The hotly-debated projectat 1225 Centre St. inRoslindale may be sold to theadjacent Sophia Snow PlaceSenior Living Facility.

“This has been continuedonce before what we’re doingis we’re working with an in-stitutional abutter to effectu-ate a sale of this parcel tothem, so we’re just trying tosell this to them,” he said dur-ing the hearing.

The original project wassplit into two buildings, witha six-unit townhouse dwelling

on 1225-1229 Centre and atwo-unit dwelling on 1231A-1231B Centre. Violations forthe project include excessivefloor area ratio, excessivebuilding height, too manyunits, insufficient lot size forresidential use, and insuffi-cient setback on the side, frontand rear of the property.

The Boston City Councilmet last week and discussedsafety measures taken by gascompany National Grid aftertwo incidents in the state.

The first incident, which did

not take place under NationalGrid’s watch, was an over-pres-surization of pipes in theMerrimack Valley that led to sev-eral homes exploding and at leastone death. The second incidentdid occur on National Grid’swatch, in which a worker over-pressurized a line in Woburn, but

no explosions or injuries tookplace. After that, the state’s De-partment of Public Utilities hasput a moratorium on all non-emergency and non-compliancework in National Grid’s terri-

Roxbury NeighborhoodCouncil (WRNC) meetingsover the last few months re-garding the issue of possiblewetland contamination duringand after construction.Friends of the AllandaleWoods members came out tosay that the drainage on thesite would have spilled intothe adjacent vernal pool,which is one of two in the Cityof Boston. There were alsoconcerns of prior contamina-tion coming from the formergas station at the site. The de-velopment team said the sitehad been cleaned according tostate environmental stan-dards.

The WRNC actually votednot to recommend the projectas it was presented to thembased completely on zoningissues. The project wouldhave also required approvalfrom the Boston ConservationCommission, as it would havebuilt almost completely in the100-foot conservation bufferzone.

Friends Member FrankO’Brien said he felt this wasa step in the right direction.

“Well, we’re not directly

impacted here, as there’s noresidential abutters, but at thesame time this site is a verysensitive area, as it has thevernal pool and the wetlands,”he said. “We’re hopeful thatthe Sophia Snow Place as theabutter is talking potential al-ternate uses or developmentof the site... We totally sup-port the Sophia Snow resi-dents and their managementand we think this second de-ferral is a positive sign.”

Sophia Snow CEOCandace Cramer said she isworking with the develop-ment team and Pulgini to buythe property.

“I can’t tell you a lot morethan that at this time,” shesaid. “I will say we are cau-tiously optimistic that we’regoing to be able to find a sale

price that’s reasonable for allparties. For us, it would bewonderful to have that hap-pen, in that they would be sat-isfied receiving what they feeltheir time and effort is worth.”

O’Brien said he’s veryhopeful, and doesn’t feel thisis a delay tactic, as has beenseen in other developments.He said his work with Pulginiin the past has always beenabove board.

“I think Sophia Snow hasa very responsive manage-ment team and board, andJohn Pulgini is a very experi-enced development attorney.I think he’s giving good guid-ance to the developmentteam.”

Regardless, Cramer saidnegotiations will be continu-ing.

Alia Hamada Forrest, Ex-ecutive Director of theRoslindale Village Main Street,began with an update on SmallBusiness Saturday, an annualevent which encourages holiday

The new promised land

My Kindof Town/Joe Galeota

Back in the 1950’s whenTed Lepcio was playing for theRed Sox, most baseball playershad to work in the offseason toaugment their meager salaries. They worked as insurancesalesmen and car salesman.(Ted Williams, earning an un-heard of more than $100,000annually, could enjoy fly-fish-ing in his offseason.)

Now professional players,regardless of their sport, drawsuch high salaries that they arenot forced to work in theoffseason. Their multi-million-dollar contracts are way beyondthe average Bostonian’s abilityto comprehend.

Furthermore, a huge numberof Bostonians are in awe ofthose making more than$100,000 annually—well be-low the pay scale for professionbaseball, basketball, football,and hockey players. While theaverage cop, firefighter, andpublic school teacher make thisas an average, the tens of thou-sands of urban residents earn-ing below some sort ofMendoza line cannot aspire toever reap this type of paycheck.

