(Advocate photo) Love Our (Satter House) Calendar Girls! Community Development Tom Skwierawski met with the City Council this week to outline a Tax Increment Exemption (TIE) agreement between the city and HYM Investment Group. In order to move forward with financing the next piece of the Suff olk Downs development, the Portico building, HYM wants to show support for the project. They found that support in the state’s Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) — off ering state tax breaks on residential developments in “Gateway Cities.” However, developers must fi rst demonstrate local support with a break in local taxes. Revere’s TIE agreement on the table would run for 15 years and forgive between around $13 million in tax revenue. However, Skwierawski explained that the city was involved in a separate negotiation with HYM involving benefi ts for Revere, including $4 million in funding. Skwierawski repeatedly stressed HYM’s $4 million pledge to show the loss of revenue was not as severe as it might seem. Keefe spoke at length about the struggling economy and the construction industry, which has been especially hard hit. He spoke about workers in the trades across the board who have been sidelined by work stoppages. The Mayor emphasized the need to bolster HYM so that the development, which promised so much to the city, can be rebooted and thrive. Councillors were clearly frustrated with news of the TIE agreement. “This really rubs me the wrong way,” said Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley. “I began asking questions about the progress on the site, or lack thereof, about a year ago. Every time I raised concerns, I was told everything is fi ne and talk about problems were just rumors,” said Kelley. She went on to say that now the city is being told if TAX | SEE Page 3 GRIN AND BARE IT: Mayor Patrick Keefe and Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya (center) are shown with the lovely ladies of Jack Satter House who donned their “birthday suits” for their risqué calendar fundraiser during a private viewing during their guest appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show recently.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 Councillors send term-limit issue to subcommittee Advocate Staff Report R evere voters may have a chance to weigh in on whether the city should adopt term limits for local elected offi cials. At this week’s City Council meeting, Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley presented a motion for a nonbinding public advisory question, aka, a nonbinding ballot question, on term limits on the ballot in this November’s election. City councillors are divided on the question of term limits. Councillor-at-Large Robert Haas did not oppose a ballot question but he expressed concerns about term limits. “I don’t see the benefi t of placing a timeline on someone’s ability to do their job,” said Haas, adding that decisions on whom to elect should be left to voters. Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna shared that when she fi rst started teaching it took multiple years for her to genuinely understand the job. “I’ve been here 10 1/2 years and there are things that I know now that I didn’t know back then,” said McKenna, adding that even now, when she needs help, she turns to longtime Councillors Anthony Zambuto and Ira Novolselsky. She stressed that time and experience are valuable. Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio said that even with a vote the question of term limits would return to the council, then go to the mayor and then the state legislature, which would have to approve a home rule petition. Argenzio said he doesn’t want voters to get the wrong impression that their vote would decide the issue. Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto again explained his evolving view on term limits, which he opposes. Zambuto didn’t support the proposal for a ballot question not because of his view on term limits, but rather because of his view on nonbinding resolutions. “You don’t get anything out of nonbinding resolutions. They don’t mean anything. They are like a bucket of spit,” said Zambuto in this week’s notable quotable moment.

I want to hear from constituents. I want to enact their will,” said Kelley. As for the argument that elections themselves are term limits, Kelley said the power of incumbency and name recognition is enough to discourage new candidates, with new opinions and fresh ideas, from seeking offi ce. She said that during the last 10 years there have been 31 candidates running unopposed for city offi ces. But, in the last at-Large race, there were three open seats and eight candidates joined the race. Kelley said it is worth it to give voters a voice on term limits and to let the process start with them rather than the City Council. “We can respect the way they feel and decide then how far to take it,” said Kelley, adding that it would empower the community to have a say in how local government is structured. Kelley also said that having councillors decide on term limits is having them vote on their own job security and it creates the Michelle Kelley Councillor-At-Large impression of impropriety. City Council President Marc Silvestri, who filed a motion last week to limit terms for city councillors and school committee members to fi ve two-year terms, said he was withdrawing his motion and joining Kelley as a cosponsor on the ballot question. The council agreed to send Kelley’s motion to the Legislative Aff airs Subcommittee, which will review the proposal on May 12.