By Tara Vocino W ith the arrival of spring comes the arrival of the Fiesta Shows Spring Carnival to Revere. “This carnival is one of the longest pieces of Americana left,” General Manager Christopher Chagros said Wednesday on-site. “It’s good times at a reasonable price, and we come to you.” During the three and a half weeks of the show, Chagros said, Revere residents are some of the most loyal patrons, bringing out 3,000 guests to the Showcase Cinemas parking lot last year. “They really come out strong,” Chagros said. “It may be cold at night, but they’ve been cooped up all winter.” Organized by 75 employees, the carnival will feature 26 rides, a dozen games and six food stands. The crowd’s favorite ride is the Freak Out, which is a pendulum that swings back and forth. A favorite game is the balloon bust, where guests throw darts in order to squirt water, he said. And Italian sausage is the crowd’s favorite pick for FIESTA | SEE PAGE 5 $2.57 GALLON Regular Unleaded $2.399 Mid Unleaded $2.639 Super $2.699 Diesel Fuel $2.879 KERO $4.759 Diesel $2.699 ANGELO’S "Over 40 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2019 FULL SERVE HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

By Tara Vocino T he Steering Committee and Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) recently presented a summary review of the city’s next Master Plan based on feedback that was received during the January Kick-Off meeting. The Kick-Off was held on Jan. 15 at Rumney Marsh Academy, where approximately 225 residents came out and voiced their opinions on how to improve the city. A Next Stop Revere community forum will be held on April 10 from 6 to 8 p.m., at Revere High School to address housing, economic development, historic/cultural resources and land use. Another forum on May 8 or May 9 will address transportation/mobility, open space and recreation, sustainability and public health. A fi - nal plan will be presented to the Planning Board in the winter of 2020. “People want to see commitment and people to follow through,” Beachmont Improvement Committee Member Edward Deveau said. School Committee Vice Chairman Carol Tye said she is disappointed, because she saw that one to two people went to every board and wrote negative comments, but she didn’t see them as representing the city. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Wendy Millar Page said there was a sense of excitement. “People want to give their input,” Millar Page said. “Don’t lose that momentum.” MAPC Chief of Economic Development Betsy Cowan said it was helpful to see the concerns that came up. Traffi c, aff ordable housing, and “No more housing” topped the list. “I would have thought that traffi c would have been number one, but aff ordable housing is the biggest issue because of growth,” Deveau said. Tye suggested that affordable housing and traffi c could be viewed as the same topic. Citing the fatality that occurred last Christmas, Deveau added that street lighting and dark roadways are problem areas. Dean Harris of the Revere Housing Authority suggested that at the April forum they need to address good paying jobs and workforce development so that residents can afford to live in Revere. Conversation Commission Member David Eatough said Metropolitan Area Planning Council Chief of Economic Development Betsy Cowan had Steering Committee members weigh in on residents’ concerns at City Hall on Tuesday afternoon. (Advocate Photos by Tara Vocino) they need to ask more in-depth questions about concerns residents have regarding racism, and Kimberly Hanlon of North Suff olk Mental Health said residents wrote that drugs are a concern.

During the warm weather, the Committee cleans up on a regular basis, according to Heiser. Heiser said she identifi es Committee members as the “Clean Street Sweep Fleet.” “We’re neighbors working together for a cleaner, friendlier, better Beachmont,” Heiser said.

Tye suggested having a presentation of what should be trash out the window driving by. “People should take pride in this neighborhood,” Wilson said. BIC member Carol Tye collected bottles to take home to recycle. “We should all try to be environmentally friendly,” Tye said. “It not only keeps the neighborhood clean, but it means so much for civic pride.” Tye went on to say that she hopes others built in Revere so that people can base their input on what’s to come. “I think that’s one of the best suggestions that we’d heard today,” Department of Public Works Superintendent Paul Argenzio said. Cowan said the data shows will do the same. BIC member Nancy Dowd found nips, paper, cans, Dunkin’ Donuts cups, and cardboard. “I get tired of looking at trash,” Dowd said, “so I want to clean it up and have the city look pretty.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. that residents don’t have many options for recreation and they asked for a YMCA, or similar space.