The ongoing lockout byNational Grid, now extending

beyond five months, could havea happy ending right away. Itwould be interesting to hearUnited Steelworkers Locals12003 and 12012-04’s side ofthe salary dispute.

National Grid currently hasmade an offer via a 5-yearagreement of compounding in-creases totaling almost 15%that will elevate the current av-erage employee salary to$120,000-$137,000 annuallyby 2022 (the salaries include anamount of overtime not speci-

fied). With no lay-offs comingto employees with five or moreyears of service, the offer alsoincludes an 80% company con-tribution to premiums and anincrease of pension benefits forcurrent employees by 10% im-mediately.

There is also a newly de-fined 401(k) plan for new hireswith a company contributionranging from 3% to 9%. Fur-thermore, there will be in-creases in shift differentials forevening /weekend shifts, mealand clothing allowances, andoff-hour coverage pay.

Working in the trenches, lit-erally, for National Grid is notwithout frequent and imminentdanger. It would be nice tohear if the injury/fatality pack-ages for workers killed duringwork rival the generous onesaccorded police andfirefighters.

In the meantime, as thelockout continues, questionsremain for those of us who areNational Grid customers. Mayboth sides come to an agree-ment soon——an agreementthat also serves the needs of uspaying National Grid’s highfees.

Thanking Veterans Today,and Every Day

Mayor’s Column

Martin J. Walsh

Every year on November11th, we remember the armi-stice, signed on November11th, 1918, that ended theFirst World War. One hundredyears later, it can be easy toforget why we celebrate thisday of all days, as the livingmemory of that war fades. Thefact is, thousands of youngmen from Boston’s neighbor-hoods, and from all across ourcountry, put their lives on theline to defend our allies in theGreat War. Today, the legacyof that courage and sacrificeis alive all around us — in themen and women in our neigh-borhoods who continue toserve our country; the familieswho continue to sacrifice; andveterans who continue tomake Boston the great citythat it is. It is essential, thisyear and every year, that weacknowledge and thank thesehonored members of our com-munity.

More than 22,000 veteranscall Boston home. They em-body a commitment to service

that doesn’t disappear whenthey hang up their uniforms.When they come home, vet-erans continue to serve theircommunity as leaders, par-ents, teachers, mentors, firstresponders, and more. Theirvaluable contributions makeBoston a better place, and weshould be thanking them eachand every day for that.

It’s also important for us toremember that veterans andtheir families often faceunique challenges. Many dealwith deep wounds, both vis-ible and invisible. Since I waselected Mayor, I have workedhard to make Boston a citywhere veterans truly thrive,personally and professionally,throughout their lives. I be-lieve that we need to show ourveterans that we are gratefulevery single day. And one ofthe most important ways wedo this is by showing vets thatthey can ask for help, and thatthey will receive it. It’s whatwe owe them in return for allthey have given us.

These are the values be-hind some of our most ambi-tious work in the City of Bos-ton: from ending chronic vet-erans homelessness to im-proving access to supportivehousing, healthcare, recoveryservices, employment pro-grams for vets with and with-out PTSD, and much more. Aquestion I hear all the timefrom residents is, “How can Ihelp?” One of the simplest,and most powerful ways thatevery member of the Bostoncommunity can help supportour veterans is simply saying“thank you.” And that’s ex-actly what we do through Op-eration Thank a Vet.

Editorial

IMPORTANT, BUTNO SURPRISES

To be perfectly honest, Massachusetts is a state that, es-pecially in this year’s mid-term elections, ignores that oldadage about every vote counting. Aside from ballot initia-tives, watching ice cubes melt offers up more suspense thanwatching Tuesday’s vote totals roll in.

As expected, Gov. Charlie Baker was resoundingly re-elected. Other state posts went as expected to Democrats andincumbents.

Elizabeth Warren trounced underpowered challengers toretain her Senate seat. Beyond that race, the state’s variousfederal posts had a shocking dearth of challengers daring tochallenge incumbents. The most surprising upset, in fact, wasnot on election night at all. It was Ayanna Pressley beatingpopular incumbent Michael Capuano in the Democratic pri-mary for his seat in the House of Representatives.