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 Page 3 Mayor Keefe Announces Pothole Patrol Initiative Use Revere311 to report potholes to be fi lled in your neighborhood R EVERE, MA — Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr. is proud to present his new initiative, Pothole Patrol, coming to a street near you. As the weather begins warming up, City of Revere Department of Public Works crews will be moving from neighborhood to neighborhood, patching holes left in the road from winter storms, plows, and general wear and tear. To activate the Pothole Patrol team, and to get your pesky neighborhood pothole fi lled, dial 311, submit a service request on the Revere311 app, or text PIPER at (844) 30-PIPER (74737). The Department of Public Works relies on resident reports for adequate data, so make sure to send in those potholes! “We understand that our roads bear the burden of winter weather and, during the spring, it’s important to rectify those nuisance potholes to improve your daily commute,” said Mayor Keefe. He continued, “We have the staff - ing and equipment in our Department of Public Works to Argenzio pulls nomination papers for Council reelection make these roadway repairs, and we have Revere311 to ensure that resident reports are catalogued and managed in a timely manner. 311 is our scoreboard: We monitor resident requests throughout the workday in the Mayor’s Offi ce on our 55” dashboard, and follow-up with weekly control checks to ensure that the work has been completed. Pothole Patrol is nothing more than good, practical governance to make those simple, quality-of-life improvements for all residents.” TAX | FROM Page 1 it doesn’t approve the local tax break, the development could be stalled for an entire construction season. “We need the project to go forward because we desperately need the revenue to fund the high school,” said Kelley, who laughed and said, “That’s rich.” Councillor-at-Large Juan Pablo Jaramillo made a motion that HYM should give the city $8 million as part of the separate development negotiation. “Four million is not acceptable,” said Jaramillo, adding that HYM had already gotten a discount on wages for workers on the site. Ward 6 Councillor Paul Argenzio said the city was in a “distasteful position.” But Argenzio also said the city can’t just let the project stall. “We need to make sure this project we’re all relying on continues,” he said. City Council President Marc Silvestri asked if HYM is committed to using local union labor on the site. “Back when things were going good, I was getting calls from the unions telling me there were not enough Revere workers on the site. We need to stand fi rm on that,” he said. The council agreed to table the TIE agreement discussion until May 12, when they will have the fi nal version of the agreement. READY TO GO AGAIN: Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio is shown outside the Elections Department at Revere City Hall recently, displaying his nomination papers for reelection to the ward 4 City Council seat.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 Page 7 BBB Scam Alert: That sponsored ad might be a scam. Here’s how to tell S ponsored content is everywhere online. From the top results of your search engine to the tempting deal you scrolled past on social media — it’s hard to avoid. While most sponsored ads are legitimate, some aren’t. Just as real, trustworthy businesses can purchase sponsored ads to boost their content in your search results or social media feeds, so too can scammers who create impostor websites. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker continues to receive reports from consumers who are tricked into clicking on fake websites that are advertised on search engines and social media as “sponsored.” These scams are not only specifi c to retail websites and merchandise — there are also reports of sponsored ads for fake passport renewal services, healthcare open enrollment websites, lost and found services, puppies for sale, and more. How the scam works: It starts with a simple search. Let’s say you’re looking to buy sneakers, and the top result of your search is a “sponsored” ad for a retailer selling your item. Or you might see a sponsored ad on your social media feed for the same product. You click on the link and are taken to what appears to be a legitimate website. The merchandise might even be majorly discounted, and you think you’re getting a great deal. At checkout, you enter your personal and fi nancial information and make your purchase. At this point, you might never receive your merchandise. If you try to contact the company’s customer support, they might not have a record of your purchase, making you realize that you purchased from a fake website. You might not be able to find the original website that you purchased from, or their contact information might be disabled. How to avoid sponsored ad scams • No matter what, always confi rm you are on a legitimate website. Even if a website is sponsored and shows up at the top of your search results, always confirm that you are on the correct website before making a purchase or entering your personal information. Scammers are easily able to create lookalike websites that seem like the real deal. • Use caution when making purchases through social media shops. Sometimes, THE PAESANI CLUB ANNUAL POLENTA PARTY ANTHONY’S OF MALDEN 105 CANAL STREET MALDEN, MA. 02148 THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2025 6:00PM COCKTAIL HOUR SAVE THE DATE LA MORA CONTEST FEATURING SAL “THE BUMBLE BEE SWALLOWER” BARRESI sponsored ads on social media platforms take you to purchase products on the app’s shop. You might not be able to tell if the retailer or merchandise is legitimate through the app’s shop. If you’re unsure, you can search for the retailer on your own and fi nd their real website to purchase from. • Be wary of too-good-tobe-true deals. Major discounts on otherwise expensive products often trick people into purchasing items on fake websites. If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Do a quick search to compare prices on other sites to get an idea of what the item really costs. BBB | SEE Page 9 If We Happen To Meet By Accident ... You’ll Be Glad You Found Us! BEST!

