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 />

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 />

Gil Gil Ha Ha Haylon Ha ylon<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 />

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 />

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 />

<strong>Hyde</strong> <strong>Park</strong><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 />

the health, and thus<br />