Don’t get us wrong. We are blessed to live in a state thatcan resoundingly elect Baker, a moderate Republican, andWarren, an increasingly left-leaning progressive. Their com-mon denominator isn’t rhetoric, although Warren resorts toinvective ever more often as she mulls a presidential run.Both officials excel when they do their jobs outside of thepublic eye.

Baker, one of the nation’s most popular governors, ex-udes a quiet confidence. His job is to get “the job” done. Heis hardly a perfect governor with an unimpeachable record.Case in point: the horror show that is the MBTA. In mostinstances, however, his instincts are sound, his work ethic isadmirable and the results are measurable.

Let’s also praise Baker’s political instincts. He managedthe tough trick of rejecting President Trump, while still be-ing (in most instances) an in-state party stalwart.

What appeals most to voters may be his approach to thejob. Even his distaste for Trump was never over-the-top.Baker walked the walk with his pledge of seeking bipartisansolutions, as well as talking the talk (as evidence by his gen-teel, sincere praise of challenger Jay Gonzalez).

“Here’s the good news, [a] collaborative, purposeful andhumble approach to governing is exactly what you’re goingto get from us and from our team for the next four years,”Baker said, addressing a crowd at the Hynes ConventionCenter during his post-victory speech. He later spoke of fis-cal discipline “a reform-minded approach to governing, anda commitment to bipartisanship to state government.”

Those messages are why Baker won and why voters shouldbe thankful that he did.

As for Warren, set aside her often divisive rhetoric andinstead look at the work she has undertaken in the Senate.Many of those efforts are less politically charged than crit-ics are willing to admit. She has forged bipartisan consensusand fought for veterans, quality healthcare and the financialsecurity of middle class Americans.

A consistent theme: battling big banks and corporationsthat abusively grow their profits on the backs of commonfolk. Yes, her message can sometimes be Sanders-like in itsliberal extremes, but they do have a necessary place in ournational dialogue.

If this Tuesday’s election revealed one weakness in ourstate’s political system, it is that we still seem to have a hardtime getting quality candidates to run. The surprising num-ber of unchallenged Democrats means that, no matter howpopular Baker may be, the local Republican Party still hasplenty of work ahead if it seeks to be a ballast to an other-wise solidly “Blue” state. In the interest of democracy, wehope they can someday get their act together.

tory, pending results of thedepartment’s review of NationalGrid’s safety practices.

The hearing began with astatement given to the City Coun-cil by National Grid, but the com-pany did not send a representa-tive to the meeting.

“We remain committed tokeeping an ever-vigilant eye onsafety, continuous improvementand best practices,” hearing co-sponsor and District 6 City Coun-cilor Matt O’Malley read fromNational Grid’s Director JosephCarroll.

It should be noted that thatphrase has been used in severalother statements released by Na-tional Grid in those exact words,but from National Grid Spokes-person Christine Milligan.

“It’s disappointing, but it’salso unsurprising that NationalGrid has declined to join us to-day,” O’Malley said. “They of-fered to meet with city council-ors to discuss gas safety, but ap-parently not in this forum.”

However, National Grid’slocked out workers did come tothe hearing. After negotiationsbetween the United Steelwork-ers Union and National Gridfailed to come up with a new con-tract before the old expired, Na-

tional Grid locked out about1,100 workers on June 25.

Joe Kirylo, President of USWUnion Local 12003, said he feelsthat the biggest obstacle to gassafety is the state’s DPU. He saidhe and other members of hisunion have sent hundreds of whatthey believed to be violations andthe response was slow to noth-ing from the agency.

“I don’t state this lightly, butthe DPU is a joke,” he said.“They have a lot of problems andwe went to the DPU week afterweek demanding a meeting so wecould tell them about the safetyproblems throughout Boston andother communities, and it wasn’tafter three hours and 18 minutesafter the Merrimack explosionsthat we got an email saying,‘we’ll meet with you.’”

Kirylo said they had sent nu-merous violations to the DPU asfar back as 2011.

