(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) City councillors voice opposition to proposed high school Wonderland site By Adam Swift T hree potential sites are still on the table for a new Revere High School, but several city councillors have stated that one of those, the former Wonderland Park property, will be a no-go for them. Last week, the City Council discussed the activity of the School Building Committee, with Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo stating he would like to see more information about the process communicated to the public and the council. “To be quite honest, the general public has very little information regarding the construction of the high school, where it’s going to be located and what it is going to cost,” said Rotondo. As was discussed at an online forum about the project the previous week, Rotondo said there are three potential sites under consideration: the Wonderland property, the current high school site and the Revere Housing Authority’s Coolidge Street development. As the conversation turned to potential sites, City Council President Anthony Zambuto said he wanted to make one thing clear. “I will oppose taking any piece of property off the tax rolls to build a school, so that excludes Wonderland,” said Zambuto. “That means I will fi ght to the death not to take Wonderland off the tax roll.” Zambuto said he believes either of the other sites in the mix for the new high school would work. Currently, the School Building Committee is looking at three to fi ve potential options for each of the sites still in play. Ward 5 Councillor John Powers said he is also against the Wonderland site, noting that in addition to taking the property off the tax roll, there are also traffi c and location issues with the site. “My opinion is that a high school should be centrally located in the city,” said Powers. Addressing Rotondo’s concerns about the council being left out of the process, Councillor-at-Large Gerry Visconti said he and Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe are both active members of the School Building Committee. “I assure you that the City SCHOOL | SEE Page 19 Early voting is available to all registered voters for the Preliminary Election on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021.

La Junta de Comisionados de Elecciones he City Council is taking another crack at addressing the issues at McMackin Field, which has fallen from a jewel of a Little League fi eld to an overgrown health hazard over the past decade. Last week, Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna made a motion that the mayor move ahead with the taking of the fi eld by eminent domain. The fi eld is not owned by the City of Revere, but by the Revere Little League Board of Directors, a source of frustration to several city councillors. “I have a team of scientists from Tufts and Boston University that are conducting a study on air quality from the pollution of planes fl ying overhead in Beachmont,” said McKenna. “In addition to this, I spoke to one of the scientists and forwarded them pictures of the baseJOANNE McKENNA Ward 1 Councillor ball fi eld.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 Page 3 McKenna pushes for widening of Bellingham Avenue By Adam Swift I n order to comply with ADA laws, the city prohibited sidewalk parking on Bellingham Avenue, one of the narrower streets in Revere. Since then, emergency vehicles had a diffi - cult time getting down the avenue during a massive fi re on Endicott and Bellingham Avenues in May, and residents’ cars are routinely sideswiped when parked on the narrow street. Now, Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna wants the public works department to shorten the sidewalks on one side of Bellingham Avenue so that the road can be widened. “Bellingham Avenue is probably one of the narrowest streets in Revere, with two-sided parking curb to curb because of the new ADA law,” said McKenna. “Before, they were parking on the sidewalk, and now they can’t park on the sidewalk because they get tickets.” McKenna said she measured the sidewalks, and the one on the right-hand side of the avenue is eight feet wide. She noted that only 32 to 36 inches is needed for wheelchair access. “I’m just asking the city to shortFlorence & Chafetz expands assisted living memory care with 12 new apartments Assisted living now taking reservations for renovated homes visioning what life should be like for those living with disabling conditions.

During the May fi re, the councillor said, residents on Bellingham Avenue had to move their parked cars so fi re trucks could get down the street. In addition, she said residents’ cars are being hit daily, with many cars losing their side mirrors. Councillor-at-Large Jessica Ann Giannino said she supports her colleague’s motion. “It’s so important we respect both issues with this,” she said. “We need to make sure we are ADA compliant and we are making things accessible for our handicap community, but at no cost should that become a fi re hazard.” In addition to Bellingham Avenue, Giannino said, the city needs to take a look at other areas where there might be similar issues. “I do feel that, especially in Beachmont, there is some level of disproportion in terms of the sidewalks,” said Giannino. “You have some neighborhoods where there are no sidewalks and no curbage, and then you have some neighborhoods where you have these ginormous sidewalks that are several feet wide and don’t really have a purpose.” Lawrence A.

It was a new learning experience for all of us, but we were ready and willing to do what needed to be done. My day typically starts around 5:30/6 a.m. Each day I gather information on all the new daily cases so that a daily report can be sent work to be done but we have come a long way since the beginning.

