------ALLSTON-BRIGHTON'S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER-"GET RESULTS IN THE JOURNAL!" Page 2 The Allston-Brighton Journal July 20, 1989 JOURNALBRIEFS ... City services threatened by state budget In what Governor Dukakis called "a day of reckoning for this Commonwealth," $491 million were targeted last week to be cut from the fiscal 1990 state budget Included in that figure is a$210 million cut in aid to cities and town, with the remaining cuts touching on a variety of human service and government programs. According to the city's budget office, the local aid cuts alone will translate into a $20 to $25 million budget reduc tion for the city ofBoston. While city officials are still trying to determine precisely how the cuts will affect the city budget, it is certain the affect will be dramatic. City Councilor Menino, chair of the City Council's Ways and Means Committee, described the potential im pact as "bleak" and "disastrous." In his speculative list of City Councilor Thomas Meninno, chair or the ways and means committee, led a public forum on the city's fiscal potential changes, Menino includes the possibilities of 1990 budget back in March.

If you're a baseball fan, then on Friday July 21st, McKinney Playground in Brighton is the place to be. That's because Boston Red Sox Pitcher Mike Smithson will be appearing at McKinney for "SoxTalk." The program, which was put together by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department last year, has once again become a favorite with inner-city youths. Smithson will be at McKinney from 3:00to4:00p.m. to give tips on hitting, pitching and bunting. But the real emphasis of the program is to discuss issues such as drugs and peer pressure. Last year, former Sox Pitcher Bruce Hurst spoke at McKinney and was well received by the crowd of over 200. "We're very pleased with the commiunent of the Red Sox to the youth of Boston," says Parks and Recreation Commissioner Larry Dwyer. He added that the program covers all of the neighborhoods throughout the city, and that this year the department hopes to double the appear- ances made last year. " This is how the program will break down. The first twenty minutes is devoted to teaching basic baseball fun damentals previously listed.
