Cunniff Scholarship Nominees Recognized “South Boston Youth Hockey is committed to building future leaders of the City by providing high quality ice-hockey programs…” BY KEVIN DEVLIN

On Friday evening, January 16, the South Boston Youth Hockey League held their first Teddy Cunniff Scholarship Award dinner. The event was generously hosted by the Boston Beer Garden on East Broadway. The first annual Teddy Cunniff Scholarship Award winner, Eddie Smith, was previously recognized at the league’s fundraiser at Carson Place on November 29. But on this night, all of the scholarship-nominees were honored. League board member, Kathy Lafferty, organized this event on behalf of the players. “The kids deserved this night,” she said.

Nominees with league representatives had a good time at this inaugural awards ceremony.

“They work hard on the ice and want to be winners. But it’s not just about winning it’s about building character and integrity. “And Teddy deserves such an honor,” she added. “He’s taught kids for years, now he’s teaching their children. He’s the Pied Piper of hockey in South

Boston.” Cunniff was humbled and appreciated having this award established in his name. “I’m honored,” said Cunniff. “…to have a scholarship in my name. But like Kathy said, it’s about the kids. They’re great and the coaches do a tre-

mendous job. Kathy did a terrific job organizing this event. We’re thankful for the Boston Beer Garden’s generosity and also for the local men’s hockey league (which is also sponsored by the Beer Garden) that gave us the money for this scholarship.” Here are brief bios of the nominees: Brian Cloherty, 14, is a forward on the Bantam “A” Team. He is constantly encouraging his teammates, is always at practices and games and gives hundred percent on the ice. Brian’s easy to coach, a great kid, and is a big part of the team. Tommy Greeley, 14, also plays forward for the Bantam “A” team. He is one of the best players on the team, and even though he can score goals, he passes the puck and encourages his teammates. He never misses a practice or game, he listens and learns. He’s a great kid and also an instrumental part continued on page 9

Congrats, Pats – # Two: Credit Where It’s Due! Not for a moment are we saying anything that diminishes Tom Brady’s rain-soaked role in Sunday’s extremely decisive (45-7) win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was a masterful, 37-year-old championship athlete, who is arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. Nor are we taking any credit away from Coach Bill Belichick, ably assisted by Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. If Sunday’s drawing-andquartering of the Colts wasn’t enough, just recall the previous weekend’s dismantling of the tough, tough Baltimore Ravens, and the arcane but brilliant use of on-field “eligibles” – along with Julian Edelman’s patented flea-flicker touchdown pass to Danny Amendola. But credit where it’s (also)

due: Due to an amazing LeGarrette Blount with three rushing touchdowns. That was not due to luck - Blount simply didn’t stop running, no matter who or what hit him. The Pats

rushed for 246 yards, 20 more than their passing yardage – a welcome bit of versatility in the occasionally heavy rain. Due to continued stellar performances by the increasingly skilled offensive line – Cam-

eron Fleming as an extra massive run blocker, for example. Due to Nate Solder’s “eligible lineman” catch and subsequent TD run – Wow! (What else can you say?). But most of all, due to the defense (!), who held the Colts to just seven points and 210 yards, leading the Pats to a 38-point winning margin. We hope Defensive Coordinator Matt Patricia slept very well Sunday night. He and his defensive stand-outs certainly deserve all the credit South Boston Online can give them. Pass coverage and the usual Patriots’ red-zone blockades have to be giving the Seattle Seahawks nervous indigestion. Keep the 2015 Lamar Hunt Trophy polished. It’s on to Super Bowl XLIX on February 1 in Phoenix.

