Vo Vote on Tuesday, Sept. 6th Election Day Tu Vol. 31, No.35 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday Revere goes to the polls in state primary election on Tuesday Election Commissioner Paul Fahey expects a moderate turnout By Adam Swift P olls are open in Revere on Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the state primary election. Locally, there looks to be little intrigue, as both Democratic state representatives whose districts include parts of Revere are running unopposed in the primary. Jessica Giannino in the 16th Suff olk District, and Jeff Turco in the 19th Suffolk District both look like sure things for reelection in the state general election on Nov. 8, as well, as there are no candidates for those offi ces on the Republican ballot. Revere Election Commissioner Paul Fahey said he expects a moderate turnout. The last state primary with constitutional offi cers on the ballot – in 2018 – saw a 16 percent voter turnout in Revere, he said.

Mayor Arrigo Announces New Updates for Residents Of 370 Ocean Avenue Judge Orders Water’s Edge to Fund Relocation of Residents and Supports the City’s Longstanding Call for Life Safety Improvements REVERE - Mayor Brian M. Arrigo announced this week new updates for the displaced residents of 370 Ocean Avenue, the site of a fi re on June 21, 2022. In good news for those still without permanent housing, the Court upheld the complaint delivered by the City on behalf of five residents. The Court ordered Carabetta Company, owners of the Water's Edge Apartments, to provide temporary housing for residents and ordered the company to hire an outside Project Manager and/or Registered Design Professional to complete the long-standing lifesafety and remediation eff orts necessary at the property. "This order is a step in the right direction and a win for our residents," said Mayor Arrigo. "The City of Revere will continue to take every legal action available to hold the Carabetta company accountable for their continued disregard for their properties and tenants." The City of Revere, on behalf of 5 residents who came forward, fi led for injunctive relief as many of them have remained unhoused, living in cars and other unacceptable conditions. In granting the relief, the Court noted: "This Court is unpersuaded that Water's Edge comes to this Court with fully clean hands. Many of the violations cited in the Order to Correct issued by the City suggest a pattern and practice of patchwork repairs (for example, the corroded fi re pump platform and the semioperational fire doors) and outright neglect (for example, the missing fi re extinguishers, the open windows in the stairwells aff ecting the operation of fi re suppression systems, and the overdue failure to replace the fi re alarm system.) In this Court's view, the fi re may not have been "caused" by Water's Edge, but there is signifi cant evidence suggesting that the extent of the damages could have been mitigated if Water's Edge had maintained its fi re systems in accordance with the applicable code requirements." For those reasons and others, an injunction and ordered Water's Edge to provide within fi ve days of the notice either hotel accommodations with kitchen facilities in a Revere-area hotel or an alternative temporary apartment in a habitable unit in another building at the Water's Edge apartment complex. Further, the Court ordered that by September 1, 2022, Water's Edge Partnership must either prepay for hotel accommodations through the month of September for each plaintiff or have moved each tenant into alternative housing. This matter will have a status hearing on October 20, 2022. In granting the City of Revere injunctive relief against Water's Edge, the Court noted, "There is risk of irreparable harm to the City and its citizens if the Court does not intervene and closely monitor and manage Water's Edge's remediation eff orts." In the City's case against Water's Edge, the Court ordered Water's Edge to complete and the Court granted the residents HOUSING | SEE Page 10 ‘

The updated regulations, which were approved by the board at its August 25 meeting, also codify the fi nes and license suspension lengths for businesses that sell cigarettes or other tobacco products to minors. The vote came after a lengthy discussion of the ordinance at the board’s July meeting. One of the biggest changes in the city’s ordinance is the so-called “advanced cap” that OUR OFFICE HAS MOVED TO 519 BROADWAY, EVERETT SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: Rocco Longo, Owner WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM will lower the number of tobacco sales permits in the city. “This was a big change that we made,” said Public Health Director Lauren Buck. “As of the eff ective date of this regulation, any permits surrendered, revoked, or not renewed, either because the retailer no longer sells tobacco products as defined herein, or because the retailer closes, the retail (permit) shall be returned to the Revere Board of Health and shall be permanently retired by the board of health and the total allowable number of tobacco sales permits shall be reduced by the number of the retired permit.” Revere currently has 60 retail tobacco sales permits. “This means that our total number of permits will always be decreasing from here on out, if the existing permits are surrendered for the reasons listed,” said