I suppose it is about time to put something up here... Despite the lack of updates here, things have actually, slowly, been coming together. Lack of rain and help has made progress slow, but Matt and I have a new straight line started and have restarted/reworked the main line further back and added/changed a few elements including what should be a really fun race-style triple roller set-up. I will try to get some pictures up soon...

2012 Digging
Well, the summer sort of faded without a bang. Rain, busyness, and sundry other pieces left the back end of 2011 trail season here pretty dull. Frankly, building and maintaining trails is just a lot of work and takes a lot of time. Anyone who has had a hand in doing this thing we call trails knows it. I have begun going back to begin the process of preparing for next year. Talk of a new, bigger, main straight line and some revision to older, smaller stuff has begun to yield some fruit. Whether any of this actually takes shape is yet to be seen.

First Fruits
Well the first runs have officially been had for the season. A couple guys took a few runs through the old mains and Surf's Up Saturday and Sunday in spite of some remaining dampness. Much work remains to be done but thus far things are looking to turn out pretty swell.

Long overdue photo update. A bunch of people have been getting out consistently over the past few weeks and things are starting to pop up. Much of this initial work has been going into some smaller set-up stuff that leads into the old main line and also is opening up a couple doors for new lines. Notable additions include Steve/Rick/Jon's triple berm setup in the beginning of what is being called Surfs Up and the Kane Lane, named after the inspiration of Rick. It provides a straight lip into the old main line.
What follows are a few pics from the past week.

Jul 17, 2014Yes, you've got something new here, it's fresh and very catchy. But in some point every track sounds the same way. However, it's listenable. Highlights: You Know You Like It
Jul 9, 2014Probably the best album I've heard in a long time. The mixture of textures, genres and vocals is almost immaculate in its conception. This album is worth and listen and even more so a purchase.
Apr 16, 2014While the first five or six tracks are more than good, the rest of the album as a whole functions just well, but it's still a lack of continuity or entertainment. At some point, I felt like some way all the songs were the same. Despite all this, I enjoyed the work and I think this is a great duo that make things really accurately.
Sep 21, 2013Body Music is undoubtely one of the strongest debuts of 2013. Amazing productions and great lyrics, this album can be listened to a lot of times. Aluna's voice is bittersweet and George productions are unique as they are cathchy.
Sep 16, 2013Great album. Some awesome beats mixed with Aluna's sweet voice, that just work together. Album may lack a bit of a "punch" in a sense of shaking the scene, but is otherwise a very polished pop album.
Aug 16, 2013Not what i was expecting. Very excited about this album, i loved the brilliant singles(You know you like it, you drums your love and attracting flies) but sadly the energy of alunageorge is lost in the album. It seems the singles were chosen because they were the best songs, as the rest does not grab me and comes across as average filler. Could have been much better, shame.
Aug 7, 2013Flawless pop album, less generic than most of pop music nowadays, it's obvious that George Reid's production is brilliant. Diver, Your Drums Your Love and Kaleidoscope Love are highlights.
Jul 30, 2013It is like an Rihanna album. There is no denying that some tracks are flawless. However it also got fillers. Especially the intro of Lost and Found is a shocker.
Sep 9, 2013It's well done, fun to listen to, and a damn sight better than 90% of other pop music right now, yet you couldn't really describe it as essential.
Aug 27, 2013While Aluna Francis sings tart kiss-offs to foolish exes, producer George Reid keeps the digital activity as stylish and minimalist as a Helmut Lang showroom.
Aug 15, 2013At 14 tracks (19 on the deluxe), Body Music feels overlong for a debut, but she's melodic enough to captivate even when Reid's hissing minimalism and spastic beats start to feel warmed over.

Daniel 8:15-27New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Interpretation of the Vision
15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought [a]to understand it; and behold, standing before me was one [b]who looked like a man. 16 And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, and he called out and said, "Gabriel, give this man an understanding of the vision." 17 So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end."
18 Now while he was talking with me, I sank into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand [c]upright. 19 He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.
The Ram's Identity
20 The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
The Goat
21 The shaggy [d]goat represents the [e]kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 The broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power.
23 "In the latter period of their [f]rule,
27 Then I, Daniel, was [r]exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up again and carried on the king's business; but I was astounded at the vision, and there was none to [s]explain it.

Last night I had another one of those dreams with someone who I really used to like a lot. If it ever came true I'd be Alice in Wonderland and then some. I wasn't even thinking of this person. And there were others who were complicit in the dream as well. Like running through barriers separating sides of a runway from a street... and it ending up somewhere totally different. Now if I'd been drinking, you know I might understand it.
And she flounced and came back. And she did the same damn thing almost exactly 1 year ago. Wild.
She's reinventing herself into a parable of fascinating womanhood. And taking over an innocent FB group too. Sorry C, you're a fake. Pure and simple. Get over yourself. Try to be honest, realize there are valid versions of the Bible. You'd have a hard time in France and Spain telling them the KJV is the only version of the Bible. Later honey pie.

