The bombing came just hours after unwelcome revelations in the press that the new British gov- ernment, led by the buffoonish Boris Johnson, seems to be girding itself for what is known here as a “hard Brexit”— the re-installation of a “hard” border between the Republic and the North, which was eliminated two decades ago in a bilateral agree- ment aimed at ending the “Troubles” and creating a roadmap for a lasting peace. If the British do withdraw from the European Union — a decision now just 72 days off— that choice will threaten to upend the fragile peace that has — for the most part— stuck since 1998. There’s a mix of opinions on the subject here in Ireland’s West and, in some ways, it feels much like the calm before the storm. Whether that storm will be a real gale or a tempest in a teapot is the ques- tion of the day. There can be no question that opportunists on either side of the sectarian divide in the North seem primed to seize the moment to advance their own narrow agendas— to settle scores that may have little to do with the day-to-day lives of regular people on this island.

Geoffrey Canada featured at new forum on civic change agents Geoffrey Canada, founder and president of Harlem Children’s Zone, will help the Edward M. Kennedy Institute kick off a new forum in September. The Stone Social Impact Forum will be an annual event highlighting leaders who advance social change and address areas of inequality in society. The forum plans its kickoff on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Institute in Dorchester. In addition to this other work, Canada is the author of two books, “Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence in America” and “Reaching Up for Manhood: Trans- forming the Lives of Boys in America.” The James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Foundation is helping to fund the forum, which is being held in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. In a statement, Catherine Stone said Canada’s “lifetime of visionary leadership breaks barriers and crosses sectors in innovative ways. The story of Harlem Children’s Zone draws in civic education, community engagement, economic development, and many other elements that connect to the missions of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute and the John F. Kennedy Li- brary Foundation.” (SHNS) Free Movie nights in city parks Mayor Martin J.