Recently, I joined several of my friends and neighbors in opposing yet another massive residential building project here in Revere. This time, we attended a Conservation Commission meeting to voice our opposition to a 291-unit building being proposed in the Riverside area. Our community is being inundated by construction projects just like this one. With each passing special permit approval, we are seeing our streets further clogged with traffic and our quality of life diminished. Lifelong Revere residents are finding it harder and harder to stay here because of the skyrocketing rental rates due to these buildings. I have to ask, “What are we doing here and why are we allowing this?” AMANDA SCHEPICI-PORTILLO values I will ensure are celebrated and incorporated in the revamp of the Chamber,” stated Portillo. Amanda graduated from Revere High School in 2004, holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Work (minor in Spanish) from Salem State University and a master’s in Organizational Leadership from Southern New Hampshire University. She is bilingual in both English (native) and Spanish. Amanda is happily married to Gabriel Portillo, who is originally from Armenia, Sonsonate, El Salvador. We have always been a close-knit community and our elected officials and their appointees are allowing out-of-town developers to dictate the terms of their entry into this city. We are getting little to no community benefits from these projects and are suffering more and more with each passing day. Even worse is the impact they are having on pushing people out of our city. I am running for the Ward 5 City Council seat because I have had enough. I know many of the residents of our great city have as well. We need to put an end to these special permits and developers who don’t care about our community. We must develop a comprehensive plan for our community that puts Revere residents first.

Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 Mystic Watershed communities secure $3.6M in climate resilience funding F ollowing the release of $20 million in state fiscal year 2022 Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) grants, the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) announced that Resilient Mystic Collaborative (RMC) cities and towns had secured a total of $2.6 million in state funding to help prepare for extreme weather. Of these funds, $1.1 million were grants for multi-community projects and $1.5 million went to individual municipalities. In addition, the Barr Foundation awarded the RMC a two-year, $950,000 renewal grant, bringing the total in new climate resilience funding to over $3.6 million. Such regional partnerships are critical to addressing the increasing risks communities face. “The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report painted a daunting picture of the hotter, stormier Massachusetts we are becoming,” said MyRWA Deputy Director Julie Wormser. “These new resources, added to our work together over the past three years will help Mystic Watershed communities protect their people and places from increasingly extreme weather events.” Convened by MyRWA in September 2018 and led by senior staff from 20 cities and towns and nongovernmental partners, RMC focuses on: • Managing stormwater fl ooding on a regional scale • Preparing critical energy, transportation, food and wastewater infrastructure for coastal storms • Increasing the resilience of vulnerable residents and workers to extreme weather events • Working with state agencies Long weekends... The best kind of weekends. Happy Labor Day from your friends at Everett Bank! We’ll be closed Monday September 6th in observance of the holiday. As always, you can access your accounts using our ATMs and Online & Mobile Banking. to lower the bar for Massachusetts communities to prepare for climate challenges RMC includes 20 of 21 communities (Arlington, Belmont, Boston, Burlington, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Lexington, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Somerville, Stoneham, Reading, Revere, Wakefi eld, Watertown, Winchester, Winthrop and Woburn) representing 98 percent of the Mystic River Watershed. It includes nonprofi t and private sector partners as content experts, with senior municipal staff serving as the group’s voting members. All Mystic Watershed municipalities are welcome to participate. “Malden’s $354,600 FY2022 MVP Grant will continue to allow us to move forward with the design work on Malden River Works which is our community’s eff ort to incorporate a climate resilient park at the city’s Department of Public Works yard,” said Malden Mayor Gary Christenson. “This is a crucial precedent-setting project for Malden as it establishes new models of community engagement, implements green infrastructure, and promotes the Malden River Greenway.” “Winter 2018’s record nor’east WWW.EVERETTBANK .COM Member FDIC | Member DIF ers repeatedly fl ooded the New England Produce Center with corrosive salt water,” said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “This $716,500 MVP grant couldn’t have come at a better time. It will allow Everett and Chelsea to complete the engineering, design, community engagement, and permitting needed to prevent coastal fl ooding in this part of Everett for decades to come.” The City of Revere received $165,516 in MVP funding to support a living shoreline solution in Gibson Park that includes marsh restoration and a waterfront walkway. On June 30, the Barr Foundation awarded MyRWA $950,000 over two years to provide professional staffi ng and direct expenses for RMC, as well as to perform a program evaluation for its fi rst three years. RMC staff include MyRWA Deputy Director Julie Wormser, MyRWA Climate Resiliency Manager Melanie Gбrate, MyRWA Environmental Resiliency Manager Catherine Pedemonti and collaboration expert/CH Consulting Principal Carri Hulet. “The communities involved in the Resilient Mystic Collaborative have made tremendous progress over their fi rst three years together,” said Barr Foundation Climate Resilience Program Officer Kalila Barnett. “Their watershed approach and focus on social resilience and regional projects need to be replicated across the