Walsh promises to bring back Long Island Bridge

Former Vice President Joe Biden presided over the inauguration of Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and theBoston City Council.



The City of Boston formallyswore in Boston Mayor MartyWalsh and the Boston CityCouncil Monday morning at theCutler Majestic Theater inDowntown.

The ceremony itself was alarge gathering of more than300 residents, public officials,media persons, singers, publicsafety officials and two bagpipepolice officers. The morningwas filled with music from Bos-ton Police Officer Kim Traversand a musical interlude fromthe Morning Star BaptistChurch Sanctuary Chorale,which woke and warmed upmany in the frigid crowd.

Walsh himself said he ishappy with what he has beenable to accomplish in the lastfour years, but he wants to domore for the city.

“We know there is muchmore work to be done,” he said.“In 12 short years, Boston willturn 400. Whatever I’m doingin 2030, I want us to know thatwe did everything we could tomake Boston better and makeBoston stronger. That’s why weworked together on so muchplanning in the last four years,and why we called it ImagineBoston 2030. We want to fin-ish Boston’s fourth centurystronger and more united thanever.”

Walsh said that he wants tostart working more to endchronic homelessness for allhomeless residents. He said notonly will he work with a$250,000 loan from Bank of

America to start raising fundsfor the Boston Way Home Fund– which is aimed at creating200 permanent supportivehousing units for chronicallyhomeless people – but he willalso try to bring back one of thecity’s mainstays for treatmentand shelter.

“I want to make one thingclear: the opioid crisis andhomelessness are not the same.They each require a unique,comprehensive response,” hesaid. “That’s why we created anOffice of Recovery Services toexpand access to treatment.Recovery requires a continuumof care - from detox, to residen-tial treatment, to transitionalhousing - to reclaim your life.For many people, includingmyself, Long Island played avital role in Boston’s recovery

landscape. And it will again.Today I pledge to you that wewill rebuild the bridge. And wewill create, on Long Island, thecomprehensive, long-term re-covery campus that our city andstate need more than ever, totackle the opioid crisis.”

Walsh also said he wants toexpand the middle class in thecity. He said that nationwide,fewer than half the workersborn in the 1980s are earningas much as their parents did,and said this is completelywrong. He said that robs manyof the upward mobility thatformer Vice President JoeBiden was talking about earlierin the inauguration.

“We can be the city that isworld class because it works forthe middle class,” he said.“That’s what made the idea of

Boston a reality for most of us.As many of you know my par-ents came here as immigrants,with next to nothing. My fathergot work helping to buildBoston’s growing skyline. Heand my mother were able to

make a home, and raise theirkids to dream even biggerdreams. That’s the kind ofprogress a strong middle classprovides: not just security forthose who are already comfort-able, but opportunity for allwho need it.”

Biden spoke regardingMayor Walsh, as he was offi-cially presiding over the cer-emony, to which he said, “Iguess technically I’m presiding,I don’t know exactly what I’mdoing, but I’m presiding overthe events today,” which got agood response from the crowd.

Biden’s main theme in hisspeech during the ceremonywas about creating the middleclass as well. Biden said gettingupward mobility is one of themost important things a politi-

cian can do in any setting.“You also have the benefit

of tackling this with a mayorwho knows the great challengeof our time is to create onceagain a growing, thrivingmiddle class,” he said. “Some-times we hear the phony debateabout how we have to choosebetween being a progressiveleader or someone who fightsfor working people. Leaderslike Marty Walsh and many inthis room know that is totalnonsense, you don’t have tochoose between your heart andyour soul, they’re together. Letme tell you, there’s nothingmore progressive than givingworking people a shot.”

Biden said Walsh’s backstory shows what can happenwhen a city supports its resi-dents with opportunities togrow and strive.

“This is a man, this is amayor who will never, ever for-get where he came from or whyhe sought this job in the firstplace,” he said. “He believes inevery single man, woman and

child, deserves to be treatedwith dignity, that’s the basicfundamental principle. In myview, it’s one of the foundingprinciples, regardless of yourstation in life.”

Biden said there are manyin the city who need a leg upand need to know that the citywants them to persevere. Hesaid many in the city are ask-ing themselves if they can gettheir lives to where they needto be.