Buck. The regulations will continue to permit two adults-only retail tobacco businesses in the city and prohibit issuing a tobacco permit to a business that is within 500 feet of a public or private school. The penalties for selling tobacco products to minors were set at a suspension of three consecutive business days and a $1,000 fi ne for the fi rst violation within 36 months, a seven-day suspension and $2,000 fi ne, and a suspension of 30 or 60 days and a $5,000 fi ne for the third violation. “We went through this extensively at the last meeting, and my viewpoint is that the decisions we made were the right ones,” said Board of Health Chair Dr. Drew Bunker. “I feel comfortable with the regulations as they are now.” The board unanimously approved the updated regulations. In other business, the board read a proclamation from Mayor Brian Arrigo declaring the week of Sept. 4 to Sept. 10 as National Suicide Prevention Week.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2022 Page 3 Councillors want greater MassDOT maintenance accountability By Adam Swift S everal City Councillors are unhappy with MassDOT’s DAN RIZZO Councillor-at-Large lack of maintenance of several areas in the city for which the agency is responsible. At last week’s meeting, Councillor-atLarge Dan Rizzo requested that the mayor contact the state transportation department to clean up areas under its jurisdiction in and around Bell Circle. Rizzo said there are numerous shopping carts, trash and debris, as well as the median strip on American Legion Highway in need of a cleanup. Rizzo said the Bell Circle area isn’t the only area in the city in need of attention from MassDOT. “There are a lot of areas I noticed,” said Rizzo. “Going up onto the onramp onto Rte. 1 on Sargent Street, it’s fi lthy over there. For whatever reason, it is just not being maintained and taken care of. “Our public works department takes care of what they are responsible for; I’m just asking, and we are all asking, that the DOT take care of their jurisdiction.” Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna said that many of the areas under MassDOT maintenance jurisdiction were under the jurisdiction of the state’s Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) until last year. “The DOT is not keeping up with anything,” said McKenna. “It took me a month and a half to have an island cut where the Sunoco station is going into Shirley Avenue.” Once a new governor is elected, McKenna said, the council should consider contacting the governor to have the jurisdiction for the maintenance switched back to the DCR. “I do think that the DCR has the equipment and the MassDOT doesn’t,” said McKenna. “There is a real problem, and it looks disgusting.” Typically, Rizzo said, he gets a response from the DOT, but he said the response was delayed when it came to the request to clean up the area around Bell Circle. “It’s embarrassing that people drive through the city and see the condition it’s in,” he said. At a minimum, Rizzo said, the city might consider bringing in prison crews or Roca (a local nonprofi t) to help clean up the areas. “MassDOT is supposed to do it and gets paid to do it, so why get Roca or someone else? That’s their responsibility,” said McKenna. DEA Warns of Brightly-Colored Fentanyl Used to Target Young Americans WASHINGTON – The Drug Enforcement Administration is advising the public of an alarming emerging trend of colorful fentanyl available across the United States. In August 2022, DEA and our law enforcement partners began seizing brightlycolored fentanyl and fentanyl pills in 18 states. Dubbed “rainbow fentanyl” in the media, this trend appears to be a new method used by drug cartels to sell highly addictive and potentially deadly fentanyl made to look like candy to children and young people. “Rainbow fentanyl—fentanyl pills and powder that come in a variety of bright colors, shapes, and sizes—is a deliberate eff ort by drug traffi ckers to drive addiction amongst kids and young adults,” said DEA Administrator Anne Milgram. “The men and women of the DEA are relentlessly working to stop the traffi cking of rainbow fentanyl and defeat the Mexican drug cartels that are responsible for the vast majority of the fentanyl that is being traffi cked in the United States.” Brightly-colored fentanyl is being seized in multiple forms, including pills, powder, and blocks that resembles sidewalk chalk. Despite claims that certain colors may be more potent than others, there is no indication through DEA’s laboratory testing that this is the case. Every color, shape, and size of fentanyl should be considered extremely dangerous. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Just two milligrams of fentanyl, which is equal to 10-15 grains of table salt, is considered a lethal dose. Without laboratory testing, there is no way to know how much fentanyl is concentrated in a pill or powder. Fentanyl remains the deadliest drug threat facing this country. According to the CDC, 107,622 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021, with 66 percent of those deaths related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Drug poisonings are the leading killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. Fentanyl available in the United States is primarily supplied by two criminal drug networks, the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). In September 2021, DEA launched the One Pill Can Kill Public Awareness Campaign to educate Americans about the dangers of fake pills. Additional resources for parents and the community can be found on DEA's Fentanyl Awareness page. If you encounter fentanyl in any form, do not handle it and call 911 immediately. This weekend and throughout the year, we celebrate all those who work to make our community better. 100 Salem Turnpike, Saugus, MA 01906 WIN-WASTE.COM