“We are not here over a con-tract,” he said. “We are here overpublic safety... We did not startour campaign for public safety onJune 25, and this is important, Idon’t want people to think in anyway shape or form that we justbrought up safety because we gotlocked out. This has been goingon since 2011, and I have sent

101 pages of safety incidents orthings that needed to be discussedacross the board to the Governorand the DPU and, more impor-tantly, from 2011 to 2015 to twoCEOs and two presidents of op-eration, so there’s a long historyof National Grid not workingsafely.”

Kirylo discussed the city’sgas safety problems, mainly hav-ing to do with what he believedwere out-of-date computer sys-tems on many National Gridtrucks. He said the systems allowworkers to locate and mark gasmains and distribution lines forconstruction workers or gas util-ity repair teams (so they can fixa leak).

“If you get out in front ofsomeone’s house at three o’clockin the morning to mark a gasmain, house gas service or mul-tiple gas mains and the comput-ers are down, like they have beenfor one hour, two hours, twodays, three days or more, you areliterally in the dark,” he said.“Because you don’t know wherethe gas main is, you don’t knowwhere the service is, and you donot know where to mark. And ifyou’re responding to a gas leak,and you show up with a crew thathas to bar out the main and exca-vate, you are also without infor-mation. It is almost impossible tofind and fix a leak when thosecomputers are not working.”

Kirylo also pointed out thatthere is a level one gas leak (be-ing the highest in severity out ofthree levels) found near theHaynes Early Education Centerthat he and his team logged on

Aug. 23. He said National Gridwent out and tried to fix it, buthe said after they went back tothe site to check, that as of Oct.23, the leak was not fixed andshowed 3 percent gas reading ontheir flammable gas detectingmachines.

He said they have brought upnumerous complaints of level 1leaks with the DPU, and the re-sponse from the DPU was to askwhere they got their readers.

On Jan.1 of 2017, the CityCouncil approved an ordinancebrought forth by O’Malley to re-quire that any time the city’sstreets were to be dug up, eitherfor water main repairs, electricalwork, construction, etc., the re-spective gas company in the areawould have to fix any leak if itwas detected there. National Gridsued the city and the courts re-pealed the ordinance based on aprevious law that dictates onlythe state can create or enforcelaws regarding gas infrastructure.Chris Osgood, the city’s Chief ofStreets, said the city actually hasa very limited authority when itcomes to gas infrastructure.

“Our focus is really limitedto the worksite itself, the workthey are doing to the street andthat’s sort of our span of control,”he said. “There are things out-lined in Massachusetts GeneralLaw that are out of our control.”

He said there are four rolesthe Public Works Department(DPW) plays in gas infrastructuredevelopment and repair, the firstof which is grant of location soas to make sure that any installa-tion of gas infrastructure does not

conflict with other public utili-ties or private property. The sec-ond is permitting, which allowsfor excavation and constructionwithin the city. The third is in-spections, which is overseen byKatie Choe and Mark Cardarelli,and they inspect the excavationwork on city streets. The fourtharea of work is capital coordina-tion.

“It’s to make sure we are in-vesting the city’s and taxpayer’sdollars in resurfacing roads in away that also is in coordinationwith all the utility work that hap-pens,” he said.

Osgood pointed out thatO’Malley’s ordinance was actu-ally helpful for the city, in that itrequired gas companies to sharetheir work plans and informationwith the city, which allows theDPW to schedule excavationwork in coordination with the gascompanies for repair and leakfixes.

Choe said the informationbased on specifically gas leakshas been very helpful. She saidthey have the locations of allgrade 2 leaks in the city as wellas any grade 3 leaks in schoolzones in the city.

“Grade 1 leaks, we knowthem through emergency noti-fications,” she said. “We dohave the location of all thegrade 2 leaks, all of the emer-gencies that have been workedand any grade 3 leaks in schoolzones. We are getting the grade2 and 3 leaks in real time as theyare reported to us, and also anygrade 3 leaks that are scheduledfor repair.”

State Rep. EdwardCoppinger held a fundraiseron Saturday, Nov. 3 at theKnights of Columbus onWashington Street to the de-light of about 60 residents andvolunteers.

Coppinger, dressed asRicky Ricardo/Desi Arnaz,said he felt the relatively newfood pantry could use thefunds more than he did, andso instead of setting up afundraiser for his reelectioncampaign, he felt he could usehis pull to get more people todonate to a good cause.

