Dorchester Reporter “The News and Values Around the Neighborhood”

Volume 30 Issue 22 Thursday, May 30, 2013 50¢ Parade Sunday: Dot’s Day to shine More than 100,000 people are expected to turn out for this Sunday’s 50th anniversary Dorchester Day Parade. The parade starts at 1 o’clock from the corner of Richmond Street and Dorchester Avenue in Lower Mills. This is the 109th Dorchester Day celebration. The modern- day parade, which started in 1963, will be packed with marching bands, floats and politi- cians. Dorchester Day started back in 1904 as a commemoration of the town’s settlement in 1630— one month before Boston. In more recent times, Dorches- ter Day has become a celebration of the multi-cultural mix that is modern-day Dorches- ter. The emphasis is on bands, dancers and colorful floats that highlight the neighborhood’s robust civic and cultural life.

Major O’Neil reflects on a career of military service More than 1,000 people gathered at Cedar Grove Cemetery on Monday morning for the traditional observance of Memorial Day. This year’s keynote speaker was Sergeant Major Kellyane O’Neil, a Dorchester native who is currently assigned to Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg as the Patient Services Sergeant Major. The mom of three told the outdoor assembly that she “never played Army or even dreamed of being a soldier.” “But in 1980 I enlisted in the Army,” she continued, “and chose to be a member of the greatest, best trained and most powerful army in the world as an active duty soldier serving for 32 years as a combat medic.” The Centre Street native discussed the military health facilities she has worked at in her career. “Who would have imagined years ago that we would have over 200,000 women on active duty. That is almost 15 percent of our force,” said O’Neil, who closed her remarks with a prayer: “Oh God, I ask for divine strength to meet the demands of my profession. Help me to be the finest soldier medic I can be. If I am called to the battlefield give me the courage to conserve our fighting forces by providing medical care to all who are in need. If I am called to a mission of peace give me the strength to lead by caring for those who need my assistance. Lord, finally, help me to take care of myself, keep me out of harm’s way and being me home to the ones I love and are waiting for me so patiently. Amen.” Sgt. Major KellyAnn O’Neil offered remarks at Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony in Cedar Grove cemetery. Getting kids started with breakfast in the classroom

By Earl Taylor President, Dorchester Historical Society ettled by passengers from the SMary and John about June 1, 1630, Dorchester originally was one of the largest towns in the Massachu- setts Bay Colony and included South Boston, Hyde Park, Milton, Wrentham, Stoughton, Dedham, Sharon, Fox- boro, and Canton. The town remained a rural farming community until its annexation to Boston on January 4, 1870. Each of Dorchester’s villages has played a part in its history: Mat- tapan, Neponset, Cedar Grove, Lower Mills, Baker’s Court used to be a short street in Lower Mills. It would have been the last street on the right just before crossing the Peabody Square, Fields bridge into Milton. The buildings in this picture face Baker’s Court, and the Neponset River flowed behind them. At the extreme C o r n e r / C o m m e r c i a l right you can see a piece of the old stone mill of the Baker Chocolate Company. Although we might sometimes think the road Point, Codman Square, that crosses the bridge into Milton is an extension of Dorchester Avenue, in fact, it is Adams Street that comes from the direction Franklin Park/Franklin of the Cedar Grove cemetery, rounds the corner at Lower Mills and continues over the bridge on into Milton. With a magnifying Field, Meeting-House glass, one can see that the street lamp carries the words Adams St. Hill, Glover’s Corner/ Savin Hill, Grove Hall, of the Neponset River Upham’s Corner, and by Israel Stoughton in Edward Everett Square/ 1634.