Dr. Mac Miller
This wooden bench was actually used at the Ruskin College for
reading and studying. The student would sit on the lower seat, facing the upper
desk. With books or other study materials on the upper level, the student was
able to concentrate on her/her lessons.
The bench is surprisingly comfortable, at least for short
periods of time. It must have really helped focus the student's attention during
long study sessions.

Thomas Schlamme gained an abundance of experience in the film industry during the 1980s and 1990s in directorial and production positions. Even his familial status incorporated his entertainment career, as he married Golden Globe-winning actress Christine Lahti in 1983. Schlamme and Lahti had three children together. Born on May 22, 1950, Schlamme was raised in Houston, TX. Starting off in television, he founded his own commercial production company in 1980, creating advertisements for plays in New York. Soon after directing Emmy-nominated "after-school specials," he became affiliated with big acting names like Bette Midler and Whoopi Goldberg. In 1989, he directed his first full-length feature, which was adapted from a play by Beth Henley, entitled Miss Firecracker. A light-hearted comedy, the film featured Holly Hunter and Tim Robbins. Several years later, Schlamme directed another comedy, this time featuring '80s and '90s Saturday Night Live star Mike Myers, called So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993). While maintaining his status as director for episodes of numerous prime-time television series, Schlamme became strongly affiliated with network TV, and would eventually step up to the producer level within the industry. Beginning with an episode of The Wonder Years, a retrospective drama featuring a young Fred Savage, Schlamme earned directorial credits on highly successful programming throughout the 1980s and 1990s. His NBC spots included episodes of the romantic comedy series Mad About You, the sitcom Friends, and the drama ER. In 1996, he worked with Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear on Spin City. Taking on the law drama genre, he also directed episodes of The Practice, Ally McBeal, and Fox's Boston Public. Doubling up his billing as producer and director, he worked on the series Tracey Takes On in 1996. He acted as executive producer of The West Wing and Sports Night in the 1990s, also directing some of the episodes in the two series. In addition to his behind-the-scenes involvement on television, he appeared as himself in the biographical film about his wife in Intimate Portrait: Christine Lahti, which appeared on TV in 1998.

Damin Pashilk: Clayton Fire Arsonist Arrested (Photos, Facts)
A man accused of starting the Clayton Fire has been arrested by the police.
Forty-year-old Damin Pashilk, former inmate firefighter suspected of being a serial arsonist, was taken into custody on August 16.
The fire has blazed through a massive area. As reported by NBC Bay Area, it has engulfed 4,000 acres and damaged 175 structures. An additional 1,500 structures remain at risk of damage.
Also read: California Wildfire: Fire Map, Routes, Affected Area And Evacuation
Pashilk, who worked as an inmate firefighter during his five-year prison sentence for drugs and weapons convictions, has in excess of 20 times on his arrest record in northern California. In Lake County, he has been arrested 12 times since 2005.
Believed to be a serial arsonist, Pashilk is suspected of setting as many as 17 fires.
According to Lake County Magazine, in 2013 the house where he and his then girlfriend Kesley Saunder lived was burned down. A sum of $1,200 contributed by members of the community was raised through a GoFundMe page. The couple was residing at the Youth Center, Clearlake, at the time.

Pashilk has been under investigation for more than a year. He worked as a construction worker and done odd jobs.
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, Pashilk is facing 17 counts of arson for his involvement in setting the Clayton Fire in Lake County and other fires. He is being held at the Lake County Jail on a $5 million bail.
Dry brush and dying trees have caused fires in several areas in the state, including San Diego, Monterey, Kern, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo counties. However, authorities are concerned the damage is far from over. The traditional fire season, which brings along Santa Ana winds, is expected to occur in the fall.

