Budding proposal for Hyde Park Ave.medical marijuana dispensary

The Hyde Park Neighbor-hood Association (HPNA)gathered on Thursdayevening, March 1 in the com-munity room of the DistrictE-18 Police Station, drawinga crowd of about 30 localresidents and presenters forthe monthly meeting.

The main item on theevening’s agenda had to dowith a proposed medicalmarijuana dispensary thatwould be located at 883 HydePark Ave., about a block fromAmerican Legion Highway.

Representatives of newlyfounded Evergreen Farmswent before the Associationto give some background onthe project, present the basicbusiness plan for the dispen-sary, and to answer questions.

Roslindale native KrisKrane, President of 4FrontVentures – a firm that workswith businesses to open highend retail medical cannabisfacilities – and advisor to theproject, did most of the talk-ing, though each member ofEvergreen Farms leadershipalso spoke of their back-ground with medical mari-juana.

Evergreen Farms is cur-rently in the process of apply-ing to the City for a letter ofnon-opposition, which is amandatory component of theapproval process overseen bythe Department of PublicHealth.

“The way that Boston has

laid out its zoning rules, therewill be a dispensary in basi-cally every neighborhood inthe city,” Krane said.

According to EvergreenFarms CEO Ben Smith, therecould be up to 41 dispensariesallowed throughout the city.

Focusing on the inevitabil-ity of a medical marijuana dis-pensary coming to the commu-nity in one way or another,Krane presented the localmake up of the EvergreenFarms ownership –most ofwhom are either residents ofRoslindale or the greater Bos-ton area – as a favorable sell-ing point of the project.

“We would certainly bemore accessible than any othercompany that could possiblycome here,” he said.

The industry, which isheavily regulated, requires alldispensary employees to gothrough a background check

with the Board of Health be-fore being hired. As Kraneexplained, Evergreen Farmswill also have its own sepa-rate comprehensive trainingprogram for all new employ-ees.

Krane also went into de-tail regarding how the pro-cess would work for a patientvisiting the dispensary.

Only patients with a validmedical marijuana identifica-tion card can access dispen-saries, which are open from10 a.m. - 7 p.m. seven days aweek.

At the dispensary en-trance area, security person-nel will check for the cardand then send the visitor into the reception area, wherestaff will run the card to makesure there are no problemswith it or with the patient’s

The cause for this event wastwofold. The first reason wasto fete Hyde Park resident (andHAAM member) Falid Milord,whose seven works of art had

been displayed in the computerroom on the Library’s mainfloor through February.

The second reason for thereception was in order to holda signing and sale of theHAAM’s new book MigratingColors: Haitian Art in New En-gland.

Transit Matters proposingelectrified Fairmount

Transit Matters, a transit ad-vocacy group, recently releaseda large report stating that theMBTA needs to start focusingon regional rapid rail transitrather than traditional com-muter rail.

The report, filed on thegroup’s web site attransitmatters.org/regional-rail,stated that specifically there isa long-term and a short-term so-lution for helping to easeBoston’s transit woes in termsof wait times and access. Bothof these items are focused onincreasing train frequency atstops in a big way.

The first is a long-term so-lution that proposes the MBTAat least look at making theNeedham Line rapid transitrather than commuter rail. Tran-sit Matters co-founder MarcEbuna said though he realizes

this would take a lot of work, itis something the MBTA shouldbe looking into and somethingthe Paris Reseau Express Re-gional already uses.

Ebuna said the MBTA couldextend the Orange Line throughthe Commuter Rail Stations andextend the Green Line toNeedham Heights. For theGreen Line, Newton, Needhamand the MBTA are alreadylooking into a rail right of wayon that route for Green LineService.

Ebuna said it would be ex-pensive for sure, but it defi-nitely would help increase ser-vice for riders commuting andit would take a lot more ve-hicles off of city streets. Thereare two problems facing thetransfer of the Commuter Railto rapid transit, the first ofwhich being platform heights.Areas where there are no high

Menino Arts Center (MAC)community liaison RosemarieClinton was told not to pursueher love of art when she was achild.

But as an adult, she was en-couraged by a longtime HydePark artist, the late Paul Nolan,to pursue her passion 18 yearsago. She soon won a prestigiousGraumbaker Award and had herart displayed at City Hall.

Now she inspires senior citi-zens to discover their hiddentalents. Twenty of them dis-played and discussed theirworks at a reception for theirexhibit, coordinated by Clintonand hosted by fellow Hyde Parkresident Larry Johnson at the li-brary on Saturday.

Entitled “Inclusive,” the dis-play of more than 50 pieces fea-

tures works from the MAC’sNolan Group and the MobileArts Program, as well as localprofessional artists. The art, in-cluding painting, drawings, ce-ramics and sculpture, will befeatured until April 20.

The two programs, eachregularly attended by coregroups of about 10 people, aretruly inclusive, explainedClinton. Tomas Davin serves asa translator, regularly speakingin Spanish and French.