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 Page 9 City Council Honors A ~ REVERE CIT Y COUNCIL ROUNDUP ~ “The ordinance is more than s they often do, the City Council opened their meeting this week awarding commendations to individuals and organizations that have made contributions to the community or completed notable achievements. This week it took some time. The council first awarded a commendation to the Revere Karate Academy in recognition of their 45th anniversary of being in business. Next was a commendation for Paul Baglio in recognition of his valiant battle against a rare form of cancer. Lieutenant Robert Impemba was honored for organizing a police escort for Baglio. And finally, RHS basketball varsity star Ethan Day was awarded a commendation in recognition of his status as the 2024-25 Greater Boston League Co-MVP and for scoring 1,000 career points. New Building, No Changes T he council held a public hearing on the special permit application for 250 Lee Burbank Highway LLC to raze the building at 250 Lee Burbank Highway and reconstruct a two-story office building with 26 parking spaces. The developer will be building in the existing footprint and no changes are planned. The council referred the application to the Zoning Subcommittee for review.

The permit was subject to conditions set by site plan review, and the Zoning Subcommittee including parking restrictions and hours of operation. ADU Rules T he council approved amendments to the city’s ordinance regulating accessory dwelling units, as recommended by the Zoning Subcommittee. The most signifi cant change is a prohibition on variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. New curb cuts and driveway entrances are also forbidden, as are additional ADUs on one site. suffi cient to protect the city. It meets the goal of allowing inlaw apartments for seniors without the state’s one-size-fi ts-all mandate for ADUs,” said Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley. Revere Power Choice T he council heard a presentation on Revere Power Choice, a municipal aggregation plan for electricity. The plan involves Revere purchasing electricity for the entire city from a supplier other than National Grid. Residents and businesses will still receive electricity through National Grid wires and poles but the electricity will be from another supplier. Although there is no guarantee, the hope is that the city’s collective purchasing power may result in reduced rates. Revere Power choice does, however, guarantee some cost stability with prices holding steady for 30 months. National Grid changes their pricing every six months, and ratepayers are subject to unseen price hikes. According to several councillors, the biggest problem residents have with the program is the automatic enrollment. But residents can withdraw from the program at any time. For more information about the program, go to Reverepowerchoice.com. Imbrasico Way C ouncillors supported Ward 6 Councillor Paul Argenzio’s motion to name the four-footwide footpath running from 201 Arnold St. to 688 Park Ave. Imbrasico Way in recognition of the Imbrasico family who live at 201 Arnold St. and have helped maintain the path for decades. Argenzio also called for signs at both ends of the path that identify it as Imbrasico Way. Squire Road Safety W ard 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro presented a motion calling on MassDOT to paint new lines, repair potholes and install additional lighting on Squire Road.

NEW HIGHER $82,044 BASE SALARY FOR REPRESENTATIVES — The base salary for the state’s 160 state representatives rose from $73,655 for the 2023-2024 session to $82,044 for the 20252026 session. That’s an 11.39 percent hike which means an additional $8,389 per representative. The estimated price O f Revere. On Saturday, April 26th, aff ectionately known as “Grammy” and “Ma”, peacefully left this world at the age of 97. A lifelong Massachusetts native, Irene grew up in East Boston and later made her home in Revere. Born to Virginia Williams and Americo Nuzzo, and raised alongside her sister Marie Ventura, with the loving guidance of her stepfather Frank Williams, Irene learned early the values of hard work, resilience, and compassion. She carried those lessons into every chapter of her life. Irene found the utmost joy in her family and friends — whether it was in the sound of cards shuffl ing and laughter echoing during their regular games of poker or gifting her famous homemade mushroom pizza to those that she loved. She believed that good food, a shared joke, or a simple act of kindness could make any day better — and she lived that belief every single day. She was not one to sit still for long. Irene’s determinatag for the hikes is $1,342,240. Gov. Maura Healey announced these hikes in January. Under state law, Legislative salaries are up for adjustment in January every two years, either up or down, under a 1998 constitutional amendment approved by a better than twoto-one margin by voters. It requires that every two years the salaries of the governor, the other fi ve constitutional statewide offi cers and the state’s 160 representatives be increased or decreased based on data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. tion and work ethic shone through in everything she did, from running her own Avon business to working with the American Heart Association, to caring for her elderly clients with unmatched tenderness as a home aide. Even into her later years, Irene took pride in her independence — there was always a list to complete, a job to fi nish, or most importantly, someone to help. She is survived by her daughters Gail and Donna Schifano, and her sons Charles Schifano and his wife Marilyn, and Robert Schifano, and her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Nothing brought her more pride than watching her family grow and thrive, each new generation carrying forward her legacy of strength and love. Though our hearts ache at her passing, we fi nd comfort in knowing that Irene’s spirit