Canterbury will get a $three million artificial track nobody requested for, Caravaggio was crushed, and one or two at Newcastle catch the eye.
First to Canterbury the place the Australian Turf Club introduced a fast-tracking of a Polytrack training floor, a 1300m stretch designed to reflect European circumstances and training tracks.
It all got here just a little bit out of the blue, and the $three million is definitely the most spent by the ATC in many years at Canterbury.
The factor is, nobody trains at Canterbury at present. While some feedback have been made that the floor could possibly be used a few times a month for higher horses from native trainers, there's actually no hiding that the funding is to draw internationals, the place Canterbury is for use for quarantine.
It's a $2307 per metre incentive for internationals, and seems fast-tracked to a minimum of sweeten the deal for Irish sprinter Caravaggio for the Everest race.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt Caravaggio was unbeaten till the weekend, the place he completed a reasonably meek fourth in the Group 1 July Cup. Godolphin's Harry Angel turned the tables to win that race, holding off Caravaggio who got here from the again on the robust Newmarket course to be round two lengths off the winner.
The tagline of unbeaten definitely had a pleasant ring to it and a win was imagined to e-book him a ticket to Australia, nevertheless it's nonetheless on the playing cards based on Coolmore.
All of this is available in the similar week membership chairman Laurie Macri confirmed to Fairfax that the ATC was prepared to rezone the racecourse, with no less than half an eye fixed wanting promoting it off utterly.
Macri justified each the new floor and the re-zoning via the following feedback:
"The plan is to make the most of our racing asset and the club remains committed to racing at Canterbury, but also we have a chance to future-proof our investment by rezoning," Mr Macri stated.
"We are a race club, but Canterbury is an asset, which we want to make the most of."
Spending $3m on a Polytrack for some worldwide horses whereas additionally contemplating how a lot cash could possibly be produced from placing up 18-storey flats on that very same track appears to be barely at odds. Hopefully I've misunderstood precisely what's occurring.
The drawback is the ATC haven't been on the entrance foot with this announcement. Four-time Golden Slipper-winning coach, Clarry Conners, who is predicated at Warwick Farm, gave the ATC a blast for a way uncared for Warwick Farm continues to be in the meantime, with the line "it's going to be used for five weeks by two horses."
The push for internationals continues by the ATC and the reasoning you need to provide you with by your self. Few would doubt that having the greatest in the world come down underneath can be a great factor, however when investments are made in that space in entrance of the locals, you'd anticipate the selections to return beneath scrutiny.
If the ATC need to develop into the worldwide racing capital of the world, they should categorical that as their plan and get all stakeholders on board.
Newcastle race may maintain a key for the spring
A winter maiden is a humorous race to discover a horse to comply with – however a race at Newcastle caught the eye on Saturday.
A two-year previous Maiden Handicap (1200m) noticed an enormous go on Peter and Paul Snowden's first-starter, Smartedge. The son of Smart Missle caught the eye in trials again in March earlier than being put away once more.
After leaping pretty, Smartedge overraced badly mid-race earlier than settling and searching the winner coming down the outdoors with 250m to go, however Chris Waller's D'Argento got here very late to seize the race on the line.
D'Argento, a primary starter for sire So You Think, additionally powered by means of a examine in the first a part of the race, not seen by the racecaller.
These races don't all the time imply a lot however each horses have pedigree and can look to contest respectable three-year-old races in the spring to return.

Christopher Lee's Main TV Roles
Main Movie Roles
Guest TV Roles[none found]
Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee CBE (May 27, 1922 ~ June 7, 2015) was an English actor, singer, author, and World War II veteran. With a career spanning nearly 70 years, Lee initially portrayed villains and became best known for his role as Count Dracula in a sequence of Hammer Horror films. His other film roles include Francisco Scaramanga in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), Saruman in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003) and The Hobbit film trilogy (2012–2014), and Count Dooku in the final two films of the Star Wars prequel trilogy (2002 and 2005).
Lee was knighted for services to drama and charity in 2009, received the BAFTA Fellowship in 2011 and received the BFI Fellowship in 2013. Lee considered his best performance to be that of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the biopic Jinnah (1998), and his best film to be the British horror film The Wicker Man (1973). He frequently appeared opposite Peter Cushing in Hammer Horror films, and late in his career had roles in six Tim Burton films.
Always noted as an actor for his deep strong voice, Lee was also known for his singing ability, recording various opera and musical pieces between 1986 and 1998 and the symphonic metal album Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross in 2010 after having worked with several metal bands since 2005. The heavy metal follow-up titled Charlemagne: The Omens of Death was released on 27 May 2013. He was honoured with the "Spirit of Metal" award at the 2010 Metal Hammer Golden God awards ceremony.
Lee had numerous parts in film and television throughout the 1950s but didn't achieve stardom until his association with Hammer Film Productions, which started with The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Dracula (1958), The Mummy (1959), and The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), all co-starring 'Peter Cushing'. Lee continued his role as "Dracula" in a number of Hammer sequels throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s. During this time, he made numerous appearances as Fu Manchu, most notably in the first of the series The Face of Fu Manchu (1965), and also appeared in a number of films in Europe. With his own production company, Charlemagne Productions, Ltd., Lee made Nothing But the Night (1973) and To the Devil a Daughter (1976). By the mid-1970s, Lee was tiring of his horror image and tried to widen his appeal by participating in several mainstream films, such as The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), The Three Musketeers (1973), The Four Musketeers (1974), and the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974).
The success of these films prompted him in the late 1970s to move to Hollywood, where he remained a busy actor but made mostly unremarkable film and television appearances, and eventually moved back to England. Lee's career was revitalized in the early 2000s by his appearances in two blockbuster film franchises: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) (as Saruman the White) and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) (as Count Dooku). In 2001, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his contributions to the film and television industries.
Lee was introduced to Danish painter and former model Birgit "Gitte" Krøncke by a Danish friend and his wife in 1960. They were engaged soon after and married on 17 March 1961. They had a daughter, Christina Erika Carandini Lee (b. 1963), who married Juan Francisco Aneiros Rodriguez in July 2001. Lee was also the uncle of the British actress Dame Harriet Walter. Both Lee and his daughter Christina provided spoken vocals on Rhapsody of Fire's album From Chaos to Eternity.
Lee died at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (June 7, 2015) at 8:30 am after being admitted for respiratory problems and heart failure, shortly after celebrating his 93rd birthday there. His wife delayed the public announcement until June 11, 2015 in order to break the news to their family.

