Page 2 EAST BOSTON TIMES-FREE PRESS Thursday, January 29, 2015 Lanzilli's Groceria and Gas Station sells $10M lottery ticket By John Lynds The lucky streak of customers playing the lottery at Lanzilli's Groceria and Gas Station in East Boston continues. Last week a Revere resident went into the store to break a $100 bill and walked out a multi millionaire. Richard Noll of Revere is the latest $10 million prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s "Platinum Millions" instant "scratch" game after a fateful circumstance. According to the Lottery, Noll needed to break a $100 bill so that he could pay cash for his lunch at a nearby sandwich shop. Noll went into Lanzilli Groceria in East Boston and purchased two $20 "Platinum Millions" instant tickets, one of which revealed his $10 million prize. Joined by his wife Lisa, Noll claimed his prize at the Mass. Lottery’s Braintree headquarters on Tuesday, January 20. He chose the cash option on his prize and received a onetime payment of $6,500,000, less taxes. Noll plans on using his winnings to buy a house, make some investments and take his granddaughter to Disney World. Lanzilli, located at 931 Bennington St. in East Boston, will receive a $50,000 bonus for its sale. Noll is the third $10 million "Platinum Millions" prize winner since this instant game was launched in 2013. There are two additional $10 million prizes and sixteen $1 million prizes remaining in the game. Last year, in what Lottery officials hailed 'rarity' by lottery Lanzilli's sold two $1 million scratch tickets in less than a month that were both purchased by loyal customers. "We’ve sold 3 maybe 4 in the 13 years we owned the store," said owner sonny Patel. "Then we sold two in one month. It’s crazy. Now we sold a $10 million ticket." Those tickets were sold to Phillip DiMento of Winthrop. He claimed a $1 million prize playing the Massachusetts State Lottery's $10,000,000 Multiplier Spectacular instant game. Then less than a month later John Bertulli of East Boston –claimed the sixth and final grand prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s "20X The Cash" instant game and became the second million dollar winner at Lanzilli’s. Lanzilli’s received $10,000 on each winning ticket. "We sell a lot of lottery tickets," said Patel. "I’d say we are one of the busiest lottery agents in the neighborhood." The back wall inside Lanzilli’s is lined with $1,000, $10,000 and even $50,000 winners. "I guess it’s rare but we have a lot of winners because we sell a lot of tickets," said Patel. of the units will be affordable. The project includes 30 parking spaces and 34 bicycle storage spaces on site. The developer will also complete sidewalk and streetscape improvements along Bremen Street. "There are othersß like $2.3 million for 41-43 Saratoga St. to build 18 units of housing as well as a couple of million for a project on Princeton Street," said EBSB Vice President of Commercial Lending John Migliozzi. "We go from big to small so our lending runs the whole gamut. Ten years ago people couldn't spell 'Eastie" and now it is getting the long overdue recognition it deserves and our lending reflects that." Both Migliozzi and Gavegnano both said it was only a matter of time before Eastie caught up with the rest of Boston's waterfront districts. "It is being recognized finally as the gem it always was," said Gavegnano. "You got exposure to the water, affordability, close proximity to downtown and great restaurants and businesses so we are accommodating the inflow of interest in financing these important projects." The lending not only creates housing but it also creates jobs, said Gavegnano. "There is a trickle down effect here," said Gavegnano. "You are not only creating housing but construction jobs and as these building become occupied you have more people living in the community and supporting local businesses." EBSB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 new hotel on a long neglected parcel of land along Boardman Street and McClellan Highway with $16 million. The Boston Redevelopment Authority approved Fall River based developer First Bristol Corp. $32 million project to build a Hilton Garden Inn in Eastie. The BRA approved First Bristol s plans to build a five story, 177 rooms Hilton Garden Inn hotel. After the hotel is built, First Bristol will still have approximately 10,000 sq. ft. to work with and plans to build space for casual dining restaurants and retail opportunities. The approved project also includes 346 parking spaces, new sidewalks, street trees, planters, and lighting. EBSB also backed the construction of 245 Sumner Street with $7 million. The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) approved the development of a large mixed-use private development at 245 Sumner Street in Jeffries Point. The project will replace an existing warehouse with a new four-story, mixed-use building within walking distance of the Maverick MBTA Blue Line station. The project will create 34 residential units, including five affordable units, and 2,257 square feet of ground floor commercial space. Thirty-four parking spaces will be built below grade, and bicycle storage space will also be created. Community benefits include widened public sidewalks along Sumner and Orleans Streets, which will feature new landscaping and street trees. A project to bring 32 rental units to Bremen Street received $5.5 million from EBSB. The BRA approved the development of 70 Bremen Street, a site that was once used as an overflow parking lot for the Rapino Funeral Home. The 70 Bremen Street Development will include 32 residential units and two ground floor commercial units in a five-story building. Five East Boston Savings Bank has funded the new hotel on a long neglected parcel of land along Boardman Street and McClellan Highway with $16 million. This project is only one of several large construction projects in Eastie that the bank is throwing its support behind.

