(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) Administrators review COVID policies for new school year By Adam Swift S tudents, staff and visitors will be required to wear masks inside and on busses when the new school year begins shortly in Revere. Social distancing measures will not be offi cially in place in the schools, but Assistant Superintendent of Schools Richard Gallucci said the schools will be taking as many steps as possible to encourage social distancing for students and staff . “All of our administrators are taking social distancing seriously, even though it is not technically by the letter of the law required,” Gallucci told the School Committee on Tuesday night. “They are never sacrifi cing space, whether it is in the classroom or in the lunchroom or having kids go outside to eat their lunch. They are really trying to social distance whenever they can, including the arrangement of desks and children and staff within the classroom.” One requirement that won’t be in place right away, but could be coming soon, is making sure all staff are either vaccinated or tested weekly. Mayor Brian Arrigo said he has been working with the Board of Health and Dr. Nathalee Kong, the city’s new Chief of Public Health and Human Services, on a citywide policy around vaccinations that includes municipal and school employees. “I think the general consensus has been, and I know Boston did announce this recently, to require folks to show proof of vaccination or be tested,” said Arrigo. He said the testing can be costly; however, there is a chance that the FDA could soon approve a cheaper testing option. “All that is to say we are prepping to have something to roll out, but I’ve been talking to my colleagues, and the thinking seems to be let’s wait for the FDA approval,” said Arrigo. A more concrete vaccination and testing proposal could be before the School Committee by the time of its September meeting, he said. Other COVID measures that will be in place when school starts include the continuation of pooled testing for COVID-19 and contact tracing by school nurses. There will also be multiple student entrances and exits in each school building to cut down on the congregation of students. “We will continue with the multiple arrival and dismissal points,” said Gallucci. “This is something that went very smoothly in the spring when we returned to school.” Another measure used by the schools in the spring to cut down on heavy student traffi c use, doing away with school lockers, will also continue for the time being. Gallucci noted that most students now use their Chromebooks for most of their reading and assignments rather than textbooks. He said the use of lockers could be revisited later in the year, especially when students start wearing bulkier outer layers in the winter. Also, visitors to the school will have to make appointments, unless it is an emergency. Gallucci said this will give staff a better handle on who is going in and out of the buildings. evere is now offi cially the fastest-growing city in Massachusetts. Recently, municipalities throughout the United States received their 2020 Census Data – the data shows Revere outpacing other cities across the Commonwealth with its population rising more than 20 percent since the last census a decade ago. Revere’s new population is 62,186. “The results of the 2020 Census are incredibly exciting for our city, Revere is now the fastest growing city in Massachusetts – which will bring more federal, state, and local resources to our community,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “As more housing options come online and we welcome more new residents, we have greater influence to advocate for what our city needs.” The City of Revere launched Revere Counts to support census eff orts and ensure an accurate count in the community. The initiative was led by Revere’s Director of Healthy Community POPULATION | SEE Page 20 Rep. Giannino announces appointment of DeFilippis as Legislative Aide BOSTON – State Representative Jessica Ann Giannino announced the appointment of Christopher A. DeFilippis as her legislative aide. “As State Representative of the Sixteenth Suffolk District, I am thrilled to announce Christopher A. DeFilippis will be serving as my State House aide on Beacon Hill. Having earned a finance degree from Merrimack College as well as having his senior thesis archived in the college library, Chris brings both analytic and literary skills to the offi ce of the State Representative,” said Giannino. “I am confi dent that with Chris taking on this role in my offi ce, we will continue to meet the needs and serve the people of Revere, Chelsea and Saugus.” The legislative aide’s duties have a wide spectrum: tracking the representative’s legislative and budgetary priorities, researching legislative issues and briefi ng the representative, and helping constituents navigate state government. “Chris’ past experience in both managerial and leadership roles will reinforce his success in dealing with daily responsibilities as CHRISTOPHER DEFILIPPIS well as any issues that may arise on short notice,” said Giannino. “I am so excited and honored to have been given the opportunity to work with Representative Giannino and to serve the community that I grew up in,” said DeFilippis. “I have a devoted love for my country, thus being able to work as a small facet of the Massachusetts State Government is a dream come true.