1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a nice eye. I'm going mazy Boston's News Radio.

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Madison. What a difference a day makes about

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.560
<v Speaker 2>this time last night, everybody was feeling pretty good about

4
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics. They were headed halftime and they looked like

5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 2>they were on their way to evening up the series,

6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and things all change. Best of luck, thoughts and prayers

7
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 2>for Jason Tatum tonight. Hopefully he can get back on

8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the court at some point next year. That's really what

9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 2>it comes down to. He certainly won't be ready for

10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 2>training camp down. Achilles injury is a tough one. My

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>name is Dan Ray. A lot has happened in the

12
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>last twenty four hours. And as a matter of fact,

13
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 2>we have a new producer. His name is Rob Brooks. Rob,

14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>welcome back, how are you? Very? Rarely is Rob ever

15
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>away for any extended period of time, so I was

16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>joking with him tonight, but no, Rob is back in

17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>his regular position. Ready to set your calls up. No

18
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>calls until nine o'clock tonight. But we will talk with

19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Boston City Councilor Ed Flint about the job status of

20
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>another city councilor who has pled guilty to a federal indictment.

21
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll also talk about the gift of this Boeing seven

22
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>forty seven jumbo jet airliner that has generated so much controversy,

23
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>and we'll see what all of you think about that.

24
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 2>But first we are going to go through our guests

25
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>in our first hour. By the way, I should reintroduce myself.

26
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I am the afore mentioned Dan Ray, the host of Nightside,

27
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and joined now by our first guest of the evening,

28
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Wayne Sours, who's an author. He has combined and worked

29
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on a book with a mutual friend of ours by

30
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the name of Mark Lund, Honored to serve in their

31
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>own words, a book with a collection of stories from

32
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>veterans who have served this country. This is coming out

33
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>before Memorial Day. Wayne, Welcome back to Night's Side. How

34
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>are you?

35
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Hey? Very well, Dan? How about yourself?

36
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Doing great? Doing great? What? When? What's the genesis of

37
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>this idea? It sounds like a great idea on it

38
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>to serve in the wrong words. But how did you

39
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 2>and Mark one to come up with this idea?

40
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, I have to say I provided the stories. I

41
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 3>have a syndicated column called Veteran Spotlight, which I've been

42
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 3>doing for the last oh ten or eleven years and

43
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 3>all these stories that I'm that I'm writing. And Mark

44
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 3>and I think we were having lunch one day and

45
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 3>he said, geez, ever thought about doing a book? And

46
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 3>I yeah, right, And and I will say this, Mark's

47
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 3>just skill and expertise in framing the book and just

48
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 3>what he brought to the table is phenomenal. And I'm very,

49
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 3>very very proud of this book. What we tried to

50
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 3>do is we've tried to humanize the person, the man

51
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 3>or woman that served our country, Dan and and I

52
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 3>think that anytime we can highlight or showcase in the

53
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 3>positive and appropriate fashion, I think that's just that that

54
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 3>really makes the people that have served our country, It really,

55
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 3>you know, makes them feel good. And that's what this

56
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 3>is all about.

57
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 2>So again the title wanted to serve in their own words.

58
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Over the years, I guess you have done about eight

59
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>hundred interviews with men and women who answered the call.

60
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 2>And I kind of imagine that all eight hundred interviews

61
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>are in the book. But how many are in the

62
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>book and what military engagements does the book span?

63
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 3>Well, it goes from world worth is probably about eighty.

64
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 3>I think we have eighty stories and I'm already working

65
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 3>on the second book, because they're just they're just really

66
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 3>very very very summer just out of the ordinary. Some

67
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 3>are very very very powerful. They're heart wrenching, and it

68
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 3>goes expans from World War Two to present and we've

69
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 3>got Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and it

70
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 3>was a real thrill, uh in honor not to be cliches,

71
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 3>to write this book. The oldest person that we have

72
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 3>and is a very very very good friend of mine.

73
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 3>His name is his all name Team Tiso Masaconi. He's

74
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 3>a one hundred and two years old World War Two

75
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 3>vet and was at Pearl Harbor after the Japanese bombed

76
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 3>they brought the army in uh and then he went

77
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>to the Battle of Saikan. He was he was a

78
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 3>combat warrior and then he was at Iwo Jima for

79
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 3>about eight months. And I mean to be one hundred

80
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 3>and two years old, I mean unbelievable. And he's still

81
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 3>he's still got you know, he's still got all of

82
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 3>his faculties. You know, his eyesight. You know, he had

83
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 3>a little trouble with the curveball, but he does so some.

