So What Now? Wait ‘til …

by Rick Winterson It was something of a shock to see the Red Sox succumb to Terry Francona’s Cleveland Indians in three games.

“Something of a shock?” Well, Cleveland had a slightly better regular season record and an identifiably better bullpen going in. In those three games,

we saw the Indians outscore the Sox 15 to 7 – more than double Boston’s output. And the Red Sox’ combined ERA for these three games was 5.00.

So, what could we expect?

Briefly, the plague of inconsistency that bothered the Red Sox most of this summer returned with a vengeance in October.

And it was a bittersweet

departure for David Ortiz, who is one of the few athletes to retire while still at the very top of his game, even though he’s just a month shy of 41 years old. There isn’t much South Boston Online can add to Big Papi’s legend, except to list (in awe) his three key final season statistics: a .315 batting average, an astronomical 127 runs batted in, and 38 home runs, which (by the way) is a record home run output for a hitter’s last season. His role as a DH and potential 2016 MVP is only matched by his gigantic, Boston-wide personality.

Many, many thanks, David But here’s the pitch: the baseball season need not be over for Boston fans. How about it if we root for a World Series between the Cleveland Indians, skippered by Sox alumnus Manager Terry Francona, and the Chicago Cubs, with Theo Epstein as President of Baseball Operations (translated: “Rebuilder”)?

It’s not that it has been two long World Series dry spells for the Indians (68 years) and the Cubs (108 years. Our sympathies, of course. What’s more important, both Francona and Epstein got their baseball management chops right here in Boston, with Red Sox teams that copped two World Series Championships under their guidance.

Cheering for the two of them – Tito and Theo - would be just like cheering for the home team.

Well, almost. And if Epstein’s Cubs take the World Series, he’d become a virtual shoo-in for the Hall of Fame. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a hometown boy make it to Cooperstown?

South Boston Online is rooting for the Cubs to go all the way. Yes, yes, we know that’s the National League, but the Cubs deserve it, after a .640 regular season and 103 wins. And more than a century of waiting.

it was a trip well worth taking.

Correction Officers

“Today, the 25 men and women in COTA Class 16-02 are no longer individuals,” said COTA Class 16-02 President Chelsea White. “We have faced many challenges during past 13 weeks, but have triumphed together and learned how to work as a team. I know that this class is capable of great things.

I am honored to call each and every one of you my classmates, my colleagues, my friends and my brothers and sisters.

Good luck and Godspeed.”

Welcoming the officers into their new careers, Superintendent Yolanda Smith thanked the graduates and gave special praise to the people who helped to make their individual and collective achievement possible.

“I’d like to thank all the family and friends of our new officers, because your compassion and support was a very important part of their success,” said Superintendent Yolanda Smith. “Tonight, I salute you as well, because their success is yours to cherish, too.”

To become a member of the Department’s custody staff, officer candidates must complete a comprehensive training that challenges participants both physically and mentally as it prepares them for life as a correction officer. Before coming online as officers, recruits must complete instruction in subjects that include ethics and professionalism, suicide prevention, the use of force continuum, firearm safety and handling, inmate education and programming, contraband control, courtroom testimony, CORI and inmate rights and responsibilities, fire safety, CPR, sexual harassment, cross– gender supervision and report writing, among a host of others.

For the participants of the academy, the road to success may often have been a challenging one that required great focus and dedication to navigate, but

Among the graduates of COTA Class 16-02 who received special recognition for performing over and above the norm were Robert Almanzi, who won the Drill Instructor’s Award; James Gorman, who took home the Unit Citation Award; Daniel Thom, who received the Physical Training Award; Kylie Willhoite, who garnered the Defensive Tactics Award; Jason Dunn, who earned the Top Gun Award, and Vu Pham, who earned the Academic Award with an impressive GPA (Grade Point Average) of 97.0.

Making up the balance of COTA Class 16-02 was: Christopher Allen, Joseph Baxter, Kaitlin Berardi, Luis Blanco, Laquane Bradham, Rayshawn Covington, Everton DeCastro, Michael Disabatino (COTA Class 16-02 Vice President), Robert Fish, Antonio Jones, Christos Koci, Tyrone Lovick, John Lupo, Edward Mejia, Kayla Murphy,

by Rick Winterson The Fort Point Theater Channel (FPTC) has produced many fine, memorable live performances over the past several years. One of the more remarkable of these was the first performance on October 1 of “Basra-Boston Connections” in the Atlantic Wharf performance space at 290 Congress Street. This stirring production, which was blessedly free to all, will be repeated on Friday evening, November 4 in Arts at the Armory in Somerville (191 Highland Avenue). Here again, admission will be free.

“Basra-Boston Connections” is one result of an Iraq-U.S. collaboration entitled The BostonBasra Project. “Connections” combines live theater, poetry, and music on a stags that actually uses studio arts like paintings and photography to create a flexible and striking performance space.

A high point of the evening was the music. By video from Basra, the University of Basra played “Panorama Joy” composed by Qays Owda Qasim.

An improvisation followed using the themes within “Panorama Joy” by Jorrit Dijkstra on

alto saxophone and Jeb Bishop on trombone. These improvisations were based upon the melodic lines within the original composition, which were then skillfully developed in ways that reminded this listener of American jazz techniques.

Performances continued with additional readings of poetry written by Elham al-Zabaedy and Mitch Manning. The performance ended with a another well-received staged reading entitled “Brides Look Forward”, written by Johnny E. Meyer, a U.S. veteran who served in Iraq, and directed by Kathryn Howell.