lives on — in every homemade meal we share, and every Christmas Eve fi lled with laughter. She showed us how to live with humor, grit, and boundless love, and for that, we will always be grateful. Family and friends were invited to celebrate Irene’s life on Wednesday, April 30th , in the Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals, Revere. Followed by interment in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett. In lieu of fl owers, the family asks that donations be made in Irene’s memory to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (https://www.pulmonaryfi brosis.org). It also requires that the same formula be used every two years to increase or decrease the stipends that 108 representatives receive for their service in Democratic or Republican leadership positions, as committee chairs or vice chairs and as the ranking Republican on some committees. Representatives’ base salaries were $46,410 when the voters approved the automatic pay adjustments in 1998. Since that time, the salaries have been increased every two years except for a $306 pay cut for the 20112012 session; an $1,100 pay cut BEACON | SEE Page 16
Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 BEACON | FROM Page 15 for the 2013-2014 session; and a salary freeze for the 2015-2016 legislative session. The new $82,044 salary means that the base House salary has been raised $35,634 or 76.7 percent, since the mandated salary adjustment became part of the state constitution in 1998. $22,430.96 OR $29,907.95 FOR GENERAL EXPENSES — Each representative also receives an annual general expense pay allowance of $22,430.96 for members who live within a 50-mile radius of the Statehouse and $29,907.95 for those who are located outside of that radius. This separate, flat rate expense allowance is taxable as income. It is designed to pay for some of the costs of representatives’ district offi ces and other expenses including contributions to local civic groups and the printing and mailing of newsletters. Representatives are not required to submit an accounting of how they spend the money, but they are allowed to deduct any expenses, permitted under federal law, from their gross income on their federal and state tax return. EXTRA PAY FOR 108 REPRESENTATIVES — One hundred and eight of the state’s 160 representatives receive an additional stipend, ranging from $7,776.07 to $119,631.81, above the $82,044.31 base salary, for their positions in the Democratic and Republican leadership, as committee chairs, vice chairs and the ranking Republican on some committees. The stipend is increased or decreased every two years based on data from the BEA that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) the top Democrat, earns the highest stipend of any representatives: $119,631.81. House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading), the top Republican, earns an $89,723.85 stipend. Here are the top fi ve representatives who are paid the highest salaries including the three categories of base pay, stipends and general expense pay allowance: Reps. Ronald Mariano (DQuincy) $224,107.08; Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston) $201,676.11; Bradley Jones (RNorth Reading) $194,199.12; Michael Moran (D-Brighton) $194,199.12; and Kate Hogan (D-Stow) $179,245.15. The 34 representatives who receive the lowest salary of $104,475.27 are: Reps. James Arena-DeRosa (D-Holliston); Michelle Badger (D-Plymouth); Michael Chaisson (R-Foxboro); Manny Cruz (DSalem); David DeCoste (R-Norwell); Rodney Elliott (D-Lowell); Dennis Gallagher (D-Bridgewater); Colleen Garry (D-Dracut); John Gaskey (R-Carver); Ryan Hamilton (D-Methuen); Tara Hong (D-Lowell); Vanna Howard (D-Lowell); Kristin Kassner (D-Hamilton); Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate); David LeBoeuf (DWorcester); Marc Lombardo (RBillerica); Bill MacGregor (D-Boston); Joan Meschino (D-Hull); John Moran (D-South End); Francisco Paulino (D-Methuen); Bridget Plouffe (D-Brockton); Sean Reid (D-Lynn); Amy Sangiolo (D-Newton); Margaret Scarsdale (D-Pepperell); Gregory Schwartz (D-Newton); Danillo Sena (D-Acton); Dawne Shand (D-Newburyport); Priscila Sousa (D-Framingham); Alyson Sullivan-Almeida (R-Abington); Kenneth Sweezey (R-Hanson); Joshua Tarsky (D-Needham); Erika Uyterhoeven (D-Somerville); Marcus Vaughn (R-Wrentham); and Richard Wells (D-Milton). PARKING SPACES — Legislators are entitled to a parking space inside the Statehouse garage or at the nearby McCormack State Offi ce Building. For 2025, the fi rst $325 in monthly value of the space is a tax-free benefi t under federal and state guidelines that apply to all public and private employees, not just state legislators. Any value of the space above this amount is treated as taxable income. The value of the parking spaces in 2025 was determined by the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to be $477 per month. Based on that figure, legislators would be taxed on the excess $152 monthly by the Internal Revenue Service and the state. HEALTH INSURANCE — Representatives are eligible to choose from 11 health insurance plans off ered by the state’s Group Insurance Commission, which manages the plans for 259,929 individuals—current and retired state workers, as well as certain municipal workers and their dependents. Representatives elected on or before July 1, 2003, pay 20 percent of the total premium and the state pays 80 percent. Those elected to their fi rst term on or after July 1, 2003 pay 25 percent while the state picks up only 75 percent. State and federal privacy regulations protect this information and it is not possible to obtain records about which plans individual legislators have purchased. The outof-pocket monthly premiums paid by representatives for family plans range from $369.98 to $655.62 per month. For individual plans, they pay from $149.82 to $300.64 per month. LIFE INSURANCE — Representatives who purchase a health insurance policy from the state are also required to buy the state’s basic $5,000 life insurance policy. The costs for