VOLUME XIX- ISSUE 74

Please VOTE

E

lection Day (if you haven’t voted early) is just five days away, on Tuesday, November 4. Please make sure you vote. Yes, this is a so-called “off-year” election, and unfortunately, because of this many eligible voters don’t bother to vote at all. But we encourage you to do your duty as a citizen of the United States next Tuesday, and on both primary and general Election Days next year, as well as in the all-important major presidential elections that will occur in 2028.

We are living during historic anniversaries – from 250 years ago? The Battle of Lexington and Concord took

place in 1775, immediately after Paul Revere rode there from Charlestown.

This was followed two months later by the Battle of Bunker Hill. Nine months after that, on March 17, 1776, the British evacuated Boston because Dorchester Heights had been fortified

by America’s colonial militia. Later on, this was called Evacuation Day. It was General George Washington’s first victory in our War of Independence.

Take a look at our current political issues and situations – locally, statewide, and nationally. They range from Mass/Cass here in Boston, to illegal immigration into Massachusetts, and up to the government shutdown in our nation’s capital. Show your own opinion of these issues and situations by voting at all levels from now on. It’s not only important, it’s also the best possible way to show how dedicated we are to the United States of America – the world’s very first democratic republic.

And to wish our nation a Happy 250th Birthday this coming year as well.

Happy Halloween!

Castle Island came alive with Halloween spirit Saturday! From spooky fun to creative costumes, families had a blast exploring Fort Independence and celebrating the season at the Castle Island Association Halloween Celebration. More Photos Page 9

Sen. Collins Backs Bill Expanding PAs’ Authority in Involuntary Treatment

Backs giving PAs expanded authority under Section 12 & 35 of State Public Health Law

S

enator Nick Collins, a member of the Joi nt C om m it t e e on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Recovery, recently

submitted testimony in support of legislation that would expand the authority of physician assistants to initiate psychiatric holds and petitions under state law. His testimony emphasized the need to modernize the Commonwealth’s behavioral health system by empowering front-line clinicians and ensuring timely access to care.

The legislation, A n Act enabling physician assistants to authorize psychiatric holds and ensure adequate training on their use, would expand the list of professionals permitted to initiate a psychiatric hold under Section 12 to include physician assistants (PAs). Senator Collins also urged lawmakers to extend this same authority to Section

35 of Chapter 123, allowing PAs to petition on behalf of ind ividua ls su f fering from alcohol or substance use disorder.

“Physicia n a ssist a nt s are highly trained medica l professionals who are often the first to respond when someone is in crisis,” said Senator Collins.

“A llowing them to initiate Section 12 and 35 petitions will save lives by reducing dangerous delays and connecting people to care when every minute matters.”

The bill also requires three hours of specialized training for any professional authorized to initiate a psychiatric hold, a provision Senator Collins praised as an important safeguard to ensure these assessments are

carried out fairly, accurately, and with proper oversight.

Collins noted that expanding this authority will help f ill critica l gaps in behaviora l health response, particularly in emergency departments and underserved areas where access to physicians and mental health specia lists rema ins limited.

“Our communities a re facing an unprecedented mental health and addiction crisis,” Senator Collins said. “We need every qualified clinician ready and empowered to act.

Expanding Section 12 and 35 to include physician assistants is a practical, compassionate step toward getting people t he h e lp t hey n e e d .”

Happy (and safe) Halloween Halloween is for our children, of course. And just as obviously, they are completely, totally excited about it. In fact, a majority of our young ones say that Halloween is their favorite day of the year. But that means they may not watch where they’re going.

We’re sure you’ve been told many times to keep an eye on your kids while they are trick-or-treating. They’ll be traversing sidewalks and crossing streets excitedly; they’ll be easily distracted as they do this. You must ensure their crossings are made safely. We also recommend that you carefully check each and every “treat” they receive, before they put it into their Halloween bags. You should limit how much of these “treats” they consume. We’ve even heard that excited kids who have allergies (like to peanuts) might eat the wrong “treat” without thinking.

So watch the children in order that you’ll have a Happy Halloween, too.

Councilor Flynn Respectfully Asks For Your Vote Tuesday, November 4th

I

t is an honor to serve as your District 2 City Councilor, and I have worked hard each and every day for our residents and community.

With multiple challengers now also on the ballot with me this year, I am respectfully asking for your vote again on Tuesday, November 4th so that I may continue to focus on constituent services and advocate for quality of life issues in District 2.

Over the last few years, with the help of strong neighborhood advocacy, we were able to share some key victories. These include new Boston EMS & Boston Fire Department stations in the South Boston Waterfront, a new Josiah Quincy Upper School and affordable housing developments in Chinatown, a new Thomas C. Foley Little League Field at Major Christopher Lee Playground in South Boston. We helped to secure funding for the South End Library, reconstruction to Crite Park, and improvements to several others like Titus Sparrow Park and the Peters Park Little League Field. We established the One Downtown Task Force to address public safety concerns around the Boston Common area. Moreover, we were able to preserve Sister Mary Veronica Park in South Boston, and advocate effectively against the impracticality of the bus lanes at both Summer Street and Boylston Street, with each ending over the

last year. I advocated for additional Copley Library funding and continue to work with Back Bay neighbors on public safety quality of life issues, such as the drag racing that took place last year.

