Have a Sa e & Happy Easter and Passov Have a Safe & Happy Easter and Passover Vol. 31, No.15 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday Human Rights Commission again faces disruptions By Adam Swift T he city’s Human Rights Commission (HRC) meetings continue to be beset by outbursts and interruptions, with the latest meeting on Thursday, April 7 seeing several audience members escorted out after warnings from Chair Janine Grillo Marra. As in recent months, the City Council Chambers saw a small contingent of audience members touting signs to abolish the commission, people taping the meeting with their phones and numerous interruptions and asides from the group. April’s meeting also saw a few people in the audience holding their own signs in support of the commission. Unlike several recent meetings, the HRC ended its April meeting without ending early. However, Grillo Marra did end the meeting before addressing all the issues on its agenda, including the public forum at the end of the agenda, to the consternation of several of those who showed up in opposition to the commission’s existence. Early in the meeting, Grillo Marra laid out the rules that the commission must follow in accordance with the Open Meeting Law. “Guests are expected to speak in a respectful way; aggressive speech and slander will not be tolerated,” said Grillo Marra. “Guests will be muted or deemed out of order after being reminded more than twice, and guests may be removed from the meeting.” Grillo Marra said guests had the right to record the meeting, but could not move around and disrupt the proceedings. “No person can address the commission without the permission of the chair,” she said. “We are glad that you are here, but you have to be silent, and no person shall disrupt the proceedings of a public body.” During her report to the commission, HRC Executive Director Dr. Maritsa Barros said she wants to hear from all voices in the community, but did address the recent dissent at meetings. “It’s not easy to work when we have this opposition in the room,” said Barros. “I just hope that – for those who are not seeing eye to eye with us right now – that just your presence and being with us and being part of the conversation, hearing the things we are discussing and trying to get accomplished, you will MEETING | SEE Page 17 781-286-8500 Friday, April 15, 2022 City Council Honors The City Council presented Certifi cates of Appreciation to Greg Vendetti, Emelio Fusco, April Feeney, Tyler D’Angelo and Joe Singer for their work with children through the Revere High School Boxing Program.

Building a new high school on Erricola Park and then recreating the fi elds on the current high school was one of the fi nal two options for the new school, but the School Committee and City Council decided to go with the Wonderland option. “We have a very robust planning department that reconPATRICK KEEFE Ward 4 Councillor structs parks and reinvests in our city’s resources,” said Keefe.

For the third consecutive year, the Revere-based nonprofi t will participate in the event through The Commonwealth Program which gives 60 percent of all funds raised by teams from likeminded organizations and agencies back to support their own hunger relief programs, with the remaining 40 percent applied to the statewide anti-hunger eff ort. To date, Project Bread has awarded more than $13,000 in grants to the First Congregational Church of Revere Food Pantry through the Commonwealth Program. Historically, the Walk for Hunger, the nation’s oldest continual pledge walk, takes place the fi rst Sunday of May on the Boston Common. The 2022 fundraiser will be the third event to be done virtually and is expected to raise more than $1 million to support Project Bread’s work to increase food access for people of all ages in Massachusetts. “Currently, one in five Massachusetts households with children is struggling without enough to eat and that number jumps dramatically for Black, brown, and immigrant households,” said Erin McAleer, Project Bread CEO. “Participating in the Walk for Hunger is one way in which residents can take action to fund school and community meal sites and Massachusetts’ only statewide hotline that connects residents with a range of food resources, including SNAP assistance. We can drive community change together.” Money raised through the Walk is funding Project Bread’s work to ensure kids have reliable access to food, directly helping individuals and families, and advocating at the state and federal levels for expedited and effi cient relief for those in need. Walk funds are also supporting community organizations, like the First Congregational Church of Revere Food Pantry, that are helping residents to access food now and grants to ensure communities have the resources necessary to sustain and grow local anti-hunger programs. In 2021, 28 nonprofi ts participated in The Commonwealth Program and raised more than $165,000 to support their own work. Founded in 1983, the First Congregational Church of Revere Food Pantry serves as an emergency food provider for food insecure families in the community. Pre-pandemic, the nonprofi t served approximately 60 to 80 families per week, distributing 6,000 to 8,000 pounds of food per month provided by the Greater Boston Food Bank. Today, the food pantry serves an