THANK YOU from the Scleroderma Foundation New England Thank you very much for your coverage of the Polar Plunge in South Boston – especially as it benefits the Scleroderma Foundation New England. Your clever and prolific advance coverage really paves the way for us to arrive and join with so many others who are dipping their toes (and their torsos) in the water for a good cause. It is clear that all who are participating arrive with a sort of zany dedication to doing the dangerous and the nearly unthinkable. For those few who do actually get into the water, it is an act of near-impossibility that they actually emerge alive. Even Kevin Conroy dove in this year – my first thought was, “Well, there goes the bagpipe brigade for 2016!” We are a small grass roots organization, trying to enthuse research and support for those living with an awful disease. Scleroderma occurs so seldom per capita that all funds for research are raised at the street level with no support from the federal government. We are a definitive “orphan disease.” As such, efforts like yours to build awareness cleverly, and with such loyal backing as your newspaper has shown, are invaluable to us! Thank you very much for this success – we are very grateful to you. Sincerely, Jack Armitage, Executive Director Scleroderma Foundation New England

Police Commissioners and Chiefs Can Make a Big Difference Big cities or small towns, police commissioners and chiefs can make a big difference. By Ray Flynn former Mayor of Boston U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.

While protesters and reckless demonstrators were jeopardizing public safety and order not far away on highway 93, Brockton residents were giving a heart felt thanks to a “cops cop” Bobby Hayden who received a sustained standing ovation Thursday night. The former Dorchester neighborhood kid and Boston cop, is leaving the Brockton Police Chiefs job with the appreciation of a grateful mayor Bill Carpenter, local officials, but even more importantly, the respect the people of Brockton. Watching fellow Brockton police officers and a diverse citizenry coming up to the former Boston Police Superintendent, giving him a warm embrace is not something you see anymore in the news. But I think this was a true reflection of how most Americans feel about their police officers who put their lives on the line every day to preserve law and order and every decent citizens right to live in a peaceful community. When I introduced Chief Hayden at the packed Veterans Auditorium, the pride and respect that he had for the people he was evident. But unfortunately, his declining health has forced Bobby to step down as Brockton’s Police Chief. I told the crowd that my long time friend, never wanted praise or recognition, but only the respect of the people he faithfully served. Commissioner Mickey Roache and I asked him to do some of the most challenging jobs in the City of Boston and he would do them with courage and without reservation. When I was first elected, cleaning up the Boston Common and getting rid of the drug dealers, muggers and prostitutes was critical for the people who lived, worked or visited the oldest park in America. He especially made the beautiful and historic park safe and accessible for families, the elderly and children once again. “Bobby, I want to have a little thank you reception at the Parkman House for you for doing such a good job.” This is what he said to me, “Mayor, if you would invite my dedicated police team to have a beer with you after work at J.J. Foley’s, that would great. I love those guys.” And that’s what we did. Another time, he showed up at City Hall and asked me to visit a lady from the Bunker Hill Public Housing Development with him. Mary Mc Guinness was a big neighborhood crime watch supporter in Charles-

town, but sick in the hospital. Bobby was a tough determined cop who had no patience for drug dealers, muggers and anyone who broke the law, but kind and generous. Whether it was during the ugly school busing protests, big sports celebrations, or student protests, preserving “public order” was his first priority. No meetings or negotiations with radical protesters and demonstrators. He never pandered to anybody. “Mr. Mayor, I love you and respect you, but I serve the people.” This is what he told me when demonstrators wanted to disrupt traffic in one of downtown Boston’s main streets leading to the Expressway. They never got a chance to get near the Expressway or get off the sidewalk. The demonstrators complained to the press and criticized us, but we moved on. After Bill Carpenter was elected Mayor of Brockton, he called me for some advise. What would you say about Bob Hayden being Brockton’s Police Chief? “Mr. Mayor, you told me that public safety was your number one priority in Brockton. Well Bobby Hayden is your man. When his job is finished and its time for him to retire, you are going to say to Bobby Hayden what I said to this so called tough cop. I love you Bobby.” And that’s exactly what Mayor Carpenter said before hundreds of concerned and grateful citizens the other night in Brockton. A local small business owner originally from Haiti came up to me at the reception after the State of City Address where I introduced Mayor Carpenter and said, “Ambassador, I liked your speech tonight about Chief Hayden. Around here we say, if you’re a law abiding citizen, you like him. But if you’re not, he’ll find you.” “Well, Mayor Carpenter made one good call. I’m convinced he’ll make another,” I replied. While Bob’s wife Katie and Bobby Jr., and the Chief were leaving the reception at Angelo’s Restaurant and Bar, I said to Mayor Carpenter, “This is the best part of the job as mayor. You get to appoint some very decent and caring people, who only want to do a good job for the people. Its in their DNA. I appointed two of the best commissioners in Boston in Mickey Roache and Bill Bratton. Tom Menino had one of the best in Paul Evans and later Ed Davis. Marty Walsh has a great one in Bill Evans. You had one of the best in Bob Hayden. Milton’s got a great one in Dick Wells.” Big cities or small towns, Police Commissioners and Chiefs can make a big difference. Let’s show them our appreciation and don’t give in to professional critics.