Rain or Shine Outdoor shelter provided Capital Program, the MBTA’s Capital Delivery Bridge & Structures team will perform a complete replacement of the Commercial Street Bridge in Lynn as part of the Commercial Street Bridge Replacement Project from September 16 through September 20. “Part of the T’s modernization and safety work to replace six bridges on various Commuter Rail lines, the upcoming work taking place on the Commercial Street Bridge will result in a brand new bridge that provides safer, more reliable service to Newburyport/Rockport Line riders,” said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. “We know the traffi c impacts and service diversion resulting from the bridge replacement can be a frustration to drivers, riders, and others, and we appreciate the patience of the community while we work to complete this critical project.” The Commercial Street Bridge carries the Newburyport/Rockport Commuter Rail Line over Commercial Street in Lynn between River Works station and Lynn Station. The steel bridge, which was built in 1913, is nearing the end of its useful life and will be replaced to meet the MBTA’s reliability and modernization needs. The new bridge will have a projected service life of 75 years, will reduce future maintenance costs and service impacts, and will provide riders with safer, more resilient, more reliable ride on the Newburyport/Rockport Line. The project is anticipated to be complete this fall 2022. More Information About the Bridge Move: From 8 PM on Friday, September 16, through 4 AM on Tuesday, September 20, the MBTA’s contractor for the Project will safely remove the existing bridge and move the new bridge superstructure into place. To accommodate the bridge move, Commercial Street will be closed from 8 PM on Friday, September 16, through 6 AM on Monday, September 19. Variable message boards will be installed to display the most upto-date information and a detour map can be viewed on the project website. Immediately following the bridge move, crews will shift to follow-up work at the bridge from 6 AM on Tuesday, September 20, through 6 AM on Saturday, September 24. During this work, Commercial Street will be closed nightly from 8 PM each night to 6 AM the following morning. This work will be completed during a planned diversion of Newburyport/Rockport Line Commuter Rail service. Information for riders will be available soon on T-Alerts.

Brown, Esq. Patricia Ridge, Esq. Gerry ZBA approves changes for proposed Popeyes site By Adam Swift D erby Street residents concerned about a Popeyes fast-food restaurant opening at the end of their street on Squire Road have seen several measures taken over the past month to address some of their fears. At the August 24 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, the board unanimously approved a variance limiting the restaurant to nine parking spaces. Under the city’s zoning regulations, 13 would have been required for the 304 Squire Rd. restaurant. The City Council granted a special permit for a drive-through window at the proposed Popeye’s back in May. “What we are seeking today is a reduction in the number of parking spaces from the requested 13 to nine, and we are also seeking a reduction in the width of the travel aisle toward the rear of the property,” said Attorney Chris Cridler, the attorney for applicant Revere Dev LLC. “We had the opportunity to speak to many of the community, and they actually preferred to have the ability to have a buff er between the Derby Street wall and the travel lane for the property itself. If necessary, we can add the additional four spots in that buff er because it is not required by the ordinance, but we want to try to accommodate the community the best as we possibly can.” The buff er will include vegetation and some additional trees, according to Cridler. He also noted that the only access to the restaurant will be on Squire Road. The restaurant will have about 14 seats – Cridler added that the majority of business is done through the drive-through. “It’s been that way for many, many diff erent fast-food restaurants, specifi cally since the pandemic,” said Cridler. During the public hearings for the special permit for the drivethrough window in front of the City Council earlier this year, a number of residents said they were concerned about increased traffi c down Derby Street and surrounding roads, as well as additional litter from the restaurant. Several residents noted that the neighborhood already deals with an infl ux of additional traffi c and trash from the existing fastfood restaurants and businesses on Squire Road. Earlier in August, the city’s Traffic Commission approved some changes for the neighborhood off Squire Road near the Popeyes site to limit traffi c, including making the area of Derby Street near Squire Road a temporary one-way street heading toward Squire so cars on that busy street would not be able to turn onto Derby.

MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak also detailed the MBTA’s progress to date on addressing the report’s fi ndings, several of which the MBTA has already completed or is undertaking now. The MBTA announced Katie Choe, an over20-year veteran of construction management and safety oversight, will focus solely on launching the Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Offi ce, which will operate outside of the T’s current organizational structure and implement actions to address the report’s fi ndings. The Offi ce will also report publicly every month on the T’s progress toward implementing the FTA’s directives. “The MBTA’s number one priwww.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM ority remains safety for both our riders and our employees. We are grateful to the FTA for their recommendations as we build on numerous actions and initiatives already in place across the organization to strengthen our safety management,” said General Manager Poftak. “Under the leadership of Katie Choe, I am confi dent that through the Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Offi ce, the MBTA will be better positioned to address the challenges it has faced and implement changes to the organization and system to provide a safer and more reliable T.” The FTA’s August 31 SMI reWE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 STAY SAFE! port found four categories for the MBTA to improve upon. They included: • Managing the impact of operations, maintenance, and capital projects requirements on the available workforce; • Prioritization of Safety Management Information; • Eff ectiveness of Safety Communication; and • Operating conditions and policies, procedures, and training. To address these areas, the FTA ordered the MBTA to carry out 53 total actions. Today, the MBTA has either implemented or began the process of implementing half of those including: • Safety has facilitated multiple new safety risk management workshops over the past two months in coordination with management and subject matter experts from outside departments. The workshops have allowed for proactive hazard identifi cation and mitigation in areas including hiring, training & certifi cation, and fi eld-based exercises working with Operations, Maintenance, Training, and Human Resources. • The Safety Department has also expanded its safety meeting framework to include performance-focused safety data reviews with senior managers and executives, and will continue to use this meeting framework for review and discussion of datadriven safety analyses and risk management. • Radio dead spots have been confi rmed with frontline staff , and a regular reporting and confi rmation has been established with the majority of spots resolved. The MBTA will begin working on the additional actions immediately and will continue to seek FTA approval as it progresses through the directives. Building on the MBTA’s safety management plan as well as initiatives and projects in place, the MBTA has established the Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Offi ce led by Katie Choe, reporting directly to the General Manager to implement all of the FTA’s recommended actions. The Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Offi ce will focus on assessing, recruiting, and hiring as part of workforce management, collecting and analyzing safety data, instilling safety culture across the organization, and improving operating practices. Progress on these initiatives will be reported monthly to the MBTA Board of Directors. “The Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Offi ce will help support the MBTA’s over-6,000 employees, from track walkers to inspectors to operators and motorpersons by giving them the tools they need to succeed, including training, documentation, and support systems as we continue to implement the recommended actions presented in the FTA’s report,” said MBTA Director of Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Katie Choe. “I have seen fi rst-hand, through countless New England winters, events like championship parades and in their everyday work, the perseverance, effort, and focus of the MBTA workforce and I am confi dent that they will rise to the occasion again.” Katie Choe has currently served as the MBTA’s Chief of Capital Delivery since January 2020, where she has led and delivered on many major infrastructure projects that support and transform the entirety of MBTA’s subway, MBTA | SEE Page 9 Monogram D4 Double siding Cedar impression half rounds Harvey Vinyl 64 Replacement Windows Custom Aluminum Trim work Windows & Doors Top quality Vinyl Siding! •Vinyl Siding •Carpentry Work •Decks •Roofing •Free Estimates •Replacement Windows •Fully Licensed •Fully Insured