“‘Can I beat my problems?Can I get my life back on track?Will anyone believe in me?Will anyone give me a secondchance?’” he said. “Think of allthe people you know who arewrestling with that today. Theanswer is yes, and in this city,it starts with the mayor.”

Not OFD but a real Dot guy

My Kindof Town/Joe Galeota

The late Rev. Vincent VonEuw was not originally fromDorchester - he grew up withseveral brothers and two sisterson Courtney Road in WestRoxbury - but he did a superbamount of good in the 02121,02122, 02124, and 02125 zipcodes.

Born as a twin on ChristmasDay in 1936, he passed awayon Christmas Eve of this year.He was preceded into St. John’sSeminary by his older brother,Charlie, who after ordinationaccompanied Cardinal Cushingto Vatican II. There, as one ofthe “periti,” (learned ones) headvised the Boston prelateabout the Catholic Church’snew approach to sacramentsand liturgy. After returning tothe states, Charlie died of aheart attack.

Unlike his older priestlybrother, Vincent did not die be-fore his time. He spent 10 yearsin Peru as part of the St. JamesSociety, an outreach programlaunched by Cushing to sendBoston religious to SouthAmerica. It was there he mas-tered Spanish and received in-sights on what it really meansto be poor and do without.

Vinnie’s dedication to Peru-vians probably inspired hisyounger brother David, older inage than the usual Peace Corpsvolunteers, to join PresidentKennedy’s new group servingthat South American country.

Upon his return to Boston,Fr. Vincent was assigned to St.Peter’s in Dorchester. Once thehome of the largest Catholicschool in the Archdiocese, St.Peter’s had experienced a hugedemographic change. Thetriple-deckers, once teemingwith Irish immigrants, werenow filled with Spanish-speak-ing parishioners. Regrettably,crime was becoming rampant,even on the steps of the churchitself.

In the meantime, the Arch-diocese was trying to ministerto and satisfy the spiritual needsof Vietnamese immigrants, whowere migrating into the area: itidentified Father Vinnie as itspoint man and stationed him atSt. Ambrose.

There were very few, if only

one, priests who could succeedhim at St. Peter’s, and that isFr. Doc Conway, who still pre-sides there to this day.

In 1991, Vinnie was madepastor of St. Ambrose, an abut-ting Dorchester parish, wherehe tended to the needs of Viet-namese, Dominicans, blacks,and whites living in the FieldsCorner area.

For the next 16 years Vinnietended to his truly multiculturalflock, while also filling thearchdiocesan needs to presideas a Mass celebrant on a Catho-lic television channel.

Then suddenly Vinnie’s andSt. Ambrose’s world camecrashing down: he suffered amassive stroke, incapacitatinghim mentally and physically.Vinnie’s loving God certainlydoes work in strange ways.

From 2007 until last monthVinnie resided peacefully inMarian Manor, fittingly onDorchester Street in South Bos-ton. It was there that he re-ceived the tender and profes-sional care that extended hislife for so many years.

Amidst bone-chilling coldon both days, the turnout at hiswake and funeral, both held athis beloved St. Ambrose, was atestimony to his leadership andinspiration of Dominicans,Blacks, Vietnamese, Irish, andothers living as part of Boston’squilted Dorchester population.

GAG ORDINANCESTEP TOO FAR

To the Editor:Mr. Alan Wright, once again,

took an “ad hominem” swipe atme in his recent letter “Bag Or-dinance will Add Great Value.”He referred to my opposition tothe plastic bag ordinance as a“perennial paranoid conspirato-rial thing.” If Mr. Wright wantsto find paranoid conspiratorialthings, I suggest he tune intoCNN or MSNBC where he canlearn all about the Trump andPutin conspiracy theory orHillary Clinton’s vast Right-Wing conspiracy theory.

Agenda 21 is not a con-spiracy theory. It was a plan un-veiled at the United Nations’Earth Summit in 1992. One caneasily find a copy of it online.George H.W. Bush, the man

who called for a “new worldorder,” and a “U.N, as envi-sioned by its founders,” signedthe document at the summit heldin Rio de Janeiro. Bill Clintonpicked up where Bush left off,and established the President’sCouncil on Sustainable Devel-opment which produced thebook “Towards a SustainableAmerica.” One of the entities setup to implement Agenda 21 atthe local level, is the Interna-tional Council for Local Envi-ronmental Initiatives-ICLEI. Avisit to ICLEI’s web site is likea visit to the mind of Al Gore.

