The Deutches Altenheim’sannual Veterans Day Serviceand Wall of Honor took placeon Saturday to a crowd of al-most 100 residents, veterans,officials and serving military.

The event honors the veter-ans of the neighborhood andthose staying at the GermanCentre. It has become a main-stay every Veterans Day, withmore photos and stories from

vets going up on the Wall ofHonor.

Newly-appointed CEO ofthe German Centre, MichaelLincoln, said the transition to thenew job has been tough, and thatlikes to make his rounds throughthe building more than once aday, and he often finds himselfreading the Wall of Honor dur-ing that time.

“I’ll read one of the biogra-phies and look at the photos andI’ll understand automatically,you know, what am I complain-

ing about?” he said. “A bad dayI had compares nothing to whata veteran or someone doingservice for the country en-dures.”

State Sen. Mike Rush, anIraq War veteran, lieutenant inthe Navy Reserve, and Senatechairman for the Joint Com-mittee on Veterans and FederalAffairs, said that while it isgood and proper to honor vet-erans, there is still much work

Town hall connectsveterans throughout

the ages

Members of the public came out to hear the stories of veterans like Lt.Charles Fazio (right) and what service meant to them.



The City of Boston VeteranServices held a Veterans TownHall event on Friday at the Ar-mory at Faneuil Hall, and doz-ens of residents and veteranscame out to hear the storiesfrom those who served.

As the speakers hit the po-dium, it became clear that fromall those involved, from WorldWar II to Operation Iraqi Free-dom, that veterans are a familyin their own right. Many saidthe connections they garnered

from service were readily ap-parent during the event, and itwas a great way to connect al-most 100 years of service downthe line.

Marine David Wu said itwas gratifying to hear that,while the theater might havebeen different, veterans are stillveterans, wherever they serve.

The North End WaterfrontNeighborhood Council(NEWNC) met on Monday thisweek and discussed several is-sues currently facing the neigh-borhood.

The most apparent problemcoming up at the meeting wasan influx of rats at the Joe’sAmerican Bar and Grill at 100Atlantic Ave. NEWNC Presi-dent John Pregmon said theyhave been reaching out to Joe’s,but said the corporation has notreturned any messages or calls.

“Joe’s American appears to

have quite a station of rats,we’ve reached out to him aboutthis a few times, but they’vebeen largely unresponsive,” hesaid. “I know Inspectional Ser-vices was out there today andis on the problem, making surewe get rid of these rats, how-ever it doesn’t appear there hasbeen too much success rightnow.”

The problem has been on-going for almost a year, as anOpenTable review from Febru-ary details rats “running aroundthe dining room.”

Midway Cafe honors lost comrade

The Working Poor USA performed with several other local punk and hardcore acts to benefit the Delta Dogcharity.



South Boston resident KeithBrooks started the Midway CafeHardcore and Punk VeteransDay Benefit Matinee about fouryears ago, and every year thescene has come out to supportveterans and their families.

This year, organizer SeanConnery said they’re comingout to support his memory, as hepassed away last year. The eventsupported a different veteransorganization every year, with theDelta Dogs being the recipientthis time around.

“He was in the navy attachedto the army and he was in Iraqand Afghanistan for six years,”Connery said. “He passed awaylast year, but he’s been doingbenefit shows every year for thelast four years, and after he died,I kept it going in his name.”

Connery said Delta Dogswas designed to help veteranssuffering from PTSD, and he feltBrooks would have supportedthe idea.

“They train up dogs to be ser-vice animals for vets withPTSD, and last year we ben-efited Sparta, which is like asleep-away camp for vets withPTSD. Keith had PTSD and Iknow it was something that wasreally quite important to him,”he said. “We got a friend of histhat helps coordinate what kindsof charities we’re going to do.

All the money we raise here to-day is going to go to Delta Dogin Keith’s name.”

Connery said the MidwayCafe has been great to them, andhe thinks they’ll keep the eventgoing for Brooks in perpetuity.

“So the guy who’s the book-ing agent here, Nick Blakey, hesaid ‘just every year, just assumeyou have this date,’” he said.“We did this benefit last year andalso last year we did a benefitfor Keith’s daughter. We did adouble-header, there were twoshows here on the Saturday andone show on the Friday atFirehouse 13 in Providence, soover five shows in four days weraised $7,000 for his daughter.Keith was very well-loved.”

Connery said the punk andhardcore scene in Boston is es-pecially supportive, and theyraise thousands every year tohelp veterans and those theysupport.