estimated 350 to 400 families weekly, off ering 60,000 to 70,000 pounds of food monthly. The need has never been greater as families continue to struggle with job security and the rising costs of living, food, gas and home heating. The team has a long history of participating in the Walk for Hunger even before the Commonwealth Program launched in 2020. This year, the team, which is actively accepting community members to join, aims to raise $2,000 to help fund the purchase of food and other supplies to keep the pantry running. “Project Bread has been a longtime partner of ours and of the City of Revere to help provide food to residents of all ages, through school meals, the Summer Eats program and our pantry,” said Wendy Baur, director of the First Congregational Church of Revere Food Pantry, who for years volunteered at the registration table for the event when it was held in-person on the Boston Common. “Participating in the event is one way to help our neighbors in need. You never know who is struggling in our community. You can help by joining our Walk team.” This y ear’s event will include virtual programming with McAleer, elected offi cials, as well as walkers and volunteers posting and sharing their experiences along their neighborhood routes and why they are walking to help end hunger. Families with kids, individuals and teams of corporate employees are encouraged to fi nd creative ways to connect virtually and fundraise together. To register for the event and create a personal or team fundraising page for The Walk for Hunger or to make a donation, visit projectbread.org/walk or call (617) 723-5000.There is no registration fee or fundraising minimum to participate. Participants who raise $500 or more are recognized as Heart & Sole walkers, and receive access to personalized fundraising support, exclusive event gear, and invitations to events.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2022 Page 3 Upcoming suspensions of Blue Line service will allow for accelerated infrastructure improvements B etween April 25 and May 8, Blue Line service will be suspended between Airport and Bowdoin Stations to accommodate harbor tunnel repair work with alternate shuttle bus and ferry services provided. Between May 12 and May 29, Blue Line service will be suspended between Wonderland and Orient Heights Stations to allow for work to take place on the Suff olk Downs pedestrian bridge with alternate shuttle bus service provided. “The work accomplished during these closures will ultimately lead to better, safer, more reliable service for our Blue Line riders on a faster timeline,” said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. “We know these diversions can be an inconvenience, but these service suspensions allow us to expedite critical tunnel and infrastructure work. I want to thank our Blue Line riders for their patience while we accelerate these important projects.” Diversion between Airport and Bowdoin Free bus shuttles will replace Blue Line service between Airport and Bowdoin all day, every day between April 25 and May 8 to accommodate harbor tunnel repair work. Shuttle buses will operate in a one-way inbound loop through the downtown area. Shuttle buses will not stop at Bowdoin; Bowdoin riders are instead asked to board and exit shuttles at Government Center Station. The shuttle bus stop at State Station is drop-off only. Express bus shuttles will not stop at Maverick Station. Alternate ferry services will also be available from Lewis Mall near Maverick Station to Long Wharf – operating approximately every 20 minutes from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Riders should show their CharlieCard or CharlieTicket to boat crews for entry. During this Blue Line service suspension, crews will accelerate necessary track replacement work and other infrastructure improvements. The scope of work includes a $5 million investment in the replacement of 1,800 feet of full depth track. Other activities that will take place simultaneously include tunnel and drainage system inspections, sealing leaks, upgrading tunnel lighting, fi ber optic cable installation and the removal of abandoned cable and signal repairs – all totaling approximately $2 million. This 14-day acceleration of work replaces approximately one year of performing the work during nights and weekends. It also signifi cantly reduces the costs associated with contractor crews mobilizing and demobilizing each night and each weekend, and costs for shuttle buses and transit operational support. The estiRidership on the Blue Line is nearly 40 percent below what it was before the pandemic. In addition to community group briefi ngs last month, the MBTA continues to communicate public information about this important work. The MBTA is being proactive in completing these reliability and resiliency improvements ahead of this summer’s planned shutdown of the Sumner Tunnel. mated savings for performing this work in 14 days instead of during evening and weekend diversions over the course of one year is approximately $2-3 million. Diversion between Wonderland and Orient Heights Free bus shuttles will replace Blue Line service between Wonderland and Orient Heights Stations all day, every day between May 12 and May 29 to accommodate critical repair work on the pedestrian bridge at Suff olk Downs Station.

