TOWN COUNCIL
HEARS CHARITY
FOOD PROGRAM
Jeff and Suzanne Carson
moved to Winthrop six years
ago and almost immediately
embraced the idea of food recycling to help local residents
struggling to get food - they
call it Mi Amor.
Monday night Carson and
his wife shared the concept
with the Town Council during
it regular meeting.
He explained how they
started the program in this
year after making connections
with The Arbors, Stop and
Shop and La Siesta restaurant.
So far, he has 12 recipients
receiving food from the program. The Carsons pick up the
unused food from their partners and deliver it right then
to recipients. So far they have
delivered 800 meals in five
months, 300 pieces of fruit, 70
cartons of milk and 200 sandwiches.
“We keep the food donations local and we need advocates,” Carson said.

Solar possibilities discussed for new school
By Kate Anslinger
A team from Blue Wave
Capital was at Monday night’s
School Committee meeting,
to share their insight on Winthrop’s solar potential.
The company is known for
developing environmentally
responsible energy projects
and has completed successful
projects on several properties
in Brookline and Melrose.
And if all goes well, their next
stop will be placing solar panels on the new high school.
Due to the high school’s
location, it has an ideal roof
for solar panels, which has the
potential of saving the town a
lot of money on utilities. So
far, the company has assessed
the location and ensured that
the site has appropriate solar
access and the availability of
sufficient ground for the panels. Incentives are available
for the Town, and according to
engineers and the team at Blue
Wave, the new high school is
the perfect spot for the Town
to work toward solar goals.
In addition to allowing for
energy use reduction, the panels have the potential to reduce the cost of electric bills.
The incentive is based on a
20-year agreement and the
savings will grow over time.
The first year of savings is es-
timated to be $7,000.
The School Committee
agreed that they are committed to moving forward with
the solar panel project, pending review of the contract. “I
think this is a great project,
but I feel strongly that we
need to review this contract
before we move further,” said
School Committee member
Brian Perrin.
One main concern voiced
by the committee was the warranty of the brand new roof on
the new high school.
“It’s very common to have
a solar system installed on a
brand new roof,” said Blue
Wave Director, Sandra Brown,
who also committed to making the call to ensure the roof
warranty, will remain in tact.
The team also spoke highly of
the particular panels that could
be used, stating that they have
the lowest failure rate and the
potential to be functional for
40 years. At the end of the 20year agreement, the town can
opt to purchase the system or
they can have it removed at no
cost and purchase a new system. If all goes well, the panel
project could start as early as
November and they ensured
the committee that the installation process will not disrupt
the school day.
A League of His Own
Cifuni honored by NEC for starting youth lacrosse program
By Cary Shuman
When Matt Serino was
tabbed by the Northeastern
Conference to nominate one
Winthrop resident for the
league’s prestigious Community Service Award, he knew
that one man stood at the top
of the list: Rich Cifuni.
Already dubbed the “Father
of Winthrop Lacrosse” for
founding the town’s increasingly popular youth program,
Cifuni became the proud recipient of the award at the
NEC Coaches Banquet held at
the end of the school year.
“Each school nominates a
person for community service
that’s done the most for the
high school athletic program,
so we nominated Rich for all
the outstanding work he does
with our youth lacrosse program,” said Serino.
The Winthrop High School
director of athletics said that
Cifuni’s launching of the
youth program has led directly to the rising stature and success of the boys lacrosse program at the high school. The
Vikings qualified for the state

High principal Matt Crombie.
tournament last spring and the
future looks bright with the
influx of players from Cifuni’s
well-organized program.
Cifuni, who is the public facilities manager for the Town
of Winthrop, started the Winthrop Youth Lacrosse program
six years ago.
“We were able to build up
our numbers and enter the
Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse
League (MBYLL), which is
actually the largest youth lacrosse program in the country,” said Cifuni. “We com-
pete in the Northeast region.”
Winthrop Youth Lacrosse
has approximately 70 boys,
first through eighth graders,
competing in a season from
March to June. The program
has added ‘select’ teams to ensure a higher level of competition for the elite players. The
13-under select team reached
the semifinal round of the
playoffs.
Cifuni said it’s been a challenge recruiting adult coaches,
even in a sports-minded town
like Winthrop.

“It’s a newer sport to Winthrop, so we don’t have a
plethora of people knocking
on the door to help, so that’s
probably been one of the
tougher challenges,” said Cifuni. “I certainly don’t want
to discount those who have
stepped up and helped the program grow.”
Bob DiMento, former Winthrop Super Bowl quarterback
John Hayes, Greg Peterson,
and former Winthrop director
of athletics Rob O’Leary are
on the coaching staff for the
league.
One of the most vital contributors to the program’s success has been Cifuni’s wife,
Tanji Cifuni. The Cifunis have
eight children, all of whom
compete in the Winthrop program.
“Tanji has done a great job
handling all the signups and
key administrative responsibilities such as coordinating
the scheduling of games,” said
the appreciative husband.
Cifuni graduated in 1993
from Weymouth High School

The Town Council voted
to petition the Legislature to
make the position of deputy police chief exempt from
civil service law. Police Chief
Terence Delehanty asked the
council for the creation of the
position in order to have a
stronger structure in the police
department. Under the plan
being formulated, the chief
will have someone working
closely with him who will be
able to take over in the event
he is not present.
The idea was accepted by
Town’s Rules and Ordinance
Committee and now will go
to the Legislature. There is no
word yet on when the position
will be created.