84
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>From as early as World War Two and people who

85
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>are currently serving.

86
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I assume no, No, it's right up to the veterans

87
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>up until you know the present time, not existing about

88
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 3>active military, okay, it's about the veterans, okay.

89
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 2>And this book was published in March. The publication date

90
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 2>is March nineteenth, so it's fresh off the presses, well

91
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>timed for Memorial Day, for summer reading, for Father's Day, birthdays, everything.

92
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a like a great book. And I

93
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 2>do think that there is a there's a real renaissance

94
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I think in this country of people who want to

95
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 2>serve and people who respect and admire those who put

96
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>on the uniform for whatever branch of the service and

97
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>for whatever purpose, but they do spend some time in

98
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>service to the country. And I think there's been a

99
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>huge shift in this country. Those of us who are

100
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 2>old enough to remember the Vietnam era, when wearing the

101
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>uniform was not something that people respected sadly, but obviously,

102
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I think in the last thirty or so years, with

103
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the threat of terrorism at home, people understand that being

104
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>in the military is not going somewhere around the world

105
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>on an adventure. You're going somewhere to make sure that

106
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 2>those battles are not brought to our shore. I think

107
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 2>we have. I think most people have learned that and

108
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>understood it.

109
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that.

110
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that, in your opinion, something that people perhaps now

111
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>more appreciate those who donned the uniform.

112
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, very much so. I think there's there's a lot

113
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 3>of Vietnam veterans in there. The thing that I'm very happy,

114
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 3>delighted and proud of is that a lot of the

115
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 3>veterans that are in that book, I don't know the

116
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 3>exact percentage, but over fifty percent never talked about their service.

117
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 3>And I'm very honored that they felt comfortable with me.

118
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 3>And I want to thank good friend of mine, Brigadier

119
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 3>General Don Quenville, who did the forward to the book,

120
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>and he's very, very very kind to me with his words.

121
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 3>But one Vietnam veteran had said to me, you know,

122
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 3>fifty some years ago, absolutely Ethne hated us, and now

123
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 3>they love us. And I think that's that's how far,

124
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, we've come in that and my purpose for

125
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 3>including the Vietnam veterans and that was to give him

126
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 3>they were welcome home. As we all know that they

127
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 3>were scorned and ridiculed and verbally sometimes physically abused, and

128
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 3>so I wanted to include them in there and give them,

129
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, their long overdue welcome home.

130
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>There were a lot of there were a lot of

131
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Korean War veterans also as fully appreciated. They were sort

132
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 2>of like a hybrid. I mean, everybody from World War Two,

133
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we understood. Are those generations understood the danger

134
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>of the country faced? Uh? Probably Korea was a less

135
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 2>understood war. And then Vietnam obviously was the war that

136
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of people really felt was unnecessary and

137
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>ill and ill informed. But they took it out on

138
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>the warriors, not on the politicians who made the decisions. Well,

139
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like it sounds like a great read. How

140
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>can they get it and what's the I mean? Obviously

141
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I know that they can always go through probably Amazon

142
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 2>and places like that. But do you folks have a

143
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 2>website where they can where they can order it through

144
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>you and perhaps get it inscribed.

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 3>and read the whole.

153
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. I should be there tomorrow actually, so

154
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>depending on when you sent it, we'll pick it up

155
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and we'll read it, and we will share it with

156
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>some people who will also appreciate it as well. That's

157
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 2>the good thing about these books. These books are not

158
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 2>necessarily things you want to just read and put in

159
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 2>a library. That you give them to other people and

160
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 2>allow them to experience and read the stories as well.

161

170
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>This one is the Salvation Army up in Newvery We're

171
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.480

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 2>you to be aware of that. We will also talk

174
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>with an architect about the Martin Richard Fieldhouse which is

178
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.360

<v Speaker 2>tonight want to get sort of a quick update from

180
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.399

<v Speaker 2>phone calls, and talk about what is the significance of

182
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>the ninety day pause for further negotiations on tariff's or

183
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker 2>tariff relief between the United States and China, and of

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Newbury all up there sort of and I would consider

232
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 2>like the Cape Ann area.

