The West Roxbury RoslindaleRotary Club honored Rose’sBounty Director Darra Slagle onFriday, June 7 during its annualPaul Harris Awards Dinner at theStratford Street Church.

The church is also the locationof the food pantry, and while Slaglesaid she was appreciative of thehonor, she made sure everyoneknew it was a gigantic team effort.

“It’s very difficult for me be-cause I don’t like to be singled out,this is such a group effort,” she said.“It’s really a community effort. Ihave so many people who volunteer– I shouldn’t even say I – we have100-plus regular volunteers andthey come in at different times forall the different programs. I have

two gals running the veterans pro-gram, two gals running the backpackprogram making sure they’re filledwith nutritious food, it’s such a col-laborative effort I feel almost unde-serving because there are so manypeople involved.”

And they are all needed, as foodinsecurity becomes more and morerampant in the city as a whole and inthe Parkway in particular.

“We had a record number ofpeople coming in just last week. Wehad over 100 families on Saturdaycome into the food pantry and we hadover 100 on Tuesday,” she said.“Tuesday is usually fewer people. It’sunfortunate, but I’m so happy wehave the means to get people food. Ifeel very, very blessed. I have to saytoo, if it wasn’t for my husbandLampros Minos, I wouldn’t be ableto put in the hours that I have to do

this. I want to thank him too.”Stratford Street Church’s Rev.

Abigail Henrich is also a memberof the Rotary, and said the consen-sus in picking Slagle was verystrong among the board, and shehas seen Slagle’s work in the com-munity first hand.

“There was 20,000 pounds offood unloaded today, tons of freshfruit and vegetables. Because ofthis we’re able to do the elder andveterans delivery programs,” shesaid. “So there’s about 20,000pounds of food that comes in ev-ery month, and then every week wemight get 5,000 more pounds offresh meat, dairy things like that.”

The pantry began three yearsago when the West Roxbury FoodPantry closed down, and the group

West Roxbury Main Streets(WRMS) hosted a technical assistancepanel from the Urban Land Institute(ULI) Boston/New England. The pre-sentation took place on June 11th atthe Theodore Parker Church. ULIBoston evaluated West Roxbury’s eco-nomic and development outlook alongCentre Street, and the scope of thestudy included street design, retail andhousing mix, zoning, placemaking,wayfinding, and other factors for WestRoxbury to consider in future plan-ning and development.

The ULI Boston/New Englandstudy seeks to answer the followingquestions:

Which sections of Centre Street arethe most critical areas to focus on interms of making significant andimpactful change? What types ofchanges are recommended in thosesections and why are these areas mostlikely to be successful? Which prop-erties are the most important to focuson? Are there specific uses that pan-elists feel are lacking that should befocused on?

The presentation given on June11th showed preliminary findings, anda final, physical report will be pro-vided in the upcoming months after afurther study. Nyal McDonough ofULI opened the presentation by ex-plaining that he “lived on StratfordStreet at one point in time” and is “fa-miliar with Centre Street and the chal-

lenges it poses.’’Jim Hefferman, of Navern

Partners, LLC, discussed Cen-tre Street’s assets and oppor-tunities as well as its chal-lenges. He discussed the factthat Centre Street is the cen-ter of West Roxbury and hasnodes of activities.

“It reflects West Roxbury’scommunity pride and engage-ment,” he stated. He also dis-cussed Centre Street’s mul-tiple transportation options,such as the commuter rail andMBTA buses.

“Centre Street is a verycar-focused street,”Hefferman remarked. “That isa real safety concern for pe-destrians and cyclists. Thereare long waits at the intersec-tions for pedestrians.”

He noted that the streetdesign “does not serve pedes-trians, cyclists, and retailshoppers.” Hefferman be-lieves Centre Street shouldconduct a “parking utilizationstudy”.

He noted that there is“underutilized parking”, andbelieves the commuter railstations should provide freeparking to people who want touse the businesses on theweekend. He explained twohour parking may be too longon Centre Street, and busi-nesses may benefit from hav-ing 30 minute parking instead.

Alykhan Mohamed, an ur-ban planner, discussed pos-sible ideas that could improvesafety for all users on CentreStreet. For vehicular traffic,Mohamed suggested dedi-cated turn lanes. For pedes-trian/retail shoppers’ traffic,he recommended more stoplights, more crosswalks, andsigns with flashing lights. Forcyclists, Mohamed proposeda dedicated bike lane and aphysical buffer from vehicles.

