A last-minute deal between Flynn's organization and the present Ward 22 Democratic Committee leadership prevented the submission of two separate slates of candidates for the 21-member body. "A compromise slate was worked out between the Flynn organization and the present Ward Committee," according to Joe Hogan, who sits on the committee. Hogan called the resulting slate a "unity coalition.'' One of the precipitating factors in the narrowly-averted crisis was the committee's decision this year to ex· pand, as was its choice after a recent change in state law, from a Ward 22 Democratic Committee Chairman Bartholemew McCauley.

Kelly Footnotes B.S.,R.PH. TOXIC SHOCK UPDATE We don't hear as much about toxic shock syndrome anymore because reported cases have dropped from 1,000 in 1980 to 150 last year. In 1980, the syndrome caused near­ panic among women. The condition was eventually linked to super-absorbent tam­ pons left in place for extended periods of time. There is still an association with tam­ pon use, and also with the contraceptive sponge. The risk of toxic shock, however, is considered very low. To help prevent toxic shock syndrome, menstruating women should change tampons frequently and watch for the symptoms. They are high fever, rash with peeling skin, vomiting and diarrhea, severe muscle aches, deliriwn, and low blood pressure with shock. 10% SENIOR CITIZEN PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT KELLY'S PHARMACY 389 Washington St., Brighton Call 782-2912 - 782-0781 Check Our Low Prescription Prices Call for Fast Free Prescription Delivery Dr. Timothy Lyons, Suffolk County Sheriff Bob Rufo of Brighton and Nuri:;e Connie Osgood show off Hours: Mon. thru Fri. 9 am - 7 pm Sat. 9 am - 6 pm a Certificate of Accreditation from the National Com.mission on Correctiona.J.

  • Tale of Two Mayors
    Race Relations in Boston: a Tale of Two Mayors, Raymond L. Flynn and Thomas M. Menino Ronda Jackson and Christopher Winship The Stuart Incident On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, a white, 30-year-old furrier, living in suburban Reading, Massachusetts, made a desperate 9-1-1 call to the Boston Police dispatcher. He reported that he had been shot. His wife, Carol Stuart, a lawyer, seven-months pregnant at the time, had also been shot, and was in the passenger’s seat next to him bleeding and unconscious. Though frightened and in shock, Stuart was able to provide some details of the crime. He told the dispatcher that he and his wife had just left a birthing class at a nearby hospital and gotten into their car parked near the Mission Hill housing project when a young black man in a hooded sweatshirt robbed and shot them both. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Stuart while police cruisers in the area found the Stuarts’ car and the two wounded victims.1 The Stuarts were rushed back to the same hospital where they had attended Lamaze class. Doctors performed an emergency c-section on Carol to remove the baby and, hopefully, save her life. Baby Christopher was put in the intensive care unit, but died 17 days later. Carol Stuart died six hours after the surgery. After giving police his account of the events, Charles Stuart was rushed into emergency surgery. He survived the surgery, but then went into a coma for several weeks after the shooting.2 Mayor Raymond Flynn and Police Commissioner Mickey Roache were immediately told of the shootings.

An estimated 25-30 bands are expected for this year's third annual parade. "We've got far more quality this year-it's going to be bigger and bet­ ter," he says proudly. The event-filled weekend kicks off Saturday with a cattle fair~ sponsored by the Brighton Congregational Church with assistance from the Brighton Board of Trade. In past years the BBOT hasheld fairs the day before the parade, but "some mer­ chants have felt the street fair was ~ounterproductive to business," ex­ plains president Frank Moy. "We wanted to do a family fair outside Brighton Center in [late] September, but the cost of liability insur­ ance .. ,made it not in our best in­ terest to do so." Instead, the BBOT has provided banners for the fair and will sell large, colorful posters of Allston-Brighton, with the proceeds going to benefit the Church's 160th anniversary next year.

This trend, referred to as community unionism, challenges elites‘ narrow distribution of scarce public resources by fighting for community-driven reforms that advance the interests of broadly-shared prosperity (Tattersall, 2010; Reynolds, 1999). Using document analysis and semi-structured interviews, I analyze three broad- based community-labor coalitions that emerged in Los Angeles between 2000 and 2010 to understand how urban governance has changed – both as a result of the progressive community‘s recent coalition building efforts and as a result of the