I suggest that the plastic bagordinance is just one of the manypolicies promoted by ICLEI,and ICLEI inspired local NGOsto reduce our city’s “carbonfootprint” that, as the support-ers of the ordinance believe,will keep the poles from melt-

ing, and making Roslindalebeachfront property. What’snext on the agenda? Maybe aban on those evil plastic waterbottles that are conspiring withthe Koch Brothers to destroy ourfair city? We can’t even keep ourstreets clean, but with the helpof our wise and noble city coun-cil, and the Alan Wrights of theworld, we will reduce our CO2use by 90 percent in 10 years.

I do have one thing in com-mon with, Mr. Wright: I pick uplitter during my walks.

There is always a degree of pomp and circumstance whenthe city of Boston swears in a new or returning mayor. Thereis a reason, after all, for why it always falls on New YearsDay.

This year, the political symbolism extends beyond Walshhimself. Officiating the inauguration was none other thatformer Vice President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, over inFramingham, newly incorporated as a city, progressive fire-brand Elizabeth Warren swore in first-time Mayor YvonneM. Spicer.

The holiday and skeleton crews are likely to blame forthe drought of beltway pundits weighing in on these localceremonies. They are, however, highly illustrative of whatmay be still-forming Democratic strategy. Bring Biden – aself-styled working class hero – in for the constituent ser-vice demanding people of Boston. These, in large part, arethe old school stalwarts of the party. Meanwhile, with a cal-culation that can hardly be blind to racial maneuvering –the in-your-face, self-styled champion of oppressed folks –Warren brings a message of hope to that city’s impover-ished, largely immigrant folks, desperate for a boost upwards.

We see the two engagements as clearly intended to shoreup a diverse political party ahead of midterms and beyond.

As for Walsh, his second inauguration speech coveredsome familiar territory.

“To the people of Boston: the women and men, chil-dren and seniors; the workers in every industry; the smallbusiness owners in every neighborhood; the artists andthe activists; the clergy and the social workers; the teach-ers and the students; and the veterans who protect us andmake us proud: I wish each of you and your families ahappy, healthy New Year,” he said, after a tip of the hatto first responders.

“Since 1630, Boston has been a refuge: from religiouspersecution, from hunger and war and discrimination, andnow, also, from climate change,” Walsh added, injectinga dose of politics as an aperitif for more local boasts. “Inthe last four years, we have dedicated ourselves, together,to Boston’s progress. In the city where free public educa-tion began, we expanded its reach from pre-kindergarten tocommunity college. We tackled a housing shortage by build-ing record numbers of new homes and new affordable homes.

“We showed a way forward in police-community rela-tions—major crime has fallen by 19 percent, and arrests aredown 23 percent. We proved that Boston’s values createvalue: adding 80,000 new jobs, lifting small businesses inevery neighborhood, and becoming a headquarters city inthe global economy.”

“With the revenues from our growth, and by moderniz-ing city government, we upgraded the schools, parks, librar-ies, and community centers that our neighborhoods cherish.And at a time when the national conversation too often turnedmean, we recommitted, without reservation, to feeding thehungry, housing the homeless, confronting racism, and wel-coming the immigrant,” he added.

It was a great message to deliver for the city, the Mayor,and a calculated strike for the hopefuls of his political party.



To advertise, call the Bulletinat (617) 361-8400 ered after the passing of my

twin brother Andre,” she said.“His loss, as you can imagine,had a tremendous impact onme. I questioned why am I here,what is my purpose, how andwhy do two twins born andraised in the City of Bostonhave such different life out-comes? We both were born hereand educated in all Boston Pub-lic Schools. We both lost ourbiological mother at 8 monthsold, she died in a car accidentgoing to visit my father whilehe was incarcerated. We bothdidn’t meet our father until wewere 8 years old, because hewas in prison.”

Campbell said her father’sstory of incarceration was notuncommon, as he had livedthrough the decades leading upto the Civil Rights movement,and she said he fell victim tothe racist policies of hiring andadvancement of the time.