“In this genre of music atleast, you’ll find that the peoplehere really care about eachother and this is the type of(stuff) that we do,” he said.“There’s always benefits goingon. You know we raised $7,000for Keith’s 7-year-old daughterand that’s why we do this. Hewould’ve been the first personout here to do this if it was forme, so we have to do the same.If it was one of us, Keithwould’ve been doing it for usso we’re just returning the fa-

vor.”The Welch Boys, The Dam-

aged, Held Hostage,Out.Live.Death and WorkingPoor USA all played the showfor free. Held Hostage memberFugi LaPlante said the dedica-tion to Brooks was whatbrought them all together.

“One band, Out.Live.Death,came all the way up from LongIsland to play a show for free,because Keith loved all thoseguys,” he said.

Steve Morton, a fill in gui-tar player for Out.Live.Death,said he, the band, and hisformer band Live Fast Die Fasthave made the trek up to Bos-ton from Long Island for yearsfor Brooks’ show.

“He was a fan but also a re-ally good friend of ours,” hesaid. “When they asked me tofill in because their guitarplayer had moved down toNorth Carolina, I said of course,it’s for Keith so I’m down.”

Morton said though he’s allthe way out in Long Island, theMidway has always held a spe-cial place in his heart.

“I love the Midway, it’s thebest, I’ve played here with abunch of bands over the years,and I love this venue so when Iheard it was at the Midway, Iwas there, and I’m glad to playfor Keith.”

Resident Matt Shea said hecame out because Brooks hadalways been a good friend tohim, and he wanted to supporthis vision.

“I came out for this benefitfor my buddy Keith,” he said.“I knew Keith for about fiveyears, and he would honestlylove this, absolutely.”

Resident Brian Weckbachersaid the same of Brooks, andfelt that it was the least theycould do for a good friend.

“We’re remembering a goodguy in the Boston punk andhardcore scene, and every Vet-erans Day we get together to seesome good music for him,” hesaid.

America is a nation on themove, and so is Boston.

All over the country wordsare being truncated to enablefaster communication. For in-stance, “cell” replaces “cellu-lar phone” just as “hippo”serves for “hippopotamus” and“rhino” for “rhinoceros.”

In case you’re wonderingwhat “wi-fi” stands for, itstands for nothing, not even“wireless fidelity,” unlike “hi-fi,” the shortened form for“high fidelity.”

Now after architects and en-gineers built this beautifulbridge some years ago connect-ing Charlestown to downtown- now an iconic Boston land-mark both at night and duringthe day across the Charles River- it was given a hyphenatedname to serve two constituen-cies: the Leonard P.

City, food bank, start holidayseason with Giving Chain

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Mass. Gov. Charlie Baker and members of the Greater Boston Food Banktossed turkeys last week as part of the Thanksgiving Chain of Giving.

PHOTO COURTESY CITY OF BOSTON MAYOR'S OFFICE


City officials, state repre-sentatives and members of theGreater Boston Food Bank(GBFB) kicked off turkey sea-son this year once again withthe Thanksgiving Chain of Giv-ing event last week.

Catherine D’Amato, Presi-dent of the Greater BostonFood Bank, said this is just onesmall part of what the GBFBdoes to provide millions ofmeals to residents in EasternMassachusetts. She said thanksto the efforts of residents andthe GBFB, they’ve been able tohelp end hunger in the region.

“It takes all of us, that realpublic private partnership, toreally end hunger across Mas-sachusetts,” she said. “Our vi-sion to end hunger involves allof you, so making sure that noone in our state wakes up hun-gry. It takes all of us workingtogether and this collective hu-man chain is quite representa-tive of that, standing side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder,moving food that feeds people.”

D’Amato said though thework they do is impressive,there’s always more that can bedone.

“The Food Bank worksacross the 190 cities and townsof Eastern Massachusetts, morethan 500 agencies receive thisfood and then directly distrib-ute it to their communities,” shesaid. “We constantly need to domore. We have achieved morethan 50 million healthy mealsnow of distribution, that’s re-markable and it’s a huge ac-complishment.”

D’Amato said that one ineight residents in eastern Mas-sachusetts and one in 10 in thecountry risk hunger every day.She added that they’ve alsobeen able to increase their dis-tribution to include more freshproduce, and said that morethan a third of the food that isdistributed is fresh.

“Ten or 15 years ago, theGreater Boston Food Bankcouldn’t move a carrot,” she

said. “Not one. And now, freshproduce is well over 30 percentof that distribution.”

Boston Mayor Marty Walshpassed more than one turkeyduring the event, and said thecity is always working to getmore food to those that need it.

“This is an incredible tradi-tion, every year what we dohere at the Food Bank and theloading of the truck and youhope that every year that as weunload it the need gets less andless, and unfortunately itdoesn’t always happen thatway,” he said. “The GreaterBoston Food Bank is certainlyan important and as a compas-sionate organization, forgiving,in making sure that familieshave the same things that all ofus do.”