And Joseph Rivera, a seniorartist with at least 10 paintingsand ceramic pieces on display,if deaf and mute. A member ofthe group at Blake Estates, hecommunicates through signlanguage, written words, vividhand gestures and an ever-present wide smile.

“Joseph is just amazing,”said Davin, a native of PuertoRico. “He is one of the best Ihave ever seen. He does all ofhis work from memory.”

Rivera, who reads lips toanswer questions, held hishands to his heart in pure joyas he motioned them outward,watching as people admired hiswork. He then held is hands tohis forehead, gently lettingthem flow outward to expresshis memories.

His color choices are manytimes as vivid as his expres-sions. One was a cheery paint-ing of sunflowers. A favorite ofviewers was an autumn paint-ing of a bare tree emblazonedwith an orange-red sky.

“He copied that one from awork I did,” said fellow seniorartist Geneva Kingswood.“He’s so good with trees. Lookat the detail on the branches. Ihad done one that he liked, so Itold him to do it.”

The two became fastfriends, she said, through theirmutual love of art and respectfor one another. She beganpainting in the Mobile Arts Pro-gram in 2014 at age 82.

Kingswood’s favorite piecein the exhibit was her sculptureof a man’s slanted head. His

gaze looks anguished.“I like that he has a lot of

problems,” she said of herpiece. “In the process of sculpt-ing him, he kind of wentslanted. I went with it.”

Luke Bruffee, a JamaicaPlain resident, instructs BlakeEstates residents in sculptureand ceramics. He has beenteaching with the program forfive years.

“It’s a labor of love,” hesaid. He uses clay and stone-ware and allows students topick designs from the Internet.

He said it can be challeng-ing because people speak dif-ferent languages. Also, HydePark does not have a kiln, so hehas to transport the works to firethem.

“I go to Stonybrook FineArts in JP to fire them,” he said.“Some works get broken in tran-sit.”

Nancy Mejies showed offher painting of a fisherman. Shesaid she hasn’t been doing itlong – “pero apriendo,” she said,which translates to “but I amlearning.”

She does it “pasar el tiempocon amor y para hacer la mentefuncianando,” or “to pass thetime with love and to keep themind functioning.”

Johnson instructs both pro-grams and first met Clinton in2009. He also teaches a draw-ing workshop on Saturdaymornings and is a long-time car-toon artist.

“We discuss how we are goingto do a piece,” he said. “The peoplehere are very enthusiastic.”

Paul Nolan Group memberBeatrice Baga is a life-long HydePark resident. She participates inthe program with her daughter-in-law, Susan.

“Just Onions” is one of her fa-vorite paintings. It shows the finedetails of onion skin and rich colorsin the background to allow them tostand out.

“Rosemarie makes you feel likeyou can do anything,” she said. “Shesays nothing you do is wrong.”

Hundreds celebrate HP Youth Basketball at All Star Night

Scores of players came out on Tuesday to play in the HPYB All Star night. PHOTO BY JEFF SULLIVAN

The Hyde Park Youth Basket-ball Association (HPYB) cel-ebrated its 35th year at Tuesday’sAll-Star Night to the delight ofhundreds of players, parents andcoaches.

Run by resident JamesMichel, the league has persistedas a community resource and agood way to get children someexercise. Michel said the nightwas for celebrating the associa-tion.

“This is our big night youknow?” he said. “It’s a time tocelebrate the gem that this pro-gram is to the community.”

And like most good execu-tives, he’s not just the director buta former client.

“So I started coaching whenmy son was six years old and nowhe’s 31, so it’s been 25 years forme,” he said. “I’ve always lovedsports, for me growing up it wasalways a source of confidence forme.

Michel said for the programitself, they want to emphasize thegame more than trying to win.

“What I really like is team-work and the feeling of being apart of a team and I think everyhuman being wants to be a part ofthe team, and that’s what we em-phasize: teamwork, sportsman-ship, having fun, trying your best,working hard and learning how todeal with a little bit of frustrationtoo,” he said.

The program itself is spon-sored by about 20 communitybusinesses and Michel said that

allows them to only have to chargeabout $50 to $60 for the whole14-week program.

“It allows us the uniforms, thetrophies, the gym time, the refs –they’re basically volunteers, wepay them pin money – and it’s agreat deal,” he said.

Resident Marti Melecio camewith her daughter to watch her twograndsons play during the night.She said her own son started inthe program too, and it’s alwaysbeen a family adventure.

“Remember, I’m the grandpar-ent!” she said laughing. “We’retalking a lot of years, Antonio, he’s32, so we’ve been doing the HydePark basketball for almost 30

years, but my grandson… this ishis third year in the program.”

Her grandson, Malik Free-man, said he really enjoyed theprogram both because of the at-mosphere of the games and thedirection of the coaches.