Cifuni //CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
where he was a lacrosse star
in a town where the sport was
widely popular. He went on to
play Division 1 lacrosse for
the University of New Hampshire, graduating in 1997. The
Wildcats played such national
power as Notre Dame, Michigan State, Towson State, and
UMass.
The 41-year-old WYL president said lacrosse is gaining
steam in the United States.
“It is without a doubt
the fastest growing sport in
the United States,” he said.
“You’re seeing colleges picking up the sport in double-dig-
it numbers every year. There
is a tremendous opportunity
for these players to play at the
next level if they put the time
in. Lacrosse was big in the
Northeast but now it’s starting
to spread across the country.”
Matt Crombie, principal
of Winthrop High School,
thanked Cifuni for his exceptional leadership of lacrosse
in the town and congratulated
him for receiving the NEC’s
Community Service Award.
“Anyone who lives in town
knows that Rich is a familiar face out there on the field
always working with our
youth,” said Crombie. “It’s a
really important stage of development because you don’t
just start playing lacrosse in
high school. You learn the
fundamentals that are so important to being prepared for
the varsity level. Rich has
been instrumental in getting
our athletes ready for high
school and it’s really helped
our program grow.”
From
Weymouth
to

property could be developed. Afterwards they sold
the property to Del Vecchio
and Catalano who have been
partners for several years and
have a history of transforming
unused properties and land
into alluring condos that are
appealing to buyers and current residents. The building is
about 20,000 square feet and
sits on a 31,000 square foot
lot. While they can’t confirm
how many condos the finished
project will have, they did
share that their target residents
will be young professionals
and retirees who are looking
to downsize.
Their goal is to get buyers
who have roots in Winthrop
but they aren’t opposed to
bringing in buyers from other
communities who will contribute to the growth of the
community.
Catalano and Del Vecchio
are all about being transparent
when it comes to keeping the
neighbors updated on plans,
which is why they were proactive in calling the neighborhood meeting held at the EB
Newton Building.
“I treat it like it’s my neighborhood,” said Catalano, regarding the future condos. “I
want the neighborhood and
community to embrace them.”
The majority of concerns
from neighbors revolved
around the parking situation
after the condos are developed.
“This is nothing to be nervous about,” said Del Vecchio, who confirmed that each
condo would have designated
parking spots in the attached
lot. “We really don’t think
parking will be an issue.”
The developers also shared
their determination to clean up
the property prior to the start
of the project.
“We want to clean up the
property even before we start
building, within a week or
two. We want to fence in the
whole property and take care
of the broken windows and
smashed liquor bottles,” said
Catalano.
All of the demolition will
take place inside the building
and extensive landscaping and
tree removal will be done on
the outside, in hopes of making the property aesthetically
pleasing.
As far as noise, the exterior
of the building will be kept intact, limiting the disturbances
to neighbors.

Weighing the College Decision
By J. Keith Motley, PhD, UMass Boston Chancellor
This is the season when many high school seniors, and
their parents, will make a most important decision—picking a college or university that is the right fit academically,
financially, and socially. As chancellor of the University of
Massachusetts Boston and a father of college students, I know
that finding academic excellence, an inviting community,
and an appropriate price point are critical elements in the
decision-making process.
I’m proud that UMass Boston has established itself as
a student-centered, urban public research university that
welcomes and supports students of all backgrounds by
providing them with an excellent education and modest
tuition and fees. We take pride in fostering a community of
diversity and inclusion, and continue to be the most diverse
university in New England, even as we have grown from 1,227
students at our founding to17,000 today.
As our student population has increased, so have the
opportunities we provide, with approximately 200 academic
programs to choose from in 11 schools and colleges. Our
students pursue degrees in biology, psychology, management, exercise and health sciences, nursing, engineering,
and many other fields. They keep our campus lively by
participating in the dozens of clubs, NCAA sports, and
intramural athletic teams available to UMass Boston
students. And they inspire us with their determination to
heighten their learning experience by studying abroad in
Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, and elsewhere.
In an effort to help make the college application process
less stressful, UMass Boston offers prospective students the
opportunity to apply now and get an early decision. Students
looking to complete the application process this fall can apply by November 1 for Early Action admission. Applicants who
take advantage of this option will receive a decision by the end
of the year, and have plenty of time to start planning for freshman year at UMass Boston. For those who need a little more
time, the regular admissions deadline is March 1.
I encourage students to take advantage of our Early Action
option, which also has among its benefits a first opportunity
at more than $150 million in financial aid that UMass Boston
awards each year.
We have also launched a pilot program in which high
school students who have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher
can be considered for admission without SAT scores.
To find out more about UMass Boston and the array of
benefits of attending Boston’s public research university, visit

