Rural Post Office hour<br />
reductions won't affect<br />
Readville from closing<br />
The Readville Post Office remains in limbo despite a ruling on many<br />
rural post offices.<br />
Gil Gil Ha Haylon Ha ylon<br />
Staff Reporter<br />
After significant resistance,<br />
the United States Postal Service<br />
(USPS) is retreating on its proposed<br />
plan to shut down many<br />
seldom-used rural post office<br />
locations nationwide. Instead,<br />
the USPS announced that it<br />
plans to cut hours in more than<br />
13,000 rural locations.<br />
While this was welcome<br />
news to many, it won’t help<br />
Boston residents fighting closure<br />
at certain locations including<br />
Readville.<br />
Dennis Tarmey, a spokesperson<br />
for the USPS in Boston<br />
FILE PHOTO<br />
clarified that there are two<br />
separate lists, and that the 3,700<br />
sites nationwide, including the<br />
Readville Post Office, is separate<br />
from the list of rural offices<br />
slated for reduced hours.<br />
“The rural list is a number<br />
of offices not in the city,” said<br />
Tarmey. “The idea is that the reduced<br />
hours will maintain a<br />
presence in retail communities<br />
with reduced hours.”<br />
In response to a backlash<br />
against massive closures, the<br />
Postal Service said Wednesday<br />
it will cut hours at the targeted<br />
post offices, which would re-<br />

MSBA payments on<br />
hold for <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
Education Complex<br />
Gil Gil Ha Haylon Ha ylon<br />
Staff Reporter<br />
The Massachusetts School<br />
Building Authority (MSBA)<br />
has indeed decided to withhold<br />
payment to Boston Public<br />
Schools (BPS) for a grant related<br />
to the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Education<br />
Complex.<br />
The MSBA had been reimbursing<br />
BPS on a yearly basis<br />
for the $40 million renovation<br />
of the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Education<br />
Complex.<br />
The MSBA released a letter<br />
last year warning BPS that<br />
funds may be withheld, as the<br />
education complex sits empty<br />
for this year.<br />
“The school closure that is<br />
of greatest concern to the<br />
MSBA as it relates to the<br />
MSBA grant payments is the<br />
closure of <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> High<br />
School/<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Education<br />
Complex. In 1999, the City received<br />
approval for a grant for<br />
a renovation project at <strong>Hyde</strong><br />
<strong>Park</strong> High School. To date, the<br />
MSBA has paid $23,383,012 to<br />
the City for the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> High<br />
School project, and there is a<br />
total of $12,664,978 remaining<br />
in grant payments which the<br />
MSBA is scheduled to pay in<br />

Local seniors enjoyed the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Senior Luncheon Tuesday afternoon. The event is one of several<br />
events organized by Ethos for their eighth annual SeniorPalooza.<br />
Seniors from around southwest<br />
Boston flocked to the <strong>Hyde</strong><br />
<strong>Park</strong> Community Center for the<br />
<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Senior Luncheon as<br />
part of SeniorPalooza.<br />
Ethos is hosting their eighth<br />
annual SeniorPalooza this year,<br />
including the luncheon on Tuesday<br />
afternoon. Ethos is a nonprofit<br />
organization designed to<br />
promote independence and dignity<br />
for seniors as they age.<br />
“We support the efforts of<br />
Ethos, because we want all your<br />
knowledge and hard work to be<br />
appreciated,” State Senator<br />
Mike Rush said to the crowd at<br />
the event.<br />
Rush, State Representative<br />
Angelo Scaccia and City Councilor<br />
Rob Consalvo all spoke<br />
with seniors at the event.<br />
“You have to stay active,<br />
have to stay moving,” said<br />
Scaccia. “Although I may be<br />
talking to the wrong group because<br />
you guys are so active it’s<br />
scary.”<br />
Finally, the Blake Estate<br />
Breakers, a senior karate group,<br />
performed a brief demonstration<br />
for the group. The women,<br />
all from the Blake Estates in<br />
<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, broke wooden<br />
boards with chops and got the<br />
crowd moving with some<br />
stretching exercises.<br />
Many seniors were preparing<br />
for the annual Senior Prom,<br />
hosted by Ethos at the Irish Social<br />
Club in West Roxbury. The<br />
event will take place on Thursday<br />
May 24 from noon until 3<br />
p.m.<br />