“A lot of people I know I knowjust through here,” he said. “It’sreally fun, I feel like the coaches,they do a lot about actually howto play the game instead of themjust trying to win. A lot of otherprograms, they just focus on be-ing competitive. I feel like herethey focus more on learning howto shoot, how to not travel and Ifeel like it’s really actually help-ful.”

Resident Daniel Evans said hecame out to see his son at the AllStar game.

“My son plays every year andhe’s been playing for the last fourto five years now and I wanted tocome by and see him play,” hesaid. “I love the program, it giveskids the chance to learn the gameof basketball and enjoy them-selves.”

Michel, State Rep. AngeloScaccia and representatives fromthe Boston City Council and theoffice of Boston Mayor MartyWalsh all honored three coachesfor their service to the communitythrough the HPYB. They all gaveout plaques and accolades to

coaches Matt O’Neill, DannyKalayjia and Enrique Rodriguezfor the annual Fred Burke Com-munity Service Award.

“These young men played inthe league and now they’re backhere coaching and that’s how thisorganization is not only going tosurvive but it’s going to get bet-ter, and better and better everyyear,” said Scaccia.

Player Nick Hines was alsogiven an award and accolades forwinning the yearly essay contestabout sportsmanship. Twelveteams made the All Star Gamethis year, with Timothy Trotman,Barron Langston, Hijjah Allen-Paisley, Nathaniel Bodden, EzayiMauresthene, Amani Andujar,Josiah Banks and Stuart Chaban-Griffith for the Craig Curran Di-vision South.

My Kindof Town/Joe Galeota

Woman beats train in 100-yard effortMost boys growing up in

Boston dream about running100 yards on a football fielduntouched by any opponent.The venue for such a fantasymight be White Stadium, EastBoston Memorial Stadium orthe fields abutt ing WestRoxbury High, English High,Catholic Memorial or BCHigh.

More than half a centuryago I did such, but I was noton a football team. I was asummer groundskeeper atWhite Stadium, and had thewhole field to myself on sev-eral occasions when I wouldgallop from one end zone tothe other.

No sprinter’s or footballplayer’s dash could match inimportance as that done by19-year-old Ashley Aldridgeon Sept. 15, 2015. A recentNational Geographic refer-ence, too brief as a matter offact, outlines this truly amaz-ing woman’s sprint; subse-quent on-line investigationinto her deed revealed muchmore to extol her act.

Working in the kitchen ofher mobile home in a smallcentral Illinois town, she hadan obstructed view of therailroad grade crossing abouta football field’s length away.Having just finished feedinglunch to her 1 and 2-year-oldchildren, she noticed throughthe kitchen window that awheelchair in the middle ofthe grade crossing was stuck.The wheelchair occupant wasyelling for help, but at leastthree vehicles blew by him

without stopping. Aldridge asked a neigh-

bor to watch her two kids sothat she could go help. Sud-denly she heard a train hornblast and the clanging of thecrossing gate’s bell. Bare-foot, she realized that nowshe needed to run at fullspeed and on the railroad’srocky stone bed to the 75-year-old man.

When she reached thewheelchair, which was mo-torized, the train was lessthan half a mile away downthe straight track. Approach-ing at almost 80 miles per hour,the locomotive’s horn was al-ready blaring.

She could not dislodge theheavy wheelchair, nor couldshe lift the heavy septuagenar-ian out of the wheelchair. Asthe train barreled toward them,with the blaring of the horn al-most deafening both of them,

she gave one final heave - wasit an adrenaline rush or thekindness of our God or a com-bination of both? - to yank himfree in a literal nick of time.Both fell backwards as the roar-ing locomotive smashed thewheelchair, pushing parts of ita half mile down the track.

The saved man was neitherher grandfather nor uncle, nordid she even know him.

Auburn, Ill., is a small townof 4,700 citizens; the man wasan utter and complete stranger,who would later claim thatAshley was his “guardian an-gel.”

Her reward was meager bytoday’s standards of giveawayson television quiz programs.AMTRAK gave her a couple offree tickets, and the ChathamCountry Market in the nearbytown of Chatham, Ill. (popula-tion 12,000) gave her three min-utes to pile anything shewanted into a grocery cart. Nofool she, Aldridge wentstraight for the higher priceditems that she would not nor-mally buy.

“I’m pretty excited becausewe haven’t been able to buy awhole bunch of food for thekids. I’m glad I can finallymake them real food and notmacaroni and cheese all thetime,” she said.

The $187 windfall cer-tainly came at the right time.Before the rescue, someonebroke into their trailer homeand stole money meant forfood and other bills.

Our God certainly worksin strange ways.

A LOT OF SQUAWKINGABOUT THE HEN HOUSE

To the Editor:I could not let another day

go by without commenting onyour article about the twohens and chicken coup onCorey Street.

In West Roxbury, wherethere are three and four-storycondos going up anywherethere is a vacant gas station,parking lot , abandonedhouse, or just green space, thefuss over two hens seemslaughable.

The contractors and de-velopers just ask for a vari-ance from the zoning boardif their buildings do not meet

local codes and are grantedthe variance.

