America Needs to Remain Strong Remember, Remember, Remember As we reflect on 9/11, we must remember that a weak America only spells trouble for us and an already troubled world.

BY KEVIN DEVLIN

Today is the anniversary of 9/11, a day etched in our minds forever. As former President George W. Bush said in response to thwart future terrorist attacks and bring those responsible to justice, “We will not tire. We will not falter. And we will not fail.”

Since the beginning of the last century, America has led the way against aggression. In World War I, our late entry into the so-called “War to end all wars” helped turn the tide against Imperialist Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In World War II, our industrial and military might was instrumental in defeating Imperialist Japan and Nazi Germany.

Our mission to defend the rights of people against totalitarian governments, either secular or theocratic in nature, has made this safer, better world. Today the world is a troubled place and a weak-

ened America will only make things even worse. Now we face another threat from godless men who behead innocent people in the name of their God. These extremists don’t truly represent the true tenets of Islam. They grossly distort it.

And they dishonor God. As we move forward the hopes of the free world rests upon the shoulders of America. Without our resolve, without our determination to fight evil and defend freedom, this world will become a darker place.

We must remain strong to fight aggression, to stop terrorism.

We must always remember 9/11.

We must not tire or falter.

Because if we do fail, Freedom will die as surely as the sun rises every morning and Evil will eventually reign supreme.

1st Time Homebuyers Seminar

This coming Sunday, we have much to remember. It is the 33rd Anniversary of South Boston’s Vietnam Memorial. The first in the nation, it memorializes the 25 young South Boston men who gave their lives – the highest number killed in action in any community of our size in America. Make it a point to spend a couple of hours remembering with us – a 10:30 Memorial Mass at St. Brigid Church, followed by a memorial observance at the Vietnam Memorial in Medal of Honor Park (M and East Broadway) at 11:30. For we have much to remember since the end of the Vietnam War 40 years ago. Just think of 9-11 in 2001, an even 13 years ago as you are reading this. Time has passed. Do you remember that tragic Tuesday at the beginning of this century? On August 5 this year, we lost Major General Harold J. Greene, USA, who was shot by a terrorist in Afghanistan. He was the highest ranking officer killed in action since the deaths of Lt. Gen. Timothy Maude, USA, on 9-11 and Rear Admiral Rembrandt Robinson, USN, in Vietnam. Their heroic threads intertwine.

Gen. Greene spoke at our 2010 Vietnam Memorial observance. Were you there?

Where is the Moral Outrage Over Persecution of Iraqi Christians?

I watched President Barak Obama on the Meet the Press national TV program. Not one word about the genocide of Catholics by Islamic terrorists. How can he not address this atrocity taking place in the Middle East?

By Raymond Flynn former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican and Mayor of Boston

Are American politicians afraid to speak out against the persecution of Catholics in Iraq and the Middle East? Sure looks that way. Maybe President Obama will talk about this “genocide” in his address to the Nation on Wednesday night.

That’s what I said on Sunday at the Braintree, Massachusetts Disabled American Veterans Post.

The DAV event was a memorial and dedication to former Ladies Auxiliary DAV national Junior vice commander Ellen Marie Kirby Drogo. Her husband former DAV National Commander and Navy Seal Frank Drogo, whose deceased wife was being honored by the historic Town of Braintree. Frank Drogo said, “military service to our country has always been a major part of the Drogo and Kirby family DNA. We love and believe in what our country stands for.”

Mayor Joseph Sullivan called Ellen Drogo one of Braintree’s greatest friends the people of our community have ever had. It’s people like Ellen and Frank who

make this town special. They were never afraid to speak out.”

Many National Veteran leaders and local political leaders were on hand for the special commemoration.

State Representative Mark Cusack said, “we are a community who believe in each other and our country.”

Former National Vice Commander of the Ladies Auxiliary Mrs. Frances Costa told everyone how Ellen was always looking out for veterans families.

