Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 Bike to the Sea’s trail targeted for completion N By Christopher Roberson early 30 years after it was established, Bike to the Sea is expected to have its rail trail project, the Northern Strand Community Trail, mostly completed by the end of the year. Stephen Winslow, co-founder of Bike to the Sea, said he and his wife Helen created the organization in 1993 after discovering that the roads and drivers in Malden were “very hostile to bicyclists.” “When we moved to Malden we found the roads and drivers were very hostile to bicyclists and no real convenient trails,” he said. “About the same time, the Minuteman Trail ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $2.759 Mid Unleaded $2.879 Super $3.019 Diesel Fuel $2.899 "42 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2020 KERO $4.65 DEF $3.49 9 Diesel $2.569 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

(Photo Courtesy of Bike to the Sea) complete the trail. “An additional $8 million investment will be necessary to connect the trail along Lynn Common, Market Street and Lynn Shore Drive to the beach,” said Winslow. Speaking about the number of residents who use the trail, Winslow said a counter was installed in Malden and recorded 50,000 pedestrians and bicyclists in July 2020. In addition, Winslow said residents can use the trail to access the Mystic River Trail in Everett. “The Northern Strand has been designated to be part of the East Coast Greenway/Bike Route 1 which extends off and on-road from Maine to Key West, Florida,” he said. Looking ahead, Jonah Chiarenza, executive director of Bike to the Sea, said he would like to have ongoing trail runs and clean ups to “develop synergies for economic investment and improved access to recreation.” STEPHEN WINSLOW Malden City Councillor Co-Founder Bike to the Sea was being built along a former rail line through Arlington and proved popular with people of all ages. We thought that the overgrown and little-used Saugus Branch Rail Line off ered the same opportunity, so Helen and I formed Bike to the Sea to pursue the idea.” In 1996, the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization determined that using the Saugus Branch Rail Line to Lynn would be the best option for the trail rather than running it along Rumney Marsh to Revere. Winslow said that in 2005, “after a decade of study and negotiations,” Everett was the fi rst community to sign a lease with the MBTA, which allowed construction of the trail to begin. Malden, Saugus and Revere joined the eff ort soon thereafter. Between 2010 and 2015, Winslow said, offi cials in Everett, Malden, Saugus and Revere worked to clear the railbed and convert it into a bike trail. He said that earlier this year a bridge was installed over the Saugus River, and the section of the trail under Route 1 in Revere was paved. In addition, he said construction is underway in Everett to connect the trail to the Mystic River. The last leg of the project will be to bring the trail to an end at Lynn Shore and Nahant Beach Reservation. Winslow said that over the years Bike to the Sea has received approximately $18 million from the Gateway Community Parks program as well as additional funding from Malden and Everett. However, another fi nancial push will be needed to Prices subject to change around FLEET
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 Page 3 City Council honors Malden Catholic sophomore for service L By Adam Swift ast Monday night, the City Council recognized a 15-year-old Revere resident who is already making a huge difference in the community. The council presented Malden Catholic High School sophomore Alondra Enisco Torres with a Certifi cate of Commendation for her efforts in establishing the La Colaborativa Club at the high school last month. Torres appeared by Zoom at Monday night’s meeting to thank the council for the honor. Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino, who made the original motion, said he presented the certifi cate to Torres in person at Malden Catholic several weeks ago. “She has been working with La Colaborativa, which is an organization in the city of Chelsea that provides basic necessities to families in need through the pandemic,” said Serino. Torres was inspired to establish a La Colaborativa Club at her high school after volunteering with her mother, Cynthia. Serino said her eff orts refl ect Malden Catholics Xaverian values of simplicity, humility, compasTorres. Torres said that she and her fellow students, faculty and administration are continuing to work on new ideas to help out those communities in need with Lawrence A.