I cannot imagine said zon-ing board refusing to grant avariance for a chicken coupwhen they grant them all thetime for very large condos onvery small lots. All this re-gardless of what the adjoin-ing neighbors want.

I wonder if the peoplewho are complaining are asworried about traffic, lack ofadequate parking height ofbuildings and density ofpeople from all these condosas they are about the twohens.

THE WHEELSON THE BUS

Editorial

At-Large City Councilor Annissa Essaibi-George is de-manding to know why the cost savings promised by the Bos-ton Public Schools Transportation Department have not yetbeen realized. Instead, for Fiscal Year 2018, there is a trans-portation cost overrun.

The short answer: anytime the government promises tosave money, it doesn’t. Taxpayer dollars will always betucked into a corner where it is “needed.”

Last fall, the BPS promised a cost savings of around $10million from new efficiency programs, including a contro-versial route-mapping change engineered with MIT.

In fairness to the school department, overhauls of thissort do take time. And, those new bus routes and times weredespised despite the savings.

Here, however is the real problem. At a recent meeting,Chief of BPS Operations John Hamlin said that one of thebiggest issues facing the BPS is half of students served byBPS Transportation are not BPS school students.

For the BPS, the department transports 33,545 BPS stu-dents to 133 sites every day, 166 students to 63 sites forprivate special education, 1,853 students to 43 sites for pri-vate or parochial schools and 7,406 students to 29 chartersites.

This is the travesty that needs to be fixed. We have highpraise for a parochial education and support charter schools,but the extra rides need to stop even if it takes legislation todo so.

Yes, we understand you are all taxpayers and should haveequal access to the services public schools have. But whyshould City schools subsidize competitors to such a lop-sided degree? Nearly 10,000 kids ride to school on Boston’sdime while students get up at dawn to work their way acrossthe city by MBTA. Let the charter kids do some of that samecreative travelling to get to school each morning.

At the very least invest in some cheaper form of trans-portation for these kids.

Then, indulge us; there is still the idea of returning toneighborhood schools. That, however, is an argument foranother day.

TIP OF THE WATERLOGGED CAPOur propensity for late winter storms has certainly con-

tinued this year, with two terrible, flood-inducing beastsback-to-back. As we should do more often, let’s take aminute to praise all the firefighters, EMS crews, and policewho have done an exemplary job of keeping us safe. It takesa special breed to rush into a storm, not seek shelter from it.We, as a city, are very lucky to have dedicated servants ofthis quality.

Oh, and the repair and construction crews out there. Wehaven’t forgotten your hard, cold, and sometimes thanklesswork. Restoring power to so many people must be an abso-lute nightmare, yet it is amazing (despite the inevitable crit-ics) how fast the job is getting done. Your work is appreci-ated!

and work, with some help fromhis older brother, Jean Rolf,who serves as his youngerbrother’s interpreter when nec-essary.

Falid, speaking for himself,described working with what-ever materials he could find tocreate art as a little boy grow-ing up in Haiti.

“Since I was a kid, I used totransform things: a piece ofwood and make somethinggreat, or a piece of paper andplastic... I would mix them to-gether and try to create some-thing very nice,” Falid said.

This background immedi-ately became evident looking atthe seven pieces of art hangingaround one corner of the room:Oils; a wood carving; a reliefmade from soaked newspaper;acrylic paint; and wood, solidi-fied with modeling paste; an-other made from Bondo autobody filler and paint.

We looked up at the oilpainting, Free Not – althoughMilord said that this wasn’t histitle – that advertised the event:a dove bursting through a holein the white background buttethered by one of its ankles,with indistinct masses of peoplevisible behind the edge of thewhite.

“It’s a picture of the soci-ety,” Falid said before askinghis brother for help.

“It kind of explains howpeople are trying to escape fromthe problems of society,” JeanRolf interpreted. “Even thoughyou’re trying to but, because ofconnections, that same societyyou’re trying to get away fromis pulling you back.”

The white background rep-

resents the veil of life and,originally, Falid had not in-tended for it to be in the paint-ing, but he didn’t want viewersto see only the problem, so hechose to cover the backgroundof the canvas with the veil, leav-ing only a little bit of societyvisible behind it.

The painting was donequickly – the main portion doneover the period of a few hours– though Jean Rolf explainedthat the plan often changes.

“He might start somethingthat he might do in three hoursand, at the same time, he mightstart something thinking thatit’s going to be done in threehours and it takes a month,”Jean Rolf said.

Milord also follows his in-spiration. Another oil paintinghanging cornered toward FreeNot is a continuation of thesame theme with the birds inDon’t Fly perched on an out-stretched arm representing so-ciety keeping a hold of them.According to Milord, it waspainted right after the first.

The small crowd at the re-ception was comprised mainlyof Haitian artists – all of whomappear as contributors in Mi-grating Colors.

One of them, Myrlène“Mimi” Désir, explained the ra-tionale behind the book and thedual reception.