The City of Revere purchased the Boatworks site as part of a larger Riverfront master planning process at the Pines and Saugus Rivers that also encompasses the redevelopment of Gibson Park and the private development of the G&J towing yard. During a public meeting on Thursday, April 7, city officials and consultants laid out the results of a feasibility study for the future development of the Boatworks property. “This was a boatyard for a long time, but during the master plan process we recognized a lot of potential in how we could extend Gibson Park,” said John McAllister of McAllister Marine Engineering. “We could create some connections and have some functionality, some kind of community rowing or getting people to the water because there isn’t a lot of good water access for the public along the Pines and the Saugus River in this area.” McAllister and consulting architect Arrowstreet performed the feasibility study of the site with the two existing buildings. The consultants considered three options: a complete rehabilitation upgrading the two existing buildings, a partial rehab upgrading the existing brick building and demolishing the smaller building and building new on that portion, or a complete new reconstruction. “We want to maintain the existing footprint, or at least the existing square footage as much as possible because we are in an Area of Critical Environmental Concern,” said David Bois of Arrowstreet. He said extending the footprint of the building in the area would make permitting diffi cult. Overall, the goal is to create a community center for rowing and small craft kayaks, Bois said. All options include community space, gym areas, and additional amenities in addition to boat storage. Bois said the exact layout and functionality is still up in the air. “Once the city works and fi nds an operator, this could change, but it is a starting point to evaluate each of the diff erent options on an equal footing,” he said. Bois said the consultants believe the partial rebuild is the most cost-effective long-term option for a community rowing center at the boatyard. “This is really encouraging and builds upon the ideas that came out of the master plan,” said Bob O’Brien, the city’s economic development director. O’Brien noted that permitting could still be a challenge for the project and it could be some time before construction begins. He asked whether there is a way some part of the rowing program could be instituted on a more temporary basis before fi nal construction is completed. Bois said that if the city moves forward with the partial rehabilitation option, the current brick building could be rehabbed fi rst and used for boat storage. Elle Baker, the city’s open space and environmental planner, said the city is looking to fund the design phase of the boatyard project through grants, and that the plans should be at 60 percent completed by July. “We will go from there and be applying for Seaport Economic Council funds for fi nal design and permitting,” said Baker. Revere man allegedly uses Everett auto dealerships to steal from customers and evade taxes By Christopher Roberson C lesio Beninca, 56, of Revere, is facing charges of larceny, tax evasion and malicious de struction of property stemming from his operation of Ferry Street Auto Sales and Glendale Auto Brokers, both in Everett. According to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, Beninca stole more than $130,000 from six individuals “through fraudulent operations at his used car dealership.” It is also alleged that he withheld $86,000 in sales tax from the state. Reportedly, when Beninca sold a vehicle, the fi gure that appeared on the auto loan was noticeably higher than the original fi gure that was agreed upon. This discrepancy caused false RMV-1 forms to be fi led with the Registry of Motor Vehicles. On numerous occasions, Beninca reportedly sold vehicles that had liens on them, making it impossible for the new owners to register the vehicles. In one instance, he promised to return the profi ts to a customer from a vehicle that was sold at auction. However, Beninca allegedly used the money to pay the debt he owed to the auctioneers. During Beninca’s arraignment on April 4, Assistant Clerk Magistrate Daniel Flaherty ordered that bail be set at $3,500 in cash. Beninca was also required to surrender his passport, not apply for a new one and to not travel outside New England. “This defendant is alleged to have repeatedly used his business to target and defraud victims and the people of the Commonwealth,” said Ryan. “This defendant is charged with repeatedly being untruthful about vehicle sales and personally profi ting from these schemes. His actions not only impacted victims fi nancially but disrupted their everyday lives by leaving them without reliable transportation.” Everett Police Chief Steven Mazzie lauded the investigators for their tireless eff orts. “I’m glad we were able to hold Mr. Beninca accountable for taking advantage and betraying the trust of members of our immigrant community,” he said. Beninca is now facing six counts of larceny over $1,200, being a common and notorious thief, two counts of tax evasion and malicious destruction of property. Under state law, if convicted, Beninca could be sentenced to up to 36 years in prison and be fi ned up to $60,000. He is scheduled to be back in court on April 25.