After the presentation,WRMS and ULI Bostonopened up the floor for ques-tions and comments from thepublic. Marty Keogh, a WestRoxbury resident and memberof the West Roxbury Civic Im-provement Association stated,“Everyone here in this roomknows we have a problem onCentre Street.”

Keogh recommended morestop lights, more signs withflashing lights, more policepresence and Smart Lights forCentre Street. He also voicedhis concern with reducinglanes on Centre Street (alsoknown as a “traffic diet”).Keogh believes that wouldsend a lot of Centre Streettraffic onto side streets, wherethey would speed and poten-tially hurt another pedestrianor children.

“If they want to take thedeaths off Centre and put

them on my street they’re outof their mind. It’s been dan-gerous our entire lives, it’snever going to be safe,”Keogh said in an earlier inter-view.

Another meeting attendeevoiced her concern about thetraffic at Holy Name rotary,and believes people need to beslower getting on to the rotaryand getting off.

Many of the meeting attend-ees were small business ownerson Centre Street. A lot of thepeople in the room had not heardabout the meeting until themorning before. “There needs tobe more community engage-ment,” stated one communitymember.

This meeting should not beconfused with the June 20thmeeting, in which City of Bos-ton officials will present a pro-posal on the redesign of CentreStreet. The community is encour-aged to attend that importantevent, which will take place at6:30pm at the Holy Name gym.


TraditionWhen my brother-in-law

Frank as a young boy noticed thatflags were suddenly hanging out-side along his mid-western streeton his birthday, he assumed thatthe Bedford Falls-like commu-nity in which he lived was toast-ing his natal day with this displayof Americana. Unremarkable tosay, it was also Flag Day. He didnot understand the tradition ofJune 14.

In “Fiddler on the Roof” theaudience hears much of the im-portance of tradition, as the playand the movie both open withTevye and others singing aboutit robustly. With so many of us,both very young and very old,tradition plays such an importantrole in our lives. With youngstersall one has to say, “This is theway we did it last year/month/week” and a tradition has beenestablished.

Here in Boston there are largetraditions, such as the Fourth ofJuly Concert with its cannons forthe “1812 Overture,” performedbefore hundreds of thousands aswell as a national television au-dience, lesser traditions such asthe Little League parades involv-ing a section of the city, and smaller traditions involving aneighborhood, such as the read-ing of the Declaration of Inde-pendence at the opening ofBuchanan Road’s IndependenceDay block party.

A wonderful, close-to-Bostontradition was recently revealed tome by a city resident who playsSaturday morning softball withsuburbanites in distant Wayland. Their softball diamonds——they face each other with an over-lapping center field—are situatedkitty-corner on a square townblock, on one side of which is afuneral home.

Whenever the casket is beingtransferred from the funeralhome to a hearse for the proces-sion to a church or cemetery, oneof the observant players bellows,“Funeral!” At this time all playstops on both diamonds, playersrespectfully doff their hats, andhopefully silently pray for thedeceased and his/her survivors asthe funeral cortege slowly wendsits way around the block.

The tradition of men doffingof their hats, standing respectfullystill, and abstaining from any ac-tivity when a funeral passes is notnew. Construction workers doingstreet repairs used to have the mo-nopoly on this custom. Someclassrooms in parochial schoolsused to pay similar homage to apassing funeral.

In these days of hurry-up foreverything, it’s delightful to hearof this tradition that undoubtedlyslows down a softball game, as itsplayers struggle to meet after-game appointments. Perhaps thisrespectful tradition could be emu-lated by youth coaches of allsports.

TRAGEDIES

Editorial

Details are still hazy and incomplete as to what hap-pened to Red Sox All-Star David Ortiz in the DominicanRepublic and why.

There are plenty or rumors as to why the beloved slug-ger was shot in the back, but precious little in the way ofhard facts. It really shouldn’t be that surprising. Piecesof any criminal puzzle take time to click into place.

A few things strike us in the immediate aftermath.First and foremost, heroes can let us down. It was pre-

dictable, but naïve, to see many folks online refusing toput any credence in some of the more scandalous rumorssurrounding the shooting. They were not just skeptical,which would be a reasonable response, they were unmov-ing in their refusal to believe even a shred of the emerg-ing stories.

The reality is that two things can be true: Ortiz can bea good man, and a man whose flaws and deeds came backto haunt him. No one is perfect, especially not sportsstars. He is no less deserving of our prayers and con-cern.