Last week Capuano said that state bill was only a temporary solution and it is entirely up to the federal government whether ethanol trains will be allowed into Boston. "There's no way the state can stop these trains from coming into the area," said Capuano. "While I don't think Global will be trying their proposal again there could be another company in the future that wants to do the same thing." Capuano said being a Democrat in a Republican controlled House with no appetite to slow or stop commerce he will focus his efforts on the subcommittee making sure the trains hauling ethanol are the best trains to haul this hazardous material. "What we are working on is making sure these rail cars are up to snuff," said Capuano. "There are whole new fleets of these rail cars that use the latest state of the art technology, that are double hulled and are safer than the former fleet. I think it is a fools errand to try and stop ethanol completely so we need to look at making sure they are the safest trains on the nation's rails."

The City's Director of Urban Wild Development Paul Sutton told the JPNA that funds have been earmarked to begin an overhaul of the Rockies. "The community did a lot of work over the years to champion this site," said Sutton. "With all the other green spaces in East Boston coming together this has been the missing link." Sutton the Parks Department has been able to secure capital funding, several grants like an orchid restoration grant and Beautify Boston grant that can piggyback on some other funding sources to begin a redevelopment of the Rockies. "We are planning to fix the wall to make the site more appealing and more attractive," said Sutton. "Then we will add shrubs along Marginal Street, more shade trees and benches." While the site was an untamed Urban Wild the overhaul will transform the Rockies into a more beautifully landscaped park that welcomes more residents to interact with the space by adding paths and benches. Sutton also said that the city has contracted a landscape company that will regularly maintain the park with mowing and pruning of shrubs and trees. "The first phase will be to fix the retaining wall and begin regular upkeep and from there will start to transform the space," he said.

Mondays 11am - 5pm Tuesday - Thursday 9am-5pm Black Thursday, January 29, 2015 THE EAST BOSTON TIMES-FREE PRESS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE Orient Heights Public Housing not part of private iniative plan By John Lynds The Orient Heights Public Housing Development is not part of an Request for Quotation (RFQ) put out by the city and Boston Housing Authority (BHA) to get some ideas of what developer can do to transform aging public housing development into a better place to live and raise a family for residents across the city. However, BHA's Lydia Agro said a major overhaul of the housing development is in the works. "We have been looking at a major redevelopment at Orient Heights for some time now and expect to have a more detailed announcement on plans there in the very near future," she said. Due to ongoing federal budget cuts and encouragement from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the BHA and other housing authorities across the country, are exploring new ways to preserve and redevelop public housing. Therefore, the BHA recently released an RFQ to explore the possibility of public/private partnerships for some of our older federally subsidized public housing developments. However, the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) picked Orient Heights as one of 12 public housing developments in the state to receive High Leverage Asset Preservation Program (HILAPP) funds for an overhaul of more than half the units there. The BHA will use HILAPP funds to redevelop 120 units of family housing at the Orient Heights development. In addition to DHCD funds, the project proposes to leverage 4 percent tax credit equity, a grant from the City of Boston, mortgage financing, and Section 8 