In addition to the featured race, there are fi ve other races carded on the turf for Saturday. Over the course of the weekend, there will be four stakes races restricted to horses foaled in Massachusetts – the $50,000 Rise Jim Stakes and the $50,000 Isadorable Stakes on Saturday along with the $50,000 African Prince Stakes and $50,000 George F.

And, we look at this fi nal season of live racing here as a celebration as we continue to work with the New England HBPA and the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association on our plan to restore and refurbish the Great Barrington Fair Grounds in order to preserve live racing and its related economic and agricultural benefi ts in the state.” Prior to resuming live racing, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Safety & Integrity Alliance extended Suff olk Downs’ accreditation. The track has continuously maintained its status since receiving its initial Alliance accreditation in 2011. Alliance certifi cation standards address an extensive list of safety and integrity concerns within six broad areas: injury reporting and prevention; creating a safer racing environment; uniform medication and testing; jockey health and welfare; aftercare and transition of retired racehorses; and wagering security. Post time for the 11 race card is at 12:55 p.m. and gates open at 11:00 a.m. In addition to live racing, the track will be hosting a food truck festival featuring food trucks from numerous local vendors, craft beer, live music and family fun activities.

We don’t thank them enough.” Biggio plans on doing this event every year as “long as Revere lets me,” he said. “It’s indents wanted to interview them. “We got to talk more broadly, such as responding to the infamous ‘Why should I hire you?’ question,” Verrengia said. “They didn’t come to me because they wanted to be an accountant, but rather to take everything in.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. spiring to see how our annual motorcycle ride continues to grow exponentially each year with more riders, more sponsors and others who want to join in on the festivities at Suffolk Downs hours and hours after our ride ends,” said Biggio. “The fi ve brave veterans we’re honoring fought on our behalf to ensure our freedom and encountered life-impacting results for doing so. The least we can do is ride for them to show how much we value their patriotism and appreciate the sacrifi ces they made.” The veterans would love to see supporters line the route to honor the wounded vets who will be transported along the run route.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 17, 2019 Page 5 City, MBTA announce: “There’s a CharlieCard for everyone at City Hall” I t’s now easier for everyone to obtain an MBTA CharlieCard. The cards are available from the Healthy Community Initiatives offi ce on the lower level of Revere City Hall during regular City Hall business hours. “We’re always glad when City Hall can make life a little easier for our residents,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “With the MBTA moving more and more of their operation to automated processes, obtaining a Charlie Pass is the most convenient way to have ready access and take advantage of reduced fares on both the train and bus lines. And the cards can be loaded several diff erent ways, including the convenience of a few simple steps on the internet.” The cards can be loaded with monetary value for subway or bus fares at the MBTA Train Stations, participating convenience stores in Revere and online at the MyCharlie Account Center on the MBTA’s webpage. Having a CharlieCard can save a rider time and money. Using a CharlieCard to board a train reduces a rider’s one-way fare by $.50 and reduces one’s bus fare by $.30. The MBTA off ers discounted CharlieCards for Seniors 65+, people with disabilities and students. Senior 65+ CharlieCard registration will be held at the Rossetti Cowen Senior Center (25 Winthrop Ave.) on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Seniors should have with them a picture ID, such as a valid Massachusetts Driver’s License, Massachusetts ID Card or a valid Passport. Passes will be mailed to the applicant’s home. The Youth Pass is for youngsters age 12-18 not enrolled in middle or high school or young adults age 18-25 enrolled in an accepted GED, job training, or state or federal benefit program. Verification of eligibility is completed at the Revere Public Library (179 Beach St.). Passes will be mailed to the applicant’s address. Student Passes for Revere’s middle school or high school aged students are available at Revere High School. “I am very pleased to have off ered this motion and equally pleased that is was approved by Mayor Arrigo,” said Ward 3 Councillor/City Council President Arthur Guinasso. “Providing access to CharlieCards will help our residents access the MBTA’s rail and bus lines. Many of the residents I have spoken with did not know how to obtain a CharlieCard and that there is a discounted pass for Senior 65+. The current construction on the Tobin Bridge will create additional traffi c on our roads and in our neighborhoods for the next few years. Having the CharlieCards readily available for our residents to ride instead of driving their vehicles will relieve some of the traffi c.” The MBTA will be switching to AFC 2.0, a cashless fare system, in late 2020 or early 2021. The MBTA will not accept cash on buses or trolleys once this system is in place. Riders will need a preloaded CharlieCard before boarding. The City’s goal in promoting and distributing CharlieCards to its residents will ease the transition from cash to card once the AFC 2.0 fare system is operational.

