Rosencrantz

The fun keeps on rolling at
Charlestown Working Theater.
Join the CWT Advanced Ensemble
for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
Are Dead and 15-minute Hamlet
this month for these non-stop,
hilarity filled performances.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
Are Dead, is an absurdist, existentialist tragicomedy by Tom
Stoppard, first staged at the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1966.
The play expands upon the exploits
of two minor characters from
Shakespeare's Hamlet, the courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
The action of Stoppard's play
takes place mainly "in the wings"
of Shakespeare's play, with brief
appearances of major characters
from Hamlet who enact fragments
of the original's scenes. Between
these episodes the two protagonists voice their confusion at the
progress of events of which —
occurring onstage without them
in Hamlet — they have no direct
knowledge.
The company will present
15-Minute Hamlet as a prologue
to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
The play, an excerpt from Dogg's
Hamlet, condenses the original
Hamlet, including all the bestknown scenes, into approximately
13 minutes of on-stage action. This
is followed by another even more
drastically reduced performance of
the play from beginning to end.

Charlestown residents send
fruit baskets to Steve Wynn
By Seth Daniel
Black
Black
Steve Wynn asked for a fruit basket.
Charlestown gave him five.
In a side note to Wynn’s appearance in
Boston two weeks ago – a whirlwind visit
that marked his first time here since winning the casino license – Wynn comically
gagged to the audience at the South Boston
Convention Center that, for all his efforts
to develop a world-class property here, at
least the Mayor of Boston could have sent
him a fruit basket instead of a lawsuit.
The comments came during his keynote
speech at the Collier’s International New
England Real Estate Trends Conference at
the South Boston Convention Center on
Jan. 15.
This week, Wynn Everett officials confirmed that at least five Charlestown folks
actually did send Wynn a fruit basket –
adding a little more humor to an already
humorous situation.
It was also a sign, some suggested, that a
good many in the Charlestown community
might be interested in moving past the fight
against the casino and trying to work proactively, though cautiously, with Wynn and
the Massachusetts Gaming Commission
(MGC).
While four of those folks from
Charlestown did not wish to speak publicly
about the fruit baskets, Mike Charbonnier
of Charlestown Against Drugs (CHAD)
did go on the record about his fruit basket
gift.
“It seems to me Charlestown has a lot of
concerns, especially along substance abuse
and we’re losing our beds in the YMCA
that were supposed to be mitigated,” said
Charbonnier. “I don’t know what Steve
Wynn can do for us, but you get more with
honey than vinegar when you approach
this thing. There are a lot of battles that
need fighting in Charlestown and I don’t
know if this is one that’s worth fighting
anymore as long as he is working to mitigate the traffic. He’s saying he’ll put money
on the table to fix it.”
Charbonnier said he read about Wynn’s
comments in the paper indicating that he
didn’t expect a parade, but it would have
been nice to get a fruit basket. In order to
show a little humor and some support from
Charlestown, Charbonnier said he thought
he would send a basket.
Charbonnier said he and others have
been fighting to get resources to address
the drug problem – among other things –
over the years and haven’t always gotten
the support they would wish for. Perhaps,
Charbonnier said, there might be value in
looking to Wynn’s resources to address
those issues.
“A handful of people in Charlestown
have been working with youth and drug
issues and higher overdose rates,” he said.
“Dan Ryan and I started that 10 years ago
and we would have important meetings
and six people would show up. They have
a casino meeting and 200 people come out
to oppose it. It’s a little disheartening for
people out there doing the grunt work.
This may be an opportunity to get something positive for Charlestown out of all
of this.”
Charbonnier isn’t alone.
A growing number of long-time
Charlestown residents are starting to publicly talk about the benefits of at least
engaging with the Wynn Resorts folks.
Andy O’Hearn, a life-long Charlestown
resident, said he has attended all of the
meetings and has come to the conclusion
that the project would be good for the
neighborhood – mostly due to environmental reasons. However, he said he also hopes
that people can begin to come together in a
unified way to begin seeing what Wynn can
do for Charlestown.
“Some of the Charlestown people who
don’t support it, maybe they don’t understand the opposition is over,” he said.
“Maybe we weren’t for it originally, but
now it’s inevitable…Maybe we should all
prepare for what’s probably inevitable, but
if you want to keep your fingers crossed
with the mayor’s lawsuit and hope to have
no casino, what have you lost by talking
with Wynn. Nothing…It’s time we start
talking about how we can make the most
of this for the neighborhood. I’m hoping
that’s where we are headed.”
O’Hearn, 52, said he weighed all of
the presentations and came away excited
that the industrial areas on the Everett and
Charlestown side of the Mystic River might
get redeveloped as Wynn anchors a potential revitalization of the area.
“I support this because of cleaning up the
land and hopefully getting the whole industrial area on the Everett and Charlestown
side developed as well,” he said. “That’s a
piece of land that I don’t think anyone else
would ever invest any money into unless
it’s Wynn. Look at the Navy Yard. When
I was a kid, it was a shipyard. It’s totally
changed. I live on the Medford Street side
and it’s not just visibly polluted, it is really
polluted. I am old enough to remember
what’s here now and what was here before.
This is an opportunity to start that development too.”

