John Correggio is a longtime friend of BAC Local 3. He firmly believes and shares in our union values and backs them up with actions. Throughout his adult life, he has relentlessly supported workers in their quest to provide a better quality of life for themselves and their families. He is a staunch advocate of the prevailing wage law and union only project labor agreements on construction projects. Over the years his eforts have produced numerous hours of work for Local 3 members, something which has been lacking under the present Mayor and City Council. John Correggio has always supported us and now is the time for us to support him. We strongly urge you, your family and friends to vote for John Correggio for the Revere City Council – At Large, on primary election day, Tuesday, September 10th. Thank you for your consideration. Fraternally yours, Charles Raso President Driver gets stuck on beach trying to retrieve boat By Tara Vocino A Jeep attempting to pull a boat out of the water reportedly ended up on Revere Beach Tuesday night. According to Massachusetts State Trooper James DeAngelis, no charges were filed and a tow truck removed the 2012 Jeep from the beach near 540 Revere Beach Blvd. at approximately 8:15 p.m. The driver, whose name wasn’t released, was issued a verbal warning. Mechanical failure was likely to blame, according to DeAngelis. The Jeep was on the sand, but its proximity to the water was unclear. “It’s not permitted to remove boats on and off the beach using cars,” DeAngelis said. “But we decided that enforcement wasn’t the best course of action.” State Police were on the scene for a little more than a half hour and the boulevard was temporarily closed.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Page 5 Ricky Serino seeks Ward 6 Council Seat Dear Residents of Ward 6, As a candidate seeking to be your Ward Councillor, I pen this letter today to humbly ask for the consideration of your vote in the City’s Preliminary Election this coming Tuesday, September 10th. I am running because I believe my community involvement from childhood to the present day, coupled with my professional experience advocating for the people of Revere in the office of our State Representative for over five years, has provided me with the necessary tools to impact a positive and meaningful difference in Ward 6. I have said my vision for our ward and our city is seen through the lens of a young professional who has grown up in Revere and who intends to raise a family here. With roots that stretch over 100 years in this community, as Ward 6’s Councillor, I feel that I would be the bridge between the Revere of the past and the Revere of the future. If elected, I am not only going to be thinking about the Revere of tomorrow or in five years – I will be a leader who will work to lay the groundwork for an even better Revere for the next generation so that my children and grandchildren will continue to call Revere home. This means I will continue to conduct myself as I always have – ready to serve and lend a helping hand to my neighbors. I will continue to focus on working hard each day to make our quality of life better and to continue to make Revere the best community it possibly can be. Those who know me know that I have always held our city in high regard. I love Revere and the people who make our community so great, which is why I kept my roots here, even during my time at Saint Anselm College. Since 2010, I have had a professional connection to the office of Revere’s State Representative. Throughout my college years, I chose to continue to intern at the State House because I wanted to gain firsthand knowledge about the policy issues that impacted Revere and the Commonwealth. It was during that time, in the heat of the Legislature’s debate on Expanded Gaming, that I realized the critical role the Wonderland and Suffolk Downs sites would play in the future of Revere. It was during the internship, too, that I learned about the state budget process and how important programs like CAPIC’s Emergency Services Program and State Police Directed Patrols on Revere Beach are to our city. In those years, I also began to understand the important role elected officials play in delivering constituent services to the people they represent. Be it something as mundane as trimming brush on state property abutting Route 1 to something as dire as helping an elderly constituent who does not have any food in their refrigerator, I learned how to help Revere residents navigate the vast web of local and state government, and lead them to organizations who are able to help vulnerable populations. Upon graduation from Saint Anselm College, I chose to enter a career in public service because I not only wanted to continue helping people, but I wanted to help the people of my city and play a small role in the future direction of Revere. Working in the office of Representative RoseLee Vincent has not only given me the opportunity to interact with many of you, but it has given me a unique, frontseat perspective to the issues facing our city. From traffic to flooding; economic development to education; public safety to the environment; to providing quality programming for our seniors, children and teens, being a legislative staffer has not only helped me grasp the issues that are important to the voters of Revere, but has also given me the skills necessary to SERINO | SEE PAGE 9 We Carry... * 100% Waterproof LVT Flooring * Ceramic, Porcelain & Stone Tile * Hardwood Prefinished and Unfinished, Do-it-Yourselfer Products!

