By Tom Nash The Green Line extension project will not be appearing in time for the federally mandated 2014 deadline, according to a report discussed by the state's Department of Transportation last Friday. Transportation Secretary Jeffrey Mullan has reportedly said the project would be delayed until at least October 2015 as a result of the two-year battle over a plan to place a maintenance facility next to Somerville's Brickbottom artists community. |

As World Cup fever hit a high pitch this month, one Somerville soccer team was busy winning a championship.
The age 12 and under Somerville youth soccer team team won a Commissioner’s Cup title on June 20.
“The city of Somerville should be very proud of their accomplishments and for all the other teams in their division,’ said coach Ali Atti.
Members of the team include Youssef Atti, Miguel Canizalez, Padra Darilus, Wens Dorvil, Jeffery Fernandes, Aman Gabriel, Alejandro Galdamez, Adrian Lainoff, Andre Matos, Lebanos Mengistu, Danny Murphy, Nathan Nebiye, Alec Portelli, Mathew Sousa and Bobby Voutsinas.
To secure the title, Somerville had to beat Woburn and Billerica.
“Everything went against us,’ said Atti. “We got some very unfortunate breaks against us in the Woburn game. We were down 2-0, and the Woburn team had a lot of big and strong guys.”
Facing an early 2-0 deficit, Somerville stormed back and emerged with a 5-4 victory.
“We got off to a slow start and coach [Canizalez] and I had to calm the kids down and have them focus on what they do best, that is playing the ball,” said Atti. “We tied up the game at half time.”
Following the game, Atti was more than pleased with his team’s efforts.
“It was a remarkable game against the Woburn team,” said Atti. “It was a very hard fought soccer game.”
William Tauro Police in Somerville were dispatched to a call at 28 Lake street for a possible train derailment behind Somerville's Market Basket late Saturday afternoon during torrential downpour.

No injuries were reported. |

By Julia Fairclough Gui Cavalcanti looked around the expansive loft space at 13 Joy Street with a grin on his face. He went on to explain how Artistan’s Asylum is fun, light hearted, gets people off the couch-and forges creativity.
“We see ourselves as a catalyst,” Cavalcanti said. “We want to make it easy for people to be creative. We know what it’s like to be in a rut, to watch TV and go to bed instead of create. We decided we didn’t want that.”
Cavalcanti, 24, and Jenn Martinez, 28, are the cofounders of Artistan’s Asylum; its mission being “Make creativity a way of life.” Artistan’s Asylum offers a structure to learn and practice creativity through workshops, with classes ranging from introduction to sewing and clothing modification to robotics and building art bikes. It also offers “open studio” time where people can use the extensive line of machinery. Their 9,000-square foot space in a brick industrial building offers ample room for machinery and for local artists to rent out space. |