Walsh said he saw the itemsof food going through thechain, and thought of how somepeople can take these traditionsas the norm for everyone, whenthat is not necessarily the case.

“I thought to myself how forgranted some people take stuff-ing at the dinner table thinkingit’s automatically there, and Istarted to look over and saw thecranberries, the vegetables andthought about how fortunate weare to have what we have andit’s important that we continueto do what we do here,” he said.“Fifty-seven million pounds offood gets distributed. On an in-dividual meal basis, think about

this for a minute: 48.1 millionmeals come out of this facility.Forty-eight million meals forpeople, for families, for youngkids; the impact that the FoodBank has on people is abso-lutely incredible.”

Massachusetts Gov. CharlieBaker said he’s glad to see theGBFB grow and provide moreand more food for the state.

“When I look around thisfacility and I think about howmuch product comes in hereand goes out every single day,and how big the network theFood Bank works with and hasgrown to be and sustained overtime, you have to start with atremendous amount of appre-ciation for the work thatCatherine and her team and allof the partners that she workswith and you work with everysingle day here in the Common-wealth get done,” he said. “AndI get the fact that we’re head-ing into a holiday season, butthe difference for a lot ofpeople between having achance to enjoy the holidayseason the same way every-body else does is really in manyrespects a function of millionsand millions of meals that aregoing to be delivered throughthis organization and this foodbank and the partners it workswith over the course of the sea-son. You should all be enor-mously proud to be part ofthis.”

AWVC looking for new faces

The Allied War VeteransCouncil (AWVC) held a Vet-erans Social event on Mon-day at the Capo Restaurant inSouth Boston to celebrate thecontributions of veterans tothe city and to try to attractnew members to the cause.

The AWVC is best knownfor running the South BostonSt. Patrick’s Day and Evacu-ation Day Parade everyMarch. The council has beenmired in controversy in re-cent years for res is t ingmoves to be more inclusiveto the LGBT community, butDave Falvey, the new com-mander at the Allied WarVeterans Council and ArmyNational Guard member,said the event was to createa better connection to thecommunity and open thework up to new and youngresidents.

“As the AWVC, wewanted to reintroduce our-selves to the community,” hesaid. “You know, sometimesour name is in the paper notalways for the best reasons,so we really wanted to havepeople recognize that we’vegot some new energy, somenew approaches and we’re

trying to get new people in-volved.”

Dozens of residents cameout to support the counciland the event, and Falveysaid it was encouraging tosee.

“For Veterans Day week-end, getting friends out andsupporting our veterans iswhat it’s all about,” he said.“It’s a Monday night, therewas a late Patriots game lastnight and it’s not so nice outwith the rain, so those thingsare working against us but Ith ink we’ve got a goodcrowd here and a lo t ofpeople support what we’retrying to do.”

Falvey also introducedthis year’s Chief Marshal forthe parade, which will beBarbara Signor, a wel l -known member of the SouthBoston community, a mem-ber of the AWVC and a vet-eran of the Korean War.

“So every year the Paradehas a Chief Marshal, andwe’re introducing BarbaraSignor, and it’s the first timea woman has been a ChiefMarshal since 1993 I be-lieve, and she’s just some-body with a lifetime of ser-vice and volunteering,” hesaid. “I’m just really proudto be able to recognize her.”

Resident and AWVCmember Todd McCarthy saidreaching out to the commu-nity is very important, be-cause many may take forgranted that it occurs everyyear, and not realize the ef-fort and funds needed to putit on.

“We want to get more andmore people involved, i ttakes a lot of money to runthe parade,” he said. “We’vegot to get information out tolet people know it’s not theold parade, it’s a youngergeneration like Dave and wewant to get more and more

people involved, like theyoung vets and people in thecommunity. Money is tight,we understand that.”

South Boston Online Edi-tor Rick Winterson said he’sbeen to the parade moretimes than he can count, andhe believes it’s a parade forthe world, not just for SouthBoston.

“The parade a t t ractsabout half a million peoplea year or much north of that,and South Boston has apopulat ion now between35,000 and 40,000, so theparade is really for the worldand everybody, because evenif we all went to the parade,it still wouldn’t even be 10percent of the parade now,”he said. “Even if we had allour relatives it wouldn’t be10 percent.”

South Boston residentMatt Mothander said he feltthat the parade itself wasabout and has always beenabout the veterans, and hethought it right that folksshould support it and veter-ans during the Veterans DayWeekend.

“We came out tonight tosupport the Veterans and theSouth Boston Parade, wehave a very veteran commu-nity here,” he said. “It’s aveteran’s parade, for Evacu-ation Day, but most of usknow it as the St. Patrick’sDay Parade.”

