If Allstan-lrlghton Another graffiti) artist arrested Teenager caught allegedly tagging pillar at Brighton bus stop By Peter Panepento TAB Staff Writer Dorchester teenager is the latest in a series of graf fiti taggers who have been nabbed by District 14 A police as part of a neigffuomood effort to cut down on vandalism. According to police, a 15-year-old Dorchester boy was arrested on Jan. 10 after he was observed scratching letters into a pillar at the MBTA bus stop at the comer of Cambridge and Warren streets. The teenager allegedly scratched the letters "CVP" into the pillar and was caught in the act by police at about 10 am. The letters are believed to signify the initials of the "Cape Verde Posse" gang. Similar scrawhings were found on a wall behind the teen, police said. ' The teen faces charges of graffiti and malicious destruction of property over $250. Local law enforcement officials and merchants have made graffiti taggers a major target in Allston-Brighton during the past year. Two of those who have been arrested under the community's get-tough policies, Ben Chused and Matthew Collings, have received stiff penalties for their transgressions. Chused was charged with six months of house arrest and 600 hours of community service for his offenses. Collings also will serve considerable community service time and has been ordered by Chelsea District Court to paint an anti-graffi ti mural in Allston-Brighton. At least three other small-time artists have also been arrest ed by Boston Police in Allston-Brighton during that time.

Schools are so important - and how do we make sense of what we encounter? 1bis question becomes especially impor NOW. tant when it is time to choose a place to send a child, whose life will be shaped for good or ill by the environment in which he or she is taught. A great school can be shabby, a child can fail to thrive in a small class - here is the hard truth: there is no easy way to sum up the qualities of a school to make it easy to choose - or evaluate - which one will do the job well. Yet we persist. MEAP scores, SAT scores, expenditure-per-pupil averages, teacher:student ratios - all these are offered up individ ually or together as the key to unlock the mystery. This week's Allston-Brighton TAB offers ~report that adds some meat to the bones of this scholastic nnmerology, as writer Judy Wasserman went to the local school leaders and invited them each to describe their institution's strengths. The message here is that parents who want to do well by their children will take the time to visit, to talk to parents and teachers and administrators, to sample the atm:>sphere of a school they have under consideration. The numbers may have a use, but they sure don't tell the whole story.