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2022 Page 5 Forum organized by two area lawmakers and MassDEP addresses WIN Waste landfill closing By Adam Swift T he ash landfill at WIN Waste Innovations in Saugus is likely to close and be capped within the next several years, and local and state offi cials are planning for what comes next. State Rep. Jessica Giannino (D-Revere), whose district includes Precincts 3 and 10 in Saugus, and state Rep. Jeff rey Turco (D-Winthrop) whose 19th Suff olk House District includes part of Revere, last week (April 5) cohosted a public discussion on the future permitting of the WIN Waste Innovations (formerly Wheelabrator Technologies) ash landfi ll. Joining the two legislators were state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) offi cials at the Point of Pines Yacht Club, in the shadow of the WIN Waste incinerator on Rumney Marsh. Late last year, MassDEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg issued a letter stating that MassDEP would not allow the expansion of the WIN Waste ash landfi ll as it’s currently proposed. At last week’s meeting, MassDEP representatives estimated it would be about four years before the ash landfi ll reaches total capacity and would have to begin closure procedures. However, the WIN Waste incinerator could remain in operation and ship its ash to a separate location. While there was a generally upbeat tone to Tuesday’s meeting and the possibility that the decadeslong battle against the ash landfi ll may be over, there were a number of residents who live near WIN Waste Innovations who said they would believe it when they see it. “I want to thank Commissioner Suuberg for sending us the letter back in the fall that his understanding of the current law is that once the landfi ll reaches its capacity it will not be able to expand beyond that,” Turco said. “That led to a discussion among people who said let’s start talking about what happens after the landfi ll reaches capacity,” he said. Kirs tie Pecci, director of the Conservation Law Foundation’s Zero Waste Project, ran through the long legal history of the WIN Waste site, which stretches back over seven decades to its original use as a trash dump. In the 1970s, people were sick of the odor from the landfi ll, and the site was transformed into an incinerator plant. “What really happens is nothing goes away, and they were emitting the chemicals and the toxins and heavy metal into the air, and they were creating ash,” Pecci said. “For every four tons of trash, they generate a ton of ash, and that ash has to go there, and they put it on top of the municipal solid waste – Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 ESTIMATED LANDFILL LIFE: State Department of Environmental Protection offi cials say there is enough remaining capacity of the ash landfi ll at the site of the WIN Waste Innovations trash-to-energy plant to last through the end of 2025. (Advocate fi le photo by Mark E. Vogler) and they made the ash mountain you see now.” By the late 1980s, it was no longer legal to have an ash mountain in the middle of a marsh, Pecci said, and the area was declared an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. “In 1989, there was what’s called a consent order, saying this is closing December 1996; this landfi ll is done,” Pecci said. “They put a wall around it and put a slurry wall around it. They never built a liner or dug in, they just put a slurry wall around it.” But the state then ruled that the landfi ll would be shut down when it looked like the fi nal engineering plan. “Then they proceeded – instead of closing the landfi ll down in December of 1996 – they proceeded to amend that consent order and the fi nal engineering plan 11 or 12 times over the years,” Pecci said. The legal battle continued over the years over the diff erences between an expansion of the landfi ll versus an expansion of capacity, allowing WIN Waste to fi ll several remaining stormwater valleys on the site. Pecci said Suuberg’s letter from last fall shows him holding to his word that MassDEP would not allow any further expansion at the ash landfi ll. “Being in an Area of Critical Environmental Concern did not save us last time, but it should do so this time,” Pecci said. “I think you should feel confident that this will shut down, but we keep our eyes on MassDEP because we have to make sure that their bosses don’t change their minds. But I think we have got this beat, so we are actually going to shut this landfi ll down,” she said. Eric Worrall, MassDEP’s regional director, said WIN Waste Innovations is required to give the agency an annual update on the estimated remaining capacity at the landfi ll. “From November 2021, the most recent estimate is 3.6 to four years, so that would take us to the end of 2025,” Worrall said. “The fi - nal engineering plan – the closure plan – has already been approved by the department, so that is already in place.” Once the landfill reaches the 50-foot-high elevation across the entire landfi ll, WIN Waste will be required to cap and close it. “There are a couple of ways you can cap a landfi ll; one is with a clay liner; another is a geomembrane, which is pretty much what everybody uses these days because it’s much easier to work with; it’s a very heavy, thick, polyethylene-duty liner, which once you shape and grade the landfi ll to the fi nal contours, that goes down,” Worrall said. “Then you have your drainage layer on top of that and you loam and seed on top of that.” Once the landfill is filled and capped, there also needs to be a post-closure plan in place for 30 years that includes monitoring, Worrall said. In November 2020, the Saugus Board of Health formed a Landfi ll Subcommittee for the purpose of sitting down with WIN Waste Innovations to determine how the town can better benefi t from the presence of the company. That committee has met many times, with WIN Waste representatives attending every meeting. Committee members have had the opportunity to express what they would want to see in a Host Community Agreement, and the company is expected to present the Landfi ll Committee with a proposal this spring. “We are pleased to have worked collaboratively with the Landfill Committee over the last 17 months,” said James Connolly, WIN Waste Innovations Vice President of Environmental Aff airs. “Based on those conversations and priorities expressed by members of the committee, we look forward to the opportunity to present our proposal for a Host Community Agreement and continuing a dialog that allows us to enhance our economic, environmental and community value to Saugus and the region,” Connolly said.