rental subsidies. Orient Heights is a 330-unit development and this project is the first of an anticipated 3-phase project to modernize the entire development over time. Page 3 By Cary Shuman The BHA and state have already been looking at the site, defining the paths it will take for a comprehensive remodeling and exploring different models of construction and cost. Like the Maverick Housing development before it was rehabbed under a HOPE VI federal grant the Orient Heights development is isolated and has an odd layout. The project will take several years from start to finish but. For many years Eastie’s elected officials have focused their efforts on trying to improve the quality of life for residents at the Orient Heights Development. They all agree that this grant is a step in the right direction and renovating the development to a higher standard. The BHA will receive $5 million to begin the design phases of the projects. By the conclusion of this first competitive cycle, DHCD will invest up to $27 million in capital dollars to support the BHA’s plans for Orient Heights. Over the next five years, DHCD will distribute $75M for HILAPP projects, which will in turn leverage millions of dollars from outside sources. DHCD will repeat the competitive award process annually, funding permitting, in order to build and maintain a consistent pipeline of HILAPP projects. The Program will provide competitively bid grants to local housing authorities that are able to secure matching funds from local and or other non-DHCD sources. City Councilor Sal LaMattina said he was excited to finally see some progress in rehabbing Orient Heights. "In the city’s Host Community Agreement with Suffolk Downs there was money earmarked for an overhaul of the development," said LaMattina. "With that being voted down in November 2013 we are back to square one and have had to find other sources of money to get our vision for a better and brighter Orient Heights Development off the ground." trict in December, representing East Boston.

Adrian Madaro Proposes Plan to Lower Taxes and Expand Soundproofing for East Boston Residents Affected by Logan Airport This week candidate for State Representative Adrian Madaro announced several proposals to mitigate the impact of Logan Airport on the residents and businesses of East Boston, including a new tax abatement for properties negatively affected by noise pollution from the airport as well as expanding subsidies to sound proof windows. Citing residents near Chicago’s O’Hare Airport who won tax appeals after arguing their properties lost value due to noise pollution, Madaro said a similar measure should be enacted in East Boston. “The people of East Boston should receive a tax abatement for the loss of property value caused by this noise pollution.” Madaro continued. “Residents in Chicago saw up to a 12% reduction in their taxes. Those savings would make a big difference for many families here.” “In addition to this tax break, it’s my belief that every single household in East Boston should be eligible for sound proof windows.” said Madaro. “and I will work with the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand the noise contour map to cover our entire community.” To cover costs of these proposals, Madaro suggested that a portion of the roughly $18 million that Massport currently pays annually to the City of Boston as a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) be dedicated to lowering the property taxes of affected East Boston residents. Currently those funds are not specifically dedicated to East Boston and can be spent throughout the City. “The payments that Massport makes to the City should be spent here in East Boston” said Madaro. “We are the ones that are most affected by the air and noise pollution and I will work with Massport and through the legislative process at the State House to ensure that these funds are used to specifically help residents.” A big helping of FREE The right checking mix to help you switch!

