April 18, 2013 The Reporter Page 5 Bomb kills Dot boy, injures mom, sister Faces in the Park (Continued from page 1) older son, Henry, were not seriously hurt in the blast, which was the second of two explosions that tore through a crowded sidewalk along Boylston Street at 2:50 p.m. Three people were killed in the attack, the other two having been identified as Krystle Marie Campbell of Arlington, a catering manager, and Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student who was a native of the Chinese northeastern city of Shenyang. Another 176 people were injured, many of them badly. The Richard family had spent the afternoon in the area watching the runners and enjoying a beautiful spring day in the city. Despite some media reports to the contrary, Bill Richard — who is an avid runner— was not competing in this year’s race. The family members were spectators who sought a vantage point near the race’s finish line to cheer on runners, including friends and acquaintances from Dorchester. Word of the injuries spread quickly through the family’s tight-knit Ashmont-Adams neighborhood, where both parents are known and respected as civic leaders. Bill Richard has served as board chairman of the Photos by Paige Buckley and Mike Deehan St. Mark’s Area Main Street group and has played a key role in the transformation of Peabody Square over the last decade. The family is deeply involved in all facets of life in Dorchester, from little league baseball and soccer to their church, St. Ann’s parish in Neponset. On Tuesday, neighbors who have worked with the Richards to beautify and modernize Peabody Square, placed black bunting along the fence rail of the landmark clock on Dorchester Avenue, which was re-set and stopped at 2:50 p.m. Martin, a third-grader at Neighborhood House Charter School (NHCS) on Pope’s Hill, is remem- bered as a compassionate, smart, energetic boy who loved sports and excelled as an athlete and a student. “Martin could always be counted on to help another student,” said Kevin Andrews, headmaster at the school. “Teachers loved that about him. He really stood out as a helpful kid, very polite and well-raised.” Denise Richard, a native of Savin Hill, serves as the school librarian at NHCS. Jane Richard, a first-grader at the school, is “a sparkling, smart little girl” who was “a little shy” when she first began classes this year, but who “loves giving hugs,” according to Andrews. “This is a strong family,” Andrews said. “We are concerned about the trauma they’ve been through.” Andrews said that the school had opened its doors on Tuesday of April vacation week to begin grief counseling for parents, students, and faculty. “The Boston Public Schools, Dr. Carol Johnson, the Mayor’s Office— they’ve all been tremendous in giving us all the resources we need,” he said. Judy Tuttle, a neighbor and close friend of the Richard family, is among many in the Carruth Street neighborhood who have watched the Richard kids grow up. Tuttle said she will hold tight to a memory from last Friday, when she watched Denise and Martin walking up the street to buy a gallon of milk in nearby Peabody Square. “I said to myself, ‘That’s a special eight year old who still holds hands with his mom like that.’” Tuttle said that Jane had recently begun taking Irish step-dancing classes. “She really took to it. She loved to show us her new steps,” Tuttle said. Friends and neighbors flocked to Tavolo Ristorante in the Carruth Building to watch news coverage and swap information late into the night on Monday. Jim Keefe, a friend of the Richard family who lives in the Ashmont area, was among them. Keefe’s own sons, Nick and James, had run the marathon earlier in the day. Nick, 28, crossed the finish line on Boylston Street just seconds before the first bomb detonated less than a block away. “I heard this earth-shattering boom. I turned and saw this plume and then I heard a second boom, just as loud and earth-shattering,” said James Keefe. “I almost blacked out from fear.” Neither of the Keefe brothers was injured and they reunited with their parents a few blocks from the scene of the crime.

Vote April 30th in the Democratic Primary Page 8 THE Reporter April 18, 2013 Editorial Stop all the clocks The clock in Peabody Square didn’t stop itself. Jeff Gonyeau, a neighbor from Ocean Street, has the only set of keys to the restored timepiece that stands watch at the corner of Ashmont Street and Dorchester Ave. On Tuesday morning, Jeff walked down to the square and set the clock to 2:50 p.m.— the precise time on Monday when our world stopped. Jeff had the Richard family in his heart and a heart-wrenching W.H. Auden poem on his lips: “Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.” Jeff laid out black bunting along the railings that surround the clock— as tasteful a roadside memorial as one will ever find. Bill and Denise Richard helped restore the old Peabody Square clock. They led the charge to reconfigure the intersection to make it safer. They gave oversight to the long-time-coming reconstruc- tion of Ashmont Station and paved the way for a new landmark building, the Carruth, to rise above the stations’s once-forlorn frontage. Bill led the Main Street organization as board president for years and — along with men and women like Chris Stanley, Chris Douglass, Nancy Anderson and her late husband Vince Droser, Jim and Christina Keefe and others– he and Denise have made their corner of our neighborhood a better place. “Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.” When they weren’t volunteering most of their personal time to transform Bill’s adopted home of Dorchester, they were busy raising a family. Three kids, all adorable, none perfect. Dorchester kids who liked to step-dance, play street hockey, and sing Irish tunes. Martin Richard was a little boy who charmed his teachers, annoyed his sister, and rough-housed with his big brother. He could be mischievous, but was old-school polite with his elders and peers. He loved the Bruins and Dustin Pedroia and going skiing with his dad. He wanted to be a hockey goalie, even though he wasn’t yet a hockey player. He was a fierce competitor on the fields of Garvey, Pope Park and McConnell playground— where he was destined for greatness. When he wasn’t scoring touchdowns and batting homers, he liked to star-gaze and learn astronomy from his next-door neighbors, who in Dorchester, are like family even if there’s no relation.

“The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.”

Martin was only 8 and he still held his mother’s hand last Friday when they walked to the Tedeschi’s for a gallon of milk. Martin wasn’t a saint and he shouldn’t be made a martyr or a symbol. He was a little boy who got killed because someone— some unknown person or group— has some perceived grievance against us. ‘Here I am, part of this. We all are’ Our world has stopped. For some of us it will stay By Adam Feeney determination intact—the voices and cheers from that way forever.

While a Boston Police car was parked out front, and the road had been blocked off, a South Boston woman and her two Boxers ran across the parking lot. Just a few feet away from the burned-out side entrance into the JFK Library, construction crews worked on the skeleton of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, which remains under construction next door. Inside the entrance, a brown cigarette re- ceptacle sat in a melted heap among the rest of the debris.