Throughout my time in office, I have used my position of public trust to speak out on many important issues impacting the city. As an elected official, my focus has always remained on public safety, housing stability & affordability, social & economic justice, and quality of life issues for our residents and families.

In terms of public safety, I have been a strong advocate of pedestrian safety. I advocated for a 12 point safety plan and held hearings to advocate for traffic-calming infrastructure improvements on high traffic roads, slower speeds and increased enforcement. I’ve held hearings on many other public safety issues in the City of Boston. In addition, I have consistently called for hiring hundreds of Boston Police Department officers every year for the next ten years to address long-standing issues of forced overtime, overstretched resources, a nd looming retirements.

When it comes to housing, I held hearings during my time in office on affordable housing and the Inclusionary Development Policy (IDP) to help keep working families in Boston. I have held hearings and advocated for property tax relief for longtime neighbors. I also passed an ordinance previously to help our seniors who have fallen behind on their property taxes to pay with reduced interest and on more affordable terms. I continue to advocate for neighbors and civic groups when it comes to zoning and licensing matters at City Hall.

Moreover, I have always stood with our working families seeking fair and living wages, affordable healthcare, safe working conditions

and a secure retirement. Whether it was United Steelworkers during the National Grid lockout, Unite Here Local 26 at Marriott Hotels, UFCW 1445 at Stop & Shop or Macy’s, my family and I have always been proud to stand with organized labor.

With accessibilit y and inclusion in mind, I continue to advocate for improved language access at all levels of our city government. My social media posts are translated into Spanish and Chinese, and I have several women of color on my staff who are bilingual. In addition, I have been working on the issue of digital equity and ensuring that our residents have access to affordable internet and digital resources. I also work closely with the Disability Commission on accessibility for our persons with disabilities.

I continue to advocate at City Hall when it comes to many neighborhood and quality-of-life issues, including a dedicated Office of Pest Control to provide this public health issue the attention it deserves.

Government serves us best when it takes the legitimate concerns of its citizens seriously.

I have not only listened to your concerns, but have taken the lead on issues affecting our most basic government services. I promise to continue to advocate on behalf of the people of District 2, listen to your feedback, be accessible in our community, and work hard to deliver results for all of our neighbors.

Thank you, Ed Flynn for Boston City Council info@edforboston.com

Fall Back Sunday In case anyone missed the announcement, Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 2. Move your clocks, watches, and electronic timekeepers, now on Eastern Standard Time (EST), back one hour, as in that old saying “Spring forward; fall back”.

Many folks would like to keep DST all year ‘round. There’d be no resetting of clocks in March and November. Some have even recommended that Boston joins the Atlantic Time Zone, which really means the same thing as being on DST all the time. Does “DST” then become “AST”? It would literally take an act of Congress to determine that.

Close of Public Comment Period: 11/10/2025

Teresa Polhemus, Executive Director/Secretary

tate Representative David Biele joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts House of Representatives to pass legislation that strengthens protections for public transit workers by expanding current laws on assault and battery against public employees. The bill, entitled An Act relative to assault and battery upon a transit worker, ensures that transit employees receive the same legal heightened protections as other public employees while performing their jobs.

Current Massachusetts law imposes heightened penalties on individuals for assault and battery against public employees i nc lud i ng pol ic e of f ic er s, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and other government workers. This bill adds public transit workers to that list.

The bill also clarifies and broadens the definition of assault by specif ica lly recognizing that projecting bodily f luids, such as spitting or throwing substances like urine, constitutes assault against a public worker.

Under the House bill, offenders would face a sentence ranging from a minimum of 90 days to 2.5 years in a house of

correction, a f ine bet ween $500 and $5,000 or both.

“Everyone should feel safe in the workplace and this legislation establishes protections for those who provide crucial services every day across Massachusetts on our public transit systems yet have faced increased attacks and abuse in recent years,” said Rep. Biele. “I was proud to cosponsor this bill and to join my colleagues in House in passing legislation which will help those who ser ve our communities feel sa fe, suppor ted a nd protected in their workplace.”

“We thank the House for voting in favor of this important legislation to protect our MBTA train and bus operators, and all public transit employees,” said Jim Evers, President of Boston Carmen’s Union Local 589.

“Protecting transit workers is essential to maintaining a safe and quality public transportation system. This bill will ensure the safety of the essential workers who keep our communities moving every day. We look forward to swift passage in the Senate so that these vital protections can be signed into state law to safeguard transit workers for generations to come.”

Having passed t he Hou se of R epre sent at ive s 160-0, the bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.

