Firefighters rescue ducklings from storm drain By Tara Vocino R evere firefighters were called upon to rescue nine ducklings who were stuck in a storm drain at 18 Griffin St. last Thursday afternoon. According to Capt. Robert Fortuna, Capt. Domenic LaSala along with firefighters Patrick Roosa and Michael Forte arrived at the scene to find a man standing over the storm drain where the ducklings were trapped approximately five feet underground. The crew of Engine 4 used two plastic rakes to scoop the ducklings from the drain. Surprisingly, the first few ducklings jumped back in, but firefighters placed them into a bucket to keep them out of the drain. During the rescue, the mother duck stood anxiously watching the operation from a distance. The ducklings were taken across the street, where the mother retrieved her ducklings. A.B.C.

Basement fire prompts candle safety reminder Fire officials are again stressing the danger of candles after an unattended candle caused approximately $30,000 in damage in a basement fire at 451 Revere Beach Blvd. on May 11. “The fire investigation concluded that an unattended candle lit too close to combustibles was the cause,” Fortuna said. “Many people use candles to light and decorate their homes, but maybe it’s time to consider a safer alternative.” Fortuna also said candles should always be kept in an appropriate container and a safe distance away from anything that could catch fire.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 31, 2019 Page 3 Revere Beach and Short Beach among top water quality beaches in the region By Alexis Mikulski S ave the Harbor/Save the Bay, an organization founded out of Boston, released its annual water quality report card on Memorial Day. This report card features good news for Revere residents. Revere Beach and Short Beach are on the list of beaches that have gone up in water quality since 2017. Revere Beach has a six-year average of 97% clean water quality, while Short Beach has a six-year average of 91% clean water quality. According to Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, despite the record rainfall last year, 13 of the 15 metropolitan beaches scored over 90%, with seven achieving perfect scores of 100%. For all of the beaches combined, overall water quality was up from 95% in 2017. Revere Beach was the first public beach established in the United States. Located just north of Boston, it features paved walkways, numerous surrounding restaurants and easy access from downtown Boston via the MBTA. Short Beach speaks to its name and is a much smaller beach located south of Revere Beach. It was voted one of the best Boston beaches by Boston Magazine and is known for its serenity, sandcastle building and swimming. Both Revere Beach and Short Beach are open to the public from Dawn to Dusk. Save the Harbor/Save the Bay was first established in 1986 by an attorney who had a dream of a clean Boston Harbor. Since its start, the organization successfully advocated for the completion of the Boston Harbor Cleanup, leads and manages the Metropolitan Beaches Commission and strengthens Boston’s waterfront neighborhoods and beach communities. Their website states, “Today we are the region’s leading voice for clean water and continued public investment in Boston Harbor, the region’s public beaches, the Boston Harbor Islands and serve as the Boston Harbor Connection for a generation of young people and their families.” The Director of Strategy and Communications for Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, E. Bruce Berman, Jr., said, “Save the Harbor believes that sound science and good data are critical to the success of the Boston Harbor cleanup. Our annual Metropolitan Beaches Water Quality Report Card gives the public important information they need to make informed decisions about where and when it is safe to swim on the region’s public beaches from Nahant to Nantasket.” Save the Harbor/Save the Bay emphasizes the importance of making smart decisions about where to swim, especially as the summer draws near. They urge the public to use common sense, as well as the report included in this article, as tools to make an informative and safe choice.

