Feature Story

A fond farewell
By Sue O’Connell | Jul 1
This week we bid farewell to South End News and Bay Windows editor-in-chief Laura Kiritsy. Laura joined the papers nine years ago with a dab of experience in journalism and a ton of experience in human behavior and "BS" detection. Laura, after all, is one of the few members of our community who recognized the alleged cracks in Senator Dianne Wilkerson’s veneer and could honestly, objectively and clearly report on it. And when Governor Deval Patrick’s daughter, Katherine, decided to come out publicly, who did the family choose to call with the story? Laura Kiritsy.

By Krittiya Wongtavavimarn | Jul 1

The performance on June 27 at United South End Settlements’ Harriet Tubman House, 566 Columbus Avenue, illustrated how ex-prisoners restarted their lives in a positive, meaningful way after their incarceration lessons.
