CONNECT hospitality graduates 14 see page 11 ONNECT hospitality gradu Vol. 29, No. 25 -FREE- www.advocatenews.net City Council passes 2020 fi scal year budget By Alexis Mikulski T he Revere City Council offi cially passed the City of Revere’s operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year on Monday. The budget will total $203.4 million and consist of important investments for Revere, including the improvement of facilities, additional law enforcement and an enhanced recreation department. The total expenditures for the year are $217,053, 143 – a 5.6 percent increase from the FY19 budget. At a City Council meeting last week, Mayor Brian Arrigo took time to thank everyone who made the budget possible. “I want to thank all of my department heads first, and for everyone who put their time and energy into making this great document. I also want to especially thank our City Budget Director and his team, Director of Finance George Anzuoni and Human Resources Director John Viarella,” he said. “They were instrumental in making sure this budget was ready and on time.” After the initial submission of the budget by Mayor Arrigo, it was reviewed by the City Council’s Ways and Means Subcommittee and sent to the City Council for final approval. The operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year is a balanced budget, which means it does not require any additional money coming from free cash or other city resources. The budget has a capital improvement plan and other financial policies, which have allowed the city to get the highest bond rating it has ever received. In addition to the new investments for the city, this budget will allow a community recreation center to open at Garfield Middle School. “We talked about using that space as a true community center space as it was intended for, and this budget includes the necessary resources to make sure that happens,” said Mayor COUNCIL | SEE PAGE 4 Free Every Friday 781-286-8500 Friday, June 21, 2019 Annual Summer Nights Festival kicks off in Beachmont es 14 see page 11 LET THE SUMMER BEGIN: Pictured from left to right: Revere on the Move Neighborhood Organizer Vanny Huot, Mayor Brian Arrigo, Director of Healthy Community Initiatives Dimple Rana, Beachmont Improvement Committee Members Corrine Deveau, Treasurer Ed Deveau and President Kathleen Heiser and Jessica Mortell from Neighborways.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, June 21, 2019 ~ Op-Ed ~ Just the facts: FY20 Budget passes with Council support By Mayor Brian Arrigo t ’s time for some good news ... and a fact check. I am proud to share that the 2020 Budget passed with overwhelming support from the voting Revere City Councillors, who universally lauded the Department Heads for their presentations to the Ways & Means Committee. The majority of our Councillors were incredibly supportive of the smart financial decisions that have defined my time as Mayor, commending the necessary I upgrades, Revere’s good financial standing, and the significant improvements in the delivery of city services. There was one exception that must be addressed. While offering no ideas and a meager proposed cut of only .003% of the overall budget, Councilor Dan Rizzo, as usual, chose to grandstand with false and misleading information and refused to vote in favor of the budget. Dan, once again, failed to do his homework and his poorly contrived political stunt falls short. In reality, the City is in the best financial shape of its history. Here are the facts. 1) While making claims of a bloated City workforce, Dan failed to note that of the approximately 80 new hires over the past two years, 23 were new public safety officials hired to protect our residents and 49 were additional staff hired by the School Department to help educate our children. As Mayor, I believe these are worthy investments in Revere’s future. 2) Dan tried to make a striking comparison between Revere’s budget to that of Malden, but he got A.B.C.

