The ninth annual St.Vincent de Paul Society Walkfor the Poor attracted hun-dreds of local residents wish-ing to help those in the com-munity on Sunday, Oct. 21.

The walk was created tobenefit residents in the par-ish of the Holy Name Churchin West Roxbury, but orga-nizer Paul Clark said that thisyear they’ve expanded intoother areas. He said St. John

Chrysostom in WestRoxbury, Sacred Heart inRoslindale, Our Lady ofLords in Jamaica Plain andMost Precious Blood inHyde Park also partici-pated.

“This year we’re expect-ing a big increase in partici-pation, as we’ve been for-tunate enough to have fourother parishes join us,” hesaid. “They’re all publiciz-ing it in their own parishes,bringing their own walkersand they’re raising theirown money. The moneythey raise is going to go totheir own communities.Those parishes might stay

Last week on Oct. 18, Dis-trict 5 City Councilor TimMcCarthy and the BostonTransportation Department(BTD) held an informationalmeeting on the transportationchanges to Roslindale Vil-lage.

The impetus behind themeeting were complaintsfrom local business ownerson the placement of severalflex post “street diets” de-signed to slow down traffic.The street diets were imple-

mented on the WashingtonStreet side of the Square, bothalong South Street and Wash-ington. The idea was to slowdown oncoming traffic to helpreduce the risk of traffic fatal-ity, one of which occurred onSouth Street several years ago.

Residents were also con-cerned that the bus stop onSouth Street and Taft had beenmoved from in front of BirchFlower Shop further up SouthStreet.

Owner of Wallpaper City,Russell Flynn, said he has seenfirsthand buses left helplesswhen someone parks at the bus

stop illegally. The bus has toblock traffic coming downSouth Street, which in turnblocks traffic all the waydown Washington.

“I’m witnessing whereI’m right across the streetwhere the bus used to pull innext to the medical building.A lot of times you’d have acar or truck illegally parkedand the bus was at a 20 de-gree angle,” he said.

Before the move and theflex posts, drivers were able

Kaleel Sakakeeny, certified animal communicator and animal chap-lain, and Rev. Abigail A. Henrich, blessed animals and their humancompanions at a Blessing of the Animal Service sponsored by theStratford Street United Church. The community gathered at an out-door park, Billings Field, in West Roxbury and sang hymns, thankedthe creator for not only their beloved four legged pets, but also thetrees and the birds in the air. They honored all of creation whilecelebrating the love their pets bring into their lives. COURTESY PHOTOS

McMann honoredwith community

Grace McMann became the20th recipient of the HermenaClark Community ServiceAward on October 18. In manyways, it was a homecoming forMcMann, a former employee of21 years, and the atmospherewas like a family reunion.

The award, presented by theGreater Roslindale Medical andDental Center’s (GRMDC)board of directors, was given atthe organization’s annual meet-ing and buffet dinner, held atthe Boston Lodge of Elks inWest Roxbury. The Board is acorporate entity called theGreater Roslindale Health Or-ganization, Inc., (GRHO), andmembers were simultaneouslyelected that evening.

“We have wanted to givethis award to Grace for all ofthe outstanding volunteer workshe has done, even as an em-ployee,” said former long-timeexecutive director BarbaraLottero, who served in that ca-pacity for 37 years. “However,because of the rules, we had towait until after she was retiredand nominated by someone.”

“The excitement here to-night is very palpable,”Courtney Urick, the currentexecutive director at GRMDC

said as she began her presenta-tion. “Grace is a role model forall of us.”

McMann began her careerat the medical center in 1981,when it was housed in the cur-rent Registry of MotorVernicles building on CumminsHighway. She was a pediatricnurse practitioner, eventuallyacting as a preceptor for stu-dents in the field as they movedthrough the ranks.

Her greatest achievement,and the one for which McMannwas given the award, was start-ing the “Reach Out and Read”program at the medical center.She served as its coordinator formore than 25 years, includingfive years after her retirementin 2012.

“For 25 years, I put thou-sands of books into the handsof our young patients,”McMann said. “We had booksfor all ages waiting for them inthe waiting room to encouragethem to read. At each annualwellness check, we gave thekids a book to take home.”