OUR Opinions
PARKS AND REC. FALL FAIR
We wholeheartedly recommend attending Sean Driscoll's
Winthrop Parks and Recreation Fall Fair and Craft Show this
Saturday, Oct. 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Ingleside Park (Rain
date in Sunday, Oct. 9).
We have attended this fun-filled event in the past and Sean
Driscoll and his staff have prepared another stellar attraction
with pumpkin painting, train rides, inflatables, pony rides, food,
crafts, and music.
In a new touch this year, the Winthrop Fire Department, in
collaboration with the Winthrop Police Department, Action
Ambulance, Winthrop DPW, and Winthrop Veterans invite you
to join them to kick off Fire Prevention Week. The departments
will have their engines and vehicles for guests to enjoy in a
"Touch A Truck" showcase.
And speaking of Sean Driscoll, we congratulate his Winthrop
High Vikings football team on its first victory of the season.
The team, returning to full strength after some injuries, could
use your support Friday night at East Boston Stadium for a key
game against the Gloucester Fishermen.
MIKE DELIVERS
FOR RYDER CUP TEAM
We're not surprised at all that Olympic hockey captain Mike
Eruzione's inspirational talk to the U.S. Ryder Cup team is being credited with helping the team win the Ryder Cup this past
weekend at Hazeltine in Minnesota. Mike spoke to the captains
and players prior to the Deutsche Bank Championships in Boston in September and team captain Davis Love III invited Mike
to the team dinner Saturday night before the Ryder Cup singles
competition held the next day. Mike also spoke to the vice captains, including Tiger Woods, and the players, reminding them
of the great honor it is to represent your country in international
competition and instilling in them the team spirit that propelled
Mike and the 1980 team to the gold medal at Lake Placid.
Mike's words and presence in the galleries at the Ryder Cup
helped the team defeat Europe and bring the Ryder Cup trophy
to the our country. Of course, Mike was invited to the team dinner Sunday night at the team hotel where he joined the players
and their wives for a gala celebration.
Anyone who has heard Mike deliver a talk to business leaders,
company executives, trade conventions, colleges, high school
athletes -- and we remember his words at the 2012 Republican
National Convention -- knows that his story -- the story of a
hometown kid from Winthrop scoring the most important goal
in Olympic history and leading the team to a monumental upset
of the Soviet Union hockey team -- just a couple of weeks after
the Soviet Union had blitzed the Americans at Madison Square
Garden -- is one that inspired us in Lake Placid and continues to
give people across the country some of their best sports memories of all time.
Mike Eruzione is a celebrity and a hockey star and to have
him talk to the best golfers in the world -- and in the case of Phil
Mickelson, one of the best golfers of all time -- and give them
the added edge they needed to defeat the European team, we
say, thank you, Mike, for being instrumental in another superb
victory by a team wearing the Red, White, and Blue.
RICH CIFUNI, FATHER OF
LACROSSE
We appreciate the contributions of past and present youth
sports leaders in our town -- great men like Huck Larsen, Bill
Rutherford, and Steve Rogers of Winthrop Youth Hockey Fame,
Little League President Emeritus Peter Pellegriti and coaches
like David Tallent Sr. -- whose Dodgers team went undefeated
and had the best trio of players -- David Tallent Jr., Mike Mason, and Billy Morello -- ever, Perry Hampton, and even our
Speaker of the House Robert A. DeLeo, who used to coach a
Little League team, the late Peter Grimes, who loved to teach
the game of the basketball, and Butch Martucci, who has built
such a great girls hockey program at the high school.
We welcome the opportunity to commend Rich Cifuni on his
remarkable effort of launching a lacrosse program and building
it to the point where there are 70 players and the travel teams
are competing on the same level with some long-established lacrosse programs statewide.
Just think, because of Rich's vision, Winthrop now has one
of the best youth lacrosse programs in the region, bringing so
much enjoyment not only to the players, but their families who
come to the games and offer their support.
We are starting to see the outcome of Rich's work as our
WHS boys lacrosse team qualified for the State Tournament and
the players entering the program have the experience of learning the game from Rich and advancing to high school varsity
competition.
Rich was a lacrosse star in high school and competed in the
Division 1 UNH program. The sport of lacrosse has exploded
nationally and more and more colleges are launching programs.
Rich has brought lacrosse to our town in a big way -- assisted
by his wife, Tanji -- and we're grateful to the Cifunis for all
they've done to give the youth of our town another fun and exciting alternative to be physically fit and learn about winning
and sportsmanship.
Thank you, Rich, and congratulations on your selection for
the Northeastern Conference Community Service Award for the
town of Winthrop.
Letter to the Editor
QUESTION 2
Dear Editor:
The Retired Educators Association of Massachusetts,
the oldest organization in the
state for retired educators,
today announced its opposition to Question 2, the ballot
question that would allow
unlimited charter school expansion anywhere in the state,
take millions of dollars away
from successful local district
public schools, and cause the
elimination of music and art
programs, increased class sizes, and other damaging cuts in
the schools that most families
choose.
“As retired teachers, classroom aides, and other educators, many of us have seen
firsthand the direct impact
of charter school expansion
on our public school classrooms,” said Marilyn Frank,
President of the Retired Educators Association of Massachusetts. “Every dollar lost
to charter schools is a dollar
cut from our school budgets,
and that means larger class
sizes, the elimination of arts,
music, foreign language, and
other enrichment programs,
and other cuts that hurt our
students. Our students can’t
afford to lose any more to
charter schools.”
The Retired Educators Association of Massachusetts
joins a growing list of organizations who oppose Question
2, including the Massachusetts PTA, the Massachusetts
Elementary School Principals'
Association, the Massachusetts Municipal Association,
the NAACP New England
Area Conference, Progressive
Massachusetts, Progressive
Democrats of Massachusetts,
and city councils, school
committees, and boards of selectmen representing close to
200 communities across the
state.
“Dark money groups are
attempting to mislead Massachusetts voters about the
effect of charter schools, but
Massachusetts voters trust local educators, not out-of-state
billionaires, to know what’s
best for our students,” said
Juan Cofield, president of the
New England Area Conference of the NAACP and chair
of the Campaign to Save Our
Public Schools. “We’re honored to have the support of
the Retired Educators Association of Massachusetts in
our campaign to defeat Question 2 and protect our public
Black
schools.”
Charter schools are privately run schools that operate
with public taxpayer funding. Every time a new charter
school opens, it takes funding
away from the public schools
in that school district. This
year, according to state data,
231 local school districts will
lose a projected $451,338,729
to charter schools, even after
state reimbursements.1 That’s
why more than 130 school
committees across the state
have voted to oppose Question 2.2
A statewide commission
recently reported that public
schools in Massachusetts are
already underfunded by more
than $1 billion, even before
Question 2.3 If passed, Question 2 would allow the state
to approve 12 new charters
schools a year, every year,
forever, with no limit on how
much money a single school
district could lose. This would
nearly triple the number of
charter schools in just 10 years
and take away an additional
$1 billion each year from our
local public schools. After 20
years, local public school districts would be losing nearly
$4 billion a year to charter
schools.4
Local communities and
their school committees have
no say in the approval or operation of charter schools. The
state approves charter schools
even when the communities
where they will be located are
opposed to them. This has happened in Brockton, Gloucester
and many other communities.
Save Our Public Schools is
a grassroots organization of
Massachusetts families, parents, educators and students.
We are committed to ensuring
equal educational opportunity
for every child; less testing
and more learning; stopping
the state from opening additional charter schools that
will drain millions more from
public education; increasing
funding to provide high-quality public schools for all
children; and protecting lo-
cal control over schools. Our
public schools cannot afford
to lose vital funding while
we are seeing programs cut
and activities reduced. Learn

