omorrow morning, September 11, 2020, is the 19th Anniversary of 9-11, the horrendous attack on New York City and Washington, D.C., by a splinter group of terrorists, who swore allegiance to radical Islamist extremism and who called themselves al-Qaeda (from al-Qaida, the “Foundation”). Nineteen of these terrorists attacked the United States of America on Tuesday morning, September 11,

2001. It was the worst enemy attack to ever take place on American soil. We must not forget. Al-Qaeda was founded and led 32 years ago in 1988 by Osama bin Laden. He also provided its initial funding. The first members of al-Qaeda were originally guerilla fighters against soldiers from the Soviet Union, after the Soviets had invaded and occupied Afghanistan. Years before 9-11, al-Qaeda had already engaged in numerous terrorist acts, in particular against the United States, such as bombing two Continued on Page 2

Remember 911 of our embassies in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania) in 1998 and training the terrorists who planted bombs inside New York City’s Twin Towers in 1993. As you know, Al-Qaeda’s 9-11 terrorist attacks began with four simultaneous airplane hijackings. Two of them were from here at Logan, which then flew to New York City and crashed into the Twin Towers. The third plane was hijacked from Dulles, and was then flown into the Pentagon. This caused 2,977 deaths, mostly civilians and most of them inside New York City’s World Trade Center, a.k.a. “The Twin Towers”. Collateral damage included more than 25,000 injuries and an estimated 10 billion dollars ($10,000,000,000) in property destruction, most notably the sickening collapse of the 110-story Twin Towers two hours later. The al-Qaeda hijackers in the fourth plane, which originated in Newark, were courageously overcome by the passengers after takeoff (“Let’s roll!”). It ultimately crashed in rural Pennsylvania. No one survived. Some claim that 9-11 was the most destructive terrorist incident that has ever happened. South Boston Online will leave the accuracy of that statement
B
to historians. We’ll only state that we must never forget that 9-11 really took place – it was against us; it was “for real”! And we overcame that very real setback. Looking back, it’s clear that the first two decades of this 21st Century have not been very kind to us. We have been in a constant, 20-year state of warfare in the Middle East. We have suffered three economic downturns (’01, ’08, and now). And worst of all, we have been afflicted in 2020 with a mindless virus that has caused nearly 200,000 deaths in the U.S. and more than six million (6,000,000) cases of COVID-19. We aren’t sure what conclusions to draw from all this misfortune, except to emphatically state that we must work our way out of it. We can only suggest that we must put aside mere words like those current favorites, “robust” and “resilient”. Instead, during this Labor Day week, we must resolve to be quietly tough, strong, and hard-working, if not for ourselves, then at least for our children. Without doubt, we must obey the rules and make the necessary sacrifices – this won’t be “fun”. But perhaps 16 months from now, maybe – just maybe –we’ll be able to look back from the end of 2021, and say to ourselves, “We did what we had to do!” And it worked! And that’s up to us – every single one of us.
SB Community Health Center Feeds Hundreds of Families The South Boston Community Health Center has been passionate about their hunger relief efforts. At the Health Center, their food pantry feeds hundreds of South Boston’s families every month. They have had a significant increase in requests for food since the COVID19 crisis began. If you are able to help during Hunger Action month, the Health Center will welcome your support: please donate through https://www.sbchc.org/giving to keep their pantry stocked. The Health Center’s food pantry is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and serves approximately 100 families every week. Due to the pandemic and Social Distancing, the pantry is now operated as an “outside pick-up” system. Most of the Health Center’s food comes from the great folks at the Greater Boston Food Bank. They also order food through Peapod and have fresh meat delivered by the Health Center’s friends at D&N Provisions.
Councilor Ed Flynn to Hold Hearing to Discuss Electoral Recount Process in the City of Boston
oston City Councilor Ed Flynn will be having a hearing on the city’s electoral recount process this Thursday, September 10th, at 10am. The hearing will be chaired by Councilor Julia Mejia, Chair of the Committee on Civil Rights, and aims to start
a discussion on how to improve the current recount process, and whether there should be an automatic recount if the margin of votes is under a certain threshold. Currently, the recount process in Boston requires that candidates requesting a recount collect 50 signatures in each ward
that they would like a recount on, and have the signatures certified and filed within 10 days of the petition. This process does not align with state and district-wide recount practices, and most cities and towns in Massachusetts only require 10 signatures in each ward for a recount. The city has the responsibility to provide an accurate count of the votes, especially when the margin of victory is narrow. Having a difficult recount process can pose difficulties for candidates requesting a recount, especially after a competitive and stressful race, and create barriers for the municipalities to provide an accurate count of the votes. “I believe that having a
recount process that is fair to the municipa lit y, residents, candidates, and their supporters is important to our election process,” said Councilor Flynn. “When the margin of victory is narrow, we should be planning an automatic recount, so that we can get an accurate vote count without imposing any additional barriers. I want to thank Councilor Mejia for chairing this hearing, and I look forward to this discussion.” The hea ring will be held virtually via Zoom, and you can watch using this link.

