Curley Center Renewal: First Meeting

Congressman Steve Lynch is one of several officials there.

t was a full house at the Curley Center on Day Boulevard. Last Monday evening, the 30th. Several hundred concerned residents of South Boston and members of the Curley Center from all over the City (and beyond) showed up for the first introductory community meeting about the project to renew the Curley Community Center – commonly

Coffee With A Cop

known as “the L”. The meeting convened right at 6 p.m. It took the following format: Overview, Cha llenges, Oppor tunities, Schedule, and Discussion (including a Question-and-Answer session that lasted for nearly an hour). Boston’s City of Operations Patrick Brophy hosted the meeting .

South Boston Online is referring to this project as a “renewal” for several reasons. The project as described at Monday’s meeting will deal with every portion of the L’s structure, as well as preparing it to accept many new programs, while retaining most of the current ones.

Part of the project’s justification is to update the L, in conformance with current legal requirements – access, safety, and so on. And the project is planned to cover all foreseeable directions the L may take in the future, perhaps as far out as a full

On Wednesday morning, the Mayor and Officers met with many local residents at Starbucks in South South Boston as part of National Coffee with a Cop Day. The event brings men and women in uniform together with their communities to connect over a cup of joe. The day is dedicated to encourage communication and positive interaction between law enforcement agencies and the public.

Curley Center Meeting generation from now. The verbs ‘repair”, “renovate” and “refurbish” simply do not cover everything discussed. This will be a project that combines existing programs with new, multi-generational offerings.

The Overview mentioned that the Curley, a quarter-mile long structure, has a sum of $16 million authorized for the renewal project at this time. According to the officials present, more could be obtained, in order to make the project last into the “next generation”. The renewal’s Challenges include handicapped access, safety and proper alarms, and the damage expected from rising sea levels.

This latter Challenge means that all operations, equipment, and electrical supplies must be raised up and redone.

Generally, the Opportunities can be summed up as improving the quality of life for all members, as well as the surrounding neighborhood. That includes all ages and backgrounds; the most viable programs will be retained.

The venerable (and perhaps historic?) Curley Center façade at the foot of L. Favorable comparisons were made with the new facilities in East Boston and the Vine Street Center in Roxbury. Initially, the presenters mentioned Scheduling that included a year for planning, and then another year for construction. The construction interval later became 18 months, which would be a shutdown period, during which half or threequarters of the L’s current programs would be curtailed. South Boston Online feels that two years would

be a better construction estimate, stretching from late in 2020 most of the way through 2021 and 2022.

Questions asked during the Discussion included continuance of the popular senior lunches (Yes), and the possibility of performing the Curley upgrades gradually in steps (an emphatic No). Requests to retain handball and to bring back boxing were noted. Mention was made of the historic nature of the L. It was pointed out that the Charlestown Community Center,

a smaller facility, took three years to complete. The reception of the overall proposal, although indefinite right now, was cordial and positive.

There is still the overall question of whether to do this project at all.

Should the Curley Center shut down for two years? Or should it stay open while smaller improvements, limited to $16 million, are made instead? How do you determine the answer to this? Simple! Just ask each of the Curley Center’s members between now and the end of 2019.

tate Senator Nick Collins testified last week on a piece of legislation, S.866, An Act Relative to Saving Lives, designed to save lives by amending Section 35 to allow for those suffering from addiction to be committed to a public health facility by a justice of the court even though the court may be closed for business.

As it stands, individuals who are suffering from a substance use disorder who present a likelihood of serious harm can be involuntarily committed for treatment for up to 90 days, pending a petition from a police officer, physician, spouse, blood relative, guardian, or court official, and a court hearing. However, that process is only available when the court is open for business, eight hours a

day, five days a week. That means that for 75% of the hours in a week, this life saving intervention is not available.

“As the opioid abuse epidemic continues to affect individuals and families from all corners of the State, it is imperative that we are exploring all options to save lives and get people on the road to recovery” said Senator Nick Collins State. “Addiction does not care what time of day it is, or what day of the week it is. Our intervention options and treatment services should never be closed for business. It is a matter of life and death.”

This language of this bill was previously passed in the Massachusetts State Senate by a vote of 33-4 as part of a 2018 debate on substance abuse. The Joint Committee on the Judiciary will now consider the issue.

Water – A Simple Blessing

by Rick Winterson

F

resh water is something we take for granted in South Boston.

Perhaps that’s as it should be, but occasionally it pays to recall that water is one of the few substances that are absolutely essential to us.

Stated more simply and starkly: No Water, No Life! Nowadays, we can turn on our faucets and get an everlasting supply of this vital, life-giving ingredient. We really don’t even notice our water unless there’s a problem – a leaking pipe or a rusty discoloration.