An Act to support improved fi - nancial stability in higher education would require any institution facing fi nancial challenges that might jeopardize the institution’s ability to fulfi ll its obligations to current and admitted students to notify the Board of Higher Education, and submit to the Board for approval a contingency plan that includes provisions for providing advance notice to students and staff as well as arrangements for students to complete their studies. “Massachusetts is home to an impressive collection of public and private colleges and universities that provide great educations, while also serving as major employers and drivers of business across the Commonwealth,” said Baker. “Our legislation will strengthen this crucial component of our economy, but most importantly it will help protect students and families from an abrupt closure that could signifi cantly impact their lives.” “This legislation would ensure transparency and protection for both students and families,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “For those institutions at high risk of closure, we want to ensure sufficient notice to students and staff to make other arrangements so they can complete their programs of study with as little disruption as possible.” A handful of recent college closures in New England highlights the need for improved financial reporting from colleges and universities, in particular the sudden closure of Mt. Ida College in Newton last year that surprised students and staff . The legislation provides that the Board of Higher Education may request information from any institution of higher education to determine fi nancial condition. Under the legislation, the Board may also impose reasonable sanctions on any institution that does not comply with notifi cation requirements and requests. Information submitted by institutions of higher education would be exempt from the public records law, under this legislation. “We want to make sure that the Board and the Department of Higher Education are capable of being a more proactive participant in ensuring transparency and fairness for students and families, without creating expansive new powers that would be overly burdensome to colleges,” said Massachusetts Secretary of Education James Peyser. The legislation will enable the Board of Higher Education to develop regulations specifying the process by which it will exercise its oversight authority. “These statutory and regulatory proposals have one goal, which is to be accountable to those students and families who have made signifi cant investments in post-secondary education,” said Massachusetts Commissioner of Higher Education Carlos Santiago. “At the same time, we are working closely with institutions to make sure that they are part of the decision-making process as we move forward.” “Our aim should be to maintain confidence among students, families and communities in the many fi ne and important private colleges in Massachusetts while ensuring that any imminent risk is managed thoughtfully and appropriately,” said Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Board Chairman Chris Gabrieli. “As part of that, the Department of Higher Education needs to be able to work confi dentially with colleges to understand their fi nancial status and plans as well as to have the tools to address the hopefully rare situations where the focus needs to shift to informing students and ensuring solid transition plans.” On March 7 the Senate and House referred the bill to the Joint Committee on Higher Education. Latest Seasonally Unadjusted Unemployment and Job Estimates for Local Labor Markets in Massachusetts BOSTON - Local unemployment rates increased in twenty-four labor market areas in the state during the month of January, the Executive Offi ce of Labor and Workforce Development reported. Compared to January 2018, the rates dropped in twentyfour labor market areas. All fi fteen areas for which job estimates are published recorded seasonal job losses in January. The largest loss occurred in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton area followed by the Springfi eld, Worcester, Barnstable, Brockton-Bridgewater-Easton, and Framingham areas. From January 2018 to Janadvocatenewspaperma uary 2019, eleven of the fi fteen areas added jobs, with the largest percentage gains in the Leominster-Gardner, New Bedford, Barnstable, and Springfi eld areas. The Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, LynnSaugus-Marblehead, Pittsfi eld, and Framingham areas lost jobs. In order to compare the statewide rate to local unemployment rates, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the statewide-unadjusted unemployment rate for January was 3.6 percent. Last week, the Executive Offi ce of Labor and Workforce Development reported the statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the month of January remained at 3.1 percent. The statewide seasonally adjusted jobs estimate showed an 11,400 job gain in January and an over-the-year gain of 27,200 jobs. The unadjusted unemployment rates and job estimates for the labor market areas reflect seasonal fluctuations and therefore may show different levels and trends than the statewide seasonally adjusted estimates. The estimates for labor force, unemployment rates and jobs for Massachusetts are based on diff erent statistical methodology specifi ed by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Estimates for towns with 2010 Census population of less than 1,000 were produced using the BLS methodology, but are not offi cial BLS estimates. NOTES: The preliminary February 2019 and the revised January 2019 unemployment rates, labor force data and jobs estimates for Massachusetts will be released on Friday, March 22, 2019; local unemployment statistics will be released on Tuesday, March 26, 2019. Detailed labor market information is available at www. mass.gov/lmi. See the 2019 Media Advisory for a complete list of release dates.