Revere resident Tayla Simone lost her brothers – Ralph Petrillo on June 19, 2015, John Petrillo on Nov. 2, 2017 – and her mother, Maureen, on March 19, 2016, to accidental drug overdoses. “They were so much more than an addict, and the term ‘junkie/druggie’ dehumanizes them,” Simone said. “I ask you to have more compassion on those struggling and to understand the stigma of addiction.” Simone said Ralph Petrillo was a member of Teamsters Union Local 125, a professional movers group, who she said had a beautiful soul and a great sense of humor. He struggled with mental illness and addiction for 20 years. “Ralph made people 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 www.eight10barandgrille.com Kitchen Hours: Mon-Thurs: 12-10pm Fri-Sat: 12-11pm Sunday: 1pm-10pm Come in & Enjoy our Famous... $12 LUNCH Menu!

John Petrillo was a commercial truck driver and had an influence in several addicts’ lives as an active member of Narcotics Anonymous. Recovering addicts told Simone that if it wasn’t for him, they’d still be struggling – or dead. Joseph Puzzo, a chef, passed away in 2003 when he was in his late 30s. “He was clean two years and doing good,” his brother, Thomas Puzzo of Malden, said. “All it took was one time.” With a heavy heart, Mayor Brian Arrigo said so many people he knew growing up have been taken by overdoses – and he’s only 39. He went on to say that approximately 50,000 people under the age of 50 have passed away in the last year from overdoses. Revere resident Tayla Simone, who lost three family members to accidental overdoses, urged people to have compassion rather than dehumanizing those struggling with addiction. Simone said the Substance Use Disorder Initiatives (SUDI) office represents compassion, understanding, resources and love, adding that it’s a safe space. There, addicts receive help from professionals and from other addicts. With a heavy heart, Mayor Brian Arrigo said that so many people he knew growing up have been taken by overdoses and he’s only 39. “So many told me if it wasn’t for brother John, they’d be dead,” Simone said. “Now they’re together in Heaven, fighting against this War on Drugs and shining a bright light in our city.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

Contact anthony.dambrosio@aya.yale.edu with any questions ~ Political Announcement ~ Philip Russo Candidate For Councilor At Large In September 10 Primary M y name is Philip Russo; I am your candidate for Councilor at Large. I am asking for your support and vote in the upcoming Primary Election on September 10th. With your vote I will be able to move forward and take action to address issues that impact the quality of life for the citizens of Revere. I believe like most, that our City is moving towards the future in light speed and over development is moving at a rapid pace. The more we build, the more of an impact it will have on traffic congestion and overcrowding in our schools, both which have grown substantially in recent years. Our current infrastructure cannot support this. Many of our streets and sidewalks are in need of repair. Many have limited handicap accessibility and some lack crosswalks for school bus stops. There is something beautiful about the neighborhoods throughout our City; we still have a lot of families here. Some have called Revere home for generations. Some are new to our city looking to raise a family here. They are all people like me, who take pride in their homes, their neighborhoods, and their City. I believe the role and duty of a City Councilor, is to represent the citizens and set priorities in supporting our neighborhoods. Too many issues are overlooked year after year, especially in the area of public safety. Crime is up and every resident deserves to feel safe in and around our City. We need to work together to improve public safety. If we are going to keep our neighborhoods throughout the City safe for all, you need someone like Philp Russo who will focus on getting the priorities done for the people, for a better quality of life for the citizens of Revere. We are a diverse City. We all have different wants and needs around our families and properties but we have a common desire. We deserve to keep a safe place for our families! Our neighborhoods updated, from streets to lighting, to Crime and the rodent issues. I will be a true voice for the People at City Hall. It is about results! Getting the job done. With your support, I can show you my resolve. I am a son, brother, father, uncle, cousin, friend, your neighbor and to some their coach. I am 50 years of age, grew up on Park Ave. since 1983 where my Parents still reside. I now live in my home on Ridge Road where I am bringing up two beautiful children. Philip Russo The people who know me know that I am a true caretaker from my heart! I get the job done. I have and will continue to help the people in and around PHILIP RUSSO | SEE PAGE 9
Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 ELECTION DAY | from page 1 Fredrick Sannella. The challengers are certified candidates Carol Tye, Anthony D’Ambrosio, John Kingston, Arthur Terminiello, Jr., and Michael Toto, Jr. Members of the Revere community are encouraged to go out and cast their ballot in this election, which, according to Election Commissioner Diane Colella, has not always been the case in the past. “Revere people historically don’t vote in the September elections whether that’s preliminary or primary,” she said. “In 2017 the local election was cancelled, and in 2015 there was a Mayoral and Councillor-at-Large race and only 22.43 percent of voters turned out.” When asked about her projections for this election, Colella said, “I don’t think we’re going to see 22 percent. I think we are going to see either 18 or 20 percent.” It’s a mystery why voters in Revere do not turn up at the polls on Election Day, but Colella has some theories. “For every election it varies depending on the population. Each election has their own certain population in the city of Revere that will go and vote for that,” she said. “In the presidential election every single person will vote. However, in the local election only 5,000 people will vote. Some people don’t like to declare a party, whether that be Republican, Democrat or Independent, and that’s a contributing factor.” The polls open at 7 a.m. on Sept. 10 for the preliminary election and on Nov. 5 for the general election. Absentee ballots close the previous day. The Polling locations are as follows: ST.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 Page 9 PHILIP RUSSO | from page 7 the City. I have in the past years, helped the people that cannot help themselves in the grueling winter months, from shoveling after plowing for days, to using my plow to follow the ROTC high school students and move snow that they shovel to help the elderly. In 2016, I became a partner and manager of the Brenner Realty Group. We got together with different organizations to donate new shoes that were in the building along with party purses to help the girls looking to go to the Prom that could not afford it. SERINO | from page 5 work through them and to lead. The representative has taught me that elected officials should always follow their conscience, and that integrity matters. She has instilled in me that if you are elected, you must do the job right. Because of her, I know that if I have the honor of becoming Ward 6’s councillor, I will work as hard as I can to help as many people as I can. Because of her, I know how to be an effective and strong advocate for a constituency. In my five plus years as an aide to Revere’s State Representative, I am proud of the work we have done and are still doing in the office of Representative Vincent. I am proud that our office has a reputation for immediately responding to emails and phone calls from constituents – even on late nights and weekends. Because of this, I know that as Ward 6 Councillor, I will not only be available to my constituents whenever there is an issue, but I will get right on it to see that the issue gets resolved in a timely manner. The practical experience I have gained in my position as legislative aide built on the foundation and principles of my internship, and I believe as Ward Councillor, I will take what I have learned in Representative Vincent’s office, and continue to apply those principles to make life better for those of us who call Revere home. The way I live my personal life also reflects my deep commitment for our neighborhood and city. As a member of the St. Mary’s Holy Name Society, I work with a dedicated group of guys who sponsor parish events that foster community and fellowship, as well as oversee a scholarship program that helps students from the parish who are entering college. As a member of the West Revere Neighborhood Group, I am proud to have played a small role in helping to create the “Paws ‘n Play I donated from my company by utilizing the Russo’s Flooring truck, to deliver Thanksgiving turkey meals to the elderly and families that could not afford to put food on their tables during the holidays as well as throughout the year working together with the Food Bank to bring food to needy families. As a team player, I would look forward to work with the Mayor and all of the City Councilors to put forth a motion for more man hours for the Police Dept. which would add a police presence on the streets. We have a problem with the Opiate/Heroin crisis running through our City. Too many of Dog Park” on Sargent Street, as well as helping to rebuild DiSalvo Park at the Whelan School. I am also an ardent participant of the annual “Santa Walk,” which raises funds to beautify Revere. Each year, for many years now, I proudly partake in the annual spring cleanup in the city. Whether it has been painting over graffiti on the North Revere underpasses, picking up litter along the Sargent Street offramp or cleaning up along Asti Avenue and Lucia Avenue, I have always been ready to get into the weeds to make our neighborhood look better. Though our city faces some challenges that I hope to help resolve, we must not lose sight of all the good that we have here. We are a very unique community filled with special people. We are increasingly more diverse than when my Italian ancestors settled on Copeland and Hawes Streets in the early 1900s, and every wave of new residents since has added to our story. With our close proximity to Boston and America’s First Public Beach at our shores, we know our city has so much to offer the region. Collectively, as a community, we must work together – as residents and elected officials – to continue to raise Revere up and move it forward. In closing, I believe my record of service to the community and the people of Ward 6 means that I will be ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work as your councillor on day 1. And I can promise you that I’ll do my part to keep our city moving forward in a positive direction. For these reasons, I humbly ask for your vote on Tuesday, September 10th. My name will be the 2nd name on the Ward 6 Ballot. Thank you. Sincerely, Ricky Serino serino4ward6@gmail.com our friends and family have tragically passed due to this dreaded disease. We need to use the resources we have to help all families with education on how to budget their money to survive the day to day and week to week, to be able to pay the crazy rents and feed their families.