“I was looking around andI don’t have an opponent forthe final election, but some ofthe people I consult with saidI need to be fundraising,” hesaid. “My point was I don’tneed to do fundraising for mycampaign, I’d rather use thegoodwill and people I have tofundraise for a worthy neigh-borhood organization.”

Coppinger said he thoughtof Rose’s Bounty, a food pan-try run out of the StratfordStreet Church in WestRoxbury.

“Coming up on Thanksgiv-ing and Christmas, we have afood pantry right in our back-yard that a lot of people in the

neighborhood don’t know thatwe have,” he said.

Coppinger said the largestneed in any food pantry isfunds. He said while tradition-ally donations have beenmade of a preserved nature,more fresh food is always inneed for those who are foodinsecure.

“A lot of people needcanned goods, but what theyreally need is money so theycan buy fresh produce andmeat,” he said. “It’s fresh andhealthy food for the holidays.It was kind of last minute, wehad about four meetings with

District E-5 Boston PoliceOfficer Edward Roach then re-viewed the police blotter fromthe month of October and earlyNovember. Crime is down 17percent in District E-5(Roslindale and West Roxbury)year-to-date from last year.

When asked about break-insthat involved businesses, henoted, “Not much, but this is theseason,” referring to the upcom-ing holidays as a time whenbreak-ins can increase. He dis-tributed a flyer about how tokeep packaged deliveries safefrom thieves throughout theyear.

John Sullivan announced hisvolunteer efforts to raise moneyfor the Roslindale Food Pantry,located at the Roslindale Con-gregational Church. Cans formoney collection will be pro-vided to local businesses andSullivan and other volunteerswill be responsible for collec-tions. Sullivan asked for volun-teers to solicit contributions out-side the Village Market, Thurs-day-Saturdays during the holi-day season.

Stained glass is a toughmedium for a growing artist,but that didn’t stop a localstudent from diving in.

Roxbury Latin freshmanConor Downey recently cre-ated and donated a stainedglass project to the DeutschesAltenheim Senior LivingCenter in West Roxbury. Hesaid he first started workingwith the medium, which istime-consuming and very dif-ficult, two years ago at theDiablo Glass School inRoxbury.

“And my interest instained glass was sparked atseeing some of the completedpieces at the same studio,” he

said. “From there I was in-spired.”

Downey then went startedto work on his framed glasswindow, depicting Mary andthe Christ Child earlier thisyear for his Western Civili-zation class project . Heworked with Roxbury LatinArt history Teacher Dr. SueMcCroy as well as theDiablo. The piece is a recre-ation from the Cathedral atChartres in France and,through it, he earned theschool’s “Best in Show”award.

“The western civ projectis an assignment given to allfreshman boys, the param-eters being to replicate some-thing of significance fromwestern civilization, he said.

“During the idea process Isaw an application for what Ihad learned during the previ-ous summer. For my projectI went to the studio everyweekend for two to fourhours a day. I spent about 50hours total—researching,creating my template, cut-ting, grinding, soldering, andputting on the final touches.”

Downey said he consid-ered donating the piece be-cause he thought othersmight enjoy it, and he couldthink of no better place thanDeutsches Altenheim.

“It would be a shame forit to sit in a cardboard box


my volunteers and their vol-unteers, but it’s come outamazing.”

Coppinger said he wasvery happy with the responsefrom the community.

“We have so many prizes,and we’ve been getting a greatresponse from people andwe’re going to see a lot offunny costumes,” he said.“My wife’s a redhead and wedecided to do a couples thing,and we came up with LucilleBall and Ricky Ricardo.”

Resident and Rose’sBounty member Judy Jose-Roddy said it was amazing tohave the community and Rep.Coppinger come to supportthem.

“We thought it was fabu-lous, and we’re very gratefulto Ed,” she said. “Everyone ishaving a fun time with theircostumes. It’s for a reallywonderful cause.”

Jose-Roddy said the pan-try is doing well in the shorttime it’s been around, and isstill expanding.

“It’s going incredibly well;we serve about 500 people amonth,” she said. “On the twodays we’re open, we also dis-tribute boxes of food to vet-erans and backpacks to kids atthe Chittick School and nowwe’re delivering meals tohome-bound seniors as well.”