Gina Collins, who nomi-nated McMann for the award,gave a tear-filled speech de-scribing her dedication to theGRMDC and its child patients.She also reflected onMcMann’s personal battle as abreast cancer survivor.

“I started working withGrace in 2006, and we wereboth in the pediatric unit whereshe started the Reach Out andRead Program,” she said.“When she sadly retired, par-ents and teachers still askedabout Grace and about donat-ing books to the program.”

Collins said McMann’s de-votion to helping children is a“lost art” in today’s culture.

“I really feel like Grace’slove is a legacy for the childrenof the health center,” she said.“She canvassed the neighbor-hood for gently used books forthem. She reached out to localbook stores for donations.When they came in for their

annual wellness check-ups, thechildren were excited. Theywould ask, ‘What kind of bookwill Grace give me this year?’”

“I don’t accept this awardfor myself,” said McMann af-ter hugging Collins at the po-dium. “All of the people herewere more than coworkers tome. But I also want to accept iton behalf of Mary Rourke andSydney Brodie, who are nolonger with us. This is GraceMcMann, signing off from ex-tension 183.”

In addition to the award,McMann was presented with aresolution from Boston CityCouncilor Tim McCarthy byGeourntas. She also received a

resolution from U.S. SenatorElizabeth Warren, the first timethis honor was bestowed on aHermena Clark recipient.

“I was collecting booksfrom everywhere,” McMannsaid after the ceremony. “I hada great relationship with the oldBorders bookstore manager inBraintree before it closeddown. Now I get them fromBarnes & Noble in Braintreeand Amazon at Legacy Place inDedham.”

WHAT WINTER?

Charlie, we hardly knew yeUntil Ken Burns and Lynn

Novick’s classic television se-ries about Vietnam, narrated instentorian tones by the legend-ary Peter Coyote, aired on tele-vision for a half dozen nightsabout a year ago, fewBostonians realized that a Bos-ton Public School administra-tor endured so much in thebattlefields of that country. While some may have beenaware of his background, mostwere oblivious of Roger Har-ris’ grueling life in the military.

And so it was with a neigh-bor. His house was not thatclose to ours but neverthelesshe was a friendly neighbor inPrecinct 6. And what abackstory to Charlie O’Neil’s72-year life!

To many he was “just” apolice officer. It’s always niceto have a cop in the generalneighborhood, just as it is niceto have a mechanic, plumber,electrician, carpenter, nurse,and firefighter (doctors alwaysseem to live in the suburbs) liv-ing nearby: you never knowwhen you might need some

quick advice or thoughtful ac-tion.

Before he could see his newgrandchild, Charlie died onOctober 10th of this year aftera bout ——or should I say twobouts——with cancer. Thesecondary fight with cancerwas a result of Agent Orange,so you might infer where thispiece is heading.

Charlie served with the

Army 1st Infantry in Vietnam. While serving our country (andfighting for the country of Viet-nam against communist terror-ists), he was the recipient of aBronze Star Medal with a “V”for valor, two Bronze ServiceStars, a Purple Heart, Presiden-tial Unit Citation and the Viet-namese Cross of Gallantry——the receipt of all of which wereunknown to many of us.

After leaving the service, hebecame a state trooper. Follow-ing six years as a “statie,” hejoined the Boston Police De-partment, rising to the rank ofsergeant. Before retiring, hespent most of his career work-ing in Special Operations anddriving a motorcycle.

With all these awards forvalor garnered in SoutheastAsian, there is no doubt that ifa thief were breaking into myhouse, our family would havewanted Charlie O’Neil or someclone of his to be the respond-ing officer.

May you rest in the peaceyou so well deserve, Charlie.

ENOUGH ALREADYWITH DNA DISCUSSIONS

To the Editor:As we close in on what

could be the most importantmidterm election in decades, Iso wish that the whole contro-versy over whether or not USSenator Elizabeth Warren is or

isn’t a Native American wasover.

The announcement that shehad a DNA test done provedthat somewhere far in herfamily’s distant past she indeeddid have some Indian blood asher family’s oral history hadkept alive in generations of her

family’s life.She now has proven she has

Native American in her DNA,but as many Native Americantribes state DNA does not alonemake you a Native American.Most Americans of Europeanorigin also have some low levelNative American DNA.

