Mayor Jon Mitchell and members of the New Bedford Complete Count Committee officially launched New Bedford Counts, the City’s 2020 Census efforts as the count gets underway starting today, March 12, 2020.

Last year at Mayor Mitchell’s direction, the City of New Bedford, in a comprehensive effort to ensure the entire population of the City is accurately counted in the 2020 Census, formed the New Bedford Complete Count Committee, a public-private partnership composed of 18 members (with 13 drawn from the community and 5 from City government).

The City also hired its first Census Outreach Coordinator, Lynn Coish, last year to organize the City’s focus on the Census. For the past 12 years, Ms. Coish worked for the Buzzards Bay Coalition as administrative assistant and volunteer coordinator. For the past 14 years, she has also served as the team leader of Operation Clean Sweep in New Bedford.

Census website launched
The Census is critical to all New Bedford residents. Census numbers directly affect the amount of funding the federal government directs towards New Bedford. The City has launched a Census website, www.newbedford-ma.gov/census, and will include reminders on radio, social media, and beyond for residents to receive important information about the Census.

Respond by May 12
The Census is here: it will begin arriving in the mail in New Bedford and nationwide over the next two weeks, beginning today. The self-response period ends May 12, so residents should complete their Census online, by mail, or by phone by that date. From May 13 through July 31, Census workers will visit neighborhoods across New Bedford and the country to follow up with those who have not yet filled out their forms. Residents may still respond on their own during this period, but may receive a knock on their door from Census workers.

The Census is easy! Fill it out online, by mail, or by phone

The Census forms residents receive in the mail will include instructions on how to fill out the Census online, by mail, or by phone. It consists of a few simple questions to ensure everyone in the household is counted.

Help Centers and assistance available to City residents
As part of the New Bedford Counts effort, 25 Census Help Centers are also available across the city. These include the City’s five library branches and more locations. The full list is available at www.newbedford-ma.gov/census.

The Census affects funding and representation
Conducting an accurate Census is critical to ensuring that New Bedford gets its fair share of federal for the people, services and projects in the city. If individuals are not counted, important programs that city families rely on will not be adequately funded – for the next ten years.

These programs include:

• School funding (Title I)
• Hospitals/Medicaid funding
• Childcare subsidies and more

According to the Massachusetts Census Equity Fund, every person counted means $2,372 in federal funding (average state-level figure). Mid-size cities including New Bedford are among the hardest to count in Massachusetts, and New Bedford is at significant risk of being undercounted in the 2020 Census. That’s why it’s of the utmost importance that New Bedford residents fill out their Census forms.

In addition, the results of the Census are used to reapportion the U.S. House of Representatives, determining how many congressional seats each state is assigned. The Census results in the redrawing of boundaries of congressional and state legislative districts to account for population shifts.

The Census is confidential
City residents should know that their privacy is protected in the Census process. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share residents’ information or answers with any other government agency. It is a federal crime to release census information; information is used for statistics only.

Members of the New Bedford Complete Count Committee include:

• Mayor Jon Mitchell
• Helena DaSilva Hughes of the Immigrants’ Assistance Center – Co-Chair
• Rev. David Lima of the Inter-Church Council of Greater New Bedford – Co-Chair
• Corinn Williams of the Community Economic Development Center
• Adrian Ventura of the Centro Communitario Trabajadores
• Rev. Tony Youssef of Our Lady of Purgatory Church
• Rev. Robert Hughes
• Olivia Melo, Director of the New Bedford Library system
• Marci-Pina Christian, New Bedford Department of Community Services
• Patrick Sullivan, Director of City of New Bedford Housing and Community Development
• Manny DeBrito, City of New Bedford Election Commissioner
• Derek Santos, Executive Director of the New Bedford Economic Development Center
• Thomas Anderson, Superintendent of New Bedford Public Schools
• William Burns, Director of Government & Community Affairs for Southcoast Health
• Rick Kidder, CEO of the Southcoast Chamber of Commerce
• John Vasconcellos, President of the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts
• Carl Alves, Executive Director of PAACA
• Pam Kuechler, Executive Director of PACE

For more information on how you can get involved with the New Bedford Complete Count Committee, contact Lynn Coish at 508.979.1410 or lynn.coish@newbedford-ma.gov.

Did you grow up in the 1980s or 1990s and have fond memories of spending a day at places like “The Dream Machine” playing games like Dig-Dug, Robotron, Centipede, Pac-Man, and others? Well, you’ll soon be able to take a stroll down memory lane and bring out that little kid inside.

Fairhaven residents Lauren and Adam Katz will be taking over downtown New Bedford’s Slainte Irish Pub and re-open the location as a coin and token operated 80-90s arcade with a kitchen, bar, function rooms, sidewalk seating, as well as the rooftop seating the Irish Pub was known for.

