TV3 Board of Directors President Frank Pilleri, however, responded that every TV3 member has a protected Fist Amendment right to express his or her opinions, regardless of whether community members disagree with those views.
"As members, anyone has a right to do or say almost anything they want if it’s within the laws," said Pilleri. "If it’s within the laws, board members and staff will not ever be denied their right to express themselves."
Pilleri said he considers Zappelli a talented web designer and popular TV and Internet show host, whose strong opinions may sometimes get misinterpreted.- See more at: http://www.wickedlocal.com/x2139020176/Bomb-threat-arrest-renews-calls-for-TV3-closure-in-Medford?tag=2#sthash.Zns28jt9.dpuf

As for Adam, I'm judging Mr. Knight on his alignment with McGlynn/Camuso/DelloRusso. First order of business was to elected Camuso president. Bad move. The dude is tongue-tied and power hungry. Where I am able to get my point across, senior citizens Paul Camuso has trashed - from Pat Fiorello to Dr. Storella - will fall victim to the juvenile antics of an individual in power because he wants the 30K, not because he wants to help you, Jason, and certainly not me. Mr. Camuso was on the wrong side of the TV3 issue because the Friday night host fawned all over him, while denigrating other politicians. Camuso enjoyed the fruits of the non-profit while not interfering in the attacks on his fellow councilors, including two women. We have an indication of where Adam Knight is positioning himself. Clearly he wants to be Mayor, but riding the Paul Camuso bandwagon won't cut it. Another Councilor was tied at the hip to Camuso and learned a few years later to distance himself. Now they are opposed to each other. Adam Knight is going to learn the hard way when Camuso turns on him.

MICHAEL J. MCGLYNN NOT BEING HONEST WITH THE CITIZENS OF MEDFORD
WHY IS THIS ARTICLE NOW MISSING FROM THE MEDFORD TRANSCRIPT?
IT'S A PRESS RELEASE FROM CITY HALL
March 21, 2011
Medford —
Mayor Michael J. McGlynn announces he is actively looking for Medford
residents who may be interested in serving on Medford’s Cable Advisory
Commission or the Chevalier Civic Auditorium Commission.
The city is looking for people who may have an interest in volunteering to serve on either of these boards. Both boards meet approximately once per month. They do not meet during the months of July and August.
The Chevalier Civic Auditorium Commission is made up of (5) members who can be appointed for up to a (5) year term. The Chevalier Commission supervises the auditorium and can also act as a fundraising arm for it as well.
An annual report of all activities is required yearly from the Chevalier Commission to the Mayor’s Office.
“Currently, there are (4) active members serving on the Chevalier Commission, and we are looking for a fifth member,” McGlynn said. “Interested parties should have a background in either; engineering, marketing or have a strong interest/background in the arts.”
In much of the same manner, the Cable Advisory Commission acts in a supervisory role to the local cable channels, by recommending policy changes, meeting with cable company representatives to discuss issues of mutual interest, report to the mayor on company compliance with the license, respond to citizen questions regarding the cable television system and keep the community informed about community programming.
This seven member commission is looking for (3) additional members who may have a background in media and technology or in marketing.
Interested parties should submit a cover letter and resume to the mayor’s attention as soon as possible to 85 George P. Hassett Drive, Medford MA 02155.

Seven Grafton teens arrested on felony witness intimidation charges for allegedly cyber-bullying the victim of a violent crime
Seven Grafton teens were arrested recently on felony witness intimidation charges for allgedly harassing a 15-year-old victim...
Isn't this what the two Revere boyfriends did to a victim of racism? Not mentioning any names, there are lots and lots of Revere antagonists...
Seven Grafton teens arrested on felony witness intimidation charges for allegedly cyber-bullying the victim of a violent crime
On Jan. 18, the victim’s mother told police of
the alleged harassment of her child, Crepeau said in a phone interview
Saturday. He said the victim’s mother told officers that her child was
being threatened and demeaned by several acquaintances of a person
charged with committing a violent crime against her child last year.
The victim’s mother told police officers James
Crosby and Alvin Hulbert that her child had been repeatedly harassed,
“physically and through social media,” at school and elsewhere by a
group of teens, a Grafton police statement issued Friday on Facebook.
Police will be getting documents of a serial harasser from TV3 posting on Patch (under the name H H) that he was coming to a victim's home, insinuating that he was going to hurt the victim of TV3.
That is cyber-bullying. That is creepy.
Most likely it came from a scene of a previous alleged crime in Revere. Most likely.

