The Revere High School boys basketball team did just that by beating Malden, 63-56, in the consolation round of the Tornado Classic Holiday Tournament in Malden at the end of December. Senior tri-captain Ethan Day had a monster night with 36 points, 12 rebounds and six assists and made the tourney allstar team. “We are improving,” Revere coach David Leary said of his 1-4 team. “I think we can be better. I think we will be better, but obviously Ethan Day was fantastic (in the tourney). Avi Lung as well, but to be a good team we will N need everyone to step up collectively. We have all shown we can do it; we just need more consistency on off ense and defense. Just need to keep grinding.” The Patriots entered the consolation game of the Tornado Classic searching for their fi rst victory of the season. Similar to the East Boston game the night before (53-41 loss), senior tri-captain Avi Lung (16 points, four steals) knocked down two fi rst-quarter threes. Senior tri-captain Josh Mercado (three points, three steals) made a three of his own, and senior forward Erick Mayorga had a nice fi nish in the lane to jump the Patriots out to an 11-2 early lead.

In January, after months of contentious debate, the City Council voted 10-1 to move forward with plans to build the school at the former racetrack. The council had, months earlier, pulled their support from building at the Wonderland site due to concerns that the cost would overpower the city budget and limit the city’s ability to pay for essential services. Councillor-atLarge Tony Zambuto was the lone vote against a school at Wonderland. He continued to argue, as he had in the past, that it was a fi nancial mistake to take the Wonderland site off the city’s tax rolls. While cost has always been a concern, City Councillors learned at that January meeting that building on the existing site had a tangle of complications that made the price of a school at both sites similar. A culvert system on the existing high school site that may need millions of dollars of work and the need to pave Ambrose Field for parking during construction were factors that seemed to change minds about where the school should be. The new school’s numbers have changed along the way, but the total cost for the fourstory school is estimated to be around $523 million. That does not include any additional money the city will have to pay as a result of the eminent domain lawsuit the former owners of Wonderland have fi led against the city. They believe the Wonderland site is worth substantially more than TOP STORIES | SEE Page 5 Need a hall for your special event?

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2025 Page 3 BBB Tip: What to know if you’re using NFCs (and you probably are) I f you have a smartphone purchased in the last few years, it almost certainly came with NFC capability. The technology allows users to eff ortlessly transfer money, share fi les and knock out a growing list of other tasks. But that data transfer can create vulnerabilities. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has tips on what NFCs can do and how to stay safe when using them. What exactly is NFC? NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It’s a data transfer that only works within a very short physical range. We’re talking inches, not feet. Some forms of this technology require you to tap one device against another or wave them back and forth in close proximity. NFC capabilities have been around for years, but their use is becoming much more widespread. NFCs are based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, a process that uses radio frequencies to identify objects. NFC is high-frequency RFID that makes it easy for one device to communicate with another. What does it do? NFC uses a series of protocols to make transactions easier and faster. People use them to make contactless payments, share digital content, connect one device with another and a list of other tasks that gets longer every day. How do they work? An NFC relies on proximity, so when users get close to a device they want to interact with, typically, they receive a prompt asking for permission. They follow on-screen prompts from there. It’s convenient because it doesn’t involve downloading an app or signing up to get started. When you activate some NFC technologies, they enable Bluetooth and use that to BBB TIP | SEE Page 8 RON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM Lawrence A.

The investigation resulted in patrol officers discovering a large capacity.556 caliber assault rifle. Officers subsequently arrested Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, 28, for the alleged weapons violation. Revere Police Detectives assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division and Special Investigations Unit, along with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, later applied for and obtained a search warrant for the premises. The search warrant was executed and reportedly recovered approximately 5 kilograms/10 lbs. of the deadly narcotic fentanyl with an estimated street value of over $1 million. In addition, three large capacity rifle magazines, one of which was loaded with.556 ammunition, were recovered. “This individual endangered occupants of the hotel, on-site workers, public safety personnel and the community at large,” stated Police Chief David J. Callahan. “His arrest underscores our commitment to work tirelessly to protect our community from those dealing deadly Fentanyl and possessing illegal firearms.” Sanchez was charged with 10 firearm offenses and Trafficking in Fentanyl. He was arraigned in Chelsea District Court and was held without bail. A Dangerousness Hearing is scheduled for January 2. Subscribe to the Advocate Online!