Salem State freshmen Brett Deukmejian, Britney McCarthy, Joice Oliveira, Laura Crystal and Taylor Tenaglia were inducted into the honor society along with other fi rst year students who achieved a 3.6 GPA or higher as part of the eighth class inducted into the Salem State chapter. The first year students, along with their friends and family, attended the 20192020 Alpha Lambda Delta induction ceremony, which took place at Veterans Hall in the Ellison Campus center on Feb. 22. During the induction ceremony, new members were sworn into the society and awarded a membership pin and certifi cate. The Alpha Lambda Delta executive board spoke at the event about the impact that membership has had on their academic success. Along with student and professional staff from the First Year Experience Offi ce, other members of the Salem State community were featured as speakers for the event. Salem State University Provost and Academic Vice President David Silva congratulated and encouraged the first year students on their honor. “As students who have figured out the necessary skills and strategies to be successful, I want to challenge you to give back to your fellow students,” said Silva. “I hope that you will take on the role of menMetropolitan Beaches Commission To Hold Regional Review on Saturday, May 18th at UMASS Boston he Metropolitan Beaches Commission (MBC) will hold a public hearing on Saturday, May 18th from 10 am – 12 pm at the UMass Boston Campus Center 3rd Floor Ballroom C to review the preliminary results of the Commission's public hearings held in Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull. The MBC was created by T the Legislature in 2007. It was made a permanent legislative commission in 2014, charged with making findings and recommendations to improve management and maintenance on the region’s public beaches from Nahant to Nantasket owned by the Commonwealth and managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). The Commission is cochaired by Senator Brendan Crighton of Lynn and Representative RoseLee Vincent of Revere, and has been led and managed since its inception in partnership with Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. This hearing is open to the public, and will give the nearly 500 people who took part in local MBC hearings in 2018 and 2019 the opportunity to make sure that the Commission accurately captured their hopes and concerns for their beach. On June 4th, the MBC will hold a public hearing at the State House to hear from the DCR on their plans for the metropolitan region’s public beaches in 2019.

Fielding) Boston FC Soccer returns to Della Russo Stadium Sunday, May 26 In three previous visits to BOSTON – Boston City FC resumes a four-match road trip on Wednesday night, traveling to face New York Athletic Club (NYAC), and then visits the Brooklyn Italians on Saturday. The club’s National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) form requires an immediate upturn in results if the Lions are to press for a Northeast Region playoff place from the North Atlantic Conference. A hard-earned point away to Hartford City in a 3-3 draw was followed by an unexpected 6-0 home thrashing in the return match and a 5-0 defeat to the potentially unstoppable New York Cosmos last Saturday. Boston City held the star-studded Cosmos goalless at halftime but eventually succumbed to some deadly fi nishing. “I think we came out with a diff erent mindset and the result felt a little unfair,” said Boston City coach Michael Bustamante of the loss to the Cosmos. “We’re obviously a young team going up against a very experienced opponent. I think we were pleased with the amount of the work the guys put in. We made it very diffi - cult for them in the fi rst half, and then we ran out of gas, but mostly that was down to the inexperience.” Wednesday night’s opponent NYAC went down 2-0 to the Cosmos in their opening match and bounced back a week later with a convincing 4-1 win over the Rhode Island Reds. Bustamante hopes to have a full squad at his disposal, despite the challenging midweek kickoff time of 5 p.m., and his options include again inserting himself into the midfi eld, as he did away to the Cosmos. “It’s tough to play and coach at the same time, but I think it worked well, with me being vocal, but it’s a little harder to get guys to follow your lead when you’re not on the sideline,” he said. “We’ve still got some work to do, and I don’t anticipate being in there every game, but this was defi - nitely one of those opportunities where my experience could help.” NYAC, the Lions have won (2-0 in 2017), lost (0-1 in 2018) and drawn (0-0 in 2016). The Brooklyn Italians have played just once this season, positing a convincing 5-2 victory over Hartford City. Boston City have ventured to Brooklyn only once before when Bustamante was on target during a 5-2 midweek defeat in 2016. He scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 Lions home win in the return match.