Medford Announces Appointment of Committee to Develop Community TV Access Plan
Medford
Mayor Michael McGlynn today announced the establishment of a Community
Access TV Committee to determine the future structure of public,
educational, and government access television in the City of Medford.
Mayor McGlynn has appointed Father “Chip” Hines, Frederick Laskey, and Allison Goldsberry to the committee. Father Chip, pastor of St. Joseph’s Church in Medford, will serve as the Committee Chair. Father Chip co-hosts Catholic TV’s movie review show “Spotlight.” Laskey, Executive Director of the MWRA, formerly co-hosted a show in Medford about energy issues. Goldsberry is the webmaster for the Medford Public Schools and City of Medford. She teaches web design at Medford High School and is also in charge of the school’s educational access TV station.
The
Community Access TV Committee will develop the guiding principles for
the future of community access television in the City of Medford.
“I
look at this as an opportunity to search for fresh approaches to
community access television that are based on a foundation of
transparency and inclusiveness and that also allow for the fullness of
artistic and individual expression,” said Mayor McGlynn.
The
Committee seeks to develop a plan for vibrant community access
television in Medford that includes educational and community
programming, locally produced content, broadcasts of public meetings and
events, increased learning opportunities for students interested in
media production, community classes, and enhanced online video capacity.
The Committee’s first organizational meeting will be Monday, February 3 at 6:30pm in the Medford High School Library. Meetings seeking public input will be announced following the first organizational meeting. The Committee will also have an email address and other important forms of contact to receive public feedback and comments. These will also be announced following the Committee’s first meeting.
The Community Access TV Committee will present its recommendations to the Mayor by Memorial Day.

WE WON!
THE ENTRENCHED CRONIES ARE DISGRACED, AND ONE OF THEM IS ON TRIAL FOR A FALSE BOMB THREAT!
http://medford.patch.com/groups/joe-vigliones-blog/p/whats-good-for-the-community-with-public-access-television
"Public Access television has been for many years the main platform for the general public to express its views to the widest public available in an unfettered 1st amendment free speech manner" is the opening statement in a lawsuit that was presented in one of the states fighting to preserve access TV.
The city of Medford now has a golden opportunity to move forward. The citizens will have a chance to see what they've been missing out on, as Medford has never, ever, ever had a real public access TV station. Access is not about the few controlling the message...it is about the community having a voice.
Mayor McGlynn says in the article posted on Patch:
Father George C. Hines from Pastor of St. Joseph Parish, Medford, to Pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, Sharon, to Pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish, Walpole, and to Pastor of St. Mary Parish, Walpole.
Now, at long last, we
will have that opportunity. It is something a few of the councilors and
this writer have fought for over the past decade. It's a key moment in
access TV in Medford and we will make the most of this opportunity that
we pay for and that we deserve.

FRANK PILLERI LOST. PILLERI AND HIS COHORTS, RON DELUCIA, HARVEY ALBERG AND ARTHUR DELUCA GO DOWN IN DISGRACE AS THE CITIZENS GET THEIR ACCESS TV CHANNEL BACKFRANK PILLERI GOES DOWN IN DISGRACE ...WATCH FOR our history of Medford Access TV to air when the new station emerges! The shocking story of TV3 will be a 10 part mini-series. You will be glued to your seats!
the upcoming August trial will potentially be filmed for part of that mini series. Permission was refused when asked to film the arraignment in Somerville District Court. But that's ok, Superior Court is a different matter and the public's right to know will prevail, we are quite confident in that.

