THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2025 Page 5 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ Fundraiser for Kennel Owner at Beachmont VFW January 30 D ear Editor, On Thursday, January 30th at 6:00 p.m. at the Beachmont VFW, we are hosting a fundraiser for Lisa Cutting, owner of Ocean View kennel and Pet Resort. Lisa is a longtime quasi-public servant for the city of Revere, whom I had the privilege of working with as Mayor, along with Chief Cafarelli during that time. For decades, she has taken care of our pets and animals who may have been lost, injured, abused, or abandoned. Whenever the city calls upon her, she is there. Now, unfortunately, it is her that has fallen on hard times. Our goal is to raise money to help with accumulating medical bills and expenses as she faces some major challenges, both personally and professionally. If at all possible, we would love your attendance and assistance in helping to get people to our event and to help support the cause by spreading the word. Tickets are $25 but any and all donations are appreciated. If you cannot make it on the 30th, but wish to donate, please feel free to send a contribution of your choosing, with checks payable to “Lisa Cutting”. Checks can be mailed to me at: Dan Rizzo 35 Roland Rd. Revere, MA 02151 Please help us in helping someone who has cared for our pets and animals for decades. I know how much it will mean to her. Signed, Dan Rizzo RevereTV Spotlight N ow playing on RevereTV, check out the Revere High School Girls and Boys Basketball Teams! RevereTV will be covering one game per week for either team.

In the first of many PSAs from the “In the Loop” series this year — the Mobile City Hall program has been revitalized, which brings accessible city services directly to Revere neighborhoods.

The second PSA this week is a message from the Revere Department of Public Health. In recent months, national news has been reporting on the avian fl u, which is also known as H5N1. While the risk to the public remains low, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring the situation and working with states to track individuals who have been exposed to animals infected with the flu. This flu is common in wild birds and has led to outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy farms. Revere’s Urban Agriculture Ordinance allows residents to have small backyard flocks of chickens with an up-todate license from the Board of Health. If you have chickens, please take precautions to reduce the risk of spreading the fl u from wild birds. For more information or to report backyard chickens in your neighborhood, contact the Board of Health at 781-485-8486. The fi rst Revere City Council Meeting of 2025 was this past Monday evening! Councillors got to experience a newly updated setup in the Council Chambers and RevereTV is now working with the City’s new equipment. Meetings will now continue as usual and you can watch them all live and replaying on RTV GOV.
