Greg Lally – 2023 Mayor of South Boston

And this year, Greg successfully ran for the position of Mayor of South Boston. He won! Greg Lally is the 2023 Mayor of South Boston

South Boston Ambassador

by Rick Winterson

Right up front, meet Greg Lally. Greg is a born-and-raised South Bostonian, who is still a local resident living near G and Fifth Streets. He is 29, he works in South Boston, and he spends much of his spare time taking part in South Boston’s various activities.

The campaign for “Mayor of South Boston” is actually a way to raise funds for our annual St. Patrick’s /Evacuation Day Parade – please be aware that each year the Parade is privately funded – yes, we said privately funded! The Mayor’s race gets underway about seven weeks before March, the Parade month, begins. The candidates, who are all volunteers, organize their campaigns, collect donations, and arrange to have South Boston “times” that encourage people to contribute to the Parade. Many of these “times” are really enjoyable parties; Parade supporters willingly contribute to be part of what has become

Marisa Carlini: Business Owner, Coach, Teacher, Volunteer

When you see Marisa Carlini in the neighborhood, she will likely have a smile on her face.

Whether in her shop (LUXE home interiors), coaching on

the softball field or basketball court, or teaching at Miss Linda’s School of Dance, it’s important for Marisa to give back.

“I care about kids; I love teaching them,” she said. “You walk out happy.”

Marisa played basketball and softball and was a dancer herself. So it was natural for her to help out in the community. Her kids, Chloe, 12, and Sadie, 13, Continued on Page 3

our South Boston “Season”.

In our interview with Greg prior to this article, he told us that he first wanted to become the Mayor of South Boston when he was in his pre-teens. “At that time, it was a cool thing, and I really liked the people in the Mayors’ races”, Greg said. But Greg’s schoolwork took priority – first at Gate of Heaven, then Memorial High, and on to Quincy College for an Associate degree and a BA degree in Business Management at Curry College. These days, Greg is

busy professionally. He has served as the Athletic Director at the Tynan community Center for seven years, after four years in the PAL. He holds down a second evening job as well, with Local 11 of the Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE). And he has coached Gatey CYO Basketball. Greg is very proud of the kids he once coached. He follows their progress closely whenever he can – for example, he goes to games played by Jake Harrison, who is a forward in Division 3 basketball at Western New England/Nichols College.

To understand why Greg

did so well in his South Boston Mayoral campaign, consider his college education in Business Management. Right away, he set a goal for his campaign, and then planned for it in advance of starting the campaign. He organized his volunteers carefully; he worked hard himself – every night for seven weeks. And it worked – to the best of our knowledge, Greg Lally’s campaign raised much more than any past Mayor of South Boston ever has. The entire efforts of the four 2023 Mayoral candidates raised funds that added up to nearly six figures.

Greg’s volunteers included Linda Doherty (Greg’s cousin), Brendan Kelly, Jackie Higgins, Joey Sweeney, Brian Fitzgerald, Matt Beggan, Haley Dillon (a past Mayor), and Mikey Walsh. He was extremely grateful to his mother and father, Kathy and Kevin Lally, for their constant help during his campaign. He also thanked Hannah Arlauskas at Playground Yoga, Susan Woods at the L Street Tavern, and the Connollys, who hosted Greg’s 150-person campaign party for people of all ages at Seapoint on Saturday, January 21.

Congratulations, Greg.

Letter to the Editor - Billboard on Polish Club

Dearest Friends,

Well - we did all we could. After 2+ years, numerous meetings, and one lawsuit against the City of Boston Zoning Board of Appeals, the club has lost what may be our final vote for the billboard 5-2. This means that we will not be allowed to construct a billboard on the back of our property that would generate much needed revenue to help us support our Club operations.

We were so hopeful that this billboard would be approved by the City and allow us to see our vision for the future of our club become a reality - in particular, using the money to help us build a kitchen where we could serve food to our members and guests.

The officers and directors would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped in this process. A huge thank you to all of you who wrote letters, made phone calls, attended meetings and waited almost 4 hours during the hearing today before our appeal was called.

Our heartfelt thanks to the McCormack, Andrews Square and Polish Triangle neighborhood associations for their support (as well as Councilors Michael Flaherty and Erin Murphy who spoke on our behalf during the hearing).