Local PriceRite donates 40k to food bank<br />
Gil Gil Ha Haylon Ha ylon<br />
Staff Reporter<br />
Employees at the PriceRite<br />
location on River Street in<br />
<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> were honored last<br />
week for their efforts in raising<br />
money for the Greater Boston<br />
Food Bank (GBFB).<br />
Each year, PriceRite associates<br />
band together to raise<br />
funds to fight hunger in the<br />
community. The donations to<br />
Check-Out Hunger directly<br />
benefit local food banks in<br />
PriceRite communities across<br />
New England.<br />
This year, PriceRite employees<br />
at the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> location<br />
presented the GBFB with<br />
a donation for $40,326.<br />
“We wouldn’t be able to<br />
raise this type of money without<br />
the full support and enthusiasm<br />
of our employees and<br />
teams in the stores,” said Bill<br />
Britton, Director of Real Estate<br />
and Human resources for<br />
PriceRite.<br />
From October through December<br />
of last year, PriceRite<br />
shoppers added a one, three or<br />
five dollar donation at checkout,<br />
helping to raise funds to<br />
feed the hungry.<br />
“We also want to thank the<br />
PriceRite customers for their<br />
Members of the PriceRite team present a check to the Greater Boston Food Bank for $40,326.<br />
generous donations and efforts<br />
to help combat hunger,” said<br />
Britton.<br />
At a ceremony last week,<br />
PriceRite presented a check to<br />
the GBFB and offered a cake<br />
and appreciation for their customers.<br />
“On behalf of the Greater<br />
Boston Food Bank, I’d like to<br />
thank you for your generous<br />
donation and hard work fighting<br />
hunger,” said Elisa Shannon,<br />
Vice President of Acquisition<br />
for the GBFB. “We depend<br />
on partners like you to<br />
help us reach our goals.”<br />

Gil Gil Ha Haylon Ha ylon<br />
Staff Reporter<br />
As Boston Public Schools<br />
(BPS) continue to make efforts<br />
to close the achievement<br />
gap, City Councilor Ayanna<br />
Pressley hopes to examine<br />
health disparities as part of<br />
that process.<br />
According to Pressley, recent<br />
research indicates that<br />
health disparities contribute to<br />
the educational achievement<br />
gap, and she is hoping that addressing<br />
those disparities becomes<br />
part of school reform.<br />
“In the context of efforts in<br />
the FY13 budget process to<br />
reform schools and close the<br />
achievement gap it’s important<br />
to address the impact that<br />
growing health disparities are<br />
having,” she said at last<br />
week’s City Council meeting.<br />
According to the hearing<br />
order filed by Pressley, one<br />
particular study identified<br />
several “educationally relevant<br />
health disparities”, including<br />
teen pregnancy, aggression<br />
and violence, and<br />
access to breakfast as recommended<br />
priorities for intervention,<br />
while also recommending<br />
that school districts<br />
identify and target the particular<br />
health problems most<br />
prominent in their schools or<br />
districts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The BPS Health and<br />
Wellness Department works<br />
to provide education initiatives<br />
aimed to improve awareness<br />
about health issues facing<br />
teens.<br />
“All of you know why I’m<br />
particularly interested in efforts<br />
around sexual health<br />
education as it address our<br />
significant disparities around<br />
teen pregnancy as well as<br />
alarming chlamydia rates,”<br />
added Pressley.<br />