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2025 Page 5 TOP STORIES | FROM Page 2 the $30 million the city paid after taking the site through eminent domain. The city has bonded $493,217,901 and the Massachusetts School Building Authority approved a $233,889,807 grant to help pay for the school. Design and development work is wrapping up. Shovels should be in the ground this spring and students should be in the halls in September 2028. In Revere, and elsewhere, 2024 was a year of elections. From primaries to the presidential election, candidates seemed to be chasing votes all year. In the November 5 presidential election, 57 percent of the city’s eligible voters went to the polls. True blue Revere gave Vice President Kamala Harris 52 percent of the votes cast with President-elect Donald Trump picking up just over 43 percent of the vote. Revere voters also gave Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Katherine Clark substantial victories. Despite the daily drama of the presidential race, in Revere most eyes were on the local races. Four sitting city councillors were giving up their seats, two of whom, Councillors-at-Large Dan Rizzo and Steven Morabito, announced they were running to be the city’s next mayor, in a race with former Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe. As the former City Council President, Keefe was named Acting Mayor when former Mayor Brian Arrigo was tapped to be the new Commissioner of the state’s Department of Conservation & Recreation. The mayoral race left a wide-open race for seats on the City Council and there were many new faces drawn in. Ultimately, voters elected a young and vibrant new council with Paul Argenzio, Michelle Kelley, Juan Pablo Jarmillo, Robert Haas and Angela Guarino-Sawaya bringing a new wave of energy and talent to the board. The mayoral race seemed to divide the city into two camps, one for Keefe and the other for Rizzo. Both candidates had proven records of leadership but they differed on one major issue, the new high school. Keefe was staunchly behind the plans to build the new school at Wonderland, while Rizzo, who cited concerns about fi nances and student safety, felt the new school should go in on the existing site. At a campaign debate held at Revere High, where Keefe and Rizzo supporters took up diff erent sides of the street, many in the Keefe camp said it was the high school that made up their minds to vote for Keefe. And ultimately, 31 percent to the city’s eligible voters went to the polls and gave Keefe a victory with 51 percent of the vote. But it didn’t end there. Rizzo, who lost by 367 votes, asked for a recount. He said he didn’t expect to change the result of the election, but he wanted to make sure all of the votes of his supporters were counted. The recount showed Keefe picking up one vote, while Rizzo’s final tally increased by fi ve. A new building for Revere High wasn’t the only big news from the school this year. Two ugly brawls at the beginning of the school year were the subject of news reports throughout Greater Boston. During the fi rst fi ght about 20 students began fi ghting in a hallway that led to an exit on Beach Street, where the fi ght spilled out into the surrounding neighborhood. Two weeks later, a second brawl broke out — sending one school administrator to the hospital. Students were disciplined, nine expelled, and Revere was forced to take action to make sure students and teachers are safe. The Revere Teachers Association took their concerns to the City Council. During the past year, councillors have mentioned several times that they have been receiving calls from parents complaining about violence at the high school. City offi cials agreed that no one wants to see a student expelled. Instead, they supported adding a fourth school resource offi cer and hiring a security consultant. Teachers also called for more resources, such as school counselors and social workers. Revere began working together to meet the needs of a generation coping with emotional, social and fi - nancial stress unlike anything previously seen. The City of Revere delivered on some longstanding promises in 2024 and began work on some projects that were welcomed by the community. The Haas Health & Wellness Center opened and is packed with state-of-the-art fitness equipment. There’s also a full schedule of fi tness and exercise classes. The goal of the center is the “collective wellbeing” of the city of Revere. Work started on the revitalization of McMackin Field, a favorite spot of many former players. City workers are taking care of the job in-house with the help of $25,000 in state funding thanks to Rep. Jessica Giannino. Planning and work continued on the city’s community arts center in the decommissioned Beachmont fire station. And work continued on the Alden Mills Point of Pines fire station, which former Ward 5 Councillor John Powers had been fi ghting for. This year, Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya fi led a motion to name the community room in the new station after Powers. While those projects have been welcomed by the community, the city also made progress helping residents struggling with homelessness and addiction. The city has established the 24-hour Chris Alba Warming Center at the American Legion. A state grant of nearly $143,000 will help Revere provide shelter and services to the city’s most vulnerable residents. In another move that demonstrates the forward thinking of city health officials, Revere health officials used money from Revere’s opioid settlement to post boxes where people can access free, no-questions-asked doses of Narcan, a nasal spray that reverses the eff ect of an opioid overdose. The boxes were placed in parts of the city where overdoses have been reported and syringes found. During a presentation on the program last October, city health offi cials reported 620 doses of Narcan had been distributed. Some have questioned the impression the boxes give to visitors to Revere. Hopefully, the impression is that Revere is a city looking out for all residents in every way possible. Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