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, March 22, 2019 Page 13 Baker-Polito Administration, AAA Northeast and MADD highlight importance of improving road safety G ov. Charlie Baker, Registrar of Motor Vehicles Erin Deveney and MassDOT Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver were recently joined by AAA Northeast President/ CEO John Galvin and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Program Director Mary Kate DePamphilis to highlight the importance of the Baker-Polito Administration’s proposed road safety legislation (filed on January 24, 2019), An Act relative to improving safety on the roads of the Commonwealth. “Ensuring the safety of travelers throughout Massachusetts is very important, and we are proud to have the support of stakeholders like AAA and MADD on this commonsense legislation,” said Baker. “Our roadway safety legislation targets several areas which will have a real impact on improving safety for the traveling public, including imposing greater sanctions for operating under the infl uence and establishing requirements for newly emerging transportation options.” “Our bill will help reduce distracted driving on the Commonwealth’s roadways and give law enforcement new tools to better protect travelers,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “We are grateful for the support of AAA and MADD, and look forward to working with the Legislature to pass this bill.” The proposals to increase road safety being made by the Baker-Polito Administration stem, in part, from discussions with members of the Massachusetts Legislature, strategies outlined in the 2018 Massachusetts Strategic Highway Safety Plan and input from key stakeholders, such as the Massachusetts Vision Zero Coalition and various law enforcement professionals. “The Baker-Polito Administration is submitting legislation in order to further the public discourse about steps which can be taken to improve public safety,” said Deveney. “In particular, the Administration believes that regulations insisting on hands-free driving and the expanded use of interlock devices will go far in saving lives and preventing injuries.” “Specifi c actions can be taken with new regulations which will save lives on our roadways,” said Gulliver. “Without question, mandatory speed limits in work zones, truck guards and additional mirrors on certain classifications of trucks will protect members of the public who are at work, driving, walking or cycling.” “We are extremely gratifi ed to see that Gov. Baker is making traffi c safety a priority for this administration,” said Galvin. “For many years, our mission at AAA Northeast has been to make our roadways safer for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and those who work at the roadside.” “MADD is so thankful for Governor Baker’s proposed legislation,” said DePamphilis. “Governor Baker understands what it takes to save real lives on the roadways of the Commonwealth and we appreciate that. Ignition interlocks for fi rst-time off enders could save many family’s lives, since we know up to 75% of off enders drive on a suspended license. I look forward to working with our partners to help get the governor’s road safety bill passed and increase traffi c safety in Massachusetts.” An Act relative to improving safety on the roads of the Commonwealth includes proposals on the following topics: Hands-free: requires electronic devices to be used in “hands-free” mode and would not allow anyone operating a motor vehicle to touch or hold a mobile electronic device, “except to perform a single tap or swipe to activate, deactivate, or initiate hands-free mode.” The bill would permit talking, texting and other tasks to be completed by voice commands and would allow law enforcement offi cers to better enforce distraction laws. Primary seatbelt: permits law enforcement to stop motorists for not wearing seatbelts. Work zone safety: allows the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to establish mandatory temporary lower speed limits in construction zones that would double fines when workers are present. Currently, lower speed limits in construction zones are only suggestions, and law enforcement cannot enforce them. Side guards and additional mirrors: requires all municipal contractors and Commonwealth-owned and operated vehicles over 10,000 pounds to have side guards, convex mirrors, and crossover mirrors after Jan. 1, 2020. Certain vehicle classifi cations would be exempt, and the law grants the authority to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to grant additional exemptions, in keeping with U.S. DOT standards. Ignition interlock, hardship licenses: requires the use of ignition interlock devices for fi rst off enders who apply for hardship licenses, requiring an interlock device for a minimum of six months as a condition of obtaining a hardship license. Ignition interlock, penalties for violating terms of interlock program: Clarifi es the ability of the Registry to penalize those who attempt to drive after drinking alcohol (even with an interlock device) or who tamper with an interlock device. New technology: treats certain new technology items the same as bicycles – according to existing Massachusetts General Laws. (Electric scooters and other low-speed mobility devices, such as electric bicycles, currently lack a specifi c vehicle classifi cation.) For example, low-speed mobility operators, like bicyclists, would need to wear a helmet if under the age of 16, would be required to yield to people walking and provide an audible signal when passing and could not block vehicular or pedestrian traffi c when parked. In addition, the law would require MassDOT to establish a micro-mobility advisory working group to propose future changes for safe adoption of emerging and undefi ned low-speed mobility devices. Between 2012 and 2016, 15,662 people were seriously injured and 1,820 people lost their lives on the roadways of the Commonwealth. In addition, 14 road workers were killed between 2009 and 2016. To protect those working, the legislation would allow MassDOT to set up temporary mandatory speed limits in construction zones. To protect people walking, bicycling and using motorcycles on Massachusetts roadways, the legislation would require stateowned heavy trucks and state and municipally–contracted vehicles to be equipped with convex and cross-over mirrors and require the installation of side guards between the front and rear wheels of these vehicles to protect people from being caught under a truck and run over by its rear wheels. The bill expands eff orts to limit distracted driving by having Massachusetts join 16 other states, including all of our neighboring New England states, in requiring hands-free use of electronic devices while driving. In addition, law enforcement would be able to stop motorists who are not wearing seatbelts under this legislation. The proposal corrects inconsistencies in the law for those convicted of Operating Under the Infl uence (OUI) by requiring fi rst-time off enders who apply for hardship licenses to be placed into the ignition interlock program and clarifying the ability of the Registry of Motor Vehicles to penalize those who attempt to drive after consuming alcohol, even with an ignition interlock device. Emerging micro-mobility technologies like electric scooters and increased use of electric bicycles present both opportunities as a compliment to current means of transportation and challenges as an industry without any existing statutory framework. As a fi rst step, the administration proposes treating electric scooters and pedal-assisted electric bicycles the same way bicycles are treated under state law and establishing a multiparty advisory group to recommend more permanent policies. On January 28 the Legislature referred the bill to the Joint Committee on Transportation.