nation can help provide 94,400<br />
meals.<br />
The GBFB is the largest<br />
hunger-relief organization in<br />
New England and among the<br />
largest food banks in the country.<br />
Last year, the organization<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
distributed almost 35 million<br />
pounds of food, enough to provide<br />
healthy meals to as many<br />
as 545,000 people at risk of<br />
hunger.<br />
The GBFB acquires food<br />
through food industry product<br />
donations, food drives and financial<br />
contributions that enable<br />
the group to purchase additional<br />
high nutrient quality<br />
food. Nearly 14,000 volunteers<br />
offer their time annually to sort<br />
and distribute donated food<br />
products.<br />
The GBFB works to acquire,<br />
store, organize and distribute<br />
food through local food<br />
pantries, community meal programs,<br />
homeless and residential<br />
shelters, youth programs,<br />
senior centers, and day-care<br />
centers embedded in communities<br />
throughout the nine<br />
counties of eastern Massachusetts.<br />
GBFB’s food assistance<br />
locator provides an easy way<br />
for people in need to find help<br />
nearby. GBFB also distributes<br />
food directly to those in need<br />
through dedicated programs<br />
that serve particularly vulnerable<br />
groups, such as seniors<br />
and children.

Post Office continued from page 1<br />
main open between two hours and six hours a day.<br />
In addition, thousands of employees will be impacted when<br />
jobs shift from full-time to part-time positions.<br />
The announcement is part of a broader plan that aims to save<br />
rural post offices from closing.<br />
USPS plans to allow rural communities to choose whether<br />
their local post office will remain open with shorter hours, become<br />
a “village post office” that’s operated through a private<br />
company, or close altogether.<br />
Most communities will choose shorter hours to keep their post<br />
office open, Postal Service officials say.<br />
As for the other list of post offices, the Postal Service has<br />
faced multibillion-dollar budget deficits for the past few years<br />
and planned massive cuts to get itself back in the black. Plans<br />
included the closing of 3,700 post offices and 252 mail-processing<br />
facilities, with the latter resulting in the termination of nextday<br />
first class mail delivery.<br />
Thanks to legislators, a delay was scheduled until May 15, in<br />
the hope that new funding for the USPS could be secured.<br />
The reprieve came about thanks to a request by 15 senators -<br />
all Democrats - who gave various rationales for opposing the<br />
cuts. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois noted that 1,800 Illinois<br />
residents would be put out of work by the closures, while Senator<br />
Mark Begich of Alaska argued that post offices served as the<br />
center of rural Alaskan communities.<br />
With the May 15 deadline approaching, Tarmey indicated that<br />
there has been no word as of yet.<br />
“We remain hopeful that the Readville location can stay open,<br />
we have a lot of community support and we’ve put a lot of effort<br />
into proving that it’s a needed location,” said one Readville resident.<br />

Menino hosts annual coffee hours<br />
Mayor Thomas Menino speaks to local resident at Iacono Field in <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> during his annual Coffee<br />
Hours visit.<br />

Staff Reporter<br />
Mayor Thomas M.<br />
Menino stopped by to visit<br />
with local residents as part of<br />
the Mayor’s Coffee Hours on<br />
Tuesday morning, beginning<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
his annual meeting series in<br />
neighborhoods throughout<br />
Boston.<br />
Menino chatted with local<br />
residents at Iacono <strong>Park</strong> in<br />
the Readville section of <strong>Hyde</strong><br />
<strong>Park</strong>, while handing out flowers<br />
and posing for photos<br />
with his constituents.<br />
The flowers were grown<br />
in the city of Boston’s greenhouse<br />
and were a gift to all<br />
attendees of the event, courtesy<br />
of Menino and the Boston<br />
<strong>Park</strong>s and Recreation Department.<br />
“It’s something I enjoy<br />
coming to every year, especially<br />
so close to my home,”<br />
Menino told a <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
resident he was chatting with<br />
during the event.<br />
The Coffee Hours give local<br />
residents a unique opportunity<br />
to speak with the<br />
Mayor directly, something<br />
that isn’t always viable.<br />
“I love going to these<br />
events because I get to talk<br />
to the Mayor, which isn’t<br />
possible in every city,” said<br />
one resident at the event.<br />
Attendees of the event<br />
were also treated to coffee<br />
and munchkins, courtesy of<br />
the Mayor, and participated<br />
in a raffle for a gift basket<br />
full of items, including free<br />
Swan Boat rides, free parking<br />
downtown and other<br />
goodies.<br />
This is the fourteenth year<br />
that the Mayor has participated<br />
in the Coffee Hours series,<br />
which began as a<br />
Mother’s Day event some<br />
time ago. Menino makes ten<br />
appearances for the event,<br />
speaking to residents in<br />
nearly every neighborhood of<br />
the City.<br />
Menino made the third<br />
stop of his ten trips on Tuesday<br />
morning. The remaining<br />