B Nahant Woman and Winthrop Man Sentenced for Fraud and Tax Evasion U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce, District of Massachusetts OSTON — A Nahant woman and Winthrop man were sentenced in federal court in Boston for conspiring to commit wire fraud and tax evasion. Gary P. DeCicco, 65, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns to 15 months in prison, which he has already served, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Pamela M. Avedisian, 61, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns to one year of supervised release, with the fi rst four months to be served in home confinement. DeCicco and Avedisian were ordered to pay $425,754 in restitution and to forfeit $650,000. In June 2024, DeCicco and Avedisian pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. DeCicco and Avedisian were indicted by a federal grand jury in January 2018. Between April 2012 and February 2013, DeCicco repeatedly told the IRS that he did not have the ability to pay his over $340,000 tax liabiliTAX EVASION | SEE Page 8 ing following a 9-1-1 call reporting smoke in the building. On arrival, they heard smoke alarms sounding and observed smoke showing from the front right of the third fl oor. Firefi ghters immediately made entry into the six-family dwelling and found fi re in a third-fl oor apartment. They located one occupant, a man in his 40s who was unresponsive, and removed him from the building. Firefi ghters contained the fi re to the room of origin and brought it under control within an hour. Firefighters undertook lifesaving eff orts at the scene and Atlantic EMS continued to treat the man as they transported him to Salem Hospital. He was later transported to Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, where he passed away yesterday afternoon. “As sad as this incident is, working smoke alarms alerted other residents to the danger and may have prevented an even greater tragedy,” said Chief Sullivan. “Several residents are displaced due to smoke and water damage, but no other injuries were reported.” There have been 40 residential fi re deaths in Massachusetts this year, State Fire Marshal Davine said. Investigators determined that smoke alarms were present and operated in just 14 of these cases; they were either not present, not working, or their performance could not be determined in the remainder. “Working smoke alarms on every level of your home are among the most eff ective tools for preventing injury or worse in a fi re,” State Fire Marshal Davine said. The origin and cause of Saturday’s fi re are under investigation by the Lynn Fire Department, Lynn Police Department, State Police fi re investigators assigned to the State Fire Marshal’s offi ce, and State Police assigned to the Essex County District Attorney’s offi ce. The Swampscott Fire Department provided mutual aid.

That means you don’t have to fumble around with your phone to find Bluetooth settings, choose the device you want to pair, enter the key or code and so on. Other NFC technologies enable Wi-Fi between two devices so they can “talk” back and forth. The big benefi t here is that Wi-Fi direct has much greater bandwidth, so big fi les transfer faster. What smartphones come with NFC? New handheld devices become available all the time, so the compatible device list is constantly changing. NFC World maintains an exhaustive list of phones and tablets both available now and coming soon. But for most people, their mobile device is already capable. Android devices running 4.0 or later come with the ability to use NFCs for fi nancial transactions. Phones with Android 4.4 or later allow users to exchange fi les and messages via NFC. The iPhone was a little later to jump on the bandwagon; however, if you have an iPhone 6 or later, it supports NFCs. Are they just for financial transactions? The possibilities and uses for NFCs are, for the most part, just limited by the imagination. Here are just a few things people can do with them already: TAX EVASION | FROM Page 6 ty and that he had very little cash, no vehicles or real property and no ownership interest in any asset with a posi• Open car doors • Share contact information • Share any link you program it to have • Make wireless payments using smartphones and tablets • Create an automatic WiFi/Bluetooth pairing between phone and vehicle for hands-free driving • Pay for and receive access to public parking and transportation • Send photos or video between digital cameras, cell phones and media players • Allow shoppers to receive and redeem coupons • Prevent hard sleepers from turning off their alarm until they’re actually awake • Enable healthcare workers to monitor medications and track physical symptoms • Create interactive toys and games Simplified connectivity is great, and being able to exchange funds without having to dig into our wallets was becoming popular even before social distancing was a thing. Now it’s even more helpful because it means we don’t have to touch cash or transaction