The Boston Transporta-tion Department (BTD) hasbeen working with residentsand officials in WestRoxbury to improve trafficproblems on Centre Street.

Residents have beenvoicing concerns for thestreet after the approval ofseveral new developmentsin the area, and with moreon the way, citizens thinkCentre Street could becomedangerous for any mode oftransportation.

BTD Senior Planner BillConroy said that the BTD isworking on short-term itemsright now for completion in

the fall to help ease congestionand speeding problems on thestreet. The bigger issue, hesaid, is that residents are con-cerned Centre Street is becom-ing a cut through rather than aneighborhood road.

“The meeting we had re-cently with WRMS directorDanielle Joseph really wentwell, we got a lot of momen-tum with (BTD) Commis-sioner Gina Fiandaca to dosome quick fixes and fromwhat I gathered out of thatmeeting was that the generalpublic wants Centre Street tobe their street, not so much anarterial road where people arecutting through,” he said. “Youwant to slow traffic down inyour neighborhood to stop

people using it as a cut-through.”

The main obstacles tothis would arguably be thetraffic congestion on Wash-ington Street (in part due tothe work the MassachusettsWater Resource Authority isdoing on the Enneking Park-way in Hyde Park) and thecrawl that is the VFW Park-way. Conroy said that due toa recent deal with the own-ers of the 1239 VFW apart-ment development, they’relooking at opening up theVFW a bit more to help keepdrivers from being temptedto cut through neighbor-hoods and Centre Street.

While there was a good amount of healthy debate during Monday’sWest Roxbury Civic Improvement Association (WRCIA) meeting,the membership eventually approved a motion of non-opposition in a7-3 vote for a medical marijuana dispensary at 1524 VFW Parkway.

The dispensary, proposed by Beacon Compassion Center, has beenmaking the rounds in the community for months, gaining a letter ofnon-opposition from the West Roxbury Neighborhood Council, theWest Roxbury Veterans Administration Hospital and the 1515 VFWWest Roxbury Trailer Park Association. The group is also seeking aletter of non-opposition from the West Roxbury Main Streets and, ifsuccessful, they will appear before the Boston City Council this fallfor final approval.

Owner and Walpole resident Rina Cametti said the facility willhave several security measures, which includes an unarmed guard,low amounts of product and cash on the premises, a “mantrap” area,where patients are secured in a room while their credentials are veri-fied, little signage and hired Garda trucks to carry their cash. FormerWBZ-TV anchor Bob Lobel came with Beacon as a member of thecompany’s board.

Centre Street continued from page 1“As part of mitigation for thatproject, the developer put forthmoney to improve the VFWcorridor,” he said. “Right nowat the intersections of VFWand Baker, and Corey andLaGrange, the signal boxes arenot talking to one another.There was a master controllerthat was missing and (the Mas-sachusetts Department of Con-servation and Recreation) hassecured and bought a new one.That’s being installed if notthis week then next week.We’ve been working withHoward Stein Hudson to re-time and re-sequence thosesignals.”

Conroy said the new timingshould help to alleviate thecrunch during rush hour, lunchhour, or basically any hour onthe VFW.

“With those improvements,it’ll help people to stay on theVFW as opposed to trying toavoid it,” he said.

For the short-term improve-ments scheduled to finish inthe fall, Conroy said they arelooking to add flashing schoolzone signals near the entranceof the Lyndon School, as well

as 15-minute parking signs atthe corner of Centre andRedlands Road, near theSpeedway gas station.

“When we walked withDanielle (Joseph) and the com-munity, they requested a 15-minutes drop-off for that loca-tion for the business, where itwould stretch right back al-most to Manthorne Road,” hesaid. “There are a lot of peoplewho double park there.”

Conroy said they will beadding more pedestrian cross-ing signs to Centre Street, aswell as repainting pavementmarkings. For more long-termimprovements, Conroy saidoverall they’re looking to re-pave most of Centre Street inWest Roxbury.

