significance. On March 17, 1776, fortif ications that had been erected in a single night on Dorchester Heights forced the British troops to evacuate Boston. That was the first victory in America’s War for Independence; it earned General George Washington a gold medal and became known as Evacuation Day. Ever since then, what is now South Boston has observed this day and its critical victory. As the saying goes, “Without Evacuation Day, there would have been no Fourth of July.” Father Joe White began the day with a 9:30 Mass in the St. Augustine Chapel. One of St. Peter’s Epistle messages was “Be hospitable to one another …”. Luke’s Gospel was about the first Apostles being told by Christ as they fished on Lake Galilee that “ye shall become fishers of men”. Gen. Washington also knew Continued on Page 3

first formed in 1880, and just to keep the Banquet count accurate despite the COVID pandemic, it celebrated both its 140th and 141st Evacuation Day Banquets simultaneously last fall. And this March 17, 2022, was the 246th anniversary of the original Evacuation Day, which was the Continued on Page 6

The students at South Boston Catholic Academy had great questions about Evacuation Day, and learned from Colonel Knox about why their neighborhood has a National Park at its center. A Big Thank you to Mr. A rcher O’Reilly, Professor Rober t and M rs. Phyllis Allison and Mr. John Allison for coming to our school and
teaching us about this important event in South Boston history. Congratulations to our students in 6B who won the Evacuation Day Essay Contest. Our First Place win ner was A nshul Kesireddy, our Second Place Winner was Audrey Bahsen and our Third Place Winner was Kim Patel. Everyone who participated in this contest did a great job! On March 17, 1776, the British military evacuated the city of Boston, Massachusetts
and never returned. The city of Boston annually celebrates this day as an official holiday called Boston Evacu at ion Day. On Thursday, March 17, 2022 our 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders had a chance to attend the Evacuation Day Ceremony at Dorchester Heights.

Unfortunately, some rudely outspoken trash from elsewhere tried to shout Wu down, but despite that, she gave her remarks and received a standing ovation when she had finished. There was even an unemployed drummer making his noise. By the time he had stopped drumming, it was obvious why he was unemployed.

Boston City Councilor At-Large Erin Murphy, Named to the Commission to End Family Homelessess
“As the Chair of Public Health, Homelessness and Recovery, I am proud to be a member of the Commission on Family Homelessness,” said Erin Murphy, Boston City Councilor At-Large. “I look forward to our work ahead as we collaborate together to create a coordinated plan to end family homelessness in Boston. There is
such a negative impact on the health and educational progress of children who are homeless, so we need to come up with a concrete action plan to end this crisis. I am ready to partner with the other members on this Commission to make ending family homelessness a reality.” In her ongoing efforts to address the issue of homelessness in Boston, today Mayor Michelle Wu announced the formation of a Special Commission to End Family Homelessness made up of non-profit leaders and experts from both city and state agencies. The commission will study local family homelessness and will be tasked with developing a plan to prevent and end family homelessness in Boston. “Boston’s housing crisis has been pushing families out of our city,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “I’m

grateful to the members of this Commission and look forward to their work to prevent and end family homelessness in Boston.” In 2020, a city ordinance was passed to establish a Special Commission to End Family Homelessness. The purpose of the Special Commission is to develop an actionable and measurable plan to end family homelessness in Boston. The ordinance names members for the commission including the Mayor of Boston, the City’s Chief of Housing, the City’s Chief of Health and Human Services, the Boston Public Schools Superintendent, as well as state seats including the Governor of Massachusetts, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of the Department of Housing
and Community Development, representatives from the Boston Legislative Delegation, homeless service providers and individuals with lived experience of homelessness or housing insecurity. “Mayor Wu’s Specia l Commission is a tremendous leap forward for Boston in understanding, planning, and tackling the unique housing and support needs of homeless children and their parents,” said Larry Seamans, President of FamilyAid Boston. “As one of the city’s oldest and largest providers of housing supports for homeless families, we look forward to working with the commission to further the goal of ending family homelessness in Boston.”