David McMenamy, hisbrother Joe and his wifeAlyssa all came out to sup-port the event. David said hegrew up going to the paradeand it’s a bit different now,as he is generally working theevent as a Boston Police of-ficer.

“We enjoy it, we’re bothpolice officers in the city, sowe work it now, and you seemore of the parade defi-nitely,” David said.

Dozens of residents came out on Monday to support the Allied War Veterans Council, which runs the SouthBoston St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Arborway near done, bus lane plannedJefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

As the Arborway is nearingcompetition, the MBTA, theMassachusetts Department ofTransportation (MassDOT) andthe City of Boston announcedthis week that it is starting theprocess of considering a pos-sible dedicated bus lane onWashington Street inRoslindale, between RoslindaleSquare and the Forest HillsMBTA Station.

According to State Rep.Russell Holmes at a recentMount Hope Mount CanterburyNeighborhood Association onthe Roslindale/Hyde Park/Ja-maica Plain/Mattapan lines, theconstruction period for theCasey Arborway Project shouldbe completed in December.

“We’re almost done,” hesaid. “I know, I can see you folksshaking your heads and thingsof that nature, but I will tell youit was nowhere near as painfulas you thought it would be.”

One resident said they’vebeen avoiding the traffic conges-tion there like the plague, andHolmes responded that that hasbeen good.

“You avoiding it like theplague has helped us wonder-fully,” he said.

Residents in the local areawere concerned about theproject because it took away theCasey Arborway Bridge, whichmany said kept traffic low and

out of the side streets.“The traffic was about the

same at rush hour regardless ofwhether there was a bridge ornot,” Holmes said. “At rushhour, all the traffic would be fineon the bridge and then bunch upat the end of the bridge.”

According to MassDOT,construction will continue in andaround Forest Hills Station forconstruction of knee walls forthe northern head house eleva-tor, installation of components,and forming and pouring newconcrete elements associatedwith supporting the permanentalignment of the Arborway, in-stallation of drainage, utilities,traffic signal foundations andconduit of the Arborway’s newpermanent alignment immedi-ately to the south of New Wash-ington Street in the area previ-ously occupied by the Route 39bus.

For the Arborway west (to-wards the Arboretum) of SouthStreet, they will be working ongrading and paving of theArborway carriage road on itsnew alignment, and on Washing-ton Street west (towards the Ar-boretum) of Forest Hills Stationthey will be working on instal-lation of new traffic lighting.MassDOT stipulated that allwork schedules are subject tothe weather.

“We hope to get it done be-fore the first snowfall,” Holmessaid.

MassDOT spokesperson

Jacquelyn Goddard said in astatement on Monday that thecity has reached out to her orga-nization and the MBTA to getthe wheels moving and start acommunity process and publicoutreach in the spring.

The idea is not new, and resi-dents have been advocating forit for some time. Organizationssuch as WalkUP Roslindalehave pushed for it, and thoughit would eliminate some parkingon the street, residents havecomplained consistently thatmuch of that parking is used bycommuters to walk to ForestHills and take the Orange Lineinto town. Officials have also

conducted surveys and studiesthat back up this assumption.

The concept comes from thefact that the buses on the street,particularly the Route 39 Bus,get backed up on Washington.Many residents have pointed outin the past that the buses bunchup, sometimes three at a time,because of the traffic and con-gestion there and a dedicatedbus lane would help ease thatproblem.

The idea was also exploredin the May release of the GoBoston 2030 TransportationPlan:

“Using a reserved transitlane on Washington Street and

bus signal priority, all existingbus service between Roslindaleand Forest Hills would be ableto operate clear of traffic con-gestion, greatly increasing tran-sit speed, capacity, and reliabil-ity. The transit lane could be re-versible, and flexible curb regu-lations would preserve vehiclecapacity in the peak direction.With these bus service improve-ments, existing services couldserve more riders in Roslindaleand in points further south. Inthe long term, this route couldutilize abandoned rail tracks thatextend to Hyde Park, potentiallybringing rapid bus to even moreunderserved residents.”

The South Boston CityPoint Neighborhood Associa-tion (CPNA) met on Tuesday

night and talked with At-LargeCity Councilor MichaelFlaherty regarding the InterimOverlay Planning District(IPOD) and briefly discussedthe Gate of Heaven School.

The IPOD is due to expireon July 12, 2018. The IPODhalts most large development,regardless of the current Article68 Zoning Code, and requiresa public process. The restric-tions of the IPOD include erect-ing a building with a gross floorarea greater than 1,000 squarefeet, extending a building so asto increase the gross floor areaby more than 1,000 square feet,or are substantially rehabilitat-ing a building which results ina gross floor area more than1,000 square feet.