employees are based on age and whether the employee is a smoker or non-smoker. They range from 4 cents per month to $2.49 per month. The same 20/80 25/75 formula used for health insurance also applies to this life insurance. Representatives also have the option to buy additional life insurance with a value of up to eight times their salary — up to a maximum of $1.5 million. The entire premium for the optional insurance is paid by the representative. LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE AND HEALTH CARE SPENDING ACCOUNT — Representatives also have the option to open a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP), and to buy longterm disability insurance. The HCSA allows representatives to set aside funds to pay for outof-pocket health care expenses with before-tax dollars while the DCAP allows them to set aside funds to pay for certain dependent care expenses with before-tax dollars. This participation reduces their federal and state income taxes. The entire premium for long-term disability is paid by representatives. DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE — Representatives are eligible to choose one of two dental/vision insurance plans. Current monthly employee premium costs paid by representatives for family plans range from $15.16 to $20.52, while individual plans range from $4.91 to $6.64. All representatives pay 15 percent of the premium and the state pays 85 percent. REPRESENTATIVES WHO LIVE 50 MILES FROM THE STATEHOUSE ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO PAY A REDUCED OR NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON THEIR LEGISLATIVE SALARY — For many years until recently, representatives who live more than 50 miles from the Statehouse were eligible for a special federal tax break. A 1981 federal law allowed them to write off a daily expense allowance when fi ling their federal income tax return. The complicated system determined a daily amount, ostensibly for meals, lodging and other expenses incurred in the course of their jobs, which can be deducted for every “legislative day.” Under the Massachusetts Legislature’s system and schedule, every day of the year qualifi es as a legislative day. The Legislature does not formally “prorogue” (end an annual session) until the next annual session begins. This allowed representatives to take the deduction for all 365 days regardless of whether the Legislature is actually meeting or not. Representatives did not even have to travel to the Statehouse to qualify for the daily deduction. The amount of the deduction was based on the federal per diem for Massachusetts. It varied from year to year. The daily per diem for representatives for fi scal year 2023, the last year this deduction was allowed, varied in diff erent parts of the state and was seasonal. It ranged from $98 per day to $459 per day or between $35,770 and $167,535 annually. Beacon Hill Roll Call’s research indicated that in fiscal year 2023, 41 of the state’s 160 representatives lived more than 50 miles from the Statehouse, qualifi ed for this deduction and were eligible to pay a reduced or no federal income tax on their legislative salaries. REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR PER DIEMS — Legislators are no longer entitled to collect “per diems” to reimburse them for mileage, meals and lodging expenses for travel from their home to the Statehouse. These reimbursements were discontinued in 2017. They were not taxable income and ranged from $10 per day for legislators who reside in the greater Boston area to $82 for Western Massachusetts lawmakers and $100 for those in Nantucket.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 Page 17 ry for local representatives including the three categories of base pay, stipends and general expense pay allowance. Rep. Jessica Giannino $126,906.23 Rep. Jeff Turco $112,251.34 ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING — The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on several bills including: PROTECT SURVIVORS OF SPOUSAL ABUSE FROM ALIMONY PAYMENTS (S 1236) — Would give the courts the authority to terminate alimony payments and deny future alimony petitions if the spouse receiving the payments has been convicted of spousal abuse. The bill defi nes “abuse” as including “attempting to cause or causing physical harm, placing a spouse in fear of imminent serious physical harm and causing a spouse to engage involuntarily in sexual relations by force, threat or duress.” “Every year, more than 12 million people in the U.S. experience violence by an intimate partner,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow). “Yet, in Massachusetts, it is possible for survivors of spousal abuse, who have already taken the near impossible step of leaving an abusive marriage, to be required to pay alimony to their abuser after they escape that relationship.” He noted that he fi led the measure to ensure that survivors are protected from further abuse. DISABLED ADULTS AND CHILD CUSTODY (S 1164) — Would prevent a parent’s disability to be considered a negative factor in determining custody or parenting time with a child unless there is specific evidence that there is a link with the parent’s disability and a child’s alleged harm. It must also show that this harm cannot be prevented or alleviated by accommodation. “Parents with disabilities sometimes lose custody of their children due to their disabilities,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “This bill seeks to address this issue by requiring courts to fi nd evidence of any harms when making custody decisions, explained in writing, and requiring supportive measures when appropriate that can be taken to avoid harm to the parents and their children. It will potentially help keep families together.” DIGITAL ASSETS OF THE DECEASED (S 1048) — Would establish regulations over what happens to a decedent’s digital assets including social media, e-mail and online accounts. Supporters said that people are unlikely to specifi cally designate control over these