Rep. Lynch Announces Funding for Women’s Substance Abuse Recovery Center
U
.S. Representative Stephen F. Lynch (M A-08) announced funding for the Gavin Foundation was included in H.R. 2714, the twelve bill government funding package that has been signed into law. This spending package for Fiscal Year 2022 provides $1,000,000 in funding to the Gavin Foundation that will be used to construct a new treatment facility for women and expand access to critical programs and resources to help those struggling with substance abuse. “I am very pleased the funding for the Gavin Foundation was included in the final appropriations bill,” said Rep. Lynch. “The Gavin Foundation has been instrumental in the fight against the drug crisis and their devotion to help those struggling with addiction continues
to save lives and mend families every day. This money will be used to reconstruct St. Gregory Parish in Dorchester into Eileen’s House, a residential center for women trying to recover from substance abuse. This new location will help expand access to a safe and supportive environment for the women in our community who need it most. I give great credit to President/CEO John McGahan for his dedicated hard work and support to help those struggling with addiction.” “We are most grateful for Congressman Stephen Lynch’s support and advocacy for Gavin Fou nd at ion’s C om mu n it y Project Funding Request for $1,000,000,” said CEO John McGahan. “This funding will be used renovate the former St. Greg’s convent into Eileen’s House, a residential recovery home for women. We
are seeing firsthand how addiction and behavioral health issues have been exacerbated by the Covid 19 pandemic. This grant award allows us to increase service capacity now when the women and community need it most. Eileen’s House will provide trauma informed; evidence based treatment in a nurturing, structured and safe environment. It will promote self-care, self-reliance and community responsibility that will lead to lasting recovery. On behalf of the residents and recovery community please know we are grateful for the support and opportunity to provide these life changing services at Eileen’s House.” This community project request was funded in the Labor-Health and Human Services bill of the appropriations package, which in full provides $1.5 trillion in discretionary resources that will help support American families, protect our national
security and strengthen public health. H.R. 2714 makes historic investments in creating jobs, funding benefits for our veterans and expanding affordable housing for seniors and persons with disabilities. It also strengthens lifesaving biomedical research through increased funding for the National Institutes of Health, invests in clean energy technology and supports underserved small businesses and entrepreneurs.

first America’s first Revolutionary victory on March 17, 1776. South Boston and the SBCA don’t forget! While the basic purpose of the
Banquet is celebrating South Boston’s key role in Evacuation Day, the most important activities at each Banquet are their Awards, which were conferred by SBCA President Tom McGrath and City Councilor-at-Large Michael Flaherty. The evening’s first 2022 Shamrock Award went to Danielle O’Brien Lydon, whose efforts in South Boston’s recovery programs are both remarkable and effective. Danielle’s dedication to helping those who suffer from addiction is well known to us all. Next, the South Boston Community Health Center was awarded the John “Doc” Tynan “Profile in Courage” Award. This Award was accepted for the Center by its Chief Nursing Officer Andrea Smith. Please note that Health Center will celebrate fifty years (Yes, 50 years!) of service to South

Boston at their anniversary event on Thursday evening, October 27 – details to follow. A second Shamrock Award was conferred upon Jackie Woods, the founder and proprietor of the L Street Tavern. Jackie, his Tavern, and the entire Woods family are well known for their non-stop services and activities on behalf of our community. Rob Fitzharris was the 2022 recipient of the Joe Moakley Award for his consistent support of South Boston causes, both personally and though his East Broadway restaurant, Roza Lyons. The SBCA then showed its sense of humor by giving Governor Charlie Baker a citation reminding him to declare Evacuation Day on March 17 a Holiday – a statewide Holiday, if necessary. After that, Mayor Michelle Wu received an award of an Irish
shillelagh to defend herself against the demonstrations and picketers she seems to attract wherever she goes these days. These were humorous awards, of course, but the ceremonies continued seriously with tributes to 2022 Parade Chief Marshal Susan McDonough and Billie J. Farrell, the newly appointed Commander of the USS Constitution. The evening closed with an award from Congressman Stephen Lynch to Bob Fowkes. Bob has performed important government work in Steve’s offices for many years and he’s the founder of Curragh’s Fancy, who performed at Awards Banquet last Friday. The 2022 SBCA Awards Banquet was a complete success; Friday evening flew by. All in all, it was an absolute joy to take part in the Banquet along with its full house of enthusiastic guests.

