DISTRICT 4 CRIME STATS FROM Lt. San Lucas
Attached you will find the crime stats for the past few weeks. August was a busy time for the Police Dept when most of the resources were geared for the different Festivities in the City, this area did see a small rise of crime but many apprehensions were made. I returned from vacation to find that there were several robberies which were quickly solved with apprehensions and then individual felony assaults which stemmed from feuds. We quickly identified the areas that needed more patrol and provided them, reducing the B&Es, Larcenies from Mvs, and MV Thefts. This past week though was a great week in which this District did not experience any Violent Crime,..we had 2 reported B&Es and one of them was the cleaning person which the landlord had let in, and Ptlmn Dalton and Ptlwmn Randolph made an excellent arrest of 2 subjects who were from the Southside area of Providence who had broken into several cars on the Eastside , Ives St and Wickenden St , then biked their way to Federal Hill where they were apprehended in possession of 4 GPS. The owners were tracked down and the culprits were charged.
This week, the probationary officers will be walking footpost in District 2, 4, and 7. I have recommended that they be placed in the Almy St, Ring St, Cranston St Althea St Hanover St areas as well as some hours on Atwells Ave. Sgt Goldsboro who head the Field Training Officers will be directing them.
We have had wonderful support for the Substation manning and unfortunately, most of the volunteers and interns have returned to school, but there are some who have the desire to continue volunteering and as of now we will have Thursday and Friday nights manned 4pm-8pm. We will be seeking more interns and volunteers for the rest of the week.
The Chief recently received a letter from a Citizen which makes all the District 4 officers look great, especially the 2 officers mentioned in the letter-
Dear Colonel Chief Dean Esserman,
The following letter is to inform you of how proud of a Citizen I am to know that there is such great, great Police work and TEAM work in district 4, I have seen my share of crazy things around D4, and its known to be a bad area/ District.
I have mostly seen how hard the Police Officers work in this area and Take part and are part in the Community and are vigilant and very aware of what is going on in their area, specifically two gentlemen who I always notice working their beat. I believe their names are Patrolman Miguel Mena-torres and Patrolman Eugene Chin. I have seen them talk and listen to people, assist people and become part of the Community. They have been a listening ear to Citizens of D4. i am very proud of the Men and Women in uniform who risk Their Lives for us, regardless of their (human mistakes) and knowing they also have families to go home to. I support them all the way. I wanted to point out a couple of gentlemen who i have seen work hard all over the District, i have seen then non-stop around the blocks helping those who need help and apprehending those who do wrong.
I recently heard of the great job they did by detaining and apprehending an armed Robbery suspect(s) after robbing a store/gas station and also another robbery in a different location. I am so proud of having such great officers that are always alert and know what they are doing even if they might go out of their way to make the citizens feel safer. They caught my eye because I as a Citizen am aware of my surroundings and they have done a great job. These officers should be recognized for their bravery and hard work. I hope these officers are very well commended by their great job to the citizens of Providence. You should be very proud of these officers as I am for doing such an excellent job. These are truly our heroes. God bless all Police officers and their loved ones.
Sincerely, Proud Citizen
Its nice to get such a letter every once in a while. thought I would share it with you.
Thank You,
LT Luis F. San Lucas

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fertile Underground Grocery, 1577 Westminster Street, Providence, RI 02909
Community grocery celebrates launch of full store hours, unveils mural
Large scale agricultural mural honors start-up backers, kicks off soft opening
Providence, Rhode Island – January 3, 2012 – Fertile Underground Grocery will host a “Soft-Boiled Opening Celebration” this Friday, January 6th, to mark its 2012 expansion of hours and inventory, and to commemorate the completion of a large scale agricultural mural gracing the store’s light-filled interior on Providence’s west side.
The vibrant mural, designed by lead artist and Fertile Underground co-founder Dauna Jean Noble, depicts a vision of agriculture flourishing around Providence, and represents the values of Fertile Underground and urban locavores who uphold a world where greenlife overcomes concrete. The sprawling painting also playfully pays tribute to the Kickstarter backers who helped raise seed funds last spring to support the store’s opening.
“This mural is not just a decoration to our store, but a community generated statement about living in better accord with nature,” said Noble. “Fertile Underground and the people of the west side can hold a vision for a better way to feed ourselves, and be proactive about creating a lifestyle by which we can all live more sustainably.”
Having reached phase one of its inventory plan, this Community Supported Grocery launches its “Soft-Boiled Opening” on Friday to show off a wide variety of local staples, produce, household goods and treats, all chosen with a conscience and with a sustainable lifestyle as the bottom line. Also featured will be breakfast, lunch and dinner specials in the Fertile Café and produce specials in the Grocery.
This event rings in the store’s new hours of operation for 2012. Fertile Underground Grocery and Café are now open 7 days a week: 8am to 7pm Monday through Saturday, and 8am to 3pm on Sunday.
Fertile Underground is a worker-cooperative that functions as a traditional grocery, and is focused on the distribution of real food, produced without the use of chemicals and excess packaging. It was conceived by a group of artists conversing about ways to directly address issues of food access in urban communities, personal health in modern life, connection to nature and creative processes.