Obviously this is disappointing news. We are seeing if there is any remaining path forward for the billboard and will keep you all updated.

In the meantime, if you want to support the Polish Club, come by for a drink (and bring your friends). Rent

the hall for your next event. Attend our events (we are looking for volunteers to help with Polish Fest planning). Make sure your membership is up to date and recommend membership for your Polish friends and family. Make a donation.

Again, thank you all for your support and help in this process. It did not turn out how we hoped, but that will

not deter us from making sure the Polish Club not only survives, but thrives.

Kind regards,

Z wyrazami szacunku, The officers and directors of the Polish American Citizens Club Stasia, Eric, Peter, Erica, Jay, Dawn, Ed, Keith, and Joanna

pieces to feature in the shop.

She also offers a free one-hour consultation for interior design. At this house call, she finds out what the customer is looking for, their budget, their style. These sessions might be for draperies or accessories, furniture or pillows.

When you stop in the shop, you’ll also get to meet Marisa’s cute dog, Baylor, who is her constant companion.

have been going to Miss Linda’s forever. To give back, Marisa teaches 4- and 5-year-old dancers.

Her kids go to South Boston Catholic Academy and she coaches basketball there. She’s also involved with Southie softball.

“It takes you out of your own life for an hour where I’m not thinking about the business,” Marisa said.

Speaking of business, Marisa’s boutique at 66A L Street is turning 1 this month. LUXE offers Marisa’s interior design services as well as a retail shop. She specializes in discovering rare and unusual decorative pieces. “Our boutique store and design services will provide relaxed, sophisticated, layered looks, satisfying city living, family living, and busy living.”

After 30 years in the design industry at the Design Center, Marisa realized her dream of opening her own shop, calling it one of the best decisions she’s ever made.

The timing was right, the situation was perfect. The space opened up right near her house. “After 30 years of working for somebody else, I can bring my knowledge and relationships to my own space.”

It was sort of unplanned, but she credits SCORE Boston and Eastern Bank for helping her get started.

The first year saw ups and downs, ebbs and flows, but she’s having a blast.

The retail part has been fun, Marisa said, noting she enjoys researching and choosing which

The shop is a perfect fit for Marisa, a people person. “It’s been a joy to meet so many people. I love that part of it,” she said, noting she’s made many new friends since opening the shop.

“I hope to have a personal connection with each and every one of you by providing quality service and products and great customer care,” said Marisa.

Along that same vein, Marisa, 56, is an unofficial small business ambassador in the neighborhood. “I try to support locals.”

When new businesses open, she stops by, helps promote them, and encourages them to join the South Boston Chamber of Commerce. She has items from local makers and businesses in her shop and hosts sip & shops with local makers.

What’s the highlight from her first year? Being an entrepreneur, she said. “I’m proud of myself for doing this.”

What’s she looking forward to in Year 2? More business, more people seeing her boutique. “I’m hoping that my relationships with people will spread the word.”

The native New Yorker has lived in South Boston for 18 years and loves it.

“I love that it’s convenient. It’s a large neighborhood … I love that there’s so many parks. And I love the beach. I just love the city atmosphere. I love my kids being raised here.

And she loves the people.

beautiful views. I enjoy seeing the people who walk their dogs, and there is just a sense of community. I didn’t just want to work at the hotel, but to know the barber, grocery stores, and other businesses,” he said. “I knew in about a month in that I liked it better than New York City, and that’s a big deal, plus my mother liked it when she visited from Brazil!”

Not every Boston neighborhood has a hotel and not every hotel has a Claudio Pereira as General Manager. The Cambria Hotel, across from Broadway Station has sweeping rooftop views of the city, restaurants, event space, and this inspired manager who has made South Boston home.

Getting to know new places is familiar to Claudio Pereira,37, who early in life wanted to study many things and to apply his obvious curiosity with a wish to travel. Speaking four languages, he graduated with a degree in Hotel Management and an MBA in Brazil, and then went to Italy, back to Brazil, and then to Stamford, Ct. to explore boutique hotels and then to New York City where he remained working in luxury hotels until coming to Boston in September 2022. Through interesting and successful work and travel, he is clear about the important

influences. “It is my parents,” he said. “I owe them everything.”

