Happy Labor Day

abor was mentioned very early in the Bible.

In Genesis, as Adam and Eve were being expelled from Paradise for eating the Forbidden Fruit, God told them, “You shall earn your bread by the sweat of your brow … “. This sounds like a punishment, but when read carefully, it really offers human beings a path to redemption. In the New Testament, the parable of the laborers in the vineyard is an episode in Matthew’s Gospel. It reminds us that like the vineyard laborers, we are all laborers ourselves, but also human beings of equal worth.

And St. Paul’s Epistle to Timothy quotes that rhetorical but seriously ongoing question, “For is not the laborer worthy of his hire?”

In the late 1800s, that prolific essayist, Pope Leo XIII, wrote extensively about the “Dignity of Labor”. The effort a worker puts into “a good day’s work” is morally

good, he said. And that makes good common sense. Simply stated, a good day’s work earns the person who performed that labor the ability to support a family, help out a friend, and take care of him- or herself. Not bad. If that’s the result of honest labor, then it’s well-earned, in our opinion.

This may sound odd to you, but think about Communism, that most difficult 20th Century system of beliefs, for a few moments.

Communism, in its writings, described itself as being dedicated to creating a republic of and for workers. Do you recall the May Day observances in what was once the Soviet Union – the USSR? These observances had nothing to do with the Dignity of Labor or with workers. They were military parades staged in Red Square for the benefit of viewers standing on the Kremlin’s balconies. No, Continued on Page 2

Happy Labor Day Communism (the philosophy of the working man and woman) ended up ignoring the concerns of its workers, and is now essentially gone from the face of the earth. It simply did not work in the real world.

Before we get too far afield, let us give some thought to those who must work for the rest of us on Labor Day itself. Certainly, you

are aware that public safety laborers – police officers, firefighters, and emergency personnel, even lifeguards on South Boston beaches – watch out for the rest of us on Labor Day. Medical personnel – doctors, nurses, technicians, hospital staffs, and even those who clean and repair medical facilities – will be there for those of us who need them, just like on any other workday.

If you grab a quick lunch, go

out to dinner, enjoy a cold drink, or attend ticketed entertainment on Labor Day, you are benefitting from someone else’s labor – the people behind the counter, the restaurant’s waitstaff, your bartender, or a favorite performer, including athletes who play (or practice) for Boston teams on Labor Day. Be sure to thank them if you get the chance. How about doubling up on your tip for once, while wishing those

who serve you a “Happy Labor Day”?

They’ll be surprised and delighted.

And they’ll always remember your courtesy.

But that’s enough said. Relax and enjoy Labor Day next Monday yourself. Did you know that the first few Labor Days in the 1800s were celebrated on Tuesdays?

And South Boston Online will briefly repeat ourselves: RELAX! That’s what Labor Day is for.

Coffee with a Cop at Olga’s Kafe

by Rick Winterson

C

offee with a Cop bega n in Sout h Boston severa l years ago, and it always had been a popular event. The 2022 Coffee with a Cop began at 9:30 a.m. Within the first few minutes after Aliza Rodriguez had finished her preparations, the sidewalk tables at Olga’s Kitchen, along with many of the seats inside, were completely filled with enthusiastic guests. There

was a distinct “buzz” of lively neighborhood conversation.Since Coffee with a Cop is sponsored by our own BPD Station C-6, many of its members showed up. Among them were BPD C-6 Station Capt. Joe Boyle and Sgt. Jeremy Fitton, who is in charge of Community Policing at Station C-6. Other BPD officers on hand included Gino Provenzano, Ayesha Lawton, and Bob Lucas.

Kerry Ryan from the National Crime Watch took part, as did Anna White, Mayor Wu’s City

Hall liaison to South Boston.

Elected officials on hand were City Council President Ed Flynn, Rep. David Biele, and City Councilor-at-Large Erin Murphy.

Barbara Kelly from the Condon Community Center on D Street brought a dozen members of her Youth Group to Coffee with a Cop. And a lot of South Boston residents (we lost count!) stopped

by Olga’s for “a cuppa” and some conversation with the police.

Olga Markos, the Founder and Owner of Olga’s Kafe

(206 West Broadway) deserves recognition. She did a fine job as hostess of this summer’s Coffee with a Cop. The coffee and pastries that accompanied it were excellent; her skilled staff were competent and cheerful.

Olga really brought to life the words on the “Coffee with a Cop” signboard: “Join us for coffee and conversation! No agenda or speeches.

Just a chance to ask questions, voice concerns, and get to know the officers in your neighborhood.”