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2021 Page 3 Schools look at busing options for new school year By Adam Swift W ith the first day of school just around the corner, administrators are considering a plan of action for a potential problem with bus transportation for the coming year. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly said offi cials are still crunching numbers to determine if more busses will need to be used by the schools this year, or if the district will offer transportation to fewer students at the middle and high school levels to avoid an increase in busses and cost. “Really, what it has to do with is the change in the schedule,” said Kelly. “Because we no longer have ELT [expanded learning time] schools, all of our elementary schools are getting out at the same time, and all our middle schools are getting out at the same time, as is our high school and Seacoast.” With the ELT schedule for some schools, Kelly said, it was possible for some busses and bus drivers to complete a route for high school students and then come back and do a route for students at the Garfi eld Middle School. Kelly said that option is no longer available. In addition, Kelly said the schools have been notifi ed by Healey, the district’s transportation partner, that they are having a hard time hiring additional drivers. “We have been studying what our bus demands would be for this school year, and where we might land with that,” said Kelly. The superintendent said the district surveyed the parents and caregivers of students who live more than a mile from their school to see what their needs are for transportation. Typically, at the secondary school level, the district has provided transportation for any student who requests it, Kelly said. Kelly said that if the School need to think about what’s viable,” said Kelly. “These two options … are a lot more viable than the one that says we’ll bus everyone for want of nine busses and nine drivers.” During last Tuesday night’s School Committee meeting, Kelly said administrators were still crunching the numbers and going over the fi nal results of the recent survey before making a final recommendation. Initial results from the surDR. DIANNE KELLY Superintendent of Schools Committee decides it wants to bus every student who lives a mile or more from school and every potential student took advantage of it, the district would need to hire nine additional bus drivers at a cost of just under $800,000. “If we go to the state limit and say that we want to transport students who live more than two miles from their schools, and this is just for the middle and high schools, we would be able to make that work with the 20 busses that we already have contracted with Healey,” said Kelly. Kelly said there are also some intermediate plans the School Committee could consider. If the district bused all middle and high school students who lived 1.5 miles or more from their schools, the district would need two additional busses at a cost of about $175,000. An option to keep the one-mile limit for middle school students to one mile and extend it to two miles for high school students would also require two additional busses. “We bring up all of these options because we think that even if we decide that we can do something and aff ord to extend our bus services, we really ConCom hears Revere Beach Boulevard apartment building proposal By Adam Swift T he Conservation Commission wants to conduct a site visit before approving a 360-unit, seven-story apartment building at 548-580 Revere Beach Blvd. The building, which is being proposed for the three-acre site by developer Mill Creek Residential, is allowed by right according to the city’s zoning ordinance, making last week’s Conservation Commission meeting the only local public hearing on the project. While the Conservation Commission is only concerned with the orders of conditions BUILDING | SEE Page 9 vey showed that there was a heavier demand from middle school students for transportation, but not a lot of demand at the high school level. “That puts us in a little better position in terms of having enough busses to serve all the middle schools and make sure everyone is transported,” Kelly said. The superintendent said the district could handle the costs of adding two additional busses. If nine additional busses were needed, Kelly said, the district would have to dip into reserve funds or use federal COVID relief funds that were not planned for transportation costs.