Always there to help while their loved ones were serving abroad and when returning home from war. We were especially moved to hear Fran tell the story about when her granddaughter Nikki Marie Costa was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and her life expectancy was just 7 years. But through the dedicated efforts of Ellen Drogo, who contacted me when I was U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican, and I immediately asked Pope John Paul II if he

would pray for her and communicate his personal blessings for Nicki Marie Costa of Pepperell, who was suffering with Cerebral Palsy, and wasn’t expected to live to be more than 7 years of age.

But remarkably, this beautiful child is now a healthy 20 year old young lady. I told the gathering that when my first cousin asks you to do something, you do it. She did many quiet things to help veterans and their families.

But an equally significant conversation was when another highly decorated Korean War veteran said to me, “Ambassador, it was great to hear the priest at the memorial Mass at St. Clare’s say today that next week a special collection will be taken up at all the churches to help all the persecuted Catholics in Iraq and the Middle East.” “Yes,” I replied, “they are being tortured and killed because of their Catholic faith, while the U.S. Government, the International com-

munity and the national media remains silent. This is not what you veterans fought and many died for. Where is the moral outrage?”

Earlier Sunday morning, I watched President Barak Obama on the Meet the Press national TV program. Not one word about the genocide of Catholics

by Islamic terrorists. How can he not address this atrocity taking place in the Middle East? The President said he would address the Nation on Wednesday on national TV. I have written to him and our nation’s political leaders, but unfortunately I have not received a response. If enough American’s call the White House and members of Congress now, I am convinced that he will speak out on this critical issue. We can also pray that he does.

I would urge all Americans to immediately contact their elected officials and ask them to get involved in this “American shame.” How much longer and will it be for Americans to speak out. If our political leaders are not with us, they simply don’t understand the cherished fundamental values which America has always stood for. Defending and promoting fundamental human rights for all people.

Ellen Kirby Drogo and so many other heroes of the past would be on the phone fighting for people who are being persecuted for their religious faith in Iraq. This is genocide, and history will judge all leaders harshly for their silence and indecisive action.

SB/City Point Resident Parking Seven Day Program

At the request of South Boston’s elected officials, the Boston Transportation Department will be implementing a 90 day pilot program in the City Point section of South Boston effective Friday, September 12, 2014. In accordance with the new program, the parking restrictions that are associated with the area’s Resident Parking Program will be increased from four nights a week to seven. The pilot program is intended to increase on-street parking availability for neighborhood residents.

District Two City Councilor Bill Linehan who has proposed the new regulations said, “This is a concrete step to address one of the biggest issues impacting my constituents, a lack of parking for residents. In addition to the Resident Parking Program expansion, I am continuing to work with the Boston Transportation Department on other measures. We are exploring the possibility of angled parking and 50 new resident parking spaces were just recently identified in South Boston.”

The Resident Parking Program is in effect on residential streets throughout the South Boston neighborhood. On the vast majority of these streets, the Resident

Parking Only restrictions are currently in effect from 6 PM to 10 AM, beginning on Mondays at 6 PM and ending on Fridays at 10 AM. In accordance with the pilot program, these restrictions will change to 6 PM to 10 AM every night in the area bordered as follows: • Farragut Road, both sides, between East First and Columbia Road • East First Street, both sides, between L Street and Farragut Road • L Street, both sides, between East First and Columbia Road • Columbia Road, both sides, between L Street and Farragut Road.

Vehicles without a South Boston Resident Parking Permit will be allowed to park in spaces designated for Visitor Parking for a maximum of two hours from 6 PM to 10 AM daily.

Currently, there are over 18,200 active South Boston Resident Parking Permits.

