Business Owner Hansi Vlladesi, of Malden, thought it was all a nightmare when he was dozing off to sleep when he received the news that his family restaurant was on fi re. “It’s our life,” Vlladesi said Wednesday night. “It was a surreal feeling, and we’re still digesting everything.” He and his father, George, bought the restaurant 20 years ago in 1999 and the business was going well. They added a lunch and dinner menu. Previously, it was a breakfast joint, according to Vlladesi. Mayor Brian Arrigo said the city is saddened to hear about the fire that destroyed this quintessential business in the Shirley Avenue neighborhood. “Our hearts are with the VlladeFIRE | SEE PAGE 5 Council, residents address Wheelabrator issue GE: “We test our engines in Lynn and sometimes at night” By Alexis Mikulski However, not everyone beW heelabrator, a waste to energy facility located in Saugus, is under fi re for causing Revere residents excessive noise disturbances and possible health hazards. At the City Council meeting on Monday night, citizens and council members went back and forth trying to determine the root cause of these issues and a possible solution. According to its website, Wheelabrator has 25 facilities located in the United States and United Kingdom. They generate electricity by using an assortment of waste fuels, including waste wood and waste coal. One of their main goals is to “protect the health and safety of the communities they serve” – their highest priority. lieves they are living up to this standard. “If this facility were to be proposed anywhere else in the United States of America, I believe with the existing safeguards they don’t have down there it would be denied,” said Ward 5 Councillor John Powers. “There is a meeting with the Board of Health in Saugus on August 6. I anticipate to go to that meeting, and whatever voice I can lend to end that situation down there I certainly will,” he said. Throughout the meeting, residents lined up to voice their complaints against Wheelabrator and demonstrate the noise disturbance by personally recorded iPhone clips. A loud, droning noise could be heard from these cell phone speakers, with many comparing it to the sound of a roaring jet engine. There were also multiple conversations about the possible detrimental effects Wheelabrator has on the public’s health, with cancer being a key word brought up on multiple occasions. But is Wheelabrator just to blame for all of these problems? Some council members think there are more parties at fault. “Wheelabrator is no longer making the noises and now it’s coming from General Electric, which is right next to Wheelabrator,” said Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky. “If we’re going to go after Wheelabrator, we need to go after General Electric also. I COUNCIL | SEE PAGE 2 Prices subject to change FLEET
Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, August 2, 2019 COUNCIL | from page 1 question the legality of us going into another town,” he said. But some Saugus residents who live closer to Wheelabrator than their Revere neighbors have stated in the past that Wheelabrator has been unfairly blamed for noise that has come from the nearby General Electric plant in Lynn, just down the road on Route 107. Both plants are located in the industrialized section of their respective municipalities. A few weeks ago, MassDEP, also known as the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, went down to Wheelabrator and did not fi nd any issues with the current situation. They performed a surprise investigation at General Electric and did fi nd problems. General Electric Aviation is located in Lynn, and the facility is responsible for building and testing jet engines. Due to this, some think the noise could be coming from General Electric instead of Wheelabrator. But that is something that Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo says is unlikely. “I think it’s very low considering the time in which this happens. Every time someone has contacted me, it’s been at night,” said Councillor-at-Large Rotondo. “I do not believe, based upon what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard by driving up to the facility while this was going on, that this was from GE; it’s from Wheelabrator,” he said. “Period. No guessing – my car and myself went up there … That being said, I don’t know when GE tests their planes, but I suspect they probably do it during the days, if they test planes at all.” The Revere Advocate reached out to General Electric’s corporate headquarters in New York to fi nd out. A representative for the company, who spoke on condition of anonymity, responded on Thursday by stating, “We do test our engines in Lynn and sometimes it is at night; it just really depends on the production schedule.” For now, the City Council voted to continue this investigation until further information is available.