assets in a will, and companies have a patchwork of diff erent policies on the subject or no policies at all. They noted that this often gives companies discretion over whether to provide access to an account, and family members can be left with no ability to retrieve important information, particularly in the event of an unexpected death. “At the moment, there is legal uncertainty about what happens to a person’s digital assets—their email, social media and other online accounts— when they pass away,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (DNewton). “[The bill] would make it easy to determine who, if anyone, should have access to a deceased person’s online accounts. It would also establish procedures and safeguards to prevent inappropriate disclosure of the deceased’s private communications. The legislation protects privacy while also ensuring that there is clarity about who may access the digital assets of someone who has died.” HEALTH CARE SURROGATE (S 1047) — Would create a process for handling the care of incapacitated patients who don’t have a health care proxy. The measure would allow attending physicians to appoint surrogate decision makers and identifi es several candidates for that role, including the incapacitated patient’s spouse, unless legally separated, parent, adult child or adult sibling. Under current law, Massachusetts health care providers must go through the diffi cult process of seeking a judicially appointed medical guardian before even routine decisions about care can be made. Then, after a medical guardian is appointed, some decisions, including those related to transfers to nursing facilities, require additional judicial approval. These cumbersome processes are a disservice to incapacitated patients, whose care can be delayed by weeks. A surrogate would not be empowered to make decisions about transferring the patient to an inpatient mental health facility nor be able to make any “extraordinary” decisions about life support, sterilization and abortion. Those decisions would continue to be determined by a court. “Massachusetts is one of only four states without a statute allowing for the appointment of a health care surrogate when an incapacitated patient does not have a designated proxy,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Cream. “[The bill] would create a more practical process for making medical decisions in such cases, while preserving important safeguards. Certain decisions would still require additional judicial approval, ensuring continued oversight. The bill strikes a careful balance by allowing timely care decisions to be made in the patient’s best interest, while respecting their rights and aligning as closely as possible with their known values and wishes.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Massachusetts has some of the most beautiful state parks in the country, and it takes all of us to preserve them for generations to come. In honor of Earth Day, it’s nice to get outside and celebrate our natural spaces.” ---Gov. Maura Healey who along with First Lady Joanna Lydgate, visited Torbert MacDonald State Park in Medford to celebrate Earth Day. “Massachusetts is hemorrhaging private sector jobs, and the Healey administration’s answer is to bloat the government at a time when our state’s fi scal wellbeing is in a very tenuous position. This isn’t job growth— it’s political insulation, and taxpayers are the ones footing the bill.” ---Paul Craney, executive director of the Mass Fiscal Alliance on newly released employment data which he says revealed a net loss of 24,800 private sector jobs over the last year. “When employers violate our laws, including through wage theft and untimely payments, workers are unfairly harmed, exploited and financially deprived. My office will continue to enforce our laws to protect and empower workers, reminding employers that Massachusetts is serious about workers’ rights.” ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell announcing that Swissport, a North Carolinabased airport services company that employs workers at Boston’s Logan Airport, will pay $3.1 million In restitution and penalties to resolve allegations, including failure to make timely payments and pay overtime to more than 2,000 airport workers. “The persistent increase in antisemitic incidents over the past fi ve years is a stark reminder that antisemitism continues to impact our communities. Particularly concerning is the continued proliferation of extremist incidents and the rise of attacks against Orthodox Jews. The alarming manifestations of antisemitism in 2024 instill fear and are reminders that much work remains to be done.” --- Samantha Joseph, AntiDefamation League New England’s Regional Director, on the group’s annual audit of antisemitic incidents reporting a total of 638 incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism in 2024 within the fi ve-state region of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. She said that this is the fi fth year in a row that antisemitic incidents increased and broke the previous all-time high in 2023.

The fact that Mike Kennealy admits that he didn’t even make a choice for President in three of the most consequential elections of our lifetime is a sad statement on his leadership.” --- Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Steve Kerrigan on Republican candidate for governor Mike Kennealy’s acknowledgement that he did not vote for a president in the last three elections in 2016, 2020 and 2024, when Donald Trump was on the ballot. “If the MassDems care about strong leadership on issues like housing, the migrant crisis and the economy, their options are support Mike Kennealy or recruit a primary challenger to Maura Healey. She has failed miserably on all of the issues Massachusetts residents care about.” --- Ben Hincher, campaign manager for Mike Kennealy, responding to Democratic Party Chair Steve Kerrigan. 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.

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.