“He was considered a crimi-nal, but my father was ex-tremely intelligent,” she said.“He graduated Boston Tech in

1951 and was accepted toPrinceton University, but in-stead of attending he took a dif-ferent path, one he hoped as aneldest child of seven where hehoped to provide for his fam-ily. Instead, it led to long peri-ods of incarceration. My fathershared a frustration that manypeople of color in this city of-ten feel, that even if you workhard and do the right things,you’re still marginalized or rel-egated to low-wage jobs, orpoor housing stock in neighbor-hoods concentrated in povertyand with low-performingschools. In the 1930s, 1940s,1950s and 1960s in the City ofBoston, that frustration was ex-acerbated by the fact that youwere told specifically that thismarginalization and exclusionwas because of the color ofyour skin.”

Campbell said her story il-lustrates the need for more op-portunity in the city, and thatjust because you’re born in oneneighborhood doesn’t meanyou can’t get out and make it

in the world. She said her fa-ther was unable to do that, butthrough his example, she wasable to do better.

“Although he never made itto Princeton, I did, by takingadvantage of every opportunitythis city has to offer,” she said.“My story illustrates that achild’s life and potential is notpredetermined by the neighbor-hood and circumstances inwhich they grew up, but theopportunities they are affordedin this city.”

Boston Mayor Marty Walshpresided over the session, andsaid the city needs to do moreto expand those opportunitiesto its residents.

“We talk an awful lot aboutthe rich and we talk about thepoor, what we don’t talkenough about is how we pre-serve the middle class and howwe can push our poor people upinto the middle class, that’swhat we have to do and that’sour responsibility as electedofficials in the City of Boston.”

Frank Garibaldi signs off as ReadvilleNeighborhood Watch Leader

The Readville Neighbor-hood Watch gathered onThursday, Dec. 21 in the up-stairs function room of theBocce Club for its monthlymeeting.

The overriding item on theagenda was the fact that itwas Watch Leader FrankGaribaldi’s last meeting.

The community activistand 2017 National Night OutCrimefighter of the Year isreluctantly moving out of theneighborhood for, as he de-scribed them, personal rea-sons.

“I really hate leavingHyde Park. I enjoy it. I loveit, and I’m going to miss it.I’ve been living in Boston for45 years and in Hyde Park forsomewhere around 25 years,so I will miss it,” Garibaldisaid.

Garibaldi’s resignation onleaving was counterbalancedby the freedom provided byhis outgoing status.

“I’m a lame duck commu-nity leader so I’m going tosay what I want now becauseI’m going to be getting out ofhere,” Garibaldi said.

He was referring, in thatinstance, to what he wasabout to say to the group re-garding one of several pro-posed developments in vary-ing stages of progress. As hecontinued, he could just aseasily been speaking about

any of them.“The only way to stop a

lot of this – now, I know theusage of a neighborhoodwatch is to watch each oth-ers’ property – but, if youwant to stop this, you’ve gotto band together: a grassroots effort.”

He went into some hypo-thetical strategy regardingwhat is becoming – becauseof the development sites andthe already heavy traffic inthe area – the epicenter of po-tential problems.

“You’ve got to get someparts of Dedham involved be-cause Sprague Street’s goingto affect Dedham all the waydown. That’s the only wayyou’re going to stop some ofthis, because it just seems

like they’re pushing it fast,”Garibaldi said, referring spe-cifically to 36-70 Sprague St.“I’m not trying to tell youwhat to do, but it’s yourneighborhood. Watch it. Takecare of it.”

In a meeting whose topicof discussion centeredaround Garibaldi’s imminentdeparture and property devel-opments, a question wasraised regarding 36-70Sprague St. and ReadvilleYard 5 regarding the status ofthe outgoing Watch Leader’splace on both Impact Advi-sory Groups (IAG) now thathe would no longer be aReadville resident.

The Allston Brighton Soc-cer Association (ABSA) pro-gram is looking to raise fundsfor its girls program, but indoing so is also looking tohelp start the national conver-sation regarding the U.S.Soccer Federation’s pay-to-play model.

ABSA Organizer OsminAlberto Montero said it is in-credibly tough for youth inBoston to start playing soc-cer competitively.

“In Allston-Brighton, forabout 25 years the local po-lice District D-14 had a pro-gram, Police Athletic LeagueSoccer. It’s actually the old-est in the city,” he said. “Atthe time, the community ser-vice officer decided to saythere’s a huge following ofyounger kids specificallywho are soccer players andthere is a need for this, andin Allston-Brighton’s socio-economic demographics theoverwhelming majority livebelow the $35,000 a yearthreshold, so our main issueat the time was making pay-to-play competition afford-able, accessible and inclusiveto every child who was will-ing to commit 10.5 months ofthe year.”

