Fond Farewells: To Bob Monahan and Harry Duvall

by Rick Winterson Two Fond Farewells from SBANP: To Bob Monahan and Harry Duvall

M

e mb er s f rom several of South Boston’s many community service organizations

gathered at Amrhein’s on Tuesday.

The occasion was a farewell breakfast arranged by SBANP (the South Boston Association of Non-Profits) to honor and to bid cordial goodbyes to two of South Boston’s most diligent providers of community services. The honorees were Bob Monahan, whose efforts amounted to a lifetime of community work that ended with his being in charge at Julie’s Family Learning Program, and Harry Duvall, who planned and directed South Boston’s Boys & Girls Club to new heights of service and activities for local youths.

The SBA NP Goodbye Breakfast took place in the upper level of Amrhein’s, which was the original Amrhein’s Restaurant space (in 1890). This space has a welcoming period flavor about it – both festive and formal – Continued on Page 2

O

n Tuesday evening, a truly traditional S out h B o s t on event took place – it was a real “happening”. From 5 until 8 p.m., the Condon Community Center invited the South Boston community to its Awards Night and Fundraising “Time” – a celebration of South Boston’s youth

activities at one of our most bustling Community Centers.

Perhaps tradition required the Condon’s “Time” to be held in Amrhein’s, South Boston’s oldest restaurant, which dates back to 1890.

From the very first moment of the Condon “Time”, a joyful buzz filled with laughter circulated throughout the crowd. Community Center Director Joe Curran and Continued on Page 5

Please VOTE. It’s (Very) Important This Year

lections during 2022 are so-called “Midter m E le c t ion s”.

Unfortunately, these mid-terms are mostly known as elections with low voter turnouts – voter turnouts that are small percentages of all those who are eligible to vote. Even full-term election years, like 2020, haven’t attracted enough voters, so please accept our suggestion and make plans to vote – no matter what – next Tuesday. Settle on your choices for State elective offices and resolve key political issues now.

There’s no justification for waiting until the upcoming Election Year of 2024 to make yourself heard.

It’s entirely possible that going to the polls next Tuesday may be inconvenient for you, or even impossible. We understand

– your obligations to the work you perform or to your children are very important also. So please consider voting early, if necessary.

The State Election is TUESDAY, November 8, 2022.

If you are a registered voter, you can still vote early at City Hall on Friday, November 4. Check it out at Boston.gov/early voting.

And if you are still in doubt about Mid-term Elections, we suggest that you think about the four questions on the 2022 Mid-term Election ba llot: 1.- Additional tax on income over one million ($1,000,000) dollars: A YES vote would authorize that tax, which could raise an additional $1-2 billion for schools and transportation but

Letter to the Editor Vote “YES” On Question 2

assachusetts patients are not getting enough out of their dental insurance premiums. Studies show that 1 in 4 Massachusetts residents do not have dental insurance and 16.6% have avoided necessary dental work because they could not afford it.

If you believe, as I do, that this is unacceptable: I urge you to join me in voting YES on Question 2.

Question 2, the Dental Ballot Question, would require dental insurers to spend at least 83% of patient dental premiums on actual patient care, similar to laws that already exist for medical insurance. Why is this needed?

Under the current law without this requirement, the biggest dental insurer in the state - a “not for profit” company- spends closer to 60% of patient premiums on dental care, and the rest goes to administrative costs like “gifts” to their parent company and robust executive compensation.

A YES vote on Question

2 would not only guarantee value for patients, but also protects against artificially high premium increases. This initiative prohibits punitive premium increases above the consumer index, and enhances reporting requirements so the legislature and regulators have accurate information when considering future adjustments to the law.

In the final analysis, Question 2 is about protecting Massachusetts patients by choosing patient health over corporate wealth. Based on the feedback I’ve heard in our community and my own analysis of the proposal, we can create fair dental insurance in Massachusetts by voting YES on Question 2.

Senator Nick Collins Senator Collins represents the

First Suffolk District in the Massachusetts Senate which includes the South Boston, Dorchester, Mattapan, and Hyde Park neighborhoods of Boston.

there are two things to consider – first, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has an estimated tax surplus right now of roughly $5 billion; second, the State Constitution forbids a graduated (stepwise) income tax. Do we need to raise more tax money right now? Is a tax that cuts in stepwise at $1 million a “graduated’ tax that could be unconstitutional?

A NO vote keeps the tax structure as it is now.

2.- Regulation of dental insurance: A YES vote would require an 83% use of dental insurance premiums to pay claims; a NO vote would keep claim payments as they are now.

