INCIDENTS
Drugs – Sick Assist - Heroin
12/17/14 – At around 6 p.m.,
police responded to a radio call
for two males who overdosed
at Copley Place, located at 100
Huntington Ave.
On arrival, officers were led
to a bathroom in the mall, where
both individuals were unconscious after overdosing on heroin,
and observed a spoon and several
needles that the individuals used
to prepare and ingest the drugs.
At this time, the individuals had
begun to regain consciousness.
Both were treated at the scene
by Boston EMS, but declined further medical treatment or transportation to the hospital.
planned to contact the Mayor’s
office in regard to the incident.
The officer on duty forwarded
his report to a colleague in Area
A-1 who is writing a report on
the protest.
Drugs – Sick Assist - Heroin
12/27/14 – At around 6:10
p.m., an officer responded to a
radio call for an unconscious person at Au Bon Pain at Copley
Place.
Upon arrival, the officer met
with paramedics who were providing medical treatment to the
victim. The paramedics told the
officer that the victim appeared
to be under the influence of heroin, and that they found two
empty bottles of Narcan, which
they believe were given to the
victim by an unknown party.
Au Bon Pain employees told
the officer that they located the
victim in the bathroom after an
unidentified female ran out of the
bathroom screaming and left the
premises.
The officer observed the victim to be conscious and alert,
and paramedics transferred him
to Tufts Medical Center.
Allston man sentenced
in deaths of pedestrians
An Allston man pleaded
guilty to causing a motor vehicle crash that claimed the lives
of 27-year-old Jessica Campbell
and 28-year-old John Lanzillotti,
Suffolk County District Attorney
Daniel F. Conley said.
Mohamed Alfageeh (D.O.B.
8/15/84) pleaded guilty to two
counts of motor vehicle homicide
by negligent operation during an
appearance in Suffolk Superior
Court this morning. Assistant
District Attorney Gregory
Henning had recommended that
Alfageeh be sentenced to three
years in the house of correction. Judge Carol Ball sentenced
Alfageeh to one year in the house
of correction followed by an
additional two years in the house
of correction with six months
to serve and the remainder suspended for a probationary period
of three years. Alfageeh will
serve a total of 18 months in the
house of correction and would
face an additional 18 months of
incarceration if he violates the
conditions of his probation. A
charge of negligent operation of
a motor vehicle was dismissed as
duplicative.
Had the case proceeded to
trial, Henning would have presented evidence and testimony to
prove that shortly after 9:00 p.m.
on June 21, Alfageeh was driving
a gray 2005 Ford Explorer westbound on Beacon Street when
he approached the intersection
of Beacon and Fairfield streets
approximately seven to eight
seconds after the traffic signal
turned red. Alfageeh traveled
through the red light without
slowing down and struck a silver Volkswagen Passat that had
entered the intersection from
Fairfield Street. The Explorer
spun and skidded, striking
Campbell and Lanzillotti as they
walked in a crosswalk at the
intersection. The vehicle came to
a rest on its roof after hitting two
parked cars.
Campbell and Lanzillotti
both succumbed to their injuries. “This was a tragic crash
that took two innocent lives and
forever changed the lives of their
loved ones. It is all the more tragic knowing that their deaths were
entirely preventable,” Conley
said.

and Bostonians, and, with Doris
Karen Cord Taylor
Cole, The Lady Architects. Her
book, Getting to Grand Prairie,
100 Londoners and their Quest
for Land in Frontier Illinois, is
due for publication in the winter
of 2015.
Active in civic affairs, she has
lived with her husband, Dan, on
Beacon Hill for more than 40
years and raised their two daughters in the neighborhood.
BHWF meetings, which
include appetizers and a cash bar,
are held from 6:30 pm to 8:30
pm at the Hampshire House,
84 Beacon Street. The program
will begin promptly at 7 pm.