The former zoning code,Article 57, required that anydevelopment on a lot sized lessthan 5,000 square feet triggerzoning variances and requiredpublic input.

“There are some lots that are5,000 square feet, but down onthe lower end there’s not a lotof those lots,” Flaherty said. Sothat made it difficult to developin the neighborhood Article 68

eliminated this problem. How-ever, with the developmentboom of South Boston, resi-dents were soon seeing multiunit housing go up on postagestamp lots with little to no pub-lic process or input. Develop-ment became rampant. TheIPOD was enacted to slowdown development and allow abetter public process for mostlarge scale development. How-ever, Flaherty said it had someunintended consequences.

“What was not anticipatedwas if you strictly interpret theIPOD, if you wanted to makeimprovements to your home,anything over 1,000 square feetrequired a meeting,” he said.“We had a vehicle to stop stuff,but at the same time it scoopedup some other stuff.”

Now that the IPOD is dueto expire, residents of theCPNA are nervous that the Bos-ton Planning and DevelopmentAgency (BPDA) would just letit die with no reform aroundArticle 68. CPNA TreasurerJim Coveno said that the IPODitself was a stop-gap measure


Galeota continued from page 4Field, where the Indians baseball team plays, was informally short-ened to and called “the Jake.” Because the informal moniker canrefer to a bathroom (as well as to a generic fireman), ClevelandIndians broadcasters could never use “the Jake” when referringto the site of the next home game.

Back to the bridge: I’m not from Charlestown and know onlya handful of people who reside there. Nor have I ever attendedthe historic June 17 parade there. Charlestown is not the place itused to be, because of gentrification. With containerized cargonow in place, there are not many stevedores there working on thedocks, and even fewer of them actually residing in 02129.

Bostonians frequently take pride in the neighborhood in whichthey grew up. Those from Mission Hill, Savin Hill, and Brightonseem to take the most pride. And so it seems logical that somepeople from Charlestown might take umbrage at the reference tothe shortened form of “The Zakim Bridge.” Perhaps I’m wrong(again).

out and try to solve this issue,”Pregmon said.

Danielle D’Ambrosio saidthe paving work on Commer-cial Street for the new cycletracks has been completed. Shesaid the project, which is runby Connect Historic Boston, isalmost complete.

“They’re trying to completepainting all the lines on theroad, which has been a bigproblem and they’re trying toget all the cycle track lights up,but they said they should haveit all done by Thanksgiving,”she said.

D’Ambrosio said that if anyresident has any problems theycan contact the city by going toboston.gov/departments/trans-portation/connect-historic-boston or by calling the projectmanage, Kay Bernard Smith at617-635-3868.

Maria Lanza gave an updateon the Mayor’s Upcoming Trol-ley Tour and Tree lighting,which will come to the Pradoat 2 p.m. on Dec. 3. She alsosaid the city is currently con-ducting a survey for a newstate-of-the-art community cen-ter in the North End.

“The Public Facilities De-partment is now researchingways to have a new communitycenter and what that may looklike, whether it will replace thebuilding that we’re in or be in

NEWNC continued from page 1an alternative site,” she said. “Iencourage everyone to take it,and send it out to as manypeople you know as possiblebecause they want as muchfeedback as possible when itcomes to people who use thecommunity center and howthey would like to use a newcommunity center.”

Pregmon said that he, as ayouth basketball coach, particu-larly wants everyone’s input onthe new community center andis looking forward to expand-ing.

“We’ve really outgrown thisplace,” he said. “The fact thatthe city is getting some fundsto research this, it’s criticallyimportant to us giving thesekids somewhere to go afterschool that’s not on thestreets out here, especiallywith basketball being such animportant part of this com-munity this survey and yourfeedback is crucial, so pleasego to the website so we canmake sure our voices areheard.”

The survey can be foundat mycampus.sasaki.com/n o r t h e n d / i n d e x . h t m l .Pregmon also detailed the up-coming Basketball Bonanzasponsored by North EndAgainst Drugs and State Rep.Michlewitz to be held on Fri-day, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m.

Hyde Square continued from page 1guests who are all differentkinds of people; some of ourpartners, friends or donors, tocelebrate and raise money tosupport our work and to honortwo people in the commu-nity,” she said.

Civill said the celebrationportion of the event is her fa-vorite of the morning.

“We try to have a goodtime and the Wilmer Hale Or-ganization hosts us downtownat 60 State Street, which hasa beautiful view of FaneuilHall and the water and allthat,” she said. “The doorsopen at 7:30 a.m. and then at8 a.m. starts the program andwe’re really prompt. There isa speaking session, our execu-tive director speaks, the co-chairs of the event, board andalumni and then the honoreesgive their remarks.”

