Mayor Mitchell will hold neighborhood office hours for the month of November this Thursday, November 30, 2017 5:30 p.m. -7:00 p .m. at the Wilks Library, 1911 Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford.

Last fall, Mayor Mitchell announced he would set aside time each month to hold office hours in city neighborhoods so that residents could meet with him outside of normal business hours and in their own neighborhood.

City residents are invited to attend the neighborhood office hours to meet with Mayor Mitchell directly and share their concerns and ideas. The sessions are open to all New Bedford residents, no advance appointments are required and meetings with the Mayor will be done on a first come, first served basis.

Due to expected wind chill for this evening, the overflow will be opened tonight. By 7pm this evening the temperature will be 36 degrees but it will feel like 28 degrees. By 11pm it will feel like 22 degrees. This puts us in the parameters to activate the emergency shelter. Guests are expected to arrive at Sister Rose by 6pm and the cut off time will be 8:45pm Our capacity is 25 guests and it’s a first come, first serve basis. Any inquires can be forwarded to 1-800-homeless or Sister Rose House.

Have a child who would love to get a letter from Santa? The Oliveira’s on 4371 Acushnet Avenue are collecting letters for Santa until Dec. 16.

I hear often on social media, “who cares what two consenting adults do?” anytime prostitution is brought up on New Bedford Guide’s Facebook page. The idea that prostitutes in New Bedford, or in America, are consenting adults is a myth and is a lazy way to look the other way or even condoning the sex trade.

I served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and visited or lived in 22 different countries. The Air Force takes prostitution seriously and educates their personnel with briefings when they visit areas with high prostitution. When you get stationed in countries like Thailand or South Korea, there is required training on human trafficking and sexually transmitted diseases. Showing slides of STDs on faces and genitals is generally enough to scare the soldiers to think twice when hiring a prostitute. There is also the human side.

Human trafficking is real and hundreds of thousands of women, and some cases men, are forced into prostitution. Girls in poor countries are lured into the prostitution world through ads in their local papers with false offers of real jobs. In Thailand and much of Europe it’s clear-cut, the governments officially or unofficially condone prostitution, but in most countries prostitution is an underground trade.

In places like New Bedford, you’ll find working girls controlled by pimps and usually a need to feed their addiction. Either way, prostitutes are far from consenting adults in the way they are in Amsterdam where the woman have unions and get government protection.

As long as there is poverty and addiction there will be prostitution – especially when men continue to demand it. It’s important to educate yourself on why most prostitutes sell their body to strange men for so little money. When you are on social media condoning prostitution as “two consenting adults,” you are contributing to the sex trade. Men need to learn that it is not acceptable, in real life or on social media, if we are to end prostitution in our area and get these women the help they need.

Shortly before noon today Trooper Joseph Gray, a member of the Massachusetts State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section, was traveling on Massachusetts Avenue in Boston when he observed a man and a woman walking toward the intersection with Northampton Street.

Trooper Gray recalled seeing a photo of apparently the same woman on a Quincy Police social media page, where she was featured as a suspect involved in the recent assault and robbery of a 92-year-old woman in that city. That suspect was identified by Quincy Police as KAYLA NOEL-BROWN, 26, of Quincy.

Trooper Gray reversed his direction at the next intersection to get a closer look at the woman. After confirming a striking resemblance to the suspect photo, he exited his cruiser and approached the pair. The suspect wanted in the Quincy assault

The woman identified herself as “Nancy Brown” of Quincy. Trooper Gray contacted Quincy Police Detective A.J. Carthas, and then queried a photo of assault suspect KAYLA NOEL-BROWN. The photo of suspect KAYLA NOEL-BROWN matched the woman standing in front of Trooper Gray who had given her name as Nancy Brown.

Trooper Gray advised the woman and the man of their Miranda rights. Further investigation at the scene revealed that the man with BROWN as MARKELL CRUZ, 27, Somerville

Quincy Police responded to the scene and took custody of NOEL-BROWN and CRUZ. They were transported to the Quincy and, following further investigation, Quincy detectives determined that both were involved in the Nov. 19 assault and robbery of the elderly woman.