These permits are required for vehicles to be parked in on-street parking spaces designated for South Boston Resident Parking Only. To receive a South Boston Resident Parking Permit the vehicle must be registered and principally garaged to a South Boston address. The vehicle registration and a current utility bill, major credit card bill, or other proof of residency, bearing the same name and address as on the registration, must be presented at the Office of the Parking Clerk, Room 224 in Boston City Hall when applying for the permit. All overdue City of Boston parking tickets must be paid before a permit will be issued. For complete program information, please visit www.cityofboston.gov/ Parking/residentparking/students.asp.

South Boston Health Center’s Youth Ambassadors

Mass Bay Contributes

3611 CAPTION:

South Boston Community Health Center’s Youth Ambassadors and their adult mentors enjoyed a fun day at Canobie Lake Park after a busy and productive summer working at South Boston Grows Community Gardens where they planted and harvested more than 2000 pounds of produce that was donated to South Boston food pantries. Joining the group was Joe Curran who provided transportation for the trip courtesy of the Area C-6 Police Department.

John Thomas (right), President and CEO of South Boston’s Mass Bay Credit Union, presented a check for $1,000 last Thursday afternoon to Medicine Wheel Productions. Receiving this check from John is Michael Dowling, Founder and Artistic Director of Medicine Wheel.

In making this contribution, Mass Bay is recognizing the roles that Medicine Wheel plays in the South Boston community, including art as means of reorienting young adults, diversity observances like “Dance the Dream”, and creation of No Man’s Land behind the High School, which will soon become an official Boston park with direct access to the Dorchester Heights National Park.

In an added piece of good news, CEO John Thomas told South Boston Online that the Federal Home Loan Authority approached him and offered to match Mass Bay’s contribution, meaning that Medicine Wheel will now receive a total of $2,000.

City of Boston Credit Union Honors First Responders

During the month of September City of Boston Credit Union will be recognizing the commitment and sacrifice of first responders. The Credit Union is asking the community to join them by displaying specially designed commemorative decals in their car windows.

City of Boston Credit Union is proud to share these decals with the community, so together we can express our deepest appre-

ciation to first responders for the sacrifices they make for us everyday,” says Credit Union CEO, Dan Trombley.

The Credit Union invites anyone that would like a complimentary decal to stop by one of their branches located in Boston City Hall, 1010 Morrissey Boulevard, Dorchester or 77 Spring Street, West Roxbury.

Requests can also be made to have a decal sent via mail by contacting Karla McCarron at kmccarron@cityofbostoncu. com.

Southie’s Hidden Gem Joseph M. Tierney Learning Center hosts a variety of programs for all residents.

BY KEVIN DEVLIN

The Joseph M. Tierney Learning Center, which is located at 125 Mercer Street, was built, in partnership with the Boston Housing Authority, during the first phase of the redevelopment of the Old Colony Development.

The Tierney Learning Center is managed by Beacon Communities and uses existing local service provider agencies to offer a variety of programs for community members in hopes of promoting educational experiences.

From children’s playgroup programs to senior Yoga, from English tutoring to adult introductory computer classes, from healthy living to literacy programs, the Tierney Center’s mission is to provide for the needs of the community as a whole.

Kristin Taylor, the Director of the Tierney Learning Center, is excited about being part of this worthy endeavor. The information listed below was providedverbatim-by her to SBOL. “From early childhood programming to community-building initiatives, the Tierney Learning Center is grounded in programming that relies on a multigenerational approach to service delivery. Academic success is a true priority for our programs, and the site is home to several ABCD Head Start classrooms, a thriving Technology Center, and a future college classroom through Endicott College and the Jeremiah Program.

In addition to Head Start, the Laboure Center has built a successful Childhood Literacy Project within the Tierney Center, offering enrichment activities to families with children ages 0-5.

These opportunities range from Story Hours with the Boston Public Library, to interactive and engaging family playgroups, to Infant Massage classes and Parent Cafes with the South Boston Neighborhood House.

A relationship with the South

The Joseph M. Tierney Learning Center Staff: Director Kristin Taylor, Administrative Assistant Lauretta Brennan, Program Coordinators Jose Sotz and Milly Pena, Susan Lenardis, peer job counselor, and Idalia Grant, parent partner/Laboure Childhood Literacy Project.