He knows better than to think that you step into management without knowing and honoring all the hotel positions that contribute to the reputation of a hotel. “I started working on the front desk at a hotel for five years, and thought I am good at something! There are people who make their life’s work mastering one part of the hotel business and doing it with pride. People remember the staff they deal with and rarely with the general manager. The goal is excellence at every level, and we try never to say “no,” he said. “Guests know when the hospitality is authentic.”

“The days of a yearly evaluation are over. It is about steady feedback and consistent quality and working closely with all levels to provide a high norm,” he said. In fact, he chose Cambria because he thought that “no one is just a number. It’s small enough to have impact and make people proud to be part of it.”

There is a polite vigor to Claudio Pereira, who manages with a sharp mind, an eye on all aspects of the hotel, and a warm interpersonal style. In just six months, he has partnered with

Artists for Humanity and other organizations to serve guests following events and has become familiar and appreciative of many local haunts in South Boston.

Following years of pandemic and slowed hotel business, the right man has come on the scene and his seriousness, sophistication and congeniality are sure to promote this cornerstone hotel uniquely connecting South Boston, Downtown, the South End and Seaport.

“There is room for events, and I will work with community groups,” he said. “In addition, the gym is so nicely designed and there could be space for personal trainers to offer classes,” he offered. His expertise and interest in collaborations seems unlike other hotels and his personal touch more than marketing.

Despite familiar challenges of hiring and retaining motivated staff and dealing with high costs in Boston, Claudio Pereira is undaunted.

“This feels like the right place,” he said and as someone who could be anywhere nationally or internationally, that is quite a compliment.

Beckler Avenue is not a Driveway!

Apetition in opposition of the proposed 6 parking spaces in the rear of the East 5th street home on Beckler Ave is underway. The proposed parking spaces only entryway would be through Beckler Avenue a (dead end street). If the Board of Appeals granted this request to allow 6 parking spaces it would hold an extreme negative impact on the residents of Beckler Avenue. This proposal would adversely affect the safety of the occupants of Number 1 through 16 Beckler Avenue, including a significant number of children/elderly and disabled. it would also have a negative impact on the Beckler Avenue Rowhouse cul-de-sac, a historical district designated by the Boston Landmark Commission for its “community planning” and “architectural” significance

(National Register ID: BOS.AAU).

Not only would this impact the residents. It could affect a South Boston Community Halloween tradition that has been held on Beckler Avenue for over 30 years.

The Beckler Avenue Rowhouse district has provided a wonderful place to raise a family for more than 150 years. The cul-desac has been the central square for many generations. It was never designed to be a driveway.

The appeal hearing with the zoning board for this proposal is Tuesday March 14th.

On behalf of the current and future residents of Beckler Avenue, and out of respect for the 150 years of community building they have provided the City of Boston please go to (Change.org Beckler Ave is not a Driveway) and sign this petition in opposition of this proposed 6 parking spaces via Beckler avenue.

Henry Knox Unsung Heroes: Joe Arcari, Ayesha Lawton, Luanne O’Connor and Danny Monahan

SBCA President Tom McGrath and the Executive Board are pleased to announce on Saturday, March, 4th, 2023, at the Kick-off Breakfast, The Henry Knox Award Presentation will take place at the Seapoint Restaurant, 367 East 8th Street, at 10 a.m.

These awards are presented to everyday volunteers in the community who seek no recognition, and are considered “Unsung Heroes”, kicks off the month-long celebration for one of the most important events in American history.

This year’s recipients are:

Luanne O’Connor

Our first recipient is no stranger to the South Boston community and to label her a “community activist”, does not do Luanne O’Connor’s dedication to her South Boston community justice. She is a “defender of her neighbor”, a “promoter of all that is positive” about her hometown. When Luanne joins a community meeting on behalf of the City Point Neighborhood Association (CPNA) or shows up, camera in hand, at a local event on behalf of the South Boston Today (SBT) newspaper, anyone in a position of responsibility knows ‘Here come the tough questions.’

“Luanne loves her hometown of South Boston and you always know where Luanne stands. No softballs from Luanne”, SBCA president Tom McGrath stated.