The husband and wife duo will feature dozens of stand-up arcade machines, skeeball, a bar offering among other things dozens of craft beers on tap, as well as a yet to be determined menu. Have a birthday, anniversary, work party or other special events to celebrate? You can utilize one or both function rooms which seat up to 50 people.

While the idea of an arcade will, of course, attract a younger crowd, anyone 18 or under will have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian up to 8:00pm, at which time it’s “Sorry kids! Game over.”

The Katzes are gunning for a Memorial Day opening pending approval by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission and transfer of the liquor license.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell released the following statement after the passing of U.S. Army Pfc. Justin Kirby, a New Bedford native:

“I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family of U.S. Army Pfc. Justin Kirby, a New Bedford native who was killed Monday in a training exercise at Fort Irwin, California.

Justin’s service to our Nation reflected his deep commitment to a cause larger than himself and the values of his family of public servants. It is my hope that the gratitude and reverence of our City for Justin’s dedication and patriotism may bring some measure of comfort to Justin’s family as they mourn his sudden loss.

I have ordered the flags at all City buildings to be flown at half-staff in his honor.” –Mayor Jon Mitchell

A Massachusetts State Police K9 team yesterday morning located and captured a man who stabbed a co-worker at the produce center in Wakefield where they worked. Trooper Daniel Purtell and his partner Neko tracked the suspect through thick brush, reeds, and water in a swamp where he was attempting to hide and apprehended him at approximately 9:30 a.m.

The sequence of events leading to the capture began at approximately 8:35 a.m. Tuesday, when State Police were notified that Wakefield Police had responded to a stabbing at Produce Connection on Audubon Road. The suspect had fled into a wooded and swampy area adjacent to Audubon Road.

Among the MSP units that responded to assist in the search were Trooper Purtell and Neko, who deployed on a track. Neko led his handler into thick woods and a swamp, and they crossed through chest-deep water and heavy brush that made visual observation difficult. Within a short time, Neko began pulling aggressively and displayed a proximity alert; Trooper Purtell issued two verbal commands telling the suspect to surrender but got no response.

At that point, Neko, who was out ahead of the Trooper, stopped pulling, and Trooper Purtell crashed through the brush and reeds, while still in waist-deep water, to reach Neko’s location. When he reached the dog he observed Neko had bitten onto the suspect’s pants as the man was trying to hide. Trooper Purtell ordered the suspect to show his hands and immediately removed Neko from the suspect’s clothing and, along with backup Trooper Scott Hayes, placed the suspect in custody and escorted him from the swamp.

The suspect, identified as ELVIN GUTIERREZ, 34, of Chelsea, was examined by an EMS unit, which determined no treatment was necessary.

The victim, a 25-year-old male, suffered non-fatal injuries stab and slash wounds and was transported to Lahey Clinic from the stabbing scene.

Wakefield Police, who have jurisdiction over the investigation, charged GUTIERREZ with assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and outstanding warrants and he is being prosecuted by the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office.

The Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit and Fitchburg Police detectives, as part of an investigation, Monday night executed a search warrant at a second-floor apartment at 38 Green St. in Fitchburg, which led to the arrest of the target of the investigation and the seizure of an illegally-possessed rifle and ammunition.

At approximately 8 p.m. Monday, the Massachusetts State Police Special Tactical Operations Team, the Department’s specialized high-risk entry and arrest unit, made entry into the apartment. Troopers immediately determined that the target of the investigation, LAWRENCE H. SCOTT, 21, of that address, was not present.

SCOTT, however, arrived at the address while members of the MSP Gang Unit and K9 Section and Fitchburg detectives were executing the search warrant. When he observed police outside the residence, he ran off. Troopers and Officers located SCOTT a short time later behind a Water Street building and arrested him without incident.

During the search of the apartment, police located and seized an SKS assault rifle with a high-capacity magazine containing 21 7.62 rounds of ammunition, an additional loose 7.62 round, and a plastic bag containing two .40 caliber rounds and 18 9mm rounds.

Troopers charged SCOTT with the following offenses:

1. Illegal possession of a firearm;
2. Illegal possession of ammunition;
3. Possession of a large-capacity feeding device; and
4. Improper storage of a firearm.

SCOTT was transported to State Police-Leominster, where he was booked. He was expected to have been arraigned yesterday in Fitchburg District Court.

“We are looking for the public’s help to identify these males who are wanted for questioning and are suspects in breaking and entering into several businesses in town.

These are screenshots of video. Best we could do at this time but we’ll work on better images.”

If you recognize these men please call the Fairhaven Police Department at (508) 997-7421.” -Fairhaven Police Department.