How to Protect Yourself from Identity Theft Scams Dear Savvy Senior, I am very concerned about Elon Musk and the so-called DOGE team getting access to my Social Security number and personal fi nancial information through their government offi ce raids. What can I personally do to help protect myself from this identity theft mess? Worried Senior Dear Worried, It’s a great question! I’ve been hearing from many older readers around the country that are deeply troubled by the news that the Elon Muskled Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been granted access to millions of Americans’ Social Security records that include highly sensitive personal information. The major concern among data privacy experts is what could happen if your Social Security number, bank account information or tax records somehow gets leaked or breeched in all the data shuffl ing. If your information gets in the wrong hands it could lead to identity theft, which means scammers could use your personal information to open credit card accounts, bank accounts, telephone service accounts, and make major purchases — all in your name. If you’re concerned about the privacy of your personal information, the best way to protect yourself is to put a “fraud alert,” or better yet a “credit freeze” on your credit fi le. A fraud alert is a notifi cation placed on your credit report that signals to potential creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before extending credit in your name. While a credit freeze completely restricts access to your credit report, essentially preventing anyone from opening new accounts in your name without your explicit authorization. A credit freeze provides much stronger protection than a fraud alert, but there is a drawback. When you freeze your credit, you won’t be able to open new credit cards or get a new loan while the freeze in place. It does not, however, prevent you from using the credit cards you already have open. If you do need to get a new credit card or some type of loan, you can always lift the freeze on your account until you get the card or loan approved, and then refreeze it. You’ll also be happy to know that a credit freeze is completely free to put in place and lift, as are fraud alerts. And neither action will aff ect your credit score. Fraud Alert Set-Up To set up a fraud alert, you’ll need to contact one of the three major credit reporting bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — either by phone, online or by mail. You only need to contact one of these agencies, and they will notify the other two. Here’s the phone and website contact information for each of the three bureaus. • Equifax: 800-685-1111 or Equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services • Experian: 888-397-3742 or Experian.com/help • TransUnion: 888-909-8872 or TransUnion.com/credit-help If you haven’t been a victim of identity theft, you’ll need to set up an “initial fraud alert,” which lasts for one year, although you can renew it for additional one-year periods. Credit Freeze Set-Up To set up a credit freeze you’ll need to contact each of the three previously listed credit reporting bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. A credit freeze lasts until you unfreeze it. But remember, before you apply for new credit card or loan, you’ll need to temporarily lift the security freeze by following the procedures from each of the credit reporting bureaus where you placed the freeze. If, however, you don’t want to set up a fraud alert or credit freeze, you can still keep an eye on your credit fi le by reviewing your credit report regularly. You can get a free credit report each week from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion by going to AnnualCreditReport.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 Page 19 Revere baseball’s culture shift starts with effort, not just wins By Dom Nicastro R evere High’s baseball program is under new leadership this spring, with fi rst-year head coach Sebastian Salvo bringing a wealth of experience to the dugout. A former Division 1 player and college assistant, Salvo is focused on building a culture of accountability, hard work and team-fi rst eff ort. Through fi ve games, the Patriots are off to a 3-4 start (3-3 in the Greater Boston League), which placed them at No. 44 in the 60-team Division 1 MIAA power rankings. But Salvo sees signs of progress—especially in the team’s pitching staff —and believes better days are ahead if the group can stay disciplined at the plate. We caught up with Salvo for a wide-ranging Q&A about the season so far, standout players like junior Domenic Bellia, and what it will take for Revere to make a push in the second half of the schedule. Advocate: Can you give me a little background on yourself as a player and coach? Salvo: I played high school baseball at Tabor Academy in Marion. After Tabor, I attended Fairfi eld University in Connecticut where I was a fouryear starter at catcher and fi rst base. During my college career, I played summer ball for the New Bedford Baysox in the NECBL and the Wareham Gatemen in the CCBL. I served as a volunteer assistant coach at Fairfi eld University (NCAA D1) 2015-2016. I have coached travel ball and worked as a private instructor for Baysox Baseball since 2017. I served as an assistant coach at Salve Regina University (NCAA D3) 2020-2021 where we won our conference and participated in the NCAA D3 Tournament. I served as the head coach at Pomfret School in Pomfret, Conn., 2021-2023. Advocate: How would you assess the team’s performance so far at this point in the season? Salvo: So far at this point in the season our pitching has given us chances to be in every game, but we have not been able to capitalize on opportunities with