Last week, the ZBA granted a continuance to the developer of the proposed 25-unit, four-story apartment building. State representatives Jessica Giannino and Donald Wong are pictured with Revere Fire Dept. Kevin O’Hara, left, and Capt. Bill Cross of the Saugus Fire Dept. (Photo courtesy of Rep. Giannino) Special to Th e Advocate O n Sept. 20, State Representatives Jessica Giannino and Donald Wong joined local and state offi cials across the commonwealth and participated in the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM)’s Fire Ops program with Revere Fire Department’s own Captain Kevin O’Hara! According to Rep. Giannino, “It was a hands-on training where my colleagues and I had a unique opportunity to learn about the profession. We learned skills like cutting apart a car using the jaws of life, extinguishing an apartment fi re, performing CPR (on a mannequin), as well as learning more about fi re gear and equipment. Growing up with family members on both the police and fi re departments in Revere, I have an acute understanding of and admiration for these selfl ess professions. Today, after training with a live fi re and using powerful tools that can save lives, I discovered a new level of appreciation and deeper gratitude for these skilled professionals who run into emergency situations when others run out. I am so grateful for the members of Saugus Firefi ghters Local 1003 & ReFIRE OPS | SEE Page 15 Football Pats Corral Mustangs, 42-15 opposed [to the project] even as it currently stands,” said Serino. At the neighborhood meeting in September, Serino said, the residents made it clear that the property at 344 Salem St. has traditionally been the home of a business, such as a mechanic’s shop or a gas station. “It has been a commercial business for the last 50 years or so, and the residents have expressed a desire to keep it, to some degree, to a business and not large-scale apartments,” said Serino. While concerns were raised about parking at past meetings, Serino said, the list of issues extends to the size of the building and to development close to a creek that runs behind the property. RICHARD SERINO Ward 6 Councillor Nancy O’Neil, the developer’s attorney, said that following a neighborhood meeting earlier in September there will be revised plans to address concerns raised by some abutters. “Our project architect and engineer are currently in the process of revising the project plans,” O’Neil said. Still, even a potential scaled down project could be too much for residents on nearby Clifton Street and Ward 6 City Councillor Richard Serino. Serino said he could not attend the initial ZBA public hearing on the proposal in August and was under the impression that many of the neighbors supported a plan to reduce the size of the apartment building from 30 to 25 units. “Clearly, that was not the case, so had I been here, I would have corrected that record, and as such, I am “When I ran for offi ce, I promised myself I would stand by my residents, and as such, I am in opposition,” said Serino. The councillor asked the ZBA not to grant the continuance and to ask that the applicant withdraw the project without prejudice until they could come back with a plan that was more palatable and acceptable to the neighbors. Clifton Street resident John Oakes noted that the neighborhood is made up of primarily single-family homes, and he also said he is concerned about building near wetlands. “The wetlands – the creek that runs behind the garage that is there now is part of the Pines River that runs down to Rumney Marsh and Diamond Creek Marsh,” said Oakes. O’Neil noted that the plans presented at the community meeting were for 25 units, but that those plans would be revised when the developer comes before the ZBA again on Oct. 26.