“We want to refresh thepavement markings for short-term, but Public Works will begoing out there next spring ornext fiscal year 2019 to resur-face Centre Street as well,” hesaid. “That’s going to be resur-faced and I believe we’re re-surfacing Centre from theVFW and going all the way outto Route 1, which is a hugestretch.”

Conroy also said they areworking with developer GaryMartell to install a flashing pe-destrian sign at the corner ofCentre and Esther/GreatonRoad as part of his mitigationpackage with the city. He saidmitigation for the area aroundthe 400 Belgrade developmentwill also include road improve-ments and crosswalk improve-ments, but they haven’t beenfully hashed out just yet.

Conroy said that they arelooking at possible signaliza-tion or flashing lights for theintersections of Centre andPark, Hastings Richwood orCorey. He said they’re still tooearly in the process to have ex-act data, and they may cable(speed detection cables) thoseareas to see where the biggestproblems are and act accord-ingly.

Conroy said that once theseshort-term improvements arefinished, he wants to comeback to the community to talkabout other improvements asmore development projects hitthe neighborhood, most nota-bly the Roxbury Prep proposalat the corner of Belgrade andthe West Roxbury Parkway.

“Once we do these initialthings which would comeonline in September, I’d behappy to go back to the com-munity and do some follow upthere,” he said.

Hundreds of racers set out onSunday with the aim of raisingfunds for the Cops for Kids withCancer Charity (CKC) inRoslindale.

The eighth annual Half Wayto St. Patrick’s Day 5K was origi-nally set up by the Boston Emer-ald Society (BES), the BostonPolice Department (BPD), theBPD Running Club and the CKC.Over the years, the event hasraised thousands for the CKC,which states on its website that ithas raised more than $2.5 millionto families with children battling

cancer. The charity states that itprides itself for giving without anyobligation for the family, a “nostrings attached” donation.

Fr. Peter Nolan, BES Chaplin,started the race off with an inno-vation and thanked all those whocame out to support the cause.

“It’s a wonderful, wonderfulthing to see so many of you, oldand young and middle aged outhere. It touches my heart and ittouches all of us and I say mayGod bless you for this great effortyou’re making, rememberingthose suffering children,” he said.“God tells us to suffer the littleones to come unto him and forbidthem not, so you’re doing that

wonderful, Biblical good work ofthe Lord.”

Boston Mayor Marty Walshalso spoke before the start of therace.

“We’re here today for a veryspecial cause,” he said. “We’rerunning the Emerald Society ofthe Boston Police Department 5K,and I want to thank them for allthey do. I want to thank also theCops for Kids with Cancer andthe Boston Police running Club, Iwant to thank you all for whatyou’re doing today.”

Walsh mentioned two sib-lings, Brendan and Kaylen

Trips to Castle Island thissummer have allowed me to payrespects at the World War IIMemorial and the Korean WarMemorial, which list the 225and 20 names, respectively, whoas residents of South Bostongave their lives during theseconflicts.

South Boston’s Vietnam WarMemorial is at M Street Park,commemorating the ultimatesacrifices given by 25 soldiers,and Dorchester’s beautiful me-morial honoring its fallen com-rades in the Viet Nam conflictis on Morrissey Boulevard.

Regrettably, some other partsof the city have no such memo-rials. No such memorial recog-nizes Joe O’Callahan, whoshould have died in action butdue to the intervention of DivineProvidence didn’t. The Callahantunnel is not named for him; it

recognizes a politician’s son,who died in combat.

Two days after Evacuation/St. Patrick’s Day in 1945 the air-craft carrier USS Franklin, af-fectionately known as Big Ben,was steaming westward in thePacific with 3,500 crewmen and100 aircraft, as part of a behe-moth of an armada with 16 car-riers, eight battleships, 16 cruis-ers, and 63 destroyers aiming toput an end to the long, drawn-out war. On board the Franklinwas at least one guy fromRoxbury.