When Serino went to the high school to present the certificate to Torres, he also sat in on a meeting of the club. The councillor said he was impressed with Torres’ leadership style, and with all the students taking part in the club, including Luna Murray, another Revere resident. Councillor-at-Large Jessica Ann Giannino said Torres and Murray exemplify the values taught at Malden Catholic. “If this is what she is accomplishing at 15, I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next,” said Giannino. Torres thanked the council for the award and said she never expected her club, which is now 45 members strong, to have the reach that it has. “It’s really important to me that we help these families in need,” said Look twice and save a life www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM * Zoning/Land Court * Wetlands Litigation * Workmen’s Compensation * Landlord/Tenant Litigation * Real Estate Law * Construction Litigation * Tax Lein * Personal Injury * Bankruptcy * Wrongful Death * Zoning/Permitting Litigation 300 Broadway, Suite 1, Revere * 781-286-1560 lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net the club. “I’m the daughter of two immigrants, and it really inspires me because I get to help out people of all kinds, people like my parents, and it just means a lot,” said Torres.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 Serino raises concerns about Capitol Waste missed trash pickups By Adam Swift Subcommittee meeting. “We as a city, and as taxpayW ard 6 City Councillor Richard Serino wants some answers from the city’s contracted trash hauler, Capitol Waste, about missed trash pickups across Revere. But some other councillors warn that Capitol Waste is a vast improvement over past companies that have trucked away residents’ trash, recyclables and yard waste. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, Serino introduced a motion asking that a representative from Capitol Waste appear before the council to address consistent missed trash pickups. There will be a further discussion of the issue at a future City Council Public Works ers, we pay Capitol Waste to remove our solid municipal waste, our trash, our recycling, bulky items and yard waste, and Capitol Waste continues to forget pickups and they continue to have missed pickups almost every week,” said Serino. “I’ve spoken with other ward councillors, and they call Capitol Waste, and Capitol Waste comes out and they pick up the missed pickups. But in Ward 6, trash days are on Thursdays and Fridays, so if I don’t get the call until Friday afternoon, Capitol Waste has already gone home.” Residents in Ward 6 will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to have the missed pickJ& $45 yd.

During the past year, there have been more than 460 calls to 311 concerning missed trash, recycling, bulky items and yard waste pickups in Revere, said Serino. He said those calls do not count individual calls to councillors, or residents who don’t bother to make a call and wait until the next trash day and hope for the best. “I think we have a problem with Capitol Waste,” said Serino. “We are paying them for a service that they are not living up to, and I’m even more frustrated because I fi led this motion last year, and they never came before us to explain why they are missing so many pickups.” While Serino said he expects the Capitol Waste representatives to say that residents are putting their trash or yard waste out too late, but he said that can’t be the case for every missed trash and waste pickup. Ward 1 Councillor Joanne RICHARD SERINO Ward 6 Councillor McKenna added that, in addition to the pickup problems, there have also been issues in her ward with the trash haulers leaving barrels in the street, especially on street sweeping days, a sentiment echoed by Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito. Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe said he does get a fair amount of calls about missed pickups, but noted that Capitol Waste is probably the best and most responsive of the larger waste management companies. He suggested establishing a separate emergency hotline in the city apart from 311 for trash and recycling issues to help provide quicker responses and resolutions. City Council President Anthony Zambuto said he has been around long enough to remember when there were truly terrible trash haulers servicing the city, and he said Capitol Waste is one of the best in the state and highly responsive to any issues that come to its attention. “The bottom line here is [Revere] is a big city,” said Zambuto. “I know I’ve been guilty of putting my trash out after the trash people came and I realized it too late. Yes, there are complaints, and 400 over a year is probably not a lot.” Zambuto said any issues with Capitol Waste can likely be dealt with in the council’s Public Works Subcommittee meeting.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 Page 7 Jarick Walker describes rise to success in NFL By Christopher Roberson J arick Walker recently shared the path that took him from playing a handful of college football games to becoming the talent and marketing manager for the NFL. Growing up in Hyde Park, Walker spent two years as a linebacker for Catholic Memorial School in West Roxbury. Following high school, he went on to play football for Boston College. Although he only played in six games, Walker still valued the experience of competing on the collegiate level. “When I was there, I walked onto the football team, which was crazy,” he said during a May 13 question and answer session sponsored by Everett High School. After graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in human development, Walker was unsure about his plans for the future. “I was a young 20-something and had no idea what life had