It’s “Hunger Action Day” in Hunger Action Month Please Plan to Take Part by Rick Winterson
I
n this year of 2020, “Hunger Action Day” is occurring right now, all day long on Thursday, September 10. For several years, the month of September has been designated and observed as National Hunger Action Month. The reason for having a specific “Hunger Action Day” in this month of September, 2020, is simple: Coronavirus and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic have caused widespread, nationwide hunger to increase by more than one-and-a-half times what it was last year in 2019. We need a special “day” to focus on hunger relief. The food shortage figures we have seen at South Boston Online are very large – they are truly forbidding! Over 40 million people in the U.S. (more than 10% of us) go hungry, at least some of the time. Many of these are growing children or elderly folks, whose health depends upon having a steady diet. Locally, we’ll quote from a letter we received from the Greater Boston Food Bank (the GBFB): “More than 658,000 neighbors (in all of Greater Boston) – children, families, and seniors – don’t have enough
Volunteers at Monica’s Kitchen prepare hundreds of take-out bags of groceries for last Saturday’s backto-school Peace Breakfast. food to stay healthy right now.” This is happening here in Eastern Massachusetts and all across America – the richest, most powerful nation the world has ever seen. And we live in that nation, which has its own ranches, orchards, fisheries, and vast farmlands. Even so, too many of us are going hungry. There are l ot s of organizations that you can donate to. South Boston Online is depicting the food pantry at St. Monica Parish Church because they had their backto-school Peace Breakfast last Saturday – this was a news item
we wanted to report. But St. Brigid and Fourth Presbyterian Churches provide food aid and hunger relief as well. The GBFB has a matching gift fund drive for food until September 30 that will double the impact of any contribution you choose to make, but how you help feed
others is completely up to you. We must all depend upon our doctors, hospitals, life scientists, and medical professionals to guide us through this pandemic. But while this is going on, we ourselves can certainly feed our less fortunate neighbors and fellow A mericans, can’t we? Please take part in this effort.

J
alil Presley-Rogers from Bridge Boston Charter School and Tachenia Saintil from UP Academy Boston, both 13, of Dorchester were selected as two of 12 Boston Public School 7th graders to be welcomed the Red Sox Scholars program and receive a $10,000 college scholarship from the Red Sox Foundation.

Jalil was selected as an exceptional student, receiving academic awards which include recognition for perfect attendance,

Tachenia was selected as a very active member in her school community and has received “Student of the Month” and Honor Roll awards throughout her academic career. Tachenia is a member of her school’s Student Council and is responsible for assisting in the planning and executing of fundraisers for student activities.

McChrystal to Speak. Please Attend by Rick Winterson A memorable speaker will be here on Sunday.
I
n our last issue (September 3, page 7), South Boston Online included a public service announcement inviting you to attend and celebrate the 39th Anniversary of the South Boston Vietnam Memorial this coming Sunday, September 13, at 11:30 a.m., after a Memorial Mass in St. Brigid Church at 10.30 that morning. This is an event you won’t want to miss. Actually, the page contained two announcements about this upcoming event. The other stated that the keynote speaker for the Vietnam Memorial Anniversary Celebration will be General Stanley A. McChrystal (Ret.). The General received his fourth star just over
eleven years ago in 2009, and has enjoyed a highly successful civilian business career since 2011. He is an excellent, highly experienced speaker. We mention this to encourage you to attend. His experience speaks for itself. He serves or has served on more than a half-dozen major U.S. corporate Boards of Directors, and founded his own business (the McChrystal Group) after returning to civilian life. McChrystal is a Senior Fellow at Yale University where he teaches global leadership; he has written three bestselling books on leadership as well. It is interesting to note that as stated in his biography, McChrystal’s business advisory services firm helps businesses challenge the hierarchical “command and control” approach to their management. After all, “command and control” was once the way military units were managed during their missions.
General Stanley A. McChrystal (Ret.) And McChrystal is an ardent supporter of National Service as a cultural expectation for every young American, so don’t miss the chance to hear him speak. Once again, the 39th Anniversary Celebration of the South Boston Vietnam Memorial is scheduled for next Sunday, September 13, and begins with a Memorial Mass in St. Brigid Church at 10:30 a.m. At 11:30, a rededication ceremony will take place
at the Vietnam Memorial in Medal of Honor Park. Congressman Lynch, Mayor Walsh, and Governor Baker are expected to attend. The South Boston Vietnam Memorial was originally dedicated on September 13, 1981; a rededication ceremony is held every September. Join us as South Boston’s Vietnam Memorial starts its 40th year. And remember to wear a face mask, while you keep Social Distances. Thank you.