Civill said they are honor-ing former HSTF memberMelissa Aybar, who workedwith the group as a youngsterand then came back later tohelp with mentoring younghigh school students.

“She joined HSTF in 9thgrade and she spent four yearsin high school as a youth com-munity organizer,” she said.“She worked on a number oforganizing campaigns wewere doing, and I think one ofthe big ones was a campaignto get civics education backinto the Boston PublicSchools. She went on to

Amherst College and nowshe’s back in Boston as ateacher at the EpiphanySchool and she volunteerswith us.”

Aybar now volunteers inhelping students with theircollege application processprogram, which goes througha student’s entire application,word by word, to make surethey have the best possiblechance to be accepted.

The other honoree will beState Rep. and House Waysand Means Chair JeffreySanchez, who has been a vo-cal supporter of the HSTF foryears.

“The thinking of the youngpeople we work with is thatthey can sort of relate to himand his story growing up inMission Hill and making hisway into politics and workinghis way into a position ofgreat leadership in Massachu-setts State Government now,”she said. “His ongoing sup-port of a lot of the issues thatare close to us our youth andcommunity over the years hasimpacted our youth substan-tially. He has strong connec-tions to us and our neighbor-hood and the youth that we

work.”Civill said they will also be

hosting several youth from therecent TD Garden Campaign,in which several HSTF mem-bers found that the TD Gar-den originally agreed to raisemoney for local communitycenters in 1993 when it signedits agreement with the city torenovate from the old BostonGarden. The teens found thatthe fundraising activitiespromised by the TD Gardenwere not being conducted andestimated that more than$13.8 million was owed to thecity. She said Lorrie Pearsonwill speak to the issue andhow it affected the youththere.

“She’s going to do sort ofa story slam and she’s goingto talk about some of her workon the recent youth organiz-ing campaign the TD Gardencampaign for the recreationcenter, so she’s going to talkabout her experience in thatcampaign and additionallywe’re going to have some ofour youth dancers perform,”she said.

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.

2018 Mitsubishi MirageMitsubishi is a brand that a lot of car buyers do not think of. Why? Mostly because the

dealer network is limited and they do not do a lot of television advertising. Also, like a lot ofcar manufacturers, they have had some bad years.

This week I am driving a small, compact car called the Mirage GT 4-door sedan. The car issmall and light, but seats five in a pinch. Power comes from a 3 – that’s right – a 3-cylinder,1.2 liter, 78 horsepower engine via a CVT automatic; a 5-speed manual is also available. The3-cylinder engine moves the car at all speeds, even on the highway. The seats are firm andsupportive and the car has a smooth ride for its size. Gas mileage ranges from a low of 33 cityto a high of 43 highway, depending on the conditions. My average was just under 40 MPGcombined (mostly highway). The car was nicely equipped with push-to-start, a/c, steeringwheel controls, touchscreen display, HID headlights, in-glass mirror turn signals, and even aremote start. The drive on Route 24 in mixed driving on smooth and broken pavement wasgood for an economy car. The base 5-speed manual starts out at only $13,395 plus $865 fordestination. Our GT as tested starts at $16,995. Not bad for a new car that has a 10-year/100,000 mile power train warranty, and a basic warranty of 5 years/50,000 miles.

This is not an entry-level car like those of years gone by. This can be the answer to aperson that needs an affordable commuter car, or a second car in the family.

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.

to be done.“The War on Terror contin-

ues,” he said. “As we sit heretoday at this ceremony, there areservice members on watch inevery corner of the globe, theyare ready to lay down their livesfor the cause of democracy andthe greater good.”

Rush said the civilian sup-port residents of West Roxburyand the country provide is ab-solutely essential. He said themilitary wouldn’t be what it istoday without them.

“The reality is that the vet-erans and servicepersons onduty cannot do their job with-out each and every one of you,”he said. “The civilian support ofour veterans is in fact a stabiliz-ing force that gives our servicemembers the courage, thestrength and the resilience to getthe job done each and everyday.”

Rush added that those heworks with are among the bestto put on the uniform.

“The sailors that I work with,along with the soldiers, marines,airmen and the members of theCoast Guard, are the finestwomen and men in the traditionof the service; members whohave ever served our great na-tion,” he said. “We are inspiredby those who have taken theoath, worn the uniform made thesacrifices before us, and we willuphold their commitment to thefinest principals of the UnitedStates.”

Master Sgt. DanielMcMorrow said he came backto West Roxbury in 2009 fromOperation Iraqi Freedom andretired from the Marine Corpssix years ago. He said he washonored to be among the veter-ans at the German Centre.