popular and well publicized
Taft Inn built about 1840. With
42 dining rooms that could
seat 1000 people it was operated by Orray Taft until about
1883 before becoming the
Point Shirley Club. In about
1933 Ted Spanos opened a
Greek restaurant in the building and later used the facility
as a summer home. The complex was razed in 1952. Previous Then & Now articles have
discussed the history of this
restaurant facility in depth. In
the far left of this picture one
can see the early buildings of
the House of Correction on
Deer Island and between the
two clusters of buildings the
water opening from the harbor to the ocean, known as
Shirley Gut, is visible. It was
then still about 280 feet wide
and the more adventurous
vessels could enter and leave
the Boston Harbor through it
at high tide. Picture two depicts how this area appeared
when one looked back toward
Cottage Hill from the other
end of Yirrell Beach during a
storm. Features to note are the
absence of the Water Tower,
which would be constructed in
1910, and the Ridgeway home
in the center of the picture
on the beach. Mr. Ridgeway
built and operated the electric railway car that ran from
Delby’s Corner to the Taft Inn
from 1912 to 1928. Just over
100 years ago, work began on
building the new seawall of
Portland cement with some
reinforcing steel which was
1000 feet in length extending along the beach southerly from “Great Head” and a
return bulkhead of timber 37
feet in length at the southerly
end of the seawall along with
five jetties of timber and concrete having a total length of
370 feet. The plans for this
project were drawn up by the
engineering firm of Whitman
and Howard of local fame.
Picture three shows the construction in progress and the
forms used to provide the seaside curvature to roll back the
incoming waves. Picture four
depicts the completed project and the five wood jetties
previously mentioned. This
beach was later named after
Frederick W. Yirrell Jr. Lt/Jg,
a WWII Navy Pilot that was
lost at sea. He was the brother of our previous Town Clerk
Claire Sheltry.