to off er,” he said. However, he found a home with Boston Scholar Athletes and remained with the organization for four years. “From there, I took a risk,” he said, adding that he wanted to move to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Therefore, he started working at the Nike Store on Newbury Street in Boston to save enough money for his move to southern California. However, something unexpected began to transpire. “What ended up happening was I began climbing the ranks at Nike,” he said. Eventually, Walker was transferred out of the retail division and took a marketing position at Nike’s Boston offi ce. Despite his success in Boston, Walker had not forgotten about the West Coast. Therefore, he would periodically travel to Nike LA to pitch ideas for mardoing things. “Every day when I go to work, I feel like I’m on this mission to change the narrative,” he said. Following the tragic deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the league’s CFO, Joseph Siclare, off ered to speak with any employee who needed to talk. Walker was one of the few who took Siclare up on his off er. “I shared how we need to be bold; you can’t tiptoe around this topic,” said Walker. “I broke down in tears afterward. I felt that he listened.” $2.39 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal. Min. 24 Hr. Service 781-286-2602 JARICK WALKER keting campaigns. Three years later, his eff orts paid off when Nike off ered him the opportunity to go to Los Angeles. However, life in southern California was much diff erent than life in Boston. “It was a night and day experience,” said Walker. During his two years with Nike LA, Walker organized a road race in Inglewood, California, a community that was still recovering from a crack cocaine epidemic which struck during the 1980s. “We shut down a freeway to have a race,” he said. Although Walker had the opportunity to take a position at Nike’s corporate offi ce in Oregon, he opted to go work for the NFL, where he has remained for the past year and a half. As the league’s talent and marketing manager, Walker said, one of his primary responsibilities is to attract younger fans. “It’s defi nitely hard; it’s an uphill battle,” he said. “A lot of people think the NBA is the biggest league in the country – the NFL far outpaces what the NBA is doing.” He has also worked with a number of celebrities in this capacity, including Kevin Hart, Cole Bennett, Lil Wayne, Desi Banks and Lil Baby. Although the NFL has a much greater corporate culture than Nike, Walker said, he has always tested the boundaries and strived to fi nd diff erent ways of AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE Is your vehicle ready for the Summer Season?!!

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 Page 9 Dates set for Revere summer school programs By Adam Swift A fter an academic year of (mostly) remote learning, Revere public schools will be off ering a full slate of in-person summer school programs. “There have been a lot of questions about summer programs,” said Assistant Superintendent Dr. Richard Gallucci in a presentation of the times and dates for the summer learning programs before the School Committee on Tuesday. “We have worked with the principals to get their plans, and I would say these dates and times are close to 100 percent. I hesitate to call anything 100 percent, but this gives a good idea and a ballpark of what the schools are planning.” The programs at all the elementary and middle schools will run four days per week, from Monday to Thursday. The Garfi eld Elementary School will serve as the sole location for the special education extended school year, according to Gallucci. Depending on the school, the programs will begin from June 28 to July 12 and run through the fi rst or second week of August. Some of the schools will have programs ending around lunch time, while some schools will have extended learning days until around 2 p.m. Because of an HVAC project at the Lincoln School, that school’s program will be housed at the Hill School this summer. Revere High School will run the RHS Summer Bridge Program from July 6 to August 12, the RHS English Learner Academy from July 6 to August 5, and the RHS Credit Recovery Program will also run from July 6 to August 5. SeaCoast High School will off er the SeaCoast Seminar and the SeaCoast Credit Recovery Program from June 22 to July 15. All students are invited to attend the summer programs. “Students who have intense needs or specifi c needs are going to be encouraged to attend specifi c programs, like the special education extended year program,” said Gallucci. “But certainly, other students are going to be welcomed to attend their current school’s program to ensure that they feel a part of that community and are engaging in the summer, especially if their families feel they need that.” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly said each of the schools is partnering with a community organization to provide special learning opportunities. She said some have partnered with Lego Education for a robotics program, while some are partnered with Project Adventure for some outdoor exploration programs. “We are trying to make sure the day is enjoyable and doesn’t have them confined indoors,” said Kelly. “We want them to be outside as much as possible, and every program will have an outdoor component. We don’t want summer school to feel like a punitive thing – we want it to feel like we are taking kids from where they are and helping them go further down the path of the road they belong on.” School Committee Member Frederick Sannella praised the administration for providing a summer program as thorough as what the district off ers during the regular school year. Trio of Brazilian nationals charged in connection with wire fraud By