You've heard the old adage that if their mouth is moving, they're lying. With the Muslim terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy and the "secret" CIA annex on the anniversary of 9/11, we heard it all. What a pack of lies that spewed out of our leaders. Believe it or not, I truly don't go in for conspiracy theories but I don't believe this falls into that category. That there were a lot of high level mistakes made leading to nothing short of tragedy. Then came the lies. I aspire to be a Patriot. I work at being a Patriot. As far as I'm concerned, don't mess with the good guys. When you dishonor or disrespect the very people who lay their lives on the line every day for our freedom, you're just downright stupid. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a truly amazing story. The beginning of the movie introduces the audience, one by one to a small group of former military personnel known as GRS, hired by the CIA to protect a covert compound in Benghazi, Libya. Some of the ex-soldiers are former Marines, one is an Army Ranger and the others are Navy Seals—just a handful of America's finest. After this docu-drama footage of the military introducing themselves, Jack, a former Marine, lands in Benghazi and is picked up at the airport by another soldier, nicknamed Rone. On the way to the compound they get trapped in an ambush. They call the CIA Chief who is unwilling to intervene in any way. After a tense few minutes, they talk their way out of it and proceed. When they finally arrive at the CIA annex, Rone confronts the CIA Chief who tells them flat out that the CIA and other Washington DC government bureaucrats, being smart Harvard and Yale graduates, cannot be bothered with the ex-military bodyguards. They are told, not so politely, that their presence isn't really needed. Later the team is sent to prepare the nearby United States Embassy outpost for the arrival of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, hired by the Obama Administration to oversee things in Libya in the wake of the overthrow of Libyan leader Moamar Qaddafi. The team goes and returns to report that the Embassy outpost is quite literally indefensible. On September 11th 2012, a massive, well planned and executed attack occurs on the Embassy outpost. The CIA Ivy Leaguers refuse to let the military team go to help, ordering them to "Stand Down." Soon, they tell the chief they're going whether he likes it or not. They arrive in the middle of chaos, the buildings are burning, some are dead, some are wounded and Ambassador Stevens has been taken. The fight eventually moves to the CIA compound. The terrorists, under the cover of night, outnumber them in forces and weaponry. It was quite literally, almost "The Alamo." 13 HOURS is a straight-forward true story: Just the facts and that's enough. It's a story or incredible bravery, reminiscent of the previous 9/11 fight for lives. You've heard the news reports, you may have even seen the interviews. I challenge you to go straight to the source. If 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi isn't still showing at a theater near you, I implore you to rent or buy it as soon as it is available on DVD. I assure you, you may be angry or dismayed, but you won't be disappointed. Definitely not for children. Tell me what you think. firstname.lastname@example.com

'An angel in disguise'
When a child is lost to violence on Boston's streets, Clementina Chťry is there