terminals. But every time a technology is widely adopted, hackers start focusing on how they can exploit it for unfair gain. NFCs and cybersecurity Convenience is great, but if you’re like most people, you might recognize that when data is just floating around there’s a security risk, especially when technology is linked tive value. However, DeCicco had ownership interests in several businesses, vehicles and real properties titled in his name and the names of Avedisian and others, in Public Note The Metro North regional Employment Board, Inc., d/b/a MassHire Metro North Workforce Board (MNWB), is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) designed to solicit proposals from organizations interested in leasing 5,000 MBTA Rapid Transit service: Cambridge, Malden, Medford, Revere, and Somerville. The RFP and related documents can be accessed on the MNWB website: https://masshiremetronorth.org/. Proposals are due by January 20, 2024. to your credit card or bank account. So how risky is NFC technology? The good thing is, if you’re bumping your phone with a friend’s to share music or checking out with a trusted vendor, the security risk is fairly low because of the proximity requirement. Devices must be four centimeters or less apart, and during the split seconds the data transfer actually takes to occur, it would be hard for a hacker to get in there without you noticing. It takes more than just a bump for a transaction to occur; both sending and receiving devices must be ready to accept the data transfer. It would be diffi cult for a hacker to brush against you in a crowd and wirelessly withdraw from your bank account. You’re not likely to collide with a stranger in the grocery store and accidentally send their phone all your personal information. But that doesn’t mean NFCs are without risk. One problem happens when people lose their phones or have their devices stolen. If a thief can unlock your device, or if you don’t secure it with a strong password, there’s nothing to stop a thief from waving it over a payment terminal or ATM to get your money. NFC tags are also vulnerable to tampering. For example, users have tapped smart tags thinking they were about to access movie trailers or visit a vendor website but instead had their personal information sent to a bad actor. order to conceal those assets from the IRS during that time period. In addition, beginning in March 2013, after the IRS accepted DeCicco’s proposed monthly payment plan (based on the false information DeCicco provided about his assets and income) and instead of making the agreed-upon monthly payments, DeCicco bought and sold numerous real properties, boats and high-end cars and concealed those assets and his income from the IRS, often with Avedisian’s assistance. In addition, Avedisian owned a property in Nahant that was subject to a mortgage in excess of $1 million. In October 2015, DeCicco and Avedisian conspired to General NFC security tips • Turn NFC off when not in use: Disable NFC on your device when you’re not using it to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or accidental connections. • Be mindful of proximity: NFC only works within a short range, but attackers could use specialized tools to attempt to intercept data. Be cautious when using NFC in crowded or untrusted areas. • Use secure apps and devices: Only use trusted apps for NFC payments or fi le sharing. Ensure your device has updated security features and fi rmware. • Enable device authentication: Use a PIN, pattern or biometric lock on your device to prevent unauthorized use of NFC. • Monitor permissions: Regularly check the permissions granted to apps that use NFC to ensure they only have access to necessary features. • Avoid connecting to unknown devices: Do not pair with or transfer fi les to unknown NFC-enabled devices or tags without verifying their source. • Encrypt sensitive data: If you’re using NFC for payments or sharing sensitive information, ensure the data is encrypted and transmitted over a secure channel. NFC payment tips • Verify payment apps: Use defraud the mortgage holder by proposing the sale of the property for signifi cantly less than the outstanding mortgage, in what is commonly referred to as a “short sale.” By their very nature, short sales are intended to be arms-length transactions in which the buyers and sellers are unrelated and act independently, allowing sellers to cede their ownership of the property in exchange for the short-selling bank’s agreement to release them from their unpaid mortgage debt. In order to get approval for the sale, DeCicco and Avedisian concealed their longterm romantic and business relationship from the loan servicing company and falsely represented that Avedisian payment apps from trusted providers and download them only from offi cial app stores. • Check the terminal: Inspect payment terminals for tampering or unusual devices before tapping your phone or card. • Enable notifi cations: Set up notifi cations for NFC transactions so you’re immediately aware of any unauthorized charges. • Use one-time tokens: Where possible, opt for payment methods that generate onetime-use tokens for added security. NFC tags tips • Inspect before scanning: Avoid scanning unknown or suspicious NFC tags in public areas, as they might contain malicious code or links. • Use a trusted NFC reader app: Use apps from reputable sources to read NFC tags, and review the permissions these apps require. • Program tags securely: If programming NFC tags yourself, ensure they are confi gured with strong security measures to prevent tampering.