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, March 22, 2019 Save the Harbor/Save the Bay Splashes in the Snow to Support Public Beaches O n March 10, over 200 beach lovers braved not only the chilly winter waters but also snowy weather and plunged into Boston Harbor at the BCYF Curley Community Center in South Boston as part of the 9th annual Harpoon Shamrock Splash to benefit Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and the Department of Conservation and Recreation's Better Beaches Program. This year, the “pledge and plunge” fundraiser raised more than $50,000 for the Better Beaches Program, which provides grants to community organizations that host free events and programs on the region's public beaches. Participants could direct their fundraising to their favorite local beach and teams raised $1,765 for events on Revere Beach. Each year the program supports free concerts and beach festivals, sand-sculpting competitions, and youth programs on public beaches in Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull. “Thirty years ago nobody wanted to go swimming at the region's beaches and today, they are some of the cleanest urban beaches in the country,” said Save the Harbor President Tani Marinovich. “It’s amazing to see the community that supports this event and supports our beaches from Nahant to Nantasket.” Before the sprint into the ocean, Boston 25 Meteorologist Vicki Graf was on hand to deliver a real-time weather report -- although the air temperature was 34 degrees, the water itself was a balmy 40 degrees! Even though everyone was already wet from the snow and rain before splashing into the Harbor, 2019’s Harpoon Shamrock Splash was the best one yet with splashers enjoying delicious brunch burritos from Baja Taco Truck and fresh, hot chowder from Daily Catch while Mix 104.1 played music on the beach. Harpoon beers invigorated participants after their plunge. "I love when it snows on Splash day," said Bruce Berman, Director of Strategy and Communications for Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, who has splashed every year since the event began. "We're hearty here in New England and the only thing we love more than snow is the beach." “All of us at Harpoon look forward to a relaxing beach day after our Harpoon St. Patrick’s festival to support a great cause and warm up with a refreshing Harpoon, brunch burrito, and clam chowder on the beach with our friends from Save the Harbor/Save the Bay,” said Harpoon Brewery President Charlie Storey. “The water might be cold, and the beach might be covered in snow, but the warm feeling you get from giving back to your community stays with you for a long time.” Participants won JetBlue flights and great Harpoon swag for reaching fundraising goals. Mary Cole from East Boston, who raised $1,530 and received the most donations to her splash, and Trevor Etheridge from Jamaica Plain, who raised $1,65,5 were the top two fundraisers. They each won round trip JetBlue fl ights for their eff orts. The two costume contest winners, Elaine Howley of Waltham, as the Banana Minion, and Joe Skahan from Lynn, as Beaker from the Muppets, won JetBlue flights as well for their creativity and enthusiasm. Second place costumed splashers were Jane Kepros of East Boston who dressed as a goldfi sh and Nick Russo of South Boston who dressed as Aladdin. They won swag from The Harvey Traveler Collection. The costume contest was once again judged by Kennedy Elsey of Mix 104.1. Every splasher and contributor also had the opportunity to win prizes in two post-splash JetBlue fl ight raffl es. "At JetBlue, we are committed to our community and fun is one of our core values,” said Donnie Todd, Corporate Responsibility Liaison for JetBlue, who led a team of 30 participants. "More than 3,500 JetBlue crewmembers call Boston home, we cherish our harbor and proudly support Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and the work they do on the region's public beaches." Members of Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s leadership team were also key fundraisers, but were ineligible to win JetBlue fl ights. Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s Chair of the Board, Joe Newman from Arlington, raised $3,401. Bruce Berman, Director of Strategy and Communications from Brighton, raised $3,115. Save the Harbor’s Vice President of Programs and Operations, Chris Mancini from Somerville, raised $2,577. The top five teams also raised significant funds at this year’s Harpoon Shamrock Splash. Save the Harbor/Save the Bay topped the list with $15,964, followed by JetBlue with $10,990 and the Piers Park Sub-Aqua Warriors with $4,950. Team YES raised $3,162 and Team Harpoon! raised $2,720. “Save the Harbor would like to thank event sponsors at Harpoon Brewery, JetBlue, Mix 104.1, Baja Taco, The Daily Catch, The Harvey Traveler Collection, Unreal Candy, Stony Brook WholeHeartedFoods, and the Blue Sky Collaborative,” said Marinovich, “As well as our Better Beaches Program Funding Partners at The Boston Foundation, Richard Saltonstall Charitable Foundation, P&G Gillette, National Grid, Comcast, Beacon Capital Partners, and New England Picture. “We would also like to thank the Massachusetts Legislature, the Baker-Polito Administration and the Metropolitan Beaches Commission for their support for our beaches,” Marinovich continued, “And, our program partners at the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Boston Centers for Youth and Families and the Greater Boston YMCA for their support.” DEA warns of alarming increase of scam calls W ASHINGTON – The Drug Enforcement Administration urges its DEA-registered practitioners and members of the public to be cautious of telephone calls from criminals posing as DEA or other law enforcement personnel threatening arrest and prosecution for supposed violations of federal drug laws or involvement in drug-traffi cking activities. DEA continues to receive reports from practitioners and the general public, alike, indicating that they have received calls threatening legal action if an exorbitant fi ne is not paid immediately over the phone. The callers typically identify themselves as DEA personnel and instruct their victims to pay the "fi ne" via wire transfer to avoid arrest, prosecution and imprisonment. The reported scam tactics are continually changing, but often share many of the following characteristics: • Callers use fake names and badge numbers or, alternatively, names of well-known DEA senior offi cials. ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS....Nicely located 6 room, 3 bedroom Colonial, featuring spacious eat-in kitchen with porch, located on desirable dead-end street just $425,000 View the interior of this home right on your smartphone. • The tone of calls is urgent and aggressive; callers refuse to speak or leave a message with anyone other than the person for whom they are calling. • Callers threaten arrest, prosecution and imprisonment, and in the case of medical practitioners, revocation of their DEA numbers. • Callers demand thousands of dollars via wire transfer or, in some instances, in the form of untraceable gift cards taken over the phone. • Callers falsify the number on caller ID to appear as a legitimate DEA phone number. • Callers will often ask for personal information, such as social security number or date of birth. • When calling a medical practitioner, callers often reference National Provider Identifi er numbers and/or state license numbers. They also might claim that patients are making accusations against the practitioner. It’s important to underscore that DEA personnel will never contact practitioners or members of the public by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment. DEA will not request any personal or sensitive information over the phone. Notifi cation of a legitimate investigation or legal action is made via offi cial letter or in person. Impersonating a federal agent is a violation of federal law. Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be a DEA special agent or other law enforcement offi cial seeking money should refuse the demand and report the threat using the online form or by calling 877-7922873. Reporting scam calls will greatly assist DEA in investigating and stopping this criminal activity. Any urgent concerns or questions, including inquiring about legitimate investigations, should be directed to the local DEA fi eld division.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, March 22, 2019 1. What fictional boat did Captain Bligh command? Greater Boston League reforms with four NEC teams By Steve Freker T wo years ago history was made when it was announced that the venerable 60-year-old Greater Boston League (GBL) was ceasing operations and the four remaining teams – Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville – were joining the Northeastern Conference (NEC) on a four-year pilot basis. The addition of the four GBL teams to the NEC made it the largest league in the state, with two eight-team divisions, 16 teams in all. Recently that history changed when the votes of just five NEC high school principals led to the breakup and ending of that shortlived merger. Five schools voted through their principals to end the relationship, one short of a required two-thirds majority, as the numbers were 7-5 in favor of keeping the “GBL teams” in the NEC. A second vote, by an 11-1 margin, just this past Friday, was made by the NEC to let the “GBL Four” out of their agreement effective at the end of this school year in June, instead of in 2021. In another twist, Revere High will also leave the NEC and join the GBL Four to form, for now, a five-team GBL moving forward this fall. The only added tenet is that Revere will stay a member of the NEC in football only for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Voting against the GBL teams, essentially ending the relationship, were Beverly, Danvers, Lynn English, Marblehead and Winthrop. The four GBL teams were not allowed a vote, so these five schools ended a 16-team league. Some of the reasons that unofficially came out of the meetings were “travel time” and “competitiveness of GBL teams.” However, the school with, by far, the longest distance to the GBL schools, Gloucester, voted to keep the GBL teams in the NEC. Gloucester’s Athletic Director, Bryan Lafata, was quoted in the Gloucester Times newspaper stating that distance between Gloucester and the GBL teams was not a negative factor, nor were competitive issues of any concern. “I feel bad for those schools because I felt they met the requirements they asked for them,” Swampscott Athletic Director Kelly Farley said of Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville in a recent newspaper article, saying, “They met our expectations.” “We looked at a lot of things,” Lynn English Athletic Director Dick Newton said. Lynn English voted to end the GBL teams’ existence in the NEC. “We looked at the integrity of the league. The way the league was set up, we’d only play the traditional NEC teams every four years. We didn’t want it that way. We wanted to play traditional NEC teams, not traditional GBL teams. We’re not the GBL, we’re the NEC. We want to play NEC teams. That was a key factor in our school voting no. We like playing 100-year-old, traditional rivalry games.” Lynn English Principal Thomas Strangie had twice voted “no” in previous attempts by the GBL to come into the NEC. These new reasons cited by the Lynn English representatives did not exist at that time. Medford High School Athletic Director Bobby Maloney said that as soon as the NEC made it clear the relationship would not continue, the GBL teams wanted a quick exit. “No one wants to play where they are not wanted,” Maloney said, noting that if the NEC had not voted itself to “release” the GBL teams, they would have independently petitioned the MIAA for the same move anyway. Sources say that the newly reformed GBL is actively pursuing other schools to increase the size of the league. “We’d like to have three more schools join us for an eight-team league,” Maloney said. Schools mentioned by sources include Cambridge, a former GBL school now four years into the Dual County League; Chelsea, a former GBL team which last played in that league in 1989 and is now in the Commonwealth Athletic Conference (CAC); and Saugus, a charter member of the NEC. 2.