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, August 2, 2019 Page 3 The Spirit of the Bagel Bin lives on Victim of Revere shooting succumbs to injuries; two in custody S uff olk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins announced on July 24 that a man who was shot during an altercation in Revere on July 18 has succumbed to his injuries and two defendants are in custody in connection with the shooting that claimed his life. The shooting victim, 35-year-old John Brooks of Dorchester, suff ered a gunshot wound during an altercation in the area of Centennial Street in Revere at approximately 7:18 p.m. on Thursday, July 18. Brooks was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. Tragically, Brooks died shortly before 9:30 p.m. on July 23. UNDAUNTED: Even with all the turmoil of the Bagel Bin being destroyed by fi re this past week, regular customers have come together to meet at another location. The new Casa Blanca Pastry has opened its doors and their hearts to the Bagel Bin customers with a private dining area and small refreshments. The group consists of, from left to right, Karen Steed, Mike Millstone, Bob Mahoney, Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky, David Rostoff , Billy DiSisto, City Council President Arthur Guinasso, Steve Clayman and Bagel Bin owners George and Ella Vlladesi. This will be the new meeting place until the Bagel Bin is rebuilt. Thanks to Nabil and Yosef for their hospitality! (Courtesy of Ira Novoselsky) Based on witness statements and video of the shooting, Kevin Nguyen, 19, of Dorchester, was arrested by Revere Police near the location of the shooting. Jorge Cardova, 21, of Revere, was identifi ed for an alleged role in the shooting and taken into custody on a warrant earlier on July 24. Both are charged with armed assault with intent to rob, attempted murder, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. New charges are expected in the wake of Brooks’s death. Nguyen was arraigned on July 19 in Chelsea District Court, ordered held on $50,000 bail, ordered to stay away from and have no contact with the victim and witnesses to the shooting, ordered to wear a GPS monitor and ordered to remain under home confinement in the event he is released on bail. He is represented by Attorney Anthony Fugate and returns to court on August 13. Cardova was scheduled to be arraigned in Chelsea District Court on July 25. “My heart goes out to Mr. Brooks’ family and loved ones as they grieve his loss to an act of gun violence,” Rollins said. “I give my word to Mr. Brooks’ family and to the Revere community that we will hold the individuals responsible for his death accountable.”
Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, August 2, 2019 More than 30 candidates make the ballot for fall elections One mayoral candidate withdraws; two primary elections expected By Tara Vocino T he mayoral race is down to two candidates and two primary elections are expected for the councillor-at-large and Ward 6 races. A total of 34 candidates will appear on the ballot this fall. Mayor Brian Arrigo and Councillor-at-Large Daniel Rizzo will lock horns in a rematch of their tight 2015 election. A third potential mayoral candidate, Cheryl Whittredge, had taken out nomination papers; however, she didn’t submit signatures for certifi cation by the 5 p.m. deadline on July 23, according to Colella. As a result, there won’t be a primary election in the mayoral race. Rather, Arrigo and Rizzo will advance to the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 5. “Each candidate needs 50 signatures, but we ask for 70 in case any signatures bounce back,” Election Commissioner Diane Colella said. The biggest contest on Election Day is the councillorat-large race, where 13 candidates are running for five seats, Colella said. The primary election will be on Tuesday, Sept. 10. Four at-large incumbents, Jessica Giannino, Steven Morabito, George Rotondo and Anthony Zambuto, are seeking reelection for twoyear terms. Richard Ireton recently pulled nomination papers to run for an at-large seat. Gregg LaCedra was the only at-large candidate who didn’t return papers and is, therefore, out of the race, Colella said. School Committee Member Gerry Visconti is seeking an atlarge seat while retired Fire Lt. John Correggio is looking to return to the City Council. Robert Capoccia, Dimple Rana, Wayne Rose, Philip Russo, Kevin Sanchez and Brian Vesce are also running for at-large seats. The Ward 6 seat is currently occupied by Charles Patch, who decided not to seek reelection, Colella said. Therefore, Nicholas Moulaison, Sr., Francis Sarro and Richard Serino are running to replace Patch. The top two fi nishers in the Sept. 10 primary will advance to the General Election. Two incumbent ward councillors will face competition in the General Election. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky and challenger Robert Bent will appear on the November ballot. Ward 5 Councillor John Powers and challenger Eric Lampedecchio will also meet in a rematch from the 2017 race. Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna, Ward 3 Councillor Arthur Guinasso and Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe are running unopposed, according to the nomination papers. In the School Committee race, there are nine candidates running for six seats. The fi ve incumbents are Stacey Rizzo, Michael Ferrante, Susan Gravellese, Frederick Sannella and Carol Tye; all of them are seeking reelection. They are being challenged by Anthony D’Ambrosio, John Kingston, Albert Terminiello, Jr. and Michael Toto. Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