Torrone Senator Anthony Petruccelli Sen. Petruccelli elevated to Majority Whip position By John Lynds State Senator Anthony Petruccelli was elevated to Majority Whip last Thursday by Senate President Stanley Rosenberg (D-Amherst)--the same position that catapulted another son of East Boston, Robert Travaglini, to the Senate Presidency in 2003. In U.S. politics, a whip's role is to gauge the temperature of members in the party and line up votes for important bills and legislation. The term comes from hunting. First used in the 1800s, the term 'whipping in', i.e. making sure the hounds didn't stray from the pack, was applied to 'enforcers' in Congress who made sure their party members voted accordingly or were, at the very least, present when important votes were taken. Petruccelli, who was first elected to the Massachusetts Senate in 2007 after serving as a State Representative for Eastie in the House for seven years, will help craft the Senate agenda and contributes to the building of the Senate Calendar, which controls when bills will come up for debate. "I am grateful to Senate President Rosenberg for the opportunity to serve in this leadership capacity and look forward to offering new perspective to the roll," said Petruccelli. In a newly created position, Petruccelli will also serve as Chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus. Typically when members caucus and the Senate President is unable to preside over the caucus the role falls to the Majority Leader. Rosenberg has decided to allow Petruccelli to preside over the caucus in his absence. "I'm really excited by that opportunity and the role that Senate President Rosenberg has entrusted in me," said Petruccelli. "I look forward to that new role." While Petruccelli will no longer chair the committee on financial services his role in senate leadership will allow him to focus more on almost all the legislation that the Senate will take on in the upcoming session. "It frees me up to focus on more things and be involved in more legislation, how members may or may not vote and and helping direct the agenda for the upcoming year," he said. Petruccelli has also been appointed Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Bills in Third Reading, which approves drafting and constitutionality of all legislation before final Senate passage. In addition, Senator Petruccelli is also a member of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. Aside from Eastie, Petruccelli's district includes Beacon Hill, Cambridge, North End, Revere and Winthrop. "Senator Petruccelli continues to advance in his Senate career with his appointment to leadership based on his work ethic, the widespread respect he has from the members, and his ability to lead others," said Senate President Rosenberg.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Supports Madaro for State Representative A message from Mary Ellen Welch, President of the East Boston Greenway Council, Airport activist, former Jeffries Point Neighborhood Association Chair, and lifelong East Boston community leader. Dear Friends, Because Carlo Basile has resigned as State Representative for East Boston to take a position in the Baker administration, there will be a special election on March 3rd to fill the seat. A special young man has recently announced his candidacy for State Representative. He is Adrian Madaro, the son of Debra Cave and Jacopo Madaro. For the last couple of years Adrian has been the Chief Of Staff for Representative Basile. In that job Adrian has established himself as a strong, intelligent advocate for the people and important issues in East Boston. He has been representing Carlo Basile at community meetings responding to citizen concerns, answering questions and solving problems presented by constituents. He has volunteered as a Board member for several community organizations including the Y.M.C.A., the Harborside Community Council, and the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center among others. As a Board Member of the organizations Adrian has helped to raise money, provide leadership and help young people, families and senior citizens. Adrian is a graduate of the Boston Latin School and has both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Tufts University. As a Ward Fellow at Boston Latin he earned internships at City Hall, the State House and in college was an intern in Congress as well. As a result of his experience as an intern Adrian and Ernani DeAraujo established an internship for East Boston youth in honor of Judge Mario Umana. Because of his interest and involvement with the Ward Fellows Program he became a member of the Ward Fellow Advisory Board under Judge Mark Wolf. Because of all his work in and for our community and Black because Adrian is a smart and committed leader, I shall work for his election as State Representative from East Boston. I hope you join me in voting for Adrian on March 3rd. Mary Ellen Welch Supports Deveau for State Representative Dear Editor: On Tuesday, March 3, East Boston has a huge decision to make in the election to replace Rep. Carlo Basile. The community is lucky to have such an impressive slate of candidates running, but I think one candidate stands out as having the most pertinent experience and ability to deliver for East Boston. Last week, I was proud to introduce Ed Deveau at his campaign kickoff at the Orient Heights Yacht Club. I have known Ed since his days at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Elementary School. Since then, I’ve seen Ed’s incredible growth and countless contributions to the community. Whether it is his work with the Salesian Boys & Girls