Beginnings, Beginnings, Beginnings … The Holiday Season and the New Year have brought a bounteous crop of openings, happenings, and new beginnings to us. It seems that South Boston is a very special location, blessed with an outsized share of such goings-on. by Rick Winterson

There’s always something exciting – very exciting – about a new happening, especially if it takes place in or around the old hometown. Just look about; think about the number of openings you see. Business, cultural, and political beginnings are everywhere, in both South Boston and the bordering neighborhoods. Perhaps the most heartwarming “beginning” recently was the opening of the homeless shelter at 112 Southampton Street last Thursday. After reluctantly closing the Long Island shelters because of the dangerous condition of the Long Island Bridge, Mayor Walsh and Human Services Chief Felix Arroyo mustered the necessary resources to quickly construct a 100-bed shelter at 112 Southampton Street.

A total of 490 beds will eventually be available at that shelter, which was once the MBTA’s sign painting shop. Both Walsh and Arroyo praised the atmosphere of cooperation that prevailed among the union craftspeople, developers, and contractors, all of whom worked around the clock to minimize the effect of the recent bitterly cold spell on those Bostonians without a home. South Boston saw three new art exhibitions open. Each one will grace our cultural scene through mid-February. The 555 Gallery at 555 East Second Street is exhibiting four photographers – Jim Nickelson, Christopher Wright, Corrine Schulze, and Amy Friend in a show that owner/curator Susan Nalband has entitled “Under Astral Skies”. Susan has made quite an impression in South Boston since she began her shows of superb art photography. The Distillery at 516 East Second Street opened two (yes, two) exhibits last week. Thursday evening, in The Distillery’s basement gallery, the “Second Selves” exhibition opened. It presents an interior type of installations and abstractions; it will be open through Feb-

ruary 21. The Proof Gallery – also located in The Distillery Building – opened its own exhibition last Saturday evening. It’s called “Boston Does Boston 8”; it features colorful, almost playful installations. It closes February 1, so make sure you get there. Olivia Brownlee (lead singer, guitar, five-string banjo) has formed a trio based in South Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood. The other members are Kate Foss (stand-up bass) and Nick Thorkelson (keyboard). The three of them opened last Friday night in Jo’s Nautical Bar, which is a unique basement pub all the way down south on the very tip of Hull. It was quite a happening – “another evening, another show”, as the saying goes. And there’s the openings of Whole Foods Market and many of the apartments and/or condos in the Ink Block development across the Channel. Yes, South Boston Online is aware these are both in the South End, but they are also nearby – walking distance from the area around Broadway Station on a nice day. The Whole Foods Market is huge, and could take up your whole day with shopping, places to eat, and a spa.

And never say never: We noticed passenger vehicles on the Haul Road, where West Broadway passes over it. Is this some kind of new beginning for drivers connected with the admitted problems to come with traffic on the South Boston Waterfront? Or is it another type of protest, after the debacles on Route 93 last Thursday. We’ve already written up the beginning of winter activities at The Lawn on D – see the article on the “Fire & Ice” Festival in our January 8 issue. A nice beginning – let’s hope for a repeat. This leads to the obvious comment that South Boston’s Waterfront and Fort Point neighborhoods are buzzing, really buzzing. For French cuisine or an aperitif/digestif, stop in at the Bastille Kitchen (it’s nothing like the original Bastille). It’s hard to create a new pizza experience – pizza was brought to America just after World War II by veterans returning from Italy – but Pastoral seems to have done just that. Despite the weather, taking a walk around South Boston is the way to see all the new beginnings here. Let us know what you come across in your travels. We’ll write it up.

Mayor Marty Walsh officially opens the homeless shelter at 112 Southampton Street.

Quarters for the homeless at 112 Southampton Street – 100 beds now; 490 to come.