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2021 Revere Beautification Committee Rand Street Named RBC “Beautiful Home” I n the city of Revere, very few homes have a lot of room in which they can beautify their property. This is the case in the Revere Beautifi cation Committee (RBC)’s latest choice to be named RBC Beautiful Home. So what does one do? Usually the owner takes advantage of every available inch of property and plants as many diff erent fl owers and bushes as is possible. This is what the Rand Street owner, Emilio Fusco, did at his home. Mr. Fusco has lived in his house for 20 years and spends 1 to 2 hours every other day to keep his property beautiful. The fi rst thing that is noticed is that the property is immaculate. Not a speck of debris is visible. The curved paved walk leading to the front door provides an interesting entry to the house. Along this walkway, on one side, there is a colorful assortment of pansies, nasturtium, and impatiens. The opposite side contains additional multicolored nasturtium and bushes. Along the front of the house at the end of the parking area, there is a low wall that is planted with an assortment of multi-colored fl owers and green vines. At the end of this all, there is a basket of yellow impatiens. A back yard has many fl owers that are visible from the street. Mr. Fusco’s pride in his home is obvious. He told the RBC that he “hopes that all owners would keep up their property in the city.” In that statement, the Revere Beautifi cation is in complete agreement and urges all home owners to do as Emilio Fusco has done — “keep up your property”. Pictured are Annette Bornstein, Mr. and Mrs. Emilio Fusco, and Eleanor Vieira.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2021 Page 5 Area doctors weigh in on threat of Delta variant to children under 12 By Christopher Roberson A s the Delta variant continues to be the predominant strain of COVID-19, children under the age of 12 remain defenseless. “Kids are extremely vulnerable,” said Dr. Lael Yonker, a pediatric pulmonologist at MassGeneral Hospital for Children. “Pediatric cases are going up; offi cials forget that kids are unvaccinated.” In addition, Yonker said Delta behaves the same way in children as it does in adults. “There’s no difference in how the virus acts, it’s just as contagious,” she said. Yonker said the pediatric vaccine is still going through clinical trials; however, it is expected to be available by the end of the year for children ages six to 11. “There defi nitely is pressure to move that up,” she said. Yonker said the second wave of the vaccine will be for children ages two to fi ve and should be available by next summer. The fi - nal wave, for children under the age of two, should be available by next fall. In May of this year, Yonker led a study that looked at Multisystem Infl ammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), an “extremely rare but serious” complication that can arise after a child recovers from COVID-19. The results of the study showed that particles from the initial COVID-19 infection can slowly infi ltrate a child’s bloodstream, causing MIS-C. “The team hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 viral particles found in the gastrointestinal tract of children move into the bloodstream, leading to the hyper infl ammatory immune response characteristic of MIS-C,” said Yonker. In addition, 80 percent of children with MIS-C also develop acute cardiac pathology, which can only be treated with an aggressive course of steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin. “Our next plan is to develop a clinical trial to study the effect of larazotide on clinical outcomes in MIS-C,” said Yonker. “To go from characterizing a new disease, to understanding its cause, to identifying a possible new treatment is just incredible.” Dr. Lisa Dobberteen, a pediatrician at Cambridge Health Alliance, said Delta currently triggers at least 85 percent of the COVID-19 cases in children unRevereTV Spotlight G oodbye to this summer’s RevereTV interns! RTV is sad to see the internship programs come to an end. Isabella, Angie, Arianna, and Chris were a great addition for the busiest month of the summer season. With their help, RTV was able to step up coverage of community events as the interns assisted at fi eld shoots and also during post production. Many of the past month’s short coverage segments were edited by an intern. Having some extra hands for productions also helped with content for the RTV social media accounts. The RevereTV staff has truly appreciated each intern this year and looks forward to hopefully learning about what they all move on to accomplish. The Rossetti-Cowan Senior Center hosted a concert event last Tuesday. A mariachi band played for the seniors and RevereTV recorded the event. This recording is now available to watch on the RTV Community Channel abutting the usual morning senior concert episodes. The most recent concert recordings will air every day throughout the next few weeks and then be placed in the typical daily concert rotation. RevereTV will have coverage of a few community events: the Shirley Ave. Night Market, Salsa Dancing at The Revere Farmer’s Market, and the Moroccan Cultural Festival. Before the Moroccan Cultural Festival, longtime RTV Community Member Rachid Moukhabir visited the studio to record a promotional video with co-host Ed Deveau. The two spoke about the history of the festival in Revere and what to expect in the future. This promo aired on RTV through the week leading up to the event. Coverage from the festival, the free activities at the Farmer’s Market and the happenings from Shirley Ave. will soon be airing on the RevereTV Community Channel and posted to YouTube. Up next at RevereTV, you will soon see a new episode of “Cooking Made Simple” with Chef Kelly Armetta. Armetta will be back in the studio this week with something new for you to make in your own kitchen. This show always premieres on the Community Channel, Facebook, and YouTube.