233
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.360

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's going to be a great day, a great

245
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.960

<v Speaker 4>come together and celebrate community while also fundraising for an

247
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 4>amazing cause to support our families and households that we

248
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 4>love so dearly. Here.

249
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Now, how much of a problem is this something that

250
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 2>will be for kids benefit kids in school during the

251
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>day or is this for families you know, at home

252
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 2>at night to provide them with dinners and all of that.

253
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 4>So Dan, it's both The Salvation Army Social service and

254
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 4>food and security programs provides multiple areas of food security

255
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 4>here at the Newberry Court Salvation Army. We provide food

256
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 4>security in several areas. One we have a community meal

257
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 4>program where we provide our neighbors and guests with lunch, dinner,

258
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 4>and breakfast during the week where individuals can come and

259
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.320
<v Speaker 4>either sit down in our cafe and enjoy the hot

260
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:23.200
<v Speaker 4>meal there, or several families like to come and pick

261
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 4>up and then enjoy that meal at home in the

262
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 4>evening time with their children and their families. Then we

263
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 4>also have an emergency food pantry where households can come

264
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 4>and shop the food pantry for the items that they

265
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.320
<v Speaker 4>need in our households. And then we also have things

266
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 4>like gift cards and school vacation Week School vacation Week.

267
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 4>I have four kids under the age of twelve, and

268
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 4>when school vacation comes, they eat me out of the

269
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 4>house and I swear my food budgets doubles when they

270
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 4>are home for April vacation or Christmas vacation. So we

271
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 4>have a program where we pack extra available food items

272
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 4>and meals for the week so that families who do

273
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 4>have their children home for vacation will be able to

274
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.480
<v Speaker 4>have snacks and different food items to just kind of

275
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.919
<v Speaker 4>help them along the week so that they can ensure

276
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.240
<v Speaker 4>that they have all the items that they need for food.

277
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, is this the type of program that the Salvation

278
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Army is doing in various cities around the Commonwealth. Or

279
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>is this something that you're doing a new report and

280
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.399
<v Speaker 2>is a real emphasis and push that you folks have

281
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:37.519
<v Speaker 2>decided to take on.

282
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 4>So I think both. I think that there are several

283
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>locations and many over the over Massachusetts that have very

284
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 4>similar programs to us, like the feeding programs and our

285
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 4>food pantries, and even different seasonal opportunities for items for

286
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.840
<v Speaker 4>food and meal programs. As far as the holiday breaks,

287
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.839
<v Speaker 4>that has been something that we've created here because there's

288
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.759
<v Speaker 4>been a great need and we noticed that need about

289
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 4>three years ago. And I related to it very much

290
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 4>as well when I saw that when my children were

291
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.720
<v Speaker 4>home from school they're now all fully school aged kiddos,

292
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 4>that it is tough on the budget when your meals

293
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.680
<v Speaker 4>double and sometimes triple breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all

294
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.960
<v Speaker 4>their snacks and so it can get expensive.

295
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.119
<v Speaker 2>So this is Saturday, this coming Saturday, May seventeenth, give

296
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.279
<v Speaker 2>us the easiest website. Obviously, people in the new report

297
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>area are going to know how to get in contact

298
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>with but if anyone can't participate, they want to make

299
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.079
<v Speaker 2>a donation, They want to get information as to how

300
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 2>they can participate. What's the best way to get in

301
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:50.920
<v Speaker 2>contact with you?

302
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes, the best way to get in contact would go

303
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 4>would be for them to go to Salvation ARMYMA dot

304
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.799
<v Speaker 4>org backslash new very poor that will have all the

305
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 4>information where they can learn more and they can even

306
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.519
<v Speaker 4>register to walk or participate in the event.

307

<v Speaker 2>Salvation Army m a LA or backslash news report. Perfect.

308
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 2>That's perfect, made it easy. Thanks so much. I really

309
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it, Captain Jessica Burkout.

310
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Dan, welcome, talk to you soon.

<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's what we're waiting for. Thank you so much, Dan,

314
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:31.000
<v Speaker 4>have a great evening, you too.

315
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Good night. All right, we get back to talk about

316
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs. The ninety day pause in the tariff war,

317
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.799
<v Speaker 2>not a ceasefire. Maybe it is a ceasefires, but will

318
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>it's a point where I want to talk and we

319
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.880
<v Speaker 2>will in the next segment with our friend Professor Greg Staller.