Nurture’s Proprietor and Lead Stylist Susan Devlin (shown above) is not only an artiste in what she does, she’s also a successful businesswoman. The surroundings inside Nurture, the party refreshments, and of course, Susan’s white-on-white 15th birthday cake were nothing short of elegant. The attendees, who included Jim Collins and Distillery art photographer P.T. Sullivan, had a ball. And Susan didn’t forget others, either – Nurture’s 15th Birthday Party was also a fundraiser in support of Cystic Fibrosis research and treatment.

GE Launches “Brilliant Career Labs” at Excel High

by Rick Winterson

General Electric has been making a multi-pronged effort to become part of the Boston community, with special emphasis on South Boston, where its new headquarters facility will be sited. Following the successful launch of “STEM Week” at the Perry School on Monday, October 3 (see Online’s October 6 issue, page four), GE and the City of Boston have since launched the “Brilliant Career Labs”. The date was Thursday afternoon, October 6, at 3:30; the location was Excel High School – more often still called “the High School” by local residents.

The GE Brilliant Career Lab is one of the key commitments the GE Foundation has made to the students and teachers in

own expression of gratitude.

Excel High School Headmaster Stephanie Sibley spoke of putting the Brilliant Career Lab right to work exploring college and career possibilities. Ann Klee, who is President of the GE Foundation and Vice President of Boston Development and Operations, summed the event up perfectly when she said, “We are thrilled to be here.”

Excel Headmaster Stephanie Sibley with Superintendent of Schools Tommy Chang the Boston Public School (BPS) system. It will be a major step towards building a so-called STEM career. “STEM” is actually an acronym that stands for “Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics”. The two most important words are in the

middle – “Technology, Engineering”. Sciences like biology, chemistry, and physics, along with several levels of mathematics, are already taught in Boston’s high schools. STEM newly introduces technology and engineering to the high school curriculum, which allows students to make more informed college and career selections in a highly technical world such as ours.

Mayor Marty Walsh spoke of how delighted he has been with GE’s coming to Boston, and thanked them for their commitment to our community. School Committee Chair Michael O’Neill and BPS Superintendent Tommy Chang added their

The Brilliant Career Lab is part of a commitment that GE made to Boston, which involves close collaboration with the BPS. It allows students to learn workplace skills, find new interests, explore potential careers, look at the available job markets, and experience technology all in one space. Five careers that can be explored with this Brilliant Career Lab include Software/ Game Development, Machining with Numerical Control, Biomedical Engineering, Wearable Technology Design, and Airplane Mechanics – all challenging, fast-growing, well paid career fields. An important part of this entire endeavor are steps like Interest Assessment and Essential Skills, which enable each student to rank herself/ himself correctly and are features of the GE Brilliant Career Lab.

Did you know that Conley Container Terminal is a leader in Clean Port Technology?

Every day, the Port of Boston is making a difference in people’s lives; the shoes we wear, the furniture we buy, the cars we drive, the oil we heat our homes with, the toys our children play with --- all travel through the Port of Boston. Massport’s Conley Container Terminal has achieved back-to-back record breaking years for volume in FY15 and FY16, enabling more products to get to you.

Massport is working hard to balance our roles as an economic engine, a good neighbor, and an environmental steward.

Our efforts include:

• Clean Trucks

We replaced 60 old freight trucks with newer, cleaner diesel trucks at a cost of $3 million funded by Massport, truck owners and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As a result, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide have all been significantly reduced. And we are starting to replace another 26 trucks that will generate even more environmental benefits.

• Clean Cranes

Conley Terminal’s ship-to-shore cranes are powered by electricity, not diesel fuel.

• Retrofitting Cranes

We’re using EPA funding to retrofit five diesel-powered rubber tire gantry cranes used to load and unload trucks and reposition containers within the yard at Conley Container Terminal. The retrofitted cranes will conserve fuel, reduce noise and significantly reduce emissions.

As a result of our efforts, particulate matter at Conley Container Terminal has declined 20% since 2011. In 2015, Conley Container Terminal received a national Breathe Easy Leadership Award for reducing harmful diesel emissions beyond what is required by law, and promoting clean transportation in the Northeast.

She’s a beautiful, young girl who is enjoying life and all that it has to offer. Her name is Keren Tyrell.

Keren, 13, is the daughter of Ralph and Aracelly Tyrell. She has four older brothers; Christopher, Christian, Ralph, and Sergei. She’s in the eighth grade at the John W. McCormack Middle School which is located on Mount Vernon Street in nearby Dorchester. This school is dedicated to the “academic excellence for every student” and prides itself on their quality teaching in the classrooms. The school’s team structure translates into a friendly environment to students and families alike; committed to the arts by offering courses in music, vocal music, drama, strings, and a variety of arts programs.

Keren said that she is doing well in school, her favorite subject is every subject, and someday plans on being a doctor so she can help people live a happy, carefree life.

Her favorite color is red, her favorite food is various salads; and her favorite TV show is “Teen Wolf” which first aired in June of 2011.

This show is about an awkward teen bitten by a werewolf and becomes one afterwards. He changes, some

“I would make everything newer,” she added. “If there were dead trees, I would plant new ones.

I would build modern buildings.

In her leisure time, Keren enjoys going outside and hanging with her friends. She likes playing Manhunt and Survival. She also reads as much as she can. She’s currently reading “This Shattered World.” Written by Meagan Spooner, this science fiction adventure centers around rebellious colonists, who are exploited by

greedy corporations, and whose promise of a better life on a terraformed planet is never fulfilled.

Keren is a thoughtful girl and would simply love to live on Pennsylvania Avenue as our President.

“I would start by having a swimming pool in every school,” she said. “Kids could have fun, get some

“I would help the poor have better lives,” Keren further stated.

“I would like everyone to choose and own awesome, new cars or bikes, and have jobs for people who need them. I would also try to lower crime and train the police better so they can protect the people who need them.”