Residents and Rose’sBounty Volunteers Chris andAndrea Donahue said, “Wethink it’s great to have peoplestill dressing up for Hallow-een, having fun and makingmoney for the pantry,” shesaid. “I mean, I’ve still gotmy costume from Wednesdayso it’s an easy thing to do.”

The couple said they firstgot started with Rose’sBounty going to a fundraiserfor Rosie’s Place and met a

volunteer there.“We started going and vol-

unteering every second Satur-day,” he said. “It was great, re-ally, really nice to help peopleand we had a great time.”

Andrea said she was sur-prised by the need.

“There were 80 families ev-ery week who need food, andat first I was like ‘oh, they geta couple of bags of food, that’snot too bad,’ but that’s for awhole family for a month,” she

said. “That might last them aweek, so the need is there.”

Volunteer and co founderLinda Dennekamp said theystarted Rose’s Bounty whenwe were going through a roughtime at the church with dwin-dling membership, and so wehad some serious discussionswith how to move forward andwe decided to become a mis-sion-based church,” she said.“It’s more than just the tradi-tional coming in and listening

to the preachers. We still do allthat but we decided to have amission.”

Dennekamp said they hadtalked about what they weregood at first before deciding ona direction to focus on.

“One of the things we’regood at is food,” she said. “Wehad a past member, RoseArntz, who had passed awayand she had donated money tothe church, so we started thefood pantry.”

Dennekamp said thisfundraiser was an amazingtime.

Heading into the 2018 World Series between the Red Sox and Dodgers, Chief Michael Moore of the LosAngeles Police Department reached out to Commissioner Gross to see if he’d be willing to make a food-related wager as to the outcome of the Fall Classic. If the Red Sox won, the LAPD would send world famouspastrami from Langer’s. If the Dodgers won, BPD would seven 2-pound lobsters out to the west coast. Well,as you can see by the photo, in light of the Red Sox victory, the lobsters never made the trip out west as boxesfrom Langer’s showed up earlier today at Boston Police Headquarters.

Ask The DoctorHyundai Kona Ultimate AWD

Hyundai rediscovered itself a few years back and is now building some of its best cars, either here inthe U.S. or like the Kona, overseas. The base Kona SE starts out as a FWD, with a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder,147 horsepower engine and an Atkinson dual cycle CVVT transmission. Yes, CVVT is correct. Unlikethe conventional CVT, the CVVT is much different in its design and its function.

Now to the feel of this Kona Ultimate powered by a 1.6 liter, turbo-charged 175 horsepower, 4-cylinder engine, via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic that feels just like a manual transmission whenstarting from a stop. The engine RPM rises up before the car moves, just like driving a manualtransmission. The shifts are very smooth and seamless under normal acceleration. That all changeswhen the accelerator is to the floor – the shifting is firm and precise, the engine revs to the red lineand sounds great.

The Kona is a four-door, small crossover wagon. Fold down the rear seats for additional cargo space.Before this car was dropped off to me this week, I had not heard about it. It is a multifunction vehiclethat is available in FWD or AWD with a center differential lock button. The top-of-the-line KonaUltimate is a fully equipped fun, practical, and affordable car with NO excuses. The Ultimate has along list of standard equipment that is usually optional on other vehicles. Power driver’s seat, heatedfront seats, large sunroof, 18-inch tires, steering hub controls, 8-inch color multifunction touchscreen,auto dimming high beams, heads-up display, leather interior and steering wheel, blind spot monitor-ing, forward collision alert, rear cross traffic alert, lane keeping assist, plus more is available.

EPA: 26 city, 29 highway, 27 average combined MPG. The Kona FWD starts at $19,500 (destinationfee: $980). Our Ultimate Kona, as tested, was $28,700.

lots of art in the hallways,and it just seemed the righthome for my window.”

And Downey said thisisn’t just a one-off for him.He wants to continue to workwith stained glass and workon projects from his ownimagination.

“Definitely, I plan to domore stained glass projectsand potentially help out atDiablo in the future,” he said.“However, I am not sure whatexactly I plan to do, but Idon’t think I will be doing an-other recreation soon, insteadmaybe making my own tem-plates and more modern de-signs.