residents could place suggestions<br />
for the future of local<br />
parks, public areas and city<br />
services.<br />
There was a full crowd of<br />
people packed in for the<br />
event this year. People<br />
huddled under the roofed-in<br />
picnic area to accept flowers<br />
and chat with the Mayor.<br />
Many residents were familiar<br />
and friendly with Menino because<br />
of his ties to <strong>Hyde</strong><br />

Editorial<br />
MORE SECURE?<br />
A while back, we offered our concern about Secure Communities,<br />
a federal program that would cross-reference the<br />
fingerprints of those arrested by local police against a national<br />
immigration database. The intent is to deport illegal<br />
immigrants convicted of “serious” crimes.<br />
Our problem with the initiative had less to do with the<br />
underlying immigration issues as the impact on local police<br />
departments. Would having local, street-level officers more<br />
or less “deputized” as immigration officials undermine vital<br />
community outreach? Would they lose the trust of the very<br />
people they rely on for information and support? Would the<br />
program lead victims of crime to keep silent, fearing that<br />
they too might be submitting themselves to a check on their<br />
immigration status?<br />
Now that Secure Communities is a done deal in Massachusetts,<br />
despite initial objections by the Governor, we put<br />
some new thought into it. While our stated concerns remain,<br />
and are added to some new ones, our overall reaction is - as<br />
the President might say - evolving.<br />
It is very hard to make a strong case against any initiative<br />
that might not only punish “bad guys,” but also remove the<br />
chance that they will again hurt victims.<br />
Illegal immigrants are already guilty of a civil infraction,<br />
though one many are inclined to overlook. But when you<br />
layer on criminal activity, how can any rational person argue<br />
that they shouldn’t be deported? Is it better that they become<br />
a burden on taxpayers as they ride out their time in prison,<br />
only to once again hit the streets all too soon?<br />
So, yes, Secure Communities is - at least in intent - a good<br />
idea and one that is long overdue.<br />
As for our concerns, if the program is run well many of<br />
them will be defused. We need to make sure that this new<br />
“tool” is used correctly and judiciously. It must only be invoked<br />
in egregious crimes, not petty infractions like speeding<br />
tickets or loitering.<br />
For neighborhood cops, Secure Communities must not be<br />
top-of-mind. In fact, they shouldn’t think about it at all. They<br />
should just go about their business as they always do and<br />
leave the federal component up to the feds. Otherwise, it can<br />
easily devolve into a “papers, please” boondoggle.<br />
We also need to track how the measure is used and whether<br />
it is impartial. Illegal immigrants are not the focus of our<br />
police, criminals are. Those who fit that description come<br />
from all walks of life and a multitude of backgrounds. Secure<br />
Communities shouldn’t disproportionately target blacks<br />
and Latinos, as there are surely plenty of illegal Irish, Italians<br />
and Asians who commit crimes as well.<br />
We’ve heard arguments that victims of rape and domestic<br />
violence may be less likely to report those crimes as a result<br />
of the new protocol. This may be a bit of a red herring. The<br />
sad fact is that these victims are already reluctant to come<br />
forward. It is a sad problem rooted in both culture and psychology.<br />
There must certainly be a better approach to outreach,<br />
but to blame Secure Communities for the problem,<br />
even ahead of it being in full effect, is an assumption and<br />
stalling tactic.<br />
Immigration is a hot-button issue and we remain shocked<br />
that leaders at all levels of government are avoiding real reforms<br />
like The Plague. We also are dismayed that law enforcement<br />
agencies don’t already share this data as well as<br />
they should, and that it takes a polarizing effort like Secure<br />
Communities to inch towards an ideal. Nevertheless, we<br />
think this new system is worth a try, so long as it is used<br />
appropriately and constantly overseen and scrutinized.<br />