The other observation we had is quite a bit broader inscope, and perhaps more alarming in a societal sense:we are all still quick to believe and share inaccurate re-porting and fake news.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting there wereunderstandable, but no less inaccurate, reports of the ex-tent of his injuries (a bullet passed cleanly though hisleg); rationales for the attack (a robbery), and even hor-rible reporting in social media as to where the shootingtook place; Venezuela, opined one baseball “source”).

As we veer ever closer to another presidential elec-tion, one marked by increased scrutiny of online dissemi-nators, the fact remains that we are still making the samemistakes with media consumption. We still believe andspread bad intel. There is still a rush to “be first” andenjoy some false sense of pride in “educating” our friendsand peers.

Speed is the bane of reporting and distribution alike.It is hard to get too worked up. The Ortiz news was

shocking and most reactions understandable. Reachingfor the “share” button was reflexive.

The problem is that, days later, many still believe thoseinitial fictions that immediately emerged. As a flipsideto the same coin, even vetted news is being dismissedbecause it doesn’t fit a mental image of a man they onlyknow from TV.

Our collective sense of truth in media still needs areset. We never seem to learn.

The Theodore Parker Church(TPC) hosted Windborne - a po-litical and intercultural a cappella- in concert on Friday, May 31.The a cappella quartet performedin TPC’s Parish Hall, which wascompletely filled with church andcommunity members.

The Windborne quartet -which is made up of vocalistsLynn Mahoney Rowan, WillThomas Rowan, LaurenBreunig, and Jeremy Carter Gor-don - has been called “some ofthe finest singers of protest andfolk music that I have everheard…” by folk music journalSing Out!. The group shifts ef-fortlessly between differentstyles of traditional music, hail-

ing from all parts of the worldincluding Bulgaria, Quebec,France, and Appalachia.

“I saw them perform at theNew England Regional Folk Al-liance, and I was quite im-pressed,” explained Carol Allen,who does bookings for the TPC.“We discussed dates they couldperform, and now they’re here inconcert!”

“Lynn, Will and I started sing-ing together for fun in highschool,” New England nativeLauren Breunig explained. “Jer-emy joined in 2013, and that’swhen Windborne really started.Singing has been a full time jobover the past year.”

During their concert at theTPC, Windborne performedsongs from their project Song onthe Times: Social Action

Songbook & Album. The illus-trated songbook and album takesmusic from working class move-ments for people’s rights in theUS and UK over 400 years, andis sung for today’s struggles.“Some of the lyrics are very old,but they have the same messagetoday,” explained Breunig.“We’ve also updated some of thelyrics.” These topics includeworkers rights, climate change,and racial justice.

Windborne believes that asartists, it is important to makemusic that bring people’s atten-tion to struggles and poverty.They opened the a cappella con-cert by singing “The Diggers’Song”, a 17th century Englishballad which was a protest songfor land rights. Many people inthe audience clapped their handand stomped their feet along withthe beat. The group also per-

formed “Bread and Roses”, apolitical slogan, poem, and songassociated with the textile strikein Lawrence, MA in 1912.

Windborne members Willand Lynn performed a song theywrote in 2006 after seeing the AlGore documentary An Inconve-nient Truth. The song, titledSlave to Time, is a call to actionand an apology to future genera-tions. “The phrase ‘do not be aslave to time’ speaks to how easyit is to assume that someone elsewill deal with the problem, or thatwe will deal with it later. It is acall to action beyond climatechange, it speaks to all socialstruggle,” explained LynnRowan.

The group went viral twoyears ago when a video of themsinging outside Trump Tower inprotest was shared thousands oftimes on Facebook. The lyricsdiscussed the “low folk risingup” and “the tyrants in their tow-ers of gold shall hear thepeople’s cries”. “It was about aweek before Trump’s inaugura-tion,” explained Jeremy CarterGordon. (You can watch thevideo at https://w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m /watch?v=aE3s2IwgcAE).

In 2014, Windborne was oneof ten groups in the nation cho-sen to be US cultural ambassa-dors, traveling to Angola,Turkmenistan, and Central Asia.The group also engaged in a lotof community events while inthese countries.

This is the church’s last Mu-sic on Centre concert of the Win-ter/Spring 2019 season. “Thiswas our most ambitious year sofar for Music on Centre,” statedAllen. The TPC’s Music on Cen-tre has hosted two other concertsduring the winter and spring of2019. In January, they hostedsinger-songwriter Joe Jencksand Balkan musician Samodivi.In April, Music on Centre hostedthe folk group the HeatherPierson Trio and singer MikeLaureanno. All shows benefitthe TPC and its work.