Christopher Roberson T hree Brazilian nationals living in Revere have been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The suspects are Guilherme Da Silveira, 28, Alessandro Felix Da Fonseca, 25, and Flavio Candido Da Silva, 35. According to federal authorities, the suspects were joined by 16 other Brazilian nationals throughout the United States in a “nationwide conspiracy to set up fraudulent driver accounts with multiple rideshare and delivery service companies using stolen identities and to rent or sell those accounts to drivers who might not otherwise qualify to drive for those services.” It is alleged that more than 2,000 victims had their identities stolen as a result of the scam. “Millions of us rely on these services every day for transportation and to have meals and groceries delivered to our homes. They are an important part of the economy, especially now,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Nathaniel Mendell. “We allege that the conspirators took advantage of that by stealing customers’ identities while making deliveries and using those stolen identities to set up fraudulent accounts. That means accounts for unqualifi ed drivers who could not meet minimum qualifi cations, were not eligible to work in the United States or could not pass a background check. That’s illegal.” Anyone who believes they are a victim is urged to visit https:// www.justice.gov/usao-ma/victim-and-witness-assistanceprogram/us-v-wemerson-dutra-aguiar-and-us-v-priscila-barbosa-et-al. “These individuals are accused of executing a nationwide con in which they dragged thousands of innocent people into their scheme by stealing their identities. They thought it would be an easy way to generate some quick money, but in doing so they potentially compromised public safety by putting people behind the wheel who couldn’t get jobs with these companies on their own,” said Joseph Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston Division. “This massive fraud ring would have been more diffi cult to detect without the assistance of the victim companies in this case who are making a good faith eff ort to root out fraud and enhance their customers’ safety.” The suspects allegedly targeted fi ve rideshare and delivery companies between January 2019 and April of this year. During that time, the suspects allegedly acquired the victims’ Social Security numbers and copies of their driver’s licenses. According to authorities, that information was used to create fake driver accounts. The accounts were then rented or sold to individuals who were not otherwise eligible to work for a rideshare or delivery service. As a result, the suspects allegedly received referral bonuses from the companies, who, at the time, were unaware that the driver accounts were fraudulent. If convicted, the suspects would each face up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fi ne.

We can’t wait to see what they will accomplish in their college careers and beyond.” The 2021 graduating class for PCSS I and II persevered and have earned acceptances into some of the most prestigious schools in the nation. The class of 2021 has received more acceptances to Ivy League Schools than any other class in the school’s history. Some students will stay in New England, with a few matriculating to institutions like Brandeis, Dartmouth, Boston University and Northeastern, while others will travel all over the country to attend Stanford, UPenn, Cornell, and Macalester. The announcement comes on the heels of the news that PCSS I and II ranked in the top 20 Massachusetts High Schools in 2021 by U.S. News and World Report. There are 110 seniors in the PCSS I and II Class of 2021. Graduation is scheduled to be held in person on Friday, 06/04/2021 at 4 pm. Among the graduates: Amanda De Oliveira Ferreira, age 18, of Everett was accepted to Cornell University. Amanda will be studying Global And Public Health Sciences and one of the two students accepted to Cornell this year. “At Pioneer I was challenged academically which allowed me to grow both as a student and a pergrateful to have had such caring teachers and faculty who helped guide her in the admission process. Rim was also accepted to Boston College, UC Berkeley, Cornell University, Swarthmore College, and Williams College.

At Monday’s School Committee meeting, Director of Guidance and Testing Diana Finn shared some of the successes of the impending graduates to the committee members. “We are exceptionally proud of the work the students have done this year and the challenges they have overcome with their teachers and their counselors in the face of a global pandemic,” said Finn. “Over this senior class’s year, we have sent out and they have submitted over 2,400 college applications. In addition, 950 teacher and counselor recommendations were submitted.” While counselors are still working with some students making fi nal decisions on college and post–high school life, Finn presented the School Committee with an impressive list of some of the colleges and universities graduates will be attending next year. “While you can see some of the most esteemed colleges and universities in the country on this list, including Harvard, Middlebury, Tufts, NYU, Howard, Holy Cross and Amherst College, we certainly pride ourselves on helping students apply to schools that meet their specifi c needs, their academic, social, geographic, and of course, fi nancial needs,” said Finn. “For students who are not attending college, for those who are going off to work, the military, into the trades or career programs, we’ve worked really hard this year to engage with community partners, with gap year programs and with career certifi cations that partner for me come true. I feel blessed and truly grateful” says Amanda about her high school experience PCSS I.