Please Vote Next Tuesday

S

outh Boston Online will encourage you to vote on or before Election Day next Tuesday. However, please understand right away that we are definitely not (!) endorsing any candidate or any political issue.

We are simply and emphatically asking you to vote. Who and what you vote for is entirely up to you.

Next Tuesday, September 6, is Election Day in the 2022 mid-term Primar y Elections.

Even though these Elections are Primar y mid-terms, they are conducted nationwide and are still very important. Every single one of the candidates running for campaign slots in their political parties is seeking your vote. They’ll continue to do so up to Election Day on November 8. Listen to the candidates, ask a lot of questions about the issues, and then decide how you yourself will vote.

Recently, there have been many changes to the ways in which you can vote, including early voting hours, drop boxes, absentee ballots, and votingby-mail. Of the more than four million voters registered in Massachusetts, perhaps one out of seven (15%) have used one of these changes already. Here in Massachusetts, these changes will conclude on or before Friday, September 2. So if you have not already voted by then (this writer hasn’t, either), please make it a point to go to your polling place in person this Tuesday between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Then, cast your own vote on the spot.

You have he a rd some people claim, “My vote doesn’t count. One vote doesn’t make a difference.” Well, that just isn’t true. A few years ago, a Boston Cit y Councilor’s race was decided by a single vote. It doesn’t happen often of course, but it does in fact happen. Now and then, one vote will certainly ma ke a difference, an event that simply

can’t be predicted in advance.

We have many problems that need to be resolved as soon as possible. A large number of these require input and actions from our elected of f icia ls.

The effect of global warming is one example. Taxation is another. Public transportation is a third. And there are many serious situations around the world (Uk ra ine?

Ta iwa n?) that affect us as well. So what characteristics should we look for in the ca ndidates now running for office? Certainly, we want smart elected officials, who can explain themselves clearly and then take action to resolve political issues. But we’ll suggest to you that the most important political quality is ”leadership”. And it’s up to

you to vote for the candidates who best answer your question, “Ca n he or she lead us?”

As a citizen, a ta xpayer, and an A merican, you have the privilege of selecting and electing the political leaders who can make our city, state, and nation stronger and better. But we would be remiss if we didn’t remind you that the privilege

of voting is also your solemn obligation. Not only are you obliged to vote for the candidates of your choice, you are also obliged to vote for the benefit of your city, state and nation.

So if you haven’t voted a l re ady, ple a se vote ne x t Tuesday. It’s very important.

Extremely important.

Voices of Healthcare

Emily Hames

By Carol Masshardt

A

s a high school student in Na rra ga nset, R.I. Emily Hames, LICSW, the Director of Behavioral Health and Social Services at the South Boston Health Center, knew she wanted to be a social worker. “I had an experience with a social worker leading a group, and instead of feeling in trouble, it was amazing,” she said.

And thus, she began a professional life rich with opportunities to work with people at their most trying times.

“I knew Social Work would allow me to do so much to help people,” she said, and wasting no time she earned an undergraduate degree at Wheelock College. She then worked in settings, one as interesting as the next as she describes it, at Head Start, and a residential program for teens, and eventually on to earn an MSW degree at Salem State.

With fierce dedication, optimism, and flexibility, she did not shy away from the tough jobs of in-patient mental health, or substance abuse, or severe mental illness, and in fact, can quickly convey the value she places on all human experience.

Working at Boston Medical Center she was offered a job working as a school-based clinician in South Boston and with the Collaborative that serves Old Colony youth. “I didn’t know anything about South Boston, but thought why not give it a try,” she said, and the love affair began. “The kids went on a farm program,” and

Happy Labor Day to all the working families that help build our City and Country”

Boston City Councilor President Ed Flynn and Family

wisely, this social worker was part of the team, and observed how the kids learned something new about food and themselves. “I loved it,” she said. Yet, new challenges beckoned as she went to BMC to work with adults, and eventually that led to a job at the SBNHC. Integrative health, joining the physical/medical with mental health and real-life issues, is a model now broadly adapted and one Emily Hames understands and embraces intrinsically. When she began at SBNHC there was one clinician and now there are 12, and where some would shutter at the unpredictable challenges, she sees it as exactly the time to help.

“We have millionaires and people living in shelters and we work as a team, and that is what helps us do the best work, and the patients feel most supported,” she stated.

