W W SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 By Blla iGraia BO STO N — Justin Clancy stood before a crowd of high schoolers, microphone in hand, and told them if it wasn’t for music he’d be dead. The Peabody native spoke last week in Boston during a benefit show for Northshore R ecovery High School, the Beverly alternative school for students who face substance abuse disorders. Not only did the 24- year-old singer donate the show’s proceeds to the school, his opening acts were students from the school’s music program, led by Jake Z eigler. “All my friends growing up went to that high school,” Clancy said. “I didn’t know it was an option for me until it was too late. It’s so important to have a safe place for these kids where educators are nurturing them, rather than dictating them or putting them down for behavioral challenges.” Clancy had his own struggles with addiction growing up. As a kid, he used music as a coping mechanism. But he didn’t find himself artistically until he became clean and sober at the age of 19. A few years WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 3 Justin Clancy lives for the music PHOTO | BELLA diGRAZIA Man convicted of killing dog ago, he co-founded the nonprofit New England Addiction O utreach where he worked as a community outreach coordinator and treatment advisor in ilmington. He said, as a teenager, his public school system failed him. That’s why he dropped out of high school. But that never stopped him from pursuing his dreams. “Public schools are designed to put down issues that normal kids don’t have,” he said. “R ecovery High nurtures them, loves them and cares for their well being rather than just their MCAS scores … If I can be there for these kids and show them the best high ever, which is performing, then that is what it’s all about.” Clancy visited the school recently and met with Z eigler, an old friend, and Michelle Lipinski, principal. He saw students practicing in the music FFT 30 Yrs.ai 1 8/21/2019 11:45:46 AM room and spotted the same passion in them that he has for music, he said. The students, O liver R uthurford, or “Lil Z ip,” Amber Murch, or “Lul R X SE,” F aith Brock, Joey Torsney, and Matt Ethelerio, spent the summer rehearsing for F riday’s show. Brock, 18, graduated from R ecovery High last spring. The Marblehead native said she too would be dead if she never went there. She called the school, where she now works as a peer mentor and recovery coach, her second family. Her vocal performance was backed up by the band called “R esurrection.” It may have been her first time ever performing on stage, but she was confident, she said. “I didn’t even want to do the performance at first because I didn’t think it was an option for me,” Brock said. “But my former art teacher convinced me to do it...Music is a form of therapy for me, where I can get my feelings out and onto paper.” After the benefit show, Clancy said he’s not done providing a way for kids that have followed a similar path as his. He recently moved to Los Angeles, where lots of opportunities and people are waiting for him, he said. “I’m not going to change up just because I’m somewhere else,” Clancy said. “I’ve never grown in comfortability. I am notorious for throwing myself into the fire in order to grow and succeed because I know if I’m comfortable somewhere, I’m not going to succeed.” The performer is planning a farewell show at Sonia in Cambridge on O ct. 4 , before he heads west. “I want to go there and win for everybody back home and bring it back here,” he said. “I haven’t even gotten started yet. Just wait.” COCO FROM PAGE 1 of jail time he got,” said Aceto, who launched the Coco F acebook page after Severino was arraigned last fall. “The district attorney asked for 18 months and the max imum sentence was seven years. I guess 30 days is better than nothing and as a result of the conviction, he will lose his nursing license.” O ne year ago, Everett police were called to a house on Hoyt Street following multiple calls from neighbors who said they heard a dog yelping and what sounded like an animal being beaten. hen police arrived, they found Danielle Cohen, the dog’s co-owner, in the backyard hysterical and in tears. Severino was carrying Coco, and placed the pet on the ground. Police said the animal was not moving, and its tongue was covered in blood. Severino denied killing the dog. He said while walking Coco, the dog got loose from its harness and took off. Coco was later found at the bottom of stairs on nearby Tyler Street and Severino brought the dog back to Hoyt Street. But neighbors testified they heard the dog crying in the Hoyt Street home’s yard, contradicting Severino’s account, police said. Prosecutors presented surveillance video evidence that showed the dog wearing the harness and leash in every frame.