Amy O’Hara) Revere man arrested on numerous drug and gun charges By Christopher Roberson M arcus Johnson, 36, of Revere, was recently taken into custody by Boston Police and is facing a slew of drug and fi rearm charges. Johnson was allegedly stopped by police for speeding in the area of Blue Hill Avenue and Columbia Road in Dorchester at approximately 8:42 p.m. on April 9. As Johnson provided offi cers with his driver’s license, they reportedly saw “several loose pills” in the vehicle. Offi - cers also saw a number of items that were “indicative of narcotics distribution.” This prompted police to remove Johnson from the vehicle and place him under arrest. As officers continued their search of Johnson’s vehicle, they allegedly discovered a Taurus 9mm handgun with one CHURCH | FROM Page 2 es, including SNAP benefi ts, in 180 languages and for the hearing impaired.

(Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) By Greg Phipps H aving to play three road games in three consecutive days is a tough task so early in the season. But the Revere High School baseball team came out of it in pretty good shape. The Patriots emerged victorious in two of those three contests to sit at 3-2 on the early season. No doubt, last Monday’s tight 5-4 win at Medford was the highlight of the stretch. Revere scored the winning run on a wild pitch that brought home Mike strong outing. He hurled fi veand-a-third innings, surrendered just two earned runs and fanned eight hitters. Another key moment came in the top of the fifth inning when Andrew Leone drilled a single to bring home a run and even the game at 4-4. Wednesday’s victory at Chelsea ended after three innings, as the Patriots rolled to a 26-2 triumph. Giancarlo Miro had a big day, swatting three hits, including a triple, and driving in four runs. He was helped along by Chris Cecca with four hits (two of them doubles) and two RBI, Juan Londono with a double and four RBI and Popp with three runs driven in. Brendan Sack and Bobby O’Brien each added two RBI in the victory, which got Revere back on the winning track after an 11-4 nonleague defeat at Swampscott on Tuesday. In that loss, Miro launched a two-run homer that briefl y put the Patriots ahead 2-0 in the top of the fi rst inning. From there, though, the host Big Blue took control by responding with four runs in the bottom of the frame. Swampscott added seven more tallies before it was over while the Patriots could only tack on two more runs. Miro was the starting pitcher before being relieved in the first by Domenic Boudreau, who pitched three frames. Ollie Svendson then hurled the fi nal three innings for Revere. Revere Head Coach Mike Manning told the press after the Swampscott game that he witnessed several encouraging things despite the loss. “We hit some balls really hard but, unfortunately, they didn’t find holes and that happens sometimes,” he said. Revere’s Giancarlo Miro homered in Tuesday’s loss to Swampscott and had three hits and four RBIs in Wednesday’s win at Chelsea. “We’ll build off of the positives and continue to work on the things we missed in practice.” Revere moves on to play 10 a.m. home games against Malden on Monday, April 18, and Everett on Wednesday, April 20.