Expecting to hear about dire responses to COVID, Emily Hames had a realistic but different perspective. “I learned about resilience, both of us as staff, and our clients. We stayed open throughout, but also went to telehealth and reached out in every way possible, “she said. “This was only possible because of the leadership of Bill (Halpin, CEO) and Nisha (Thakrar, Chief Medical Director). “Their professional dedication and empathy for the staff, including personal letters and open doors,” sustained the energy of those working with clients who

dealt with depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and a host of other issues including basic needs.

Emily Hames isn’t stopping.

She completed a leadership course through the Mass. League of Community Health Centers and has deepened still further her belief in the kind of work done every day at the health center.

“The silver lining to COVID, and it was a real challenge, was the opening of conversations, and seeing that we are really so much more alike than different in our fears, and strengths.” For example, “Instead of judging how people were responding to the vaccine and other pandemic related issues, lets just give people the floor, and hear what they have to say,” she said.

Those who always lived in fear, she pointed out, became so much easier to relate to as we too experienced the terror of unknown perils.

With skill to work with multigenerational substance use, domestic violence, and stress in all forms, her ability to see how we are all connected is refreshing and effective even in these most trying days. “I use every skill every day,” she said, “and when discussions are open, as they have in COVID, we get even better at what we do because opening the conversation is a way in.” Emily Hames didn’t know exactly where her journey would go as a teenager, but in retrospect the path that led her to the South Boston Community Health Center seems destined.

Backpack Project Benefitted Nearly 100 children Massport Helps Prepare Students for Back-to-School

E

mployees at the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) joined together this year to help prepare students in neighboring communities for the upcoming school year. Ninety-six students from local organizations in East Boston, South Boston and Winthrop were gifted with new backpacks, school supplies and clothes donated

by Massport employees through their annual Backpack Project.

“Back-to-school costs can be a burden on a lot of families and through the Backpack Project, we are able to make the process of returning to the classroom less stressful and more enjoyable,” said Massport Director of Community Relations & Government Affairs Alaina Coppola. “We are grateful to our employees who are always willing to lend a hand to our neighbors in need. Seeing the joy on the students’ faces when they receive these backpacks is an unmatched feeling, and we wish them the best in the school year ahead.”

Audrey Nagle, Manager of Charitable Giving, Massport; Tommy Butler, Deputy Director of State Affairs & Community Relations, Massport; and Kathy Lafferty, Executive Director, South Boston Neighborhood House with South Boston Neighborhood House staff and program participants.

Participating organizations this year included Crossroads Family Center in East Boston, Condon Community Center in South Boston, East Boston YMCA, Sout h Boston Neighborhood Ce nt u r y Hou se a nd 21 s t Afterschool Program in Winthrop.

“South Boston Neighborhood House is grateful to have a partner like Massport,” said Sout h Boston Neighborhood House Executive Director Kathy Lafferty. “Through this program we are able to send our children back to school with the supplies

they’ll need to learn and succeed.”

This year, over 125 Massport employees participated in the Backpack Project by sponsoring children between the ages of 4 and 17, individually or as a group, and providing them with school supplies and a new outfit for the school year.

Moving Season on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. It’s a little more gradual this year.”

Historically, the Sept. 1 cycle was put in place in areas of the city where college students predominantly lived (think Allston-Brighton) and the rest of Boston gradually went that route about 25 years ago, said Rooney.

“Probably two-thirds of all leases are done on Sept. 1,” he said. “That puts a lot of pressure on our processes and logistics.

The pressure is also on for landlords, who have to clean multiple units in between renters, and tenants, who have to find moving companies, many of which take advantage of this time of year with exorbitant prices.

There were tenants who moved out yesterday because their new apartments were not ready.

But those moving out of South Boston were able to leave earlier, allowing real estate brokers and landlords more time to clean.

“This year was a little bit better … we started cleaning apartments on Monday,” Rooney said. “We had more done [Tuesday]. So,

yeah, it was a little more gradual.”

South Boston is not a haven for college students because of the high rents. The majority of new tenants here are one, two, three, four years out of college.

Costs have skyrocketed in all urban areas, Rooney said, noting his research shows the following median rents in Southie in 2022: One-bedroom: $2,600 (up 13 percent over last year) Two-bedroom: $3,500 (up 17 percent) Three-bedroom: $4,350 (up 9

percent) Four-plus-bedroom: $5,200 (up 4 percent) “We do a fair share of four-, four-plus-bedroom renta ls,” Rooney said, which allows roommates to divide the costs.

“South Boston is the place to be,” Rooney added, noting per capita, Boston is the youngest city in America.

People flock here for the bars, the restaurants, and the beaches.

But the average stay for renters in South Boston is about two years, Rooney said.