(Advocate Photos by Tara Vocino) By Tara Vocino G arfi eld Middle School students recently put on a stellar performance of “Beauty and the Beast.” The production tells the story of a beautiful enchantress disguised as an old beggar woman who arrives at a castle during a ball and offers a rose in return for shelter from a storm. She eventually falls in love with the Beast, but only after a series of dramatic events. James Ortiz, who played the Beast, said the role is nerve-wracking because he didn’t know what would happen. “I prepared as much as I could, but I’ve never played a lead role,” James said. His favorite scenes were where he gives Belle gifts and talks to her about dancing and where he confesses his love for Belle. Julianna Marchese, who played Belle, said her hard work paid off . A member of Boston Children’s Chorus, the soprano singer was nervous about her voice being shaky. Her favorite scenes were where she performs “Home,” The cast of “Beauty and the Beast” which is about being homesick, and “Something There,” with the ensemble. Teo Hood, the antagonist, said the fi rst scene was the hardest – having never sung in front of an audience before. After the performance, audience members told The Revere Advocate what they thought of the play. Angus Baker called it the best performance of “Beauty and the Beast” that he’s ever seen. He never saw anyone bake as well as the baker, who was played by Luna Merry. “The choreography was good enough to miss the fi rst game, second round of the Boston Bruins playoff s,” he said. Melissa Reynoso called it a beautiful play. Her favorite scene is when Madame DLGB, who was played by Kaylianna Rodriguez, tells Belle to get dressed for dinner. She also liked the classic scene where the Beast turns into a prince and Belle kisses him and falls in love. Five-year-old Melanie Jimenez said the play was amazing. Her favorite scene is when Gaston, who was played by Teo Hood, bragged about his strength in an attempt to win Belle’s heart. The directors also shared their thoughts on the performance. Co-director Steve Flannery said it was fantastic watching the students grow as actors, adding that there’s nothing like it. Co-director Rachel Newman said it was crazy watching the students pull together such a big show in a short amount of time. Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 17, 2019 Baker-Polito Administration launches Economic Development Planning Council BOSTON – Gov. Charlie Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito recently swore in members of the Economic Development Planning Council, which will provide input on and oversight of an economic development plan that will be presented to Baker by the end of the year. Polito and Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy will serve as co-chairs of the council. The council and process are guided by Section 16G of Chapter 6A of the Massachusetts General Laws, which requires a new economic development plan formulated and signed by the governor within the fi rst year of a new administration. The new council brings a diversity of experience and perspective, including representation from every region of the Commonwealth. The council includes appointees of the House, Senate, relevant Executive Secretariats, and municipal leaders, along with small business owners and entrepreneurs and leaders from key business sectors and higher education. “Our administration values the unique insight the members of the Economic Development Planning Council will bring under Lt. Gov. Polito and Secretary Kennealy’s leadership to continue propelling Massachusetts’ economy forward,” said Baker. “We remain committed to empowering local communities with the tools and funding needed to succeed, and I look forward to reviewing the Council’s recommendations.” “I am honored to co-chair this essential process, and work with the exceptional and talented individuals appointed to the Council,” said Polito. “With Council members hailing from the Berkshires to the Cape, representing industries ranging from healthcare to financial services to manufacturing, from entrepreneurial ventures to large established companies, the composition of this Council will ensure Massachusetts benefi ts from a diversity of perspectives.” “We are proud of the unprecedented strength of the Commonwealth’s economy, and are committed to ensuring all residents can share in ~ OPEN HOUSE ~ Sunday, May 19 * 11:30 - 1:00 PM 63 HARVARD ST., CHELSEA PRATTVILLE SECTION NEW PRICE: $549,900. continued economic growth,” said Kennealy. “This Council will embark on a robust planning process, engaging stakeholders across the state for valuable input on ways we enhance our partnership with local communities, educational institutions and training organizations, and businesses. I look forward to collaborating with stakeholders across the state, and am pleased to co-chair this council with Lt. Gov. Polito.” Under the leadership of Lt. Governor Polito and Secretary Kennealy, the council will embark on regional