City Council approves special permit for Salem Street condos O By Adam Swift n Monday night the City Council approved a special permit for a 72-unit condominium development at the site of a former nursing home on Salem Street. Broadway Capital in Chelsea wants to convert the West Revere Health Center at 133 Salem St. to a mixeduse development with 71 condominium units and one offi ce. Developers plan to use the existing structure, update it and add one story to the existing threestory building. Since fi rst coming before the council earlier this year, the developers agreed to increase the number of parking spots for the project to 103, included seven aff ordable housing units, and dictate that no more than 10 percent of the total units could be rented out by the owners of the condominiums. Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino thanked the developers for their work with the council’s Zoning Subcommittee and with the neighborhood. Serino did ask if the construction on the project could start at 7:30 a.m. rather than 7 a.m. to help alleviate noise concerns for neighbors, and exclude construction on Saturdays. Mikael Vienneau, the managing director of Broadway Capital, said he is amenable to the requests. “It’s great working with someone who knows where the city wants to be, and making those concessions to help the city, help the residents – we appreciate that,” said City Council President Gerry Visconti. Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe praised the communication between Broadway Capital, the city and the residents. “Most importantly, to the city, for one of the fi rst times we are requesting for a private developer to have condominiums at below market rates to our residents, veterans, seniors and workforce residents of our city,” said Keefe. “We were able to get seven units, that was the ask, 10 percent, and we were able to get that.” Clifton Street resident Tony Chianca also spoke in favor of the project. “I took it on my own time to go to visit his other project on Broadway in Chelsea, and I was very impressed with the quality of the project, and the parking lot was clean and the place was professionally done,” he said. Ward 5 Councillor Al Fiore cast the lone vote against the special permit. “I am certainly pleased the developer is proposing condominiums; with all the development in the city, I wish that was something that was done all along Revere Beach so we would have a little more vested interest,” said Fiore. “I understand that something has to go there, but I am opposed to adding a story; I am opposed to the additional units. For those reasons, I will be voting no on the matter.”

The commission also addressed ways it can help the local Cambodian community combat discrimination and inequities. During the discussion, Grillo Marra issued several warnings to people in the audience and asked for the removal of several people yelling comments. “This is our monthly meeting, and there are other avenues where you can reach out to the HRC and people will respond to you,” said Grillo Marra.

For those who feel they were shortchanged, please notice that we did not get a chance to cover an agenda item, which is our monthly meeting for business, so we did not just disallow the public forum.” Revere man killed by uncle outside Cambridge Court By Christopher Roberson C ong Wang, 23, of Revere, was reportedly shot and killed by his uncle, Chenghai Xue, 44, outside the Cambridge District Courthouse in Medford on April 7. According to the preliminary investigation, the two men were at the court for a hearing in which Xue was seeking to renew the restraining order he had against Wang. However, Attorney William Barabino, counsel for Xue, said the court denied his client’s request. After leaving the court shortly before 5 p.m., Xue reportedly used his vehicle to strike Wang in the parking lot. Xue then allegedly got out of his vehicle, pulled out a handgun and shot Wang fi ve times. According to Middlesex District Attorney Marion Ryan, Xue had a valid license to carry a fi rearm. Wang, a computer science student at Northeastern University, was pronounced dead at the scene. Xue was subsequently charged with murder and was arraigned the following day in Somerville District Court. According to court documents, Wang had a romantic relationship with Xue’s wife while Xue was living in China. However, Wang became angry when Xue’s wife ended the relationship in the summer of 2020 and reportedly sent several threatening text messages. One message read: “I will kill your family. If I don't kill your family, I will commit suicide." The aff air prompted Xue to end his marriage and to fi le a restraining order against Wang.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill roll Call records local senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of April 4-8. There were no roll calls in the House last week. MARIJUANA LAWS (S 2801) sent to the House a bill that makes changes in the cannabis industry including creating a social equity fund, to provide grants and loans, including forgivable and no-interest loans, designed to assist entrepreneurs and businesses from communities disproportionately harmed by the decades of marijuana prohibition. Another key provision would permit cities and towns, either through a voter referendum or by an act of the City Council or Board of Selectmen, to allow the sale of marijuana and marijuana products for consumption on the premises where they are sold. Supporters explained that opening an average cannabis retail shop can require up to $1.5 million. They noted that since federal cannabis laws prevent these businesses from accessing traditional bank loans, lack of capital can pose an insurmountable barrier. “I’m proud that when the Senate and the Legislature legalized the commercial marijuana industry in 2017, we prioritized the creation of a fi rst-in-the-nation equity program,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (DAshland). “Unfortunately, many barriers continue to prevent those historically harmed by marijuana prohibition from entering the industry.