Celebrating the Naming of Billy Baker Field

U

nder a crisp blue sky and the sound of bagpipes, dozens of family members, friends, former players, coaches, and community leaders gathered at Moakley Park to celebrate the naming of Billy Baker Field — honoring the man who, nearly four decades ago, founded the South Boston Youth Soccer League and forever changed youth sports in the neighborhood.

Jack Baker, Billy’s youngest son, opened the ceremony with humor and heart. “My mother thought 20 or 30 people would show up, and she was worried about parking,” he said to laughter. “Obviously, more than that showed up.”

After young South Boston resident Eve Polaski performed the National Anthem — a nod to the long-standing tradition

Billy started at every league opening — Jack shared stories that captured both the humble beginnings and the lasting impact of his father’s work.

“In 1985, when the soccer league started, we used to play our games down at M Street Park,” he recalled. “I don’t even think we had uniforms.

Kids were wearing jeans and sweatshirts. It didn’t really matter.”

That first championship was played “in torrential downpours,” he said, with players “covered in mud, filthy,” and the field probably glass and dog poop. Still, it became one of the most memorable days in the league’s history.

Now, nearly 40 years later, that same spirit of community was alive as South Boston gathered to dedicate the new field in Billy’s honor.

Sports by the Numbers: Fall, 2025

by Rick Winterson

T

here has been both bad news and good news on the Boston sports scene since the summer ended.

Perhaps most significant is the New England Patriots’ performance so far. As you know, just over halfway through their seventeen (17)-game season the Pats’ record is a strong six (6) Wins and two (2)

Losses. This record translates into a quite creditable .750 percentage.

To appreciate this even more, it’s best to look at their total scoring numbers. In their eight (8) games so far this season, the Pats have scored 213 points, an average of twenty-seven (27) points per game. In their two (2) losses to the Raiders and the Steelers, they scored only thirteen (13) and fourteen (14) points; in their six (6) wins,

they’ve averaged a strong thirtyone (31) points in each game. This has led to five (5) wins in a row.

The Patriots’ defense numbers also deserve a look. On average, their defense allowed eighteen (18) points per game. Even in their two losses, the Pats defense let in only 20 and 21 points. In the Pats’ six (6) wins, the defense held their opponents to an average of just seventeen (17) points

per game, which is quite good.

There are some downsides to think about, such as the Pats’ soft schedule so far. Their last three opponents - the Saints, the Titans, and the Browns – have dismal records of just one (1) Win each. And while the Pats look good to make the playoffs, there are eight (8) other teams that boast six-and-two (6-2) records, as well as one (1) team – the Indianapolis Colts – that has lost just once.

Aside from numbers, the Pats have a coach named Vrabel, a quarterback named Maye, a budding defense, and the ability to both run and pass on offense. But enough about them.

As of this writing, the Boston Celtics are one (1) and three (3).

Believe it or not, this is entirely understandable because the Celts have lost a large chunk of their 2023-2024 teams. Forward Jrue Holiday and Center Kristaps Porzingis have gone to the Trail Blazers and the Hawks, respectively.

Back-up Center Luke Kornet now plays for the Spurs, and the Celtics’ spark plug Al Horford now plays Center for the Warriors.

And of course, Jason Tatum is out indefinitely with an Achilles tendon rupture. So, five key players are gone! However, Anfernee Simons, traded in from the Trail Blazers, led the Celts to their first win this season with twenty-five (25) points on Monday evening over the Pelicans.

The Bruins are still trying to find themselves as well. Unfortunately, they choked up during that six (6)game losing streak. As of now, only three NHL teams have less points than the pitiful eight (8) points the Bruins have earned after ten (10) games.

Of course, the Red Sox have left the scene, even though they showed some life at the end of the MLB season.

Our only conclusion isn’t really numerical: first and foremost, the Sox need another pitcher, and also an added reliever, if available. Boston fans love Red Sox hitters of course, but even the very best hitter connects only one (1) out of three (3) times at the plate.

Ms. Mary Shanley Turns 100 The Boston City Council presented Ms. Shanley with an official Resolution recognizing her 100 years of life, love, and community spirit. Born in a small village in Galway, Ireland, she came to America at the age of 19 as the eldest of nine children, showing strength and courage from an early age.

Mary met her beloved husband, Michael, at the Hibernia Hall, a place filled with music, Irish dances, and joy. They were married at St. Cecilia’s Church in the South End, honeymooned in New York, and eventually settled in Dorchester, where they raised four beautiful daughters.

Her creativity and warmth could be felt in every Irish dance costume she made and every batch of her famous chocolate chip cookies. She is the proud grandmother of three granddaughters, Mary, Cassidy, and Genevieve, and recently beamed with pride at Cassidy’s wedding. After a lifetime of love, laughter, and family, Mary now calls South Boston home.

It was wonderful to celebrate this extraordinary milestone surrounded by her daughters, friends, neighbors, and Father Joe White, who offered a blessing in her honor.

The location is on Bolton Street between Dorchester Street and F Street.