And yes, there are also new apartments in the South End’s newly opened Ink Block.

Yes, it’s in the South End, but Whole Foods’ mega-store in the Ink Block is near Southie.

Greenovate Boston Announced by Rick Winterson

The EpiCenter Building at A and Second Streets, where Artists for Humanity is located, was buzzing last Thursday evening, January 15. The EpiCenter hosted an event called “Greenovate Boston 2014”. The occasion was Mayor Walsh’s in-person update of the City of Boston’s Climate Action Plan (the CAP), which was developed during 2014 for action this new year. It was indeed quite an event – more of a celebration than an event, actually. A key feature was a performance by Guster, right now among the hottest performing groups in the City. In fact, the Mayor, who is quite a fan of local music, declared last Thursday, January 15, “Guster Day”. Guster then proceeded to busk their music at locations all around the City: pop-up mini-concerts at Copley Square, Harvard Square, South Station, and so on. “Greenovate Boston 2014” was preceded by a meet-and-mix session in the

EpiCenter’s main gallery floor. Music was provided by Guster, of course, who had just put in a full day of busking. Refreshments were served; a pleasant buzz filled the gallery floor. At 6:30, Susan Rodgerson, the Founder and Executive Director of Artists for Humanity, took the stage.

She spoke of the Mayor’s support for her own efforts in creating and training young artists in the EpiCenter. She pointed out with justifiable pride that the EpiCenter Building is the only Platinum LEEDS structure in Boston (“LEEDS” certification is a prestigious environmental designation; “Platinum” is the very highest rank in LEEDS certification). Mayor Walsh then took the podium, accompanied by members of his Climate Action Plan (CAP) Steering Committee. These included Vivien Li,

President of the Boston Harbor Association, and Austin Blackmon, The City’s Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space. Blackmon was appointed in November; he is responsible for the Inspectional Services Department, Parks and Recreation, Environmental Affairs, and Energy Planning and Policy. You can take a look at the complete update of the CAP by logging onto “Greenovate Boston”, and going to “Everything you need to know about the 2014 Climate Action Plan”. Some of the highlights addressed by the Mayor and the other speakers were the reductions planned for greenhouse gases (mostly carbon dioxide from energy generation), which were split into three major categories: 1.- Large buildings and institutions, 2.- Transportation, and 3.- Neighborhoods. Major greenhouse gas reductions have already occurred in Category 1; a further 12.5% is planned by the year 2020. In Category 2, small reductions in vehicle miles to date will be augmented by another 5.5% reduction as of 2020. In the neighborhoods – Category 3 – 35,000 energy audits have been completed and 18,000 energy upgrades have been done. These totals will be doubled by 2020.

Cunniff Nominees of his team. Michael Walsh, 12, plays wing on the Pee Wee “A” team this year. He’s one of the best back checkers on the team. He’s always hustling back to help out the defense. He listens, learns and respects his coaches. Michael is determined on the ice and wins most of the one-on-one battles for the puck. He’s a positive force on the team. Brian Miller, 11, plays defense on the Pee Wee “A” team. He’s always there for his teammates, especially the goalie, by blocking multiple shots each game. He usually has the bruises to show it too. A great student of hockey, he’s always ready to learn and to improve. He’s happy when the team wins and sad when they lose, but keeps his emotions in check. He’s smart with the puck and makes good decisions when passing or skating out of the zone. Brian is proud to wear South Boston on his chest. Adam Alto, 10, plays defense for the Pee Wee “B” team. He’s a great team player and leads the defense. He always works hard on the ice and has a great work ethic. He practices as hard as he plays in every game. He plays the game the way it has been taught. He listens and does what he is supposed to do. Adam never leaves the locker room without saying “thank you Coach.” Chris Lowe, 10, plays center for the Pee Wee “B” team. He’s the ultimate team player and never looks for individual accolades. Well-liked by teammates, he plays with maximum effort every time. Chris smiles a lot and plays the game with great humility. He loves to play. Lauren Cloherty, 11, plays forward and defense on the Pee Wee “C” team. She is effective in either position. She carries herself with integrity at all times. She respects all players even those on the opposing teams. Lauren is the epitome of a “Rink Rat” and is always ready to lend a helping-hand. Will Ahern, 11, plays defense on the Pee Wee “C” team. He plays with maximum effort and encourages his teammates especially when the game isn’t going well. He never misses a practice or game and will spend countless hours in the little rink working to improve his game. He’s one of the best players on the team but is humble. Will is also a “Rink Rat” and can always be counted on to help out whenever needed. Eddie Smith, 10, is a forward on