At 7 in the morning localtime, an enemy plane ap-proached before the task forcecould launch. The first bombripped through to the hangardeck, turning the 36,000 gal-lons of aviation fuel and 40 tonsof bombs into an inferno. A sec-ond bomb detonated two decks

Starting the School Year Together

Mayor’s Column

Martin J. Walsh

The start of the school yearbrings a lot change into our stu-dents’ lives: new classes, newteachers, new subjects to tackle.September can be an inspiringtime, a season that brings stu-dents, teachers and families to-gether as they work to accom-plish a shared goal: a success-ful, completed school year. ButI know starting the school yearisn’t always easy for everyone— for a lot of students, schoolcan be tough. It was that wayfor me. When I struggled as astudent, my teachers andschools helped me — and I’mproud that for all students, Bos-ton Public Schools have re-sources that are there to helpeach and every student succeed.

Here in Boston, education isa bond that brings us together.Making the Boston PublicSchools work is a collaborationbetween teachers and students,families and principals, Super-intendent Chang and myself —the entire community.

Together, we’ve been in-vesting in BPS. We createdBoston Saves, a pilot programto help families save for collegeand career training that we planto bring to every kindergartenerin the system. We’ve addedhundreds of new pre-kindergar-ten seats. We’re bringing ourmost rigorous curriculum tomore schools through Excel-lence for All. We lengthened theschool day to get elementaryand middle school studentsmore learning time. We’ve got-ten thousands more studentsinto high-quality after-schooland summer programs.

We’re seeing results. Wehave more Level 1 and Level 2schools, and a higher gradua-tion rate, than at any time onrecord. We’re closing opportu-nity gaps for BPS students. Andthere’s more to come.

This year we launchedBuildBPS, a $1 billion, 10-yearinvestment in school facilities,

curriculums, and technology.We are working to create envi-ronments where our studentscan learn to solve 21st-centuryproblems. And, underBuildBPS, we also announcedthe 21st Century Schools Fund.We’ve dedicated $13 million toprovide immediate capital in-vestments to every publicschool during this school year.Schools will be able to choosefrom a menu of investments,from classroom technology toclassroom furniture. Schoolcommunities know what theyneed best.

Boston’s educational visionis one of lifelong success, sowe’re building pathways fromearly childhood to college andcareer. College affordability isa major barrier to students na-tionwide. So this spring, werolled out our tuition free com-munity college initiative forlow-income students. We wantto make sure that all BPS gradu-ates, no matter their circum-stances, have college as an op-tion. Money should never be abarrier to opportunity.

Boston schools are home tostudents of many diverse back-grounds, and we’re making surestudents facing challenges haveaccess to the tools and supportsthey need to reach their poten-

tial. We care about every singleone of our students. An obstaclein the way of any one of theireducations is an obstacle wemust all overcome together.

I’ve experienced first-handthe importance of communitysupport. When I was in firstgrade, I got cancer. I was oftenin the hospital for treatmentsand missed a lot of school. Buteveryone around me stepped into help, from neighbors toteachers to classmates. The en-tire community was on my side.Today, every student facingchallenges of any kind shouldfeel the same. And I’m proudthat in Boston, they do.

For that, I want to thank theteachers and staff in ourschools. Thank you for bring-ing as much excitement to thefirst day of school as the stu-dents do. I know you’ve beenpreparing all summer for thisday. Thank you for your relent-less dedication. You play essen-tial roles in the development ofour young people.

Thank you to the parentsand families for supportingyour children. The hours ofback to school preparation,pick-ups and drop-offs, andhomework help does not gounnoticed. You are building astrong foundation for yourchildren’s futures.

Together our communitysupports the most talentedkids in the country. I couldn’tbe prouder of Boston’s youth.So lastly, thank you to the stu-dents for coming back eachyear with more passion andenergy than the last. You in-spire me every day and I willnever stop working to makesure you have the resourcesyou need to succeed.