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2022 Page 7 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ Troubling New Research on Political Bias and Bigotry by Dr. Luke Conway T alk about a strange political year. African Americans and Jewish Americans are typically the two most reliable liberal voting blocks in the country, and yet there have been troubling news stories and now data regarding the people who support them. For example, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar sparked outrage by doubling down on comments many perceived to be anti-semitic. She is a Democrat who typically gets Democrat votes. Such left-wing hostilities towards Jews have become so bad in the United States that some American Jews are openly considering leaving the country and moving to Israel. Similar diffi culties face African Americans. Ilhan Omar’s controversy arrived barely two months after the racist “Uncle Tim” attacks propagated by liberals at African American Senator Tim Scott. These attacks were so markedly racist that the trend had to be shut down by Twitter. More recently, similarly racist “Uncle Clarence” attacks were levied at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after he voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. White liberals on Twitter even invoked the “N-word,” and were called out in a remarkable piece by a Columbia University sociology professor. These are the kind of racist behaviors that many associate with conservatives. But to be clear: Those are liberals expressing racist vitriol towards blacks and Jews. And again, blacks and Jews tend to faithfully vote for liberal Democrats. Of course, it is easy to pass off such vitriol as primarily political and not targeted at racial or ethnic groups. And indeed, social psychological research has demonstrated for years that both liberals and conservatives tend to show more biases against racial groups when they think members of those groups disagree with them politically. For example, a well-known study showed that the conservative bias against blacks was essentially because most conservatives believed that blacks tended to be politically liberal. However, when faced with black conservatives, the usual pattern reversed, and liberals—not conservatives—showed a dislike for blacks. Although politically motivated, this does not mean such biases have no societal consequences. After all, these are real ethnic groups and the dislike for them isn’t fi ctitious, no matter its motive. And that should matter. To better understand what is going on, in two recent studies, I and my colleagues tried to parse whether or not liberals and conservatives actually like representative members of these two groups. To do so, we took a trait from each group that is strongly empirically associated with the group in the real world and asked people what they thought about the resulting representative set of group members. So, for African Americans, we asked participants what they thought of “African American women/men who believe in the Bible.” This is a trait highly representative of African Americans: In the modern United States, Pew Data reveal that 77% of African Americans believe that “the Bible is the Word of God.” For Jews, we asked participants how they felt about “Jewish women/ men who are strong supporters of the nation of Israel's interests.” This is a trait highly representative of American Jews, with Gallup survey estimates suggesting that 90% of Jews in the United States show support for Israel. So what happens if you ask people about African American and Jewish persons in this way? The data could not be Appian Club Children Italian Classes T he Appian Club, 100 Fallon St. Stoneham, will be conducting children Italian class. Registration will be Saturday, Sept. 10 with classes beginning on Sept 17. Child must be 6 years old and classes will last for one hour and extend for twenty weeks. Depending on covid concerns and student enrollment, the class will be held on Saturday mornings. For further details, please contact Sandra DiRenzo at 781-396-5012. Adult Italian Classes Adult Italian classes via ZOOM will be starting on the week of Sept. 12. The cost will be $150 for eight weeks. For further details, please contact Tiff any at 570-498-5780 or tiff anybistocchi@gmail.com. more clear: Many liberals really dislike both African Americans and Jewish persons who possess these highly representative traits; and conservatives like them just fi ne. That doesn’t mean that all liberals are racist, of course. In fact, our data clearly show that certain types of authoritarian liberals are particularly prone to disliking these groups. And it is worth noting that both of the traits selected and highlighted—being religious and supporting Israel—are traits people associate with conservatives. Both African Americans and Jewish Americans also possess collective traits that, if highlighted, would lead liberals to like them more (and conservatives to like them less). So this fi nding is likely is more about strong partisan beliefs than about racial or ethnic groups per se.