Commonwealth. We are glad to be able to provide the resources to help communities work together to protect people and places from harm.” RMC was recognized in June by the Environmental Business Council of New England with its Award for Leadership by a Non-Profi t Organization. “EBC was pleased to present this award in recognition of the incredible partnership of the 20 communities in the Mystic River Watershed working together to protect their people and places from climate intensifi ed risks,” said incoming EBC Executive Director/President Ann Gisinger. “The Collaborative has supported incredible projects and made steps to close the climate equity gaps among residents in the Mystic River Watershed.” “It can feel like there is not much to celebrate in the world of climate change, but the incredible partnership among the municipalities in the Resilient Mystic Collaborative is a true ray of hope,” said Hulet. “The residents and workers in these 21 communities can take real comfort in knowing that their leaders are working together to build resilience to these changes.” 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
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 Page 11 Poor Sportsmanship, Pandemic contributing to shortage of High School Sports Officials Behavior of parents cited as among the worst of all adult spectators at High School games By Dr. Karissa Niehoff Executive Director National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) A s high schools begin a third school year of sports and other activities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a familiar issue continues to challenge administrators nationwide: fi nding enough individuals to offi ciate all scheduled contests. tivities Association, including the past 17 years as commissioner of offi cials. Although there was a hope that the post-pandemic behavior of parents and other fans would be improved, Pappas said the jury is defi nitely still out as sportsmanship issues have continued to exist. “From some of the early reports, there are still many acts of bad sportsmanship occurring,” Pappas said. “There are with coaches and parents are important, but I think having officials go and address parents and talk to them about rules changes is important. It would be great for offi cials to go and talk to parents and kids so that they understand that they are not just the bad guys in the striped shirts, that they are someone who wants to be a part of the educational process, who’s giving back and there really to help and educate. “There needs to be shift in those expectations and remind parents of what it was like when their kids didn’t have an opportunity to play. Everyone agrees that was not good for anyone last year. And if you continue to abuse offi cials, we are going to be exactly where we were because there won’t be any way to adjudicate these games.” The NFHS has been actively Poor behavior by players’ parents have plagued high school sports for many years and is now being blamed for contributing to a nationwide shortage of game offi cials in nearly every sport. (Courtesy Photo) In some states, Friday Night Lights have become Thursday or Saturday Night Lights as teams consider playing on alternate dates to accommodate the lack of individuals to offi ciate games. The shortage of officials in high school – and middle school – sports has been a growing concern for several years – in large part due to unsportsmanlike behavior by parents and other adult fans. Now, additional sports offi cials are electing to stay on the sidelines because of health concerns related to COVID-19, or they are uncomfortable wearing a mask during games. The challenge for schools and state associations remains two-fold: how to recruit more individuals to become offi cials and how to retain those people currently serving as offi cials. Short of unexpected events like the coronavirus, if a new offi - cial remains active after the fi rst three to fi ve years, the outlook for a long-term career is pretty good. Hoping to make an impact nationally on the officiating shortage and the sportsmanship issues at hand is Dana Pappas, who joined the NFHS staff last month as the new Director of Offi ciating Services. Pappas joins the NFHS staff after 24 years with the New Mexico Acstill people who are going after sports offi cials after games, during games, and it continues to be an adult problem. I don’t think too many of the issues we see are really the kids. It’s generally the spectators, although it can be coaches at times when their behavior incites the crowd. “I think the sportsmanship issue is something that continues to keep individuals from offi ciating, or we lose them because of poor sportsmanship.” Pappas noted that in addition to losing officials due to the COVID-19 concerns and poor sportsmanship, others may have changed jobs during the pandemic, and with some games being moved earlier in the day, they are unable to get free from their jobs to handle offi ciating assignments. While the loss of offi cials because of the pandemic is understandable and uncontrollable, losing individuals from the offi - ciating ranks due to the boorish and over-the-top nasty behavior of parents and other adults is unacceptable. Pappas said many states back the statement: “If you act in an inappropriate manner, you will have to pay.” While these programs are necessary, she also believes proactive plans should be in place as well. “Doing preseason meetings recruiting offi cials for four years through its #BecomeAnOffi cial campaign. More than 50,000 individuals have expressed an interest in offi ciating through this national effort at www.highschooloffi cials.com Most recently, the NFHS has been targeting high school coaches to consider offi ciating another sport in their off -season after previous campaigns directed to other groups. Assisting state associations and schools in recruiting more offi cials is also on Pappas’ To-Do list. “Kids coming out of high school think they have two options – to play sports or to coach sports. They forget about the people who are offi ciating their games! So, how do we make offi ciating something that is at the forefront of their minds? When they are leaving high school or leaving college, they need to understand that there is an entire career path they could follow in the world of high school offi ciating.” As fall high school sports swing into full action this month, let’s respect the men and women who are giving of their free time so that once-in-a-lifetime opportunities of high school activities can continue for our nation’s youth.