I wish our students, par-ents, and families a fantasticschool year filled with amaz-ing experiences inside and out-side the classroom. Have agreat year!

DON’T LET THEMEMORIES FADE

Editorial

Yet another anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 haspassed.

A truly minor detail of those observances is the responsi-bility that befalls a publication like ours. With an amplifiedvoice, the media has a true responsibility to help steer andcollect remembrances, and facilitate the day of grief and re-flection. Of course, in the scheme of things, our words aredestined to be no more than minor trifles. Nevertheless, thereis an understood responsibility. We do the best we can.

So, great and wonderful, we feel the need to add perspec-tive and commentary. But what do we write? How do we usethe printed word for the intended reflection? At this point intime speaking of American resilience is a bit old hat. It is, ofcourse, a true and fair observation, and an important talkingpoint, but also one our dear readers have heard persistentlywhenever black clouds gather.

Should we rail against terrorists? Sure. Maybe. The sadtruth however is that anger cannot bring back loved ones andcherished landmarks. In fact, an eye toward retribution post-attacks have nearly doubled the amount of American bloodspilled.

And so it remains. The challenge we have before us ishonestly conveying the many feelings within, without trip-ping into treacle.

This year, our mission and challenge were given a newclarity.

Horrific hurricanes ripped apart houses and lifestyles, pre-dominantly in Texas and Florida. The devastation from thestorms will cost tens of billions of dollars to repair. The liveslost can never be restored.

Here, however, is what happened in the aftermath: Americarose to the challenge. There are glimmers of hope in full, un-abated growth.

Folks lent a helping hand. They donated money. They trav-eled to the zone of destruction to bring food, supplies, andcomfort. Americans are already rolling up their sleeves, pull-ing on work boots, and helping to clear debris and rebuildwhat they can.

For those who cannot be there or physically help, dona-tions are pouring in.

Recovery efforts are proof of the best within both the Na-tional Guard soldiers who are assisting and the civilian ranksalongside them.

An echo to all this is how America came together after 9/11. Politics were cast aside. Cultural differences were ignored.Even the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry was put on hold. The one,and only agenda: helping others in their time of crisis.

Whenever there is tragedy, you can count on the people ofthe United States to lend a hand in whatever way they can.That, we suggest, is what makes this nation so resilient. Itmay not always seem that way, but we are all in this together.

Crowley, who were running fortheir sister Shannon. ShannonCrowley originally started the raceoff in 2011 and was a recipient offunds from the CKC, but passedaway in 2014 at the age of 8.Walsh also asked runners to keepthose in affected areas of the re-cent hurricanes in their thoughts.

“As you’re running today Iwant you to think about the peopleof Houston and Florida who aregoing through a very difficult timeobviously with the hurricanes hit-ting their areas,” he said.

Walsh added that the day wasa beautiful day for running and hewished the runners well.

“The sun’s out, there’s footballtoday, so I’m done talking,” hesaid. “Have a great race every-body!”

Half Way Race continued from page 3Resident Greg Tobin said he

came out because the cause wasworth it and the course was beau-tiful.

“I’ve done this once before, Ilike it because it’s a nice smallcommunity race, it’s like the sud-den infant death syndrome race(Run for Tighe) coming up,” hesaid. “The track is almost thesame; it’s a little hillier, whichis fine, take your time.”

Residents Brandon Sisson,Ali Walendziac and JustinBonnick said they all came outafter hearing about the racefrom another branch of the jus-tice system.

“So actually the two of uswere interns at the SuffolkCounty District Attorney’s Of-fice and obviously the BPD

came over and handed out somefliers, and it supports a goodcause so we decided to do it,”Sisson said.

Residents Mike Cane, JulieMarcantonio, Rich Perito andPatrick Donagon said theycame out because they heardabout it years ago from familyand friends. Cane said thoughhe was down in New York Cityfor a long time, he started rightback up again when he movedback home.