Mayor McGlynn says in the article posted on Patch:
“I look at this as an opportunity to search for fresh
approaches to community access television that are based on a foundation of
transparency and inclusiveness and that also allow for the fullness of artistic
and individual expression,” McGlynn said in a statement.
Those
words spoken by Mayor Michael J. McGlynn are now something we can hold
the Mayor to. He got them right from my playbook as T.O.T.A. - this
writer's idea to clarify access tv - was the battle cry in 2005 -
Transparency, Oversight, Term Limits, Accountability. It's what this
citizen was asking of the Mayor when I met with him in 2006. Now we can
dwell on the fact that it took the Mayor eight years to get religion,
but why bother? The committee's chairman is a very nice man, the
Reverend George "Chip" Hines.
What is interesting here
is that Father Chip, according to the Pilot newspaper dated January 17,
2014 in its CLERGY APPOINTMENTS section notes this:
Father George C. Hines from Pastor of St. Joseph Parish, Medford, to Pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, Sharon, to Pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish, Walpole, and to Pastor of St. Mary Parish, Walpole.
What
the community is not aware of, and what the old Medford Community
Cablevision, Inc. was probably not aware of, was that the Mayor had
decided to appoint Father Chip Hines to the board of MCC TV3. When
things started disintegrating to the point of no return it seems that
appointment was a moot point, redundancy here intended. Thus the cute
little comments you might have seen on my commentaries "TV3 to get
religion" but, as I said earlier, time to move forward, not backward.
* * * * *
Now in a perfect world the Mayor would also call up School Committee
Person Robert E. Skerry and accountant Richard Giovino and add another
five individuals to that oversight board, the Cable TV Commission of
Medford.
With only a 3 person panel, having a 5-7
person cable TV commission would help guide the panel with information
the panel might not be aware of. The more the merrier if we are to bring
about a clean, exciting new opportunity to Medford while keeping the
problems of the past away from this situation for at least the next five
to ten years.
My opinion - as stated at a city
council meeting, was and still is that the Mayor needs at least a five
person panel, not a three person panel. The good news is that Allison
Goldsberry, Fred Laskey and Chip Hines are all good people and easy to
get along with. Gold star for Michael McGlynn there. But their most
obvious asset to the Mayor is their alignment with the McGlynn
Administration and not necessarily their understanding of access
television - Father Hines appearing on the Catholic Channel and Allison
having been a board member of MCC giving them some experience, but
clearly not the experience that some in the community who have spent
decades and decades in access have. Which is easily solved, of course,
by expanding the panel from three to seven.
And without
the panel having more than three people, a cable TV commission could
serve to make the new public access entity more...well, public.
* * * * *
The presence of Goldsberry is good in that the old TV3 Medford can't
complain it is not represented. Fact is, Allison Goldsberry was
appointed or elected to the old MCC Board and actually disagreed with
the former president of the station. That gives her knowledge that can
be of some value to the citizens of Medford. What were her
disagreements and now, with her experience at the high school, what is
her particular vision. That input is good, but is of greater value when
combined with four additional people on this panel which currently only
has three.
That was part of my argument at the city council and I stand by that position.
This is not just about any one producer - be it sports host Johnny
Byers (who is delighted with the news and intends to be at the Monday
night meeting at the Medford High School Library) - or sports enthusiast
Chris Donovan or the video company Gravity or Jimmy Morse dot com or
Kitty Connection or this writer. It is about the community.
A fresh start without the problems of the past is what is needed.
Last night on WinCAM - Winchester Community Access and Media - Barbara
Harris of The Toys talked about her upcoming benefit concert with Leslie
Uggams, Dionne Warwick, The Cookies ("Chains" - a song covered by The
Beatles) and others. It is for the New York City Foodbank which feeds
about 400,000 people a day...a worthy cause (and full disclosure - I
helped bring some of the artists to the benefit concert). Public Access
is great for benefits, for other non-profits to get the word out. We
also had Buzzy Linhart discussing meeting John Lennon as the great
engineer who worked with Lennon, Roy Cicala, passed away this week. And
our film critic, Frank Dello Stritto, spoke about the Hercules movie
airing tonight on our Friday Night 9 PM movie show.
Access is alive and well. This host has brought many, many Medford
residents to access TV in Winchester, Winthrop and other stations, as
well as on MadeInMedford.com
But the internet is still
in its infancy when it comes to being a "public access venue." Those
who have cable TV and no internet, especially our senior citizens, would
rather watch the P/E/G channels.
McGlynn announces 3 person panel!
http://medford.patch.com/groups/politics-and-elections/p/mayor-announces-members-of-new-cableaccess-committee
Channel 3 finally gets religion with a Chip off the old Church on the panel!
McGlynn appointed the following members:- Father Chip Hines, pastor of St. Joseph’s Church in Medford, who also co-hosts Catholic TV’s movie review show “Spotlight,” will serve as the committee’s chairman.
- Frederick Laskey, executive director of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, who formerly co-hosted a show in Medford about energy issues
- Allison Goldsberry, webmaster for the Medford Public Schools and City of Medford, who also teaches web design at Medford High School and is in charge of the school’s educational access TV station

"NO SHOW" CAMUSO starts the year off on the wrong foot!
What? No vending machine at City Hall?
No Show Camuso has found a way to be absent but not have an absence on his public record as City Council president!
Just cancel the damn meeting.
Who cares if the city is falling apart?
Council Bad Boy Paul Excuso needs yet another day off.
Maybe he was shoveling his driveway?
If he was shoveling his driveway the way he shovels you-know-what to the speakers at the podium, his driveway must be sparkling clean.
On your dime.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “You want to offer me a job for
$120,000? I'll leave tomorrow. ” – Rep. Paul Donato, on the pending
resignation of Rep. Kathi-Anne Reinstein and decisions by other former
colleagues to decamp from the august General Court for the private
sector.
Councilor Camuso didn't feel like going to work in 3 inches of snow