320
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>He is a China expert, having bend to China about

321
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>fifty times in his academic career taking students over there,

322
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's a professor Business professor at the Questroom Business

323
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.920
<v Speaker 2>School at Boston University. So we'll talk with Professor Staller

324
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 2>right after the news at the bottom of the hour.

325
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news Radio.

326
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Delighted to be joined by good friend, Professor Greg Staller

327
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:27.359
<v Speaker 2>of Boston University, the Questroom Business School. Greg, I know

328
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 2>that in the next couple of weeks we will do

329
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>another hour where we get people to ask you questions

330
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>about this, because I don't care. Most people, me included,

331
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>are trying to figure out what the heck's going on now.

332
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 2>We had Liberation Day on April second, when Donald Trump

333
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>announced the Golden Age of America had begun. The stock

334
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.960
<v Speaker 2>market tanked, and slowly but surely it seems to have

335
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.720
<v Speaker 2>come back. And this week it was announced in Europe

336
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.519
<v Speaker 2>that the war the trade war, there's a ceasefire for

337
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 2>ninety days. Can you explain in layman's terms what's going

338
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 2>on here?

339
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and by the way, thank you again for the

340
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to return. I would call this a targeted tariff reduction.

341
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't call this a trade deal. I would and

342
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:29.599
<v Speaker 3>again I think we need to differentiate amongst the UK deal,

343
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.720
<v Speaker 3>what's going on in China and the other countries around

344
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.079
<v Speaker 3>the globe. I think bespoke is probably the best term

345
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 3>to use in terms of this being customized. I think

346
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 3>this is all a move in the right direction, but

347
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't call it a victory for any one country,

348
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.559
<v Speaker 3>including the United States.

349
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, let's talk. Let's talk about the deal with

350
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 2>the United Kingdom, which generated a lot of interest about

351
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 2>a week ago. What's the bottom line. I'm sort of

352
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:02.920
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys that I want to know what

353
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the score is. Are the Red Sox winning or losing

354
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in by how much?

355
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 3>I feel the same way. I think that if you

356
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 3>look at it in terms of the details, you know,

357
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 3>from the inside out, it accomplishes three things. It reduces

358
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 3>tariffs so specific goods. It maintains a tariff on most goods,

359
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.240
<v Speaker 3>and by the way, the specific goods it reduces it

360
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 3>on are British cars, some steel, some aluminum, et cetera.

361
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 3>And it's also looking to protect jobs in key sectors

362
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:38.400
<v Speaker 3>like car manufacturing and steel, et cetera. Again, I don't

363
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 3>want to insult your listeners by repeating myself, but these

364
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.319
<v Speaker 3>are all steps in the right direction. But to your

365
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 3>point about you know, getting down the brass tats. It

366
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.839
<v Speaker 3>is a three month test, and the jury still out

367
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:53.680
<v Speaker 3>as to whether this is going to become permanent or not.

368
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Including the British the British US deal which they announced

369
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 2>with such fans here also is a tentative. It's in

370
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 2>place for ninety days, and it could be it could

371
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.000
<v Speaker 2>be blown up ninety days from now by either side.

372
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that the circus, that's correct?

373
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:15.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is my take on and I've said

374
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.680
<v Speaker 3>on your show so many times over the years that

375
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a political scientist, I'm not an economist, but

376
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.720
<v Speaker 3>just from a regular business person's perspective, I think that

377
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 3>President Trump didn't have much of a choice. It was

378
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 3>only until today that some of the stock industries have

379
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.480
<v Speaker 3>gotten back into the black. For twenty twenty five, the

380
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 3>bond market's been going crazy, His approval rating has been tanking.

381
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.839
<v Speaker 3>I think this is his effort to try and stabilize everything.

382
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, we know from the Federal Reserve today that

383
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.400
<v Speaker 3>inflation has sort of been tamped down, but it's still

384
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 3>very much a work in progress. I think his constituents,

385
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 3>as well as people who made donations to help him

386
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.880
<v Speaker 3>get elected, were raising their hands saying, what the heck's

387
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.559
<v Speaker 3>going on here? So I think that whether it's the UK,

388
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 3>I think, whether it's China, I think it's whether it's Japan,

389
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 3>and the South Koreans can calling to the White House.