“It’s a great race, I ran it like15 years ago and I moved backhere about four years ago and Ihave run it ever since,” he said.“It’s a beautiful run a beautifulcourse and a great cause.”Many runners were returning this year, while some were new to the

Marijuana continued from page 1The vote for non-opposition

resulted more from the WRCIAnot wanting a recreational facil-ity there in the future. On July 1,2018, the retail recreational mari-juana laws go into effect, and re-tailers can put in recreational fa-cilities where ever the laws allow.The new Boston zoning regula-tions, put into effect by the Bos-ton City Council, requires a bufferzone of a half mile between anymedical marijuana facility. CityCouncilor Michael Flaherty, whohappened to be at the meeting tolet residents know he’s running inNovember for re-election as an At-Large City Councilor, said he’scurrently working on zoning regu-lations for recreational facilities aswell.

Regardless, the buffer zonesrequired by the state legislationstipulate that no facility, medicalor otherwise, can be within 500feet of an area where childrennormally congregate (schools andparks), and Beacon has stated be-fore, as well as former competi-tor for the VFW space, the MassPatients Foundation, that WestRoxbury essentially has no otherlocation that will satisfy these re-

quirements. WRCIA PresidentMarty Keogh said while he’s per-sonally against the dispensary, hefelt it’s still better than a possiblerecreational space come July 1.

“If this is going to come any-way, your facility sounds headsand shoulders above anyone else,”he said to Beacon.

Cametti pointed out that can-nabis in many instances both re-duces opioid addiction in thestates it is legalized and opioid-related deaths by 25 percent inthose same states. He and severalother members of both the Mass.Patients and Beacon stated thatwhile users of marijuana can getdependent on it, there are noneof the physical withdrawal symp-toms like opiate-based narcoticshave.

“Reports from the Journal ofAmerican Medicine state that ifyou were in a state with a robustset of medicinal marijuana regu-lations, opioid deaths have de-creased by 25 percent,” she said.“That’s one of the things that themedical community is starting tounderstand and come on boardwith.”

Many residents were skepti-

cal to those claims at the meet-ing. Joseph Goode said he hasn’tseen definitive studies from U.S.medical organizations reportingapproved uses for medical mari-juana.

“The medical community hashad their hands a little tied be-cause it’s still federally illegal,they will walk a different walk ifand when it becomes widely ac-cessible, you have so many doc-tors so passionate about this,”Cametti said.

The WRCIA approved themeasure with the stipulation thatthey do not turn into a recre-ational facility down the line,which many residents were wor-ried about. Cametti said the prod-ucts offered by medical facilitiesprovide concentrates and specificstrains of the plant for specificresults, while a recreational fa-cility does not have many ofthose products. The most press-ing example would be canna-bidiol hemp oil, or CBD oil,which has no psychoactive ef-fects and has been shown, at leastanecdotally, to stop seizures inepileptic patients and stop trem-ors in Parkinson’s patients.

Pilot Program ends for BostonPolice body-worn cameras

This week marks the end ofthe long fought for body-worncamera pilot program of theBoston Police Department. Forone year, upwards of 100 po-lice officers across the city –including members of theCommand Staff – have donnedthe devices as part of an effortto expand its toolkit in the areaof community policing.

Earlier this week, membersof the Boston Police CameraAction Team (BPCAT) sent anopen letter (attached) to Com-missioner Evans calling on theBoston Police Department toimmediately release their planfor full implementation beforethe end of 2017.

Enclosed in the letter areseveral requests for informa-

tion on how the Boston PoliceDepartment plans to move for-ward on implementing a per-manent body-worn camera pro-gram. Those requests includean initial report on findingsfrom the pilot program, a pre-liminary budget proposal re-quest to the Walsh Administra-tion indicating a seriousness inmoving forward with a perma-nent program, and the conven-ing of a meeting betweenBPCAT members, partner orga-nizations, BPD representatives,and union officials.