Healy to make casinos hold to their promises in Charlestown
By Seth Daniel
In her first day on the job last Thursday, new Attorney General Maura
Healy, a Charlestown resident, appeared before the MGC to say she would
make sure casinos follow through on all their commitments to residents and
the state. Healy is an outspoken opponent of expanded gaming.
oversee traffic directly, the agreement in place with the MGC for
Boston would be considered a contract and failing to follow it would
be a breach of that contract.
Healy said she wouldn’t hesitate
to make sure all commitments by
casinos are kept, and if they aren’t,
she would be willing to hold their
feet to the fire.
“Our office is committed to
using its full civil and criminal
authority to ensure that the gam-
ing industry is held to the many
financial and legal commitments
it has made to our state, host and
neighboring communities – and
the people of Massachusetts,” she
said.
Healy also voiced concern about
ATM machines in casino and regulations that were being considered
right now by the MGC.
While there is some question in
the law as to whether ATMs are
allowed in casinos, Healy said if
Unknown millions are available
by MGC to area cities and towns
By Seth Daniel
To date, casino money for
local communities has centered
on the lucrative host community agreements and surrounding
community agreements, but a
whole new pot of money is set
to become available for the first
time on Monday, Feb. 2, when
grant applications for the state
Community Mitigation Fund
(CMF) are due.
It is the inaugural deadline
for what is expected to be a very
lucrative annual grant process
open to many communities in
the area and consisting of several multi-million dollar pots of
money. However, as of this week
and due to Boston’s lawsuit, it is
uncertain if the City will tap into
the grant funding.
The new pot of money – one
of several pots of money that will
be fully available once the Wynn
Everett casino and other casinos
are up and running – comes via
fees paid to the Massachusetts
Gaming Commission (MGC)
through licensing fees and taxes.
Per the state’s Expanded Gaming
Law, large chunks of those fees
are set aside for Community
Mitigation, the state Cultural
Council, the state Tourism Fund,
Gaming Local Aid Fund, Capital
Projects Fund, an Education Fund,
a Transportation Infrastructure
and Development Fund, and,
of course, the Race Horse
Development Fund – among four
others.
Wynn Everett officials indicated that there would be millions
of dollars going into the various
funds listed above in their first
full year of operation – money
that is meant to go to communities to help fund projects and
mitigate impacts through the use
of state taxes and fees paid by
casino operators.
During the first year of operation, Wynn will provide $201
million to the 12 separate funds,
it said, including:
*$4.02 million to the Mass
Cultural Council
*$30.15 million to the
Transportation Infrastructure and
Development Fund
*$28.14 million to the
Education Fund
*$13.07 million to the CMF

the MGC determines that they are
allowed, there should be significant safeguards put in place.
“We urge you to explore this
issue through a stand-alone process,” she said. “Additionally, if
you conclude that existing law
allows for ATMs in casinos, we
urge you to consider a wide range
of protections, including requiring
that ATMs be placed a certain
distance from the casino floor,
caps on withdrawals, and prohibiting credit card cash advances on
ATMs.”
She also spoke about other
consumer protections, including
variances, credit extensions, organized crime infiltration and debt
collection.
She finished her comments by
saying that she will make casino enforcement a priority of her
administration.
“In this new era, the public
must feel confident that no casinos will be brought online before
meeting their commitments and
following the law,” she said. “I
have a responsibility to the public
to ensure gaming accountability,
and have made this a priority for
my new administration.”