engagement sessions across the state to obtain public input in the development of a new economic development plan, which the council will approve and present to Baker to guide economic policy over the next four years. Additional details on the regional engagement sessions, including session registration, are available online. At the onset of the BakerPolito Administration’s first term in 2015, a similar process resulted in the plan titled “Opportunities For All.” This plan formed the basis for the Administration’s economic development policy and led to the fi ling of economic development legislation in 2016 and 2018. Together with the Legislature, the resulting bills signed by Baker collectively authorized more than $2 billion toward growing the economy and promoting regional equity within Massachusetts. The Administration’s economic development programs include the MassWorks Infrastructure Program to fund public infrastructure projects that drive job and housing growth, the Site Readiness and Brownfields programs, to enable communities to leverage underutilized sites and prepare them to be shovel-ready for development, the Collaborative Workspace program to empower local entrepreneurship and innovation, and the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2) to support cuttingedge research and development. The 2018 legislation authorized funding for the fi rst-ever standalone Dredging Program for our coastal communities, which supplements extensive funding for the Seaport Economic Council, which the Administration reconstituted in 2015. Since 2015, the Administration has invested $1.5 billion in grants in over 300 communities, spurring the addition of thousands of jobs and housing across the Commonwealth.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, May 17, 2019 Softball Patriots bounce back to beat Salem after Classical heartbreaker By Joe Mitchell S lowly but surely, the Revere High School softball team (7-5 overall, 4-4 in the Northeastern Conference South Division) is inching closer to clinching another postseason berth. After beating Marblehead early last week, the Patriots ended up dropping a 10-6 decision to Lynn Classical on May 10. But they bounced right back again to beat Salem on Tuesday, May 14, 5-3. Coach Joe Ciccarello said that the game against Salem was a “nice win.” Olivia McManus (four strikeouts) pitched the fi rst three innings, and Adrianna Fusco (seven strikeouts) then came in to fi nish up, throwing the last four to record the victory. Eve Lescovitz led the way at the plate with a two-run double that sealed the deal. ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS...AMAZING Custom built 7+ rm Colonial features 3-4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, dramatic two story foyer, formal living room with bright & sunny bow window, spacious eat-in kitchen with French door leading to formal dining room, entertainment-size family room private bath with shower and double sink vanity, convenient 1st to details in & out!

Ciccarello also said that the defense was also responsible for this close win. Julianna Raff a, who had a hit and scored a run, survived a scare in the outfi eld when she collided with Lynsie Anderson. But in the end, both players were able to shake it off . Last week’s loss against the Rams did have some positive aspects to it, an indication that the Revere girls just might be turning the corner while heading down the home stretch. “That was defi nitely our best game to date,” said Ciccarello. “We were holding a 5-0 lead going into the top of the seventh, and were playing great defense. Olivia was also pitching extremely well. We were getting timely hits by Katie O’Donnell, Olivia and Raff a. “However, it started to rain at the start of the last inning, and so did the errors and the hits by Classical. They scored 10 runs before we were fi nally able to get that third out. We did score a run in the home half and had two on, but that’s where they stayed, unfortunately.” But after this lost opportunity, Ciccarello continues to lament the fact that they still have trouble fi nishing games. “We simply cannot close out a big game yet,” he said. “Three out of our fi ve losses this year happened in the last inning.” Ciccarello mentioned one of those two other losses was a 1-0 heartbreaker to Beverly. If only they could turn the clocks back, they might be staring at an undefeated record right now. “This team needs to find some confidence that it can close out a win against a good team,” the veteran coach said. It doesn’t get any easier for the Revere girls. They went up against Medford May 15 (after press deadline) before heading to Somerville to face the Highlanders on Friday at 4:30 p.m. They have a make up game with those same Lynn Classical Rams on Saturday, this time at their place, Breed Field, starting at 10 a.m. The Pats will remain on the road to begin next week versus host Lynn English on Monday, May 20, and then they will head to Malden on Wednesday to face the Golden Tornadoes.