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 filed. 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 26-30, the House met for a total of one hour and 16 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 13 minutes. MON.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 Page 15 S by Jim Miller How to Find a Good Financial Planner Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some tips on finding and choosing a good financial planner? My wife and I are both in our late fifties and would like to get some professional advisement to help us better prepare for our retirement years. Seeking Advice Dear Seeking, With all the different financial planners, advisers and services available today, finding and choosing a trusted professional that can help you meet your financial goals can be confusing. Here are a few suggestions to consider. Where to Look A good place to start your search is by asking friends or relatives for recommendations. If you don’t know anyone who can give you a referral, and you’re looking for broad-based financial advice, hire a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) who are considered the “gold standard” in the industry. CFPs must act as fiduciaries, putting their client’ best interest above their own. To get the CFP credential, they must have a college degree and be educated in a wide range of personal finance subjects, pass a rigorous certification exam, have three years professional experience, meet continuing-education requirements and abide by a code of ethics. CFPs are taught to look at the big picture view of your finances, talking you through your goals, as well as advising you on the details of your financial life. You’re also probably better off hiring a CFP that’s a fee-only planner, verses one who earns a commission by selling you financial products. Fee-only planners charge only for their services – for example you might pay $150 to $350 an hour for a financial tune-up, a flat fee per project or an asset-based fee. To find a fee-only planner in your area, use the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA.org), which carefully vets all members and offers an online directory. Or see the Garrett Planning Network (GarrettPlanningNetwork.com), a network of fee-only advisers. Or the Alliance of Comprehensive Planners (ACplanners.org), a community of fee-only advisors that charge annual retainers. If your needs are more specific, some other financial professionals to consider are a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) who is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or a state securities regulator to manage investment portfolios; a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), who specialize in insurance and estate planning; and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), who can help with tax planning. Be leery of many other financial advising titles, designations and certifications that are out there like the Certified Financial Consultant (CFC) or the Wealth Management Specialist (WMS). Many of these require no more than a few courses at a seminar or online, which means they’re not worth much. To research the different certifications or designations visit FINRA.org/investors - click on “Tools & Calculators,” then on “Professional Designations.” How to Choose After you find a few candidates in your area, call them up and schedule an appointment to meet and interview them. Find out about their experience, expertise and the types of services they provide; if they’re a fiduciary; how they charge and how much; what is their investment philosophy; and how will they handle your ongoing questions or financial needs. Look for someone whose clients are in situations similar to yours and who’s available as often as you need them. It’s also wise to do a background check on your potential advisor. At LetsMakeaPlan.org, you can verify a planner’s certification as CFP (click on “Verify CFP Professional Status”). You’ll also see any information on the planner’s disciplinary history with CFP Board and on bankruptcy filings in the past 10 years. To vet a registered investment adviser, go to Investor.gov where you can search an individual’s name and click on “Detailed Report” to see information on qualifications, employment history, disciplinary actions, criminal convictions and more. To check out a broker, visit BrokerCheck.finra.org where you can search an individual or firm’s name to get details like years of experience, licensing, exams passed and regulatory actions. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 Revere Boys Expect Return to Playoffs By Greg Phipps W ith its sights set on another trip to the postseason this fall, the Revere High School boys’ soccer team got the 2019 campaign off to a positive start by downing Beverly 4-0 in the season opener on Tuesday at Revere High School Field. The Patriots are coming off a 2018 season in which they finished with 13 wins and lost a close 1-0 decision to an always tough Somerville team in the opening round of the playoffs. Revere lost three times to Somerville last year, including the postseason defeat. Before Tuesday’s contest, Patriots head coach Manny Lopes said he sees this year’s squad as one of the better units he has coached. “We have a combination of senior and younger talent and a lot of team cohesiveness,” he observed. “We have a lot of skill from top to