“We are getting more andmore people from the neighbor-hood to come [to our concerts],”explained Allen. “We try tobring in fun music for thechurch, since we are very musicoriented.”

Residents from Roslindaleto Roxbury joined forces onThursday, May 30 at the LenaPark Community Center at 150American Legion Hwy. inDorchester to express theirviews on how they would liketo see their major transporta-tion arteries improved to trans-portation advocacy nonprofitgroup Livable Streets.

how of who to talk to,”Lachiusa said.

She added that these fo-rums provide the “resourcesand tools” for people whodon’t know which roads be-long to the city or state, andfrom which department or leg-islator where they should seekresources.

People also had the chanceto connect across neighbor-hoods and realize that they en-countered the same problems– feeling endangered in cross-walks, worrying about theirchildren and thinking aboutbike lanes and bus-only lanes.

The first topic of discussionwas American Legion Hwy.,which stretches fromRoslindale to Dorchester.There are no plans in the worksas yet, but plenty of feedback.

“All of these accidents areright out here,” said one resi-dent, pointing outside. “Weneed them to keep crashinginto the wall.”

Rick Yoder, the co-chair ofthe Mount Hope CanterburyNeighborhood Association(MHC), spoke of the other endof American Legion inRoslindale, near theScrubaDub car wash at WalkHill St.

“There is an 81-foot curbcut,” Yoder said. “You neverknow when the cars are goingto come in, and where the exitand entry and exit are.

“When you are walking,you almost have to do a spinin, out and around to watch fortraffic,” explained fellow

MHC co-chair Lisa Beatman.“It’s a very dangerous area.Traffic is coming from threedirections, and it’s near a K-8school.”

Yoder added that there havebeen a couple of fatal accidentson Walk Hill, and “a couple ofrollovers on American Le-gion.”

“The intersection needs tobe redesigned, and trafficneeds to slow down,” he noted.

Beatman commented thatthe name of the street shouldbe changed from Highway toParkway, which would bemore in keeping with its origi-nal intention with greenerythrough an urban neighbor-hood.

“When people see the word‘highway,’ they automaticallythink speeding is okay,” shesaid.

Another huge problem isthe 14 bus line, which runs in-frequently, stops early at night,and doesn’t run at all on Sun-day.

Gwendolyn Farrell of HydePark recommended speedcheck signs on American Le-gion, as well as Blue Hill Ave.,the most widely traversedroad.

“Also, if they make theroads a little bit narrower, theycould add a dedicated bus laneor bike lane and also slowdown traffic,” Lachiusa said.

Some residents questionednarrowing an already danger-ous Blue Hill Ave. One resi-dent suggested putting the busin the middle in the road witha platform in the middle, simi-

lar to the subway.Blue Hill Ave. and Warren

St. have one of the highestcrash rates, and the 28 bus isthe most widely used busroutes with more than 45,000passengers along that roadwayper day, Lachiusa said.

“If you are biking, forgetabout it,” she added.

The audience suggestedtraffic calming measures, in-cluding speed bumps, raisedcrosswalks more traffic lightsand other means from BlueHill Ave. to Columbia Rd.

Others suggested a dedi-cated bike lane and makingmore frequent bus trips so thatpeople would use cars less fre-quently.

Lachiusa stressed that thisis the first of several commu-nity meetings, and that it ismeant to empower people.

“I thought there was a goodturnout and good conversa-tion,” she said. “Talking aboutstreet improvements can bechallenging and divisive, andthere often aren’t right an-swers. The larger the group ofpeople with similar goals, themore likely they will be tomake the changes they want tosee.”

Arealus Pough, communityengagement manager at theLena Park CDC, agreed.

“I was very impressed withthe turnout and that peoplefrom all of the neighborhoodswere working together towardthe common goal of makingour streets safer for every-one,” he said.

has been able to expand its programs from just food distri-bution in one location to delivery services for veterans andseniors, as well as the backpack program at the Chittick El-ementary School in Hyde Park, which provides fresh mealsto youngsters outside of school-provided lunches.

“The response in the community has been incredible, ev-eryone is so supportive of us and everything we do,” shesaid.

Rotarian District Governor for 2020-21 and former Chap-ter President Terry Curran said the Rotarians use the distri-bution days as service days for their club, allowing them tomeet up in a social atmosphere rather than a dry meeting.