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 Page 13 Saluting Revere’s Working Men and Women Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe, Jr. & Family Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna Candidate for Ward 3 Councillor Albert Terminiello, Jr. By Adam Swift T he conversion of an offi ce building at 333 Lee Burbank Hwy. to a 12-unit apartment complex has been given the okay by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). The project will now have to go before the City Council for a special permit designating the site as a Planned Unit Development allowing for the conversion to residential units. Attorney Larry Simeone, representing the owners of the building, the Sica family doing business as 333 Lee Burbank Highway, LLC, said the family made a sincere effort at making the current 14,280-square-foot office building a success. Andrew Sica echoed those sentiments. “My family has been in the city for many years, and we operate a business beside this project,” he said. “We did put up the offi ce building with good intentions and thought the space would work very well and be successful for our family.” Due to of the pandemic and current real estate trends, however, Sica said, the property hasn’t been as successful as hoped. “We’d like to revive this building in the hopes that maybe this conversion will be the way to go,” said Sica. Simeone said there will be no major changes to the building itself. “We are making no alterations or changes to the building at this time,” he said. “The structure will remain the same. We are proposing 24 parking spaces for the 12 apartment units, and Have a Happy and Safe Labor Day Weekend! Council Vice-President Gerry Visconti & Family School Board Member Susan Gravellese Candidate for Ward 5 Councillor Al Fiore ZBA grants variances for Burbank Highway office building conversion we’ll be adding two more spaces for extra visitor parking, so altogether we are looking at 26 spaces.” Eight of those spaces will be on a lot adjacent to the building, one of the reasons the project needed a ZBA variance. Simeone said the parking issue is not too diff erent from the current one at the office building, since there are already six parking spaces it uses on the adjacent lot. The proposal also needed variances for frontage and total lot area. “I’m in favor of the ZBA voting to put this forward before the City Council, and we can help mediate the problems that are at the site,” said Councillor-At-Large George Rotondo. “I believe they will be able to meet the parking requirements and I fully support this.” ZBA Chair Michael Tucker said City Council President Anthony Zambuto and Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna also support the project. “I’m just grateful that they are adding the two additional parking spaces,” said Tucker.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local representatives voted with their party’s leadership in the 2021 session through August 27. The votes of the 2021 membership of 29 Republicans were compared with those of GOP House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading). The votes of the 2021 membership of 128 Democrats were compared to House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 66 votes from the 2021 House session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not quorum calls or votes on local issues. THE DEMOCRATS: A total of 101 (78.9 percent) of the 128 Democrats voted with Mariano 100 percent of the time. That means that nearly four-fifths of the Democrats always voted with Mariano. Another 13 Democrats (10.1 percent) voted against Mariano only once. Only fi ve Democrats (3.9 percent) voted with Mariano less than 90 percent of the time. The Democratic representative who voted the lowest percentage of times with Mariano is Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven (D-Somerville) who voted with Mariano only 78.4 percent of the time. She is followed by Reps. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge) 80.3 percent; Rep. Colleen Garry (DDracut) 83.3 percent; Tami Gouveia (D-Acton) 86.3 percent; and Nika Elugardo (D-Jamaica Plain) 89.3 percent. THE REPUBLICANS: None of the 29 GOP members voted with Jones 100 percent of the time. Sixteen Republicans (55.2 percent) voted with Jones at least 90 percent of the time. Thirteen Republicans (44.8 percent) voted with Jones less than 90 percent of the time. The Republican representative who voted the lowest percentage of times with Jones was Rep. Joseph McKenna (R-Webster) who voted with Jones only 81.8 percent of the time. He is followed by Reps. Alyson Sullivan (R-Abington) 83.0 percent; Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) 83.3 percent; Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) 84.8 percent; and David DeCoste (R-Norwell) 86.1 percent. REPRESENTATIVES’ SUPPORT OF THEIR PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2021 The percentage next to the representative’s name represents the percentage of times the representative supported his or her party’s leadership in 2021 through August 27. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the representative opposed his or her party’s leadership. Some representatives voted on all 66 roll call votes. Others missed one or more roll calls. The percentage for each representative is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted and does not count the roll calls for which he or she was absent. Rep. Jessica Giannino 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 BEACON | SEE Page 22 Dear Moving, Moving can indeed affect SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS R etirees have to decide when to collect their social security benefi ts. Widows or widowers can collect his or her benefits under their deceased spouse’s work history at age 60. Otherwise, you can collect benefi ts at age 62, at full retirement age which is age 66 if you were born in 1943-1954, age 66 and a certain number of months (based upon your year of birth between 1955 and 1959) or age 67 for those born in 1960, or at age 70. In 1983, Congress reduced Social Security Benefits by raising the retirement age and gradually increasing the monthly benefit available to you if you wait until age 70 to begin collecting. For individuals born after 1960, the Social Security Administration increases monthly benefi ts approximately by 7% per year between the ages of 62 and 70 if you wait to collect at age 70. Therefore, by waiting until age 70 to collect, your actual monthly benefi t will have been increased by approximately 76%. Furthermore, those highter monthly benefi ts are also indexed to infl ation. As an example, if someone were able to collect $1,125 per month at age 62, waiting until age 70 would result in a monthly benefi t of $1,980, for a $855/ month increase. One option is to withdraw from an existing retirement account such as a Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, 403 (b) or 401(k) plan for the years from age 62 to age 70. Then, you can begin collecting your social security at age 70. If you were to die with a surviving spouse, your surviving spouse would be able to collect your Medicare benefits depending on the type of coverage you have and where you move to. If you and your husband are enrolled in “original Medicare” Part A and Part B, you’ll be happy to know that you won’t need to change your plans when you move because they’re the same throughout the U.S. You will, however, need to notify the Social Security Administration of your change of address, which you can do at SSA.gov/ myaccount/change-of-address. html or by calling 800-772-1213. But, if you’re enrolled in a your monthly benefi t with cost of living increases each year based upon the higher age 70 benefi t. Your spouse would have to be married to you for at least 10 years. This would also help your minor children who would be able to collect based upon the higher age 70 monthly benefi t that you were receiving prior to your death. Another option is to continue working part time until age 70 in order to generate enough cash fl ow to meet your monthly living expenses. Of course, if these options are not feasible, you can certainly begin collecting at full retirement age, or even age 62 if your situation warrants it. If you have not done so already, go onto the Social Security Administration website at www.ssa.gov and establish a user id and password. You will have the ability to double check that all of your earnings have been posted to your account and you will be able to see what your monthly benefi t would be based upon the year you wish to begin collecting. Also keep in mind that up to 85% of your social security benefi t can be taxable depending upon your other taxable income. Joseph D.

Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan, or a Medicare (Part C) Advantage plan and you move out of your plan’s service area, you’ll need to choose a new plan that serves your new area. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need to do depending on the type of coverage you have. If you have a Part D plan: If you’re in rolled in original Medicare and have a stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, you’ll need to contact your Part D plan to fi nd out if it will work in the area you’re moving to. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to enroll in a new plan that provides coverage in your new location. You can make this switch the month before you move and up to two months after the move. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait until the next open enrollment (in the fall) and could be penalized for having no acceptable prescription drug coverage. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan: If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, again, contact your plan to fi nd out if it will serve your new area. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to enroll in a new plan that does. To shop for new Advantage and/or Part D prescription drug plans in your new location, see Medicare.gov/plan-compare. How to Handle Your Medicare Coverage if You Move Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are moving to a diff erent area of the country to be near our daughter. Will this aff ect our Medicare benefi ts? Will we need to adjust our coverage or re-enroll in a new plan? Moving Away You can switch Advantage plans the month before you move and up to two months after you move. But be aware that if you relocate out of your Medicare Advantage plan’s service area and fail to enroll in a new plan in your new area, you’ll automatically be switched to original Medicare. This will happen when your old Medicare Advantage plan is forced to disenroll you because you don’t live within its service area anymore. If you have a Medigap policy: If you’re enrolled in original Medicare and have a supplemental (Medigap) policy, you’ll need to notify your provider that you’re moving, but you should not need to change insurance companies or plans. (Note: there also are Medicare Select plans, which are Medigap plans that are network-based and are available in a few states. These plans may require you to change.) Medigap plans are standardized across the country; for example, Medigap Plan F offers the same coverage in one state as it does in another state (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have waivers from the federal government allowing them to standardize Medigap plans diff erently, so plan designs are diff erent in those three states). But be aware that Medigap costs vary by location, so your monthly Medigap policy premium may be higher or lower depending on the cost of medical care in your new area. Call your provider and tell them the new ZIP code, and they’ll let you know the cost. Sometimes you’ll be pleasantly surprised that it’s lower. If it’s not, you could look for a cheaper policy. However, you may have to undergo medical underwriting. Medigap policies come with their own rules for enrolling, and some states have diff erent enrollment standards than others.

