Volume 35 Issue 35 Thursday, August 31, 2017 50¢ City approves demolition of Treadmark’s five top floors Trinity says it will rebuild by using the original plans

By Jennifer Smith News Editor The owners of the Treadmark building, which was largely destroyed in a six-alarm fire in late June, have won city approval to demolish the top stories of the Dorchester Avenue structure. The company— Trinity Financial, Inc.— said this week that it will begin the work soon with plans to rebuild the mixed-use project over the next year. The firm will likely be doing some aggressive marketing at the same time. A company spokesman, Mathieu Zahler, said that Trinity has lost “roughly half of the buyers” it had originally signed up for the development’s condominium units. The city’s Inspectional Services Department ap- One of the candidates for District 7 Boston City Council is Angie Camacho, who is shown above at the proved Trinity’s plan on Tuesday, said Zahler.

A Message From Whittier Street Health Center’s Wellness Team: September Is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month One in 3 children in the United States is overweight or obese. Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for health problems that were once seen only in adults, like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. The good news is that childhood obesity can be prevented. In honor of National Child- hood Obesity Awareness Month, Whittier Street Health Center encourages you and your family to make healthy changes together. Get active outside: Walk around the neighborhood, go on a bike ride, or play basketball at the park. Limit screen time: Keep screen time (time spent on the computer, watching TV, or playing video games) to 2 hours or less a day.

Make healthy meals: Buy and serve more vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain foods. Taking small steps as a family can help your child stay at a healthy weight. If you are concerned about your child’s weight, ask his or her doctor for a referral to our Healthy Weight Clinic. The clinic’s team includes a nutritionist and a fitness coordinator who will help your family adopt healthy habits.