Now serving the
community!
Black
In her first day on the
job, new Attorney General
and
Charlestown
resident
Maura Healy appeared before
the Massachusetts Gaming
Commission (MGC) and pledged
to protect the public throughout
the casino process – including
promises made about traffic and
mitigation.
Healy was sworn into office
on Wednesday, and appeared at
the MGC on Thursday morning,
Jan. 22.
While she had been a strong
anti-casino voice throughout her
campaign, and does not support
expanded gaming, she said she
would work with the MGC to
make sure there is a strong voice
in state government to protect the
residents of Charlestown – and
the rest of the Commonwealth.
“Over the past several years,
advocates for expanded gaming
and applicants for casino licenses
made significant commitments to
the people of Massachusetts,” she
said. “The industry has promised
to create thousands of temporary and permanent jobs and to
hire many local residents and
vendors. Casinos have also promised host and surrounding com-
munities that they will address
public safety, infrastructure,
and environmental impacts. For
example, casinos have committed
to remediating existing environmental hazards, mitigating traffic and neighborhood impacts,
and building their facilities in
a manner consistent with local
development plans…Our office
will make sure that casinos abide
by their commitments and follow
the law. We will ensure that consumers are protected from unfair
and deceptive practices, that casino employees are treated fairly,
that all processes are open and
transparent, and that public protections are never left to chance.
We believe that an active regulatory and enforcement approach
is good for the public and for
this new industry, which deserves
clear rules of the road.”
After her formal comments,
Healy did acknowledge the
Boston lawsuit against the MGC,
and she also said that she would
be making sure her neighborhood
is protected against any hedging
from Wynn.
A spokesman for Healy said
the office would likely treat any
retreats from traffic solutions and
mitigation as a breach of contract. While the office doesn’t

accessed as well by communities.
You really, as a community, have
to be out there quickly and be
aware of all that’s available and
getting at it if you want to get
the maximum benefit…It’s the old
saying that the squeaky wheel gets
the grease.”
The money is over and above
any other surrounding community agreements or host community
agreements that are in effect, and it
is solely upon individual communities to apply for the grants.
That first deadline for the first
pot of money – the Community
Mitigation Fund (CMF) – comes
on Monday, Feb. 2, and will continue each year per state law on
the first business day of February.
Already, millions of dollars have
been deposited into the various
state gaming tax funds, though
the CMF will be limited this year.
Reportedly, the first deposits to the
fund from gaming license fees were
around $17.5 million.
MGC officials said the CMF
will be allocating $100,000 planning grants from the fund this
year to communities that are host
or surrounding communities – or
even those that applied to be host
or surrounding communities and
were denied.
That limited amount of money
comes due to the fact that there
is really nothing to mitigate yet
due to the fact that construction
hasn’t started. Therefore, for the
initial year of grants, the MGC
decided to award planning grants
to communities to study the potential factors they could face due to
the construction and opening of a
casino.
With so much money at stake,
one would think that most every
community is chomping at the
bit to get a piece of the newfound
revenues. However, it isn’t the case
as some communities have jumped
out in front to get in the pipeline,
others have been slow to understand that the pots of money are
available and others have been hesitant to participate in the process
due to ongoing litigation.
The City of Boston would have
likely qualified for the $100,000
planning grant from the CMT,
something that could be put
towards ongoing traffic and community planning efforts just underway in Charlestown.
However, the City would not
confirm whether or not it had
applied or would apply for the
CMT due to the ongoing lawsuit
filed just recently.
“The City of Boston is now
engaged in litigation and therefore cannot comment on specifics related to the lawsuit,” read
a statement from Boston Mayor
Martin Walsh. “Mayor Walsh is
taking this action to protect the
City and the neighborhood of
Charlestown.”
Meanwhile, in another community with a lawsuit against the
MGC – Revere – it has applied
for the CMT and hopes to use the
potential $100,000 grant for traffic planning.
The Revere Mayor’s Office said
they have been working with their
planning consultant, Paul Rupp, to
apply for the inaugural round of
state gaming tax grants.
Revere is the only community
surrounding Wynn Everett that
would have no surrounding community agreement monies available to it. The community never
engaged with Wynn Everett to
negotiate such an agreement due
to legal restrictions in its host community agreement with Mohegan
Sun.
“We did put an application in a
week ago,” said Mayoral Assistant
Miles Lang-Kennedy. “We’re looking to potentially use it for planning efforts for Rt. 16 and Rt. 1.
It’s all very new this year, but as
they go forward, we expect there