Quincy Police charged both NOEL-BROWN and CRUZ with unarmed robbery of an elderly person, assault and battery on an elderly person, and conspiracy to commit a crime. They are being held on bail at the Quincy Police Station and are expected to be arraigned Monday in the Quincy District Court.

On Sunday, November 26, 2017 at approximately 4:35 a.m., Dartmouth Police, and other emergency personnel, responded to the area of #251 Barney’s Joy Road for a reported single vehicle crash.
Upon arrival, officers located the operator of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta, and identified him as Jay PATEL, 22, of New Paltz, New York, as well as his passenger, identified as Edward BOWLES, 31, of Millis, Massachusetts.

As a result of injuries they sustained during the crash, both parties were transported to St. Luke’s Hospital, where BOWLES passed away a short time later.

The crash in currently under investigation by members of the Dartmouth Police Department Crash Reconstruction Unit, Dartmouth Police Detective Division, and Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Bristol County D.A.’s Office.

If I was forced to describe New Bedford in one word, I would select apathetic. Apathy is defined as “lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern,” and that describes much of the New Bedford population very accurately. It’s the root cause of most of New Bedford’s problems, especially crime.

First, there is an extreme lack of interest in politics in New Bedford. While most voting age residents are registered to vote, very few do and most politicians from the municipal to the state level run unopposed. When was the last time someone ran against Tony Cabral or Mark Montigny? In 2013, New Bedford mayor Jon Mitchell ran unopposed. Most of your ward City Councillors run unopposed or face weak opposition. How do you expect things to change if the leadership doesn’t?

Second, while New Bedford residents are very concerned about crime on social media, there is a large segment of the population that looks away when crime occurs. “No snitching” is a problem in the worst neighborhoods of the city. The bigger issue of drugs, prostitution and violent crime have become an acceptable way of life on some streets. The police and politicians can only do so much – residents stepping up to clean their own streets is the only true way to clean up a bad neighborhood.

Third, while there are some great residents that step up to make their community better, too many don’t. Complaining on social media about a dirty street is easier than actually organizing and participating in a clean up. It seems to be the same amazing people that organize and participate in the clean ups and the same people that complain on social media while doing nothing impact in real life.

Fourth, too many New Bedford parents lack interest in their children’s lives. Too many teenagers are out late at night past responsible hours and very few parents show up to important school meetings. It’s embarrassing seeing a dozen parents at New Bedford High School public forums with a student body of over 2,000 students. Involved parents and keeping kids active in healthy activities are the only real ways to prevent kids hanging out with the wrong crowds.

Finally, once the citizens and police do their job, it’s up to the judges that sit in the New Bedford court rooms to take sentencing seriously. No criminal fears the New Bedford judicial system, it’s one big joke. It’s tough to convince people in bad neighborhoods to report crime if the judges just release them the next day. It’s the good people in the bad neighborhoods that have to live with the criminals and the revenge they take on “snitches.”

Remove the apathy from New Bedford and you’ll remove much of the crime. When our youth have involved parents, adults are active in their political process, judges take sentencing seriously, and residents take pride in their neighborhood, things will improve.

We posted a video on our Facebook page showing a man pushing the notion that addiction is not a disease and that by calling addiction a disease you are enabling users. The arguments that followed in the comment section mostly fought over the question, is addiction a disease? Most people missed the main point of the video – that addiction is a choice and for this article I’ll call addiction a disease by choice.

By the exact definition of the word, a drug addict has a disease. Per Webster dictionary online:

“A condition of the living animal or plant body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning and is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms or a harmful development.”

It’s hard to argue by that definition that addiction isn’t a disease, but the point of the video is that by classifying addiction in the same light as cancer, it’s actually harmful to the addict by giving them an excuse – it’s not your fault, you have a disease. You can’t simply choose to stop having cancer, but you can right away choose to stop using a drug. Millions do it every day, by never trying addictive drugs or by deciding to not use them any longer. The vast majority of us choose not to take that first hit. There isn’t a drug addict alive today that didn’t know heroin was addictive before putting that first needle in their arm. That’s not the case with most wide-spread diseases. One could live a healthy lifestyle and be diagnosed with cancer – lung cancer kills a lot of non-smokers and so many cancers are hereditary.

