Find ways to collaborate with others. Delegate work when you’re overwhelmed. Be open to criticism. And don’t panic when the best laid plans go a bit awry.
Those are a few of the lessons that High School in the Community (HSC) junior and literary magazine editor Samuel Rosenberg has learned in a new class focused on training current student leaders how to excel as the heads of their respective clubs and groups.

HSC grad Houston (right) offers current students college advice.
High School in the Community senior Amara Frazier-Conner sat across the table from her future self — in the form of recent grad Tyron Houston — to hear about how best to prepare over the next few months before beginning her own first semester in college.
Houston’s advice: Learn self-control, create study habits, don’t fall victim to peer pressure, and “get harder on yourself” now so you’re ready for the challenges of higher ed come September.

107-year-old Frank Sacco plays bocce on Wooster Street.
On a sun-drenched Sunday morning, a man finessed a ball down the tree-shaded bocce court at Wooster Memorial Park.
The man was Frank Sacco, who was born on 82 Wooster St. and will turn 108 in November. His ball clacked off the other balls, coming to rest near the pallino, or target. Competitors and onlookers at the weekly Society of St. Maria Maddelena bocce league match cheered.

The planned new apartment tower at 78 Olive St., now on hold.
Rising interest rates and construction costs have led a Philadelphia-based developer to push the pause button on a planned new 136-unit apartment tower — meaning that a Wooster Square surface parking lot will remain a surface parking lot for the time being.
The proposed configuration of the old plinth next to the new statue.
Now that the statue of Christopher Columbus is gone from Wooster Square Park, what should happen to the pedestal that once held it up?
The Historic District Commission weighed that question on Wednesday evening. It voted to keep the pedestal in place without a statue atop it, a few feet behind the new sculpture slated for the park.

Redeveloper Scott Reed at 2018 alder hearing. His company allegedly owes city $137K in back taxes.
Has the clock stopped on a long-delayed effort to convert a derelict former Hamilton Street factory into 130 affordable apartments?
The property’s Oregon-based developer says the project is still moving forward. Three years of unpaid property taxes, a recent default in a tax foreclosure court case, and a spate of city anti-blight and building safety citations suggest a different story.
A planned new 14-story apartment tower won its final needed city approval — clearing the way for 136 one-bedroom apartments to be built atop a surface parking lot right next door to the State Street train station.
