CLinehan Announces Funding for 5th St Park

“By all these lovely tokens Septem-

ber days are here, with summer’s

best of weather and autumn’s best

of cheer.” (Helen Hunt Jackson)

ouncilor Bill Linehan is proud to announce that he was able to secure over half a mil-lion dollars for the complete renovation of

Sweeney Playground (5th Street Park) in this year’s budget. All of the old equipment will be removed and new modern equipment will be installed. The final design of the new park was completed after the Boston Parks Department held three public meetings at the Condon School to incorporate res-ident ideas. Groundbreaking is expected within the next few weeks. Many factors mentioned by neighbors and residents were incorporated into this design. Con-struction will work around the mature trees, and some new shrubs will be planted. The basketball court will be kept but will be repaved and rede-signed to include the markings for a wiffle ball field. Modern, interactive climbing equipment for all ages will be installed. Sight lines from both Fifth and Gold Streets will be improved for public safety purposes. “Since being elected I’ve made it a priority to see that our public parks in my district get the attention they deserve. Most of the parks in my district have seen improvements and investment

over that time. The new scheme of Fifth Street Park includes a forward thinking design so that it has something for all age groups and so the space can be used in different ways,” said Councilor Linehan. You can contact Councilor Linehan’s Office at 617-635-3203 or email at [email protected]. You can also follow him on facebook, Bill Linehan, and Twitter @linehanbill.

COUNCILOR LINEHAN RESPONDS TO GLOBE ON SCHOOL COMMITTEE

“LIKE” SOUTH BOSTON ONLINE’S FACEBOOK FANPAGE AT FACEBOOK.COM/SOUTHBOSTONONLINEFANS

The recent Boston Globe editorial (School-board appointments shouldn’t require council input, 9/12/13) that op-poses confirmation of Mayoral appoint-ments to the Boston School Committee by the Boston City Council is ill con-ceived. Parents, residents and taxpay-ers alike want greater input into who is selected to serve on the Boston School Committee.

To set the record straight: •Theoriginalreferendumof1989sent to the voters asking for a yes vote on appointing our School Committee in-cluded that all appointments would be “confirmed by the Boston City Council.” •Isupportedthatreferendumandworked on the campaign to get it passed. Ray Flynn was Mayor at the time. •StateLawrequiresaHomeRule

Petition to be passed by the State gov-ernment to change the Charter of Bos-ton. Confirmation of School Committee members was removed in that process in 1990, even though the voters approved City Council confirmation in the origi-nal referendum. •AstheChairofEconomicDevel-opment and Planning, I routinely holdhearings and move confirmations to the entire Council on vital Mayoral appoint-ments Boston Redevelopment Authori-ty Board, Landmarks Commission, andZoningBoardofAppeals.Otherconfir-mations are required by law for mayoral appointments by the City Council. • Confirmation of appointmentsdoes not give the Council the ability to directlyinfluencedecisions.ItgivestheCouncil the ability to vet appointees and to interface with committee members on

behalf of residents. Councilor Baker filed a HomeRule Petition to change the makeup of the School Committee, a bold move but oneIdidnotsupport.ThepetitionIof-fered is not only a compromise but aligns withtheoriginalreferendum.Ahearingwill be held on the matter on September 26thbytheChairofGovernmentOpera-tions. This law change will build on the existing referendums intent and will al-low for greater input by residents on who should serve on the Boston School Com-mittee. This is not council interference; it is about access and opportunity for in-put by those who do not fully agree with the Mayor’s appointments.

Bill LinehanBoston City Councilor, District 2

BY RICK WINTERSON You have heard this be-fore, certainly from South Boston Online and probably from many other media as well. It’s time for all of us to get up, get out, and de-cide who to vote for next Tuesday, September 24. It is a workday, but the polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m allowing a window of voting time before and after most work schedules. On the morning of next Tuesday, September 24, the citi-zens of Boston will enter “no ex-cuse land”, because that’s the day of the Primary Elections for May-or of Boston and for City Coun-cilors-at-Large. This Primary is critical; it will significantly nar-