First, I would hope that he recognizes that Revere is its own city. But second, he quoted a supposed $40 million differential, failing to include Malden’s $30 million in water and sewer enterprise fund. The remaining differential can be seen in our school department, which we fund by approximately $10 million more than Malden. I stand behind investments in improving the delivery of city services to our residents and to the money dedicated to our children’s education. It’s disappointing to see a sitting elected official mislead the people and his belated critique, after chairing hours of meetings, only highlights his lack of vision for Revere’s future. This is politics at its worst and Dan refuses to acknowledge all the good work that the 2020 Budget reflects. You deserve better from the people you elect. This year’s budget increase is substantially attributable to fixed costs, including health insurance, pension obligations and the settlement of nearly all collective bargaining agreements for municipal employees accounting for two years of raises. The budget also reflects a continued commitment to public safety and public works – staffing increases will put more firefighters, uniformed police officers, and code enforcement personnel on the streets of our community and equip DPW with the necessary equipment to keep those streets clean and safe. This budget also represents some exciting news: the opening of a Community Center in the Garfield School, which will be a multigenerational, multicultural, and inclusive space open to all residents and will include access to the gymnasium, auditorium and swimming pool. Also, the Parking Department has received long-overdue major upgrades in meter equipment which will make collecting and tracking more transparent and efficient, with record high projected revenues. I remain committed, as I did on my first day as Mayor as well as my time on the City Council, to making sure that your tax dollars are being spent to deliver the city services that you expect and deserve, in the most efficient and effective manner. My administration has achieved and maintained a bond rating of AA, the highest rating in Revere’s history. The passing of this budget assures Revere’s continued progress and further solidifies the City’s financial status. I intend to build upon this success and continue to build strong reserves, adopt financial policies and procedures informed by best practices, and pursue smart and responsible economic development.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, June 21, 2019 Page 3 Everett, Encore pushes public transportation option for casino patrons By Christopher Roberson W ith the opening of Encore Boston Harbor just a few days away, the message from Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria was clear: Avoid Lower Broadway. “Please leave your cars at home,” he said during a June 19 press conference with state and local law enforcement. “We want you to enjoy your experience without having to worry about the roadways.” DeMaria said that in addition to the MBTA, other modes of transportation include water taxis, motor coaches and Encore’s fl eet of shuttle buses. Robert DeSalvio, president of Encore Boston Harbor, said two-hour transportation meetings have been held biweekly since February. “We agonized over this plan,” he said. “We took this very seriously; we have literally thrown everything we could at this.” DeSalvio also called attention to the 750,000 residents who live within walking distance of the Orange Line. “The Orange Line is a key link for us,” he said, adding that shutEncore Boston Harbor President Robert DeSalvio recently spoke to the media about the various modes of transportation to and from the casino.

In addition, DeSalvio and his colleagues are anticipating “quite a bit of business” from northern New England. Therefore, a motor coach will be running every 90 minutes from Londonderry, N.H. Motor coaches will also be available to pick up patrons in Rockland and Millbury, Mass. DeSalvio said shuttles will also be running from WonThe Encore Boston Harbor water shuttle is just one of several ways patrons can visit the casino without having to drive.

DeSalvio said the water taxis have been tested and are able to cross under the Alford Street Bridge without having to raise it. “The vessel got underneath with about a foot to spare,” he said. In terms of crowd control, more than 100 police details will be on hand during the opening with officers from Everett, Chelsea, Boston and Medford. Everett Police Chief Steven Mazzie said the anticipation of the casino opening reminded him of the hype surrounding the Y2K computer virus. “Everything is going to be just fi ne,” he said. “We want you to come here to have a great time, but please be patient.” Mazzie also said that going forward patrons will not be permitted to park on the adjacent side streets. He said doing so will result in a $50 fi ne and the vehicle being towed. “Don’t just dump your car here,” he said. Lt. Col. Robert Favuzza of the Massachusetts State Police issued a stern warning of his own. He said his troopers will constantly be monitoring the scores of security cameras meticulously scanning the casino fl oor. “Our goal is simple – we will have no tolerance for any criminal activity,” said Favuzza.