There are only a few hours before the wake for Luis Gerena , the 13-year-old boy shot to death in Jamaica Plain on Jan. 12, and Clementina Chéry is in a hurry.
The boy's aunt, Maida Jiminian, his 16-year-old sister, and two teenage cousins have arrived at Chéry's office at the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute , which assists the families of homicide victims. Chéry is helping them organize the funeral, but the programs aren't ready. In the flurry of preparations to bury the boy, no one can remember the address of the cemetery, they still haven't written the boy's obituary, and Jiminian has misplaced the tribute from Luis's mother.
Jiminian calls the boy's mother on her cellphone, while Chéry leaves a message for the priest. The girls, wearing T-shirts with Luis's picture on them and looking forlorn, find chairs in a corner of the office. Chéry sits at her computer and types. "When was he born?" she asks Jiminian, sounding businesslike.
"August 25, '93."
"What were his favorite foods?"
"He looooved pancakes," Jiminian says.
"Salami! Plantains!" the girls interject.
"OK, ladies, keep talking," Chéry says, her fingers moving fast. "Favorite games, favorite sports, hobbies?"
"His favorite sport was basketball," says his sister, Gardenia Jiminian.
"What else?"
"He was always outgoing."
"He loved the New York Yankees."
"He was funny and corny."
"He did not like to clean his room."
Chéry keeps typing: "He always wanted to put a smile on your face. Luis was never into gangs. He's never even been in trouble with the law. . ."
Over the next hour, she expertly composes an obituary, scans photos, and hands the information to her assistants, who proofread it and attach purple peace ribbons to the printed programs.
See more about Clementina Chéry and the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute on "The News at 9" tonight on NECN.
The operation is so efficient, so practiced, you could almost forget that the business at hand is the excruciatingly sad task of burying a child who was murdered, shot eight times near the Jackson Square MBTA station. Chéry knows this pain well: The greatest sorrow of her life is that 13 years ago her 15-year-old son, Louis, was shot to death on Geneva Avenue in Dorchester when he was caught in the middle of a gang-related shooting. He was on his way to a Christmas party sponsored by Teens Against Gang Violence.
But with the murders of children mounting in Boston, Chéry has to be pragmatic. "There is no protocol for murder," she says, which is why she's just completed a step-by-step "burial guide" for the families of people who have been murdered. Called "What to Do After Leaving the Hospital," the book is, in part, a how-to manual identifying 31 things that need to be done "from the time the body is identified," she says, "until the time you lay them to rest." It includes a sample media statement for reporters and a checklist of tasks: "Locate a safe place for friends of the victim to gather"; "select the burial clothing for the victim"; "choose photo for memorial buttons."
If there is no protocol for murder, there is protocol for event planning, and Chéry acknowledges that her book was based on a wedding planner.
"It's the same thing," she says. "Except it's not a festive occasion."
In any other place, staff members learning about a murdered child would be stunned and paralyzed, but at the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute the task of dealing with the fallout from the killings in Boston has become familiar.
"When homicides are back to back, it's nonstop in here," Chéry says. "Sometimes I feel like I'm the lady of death."
With a small staff -- three full-time, one part-time -- and a tight $207,000 budget dependent on donations and grants, the Peace Institute has a big agenda that includes violence prevention education, peace activism, and family support. It has developed a nonviolence curriculum for schools and a "Leadership Academy" to help survivors of homicide victims navigate the criminal justice system. It sponsors Massachusetts' Mothers on the Move , a program to bring together women who have lost children to murder, prison , or deportation. It organizes the annual "Mother's Day Walk for Peace" in Dorchester, a fund-raiser to increase awareness of homicide in Boston which will be held this year on May 13.
But less publicly, week in and week out, Chéry offers practical guidance to families in the harrowing hours after a murder as they prepare for a burial no one could ever imagine, where teenagers are buried with teddy bears, small children mourn their siblings, and eulogies are pleas for peace as much as they are tributes to those who died. She offers support, later, too, with the myriad complicated issues relating to a murder in the family -- everything from how to contact elected officials advising friends and relatives on how best to console the family.
"The collateral damage generated to family, friends, teachers -- the ripple effect -- goes right through a community," says Deputy Superintendent Daniel Coleman , chief of the police department's homicide unit. "My wish is that these kids [with guns] could just see the aftermath of what they have done."
When Louis was killed, Chéry says, she was blessed with friends who stepped in and handled the arrangements: "All I had to do was go to the morgue and identify his body." But as murders in Boston multiplied, she began to reach out to other mothers of victims, seeing that not everyone had a support system.
"Losing someone from natural causes is one grief, but losing someone at the hands of someone else is unspeakable," she says. "What makes it so unbearable is knowing that someone else is capable of killing someone you love. There is no way on God's earth that anyone can explain this to you and make you feel better."
Chéry estimates she has worked with families of more than 60 of last year's 74 murder victims -- 37 of whom were age 21 or younger -- plus nine of the 11 who have died so far this year, doing everything from writing obituaries to connecting families with services to arranging the funeral service and negotiating with churches to waive fees. (Families can apply to the Attorney General's Office of Victim Compensation and Assistance for up to $4,000 to help cover funeral and burial costs, but it's not enough. A typical funeral costs between $7,000 and $10,000, she says.)
Chéry also designs the funeral programs that have become familiar reading material in the churches of Boston's crime-ridden neighborhoods, with their loving tributes, messages of peace, and purple ribbons. They are handed out to mourners like theater Playbills. Only the cast of characters seems to change.
She is selective about the photographs for the programs, believing pictures can reinforce the message that victims are inevitably gang members rejected by society.