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 takes important steps to address these by providing resources to support social equity businesses and putting guardrails in place on the Host Community Agreement process.” “When we passed recreational cannabis legislation fi ve years ago, we sought to ensure the commonwealth’s budding cannabis industry would be equitable, diverse, and have ample avenues of entry for small-scale and Black and Brown-led entrepreneurship,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “Regrettably, the Legislature’s intention to build an industry rooted in social justice has not yet been fully realized. Today we are living up to that promise by establishing guardrails on host-community agreements, allowing communities interested in pursuing social consumption sites to do so, and empowering a strong, vibrant, local cannabis industry with a robust cannabis equity fund.” “Limiting the cost of operation is part of promoting social equity and repairing harm to communities harmed by War On Drugs, by lowering one of many barriers to entry with the host community agreement reform in this bill,” said Sen. Patricia Jehlen (D-Somerville). “I hope this new bill is even clearer in stating the intent of the law and the ability of the Cannabis Control Commission to achieve the goals of promoting social equity. High costs of cannabis have helped preserve the illicit market for cannabis and this bill will take signifi cant steps to expand business opportunities and lower costs across the commonwealth.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes REQUIRE REFERENDUM ON ONSITE CONSUMPTION (S 2801) Senate 3-36, rejected an amendment that would require a city or town to hold a voter referendum on any proposal that would allow the sale of marijuana and marijuana products for consumption on the premises where they are sold. The amendment would replace language in the bill that gives two options to cities and towns: hold a referendum or have the option to give the authority to the City Council or Board of Selectmen. Amendment supporters said that the voters, not city or town offi cials, should have the fi nal say on whether to allow these businesses to operate in the community. “If you believe in democracy and full participation and allowing every voter to weigh in, and most of us do, then you would be in support of this amendment,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). Amendment opponents said cities and towns should have both the referendum option and the local offi cials’ option, which will save the costs of holding a referendum. The main opponent of the amendment, Sen. Sonia ChangDiaz (D-Boston) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for allowing only a referendum. A “No” vote is for allowing a referendum or a vote by local offi cials). Sen. Lydia Edwards No CREATE A FUND TO HELP CITIES AND TOWNS DEVELOP AGREEMENTS (S 2801) Senate 8-31, rejected an amendment that would create a state-funded Host Community Technical Assistance Fund to help cities and towns in developing and negotiating Home Community Agreements (HCAs)—which are agreements between a city or town and the business looking to open a marijuana-related business in the community. “If we are going to put so much stock in HCAs and put stringent requirements on their accounting and execution, then we ought to be helping municipalities that may not have the ability to negotiate and develop the kind of agreements that we all hope to have,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Bruce Tarr (RGloucester). Amendment opponents said the fund is not necessary and noted that the bill includes the creation of a model agreement on which cities and towns can base their agreements without spending a lot of money. They also noted cities and towns can use the 3 percent tax that local communities are already entitled to levy on the businesses. The main opponent of the amendment, Sen. Sonia ChangDiaz (D-Boston,) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No COMMISSION ON DRUGGED DRIVING (S 2801) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would create a Special Commission on Drugged Driving to do research on the development of technology and methods that would reliably test individuals suspected of operating motor vehicles under the infl uence of marijuana. The commission would submit an annual report, beginning January 1, 2024 of its fi ndings and recommendation for legislation. “From what we have seen in Massachusetts and other states where marijuana has been legalized, there has been an uptick in incidents of driving under the infl uence of cannabis and this remains a signifi cant public safety issue,” said Sen. Mike Moore (DMillbury). “Drugged driving has long been an issue here in the commonwealth; however, the lack of a reliable test for individuals operating motor vehicles under the infl uence of marijuana has posed challenges to law enforcement. This amendment creates a commission to help ensure that we remain vigilant to advancements in technology and have updated policies for court proceedings to keep our roadways safe.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes CREATING WOMEN’S RIGHTS HISTORY TRAIL PROGRAM (S 2802) Senate 39-0, approved a bill that would require the state to develop and implement a Women’s Rights History Trail Program. The measure includes requiring the state to designate properties and sites that are historically and thematically associated with the struggle for women’s rights and women’s suff rage. Another provision provides that the state promote education and awareness of the struggle for women’s rights in the state. A 13-member Women’s Rights History Trail Task Force would be formed to research, solicit public input and make recommendations for sites, properties and attractions to be included in the trail. The House has already approved its own version of the bill. The Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. “Massachusetts has a rich history of involvement in the women’s rights movement,” said the bill’s sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “Women have had a pivotal role in shaping the policies of our commonwealth, and this bill will ensure that those contributions are known and celebrated … The history of these women is our history, and we must continue to advance that history forward.” “Women in Massachusetts have played a pivotal role at every step in the commonwealth’s history, yet their contributions are too often overlooked,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The Women’s Rights History Trail will serve as a visible monument to the history of women—and the women’s rights movement. Understanding this history gives us all a chance to refl ect on where we have come from and what it means to leave a legacy that can uplift and inspire future generations.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2022 Page 19 BEACON | FROM Page 14 trail will give particular attention to the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of the women who have transformed Massachusetts.” The House approved the bill in the 2019-2020 session on September 18, 2020 and sent it to the Senate Ways and Means Committee where it died without further action and without a vote by the Senate. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Lydia Edwards 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 April 4-8, the House met for a total of 36 minutes and the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and 46 minutes Mon.