Boston Neighborhood Health Center will bring a WIC satellite site to the Center in 2015, which also highlights wellness programs being run by resident Community Health Workers through the ‘With Every Heartbeat is Life’ program.

A significant focus is placed on school-age youth programs. In collaboration with the South Boston Boys and Girls Club, we provided a memorable day camp experience to over 100 youth this past summer, and will continue to serve over one hundred children a day in afterschool programming at the Tierney Center. Other components to the afterschool atmosphere include a therapeutic sports program led by Doc Wayne Youth Services, expressive art classes with Medicine Wheel Productions and the 4th Presbyterian Church, an Old Colony girl scouts troop, mentoring opportunities with the DREAM program and Big Sisters, and many special events coordinated by Tierney staff and other supportive organizations. October will bring Family Creative Learning with MIT to the Technology Center, and future projects with Hip Hop Loves, One Hen, Inc., and Engineering Adventures on the horizon!

October will certainly be an exciting month at the Tierney Center, as the Building Pathways classroom returns and college courses begin! Evening ESOL classes and language exchanges with AES World Cul-

ture and Language Institute will begin a third cycle, and another session of the Tech Goes Home program is gearing up! Open access to computers with professional assistance for adults and teenagers is available daily, and Tierney team members have a variety of referral sources for recovery programs, counseling, and wellness programming in the community. Also, be sure to mark BINGO Wednesdays and senior coffee hours on your calendar!

The Tierney Center also works closely with the Old Colony Task Force, has representation with the South Boston Trauma Response Team and SBANP, and utilizes a knowledgeable and skilled Community Advisory Board to gain ideas and evaluate efforts in addressing community needs. Be sure to stop in to learn about community events and programming and to receive more information on daily programs!”

Director Taylor’s Administrative

Assistant, Lauretta Brennan, a lifelong South Boston resident, is equally excited about their Center’s mission.

“It’s South Boston’s hidden gem,” she said, proudly. “The services are for all residents and we welcome everyone to take advantage of them.”

So, if you have any questions, call her at 617-850-9157.

Here’s a list of some of their programs: Yoga for Seniors. This is a five week series to address some of the physical and mental problems of aging, including stiffness, loss of balance and anxiety.

A Fantastic Summer Weekend On Thursday evening, August 28, Medicine Wheel Productions held its Second Annual Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, perhaps the bellwether oration of the 20th Century. This event was called “Dance the Dream”; it marked the 51st Anniversary of King’s speech.

Inside the Strand, Kairos Dance performed an original dance sequence called “Battle”, supported by Medicine Wheel members.

Shane Hampton of Medicine Wheel soloed. At the end of the performance, everyone climbed

onstage for an impromptu danceoff.

The Lawn On D is a new park/ open space/green area on the east side of the Convention Center that officially opened on Friday, August 15 (see South Boston Online, August 21, page twelve).

Did you get to the fireworks on Saturday evening? The South Boston Waterfront is indeed a beautiful body of water, but it was never more beautiful than when it was reflecting the fireworks overhead. Maybe you went on a tour of Fort Independence on

Castle Island. Or perhaps you caught an excellent performance of “Macbeth” by the Brown Box Theatre Project. Brown Box is a theater company that uses the Still Harbor property on Dorchester Avenue in South Boston as its summer home.

Labor Day 2014 was a fabulous, fantastic weekend. We certainly hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Meet Jadlynn and Suzelle Young girls enjoying the Club’s temporary home at the Joseph M. Tierney Learning Center.

BY KEVIN DEVLIN

The summer’s over but the construction at the South Boston Boys and Girls Club is ongoing.

In the meantime, the Club Kids will be enjoying their temporary home at the Joseph M. Tierney Learning Center. And two of these young Club Kids are Jadlynn Rivera and Suzelle Richard.