I believe the decision to useher DNA findings as a TV cam-paign commercial only madematters politically worse forher. However, DNA shouldhave never been a campaignissue from the get-go. Her han-dling of it now only keeps the

Letters to the Editor

My Kindof Town/Joe Galeota

Editorial

Forget what a famous poet once said about April: Sep-tember is the cruelest month. It is the month of transi-tions. It is a month of dying and grey skies. It is the timeof year when the warm winds of summer finally give in tothe cold air that will fill our lungs for months to come.

Once again, we in Boston do not care about any of that.The Red Sox are bracing 40-degree winds to bring us the“summer classic.”

If a local sports fan was to wisely bet money on whatlocal franchise would win their respective championship,the smart bucks would nearly always go in favor of theNew England Patriots. They have done it many times be-fore; so many, that we are indeed spoiled. The Sox, on theother hand, have shaken off whatever “curse” book writ-ers could try to conjure, to win multiple titles of their own.The historic success of the Bruins and Celtics, combinedwith their future prospects, add to how fortunate we arehere.

With one win already under our belts, the World Seriesis off to a great start. We know full well, however, thatjust as leaves flutter from trees and icy air rolls in, thatdisaster is always a strike away. Nothing is won until allis won. It is an attitude born of equal parts work ethic andhard lessons of the past.

So, Red Sox fans, we toast you for your hope, your re-alism, and stress strategies. We toast your loyalty, faith-fulness, and ability to always make “the right call” thenext morning. We toast your resiliency, ability to scoff atwhat the temperature says inside that little bandbox of aballpark.

We applaud that spark of life that helps us all cope witha rough change of seasons.

Let us all hope for a good season, and a series that seesour streets joyous, and safe. If we are very fortunate, allof this is ultimately a trial run for more rings, Duck Boats,and banners. At the very least, let’s walk away from the2018 season with fond memories and a chant promising tocomes back for more next year.

Have fun, everyone.

The Boston City Council islooking to make sure that newmarijuana dispensaries, bars,liquor stores and recoverycenters are not placed next toeach other moving forward.

District 1 City CouncilorLydia Edwards said the mea-sure would have to first definewhat constitutes a recoverycenter and then figure outwhat is an acceptable distancefor each facility to be fromeach other.

“We are not blind to thefacts that Boston passed over-whelmingly the legalizationof marijuana and making surethat recreational marijuana isaccessible in our neighbor-hoods,” she said. “So as theconversations continue, whatI’m seeing is a theme in atleast my neighborhood, whichis where the location of theseplaces are going to go. Thiscame to a head at a veryheated discussion recently in

with us in the years to come,or this might just be a train-ing ground for them to havetheir own events in the fu-ture.”

Clark said they raise thou-sands of dollars at every eventto help residents pay for foodand necessities in the commu-nity.

“The funds vary by years,but generally it’s been be-tween $7,000 to $12,000 ayear,” he said. “It’s beengrowing every year and theweather has always cooper-ated. There’s a lot of good wedo, people see it every week.We help if people need moneyfor paying bills, basic needs,fuel assistance, food or any-thing like that.”

Clark said the communityhas grown to support the walkevery year and he’s happythey are able to help so much.

“It feels great. When we dostuff to help people, you knowwe’re just doing it for our-selves,” he said. “We’re do-ing it for Christ and we’redoing it as representatives ofthe church community, and itfeels good that we have somuch support. It’s not just us,it’s the whole parish commu-

nity. People see us doing welland they want to help. It’s agreat thing.”

Resident Patricia Itri saidshe finds it difficult with herhectic schedule to find timeto help raise money for thecauses she believes in, butsaid this was one of theevents she makes time for.

“I mean I work full-timeat the West Roxbury VA, andit’s very difficult for me un-less I donate a card for theholidays or buy a ham orsomething, or give somebodymoney, but working Mondaythrough Friday it’s very hardto find some way to help outon the weekdays,” she said.“I want to give back some-how, it’s the least I could do.I have to do something as away to say thank you.”

Father Marty McNulty ofthe Holy Name Parish said hehas been going to the plan-ning meetings for the eventand is happy to finally seeit come to fruition.

“I go to the meetings ev-ery week and I think this isgreat,” he said. “Hopefullywe ge t more and morepeople to show up, as Paulwas saying it raises thou-sands of dollars for those inneed, so it’s a great event.”