But the blessing of always pure, always drinkable, always ava ilable water ha sn’t been around that long. Less than 200 years ago, the purest water came from small wells. Water supplies simply didn’t exist in cities, except for those horse-drawn tankwagons where a household could buy a day’s supply of water – just bring your own bucket, and then put a dipper in it for everyone to drink from.

There was no purification, f iltration, or any other form of treatment that was used to make water safe and pleasant to d rin k when you were thirst y.

There was a dim

A view of the Wachusett Reservoir, an integral part of the Boston water supply system, which is located about halfway between Quabbin Reservoir and here. understa nd ing t hat boiling water before using it could somehow make it safer, which may have been the reason that tea, coffee, and hot chocolate became so popular around here.

The Walter Baker Chocolate Co. f irst set up business in Dorchester’s Lower Mills over 250 years ago, in 1767. Six years later in 1773, the Boston Tea Party (the most famous party in history) took place.

You might be interested to know that one of the first major steps in providing pure water wa s developed by a

woman named Ellen Henrietta Swallow R ichards. She was the f irst fema le student at M.I.T. , enrolling there in the 1870s when M.I.T. was located near Copley Square and was nick na med “Boston Tech ”.

Ms. R ichards was recognized as a scientif ic authorit y on air and water quality, and she discovered that chlorination was an effective way to kill almost all bacteria in water supplies. If the Nobel prizes had been around in 1870-1880, she might have been nominated.

Certainly, it could be argued that pure water may have been the most important factor in human health ever discovered.

For almost 100 years now, Boston has enjoyed a bountiful, uninterrupted supply of pure, fresh water, which begins in the Quabbin Reser voir (once upon a time a lake), passes over the Ware Watershed, and makes a stop midway in the smaller Wachusetts Reservoir.

It is then treated, piped, and distributed in Boston via large storage facilities. Overall, our water system is a remarkable engineering a c h i e v e m e nt .

And the work goes on. As recently as 1995, excessive lead was found in Boston water. Much of this came from old lead pipes in individual households, most of them now replaced with copper plumbing. Current lead levels in Boston’s water average a low, safe 10 parts per billion (ppb). A ppb is extremely minute – something like a single, tiny grain of dust in a large 55-gallon drum of water.

But if you want to doublecheck your household pipes, just ask your plumber to look them over.

Councilors Flynn & Flaherty Host South Boston Office Hours Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn and Councilor At-Large Michael Flaherty will hold Neighborhood Office Hours this Saturday at the South Boston Branch Library (646 East Broadway) from 12:00pm-1:30pm. Residents are encouraged to bring constituent and neighborhood issues directly to the Councilors and their staff.

“As elected officials who reside in South Boston, it is important for us to continue to bring City Hall services to each of our neighborhoods,” said Councilor Flynn and Councilor Flaherty in a joint statement. “This is an opportunity for us to be in the community over the weekend and hear from our residents directly about their concerns regarding pedestrian safety, development issues, our parks and libraries.”

Lighthouses Come to Andrew Square

by Rick Winterson

S

outh Boston has had what has now become a tradition of lighthouses. Originally, with the help of Dan McCole, South Boston’s watercolorist laureate, the Health Center’s Youth Ambassadors had designed and crafted lighthouses that adorned the light poles all along Broadway. These saw considerable exhibition duty a few years back, and South Boston Online is pleased to announce this custom has returned.

Numerous artists, again under the guidance of Dan McCole, have

created a new set of lighthouses that are the artistic equals of the originals. They have been attached to light poles along West Broadway until the recent Street Festival. Now, with the aid of three volunteers from Carpenters Local 327 on Mass Ave., they are bringing notable touches of color to the area in and all around Andrew Square. The many artists who made them have signed the lighthouses on the back. Check them out.

Thanks go out to them, to Dan, to Paul Conley, and to the three Local 327 volunteers – Mike Davey, Mark Dellascio, and Pat McGarty.

The Andrew Square lighthouse crew: (from l.) Mike Davey, Mark Dellascio, Dan McCole, Paul Conley, and Pat McGarty – Mike, Mark, and Pat are volunteers from Carpenters Local 327.

RECOMMENDED: “Pagliacci” No, it’s not being performed in South Boston. Perhaps the most famous of all operas, “Pagliacci” composed by Leoncavallo, is in the Steriti Memorial Rink on Canal Street in the North End (but don’t worry, all of the rink’s ice has melted). The renowned Boston Lyric Opera Company (the BLO) has staged in a striking way – part circus and part opera, and all strikingly colorful. Half the evening is on a striking circus midway. The opera, which is only 75 minutes long, takes place on a remarkable stage. “Pagliacci” closes Sunday, October 6.

To Our Family, Friends and Neighbors:

Planes Over Southie (Nowadays)

At intervals of about every two minutes last weekend.

I can’t thank you enough for all the support and encouragement I have received since the news went out of my battle with Stage 4 Sarcoidosis.