We are hopeful that MayorWalsh, as the chief executiveof the City, will support Com-missioner Evans as he works toquickly fulfill both our re-quests, and the demands of the

entire Boston citizenry – whohave stood with and behindBPCAT and its partner organi-zations for 1,126 days – to es-tablish a permanent body-worncamera program.

We encourage Mayor Walshand Commissioner Evans not toshift their responsibility to en-act this program to the expertNortheastern researchers whowere enlisted to study the out-comes of the pilot program.Rather, they should acknowl-edge what we already know,and what the researchers willconfirm with their study: thatbody-worn cameras are a use-ful tool in creating greatertransparency and achieving amuch-needed record of ac-countability in Boston.


The next Mayor of Roslindale?

The face of this year's only candidate for the Mayor of Roslindale is abit different than those of years past.

The Roslindale Parade isshaping up to be one to re-member this year, and it’s the42nd run through the neigh-borhood.

This year, in the 15th yearof the Mayor of RoslindaleContest, so far only one can-didate has been put forth,Doug McClure’s dog Rozzi.

“It throws an interestingtwist on it,” said RoslindaleParade President TomDonahue.

The contest has been moreor less a fundraiser for the pa-rade, and there will be afundraising night event onSept. 16 at the Emerald Soci-ety in Roslindale at 8 p.m. Thesociety is also holding itsninth annual Half Way to St.Patrick’s Day Road Race onSept. 10, this upcoming Sun-day, at 11 a.m.

“Doug is a former GrandMarshall and Mayor ofRoslindale himself,” Donahuesaid. “Last year we didn’thave the contest because wewere having trouble gettingcandidates, but Rozzi isDoug’s golden retriever, andwhen he put him up for thecontest, who are we to sayno?”

McClure said he came upwith the idea because so manypeople in his neighborhoodknow Rozzi, as she is defi-

nitely a friendly dog. He saidshe greets all passersbyaround his home on BelgradeAvenue.

“My house is on the cor-ner and Rozzi, she’s like thelittle mayor of that corner,” hesaid. “Everybody knows hername, they all seem to knowRozzi – I think that’s kind ofcool.”

McClure is hosting afundraiser at the Boston Em-erald Society on Birch Streetin Roslindale Square on Sept.16 from 8 p.m. to midnight,after the Roslindale Porchfest(pending rain). McClure saidthe event should be a blast.

“I’m looking forward to

this. We have a band, TheBirths and the Babymakers,and we have Rozzi runningfor Mayor, it should be great,”he said.

McClure said he felt thatadding a new twist to the con-test could help get more resi-dents involved, as everyoneloves dogs.

“People love it, they thinkit’s a great idea and a greatspin and it’s just somethingdifferent,” he said.

McClure said he’s beenparticipating in the paradesince he was a kid and lovesthe atmosphere and sense of


Rozzi Parade continued from page 7community it brings to theneighborhood.

“I’ve always loved the pa-rade because I think it’s greatfor the community and I ranfor mayor many years ago andthe last few mayor campaignsdidn’t raise much so I said thatwould be something differ-ent,” he said. “I’ve been aRoslindale resident for 56years, so I’ve been going tothe parade since I was a kid.Of course, when you becomea business owner you getmore involved.”

Donahue said there is stilltime for more nominations;the deadline is Sept. 25.

The parade will also behonoring resident Glenn Wil-liams as this year’s GrandMarshall, along with the Sa-cred Heart School. Donahuesaid the parade usually hon-ors someone in the commu-nity, but this year thought itwould be a good idea to honora business or community or-ganization like Sacred Heart.

He added it was a kind ofdouble honor for the school,as Williams is also the art di-rector there.

“It’s also the school’s100th anniversary this year,and our theme for the paradeis education and the door tothe future, which really en-compasses all schools, but werecognized Sacred Heart be-cause of their anniversary,”Donahue said. “Glenn washonored because he’s also thego-to guy for everything inRoslindale.”