Attention
Cooking at home
by Penny Cherubino
Many New Year’s resolutions revolve around ways to get
healthier, save money, or learn
new things. Cooking more at
home and eating out less can be a
step to all those goals. This week
I’ll share a few kitchen tips and
tricks to help you cut clean up
time, waste less food, and make
cooking more fun.
Black
Less Stress
I’ve been rereading Michael
Ruhlman’s books lately. In
Ruhlman’s Twenty, the first of
20 techniques he recommends
you learn to be a good cook is
THINK. He asks his readers to
stop and think as they step into
the kitchen. This is a great way to
reduce the stress of meal preparation.
Run through what you want
to do in your mind. Make sure
you have all the ingredients for
your recipe. Get your equipment
out and prepare everything you’ll
need for the actual cooking.
In professional kitchens, this
is called “Mise en place.” It’s the
reason a restaurant can pump out
hundreds of great meals in a few
hours and why a great cook can
coordinate a meal so that everything is ready at the same time.
Less Waste
If you don’t use the food you
buy, let it spoil, and then throw
it out, you won’t save money by
cooking at home.
To cut food waste, take the
THINK technique one more step
backwards. Before you decide
what to make or compile your
shopping list, check your refrigerator and pantry. What do you
already have on hand? What
needs to be used before it becomes
food waste? Do you have space
in your refrigerator or freezer to
store leftovers if you make a big
batch of something?
Blue Cook’s Tape
I know, other people call it
“Blue Painter’s Tape” but since
I use it to keep track of food, I
call it Cook’s Tape. It’s a trick I
picked up from restaurant kitchens where it is essential to rotate
product and get a quick inventory
of the prep work to be done.
If I open a carton of stock or
a jar of roasted peppers, the date
is added with a strip of blue tape
before I pop the item into the
fridge. When I freeze meals or
ingredients, they are labeled with
blue tape. It stays on well in the
freezer and is easy to remove.
I also use it to tape a plastic
bag over the switches on my food
processor and meat grinder when
I’m using them. It’s easy to operate the switches (even with messy
to

hands) through a thin bag and it
keeps food out of the electronic
connections and makes the appliance much easier to clean.
THIS WEEK'S ANSWER
Observe Great Cooks
Anytime I observe great cooks,
I learn something. With so many
open kitchens in restaurants today,
you have the opportunity to see
the organization and work flow
that the professional kitchen team
uses to make your meal.
Of course, there are TV shows
and online videos designed to show
you how to do anything from
clean fish to make cheese. But,
the best way to learn is to watch
someone in action in an unedited,
unplanned, natural setting.
There is nothing like learning
to make pie crust by standing
next to a great baker and feeling
the texture as the mixture comes
together. So take every opportunity
to learn on a one-to-one basis from
anyone who has something they
do very well that you would like
to do better.
Do you have a question or topic
for Fresh & Local? Send an email
to [email protected] with
your suggestion.
The door panel in the last clue is on 222-224 Marlborough Street built
in 1892 to the design of architect Frederick W. Pope. This is the final
Back Bay building attributed to Pope who began working in the Back
Bay in 1869 and was listed as architect of more than 40 other residences in the neighborhood.
Do you have a favorite building or detail you would like featured?
Send an email to [email protected] with your suggestion.
Easy clean up tip: Tape a plastic bag over the switches on your food processor and other appliances to keep
that hard-to-clean area spotless as you work.

Sleeping dogs and cats
by Penny Cherubino
Recently, I’ve been reading
research on sleeping dogs and
cats. Do dogs dream? Are cats
really nocturnal animals? Just
how much sleep does a dog or cat
need and when should a change
in sleep habits send you to the
phone to make an appointment
with your veterinarian?
Cats are Crepuscular
Rather than nocturnal or most
active at night, cats are crepuscular or most active at dawn and
dusk. While they do have better
night vision than humans, they
are designed to hunt for food in
those marginal periods between
the heat of the day and the dark
of the night.
If your cat tries to get you up
before you’re due to wake, the
experts recommend a very active
play period at dusk each day to
tire the hunter and a strict adherence to no rewards (like attention
or food) when the cat tries to
become a 5:00 a.m. alarm clock.
If you are away during the day,
you could have a pet sitter drop
in to wake a cat who might just
be sleeping the day away. A bit of
mid-day activity or even an alarm
or wake up call might help you
both sleep through the night.
Do Dogs Dream?
Most dog guardians have seen
their dog’s paws twitch while
appearing to be sound asleep or
have heard low woofs and garbled sounds and wondered if the
dog is dreaming.
While we have no way to really know if the animals are dreaming, some researchers speculate
that the same type of sorting and
storing of daytime activities that
seem to occur in humans, might
be happening with dogs and cats.
Dogs and Cats Nap a Lot
Our companion animals sleep
much more than we do. Dogs
and cats are nappers with both
species clocking in at about 14
hours a day of sleep in their
middle years. Puppies, kittens,
and elder dogs and cats require
more sleep. Interestingly, dogs in
active settings, like farms, seem to
require less.
Keeping track of how much
sleep your dog or cat gets each
day will help you notice when
that amount increases or decreases. Excessive sleeping or an
unusual change in activity level
can be a sign that something is
wrong. And, if your dog or cat
wakes suddenly when they were

Researching Animal Sleep
Scientists are exploring the
sleep patterns and circadian
rhythms in companion animals.
These are two traits dogs and
cats share with humans. And,
while they share the traits, their
versions may not adapt well to
the typical human cycle of sleep
and activity.
The US Government’s National
Institute of General Medical
Sciences says, “Circadian rhythms
can influence sleep-wake cycles,
hormone release, body temperature and other important bodily
functions.” Thus, it is important that we understand how we
might help our dogs and cats conform to a 24-hour schedule that
will help keep the human family
members happy and healthy.