row the field of candidates for both Boston’s Mayor and its City Councilors-at-Large. The candidates who re-main in the running for the Gen-eral Election on November 5 will have the political power and (we hope) the wisdom to set the course of our City for years, and perhaps decades to come. And that’s very important. Oddly enough, this is one of those so-called “political off-years”, since it’s between Presi-dential election years. And sec-ondly, it’s an odd-numbered year, too – not 2014 in other words, when federal elections for the Senate and for Congress will take place. As a third strike, the up-coming election on September 24

is a Primary Election – primaries usually have a low turnout. But please remember: you’ll get who you vote for. If you don’t vote, you’ll get someone else - someone that others have voted for. How should you vote in a crowded field so full of good can-didates? Three months ago in our June 13 issue, South Boston On-line recommended that you base your vote on the issues facing the City of Boston. We said then that Boston’s biggest issues are badly lagging public education, drugs, and uncontrolled development. Last week, we endorsed John Connolly as the best Mayoral candidate to resolve those prob-lems.

You will, of course, vote for your own choice of candidates. But please think about Boston’s key issues before marking your ballot. Then, vote for the can-didates who’ll best deal with the issues that are most important to you. Even though it’s a Prima-ry Election in an odd numbered off-year, September 24 is an im-portant day for political choices – your political choices. It’s as important an Election Day for the City of Boston as any we have seen. For the City of Boston’s sake, stand up and be counted. Please vote this coming Tuesday, September 24.

Please Vote, It’s as Important as It’s Ever Been

Over a career of proven leadership on issues of importance to the City of Boston, especially in support of working families, public safety and education, Michael Flaherty always put the people of Boston first. He is not afraid to tackle the tough issues like gun violence and drug prevention and rehabilitation. For these reasons, I am proud to endorse and support my friend and neighbor Michael Flaherty for City Council At-Large. With a new mayor about to be elected, we need an independent voice on the City Council.

Join Representative Nick Collins in supporting our friend and neighor,

South Boston’s own, Michael Flaherty.

Crime: the Number One Problem for the Next Mayor I’m intrigued reading some of the public opinion polls and listening to report-ers talk about voter attitudes, the popularity of politicians and issues of the day. I often wonder, how can it be that people say that they like a certain elected official, even when they acknowledge that conditions in their life and community have gotten worse? Since I have been out of elected of-fice, I probably have learned more about the concerns of people than I ever did before. I now have more of an opportunity to listen to far more people tell me what’s important to them and their families. I often walk several hours a day with my grandson Braeden and you certainly meet and talk to many people in South Boston, downtown and across the city. Naturally, politicians want to create a reputation that they are everywhere. But be-lieve me, that’s more about image. The pub-lic usually only gets to meet a leading gov-ernment official at a ceremonial event, such as a lighting of a Christmas tree, cutting a ribbon at a new neighborhood business, or attending a civic celebration. And rarely do these officials have the opportunity to have

a serious discussion with them about a par-ticular issue of concern. So you have to ask yourself, where do the politicians come up these issues to talk about? The answer is probably from a few members of their staff or from people in the media. Monday, I participated in a televi-sion interview about the recent shootings and crime in South Boston. The reporter listed the specific violent crimes that have occurred in the town recently. “Are people concerned,” he asked. “Yes, indeed they certainly are. And in my opinion, the candidates for mayor should talk more openly about the growing crime problem and what they intend to do about it. We don’t want to hear crime statistics. We have more drug dealing than any time ever,” I responded. “We also have other factors that pol-iticians don’t like to talk about because they are afraid of offending liberal elites. After drugs, I would point to the unhealthy cul-tural changes taking place in society. Today, many children are now growing up with no fathers in their homes. Fewer people are at-tending church and many children are not receiving any religious or moral training. We have a failed public school system

that doesn’t demand discipline or account-ability. Another government program can’t solve these social problems, only a family can. If I were running for public office, my focus would be on strengthening the family. Give parents who want to send their chil-dren to private and parochial schools a tax break. A return to police officers walking the neighborhoods is desperately needed today in Boston. Yes, we have other serious issues facing the people of our city, but the crime problem will only be dealt with effectively, when people demand more police offices walking the neighborhoods and with the in-volvement of its residents. The time to start is now, by talking to the candidates. Let them know how you feel. We have a proud heritage and tradi-tion here in Boston, but it got that way be-cause of the dedication, sacrifice and hard work of many good families. We must always remember that it was these same dedicated families and concerned neighborhood peo-ple who made our city special. Boston is still worth fighting for. Ray Flynn is the former Mayor of Boston and U.S. Ambassador to the Vat-ican.