A Franklin Park Zoo Hike
by Rick Winterson
F
or some time now, South Boston Online has been publishing articles that encouraged you to go outdoors, and to take walk-abouts and walkthroughs lasting two or three hours. This is in part because South Boston has a striking geography to experience on foot. In fact, most of the neighborhoods within the City of Boston are great for walking – Boston, along with our near neighbors like Cambridge, Newton, and Somerville, are “walking cities”. The other important reason for these articles is that COVID-19 authorities, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, strongly advise you to go out-of-doors for your health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wear masks and keep your Social Distance, of course. Last month, we published a photoessay on the beaches of South Boston. Simply driving along Day Boulevard will give you a glimpse of them, but that’s really not experiencing those beaches in any way. As for experiencing Southie’s increasingly beautiful murals here and nearby, forget about it if you’re in your car. Viewing them can only be done leisurely, and (always) in person and on foot. The same “only-on-foot” comment applies to experiencing South Boston’s Fort Point and Seaport District, especially sights like the Harbor Walk, Seaport Common, and Fort Point Channel.
We recently went beyond the borders of South Boston to gather material and photographs for a photoessay entitled “A Spectacle Island Hike”. Spectacle Island is the nearest Harbor Island to South Boston, except for Thompson Island, which is privately owned and not accessible. In this photoessay, we would like to suggest that you visit the Franklin Park Zoo, which has two major visitor attractions for you, your friends, and your family to enjoy. Only on foot, of course. And masks are required. The first attraction on our Franklin Park Hike was the Zoo itself, as well as its 1,800 resident animals. Walking the length of the Zoo from the Main Entrance down to its west entrance is about a mile and a half, and it’s leisurely because no one can resist stopping to view the animals, from the smallest (birds and insects) to the tallest (Masai giraffes). The giraffes are personal favorites – take close looks at their necks, which are longer than a standing human being, and their gentle eyes. All in all, walking the perimeter of the Zoo is a few miles and takes a few hours, if you stop to view every denizen there. And you won’t catch COVID-19 from any of them – they’re all immune. Since we visited the Franklin Park Zoo in the daytime, we don’t know much about the second attraction – it’s called “Boston Lights: A Lantern Experience”. We have included our daytime photos of the huge, vivid lanterns, which will give you an idea of their brilliance when lit up after dark. This is a very popular show; it will go until Sunday, November 1, 6:00 to 10:30 in the evening. Don’t miss it! Both the Zoo and Boston Lights are ticketed, and have an admission fee. Reserve in advance. It’s easy to get there. Just take the #16 Forest Hills bus from Andrew – 24 minutes later get off at 1 Franklin Park, where Columbia Road meets Blue Hill Avenue. And make sure you know where the #16 return bus will stop to pick you up.

South Boston Catholic Academy News The children at South Boston Catholic Academy returned to school last week. They were thrilled to be back and they enjoyed their newly renovated school yard. It has a new greenspace of artificial turf, a basketball court, a space for a future outdoor classroom, picnic tables etc. School during the pandemic looks very different for our students as they wear masks the entire school day, are constantly washing hands, using the provided hand sanitizers many times a day, and eating lunch in the classrooms, but they are all enthusiastic about returning to school! The new play area has been beneficial so that they can enjoy the outdoors more often -- for “mask breaks,” recess, and even holding class outdoors. We pray for our school, our children and our families, that they remain healthy and safe as the school year progresses. We pray for our teachers, principal, and staff as they provide, in challenging times, a quality Catholic Education to all our students! Faith, Family and Academic Excellence… Inspired by the traditions of our Catholic faith, family spirit, and academic excellence, we are committed to meeting the spiritual, academic, physical, and social needs of individual students within a learning environment that is both stimulating and supportive.