Montero said the Federa-

tion has taken some heat inthe past for its pay-to-playmodel, and they’re hoping itcould change soon.

“In soccer, the federationforces a parent for one childto pony up $4,500 a year forone pupil. If they have morechildren there are some“breaks,” but if you ask afamily under the $35,000threshold, it’s unaffordable.But everywhere else in theworld a child is not charged,everywhere else in theworld.. . Spain, Germany,Brazil, a child, the municipal-ity and the national federa-tion join together and theyprovide the funding for thesechildren to have a commu-nity-based club and havethese opportunities for pro-gramming.”

Montero added, though,there is now some movementat least into looking at freesoccer models in the U.S.However, he said he’s notholding his breath.

“They said they like theconcept of free-of-cost soc-cer, but the people of the fed-eration have been quote un-quote studying free soccer,”he said.

Montero said that thisyear’s exclusion of the U.S.men’s soccer team from theWorld Cup highlighted ahuge problem in the pay-to-

play model the U.S. SoccerFederation uses. He said thatIceland, a country of about330,000 residents - about oneone thousandth of the U.S.population - can field aWorld Cup team, and the U.S.can’t. He said ABSA is try-ing to get that conversationout more into the main-stream.

“Allston-Brighton Socceressentially started the con-versation to end the pay-to-play system,” he said. “Itpains me to say this, but it’seasier for someone to pitch afree cost soccer for boys thanit is for inner city girls andthat’s one of the struggles wehave in finding a programpartner for these girls.”

Montero said the girlsprogram has been picking upsteam, however. They cur-rently have many scholar ath-letes, the average GPA of thegirls in the program is 3.3.

“It’s possible becausethey’re allowed to play forfree, they make the time theymake the commitment,” hesaid. “I’ve grown from 40kids to 110 in the span ofeight months, so we have tomitigate our growth, butwe’re asking whether it be in-dividual community mem-bers, a private donor or a cor-poration to say look, whydon’t you be a part of this

bold enterprise, it is the fu-ture and we’re forcing theconversation by doing so.”

Montero said they need asmuch support from the com-munity as possible, andthey’ve gotten some steppingstones form the boys pro-gram, but the girls still needmore help.

“We’ve had donors com-ing , I mean the LyndonBusiness Center has basi-cally been the seed and cata-lyst for the boys program,which has made it to the State

The ABSA needs help to provide free soccer programs for hundreds ofyoung Boston girls.

Cup, so there’s tangible re-sults, this isn’t just some piein the sky programming is-sue,” he said.

The ABSA has fielded thegirls team for three years nowwith the help of the BPD, andhas two sides competing forthe winter season. They need$6,500 for 11 months of pro-gramming to provide for freeto the teams.

MHMC talks parks and collisionsJefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

At a recent Mount HopeMount Canterbury Associa-tion (MHMC) meeting, resi-dents heard several updatesto ongoing issues in theneighborhood of EastRoslindale.

MHMC member RickYoder said the group recentlyreceived information for carcrashes on the stretch ofAmerican Legion from theCummins Fiveway Intersec-tion to the Walk Hill intersec-tion.

“Over that six month pe-riod, there were 60 carcrashes, which is one everythree days,” he said. “Whichis an improvement, it used tobe one every two days.”

Yoder said, however, thesituation is still very bad interms of traffic collisions.

“So it’s just if anyone asksthings look alright there, butit’s still a little under one carcrash every two days over thelast year which, is really out-rageous,” he said. “Ten ofthem are up at the Fiveway,

so you can see how that canhappen and another bunchwere up at Wendy’s at that in-tersection of American Le-gion and Walk Hill. Therewere eight injuries from col-lisions, but we don’t have allthe specifics. There weresome where a car hit some-one or something like thateven though it never makesit to the news on the TV, it’shappening and it affects us.”

Traffic has been a prob-lem in the neighborhood fordecades, which is why theMHMC applied for and wonthe new Slow Streets pro-gram grants, which will in-stall new traffic calming mea-sures in the surroundingneighborhood. The new mea-sures, which includes nar-rowing streets, raising cross-walks and implementingspeed humps, are designed tostop cut through traffic fromspeeding through the sur-rounding neighborhoodsalong the American LegionHighway.

