org)" <nebg(a)bbu.org> Subject: NEBG: Great Show This Evening Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands and Della Mae This is such a great pairing. Laurie Lewis has been one of our best singers, writers, fiddlers, and performers for years now as well as one of our classiest artists. Della Mae is one of our area's newer acts, as well as being one of the most exciting. This year at IBMA's World of Bluegrass, Della Mae was the most talked about band, the first time that has been the case for a New England Band. Laurie was one of a small number of ground breaking women to make inroads into what had been a male dominated field. Della Mae is the strongest all women band bluegrass has yet seen. We don't get to see Laurie often enough due to her being based on the west coast and somewhat reduced touring schedule. For those who haven't seen Della Mae since last year's Joe Val Festival, you're in for a real treat. The band has grown, and continues to grow, at a rapid rate. Lead singer Celia Woodsmith has become comfortable with her position and the band and has become one of bluegrass' strongest and most unique vocalists and her songs, many of which she had written when in other bands, have been reworked and fit seamlessly with the Della Mae sound, helping to bring the blues back into bluegrass. Lead guitar player Courtney Hartman has added additional excitement to an already exciting instrumental lineup as well as wonderful harmonies to the band. I didn't mean to minimize the contributions of the other Della Mae members, Jeni Lyn Gardner, Kimber Ludiker and Amanda Kowalski who are also great, but most of us have been seeing them in the earlier version of Della Mae or with other bands in the past. This ranks along with the Gibson Brothers/Spinney Brothers show of last year, as one of the most inspired bookings the BBU has done. Thanks to all involved...... Hope to see you all there.....it should be a great show. _______________________________________________ Nebg mailing list - Nebg(a)bbu.org To Unsubscribe or change your mail options please visit: http://bbu.org/mailman/listinfo/nebg_bbu.org

Over the past two months, Somerville Police, working together with Cambridge, Medford, Transit and Tufts University Police and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force, have arrested Alfredo Romero Posada after a two month long investigation of area assaults on women. A special task force was formed to conduct this investigation since mid-September. The Task Force utilized surveillance teams, Decoy Officers and Saturated Patrols in the Davis Square and Porter Square neighborhoods. Posada was observed in the Davis Square area on October 29th by officers assigned to this task force. Surveillance officers were able to stop and identify him as a potential suspect as he was approaching a woman walking alone. As a result of that intervention, and the follow-up investigation, Posada was ordered by the Middlesex Grand Jury to appear in a line-up at Somerville Police Headquarters tonight. Posada was identified by the victims of two Somerville incidents and one Medford incident. He will be charged with three counts of assault with intent to rape and three counts of indecent assault and battery. Posada was identified as the assailant in a September 10th incident on Wallace Street and a September 24th incident on College Avenue. He will also be charged in connection with an October 22nd incident on College Avenue in Medford. Chief Thomas Pasquarello expressed his gratitude to all of the investigators and the Middlesex District Attorney's Office who worked long hours over the past two months to identify and apprehend this suspect. "We are grateful for the courage and cooperation of each victim and the support that we have received from the community and our law enforcement partners" said Chief Pasquarello. Posada will be arraigned tomorrow in Somerville District Court. No photo will be released at this time. # # # <http://www.elabs5.com/c.html?rtr=on&s=jaysy,c0vx,1d8,k6we,ldyn,1wyv,4d4d> Image removed by sender.

FW: [PSNA] Cherry Street Area Safety Alert
by Ruth Ryals 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

From: psna-bounces(a)lists.portersquare.net [mailto:psna-bounces@lists.portersquare.net] On Behalf Of Michael Brandon Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 3:53 PM To: psna(a)portersquare.net Subject: [PSNA] Cherry Street Area Safety Alert <http://www.blackboardconnected.com/images/InstitutionLogos/logo_143586.gif> This is Deputy Chief Paul Upton of the Somerville Police with an important public safety message for residents in your area. At about 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 17th, a 22 year old woman was assaulted on Highland Avenue near Cherry Street as she walked from Porter Square. The victim reported that she was grabbed from behind: she screamed and resisted, apparently scaring off the suspect, who then fled on foot along Highland Avenue toward Davis Square. This incident is similar to others that have occurred in this area. Police have increased patrols of both marked and unmarked cars in this area and have mounted an interagency effort to identify and apprehend this suspect. The suspect, who was wearing a knit ski mask, is believed to be a male, possibly with a muscular build, about 5' 5" to 5' 8" inches tall, wearing all dark clothing. Anyone who has information about this incident is urged to contact Somerville Police at 617-625-1212, or text SPD617 to Tip411. As always, all residents, especially women, should remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings when walking after dark. For your safety, try to remain on well-lit routes and avoid wearing headphones or ear buds. Keep your cell phone handy but avoid distracting calls. If you suspect you are being followed, head for a store or building that you know to be open. If you feel uncomfortable about someone near you, head for a populated area and call 911 immediately. Thank you.

He left home before daylight yesterday morning on his bike, with a sleeping bag and his violin. He has a history of depression. He posted some entries on an online art community suggesting this would his last posting "for a few months, at least" and included a poem about needing to break away. Needless to say we are beside ourselves with worry. The Somerville Police are working with us, but in an effort to cast as wide a net as possible, we are sending the attached poster to our friends. If you have ideas for forwarding it, posting it, or people or organizations we should contact, please let us know. Today we will be posting flyers around some of the parks and wooded areas in Lexington/Bedford that are accessible from the Minuteman Bike Trail, where Elliot loves to go. See below for other info on some of the paths we are hoping to cover today. Thank you in advance for your prayers and any help.

Jim Smith of Cambridge Terrace called to tell me he had called the police to 2 suspicious folks in his driveway, one with a flashlight. It happened about 6 pm tonight. Of course, by the time the police came they were gone. He wanted me to pass it on, as a heads up. Keep an eye out for your own and your neighbor's houses! Thanks Jim. Ruth Ruth A.

The last programme in the series looks at the man-made threat to the environment and examines how Earth's ice caps are changing and the likely consequences for the rest of the planet. But US audiences will not be shown the final episode, where many fear a show that promotes the theory of global warming could upset viewers. The package of six episodes has been sold to 30 countries and networks were provided with the option to buy a seventh 'optional extra' episode, along with behind-the-scenes footage. The documentary series is said to be an epic portrait of two disappearing wildernesses the Arctic and the Antarctic - before they change forever, and is already hugely popular with viewers in the UK. However, according to the BBC, ten countries have chosen not to screen the final episode. In the US, Frozen Planet is being aired by Discovery, which was jointly involved in the production of the series. The seven programmes cost £15 million to produce and took four years to film and edit. It is understood the Frozen Planet DVD will be sold overseas, including the US, containing all seven episodes as broadcast in the UK. Ben Stewart of Greenpeace today said: "It's regrettable that millions of viewers in the US won't be getting the full story when they watch this mesmerising series. It's like pressing the stop button on Titanic just when the iceberg appears.