Addiction is a disease by choice. Never in the history of mankind has a drug addict become addicted without trying the drug. You will never go to bed a non-addict, never have tried heroin, and wake up suddenly addicted to heroin. You are hit on the head over and over about the dangers and addictive qualities of hard drugs, yet people still choose that first hit. The main difference between an addicted drug user and a non-user is addicts decided to take that first hit. It’s that simple.

Some will say, “but Mike, you aren’t a doctor, how can you even have an opinion?” Well, while I respect most doctors, hospital errors are the third leading cause of death in U.S. – killing 440,000 Americans annually. Pharmaceutical companies and doctors also played a major role in creating the opioid crisis by over prescribing opioids. History shows doctors recommending cigarettes and telling us that with a huge marketing campaign in the 90’s that opioid pain medication wasn’t addictive. And who is making money curing addicts? Doctors. I appreciate and love what most doctors do, but let’s not act like they are the only ones entitled to an opinion on addiction.

Many people who have had family members die from cancer get upset when people call addiction a disease. They’ve seen young children die from a disease they had no choice in getting. They also see drug addiction as a choice and it is. For every drug addict that chooses to use drugs for depression, I can show you thousands of people equally depressed that found other ways to cope. Drug addiction is the easy way out and friends and family members ease the burden by classify drug use as a disease as to shift blame – my brother is an addict because of a disease, not by his choice. As the video states, that’s enabling and allowing the addict to push away any personal responsibility and truly end his addiction.

That’s not to say that drug addicts don’t deserve our love and help. No one should suffer a lifetime of suffering based on a bad choice, bad disease choice to be exact.

A former Massachusetts man pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court in Boston to possessing and distributing child pornography and to failing to register as a sex offender. The offenses stem from two separate cases.

Scot Letourneau, 44, formerly of Quincy and Maine, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography; and in a separate case, he pleaded guilty to failure to register as a sex offender. U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper scheduled sentencing for Feb. 27, 2018.

In early 2015, law enforcement officers learned that an individual was trading images of child pornography on Kik Messenger, an instant messaging application, with an individual in Connecticut. Further investigation linked the Kik Messenger account to Letourneau. On May 21, 2015, a search warrant was executed at Letourneau’s home, when a preliminary review of his cellphone revealed that he exchanged images of child pornography with others. Forensic analysis revealed that Letourneau had a collection of approximately 103 videos and more than 500 images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct and acts.

After he was arrested and charged in May 2015, the government sought to detain Letourneau pending trial based on his prior convictions, including a 2004 conviction in Cheshire County Superior Court for distribution of child pornography. However, on Aug. 5, 2015, the court released Letourneau on an electronic bracelet and home confinement in Maine. On Nov. 3, 2015, Letourneau fled to New Mexico; he was apprehended in Denver in March 2017.

In addition, as a result of his 2004 conviction for distribution of child pornography in New Hampshire, Letourneau is required to register as a sex offender, which he failed to do while living in New Mexico as a fugitive under an alias.

Due to Letourneau’s previous child pornography conviction, the current charge of distribution of child pornography provides for a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and no greater than 40 years in prison; and the charge of possession of child pornography provides for a mandatory minimum of 10 years and no greater than 20 years in prison. Both charges provide for a mandatory minimum of five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. The charge of failure to register as a sex offender provides for no greater than 10 years in prison, a mandatory minimum of five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb, U.S. Marshal John Gibbons for the District of Massachusetts and Michael Shea, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston made the announcement today. Assistance was also provided by the U.S. Marshals Service for the District of Colorado; the Adams County (Colo.) Sheriff’s Department; Connecticut State Police; Quincy Police Department; and U.S. Coast Guard. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.

The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. In 2006, the Department of Justice created Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