The Board of Health remains committed to working to keep Revere residents safe and healthy by urging Revere residents to continue to get vaccinated. As of Thursday, 41 percent of Revere residents are fully vaccinated, and 55 percent of Revere residents have received their fi rst dose. Across the Commonwealth, 46 percent of residents are fully vaccinated and 60 percent have received their fi rst dose is 60 percent. The Revere Board of Health also made the decision to continue enforcing mask-wearing at City Hall and all City buildings to protect those who have not been vaccinated. COVID screeners will still be monitoring City building entrances and asking health screening questions when residents enter. Revere Public Schools announced yesterday that students can take masks off outdoors, at lunch, and start to share supplies. Masks will continue to be required inside for all students and RPS staff . “Although this is an exciting moment for our city, we all have to understand that Revere has some work to do,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “We have a duty About PCSS With schools in Everett (PCSS I) and Saugus (PCSS II), Pioneer Charter School of Science offers a rigorous academic curriculum emphasizing math, science, and analytical thinking skills balanced by a strong foundation in the humanities. The school offers extended days/hours and career-oriented college preparation. Students must pass fi ve math and fi ve science classes in order to graduate - more than state standards, and students must complete 40 hours of community service. The school has a 195-day school calendar, extended days, after school tutoring and “voluntary” Saturday classes for students who need extra help. to protect our most vulnerable residents; we must remain vigilant as we work to increase our vaccination numbers. The COVID screeners have had instances in the past where COVID-19 positive residents try to enter City Hall. We will continue to enforce the mask mandate in our buildings until our vaccination numbers rise - The fi ght isn’t over yet, but I am excited to fi nally reach this milestone in the pandemic.” Testing continues to be a priority in the city – the two largest testing sites at Suff olk Downs and Revere High School will be open until the end of September and we encourage everyone to continue to get tested if they believe they have been exposed. COVID ambassadors also continue to spread the word about our Mobile May clinics and help combat vaccine hesitancy in their communities. The City of Revere Inspectional Services Department will be contacting all Revere small businesses to let them know of the updated reopening guidance. Inspectors will also stress the individual freedom business owners have of enforcing their own mask mandates on their property. The Board of Health will support businesses that continue to enforce mask-wearing in their establishments.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 Page 13 How Much Will You Need to Save for Retirement? Dear Savvy Senior, Is there an easy way to fi gure out how much I will need to save for retirement? My wife and I are both in our late fi fties and want to fi gure out about how much we’ll need in order to retire comfortably. Ready to Retire Dear Ready, How much money you need to retire comfortably is a great question that all working adults should ask themselves. Unfortunately, far too few ever bother thinking about it. But calculating an approximate number of how much you’ll need to have saved for retirement is actually pretty easy and doesn’t take long to do. It’s a simple, three-step process that includes estimating your future living expenses, tallying up your retirement income and calculating the difference. Estimate Living Expenses The fi rst step – estimating your future retirement living expenses – is the most diffi - cult. If you want a quick ballpark estimate, fi gure around 75 to 85 percent of your current gross income. That’s what most people fi nd they need to maintain their current lifestyle in retirement. If you want a more precise estimate, track your current living expenses on a worksheet and deduct any costs you expect to go away or decline when you retire, and add whatever new ones you anticipate. Costs you can scratch off your list include work-related expenses like commuting or lunches out, as well as the amount you’re socking away for retirement. You may also be able to deduct your mortgage if you expect to have it paid off by retirement, and your kid’s college expenses. Your income taxes should also be less. On the other hand, some costs will probably go up when you retire, like health care, and depending on your interests you may spend a lot more on travel, golf or other hobbies. And, if you’re going to be retired for 20 or 30 years you also need to factor in some occasional big budget items like a new roof, heating/air conditioning system or vehicle. Tally Retirement Income Step two is to calculate your retirement income. If you and/ or your wife contribute to Social Security, go to SSA.gov/MyAccount to get your personalized statement that estimates what your retirement benefi ts will be at age 62, full retirement age and when you turn 70. In addition to Social Security, if you or your wife has a traditional pension plan from an employer, find out from the plan administrator how much you are likely to get when you retire. And fi gure in any other income from other sources you expect to have, such as rental properties, part-time work, etc. Calculate the Diff erence The fi nal step is to do the calculations. Subtract your annual living expenses from your annual retirement income. If your income alone can cover your bills, you’re all set. If not, you’ll need to tap your savings, including your 401(k) plans, IRAs, or other investments to make up the diff erence. So, let’s say for example you need around $60,000 a year to meet your living and retirement expenses and pay taxes, and you and your wife expect to receive $35,000 a year from Social Security and other income. That leaves a $25,000 shortfall that you’ll need to pull from your nest egg each year ($60,000 – $35,000 = $25,000). Then, depending on what age you want to retire, you need to multiply your shortfall by at least 25 if you want to retire at 60, 20 to retire at 65, and 17 to retire at 70 – or in this case that would equate to $625,000, $500,000 and $425,000, respectively. Why 25, 20 and 17? Because that would allow you to pull four percent a year from your savings, which is a safe withdrawal strategy that in most cases will let your money last as long as you do.