She came back to get fi rst vs. Everett and second vs. Medford in the 1,000-meter and also was the third leg of the fi rst-place 4x4 team in both meets. • Senior captain Francoise Kodjo took fi rst in the shotput vs. both Everett and Medford.

She also tied her PR in the high jump with a jump of 4-10, good enough for 10th place overall. “She looked great in the 600-meter, but it was a packed race, and she got boxed in on the second lap,” Revere coach Racquel Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “I’m confi dent she would’ve been closer to 1:44 if that hadn’t happened.” • Rupp ran a 5:58.16 in the mile, good for 17th overall. “It’s great to see her staying consistently below that sixminute mark this whole season,” Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “She has a lot of time before her next race so we will make sure to get in some hard workouts to get closer to 5:40.” • Cabrera Rodriguez also ran the 55-meter and ran an 8.25.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2025 Page 19 ~ TORNADO CLASSIC TOURNAMENT IN MALDEN ~ Revere splits at holiday tournament, tops Malden for first win, 63-56 Day (26 pts) leads Patriots, Fernandes (16 points, 12 rebounds) shines for Tornados By Steve Freker N o one ever leaves this matchup without a few scratches and bruises. Think Bears-Lions in the NFL or Boston-Montreal on the ice. Malden High and Revere High “get after it” on the basketball court. Always have, always will. That’s just how it goes and that’s how it will stay. Saturday night’s consolation game in the 2024 Tornado Classic Tournament was no diff erent, but Revere had a few more layups go down and a few less turnovers at the end. Bottom line: Head Coach Dave Leary’s Patriots were able to fi nish with their fi rst win of the season Saturday, 63-56, over host Malden. Senior Ethan Day led all scorers with 26 points. Malden is still seeking that fi rst “W” after Saturday’s setback, falling to 0-6 overall to start the season. The Tornado squad also lost its fi rst-round game, a one-sided fall to eventual tourney champion Stoughton. East Boston (2-2) took out Revere, 53-41, in Game One on Friday night at the Finn Gym, but Revere captain Joshua Mercado (0) is defending against Malden junior Colin Okoth (11). Malden junior Ryan McMahon (2) drives on Revere senior Avi Lung (4). dropped a close one to Stoughton (5-0) in the tournament championship game on Saturday night, 54-48. Stoughton’s Anthony Alessi, who scored 15 points in the championship game, was named Tournament Most Valuable Player. Selected for the All-Tournament Team were: Revere senior Ethan Day, East Boston senior Robin Cartagena, Stoughton senior Matt Greenspoon and Malden junior Kaua Fernandes Dias Valadares, who had 16 points and 14 rebounds for the Tornados. In the Revere-Malden game, the Tornados trailed by four points after the first quarter, 15-11, and Revere took a seven-point lead into the halftime break, 28-21. Revere co-captains Avi Lung and Josh Mercado both played well on both ends of the court for the Patriots as did sophomore Nico Cespedes. Malden got good minutes out of junior guards Ryan McMahon and De’Shawn Bunch, as well as junior forward Colin Okoth, who hit a pair of three and fi nished with a seasonhigh 11 points. *** Malden High’s De’Shawn Bunch (3) looks for an open man against Revere.

Revere is back to work tonight on the road at Chelsea High to take on the Red Devils at 6:00. Next week Revere plays rare back-to-back nights — both on the road — at Chelmsford for a non-league matchup on Thursday, January 9 and then stays on the road at Somerville on Friday, January 10 at 7:00 p.m...

Malden junior Ryan McMahon (2) is covered by Revere senior Jayden Balogun (2). (Advocate Photos by Henry Huang) It does count in the overall standings/MIAA Power Rankings... Due to the new-this-season GBL realignment, Malden-Revere meet just once this winter in GBL play: on Saturday, January 25 at 1:00 p.m. in Malden. It will be part of a tripleheader: Freshmen at 10:00 a.m., JV at 11:30 a.m., then Varsity at 1:00. Malden junior Kaua Fernandes Dias Valadares (21) looks to move on Revere senior Gio Alexandre (10).

