drills the kids in their classrooms yes they do and he said it's unfortunate but this is what it's come to and you know they're going to continue to look at this the security to make sure that it's safe and belmont has up security in that area as well in the fear is that there is there has been a growing number of anti semitic there definitely has it was reported in the new york times it's very high in the synagogue is also going to host or help organize a community gathering they are everyone's been asking how can we help what can we do so the rabbi said what i what we'd really like people to do is to commit an act of justice intentional act of justice compassion or healing and then they want to share these acts at a special service for all religions on  will be a nice pretty thanksgiving service for all religions let's talk about some problems that we've had the most and restaurants yes i have be you students who are journalists and setting to be journalists and they did some investigative reporting on their own mind you and they found a board of health violations involving roaches at two local restaurants el centro and in the past year they found that those restaurants were temporarily closed because the board of health when they did an inspection found evidence of roaches but the good news is that our board of health is keeping a close eye on our belmont restaurants to make sure that they're clean and safe for diners and the fact that these restaurants were temporarily closed doesn't mean that they are unsafe to eat i would say that if i would be the cleanest restaurants in belmont at this point or the most pest free at this point so it's just an issue that any restaurant could have but you have to treat you have to treat and then go away and it's nice to know that the board of health been watching out for betty and absolutely are definitely are we have been speaking today who is the multimedia journalist for the belmont since and her belmont's online and print source of news you can read about these stories in more in the belmont citizen hero both in the print edition in on line belmont we could local dot com welcome to this week in the bellman tony i have with me today franklin tucker the editor and publisher of the belmont tony and belmont's online source for hyper local news thanks for stopping of or thank you for having me there is a town meeting coming up and one of the st issues town meeting will address is the belmont high school that's right tom meeting will be three major items one will be there exclusion for the high school and then there is also to buy a lot of the only by law measures one for mary i want to use and the other one is going to be about the let's say the reason the redevelopment of south street let's start with that the high school because the high school in town meeting really will flow from what happens on election day this coming school measure will pass simply because they have had an organized yes program yes campaign if there's any no votes there very quiet and a lot of that has to do with what people would come up to me i would say well be more vocal about my no vote but i don't want to be ostracized by my neighbors and it's true you know so you have a motivated group of people who are you know standing out with signs putting out these great leave very innovative internet  campaign they know who they need to get on the back to vote they're getting them to vote i still think it's going to be a little closer than many people think but i think it will pass simply because you do have an organized campaign a very apocalyptic type of approach towards schooling for the next ten to twenty years which will mean a lot of modulars a lot of basically putting lipstick on a pig which is a high school you know you have to read this to get it to be certified by the town it would take a lot of money for spastics removal and just upgrades it's just kind of funny  for marijuana being placed in the town is that lawful well it is but it would have to go to the attorney general the state attorney general to approve it but there's one catch with that and  were still studying it well the planning board a stone all the studying that it could you know it's it has declared where it wants to go the hours and you know and they've drawn a map it really is there's no need for mor and it's unlikely that the state would approve it ok and then let's talk about community path dollars because the town meeting will be asked to appropriate the preservation act money that's right so it's a fast track  we're having a request because the state would really like to see the community pass and one part of that community path a very small part but a very important part is the alexander avenue underpass which was which will cost about four hundred thousand dollars just for the design because it would cost about four million dollars to do it itself but it apparently the state is willing to put a letters stating well i mean the state i mean the apartment of transportation in the been speaking with franklin tucker editor and publisher of the bellman tony and belmont's on line source for hyper local news here's jane peters with a look at what there is to do in belmont in the coming week inner segment jane sits down with catherine bond figlio of belmont against racism to talk about an upcoming event sponsored by belmont against racism hi everybody and welcome to your community calendar for this week we have a guest are calling it joining the circle because the belmont police department is joining twenty two other communities as well as the suffolk and middlesex district attorney's office in participating with communities for restored of justice and communities for restoring justice is a nonprofit and it provides restored of justice option to in response to a crime and so because we're joining o ne of the reasons why we're interested we're also interested in just curious how restored of justice work yeah yeah sure a lot of people are to yeah and we're interested in hearing from other folks who have  restorative justice in their practice great can you give us a quick and fast simple as simple as they can be explanation of what we're sort of justice is so we're sort of justice is a tool that is used for keeping community safe and keeping offenders out of the criminal justice circle dialogues and in those you bring the stakeholders together so the offender and the victim in a safe environment and the victim gets to have a straw unvoiced to determine how the harm should  be repaired ok so that's sort of the basis of it it adds another tool for law enforcement to use when it's determined appropriate and the nice thing that we're seeing is that the data is showing a rea refined and a lot higher level of satisfaction from the victims when this is you ok ok so and this is something that the belmont police department is looking to implement yes they're in the process of training right now oh great ok so can you talk a little bit about who's going to be at the panel to discuss how we're really excited because we have quite an impressive panel of expertise our state senator william brownsburg or he's chairperson of the joint committee on the judiciary and senator brownsburg was a kid to the recent criminal justice reform in arc in our state and there is a section on restorative justice so he'll be addressing that we have aaron free born she's the executive director of communities restored of justice or she'll set the stage for us about what it is and how it's practiced belmont police chief richard mclaughlin will tell us how training is going and what how they're going to be using it here in belmont arlington police chief fred ryan who's a strong proponent of community restored of justice they use restored of justice in arlington or so we're going to hear how it's been used and so we're really excited to have him middle sixty's strict attorney marian ryans who is going to be talking about it from the middlesex district perspective and representative from sh so you can see we have a lot of law enforcement expertise here and we really hope the community comes out to hear them great and so your city said that the balance police department is already in training for learning how to implement this is this event  just people in the public to learn about what this is going to look like or what's really the goal yeah i think primarily it's two it's so new to some and to so many of us i think we need to sort of learn more about it and we're also curious to see how it can be used in other institutions some communities the schools use it so i'm also curious to see in a more sort of broader perspective how it could be an instrument in different ways great well this sounds like a really interesting and informational panel they are going to be unforgettable group of young athletes who battled in the legendary harvard

we want to say a very happy birthday to francesco antony no revolver who just turned one hundred this week happy birthday to you from all of us at belmont journal belmont highest performing arts center will be presenting shakespeare's two gentlemen of rona as their fall high school play to him a juvenile stopped in and some of the rehearsals and talk with both the director and some of the for two gentlemen of our inspiration for this was that we're trying to create a cityscape we're trying to really get that feel of the density of the city with one unit set which means nothing moves that can also transform to be two different cities and the woods so our goal was to think of how to make things that are changeable and can be interpreted multiple ways and to be lit interesting in order to create different effects we're covering one building with ivy because when you're in the woods we can light it more green and then it's just like a space that's kind of textured uncovered in ivy or making a cafe which is so city oriented and when we're in the smaller city there's lots of laundry and there's not as many cafe tables out and so that's our main inspiration our color palettes very intaglio inspired and that's about it i think it's important for people to see the show because there are some changes that ha from the original version and i think they're very timely changes that sort of reflect what has how we have learned to address different issues such as women's rights and just treating people in general and with respect from lately we've been times to current present day