Steve was a retired real estate broker, but many people may remember him most as an event DJ and videographer through his longtime business, Sound ‘A’ Round. In his teenage years, Steve was a member of the popular local doo-wop group, The Majestics, which had the charttopping single, The Lone Stranger, in 1959. While Steve enjoyed sharing his love of music with others through his band and DJ business, his true passion was family. At the age of 13, he met the love of his life, Lucille Catallo (Pesce) of Everett. In 1962, they married and had two daughters, Lisa (Murray) and Stephanie (Wirtanen). Steve was the epitome of a “family man,” and his daughters were his pride and joy. Later, as a grandfather, he doted on his four grandchildren: twins Robert and Stephen (Murray), and Richard and Kaitlyn (Wirtanen). Steve loved spending time with his grandchildren and took great care in capturing their most precious moments – from playtime to holidays to milestone events – through video recordings. The family will cherish these recordings and will look back on them with love.

BEACON | FROM Page 18 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.

She attended Revere Schools & was an alumna of Revere High School, Class of 1961. While a student at Revere High School, she worked parttime in her Mom & Dad’s Restaurant, “The Prospect Grill” in Revere. Mr. & Mrs. Fay (Edward C. & Mabel E. (Bunnell) Fay operated the restaurant for nearly 20 years. Virginia was a “Dynamic Personality”, waiting on tables, cleaning & yes, sometimes asked to horn her cooking skills. The restaurant was a landmark within Revere. Virginia moved on & sought waitress positions locally at the “Barn Deli” Restaurant. Then after falling in love with Carl E. LeClair, Sr. & the advent of a large family of 6, she became a stay at home “Mom” until the youngest was of age. Then she returned to the work force, part-time & multi skilled. Both, Virginia & Carl had a proud & stalwart association with their church, St. Anthony of Padua Church of Revere, for many, many years. She was a devotee of the game of “Bingo” & suddenly found herself “in charge” & also a “senior caller” for over 200 anxious senior players. Only Virginia could handle such a feat. Liturgically, she was appointed lector & was dedicated to that position at St. Anthony’s. Virginia also worked for over 20 years at the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, helping with maintaining the interior of the funeral home, which she took great pride in. Besides her beloved husband of 59 years, Carl E. LeClair, Sr., she is the devoted mother of Carl E. LeClair, Jr. & his fi ancé, Denise A. Killoren of Stoneham, Rosanne E. Frongillo & her husband, Vincent of Saugus, Marie V. Fronduto of Lynn & Michael A. Fronduto of New Hampshire, April J. DeLuca & her partner, Christine MacInnally of Lynn, Derek A. LeClair of Revere & the late Cheryl A. Ferragamo. Thirteen proud & faithful grandchildren also survive Virginia as well as 5 great grandchildren and one on the way. She is the dear sister of Diane Crowley & her late husband, Michael of Marshfield, Donald Chapman & his wife, Myrna of Summerside, P. E. I., Canada & the late Grace E. Cutillo & her late husband, Frank R., the late Edward C. “Eddie” Fay, Jr. & his surviving wife, Dolores Fay of Allenstown, N.H. & the late Joseph E. Fay & his late wife Lillian. Virginia is also lovingly survived by her closest friends, Dottie “Missy” Bernstein & her husband, Stephen of Saugus & Lorraine Todisco & Joann Giannino, both of Revere. Many caring nieces, nephews, grandnieces & grandnephews also survive Virginia as well as an uncountable number of extended family & friends. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Rose Ferron Foundation of Rhode Island, 339 Arnold St., Woonsocket, RI 02895. The Rose Ferron Foundation of R.I., is very special to the LeClair Family, as they have spent many years of fundraising & prayer times for this most worthy cause.