Revere on the Move Urges Residents to Provide Urban Farming Ordinance Testimony at May 24 City Council Meeting Website Created for Residents to Share Their Testimony REVERE – On Monday, May 24, 2021, the Urban Farming Ordinance will be presented to the Revere City Council after 10 years of urban farming programing to guide the development of the Urban Farming Ordinance over the past 5 years. The Urban Farming Ordinance was created to increase access to fresh, locally grown, wholesome foods for the residents of Revere. Revere on the Move and their local partners have established a wide and increasing variety of programs and resources for access to all food – the Urban Farming Ordinance expands the work already being done by integrating state and national policies to encourage home gardeners, commercial businesses, and non-profi ts to grow their own food. Revere residents have long asked for additional community gardens, urban farms, chickens, bees and more, and this Urban Farming Agenda addresses the many areas of Revere’s food economy. According to the ordinance, growing local foods eliminates both the need for fossil fuels in transporting food and the use of destructive chemicals that are part of large-scale food production operations – benefi ting both the residents and the environment. Revere on the Move is encouraging residents to provide testimony at the May 24 City Council Meeting. If you are interested in speaking at the meeting, please email drana@revere.org. “Revere’s history is rooted in farming from the farms and greenhouses in West Revere, to the backyard and community gardens that continue today,” said Dimple Rana. “Over the last 10 years, Revere on the Move has implemented urban farming initiatives that have gained a lot of interest such as our community gardens, farmers market, and bee hive pilot. Across the country, cities like Revere are realizing the value that urban farms can create several social, environmental, and economic benefi ts.” If you are unable to attend the May 24 meeting, Revere on the Move has created a webpage, www.revere.org/getinvolved, where residents can share their testimony online rather than in person. To do so, please click on the “Urban Farming” tab and share your testimony. At the May 24th City Council meeting, the public hearing will take comments and then move to a full public hearing at a zoning sub-committee meeting scheduled later. On May 25th the Planning Board will also conduct a public hearing due to the zoning changes in the ordinance. The Zoning Sub-Committee will make a vote and then move to the full City Council for a vote prior to implementation.
Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021 A note from Bob Katzen, Publisher of Beacon Hill Roll Call: Join me this Sunday night and every Sunday night between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. for my talk show “The Bob Katzen Baby Boomer and Gen X Show.” Jump in my time capsule and come back to the simpler days of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. My special guest on Sunday, May 23 at 6 p.m. will be Tony Dow, best known for playing Wally Cleaver on the beloved and iconic television series “Leave it to Beaver.” Listeners are always invited to call in and talk with Tony. There are many ways you can listen to the show from anywhere in the world: • If you have a smart speaker, simply say, “Play WMEX on Audacy.com” • Download the free Audacy app on your phone or tablet • Listen online at www.wmexboston.com • Or tune into 1510 AM if you have an AM radio. • Visit us at www.bobkatzenshow.com THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local senators’ roll call attendance records for the 2021 session through May 14. The Senate has held 28 roll calls so far in 2021. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each senator votes and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. In the Senate, 39 of the 40 members did not miss any roll calls and have 100 percent roll call attendance records. It is a Senate tradition that the Senate president only votes occasionally. Senate President Karen Spilka follows that tradition and only voted on 11 of the 28 roll calls while not voting on 17 of them. Sen. Spilka’s offi ce did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on her voting record. We specifi cally asked if Spilka was in the Statehouse building for all the formal and informal sessions; how the tradition developed that the president rarely votes; has she ever thought of breaking that tradition and being recorded on all roll calls; and how does she choose on which roll calls she will vote? The vast majority of the 40 senators are not in the Senate chamber during a session because of the COVD-19 pandemic. Most are watching and listening to the session from their home, business or Statehouse offi ce and voting remotely. Senators’ votes are communicated to Senate offi cials during the session or prior to the session if senators are informed in advance that there will be a roll call vote. If a member wants to speak on an issue under consideration, they do so on a separate “debate phone line” and their voice is then heard in the Senate chamber and by anyone watching the broadcast online. 2021 SENATE ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS THROUGH MAY 14 The percentage listed next to the senator’s name is the percentage of roll call votes on which the senator voted. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Sen. Joseph Boncore 100 percent (0) 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 May 1014, the House met for a total of two hours and 48 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 46 minutes. Mon.