THE MORE
Things Change ...
Winthrop Improvement and Historical Association
From 1640 to 1830, the
area of our peninsula north
of Cottage (Water Tower)
Hill on up to East Boston and
Beachmont consisted of just
four or five farms. In 1875,
the development of vacation
and resort facilities began
with the establishment of the
Ocean Spray Seaside complex along the Northern end
of Winthrop Shore Drive. In
1883, the Cottage Hill, Highlands and Cottage Park areas
of town began to develop similar summer facilities. Point
Shirley, which had already
experienced several business
ventures such as the 1753
– 1763 Fisheries, the 1812 –
1840 Salt Works and the 1844
– 1869 Revere Copper Works,
functioned independently as
a somewhat separate section
of town. The corridor of sand
covered land between Cottage
Hill and the point served only
as a dirt road providing access
to Point Shirley and appeared
as shown in picture one, taken
about 1888, just after electricity was brought into town as
evidenced by the power poles
along the roadway. The cluster of buildings in the center

evening at which State Representative candidates Fred
Baumeister, the Republican

For the second time in four

rowed out to make a rescue.
This time, the duo pulled out

short of the runway amidst

Winthrop women are becoming politically active and
are studying the causes and effects of the gradually-increasing costs of everyday necessities for the home, as well as
the ramifications of the local,
state, and federal tax burdens.
Local Republican women,
seeing what they feel is this
nightmare being brought
about by the policies of Pres.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, are
sponsoring a rally for women
in the Odd Fellows Hall next
week in support of those candidates who will address these
concerns.
The Republican rally held
last week under the auspices
of the Republican Town Committee and the local Republican League was well-attended. U.S. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge in particular, was a
“big hit” with the crowd.

The Winthrop Improvement Assoc. reports that a

continue through October.
Fishermen are opposed to
a change in the measurement
for determining the minimum
allowable length of a lobster.
Lobsters presently are measured from nose to tail and
must be at least 10.5 inches
long. However, this allows a
lobsterman to stretch the tail
if the lobster is too short. The
new regulation would measure the lobster from the tip of
the nose to the base of the tail.
Heavy seas have pounded
our coastline in recent days.
The regular packets from

11TH ANNUAL TASTE OF WINTHROP
Photos and story by Marianne Salza
The Winthrop Chamber of
Commerce (WCOC) hosted its 11th Annual A Taste of
Winthrop for a night of dining
and raffles on Sept. 28 at the
Winthrop Yacht Club. Twenty restaurants, cafes, caterers,
and bakeries donated and
delivered their most popular
dishes, featuring their most
requested entrees, signature
appetizers, and chef specialties for hundreds of guests to
sample.
“It’s one of the most an-
ticipated events that are held
in Winthrop. Everyone loves
food,” said Wendy Millar-Page, WCOC Membership
& Outreach Coordinator. “It
helps generate a lot of buzz
for the restaurants and other
businesses that may not be in
the food industry, but sponsor
the event. It’s one of the better
ways to have marketing opportunities.”
Proceeds from A Taste of
Winthrop benefit the Chamber
Business Education Program,
which provides workshops
and presentations on economic vitality for small business.

communities,
WINARC’s community partnerships with businesses and
families have ensured the
successful operation of its
current programs, as well as
the development of new programming to fulfill the ever
growing needs of children and
adults with disabilities.

our programs. Our volunteers
are the backbone of our organization, and can be credited

Early Voting Winthrop
Town Hall Oct. 24-Nov. 3
All registered voters will
be able to vote before Election Day for the first time
ever in Massachusetts. Early
voting will begin on October 24 and continue through
November 3. Prior to the enactment of this new law, the
only way a registered voter
was allowed to vote prior to
Election Day was through
absentee voting. Although
absentee voting will still be
available for registered voters
who qualify, only those who
will be absent from their city
or town on Election Day, or
have a disability that prevents
them from going to the polls,
or have a religious belief preventing the same, are legally
allowed to vote by absentee
ballot.
Unlike absentee voting,
early voting is for every registered voter. Registered voters do not need an excuse or
reason to vote early.
Early voting can be done
in person or by mail. In Winthrop, early voting can be
done in person at Winthrop
Town Hall, voting will take
place in front hall of building
the following dates and times
Oct. 24 through Nov. 3 from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. there will be
a volunteer available to assist
with Early Voting. Otherwise
during normal business hours
the staff in the Town Clerk’s
Office will be managing early voting during our regular
business at the counter. COLUMBUS DAY
PARADE IN EAST
BOSTON
It’s East Boston’s turn to
host the annual Columbus
Day Parade, a yearly tradition
of Italian American Pride that
returns to the neighboring
community every two years.
This year’s parade will
kick off from Suffolk Downs
and wind its way down Bennington Street to Chelsea
Street then onto Meridian
Street--ending in near Central Square. As in year’s past
there will be great marching
bands, dance numbers and a
wave of celebratory floats.
The parade honoring
Christopher Columbus on the
anniversary of his arrival in
the Americas is always a festive occasion with the bands,
floats, and local dignitaries
making it a “must-see” attraction for people of all ages.
This year’s Chief Marshall