“I really have to tell you thatgrowing up here and walkingaround the woods back here,around the quarry and gettingchased out of Billings Field, we

grew up in this part of the cityand we followed the exampleof what it meant to be to be apatriotic and prideful citizen,and it laid the building blocksfor some of us who went to jointhe military,” he said.

McMorrow said the supportof the civilians in Boston andaround the country is greatlyappreciated. He said it wasgood to see what they werefighting for.

“We are also thankful forthe families that are home, whoare keeping the fires burning,keeping the kids in school andeverything else,” he said. “I’mjust proud to come from thisarea and know that we are apatriotic people and it’s not loston us, it’s up to us instill it inthe next generations.”

Deputy Commissioner atCity of Boston Veterans’ Ser-vices and former U.S. MarineRobert Santiago said that allwho serve now do so for thelove of their country, and it is agreat thing to see that love re-turned.

“Many of us here todayhave born the burden and ex-perienced the fatigue of wag-ing war in order to bring peace.To you, I say thank you, andthank you for setting the ex-ample that inspired me andmany of my peers to raise ourhands in voluntary service toour great country,” he said.“The services joins us togetherlike no other bond; the com-radely and fellowship weshared in military service helpsto define us and ultimately pro-foundly changes our characterand redirects our path in life.”

State Rep. EdwardCoppinger said West Roxburyhas a long tradition of honor-ing and valuing its veteranpopulation.

“Veterans Day and thisevent is one of the best days Ihave as a state representative,

our community has a strong tra-dition in honoring veterans fortheir service,” he said. “I re-member as a kid seeing politi-cal signs for those running foroffice, and splattered across thetop of the sign in big gold let-ters, it read ‘veteran.’ And thatword mattered in local electionsin West Roxbury, because wevalued our veterans.”

Coppinger said his fatherand his five uncles all servedin the military, and he said itwas through them he learned ofthe importance of service.

“My father taught me tolove our country, honor our flagand be thankful,” he said.

West Roxbury VFW Post2902 Commander, Lord Mayorof West Roxbury and veteranhimself Richard Gormley saidthe German Centre alwaystakes care of veterans, and hewas thankful for that during hisstay there.

“I’m a former patient hereat the Deutches Altenheim,” hesaid. “Four years ago I beat thesystem, I was only here for twomonths and I got out of here.What happened was I had anoperation down at the VA hos-pital on the VFW Parkway andthey put four rods up my backand I couldn’t walk, so they sentme to rehab, and I didn’t wantto go Brockton and I didn’twant to go to New Bedford, soI chose this place here. Theytook very good care of me fouryears, but two months wasenough for me.”

District 6 City CouncilorMatt O’Malley said the com-munity can always do more torecognize service.

“To those who served andput a uniform on, we pause to-day and we should pause everyday, and I am so incredibly grate-ful and honored to represent somany of you, to remember youand honor you for your great ser-vice so thank you,” he said.

“We’re trying to force theBPDA and the city to do thatevaluation and hear what theresidents have to say about it,”he said.

CPNA President JoanneMcDevitt and Flaherty both saidmeetings on the IPOD would beforthcoming. McDevitt andCoveno said that they would beputting together their own zon-ing-dedicated meeting some-time in the future to hash outconcerns of the neighborhood.

For the CPNA, the threemagic words are height, densityand parking, which Flaherty andthe CPNA agree would need tobe hashed out between theneighborhood first, and thenwith the BPDA.

In other news, Flaherty said

the Gate of Heaven Dioceses isexploring more options for theschool building. Recently, thedioceses tried to sell the schoolto a developer who wanted tobuild apartments or condos, butthe neighborhood rebelled andthe developer lost interest. Resi-dents and the dioceses are bothworried that if the school is lost,the church could be lost too.

Flaherty said the Dioceses isnow considering tearing downthe school building to create aparking lot for the church to beused for weddings and funerals,as well as lease out spaces toSouth Boston residents to useduring night time hours, to re-coup costs and make the churchitself more viable.

Flaherty stressed the churchis just considering this move,and they are just trying to maketheir profit estimates viable.

Michael Flaherty discussed the IPOD with the CPNA, both its advan-tages and disadvantages.



trying to get out and into the restof your life,” he said. “And astime passes you think wow,there was a time when I wasnervous to transition and moveon, but you also start to reallyappreciate those little interac-tions and events in service thatyou didn’t notice before. Imean, for me as a marine, therelationships you had with allthe different marines, that’s thestuff you miss, and you comeback here and you hear storiesfrom different generations andyou’re like, right, these are thestories we all remember. Thosepranks we pulled on each other,the trash talk, all this resurfacesand it’s great to see that acrossall veteran generations.”