390
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.079
<v Speaker 3>These are all ways to sort of placate his constituents

391
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:16.039
<v Speaker 3>as well, many of whom were business executives, and say

392
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 3>let's try and do a pause and let's see if

393
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 3>we can ameliorate things over the next ninety days.

394
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 2>But when he when somehow, some way we reached out

395
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 2>to China, I believe that was the sequence. If China

396
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>had wanted to, they could have said, hey, we're not

397
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.640
<v Speaker 2>even going to talk to you, never mind negotiate with you.

398
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 2>So the fact that China came to the table and

399
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:48.200
<v Speaker 2>they've had this conversation. According to President Trump, we were

400
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 2>big time in the whole in terms of money that

401
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>we were spending on tariffs and we were not getting

402
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 2>it coming in. I mean, when this is finally done

403
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.440
<v Speaker 2>and finally settled, there will be an accounting.

404
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.720
<v Speaker 3>There will be an accounting. And I think it's important

405
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 3>for all of us, you, myself, your listeners, et cetera,

406
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.039
<v Speaker 3>to not conclude that this is a permanent trade deal,

407
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 3>and I say permanent, there are still ten percent tariffs

408
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.599
<v Speaker 3>that are out there, and with respect to China, and

409
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 3>if you look at what's going on FEDNOL, you know,

410
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.400
<v Speaker 3>all of that has not been eliminated. But I think

411
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 3>this is the epitome, at least visa via Chinese of

412
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 3>the term saving face is. Let me just sets the thought.

413
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 3>The shin Hua News agency, which is all in Chinese,

414
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 3>coming up, they have, you know, given a very typical

415
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Chinese response. The road ahead still requires both sides to

416
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.400
<v Speaker 3>explore and shape it together with wisdom and courage, but

417
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 3>we consider it to be a great victory.

418
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

419
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:54.880
<v Speaker 3>I think we could say the same thing in reverse

420
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 3>from the White House dot gov website.

421
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.400
<v Speaker 2>But when you're talking about China, we're talking about you know,

422
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.599
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about access to some rare earth minerals that

423
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 2>we need. You're talking about computer chips. Uh, you're talking

424
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 2>about intellectual theft, because that's a big problem our many

425
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 2>of our companies have lost billions of dollars to what's

426
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:21.720
<v Speaker 2>called intellectual theft. So I mean there's there's more to

427
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 2>it just than how much we're going to charge you

428
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're going to charge us.

429
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.200
<v Speaker 3>One hundred percent agree.

430
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 2>And you, my audience needs to understand that. And again

431
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not bragging on you here, but but but you

432
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>you're you. You are linguistically capable in seven languages, and

433
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you read and speak Chinese. You've done you had fifty

434
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 2>trips at least to China since nineteen ninety four, so

435
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you know the interior of that country. So you know sociologically,

436
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe not politically, but sociologically. Uh. And so you can

437
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 2>read the statements that come out of Beijing and put

438
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:08.640
<v Speaker 2>your own interpretation on what they're saying and what they

439
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.160
<v Speaker 2>are trying to say and what and in addition, what

440
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>they're implying, because that's the average person is not going

441
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to be able to look at the printed language or

442
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:22.880
<v Speaker 2>listen to the verbiage and have that ability to to

443
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.880
<v Speaker 2>understand that on all of those different levels. That's why

444
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.240
<v Speaker 2>you're so important to my audience. And I mean that

445
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.480
<v Speaker 2>all in all honesty. So now let me just finish

446
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 2>up here. With a couple of minutes that we have left,

447
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 2>it's going to get quiet. The turbulence of April has

448
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.880
<v Speaker 2>has settled down. Okay, how long do you think I'm

449
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.480
<v Speaker 2>not asking for a stock market prediction. But how long

450
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:54.200
<v Speaker 2>do you think the turbulence will stay relatively calm, because

451
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 2>it's got to pick up again as we get close

452
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>to the ninety days. I assume it's not.

