During morning and afternoon sessions, incarcerated individuals had the opportunity to meet with representatives from nearly a dozen businesses, staffi ng agencies and unions to learn about post-release employment opportunities. “Individuals reentering the community at the conclusion of their incarceration face signifi cant hurdles,” said Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian. “Ensuring returning citizens have access to meaningful employment, stable housing, treatment programs and educational opportunities are keys to reducing recidivism and enhancing public safety. This job fair builds upon our existing initiatives designed to help support individuals both during their time with us and post-release.” In advance of the job fair, incarcerated individuals who signed up to participate in the event worked with MSO staff on interview skills and resume development. Individuals who already had resumes had the opportunity to update them, while staff worked with those who did not to build new ones. “I want to thank all those who participated in our inaugural job fair, from the staff who organized it to the incarcerated individuals and, most importantly, those who spent the day educating participants about future opportunities,” said Koutouijan. “We look forward to making this a regular event in years to come.” Currently, the MSO is in the process of planning a follow-up job fair for formerly incarcerated individuals in the spring. Entities interested in participating in this or other future job fairs may contact MSO Assistant Superintendent Josh Bowdridge at 978-932-3220 for more information.

Okay, let’s go over the list once more – the top 200 best basketball players I have played against in Malden during my playing days. We’ll go 50 at a time in no particular order. Remember, this list is not a 1-200 best to not the best. Just random names, the last 50 names: Earl McAllistar, Sean Leonard, Sandy Mathews, Steve Carlin, Mike & Joe Cook, Frank Wright, “Mac” Singleton, Senator Ed Markey, Paul “Flash” Norton, John Crockwell, Jimmy “Moe” Molinari, Dean Trioli, Kevin Nolan, Larry Kinnon, Jeff Hurley, Chipper Moore, Jamie McKenna, Larry Gilbert, Frankie Hanley, Dennis, Kevin & Billy Murray, Glenn Patterson, Joe Strum, Benny Talbot, Mark Foley, Robbie Buckley, Johnny Salmon, Jimmy & Danny Guerin, Larry Goldstein, Joe “Bagz” Pagliccia, Gary & Mike Cherone, Franny & Joe Repucci, Bernard & Milton Stroud, Marty Grasso, Alan Small, Dennis Fitzpatrick, Albert “Junior” Ford, Jackie Torosian, Jay Griffi n, Jackie Guerin, Tommy Ruddock, “Jumpin” Jimmy Lloyd, Steve Carpenter, Mario Borseti & Joey Frauton. “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end...” Hard to believe it’s been 12 years (Nov. 17, 2007) since Preacher Jack held his record release party at the Plough & Stars on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge. The Cow Island Music off ering – “Pictures from Life’s Other Side” – was met with critical success but failed to sell in this fractured musical world we live in today (and in 2007). The Boston Globe, Herald and Phoenix praised the CD, but it just wasn’t enough to move the dial on sales. The record release party was honky-tonk heaven with Nate Gibson and his Gashouse Gang setting the stage early in the evening with an excellent opening set. If you’d like a copy of Jack’s CD contact me; I’ll get one to you “on the house” as the saying goes. Also, please remember Jack during the holiday season, a time of the year he loved dearly. Jack is still alive and kicking and accepting visitors – presently residing at his winter residence, Tewksbury State Hospital – if you’d like to visit.