3.Ad d more package-liquor sales licenses: A YES vote would greatly expand packaged, off-premise liquor sales by allowing additional stores, outlets, and retailers to obtain the necessary licenses A NO vote would keep retail package store licenses as they are now.

4.- Driver’s license eligibility: A YES vote would keep the existing, recently passed law that allows driver’s licenses to be issued to residents who cannot prove they are in the U.S. lawfully – including illegal immigrants.

A NO vote would repeal that licensing law.

Fall Back – Sunday, November 6th

A reminder to turn your clocks back one hour to Eastern Standard Time (EST) this coming weekend. We don’t recommend you stay up until 2 a.m. this Sunday, or even wait until Sunday morning to drop your clocks and watches back. No, just set them all back an hour on Saturday evening, and then enjoy the extra hour you have in any way you choose. DST was an artifact of World War II, as far as we know. It was to allow for maximum efficiency of our all-out war effort. Many people feel that DST ought be kept year-around, even though that would make it “standard” time instead of “savings” time. And for part of December-January, that would result in many of us having to get out of bed in pitch-black darkness (at least on weekdays). But then, you could watch the sunrise. Think it over – but don’t forget that one-hour, DST-to-EST setback this weekend.

Fond Farewell

that really suits celebrations of community services and those who render those services.

Kathy Lafferty from the Neighborhood House served as the event’s hostess. She raised her cup (of coffee) and asked that we all toast Bob and Harry and their future ventures. Bob, who just spent an additional year at Julie’s helping them establish their 21st Century mission foundation, claims that he is “wide open” to future projects. He mentioned remaining on the Boards of nonprofits and referred to a PBS documentary next September that he’ll be involved with – the 50th Anniversary of busing in South Boston. At year end, when Harry leaves the Boys & Girls Club, he will begin a year-and-a-half course of study that includes learning Spanish. His aim is to pursue a self-directed, church-related career centered in Havana, Cuba, which he will devote to those who are

disadvantaged and/or disabled.

Both we and the whole world are fortunate that Bob and Harry will be continuing their service efforts.

A s SBA NP’s Goodbye Breakfast proceeded, State Rep. David Biele presented Certificates of Recognition to Bob and Harry.

Each Certificate mentioned, “Your dedication to the betterment of children and families.” Well spoken!

Those were followed by salutary comments about each of them from Anna White (to Harry Duvall) and from Donna Brown (to Bob Monahan). South Boston’s City Councilor-at-large Michael Flaherty then took the floor to commend both Bob and Harry for their immense contributions to South Boston’s non-profit organizations.

You might be curious about SBANP (once again, that stands for the South Boston Association of NonProfits). SBANP was an off-shoot of the SBNH – the South Boston Neighborhood House; SBANP started back in 2003, almost 20 years ago.

Its purposes were to give non-profit

Proud Graduation at the Laboure Center

By Carol Masshardt

T

here are many things on the minds of the instructors and students on the final day of October at the completion of the Certified Nurse Assistant Program. At the Laboure Program, Kathleen Curran-Nigi is not new to challenges in running successful programs, and nothing deters her from the fierce belief in the group she has ushered, taught, motivated, and learned from in these past weeks.

“Oh my God, they are an excellent group,” she said. “They come with so many stories and struggles.”

The group of eight expected to graduate navigated COVID at a clinical site, managed primary responsibilities at home, worried about distant relatives, and still brought a sense of pride in completion that would rival those at any commencement. They are also ready to work with patients who may be anxious, confused and alone.

Jean Toussaint, 43, originally from Haiti, moved to Toronto and earned a bachelor’s degree and thought about business. He is a father of three, and eager to make a difference. Healthcare is something he takes seriously.

“I took care of my father in Haiti and people thought I was good at it, so it got me thinking. I would go to medical school if it wasn’t for the money, but I am very happy with this program. The instructors were great, and we got what we needed to be successful,” he said. “I have a culture of helping people. It is just natural.”

The attentiveness needed for health care isn’t lost on this

Gabriel Rodriquez taking his final exam

The group working “ hands -on” . man, nor are the issues his patients may experience. Soft-spoken and polite, it seems he is someone who would enter a hospital room gently while also conveying competence.

“Food and poverty and stress all make a difference in health. I think I was always a good communicator, but here I learned how to be even more patient, and I became more confident, too” he said. “The patient may not know what is going to happen, and if I can offer an encouraging word, it could help a little.

A headache is one thing, but a person can have a whole lot more going on.”

His classmate, Christella Georges, has had another life course, and was a nurse in Haiti, but knew she needed more to work in the field she loves. “I like the way they taught here.