When Dylan looked at you, his gaze penetrated directly into your soul. Any posturing of the ego or cultural assumptions of human superiority evaporated into the profound comfort of sharing the essence of one’s existence with another sympathetic being. In one photo, Larry, sitting in a wheelchair, cries and calls Dylan the names of every dog he used to have. Dylan returns his gaze, and the caption reads, “Yes, I’m right here, we all are.” We could learn much from Dylan. “You and the Sunshine, Dylan” is life-affi rming, funny, touching, makes one cry, surprising, informative and healing.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 3 Board of Health to move forward with biosafety regulations By Adam Swift N ow that the City Council has approved an ordinance calling for tighter regulations on medical research and life sciences buildings in Revere, it is up to the Board of Health to approve new biosafety regulations for the city. At last week’s board meeting, Public Health Director Lauren Buck made an introductory presentation on what biosafety regulations for the city could look like. The regulations will still need to be drafted in conjunction with the city solicitor and go forward to a public hearing before the Board of Health takes a vote on them. “The City Council voted a couple of weeks ago to change some of the things on the existing ordinance,” said Buck. The biggest changes in the ordinance are that it limDandee Donut Factory approved on Revere Beach Parkway Will be located alongside Barn Car Wash By Adam Swift its the biosafety levels that can operate in labs in the city and it places limits on animal testing. The updated council ordinance arose from the discussion over the construction of new life sciences facilities at the Suff olk Downs development. Under the new ordinance, no life sciences facility can operate at above a biosafety level 2, and animal testing is prohibited from all facilities outside the Suff olk Downs overlay district. Within the overlay district, testing is prohibited on certain animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits and monkeys. Buck said those changes will be incorporated into the new regulations.

Last week, the License Commission approved a common victualler license for a 50-seat restaurant that will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. “We are a diner with freshmade donuts open seven days a week,” said Dandee Donut Factory VP of operations Dave Pilarski. “The location is in the fi nishing stages of its buildout currently. It’s a full-service diner with a drive through and take away.” The restaurant will open on property owned by the Coppola family, who will be constructing a car wash on the property that will be opening alongside the Dandee Donuts. Owner Joe Coppola is the owner of Barn Car Wash on Squire Road and on Frank Lee Bennett Highway/ Rte. 1 north in Saugus. This will be the third location, the second in Revere. “The project has been under construction for some time, and now we are bringing it home and should be open soon,” said Coppola. Coppola said he believes Dandee Donuts will be a good tenant for the property and for Revere. Currently, there are three Dandee Donuts locations in Florida. Pilarski said a location in Marblehead recently closed to make way for the Revere location.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 5 School Committee approves new locker room supervision policy By Adam Swift A new team supervision policy in the Revere school athletics handbook will give coaches greater oversight over what happens in the locker room. Last week, the School Committee signed off on the new policy, which was presented by Athletic Director Frank Shea. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly said the new policy is a result of new state legislation triggered by incidents in locker rooms in other districts in the state. Parents and students will have to sign off on the policy before sports seasons begin, as they do with several other athletic policies. “This policy specifi cally deals with coaches and supervision of athletes, specifi cally in locker rooms and team changing room areas,” said Shea. “It addresses DONUT | FROM Page 3 According to the company’s website, there are franchising opportunities for Dandee Donuts primarily throughout the South. About half of the restaurant’s business is through the sale of donuts, while the other half is mainly breakfast sandwiches, burgers, eggs and other diner menu items, according to Pilarski. “It looks like a great spot, a vital need for adult supervision whenever students are in a coach’s care in an athletic facility both on campus and off campus.” Shea said the policy brings awareness to coaches that they have to be more vigilant in all areas, and it strengthens the athlete handbook by including policies similar to ones being updated and used in other districts. “In the last couple of years, there have been some incidents in surrounding districts that have centered around team rooms or locker rooms, so schools are strengthening their policies by adding language such as this,” said Shea. “It is a release of liability policy that tells students and parents that they will be monitored while in locker rooms.” The policy doesn’t mean that a coach will be a constant presand I look forward to having another breakfast place around,” said License Commissioner Linda Guinasso. The commission unanimously approved the license. David Ferrara, the manager of the Revere location, said the new restaurant will have several benefi ts for the city. “We’re looking to put a lot of people to work, so it’s going to be great for the community,” he said.

Some of the most high-profi le high school locker room incidents came to light in Danvers last year, where several teams were accused of using racist language in their locker rooms. Shea said the schools will provide a changing stall or privacy curtains for any students who want them, as he said is already the case in almost all of the district’s locker room facilities. “Just having kids aware that coaches are there gives them an atmosphere of safety and it will protect us from anything bad happening going forward,” said Shea. License Commissioner Daniel Occena said the franchise chose a good location for its business. “I’m excited to try your donuts, and I think it will be great for Revere – this twist to a breakfast business,” he said. The Dandee Donut Factory boasts over 50 varieties of handmade donuts, including chocolate dip French crullers, maple bacon and peanut butter & jelly. DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT!

Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Lot line issue delays Broadway motor vehicle license vote By Adam Swift T he License Commission is looking for a little clarity on a border dispute before taking a vote on issuing a used car license at 1087R Broadway. The lot was the long-time home of Kevin Used Cars and was recently purchased by Raymond Desamours, who is looking to open his own used car lot with 50 vehicles onsite. But abutters have disputed the lot lines of the property and claim that the prior licensee operated at the site with no utilities and encroached upon their property. The commission voted to continue the hearing on the license for Desamours to its October meeting, giving the issue more time to potentially play out in land court and to get more information from the city’s health and building inspectors and the city solicitor. “The applicant is a successful businessman [who has] spent a lifetime in the auto business with auto sales, auto repair and also a taxi cab business,” said Don MacDonald, the attorney for DesaRevere, let us wrap your home in energy savings all year round. mours. “He has an existing license in East Boston, but he does not own the property.” In July, MacDonald said, Desamours purchased the Broadway property so he could open a used car sales business on his own property. “Prior to his purchase, we did our due diligence and found that the property is available as a nonconforming use to sell cars,” said MacDonald. “The use of the property can transfer to the new owner as long as the nonconformity of the use is not increased.” MacDonald said Desamours plans to make some improvements to the property and sell used cars from the lot seven days per week from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. However, there has already been some dispute over the property before Desamours has opened for business.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 13 DISPUTE | FROM Page 8 Management. Police offi cers recommended the dispute be taken up in court, and no legal action was taken at the time. According to MacDonald and Desamours, the dispute could have been the result of an abutter who was unhappy because they were unsuccessful in purchasing the property for themselves. “Since that time, it is my opinion that it has been harassment with respect to the property line,” said MacDonald. “I can show photographs where they are blocking the owner’s access to the property and generally just harassing his proposed use of the property.” Michael Zaccaria of Action Emergency Management Services said there was much more to the story. Zaccaria said he and the other abutters were never notifi ed of the License Commission hearing and didn’t know about Desamours’ plans until last week, when he showed up and tried to install a fence. In addition to the notifi cation issue, Zaccaria said the shed on the used car lot is actually on his property, adding that his business had retained an attorney to address the land issues in court. Zaccaria also claimed that the address Desamours is using for the license, 1087R Broadway, does not exist, and that his quick claim deed from the Registry of Deeds shows the address as 1070 Broadway. “We have an issue with the address,” Zaccaria said. “He’s using our address, 1087 Broadway. We have an issue with the address that we’ve been dealing with for years with that property.” While Desamours has yet to operate his business, Zaccaria also said there have been problems in general with allowing 50 cars for sale on his property. “You can’t fi t 15 cars on the property, and there is no room for customer parking,” he said. “My main concern with the property is the disrepair of the property, the no utilities and the encumbrance it’s had on our facility.” MacDonald noted that many of the complaints had nothing to do with allowing the used car license for the property. “Whether there is a dispute about the lot line, about the placement of the shed, the placement of the fence, or the ownership of the property, if there is a defi cit in the deed, he doesn’t even have to be the owner of the property to apply for the license,” MacDonald said. “He is an experienced, well-qualifi ed, successful businessman who is well qualifi ed to sell cars in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts … he has the right to use that lot for 50 car sales. His encroachment on the other guy’s lot or whatever they did in the past has nothing to do with this applicant.” MacDonald did consent to the continuance of the hearing until October to give the License Commission time to gather more information from other city offi - cials. FOOTBALL | FROM Page 12 Patriots erupt for first win over Medford By Greg Phipps T he strong second-half showing in the previous week's loss to Plymouth South proved to be an omen of better things to come as the Revere High School Patriots football team erupted for its fi rst win of the season last Friday evening