MAKING STRIDES WALK HAS LOTS OF LOCAL TIES By Kate Anslinger This year marked the 23rd
anniversary of the Making
Strides Breast Cancer Walk
and it marks the fifth year
that local team, “Yabba Debba Doo,” has joined together in the fight against breast
cancer. On Sunday morning,
Oct. 2, Center Cafe was filled
with residents donning yellow shirts, in honor of Debbie
Abbott, who lost her battle
with breast cancer in February 2012. At just 41 years old,
Debbie left behind a community filled with friends and
family who keep her memory
alive. Back in 2012, her family decided to start a walk that
would help raise funds for
breast cancer research. “Everybody wanted to help,
but no one knew what to do,”
said Debbie’s sister-in-law
and team captain Amy Baird.
“We raise money so that no
one has to hear that again, that
there is nothing they can do
about their diagnosis.” In only five years, the team
has raised $50,000 for the
American Cancer Society.
Center Cafe owner, Roger
Oliveira started “Coffee for
a Cure,” where all of coffee
sales on the walk day go toward the American Cancer
Society. Following that, the team
took advantage of House
Speaker Bob DeLeo’s annual
bus trip into Boston for the
Breast Cancer walk.
There was an uplifting energy in the air, as Winthrop
residents boarded buses and
headed into Boston for the annual walk. The transportation
was provided by Speaker DeLeo, who was mingling with
Winthrop walkers bright and
early on Sunday morning.

WHS SPORTS ROUNDUP
Golfers defeat
Revere, 43.5-28.5
The Winthrop High golf
team earned a 43.5-28.5 victory over Revere last Wednesday on the Vikings' home
course at the Winthrop Golf
Club.
Winthrop's top player, senior captain Jack Wallace,
was the big winner of the day
for Winthrop, defeating his
Revere rival at the No. 1 spot,
7.5-1.5. Jack also shot the best
round of the day, a one over
par 36.
Patrick Stafford at No. 2
and Drew DiMento at No. 6
also were big winners for the
Vikings, earning 6.5 points
(of nine) against their Patriot
counterparts.
Sean Alioto was a victor at
the No 8 slot with six points;
Colby Dassau won 5-4 at No.
3; and Alex Pesiri halved his
match at No. 5.
Richard Fucillo (four
points at No. 7) and Nathan
Rich (3.5 points at No. 6) also
made key contributions to the
Viking victory.
Winthrop traveled the
next day to Salem Green and
dropped a 40-32 decision to
Salem. Alioto was a highlight
for the Winthrop squad with a
win at No. 8, 5-4, and Fucillo
halved his match with his Salem counterpart, 4.5-4.5.
"Richard really has come
a long way this season," said
WHS head coach Peter Lyons. "He's our most improved
player. Jim Bruce, the pro
at the Winthrop Golf Club,
worked with Richard a bit and
the results have been dramatic."
Lyons and his crew were
set to host Gloucester today
(Thursday) and will play at
Swampscott Tuesday. They
face Malden Catholic next
Thursday.
Boys soccer team
falls to Classical
The Winthrop High boys
soccer team dropped a 4-2 decision to Lynn Classical last
Wednesday.
The Vikings had grabbed
a 1-0 lead after the first 40
minutes of play thanks to a
goal by senior Dave Barry,
who hustled to beat the Ram
defenders to the rebound after
a save by the Classical keeper and then delivered the ball
into the back of the net .
Winthrop added to its advantage with another goal
less than a minute after the
intermission. The Vikings
had built their offense nicely,
culminating when Barry gave
sophomore Renols Cahani a
nice ball, which Cahani finished beautifully to reach the
back of the Classical net.
However, that would prove
to be the apogee of the Vikings' effort, as Classical
scored four unanswered goals
to come away with the win.
Winthrop hosted Danvers,
one of the top teams in the
Northeastern Conference, two
days later and came out on the
short end of a 6-0 decision.
The Vikings trek to Peabody today (Thursday) and
then will play at Mystic Valley on the holiday Monday.
"We need to win or tie the
Mystic Valley game in order
to qualify for the state tournament," said WHS head coach
Kyle Gagin. "We'll obviously
be going for the win, but that
game is do or die. I'm confident the guys can get it done
despite the results of this past
week."
The Vikings will host archival Revere this coming
Wednesday.
Volleyball team
drops two contests
The Winthrop High volleyball team dropped both of
its contests this past week to
Danvers and Peabody.
In the match with Danvers,
in which the Lady Vikings
fell in three sets (25-14, 2523, 25-17), Haley Holden led
the Winthrop offensive attack
with 10 kills. Maddie Fainga'a
was the top defender with 18
digs, while Lacey Scott contributed 14 assists, 14 digs,
and four service aces.
In the Peabody match,
which the Lady Vikings also
lost in three sets (25-15, 1519, 27-25), Holden once
again was the top killer with
10. Teammate Gina Chalmers struck for seven kills and
Scott set 20 assists for her
teammates.
The Lady Vikings were set
to play at Revere yesterday
(Wednesday) and will host
Beverly tomorrow (Friday).
They will trek to Mt. Alvernia
Tuesday and to Lynn English
Thursday.