The sunny, calm Vietnam Memorial decorated for its 32nd Dedication.

The Color Guard approaches the Vietnam Memorial in Medal of Honor Park.

BY RICK WINTERSON

Vietnam Memorial Rededicated It seems that each rededi-cation of South Boston’s Vietnam Memorial commands fine, sunny weather. The warm brightness on Sunday was tempered by the deeper shadows of fall – a subtle reminder of the solemnity of the occasion. The Vietnam Memorial, which is located in the green area that forms Medal of Honor Park (the renamed M Street Park), is the first such memorial in the nation. It was dedicated in Sep-tember 1981, 32 years ago – six months before the National Mon-ument in Washington, D.C. The carefully trimmed and decorated grounds around the central stone of black marble

were matched by the precision of the Marine Color Guard as they entered the Park. The Boston Fire Department Pipe & Drum Brigade played the accompaniment.

The speaking program was an-nounced by Tom Lyons, and it in-cluded Sen. Linda Dorcena Forry, Rep. Nick Collins, and City Coun-cilor Bill Linehan. Each expressed

a deep gratitude to those 25 who gave their lives in Vietnam, and to their families. Lt. Gen. Robert E. Mil-stead, Jr., USMC, was the rededi-cations keynote speaker. He spoke of how such events are those who remain, that we not forget, and find some joy in the freedom that was earned for us. He quoted the comparatively obscure fourth verse from the National Anthem – “Thus be it ever …”, followed by the euphony of the words “Must”, “Just”, and “Trust”. Three wreaths were em-placed, and then roses were laid at the foot of the Memorial for each name solemnly read aloud. The BFD Brigade closed the ceremony by softly playing “Amazing Grace”, and the Colors were struck.

The BFD pipes and drums accompany the rededication of the Vietnam Memorial.

The South Boston Stars, our AAU Basketball Team got their first win of the season, beating the Wayland Wizards 28-19 in the highly compete-tive Waltham AAU Basketball League. The Stars used their strong team defense to shut down Wayland In the first half. Our defense is our key, Stars head coach Marc Iannaco says, with the athletes we have we try to fast break all the time. That doesn’t work if we don’t stop them on defense. The stars used great passing, between their big men to get a couple of quick baskets. Once they got the lead they played on their own terms. I have some players who know how to control a game. Once we got the lead we could do pretty much what we wanted. For the Stars, Joey Brink was outstanding with 10 points, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 16 rebounds. Tyler Wolfe had

3 assists, and 4 rebounds. Jake Harrison had 6 points,6 steals, and 4 rebounds. They were solid. It was a total team effort. All the guys helped get this win. It wasn’t perfect, but we will learn from this and try to get better. The South Boston Stars would like to thank all of our private, small busi-ness, and corporate support-ers for making our fundraiser a success. Special thanks to Representative Nick Collins, Touchie McDonough, family and friends. We appreciate the support that the South Boston Community has shown us and look forward to the next game. --Thank you Coach Marc

Stars Get First Win of the Season!

“Only allow soldiers to have guns and nobody else, would have school end in early June, and not late June, so kids can have more fun in the summertime…and would make sure kids got free ice creams during the summer.”

I would like to take this opportunity to let people know how loyal and dedicated Martin J. Walsh, candidate for the Mayor of Boston, was to me during a very difficult time in my life. Through Marty’s efforts and dedication I was able to become a Union Laborer and a proud member of Local 223. I will always remember the importance of someone still believing in me, when very few people did. Words could never express my gratitude for the pivotal role Marty played, and the positive effect it had on me, getting my life back on track. I am certain he will have the same effect on the City of Boston. If there is anyone in South Boston who is uncertain on a candidate, please remember Martin J. Walsh, on September 24, 2013.

--Sincerely Edward J. O’Brien