“It’s part of our commitment to the neighborhood to bevolunteering,” she said. “We absolutely love it; we all dodifferent things. You may think that in West Roxbury thatthere’s not food insecurity, but there is, even with friends Ihave. People are aging and things getting tighter, the elderlyare the people really coming through on Tuesday becausethey experience food insecurity and they don’t want to tellanybody about it. They do a great job here.”

Curran added that no matter the situation, Slagle alwaysmade sure everyone coming to them for food assistance washelped in whatever way they needed.

“She just has a way about her that everybody feels com-fortable when they come in,” she said.

Lord Mayor of West Roxbury Richie Gormley reaffirmedthat the work at the pantry is amazing and that Slagle is amost deserving recipient.

“Anything to help, I’m always here to support,” he said.“It’s a great organization.”

Current West Roxbury Roslindale Rotary PresidentDominic Rebelo said the Rotary Board decided on Slaglequickly for the Paul Harris Award.

“It was such an easy thing,” he said. “Darra was chal-lenging because we actually wanted to do this for her lastyear, but she’s very humble, and so she didn’t want to acceptlast year.”

Rebelo said the three years of volunteering at the pantrywoke him up to some of the real issues facing residents.

“In working with Rose’s Bounty I’ve been really struckby a lot of the people who come for services here. It illus-trates that the issue of food insecurity exists and is sort ofhiding in plain sight,” he said. “I’m glad Rose’s Bounty hasbeen a wedge to help out.”


Mayor Martin J. Walsh, Boston School Committee Chairperson Michael Loconto, and BPS Interim Superintendent Laura Perille recognized the valedictorians for their outstanding accomplish-ments during a ceremony emceed by WGBH television and radio host and commentator Callie Crossley."The 2019 BPS valedictorians are an exceptional group of Bostonians who possess amazingtalent, and have worked very hard to graduate at the top of their class," said Mayor Walsh. "Together they represent the promise of a strong public education. I challenge each and every valedictorianto think about how they can positively contribute to the world, because I have no doubt that some incredible leaders in our city and our country are among this graduating class." This year’svaledictorians were born in nine different countries, while more than one-quarter of the valedictorians are “home grown” BPS students, or have attended BPS schools from kindergarten through12th grade. Forty percent were born outside the US. Another 43 percent will be the first in their families to attend college. “The 2019 valedictorians represent the multicultural fabric of the BPScommunity and are exemplary global citizens, prepared to face the triumphs and challenges ahead of them,” said Boston School Committee Chairperson Michael Loconto. “I am so proud of ouryoung scholars’ accomplishments thus far and look forward to seeing all that they achieve in the future.” The Boston Foundation, Eastern Bank, Shah Family Foundation, and Steward Health Carewere the major sponsors of the ceremony. Any proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the City of Boston Scholarship Fund. “Graduating as valedictorian is a profound accomplishment and thesebright, young scholars should be incredibly proud of themselves,” said Interim Superintendent Perille. “I am in awe of the community engagement and peer leadership our valedictorians haveexhibited, in addition to their scholastic and extracurricular achievements. They are leaders among fellow students and serve as role models for us all.” COURTESY PHOTO

The 562 student school hasbeen the subject of a lot of de-bate among residents for morethan two years. Residents againstthe school contend that it willcause increased traffic in an areathat is already heavily-congested,especially along the WestRoxbury Parkway. Theproposal’s development team hasreleased a traffic study includingnearby proposed and approveddevelopments in the neighbor-hood. That study found the smallincrease in traffic from the schoolwould be negligible. Opponentsalso contend the area is too smallfor a high school.

Bellevue Hill NeighborhoodImprovement Association ChairGinny Gass said she and hergroup were concerned about a

hasty approval from the city onthe project when they recentlyfound building/demolition per-mits fixed to the Clay Auto build-ing, dated May 17, and filed bySuffolk Construction.

She had said she and hergroup planned to talk to BostonMayor Marty Walsh about thisat the Tuesday Coffee Hour withthe Mayor at Billings Field, butthe event was rained out.

“In the meantime, we con-tinue to oppose the project,” shesaid. “We plan to attend theRoslindale coffee hour scheduledfor Thursday, June 13, atRoslindale Square.”

The development team andthe school administration sent outa press release after the end ofthe extended comment period forthe project, and pointed out that85 percent of the comments theBPDA received were in supportof the project. More than 1,000comments were submitted to theBPDA, during 80 days of thepublic comment period, which ismuch longer than normal for theBPDA.