the Squirt A team. He’s a great teammate and a leader. He has the upmost respect for his coaches, teammates, and the game. When he scores goals, he pumps his fist then gets back to business. It is not about Eddie, it’s about his team. He’s a role model for other players and great to coach. He personifies South Boston Youth Hockey. David Pittman, 10, plays defense on the Squirt “A” team. He’s at the rink every night and loves hockey. He balances this with his school work and is a great student. He never complains, bangs his stick or argues with his coaches or other players. He’s respectful, the kind of kid that other parents want their kids to be around. David represents South Boston Youth Hockey well and has volunteered on several occasions to help the program’s fundraising efforts. Michael Noonan, 9, is on the Squirt “B” team. He’s a leader on the team. He doesn’t frown when asked to play a different position and is always asking his coaches if he’s playing the right position. He gets just as excited when he makes a big defensive play as when he scores a goal. Michael leads by example, listens to what his coaches say, is a great student, and loves being part of South Boston Youth Hockey. Brennah Hynes, 9, plays left wing on the Squirt “B” team. She gives her teammates a lift of confidence because she always wants them to succeed. Although only nine, she gets dressed by herself and ties her own skates every time. She’s very respectful towards her parents, teammates and coaches. She works hard on the ice and told her parents once after a tough loss that she “didn’t want to let the coaches down.” Fionn Hamilton, 9, is a goalie on the Squirt “C” team. He stepped up this year when his team needed a goalie, a

position he never played before. From day one in net, he continued to hone his skills. He’s completely dedicated. He gets along with his teammates and is respectful toward his coaches. Fionn attends every practice and is always on time and ready to play. Michael Pittman, 8, is a goalie on the Mite “A” team. He works hard at practice and in games; and is always willing to play for other teams in a pinch. He’s always willing to learn the game and is a great role model for newcomers. Michael is a great kid, a leader, and never brags about his performance and

January 22, 2015

he leaves the game on the ice. Maeve Murray, 8, plays forward on the Mite “A” squad. She always gives one hundred percent effort. She’s the only girl on the team and is a natural leader. She’s always on time, dressed early and on the ice ready to play. She’s willing to learn and loves the game. And, she’s always the first player to say “thank you coach” and probably has no idea how much that means to her coaches. Maeve gets along with the other players and has fun. Deckard Whiteknact, 8, plays forward on the Mite “B” team. He’s a great kid to coach, gets along with everyone and has fun. He shows up focused and ready to play. During games, he is always cheering teammates on when he’s on the bench. Deckard loves playing hockey. Sam Flood, 8, is a forward on the Mite “B” team. He’s a team player, always passing the puck and doing whatever he can to help his team win. He never misses practice and works hard every time his skates hit the ice. Sam is a good student, great kid, honest, kind, always has a smile on his face, and loves being at the rink. (Special thanks to Kathy Lafferty and coaches who provided player-information.)

Brian Carthas, Timothy Murphy, and Michael Carthas representing the men’s hockey league, were once taught the game of hockey by Teddy Cunniff.

Fred Ahern came by to congratulate Teddy and the kids.

Meet the Murray Duo He loves hoop and she loves hockey BY KEVIN DEVLIN

They are two polite youngsters who love living in South Boston. They attend South Boston Catholic Academy. They both like to read. He’s an Honor Roll student and she’s a straight “A” student. They keep busy in the world of sports and have fun doing so. They even train together and jog around the neighborhood. If either was President of the United States, they would strive for a cleaner environment and world peace. Their mom’s name is Tricia and their dad is Frank. They also have a younger brother named Ronan. The two student-athletes featured this week in SBOL are Dermot and Maeve Murray. Dermot, 12, is in the sixth grade. His favorite subject is social studies. Someday he’d love to be a pro hoop player but if that doesn’t work out, he’d ven-

ture into the world of business. His favorite color is blue. His favorite food is spaghetti and meatballs cooked by his mom. His favorite actor is Adam Sandler. And, his favorite player is former NBA star defensive standout, Dikembe Mutombo. Dermot started playing hoop in the Gate of Heaven CYO Instructional League and currently plays in the Gatey cadet house league on the P.S. Deli Club, coached by Michael Donovan.