In terms of how the virus behaves in children compared to adults, Dobberteen said the biggest diff erence is that most children do not have preexisting health conditions. “As most children do not have underlying conditions that exacerbate COVID-19, they get a mild, fl ulike illness with cough, fever, sore throat, headache and fever,” she said. Dobberteen also said that without a test, it is nearly impossible to tell the diff erence between Delta and similar illnesses, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfl uenza. “As many children have mild respiratory symptoms with COVID-19, including the Delta variant as well as RSV and parainfl uenza, it may be hard to tell,” she said. “RSV may cause wheezing in young children under two, and parainfluenza may cause a croup-like illness with a barky cough.” Despite the rise of the Delta variant, Dobberteen agreed with state offi cials regarding the mandatory return to in-person learning. “Many children have had a very diffi cult time with remote learning and missing their teachers and peers over the past 18 months,” she said. “We know that children need to return to school in person and that they Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

Raymond Popp’s sons – John, Richard, Robert and Raymond Popp – his daughter Virginia Steck and Veterans Service Offi cer Marc Silvestri related to the project being in a buff er zone for coastal dune and salt marsh resource areas, the developer and project engineer did give a larger overview of the proposal. “Our proposal is for a multi-family, apartment residential building,” said Tim Alexander of Mill Creek Residential. “We have had multiple meetings with the city planning staff and other folks within the city over the past few months for our proposal. This is in the RC1 zoning district, and our proposal is to create a by-right project that follows all local zoning ordinances.” That includes the ordinances for parking, with 570 parking spaces for the 360 units, and building height. The new apartment complex is short 47 parking spaces. A maximum height of 120 feet is allowed in the district, and the Mill Creek proposal comes in at approximately 87 feet, according to project engineer Rick Salvo of Engineering Alliance in Saugus. The parcel was before the Raymond Popp’s oldest son, Richard, said his father earned a Silver Star and two Purple Hearts. Veterans Service Offi cer Marc Silvestri addresses the attendees. Conservation Commission about a year ago, where the potential conservation impacts were identified, said Salvo. “We were issued an order that identifi ed a salt marsh off -site to the back with a 100foot buff er zone that extends onto the property, and it identifi ed the limit of the 100-year fl ood plain,” said Salvo. “There is also a coastal dune across the street at the limit of Revere Beach that has a buff er zone that extends onto the project.” Salvo said there will be a two-way driveway at the southern end of the property, adjacent to the Beach House development. “Similar to other buildings in the area, people will be able to travel to the rear of the property and enter a lower level garage,” said Salvo. There will also be a oneway access drive around the building which is earmarked for deliveries, trash removal and other uses besides resident traffi c. “Utility connections will be made to the existing 10-inch waterline that is in Revere Beach Boulevard, and gas service will be connected, as well,” said Salvo. Like many parcels along Revere Beach Boulevard, Salvo said, the sewer lines run down the middle of the parcels. The sewer line will be moved to the rear of the property and upgraded from a 15-inch to an 18-inch line, he said. “In terms of stormwater management, there are 560 linear feet of 66-inch perforated pipe that will be installed along the whole frontage of the property,” said Salvo. “It will be sized to handle a 100-year storm event and to mitigate all the roof runoff from this site.” BUILDING | SEE Page 20 J& $45 yd.

