D’Ambrosio thanked his opponents – Michael Toto Jr., Albert Terminiello Jr. and John Kingston – for running excellent campaigns as well. Although D’Ambrosio would have been happy with any outcome that resulted in his election, he feels blessed that he received an overwhelming majority of votes. “I’m so honored and humbled by the voters’ support,” D’Ambrosio said. “This city means the world to me – it’s given my family everything.” Calling it his dream and greatest honor of his life, he said he’d absolutely do it again and that he didn’t look upon the long hours as a sacrifice. “I definitely owe my wonderful girlfriend a bit more face time after this campaign,” he joked.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8 , 2019 Page 7 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ Zoning “‘Fright Night’ … in Revere’s City Council Chambers” To the Editor: Passing the Revere Recreation Center, I caught sight of a sign for Fright Night which stated that it was on November 3rd. I thought surely there must be a mistake for “Fright Night” took place on Monday, October 28th, 2019 in Revere’s City Council Chambers in City Hall. At the meeting, there was a request to change the zoning map of a lot on Sigourney Street from residential to commercial. This change will have a drastically adverse impact on traffic at an already congested intersection – Sigourney Street and Squire Road. Most importantly, if this area can so easily be rezoned here, it can be rezoned anywhere. How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and the house next door had been converted to a strip club? During the council meeting Ward 1 Councilor Joanne McKenna stated that she wanted to hear from the abutters of the residential property on Sigourney Street. However, did abutters receive any notice of this meeting? The answer is: NO abutters were ever notified by the City of Revere of the Revere City Council Meeting in which a hearing was ordered on the application of 338 Squire Road LLC, to change the zoning district of the vacant lots from residential to commercial. The residential area is located directly behind the gas station and Joe’s Market at 338 Squire Road. Councilor McKenna was the only councilor to question the hours of operation of the existing gas station and mini mart at 338 Squire Road. The answer she received: 24 HOURS. The business operates 24 hours meaning that this change from residential to commercial will have a major impact on the neighborhood and the quality of life of those who live in the area. This impact will exist for all 24 hours of the day. City Councilor Steve Morabito questioned whether security cameras would be installed. In addition, Councilor Morabito spoke about potential loud noise that would impact the neighborhood by this potential zoning change. Councilor Morabito also questioned whether the change would cause the area to become a “drug hangout.” Councilor McKenna was vocal in stating that she wouldn’t want the expansion of the gas station next door to her own home. If this is allowed by the City Council in this residential area then it could happen in any residential space in the city. I urge you to contact your city councilors and voice your concerns regarding increased TRAFFIC, NOISE, POLLUTION, and CRIME which will impact anyone living or traveling in the area. THIS CHANGE CREATES AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. No other councilors asked questions in regard to this change which will negatively impact everyday activity in the city. I am writing to let you know that these facts will not be swept under the rug as has been attempted. As Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We would like our voices heard as we state that there is no need for expansion of the current gas station at 338 Squire Road which will have a negative impact on the quality of the neighborhood and the quality of life of those men, women, and children living in the area. Changing the zoning from residential to commercial will have a serious and detrimental impact on PUBLIC Enjoy Everett’s Unique Steak House We offer an authentic dining experience featuring homemade recipes from Brazil, passed down from generations.

Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8 , 2019 Patriots advance by drubbing Dracut, 42-6 By Greg Phipps I t’s appearing more and more like this may be a special season for the Revere Patriots’ football program. Running back Joe Llanos had his usual productive game, rushing for 135 yards and two touchdowns, and the defense held the opponents to one score in leading the Patriots to a convincing 42-6 drubbing of Dracut in the opening round of the Div. 4 North playoffs last Friday night at Harry Della Russo Stadium. Second-seeded Revere remained unbeaten at 8-0 and move on to host No. 3 Wayland (6-1) in the semifinal round on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Della Russo. The winthe staff traveled to the WaylandWakefield game last Saturday, and they were able to scout the Warriors, who knocked off Wakefield, 27-14. “We’re going to enjoy this for now, but we go back to work Saturday [and] we’ll watch film Sunday,” he told the press after last Friday’s first-round win. “This is just the beginning and, hopefully, we can keep it going.” Cicatelli had concerns about a seventh-seeded Dracut squad that appeared better than its 3-4 record entering last Friday’s affair. His worries were quickly reduced when Billy Ginepra returned the opening kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown and a 6-0 Revere lead. “When you Billy Byrne-Ginepra returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown, making it the third game in a row the Patriots have scored a touchdown on their first time touching the ball.

The Patriots knocked off the Magicians three weeks ago at Marblehead’s home field. Of course, it only gets tougher for Revere, which has risen to every challenge thus far this season. Head coach Lou Cicatelli and his staff have had a chance to study and get a book on this week’s opponent. Both he and can make big plays, especially at home with the home crowd, it’s definitely helpful,” said Cicatelli of Ginepra’s game-opening TD. A 12-yard scoring run by Jonathan Murphy and a successful PAT kick by Rayan Riazi increased the advantage to 13-0. It became a 21-0 contest in the second quarter when Llanos raced 19 yards for a score, followed by a two-point pass play from quarterback Calvin Boudreau to Murphy. Dracut scored its only points before the half but wouldn’t light up the scoreboard again. The Patriots did the rest of the scoring. Two TDs in the third quarter – a 19-yard jaunt by Llanos after a Revere fumble recovery inside Dracut’s 30, and an eight-yard run from Adetayo Atitebi – built the margin to 35-6, and the Patriots never looked back. Zach Furlong would add a 16yard rushing TD in the fourth period to account for the final result. Riazi made good on four of his five PAT kick attempts, and Llanos, with another 100plus yard game, is well over 1,000 rushing yards in what has amounted to a stellar comeback season after suffering a seasonending injury last year.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8 , 2019 Page 9 Revere-based organization names horse after Winthrop detective By Tara Vocino O n Saturday afternoon on the Winthrop town common, Winthrop Police Det. Judith Racow was the first female officer to have a Horses and Heroes award named in her honor. The House of Representatives and State Senate both presented Racow with a citation for her “incredible bravery in the line of duty.” During an undercover buy on Everett Avenue in Chelsea on Nov. 8, 1995, Racow was allegedly kidnapped during what she referred to as “a drug investigation gone bad.” The suspect tried to hit her in the head and crash the car that they were riding in into trees, according to Racow. Therefore, The Horses and Heroes Foundation, a Revere-based organization, named a horse after her. The nonprofit organization focuses on naming horses after Massachusetts officers who are recipients of the Trooper Hanna Award. That commendation is named after George L. Hanna, who lost his life during a motor vehicle stop on Feb. 26, 1983. That annual award applauds other officers who have displayed acts of bravery during their careers. “I feel honored to be the first female officer to have a Horses and Heroes award named in my honor,” Racow said. Racow is one of the only officers from Winthrop and one of only 19 women to be the recipient of the Trooper Hanna Award for bravery. The Horses and Heroes Foundation was established to partner donated police horses named in Shown from left to right are son Devin, son Michael, husband Steven, Police Det.

Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8 , 2019 Lady Pats finish with 14 wins, set for playoffs By Greg Phipps F inishing up the regular season with a win, a loss (their first of the season) and a tie, the Revere High School girls’ soccer team prepared for the postseason tourney, which opened this week. The No. 1 seeded Lady Patriots squared off in the quarterfinal round against eighth-seeded Acton-Boxboro on Thursday at Harry Della Russo Stadium (after press deadline). The Lady Patriots completed a historically-good 14-1-3 regular season with a 1-1 deadlock at Lowell last Tuesday, Oct. 29. They suffered their only defeat at Haverhill (a 6-0 loss) back on Oct. 25. Revere’s most recent victory was a 2-0 shutout triumph at Lynn Classical on Oct. 23. First period goals by Carolina Bettero and Nahomy Galvez Martinez turned out to be enough in the win over Lynn Classical, as the Lady Patriots were able to fend off some LC pressure in the second half and come away with the shutout win. It was a matter of Revere making good on its opportunities and the hosts missing out on theirs. After the contest head coach Megan O’Donnell talked about the team’s strong chemistry and togetherness. “They’ve bonded really well, they’re keeping their heads up and staying positive,” she told the press. “That’s one thing this team has taken from the past – working together and staying positive.” The Lady Patriots also accomplished a first this season when they defeated Malden, 2-1, on Oct. 21. For the first time in the program’s history, the Lady Patriots earned the right to be called co-champions of the Greater Boston League (GBL), as they notched a share of this year’s league championship. Bettero scored twice to help lead the playoff-bound Lady Patriots to victory. Teammates Sofia Chorqi and Maddy Yanes assisted on the goals. That win was followed up by a 6-0 Senior Night triumph over Charlestown on Oct. 22 at Harry Della Russo Stadium; five players scored their first-ever varsity goals. “Charlestown played us tough on Senior Night but we were able to get a few players their first varsity goals,” said O’Donnell. Two seniors, Elsy Romero and Wissam Benzerdjeb, netted their T Revere’s Jackelynn Zapata raced a Lynn Classical player to the ball in a recent 2-0 win at Manning Field in Lynn.

(Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) in the first round of the Div. 1 North playoffs at Harry Della Russo Stadium. The Lady Patriots finished 12-3-2 and made their first postseason appearance in over 30 years. Revere was seeded fifth in this year’s tournament. Unfortunately, the Lady Patriots drew a tough No. 12 seed in Chelmsford, which advanced to the semifinals before losing to Acton-Boxboro. The visiting Lady Lions got the better of Revere in winning Wednesday’s opening round, 6-0. In volleyball action, Revere received an unusual bid by being placed in the Div. 1 Central/East bracket. The sixth-seeded Patriots traveled to take on No. 3 seed King Philip in a quarterfinal round match on Monday. (Revere was given a bye in the first round.) The Patriots were defeated in three sets, but it didn’t take away from a season of accomplishment. Revere finished 13-8 overall, captured the Greater Boston League crown by going 7-1 in league play and advanced to the postseason tournament for the second-straight season.

It was truly amazing.” Three other Revere players – Camila Perez, Imane Douane and Kyra Delaney – also scored for the first time at the varsity level. Luana Barbosa knocked home the other tally for the Lady Patriots Revere captain Lynzie Anderson and the rest of the Patriots squad saw their fine volleyball season end with a first-round playoff loss on Monday.