"We want to include family pictures; we want people to see this child was loved by a lot of people," Chéry says, as she sifts through family photos of Luis. One shows Luis posing affectionately with his sister Gardenia, who wrote, in her tribute: "When they told me that you passed away, I thought they were lying to me. Then I found out that it was true because I saw it on the news. I thought that my world was going down. My heart was so hurt it sunk to the floor. Your big sis' always loves you. . ."
Marisa Coleman says the Peace Institute offers a kind of "one-stop shopping" service that is unavailable anywhere else. "This was not a normal situation," says Coleman, whose younger brother Herman Taylor III , an 18-year-old student at Belmont High School, was shot last summer in Roxbury.
Coleman works in the same building as Chéry and directs a Dorchester agency called Social Capital Inc. that connects area residents with resources and opportunities to build a greater sense of community in Dorchester. Yet nothing in her experience prepared her for what she had to face when her brother died. "Even as someone who is already involved in the community, who is aware of the different issues plaguing our community, I just felt completely overwhelmed," she says. "You are talking about a young person whose life has been ended, and it's something very different from someone dying of natural causes. When my grandparents passed away, there was no media around, there weren't hundreds of young people coming by the house."
Nor were there assumptions being made about how or why they died. "I didn't want the perception that my brother was a gang member because he lived in one of the quote-unquote hot spots , " says Coleman, adding that the first news articles that were written about her brother didn't capture who he was as a person. "My parents own a home, Grove Hall is our community, and we are proud of it, and so was he. I really felt we as a family needed to have someone else come in and set the tone for what we were about to enter into, and give us some guidance."
Chéry advised the family to write a media statement for reporters. "We sat down as a family and thought about: What are the messages we want to get out in the community about him?" Coleman says. "We said he was more than a young black male from Dorchester. He was on a varsity basketball team from Belmont High School. He had a job. He was active in summer enrichment programs. It was very therapeutic for us, because it gave us the opportunity to come together and reflect on his life. But it also helped to change the way he was portrayed in the media."
Chéry's son Louis was murdered a block from where, years later, she would eventually base the Peace Institute, and you can feel his presence in the overcrowded second-floor offices in Field's Corner. Almost everywhere you look there's an image of him -- in a large framed picture, on the Institute's logo, in a small shrine in the hallway.
Yet Chéry, who attends Mass most days at noon so she can feel "centered," seems eternally calm and good-humored, and the office manages to project a cheerful chaos despite the business at hand. Smooth jazz is always playing on the stereo, and almost every surface is cluttered with inspirational books, stuffed animals, and plaques in her honor from community and civic associations.
When Louis was killed, Chéry was a stay-at-home wife and mother in Dorchester raising three children. (She and her husband divorced in 2005.) His death was an abrupt and unwelcome initiation into the hideous world of street violence. "Before my son was killed I really couldn't care about what was going on in the street," she says. "When Louis was killed, I just needed to prove something. It could happen to anybody."
Here at the Peace Institute, it seems to have happened to everybody. Down the hall, Chéry's colleague Janet Connors lost her 19-year-old son, Joel Turner , six years ago when he was stabbed to death in a Dorchester house invasion. The phone rings, and it's Monica Douglas from Milton, calling just to talk. Her 16-year-old son, Geoffrey , a talented artist and top student, was shot to death in 2001 at the Fields Corner MBTA station after two men tried to steal his gold chain. Chéry's longtime friend Patricia Cedeno-Zamor is an administrator and associate professor of social work at Wheelock College, who edited Chéry's burial guide: Both her mother and her brother were murdered.
Maida Jiminian, who works for a Newton-based billing and collection agency, says Luis is her fourth relative to be murdered. "I've been coming to Tina ever since 2002, when Malik was killed," she says matter-of-factly, referring to 3-year-old Malik Andrade Percival , who was shot in the neck during a home invasion in Dorchester. "I've come to her whenever unfortunately, in these circumstances, someone would die."
There is an almost surreal quality in the office in the days after a murder. Memorial buttons are efficiently cranked out with hand-operated machines -- "People have come to expect them," says Chéry -- and a new face is added to the traveling memorial button exhibit that hangs in the hallway.
The telephone rings constantly, often with calls from mothers who have lost a child before; this murder reminded them of their loss and they feel the need to connect with Chéry. "Sometimes Mrs. Mendes comes in here and lays on those chairs and starts wailing," Chéry says, referring to peace activist Isaura Mendes , who lost two sons to murder: Bobby was stabbed to death in 1995 near the Mendes home in Upham's Corner, and Alex, who was nicknamed Matthew, was gunned down last year near the same spot.
Charlene Perry has used the services of the Peace Institute twice -- her 20-year-old daughter, Analicia , was shot to death in Roxbury last summer, four years to the day after the murder of her son Robert. Chéry is "an angel in disguise," Perry says. "I am strong, but she is stronger. She has lost only one child, and I have lost two, but I can pull my strength from her because of the way she connects with people."
Chéry concedes the work has taken its toll on her. "It wears me down," says Chéry, who stopped going to funerals because they're draining and cause her to relive her own son's murder. Luis Gerena's death hit her hard, partly because his name reminded her of Louis's but also because she realized that Gerena was just an infant when Louis was killed, and children are still being murdered on Boston streets. "We have just failed our children so badly," she says.
She acknowledges that whenever there's a murder in the city, she fights the urge to go home and just sleep. "I stay still, and I pray. I ask God to please give me the strength," Chéry says. "Every single time."