Preseason fall sports start toBy Steve Freker A s the 2021-22 school year unfolds, the high school sports kickoff this fall will easily be the most anticipated and closely watched sports season of the entire millennium. The once-in-100-years COVID-19 pandemic has stopped, started, changed, reconstructed and simply dominated high school day, with the beginning of football conditioning workouts, followed by soccer, other fall sports and cheerleading on Monday; it is full steam ahead. The season opener for football is just three short weeks away for many high school football teams, with other sports opening regular season play a few days earlier in September. For the eight teams that make up the Greater Boston League (GBL) – Chelsea, Everett, Lynn English, Lynn Classical, Malden, Medford, Revere and Somerville – this will be the fi rst full season and fi rst full year together in the newly reformed league. It was earlier this year that the MIAA formally approved the entry of the newest league members, Lynn English and Lynn Classical, into GBL from their former league, the Northeastern Conference (NEC), with no waiting period. Chelsea and Revere had been accepted in the months leading up to that further expansion. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the hand of the GBL last fall and winter seasons during the 2020-21 school year, and the league powers-that-be decided to push back the various seasons’ start dates to February for the Winter Sports, like basketball and hockey, March for The 2021-22 High School sports season starts today with preseason football practices for Everett High School (above), Malden High, Revere High and the rest of the Greater Boston League schools as well as those across Massachusetts.

Malden High fi rst-year Head Coach Witche Exilhomme said he is looking forward to his fi rst day at the helm and is happy the fi rst workout is fi nally here. “The players and coaches have waited all summer for this day and now it is time to really get to work,” said Coach Exilhomme, who is a former Golden Tornado (Class of 2012) and American International College (AIC) standout.

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 representatives’ roll call attendance records for the 2021 session through August 13, 3021. The House has held 89 roll calls so far in 2021. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each representative was present and voting 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. The vast majority of the 160 representatives are not in the House chamber during a session because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources tell Beacon Hill Roll Call that they have seen as few as 12 members in the chamber and as many as 40. The remainder are watching the session from their home or business and voting remotely.

On Friday, Sept. 3, the Tide will play Peabody in its fi nal tune-up, a game scrimmage on the road. Revere HS Head Coach Lou Cicatelli and the Patriots football Here’s how the remote voting system works: Eight appointed monitors are required to be present in the House chamber and are each given the task of recording the votes of approximately 20 members who are watching the session remotely from their home or business office. Each monitor has their 20 members on a conference call and fi lls out a form indicating how each member voted. The sheets are given to the court offi cers who then give them to the House Clerk who verifi es that the correct totals have been recorded on the sheet and that the sheet is signed by the monitor. The assistant clerk records the yeas and nays in the roll call computer, which activates the green (voted YES) or red (voted NO) lights on the electronic roll call board. Members participating remotely then have the opportunity to see on the broadcast how they are recorded so that they can verify that their vote is recorded accurately. The tally is then displayed on the roll call board and the presiding offi cer announces the totals and the result of the vote. If a member wants to speak on an issue under consideration, they leave the conference call temporarily. Using a different telephone, they call into a line that patches them into the debate. Their voice is then heard in the House chamber and by those watching the broadcast online. In the House, 88.7 percent (142 representatives out of 160) did High junior Abby Tang, a threetime GLB All-Star, who was named a Boston Herald AllScholastic for her exploits in pool for the Golden Tornadoes swim team. Tang served as a team captain for Malden and was the GBL champion in the 200-individual medley, 100-butterfl y and 100-freestyle. For her career, Tang has qualifi ed for the sectionals and states in both relay events as well as individual competition.