And I congratulate both her and the City Council itself for helping to raise awareness of the impact this health issue can have on so many individuals of any age, families and communities. As someone who retired from the state Department of Mental Health in 2013 with over 40 years of service in both direct care and as a police officer, I understand the importance of having mental health and celebrating recovery from mental illness. I saw the struggles in real time over decades and I saw the successes of many gaining control back over their often tortured lives. It was never easy for any of them, that’s why it’s called a struggle and not a vacation. Getting mentally healthy GOAL | FROM Page 4 (CDC). On June 15, Governor Charlie Baker will end the State of Emergency. The Administration also announced updates eff ective May 18, 2021, to revise face covering requirements for youth and amateur sports and other guidance relating to childcare programs and K-12 schools. The Administration will release updated guidance for summer camps. The Administration can take these steps to reopen the Commonwealth’s economy because Massachusetts is on track to meet the goal set in December to fully vaccinate more than four million individuals by the first week of June. The Commonwealth is a leading state in vaccinating residents. To date, more than four million residents have received a fi rst dose, with 3.2 million fully vaccinated. New cases have dropped by 89 percent since January 8, 2021. COVID-19 hospitalizations are down 88 percent since January 1, 2021, and the positive test rate is down by 88 percent after peaking at 8.7 percent on January 1, 2021. Effective May 29, all industries will be permitted to open.

Grammy Award and multi-platinum singer Michelle Williams’s greatest success was not her music or writing career but her battle within herself. She still might have low moods but now she understands why and has developed the necessary tools to combat those feelings. All of us, myself included, can be very complicated machines, at times more so than ever, and from time to time are in need of a good tune-up that gets us back on track. We all want mental wellness which goes without saying. Giannino is so right. She stated, “As someone who has struggled with anxiety for most of their adult life, it’s so personal to me that I acknowledge the importance of mental health and the impact it has on not only ourselves, but on our friends and families...It is so important to me to end the stigma of mental health issues.” People should never feel ashamed of seeking help because seeking help is not tems and facilities housing vulnerable populations, all industry restrictions will be lifted, and capacity will increase to 100 percent for all industries. The gathering limit will be rescinded. All industries will be encouraged to follow CDC guidance for cleaning and hygiene protocols. Last May the Administration published the reopening phases, which called for ending restrictions when vaccines became widely available. There are now more than 975 locations for Massachusetts residents to access vaccines without delay. Face covering guidance In line with updated CDC face covering guidance, the Administration will rescind the current face covering order and issue a new face covering advisory effective May 29. Non-vaccinated individuals are advised to continue wearing face masks and to continue distancing in most settings. The advisory will also recommend that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a face covering or social distance indoors or outdoors except for in certain situations.