runners in scoring position. The team has been working hard to cut down our strikeouts at the plate and consistently make the routine plays in the fi eld. Overall, the boys have been working hard every day and buying into the culture that our coaching staff is trying to establish. Advocate: What have been some of the biggest improvements you’ve seen since the start of the season? Salvo: Since the start of the season, I have seen a massive improvement in the way our players approach practice. They are working hard and open to coaching through their mistakes. The team has been a cohesive unit so far, and as a coach that is all you can ask for: kids who work hard together and pull for each other. Advocate: Are there any players who have really stepped up and taken on leadership roles, either on or off the fi eld? Salvo: Junior Domenic Bellia has been outstanding for us this season on the mound and at the plate. On the mound he is 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA with 27 K in 18 ? IP. At the plate he has a.458 batting average, 1.125 ops, three RBI, two doubles and one HR. Captains Brendan Sack, Ismael El Gharbi and Joe Angiulo have been great leaders for our team setting the tone every day and making sure the team is meeting the expectations we set for them. Advocate: Obviously, we all live and die by our pitching. How is that going? Salvo: In addition to Domenic, sophomore George Papalambros and senior Ismael El Gharbi have performed well for us on the mound. George is 1-0 with a 1.90 ERA with 21 K in 11 IP. Ismael has been our top reliever with a 1.55 ERA through 9 IP. Advocate: What are some things the team still needs to work on heading into the second half of the season? Salvo: Of course as a coach, there is always work to do, and the goal is to always work on every facet of the game as much as you can but our priority going into the second half of the season is defi nitely to have more competitive at-bats and strike out less. We are striking out too much and leaving too many runners on the bases. Good things happen when you put the ball in play, and we need to do more of that. Advocate: How are things going at the plate, and who in particular is getting the job done there? Salvo: Domenic Bellia:.458 avg., 1.125 ops. HR, three RBI, six runs; George Papalambros:.316 avg.,.803 OPS, six RBI; Brendan Sack:.312 avg., 1.042 ops, HR, RBI Advocate: What are your expectations and hopes for the rest of the season as you approach the stretch run? Salvo: My expectation is we are going to turn this thing around and become a more competitive team. Our group is capable of more than what we have shown so far. Our players will not shy away from the work that needs to be done, and I believe they will do what it takes to get us back on track. The game of baseball responds to hard work, good intention and executing on a pitch-by-pitch basis. Our hope is to be more consistent in those areas and compete for the GBL and an opportunity to participate in the MIAA State tournament. ~ RHS PATRIOTS SPRING SPORTS ROUNDUP ~ Softball splits two, girls track shines at invitational, volleyball sweeps Lawrence By Dom Nicastro R evere High School’s Spring teams were back in full swing this past week, with the varsity softball team picking up a dominant win and a hard-fought loss, girls track putting up top performances at the MSTCA Invitational and boys volleyball sweeping Lawrence behind balanced off ensive and defensive eff orts. Revere softball splits week, tops Northeast Metro with big third inning T he Revere varsity softball team posted a 1-1 week, highlighted by a 17-1 road win over Northeast Metro RVT on Friday, April 25. Revere erupted for 12 runs in the third inning, sparked by an offensive surge that included a two-run single by Lea Doucette, a tworun home run from Frankie Reed and a three-run homer from Jordan Martelli. Shayna Smith added an RBI double, and Zizi Kalliavas and Danni Hope Randall chipped in with run-scoring singles. Randall earned the win, pitching fi ve innings and allowing just one hit and one unearned run while striking out nine and walking four. Smith went 3-for-4 to lead the team in hits, while Martelli and Reed each drove in three runs. Revere totaled 11 hits and drew 15 walks, with Doucette, Caleigh Joyce, Reed and Brianna Miranda each earning three. Doucette also stole two bases. Earlier in the week, Revere dropped an 11-7 game to Lynn Classical. Doucette hit a solo home run in the fi rst and went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Reed doubled and had three hits, while Kalliavas also had three hits and stole three bases. Randall pitched all seven innings in the loss, allowing 11 runs on 12 hits with six strikeouts and 10 walks. Revere was scheduled on Wednesday, April 30, to take on Lynn English on the road. Sekkat, Stamatopoulos lead Revere girls track at MSTCA Invitational T he Revere High School girls track and fi eld team delivered standout performances at the MSTCA Invitational & Pentathlon, led by senior Nisrin Sekkat and junior Gemma Stamatopoulous. “Our top performer was senior Nisrin Sekkat who took third place overall in the Javelin with a throw of 80-9. This is a huge toss for Nisrin and only seven feet off the fi rstplace finisher,” said head coach Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli. “This throw shows she has the potential to make it to D1 States this year.” Stamatopoulous placed sixth in both the 400-meter hurdles (1:14.33, tying her PR and a state qualifi er) and the 800-meter (2:32.16). “Watching Gemma’s 400-meter hurdle race you can see she has so much room to grow in this event. Once she nails down the hurdle form and steps in between the hurdle she will break 70,” said MacDonaldCiambelli. ROUNDUP | SEE Page 21