Res iden ts , SuzaneMcDermot and ChloeLendaro said this was theirf i rs t t ime coming to theevent, as St. John’s had justjoined.

“We had a member of theSt. Vincent de Paul come toone of our gatherings and

we found out really wherethe money goes to in thecommunity,” said Lendaro.“It goes to the children andthe parents and we thoughtit was great for the childrenand great for us so whynot?”

Younger residents fromSt. John’s, Jack MacIver,Aiden Finnigan, ConnorDonovan, Fion Ryan, MikeLendaro and Sam O’Brienall said they were amazed athe support the communitythrows behind the event.

“We decided to come outand help out however wecan, and I think it’s a solidcause,” said Finnigan. “Imean it’s helping a lot ofpeople.”

“There’s a lot of peoplein need,” said Ryan.

Res iden t E l izabe thBurke pointed out that theevent doesn’t discriminateso le ly on ne ighborhoodlines, and will help nearlyanyone who asks.

“I mean the boundariesare shaky; we’re not goingto tell someone we’re notgoing to help them becausethey live in Holy Name orSacred Hear t , we a l l dowhat we can,” she said.

Res iden t Mary AnnCronin added she’s happythe organization can donateas much as it can to the cause.

The wonderful thingabout St. Vincent de Paul isthere is no overhead, no ad-ministrators, so everythingthat’s raised goes to familiesin the community,”

6East Boston where we haveone of the largest facilities,North Suffolk Mental Health,which deals with substanceabuse and mental health is-sues. Next door, literally thenext door, a lease was takenout by a recreational mari-juana facility.”

Edwards said she spokewith the owner of the dis-pensary and asked them ifthey talked to the directabutters and North SuffolkMental Health and the an-swer was no.

“I’m not trying to put inred tape or further convo-lute the access in this bur-geoning industry, but thefights are happening, thetears a re f lowing , andpeople are intense aboutth i s ,” she sa id . “ I t ’s acitywide conversation weneed to have.”

At-Large City CouncilorAnnissa Essa ib i -Georgesaid that defining what amental health treatment andrecovery center is will be achallenge. Edwards pointedout earlier that a recoveryhouse is actually designedto be “near temptation,” buta recovery center is differ-ent. Edwards said that it’sdesigned to get someoneseek ing t rea tment away

from their addiction, andEssa ib i -George sa id shewants to be clear in the lan-guage of any potential zon-ing amendment.

Essaibi-George also saidthe Ci ty of Boston doeshave the authority to amendthe current zoning.

“Curren t ly, as we a l lknow we have a buffer zonethat prevents establishmentsfrom opening within 500 feetof schools and within a halfmile of other cannabis estab-lishments; and this conversa-tion is one that we certainlycan’t wait to have,” she said.“Many of us have alreadyheard of proposed establish-ments in many of our neigh-borhood and civic associationgroups. Many of them areready to open soon.”

District 6 City CouncilorMatt O’Malley pointed outthat originally for medicalmarijuana, the process wasdependent on district citycouncilors to hold hearingsand bring forth proposals ac-cepted by the community forthe council to vote on. He saidwhile the administration iswell within its right to takethat process, he felt the coun-cil should keep an eye onthese proceedings.

“I think it’s important that

this body again exerts it influ-ence in our understanding ofthe neighborhoods. I wouldargue that we know our neigh-borhoods better than many, so

I think this is an importantconversation to have and Iwould even argue that we lookat other criteria in terms ofzoning code changes in terms

of placement of these facili-ties,” he said.

The council will be host-ing a hearing on this issuesoon.



dren patients at the GRMDCmake up the rest of the donors,she added.

Since her retirement,McMann continues to serve onthe Patient and Family CareCouncil at Dana Farber inWeymouth. She also becamethe moderator for an online sup-port group, “WhatNext,” forpatients diagnosed with breastcancer.

The Hermena Clark Awardwas named after a well-known

community activist inRoslindale who passed away in1998. She was a caregiver tomore than 60 foster children,many of whom she adopted.After her death, the board de-cided to memorialize her con-tributions to Roslindale, HydePark and West Roxbury tosomeone “who has unselfishlyserved the health needs of thelow and moderate income com-munity.” The winners also havebeen exemplars of volunteer

service in their endeavors.“The Hermena Clark Award

has gone to people doing greatthings in our communities,”according to board presidentAlex Geourntas. “Our clientscould not be served without thegreat support of our commu-nity.