Club and Constitution Beach Association, or serving as Anthony Petruccelli’s point person for over a decade, Ed has a record of delivering for East Boston – time and time again. Ed’s commitment to this community is deep, and his experience in government is unparalleled. He is a friend, but more importantly, he is the right guy for the job. Tony Chianca Saint Andrew Road Supports Ruggiero for State Representative Dear Editor: I am writing to explain why I have chosen to support Joe Ruggiero’s candidacy for State Representative of the First Suffolk District. This election is very important to me as a husband, a father, a homeowner and as a lifelong resident of East Boston. Joe has been an active member of our community and has dedicated his time to making a difference in the lives of our kids through coaching and mentoring. His values are our values: selflessness, honesty, loyalty, and the desire to serve. As a former staffer for Rep. Basile, I know firsthand what it takes to be a successful representative for East Boston, and I know that Joe is the right man for the job. He will work day and night for our residents, just as he has done as a volunteer, busi- ness owner, and community advocate. My wife Lindsay and I know that Joe will be the representative we need to keep East Boston on the right track, and the perfect place to raise our family. We believe in him, and I’d ask all readers to consider voting for Joe Ruggiero for State Representative on March 3. Michael Sulprizio No more cuts Dear Governor Baker, We are writing to urge you not to impose further 9c cuts to elderly home care. On October 19, 2014, Governor Deval Patrick made a total of $2.37 million in 9c cuts to Elder Affairs line items, including $1.52 million to home care services. Protective services, congregate housing and meals programs were also cut. In October of 2008, Governor Patrick chose to make a total of $15.511 million in 9c cuts to the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (ELD) line items (9110 accounts). The accounts lost 5.3% in overall funding. The impact of these cuts are still felt today in the ELD accounts, seven budget years later. Among the programs hardest hit were the home care purchased services item, and home care case management, which lost $6.77 million. The home care line items never recovered from the 9C cuts of FY 2009. Funding in FY 2015 is roughly where it stood—or lower--than eight budgets ago in FY 2007: Previous 9c cuts have not only affected the 28,200 elders in this program, it has resulted in lower CHIA rates for this program, since Chapter 257 rates are based largely on restrained historic levels of funding. It has also pushed up caseloads to over 100 per worker at some agencies, and depressed salary levels. At the same time, the home care accounts have had a significant positive financial impact on the state’s bottom line by reducing spending in nursing facility appropriations. Home and community based services have dramatically changed nursing facility use by MassHealth: Between FY 2000 and FY 2014, the number of nursing home patient days paid for by MassHealth fell by 4,500,000 days (-34.4%). In FY 15, the median cost of a MassHealth SNF patient day is $189.64. The costs avoided from 4.5 million fewer patient days is $853.38 million. This “home care dividend” is a smart investment, which provides the state with an immediate ROI: when we keep an elder out of a MassHealth nursing facility bed today, that same day we provide them with care in the community for less than half the cost. Home care spending also attracts more federal FFP bonuses from CMS. For all the above reasons, we ask you not to impose further 9c cuts to the home care accounts. Our elderly clients have already paid a significant price for 9c cuts over the past seven years. Al Norman Mass Home Care Michael E.

He spent 13 years of devoted service in Senator Anthony Petrucelli’s office as his former Chief of Staff, and continues to be a constant fixture at community and board meetings, sporting events, and fundraisers around the neighborhood. “Being associated with Ed Deveau is the best compliment I could receive,” said Michelle Deveau, who laughs about being known by peers, teachers, and airport personnel as Ed’s little sister. “I can speak on behalf of Ed’s character, his love, his support, and his thoughtfulness. He is always standing his ground, remaining calm, and always showing up when you need him the most. Ed Deveau cares and wants to do great things for East Boston.” Supporters describe Deveau as being born to be a public servant, and someone who loves the neighborhood. He believes in the power of community and helping others. “I’m running for state representative because I believe in the greatness of East Boston. I believe that public service isn’t an occupation, but a calling. Giving back to a community that has given me so much is the right thing to do,” said Deveau. As a state representative, Deveau promises to ensure that the influx of community development be done in a responsible manner and fits into the fabric of the neighborhood. His ambitions include enticing people to invest in East Boston to open businesses, raise families, and live here. Deveau is also an advocate for accessible education for all children, and promoter of providing teachers with the proper tools and funding to offer every student with the education they deserve. “I have the experience to ensure that our community has the resources that we need to address our local problems, and I will be a strong voice for the community and state-wide debates that will affect the quality of life here for generations to come,” said Deveau.