Jadlynn Rivera, 9, is the daughter of Lydia Vasquez and Hector Rivera. She also has a stepdad named “G” Casanova. She has a brother named Amani and two sisters, Emilany and Cassie.

She is in the third grade at the Condon Elementary School which is located in South Boston. Her favorite subjects

are swimming class, art, and music. Someday, she’d like to be either a fashion designer of a ballet dancer.

Jadlynn’s favorite colors are gold and pink, and her favorite food is Domino’s pizzas. In her spare time, she enjoys playing soccer with her friends. She likes playing various games on PlayStation and talking endlessly her phone. She also loves playing in Moakley Park and spending

time with her family.

Jadlynn enjoys reading. She just finished reading “The 100TH Greatest Day of School” written

by Michelle Poploff. She’s also a Jeff Kinney fan, the author of the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. She’s already read “Dog Days”, “Ugly Truth”, and “Roderick Rules.”

If Jadlynn was the President of the United States, she would, “…Try to stop the violence by talking with bad people so they’ll change their minds and become good people.”

Suzelle Richard, 10, is the daughter of Guilene Paul and

Jerry Richard. She has two sisters, Medgey and Beatrice, and a brother named Woojerry. She’s in the fifth grade at the Mildred Avenue Middle School which is located in Mattapan. Her favorite subject is math and someday she’s hopes to be a lawyer.

Suzelle’s favorite color is aqua marine and her favorite food is rice, beans, and fried bananas, Haitian style. In her leisure time, she enjoys playing house with her mother and sisters. On the weekends, the family goes to different restaurants and “have fun and eat a lot.” She also likes soccer, volleyball, badminton, and playing Double Dutch jump rope. Suzelle’s a Jeff Kinney fan like her Club friend, and the last book she read in his well-known Wimpy Kid series, was “Hard Luck.”

If she was our chief executive in Washington, Suzelle would, “… have more education in other countries, try to end violence, stop bullying, end people being racists, and ask everyone to be nice to each other.”

Massport Awards Annual Thomas J. Butler Memorial Scholarship South Boston Graduate Receives $5,000 Award

The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) announced the recipient of the annual scholarship honoring the memory of Tommy Butler, the longtime Massport Director of Government and Community Affairs and son of South Boston. The $5,000 Thomas J. Butler Memorial Scholarship was awarded to South Boston resident Stephen Powers.

The Thomas J. Butler Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to a student who resides in South Boston, is graduating from high school and has been accepted to an accredited college or university. Powers is a graduate of the Boston Latin School, volunteers his time with South Boston Pop Warner as an Assistant Coach and is currently employed at the South Boston Boys & Girls Club. He will be attending UMass Amherst and is interested in political science. In his essay, Powers said he sees “political science heavily tying into community work and service because if you

believe in something that you want to fight for on a political scale, you need to completely understand it, and immerse yourself in the situations of others.”

“Stephen is an outstanding young man who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the South Boston community by dedicating his time to South Boston Pop Warner and the South Boston Boys & Girls Club,” said Congressman Stephen Lynch. “He is a worthy recipient of this special scholarship that honors

our dear friend and community leader Tommy Butler. I congratulate Stephen on this exciting achievement.”

Butler was the former mayor of the South Boston Boys Club, Youth Counselor and then Director of Little City Hall in Charlestown and former president of the South Boston Citizens Association and member of the South Boston Irish American Society. When he arrived at Massport in 1987 as a manager of intergovernmental relations, he was a licensed

social worker who had worked in the Boston Juvenile Court, and for the City of Boston.

“We are very pleased to award Stephen with the Thomas J. Butler Scholarship.

He has shown a commitment to following in Tommy’s footsteps with his community service and we wish him the best of luck. His commitment to his community as a volunteer coach and a mentor epitomizes what we were looking for when we established the scholarship in memory of our friend and colleague Tommy Butler,” said Massport CEO Thomas P. Glynn.