The Fiveway is a histori-cally bad intersection, with itbeing named on the 2015 Cityof Boston list of most danger-ous intersections and re-ceived additional police su-pervision for that year be-cause of the designation. Thecity has since not funded thatprogram.

Yoder also said that at thecorner of Mount Hope Street

and Hyde Park Avenue, thecity’s plan to develop aparklet has been fully imple-mented.

A gas main on Hyde ParkAvenue near the Pagel Play-ground on the Roslindale Ja-maica Plain border burned brightinto the New Year starting onSunday night and going intoTuesday afternoon.

According to the Boston FireDepartment (BFD), they re-sponded to a call at 6:10 p.m. onSunday to 340 Hyde Park Ave.for a 10-inch in diameter pipe gasmain fire. The BFD reported thatNational Grid was already on thescene working on the line andthree workers were treated andtransported by the Boston Emer-gency Medical Services withburn injuries.

Because the line was a 10-inch distribution line, it con-nected to many houses in the re-gion and officials stated they didnot want to shut down the wholeline. Boston Firefighters stood bywhile the gas main burned for thefirst night of the fire, and checkedhomes’ meters in the area to makesure there was not a significantdrop in pressure that would ne-cessitate evacuations. The wholestreet was closed off during thenight.

The BFD eventually didevacuate three triple deckerhouses in the area as a precau-tion during the night. Sand wasused to try to smother the firewhile National Grid worked to

set up a temporary by-pass, butthe sand did not work.

National Grid employeesworked through the night to diga bypass trench, and the BostonFire Department worked withhuge amounts of sand to try tosmother the fire. Eventually, at2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the firewas smothered with buckets andbuckets of sand. The whole sec-tion of Hyde Park Avenue wascovered in sand, which could behelpful later this week after thesnow that has been predicted, asof the date of publication.

The plan was to run the tem-porary by-pass around the dam-aged pipe, tie it into the system,shut off the pipe and get gas toaffected homes. The temporaryby-pass would be removed afterthe 10-inch pipe was replaced.

Crews worked throughout thenight, all of Monday and intoTuesday to dig two holes to even-tually cut a trench through thearea. BFD rotated crews through-out the course of the fire to makesure no more injuries occurred.The reason for the main not justbeing shut off was the extremelylow temperatures for Sunday,Monday and Tuesday. Officialsdid not want to cause further in-juries or evacuations to residentsfrom exposure because theywould not have heat.

That section of Hyde ParkAvenue was closed during thefire, and as of publication is opento both lanes of traffic.

Classif iedssachusetts law to back up theirclaim that new development onthe waterfront can only occur ifthere are pilings (wharf supportstructures) already in place.

He also discussed the caseregarding the IntercontinentalHotel Lawns last year where theCLF challenged the hotel com-pany to keep those areas publicfor the Harborwalk. Shelley saidthe right of the public to the wa-terfront goes back a very longway, much longer that thecleanup of the harbor in the1960s and 1970s.

“It’s important, I think, to un-derstand where the private rightsintersect with the public rightsaround the waterfront,” he said.“We have spent on the order of$24 billion of public money toclean up the harbor.”

Shelley said that the con-struction of the Rose KennedyGreenway, connecting the Wa-terfront back to the rest of thecity and cleaning up the harborwere all part of that public ef-fort to reinvigorate the area.

“What has been happeningrecently is that a number of pri-vate developers, very smart,have recognized that this is apretty valuable piece of propertynow and have started to capturethis value that the public has cre-ated,” he said.

Shelley said one example ofthis was the company MorganStanley’s purchase of Seaportproperty, held it, successfully re-ceived permits for the propertyto be redeveloped and thenflipped it to another developer.

“They walked out of Bostonwith $300 million in profits,” hesaid. “That gives you somesense of what the private profitsare from this.”

Shelley said two legal doc-trines came into striking reliefwhen discussing developmenton the Waterfront and the NorthEnd. The first, he said, was rec-ognized by Emperor Justinian inthe Roman Empire, which statedthat the public had a natural rightto the shore front, the waterfrontand the fish.