The ceremony was especially meaningful for Charlie Giuffrida of the Revere Recreation Department. “It means a lot personally and professionally,” Giuffrida said, “that for the rest of time this field will be named after my five-year best friend and middle school exgirlfriend.” Giuffrida said Vanessa was the best person that he’s ever met, adding that she was unique and full of life. “She was always laughing and had everyone feeling good,” Giuffrida said. Speaking about Tony, Giuffrida said he was a tremendous coach and pillar of the Ardagna family. “We were devastated when we heard that he passed,” Giuffrida said. “There wasn’t a day that he stopped coaching.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 31, 2019 Gov. Baker refiles legislation to increase penalties for child predators B OSTON – Governor Charlie Baker recently refiled legislation to strengthen penalties for child predators and reform the civil commitment process for sex offenders. First filed in June 2018, the legislation will require a full hearing by a court to resolve disputes over whether a sexually dangerous person should be released from custody. This legislation also increases the mandatory minimum penalty for rape of a child with force by a person previously convicted of sexual offenses to life without parole, and establishes a new child predator offense for rapes of multiple children with force with a mandatory penalty of life without parole. Inadequacies in the current system were recently highlighted by the case of Wayne Chapman, an admitted and convicted repeat child rapist, who was found not sexually dangerous by two qualified examiners and was ordered to be released through a recent decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. “The case of Wayne Chapman proves that the Massachusetts criminal Eastern Bank Bldg. on RT-1 605 Broadway, #301 Saugus, MA 01906 (781) 233-6844 www.bostonnorthdental.com justice system is falling short when it comes to keeping serial child predators out of our communities and behind bars, and this bill is aimed to address this very concern,” said Baker. “We look forward to working with the Legislature to pass our legislation, protect our children, and keep our neighborhoods safe by preventing the future release of extremely dangerous individuals convicted of heinous crimes.” The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently affirmed a Superior Court decision ordering Chapman’s release, ruling that the Commonwealth’s civil commitment statute does not permit a trial if two qualified examiners agree that the individual no longer remains sexually dangerous, even if other equally qualified experts disagree. The legislation filed by Governor Baker would reform that statute so that any disagreement among experts will result in a trial at which a judge or jury can hear all the evidence about whether a person remains sexually dangerous and make a fully informed decision regarding release. “It’s vital that our court system treats crimes against children with the seriousness they deserve,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “By strengthening the review process for child predators, we can ensure that dangerous individuals remain off our streets and away from our children and communities.” “We need to act quickly to update to our laws to better protect public safety and support victims who deserve to be heard,” said Attorney General Maura Healey. “This legislation makes meaningful changes to the process to prevent dangerous people from being released.” Dr. Priti Amlani · Restorative Dentistry · Cosmetic Dentistry · Implant Restorations · Zoom Whitening · Teeth in a Day - All on 6 Full Mouth Rehabilitation Before After Dr. Bruce Goldman Dr. Bhavisha Patel · Invisalign · CEREC Crowns (Single visit crowns) · Root Canal Treatment · Sedation Dentistry “Our court system needs the tools necessary to keep convicted serial predators like Wayne Chapman from hurting more defenseless children,” said Secretary of Public Safety and Security Thomas Turco. “These individuals simply pose too great a threat to the most vulnerable members of our community to be given another chance to reoffend.” “Our office is always working to protect the public and exploring every possible way to do that, including making necessary changes in the law,” said the president of the Massachusetts District Attorneys’ Association, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz. “Gov. Baker’s bill would strengthen the penalties for child predators and reform the civil commitment process. We are all working together with a common goal: to keep our communities safe from repeat sex offenders. This bill will aid in that effort and I urge the Legislature to move forward and pass it.” “There is no question that the safety and security of our children remains the number one priority of law enforcement,” said the president of the Massachusetts Major City Chiefs of Police, Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes. “Accordingly, we need safeguards to protect these children from serial rapists who reoffend after release. We reserve life in prison only for the most egregious offenders, and repeat child rapists are among them by any reasonable definition.” J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 31, 2019 Page 11 Hormel Stadium to host Medford Soccer Night as Boston City FC faces Brooklyn Italians B OSTON – Boston City Football Club (FC) plays the first of two National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) matches in Medford this Saturday, June 1, when