Luanne O’Connor was born and raised at 56 H Street. Luanne is a 4th generation South Bostonian, and her son Matthew is 5th generation. Luanne attended South Boston High School during the 70’s and then went on to UMass Boston. In her limited spare time, Luanne enjoys playing darts, Boston sports, gardening, reading and shopping while keeping up with current events and politics.

In high school, Luanne worked at New England Merchants National Bank. This was the beginning of Luanne’s banking career, especially at Mt. Washington Bank, where she learned the skills of professionalism, listening and treating people with

respect. Luanne moved on to more challenging jobs as a manager of credit and collection, director of credit and collection, and accounts receivable manager in the high-tech industry. No doubt, in this role she honed her skill at ‘bottom line’ finance, using her acquired BS-detector expertise.

She was the former advertising manager for the South Boston Tribune up until its closure in October 2012. Currently, Luanne works for South Boston Today, covering local events in South Boston. She loves seeing her neighbors and friends at “Southie Times”. “It’s amazing when you see and capture multi generations on film. It gives me a sense of community, neighborhood and caring that South Boston is, “ Luanne said. “One of my favorite events is the Senior Salute. I get to see the wonderful families and friends that have known me since I was born, and I also get to see the friends I made by being out and active in the community. The wealth of information, stories and memories shared by our elders is our history.”

Anyone. who knows Luanne, will testify that she stands for open communication, honesty, transparency, community inclusion and action. Tom McGrath added, “South Boston and CPNA is lucky to have her on our side.”

Joe Arcari

The Association likes to recognize a business owner in the community who goes above and beyond, and our next Knox recipient is Joe Arcari of the Broadway Hospitality Group. With over two decades of experience in the restaurant industry, Joey created Broadway hospitality group to own, manage and build his everexpanding restaurant portfolio. The current portfolio includes such brands as Tavern in The Square, The Mercantile, The Broadway and The Playwright, with several more restaurant projects in the works over the next twenty-four months.

“Joe’s generosity throughout the Community is the true definition of being an “Unsung Hero” not seeking any recognition. Just ask any of the non-profit organization in the neighborhood, whether it be sports or educational institutions, Joe and his team will be involved in some way or another.” Stated President McGrath.

Joey’s role in BHG is concentrated

in the financing, designing and construction of all new locations. He thrives as the company CFO especially in these trying times. From finding new locations to negotiating leases, designing, building, and financing new projects, Joey actively participates in all that expansion details.

Born in Dublin, Ireland. Joey immigrated to America in 1994 to pursue the American Dream. With a quick two year stop in NY. He moved to Boston in 1995 and opened his first restaurant with his brother Mario and another fellow 22 club member, Jon Cronin.

Joey is a member of the Board of Directors of South Boston Neighborhood house along with being very active in many other local charities.

Arcari currently resides in Brookline with his wife Andrea, his daughter Annabelle.

Ayesha Lawton

Our next recipient is Ayesha Lawton who has been a Boston police Officer for17 years serving both the Mattapan and South Boston Communities. Three years ago, Office Lawton joined the C6 Community service office and began to forge invaluable relationships within the South Boston Community. Office Lawton began to have an immediate impact by developing programs to work with the youth in the community and at the same time, enhancing the relationship between the police and Community.

Officer Lawton led a youth leadership program for the young women, taught self- defense classes and assisted with Holiday events for the youth in the community. Officer Lawton has concentrated on working with children and families in need.

On a daily basis, Officer Lawton assists with issues in neighborhood schools and community centers, homeless issues throughout the neighborhood and noise complaints. Officer Lawton has developed a strong and respectful rapport with residents in South Boston by solving problems and developing strategies to handle quality-of-life complaints. “Officer Lawton embodies all of the great qualities of a community service officer and goes above great lengths to ensure our community feels not only safe but also connected and

heard.” Stated Captain Boyle of C6. Danny Monahan

Lastly, we have Danny Monahan. Dan was born, raised, and educated in South Boston. Growing up he played in the South Boston Youth Sports Programs. From a young age he witnessed what community service was all about as his mother was an instrumental part of the group that started the South Boston Youth Hockey League. Now as an adult, and in his professional career, Dan is deeply engaged with local community-based and volunteer programs in South Boston.

