Each year at the Backyard BBQ, CCTV recognizes individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make Cambridge a better place. This year, the Leading Role Award will be presented to three who work with youth in our City, ensuring that they remain safe and can reach their fullest potential.
Michael “Whitey” Daniliuk is an officer in the Cambridge Police Department. After 13 years in patrol, he joined the CPD Family Services Unit this year as the Youth Outreach Coordinator. A lifelong Cambridge resident, Whitey was director of the West Cambridge Youth Center from 1991-1997, is a board member Ahern Foundation and Galluccio Associates, co-Founder and co-commissioner of the North Cambridge Nite Court Basketball League, and current and former coach of various Cambridge youth sports including Babe Ruth Baseball and Cambridge Pride Basketball. This spring, he began the Man to Man Each One Teach One project, to engage positive male role models with disconnected male teens in Cambridge, in order to address negative behavioral and societal issues.

I signed up at the Senior Center
For a Digital Storytelling Class
And I certainly tried but let’s face it
I wasn’t sure I could pass.
While your voice over is telling a story
Your snapshots appear on the screen
But getting the little ‘mouse’ to work for me,
Was harder than it seemed.
You had to be quite quick
As the story began to unfold
To stop the picture at the right place
And press the key to hold.
One of the teachers guided me
And sometimes pushed the key
Because if she didn’t
The picture would have bypassed me!
So my storytelling adventure
Turned out to be just grand
But I have to be honest
It’s only because I had a helping hand.

from Cambridge Day by Marc Levy.
I would just note that CCTV does not "maintain" the Newtowne Court wi-fi; we do "monitor" the network, but have no resources to make repairs or improvements. Susan
"Cambridge’s youth centers and parks are being equipped as free Wi-Fi hotspots, with the newest center, in West Cambridge, already functioning as one. The youth centers are the priority, with assessments to be done over the summer and gear installed and working within “several months,” said Linda Turner, information technology project manager with the city.
"Her department is in the planning stages for two of the city’s many parks, she said.
"This would probably have been mentioned Wednesday at a Cable TV, Telecommunications and Public Utilities Committee meeting about the digital divide, but the meeting was canceled when key personnel weren’t able to attend, an aide to chairwoman Henrietta Davis said Tuesday. The meeting will be rescheduled for the fall.
"The wiring of youth centers and parks rates a mention in such a meeting even though it’s not really a solution to the gulf of opportunity between people with good Internet access and people without, meaning those with low or no income...