The fi re was contained to the building, according to Fortuna. The fi re broke out at approximately 11:38 p.m. on Monday, and crews were on scene until 7:36 a.m. on Tuesday, partially due to the extreme heat. When the roof began to partially collapse, crews had to make an exterior attack, Fortuna continued. The origin was in a void space between the ceiling and roof in the rear of the building near the kitchen, Fortuna said Wednesday morning. Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Todisco said heavy black smoke was pushing from the grates and visibility in the street was near zero. Ward 2 City Councillor Ira Novoselsky, who went there daily for 30 years, said staff knew exactly what he ate seven days of the week and every day was a diff erent meal. “It was on the grill before I sat down,” Novoselsky said Wednesday morning. “Everything was homemade.” His favorites included bagel, lox and cream cheese; waffles; bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich; American chop suey and beef stew from Mama Ella, the cook. Calling it his “offi ce” for constituents and himself to present their issues, he said it was the place for all elected offi - cials, such as Revere City Councillors, former Senator John McCain, former U.S. Senator Scott Brown, U.S. Senator Ed Markey, U.S. Congresswoman Katherine Clark, Governor Charles Baker, Speaker of the Massachusetts House Robert DeLeo and every mayor in Revere. “People came from all walks of life from many miles away to meet and come back to the Bagel Bin,” Novoselsky said. “Folks who had moved away 40 years ago came back to The Bin to reminisce.” Arrigo said Baker came to the Bagel Bin Deli to announce a $2 million grant to benefi t Shirley Avenue and erected a sign there, honoring the memory of former Mayor Bob Haas.

It was the Bagel Bin for 40 years with three or more owners. Novoselsky said while the establishment will be missed for a while, he’ll do anything in his power to restore it as soon as possible.

City Council approves loan for Alden Mills/Point of Pines Fire Station By Alexis Mikulski O n Monday night in a unanimous vote by the Revere City Council, a $9.2 million loan was approved to build the Alden Mills/Point of Pines Fire Station. This new construction will take place in the Point of Pines neighborhood on the same lot as the previous fi re station, which has been closed for nearly two decades. “This is just one step closer to making sure the City of Revere provides its residents with the highest level of services,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “The fi re station has been a priority of mine since taking offi ce,” he said. Members of the public as well as the Revere Fire Department showed up and offered their full support during the City Council meeting. Fire Chief Christopher Bright explained why this addition is so important for the city of Revere. “This is something that I feel where time is of the essence; we should not delay; we need to move forward on this,” said Chief Bright. “My past few years as Chief I’ve seen how the weather changes and the storms surging. That’s an isolated area of the city, and it’s very diffi cult to get down there when the fl ooding starts,” he said. “That station will serve this city and will lessen our response time in that area; it’s much needed.” Residents of the Point of Pines neighborhood cheered for the 11-0 vote, especially Ann Straccia, whose story silenced the entire room. “About a year ago I had a real bad accident at my house. If it wasn’t for the fi re trucks on the North Shore, I wouldn’t be here talking to you,” said Straccia. “I’m on a blood thinner and thought I hit my head, but when the firefighters came they showed me it was my eye,” she said. “They couldn’t save my eye at the ICU, but I’m thankful I’m here telling my story.” “We really need another fi re station; if that truck wasn’t there, I wouldn’t be here tonight. I thank Councillor [John] Powers for fi ghting for that station for us,” she said. Ward 5 Councillor John Powers has worked relentlessly throughout his career to make the Alden Mills/Point of Pines Fire Station possible. “I, for several years now, have tried to get that station open. We have one of the best fi re departments in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and sadly enough I have had to call on them a couple of times for family incidents,” said Powers. “I want to publicly thank them, and I also want to thank Chief Bright, who traveled to Arlington with me on a couple of occasions, Mayor Arrigo for listening and making this happen, as well as my colleagues on the City Council,” he said. “Hopefully, 18 months from now we will be sitting here ready to cut the ribbon on the new fire station.” Every member of City Council spoke out in support of the Alden Mills/Point of Pines Fire Station and agreed that it will benefi t residents across the entire city.