The Point of Pines Fire Station is on that plan and is a project that the Fire Station and residents of Revere have been very passionate about. The only dissenting vote for the final budget approval came from Councillorat-Large Daniel Rizzo, who is running for mayor. Rizzo cited a $10 million increase over last year’s budget. At the City Council meetcessibility • Increases in activity at local pawn shops and other secondhand dealers • Changes to short-term rental activity • Mutual emergency response aid provided to the City of Everett Mayor Arrigo also called on Revere residents and business owners to report their own observations to Revere 311, where all calls related to casino feedback will be categorized and tracked. ing on Monday, City Treasurer George Anzuoni proposed a loan order of $9,200,000 for the demolition and reconstruction of the fire station to help expedite the process. The Fire Chief and fire personnel showed up in full support, and residents of the community will have a chance to speak out on July 29. The operating budget for the 2020 Fiscal Year allocates money to each department within the City of Revere. Each of these departments will be able to use the money for projects around the city and further develop and strengthen their own section. The exact amount that departments receive will be announced in a later article.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, June 21, 2019 Page 5 Riding toward perfect attendance at Garfield O By Tara Vocino ne Garfi eld Elementary School student was so surprised that she won a bicycle as part of a perfect attendance raffl e last Thursday afternoon that something on her body fell off. Second-grader Eman Raoui, 8, was jumping up and down so much that her temporary arm tattoo came off when she found out that she was the winner. She and third-grader Princy Patel, 8, each won a Schwinn mountain bicycle, complete with a helmet and lock. “I’m so happy that Jayne D’Angelo, PERFECT RIDES -- The Garfi eld School awarded two students – Princy Patel and Eman Raoui – with bicycles for achieving perfect attendance throughout the school year. Pictured from left to right are event organizer Priscilla Nickerson, Lynne Powers, Princy Patel, Garfi eld School Principal William Coutts, Eman Raoui and Jayne D’Angelo. (Advocate Photo by Ross Scabin) when I was jumping up and down my tattoo fell off ,” Eman said. “I’m going to polish my new bike every night.” She went on to say that she loves the bike’s pastel colors and the fl ower on the handle. While Princy wasn’t as visibly excited as Eman, she later said she was so happy and excited to win the raffle. “I was scared that it’d be too small for me,” Princy said. “But it even has a pouch that says ‘Dream Big’ that I’ll bring to nana’s house.” She added that she’s going to read the manual and that she likes the seat and helmet. According to Garfield Principal William Coutts, the purpose of the raffl e is to promote health and wellness. “We were looking for an idea to promote good attendance,” Coutts said. “Giving out bicycles is a great incentive to come to school daily and to promote an active lifestyle.” Approximately 120 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade had perfect attendance between April and June 13. president of the McCarthy Trifone Recreation Committee, who donated the bicycles along with Fiesta Shows out of Salisbury, said the bicycles cost $130 each, but the message was clear – that hard work has its rewards. “The young ladies were still able to get to school, no matter what,” D’Angelo said. Princy said that she’ll give her older bicycle, which has training wheels, to her brother, Smit, 5. This will be her third bicycle. Eman will also pass her bicycle down the family line, giving it to her younger cousin, Ziyad, 3. This is her fourth bicycle and doesn’t require training wheels. Eman admitted that she missed one day of school for Eid, the last day of the Muslim holiday Ramadan, but it was an excused absence. Similarly, Princy missed school for a doctor’s appointment, but that was also an excused absence. Both students wake up at approximately 6 a.m. and end the school day by 2:40 p.m. They don’t plan to ride the bicycles to school since they are used to walking. Eman plans to store the bicycle in her basement while Princy will keep the biLawrence A.

From left: Lynn Police Offi cers Matthew Coppinger, Joshua Seaman, Michael McEachern, John Bernard and Joshua Hilton. (Photo Courtesy of the Lynn Police Department) By Tara Vocino Revere-based nonprofit introduced the newest member of the United States Mounted Unit in honor of fi ve Lynn offi cers who were the recipients of the Trooper George Hanna Award for bravery. Lynn Strong, a former racehorse in New York weighing in at 1,200 pounds, resides in Hadley, which is in western Massachusetts, and will leave for Washington, D.C., next week to become part of the United States Park Police Mounted Unit there. Lynn police offi cers named the horse after the slogan Boston Strong, following the Marathon Bombing in 2013. “His role in the unit will be to help control crowds, fi ght crime with the officer and help protect the general public,” Horses and Heroes Foundation Founder Skyllar Mullvaney said Monday. The horse was named in honor of Lynn Police Offi cers John Bernard, Joshua Seaman, Joshua Hilton, Matthew Coppinger and Michael McEachern – they each performed an act of bravery and were recognized as the Trooper George Hanna Memorial Awards recipients. Hanna was a State Trooper shot and killed while stopping a car in Auburn along the Massachusetts Pike in 1983. Hilton helped to save an offi cer’s life, while the othA ers shot a suspect out of selfdefense during a domestic incident. The thoroughbred gelding, 8, had the streets in downtown Lynn blocked off Saturday, so that he could meet each of the fi ve offi cers and politicians. According to Lynn Police Lt. Michael Kmiec, Hilton, who is currently a member of the Patrol Division, has served on the department for 14 years. Hilton has received a number of local and statewide awards over the years for his bravery in multiple incidents, but he was honored with the Trooper George Hanna Award in 2014. Bernard, who is a 12-year member of the department, is the only offi cer of the fi ve who is two-time recipient of the Trooper George Hanna award, receiving it in 2014 and in 2017. A fi rearms instructor, he served overseas in the United States Marine Corps., where he was part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