Williams said he was veryhonored to be named GrandMarshall, along with thehonor his school received.

“Well, I’m very, veryproud, it threw me off just alittle bit, the parade goes bymy house every year since itstarted, so we’re always a partof the parade, but when I gotthe call to be Grand Marshall,it was very humbling, youknow?” Williams said.

Williams added that his re-sponsibilities for the paradeare very, very stringent.

“I think I get to put on aclean shirt and walk up frontsomewhere,” he said laugh-ing. “I also get to march withmy school, I have such a closerelationship to Sacred Heart,I’m really, really happy I waschosen to share the spotlightwith Sacred Heart.”

Williams said he actually

went to school there in the1960s and has been teachingthere for a decade.

“I love it because I’m thearts director and I get to teachevery kid in the school, andit’s always a full classroom ofkids of different ages and cul-tures, so it’s very exciting,” hesaid. “We’re a STREAMschool, which combines themajor elements of elementaryeducation, which for us in-cludes science, technology,religion – as we’re a Catholicschool – engineering, arts andmath. So that means I’m go-ing to have kids here in thearts classes tied directly totheir math or science classes,and we collaborate with theother teachers and so they’llgo to their technology classfor instance and hear some-thing they heard in art class.”

The parade is on Oct. 1 at1 p.m. and will go throughoutthe Roslindale. There will befire trucks, police vehicles,Shriners, and a whole host ofschool marching bands per-forming.

Toadvertise,


Boston’s own Junior Damato, “The Auto Doctor” has agreed to field auto repairquestions from Bulletin and Record readers. Please forward your questions to

[email protected] and we will do our best to get your questions answered.

To the Doctor: I own a 2001 Corvette and it has a fault in the steering column. Theengine will start and run, but as soon as I attempt to move the car, the engine shuts offand I have to wait a few minutes before it will restart. I called the dealer and explained theproblem. They ran the VIN# and said the recall for this problem had been done in 2006and that the cost of the repair (anywhere from $500 to $900) would be on me. I know youwork on these cars at your shop. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative fix?

From the Doctor: The steering column lock module has been an ongoing problem onCorvettes. A failing module shuts the fuel off at 2.5 miles per hour. To fix it with thefactory GM parts is expensive. The steering wheel often has to be removed and the base ofthe steering wheel, where the puller is attached, can sometimes crack. However, I do havea solution that works perfectly. The bypass module cost is less than $60 (with shipping), ismade in America, and is an easy installation. The electronic part is called Steering LockModule Part #LMC5. It fits Corvettes from 1997 through 2004. This module simulates aproperly functioning column lock. The bypass module is installed in the right side footwellkick panel. The installation takes 15 minutes and comes with directions – there is even aYouTube video. The company, located in Malibu, CA, is called Compliance Parts, LLC.They also have tech support, if needed.

Junior Damato began servicing vehicles in 1969. He owns a 10-bay auto repairservice center in Hyde Park and an 8-bay center in Middleboro. Junior is anASE-certified Master Technician, ASE-certified L-1 and ASE-certified Natural Gas.

teams, I’ve felt that WestRoxbury really got behind us.When they see that we comeout and work hard, it makesthem appreciate the football,and it’s also what we want toput on the field.”

However, fans walked awayAlbert M. Todesca Jr. Field dis-appointed after watching thePioneers outplay the Knightsfor 48 minutes.

A Will Fay field goal in thesecond quarter was the onlypoints CM could muster againstSJS.

While a few errors weremade, Knights senior quarter-back and team captain BrantKeogh threw many impressivecompletion passes during thegame.

With a whole lot of footballleft to be played, the hope fromCatholic Memorial FootballDirectors is to build off the suc-cess seen last year.

When asked about how hethought last season went, CMAthletic Director CraigNajarian said he was thrilled atthe impetus shown by the boysall year long.

“I think we had a ton ofmomentum with our program,”Najarian said. “We went 7-4and winning on Thanksgivingwas a sort of a culminatingmoment.”