“I really like when we move the ball around,” Dermot said. “My coach is doing a great job teaching players how to play the game the right way. It’s fun and he’s great.” Dermot plays on the Pee Wee “A” team in the South Boston Youth Hockey League, which is coached by Mark Medico, Mike Walsh, and his dad. They recently won the Mayor’s Cup Championship at Boston College. They defeated Dorchester, 2-1. “We move the puck around good,” said Dermot. “We play as a team and work together. I was pumped and felt blessed when we won the championship against Dorchester.” Dermot is a two-time South Boston Little League champion. His team, the Oakland Athletics, coached by Bobby McGarrell, Winn Matthews, and Dave Goodine, won the Little League cham-

pionship in 2013 and 2014. Dermot will never forget hitting a single, double, and a triple in the finale last summer to help his team win. Maeve, 8, is in the third grade. Her favorite subject is math. Someday, she’d like to be the first woman player in the NHL. If that doesn’t happen, she’d love to be an actress or a teacher. Her favorite color is also blue and her favorite food is Smart Food popcorn. Her favorite pro is Bruins star, Zdeno Chara, and she loves singer, Taylor Swift. In her spare time, Maeve enjoys playing outside with Dermot and taking care of Ronan. She likes playing Manhunt and riding on her Ripstick Skateboard. She’s also in charge of the jogging program with Dermot. Maeve, a recent nominee for the Teddy Cunniff Scholarship, plays on the local Mite “A” team which is coached by Dave Ivaska and David Pittman. It’s really fun,” she said. “I’m the only girl on the team. I scored a goal, had an assist in one game…and back checked. I like doing that to break up plays.” Maeve also played in the South Boston Girls Softball League for three seasons and “was used at all positions.” Their caring parents have done a great job of raising them and it shows. “They are polite and respectful,” said their mom. “They work hard in school and give their all in sports. We’re proud of them.”

PeeWee A: An excellent game by defensemen Timmy Medico and Andrew Hally wasn’t enough to give Southie the W over Agawam Saturday morning. Goaltender Jack Feeney made some excellent saves, but the Pee Wee As weren’t able to earn any back in their 4-0 loss. Squirt B: The Squirt B team had a great game vs. Cape Ann on Sunday morning. The hometown team held the lead 3-1 with goals by Alex Fucile (2) and Toby Halloran for most of the game, but Cape Ann proved a tough opponent scoring 3 goals to take the lead over South Boston. Jerry O’Neil scored the tying goal with just 2 minutes left in the 3rd and the teams ended in a 4-4 tie. Mite A: The Mite A team had back to back games this weekend and have started with full-ice games for the remainder of the season. On Saturday, they faced a tough Belmont team, but secured the win with a 6-4 finish. The team had goals by Nolan Young, Ben Dearden, Mario Blasi and Maeve Murray. On Sunday, they beat Wellesley by a score of 8-4. James Baker (2) Harry Minucci, Mario Blasi, Ben Dearden, Nolan Young and Jack Hynes each netted one.

Vincent Crotty at SBAA Meeting

Vincent Crotty is an Irish painter, who now works in the U.S. He presented a demonstration of his oil painting techniques on Saturday morning, January 10, at the regular monthly meeting of the SBAA (the South Boston Arts Association). In about 45 minutes, Vincent created the 24” x 18” painting you see above, created from a photograph of the scene. The SBAA is a local group that consists of art lovers and local artists, both amateur and professional, from all the arts – painting, music, acting, literature, and so on. You are more than welcome to join the SBAA if you have an interest in the arts; you don’t have to be a professional artist yourself. The monthly meetings of the SBAA always feature a guest artist, and are free and open to the public. Join us on Saturday morning, February 14, at 9:30 a.m. in the Curley Community Center (M Street entrance). And it’s free – you can’t beat that with a stick.