“We are so encouraged by thetremendous number of com-ments in support of our highschool project. It’s a testament tothe work we’ve done to inform

the community about ourschool,” said Kate Armstrong,the Associate Chief OperatingOfficer at Roxbury Prep. “We arecommitted to being a good neigh-bor, answering questions andsolving problems, just as we donow at our current locations.”

The school also stated theyhave a petition of support inwhich 842 residents ofRoslindale and West Roxburysigned, with a total of 2,349 sig-natures from Boston residents.

One resident of Roslindalesent a post card to the BPDA,writing in on it, “Rox Prep saveslives!”

The Greater Belgrade AvenueNeighborhood Association ex-pressed opposition to the projectin its current form.

Some opponents are sayingthat the currently unused RogersMiddle School would be a goodlocation, but the City’s Depart-ment of Neighborhood Develop-ment has floated the idea of af-fordable senior housing at thatlocation.

Other residents expressed theidea that since the West RoxburyHigh School has to close downfor repairs and renovation any-way, why not give the buildingto Roxbury Prep. The BostonSchool District flatly refusedthis idea.

City looking to move Animal Control to Parks Department

The Boston City CouncilCommittee on GovernmentOperations held a hearing re-cently at the request of the Bos-ton Parks Department to movethe Animal Care and Control(ACC) Commission under thepurview of the Parks Depart-ment.

The ACC is currently runthrough the Inspectional Ser-vices Department (ISD), whichgot it from Property Manage-ment in 2014. The currently-proposed move would have togo through a City Council or-dinance.

Boston Parks and Recre-ation Commissioner ChrisCook said it makes sense forParks to bring ACC under itsumbrella, as many of the callsfor animal control occur onParks property.

“We do see a lot of the wild-life interactions taking place onour land, so we do think we arethe right agency to actually ab-sorb the city entity,” he said.“For a lot of regulatory reasons,a lot of the conflicts, whetherit’s off-leash dogs or wildlifesuch as geese and coyotes, theyactually occur on our propertiesand so it runs into the existingcity ordinances and rules regu-lating parks and open spaces.”

Cook added that ISD’s mis-sion is specific to private prop-

erty and a narrow scope, whilethe Parks Department has a bitmore flexibility, and would bea better fit for the ACC.

“We do think there wouldbe an opportunity to capitalizeon the learning environment ofthe Parks and Recreation De-partment through all of its out-reach programs, and we couldactually get people to under-stand the rules and regulationsbehind Animal Care and Con-trol,” he said. “We think thatit not only makes sense from aregulatory perspective, but wereally think it makes sensefrom an educational perspec-tive to absorb ACC into theParks and Recreation Depart-ment.”

Cook added because ofpark interactions with animals,the department already inter-acts with the ACC and ISD ona daily basis.

“And the majority of theirtime is actually spent typicallyon our properties or on PublicWorks Department citystreets,” he said.

Cook said the changes tothe city ordinances governingthe ACC, which are OrdinancesChapters VI, VII, XVI andXVIII, would be pretty straight-forward.

“A lot of the language yousee just strikes ‘ISD’ and in-serts ‘Parks and Recreation,’”he said. “And then I just dowant to flag that with the trans-

fer of ACC, the revolving fundassociated with ACC wouldalso be transferred to the Parksand Recreation Departmentand that would go through allof the auspices and oversightof the City Council that all re-volving funds in the city gothrough.”

The change would also af-fect which agency issues doglicenses. Under the currentsystem, those licenses are is-sued by ISD. In the new sys-tem, they would be issued byACC under the Parks and Rec-reation Department. All officesand titles would be transferredunder the Parks as well. Therewould not be any layoffs or

changes in position leadership.The city currently requires thatall dogs six months of age orolder (human years) must beregistered and licensed everyyear by the ACC.

The impetus behind thechange comes from complaintsfrom residents of South Bos-ton that they would have toreach out to two different agen-cies – ISD and Parks – to havea meeting on enforcement ofleash laws in the park.

“Now we think we coulddeploy them citywide in a waythat makes sense that is drivenby the 311 calls,” he said. “Theother important aspect of it, theParks and Recreation Depart-

ment has so many more re-sources as far as outreach interms of getting educationalmaterials into the hands ofresidents, whether its our Cof-fee Hours or our three or fourhundred different programs werun through our arts and cul-ture programs, it’s just easierto have some of those ACC of-ficers on hand to educate thepublic on things they could dowhile engaging wildlife.”

Cook added that pest andrat control will remain underthe ISD jurisdiction. The Bos-ton City Council will vote onthis change at the June 5 meet-ing that took place after theBulletin’s deadline.