CON CON VOTES TO TAX MILLIONAIRES ANOTHER 4 PERCENT (H 86) House and Senate held a constitutional convention and approved 156-37, (House approved 121-33, Senate approved 35-4), a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow a graduated income tax in Massachusetts and impose an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current fl at 5.1 percent one, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million. Language in the amendment requires that “subject to appropriation” the revenue will go to fund quality public education, aff ordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation. The proposal is sponsored by Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester) and Rep. James O’Day (D-West Boylston). In order to go on the ballot for voters to decide, it needs to twice have the votes of 101 of the 200 members of the House and Senate in the current 2019-2020 session and again in the 2021-2022 session. The earliest it could be on the ballot is in November 2022. A similar eff ort by a group called the “Raise Up Coalition” to get the question on the 2018 ballot was derailed when it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Judicial Court which said the constitution prohibits placing more than one objective in a single proposed constitutional amendment that is sought by a citizens’ group. The court’s decision noted that the proposal imposed the tax and then stipulates how the money could be spent. The current amendment is proposed by legislators rather than citizens and according to proponents, amendments proposed by legislators can have more than one objective and would not be ruled unconstitutional by the court. There was no debate on the proposal and no amendments were considered despite eff orts by GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (RNorth Reading) to propose one. Jones said that Senate President Karen Spilka, who presided over the convention was intent on gaveling through the proposal quickly and defl ected his attempts to off er an amendment. Jones said his amendment would have required that revenue from the new tax be spent in addition to funds already directed toward education and transportation, and not simply replace those funds. Jones was clearly unhappy with the procedure. “You know what it is?” Jones told the State House News Service. “You can quote me. It’s bu**sh**. That’s what it is.” Senate President Karen Spilka said there will be debate and the opportunity to propose amendments when the proposal is debated again on June 12. Supporters say the amendment will aff ect only 20,000 extremely wealthy individuals and will generate up to $2 billion annually in additional tax revenue. They argue that using the funds for education and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation will benefi t millions of Bay State taxpayers. They note the hike would help lower income families which are now paying a higher share of their income in taxes. Opponents argue the new tax will result in the loss of 9,500 private sector jobs, $405 million annually in personal disposable income and some millionaires moving out of state. They say that the earmarking of the funds for specific projects is illegal and said all the funds will go into the General Fund and be up for grabs for anything. “The new revenue that would be raised by the Fair Share Amendment would go a long way in helping to fi x crumbling roads and bridges, improving service on the MBTA and other public transportation, increasing funding for public schools, expanding access to quality early childhood education, and making higher education more aff ordable for students and families,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), the Senate sponsor of the proposal. “It’s also the best way to raise revenue that would make our tax system fairer and more progressive, rather than increasing taxes on middle class families who cannot afford to pay more. I’m pleased that the Legislature’s action today moves the Fair Share Amendment one step closer to the ballot.” “The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance (MFA) stands with the voters, who on fi ve separate occasions voted against making Massachusetts a graduated income tax state, and with the state’s highest court which recently rejected a similar scheme as unconstitutional,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the MFA. “Some lawmakers think history started in 2019, but this policy idea is the most rejected in the state’s history. The answer should always be ‘no,’ when considering removing our constitutionally protected guarantees of equal taxation.” “Community, faith, and labor groups all across Massachusetts strongly support the Fair Share Amendment because it’s the most fair, progressive and sustainable way to raise the major new revenue Massachusetts needs to invest in transportation and public education,” said Andrew Farnitano, the spokesman for Raise Up Massachusetts. “We thank the Legislature for moving the Fair Share Amendment forward today.” “If there was ever any doubt that the Legislature would expedite the scheme to tax more, today’s brief constitutional convention dispelled it,” said Chip Ford, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation. “It took longer to call the convention to order than to actually vote on and advance the so-called ‘Millionaire’s Tax,’’’ Ford added. “A whopping billion dollars in excess revenue above last April’s haul poured into state coff ers just last month alone but that’s still not enough for the ‘spendoholics’ on Beacon Hill. More never is.” (A “Yes” vote is for the additional 4 percent tax. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeoYes Rep. RoseLee VincentYes Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes $200 MILLION IN CHAPTER 90 FUNDING FOR LOCAL ROADS (H 69) House 156-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill authorizing $200 million in onetime funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The package is a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds. Other provisions include $200 million for rail improvements and $1.5 billion in bonding to allow for federal interstate repairs to advance. According to offi cials, 80 percent of the $1.5 billion would be reimbursed by the federal government.