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, August 2, 2019 Page 7 Is a water shuttle possible from Revere to Logan? City Council thinks so By Alexis Mikulski T he Revere City Council voted on Monday night that the Mayor partner with the State and review the feasibility of creating a pier and water shuttle service from Revere to Logan Airport, Downtown Boston and Seaport areas. In a motion put forth by City Council Vice President Patrick Keefe and Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito, this will help ease the traffi c congestion in the area and provide easy access for residents who wish to travel from the North Shore. “This is a way to take more cars off of the road coming into the city; it’s only going to get more congested over the years, so this is a serious motion,” said Keefe. “We are looking for more ways to work on what we have, which is a regional traffi c problem,” he said. “There are only a few other ways to make this possible. We can create more roads to Boston, which I don’t think is going to happen, or we can do something by the air or something by sea.” Right now, the only ways to get to these targeted areas from Revere are by taking the MBTA Blue Line, driving or partaking in a ride share service, such as Lyft or Uber. With all of the new development projects in the city and the construction on the Tobin Bridge, which cuts traffi c down to just two lanes and has a completion date of 2020, commuting congestion is at an all-time high for residents living on the North Shore. This is something that Keefe hopes to change with a waterway service. “We have waterways and, obviously, we would have to build the entire infrastructure, but someone could jump on about every 15 minutes and go to the Seaport area and Downtown Boston, or Logan Airport,” he said. “It could come from Salem, Lynn, and make stops along the way.” To get to Downtown Boston from Revere, the average commute time is 18 minutes by car and 22 minutes by train. But lately the MBTA has been experiencing problems that have made this time frame increase exponentially. Two weeks ago, the Blue Line experienced a shut down that forced 200 passengers to evacuate the train via a tunnel near Government Center during the morning rush. dine drink This is something that Morabito wishes to eliminate with the proposed waterway service. “I believe providing this water service would benefi t commuters and residents. It would, obviously, help with traffi c congestion, too, and it would be a means of transportation for those who do not have a vehicle,” he said. “When the MBTA bus or MBTA train is broken down, I really think this will help streamline mobility from the whole coastal shore.” During Monday’s City Council meeting, it was revealed the City Council President Arthur Guinasso tried to put fourth this motion years ago. He stated the only one who didn’t laugh at him was Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo, who has expressed his unwavering support. “I am for this. But another thing we have to think about is where are people going to park their cars?” he said. “I think we could maybe look at Suff olk Downs and work with them. This is something that could be mutually benefi cial.” “It is a little high in the sky, but I think if we can think outside of the box, we might be able to come up with something. I support it 100 percent.” Rep. Vincent welcomes Bill Reedy to the State House BOSTON – State Rep. RoseLee Vincent recently welcomed lifetime Revere resident and current American Legion Post 61 Commander Bill Reedy to the Massachusetts State House for a visit and tour of historic building.

Everett Aluminum s a newer resident to Revere, I was delighted and proud to see the superb teamwork that made the 2019 sand castle event a huge success for residents and visitors alike. Traffi c management improvements paid off and I saw many more people on foot along [Revere Beach] Boulevard this year. My friends and I felt safe and welcome at the events in great part to the planning and execution of security measures by Revere Police, State Police and DCR (Department of Conservation and Recreation). I was already a fan of the DCR for their stewardship of the beach resources and this weekend, they out did themselves by working early and late to keep the walkways, roads and beach clean for the next day visitors. The fireworks were exceptional with pyrotechnics new to me and my friends. Walking the beach, sitting on the wall and enjoying a friendly crowd at this great event makes me even prouder to call Revere home. Thank you everyone! Sincerely, Janet Long Summer is Here!