bottom.” Revere will be members of the Greater Boston League this season after having played in the Northeastern Conference in recent years. Lopes said his team should be able to face up to whatever challenge presents itself. Revere boys’ soccer captains Arath Hernandez, Christopher LaFontaine and Michael Maldonado (Advocate Photo by Greg Phipps) “We’ll be meeting up with the teams from the GBL and we play some tough teams outside our league,” he said. “We did reasonably well last year and we have a well-balanced schedule in terms of what we’re trying to accomplish.” As for this year’s roster, the Patriots are led by captains Christopher LaFontaine (senior), junior Michael Maldonado and sophomore Arath Hernandez. Other senior players are Juan Camilo Gomez, Aymen Amri and Simone Rago. The Patriots are scheduled for back-to-back games at Harry Della Russo Stadium this weekend. They face Boston Latin on Friday and Methuen on Saturday. Both contests are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Lady Patriots hope to build on 2018 effort By Greg Phipps H Revere High School volleyball captains Lynzie Anderson, Olivia Winsor and Brianna Popp (Advocate Photo by Greg Phipps) Condominium for Sale One Bedroom with Balcony in North Everett. Well-maintained Building featuring an Elevator and Off-Street Parking. $254,900 Call owner at 617-851-4155 aving notched 12 wins to earn a playoff berth last season, the Revere High School volleyball team has its sights set on tacking on a few more victories to that total in 2019. Advancing in the tournament is also a goal for head coach Lianne O’Hara Mimmo and her squad. The Lady Patriots were defeated by Arlington in the Division I first round, but the coach thinks her unit has the potential to build on last year’s effort. “We’re hoping to win about 15 [matches] although we’re very different player-wise this season,” O’Hara Mimmo pointed out. “We’re trying to find players to fill some [vacated] roles.” One key loss from last season was the departure of setter Greis Kasofo, who will be hard to replace. Two other players will miss the season due to injury. Revere is bolstered by captains Lynzie Anderson, a junior, and Olivia Winsor and Brianna Popp. “Lynzie has tons of potential and all three have solid leadership abilities,” O’Hara Mimmo observed. “Olivia will serve as our middle hitter and Brianna will be an outside hitter.” O’Hara Mimmo said she is attempting to start a boys program at the school. Boys’ volleyball competes in the spring. However, two boys will members of this year’s team and the coach is looking for one of them to take over the setter position. Rounding out this year’s roster are Melisa Berilo, Hien Nguyen, Isabella Martinez, Tracy Gutierrez, David Del Rio, Valerie Moy, Brenda Bettero, Salome Giraldo, Alexis Iacoviello and the threesome of Gianna Mahoney, Alanna Nelson and Sydney Ciano, who will swing between junior varsity and varsity, according to O’Hara Mimmo. The Lady Patriots have moved from the Northeastern Conference to the Greater Boston League and will open on Sept. 9 at Saugus. advertising rates jmitchell@ For great advocatenews.net
THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 Page 17 Three-run rally nets first Yawkey title for Rockies O By Greg Phipps n the verge of seeing the 2019 Yawkey League championship series go to a seventh game for the third season in a row, the Revere Rockies shocked the Charlestown Townies when Alex Wong drilled a one-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift Revere to a dramatic 5-4 game-six win and a 4-2 championship series victory last Thursday night at Maplewood Park in Malden. A Zach Aresty double had already brought in a run as Revere trailed the Townies 4-2 entering the frame. It was Revere’s first-ever championship and second straight appearance in the league finals. In 2018, the Rockies were edged in seven games by the Brighton Braves, who had lost to Somerville in seven the year before. Kevin Sinatra hurled a complete-game 4-2 victory in game four last Tuesday to bring the Rockies to the brink of the title with a 3-1 series lead.

In the end, the competition was tight, as four of the six contests were decided by one run and another was a two-run decision. Revere battled its way to onerun wins in the first two contests (a doubleheader at Revere High School back on Aug. 25). In the series opener, the Rockies fell behind, 2-0, as starter Chris Sandini surrendered a first-inning home run. But Sandini (eight hits, three runs, seven strikeouts) was able to settle down enough to make it into the sixth when the Townies loaded the bases with one out.

The Townies were able to bring one tally across, but reliever Jon Shepard was able to get the last five outs and close out a 4-3 Revere triumph. Ryan Petrone had three hits and Alex Wong drove in a run with a double. Reverting to his starter role, Shepard came right back in the second game and tossed a complete-game four-hitter. His teammates produced two runs in the first inning, and that was enough in an eventual 2-1 win. Shepard fanned five and allowed a single run in the fifth. Meanwhile the offense was led by Jacob Byrne, who drove in a run with a base hit, and Kenny Polanco, who stroked two hits. Owning a 2-0 lead in the series, Revere was blanked, 1-0, in game three by Charlestown starter Billy Sullivan and reliever John Nicklas. The Rockies managed just three hits.