Rozzie Transportationcontinued from page 1to go around the bus, but thatis no longer the case. Residentsalso pointed out that driversalso have nowhere to go to al-low ambulances through. BTDDirector of Planning VineetGupta said they will be send-ing out a notice to ambulancedrivers that they are allowed todrive over the flex posts, asthey pop right back up, butresidents pointed out that mostdrivers aren’t going to run over

a flex post for an ambulancebecause they think it coulddamage the vehicle.

“I’m literally here 24/7,”said property manager AlexCastroni. “I walk my dog overat Adams Park, and there wasan incident of an ambulancecoming up and we had thatdouble lane and everyone re-spected it. I stood up andwatched an ambulance re-cently that couldn’t get up the

street.”“Whatever changes in the

Square were made, they weredone so because (the BTD) be-lieved they were the right thingto do,” McCarthy said. “Thegood thing here is nothing isset in stone.”

BTD Transportation Plan-ner Charlotte Fleetwood saidthe move of the bus stop tookaway a net loss of three park-ing spaces, and some illegal

spots people were using beforethe BTD extended the cross-walks in the area.

Resident Robert Orthmanpointed out that those changeswere made to slow down driv-ers in the Square, and for agood reason.

“There has been significantsupport from the communityfor these changes from peoplewho walk in the area,” he said.“That corner has been a knownproblem. Cars fly around thatcorner and those flex posts outthere have made a differenceso that the drivers can now seeyou when you try to cross...Ithas to be stated that a personwas killed there. There havebeen near-misses and therehave been significant issuesand people want this stuff.”

The business owners in at-tendance also brought up theissue of parking in the Square.Many of them said they see ve-hicles ignoring the two-hourlimit and want to see some bet-ter enforcement. ResidentChris Broderick pointed outthat increased developmentcreating fewer parking spaceshas created a parking crunchin the neighborhood. Hepointed out there used to beparking when Roche Brotherswas in the Square or when theRMV was a movie theater. Hesaid that’s all gone now.

“Those parking spots aregone and those need to be con-sidered when they’re doingmore building,” he said.

Fleetwood said that no newchanges will be implementeduntil there is at least one morecommunity meeting with resi-dents, to be announced shortly,though she did say there wereplans to move more bus stopsaround the Square whichcould impact parking spaces.One resident suggested plac-ing a green-topped garage atthe Taft Parking lot.

“Part of the problem isthat a lot of people don’t wantto pay for parking at all,”

McCarthy said. “The prob-lem with the meters is thatbusiness owners can’t parktheir own cars in front oftheir businesses, which Iguess they shouldn’t... If yougo to Dedham Center nowthey just redid the wholething and they have a park-ing lot with one board. Youput your debit card in and youpay for 45 minutes and ifyou’re not gone by thenyou’re going to get whackedfor $20.”

McCarthy said the solu-tion to this may be a hybridof a program the council iscurrently working on. He saidat-home care nurses are cur-rently not able to park with-out getting a parking ticket inresident-only spots through-out the neighborhoods oftheir patients. He said thecouncil is working on tempo-rary placards for thesenurses, which give dates andtimes they can legally park inresident spaces. He said theymay be able to work outsomething like that for thebusinesses and their employ-ees, but then he said they getinto the argument of whichbusinesses gets more plac-ards.

Roslindale BusinessGroup President John Malleyasked for more enforcementform the Boston Police, andBoston Police DepartmentDistrict E-5 Sgt. ScottO’Marra said they have atleast one officer patrolling theSquare during the day on foot.

“We’ll add to our patrols,but the captain gives us 16-hours a day officers who walkthe streets and there is en-forcement there,” he said.“We have two full-time offic-ers where that’s their full-timejob.”

The BTD will host an up-date meeting in the future,which will be posted in thecalendar of this publicationwhen it is announced.

Trick-or-Treat Centre Street is coming back in all its spooky glory this week thanks to the Parkway inMotion group.