at Harry Della Russo Stadium. The Patriots, who ended a six-quarter scoreless stretch by tallying 20 points in the second half against Plymouth, broke the off ense open quickly against the Medford Mustangs last Friday. A combined 165 yards rushing from Maykin Funez Gonzalez and Davi Barreto, who returned to the lineup after missing the fi rst two regular-season games, helped the Patriots to a commanding 42-15 win over the Mustangs. It was the Greater Boston League (GBL) opener for Revere, which improved to 1-2 on the early season. Gonzalez scored two touchdowns and amassed 85 yards on 12 carries. Barreto was even more effi cient, running for 80 yards on just six carries. Barreto reportedly injured himself during the game and isn't likely to play in this Friday's home tilt against the winless Lynn English Bulldogs (scheduled 6 p.m. kickoff ). Having scored nine touchdowns over its last six quarters of football, Revere is also looking stronger in the special teams area. Kicker Felipe Maia made good on all six of his point-after kick attempts against Medford and, as punter, twice pinned Medford deep in its own territory. Revere's off ense against the Mustangs was also highlighted by a 25-yard scoring pass from quarterback Carlos Rizo to receiver Domenic Boudreau and a TD run from Giovanni Woodard. Head coach Lou Cicatelli also credited running back Danny Hou and defensive player Jason Shosho (10 tackles) for their eff ort. Cicatelli told the press this week that this Friday's contest against the Bulldogs provides a good opportunity to get back to.500. It would also aid in earning system points for a playoff bid down the road. He pointed out that, despite losing to Peabody and Plymouth South to start the season, the team earns points for playing those highlyrated teams. # 11 Domenic Bodreau for the Revere Patriots gives instructions to his teammates during their game Thursday with Medford.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 15 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ The Christian Flag Raised at Revere City Hall By Sal Giarratani T his past April, the Christian fl ag was raised in Boston’s City Hall Plaza at the fl agpole area when a lawsuit was fi led against the City of Boston barring a group headed by Hal Shurtleff of Camp Constitution in New Hampshire and other Christian groups. It went all the way up to the US Supreme Court and, by a 9-0 vote, it forced the city to allow the fl ag to be raised at the fl agpole site and was attended by a large crowd of supporters. I attended this ceremony because we are living in troubled times. Everyone is getting pitted against the other. We have lost many of our values that created this democratic republic of ours. We have lost respect for our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We have lost respect for our founding fathers. We have lost respect for our American fl ag. In a few years’ time, we will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation; how will we celebrate it? I know how we celebrated the Bicentennial when I was still 20-something. We were proud to be Americans like Lee Greenwood sings. We respected our past and knew we weren’t perfect. Today, we seem eager to throw away our historical past and its founders who sacrifi ced all to make our liberty possible. Getting back to earlier this month when the Camp Constitution group was allowed to raise their Christian fl ag again on the fl agpole outside Revere City Hall where another sizable crowd showed up again for the ceremony. Speaking at this fl ag raising ceremony was Shurtleff , along with a number of speakers, including Rev. Timothy Borgertman from the First Congregational Church of Revere. The Christian flag was first conceived on September 26, 1897, at Brighton Chapel on Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY. The superintendent of a Sunday school, Charles C. Overton, gave an impromptu lecture to the students assembled after the scheduled speaker failed to show up. One thing led to another and shazam a Christian fl ag was born. Nowadays in our public schools, too many school systems make standing for the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag optional. One time doing so wasn’t even a student choice. No wonder we have so many young people who don’t know the fi rst thing about our country and the work and sacrifi ce taken to make it so. For those who think our fl ag isn’t good enough to stand for, look around the world at countries that permit little if any freedom to its citizenry. We aren’t a perfect place yet and may never be but at least we have our personal freedom to do as we wish. Just look around this world of ours and try picking a country better than ours. I haven’t found one yet. I say God Bless the USA from the Atlantic to the Pacifi c (even California)! Mass Broadband poised to help Gateway Cities win the future Advocate Staff Report T he Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) issued