“We leave the country butwe are still in the country whenwe are around each other.That’s why we combined to dothat beautiful book and to behere today for Falid,” she said.

The book itself is a compi-lation of 30 Haitian artists fromNew England, each of whomhave a few sample worksshown on their pages alongwith a photo and brief biogra-phy of the artist. It was twoyears in the making. Its ProjectDirector was Charlot Lucien,one of the founders of HAAM.

Another, Joseph Chéry,went into a little more detail.

“Charlot and I spearheadedthe Haitian Artists Assemblyback in 1989-90. So we’ve beenrunning this ad hoc, informalorganization since then,” hesaid.

According to Chéry, the or-ganization was originally com-prised of visual, performance,and literary artists, “but the (vi-sual) artists have been prettymuch the most active part of theAssembly.”

“This is a good 20 years ofwork,” he said.

As explained by Presidentand Founder of Artists-at-LargeThomas Seggers, the plan forthe reception was to drawpeople in to see Milord’s workand then lead them to the book.

“This will spiral out into aseries of exhibits over the com-ing year,” Seggers said.

In the old reading room ofthe Library, some refreshmentsare served as the group gathersaround in easy chairs to askquestions and to hear Milord’scomments. His brother andchildren sit around him.

After Falid told of his olderbrothers inspiring him to be-come interested in making art,Jean Rolf gave an example ofhow his younger brother con-tinues to take it further, usingas an example a photo of burn-ing wood that he thought wasbeautiful, photographed, andsent to Falid, who made artfrom it.

“Sometimes I have an ideathat I cannot express, so I giveit to Falid,” he said.

Ask The Doctor2018 Infiniti QX80 AWD

The 2018 Infinity QX80 features more technology and safety equipment, an all new hydraulic suspension, plusthird row seating and more. Power is from a carryover 5.6 liter, V/8 engine with 400 horsepower via a 7-speedautomatic transmission. The AWD transfer case has both high and low range. The transmission also has a towmode for towing or carrying heavy loads.

When one thinks of a large SUV, most think of GM or Ford. Move over – the Infiniti QX80 is a game changer.From the heated and ventilated front seating to the heated steering wheel, 13-speaker Bose audio system, 8-inchtouchscreen display with voice recognition, front and rear sonar system cruise control, tri-zone temperaturecontrol, plus more, this is a luxury SUV that is truly a multipurpose vehicle.

The QX80 rides and handles more carlike than SUV. The seating is firm and the leather is very soft and plush.Steering hub controls are a big plus. Heating, audio even the NAV system are easy to control from simple knobs.But don’t worry, there is also the touchscreen if you choose.

This is a quality, seriously large seven passenger vehicle made here in the USA. Our test QX80 base price was$67,850 (plus $995 destination). Option packages are as follows: Deluxe Technology Package at $5,700 includingsmart rear-view mirror, upgraded 15-speaker Bose audio, semi-aniline leather seating with quilting, climatecontrolled front seating, hydraulic body motion control, adaptive front lighting, and chrome mirror caps. TheaterPackage is $2,450, with dual 8-inch rear seat monitors, two wireless headphones, wireless remotes, 120-volt rearoutlet, heated second row seats, and remote tip-up rear seats.

Twenty-two-inch tire upgrade with alloy wheels: $2,800; split bench seat package: $250; driver assist package:$2,900, with backup collision intervention, blind spot warning, blind spot intervention, lane departure warning,lane departure prevention, intelligent cruise control, forward emergency braking, and forward collision warning.Roof rails, cross bars, radiant illuminated kick panels, and Infiniti WIFI finish the options for a MSRP of $84,910.EPA: 13 city, 19 highway, 15 MPG combined. The bottom line is the QX80 is a step above the competition.


platforms would be the mostexpensive; around $4 to $5 mil-lion for each station to installhigh-level platforms.

“Each Commuter Rail sta-tion has situational differencesand there are additional coststo accommodate that,” Ebunasaid.

The second problem is thatin some areas there are not tworails in place. At Peter’s Hill inthe Arnold Arboretum, the linecombines into one rail from twoand does not split back untilBaker Street.

“Our estimates are that thereare some small and some not-so-small bottlenecks where youwould need double track ser-vice to ensure that trains aren’twaiting for other trains to getthrough their sections,” Ebunasaid. “It is possible for us to doboth double tracking and Or-ange Line extension for morefrequent service throughout.”

The idea for extending theOrange Line at least toRoslindale Station has beenfloated as well for the Go Bos-ton 2030 Transportation Plan,but estimates there put thatsmall extension at $35 million,though Ebuna said that in thelong term for this plan theMBTA could realize a hugesavings through maintenance.The MBTA maintains a Com-muter Rail fleet of 125 locomo-tives with about 85 in activeservice, and Ebuna said those

Orange Line continued from page 1machines are big, clunky andexpensive to maintain andbreak down frequently.

“They have a lot of movingparts and they fail far more fre-quently than even than theworst-performing electric mul-tiple units like those in use to-day in New York City, for ex-ample,” he said.