A Common Heart Problem That’s Often Ignored Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about atrial fi brillation? Every so often, I’ve noticed my heart starts beating rapidly for no particular reason. Is this something I should be worried about? Anxious Annie Dear Annie, Heart palpitations can be harmless if they are brief and infrequent. But if you’re experiencing an erratic heart rhythm, you need to get checked out by a doctor for atrial fi brillation, or AFib. AFib – which is marked by rapid, fl uttering beats – can lead to serious complications such as stroke and heart failure, when the weakened heart can’t pump enough blood to the rest of the body. Normally, your heartbeat follows a steady rhythm as your heart contracts and relaxes. But when you have AFib, the upper chambers of your heart (atria) beat rapidly and irregularly, sending blood to the lower chambers (ventricles) less effi ciently. These episodes can last for minutes to hours or longer, and can cause palpitations, lightheadedness, fatigue, and/or shortness of breath. Over time, AFib tends to become chronic. Age is a common risk factor for AFib, which aff ects roughly 10 percent of people older than 75. Other factors include genetics, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and alcohol and tobacco use. The condition has also been linked to viral infections, including COVID-19. Diagnosing AFib If you’re experiencing AFiblike symptoms you need to see your doctor who will listen to your heart and likely recommend an electrocardiogram (EKG) or a treadmill heart test, or you may wear a portable monitor for several weeks to look for abnormal heart rhythms to confi rm a diagnosis of AFib. Such tests can help distinguish AFib from less serious conditions that may cause the heart to fl utter, like anxiety and stress. AFib aff ects some three million adults in the United States, a number that is expected to quadruple in the coming decade as the population ages and risk factors like obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure become even more common. The lifetime risk of developing AFib is greater than 20 percent, yet many people don’t even know they have it. Treatment Options A growing body of research underscores the importance of lifestyle steps such as exercise, a healthy diet, and limiting alcohol for treating AFib. Depending on your age and symptoms, your doctor may prescribe drugs to help control your heart rate, like beta blockers such as metoprolol (Toprol XL); and/or rhythm, such as antiarrhythmics like flecainide (Tambocor). You may also need an electrical cardioversion, an outpatient procedure that delivers an electrical shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. You will be sedated for this brief procedure and not feel the shocks. Catheter ablation is another outpatient treatment for AFib that scars a small area of heart tissue that causes irregular heartbeats. This procedure is becoming more common based on evidence of its safety and ability to normalize the heart rhythm and ease symptoms. Ablations can be eff ective in people 75 and older, but medication may still be required afterward. If you’re at higher risk for stroke, you may be prescribed a blood thinner, too. In the past, Coumadin (warfarin) was the only such drug widely available, but it requires monitoring with regular blood tests. Newer anticoagulants, like apixaban (Eliquis) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto), don’t have that requirement and have been shown to be just as eff ective at preventing strokes.

PARK | FROM Page 1 “At Erricola, certainly the soccer side needs new turfi ng.” Keefe said the baseball fi eld needs new backstops and possibly dugouts and new lighting throughout the park. “It is one of the few high school fields that doesn’t have dugouts,” Keefe said. Lighting would likely be one of the more costly aspects of upgrading the park, Keefe said, but the city could investigate getting help for that portion of the project through grants or through large unions or lighting manufacturers willing to donate some material or manpower for the project. “I certainly think the city would want to invest in rehabbing these parks to bring them up to the status that we all wish to have,” said Keefe. In other business during Monday night’s City Council meeting, Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna requested that Mayor Brian Arrigo look into the city creating a memorial headstone in remembrance of Revere residents who died due to COVID-19. “I want the public to know that 181 souls succumbed to the COVID virus in the city of Revere, and I want the city to create a headstone in remembrance,” said McKenna.