Page 20 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2025 OBITUARIES Frank Michael Vecchia Peter V. DiGiulio I O f Revere. Passed away on December 24, 2024, at the age of 96. Beloved Husband of the late Rose M. Vecchia (Puopolo) with whom he shared 68 years of marriage. Devoted father of Joanne Connors and her husband Michael of Tewksbury, Frank Vecchia III and his wife Johanna of Woburn and the late Janet Spano and her surviving husband Joseph of North Reading. Cherished grandfather of Christopher Spano and his wife Nadia, Jeffrey Spano and his wife Janelle, Courtney Connors and Fiancé Jack Whelton, Cameron, and Caden Connors, Jillian and Andrew Vecchia and greatgrandfather of Rosalie and Mariana Spano. Dear Brother of the late Eugene Vecchia, Walter Vecchia, and Edward Vecchia. Frank is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, was the highlight of Frank’s life. He served in the United States Navy on the U.S.S Requin submarine. After his service he went on to work at MIT Lincoln Laboratory for 43 years. A visitation was held from the Paul Buonfi glio & Sons ~ Bruno Funeral Home, Revere, on Monday, December 30 followed by a Funeral Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church, Revere. Interment in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett. At the family’s request, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Frank’s memory to the American Heart Association at www.heart. org For guestbook, please visit www.buonfi glio.com O f Revere. It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the sudden, yet peaceful passing of Peter Vincent DiGiulio, who departed on December 21, at the age of 72. Pete was a graduate of Dom Savio High School (‘69), and Boston College (‘73). An elementary school teacher and coach in the city of Revere for 43 years, Mr. D made an immense impact on everyone’s life that he touched during his time as an educator. He couldn’t go anywhere in the city without stopping to have a conversation with a former student, colleague, or friend. The diff erence between a “great” and a “legend” is the ability to inspire generations to come. Pete was a legend. His love, kindness, and extreme generosity will leave a long-lasting impression. He dedicated his life to the lights of it, his children, Benjamin Peter and Emily Alice, whom he loved and supported with every ounce of his being. Peter is also survived by his ex-wife, Debra DiGiulio; his sister, Susan (DiGiulio) Cronin; his brother, Vincent DiGiulio; his favorite daughter-in-law Kendyl (Klein) DiGiulio; and his nieces and nephew, Amy (Davis) and Erin (Tucker) Cronin, Olivia DiGiulio, Grace Magno, Julie (Peczka) Thurston, Jennifer (Peczka) McFarland, and Zach Peczka. He was preceded in death by his parents, Peter N. DiGiulio and Gloria Maddalena. Visitation was held Sunday, December 29 followed by a Prayer Service at the Buonfi glio’s Funeral Home in Revere, MA. SPOUSE ELECTING AGAINST THE WILL n order to help off set the freedom that each spouse has to execute his or her own Will thereby leaving his or her property to anyone he or she wishes, a Massachusetts statute is on the books which gives the surviving spouse an absolute right to set aside or “waive” the decedent spouse’s Will and claim a share of the deceased spouse’s probate estate. This is set forth in Mass General Laws Chapter 191, Section 15. This is a fundamental and important right for the surviving spouse. Consequently, a married individual who is about to execute a Will should have this fact clearly in mind during the initial planning process. Electing against the Will and claiming the statutory share may be made without notice and as a matter of personal privilege. In order to do so, a written waiver and claim form must be fi led with the Probate Court within six months of the probate of the Will. The law is very strict in requiring the waiver and claim to be made within the specifi ed time period if it is to be eff ective. The claim may be made prior to the probate of the Will. It must be made prior to the death of the surviving spouse because due to its personal nature, it cannot be made by the executor or administrator of a deceased widow or widower. Once made, the claim cannot be withdrawn and must be absolute. No conditions may be attached to it. It is an all or nothing proposition. The right to make the waiver and claim the statutory share will be lost if the surviving spouse accepts any of the benefi ts under the Will. The surviving spouse can, however, waive the Will and claim a statutory share and yet still serve as Executor of the Will. If, for example, the husband dies leaving children and a wife, even if the husband leaves nothing to his wife pursuant to the terms of his Will, his wife would be able to elect against the Will and claim one third of the estate. If the estate exceeds $25,000, then his wife would receive $8,333 outright and would have the benefi t of a life estate in the entire estate above and beyond $25,000 (for example, right to receive income for life from the probate assets that generate investment income). If the husband dies leaving no children but does leave a wife and kindred (blood relationship based upon the law of consanguinity), his wife would be able to claim the fi rst $25,000 plus a life estate in one half of