She has served in a number of transportation construction roles in the public sector for over 20 years. Prior to joining the MBTA, Katie worked as Chief Engineer and Director of Construction Management at the City of Boston Public Works Department where she oversaw a range of sectors including construction management, asset management, utility coordination, and resiliency initiatives. At Boston Public Works, Choe led the development of the award-winning Public Works Climate Resilient Design Standards, the StreetCaster equity-based infrastructure investment strategy, and was responsible for an annual $40 million construction program. She began her career in various roles at Massport, including as a construction project manager, Sustainability Program Manager, and Assistant Director of Capital Programs, overseeing the development of the awardwinning Sustainable Design Standards and Guidelines and responsible for the development and implementation of Massport’s fi veyear, $1 billion capital plan. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering through the Construction Management Program from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is an active member of Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) and WTS, serves on the CMAA Board of Governors, and served as Chair of the Construction Management Certification Institute Board of Governors. This year, she was honored as the WTS-Boston 2022 Woman of the Year. In addition, the MBTA has taken several other immediate steps to address these actions, including engagement with stakeholders and union groups and development of a series of Requests for Proposals (RFQs) designed to provide support for MBTA staff . The MBTA is targeting the end of the week to issue RFQs directly related to the scope of the Offi ce. With a goal of the T’s workforce fully embracing a safety-fi rst culture and adopting its practices for sustained improvement, the T’s unions and MBTA leadership, including the General Manager, began meeting at the end of last week in order to engage these groups on workforce safety communications and meetings on safety themes and issues. Also, based on the FTA’s concerns regarding the MBTA’s ability to balance larger capital projects and day-to-day maintenance, MassDOT will lead an engagement with a consultant to investigate the potential benefi ts of a multi-modal large construction unit apart from the MBTA and other agencies of MassDOT that would develop, design, construct, and deliver large capital assets to the operating agencies, relieving them from the burden of managing large capital projects while also trying to maintain day-to-day maintenance. The MBTA has already employed this type of project management with the Green Line Extension and South Coast Rail projects, as they are separate projects reporting directly to the General Manager, but this new engagement will investigate the opportunities to expand this model. Today, Governor Charlie Baker is fi ling a supplemental budget that includes $200 million for the MBTA to provide additional resources towards addressing the FTA’s safety directives and ensuring a safe, reliable transit network for its riders. The supplemental budget also includes $10 million for MassDOT, in collaboration with the MBTA, to develop a training academy to create a talent pipeline to address the staffi ng challenges at the MBTA. Over the last several months, the MBTA has continued to make progress on the FTA’s initial safety concerns through safety plans to address track conditions and maintenance, updated safety trainings and directives, and has addressed staffi ng shortages. The MBTA has met all the FTA’s deadlines and requirements to date in response to the four special directives issued.

Page 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2022 Lady Patriots soccer teams readying for 2022 season By Greg Phipps W ith two consecutive impressive full seasons under their belt, the Revere High School girls' soccer team is looking to continue that trend in 2022. The Patriots participated in a preseason scrimmage on Tuesday at the Revere High School fi eld and looked strong defensively against Watertown. In a game where neither team was able to get much done offensively, Revere was looking to build on the regular-season success of the 2019 and '21 campaigns. Back in 2019, the Patriots put Revere’s Samarah Paiva tries to race past a Watertown defender on Tuesday. As seen on: forth an incredible 14-2-3 eff ort and took home the Greater Boston League (GBL) title. The 2020 season was essentially made obsolete (a lot less games and no playoff s) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

GBL championship. They went 9-4-1 overall in league play, and eventually lost 6-0 in the opening round of the Div. 3 playoff s. No doubt, Revere will miss the presence of star forward Carolina Bettero, who graduated last year. Bettero amassed 100 goals for her career and was the major off ensive threat for the Patriots. She will be hard to replace. Revere opens the regular season next Tuesday, Sept. 6, with an away league game at Medford. The Patriots then travel to Somerville on Thursday the 8th and play their home opener on Tuesday, Sept. 13, against Lynn Classical at the Revere High School fi eld. Pats Head coach Megan O'Donnell led the Patriots to a 27-8-4 overall record in 2019 and '21 (not counting the abbreviated '20 season). One area Revere will be looking to improve on will be playoff success, as the Patriots, who lost in the opening round of the tourney in 2019 and last year, would like to achieve some tournament success this fall. For the boys' soccer team, Revere won 11 games back in 2019 and made the playoff s again in 2021. Last year, the boys lost a heartbreaking, hard-fought 2-1 battle in overtime to Central Catholic in the opening round of the Div. I playoff s. The Patriot boys open their season by hosting Medford next Tuesday, Sept. 6, and remain home for a game against Somerville on Thursday the 8th. The boys have had a busy preseason by participating in several scrimmages.