Ebuna said the more short-term issue in their plan revolvesaround the Fairmount Line.Ebuna said the first thing wouldbe to electrify the whole line andthey would also run into the sta-tion platform height problem.He said the cost for electrifica-tion isn’t all that expensive com-pared with any other capital in-vestment the MBTA is currentlygoing through.

“It’s about $4 million perroute, mile for nine miles plus$20 million for the two remain-ing stations, putting it at $80 mil-lion for the whole thing,” hesaid. “For the Fairmount Line,we think $80 million is a rela-tively small appropriation totake to get real rapid transit onthe Fairmount Line... Thiswould ensure more frequent ser-vice for the communities ofcolor and the transit justice com-munities in Dorchester andMattapan”

The report goes a bit fartherthan that, calling for electrifica-tion of the entire ProvidenceStoughton Line and the procure-ment or use of electric multipleunits on the whole system. Thiswould require cooperation,however, between all the mu-nicipalities affected, the MBTAand the State of Rhode Island.

On Saturday afternoon,March 3, HP150 presented alecture at the Menino Arts Cen-ter (26 Central Ave.) entitled“The Grimké Sisters in TheirHyde Park Years: Educators,Aunts, and Voters.”

Presented by author and his-torian Louise W. Knight, thefree event was attended bymore than 50 people who filledthe main room of the secondfloor gallery to hear about theseoften overlooked siblings wholeft their own mark on Ameri-can history and the history ofHyde Park.

In her 45-minute lecture,

Knight – who is currently work-ing on a book about the pair –briefly chronicled the lives ofSarah (1792-1873) andAngelina (1805-1879), whowere born into antebellumCharleston aristocracy andslave-driven wealth and grewup to become two of the firstfemale advocates of abolitionand women’s rights.

Knight brought attention tothe sisters’ 1836-1838 travelsacross the Northeast as thenation’s first anti-slavery orga-nizers, offering her opinion oftheir experience in broaderterms.

“This is sort of the begin-ning, in my view, of women’s

activism in this country, arounda particular issued.”

During this period theGrimkés encouraged women toorganize anti-slavery societies,circulated petitions to Con-gress, and gave many speechesat meeting halls, churches, and– when they weren’t allowedaccess – in fields where theywould sometimes draw thou-sands.

Speaking of the Abolition-ist Movement of the 1830’s,Knight tried to shed some lighton its motivations in relation tothe Grimkés.

“These abolitionists werekind to black people in the way

Winners ofthese games will meet the topseeds Wednesday night at theMuni, with the Championshipgame taking place on Saturday,March 17.

Royals 36– Raptors 30Championship preview?

Only if the chalk holds. TheRoyals jumped the Raptorsearly, and held on for a solidvictory in a competitive gamebetween the regular season’stop two teams. The Raptorsdouble- and triple-teamed RyanHarrell, “limiting” him to 20points. Gionny Centeio (12)had a strong game, and SeanLendaro hit a couple of key put-backs to ignite an early surgefor the victors. JonathanHernandez, Oscar Torres, andKhile Ralph played hard at bothends to help secure the ‘W.’Barron Langston (12) had abreak out game with some nicelow post moves and excellentwork on the glass. TimmyTrotman (11) and Hijjah Allen-Paisley (7) were solid as usualfor the Raptors, who got greateffort from Jason Keidy,Feliciano Tavares, TatiannaTrotman, and Jaylen Ward.

3-Pointers 25 – Cowboys 15In a display of team offense,

seven different players scoredto get the Treys the victory:Pierce Edouard (7), DestyneeEverett (5), Chace Ross (4),Chandler Frederick, KamariParry, Michael Williams andDevaun Davis all contributed.The Cowboys also spread thescoring around, as KhalilSeales (6) led the way with helpfrom Zach Kromah, JadenDavis, Austin Cranmore, StuartChabben-Griffith and JosiahBanks. Armani Andujar did anice job handling the ball whileGabriel Labrance hustled atboth ends.

Sonics 27 – Blue Devils 23Amir Molineau (8) and

Anicia Cruz (7) paced theSonics in a hard fought win

over the Devils. ShamilahBodden and Ezayi Maruesthenecontribured 5 points each, andTroy Omorughomwan tossed ina big bucket as NathanielBodden and Soujourner Mad-den-Fulco led the defense. TheDukies used a balanced attackto be competitive, as GersmaniRivera (8), Keyona Raines (6),Casey Idemudia (4), WaldjeenaDangerville (3) and MatthewEviellard all scored. The winsecured the 3-seed for theSonics, who had tied the BlueDevils earlier in the season.