“This is nothing new,” hesaid. “That has been almost acontinuous legal principle sincebefore the Justinian Code waspassed, and came down throughthe Magna Carta, it came to thecolonies by English settlers, and

the King used to own everythingin Boston that was below thehigh water mark (making it pub-lic land). For those of you whohaven’t looked at a colonial mapof Boston, the North End waspretty high. There are probablysome areas that were above thehigh water mark here, but mostof Boston, almost all the way tothe face of Beacon Hill was tide-lands and mudflats.”

Shelley said the colonistswanted to get maritime com-merce, they wanted people tobring ships in, but the ship build-ers and owners could get themin much beyond where Hull isnow before they ran into tidalflats.

“The King agreed to conveythe land between the high watermark and the low water mark tothe upland property owner in re-turn for that property owneragreeing to build wharfs andwarehouses and other kinds ofinfrastructure so that ships couldcome and maritime commercecould exist in Boston,” he said,adding that in that deal with theKing of Great Britain, thepublic’s right to access thoselands was preserved. “So thereis a permanent easement that’sattached to every piece of landin Boston and Massachusettsthat is below the once historichigh water mark that the publichas legally-recognized rights ofuse for, for fishing, fowling andyou have to imagine that as a fic-tion, no one navigates in thoseareas anymore with a boat, butyou can navigate by foot...That’s continued today, andthat’s called the tide lands doc-trine.”

Shelley also said that theprior public use doctrine thatstates that once a piece of prop-erty is in public ownership, itcan’t be conveyed into privatehands except to a public pur-pose.

“So the state is actually pro-hibited from actually unloadingall this land without all these re-strictions on to private partner-ship owners,” he said.

Shelley brought up the nowinfamous example of the LewisWharf, but said that a previouscase (before the more recent pro-posals for a large hotel) was thecase that the state SupremeCourt decided what was going

to happen with these tide lands.“They said listen, the found-

ing fathers couldn’t have envi-sioned this back in the 1800s, Imean condominiums, the con-cept hadn’t even been inventedyet,” he said. “They didn’t havethis in mind, the whole doctrinehad been based on fish houses,things that had to be on the wa-ter being on the water and theSJC told the legislature that theyneeded to come up with a newpublic purpose for the develop-ment of those lands if they arenot going to be used for mari-time commerce.”

Shelley said that this was thedecision that created Chapter 91,which dictates how said publicused of tidelands would be regu-lated, and required that any newdevelopment that would not bedependent on being close to thewater, such as condos or a ho-tel, would have to provide a newpublic use that would be morebeneficial to the communitythan the detriment the new struc-ture would cause (parking, traf-fic, view blocking, etc.)

Shelley said residents shouldbe careful about the ways thatprivate developers could dis-suade residents form using thepublic land around theHarborwalk. He said while theycannot keep you off, they canintimate in a subtle way that theycould kick you off.

“They’re really clever, Imean a lot of these private de-velopments along the waterfronthave pretty extensive publicbenefit requirements,” he said.“But developers and operatorsof these facilities are very cleverin masking them, so that you asa member of the public, wouldsay ‘I’m not really sure, would Ibe allowed to go on this lawnon Fan Pier? It looks very niceand there are security guardswalking along,’ so they mas-querade these public space sin away that is intended to createambiguity in people’s minds,because they know that if peopleare uncertain they’re not goingto go take their kids up to a lawnor park them down for a picnicif they’re going to get kicked off.It just doesn’t happen.”

Walsh added a f ina lthank you and cheered onresidents for coming outduring the frigid night.

“Have a g rea t n igh t ,happy New Year, God blessyou all, go Boston, go Pa-triots!” he said.

Kelly and her husband,Darrel Fess, said they weresurprised at the relativelylow turnout, but Darrel saidhe could see the true spirito f Bos ton in those whobraved the cold.

“We’re hardy New En-glanders,” Darrel said.

“It’s always cold in NewEngland, duh,” said KellyFess. “It was a bummer theycanceled stuff, I was disap-pointed.”

Kelly Fess did say, how-ever, they will be enjoyingthe start of the New Yearcelebrations in the NorthEnd from their roof deck inthe South End.

Res ident David Shawsaid he was up from theDeep South for the night asa tourist, and was pleasantlysurprised by the event.

“We’re up from Atlantaand we heard about thisfrom some cousins of ourssaying hey, you gotta gocheck this out,” he said.“It’s pretty good, I like theice sculptures, and I like toget outside. Though it is re-

ally cold, obviously. I likeit, I don’t know what the en-tertainment is going to belater on, but I’ll probably inbed anyway.