James 1:19-27
The Soul Saving Word From God
Be Quick To Listen
"My beloved brethren, discern carefully. Let each person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry," (James 1:19).
2. Why does this speech about "anger" appear here in this text? It is because the text writes about trials and temptations in the first half of the chapter. [There are] various hardships and sufferings in reality that befall believers. When experiencing pain, anger will swell up within a person's heart. Especially more so when it is unfair and the other person is definitely the one to bring on the origin of suffering and pain, like in the case of persecution. Then, the swelling anger will start to move the tongue and then it forms a word and it shows itself outside. When the Bible says "be slow to speak" it is first talking in reference to the words of anger above all.
3. But, it is not always exactly clear to me. Is getting angry a sin to do? Should we never put our anger into words? Even if we let an injustice go unmentioned, are we just supposed to sit idly by and never say anything? Even when something is totally outrageously wrong, are we supposed to go along with it? Is this for the sake of the offending party? Is this for the sake of society?
4. This is a really tough question. Actually, there are a lot of injustices and unreasonable things. Recently I experienced a few troubles. Since I didn't deserve any of them, I naturally got mad. "This is preposterous!," I spouted, totally perturbed about it. Even without [these troubles when they come], it seems like there is more than enough to already be mad at in this ol' world of ours. We see and hear so much to get mad at, whether it relates to us personally or to someone else. But, far far in advance before that, today's passage of scripture had already settled on [this issue]. Though I have been mad all week, I had to prepare a sermon from this passage of scripture. I was really in a fix.
5. During this time, I just wanted to say, in spite of myself, "Didn't Jesus himself get mad?" The Bible does say, "Jesus made a whip from some cords, drove all the sheep and cows out from the temple grounds, and scattered the money of the moneychangers, and turned over their stands, and said to those selling doves, 'Carry these things of yours out of here. My father's house will not be made a house of merchants,'" (John 2:15-16). It is the famous passage of "The Temple Cleansing." I wanted to align myself with this passage of scripture. What about all of you out there?
6. But, the words from James continue as follows: "The anger of man does not bring the righteousness of God into fulfillment," (verse twenty). I couldn't help but stop before these words from the Lord. Nobody mad ever thinks "I am wrong" when they are mad. They're mad feeling, "I'm right." But, I would be hard put to answer upon being questioned, "So does your anger now bring the righteousness of God into fulfillment into this world?" Actually, the way I look when I am answering the telephone feeling annoyed is hardly a figure that is about to bring the fulfillment of God's righteousness into this world.
7. I realize this is my case. But, I would think everyone else here is the same way. We feel that we can say that "Getting angry is justifiable." If we can confidently claim, "My anger will be one that brings God's righteousness into fulfillment," then that would be okay. I think we could even make the case, "Didn't even Jesus get mad?" It is acceptable then if we can confidently claim that "My anger is an anger of the same quality as Jesus' anger." But, when we cannot say that, then we can't continue to assert the case for the justification of our anger, but we should instead turn our ears submissively to the words which the Bible gives. The Bible is speaking [to us] as follows: "Let each person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry." I cannot help but hang my head before these words from the Lord.
8. I really do think there is something we're supposed to do as we are in a world where sin is a ruler and unfair things run rampant. But, when our hearts are jammed up full with anger, can we really see what we're supposed to do? I don't think we can see [right]. Therefore, we cannot truly perform our duty. At that point the exhortation to "Be quick to hear" has some major significance for us. We must listen carefully before we speak. When we read the scriptures written after this, it will seem to speak even more than this passage about "we are to listen to the word of God." Above all, we must be quick to listen to God. When our anger is about to control our hearts, when our anger is trying to control our tongues, we first of all must incline our ears to the word of God for us at such [a time].
9. When we thus incline our ears to God's word, more often [than not] we will be able to see. The truth of the matter is that the first thing that must be taken away is not the wrong of the other person, but the wrong within me. Therefore, James says to us who are so quick to anger, "Thus, as you humble yourself cast off every defilement and wickedness that is filling you up and receive the word of God implanted into your heart." This "sin that is filling you up" is not the sin of someone else. It is "the sin that is filling up" inside the person who is angry. We must first deal with and dispose of that sin.