Najarian says that theschool is excited to bringaboard new faculty members,and also for the return of a fewlongstanding faculty veterans.

“Coach Capodilupo will beworking with our defensiveline, which he’s done for a fewyears,” Najarian said. “For ournew staff, Ashby Christian isjoining us and he’ll be work-ing with our running backs anddefensive backs. He was alsothe coach at Norfolk Academy

for a short time. Brian McCraywill be our offensive coordina-tor. We also have some new as-sistants that have joined us aswell.”

Williams said the skill ac-quired by younger players thisseason will hopefully lead theprogram to where they want itto be.

“We got a great group ofkids and a lot of young talent,”Williams said. “They’re hungryto learn and they’ve workedreally hard, especially over thesummer. I think this group ofcaptains has done a great job aselected leaders. Hunter Tully hasdemonstrated how impactful hecan be, as has Nick Goffredo, theother captain. Dan Boyle is aveteran starter that’s been start-ing for three years now andthose are the kind of kids thatwe rely heavily on. Overall, Ithink the team plays well collec-tively as a group.”

One young freshman in par-ticular was cited by captainBrant Keough as being a playerof keen interest.

“Adding Jack McGowan’slittle brother, Owen McGowan,was a big thing for us,” Keoughsaid. “He’s only a freshman, butwe expect him to have a big im-pact.”

When asked where he hopesthis team will be at the end of it all,Najarian said that the goal is alwaysto be hoisting up a trophy comeNovember.

“I never set predictions, but thegoal is always to win the wholething,” Najarian said. “So, we’llshoot for the sky and see what hap-pens.”

Galeotacontinued from page 4the room.With most of the ship engulfedin flames, two destroyers, at nosmall risk to themselves, movedwithin several hundred feet toplay their hoses on Big Ben,whose own damage control boyswere struggling to contain theconflagration. Other ships in thetask force came to help.

Many of the Franklin’s sail-ors remained trapped belowdeck. As the bodies of the deadand the severely injured werelaid on the flight deck, Fr.O’Callahan administered Ex-treme Unction - later known asthe Last Rites and now currentlyknown as Sacrament of the Sick.

With Big Ben dead in thewater, Fr. O’Callahan groped hisway through smoke-filled cor-ridors to lead sailors trappedbelow deck to safety. He ignoredhis claustrophobia to go to oneof the gun turrets, from wherehe passed hot shells outside sothat they could be thrown intothe sea. Not stopping here, heurged the men on and began han-dling fire hoses himself to thwartmore explosions from the maga-zines.

Eventually, the USS Pitts-burgh started towing the mori-bund aircraft carrier back toPearl. Eight hundred and thirty-two sailors died and nearly 300were wounded, to be treated for48 consecutive hours by themedical staff of the USS SantaFe, which had wedged itself intothe Franklin to expedite thetransfer of the burned and oth-erwise wounded. Up to thistime, no other US naval ship inhistory had endured such ter-rible losses and remained afloat,giving rise to the alliterative de-scriptor: Big Ben Bombed, Bat-tered, Bruised and Bent But NotBroken.

A shower of awards layahead for the Franklin’s men.Two were for the Medal ofHonor, 19 for the Navy Cross,22 for the Silver Star, 115 for theBronze Star, and 234 Letters ofCommendation.

Roxbury’s Fr. O’Callahanwas one of the Medal of Honorrecipients, the only chaplain ofany denomination to receivesuch recognition during WWII.President Harry Truman did thehonors in 1946. A track star, thisJesuit went on to teach math atHoly Cross and Boston College,but nothing could match what hetaught his shipmates that day inthe South Pacific.

Interesting to note, the Bos-ton Public Library in CopleySquare has only one copy ofO’Callahan’s gripping autobio-graphical “I Was a Chaplain onthe Franklin” and it is not evenavailable for check-out. Thereare six other copies in Massa-chusetts public libraries.