To be considered for the Thomas J. Butler Scholarship, students are required to have a minimum 3.0 grade point average and submit an essay of 1,000 words describing their career interests or how their community service has affected their outlook on life. Scholarship essays are judged by a committee made up of Massport employees and a representative of the Butler family. Students interested in applying for the 2015 scholarship should visit www.massport.com/scholarships for eligibility requirements.

Ribbon Cutting at the Collaborative It took several months, but the South Boston Collaborative Center now occupies the space once devoted to the Washington Village Branch Library at 1226A Columbia Road in Old Colony. The ribbon-cutting for the Collaborative’s new quarters took place last Saturday afternoon, September 6.

by Rick Winterson

The South Boston Collaborative Center has been existence since 1997, a total of 17 years.

It was formed to combat an epidemic of drug overdoses and teenage suicides that plagued South Boston in the mid-1990s.

It was originally located in Old Colony on the ground floor of 8 Reverend Burke Street.

The South Boston Collaborative Center has become part of the fabric of our neighborhood, as evidenced by the fact that everyone refers to it simply as “The Collaborative”. The Collaborative’s mission is to pro-

Collaborative Program Director Andy Ward, Mayor Marty Walsh, and other officials look on as the Old Colony kids well and truly cut the blue ribbon, opening the Collaborative’s new quarters

vide substance abuse treatment and prevention services to members the South Boston community, regardless of their status or ability to pay. It is part of the Boston Public Health Commission; it is affiliated with the Boston Medical Center.

Organizations change and grow. The Collaborative is no

exception. Last Saturday afternoon, September 6, the Collaborative officially moved into new quarters. It took over the space that had once been occupied by the Washington Village Branch Library at 1226A Columbia Road prior to the Tierney Learning Center’s coming onstream.

It’s still within the Old Colony

Housing Development.

A formal ribbon cutting marked the Collaborative’s relocation, which was attended by a number of our elected and appointed officials. At 4 p.m., Boston Housing Authority (BHA) Administrator Bill McGonagle opened the ceremony as its emcee, thanking Michael Kineavy for his support over the years and introducing Andy Ward, who is the Collaborative’s Program Director. Andy reminisced about the Collaborative’s earlier years; he expressed his gratitude to Darlene Sheehan and to Jack Leary as exemplars of what can be done within a community to solve its substance abuse problems.

He also thanked Joe Nee, Anthony Gilardi, Northern Construction, the Building Construction Trades Council, numerous elected officials, and the Collaborative’s Board and its staff. continued on page 13

The Collaborative Center’s Program Director Andy Ward recognizes benefactors and thanks those who played key roles in the new quarters for the South Boston Collaborative Center.

WWW.SOUTHBOSTONONLINE.COM continued from page 12 – “Our doors are open. Thank you.”

Referring to the new quarters, Sen. Nick Collins congratulated everyone on “a great day”.

Clerk of Court (Civil) Michael Donovan, Boston’s longest serving elected official, expressed his enthusiasm for the Collaborative’s mission, and how the new facility will improve upon what they accomplish. Brian Doherty, the President of the Building Construction Trades Council, thanked Lydia Agro of the BHA and his Council’s volunteers. The President of the Old Colony Task Force, Phyllis Corbitt, added her thanks as well.

Mayor of Boston Marty Walsh

was the informal keynoter, as it were. He spoke early in the program, and mentioned that the Collaborative is now a line item in the City of Boston’s budget, thus enabling much better planning and reducing the need for short-term fundraising.

He briefly mentioned the Collaborative’s history and the people who have served it.

And then the ribbon cutting took place. A large group formed up around the Mayor, along the Columbia Road sidewalk in front of the newly relocated Collaborative Center.

Youngsters from Old Colony gathered at the length of blue ribbon, and then well and truly cut it in two.

It was a joyful and fulfilling occasion.