For 37+ years Dan worked with kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs, Tynan Community Center and BCYF. He spent 8 years at the SB Boys and Girls Club, 7 years at the Tynan, 12 years at a Boys and Girls Club in California and currently on his 11th year at BCYF. During those years Dan mentored and had a positive impact on so many in those communities whether it be through his career or through coaching. He currently is working at BCYF. “I have known Danny for 45 years and he has always gone above and beyond what was needed for any kid in need, whether it was helping one seek employment, or just making sure a teen had a team to be part of.” said McGrath.

During his early years as a regular the L Street Bath House (Curley Rec Center) Dan ran the very successful handball Tournament as well as the Volleyball League for many years. Dan also helped rejuvenate the L Street Brownies. Most recently his team was able to obtain official nonprofit status to help raise funds to support community groups, such as the SB Sports Hall of Fame Scholarship Trust Fund and the SB Special Kids and Young Adults to name a few.

Dan has two daughters Samantha and Halley and four brothers Bob, Kevin, Sean, and Terry.

Tom McGrath, President of the SBCA, said “It is an honor to recognize these individuals who dedicate their time and energy to the South Boston Community. I hope the community will join me and others on Saturday the 4th to honor these men and women.”

Tickets are available at the door for a 15.00 donation.

Supplies for Students: “Building Pathways”

“Building Pathways” is the title on a Building Trades Union poster. This poster was prominently displayed at last Saturday’s event in the Local 7 Ironworkers Hall on Old Colony Avenue – an event that featured the giving away of essential school supplies to teachers and students in the Boston Public Schools (the BPS). Yes, supplies are short in the BPS. And an even more emphatic “YES” can be shouted, because these supplies were given away free to Boston’s teachers and students – they are collected and distributed by union volunteers from the Boston Trade Unions. The supplies giveaway in the Ironworkers Hall was upbeat, cheerful, and generous. This was the third such event in the Hall. Many organizations who sell these supplies donated them free of charge last Saturday. It was a credit to the City of Boston’s Building Trades Unions, who are a credit to our City. And it was a moment of tribute to the City’s school teachers, who in the past have frequently had to provide and pay for classroom supplies out of their own pockets.

At this year’s conference, the DAV discussed six critical policy goals: rectifying inequities and providing parity in compensation benefits for veterans and survivors; implementing the PACT Act relating to toxic-exposure benefits; ensuring equity in Veterans Administration care, including services and benefits for women, LGBTQ+ and minority veterans; providing a wide range of long-term care options for servicedisabled and aging veterans; bolstering mental health resources to reduce veteran suicide; and expanding the VA’s capacity to deliver timely and high quality care to veterans.

“Attending the annual Disabled American Veterans Conference is a

great way to meet other veterans, learn about the issues that affect them, and advocate for better care and support for our veterans here in Boston and throughout the country.” said Council President Flynn. “Every year, I listen and bring back useful insights from the conference to my City and State colleagues so that we can better advocate and serve our local veterans. It is critical we continue supporting equitable healthcare for our women veterans, improving mental health care and resources for our veterans, and ensuring those who have been exposed to military toxic substances while serving are provided the necessary disability and health care benefits.”

Note: At the conference, Council President Flynn also advocated support for honoring African American Veterans through a U.S. Commemorative Stamp Series, something the Boston City Council has expressed support for.

Ms. Faith Smith’s 6th Grade students learned all about Ancient Egypt by taking a virtual field trip, writing their names using hieroglyphics, choosing what they would keep in their tombs, and being wrapped like mummies. Fantastic job 6thGrade!

Some interesting facts about Ancient Egypt…The Ancient Egyptian civilization spanned more than 3,000 years. King Tut was only 9 years old when he became ruler of Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian women and men were treated equally. Some Egyptian doctors had specialized fields of study. Ancient Egyptians loved board games. Cats were considered to be sacred animals.

many animals as pets. Most pyramids were built to be tombs for pharaohs. It took about a mile’s worth of bandages to wrap a mummy. There have been more than 130 pyramids discovered across Egypt. The Great Pyramid, or the Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest and largest Egyptian pyramid of the three pyramids towering over Giza. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence, despite its being the oldest wonder by about 2,000 years. The Pyramids of Giza are naturally temperature controlled. The hieroglyphic alphabet consisted of more than a thousand unique hieroglyphs. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first society to read and write.