Thank You!<br />
To the Editor,<br />
On behalf of the BCYF <strong>Hyde</strong><br />
<strong>Park</strong> Community Center, Council<br />
and staff, I take this opportunity<br />
to express our sincerest appreciation<br />
for your support and<br />
generosity.<br />
First, I would like to thank<br />
Blue Hills Bank for sponsoring<br />
the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> 5K Road Race. I<br />
also want to thank Annabell’s for<br />
having us, all the volunteers, and<br />
the community and of course the<br />
runners. It is through the support<br />
of individuals and corporate<br />
representatives like you that we<br />
were able to bring back the Road<br />
Race. The proceeds continue to<br />
strengthen our programs.<br />
The Road Race was a huge<br />
success and a great day was had<br />
by all. We look forward to next<br />
year, again, thank you for making<br />
this a success it would not<br />
have been possible without you.<br />
Respectfully,<br />

Bake Sales raise funds<br />
Letter to the Editor<br />
Sometimes people can have<br />
best of intentions but must be<br />
tone deaf. I thought of that with<br />
two recent stories that made<br />
headlines.<br />
Now, some people could say<br />
the state legislature has better<br />
things to do than deal with school<br />
bake sales but they were only put<br />
in this situation because state officials<br />
were putting new nutrition<br />
regulations in place for public<br />
schools that would have banned<br />
bake sales starting Aug.1.<br />
Letters to the Editor<br />
Now, I understand the importance<br />
of good nutrition in our<br />
schools. For many children the<br />
only healthy meal they may get<br />
is in the school cafeteria. I think<br />
getting rid of the soda machines<br />
was a good idea. Bake sales are<br />
a way to raise money for field<br />
trips and other activities that<br />
schools can’t afford to fund themselves.<br />
There isn’t an Election<br />
Day that goes by in West<br />
Roxbury without a school that<br />
serves as polling location having<br />
a bake sale. The people buying<br />
these baked goods are adults not<br />
children.<br />
There are many ways to improve<br />
school nutrition but banning<br />
bake sales is excessive. Yes,<br />
they will have to pry that cupcake<br />
from my cold, dead hands.<br />
Now the other story was the<br />
firing of a Wells Fargo employee.<br />
By all accounts she was a very<br />
good employee since she was<br />
hired five years ago. The bank<br />
did a background check on her<br />
recently and found she had a conviction<br />
& the bank fired her. I<br />
know some of you may be saying,<br />
absolutely right. Now for the<br />
rest of the story, as they say: the<br />
conviction was for shoplifting 40<br />
years ago…yes 40 years.<br />
Tell ‘em<br />
what you<br />
think with a<br />
Letter To<br />
The Editor<br />
Page Page 5<br />
5<br />
I understand the need for<br />
background checks on employees.<br />
The article did not explain<br />
why after five years a background<br />
check was done here but<br />
how long should one pay for a<br />
minor offense that happened four<br />
decades ago.<br />
Sometimes what is needed is<br />
not new regulations or the enforcement<br />
of existing ones. In the<br />
past week with these two stories<br />
what was needed was common<br />
sense. If that were in play these<br />
would never have been news stories<br />
in the first place.<br />