the remaining property. If the husband dies leaving no children and no kindred, his wife would be able to claim the fi rst $25,000 plus one half of the remaining property outright. Prior to 1994, a spouse’s statutory share under MGL chapter 191, Section 15 applied only to the decedent’s “probate” estate. However, in Sullivan v. Burkin, a 1994 Massachusetts Supreme Court Case, the court announced that it would no longer follow the rule in a previous 1945 Massachusetts case, Kerwin v. Donaghy, which denied a surviving spouse any claim against the assets held in a living trust created by the deceased spouse. Therefore, for any living trusts created after January 23, 1984, the Supreme Court takes the position that the surviving spouse’s right to elect against the Will and claim his or her statutory share shall include the right to make a claim against assets held in a living trust created by the deceased spouse wherein the deceased spouse alone retained the right during his or her lifetime to direct the disposition of the trust assets for his or her benefi t. The Supreme Court did not clarify whether or not the surviving spouse’s right to claim against assets held in such a living trust would apply to trusts created prior to the date of marriage. The surviving spouse must compare very carefully his or her statutory rights in the “probate” estate (as expanded in the rule set forth in Sullivan v. Burkin) with the testamentary provisions as set forth in the decedent spouse’s Will, and then make a choice whether or not to waive the Will and claim the statutory share. The complexity of making this analysis should not be underestimated. This is an often-overlooked area of the law that allows a surviving spouse left out of a deceased spouse’s Will to seek relief under this statutory provision. Joseph D.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2025 Page 21 SPORTS | FROM Page 1 The Golden Tornadoes called timeout to settle things down, which they did. The rest of the quarter went back and forth with a Malden basket and then a Day basket. The Revere senior tri-captain made four baskets and a 3-pointer in the frame and Revere led 22-14 to close the fi rst quarter. The Revere defense improved in the second quarter and after a Lung steal and basket and a great fastbreak bounce pass from Day to a streaking freshman Charles Dobre (four points, four rebounds) for the layup. The rest of the period belonged to Day, who made three strong drives to the basket, sank three free throws and hit a wing 3-pointer to push the Patriots lead to 38-25 at halftime. Malden, however, would not back down. It extended its defense and got hot behind the 3-point line. The Golden Tornadoes started the third quarter on a big run, cutting the Revere lead to just four points at 40-36. Coach David Leary called a timeout to refocus his Patriots squad, and it may have, he said, but again the story was Day as he scored the last nine points of the frame, giving Revere the 49-37 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Patriots defense was holding Malden down pretty well until the fi nal frame, but the hosts again got hot and would not go away. Revere allowed 19 points. Malden hit fi ve 3-pointers. But in the end Lung, Dobre, junior forward Devin Berry and Day made baskets to help the Patriots hang on to a 63-56 victory. In the prior game — the tourney’s opening round — Revere traveled to Malden High School to take on East Boston. The fi rst quarter was back and forth, but the Patriots were led by their senior tri-captains from the beginning. Lung (11 points, three steals) drained back-to-back 3-pointers, Senior guard Josh Mercado made a corner three of his own, and Day had two tough drives to the basket. But East Boston had an answer for each basket and took a 16-13 lead to end the fi rst quarter. Revere would respond to start the second quarter with another Lung triple, another Day drive to the basket and a set of free throws pushing the Patriots into a slight lead. Eastie would respond going on a big run to end the frame and give the Jets a 34-26 lead at halftime. Revere was determined to tighten things up defensively in the second half after halftime. Day (22 points, seven rebounds) found the hot hand making two 3-pointers and a fl oater in the lane. East Boston was held scoreless for almost five minutes. And after junior forward Zaney Kayembe made two foul shots for the Patriots, the game was tied at 36-36 before the Jets answered with a 5-0 run to end the third quarter, allowing them to continue the lead at 4136 heading to the fi nal quarter. “Here is where Eastie controlled the rest of the game,” Leary said. “Between the Jets tough zone defense and our cold shooting, the Jets were able to extend their lead.” Day had a couple of free throws, and junior guard Isaiah Llanos stuck a 3-pointer from the corner, but that’s all Revere could put on the board to close the game, giving East Boston victory. Before the East Boston tourney, Revere fell to Lynn English, 82-48. Day had 23 points for the Patriots in the loss. The Patriots will head down Broadway to Chelsea to take on the Red Devils of Chelsea High Friday night at 6 p.m., and then will face the Rams of Lynn Classical Sunday at Salem State University 11 a.m. 855-GO-4-GLAS ~ Help Wanted ~ Event Coordinator.