Krist ine Berg and herdaughter, Jacklynne, saidthey were in with their fam-ily and wanted to see whatBoston had to offer.

“We’re up f rom Con-necticut, and my husbandand my son are at the Bos-ton Celtics game and wedidn’t want to sit in and donothing all night,” she said.“We’re braving the cold,and it’s great so far. I’m sur-prised more people aren’tout here, it’s New Year ’sEve for crying out loud.”

Rakeesh Ganji said hisfriends helped him to comeout for the night, and thoughhe was expecting a goodtime he was not expectingsome of the more winter-friendly attractions.

“It’s our first time, andit’s been pretty good so far,”he said. “My friends said itwould be a good time outhere, and it is, but I didn’texpect the ice sculptures.They’re really, really good.”

Resident Pete Olivenciasaid he’s been to the showonce before in 2015 when itwas raining, and that thoughit is cold, it is better than be-ing stuck in the rain.

“We wanted to have

First Night continued from page 1fun,” he said. “I wasn’t herelast year, the year before wewere here it was horriblebecause of the rain. Thistime it’s just a lot colder,bu t I ’m not a bad luckcharm, let me assure you.”

Since the Slater Founda-t ion took over the eventthey’ve been able to buildon nearly half a century ofBoston tradition.

“First Night has a won-derful, rich tradition in Bos-ton with more than 40 yearsof exciting our city on NewYear’s Eve,” he said. “FirstNight was developed to bea family-friendly alterna-tive, and we think we’vestayed true to that value,even given the cold tem-peratures this evening. Overthe last two years, our rein-ven ted F i r s t Nigh t hasdazz led over 300 ,000people with our arts and cul-tural performances.”

Slater added that Walsh’sefforts for First Night andcommunity were amazingand he thanked him for hiswork.

“Mayor Walsh does somuch to ensure the successand vibrancy of so manyfamily and community-basedevents, such as First Night,and for that I would reallylike to thank him and I thinkwe would all like to thankthe Mayor for that,” he said.

that our elders are aging in com-munity, maintaining indepen-dence and keep strong theirbonds to the community. Thefirst grant will support the hir-ing of coordinators who will goout to meet our seniors and con-nect them with existing re-sources to support them in theirindependent living.”

Pressley said bringing thecommission to seniors is nec-essary, especially for specificsenior populations.

“This is critical for our se-niors who have limited mobil-ity or access to transportationbut would benefit from beingconnected to the Commissionand being aware of the servicesavailable,” she said.

The grant will also fund pro-grams that provide legal ser-vices to seniors, translation andinterpretation services, exerciseand recreation programs andhousing assistance. The grantswere mediated and reviewed byElderly Commission Executive

Director Emily Shea, who saidthey would also distribute thefunds throughout the city’sneighborhoods in an equitablemanner.

REMEMBERINGJOE TIMILTY

To the Editor:As someone who loved

politics and worked withmany of Boston’s elected of-ficials, I always thoughthighly of Joe Timilty and wassaddened to hear of his pass-ing (Hub political communitymourns Joseph Timilty, Bos-ton Herald, Dec. 24).

I remember when he ranand was elected to the BostonCity Council in 1967 and con-sidered him a new and freshface in Boston politics. In1969, when I was old enoughto vote, he was among the firstpoliticians I ever voted intooffice.

Back in 1969, he was only31 years old and outof Dorchester Lower Mills.He was both a voice and votefor the citizens of Boston. I re-member when he ran formayor two years later againstKevin H. White and LouiseDay Hicks and finished third.Following that loss, he ran forState Senate in a district thatincluded Mattapan, HydePark , Dorchester, and Cantonand Sharon. He served up onBeacon Hill until 1985.

He tried two more timesfor mayor, but failed bothtimes. Many, including my-self, have said that he was thebest mayoral candidate whonever got elected. During theCarter Administration, he was

the national voice for Urban‘American’s housing chal-lenges and continued repre-senting all Americans on theissue of housing.

His was a passion for pub-lic service. He did fall into alittle trouble about 25 yearsago, but worked his waythrough it and came out un-defeated. Timilty will be re-membered for his outspokendefense of ordinary workingfamilies struggling to surviveand prosper.

He was both a throwbackand old school when it cameto representing the Citizens ofBoston and was indeed in lovewith his City.