BAN CONVERSION THERAPY FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 (H 150) House 149-9 and then again 148-8, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists and other health care providers from attempting to change the sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of anyone under 18. Conversion therapy exposes the person to a stimulus while simultaneously subjecting him or her to some form of discomfort. The therapy is primarily used to try to convert gays and lesbians to be straight. Both branches approved a similar bill last year but it never made it to Gov. Charlie Baker’s desk. “If a conversion therapy bill gets to my desk and we don’t see any other issues with it, it’s something we’d be inclined to support,” Baker said recently. Mental health experts and LGBTQ groups charge that the practice is scientifically unproven and unsound and can trigger depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in these youngsters. “Today we can pass a bill that would guarantee, at the very least, that the licensed professionals in … young people’s lives will no longer be permitted to try to change who they are,” said Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “And more importantly we can off er assurances to those still struggling with coming out, or whose parents are still coming to terms with their orientation or identity, that that they will not be sent to a licensed therapist to change who they know themselves to be.” Lewis called the practice barbaric and said to LGBTQ kids that nothing is broken, and nothing needs to be fi xed. “You are great just the way you are, you are you, and you deserve more than just being tolerated, you deserve to be loved, to be supported, to be respected, and yes even celebrated,” Lewis concluded. “This vote was an appalling assault on parental rights in the commonwealth,” said the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute Andrew Beckwith who opposes the ban. “Over 140 of our state legislators apparently believe that parents should not be able to get genderconfused children any treatment, even counseling, that might help them avoid crosssex hormone injections, sterility or ‘transition’ surgery. The bill now heads to the Senate, where its sponsors want to mandate Department of Children and Families investigations for parents who are just trying to get common sense counseling for children who struggle with sexual confusion.” “Health care providers have a fi duciary duty to do no harm to their clients,” said Rep. Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown) who spoke on the House fl oor about the fear she felt coming out as a lesbian to her family. “Don’t be mistaken. Conversion therapy does harm to their clients. Conversion therapy harms their clients through shaming, through increasing self-loathing, through bringing to the foreground feelings of self-hatred, inadequacy and the horrible feeling for any kid: the feeling of being other.” “This bill discriminates against the rights of parents whose children are confused about their sexual orientation or gender identity, against the rights of children under 18 who desire counseling to help them sort through such confusion, and against therapists such as myself,” said psychologist Eric Sweitzer, Director of The Christian-based Charis Counseling Centers which counsel from a Christian faithbased perspective. “This is the state interfering with the religious beliefs and practices of ourselves and our clients, dictating how we and our clients should approach issues of sexual orientation and gender.” There was an unusual second roll call vote on the bill requested by Rep. Susannah Whipps (U-Athol) who said she was recorded incorrectly on the fi rst vote. “On the first vote … I believed I voted “yes,” said Whipps. “I was surprised when a colleague showed me the printout and I was listed as a “no”. I voted in favor of this ban last session and have been a co-sponsor and advocate for this bill this session. I take a great deal of pride in my support of the LGBTQ community.” She said she was very appreciative that the speaker and her colleagues were willing to accept her motion to reconsider and allow her vote to be corrected on the record. Changing your vote after a roll call is closed is not allowed in the House. Alternately, Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) was recorded as “yes” on the fi rst vote and then “no” on the second. “I voted “no” in June of 2018,” said Boldyga in a response to Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he fl ipfl opped last week. “My intention was to vote ‘no’ yesterday and I did.” His response avoids the question about why he fl ipfl opped. Boldyga did not respond to a follow up email from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking the question again. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it. Both roll calls are listed.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes/Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent as to hold my bill in committee just in order to block an amendment on the House floor but I have been given no other reason why my bill that was scheduled for a hearing with the other two conversion therapy bills was not heard without informing me,” said Dooley. “It is ironic that a party [the Democrats] with an 80 percent super majority has such fear of going on the record on even non-controversial votes.” Rep. Kay Khan, the bill’s author and the chair of the Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities did not respond to requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking why the hearing on Dooley’s bill was postponed. (A “Yes” vote is for the ruling prohibiting the amendments onto the House fl oor for debate and a vote. “A “No” vote is against the ruling and favors allowing the amendments onto the House fl oor for debate and a vote.