Trick-or-Treat on Centre Street returning for sixth year

Parkway In Motion’s (PIM)Trick-or-Treat on Centre Streetis coming back for its sixth year

in the neighborhood of WestRoxbury, and PIM PresidentDave Giordano says this yearshould be better than ever.

“It’s going on back to like2012 and this feels great,” he

said. “I think people in the com-munity really look forward tothe event, and it’s a great to getthe whole community out incostume.”

The event starts at 11 a.m.

at Billings Field on Oct. 27.From there, kids are encour-aged to trick-or-treat up CentreStreet to get candy from themyriad of participating busi-nesses.

The event is one of severalPIM hosts every year to cel-ebrate the community. PIMhosts the annual Easter EggHunt at Millennium Park, aswell as the Kid’s Run Club,Legend Basketball and theParkway Cup. Several of theseevents are to raise money forthe others, as well as for thegroup’s scholarship program.

Giordano said this eventwas specifically to celebratethe community, and he’s gladto see it grow every year. Hesaid while kids get to traverse

their individual neighbor-hoods, this event is able tobridge those gaps and bringeveryone together.

“It’s a chance to celebrateHalloween with the wider

community, as opposed to theneighborhoods the kids mightdo on the night of Halloween,”he said.

“We’ve got businesses par-ticipating going up and downthe street,” Giordano said. “Westart at just about LaGrangeand Centre and go all the wayup to the West Roxbury Rotary.All those businesses are par-ticipating and some businessesnot on the route will be havingtables at Billings, the HastingsStreet Lot or the Library aswell.”

Giordano said it’s beengreat to see the event growthrough the years.

“It’s been going great andit’s all thanks to thefundraising we do at the Com-munity Night and the GolfTournament,” he said. “I thinkthe last couple of years we’vebeen at Holy Name, but lastyear we were at Billings andjust seeing the number ofpeople at Billings when they

return from trick or treatingup and down Centre, that’swhen it struck me ‘wow, thereare lot of people here.’ It’s likemore than 1,000 kids partici-pated, and, hopefully, this

year the weather cooperatesagain.”

The event will also featurefree pizza for the kids in-volved as well as face paint-ing and a DJ.

“PIM pays for everythingwith funds we raise through-out the year,” he said. “Weask people to register online,you don’t have to pay to at-tend, it’s just to get aheadcount so we can estimatehow much candy to buy.”

PIM also provides aca-demic scholarships to studentsin the Parkway, and has pro-vided $55,000 in scholarshipssince 2014. In February of thisyear, they also started the nowannual Michael Kennedy Me-morial Scholarship for $5,000and had 10 other PIM Scholar-ships for $1,000 each.

EDITORIAL DECISIONMISLEADING

To the Editor:This letter serves as con-

structive criticism to the let-ter presented by this newspa-per on October 18, 2018 fromthe District 5 City Councilorregarding the proposed 500unit complex on SpragueStreet in Readville. First, theEditor placed the word “op-poses” in the caption for thecouncilor’s letter, when in-deed, that word had neverappeared in the text. He, in-stead, had expressed “I willnot be supporting thisproject”. This is a significantdifference as the person notsupporting a matter can, atthe same time, not be oppos-ing the same matter. OurState Rep., State Senator, anda Councilor At Large havebeen on record from the be-ginning of this process, sometwo years ago, as vehementopponents in support of theirReadville constituents. Ingeneral, we are somewhatpleased that the Distr ictCouncilor has taken his re-cent stance but, withoutdoubt, it is full oppositionthat is expected.

The councilor explainsthat “We have tracks (sic) ofland unlike anywhere in theCity of Boston”. It is pre-sumed he meant tracts of landand these tracts have provento be valuable in luring attrac-tive light industries to this re-gion due to the access tofreight rail, commuter rail,and state highways. Some ofthese companies were re-cently forced out of theirformer sites due to impendingdevelopment proposals and itis good that Readville can ac-commodate this diverseworkforce, as not all workersin the city will be qualified foremployment in “high tech” atthe Seaport District.

Just a half a dozen years agothe BRA, under the Menino Ad-ministration, monitored a newzoning article for Hyde Park andthis area retained the light indus-trial classification for the reasonsdescribed above and because thiscommunity was in full support.The current administrationshould not be allowing quality oflife in the community to be jeop-ardized by outside interests.