As in years past some of Eastie’s many residents— many of whom are self-professed food aficionados, will sample the food. "This event is more than a culinary showcase; a Taste of Eastie is a community gathering that celebrates East Boston’s diversity, pageantry and love of friends and family," said Gruner. "The event is successful not only because it highlights East Boston’s exemplary cuisine, but because it brings people together; young and old, students and professionals, businesses and civic groups. The community really rallies around this event." Tickets are $35.00 and can be purchased by going online to TasteOfEastie2015. eventbrite.com or in person at MP&CO or the Main Streets office at 146 Maverick Street. al Eastie residents will again put aside those post holiday and carb conscious diets (tonight) Thursday during the 19th Annual Taste of Eastie. A local culinary tradition that brings the neighborhood and old friends together through food, the event’s success has long been attributed to its perfect blend of community, camaraderie and cuisine—and this year will be no exception. This year's annual Taste of Eastie will kick off at the Boston Logan Hilton on Thursday, January 29 (tonight) from 6-9 p.m. Mayor Martin Walsh is expected to join the community for the event. Each year the event’s organizer, East Boston Main Streets (EBMS), captures the experience of bringing friends and family together to enjoy great food, each other’s company and celebrate the community—because in Eastie, dinner is as much about spending time with friends and family as it is about the food. Food and fun highlight this wonderful evening including raffles and auctions. Thirty local food merchants will showcase their delicious cuisine, including tastes from South and Central America, the Mediterranean, China, the Middle East, Italy and Australia. "This will be a great event and a great way to showcase the various restaurants that dot the Main Streets district," said EBMS Director Max Gruner. Again, Taste of Eastie features a silent auction and raffle. Last year, more than 300 Eastie residents and residents from neighboring communities reached into their pockets and gave something back to Eastie by supporting this longstanding fundraiser in support of EBMS. The event raised nearly $20,000 to fund EBMS’s community improvement projects.

During the 2nd period, East Boston did its best to keep Everett at bay, but were at a loss. Everett scored seven goals during the 2nd period, taking a commanding lead. Eastie's strategy during this period was to keep the puck PHOTOS BY JOE PREZIOSO away from their end of the rink where Everett was making stately and coordinated passes to get past Eastie's defense and into the net. Eastie did manage to score two more goals during the 2nd period bringing the score to 7-3. The third period brought both teams back to full strength and resembled the first period. It was a stalemate and no team scored during the 3d and final period. Eastie’s Capt. Steven Tauro collides with Everett’s JJ MacLaughlin. Eastie’s Kenneth Lockhead lets the puck fly.

Are whistle blowers, hackers, and people who reveal dirty, little (and big) secrets heroes or treasonous enemies, treacherous to our country’s security? Where do we draw the line? In Zayd Dohrn’s one-act, two-people play, currently performed at New Repertory’s Black Box Theater, the playwright pits an ambitious “almost 26-year-old” American activist female who believes in full disclosure against an “almost 40-yearold” British political journalist-hacker, who’s on a global lecture circuit. He’s scheduled to speak in Berlin, Paris, and other high-profile cities, but he’s staying one step ahead of authorities seeking to capture Esme Allen and Lewis D. Wheeler. him. Dohrn wrote the play in 2010, when Bradley-now-Chelsea Manning, a 22-year-old Army sergeant and intelligence analyst, leaked classified information from the US State and Defense departments. The play premiered at Barrington Stage in 2013, coincidentally when 29-year-old NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked classified information to journalists, who, in turn, published some of it throughout the world. Dohrn’s play has some holes, but accomplished actors Esme Allen as Mira and Lewis D. Wheeler as Stephen are so entertaining, we don’t quibble over details, such as his paranoia about getting captured, yet he lectures in public, gets tipsy, and loosens up with this pretty young activist stranger. Besides making these two characters likable and believable, Direc- BOX OFFICE tor Bridget Kathleen O’Leary keeps their discourse and action tightly timed, ratcheting up the intrigue. Allen and Wheeler as Stephen expertly play a challenging, ping-pong-style, cat-and-mouse game as two strangers thrown together after he lectures in her group. There wasn’t enough money to pay for putting Stephen up in a hotel, so Mira, who claims to be a Smith College graduate, originally from Ann Arbor, Mich., takes him in for the night at her studio flat. She works for the Durga Project, an activist group that wants full transparency - to keep everything out in the open. She bolsters his ego, telling him he’s admired around the world for printing classified information - a rock star. “You’ve opened the floodgates with one leak,” she gushes. Noting his paranoia, she adds, no one would try to kill him. But he knows he’s constantly being followed, he retorts. Stephen pat searches Mira. He One-act, 80-minute play by Zayd Dohrn, appearing through Feb. 1, with New Repertory Theatre, at the Arsenal Center for the Arts Black Box Theatre, 321 Arsenal St., Watertown.