453
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:04.799
<v Speaker 3>Right. I think the most interesting data point that I've

454
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.839
<v Speaker 3>been reading about for the past couple of days is

455
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.920
<v Speaker 3>people are pressing send on their order books as fast

456
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:18.079
<v Speaker 3>as humanly possible. The stock of several transportation companies, whether

457
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:21.319
<v Speaker 3>they be on oceans or whether they be trucking companies,

458
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 3>their stocks are up. Everybody's putting the orders in now

459
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 3>and probably stocking up on inventory they're hoping to fill

460
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.440
<v Speaker 3>because nobody knows what's going to happen ninety days. Hence,

461
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 3>and so I know, sort of a nod answer to

462
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.400
<v Speaker 3>the question, no, no, no, no matter is the stock

463
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:43.279
<v Speaker 3>market is booming for the moment, and the orders are

464
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:46.680
<v Speaker 3>whizzing across the internet for the bulvit because people figure

465
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.279
<v Speaker 3>one in the hand is better than two in the bush.

466
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Right. But but there's nothing that the market dislikes more.

467
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>The market wants some form of certainty. And as we

468
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>get closer to this ninety day and period, and at

469
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 2>the end of this ninety day period uncertain he's gonna

470
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.759
<v Speaker 2>bubble up again unless it's just smooth sailing. But I

471
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 2>can't imagine it's gonna be smooth.

472
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm not so sure how i'd agree with that, Dan,

473
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:19.359
<v Speaker 3>because look what happened was then the ninety day deadline

474
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 3>came and went, and they just kicked the can down

475
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.559
<v Speaker 3>the road and extended it. The same thing with TikTok

476
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.759
<v Speaker 3>is we were all set for a firm decision with

477
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 3>all of the you know, with all of the nineties

478
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 3>and the fourteen piece orchestra performing. That wasn't needed. It

479
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 3>was just kicked down the road. But for the moment,

480
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, my contacts are saying, we'll take it to

481
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 3>your point a few minutes ago, stability growth no a

482
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 3>lot during twenty twenty five, we'll take you.

483
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 2>But TikTok still has to get resolved.

484
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I'm agreeing with you.

485
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>That's part of the whole conversation. Yeah, okay, so we're just.

486
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:02.720
<v Speaker 3>We're kicking the can down the road.

487
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

488
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 3>And you know, again, it looks at whether you're a

489
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.759
<v Speaker 3>glass half full or glass half empty curved first, right,

490
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.720
<v Speaker 3>the half full part of me says, well, forward progress

491
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 3>is better than nothing. The balls will be down the field.

492
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.839
<v Speaker 3>The half empty part of me says, yeah, but nothing's

493
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 3>really been memorialized here yet. It's still, to your point,

494
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 3>a work in progress.

495
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I appreciate you being available tonight and giving us

496
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.880
<v Speaker 2>this UH, this update. We'll do something in a couple

497
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>of weeks from now, when when the horizon gets a

498
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 2>little closer and the UH and our vision becomes a

499
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 2>little clearer. Greg Stahler of the Question School of Business

500
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.279
<v Speaker 2>at Boston University is always you're the best. Thanks Thanks, professor,

501
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your time.

502
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.160
<v Speaker 3>My pleasure. Thanks again, Dan, talk to you.

503
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay. When we get back, we're going to talk about

504
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the Martin Richard Fieldhouse, a magnificent structure that will be

505
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>built in Dorchester and will benefit generations of young people

506
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 2>in the memory of one of the four people who

507
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:06.000
<v Speaker 2>lost their lives on the day of the twenty thirteen

508
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Boston Marathon, eight year old Martin Richard. Will be back

509
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:13.759
<v Speaker 2>and talk about this field house and what a tremendous

510
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 2>legacy from Martin Richard. This will be right after the break.

511
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.599
<v Speaker 1>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z,

512
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news radio.

513
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back.

514
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:32.200
<v Speaker 5>I think all of us remember the horrific events of

515
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 5>the Boston Marathon twelve years ago April of twenty thirteen,

516
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 5>that took the lives of four people and eventually an

517
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:43.279
<v Speaker 5>Mit police officer and a Boston Police officer.

518
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>The youngest of the victims, eight year old Martin Richard

519
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 2>of Dorchester, became sort of a symbol of innocence in childhood,

520
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 2>snatched by the heinous actions of the people who put

521
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 2>those pressure cooker bombs on people watching the marathon as

522
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.400
<v Speaker 2>they stood on Boylston Street. However, out of something as

523
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.680
<v Speaker 2>horrific as that now rising as the Martin Richard field House,

524
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people have been involved in that with

525
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 2>us is Kevin Diebler, Kevin Hope, I pronounced your name correctly.