To walk into Florian Hall on Friday, September 13th and to see all that has been done for my family and I still leaves me emotional and speechless. You cannot imagine how much strength your support has given me during this difficult time.

It’s a valid question: What’s to be done about the noise? You have probably been bothered, or even robbed of that last bit of sleep early in the morning, by the incessant takeoffs from and landings into Logan Airport.

More and more of them are being routed over South Boston, in patterns that occur every two minutes or so.

Takeoffs were especially loud late last week – September 26-27. Congressman Lynch (among others) has been talking with the FA A about

this.

As you know, Logan is under study to see how to expand air traffic (big time!), and Massport is currently looking into alternates – alternates that could add to traffic, air pollution, and noise, noise, noise. Is there a possibility to approach the Logan traffic issues by using other airports?

Worcester Airport is about 40 miles away, but it’s only a regional facility.

Theodore Green A irport in Rhode Island is an international facility but is over 50 miles from here. At first, any transport plan that includes Worcester and Teddy Green may seem unlikely, but we have a right to ask We don’t know the answers.

All we can do is keep asking.

“W hat’s to be done about the noise?” Especially noise from early-morning takeoffs, which are far louder than d ay t i me /e ve n i n g l a nd i n g s .

Tara, Madison, Maeve and Andrew – thank you for your love and support and for being by my side as we navigate this difficult journey together. I know it’s not easy but I’m truly blessed to have you here with me.

To our families, especially Amanda Neff and Tina Roche, and to the many volunteers that made my Friendship Party a success, I am very humbled and wowed by all the support. I am extremely grateful and appreciative of your commitment and hard work. I will forever be thankful.

To those that showed their support by donating raffle items, purchasing tickets to the event and purchasing various raffle tickets – your generosity has not gone unnoticed and I thank you very much.

Even two at a time occasionally.

To the local Unions, foundations and businesses, elected officials, the staff at Florian Hall, Kenny Manning and Jimmy LeBlanc – your kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity was incredible and I am so thankful to you all.

My family and I feel so blessed to be part of such amazing communities. Thank you for your continued support as I face the challenges ahead.

Our Most Sincere Gratitude.

Tommy Hally

Yes, they do come in “low and large” now and then.

In Defense of the Defense

by Rick Winterson

Y

ou don’t have to be told that the New England Patriots are 4-0 so far in their regular season.

Nor do you have to be reminded that New England’s defense has been the key reason for the Pats’ dominance so far this year But South Boston Online b e l ie v e s t he r e ’s a not he r way to measure the home team’s defense.

It’s by the numbers, a ll the numbers.

In their first game against Pittsburgh, the Pats’ defense allowed the Steelers to score just three (3) points. Their second game against the Miami Dolphins was a blowout at 43-0.

In their third game against the New York Jets, New York scored 14 points. But both these scores came from mistakes - a muffed punt return by Olszewski (special teams) and an intercepted pass

from the Pats’ backup QB Stidham (offense), which New York returned for a touchdown (a.k.a. “pick-six”, if you like the current NFL jargon – let’s hope that term doesn’t last beyond the regular season this year).

The upshot: No p oi nt s a l lowe d by t he defense in Ga me T hree.

Add in the measly 10

points scored in Game 4 by the Buffalo Bills – at home in New Era Field, yet – and you get 13 total points let in by the New England defense so far in 2019.

That’s just a shade more than four (4) points per game. Whew!

Then add in the defensive scores generated in Game Two by two late-game interceptions returned for touchdowns against

Miami by Stephen Gilmore and Jamie Collins. The defense actua lly scored t welve (12) points in that game. And what about that blocked punt return yesterday, which meant six (6) points scored by Matthew Slater.

If you add that six (6) points onto the twelve (12) scored by the defense in Game Two, that’s a total of eighteen (18) points in the plus column so far this season.

This is to take nothing away from the Pats’ offense.

Despite a disappointing game against Buffalo, the Pats have scored a total of 122 points in their f irst four games, mostly put up there by the Brady Bunch. Not bad at all.

But the Pats defense has outdone all of its opponents in total, by scoring 18 points versus only 12 total points that they allowed. That’s truly remarkable!

South Bay Will Host Its First Annual “DOToberfest” Celebration

A Rosh Hashanah Eve table is shown, with symbolic food and a ram’s horn (shofar). Last Sunday, September 29, was the Jewish New Year Eve of 5780 – Rosh Hashanah means “Head of the Year” on the Hebrew calendar now in use. Traditionally, it was also the day of the year when God created Adam and Eve. The shofar is blown for “a good year” with no tragedies. Among the foods are a pomegranate symbolizing wealth, and a carrot, which means “increase”. Savory brisket, along with two kinds of challa bread (with and without raisins), are featured.

Happy New Year, everyone.

On October 3, 2019 EDENS South Bay will kick off an Octoberfestthemed celebration, “DOToberfest”, which will run from October 3-27.
