Artist in Residence Makes First Stop in Sudbury at Loring Elementary School

SUDBURY — A traveling artist who has worked with students across the country made his first of three stops in Sudbury late last month, visiting the Loring School for a week-long residency. 

Bren Bataclan — a Boston-based artist who has painted more than 200 murals for schools, hospitals and businesses as part of his Smile Project — served as an artist in residence throughout the week of Nov. 18 before unveiling two finished murals on Friday, Nov. 22.

Bataclan worked with Loring fifth graders to create two unique murals on the school’s interior that represent the school’s core values of respect, caring, best effort and responsibility. Using those values as guides, he and the students conceptualized and created 40 different symbols to represent the values and the community as a whole. 

Using those symbols, Bataclan and the fifth grade class created different characters that now adorn the school’s walls.

“Bren’s visit to Loring was a great way to not only add some vibrancy to our physical space, but bring our core values to life in a colorful and lasting way,” Loring Assistant Principal David Gaita said. “It was exciting to see our fifth graders so engaged in this project, and I’m grateful for the chance to help provide students with these kinds of unique opportunities.”

Among the symbols Bataclan painted are a computer, books, a pencil, a musical note, a heart and more. Having left behind a character on the walls that represents each Loring fifth grader in some way, Bataclan will head to Noyes Elementary during the week of Dec. 9, and Haynes in early 2020 for similar residency programs.

About P.A.A.R.I:

The Police Assisted Addiction & Recovery Initiative (P.A.A.R.I) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to help law enforcement agencies nationwide create non-arrest pathways to treatment and recovery. Founded alongside the groundbreaking Gloucester MA Police Department Angel Initiative in June 2015, P.A.A.R.I has been a driving force behind this rapidly expanding community policing movement. We provide technical assistance, coaching, grants, and other capacity-building resources to more than 500 police departments in 33 states. We currently work with more than 130 law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts alone. P.A.A.R.I and our law enforcement partners are working towards a collective vision where non-arrest diversion programs become a standard policing practice across the country, thereby reducing overdose deaths, expanding access to treatment, improving public safety, reducing crime, diverting people away from the criminal justice system, and increasing trust between law enforcement and their communities. Our programs and partners have saved thousands of lives, changed police culture, reshaped the national conversation about the opioid epidemic and have placed over 22,000 people into treatment since its founding in June 2015.

Melrose Police Arrest Man for Car Break-Ins After Tracking his Footprints in the Snow

MELROSE— Chief Michael Lyle reports that the Melrose Police Department arrested a man overnight in connection with attempted car break-ins.

STEVEN GOODRICH, AGE 29, OF LOWELL, was arrested and charged with:

  • Disorderly Conduct
  • Attempt to Commit a Crime
  • Furnishing a False Name
  • Possession of a False RMV Document

In addition, GOODRICH was wanted on multiple pre-existing warrants for his arrest out of Chelsea and Lowell.

At 3:45 a.m., Melrose Police were dispatched to the area near the intersection of Emerson Street and Orient Avenue for a report of a man walking down driveways and looking into the windows of parked cars.

Upon arrival, Officer Richard Cooney conducted a search along Emerson Street and Orient Avenue, Orient Park and Orient Place and observed fresh footprints in the snow on the sidewalks and driveways alongside the vehicles parked there. As the officer approached the dead end of Orient Place, he observed a vehicle parked with its lights on in a driveway, as well as a man matching the suspect’s description standing nearby.

Upon seeing Officer Cooney’s cruiser, the suspect — later identified as GOODRICH — fled through the backyard of 16 Orient Place and scaled a fence to continue fleeing. The officer first returned to his cruiser in order to try and locate the suspect but, after being unable to, returned to 16 Orient Place and followed the suspect’s footprints in the snow.

Officer Cooney tracked the footprints through multiple yards and along the sidewalk of Stratford Road onto Porter Street and Harding Road. He then followed the footprints down the driveway of 4 Harding Road until they came to an abrupt end, at which point the officer located GOODRICH hiding under a playset in the back yard.

GOODRICH allegedly provided multiple conflicting explanations for his presence in the area and, during a subsequent search, police located an identification that did not belong to him. Following an on-scene investigation, Melrose Police determined that two cars on Orient Place had been entered and searched, and GOODRICH was placed under arrest. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the identification found in GOODRICH’S possession had been stolen from a parked car in Wakefield.

During booking, GOODRICH allegedly provided a false name to police.

He was scheduled to be arraigned this morning in Malden District Court.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
