The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has determined the bridge is near the end of its functional life. The recent priority repairs made to areas of deterioration were done to improve safety and ensure existing traffi c lanes can remain open during the replacement project. Commission members questioned staff from Howard Stein Hudson, the engineering fi rm leading the project, about schedules, traffic plans, landscaping catch basins and drainage plans. The nearly $19 million project, with the Federal Highway Administration picking up 80 percent of the tab and MassDOT paying the rest, is expected to begin later this year and will take three years to complete. Work will take place in three stages meant to cut down on traffic disruption. During construction, two-way traffi c on the Parkway will continue. According to MassDOT, the median barrier will be removed and there will be temporary lane shifts. Work will start on the south side of the bridge with traffi c moving to the cenBRIDGE | SEE Page 5

(Photo credit City of Revere/Facebook) Music Director Lehmann lauded Beethoven’s Second symphony as one of the composer’s “sunniest works, very much in the style of the great masters Haydn and Mozart.” Lehmann commented that the piece “also was a springboard into (Beethoven’s) own future compositional style, one that would break established molds of the Classical-era style and pave the way for the new ‘Romantic’ period.” Lehmann expressed excitement in welcoming contralto Emily Marvosh onto the NSPO stage. She has appeared recently with the Handel and Haydn SociMusic Director Robert Lehmann conducts the North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra Spring Concert Sunday, April 19 3 p.m. at Swampscott High School featuring music of Beethoven, Straus, JC Bach and more. ety, St. Thomas Fifth Avenue, Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Rhode Island Philharmonic, among others. Emily will sing two works, a soulful Lament by Johann Christoph Bach, (an older cousin to the more famous Johann Sebastian Bach) and a new work by the American composer Caroline Shaw, “Is a Rose.” “’Is a Rose’ is a trilogy of songs set as an orchestral song-cycle composed in 2019”, said Lehmann. “It explores the themes of nature, love and fragility. The work features poetry by Robert Burns, Jacob Polley and Shaw herself. The cycle revolves around the rose as a symbol of beauty, transience, and memory. Shaw’s compositional style is a blend of neo-Baroque and contemporary idioms which seamlessly showcases ‘old’ music in a contemporary setting.” Composer Richard Strauss wrote the concert’s opening piece, “Serenade for Wind Instruments” early in his career. Lehmann noted that Strauss, like Beethoven, paid respect to the Classical traditions in this charming piece that evokes the elegance of a bygone era. The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra, established in 1947, is staff ed largely by volunteer players and is committed to providing access to quality music at an aff ordable price to communities north of Boston. The Orchestra strives to develop, train and provide opportunities for young and amateur musicians, while providing a large range of programs covering the full range of symphonic and pops repertoire for a diverse public.

CORRECTION In a story about the State of the City Address than ran in the March 27 edition of The Revere Advocate, Ward 5 City Councillor Angela Guarino Sawaya was quoted as saying, “The true strength of Revere is within our people.” This quote is not accurate. While Guarino-Sawaya praised Mayor Keefe’s speech, she did not include that sentiment with her comments. The Advocate apologizes for the error. to include in their list of conditions that replacement trees be at least six inches. The bridge replacement project includes 16 new catch basins and upgrades to existing ones. The project team initially proposed a maintenance schedule of annual inspections of the catch basins with cleaning when needed. Commission members felt that, given the area and the amount of debris that collects there, a more aggressive maintenance schedule was needed. In their updated list of conditions, they included quarterly inspections of the catch basins and cleanings when sediment reached fi ve to six inches. Commission members also asked if the brush surrounding the bridge, which collects plastic bags and other trash, could be removed. Project team members said the plan is to clear those areas and plant grass. Commission chairman Nicholas Rudolph thanked the project team for their input. He called the bridge a gateway to the city and said it will be good to see it cleaned up and replaced. “It’s an enhancement for the community,” he said.

Softball shows offensive firepower in season opener T he Revere softball team, led by coach Megan O’Donnell, showed both off ensive fi repower and resilience in a tough 9-6 loss to Minuteman Regional this past week. Despite the setback, the Patriots controlled much of the game early, jumping out to a four-run lead and outhitting their opponent, 10-3.

Ulwick drove in two runs and went 2-for-4 at the plate, continuing to establish herself as a key presence in the lineup. Anna Doucette also contributed with two hits, while Gianna Chiodi added speed on the basepaths with a pair of stolen bases.

Passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on March 31, at the age of 86. Born in Winthrop to the late Joseph A. Morgan Sr, and Agnes (Doherty) the latter of whom he deeply admired for her strength and courage, considering her his hero throughout his life. He was a beloved husband of 61 years to Eileen (O’Loughlin). Tony’s journey through life has been a testament to his generous spirit, loyal heart, and thoughtful demeanor. Wayne G. Anderson try in the United States Army, he embarked on a career in business as a co-owner of Boston Cedar, where he preferred to be recognized as “Tony the Salesman”. His dedication to his work was evident in his desire to be known for his role in sales rather than as a co-owner. Tony’s professional accolade includes a degree from St. Michael College in Winooski, VT. However, it was his genuine engagement in conversations and his unique ability to make everyone feel important and understood that truly set him apart. In the words of Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This quote encapsulates the essence of Joseph’s life philosophy, as he valued his relationships and interactions more than any material possession. An ardent supporter of all Boston sports teams, particularly the Celtics, Tony’s love for Massachusetts was only rivaled by his deep aff ection for his town, Revere. This love called him back to MA even after a brief relocation to Florida. Tony was not only a loyal fan of sports O riginally of Revere. The family of Wayne G.

After about a decade in that career, he joined the Revere Police Department as a police offi cer, following in his uncle’s footsteps, Chief George Corbett. Wayne rose to the rank of Detective and was assigned to the City’s Drug Control Unit. His personable nature and sense of humor enabled him to make an impact beyond the traditional role of a Police Offi cer. Many referred to him as “Mr. Anderson” as he served as more of a father fi gure than a police offi cer to so many. In his retirement, Wayne worked for the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals for over 20 years where he made great, lifelong friends and continued his connection to the City of Revere. Wayne is survived by his wife of over 40 years, Lena (Bono) Anbut also a seasoned player, having grown up playing basketball.