CON CON VOTES TO TAX MILLIONAIRES ANOTHER 4 PERCENT (H 86) House and Senate held a Constitutional convention and approved 145-48, (House approved 112-43, Senate approved 33-5), a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow a graduated income tax in Massachusetts and impose an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current fl at 5.1 percent one, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million. Language in the amendment requires that “subject to appropriation” the revenue will go to fund quality public education, aff ordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation. The proposal is sponsored by Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester) and Rep. James O’Day (D-West Boylston). In order to go on the ballot for voters to decide, it needs to twice have the votes of 101 of the 200 members of the House and Senate in the current 20192020 session and again in the 2021-2022 session. This vote is the second time for the 20192020 session. The earliest it could be on the ballot is in November 2022. A similar eff ort by a group called the “Raise Up Coalition” to get the question on the 2018 ballot was derailed when it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Judicial Court which said the constitution prohibits placing more than one objective in a single proposed constitutional amendment that is sought by a citizens’ group. The court’s decision noted that the proposal imposed the tax and then stipulates how the money could be spent. The current amendment is proposed by legislators rather than citizens and according to proponents, amendments proposed by legislators can have more than one objective and would not be ruled unconstitutional by the court. Supporters said the amendment will aff ect only 20,000 extremely wealthy individuals and will generate up to $2 billion annually in additional tax revenue. They argued that using the funds for education and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation will benefit millions of Bay State taxpayers. They noted the hike would help lower income families which are now paying a higher share of their income in taxes. Opponents argued the new tax will result in the loss of 9,500 private sector jobs, $405 million annually in personal disposable income and some millionaires moving out of state. They said that the earmarking of the funds for specifi c projects is illegal and said all the funds will go into the General Fund and be up for grabs for anything. “Today marks the start of improved social and economic outcomes for communities across the commonwealth,” said Rep. O’Day. “Moving forward, the Fair Share Amendment will allow our education systems and transportation infrastructure to be strengthened. By reducing the burden placed on low and middle-income families, the Fair Share Amendment will benefi t students, workers, and businesses -- ensuring that the Massachusetts economy continues to grow and thrive.” “Another election must intervene before the second and fi nal vote occurs, in the 2021-22 legislative session, before this constitutional amendment can appear on the 2022 statewide ballot for voters to ultimately decide,” said Chip Ford, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation. “Though in Massachusetts it’s highly unlikely, there remains a distant possibility that a turnover in the Legislature in the 2020 election can derail this abomination. Unfortunately, Massachusetts being “The Bluest State,” pigs will likely need to THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, June 21, 2019 fl y fi rst and Hell freeze over “The revenues from the Fair Share Amendment will go a long way to increase funding for public schools, make higher education more aff ordable for students and families, and fi x our state’s crumbling roads, bridges and public transportation,” said Sen Lewis. Today, more than three quarters of legislators voted to advance the Fair Share Amendment, refl ecting the overwhelming public support for this measure. The Fair Share Amendment is the best way to make the investments in our Commonwealth that we desperately need in the fairest way possible.” “The people that will be hurt most by this are the thousands of small businesses across our state that will be slammed by this 80 percent hike,” said Paul Craney, executive director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance “ It’s your local, independent real estate agent, or the little café on Main Street that will be shouldering the burden of this tax increase, not corporate CEOs.” (A “Yes” vote is for the additional 4 percent tax. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes Yes REVENUE FROM TAX MUST BE IN ADDITION TO CURRENT FUNDING (H 86) The Constitutional Convention rejected 40-156, (House rejected 34-123. Senate rejected 6-33) an amendment that would require that the revenue generated by the 4 percent tax be in addition to the amount of funding for education and transportation that the Legislature already spends on those two areas. Amendment supporters said this will prevent a “bait and switch” scenario in which $2 billion in new revenue from the 4 percent tax is dedicated to transportation and education but then the Legislature takes money out of the money currently spent in those areas and spends it elsewhere. The net result would be that the $2 billion is essentially spent in other areas rather than the two promised ones. Amendment opponents said that the voters have already been educated on this exact amendment the House is considering. They argued that to make changes at this stage is against the democratic