With no strings attached. $43.1 BILLION FISCAL YEAR 2020 STATE BUDGET (H 4000) House 159-0, Senate 39-1, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker the conference committee compromise version of a $43.1 billion fi scal 2020 state budget. Baker has ten days to sign the budget and to veto sections of it. It would then take a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to override any vetoes. The conference committee version was hammered out after the House and Senate each approved different budgets. The package raises spending by $1.6 billion, or 4 percent over fi scal 2019. “The strategic investments that are made in this budget refl ect the shared priorities of the Legislature,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “By incorporating the input from our colleagues, this document has been made stronger. I am proud that key services in the areas of education, housing, homelessness and the environment will see signifi cant funding increases in this budget.” “This consensus fiscal year 2020 budget strikes a balance between maintaining fi scal r responsibility and making targeted investments that benefi t our commonwealth’s economic wellbeing,” said Senate Ways and Means Chair Mike Rodrigues (DWestport). “I was the sole vote against the acceptance of the conference committee report because I was concerned the report’s language on offshore wind procurement left key terms undefi ned,” said Sen. Mark Pacheco (D-Taunton). “I brought my concerns to the Senate fl oor and I hope the administration was listening. The conference committee report also did not contain language for the reauthorization of simulcasting, which will end at the close of business on July 31st. Despite my concerns about the conference committee report, however, I was proud to vote along with my colleagues unanimously in favor of enacting the budget because the citizens of Massachusetts depend on the resources it provides for public education, local aid, and countless other vital functions and services.” Beacon Hill Roll Call notes that there actually was not a roll call that was unanimous on the enactment (fi nal approval) of the budget. Enactment was approved by a voice vote. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes AMENDMENT TO ALLOWING UNIONS TO CHARGE NONUNION MEMBERS FOR SOME COSTS (S 2273) House 29-128, Senate 5-34, rejected Gov. Charlie Baker’s amendments to a House and Senate-passed bill that would allow public sector unions to charge non-members for the cost of some services and representation. The bill was fi led as a response to the Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that public employees cannot be forced to pay fees or dues to a union to which he or she does not belong. Freedom of speech advocates hailed the decision while labor advocates said it was an unjust attack on unions. In his message to the Legislature, Baker said his amendments would protect the privacy rights of public employees and correct statutory inconsistencies. addresses issues raised in the Janus decision … other provisions in the bill go beyond what the Janus decision required,” said Baker in a message to the Legislature. “These provisions would jeopardize the privacy rights of public employees and prevent the commonwealth and public sector unions from negotiating certain terms and conditions of employment.” “The House and Senate engaged in a serious debate regarding the substance of the governor’s amendments, and ultimately decided on a bipartisan basis to overwhelmingly support language which did not include them,” said Rep. Paul Brodeur (D-Melrose). “Ensuring that we do everything we can in Massachusetts to protect workers’ rights continues to be a top priority. I’m eager to have these worker protections become law.“ “The governor tried to strike a balance,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance which was in favor of the amendments. “House and Senate leaders unfortunately didn’t want to cooperate with those who raised serious privacy concerns. We are hopeful the governor will veto the legislation, it’s the only appropriate response at this point.” (A “Yes” vote is for Baker’s amendments. A “No” vote is against them.) Rep. Bob DeLeo No Rep. RoseLee Vincent No $1.3 BILLION FOR GREENWORKS (H 3987) House 158-0, approved and sent to the Senate the GreenWorks Bill which invests $1.3 billion in resiliency, clean energy and energy efficiency to shrink the state’s carbon footprint. The proposal establishes a $1 billion grant program for cities and towns to fund clean energy, energy effi ciency and climate change measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions, fortify infrastructure and reduce municipal costs. “The GreenWorks program is going to support economic development opportunities throughout Massachusetts by helping our cities and towns adopt Massachusetts-made clean energy technology and provide jobs through green infrastructure projects,” said Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox), House