THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 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 , but wish to donate, the 30th 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 Election Commissioner Thanks All in Letter of Support D ear Editor: It’s with mixed emotions that I write this letter. I will be leaving my position as Election Commissioner for the City of Revere on Friday, January 24, 2025 to begin a new challenge with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I didn’t want to leave Revere City Hall after three years (and a dozen successful elections) without sharing my appreciation to so many people who made elections in Revere run so well: — The Election Department staff , which is second to none in the Commonwealth; — Our nearly 200 poll workers, who are on the front lines at every election; — The Board of Election Commissioners — Elizabeth Dixon, John Cammarata, and Steve Reardon — for their unending support and assistance with this important work; — Mayor Patrick Keefe and his staff , who have always supported the need for free, fair, and honest elections in Revere; — The Revere City Council, which has never denied a request to ensure the integrity of the ballot box; — Numerous City Hall departments heads, including City Clerk Ashley Melnik, CFO Rich Viscay, IT Director George Pazos, 3-1-1 Director Nick Romano, Solicitor Paul Capizzi, Health Director Lauren Buck, Purchasing Agent Michael Piccardi, and their staff s; — Police Chief Dave Callahan, Executive Officer Sean Randall, and the many RPD offi cers who keep our polling places safe; — DPW Superintendent Chris Ciaramella and his team, especially Steve Penta, Eddy Volcimus, and Mike Cecere and the DPW “Elections” team; — School Superintendent Dianne Kelley, the Revere School Committee, and especially Facilities Director Carl Svendsen and the school custodians; — Revere TV Director Bob Dunbar, for his commitment to providing timely and accurate information to the residents of Revere; — The leadership at the American Legion Post 61, Carl Hyman Towers, Point of Pines Yacht Club, and Jack Satter House, for providing accessible and well-maintained polling locations for Revere voters. I have probably missed some people, and I apologize in advance and thank all who helped to make Revere elections so successful in the past; I am sure they will do so in the future. This has never been as important as it is now. Misinformation and disinformation about the electoral process have been endemic in recent years. It’s almost entirely inaccurate and deceitful by those who perpetrate the lies and falsehoods. Don’t let it mislead or deceive you. Most of all, I want to thank the people of Revere for their support and encouragement over the past few years. With few exceptions, I have felt welcomed as someone new to the City. Now that I also live here, I look forward to strengthening those relationships. Wishing you all the best in 2025 and beyond.