65 Sprague St. undergoing<br />
major solar renovations<br />
65 Sprague St. is undergoing renovations to place solar panels on the roof. The project will be the largest<br />
roof-mounted solar project in Boston.<br />
Gil Gil Ha Haylon Ha Ha ylon<br />
Staff Reporter<br />
An effort to increase efficiency<br />
has led to a significant<br />
renovation project at 65<br />
Sprague St. to add solar panels<br />
to the roof of the property.<br />
The building at 65 Sprague<br />
St. in the Boston/Dedham Commerce<br />
<strong>Park</strong>, run by First Highland<br />
Management and Development<br />
Corporation, is in the<br />
process of being fitted for solar<br />
panels.<br />
“This will be the largest<br />
roof-mounted solar installation<br />
in the city of Boston or<br />
Dedham,” said Kathleen Doyle,<br />
CEO of Fireflower Alternative<br />
Energy.<br />
FireFlower Alternative Energy,<br />
founded by Doyle in 2008,<br />
creates turnkey renewable energy<br />
projects for mid-sized<br />
companies, organizations and<br />
municipalities in the northeastern<br />
United States<br />
The project, when completed,<br />
will proved approximately<br />
65 percent of the power<br />
for the entire facility, according<br />
to Doyle.<br />
“It’s going to be a fairly significant<br />
upfront investment,”<br />
said Doyle, who added that the<br />
system will be worth the cost<br />
in the clean, renewable energy<br />
it will provide.<br />
The project is already underway<br />
and is expected to be<br />
completed by the end of August<br />
if not sooner. The project also<br />
recently passed a significant<br />
milestone as it received interconnection<br />
approval.<br />
“This site was really well<br />
positioned for solar panels,<br />
with great sun exposure on the<br />
roof,” said Doyle.<br />
According to Doyle, because<br />
of the good positioning,<br />
there is no need for the entire<br />
roof to be covered with panels.<br />
Solar energy projects are<br />
encouraged by the state and<br />
federal governments, and this<br />
project will also be helped considerably<br />
by state and federal<br />
incentives.<br />
There will be a significant<br />
announcement about the<br />
project once it is completed in<br />
late August.<br />
The project is a collaboration<br />
between First Highland<br />
and FireFlower Alternative Energy.<br />
First Highland acquires, develops,<br />
redevelops, and manages<br />
industrial real estate. The<br />
Company’s innovative approach<br />
to projects and the experience<br />
of its principals have<br />
led to the successful development<br />
and redevelopment of<br />

Voting Rights<br />
To the Editor:<br />
The Secretary of the Commonwealth<br />
and the Massachusetts<br />
League of Women Voters<br />
have created a Voters’ Bill of<br />
Rights that are guaranteed to<br />
qualified registered voters. According<br />
to number seven of the<br />
bill of rights, you have the right<br />
to vote if you cannot read or write<br />
or cannot read or write English.<br />
However, according to number<br />
13 of the Voters’ Bill of Rights,<br />
you can take a sample ballot into<br />
the voting booth with you.<br />
Nonetheless, there is no<br />
right that any actual ballot has<br />
to be in any other language<br />
other than English. I believe<br />
that sample ballots in any requested<br />
language should be<br />
readily available to any qualified<br />
registered voter who seeks<br />
one three weeks or more before<br />

Sullivan’s column<br />
was an attack<br />
Letter to Editor,<br />
I found Frank Sullivan’s<br />
column attacking Elizabeth<br />
Warren unprofessional, sophomoric<br />
and offensive. In addition<br />
to his uninformed attack on Ms.<br />
Warren’s credibility, Mr.<br />
Sullivan’s attempt to be humorous<br />
makes jest of Native Americans<br />
and their culture. Can you<br />
imagine how those of Irish descent<br />
would react if Mr.<br />
Sullivan’s column were laced<br />
with derogatory language that<br />
stereotyped and ridiculed the<br />
Irish? Even a newspaper that is<br />
distributed for free ought to rise<br />
above this level of “journalism.”<br />

