Far back in geologic time, massive rivers flowed in from all directions, lining the bottom of the Boston Basin with the rocks and silt that were carried downstream. Over millions of years this debris accumulated to a great depth, and, crushed by its own weight, solidified into the sedimentary rock that we now call Roxbury Puddingstone. Of course, it is a lot more complicated than that, but that is the general outline. Roxbury Puddingstone is a sedimentary conglom- erate, comprising a fine-grained matrix, or silt (the pudding), within which are inclusions of rock, mostly rounded granite. The silt is a mixture of rock flour and the residue of ash left from early volcanic eruptions. The rocks, or “nuts” were rounded by the rivers, which Roxbury Puddingstone is the state rock of Mas- chipped off sharp edges and wore down the rocks sachusetts.

March 13, 2014 The Reporter Page 13 In Mattapan, police brass put focus on engaging youth

By Will Taylor Special to the Reporter A open meeting was held last Thursday, March 6 in the Mattapan Branch Public Library to discuss violence in the neighborhood and to engage stake- holders in a discussion about resources, prevention, and response. In attendance were police officers, community organizers, and non-profit leaders, who fielded questions from local residents. A large contingent from the B-3 Boston Police De- partment, which serves Mattapan and Dorchester, spoke first and took questions from the audience. Police identified community engagement as a Boston Police Department priority and were met with general support, though some residents expressed skepticism about changes in the department. “One of our strategies is being really involved with the young people…we’re still trying to have the youth dialogues and build relationships with [at risk] kids,” said BPD Deputy Superintendent Nora Baston. The police touted existing prevention and response programs already in place that seek to curb violence in the near- and long-term. A gun buyback program is scheduled to begin later this month, which will allow individuals to trade guns and ammunition for gift cards. One police officer reported the same program successfully retrieved 1,006 guns when it was last implemented, in 2006. Crime Stoppers is a program for individuals to submit anonymous tips, which police insisted often lead to solving open cases. Returning to the theme of a community-wide effort, however, Baston reminded the group, “If everyone Boston Police officials spoke to residents during a forum hosted by the group Mattapan United last else is just sitting around waiting for the gun to be Thursday at the Mattapan branch library. Photo courtesy Mattapan United bought back, you know that’s not gonna happen.” A couple of attendees voiced concerns that the to a citywide drop in part one, or serious, crimes in of police, which was high, but emphasized the police are no longer as familiar or friendly as they the last year. importance of having other parties speak as well. used to be, and that they no longer have a specific Other speakers included a Youth-Police Dialogue “I think what was evident at that meeting is that it police officer reliably patrolling their neighborhood.