He searches her apartment for “bugs”. Throughout the evening, Mira challenges the public’s right to full disclosure - complete transparency, she says - while Stephen, is highly protective of his fragile military source. Stephen’s willing to disclose anything about his personal life, but nothing else, he insists. But Mira is coy, cagey, flirtatious, able to get him to reveal more than he intended. Drinking more, he lets down his guard as the couple’s flirtation escalates into a nude romp in her bed, nicely nuanced by Christopher Brusberg’s lighting. His phone rings continu- ously with important messages. He takes one call, which upsets him greatly, reducing him to tears. And she comforts him. Thing is, which one is actually totally transparent and truthful? Is Mira who she says she is? Does she fully understand Stephen’s situation and the consequences involved if she exposes him further? Dohrn keeps theatergoers questioning with his surprising plot turns and ending. “Muckrakers” should top your list of things-to-see, especially during today’s worldwide terrorist attacks, political grandstanding, and the media’s eagerness to expose whatever it can, rightfully or not. ‘Crime and Punishment’ full of sound and fur y By Sheila Barth [email protected] It’s no small feat to stage Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s convoluted, classic novel of crime and retribution. The novel was originally published in 12 monthly installments in a Russian literary journal, The Russian Messenger, in 1866, and later in a single volume, after the author’s return from a 10-year exile in Siberia. The story is rife with symbolism, many primary, secondary, and tertiary characters, and a timeless plot that resonates even louder in today’s society. Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus’ 2007, oneact, award-winning theater adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s “conversation on the nature of evil,” takes a contemporary tact, probing into the Crossword Puzzle Across 1 They’re dirty pool 11 WNBA positions 15 Muse of sacred music 16 Brest milk 17 Does a bit of informal polling 18 Paquin of “True Blood” 19 Note 20 Puzzle (out) 21 Model born Lesley Hornby 23 Equinox mo. 24 Accepted 25 “GoodFellas” Oscar winner 28 Reckon, in the boonies 30 OR abbr. 32 One who’s done stretches? 33 Texas Rangers CEO 35 Leap on blades 36 Story writer/poet Grace who studied with Auden 37 Classic Leontyne Price role 38 Honey Ryder and Xenia Onatopp, e.g. 40 Out of line 41 Inseparable 42 Some rectangular bars 43 Feinting spells? 44 Ore.’s highest point 46 Broker’s advice 47 Any regular on “The View” 48 Numbers for closers 50 Cone head? 53 __ Bacon: “East of Eden” character 54 Got at 57 Structure on piles 58 “When pigs fly!” 55 Bergen’s home: Abbr. 59 More than asked 24 Phrase of emphasis 56 Org. working on bridges 60 Safari sights 25 R&B singer Bryson 26 Dow 30 company Down 27 When, in Act Two of “Macbeth,” 1 They’re no. experts the Porter knocks at the gate 2 It may wind up around the house 28 Caught 3 Paul’s “The Prize” co-star 29 Taquer’a meat 4 Bard’s interjections 31 Irritates, with “at” 5 Introduce by degrees 34 Far from mellifluous 6 Stack sweetener 36 At the helm of 7 GP gps. 39 Nursery sounds 8 Weight 40 Like much business? 9 Can across the pond 45 Put away 10 “I’m afraid the news is not good ...” 46 Wedding announcement 11 One may be filed 47 Stupefyin’ Jones creator 12 It merged with Zanzibar in 1964 48 First-year Spanish verb 13 Gangbuster’s target 49 Mexican waterways 14 Inn time 50 Persian for “place of” 22 Singer of complex songs 51 One needing social work? 23 Baste 52 Confucius’s “Book of __” conscience and subconscious of the classic masterpiece’s handsome, 23-year-old former law student, Rodion Raskolnikov. Bitter, impoverished, and beaten down, Raskolnikov’s desperation drives him to commit murder. Then, he rationalizes his heinous act is justified, because it enables him to commit kindly acts. As his guilt