chair of the Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture. “[The bill] will help the Berkshires and our entire commonwealth save money and leave more resources for other priorities such as schools, fi rst responders, roads and bridges.” “GreenWorks was meant to be, and is, broad and very fl exible,” said Rep. Tom Golden (D-Lowell), chairman of the Committee on Telecommunication, Utilities and Energy and the bill’s chief sponsor “It is to allow each community to identify their problems and use GreenWorks dollars to solve their issues and their problems. “They care about their taxes, they care about their roads, they care about many things,” said Rep. Ted Speliotis (D-Danvers) during the debate. “But when you ask them or when I’m asked in my district or here what are people talking about, they’re talking about the changes in our climate and the eff ects -- and all in the negative, In the last month we have been barraged to a point like never in our lifetime -- people fearful of going to the beaches, people fearful of their summer homes, they’re fearful of their own property -- and each and every year we spend more time recouping from the damages.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes BAN CHILD MARRIAGE (S 2294) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would ban the marriage of anyone under the age of 18. Current law allows minors to get married if they have parental consent. “It’s a good day in Massachusetts,” said Fraidy Reiss, Founder and Executive Director of Unchained At Last - the group behind the ban. The Legislature just moved one step closer to eliminating a human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives.” During the debate, the bill’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) said that the Legislature has the power to stop child marriages in the Bay State. She noted that Delaware and New Jersey passed similar legislation last year, making them the fi rst states in the nation to completely ban child marriage. She noted that means that Massachusetts still has the chance to be on the forefront of justice. “Unfortunately, 1,231 underage youth were married in Massachusetts between the years 2000 and 2016,” said the bill’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester). “This is a problem, because young people who marry under the age of eighteen are not aff orded the tools to protect themselves or to remove themselves from an abusive relationship or a forced marriage. (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes MUST UPDATE DATABASE OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS (S 2295) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House legislation designed to make it easier for patients to access health care, both behavioral and physical, by requiring health insurance companies to do monthly updates of their provider databases which tell patients which doctors and other medical resources are available to them. “Many families and individuals seeking health care are unable to fi nd a provider that meets their needs because of outdated and unclear provider directories,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (DWinchester), the sponsor of the proposal. “Accurate provider directories are critical to improving access to timely and appropriate care to reduce disparities, to improve health outcomes and to decrease unnecessary utilization of emergency and inpatient care. We are proud that the Senate took this important step forward today.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes HOW LONG 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 dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of July 2216, the House met for a total of seven hours and 25 minutes while the Senate met for a total of eight hours and 21 minutes. Mon. July 22 House 11:02 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Senate 11:04 a.m. to 4:59 p.m. Tues. July 23 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:06 a.m. No Senate session Wed.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, August 2, 2019 by Jim Miller Finding an Alternative to AARP Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any conservative membership organizations for older adults that off er discounts too? AARP is way too liberal for my liking. Discount Seeking Conservative Dear Conservative, There are actually quite a few senior advocacy organizations out there promoting themselves as conservative alternatives to AARP, and many of them off er membership benefi t too. Here’s what you should know. Anti-AARP While AARP, with a membership of around 38 million, is by far the biggest and most powerful advocacy group for people age 50 and older, there are millions of older Americans that don’t like or agree with their stance on various issues. Many believe AARP leans too far to the left despite its stated nonpartisan nature. For seniors that disagree with AARP, there are other conservative leaning groups that you can join that may