Tailback Jon Gonzalez ran
for 126 yards and a touchdown, and the Winthrop defense rejected several Salem
scoring bids - including a formidable goal line stand in the
third quarter - as the Vikings
notched their first win of the
season with a 14-0 shutout
of the Salem Witches at rainsoaked Bertram Field in Salem Friday night, Sept. 30.
The Vikings hope to make it
two in a row when they host

Bertram Field.
FACIAL EXCHANGE: Viking Jonathan VanDalinda takes a

Vikings Shutout Salem
14-0
The Winthrop Vikings won
their first game of the 2016
campaign behind a solid defense (14-0) over the Salem
Witches.
The game was played for
the second year in a row in a
downpour. The shut out was
the first for Salem since October 2013, by the Vikings.
The Vikings won the coin
toss but deferred until the second half. The Witches opened
the game driving to the 24yard line of Winthrop on just
five plays. Quarterback Jared
Lubas threw a pair of incomplete passes and the drive
stalled.
The Vikings responded by
driving 71-yards on 13 plays
while eating up 7:38 of clock
time. The drive was capped
off with a seven-yard run by
co-captain Jon Gonzalez (19
carries- 138 yards). The extra
point kick failed.
Quarterback Chris Zuffante had a 19-yard keeper that
placed the ball at the 9-yard
line. Zuffante (10 carries – 52
yards) was a standout on both
sides of the ball. The teams
were scoreless until the third
quarter. Salem drove to the
Vikings 40-yard line when
their standout back Vinnie
Gaskins (105 yards) fumbled.
Junior Jake Adamson (his
best game of the season) recovered the fumble. The Vikings drove 65-yards in a
span of 3:28, with quarterback
Zuffante making a two-score
game with a keeper from four
yards out.
A key two-point conversion pass from Zuffante to junior Jaidon Brown was a 25yard completion on a picture
perfect route by Jaidon. The
score Vikings 14 - Salem 0.
On the ensuing drive the
Witches had a first and goal
at the Winthrop one-yard line.
Linebacker co-captain Matt
Tarantino stuffed Xavier Cole
and on fourth and one Gaskins
was driven back by ‘number
33’ – Winthrop’s outstanding
middle linebacker.
Skimming the Sidelines
Salem defeated Saugus 3920 the previous Friday night
at Saugus.
The Vikings need another
strong defensive effort when
they play host to the defending NEC South champions,
the Gloucester Fishermen (31-2-0)
Gloucester opened NEC
South league play with a convincing (34-14) victory over
Black
in Marblehead.
Extra Points
Zuffante had 14 carries for
54 yards. Chris passed for 36
Coach Driscoll is optimistic that he will have his entire
starting team on offense and
defense for Friday nights big
game with Gloucester.

