Boston Celtics honor Gloucester teens Haley Blanchette and Billy Cincotta as ‘Heroes Among Us’

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Boston Celtics recently honored Billy Cincotta, 18, and Haley Blanchette, 20, of Gloucester, MA as ‘Heroes Among Us’ for saving five children from a rip current off the Gloucester end of Long Beach.

Billy, who was working at Cape Ann Motor Inn on Rockport Road heard the cries for help and immediately enlisted the help of Haley. The two of them use a surfboard to retrieve the five children from the water without the help of any lifeguards, who didn’t arrive until after the children were brought to safety.

For their courageous, life-saving actions, the Boston Celtics chose to honor Billy Cincotta and Haley Blanchette as ‘Heroes Among Us.’

The New Polar Park, WooSox Stadium

Posted on by Nichole S.

Finn had a doubleheader out on the Boylston/Worcester line on Sunday so after his games we took a little trip to do a drive by of the soon-to-be-moved Pawtucket Red Sox’s new home…Polar Park.   This soon-to-be home of the now WooSox is still well underway and has been delayed like everything else due to COVID-19, but…from what I’ve read…it should be a pretty impressive stadium.  Larry Lucchino knows a thing or two about building…and in Fenway’s case…renovating ballparks.  We can’t wait to take in a game out there and to add it to the list of other Red Sox franchise parks that we’ve enjoyed!

Gloucester’s connection with Thailand

Posted on by GMG Chris Mc.

Did you know Gloucester had a connection with Thailand. I found this plaque on my walk today.

 

 
 
This gold-framed gift from the King of Thailand Birthplace Foundation to Gloucester on Aug. 30, 2009 at a city hall celebration of Gloucester’s designation on the “Trail of Thai Royalty in Massachusetts” shows Prince Mahidol coming to Gloucester in 1916 on his way to studying public health at Harvard.  He spent a lot of time at 3 Page St, which now has a commemorative historic bronze plaque. The Prince was father of the current King of Thailand — the longest reigning and most beloved monarch in the world, and who was born in Cambridge, MA in 1927 — the first monarch ever born in the USA

Thanks to Amy Shapiro for the photos