To the Doctor: I am interested in 2 cars – one for my wife – a Fiat 500C Cabrio and the Ford Edge<br />
with the 2.0 liter Eco boost 4 cylinder. Have you driven either car?<br />
From the Doctor: I have driven both a manual and an automatic Fiat 500C Cabrio. The first was the<br />
manual transmission, the second was the automatic. I personally enjoyed the automatic over the<br />
manual. The Fiat drew attention everywhere I parked it, is quiet at highway speeds and has ample<br />
power at any speed. Fit and finish were excellent, the audio system has Bose speakers and a sub woofer<br />
under the passenger seat. Steering hub radio controls are at your fingertips on the back side of the<br />
steering wheel like found in Chrysler vehicles. The convertible top slides on a rail on either side of the<br />
metal car frame. Gas mileage: 27 city, 32 highway.<br />
Our automatic test car was finished in light green and brown, with optional heated leather seats. The<br />
color combination is a throwback to the sixties and it looks great.<br />
The one item I found that I did not care for was the built-in navigation unit attached to the top of the<br />
dash. I found it to be distracting and the screen too small. A portable GPS is a better deal.<br />
Now to the new Ford Edge. Our test car was a front drive with the Eco boost 4 cylinder. I always drive<br />
the car for a day before opening the hood. If I was a betting man I would have bet my test Edge had a<br />
large V/6, not a turbo charged 4 cylinder.<br />
The Edge is a roomy vehicle that offers multi uses. It does take some time to get used to the audio<br />
system. Once you get by the learning curve on the electronics, the system is your friend. The Edge shows<br />
quality in every way, including the color stitching on the leather heated seats. Both of your choices will<br />
be great vehicles.<br />
Boston’s own Junior Damato, “The Auto Doctor” has agreed to field auto repair questions<br />
from <strong>Bulletin</strong> and Record readers. Please forward your questions to news@bulletinnewspapers.com<br />
and we will do our best to get your questions answered.<br />
NeighborWalk expands to help more Boston<br />
residents get outside and get active<br />
NeighborWalk is a free program<br />
of the Boston Public<br />
Health Commission that supports<br />
weekly walking groups<br />
for Boston residents in their<br />
own neighborhoods. Now in its<br />
tenth year, NeighborWalk has<br />
helped hundreds of people get<br />
active and get out in their communities<br />
as well as stick to their<br />
fitness goals. The community<br />
walking groups are one of the<br />
many free or low cost resources<br />
available through the recently<br />
launched Boston Moves for<br />
Health campaign. As part of<br />
Boston Moves, Mayor Thomas<br />
M. Menino has challenged the<br />
city to collectively lose one<br />
million pounds and move ten<br />
million miles.<br />
“This is another excellent<br />
way people in the city of Boston<br />
can get off their feet and<br />
move,” said Mayor Thomas M.<br />
Menino. “The health benefits<br />
of walking are enormous, and<br />
programs like this put our residents<br />
and employees well on<br />
their way to losing a million<br />
pounds this year.”<br />
There is substantial evidence<br />
showing that walking<br />
helps control or even prevent<br />
many chronic diseases like type<br />
2 diabetes, coronary heart disease,<br />
stroke, breast and colon<br />
cancer, high blood pressure,<br />
and depression. It can help you<br />
maintain a healthy weight; promote<br />
bone, joint and muscle<br />
health; lower total cholesterol;<br />
and increase good cholesterol.<br />
“We know that getting to a<br />
healthy weight and being active<br />
is so important for overall<br />
health, and that walking can<br />
help control or even reduce<br />
many diseases like type 2 diabetes,<br />
heart disease, certain<br />
kinds of cancer, and high blood<br />
pressure. But we also know<br />
how tough it can be to maintain<br />
a healthy lifestyle on your<br />
own. NeighborWalk is a great<br />
way for folks to support each<br />
other in reaching their healthy<br />
goals, getting active, and getting<br />
out in their communities,”<br />
said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, executive<br />
director of the Boston Public<br />
Health Commission.<br />
Those interested in joining<br />
a walking group may contact<br />
one of the programs listed below<br />
for more information. All<br />
groups are free of charge and<br />
open to the public, and all regular<br />
walkers receive pedometers,<br />
tee-shirts, water bottles, and<br />
safety whistles.<br />