WHS SPORTS YEARS
10 years ago
October 5, 2006

City Paws
Update Emergency Plans for Companion Animals
By Penny Cherubino
Red Cross Shelters
The news is not as good
when it comes to assistance
from the Red Cross. Their
website still says, “Most
American Red Cross shelters
cannot accept pets because
of health and safety concerns
and other considerations. Service animals that assist people
with disabilities are allowed
in Red Cross shelters.”
I attempted to reach the
Massachusetts Chapter of the
organization for an update but
their media inquiry line has a
message saying the contact,
“Is no longer available at this
number,” and directed calls
back to an automated attendant with no other appropriate
options. The operator option
reaches an answering service
that is just for reporting an
emergency.
Make Your Own Plan &
Emergency Kit
This hanging, organizing bag is part of our emergency kit for Poppy. Keeping supplies of critical
medication plus heartworm and flea treatments here, means you’ll never leave home without
them.
You may want to make
your own alternate plans for a
safe place to go with your animals in case of an emergency. While large-scale disasters
come to mind and the city has
a system for that, the crisis
could also be a water leak or
fire in your building.
If you have a friend or relative who will shelter you for
a few days, that is ideal. You
should also have the phone
numbers of a few pet-friendly
hotels, both near your home
and in the surrounding area,
HAVE YOU SEEN
THIS LIGHTHOUSE?
This Lighthouse was
stolen from my front
yard on Edgehill Road
last week.
This was a handmade
wooden lighthouse
given to me by my
brother who passed
away suddenly in
March. I had spent
countless hours painting and decorating this
5ft tall lighthouse and
named it “ROBERT’S
LIGHT” in memory of
my brother.
I am devastated by
this loss and ask if
anyone has seen this
to please call the
Winthrop Police or
return It. no questions asked.
where you might reserve a
room until the immediate danger has passed.
State Law Requires that
People with Pets are Included in Emergency Planning.
On March 24, 2014, Chapter 54, “AN ACT ENSURING
THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE
WITH PETS IN DISASTERS,” became law and the
planning was to be completed
in one year.
The key information you
should know is: “Any emergency plan of operations shall
include strategies to support
the needs of people with
household pets and the needs
of household pets under their
care, including service animals. The local organization
for civil defense shall take appropriate steps to educate the
public regarding the resources
available in the event of an
emergency and the importance of emergency preparedness planning.”
We recommend that you
have a copy of both the law
and the city of Boston page
with your pet emergency kit.
That way, if you should be
confronted with someone
not familiar with this major
change in shelter services,
you can show them what the
city and state have promised.
Make pdf copies of each page
that you can download and
print or save to a cloud service, like Dropbox, so that
you can retrieve them from
your smartphone.
Do you have a question or
topic for City Paws. Send an
email to Penny@BostonZest.

All types of services
for all types of people.
Some people prefer traditional funeral
services. Others prefer cremation.
Some want an elaborate ceremony.
Then there are others who don’t
want any ceremony at all. When
it comes to funerals, there are
as many options as there are
people. And we take pride in
being able to say we offer them all.

Group ramps up efforts to defeat Question 1
By John Lynds
She was front in center
during No Eastie Casino's
fight against placing a resort-style casino at Suffolk
Downs in Eastie and now
Celeste Myers is digging her
heels in for another fight to
defeat Question 1.
At a recent community
meeting Myers and her group,
the Committee for Sustainable
and Responsible Economic
Development, urged residents
to vote against the state-wide
ballot question in November.
This proposed law would
"allow the state Gaming Commission to issue one additional Category 2 License, which
would permit operation of a
gaming establishment with no
table games and not more than
1,250 slot machines."
BUYER 1
The problem with the
question, said Myers, is the
language is too specific and
could only mean a slot parlor
for the Eastie/Revere border
near Suffolk Downs, the site
of the losing casino bid three
years ago. Suffolk Downs has
nothing to do with the ballot
question and it has received
widespread
condemnation
from elected officials like
Speaker Robert DeLeo, Sen.
Joseph Boncore, Rep. Adrian Madaro and Gov. Charlie
Baker.
The proposed law would
authorize "the (state's Gaming) Commission to request
applications for the additional license to be granted to a
gaming establishment located on property that is at least
four acres in size; adjacent to
and within 1,500 feet of a race
track, including the track’s
additional facilities, such as
the track, grounds, paddocks,
barns, auditorium, amphitheater, and bleachers; where a
horse racing meeting may
physically be held; where a
horse racing meeting shall
have been hosted; and not
separated from the race track
by a highway or railway."
"This can only mean one
place so we should all be concerned. This language is too
specific to our area and we are
urging people to talk to everyone they know and encourage
them to vote against this measure," said Myers. "Already
elected officials, Suffolk
Downs, horsemen associations and others have opposed
the ballot question because
expanded gaming in the state
is far too new to begin over
saturating the market."
Myers and her group were

CITY
able to quickly form the Committee for Sustainable and Responsible Economic Development in response to Question
1 and will also be on the ballot
as 'arguments against' the ballot question.
According to Myers the
group argues only one casino
will have opened in the Commonwealth as of Election
Day, and up to three massive
resort casinos and at least one
tribal casino could be operating within the next few years.
"Even at this early stage,
casino lobbyists already wield
disproportionate power in the
Massachusetts legislature,"
the groups argument against
reads. "If Question 1 were to
pass, we should expect that
this result will immediately be
used in support of more campaigns for new casino licenses,
with even more illusory prom-
ises of jobs and revenues. This
early push for expansion is especially concerning given the
Wall Street Journal‘s warning
that the Northeastern U.S. casino market was approaching
a “saturation point” even before the first Massachusetts
casino opened in June 2015."
They also argue that Question 1 in no way benefits Suffolk Downs or any other race
track.
"Suffolk Downs itself
would have no ownership interest in the proposed casino,
and would receive no direct
benefit from it," said Myers
last week. "While a percentage of any Massachusetts
casino’s profits are legally required to go toward the statewide Horse Racing Fund, this
fund alone may not be enough
to save New England horse
racing."
Celeste Myers of the Committee for Sustainable & Responsible Economic Development
urges Eastie votes to vote
against Question 1 in November at a community meeting
last week.