Watch for a future announcement of the store’s Grand Opening Celebration, slated for February, when key features will be in place such as the capability to accept SNAP benefits and more local herbs and bulk items on the shelves.
Fertile Underground Grocery’s “Soft-Boiled Opening Celebration” takes place all day on Friday, January 6, but enjoys a special honoring of the mural between 4pm and 7pm. Fertile Underground Grocery is located at 1577 Westminster Street, Providence. MEDIA WELCOME – event features GREAT VISUALS.
Fertile Underground Grocery is dedicated to making fresh, local and organic produce available to the West End community year round. Our goal is to be a full service, small-scale grocery serving the needs of the neighborhood. We are focused on providing foods that are healthy, grown in cooperation with the Earth, and realistic in regards to perpetual food systems, fair food access and affordability.

WBNA Enews 12.17.2011
The WBNA would like to wish everyone
“A Happy & Safe Holiday Season”
4th Annual West Side Caroling – Sunday December 18th 5pm: Spread warmth and merriment during one of the coldest times of the year. Join us as we joyfully carol through historic streets surrounded by beautiful Victorian architecture in Providence's Armory District. Annually, the Sunday before Christmas!
Meet up at Loie Fuller's restaurant from 5-6 p.m. before heading out at 6 p.m. to bring holiday cheer to the neighborhood through festive holiday songs. They have planned stops with neighbors along the way for warm drinks and bathroom breaks, before ending at 8 p.m. for milk & cookies at Leadership Rhode Island headquarters -- one block from Loie Fuller's, the original starting point.
Playground News - Great News, a new toddler gate will be installed at the toddler area of the playground on Tuesday December 20th. Funds for this gate were donated to the WBNA by employees of Citizens Bank. The gate was designed by youth participating in an afterschool program of Downcity Design. The Steel Yard fabricated and will be installing the gate. Thanks to all of these groups and individuals who worked towards this unique addition to our park.
P.S. The Parks Department has also installed swings at the playground for the older kids to enjoy for as long as the weather permits. Thanks Parks Department!
Westminster Street Improvement Program News – Drive by Westminster and Barton Streets and notice the new traffic signal that is replacing pressure treated poles that have stood there for over a decade! The WBNA secured funding for these signals from then Senator Frank Caprio and it became part of the Westminster Street Improvement program scope of work.
Grove Street School – Sad news for our neighborhood! The tear down will take place on Monday December 19th. The WBNA’s worked hard with the Providence Preservation Society, lawyer Deming Sherman and the City to save this building from the wrecking ball. Even after a second round of illegal demolition in August, the building remains structurally sound. Yet after several appeals by the WBNA and PPS, the City issued the final blow to this once majestic building.
Poirier’s Diner - rolled down Westminster Street on Tuesday December 13th in grand fashion to its new home located at 1380 Westminster Street. Check out this video of the move from the Providence Journal http://bcove.me/euqj90qy. Read more about this historic diner here http://www.pbn.com/Historic-diner-to-reopen-on-West-Side,63213
Annual Meeting – Mark your calendar January 10, 2012 at the Providence Hmong Church, 46 Dexter Street. Renew your 2012 Membership at the membership table at the “Meet & Mingle Reception” so you can cast your vote for the 2012 board members. There will also be a special slide show presentation on the history of Dexter Training Ground by Sarah Zurier of the RIHPHC plus awards and a slide show of our wins and losses in 2012. Come out and join us!
Apply by January 15 for Spring 2012 Street Trees from PNPP- Providence lost 616 street trees (trees planted along public sidewalks) during two extreme weather events in 2011. In June, an extremely strong wind storm struck down or damaged 206 street trees in southern Providence neighborhoods. Hurricane Irene took down an additional 410 street trees in late August.
To address this major loss of tree canopy, Providence Neighborhood Planting Program (PNPP) is adding an extra planting day to its regular spring street tree planting. The program is hoping to assist in the planting of 280 street trees over the course of four Saturdays in spring 2012.
To receive street trees through the Neighborhood Street Tree Planting Award, neighborhoods should have: at least five properties that each need at least one tree (minimum request is 5 trees) within an area of one city block, permission from each property owner to plant each tree requested, a promise from each property owner or tenant to help plant their tree on planting day, water weekly and weed regularly. Applications are due by January 15 for spring 2012 street tree plantings and are available at www.pnpp.org or contact us directly at 401-368-5380 or street_trees@pnpp.org
PNPP considers Elmwood, Federal Hill, Lower and Upper South Providence, Olneyville, Reservoir, Smith Hill, Valley, Washington Park and West End neighborhoods high priority planting areas and encourages applications from these neighborhoods especially. However, all Providence neighborhoods are eligible for this award.
Trees 2020 (Trees2020.org) offers low cost trees for private property planting. When PNPP applicants order a minimum of 5 trees for private property through Trees 2020, PNPP will deliver all the trees together, saving homeowners the normal delivery fee of Trees 2020 trees and helping the neighborhood to plant as many trees as possible. |