Advice For renters: If you can move out early, do it. If you can move in later than Sept. 1, do it. That may save them a lot of money on movers.

For landlords: Stay on top of maintenance issues over the year so you’re not doing it in three to four hours before the next renter.

And for the locals? Stay off the smaller streets during moveout and move-in, be careful around the trash piles, and prepare for lines at local establishments.

Reprieve or not, Rooney added, “for the locals who live here and have to deal with it, it’s a tough week.”

Racky’s Coming to South Boston

by Rick Winterson We were fortunate to have a brief interview with Racky Thomas Thursday evening, during the intermission in his outdoor “Summer in the City” Concert at Boston Harbor Hotel on Rowes Wharf. We have written about Racky before (see page seven of our August 11 issue). He’s the founder and leader of an excellent Blues Band, which has performed at “Summer in the City” twice this summer. Racky informed us that he is coming to South Boston to take a position at Lulu-Green, the popular coffee and veggie/vegan establishment at 246-248 West Broadway. He will assume management responsibilities there in September, soon after Labor Day. He brings with him several years of useful experience at organizations such as Starbuck’s.

A Second Street Walk

by Rick Winterson

W

alking is known to be beneficial.

After all, we human beings are half legs. And walking is good exercise; it’s a gentle exercise that benefits essentially your entire body. In addition, South Boston is a great place to walk in and all around. We live in a prime walking neighborhood that’s a part of the famously wellknown “walking city” of Boston.

Join us for a walk along West and East Second Street. Why Second Street? Because it’s a South Boston street that combines attractive sights along with shady, quiet intervals. In its own small, quiet way, Second Street is scenic and the entire length of Second Street is exactly two miles long. Briskly walked, it takes less than an hour to

travel from end to end. But set your own pace – pause to look around or stop for a coffee. Two miles amounts to 4,000 steps – a good (but gentle) workout.

Step onto West Second Street where it begins at Dorchester Avenue, next to the Cambria Hotel at 6 West Broadway, across from the Kelly Bridge. Note the very modern architecture of the new apartment buildings located there. West Third Street and Second are combined until Third branches off; stay left on West Second. Take a good look at the expanded Artists for Humanity building at the edge of Fort Point on A Street, just before the bridge over the Haul Road.

It serves 400 young artists in Boston.

On the other side of the bridge, you’ll find cool, quiet, shaded sidewalks for about a quarter mile. You’ll catch views of the Boston skyline. You can detour into the Brian Mahoney Park, named for a local resident who brought B Street’s Revolutionary War history

HAPPY LABOR DAY! Every Labor Day, we recognize the achievements and contributions of the hardworking men and women who have built our country, our state, and our city.

Thank you and Happy Labor Day State Representative David Biele

back to life. Businesses and offices mix with new and skillfully refurbished condos and apartments. On the corner of D Street, a new takeout/ delivery service is about to open.

Watch out when your walk arrives at Dorchester Street. Across from this spot, West Second ends, Emerson Street begins, and you’ll have to turn left for one block to get onto East Second. East Second begins at a charming intersection that displays a trompe l’oeil mural on a brick wall across from Publico. It then proceeds past a 200-foot brick wall towards The Distillery, another one of South Boston’s many art colonies.

You’ll also pass the back entrance to My Diner if you need some refreshment.

As you cross H Street and East Second, leaving this mini-neighborhood behind, you’ll see two colorful, abstract murals labeled “@mconroyart” on a couple of parking garage walls.

Look for an eye-catching American flag, accurately made (13 stripes, 50 stars) from wooden fence stakes. After that comes busy L Street where it turns into Summer Street, with the Power Plant project underway. This is followed by

Christopher Lee Playground between M and N Streets, and you’ll cut across, past stands and stairs into M Street/Medal of Honor Park. After the walkway through the playground, you enter the final three blocks of East Second at N Street. Along this stretch from N to P, East Second Street boasts charming brick dwellings and well-cared-for sidewalk plantings.

East Second Street ends near the Conley Terminal entrance. The final address on Second Street is at #933; it terminates on Farragut Road in Hubicsak Square. Look across Farragut – you’ll see planes landing at Logan as they come in over Pleasure Bay, Evans Field, and the Murphy Rink. From the end of East Second, you can continue your walk to Castle Island or South Boston’s beaches. Stop in at the Galley Diner or walk back to My Diner to get lunch. If you feel you’ve walked enough, go to P and East Broadway and you can hop on the #9 bus to Broadway Station or the #10 bus to Andrew Square.

And be sure to pat yourself on the back after your walk along the full, two-mile length of Second Street has been completed.