Wu added it was tough forhim to figure out exactly whathis service meant to him and toput it into words he felt wereappropriate, but after hearingstories spanning the 20th cen-tury and beyond, he said if theycould bring it all together, socould he.

“For me, it was really a forc-ing function for me to thinkingabout what it was like backthen, and I think when you sitdown and think ‘Well, I wantto say something and not soundlike an idiot,’” he said. “Youknow because for most ma-rines, the collection of words

into sentences is hard right?We’re just better with pictures,but sitting down and thinkinglike I really want to figure outhow to really communicatesomething about my serviceand figure out what it meant tome. I mean I really had to sitthere and think, ‘Wow, what didit, mean to me?’ Especially astime passes.”

Army Veteran Sean Organsaid he was particularly grate-ful to hear from WWII veter-ans.

“It was great, as a Post 9/11vet, just to hear all that historyand just to be in this roomalone, I mean we heard fromWWII vets, and it was so longago, but it was so important tohear that information becausethey’re not going to be aroundfor very much longer and theirstories are just priceless,” hesaid. “It makes me feel moreconnected with them as a vet-eran, they’re kind of like fam-ily.”

Lt. Charles Fazio of the An-cient and Honorable ArtilleryCompany of Massachusetts,which helped to put the eventtogether, shared his story of hisinvolvement in the U.S.S.Pueblo incident. Basically, in1968, an information-gatheringship, the Pueblo, was capturedby North Korea. He said his

experience and what he wasexpecting were two very differ-ent things.

“When I saw they were go-ing to handle the situation, inother words, most of us weretold that we were frozen inplace, we weren’t going any-where until they solved thisproblem,” he said. “Well, ac-cording to the WWII movies Ihad seen, solving the problemwas John Wayne coming inwith a carrier strike force andgoing to Wonsan Harbor and hewas going to recapture thatship. It didn’t happen that way,it was months of negotiation.”

It was 11 months before thecrew of the Pueblo was releasedby the North Korean govern-ment. Fazio went on to talkabout the Ancient Artillery, andsaid the organization has deeproots in Boston.

“This has been our armoryand headquarters since 1746,this floor didn’t even exist un-til 1800,” he said. “It was anopen drill hall for about nine or10 militia companies at anygiven time. All those men aregone now, but we’re the lastones standing. If you lookaround the ceilings, you’ll seethe seal of the Ancient and Hon-orable Artillery and the seal ofMassachusetts. It’s ours, for-ever.”

Former Marine and Com-missioner of Veteran ServicesGiselle Sterling said it was thestories she heard from her fam-ily that inspired her to service.

I knew I wanted to be a ma-rine when I was 14 years old,and it was listening to thosebattles that really instilled thatwanting to serve, so I thank youfor that, because that historyyou shared, that was the reasonwhy I joined the service,” shesaid.

Sterling said listening to vet-erans is the best thing any ci-vilian can do to help themthrough tough times.

“I think, the biggest andmost important thing our com-munity can do to support ourwarriors is to listen to their sto-ries without judgment,” shesaid. “They shouldn’t be theonly ones who have to carrythat experience with them, theirstories are part of our history,and that history belongs to allof us.”

Sterling herself served as aField Radio Operator with de-ployments to Kandahar, Af-ghanistan; the Philippines;Guam; Diego Garcia andOkinawa, Japan. Giselle washonorably discharged in 2004and was awarded the Good Con-duct Medal, Global War on Ter-rorism Expeditionary Medal,Global War on Terrorism ServiceMedal, and the National Defense

Veterans Day continued from page 1Service Medal.

Resident Andrew Bell saidconnecting to veterans as a civil-ian was important to him, and hewas glad he made the trip out toFaneuil Hall.

“It was really good being ableto hear the stories across the gen-erations and the commonalitiesthey all have, the shared experi-ence of all veterans and how thatkind of transcends time, too,” hesaid. “There was a WWII veteranand an Iraq veteran, there’s onlya small gap between them, theycan basically relate to each othereven though they’re half a cen-tury apart. Basically anytime youcan hear a veteran’s story and re-ally listen to them, you get to hearwhat they really felt and what theywant to communicate; it’s not al-ways combat, most of the time it’smore personal things and it’s re-ally valuable to hear that perspec-tive.”

Brittney Tobey said the eventand events like it are great build-ing blocks for the civilian sup-port systems that need to be inplace to help those who serve.

“To really understand and justlisten, I think that serves as anincredible support system andstarts to allow the relationship togrow for healing to begin be-cause I think so many veteransthink that non-veterans don’t un-derstand. But I think we can startbuilding with events like this,”she said.