About two weeks ago, I read a magazine article about Michelle Williams, who was a member of the popular 90s R&B girl group Destiny’s Child, along with Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles, before she became just the one word, Beyonce. Williams just finished her memoir which will hit the bookshelves later this month. Her book is called “How Getting Real About Depression Saved My Life and Can Save Yours.” In it she talks about her struggles with low mood. She struggled with it before she was rich and famous, and getting rich and famous didn’t stop the struggle. In 2018, she checked herself into a treatment facility and faced up to her depression and now wants to help others get to where she has arrived. There’s a great quote of hers that sums up quite well the struggle to recognize and get to mental wellness: “Depression is not who you are. It is certainly not who I am. There is so much more to you than what you’re feeling. And there’s so much more to me.” tions), healthcare facilities and providers, congregate care settings and health and rehabilitative day services. Face coverings will also remain required indoors for staff and students of K-12 schools and early education providers. Youth and amateur sports face covering guidance On May 18, 2021, the youth and amateur sports guidance was updated to no longer require face coverings for youth athletes 18 and under while playing outdoor sports. Eff ective May 29, all youth and amateur sports restrictions will be lifted. K-12, early education and summer camp guidance On May 18, 2021, guidance from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Early Education and Care was updated to no longer require masks for outdoor activities, such as recess, and to allow for the sharing of objects in classrooms, in both K-12 and childcare settings. This guidance will remain in eff ect beyond May 29. The Administration will release updated guidance for summer camps, eff ective May 29, which will include no longer requiring masks for outdoor activities.

As a result, the Patriots ended up with a 3-1 record. They scored convincing wins over Lynn Classical and Lynn English before taking it on the chin by 37 points at perennial Div.

The fi eld – once the pride of the city – has fallen victim to disrepair for close to a decade, according to McKenna, creating an eyesore and health hazard for neighbors. “I would just like to tell the residents that Revere does not own this property; it is owned by a private entity,” said McKenna. “Revere is trying to do everything it can to acquire it. The park is privately owned, and it is responsible for the condition that it is in; all we can do is fi ne the owners and make sure the fi eld is cleaned.” McKenna said that, although the fi eld is not owned by the city, she made the motion to request the mosquito spraying because of the danger presented by the amount of standing water on Last Friday’s win over the Mustangs featured a huge performance from running back Adetayo Atitebi, who broke open for 250 yards rushing. His production included two touchdown runs. In addition, quarterback Calvin Boudreau threw for 160 yards on 11 completions and two touchdowns. Receiver Jarrod Natola caught both scoring tosses. To its credit, winless Medford didn’t make it easy for the Patriots, as the Mustangs fought back from a double-digit deficit and made it interesting. But Revere's special teams and defense chipped in with the scoring. Dillon Day returned a blocked punt for one touchdown, and Cam Ventura returned an interception 20 yards for another score. “It was a wild one for sure. the property. Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe, who is actively involved in youth sports leagues in the city, said he gets a lot of calls about the state of the fi eld and it is well past time for the Little League Board of Directors to step up and work with the city about the state of the fi eld. “There isn’t a league; there hasn’t been for a number of years; there hasn’t been a fruitful league for probably close to 10 years,” said Keefe. “The park has been neglected by the board.” Keefe said city offi cials have offered support and to work with the board a number of times over the years to no avail. “It’s going to be up to the people that oversee that league, that oversee that fi eld, that are on the board – whoever’s left, to come out and say we’re probably going to have to turn it over to the city if the city is going to repair it and make it into some sort of playable shape,” said Keefe. “If you really care about what’s happening down there and you’re on the board, come on out and come work with the city, and we’ll make sure the Some of it was honestly a blur,” Head Coach Lou Cicatelli described to the press after the game. “All I know is it was back and forth all night and it was a three-hour game.” Having the 2020 fall campaign erased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Revere was prevented from having an opportunity to compete for a possible state title after the 10-1 season and two playoff wins in 2019. Cicatelli said he thought this year’s squad was a championship caliber unit. “It was defi nitely a successful year,” he said of this spring’s 3-1 eff ort. “We knew we had a good football team with 20 seniors. We wanted to be 4-0 but Everett was a buzz saw. Without COVID, I think we would have been right back to make a run in the tournament.” fi eld is being used for what it’s intended for.” McKenna said the city administration has sat down with the private owners and can’t get them to agree to what the city is asking. “Let the kids enjoy this beautiful fi eld instead of letting it sit there in water and disarray,” she said. “Do the right thing.” Councillor-at-Large Jessica Ann Giannino said it’s past the time to work with the owners, or even to continue levying fi nes. “If a property is abandoned, the city has the ability to take it by eminent domain,” she said. Several councillors said the state of the fi eld refl ects poorly on the city, since many people assume it is a municipal property. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky suggested putting some sort of cover over the fi eld and fencing so it doesn’t look like such an eyesore. Novoselsky said he’d also like to see the City Council take up more discussion about the future of the fi eld in its Parks & Recreation Subcommittee and to start making more noise about the issue.