As the Home for Little<br />
Wanderers (HFLW) approaches<br />
their final months in<br />
Jamaica Plain, they will host<br />
their annual Voices and Visions<br />
exhibit at the Knight<br />
Children’s Center.<br />
This free exhibit is open to<br />
the public and features artwork<br />
from children in The<br />
Home’s many programs.<br />
Voices & Visions is an innovative,<br />
year-long art project,<br />
which teaches positive ways<br />
of self-expression and encourages<br />
artistic development in<br />
children with emotional and<br />
behavioral challenges. This<br />
year’s theme is “Heroes.” The<br />
exhibit is a preview of the artwork<br />
that will be on display<br />
at The Home’s annual Voices<br />
& Visions fundraising gala on<br />
May 23, 2012 at the Seaport<br />
World Trade Center, Boston.<br />
“Art can be very therapeutic<br />
for kids who’ve had experiences<br />
of abuse and neglect,”<br />
said Heather MacFarlane,<br />
spokesperson for the Home.<br />
Voices & Visions is a culmination<br />
of a year-long innovative<br />
arts program. The event<br />
features the creative art and<br />
writing from young children<br />
throughout the many programs<br />
at the HFLW. Voices &<br />
Visions is a unique exhibit<br />
Payments continued from page 1<br />
annual installments through fiscal<br />
year 2019. Due to the closure<br />
of payments for this<br />
project, however, the MSBA<br />
may consider putting a hold on<br />
the remaining payments for this<br />
project and recouping a portion<br />
of funds that have already been<br />
paid to the City for this project,<br />
pending the City’s future plans<br />
for the facility,” reads a section<br />
of the letter sent in June.<br />
BPS claims that the withheld<br />
payments were to be expected,<br />
and that no money will<br />
be lost over the long haul.<br />
“We’ve been discussing this<br />
issue since July, so it’s not a<br />
new issue for us,” said Lee<br />
McGuire, spokesperson for<br />
BPS. “The MSBA wrote us a<br />
letter during the closure process,<br />
and we began conversations<br />
about the suspended payments<br />
at that point.”<br />
In December the school<br />
building authority found the<br />
<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> plan lacking in details,<br />
including what percentage<br />
of the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong> facility could<br />
remain vacant after the two<br />
schools move in, and made the<br />
decision to discontinue fund-<br />
ing.<br />
The new plan calls for two<br />
schools, the Boston Community<br />
Leadership Academy and<br />
the New Mission High School<br />
to move into the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
Education Complex beginning<br />
this fall. According to McGuire,<br />
the two schools will continue<br />
to expand and eventually fill the<br />
school to full capacity.<br />
“Our expectation is that<br />
once the school reopens in the<br />
fall, all payments will be<br />
repurposed,” added McGuire.<br />
It has been reported that the<br />
Boston School Committee was<br />
unaware of this funding situation.<br />
In its original letter sent last<br />
summer, the MSBA also threatened<br />
to recoup some of the<br />
funds granted for the <strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
High School project, not just<br />
withhold remaining funds. The<br />
MSBA further threatened to<br />
withhold payments for other<br />
BPS schools including the<br />
Higginson Elementary School,<br />
the Fifield Elementary School<br />
and the Middle School Academy/Endicott<br />
School.<br />
The <strong>Bulletin</strong><br />
Home for Little Wanderers plans for<br />
Voices and Visions, sets for annual gala<br />
dating back to when it was a<br />
small display of artwork by<br />
the young residents at The<br />
Home for Little Wanderers’<br />
Knight Children’s Center in<br />
Jamaica Plain.<br />
“The kids work with teachers<br />
to pick the theme each<br />
year, and this year they’ve<br />
chosen heroes,” said<br />
MacFarlane.<br />
The heroes theme allows<br />
for kids to focus their art on<br />
heroes in the community.<br />
The Voices and Visions<br />
Exhibit has taken place at the<br />
Knight Children’s Center for<br />
more than two decades, but<br />
with the pending sale of the<br />
building, the future of the exhibit<br />
is uncertain.<br />
The Home agreed to sell<br />
their property at 161 S. Huntington<br />
Ave. to a Bostonbased<br />
developer that plans to<br />
construct an apartment complex<br />
in its place.<br />
While the Home will be<br />
moving its Jamaica Plain operations<br />
out to Walpole, there<br />
is hope that the Voices and Visions<br />
exhibit can maintain its<br />
presence in Boston.<br />
“We’re looking for options<br />
in the city,” said MacFarlane.<br />
“We know a lot of municipal<br />
buildings such as City Hall or<br />
the State House host art exhibits,<br />
and we’re hoping something<br />
like that might work<br />
out.”<br />
On May 23, the annual<br />
Voices and Visions gala will<br />
take place at the Seaport<br />
World Trade Center, where<br />
the art exhibit will be on full<br />
display.<br />
In addition to the art exhibit,<br />
highlights of this special<br />
event include a cocktail reception,<br />
silent auction, dinner,<br />
program and recognition of<br />
special guests.<br />