526
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker 2>You're dead and you're an architect with a company called

527
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Road Architects. So you, folks, des I understand, are involved

528
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 2>in the construction of this, this wonderful field house, which

529
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a gathering spot for generations of kids.

530
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>You must be thrilled to be involved with something as

531
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.160
<v Speaker 2>as significant as this this field house.

532
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 6>Yes, and I am really excited to be here tonight. Dan,

533
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 6>thanks for letting me talk about this project and you know,

534
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm Kevin Kevin Devar and more of the co founders

535
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:59.720
<v Speaker 6>of Roady Architects, and we are a firm that kind

536
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 6>of got start in Dorchester about twenty years ago. So

537
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.200
<v Speaker 6>raising our families in Dorchester. My business partner Eric Robinson

538
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 6>and I, you know, we're we're community members and I

539
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.440
<v Speaker 6>would say everyone in Dorchester was very much affected by

540
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 6>that tragedy and it isn't sort of on our minds

541
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.279
<v Speaker 6>that we would play a role in trying to sort

542
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:28.200
<v Speaker 6>of lift up the community with this this project. And

543
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.839
<v Speaker 6>we're you know, our our families, you know, can know

544
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:37.000
<v Speaker 6>the Richards. We play sports, we do activities and arts

545
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 6>with them, and it was a moment where people did

546
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:44.680
<v Speaker 6>focus on the good things that happened in Dorchester. And

547
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 6>I think that the Richard family really kind of we're

548
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.279
<v Speaker 6>sort of that representation of people who care for their community.

549
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 6>So because of the you know circumstances and the you know,

550
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:03.720
<v Speaker 6>uh having their their family impacted by that, we were

551
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:07.799
<v Speaker 6>all very much taken by that kind of community that

552
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 6>that surrounded them with love and support, and it is

553
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.640
<v Speaker 6>just kind of like an amazing thing to be a

554
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 6>part of, you know, looking back at it.

555
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:24.839
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk a little bit about the building, the architect.

556
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I know that the there was a ceremony earlier this

557
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>month if I'm not or late last month. Yes, the

558
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.559
<v Speaker 2>basically it was the groundbreaking how how many people will

559
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.799
<v Speaker 2>this fieldhouse accommodate? Give us a sense of how big

560
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:42.480
<v Speaker 2>it is, what it will involve. You're the architect, you

561
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 2>probably know it better than anyone.

562
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.240
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's true, and others on our team, Lucas and

563
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 6>Aana definitely know the building even better than I do

564
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 6>because they work on it day, day by day. But

565
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.720
<v Speaker 6>it took us nine years to to pull this off.

566
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 6>It was finding land near a Boston public school, The

567
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 6>Ruth bats And Academy right next door has a thousand

568
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 6>kids that we'll be able to use this on a

569
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.239
<v Speaker 6>daily basis, So that that in and of itself is

570
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:12.800
<v Speaker 6>pretty amazing that there's going to be this facility for that.

571
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 6>But within a three mile radius, as we were kind

572
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 6>of studying how this project could impact, there's about fifty

573
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:22.719
<v Speaker 6>thousand kids, and that means that there are you know,

574
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 6>many thousands of families in there that need the kind

575
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 6>of support that the field House will provide. And that

576
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 6>also comes with making sure that we want to mention

577
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 6>the Boys and Girls Clubs of Dorchester playing, you know,

578
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 6>a huge role in this. They will be the sort

579
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 6>of group that can program the facility and sort of

580
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 6>operate it under the way that Boys and Girls Clubs

581
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.719
<v Speaker 6>do their work and their sort of presence in the

582
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:51.440
<v Speaker 6>Dorchester community has always been kind of comforting to families,

583
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:55.679
<v Speaker 6>working families, and you know, I think that the real

584
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:58.280
<v Speaker 6>sort of challenge here is to make sure that we

585
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 6>can do as much as possible under this one roof.

586
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 6>So it has sports facilities, it's got wellness arts, it

587
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:11.440
<v Speaker 6>has spaces for people that have some counseling, and just

588
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:15.920
<v Speaker 6>really a big focus on inclusion and people living with disabilities.

589
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:18.920
<v Speaker 6>So there's there's so many good things to talk about

590
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:20.920
<v Speaker 6>and mostly what we're about to build.