10. Then, we must receive God's word. "God's word is able to save your souls," says James. As I stated last week, the hardships and the sufferings of this world first work as a temptation. They work as a power that pulls a person away from God. When a person is filled with anger, without even knowing it the whole time during it, what happens is that a person is being separated and pulled away from God. When we are brandishing our own righteousness, we may be heading towards destruction within without our realizing it. When anger is put to use by the devil, it first becomes a thing of destruction for the angry person. The word of God is what saves the soul from such a harsh reality. The word of God has the power to save the soul. Therefore, we ought to be "quick to listen."
Become Doers Of God's Word
11. But, we must not be only listening. James adds, "Be doers of God's word. Do not deceive yourself by being a person who stops at only listening," (verse twenty-two).
12. For what reason in particular did James write this? Actually, he not only writes about "works" here, but he develops this theme later expending a great deal of words on it. Why [do you suppose he has written so much on it]? It was because there were so many people obviously "stopping at only listening." That is to say, it was because there were people neglecting at an excessive level this matter of "works."
13. Please look at chapter two and verse twenty-four. The scripture says, "As you will understand with this, a person is made righteous by works and not only through faith." As you read these words, are you not reminded of another statement in the scriptures? It is the statement from Paul of "The justifying of a person does not come from the works of the law, but from faith," (Romans 3:28). It is clear that James was writing fully aware of Paul's statement. Even further than that, more accurately put, I should say that he was "aware of the abuses of Paul's statements."
14. The justifying and the saving of a person is certainly "by faith." Salvation is not a reward for our works. A person is saved "by grace, through faith," (Ephesians 2:8). Even in our faith confession, we express it like this, "God forgives our sin and justifies us, by the faith in which we believe in Christ alone ... " Therefore, it is correct to agree with that.
15. But, as one can easily expect to see, the phrase "by faith," as for those who have accepted it, brings into being a people who take "works" lightly. It actually has produced them. But, that clearly goes against Paul's intentions. Therefore, in reply to this misunderstanding of Paul's words, James found it hard not to say "Faith and works cannot be divided from each other. Faith that does not include works is dead."
16. Regretfully, the church has still remained a place of "listening only" by those who divide faith and works and disregard works. As a result of that, we can read in this epistle that something truly sorrowful has been taking place in the church.
17. Originally when God's word was given and heard during a worship service, it was expected that a demand for obedience to God would always take place in the hearts of the people. Since it is a world in rebellion against God, whenever the word of God is given about this, at the least we'd expect it to be brought to light to the people there listening to it. But, they put the burden of the sermon on others as the ones who are being incited unto obedience. Deceiving themselves with all their might, they won't ever conform [to God's will]. -- Because there is no shortage of expressions to use to deceive oneself: "Hey, everybody's a sinner anyway." "Either way, our sins will be forgiven because of the cross of Christ." "A person isn't made righteous by his or her works anyway." Because that's exactly the way the real world is, James says, "Do not deceive yourself by being a person who stops at only listening."
18. I agree, we should not deceive ourselves. [We should not deceive ourselves] because we really do know the truth. We should know the truth that the reason Christ suffered on the cross, shed his blood, redeemed our sin, and intercedes to God the Father is in order that we do not remain in our sins. We should understand that we should not stop at only listening [to God's word]. Isn't that right? For, we should not deceive ourselves.
19. "Be a doer of God's word." It seems that it was the following words of Jesus, with which we are familiar, that James had on his heart when he had said to be doers of God's word: "Thus, everyone who hears and does these words of mine resembles the wise person who built his house upon the rock. The rains fell down, the rivers flooded, and the winds blew, and though it attacked his house, it did not fall. For, it had a rock for its foundation. Everyone who only hears and does not do these words of mine resembles the foolish person who built his house upon the sand. When the rains fell down, the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and they attacked his house, it fell, and the way it fell was terrible," (Matthew 7:24-27).
20. The Lord knew it all the way that the faith life style, which is missing the living elements of hearing Christ's words and listening obediently to them, was a house build upon the sand, even though it might look so nice, and seem so respectful, and appear so fervent, it would not be able to ultimately bear up to the storms. The Lord does not will that we topple and fall. The Lord wills that our church and our faith life in it be a house built upon the rock. "Be doers of the Word."