better represent your views. And, many of them offer their members discounts on things like travel, insurance, healthcare and more. Here are several to check into. 60 Plus: American Association of Senior Citizens (60plus. org): Established in 1992, this nonprofit group was founded to lobby for issues it holds dear, namely free enterprise, fewer taxes and less Government. Their main priority is to end the federal estate tax and preserve social security. Membership fees run $12, $24 or $48 per year, or $299 for a lifetime membership. They also offer a bevy of discounts on travel and entertainment, cable, Internet and satellite services, dental, vision and hearing packages, roadside assistance and more. American Seniors Association (AmericanSeniors.org): Founded in 2005 for people age 50 and older, this conservative organization is built on five foundations, which includes rebuilding national values, Social Security reform, Medicare reform, tax code reform and control of government overspending. Fees to join run $15 for one year, $25 for two or $35 for three years, and members receive access to a variety of benefit on travel, home and auto insurance, security services, health and wellness (medical, dental, vision and hearing) and more. Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC.us): With more than one million members, this organization was started in 2007 for people 50 and older. Their mission is to help seniors fight high taxes, reduce excessive government involvement in our day-to-day lives, and preserve American values. They also offer a host of benefits on home, health and auto insurance, travel, vision and dental care, prescription drugs, retail savings, roadside assistance and more. Membership fees run $16 per year, or less if you join for multiple years. The Seniors Coalition (Senior.org): Founded in 1990, this conservative public advocacy group claims to have around four million supporters. Their key issues are to protect Social Security benefits, stop Social Security payments to illegal aliens from Mexico, eliminate the death tax, and reform the Social Security COLA system. TSC offers very few membership benefits. Annual fees run $10 for one person per, or $13 per couple and you can join at any age. Some other senior membership organizations to consider that offer discounts include the non-for-profit American Senior Benefits Association (ASBAonline.org), and the conservative leaning National Association of Conservative Seniors (NAOCS.us), and Christian Seniors Association (CSAbenefits.site-ym.com).

Rockies add four more wins after rare stumble Jacob Byrne continued his hitting ways as the Rockies won four of fi ve to improve to 22-2 on the season. (Advocate Photo by Greg Phipps) By Greg Phipps C oming off a rare bump in the road, losing to the AI Thomas Athletics last Friday, the Revere Rockies quickly righted the ship and reeled off four straight wins to improve 22-2 in Yawkey Baseball League action. As of early this week, fi rst place Revere was 10 points ahead of the East Boston Knights in the Carl Yastrzemski Division and owned the best league record by a wide margin. The latest four-game win streak culminated with an 8-3 rout of the South Boston Saints on Monday at Ronan Park. Trailing 1-0, the Rockies tied it in the third and pulled ahead for good with four runs in the fi fth and three more the sixth. Alex Wong’s three-run homer was a big contribution, and two hits each from Ryan Petrone, Jacob Byrne, Kenny Polanco and Nate Laliberte aided the cause. Polanco doubled and had two RBI and Oliver Collette smacked a two-bagger. Starter Kevin Sinatra earned his second win of the season, going six innings and giving up eight hits. He fanned six and had good control, walking just one hitter. Jon Shepard came in and worked a scoreless seventh to put the contest on ice. The Rockies entered Monday’s game having swept the Savin Hill Dodgers in a Sunday doubleheader at Revere High School. Revere defeated the McKay Club Beacons on Saturday at home after dropping a 9-4 decision to AI Thomas the day before. In the Friday loss, the A’s jumped out of the gate fast at Adams Field in Quincy, producing a 6-0 lead after two innings. A single run in the third and two more in the fourth inning for Revere cut the defi - cit to 6-3, but the A’s responded with three in their half of the fourth to pull away for good. Polanco drilled a tworun homer, and Byrne added a double to lead the Revere off ense. Shepard and Collette drove in the other two Rockies runs. Starter Chris Sandini suffered his fi rst loss of the season, going three innings and allowing six runs (four of them earned) on seven hits. He walked four and fanned four in the defeat. Collette and Michael Wong worked the fi nal three innings in relief. The Rockies had scheduled road games against East Boston and the Brighton Black Sox this week, (after press deadline) and host a Saturday doubleheader against AI Thomas (scheduled 2 p.m. start for the opener) at Revere High School.