the famous Brooklyn Italians are the visitors to Hormel Stadium – kickoff 7 p.m. As part of a continued alliance with Medford Soccer, the Lions will welcome local youngsters from the city’s soccer program to watch the action and serve as ball kids and player escorts during the match. This is the third time Boston City FC and Medford Soccer have partnered through the club’s Youth Soccer Partner Program, which includes multiple benefits, such as match day activities, coaching and player education and Boston City FC player and coach inclusion in the Medford community. In 2017 and 2018, several Boston City FC players arrived at Medford High School in the club’s branded minibus for a “Pitch Invasion” as they took over Medford Soccer sessions. The players and coaches spent two hours teaching soccer fundamentals using fun training drills, while partner Fitzgerald Physical Therapy Associates gave instruction on warm up exercises to help avoid injuries. “One of the pillars of our philosophy of being a club that is active in the local community is engaging local youth soccer players, so this Saturday’s match will be very special for everyone associated with Boston City FC,” said the club’s Managing Director, Craig Tornberg. “We have established a wonderful relationship with Medford Soccer during the past three years and are delighted to continue that during the current season and welcome the next generation of soccer enthusiasts to our home match at Hormel Stadium.” The Lions have played their first two matches of the 2019 NPSL season at Harry Della Russo Stadium and will bring competitive action against two of the league’s top-ranked teams to Medford. This Saturday’s opponent, the Brooklyn Italians, has won three straight matches, while the legendary New York Cosmos, who visit on June 15, are the league leaders with five wins. Boston City FC arrive at Hormel Stadium having beaten Greater Lowell Rough Diamonds 2-1 last week with two goals from joint top-scorer John Dumbuya, but lost the return match 2-0 on Sunday. Tickets for Saturday’s match and remaining home games are available from $12 at https:// www.bostoncityfc.com/product/season-tickets/ and can be purchased at the venue on game day, with prices frozen for the fourth straight season.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 31, 2019 Page 17 Patriots softball team clinches state tourney berth with win over Malden By Joe Mitchell T he Revere High School softball team (10-9) is in the state tournament after its 13-9 victory over Malden last week, but Coach Joe Ciccarello remains concerned about his squad’s overall persona. “The win over Malden didn’t come without some drama,” Ciccarello said. “We were leading, 10-2, and I thought we would end it that way. However, as we have been doing all year long, we gave up a bunch of runs in one inning and made it interesting.” But on a positive note, Eve Lescovitz and Julianna Raffa came through with some big hits, according to Ciccarello, to keep their teammates in command of the game. Senior Day, last Friday, didn’t go according to plan when Beverly came to town and ended up beating the local nine, 12-4. “We played well for six innings, once again, before Beverly scored seven runs in the top of the sixth inning to secure the win,” said Ciccarello. “We play well for so long, but just can’t finish games,” added the veteran coach. It was also the same old story against non-league Newton South on Monday afternoon, May 27. The Pats were winning, 7-1, but once again they had trouble maintaining the advantage in the sixth. Newton South scored nine runs in the home half of the frame to end up winning the game, 10-7. “This is insane. We played really well again for five innings, and then make a folly of errors and bad plays once things go south,” said a frustrated Ciccarello. “We just seem to lose focus and develop bad body language when things get tough. No one can step up and stop the bleeding.” “It’s tough to expect a turnaround, but we do have the talent to do it. It’s just a matter of focusing on the entire game,” added Ciccarello. The Revere girls have one more regular season game left, and it’s against non-league Austin Prep this Saturday, June 1, at home, beginning at 10 a.m. It will certainly be a good tune-up for the postseason, and another opportunity to straighten out their late game missteps. The MIAA will announce the state tournament pairings on Tuesday, June 4, and the Patriots will begin the second season no earlier than Wednesday. Check out www.miaa.net on Tuesday night for the complete list of the tournament pairings. Baseball Pats wind down the season with wins over Malden, Somerville By Joe Mitchell The Revere boys, like their T he Revere High School baseball team (5-11 in the Northeastern Conference, 7-12 overall) is wrapping up the season on a positive note after beating Malden (8-5) and Somerville (10-2) this past week, while losing just once to non-league Woburn Monday afternoon, 6-2. The Pats took on host Boston Latin May 30 after press deadline to complete another campaign under the direction of coach Mike Manning. If they defeated Latin, they would have exceeded last year’s mark, while at least accomplishing one of their preseason goals. peers, always have the state tournament in sight every year, but for coach Manning if that wasn’t realistic he wanted them to at least surpass the previous year’s win total, and a victory yesterday would have done that. Next spring, they will be a part of the new Greater Boston League, along with Medford, Malden, Somerville and Everett.
