THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 13 DISPUTE | FROM Page 8 Management. Police offi cers recommended the dispute be taken up in court, and no legal action was taken at the time. According to MacDonald and Desamours, the dispute could have been the result of an abutter who was unhappy because they were unsuccessful in purchasing the property for themselves. “Since that time, it is my opinion that it has been harassment with respect to the property line,” said MacDonald. “I can show photographs where they are blocking the owner’s access to the property and generally just harassing his proposed use of the property.” Michael Zaccaria of Action Emergency Management Services said there was much more to the story. Zaccaria said he and the other abutters were never notifi ed of the License Commission hearing and didn’t know about Desamours’ plans until last week, when he showed up and tried to install a fence. In addition to the notifi cation issue, Zaccaria said the shed on the used car lot is actually on his property, adding that his business had retained an attorney to address the land issues in court. Zaccaria also claimed that the address Desamours is using for the license, 1087R Broadway, does not exist, and that his quick claim deed from the Registry of Deeds shows the address as 1070 Broadway. “We have an issue with the address,” Zaccaria said. “He’s using our address, 1087 Broadway. We have an issue with the address that we’ve been dealing with for years with that property.” While Desamours has yet to operate his business, Zaccaria also said there have been problems in general with allowing 50 cars for sale on his property. “You can’t fi t 15 cars on the property, and there is no room for customer parking,” he said. “My main concern with the property is the disrepair of the property, the no utilities and the encumbrance it’s had on our facility.” MacDonald noted that many of the complaints had nothing to do with allowing the used car license for the property. “Whether there is a dispute about the lot line, about the placement of the shed, the placement of the fence, or the ownership of the property, if there is a defi cit in the deed, he doesn’t even have to be the owner of the property to apply for the license,” MacDonald said. “He is an experienced, well-qualifi ed, successful businessman who is well qualifi ed to sell cars in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts … he has the right to use that lot for 50 car sales. His encroachment on the other guy’s lot or whatever they did in the past has nothing to do with this applicant.” MacDonald did consent to the continuance of the hearing until October to give the License Commission time to gather more information from other city offi - cials. FOOTBALL | FROM Page 12 Patriots erupt for first win over Medford By Greg Phipps T he strong second-half showing in the previous week's loss to Plymouth South proved to be an omen of better things to come as the Revere High School Patriots football team erupted for its fi rst win of the season last Friday evening at Harry Della Russo Stadium. The Patriots, who ended a six-quarter scoreless stretch by tallying 20 points in the second half against Plymouth, broke the off ense open quickly against the Medford Mustangs last Friday. A combined 165 yards rushing from Maykin Funez Gonzalez and Davi Barreto, who returned to the lineup after missing the fi rst two regular-season games, helped the Patriots to a commanding 42-15 win over the Mustangs. It was the Greater Boston League (GBL) opener for Revere, which improved to 1-2 on the early season. Gonzalez scored two touchdowns and amassed 85 yards on 12 carries. Barreto was even more effi cient, running for 80 yards on just six carries. Barreto reportedly injured himself during the game and isn't likely to play in this Friday's home tilt against the winless Lynn English Bulldogs (scheduled 6 p.m. kickoff ). Having scored nine touchdowns over its last six quarters of football, Revere is also looking stronger in the special teams area. Kicker Felipe Maia made good on all six of his point-after kick attempts against Medford and, as punter, twice pinned Medford deep in its own territory. Revere's off ense against the Mustangs was also highlighted by a 25-yard scoring pass from quarterback Carlos Rizo to receiver Domenic Boudreau and a TD run from Giovanni Woodard. Head coach Lou Cicatelli also credited running back Danny Hou and defensive player Jason Shosho (10 tackles) for their eff ort. Cicatelli told the press this week that this Friday's contest against the Bulldogs provides a good opportunity to get back to.500. It would also aid in earning system points for a playoff bid down the road. He pointed out that, despite losing to Peabody and Plymouth South to start the season, the team earns points for playing those highlyrated teams. # 11 Domenic Bodreau for the Revere Patriots gives instructions to his teammates during their game Thursday with Medford.