weighs more heavily on his conscience, he seeks redemption. In this deliberately scaleddown version, the playwrights call for three actors to portray several characters. Directed by Catherine Bertrand, Salem Theatre Company’s production on opening night is a praiseworthy attempt, full of sound and fury, but the characters are thinly drawn. On the small, stark stage, Jonathan Moriarty’s lighting spotlights each character during key scenes, and appropriately darkens during bleak moments. As theatergoers, a lone man sits silently, deep in troubled thought. With Alexander Castillo portraying main character Raskolnikov, we explore his reasons for committing double murder, traveling through his subconscious and conscience-wrestling. At times, Castillo is compelling, especially when he’s engaging in cat-and-mouse, “modern-day crime-solving” encounters with seemingly sympathetic detective, Porfiry Petrovitch, (Robert Cope). As Raskolnikov devolves further into guilt-ridden hysteria, Castillo rants, rages, cries, battling his inner demons, then asks us onlookers whether we agree with his philosophy - BUYER 1 BOX OFFICE One-act, 90-minute, three-person adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel, by Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus, appearing with Salem Theatre Company through Feb.14: Thursdays-Saturdays, at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 3 p.m. at 90 Lafayette St., Salem. Tickets, $10-$30; Feb. 5, LGBT night; discount tickets, postshow meet and greet. Visit salemtheatre.ticketleap.com/ crime-punishment/. specific people, like Napoleon Bonaparte and him, have the right to kill others to benefit the downtrodden and society. As Porfiry, Cope is affable, believably interested in Raskolnikov’s legal theories (he read a paper the young man wrote in college). While solving his case, Porfiry seems earnestly trying to befriend Raskolnikov and save him from a tougher prison sentence. He calls Raskolnikov the “new face of crime,” while Raskolnikov counters with Porfiry’s new police tactics won’t work on him. Then, too, Porfiry throws Raskolnikov a curve. The killer has confessed, he says,but he knows Raskolnikov is the real murderer who has committed the perfect crime. Porfiry gambles on whether Raskolnikov’s conscience will allow an innocent person to be convicted. Cope also portrays unemployed drunkard, Marmeladov, whose Bible-reading daughter, Sonia, is forced into prostitution to support her family while he “drinks away her earnings”. Cope is cleverly cloying as Porfiry, but he’s bland as Marmeladov. Through quick costume, posture and voice changes, Jade Mears morphs from Raskolnikov’s elderly, bentover, skinflint, pawnbroker-moneylender-slum landlady, to Sonia.Donning a black hat and assuming a kindly demeanor, Mears transforms into Lizaveta, the landlady’s sister and Sonya’s friend, whom Raskolnikov also murders, because she witnessed his stabbing her sister to death. Donning a shawl, Mears changes again, as Raskolnikov’s loving, pathetic mother, who borrows money and gives him everything she has, before dying, heartbroken. As their devotion to each other increases, emotional scenes require more intensity, more chemistry between the couple. Raskolnikov gave Sonia the money his mother gave him, so she can pay for a proper funeral for her father and support her family. Raskolnikov also squirreled away some of his stolen booty under a rock, and begs Sonia to run away with him. When he confesses to her, Sonia convinces him to confess, repent. She promises not to abandon him. Important subplots and key characters of Raskolnikov’s best friend, his sister Dounia, her former employer who is fixated on her, and her vapid, wealthy fiance,’ are ignored. Then again, it’s nearly impossible to winnow this 19th century masterpiece into 90 minutes. Also, I attended “Crime and Punishment” on opening night, so by now, those first-night jitters and minor stage snafus are probably solved.