Other Malden High players named to the GBL All-Star Team were Makayla Preston, David Lombardi and Tony Giech. not miss any roll calls and have 100 percent roll call attendance records while 11.3 percent (18 representatives out of 160) have missed one or more roll calls. The representative who missed the most roll calls is Rep. Meghan Kilcoyne (D-Northborough) who missed 15, resulting in an 83.1 percent attendance record. Rounding out the top six representatives who have missed the most roll calls are Reps. Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate) who missed eight roll calls (91.0 percent attendance record); Chynah Tyler (D-Roxbury) and David LeBoeuf (D-Worcester) who both missed four roll calls (95.5 percent attendance records); Ann-Margaret Ferrante (D-Gloucester) who missed three roll calls (96.6 percent roll call attendance record); and Michelle DuBois (D-Brockton) who missed two roll calls (97.7 attendance record.) Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted these six legislators and asked each one for a comment on his or her attendance record. Only three responded: Reps. Kilcoyne, Kearney and Ferrante. “I was forced to miss one full formal session because I sat for the Massachusetts Bar Exam at the end of July,” said Kilcoyne. “My absence is recorded in the House Journal along with the explanation for the missed votes on that one day.

How to Buy the Best Blood Pressure Monitor for You Dear Savvy Senior, I just found out I have stage 1 hypertension and my doctor recommended I get a home blood pressure monitor to keep an eye on it. Can you off er me any tips on choosing a good one? Hypertensive Helen Dear Helen, It’s a smart idea! Everyone with elevated or high blood pressure (stage 1 and higher) should consider getting a home blood pressure monitor. Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure in a comfortable setting. Plus, if you’re taking medication it will make certain it’s working, and alert you to a health problem if it arises. Here are some tips to help you choose a good monitor. Types of Monitors The two most popular types of home blood pressure monitors sold today are automatic arm monitors, and automatic wrist monitors that are electric and/ or battery powered. With an automatic arm monitor, you simply wrap the cuff around your bicep and with the push of one button the cuff infl ates and defl ates automatically giving you your blood pressure reading on the display window in a matter of seconds. Wrist monitors work similarly, except they attach to the wrist. Wrist monitors are also smaller in weight and size, which makes them more portable, and a bit more comfortable to use than the arm monitors, but they tend to be a little less accurate. To help you choose the best monitor for you, here are several things to check into: Make sure it fi ts: Be sure the cuff fits the circumference of your upper arm. Using a cuff that’s the wrong size can result in an inaccurate reading. Most arm models have two sizes or an adjustable cuff that fi ts most people. Wrist models also fi t most people. Choose one that’s easy to use: Be sure the display on the monitor is easy to read, and that the buttons are large. The directions for applying the cuff and operating the monitor should be clear. Consider what extra features you want: Many automatic monitors come with additional features such as irregular heartbeat detection that checks for arrhythmias and other abnormalities; a risk category indicator that tells you whether your blood pressure is in the high range; a data-averaging function that allows you to take multiple readings and get an overall average; multiple user memory that allows two or more users to save their readings; and downloadable memory that lets you transmit your data to your computer or smartphone. Where to Buy You can fi nd blood pressure monitors at pharmacies, medical supply stores or online, and you don’t need a prescription to buy one. Prices typically range between $40 and $100. In most cases, original Medicare will not cover a home blood pressure monitor, but if you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a private health insurance policy it’s worth checking into, because some plans may provide coverage. The best automatic arm monitors as recommended by Consumer Reports include the Omron Platinum BP5450 ($75), Omron Silver BP5250 ($50) and the Omron 10 Series BP7450 ($100); A&D Medical UA767F ($45); and Rite Aid Deluxe Automatic BP3AR1-4DRITE ($37). And the top wrist monitors are the Omron 7 Series BP6350 ($80); and the Equate (Walmart) 4500 Series ($40). After you buy a monitor, it’s a good idea to take it to your doctor’s office so they can check its accuracy and teach you the proper techniques of how and when to use it.

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 latenight 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 August 9-13, the House met for a total of 35 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 46 minutes. Mon.