will be more guidelines.”
Chelsea City Solicitor Cheryl
Fisher Watson said her City has
been on the forefront of looking to get involved with the
numerous funds available from
the MGC, including the CMT.
Getting in the pipeline is very
important to the City, she said,
and they have appointed Planner
John DePriest to be a representative on the CMT Committee.
“This year it’s a little different
because there is no construction
or casino to mitigate,” Watson
said. “We are definitely on
board with this. We’re putting in
for the maximum grant this year.
We have a lot of traffic concerns
to mitigate. We want to get
ahead of the gaming addiction
and education issues. We’re also
interested in looking at jobs and,
of course, public safety is very
important in this too…We’ve
already looked preliminarily at
some intersections. We’ve done
our homework. We’re ahead of
the curve on this I think.”
Hogan, of Malden, has also
been appointed to the CMT
Committee by his community.
“We already have our application in and already have
had conversations with the
Commission about what activities would be ok for use of
the mitigation fund,” he said.
“Communities are going to have
to be on top of this in years to
come so they can figure out how
to use it effectively. This year it’s
kind of a no-brainer. It’s money
that’s just on the table.”

The revised drawing of Wynn Everett looking from I-93 towards Everett.
MGC receives new exterior Wynn
design positively, calls it ‘Iconic’
By Seth Daniel
during the environmental review
– comments that urged them to
call for more promotion of mass
transit and less reliance on parking for vehicles.
“Comments we got in the FEIR
asked us to take a look at how to
encourage more mass transit,”
DeSalvio said. “We wanted to be
very responsive to the comments
we received.”
Commissioners received the
peek into the new design very
well, making all positive comments.
“It looks great,” said MGC
Chair Steve Crosby. “It’s a major
improvement over the design
from before. This is going to be
incredible visually for most people…Hopefully it will be more
visible than the windmill nearby…It’s exciting and something to
be proud of.”
Said Commissioner Enrique
Zuniga, “I think it’s really iconic.”
Commissioner Jim McHugh –
who was instrumental in calling
for a different design – said he
liked what he saw so far.
“I’m happy our request to
re-think the design has been taken
so seriously and has resulted in
a different approach to this,” he
said.
The next milestone in the process is expected to be the release
of the final environmental report,
which will focus exclusively on
traffic remediation. That process has been underway since the
license was awarded in September
and is expected by Jan. 30.

Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
Wynn Everett officials unveiled
a first look at the new design of
its Lower Broadway casino last
Thursday at the Massachusetts
Gaming Commission (MGC)
meeting, showing an outside
view of a building that was much
more like the curvy, bronze Wynn
Encore resort in Las Vegas than
its previous straight up and down
tower for Everett.
While it was expected that Steve
Wynn would personally unveil his
new conceptual designs, which
are reported to be a collaboration
between Wynn, Roger Thomas
(Wynn executive VP of design)
and DeRuyter Butler (Wynn executive VP of architecture), that did
not take place.
Instead of complete floor plans
and renderings of the entire project, Wynn Everett officials chose
to unveil only the new exterior rendering – which was much
more like a Wynn signature Las
Vegas design that the earlier tower
design that the MGC rejected in
September.
Bob DeSalvio of Wynn Everett
said the remaining designs are still
under consideration, and will be
unveiled in the near future.
“The floor plans and other
elevations are in Las Vegas where
designers are reviewing the layouts,” said DeSalvio. “Final floor
plans will come at a later date.
The design team is currently
working on renderings for the
interiors. They want to look at
the spaces in their proper context.
They might make a model to do
that so they can observe how
those spaces work.”
Other changes, though not
visual, were revealed.
Due to the new design being
larger, DeSalvio said they have
gone from around 550 hotel
rooms to approximately 629
rooms.
“The increase in rooms will
add jobs, some housekeeping and
some supervisors,” he said. “For
the most part, the jobs increase
will mostly be in the housekeeping
and supervisory areas.”
Also, the waterfront nightclub
that would have sat at the tip
of the retail esplanade on the
banks of the Mystic River has
largely been scrapped in favor
of a function space and meeting
room area.
“The folks in Las Vegas helped
us think through the way to
approach the outdoor space and
green area and how we want to
use that,” he said.
“We have removed [the nightclub] from the plan,” he continued. “We felt having the meeting
areas in that spot would have
more use.”
Instead of the nightclub,
DeSalvio said they would likely
have a dual use for the Andrea’s
Restaurant proposed for the
resort. That restaurant would be
transformed into a nightclub style
entertainment space after a certain hour, he said.
Another revelation was the
fact that the project has chopped
off 300 parking spaces from the
garage, going from 3,700 spaces
to 3,400.
DeSalvio said that was directly
due to comments they received