I’m grateful for the skills I need to work in this culture. The work isn’t new, but the I had to practice all the skills.” She is confident in what brings her to the field, and though the language and practices are different, the care is not.

“You have to be sympathetic, and work with all kinds of people, and be

respectful and honest with everyone,” she said with modesty and directness.

Gabriel Rodriguez was an MD in Columbia and life in the US as a single parent of a twelve-year-old daughter has brought its own challenges, but he seems resilient and motivated. The process of becoming an MD in the US may be too time consuming as he balances his responsibilities, but he sees this day of graduation as a continuation and beginning. He could be frustrated or resentful but is the opposite.

“This was an excellent course.

From the instructors to the intensity, to the quality of materials, and it is so well organized,” he said. “It will give me a place back in a hospital and from there I may be able to become a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, but this is where I can start, and I appreciate it.”

There are many more stories, and each is inspiring. The program at the Laboure can change the lives of those who graduate and the many patients they will care for.

Kathleen Curran-Nigi isn’t

Jean Toussaint

frustrated, and in fact, is deeply respectful of her students who have encountered trauma and challenges and succeed, nonetheless. She and the other devoted staff assume the task of translating cultures and dealing with any number of issues that can come up in adult education with exacting learning goals. She is, though, already on the phone with major hospitals trying to see how quickly her students can be hired as she prints diplomas.

“These systems can be so slow, and there is a need, and these great people are ready to fill them,” she said shaking her head at a frustrating pace, but one she will work with until all eight are hired.

“You know, their lives are complicated, and they are ready to go, and are an excellent group,” she reiterates. She demonstrates love in her life’s work, and she will move mountains to have this group well placed and sustained in jobs that match their dignity.

Congratulations, graduates and hats off to the steadfast commitment of the Laboure Center to offer this vital community service.

Condon Program Supervisor Barbara Kelly greeted their guests warmly as they arrived. The guests then responded by enthusiastically taking part in the gift raff les and prizes.

There were two special high points during Tuesday evening’s “Time”, when the Condon Community Center conferred Awards. Mark McGonagle emceed the ceremonies while he was perched on an Amrhein’s chair. The first Award went to Jayden Bengoche, who was named the Center’s 2022 “Youth of the Year”. Mark called

Jayden “an all-around kid, who’s very smart – a real helper!” An official citation presented to Jayden by our State Rep. David Biele “offered its sincerest congratulations to Jayden Bengoche in recognition of his ‘Youth of the Year’ Award”.

And as Jayden received this Award, his fellow Condon Center members applauded him, while they chanted, “Jayden, Jayden, Jayden, …”. Gino Provenzano, a Sergeant in the Boston Police Department, received the second Award, recognizing that Gino had been named the Condon Center’s 2022 “Person of the Year”.

For the past several years, Gino

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 3 , 2022

has spent his Saturdays playing basketball with the Condon kids, keeping score during games, and leading cheers. Nowadays, he takes them on field trips and even helps them with their scholastic pursuits.

Best of all, Gino really understands and respects the Center’s young members. And they know it.

The Condon Community Center chose the place for its “Time” well; Amrhein’s still has the elegant appearance of South Boston’s “place to be”. The dinner buffet, prepared and served as only Amrhein’s can do it, was a classic – pizza, sliders, chicken cutlets, mac ‘n’ cheese, and

5

much more. You know the drill. It was gobbled up by guests of all ages; there was something for everyone.

More than 300 folks showed up and took part in the evening’s festivities.

As a kind of final editorial c om ment , t he C ondon Community Center’s “Time” was really outstanding.

It brought back memories of many similar, memorable “times” – before the pandemic struck us. These unique (and uniquely enjoyable) events became part of our lives in South Boston, as well as supporting many, many good works in the community.

Compass on the Bay Celebrates 2nd Annual Fall Fest

C

ompass on the Bay, a Memory Support A s si sted L iv i ng Community located on Columbia

Rd, took advantage of the vibrant foliage and crisp autumn air with their 2nd annual Fall Fest. There was fun for the whole family as residents and their loved ones got into the Halloween spirit with pumpkin decorating and face painting. Brave attendees took to the Dunk Tank for a refreshing splash amidst the bright sun.

Guests also enjoyed the creativity on display at their Resident Art Show, tried their luck at the raffle table, and grooved to some live

entertainment from Richie Berns.

After working up an appetite, there was plenty of room for baby back ribs, hot dogs, cornbread potato salad, and a dessert bar complete

with Del’s Lemonade snow cones!

The Fall Fest was a fantastic start to the upcoming cooler months, and the Compass on the Bay community cannot wait for the rest of the season.