No one voted against the bill but there are some legislators and city and town officials who say the $200 million that has been given for the past few years is insufficient. The Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) said it appreciates that the bill is moving forward because cities and towns maintain and repair 30,000 miles of local roads—that’s 90 percent of the roadways in the Bay State. However, for several years, the MMA has been seeking to increase the amount to $300 million. “The MMA’s long-term goal is to work with the governor and Legislature on a shared strategy to increase Chapter 90 funding and provide a multi-year framework, so that cities and towns can improve the quality of our roadways and save taxpayer dollars,” said MMA Executive Director Geoff Beckwith. Transportation House chairman Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett) said the current $200 million is sufficient when combined with other state programs to help cities’ and towns’ infrastructure including a $50 million small bridge repair. “We have increased not just state spending, but the money we provide to municipalities in other ways,” said Straus. “I don’t agree that we’ve fl atlined the expenditure. I just think we’re striving to fi nd additional ways, either through the bridge program which I would like to see expanded or as direct budget aid to municipalities for their road and bridge needs.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Seeking Aid Dear Seeking, The Veterans Administration does indeed have a little-known, underutilized benefi t that can help wartime veterans and their surviving spouses pay for a variety of long-term care costs. This benefi t, called “Aid and Attendance,” is a special pension that’s paid in addition to a basic pension. It pays a maximum of $2,230 a month to married veterans; $1,881 a month to single veterans; or $1,209 a month to a surviving spouse. The money is tax free, and can be used to pay for in-home care, assisted living and nursing home care. Today, only around 230,000 veterans and survivors receiving Aid and Attendance, but millions more are eligible and either don’t know about it, or don’t think they can qualify for it. Eligibility Requirements To qualify, your dad must have served at least 90 days of active military service with at least one day of service during a period of war, and not have been discharged dishonorably. Single surviving spouses of wartime vets are eligible if their marriage ended due to death. In addition, your dad will also have to meet certain thresholds for medical and fi nancial need to be eligible. To qualify medically he must be either disabled, or over the age of 65 and need help with basic everyday living tasks such as eating, dressing, bathing or going to the bathroom. Being blind or in a nursing home or assisted living facility due to mental disability also qualifi es him. Single surviving spouses have no age restrictions, but they must require help with basic everyday living tasks to be eligible. To qualify fi nancially, your parents must have limited assets, under $127,061, excluding their home, vehicle and personal belongings. And their annual income (minus medical and long-term care expenses) cannot exceed the Maximum Allowable Pension Rate (MAPR), which in 2019 is $26,766 for a veteran and their spouse; $22,577 for a single veteran; and $14,509 for a surviving spouse. To calculate your parent’s income qualifi cations, add up their income over the past year (including Social Security, pensions, interest income from investments, annuities, etc.), minus any out-of-pocket medical expenses, prescription drugs, insurance premiums and long-term care costs over that same period of time. If the fi nal tally is under the MAPR, and he meets the other requirements, he should be eligible for aid. How to Apply To learn more, or to apply for Aid and Attendance, contact your regional VA benefi t offi ce (see Benefi ts.va.gov/benefi ts/offi ces.asp or call 800–827–1000) where you can apply in person. You can also apply by writing the Pension Management Center for your state (see Benefi ts.va.gov/pension/resources-contact. asp). You’ll need to include evidence, like VA Form 21-2680 (VA. gov/vaforms) which your dad’s doctor can fi ll out that shows his need for Aid and Attendance. If you need some help, you can appoint a Veteran Service Offi cer (VSO), a VA-accredited attorney or claims agent to represent your dad. See www.ebenefi ts.va.gov/ebenefi ts/vso-search to locate someone. If your dad is eligible, it will take between six and 12 months for his application to be processed, so be patient. You should also know that if your dad’s Aid and Attendance application is approved, the VA will send a lump sum retroactive payment covering the time from the day you fi led the application until the day it was approved. Then your dad receives monthly payments going forward. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Avner Alves, who featured in every match in midfi eld in 2018, made his fi rst appearance of the season away to NY Cosmos in the heart of defense. Bustamante was the team’s third captain in as many matches last weekend, following GK Jake Wagmeister (at Hartford) and midfi elder Tommaso D’Agostino (vs. Hartford). Boston City’s overall record playing competitive matches in the state of New York is W3, L5, D1. Boston City’s overall record against NYAC is W1, L3, D1. Last season the Italians won 6-0 in Boston, but there was no return fi xture. Boston City’s overall record against the Italians is W1, L2. The sides did not meet in 2017, having split the series in 2016. Playercoach Michael Bustamante has scored on both occasions he has lined up for the Lions against the Brooklyn Italians (both in 2016).