Author's note: Rather than anonymous commentary, I welcome readers to come up to the City Council on January 28 and discuss this editorial, in front of the council that is so handsomely paid.
* * * * *
An e mail message appeared at 4:43 PM on Tuesday night:
Jan 21 at 4:43 PM Due to the pending snow storm the Medford City Council Meeting of January 21, 2014 is cancelled and orders of business will be transfered to the January 28th Meeting Due to the Pending Snow Storm
Another followed 22 minutes later:
Due to the pending snow storm the Medford City Council Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for January 21 at 6:00 PM is cancelled and will be rescheduled for next week Jan 21 at 5:05 PM
The agenda that didn't get heard is available on Inside Medford
http://insidemedford.com/2014/01/20/medford-city-council-meetings-tuesday-jan-21st/
We pay about three thousand five hundred or so dollars a week for the City Council of Medford.
Medford, Massachusetts is one of the most expensive city councils in 19 cities north of Boston
Payday varies widely for city councilors and aldermen north of ...www.bostonglobe.com/.../north/.../19/payday...city-co...The Boston GlobeOct 20, 2013 - A Globe review of payroll data for city councilors in 19 cities north of Boston puts Medford at the top
This was no blizzard of '78, and haven't we trudged up to City Hall in more inclement weather?
* * * * *
The supporters of the new council president will come out in droves and ignore the invitation to speak at the Council next week rather than litter the Patch with nonsense. In a city of 57,000 or so people our elected leaders need to have priorities, priorities that don't include following the lead of the most inconsistent and absent councilor noted in the above Boston Globe article from Kathy McCabe.
For the first two council meetings the new "president" had a party stopping a Republican party person, Robert Cappucci, from having his say. At what he has called "the People's Forum" we've witnessed a senior citizen stifled and a council candidate, Jeanne Martin, told to stay on topic. Aham. The "People's forum" with rules designed to both fracture and eradicate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
What better way for the excuse-ridden "Council President" to play hookey but to sense 3 inches of snow on the way and tell the citizens, the other councilors and the Government channel handlers to "take the night off." Unless we stop this pernicious abuse of power in its tracks, this will be the rule, not the exception.
Why wasn't the City Council meeting re-scheduled for January 22, 2014? Wednesday night? If it was, why wasn't a memo sent out. So next Tuesday night, January 28th, will be the third - not fourth - meeting of the Medford City Council. The agenda will get bunched up, and the council president and his thirty thousand dollar gig will think to himself "such a deal" as he slams the gavel and tells you your ten minutes are up when, indeed, as I've been informed by a reliable source, Councilor Paul A. Camuso's clock is at 45 RPM when the rest of the world is at 33 1/3rd RPM.
The "new" City Council has to stop infringing on rights and start recognizing that the definition of "public service" is serving the public. Not taking yet another night off to kick off the new year.

On December 17, 2012 the final public access show aired in Medford. On April Fools Day 2013 the color bars went up. As of this writing, January 22, 2014, we pay for a product that we are not getting.
Now, for the anonymous posters who say we don't need public access (which is a joke; no credible person publishes such nonsense) we say, forget about access for a moment. Some links below declare that about 1.7 million dollars was spent between 2010 and 2011 for P/E/G access tv. Consumers forced to pay that much money would like to know where the money has gone. Those at City Hall who know where the money trickles don't offer a "three person panel" that is promised the consumer. So, where's the three person panel? Where is the cable TV commission? Why are there color bars on Comcast and allegedly nothing on Verizon? And when will we have something for the monies we pay for on a monthly basis.
A Jeff Vrabel wrote an essay in the weekly paper Feb 11, 2013, about a year ago. He states:
Seriously, after enough reading about putting antennas on my house, I started to wonder how I could be so impressed by technology that was available to my grandparents, which I regarded like WHAT IS THIS MAGICAL FREE TELEVISION RECEPTION DEVICE? If someone invents a free way to listen to music on some sort of small transistor machine, for real, watch my brains melt.

But it isn't about swapping one thing not to pay for another. It is the monies that get collected and where they are going.
And a city council that has a leader who, ho hum, thinks if there's a tsunami harmlessly out there on the ocean not hitting land, he needs a day off, and to collect "his" 30K without going through a vetting process to become the Council President.
The citizens of Medford didn't vote for that individual to be "president" - which he declared personally to me on January 7th, taking the reality of an election out of context. What happened was that in December, there was a bully vote and - voila - the citizens had no say in appointing an individual who isn't ready for prime time to go up there and embarrass the city of Medford on a weekly basis. That is, when he decides to show up for work.
NOTES:
A February 8, 2012 article in the weekly paper noted:
Comcast currently provides service in 238 Massachusetts communities. Medford is the 111th community in Massachusetts to receive cable TV services offered from Verizon.
Another part of the agreement between the city and Verizon is that the company allots Medford the same 5 percent franchise fee it receives from Comcast cable subscribers. Of the 5 percent fee on cable TV bills, 3 percent goes to the city coffers while 2 percent is divvied up between the city’s three local access channels.