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (H 3594) House 155-1, approved and Yes/Yes RULING OF THE CHAIR ON CONVERSION THERAPY AMENDMENTS (H 150) House 123-33, supported the ruling of the chair that prohibited amendments to exempt talk therapy from the ban and to extend the restrictions to unlicensed practitioners, onto the House fl oor for debate and a vote. The ruling is very technical, but the simple reason the amendments were not allowed was because the Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities had postponed a hearing on a conversion therapy bill (H 110) fi led by Rep. Shawn Dooley (RNorfolk). “I certainly would hope no one would stoop so low sent to the Senate a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 in welfare benefi ts to children conceived while – or soon after – the family began receiving welfare benefi ts or, if they had received family welfare benefi ts in the past. The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. Supporters of the repeal said that there are some 8,700 children who currently fall under the cap in the Bay State. These families are barred from receiving an additional $100 a month to help support that child. They said there are no facts to back up the charge that families are having more children in order to get the additional $100. “The House overwhelmingly supported family cap repeal … with a nearly unanimous vote of 155-1,” said Deborah Harris of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute. “We hope that the urgency and support demonstrated by the House will help lift the cap on kids very soon so children will not have to wait any longer for this injustice to end.” “I’m proud today that once again the House is voting to repeal the family welfare cap, a policy which denies assistance to our neediest families,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge), Chair of the Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery. “The family cap has been a failed policy since it was enacted, and it has only served to deny families living in poverty the resources that they desperately need. Today, families across Massachusetts can be assured the state sees them, it recognizes their needs, and will continue to meet their needs today and tomorrow.” Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), the only opponent of the bill, did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call to get a comment on her vote. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes 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 dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 11-15, the House met for a total of seven hours and fi ve minutes while the Senate met for a total of 11 minutes.

My husband suffers from lung disease and is receiving radiation for prostate cancer but is not terminally ill. I’ve heard that palliative care can help him with his pain and discomfort. What can you tell me? Searching Spouse Dear Searching, Palliative care is a very effective service that can help patients relieve the symptoms and stress that often comes with serious illness. But unfortunately, most people don’t know about it, or don’t understand how it can help them. Here’s what you should know. What is Palliative Care? Most people hear the words “palliative care” and think “hospice,” but they are different types of care. Hospice is reserved for when curative treatments have been exhausted and patients have less than six months to live. Palliative care, on the other hand, is a medical specialty that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping and even depression. It can also help patients deal with the side effects of medical treatment. Anyone with a serious illness can benefit from palliative care, including those with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, HIV/AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and more. Palliative care is provided by a team including palliative F OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Thursday, March 14, 2019 - BOSTON, MA - Local player and coaching talent Michael ~ Legal Notice ~ Public Hearing Notice is hereby given in accordance Sections 1-40 of Chapter 82 of the Massachusetts General Laws and Title 12, Chapter 12.12, Section 12.12.050 of the Revised Ordinances of the City of Revere that the Revere City Council will conduct a public hearing on Monday evening, April 22, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Councillor Joseph A. DelGrosso City Council Chamber of Revere City Hall, 281 Broadway, Revere, MA on the application of Bernard J. Schram, Trustee of the 257 Washington Avenue Realty Trust for the purpose of considering the discontinuance and abandonment of a certain portion of Lincoln Street as illustrated on the petitioner’s plan. A copy of the aforementioned plan is on file and available for public inspection in the Office of the City Clerk, Revere City Hall, 281 Broadway, Revere, Massachusetts, Monday through Thursday from 8:15 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and Friday 8:15 A.M. to 12:15 P.M. Attest: Ashley E. Melnik City Clerk March 22, March 29 & April 5 Bustamante has been named the new head coach of Boston City FC as the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) club prepares to kick off the 2019 season. Bustamante, 29, returns to Boston City FC having been one of the stars of the club's 2016 inaugural season when he was named to the All-NPSL Team. The Colombian-born midfielder, who was raised in Chelsea, played in every match and was instrumental in helping Boston City reach the playoff s as the team's second-leading scorer with six goals and joint assists leader with four. "Having been a player with Boston City and being a local guy who grew up in this area, the opportunity to take the lead and coach this team holds a great appeal," said Bustamante. "I've always been involved in the local community here, so this is an opportunity to help the growth of soccer in Boston and further my coaching career. "One of the most important things I want to do is bring in BOSTON | SEE PAGE 19 care doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists that work with your doctor to provide an extra layer of support and care. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment. Palliative care teams are trained to help patients understand all their treatment options as well as the quality of life ramifications, so they can make informed decisions about what’s best for them. Often patients assume their doctors will take care of their pain and stress, but most doctors in our specialized medical system have not been well trained in pain and symptom management. That’s why palliative care is invaluable. Palliative care was developed in the United States in the 1990s but only became a formal medical subspecialty in 2008. Today, three-quarters of U.S. hospitals with more than 50 beds have a palliative care program, and 90 percent of hospitals with 300 beds or more offer it. How to Get Care There are around 6 million people in the U.S. that have a need for palliative care, according to the Center to Advance Palliative Care, but most patients don’t know to ask for it. If you feel that a palliative care specialist could help your husband, start by talking to his doctor and ask for a referral. If your doctor isn’t helpful, go to GetPalliativeCare.org, where you can search for a specialist in your area. Palliative care can be provided in in a variety of places, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, doctor’s clinics and at your own home. You’ll also be happy to know that most private insurance plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid, cover palliative care services. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, March 22, 2019 Page 19 BOSTON | from page 18 quality players to create a little more diversity from diff erent communities in the Boston area. There are a lot of local colleges here in Boston and those are the kind of players who have not played with the club in the past. We will look at our pool of returning players and I am also reaching out to contacts and players I know, to create a strong squad." Bustamante was selected in the fi rst round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft by the New York Red Bulls, where he was a member of the squad that won the MLS Supporters Shield, alongside Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill. He enjoyed a standout college career at Boston University, winning America East Conference rookie of the year honors, having led Chelsea High School to four consecutive playoff berths. For media use only: Click here to download photos of Michael Bustamante. Boston City has also added Manny Brito, who along with returning assistant coaches Roberto Mazzinghy and Cesar Deossa will complete the technical team of local coaches responsible for guiding the club through the 2019 season. "I believe my passion for the game and my experience as a player will truly benefi t the players at Boston City," said Brito. "I was an All-American in college, and I played in Portugal and South Korea, so for those who have ambitions to make it to the next level, I can be an inspiration and help guide them to reach those goals. Speaking multiple languages and understanding diff erent cultures means that I can bring something to the group in terms of bringing everyone together. One of my strengths is my ability to connect with the players and establish a good rapport with them so they give everything for the coaching staff in return. "Another attraction of joining Boston City is the opportunity to work with a group of talented adults. My coaching has been mostly at the youth level and I truly enjoy what I do, but I am keen to expand my coaching horizons and work with a diverse group of players. " Brito has extensive coaching and playing experience both domestically and abroad. The Cape Verdean native, who is fl uent in fi ve languages, has successfully coached at the youth and adult levels in the local region. A long-time educator who is currently teaching Spanish at Shore Country Day School, Brito has a playing resume that has taken him from Europe to Asia as well as the United States. Boston City FC Managing Director Craig Tornberg said: "I could not be more excited that Michael has agreed to lead our team into the 2019 campaign. He is incredibly competitive and was infl uential in every match he played for Boston City. We are confi dent he will make an immediate impact on the team. With Manny, we gain so much from his vast international experience and teaching skills. His presence in the locker room and on the fi eld will only strengthen Michael's role. "Michael, Manny and our returning coaches Roberto and Cesar are also so very wellknown and respected within the Greater Boston area and beyond. They have strong connections throughout this region's soccer scene, which we believe will help create even more opportunities for talented local players to further their careers with Boston City FC." Bustamante becomes the second head coach in Boston City FC history, following former Brazil international Palhinha, who guided the Lions to the NPSL playoff s in 2016 and 2017, parting with the Lions after the 2018 campaign. Season tickets for seven NPSL home matches and one special event are now available at www.BostonCityFC. com with prices frozen for the fourth straight season. Boston City FC will kick off the club's 2019 NPSL home schedule on Saturday, May 4, at Harry Della Russo Stadium in Revere. Five home matches will be played in Revere and two will take place at Hormel Stadium in Medford. The club's Boston City II development team plays in the Bay State Soccer League (BSSL). # # # About Boston City FC Boston City FC is a soccer club and corresponding academy which makes its home in the greater Boston area.