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2022 Page 13 Cicatelli’s 21st season leading Revere HS Football Daily Check-In Services for Seniors Living Alone Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any services that check in on elderly seniors who live alone? I live about 200 miles from my 82-yearold mother and worry about her falling or getting ill and not being able to call for help. Worrywart Daughter Dear Worrywart, There are actually several different types of check-in services, along with some simple technology devices that can help keep your mom safe at home while providing you some peace of mind. Here are some top options to look into. Check-in app: If your mom uses a smartphone, a great solution to help ensure her safety is Snug (SnugSafe.com), a free app that would check in on her every day to confi rm she’s OK. This app is used by thousands of elderly seniors who live alone and want to make sure that if something happens to them, their loved ones will be notifi ed quickly so they can receive help in minutes, rather than days. Here’s how it works. After downloading the app, your mom will choose what time(s) throughout the day she’d like for Snug to check in. Snug will send a push notifi cation at those times asking your mom to check in by tapping the big green check button on her smartphone screen. If she doesn’t check in within 10 minutes or respond after multiple pings, Snug will notify her emergency contacts and share her last known location so that she can receive fast help. For extra peace of mind, your mom can purchase Snug’s premium plan ($10/month) where in addition to notifying her emergency contacts, Snug will request an in-person wellness check by a police offi cer who will visit her house to confi rm she’s OK and provide assistance as needed. The app works with iPhone and Android smartphones. Check-in calls: If your mom doesn’t use a smartphone, another option to help ensure her safety is a daily check-in call service program. These are telephone reassurance programs usually run by police or sheriff’s departments in hundreds of counties across the country and are usually provided free of charge. Here’s how they work. A computer automated phone system would call your mom at a designated time each day to check in. If she answers, the system will assume everything is OK. But if she didn’t pick up or if the call goes to voice mail after repeated tries, you (or whoever her designee is) would get a notifi cation call. If you are not reachable, calls are then made to backup people who’ve also agreed to check on your mom if necessary. The fallback is if no one can be reached, the police or other emergency services personnel will be dispatched to her home. To find out if this service is available in your mom’s community, call her local police department’s nonemergency number. You should also check with the Area Agency on Aging in your mom’s area – call 800-677-1116 for contact information. If, however, her community doesn’t have a call check-in program, there are businesses like CARE (Call-Reassurance.com) and IAmFine (Iamfi ne.com) that off er similar services for under $15 per month. Technology devices: You may also want to invest in some simple technology aids to keep your mom safe. One of the most commonly used devices for this is a medical alert system that cost about $1 per day. These systems come with a wearable “help button” that would allow her to call for help 24/7. Another option that’s becoming increasingly popular is smart speakers, like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. These devices work with third-party applications – AskMyBuddy.net and MySOSFamily.com – that would let your mom to call multiple emergency contacts with a simple verbal command. And be sure to check out Amazon’s Alexa Together (Amazon. com/AlexaTogether), a new $20 monthly subscription service that helps families support and keep tabs on their older loved ones who live alone through an Alexa-enabled device.

Scamernor, and former State Representatives Leah Allen and Kate Campanale are on the ballot for lieutenant governor. Revere voters can look up their precincts and voting locations on the homepage of the city’s website at revere.org. The city’s polling locations were a topic of discussion at last week’s City Council meeting, as Fahey sought the council’s approval for the election warrant and police coverage at the polling locations. Under the new state VOTES Act, the council needs to give its approval for the number of police offi cers at polling locations. The council unanimously approved having one offi cer at each polling location, as requested by Police Chief David Callahan. Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo raised some questions about the polling locations, noting that there have been a number of changes in the past several years, especially in Ward 3, where all voters now vote at the high school. “We should have certain voting locations that mers or predators could use this information to commit identity theft or earn your child’s trust. • Leave off information about kids’ schools. Even sharing the name of your child’s school, teacher or grade level could SCHOOL | SEE Page 16 people can go vote at and depend on,” said Rizzo. “It’s like a moving target.” Fahey said the Election Commission is trying to keep polling locations as stable as possible and will be analyzing data after the general election to help determine how turnout is at the current locations. Fahey also noted that in the past Ward 3 had a polling location at St. Anthony’s Church but with “reprecincting” St. Anthony’s is no longer in Ward 3. Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna noted that all voting in her ward is at the Beachmont School but some residents live relatively far from the school. She also said she would like to see better signage at the school on election day. Fahey said the election commission will provide better signage. He also noted that the current eff ort is to keep polling locations consistent, but if the data comes in and there is a compelling case to change polling locations, especially in Ward 1, it will be considered. T he longest-standing head coach in the GBL, entering his 21st season, is Revere High’s Lou Cicatelli. He and the Revere Patriots will embark on the 2022 campaign with two consecutive nonleague games: Opening the season will be two straight road games, at Peabody on Friday, September 9 at 7:00 p.m. and then hosting Plymouth North on September 16 at 6:00 p.m. Revere opens its GBL schedule on Thursday, September 22 versus Medford at 6:00 p.m.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local senators voted with their party’s leadership in the 2022 session. Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 102 votes from the 2022 Senate session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not on local issues. The votes of the 34 Democrats were compared to Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem (DNewton), second-in-command in the Senate. We could not compare the Democrats’ votes to those of Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) because, by tradition, the Senate president rarely votes. None of the senators voted with Creem 100 percent of the time in 2022. Last year, in 2021, 11 senators voted with Creem 100 percent of the time. The senator who voted with WASTE REMOVAL & BUILDING MAINTENANCE • Landscaping, Lawn Care, Mulching • Yard Waste & Rubbish Removal • Interior & Exterior Demolition (Old Decks, Fences, Pools, Sheds, etc.) • Appliance and Metal Pick-up • Construction and Estate Cleanouts • Pick-up Truck Load of Trash starting at $169 • Carpentry LICENSED & INSURED Call for FREE ESTIMATES!