Panthers 56 vs. Riot Squad 42With all hands on deck the

10 x 10 Panthers had nine play-ers score points in this very im-portant contest. The startingfive for this game played welland left little to be determined.Still using a running rotation ofthe other 5 players the outcomewas set by halftime. JahiidAllen-Paisley, Malik Freeman,and Nosa Egoban were out-standing. Key rebounds andbaskets by Marvin Egoban, TreRobinson, and Benji Pierrewere hard hits as well. BuddiesJordan Crawford-Cranmoreand Cam Evans had baskets,

and Dreamer Danglad and JuanGonzalez closed out CoachRodney’s plan.

We are certain Coach Kreggand his players were aware thatthis was an important game, butthe team played flat and non-responsive in an uncharacteris-tic manner. While playing gooddefense the offense just did notcome together this week as inweeks past. Using a full playerrotation the Coach gave theteam its chances to be who theyhave been and Justin and Jor-dan Elow joined IsaiahFigueroa and Jovanny Martinezin a valiant effort. Cory Cunniffand Jeremy Gonzalez playedhard as well. Sure shots Wayne

Meadows, Devon Marshall,and Jameer Wallace earned lessthan 30 points this game.Kymani Fleurme caught fire inthe fourth but the end was set.

76ers 40 vs. Heat 28Coach Corbin is still trying

to get some players to workcloser to the hoop. Holding tothis version of the Magnificent7 the 76ers are still a team tobe reckoned with. Trailing by4 points at halftime, a stern talk-ing to seemed to do the job forthe squad to assert itself. Keyrebounds and long drives to thebasket by both Andrew Hilianoand Nate McCarthy put the top-ping on the late charge to a win.Big contributions from HenryMelkonian, Makyle Hayes, andAbel Marrero-Lara at bothends. Danny McDonough gaveup his shooting to play fiercedefense and rebound this game,while smooth ball handler JayJackson pulled off some insidedrives that left the defenderswondering.

These guys are just a fewminutes away from being a truethorn in the side. Coach Wrightwill make better use of his timeouts and the players will learnto pace themselves. The teamhas learned to spread out theirfouls, and scoring inside ongood passing is working. Miss-ing the other ball handler willallow Robert Gant to play in-side. The trio of terror, JovanArroyo, Kervens Charles,and Freddy Jackson will, andhas done lots of hard work.Robert Tabb must playsmarter to be in the game late.Sabastian McCuller is ashooter, and has to shot to beeffective. Korey Sam is asteady scorer. If AntonioTorres runs ahead of the ball

Coach Winston’s 9 guysshow every week usually, andplay tough. Only committinga few fouls again in each halfhelped. Bruise brothers NatCozier, Nazaiah Evans, andAlder Lara all reboundedwell again. Streakers AlexSillice, Pierre Fortune, andChris Sillice streaked to easybaskets. Anthony Consalvohit the only 3 point shot forthe team at a key time. Butball handling by Max Velezand Jaaziel Ramos hurt theother team late in the game.This team works really hardlate in the game, and will bea tough match up for anyteam in the playoffs. Some-one will have to outreboundthem, or find a way to stopthe streakers.

Coach Jose has a way toput more offensive sets ineach week, and the playersseem to have some concept ofthe new process. Quinn Mar-tin has to show up to play.Big man inside ChrisMartinez is a must to make adifference. Jose Zayas mustplay under control to be thescorer that he can be. MichailPimentel and Kwest Deloneyjust needs to calm down toscore. Malachi Bodden is afull speed guy and needs toslow down just a bit on scor-ing drives. Akil Grubbs insidedefense is fierce and he’s tak-ing more shots. Lastly, JaymarGuirado has shown he candribble and score, and should doso.

ing the age of people who canbuy guns and are going tostop selling assault styleweapons, and marches will betaking place on March 24around the issue of gun control.

Each mass shooting feelslike that movie GroundhogDay where we say the samethings over and over again.Thoughts and prayers every-one says, and while that isgood we can’t stop there. Theother phrase you hear timeand time again is, “now is notthe time.” There will never bea good time to discuss a massshooting, but we need to dis-cuss it. The NRA stays quietfor a few days and then theiranswer is to increase the num-ber of people who have guns.

Arming teachers is not theanswer, and increasing theavailability of guns is not theanswer. Teachers performmany roles, but arming themto prevent the next shootingshould not be one of them.Mass shootings do not happenonly at schools. They havehappened at churches, work-places, and movie theaters toname just a couple of places.Are we going to arm churchushers and ticket takers next?

President Trump says wehave to harden schools but,how hard? I want schools tobe safer, but not make schoolsfeel like prisons.

Why am I pessimistic on a

Letters continued from page 4federal level? Let’s go back tothe Las Vegas shooting where,I believe, 51 people lost theirlives. One reason was theshooter was able to attach abump stock to the semi-auto-matics which allowed him tofire many more rounds fromhis hotel room.

There was a big call after-wards to ban bump stocks.Now, guess what happenedsince then. Only one state hasbanned them, Massachusetts.

People will say this is notabout guns, they blame thementally ill.

We have to do better withthe way we treat the mentallyill, but do not use them as theexcuse for mass shootings.