Years ago programs like the
federal Hope VI program was able
to transform housing development
built in the 1940s and 1950s into
more attractive housing with
low income residents living side
by side with middle and upper
income residents.
However, Hope VI funds have
dried up so LaMattina said the
city is turning to private devel-
opers.
“It’s very encouraging because
there has been a lot of interest,”
said LaMattina. “We have a real
opportunity here to do something
for the residents of the Bunker
Hill development to make where
they live more attractive for not
only themselves but for the entire
neighborhood. I think we can do
something on the same scope and
scale as we did in East Boston with

All of the players and their parents who took

Trophy Day /Pizza Party is at the Boys & Girls
club GREEN STREET BUILDING not the High St.
Building where the games are played
and reconnects residents with the
surrounding community. Aside
from knocking down the old tenement style brick housing and
replacing those with attractive
architecturally pleasing buildings,
the site also offers public open
spaces including a park at one corner of the development, a crescent
shape of townhouses that invites
the public waterfront park into
the development and broad walkways that link a community center
with housing on all sides.
“The same can be said of what
was done at Columbia Point,”
said LaMattina. “In the 1970s
and 1980s it was one of the worst
public housing developments in
the city. With private investment
it was transformed into Harbor
Point with mixed-income housing.
That become the model for Hope
VI federally and could be the
model here in Charlestown.”
Betty Carrington, President of
the Bunker Hill Tenants Task said
“As resident representatives, we
would be open to discuss any proposal that preserves and improves

CLERGY VIEWPOINT
From
the
C h a r l e s t o w n C l e r g y A s s o c i at i o n
In the midst of the storm
By Rev. Thomas N. Mousin – Rector, St. John’s Episcopal Church
I write this in the midst of a
blizzard that weather forecasters
have predicted will be historic.
It is too early to know what the
total accumulation will be here in
our area, although New York City
already seems to have avoided the
major brunt of the storm.
Children delight in the accumulating piles of white, of course,
but we all know that winter
storms like this cause great inconvenience, threaten the safety and
health of many, and can have
a significant impact on countless businesses. Schedules are
rearranged, appointments are
cancelled, and we stock up on
supplies in case the power goes
out. Hardly circumstances that we
welcome.
If a storm such as this causes
disruption however, it also brings
a reminder of how much we take
for granted, and how easily we
are tempted to believe that we
are somehow in control of our
lives. How many times, when the
power has gone off, do you still
instinctively reach for the light
switch when entering a room,
only to remember that there is no
electricity there at your fingertips?
BUYER 1
BUYER 2
In my early 20’s I spent a year
living in a house without indoor
plumbing and heated only by two
small and inefficient woodstoves.
There was, at least, electricity. At
the time it was an adventure and
a bracing challenge, particularly
as winter descended. But I confess
that I grew weary in February of
returning home in the late afternoon to a very cold house where
the fires had long since died in
the woodstoves. One afternoon, I
even discovered a thin crust of ice
forming in my cat’s water dish.
The cat never complained.
Ultimately, it was a profoundly
rewarding year. Water was not
something to turn on and off
whenever I wanted, but a precious
commodity carried into the house
daily from the spring outside, then
carefully dispensed for washing
and drinking. I had a much closer connection to the source of
my heat, as filling the wood box
and chopping wood for kindling
became essential parts of the daily
routine. For several years after
that experience, I never turned up
a thermostat or turned on a water
faucet without reflecting on how
much was required to bring those
elements essential to my survival
to my fingertips. That was years
ago. And of course, now it is easy
to let the faucet run too long. It
is easier, when I am chilly, to turn
up the thermostat rather than go
upstairs to get a sweater. I forget.
Until a storm comes. And then
I am reminded. I am reminded
of how much I take for granted.
I am reminded of how often I
have easy and regular access to so
much of what makes life not only
possible, but also comfortable. I
am reminded of the millions of
persons for whom access to water,
heat, or shelter, is a daily struggle,
not a temporary inconvenience. I
am reminded of all the ways I can
act responsibly when the power
is on and water is running. I am
reminded of ways I can reorder
my life, and of gifts I can give
that will benefit those without
the basic necessities of life. And
finally, in the midst of the storm,
I am grateful; grateful for all that
I have, and even for the wind and
the white snows that bring me
to a place of remembering and
renewed appreciation.