imperative of making sure the voters are educated on this and would raise we raise legal issues. “The language in the underlying amendment is what has been vetted and researched over the past several years,” said Rep. O’Day, who opposed the amendment. “It has a very narrow scope. Any additions would change what the will of the people demanded with the underlying amendment.” “The claim that my amendment would somehow confuse voters and would raise legal issues is ludicrous,” said House amendment sponsor GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading.) “All the amendment says is that the revenues raised through the new surtax must be used to supplement state spending on education and transportation, not supplant it. The voters of the commonwealth are being sold a false bill of goods because without this clarifying language, there are no guarantees the Legislature will actually increase spending on our schools and transportation infrastructure. The Legislature doesn’t have a great track record for respecting the will of the voters on tax issues, and my fear is that voters are being set up for a baitand-switch.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo No Rep. RoseLee Vincent No Sen. Joseph Boncore No ALLOW LEGISLATURE TO LOWER THE 4 PERCENT TAX (H 86) The Constitutional Convention rejected 41-155, (House rejected 35-122. Senate rejected 6-33) an amendment that would eliminate the permanent 4 percent surtax and instead designate that the Legislature can set the tax which can be up to 4 percent but can be lower and even as low as zero percent. Amendment supporters said putting the permanent 4 percent tax in the constitution is a bad policy because it would take four years to repeal the tax if the Legislature and/or voters feel that it was a mistake to raise it. They said the amendment would put the power in the hands of the Legislature which could repeal it quickly. “If circumstances change or we see that there is significant out-migration among the 20,000 or so who would be subject to the millionaire’s tax, [this amendment] would allow the Legislature to take mitigating actions,” said Rep. Randy Hunt (R-Sandwich), the sponsor of the amendment. “Without [it], it’s a fouryear process to “re-amend” the constitution.” Amendment opponents said that the voters have already become familiar with the exact amendment the House is considering. They argued that to make changes wouldn’t make sense and is unfair to the voters. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo No Rep. RoseLee Vincent No Sen. Joseph Boncore No LOWER THE TAX RATE FOR TAXPAYERS EARNING UNDER $100,000 (H 86) The Constitutional Convention rejected 41-155 (House rejected 35-122, Senate rejected 6-33), an amendment that would eliminate the permanent 4 percent surtax and instead designate that the Legislature can set the tax which can be up to 4 percent but can be lower, and even as low as zero percent. The amendment also provides for some tax relief by lowering the rate for taxpayers who earn less than $100,000. The rate would be reduced by 50 percent of the rate of the millionaire’s tax for that year. Amendment supporters said the state’s tax system is regressive and that this amendment will reduce taxes for low-income and lowermiddle-class taxpayers. They gave an example of how it would work. If the Legislature imposes the highest 4 percent surtax, the current 5 percent income tax rate for people who earn less than $100,000 would fall to 3 percent. Amendment opponents said that the House should stay with the language of the amendment as written because voters have been well informed on it and changing the amendment would be unfair. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. RoseLee Vincent Sen. Joseph Boncore Rep. Bob DeLeo No No No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozBEACON | SEE PAGE 17

He told me my Social Security number had been suspended because it was involved in a crime, and that I needed to reactivate it and secure my bank funds by withdrawing them and putting them on gift cards. Is this a scam? Worried Rita The Senior Bocce League that plays at the Rossetti-Cowan Senior Center completed its season and held a Bocce Banquet at DeMaino’s Restaurant on Thursday, June 13. Forty-eight players compete from September through May each year. (Photos-Courtesy of Stephen W. Fielding) Dear Rita, Yes. It’s actually known as the “Social Security imposter scam” and it’s becoming a widespread problem in the U.S. The Federal Trade Commission has received more than 76,000 reports about this growing scam in the past 12 months alone. With average losses of $1,500, this scam is quickly becoming one of fraudsters’ favorite tricks. The Social Security imposter scam usually begins with a consumer receiving a call from someone claiming to be with the Social Security Administration. The caller informs the victim that their Social Security number (SSN) has been suspended because it was stolen or has been involved in a crime. The phone call may be a robocaller with a message to “press 1” to speak with a fake support representative who then claims to be able to help reactivate the consumer’s SSN. In a variation on this scam, the caller may also reach out to tell a victim that they qualify for an increase in benefi ts. All they need to do is provide the scammer with some information. Typically, these callers will ask their victims several questions to get personal information that they can then use to steal their identity or drain their bank accounts. Because of the numerous data breaches, these scammers may have access to accurate personal information – such as your SSN – that they can use to build trust and appear legitimate. Regardless, before concluding the scam, fraudsters will almost always request payment to “unfreeze” the SSN or to process the increase in benefi ts. The scammer may request that they be paid via an unusual payment method such as by gift card (and giving the fraudster the gift card number), or some form of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.