591
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Will will this technically be the boy the Dorchester Boys

592
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 2>and Girls Club or will it simply be a great

593
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.480
<v Speaker 2>facility run by the What's what's the official status? Is

594
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:35.639
<v Speaker 2>what I just want to it's a.

595
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.599
<v Speaker 6>Bit sure, well, you know, we're actually calling at the

596
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.039
<v Speaker 6>Fieldhouse plus and it it really is going to be

597
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:45.679
<v Speaker 6>part of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Dorchester's campus.

598
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.119
<v Speaker 6>And there's a building right across the street that is

599
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.599
<v Speaker 6>sort of the Walter Denny Center, and that really has

600
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 6>been serving the Harbor Point and uh, you know neighborhood

601
00:35:56.679 --> 00:36:00.400
<v Speaker 6>for for many years. And then the clubs all have

602
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:03.519
<v Speaker 6>two facilities, the mar and the McLoughlin Center that's over

603
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 6>in the more proper neighborhood of Dorchester. But this new

604
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:11.880
<v Speaker 6>area will be like a new campus that will serve

605
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:16.119
<v Speaker 6>the entire you know, Columbia Point peninsula out there and

606
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:18.639
<v Speaker 6>be part of all those institutions that are out there.

607
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm sure you'll have basketball courts, swimming pool

608
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:24.679
<v Speaker 2>or is it.

609
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:32.199
<v Speaker 6>Ye as two hard courts and that sort of the

610
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:35.480
<v Speaker 6>The focus started really at the top though. It was

611
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.400
<v Speaker 6>a turf facility, and we were looking for places in

612
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 6>Dorchester to find the room that could house a turf facility.

613
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.480
<v Speaker 6>It was one of these things as parents in Dorchester

614
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:49.440
<v Speaker 6>spent a lot of time on rainy ball fields and

615
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 6>there really aren't places to practice in the in the

616
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 6>off season like other kids in suburbs have, and you know,

617
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:00.840
<v Speaker 6>you travel around and see these amazing facil So it

618
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:03.880
<v Speaker 6>really started with like trying to get this type of

619
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.760
<v Speaker 6>indoor turf facility off the ground, and then as we

620
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 6>found the land right next to this school, we realized

621
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 6>that the open space on that land is also very important,

622
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.519
<v Speaker 6>so we started to make the building a little bit taller.

623
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 6>We've found out we could really almost make it work

624
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:22.920
<v Speaker 6>with three courts, but we ended up with two full

625
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.719
<v Speaker 6>sized basketball courts, second floor track that can walk around,

626
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.400
<v Speaker 6>so everybody can sort of watch their kids while they

627
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 6>walk and get some exercise. But then it has a

628
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:38.000
<v Speaker 6>whole nother wing to it, which includes a theater, teaching kitchen,

629
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:43.239
<v Speaker 6>music clubhouse, and other offices and spaces that can support

630
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.039
<v Speaker 6>and provide wrap around services.

631
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like just a fabulous facility in the memory of

632
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 2>a very special little boy. Martin Richard Kevin appreciate the explanation.

633
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.079
<v Speaker 2>I really now have a sense of it, and I've

634
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.599
<v Speaker 2>talked to people about it, but you really have sort

635
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of focused it for me and hopefully for others, and

636
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.519
<v Speaker 2>now it'll be great when it is finally up and running. Finally,

637
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:06.760
<v Speaker 2>last quick question, what is the hope. I know that

638
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.440
<v Speaker 2>they're doing very well in terms of raising the funds necessary,

639
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:13.880
<v Speaker 2>but do they have a open the doordate yet? Approximately?

640
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:17.800
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I think we hope to be complete in about

641
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.000
<v Speaker 6>eighteen months. That should be at the end of twenty

642
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:24.280
<v Speaker 6>twenty six, opening doors, cutting the ribbon. At that point,

643
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:29.559
<v Speaker 6>fundraising is continuing to happen. They're at about fifty five

644
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 6>million for a seventy million dollars you know building, and

645
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 6>this is seventy five thousand square feet state of the

646
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:41.519
<v Speaker 6>art facility, so the opportunity to give is definitely still there.

647
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 6>So they have a little bit left to raise, but

648
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:48.679
<v Speaker 6>we're definitely seeing the finish line come up. And very

649
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.039
<v Speaker 6>very excited to talk to you tonight, Dan, So thanks

650