Some History along East Broadway by Rick Winterson
T
o say that South Boston is a truly historic neighborhood is not only accurate, but also can be proven with many specific examples. One example is Gray’s, now located at 615 East Broadway – a door down from the intersection of I Street and East Broadway. Once upon a time, this was the site of the original Gray’s Hall building where the South Boston Citizens’ Association used to meet in the late 1800s. Since then, the Association has now become the oldest ongoing community org a n i z at ion i n A mer ic a . According to the “History of South Boston”, 141 years ago on November 23, 1880, a group of community-spirited South Boston residents first met on City Point. These residents formed an association to further the interests of the neighborhood where they lived. They originally called their group the “City Point Improvement Association”, and for 13 years they met monthly on the Point. Early in 1893, this Association moved into Gray’s Hall located on East Broadway near I Street – as we mentioned above, the Gray’s Hall building was on a site that still exists. The Association then changed its name to the “South Boston Citizens’ A ssociation” (the SBC A), a

Francis J. Baxter was its first President. Perhaps the most prominent and progressive early SBCA President was the Honorable John B. Martin, who served for six years from 1894 until 1900 (Martin actually retired on January 18, 1901). The early SBCA played an active part in many South Boston improvements, such as the construction of South Boston High School, the creation of City Point’s Marine Park, and the completion of many South Boston roadways (Dorchester Avenue, L Street, the Atlantic Avenue connection, and so on). You are certainly aware of South Boston’s important historic monument on Dorchester Heights that was built in the early 1900s. According to the History of South Boston, the early SBCA was concerned with the monument and all other community matters, “excepting questions of politics, religion, and liquor licenses.” Well spoken! So let’s jump ahead to the 21st Century. Nowadays, the SBCA is similarly involved with the South Boston community on many levels. Led since 2000 by people like current SBCA
President Tommy McGrath, his wife K athleen, Michael Bare, and Bernie O’Donnell, the SBCA keeps South Boston’s Evacuation Day role (the first colonial victory) fresh and vital, with an annual rededication on Dorchester Heights. As another example, the SBCA honors key South Boston individuals each year with a variety of important civic awards at their Annual Awards Banquet – the 2022 Banquet took place on Friday, the 18th, in the Convention Center. And recently, the SBCA played a key part in obtaining a grant to upgrade Dorchester
Heights and our monument to Evacuation Day in 1776. The original Gray’s Hall building is now gone. The structure that replaced it is simply called “Gray’s” on the overhead sign. It is now a South Boston “destination” offering vintage wines and individual servings of high-quality food to its customers. It has been turned into a place to experience tastes – called “amuse-bouches” in French. So, drop into Gray’s and “ouvrez vos bouches!” What an elegant way for a historic Sout h Boston location to enter into its retirement years!

Parade Day, 2022 by Rick Winterson
I
t was a beautiful, mostly sunny, warm day for an excellent St. Patrick’s/ Evacuation Day Parade which stepped off for the first time since 2019. We simply can’t say enough good things about the 2022 Parade and the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council (hereinafter referred to by its initials – “SBAWVC”). The SBAWVC has been in charge of the Parade for more than 70 years. Commander Dave Falvey and the current membership certainly put on great event last Sunday afternoon.
Part of the Parade effort includes raising funds – Jay Fallon was in charge of the Southie Mayor’s race this year. The two Mayoral candidates, Pat Dillon and Romina Bendi, raised more than $30,000 between them; Pat won the 2022 Mayoral race by a whisker. The Parade took approximately an hour and a half to pass by (we viewed it from K and East Broadway). It contained four key parts – emergency vehicles and pipes-and-drums followed by elected officials. Susan McDonough was the 2022 Parade Chief Marshal; she led the march. Then came military units, bands and schools, and a variety
of eye-catching floats. We didn’t count the Parade participants, but there had to have been 100 or more entries. We could find no estimates of the crowd, but Broadway was packed solid. Our quick calculation of the ten-deep spectators all along the length and both sides of Broadway led to a rough figure of a half-million (500,000) or so. And as usual, there was some public drinking, but the crowd was orderly for the most part. The well-deserved cheering as the Parade went by was non-stop; even the police officers on duty were smiling. There have been a few voices
raised against the shortening of the Parade route, which this year was terminated on Farragut Road instead of proceeding up Fourth, Fifth, and the Heights, and then disbanding down in Andrew Square. Emotions about this decision were mixed, to say the least. In any case, Parade planning is the prime responsibility of the SBAWVC. And after discussing it at length last fall, they voted unanimously to bring the Parade back in steps. Last Sunday, they were simply doing their job, which included taking no chances with the safety of more than a half-million spectators.