Rounding out the top four who voted with Creem the least percentage of times are Sens. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who voted with her 80 times (78.4 percent); and Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) and John Velis (D-Westfi eld) who both voted with her 85 times (83.3 percent). Overall, 29 of the 34 Democrats (82.8 percent) voted with Creem 90 percent or more of the time. The votes of the two Republican senators were compared with those of GOP Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). None of the two voted with Tarr 100 percent of the time. The Republican senator who voted the lowest percentage of times with Tarr was Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who voted with Tarr 92 times (92 percent). Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) voted with Tarr 97 times (95.0 percent). SENATORS’ SUPPORT OF THEIR PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2022 The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the senator supported his or her party’s leadership in 2022. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the senator opposed his or her party’s leadership. Some senators voted on all 102 roll call votes. Others missed one or more roll calls. The percentage for each senator is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted. Sen. Lydia Edwards 97.0 percent (3) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL A CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY TO REPEAL THE NEW LAW ALLOWING DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (H 4805) – It looks like the new law that would allow, starting July 1, 2023, undocumented/illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts standard driver’s license is going to be on the November ballot for voters to decide whether to repeal it or leave it intact. The law would require an applicant for a driver’s license “without legal presence” in the United States to provide the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) with a foreign passport and at least one of fi ve other documents: a driver’s license from another state, a foreign driver’s license, a birth certifi cate, a foreign national identifi cation card or a marriage certificate or divorce decree from any U.S. state. The bill became law when the House and Senate on June 9 overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of the bill. Leaders of the repeal campaign, dubbed “Fair and Secure Massachusetts,” say they collected and fi led more than 100,000 signatures with local city and town clerks by the August 14 deadline. Only 40,120 signatures are needed for the ballot question to appear on the November ballot. The next and fi nal step to appear on the ballot is to fi le the certifi ed signatures with the secretary of state’s offi ce by September 7. Maureen Maloney, whose son Matthew Denice was killed by a drunk driver who did not have legal status in the United States, is the chair of the campaign. She that said that Massachusetts roads “will be much more unsafe” if the law takes eff ect. “Voters lined up to sign our petition, they voiced to us their reasons for opposing the law,” Maloney said Maloney also noted that she witnessed fi rsthand harassment by supporters of the law to prevent volunteers from collecting signatures. “They intimidated voters, and often they caused enough of a disruption to prompt police to shut down our signature drives,” Maloney said. “These actions show how desperate Democrats are to keep voters from having their voices heard, and it was only through the dedication and eff orts by all our volunteers that we will get this on the ballot in November.” “The [law] keeps people safer by ensuring that all drivers, regardless of immigration status, know and follow the rules of the road, take the same driver’s test and have insurance when they need it,” said Elizabeth Sweet, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) which supports the law. “If this issue makes it to the fall ballot, our united coalition—which includes polic t mot mon sense the books 1.

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 August 2226, the House met for a total of 20 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 40 minutes. Mon. Aug. 22 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:09 a.m. Senate 11:03 a.m. to 11:32 a.m. Tues.