As of early this week, the 9-1 Rockies were two games ahead of the East Boston Knights for fi rst place in the Carl Yastrzemski Division. The league, which is made up of two fi ve-team divisions (the Ted Williams Division is the other one), has seen its share of rainouts so far this season. Three of Revere’s last three scheduled games leading into the fi rst half of this week had been postponed. The one that was played ended in a 6-3 victory over the Savin Hill Dodgers last Saturday at Revere High School. The Rockies jumped ahead 6-1 after four frames and held on from there, scoring twice in the fi rst inning, once in the third and three more times in the fourth. Revere fi nished with just six hits, but Bobby Foote’s three-run homer in the fourth was the key blast that turned out to bring home the winning runs. Bobby Polanco also smacked two hits and drove in the other three runs for the Rockies. Kevin Sinatra added a double while Tony Iafolla and Zach Aresty both singled. Starting pitcher Alex Wong hurled fi ve innings for the win, allowing two runs on four hits with fi ve strikeouts. Wong improved to 3-0 on the season with a 1.40 ERA. Gehrig Schilling worked the fi nal two frames and gave up one run. Through their fi rst 10 games, the Rockies have outscored the opposition by a combined 67-28 margin and were hitting .292 as a team with 59 RBI. Ryan Petrone was batting .536 with 15 hits and 17 runs scored while Polanco (.355 AVG) was leading the team with 14 RBI. Foote had 11 RBI and Iafolla was hitting .417. In the pitching category, Chris Sandini (3-0) has been amazing, not having given up an earned run in his three starts. He had allowed just five hits in over 17 innings pitched with 22 Ks. Likewise, Joe Shepard, also 3-0, was nearly as eff ective with an ERA of 1.00. Revere sported a staggering team ERA of 1.62. The team’s lone defeat came against the AI Thomas Athletics, 6-2, back on June 10. The A’s swatted Rockies’ pitching for 12 hits and four early runs to come out on top. Revere managed seven hits. Jacob Byrne had two of them, including a double, and Petrone had two hits. Iafolla and Chanel Eyebar drove in the runs. NOW BOOKING NEW CUSTOMERS! DON’T WAIT!

Page 22 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, June 21, 2019 ~ RevereTV Spotlight ~ B e on the lookout for all kinds of new content that our community members are airing on RevereTV! Kim Luiso and Rose Burns of Kim’s Got Crafts were recently in for an editing session to start adding cuts and graphics to two new episodes. Wayne Davidson recorded a martial arts and rap performance to edit together later for his Davidson’s Dojo program. The production crew of Youth to Christ was here at their usual Monday time slot to record a new episode. Rachid Moukhabir is out recording more content for his soccer program. We would like to thank Cesar Agudelo for volunteering his time to help record the Paul Revere School Field Day a few weeks ago. This was hosted by Paul Revere schoolteacher Jodi Collins. Agudelo contributed to recording over 150 clips of footage, which our staff edited down to viewable coverage. You will be able to watch the RTV coverage of the event on our channel and also on YouTube. Rahma Mokdad joined RevereTV as a community member and took a basic studio class. This class is taught by our Director of Community Media, Andrew Love, and covers all aspects of the studio, including our basic equipment and control room functions. John DiGregorio was in for a composition class, and Kim Luiso and student editor Angie took a basic camera class. Taking these classes allows our community members to learn more about what RevereTV has to offer, but also enables them to make use of our equipment at a more advanced and independent level. For example, we recommend that community members at least take a basic camera class before borREAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