One phrase that really up-sets me after a mass shootingis that there is nothing we cando. That is not correct. Itwould be more correct to saythere is not the will legisla-tively to do anything. Lookaround the world, we own thetitle of mass shootings cham-pion. I know guns are inter-twined with the history of thisnation, but mass shootingsonly started to spike in the1990s.

We need to find the willand, maybe, those studentsand parents from Parkland areshowing us how to do it.

account. From there, the pa-tient will be allowed into thelimited access waiting areaand, from there, will be buzzedinto the dispensing area,where a patient care profes-sional will assist.

Krane also informed theaudience that there are Stateimposed limits on how muchcannabis a patient is allowedto purchase over any giventwo week period, which istracked on the State’s data-base system.

The marijuana that wouldbe available at the EvergreenFarms dispensary would begrown by the company at a65,000 square foot warehousein Worcester. Here, all of theproduct in its different formswill be packaged, labeled, andsealed for delivery to the re-tail site at 883 Hyde Park Ave.

The marijuana that wouldbe for sale at the dispensarywould not be covered underinsurance and would be com-petitive with the black marketprice.

“If we charge too little,then there’s an incentive forpeople to purchase it and thengo and flip it on the black mar-ket,” Krane explained, al-though he did add that a dis-

Dispensary continued from page 1

count program would be madeavailable for low income pa-tients as well as military vet-erans.

Responding to a questionregarding security measuresfor the site, Krane describedan elaborate obstacle coursethat any potential thief wouldhave to get through, involvingcameras, motion detectors, noless than five locked doors, abiometric vault door, and acombination safe within thevault.

“Anybody who’s lookingat this as a potential target isgoing to have a lot better lucktrying to rob the local pack-age store or gas station thanthey are a facility like this,”he concluded.

Additionally, he explainedthat there would be camerasin the immediate neighbor-hood surrounding the build-ing, as well as a security guardat the front door during hightraffic hours.

Krane was asked anotherquestion about why EvergreenFarms had chosen to pursuethe more rigorous medicalmarijuana dispensary ratherthan a recreational one and ifit intended to switch over atsome point in the future.

Krane prefaced his answerby explaining that recre-ational permiting was not yetin place within the city.

“It’s possible that down theroad, we may have the oppor-tunity to apply to convert thatto a recreational dispensary,but we don’t know if we’llhave the opportunity and wehaven’t made any decisionsabout whether or not we woulddo that,” Krane said. “If we hadthe opportunity, we don’t knowwhat the zoning rules are go-ing to look like for that yet, soit’s just not a decision thatwe’re contemplating at thispoint.”

As Evergreen Farms contin-ues with its application process,its representatives will continueto check in with the HPNA toupdate it on its progress.

that people who feel superiorare kind to their supposed in-feriors,” she explained beforefinishing the comparison.“The Grimkés honestly facedand sought to correct their ra-cial biases.”

She went a little further indescribing their philosophy.“The sister’s conviction thatall human beings were equal– regardless of the color oftheir skin – grew out of theirbelief in what they called ‘hu-man rights.’”

Knight put forward theidea that the Grimkés’ idea ofhuman rights was far ahead ofits time because of their be-lief that human beings hadrights because they weremoral beings and so, whatevermoral rights the most privi-leged might have, all peoplewould have.

“As Sarah wrote,” Knightread, ‘Human rights are notbased upon sex, color, capac-ity, or condition. They areuniversal, inalienable, andeternal.’”

The Grimkés’ time astraveling abolitionists did notlast very long. In 1838,Angelina married TheodoreWeld and Sarah went alongwith them to Fort Lee, NewJersey. Soon pregnant withthe first of three children,

both sisters and Weld went intoteaching and opened a smallhome school.

Knight said, “In becomingeducators, the Grimké-Weldsdid not see themselves as hav-ing abandoned reform, but ashaving redirected their ener-gies into shaping reformers ofthe next generation.”

Having been offered teach-ing positions at Dr. Dio Lewis’School for Young Ladies inLexington in 1863, theGrimké-Welds somehowfound Hyde Park (then calledthe village of Fairmount) andmoved into a house (no longerstanding) on the corner ofFairmount Avenue and High-land Street.

It was while they were inHyde Park that the Grimkés –seizing on language in the 14thAmendment – became two ofthe first women in the Com-monwealth to demonstrate theirright to vote when – on March7, 1870 – they and a group ofabout 50 other women walkedthrough the center of town inthe middle of a snowstorm toTown Hall (located at the cor-ner of River Street and GordonAvenue) walked in to a largecrowd of hisses, laughter, andeventually applause as they casttheir symbolic votes.

Catching up with Knight af-

ter she had finished her lecture,she shared what she thoughtwas the lasting significance ofthe mock votes that were castthat day.

“As long as you’ve neverseen women vote, it’s evenhard to imagine. And so it’s alittle piece knocking down avery big wall. It’s a little chunkin the wall. More and morewomen did it and, if nothingelse, it starts the conversation,right?”