Many of the streets in West Revere are named for members of this distinguished family: Ann Road, Joey Road, Johnny Road, Camille Road, Assunta Road, Festa Road, according to Arrigo. “He never outgrew the youthful enthusiasm he had for his city and his family,” Arrigo said. “He was a veteran, distinguished businessman and family man.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8 , 2019 Page 17 We’re On To the Future Savvy Senior ~ OP-ED ~ By Mayor Brian M. Arrigo W inning an election is like being hired for a job:It’s nice to know you’re wanted… and now it’s time to get to work. Unlike a regular job, though, the job that follows election as the City’s Mayor has one unique initial task, and that is to bridge the divide that naturally forms during a one-against-one political campaign. Over the last seven months, City Councilor Dan Rizzo and I set forth different views for the future of Revere in our lively campaigns for Mayor.We both enjoyed the support of passionate backers who worked tirelessly toward victory.As in any campaign, the dialogue and literature might have become fiery at times, but that is most often a function of excited enthusiasm for a candidate’s message. While of course I am gratified that the voters returned me to the Mayor’s office and endorsed my ideas for city’s future, I am well aware of the many good intentions among those who did not vote for me.Now, it is essential that we all join in singular pursuit of the one idea that is the source of everyone’s passion: progress and improvement in our city. I don’t expect unanimous approval of every decision I make during the next four years.But I promise that every one of those decisions will be guided by my heartfelt conviction in what I believe is best for the City of Revere.Everyone -whether they voted for me or not -- deserves to harvest the rewards that our City’s progress will produce. Our city’s growth was a major topic of the Mayoral campaigns.I see that growth as the catalyst to our future.As future development grows out of vacant, unproductive properties, as new hotels open in our city, as Amazon matures into the City’s largest employer, and as the historic reformation of Suffolk Downs unfolds in the years to come, Revere will be situated like never before to seize opportunities that for too many years have passed us by.Our location and our population always have made Revere a city with the potential for greatness.Now, we have the chance to turn that potential into reality. Will challenges accompany our growth?Yes.But we are resolute in our approach to address the consequences of growth.Modern technology, a strong working relationship with our State and Federal delegations, and cooperative efforts with our commercial sector will assure the most effective remedies that minimize the effects of growth while we maximize its positive results. This is the dawn of a new, vibrant Revere.We are a diverse, welcoming city where families of all backgrounds can work and build a better life for themselves.Growth translates to municipal prosperity, and that produces a higher quality of life for everyone. In the next four years, I extend a welcome to every resident of Revere to join me along the path of prosperity.We have made great strides, and we are far from done.

How to Create an Ethical Will Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on ethical wills and how to make one? The attorney that made up my will recently suggested I write one as a tool to explain the intentions of my will, as well as express my thoughts and feelings, but I don’t know where to start. Interested Senior Dear Interested, An ethical will – also referred to as a legacy letter – can be a valuable complement to your legal will, as well as a wonderful gift to your family or other loved ones. Here’s what you should know along with some tips to help you make one. Ethical Wills Unlike a last will and testament, which tells your loved ones (and the legal world) what you want them to have, an ethical will (which is not a legal document) tells them what you want them to know. With an ethical will, you can share with your loved ones your feelings, wishes, regrets, gratitude and advice, as well as explain the elements in your legal will, give information about the money and possessions you’re passing on, and anything else you want to communicate. Usually no more than a few pages, the process of writing an ethical will can actually be quite satisfying. But be careful that you don’t contradict any aspects of your legal will or estate plan. If you’re having trouble with the writing, there are resources available to help you, or you can express yourself through an audio or video recording. Where to Start To craft an ethical will, start by jotting down some notes about what’s really important to you and what you want your loved ones to know. Take your time and remember that you’re not trying to write for the Pulitzer Prize. This letter is a gift of yourself written for those you love. After you’ve gathered your thoughts you can start drafting your letter. You can also revise or rewrite it anytime you want. And for safekeeping, keep your ethical will with your other legal documents in a secure location but be sure your executor has access to it. A safe-deposit box or fireproof filing cabinet or safe in your home is a good choice. Get Help If you need some help, there are numerous resources available like Celebrations of Life (CelebrationsofLife.net), which offers how-to information and examples of ethical wills, along with a “Ethical Wills: Putting Your Values on Paper” book, and the Ethical Wills/Legacy Letters workbook that you can purchase for $16 and $10 respectively. Another good resource is Personal Legacy Advisors (PersonalLegacyAdvisors.com), a company that offers ethical will writing classes and workshops, along with personalized services like coaching, editing, writing and/or audio or video recording your ethical will. Prices will vary depending on the services you choose. They also sell a do-it-yourself guidebook “The Wealth of Your Life: A Step-by-Step Guide for Creating Your Ethical Will,” by Susan Turnbull for $24. You also need to know that many people choose to share their ethical will with their family and friends while they’re still living so they can enjoy their reactions, while others think it should be read after their death. It’s up to you. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