a much-anticipated request for proposal (RFP) for the Digital Equity Partnership Program last week. Drawing on resources from the state’s new Digital Equity Fund, the program will support several key strategies to close the digital divide, including the following: • Digital literacy training programs to help residents build skills to use digital technologies • Eff orts to distribute computers and other devices to underserved residents • Free Wi-Fi in aff ordable housing developments • Free Wi-Fi in public spaces, such as libraries, community centers and commercial corridors • Outreach to help residents take advantage of digital literacy training and low-cost internet service plans These funds can go to regional planning agencies, community foundations, public and nonprofi t internet services providers and other nonprofi ts in a position to advance digital equity. Digital equity coalitions or other partnerships with a lead agency may also apply. The Digital Equity Partnership Program aligns closely with the recommendations outlined in the digital equity policy blueprint of the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth (MassINC). With the creation of a Municipal Digital Equity Planning Program, MBI is also advancing the most urgent recommendation in the blueprint. Cities will be able to access skilled consultants to help assess their needs and develop comprehensive digital equity strategies. These plans will then roll up into the state digital equity plan and help determine how Massachusetts allocates the large windfall it will receive for broadband through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The resources MBI will be deploying in the coming months present a transformative opportunity for Gateway Cities. Digital technology has increasingly large implications for education, workforce development, health and well-being and housing and economic development. With these dollars, burgeoning digital equity eff orts in several Gateway Cities will be able to expand. Gateway Cities that have yet to develop digital equity strategies can now access funding and support to launch robust eff orts without further delay. The creation of a fellowship program for digital equity is the only near-term MassINC recommendation that MBI has yet to adopt. Three-year fellowship positions modeled on MassDevelopment’s Transformative Development Initiative appear to be more critical than ever. Staff capacity is severely constrained in municipal governments. Even on a good day, few Gateway Cities have personnel on hand with expertise in digital equity issues. A fellowship program run by a sophisticated, statewide, quasi-public agency will have the reach necessary to recruit, train and support professionals who can lead comprehensive digital equity campaigns. In the coming years, broadband investments will occur alongside other infrastructure upgrades in Gateway Cities. Anyone who has attempted to address more than one utility when digging up city streets will tell you that this coordination is complex and extremely time-consuming. Staff with infrastructure expertise and the ability to lead crossfunctional teams will be more in demand than ever. With a strong fellowship program, MBI can put Gateway City governments in a better position to win the future. U PENALTY RELIEF FROM THE IRS nder IRS Notice 202236 released by the IRS in August, taxpayers will receive automatic relief from failure to fi le penalties for calendar years 2019 and 2020. Over 1.6million taxpayers have already received late fi ling penalty notices and many have already paid the balances due. The IRS expects to issue refund checks approximating $1.2 billion. The abatement of penalties will be automatic. Taxpayers are not required to request abatement of these penalties. The IRS should have made payment of these refunds to taxpayers by the end of September. The IRS has been so backed up since the pandemic, don’t be surprised if they send out checks well into October or even November. All 2019 and 2020 tax returns will need to be fi led by September 30, 2022 in order to receive the relief from the failure to fi le penalties. This relief granted by the Internal Revenue Service is intended to help struggling taxpayers that were aff ected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to allow it to focus on processing the millions of tax returns that have not been processed as well as millions of taxpayer correspondence letters received by the IRS. The IRS is hoping to return back to normal for the 2023 tax fi ling season. It has been next to impossible to reach the IRS by phone. Even the Priority Hotline dedicated to CPA’s and enrolled agents has been nearly impossible to get through to over the past two years. The types of tax returns eligible for relief would be Form 1040, 1041, 1120, 1120-S, 1065, 990, 990-PF, 990-T and several others. Another reason for the penalty relief is that additions to tax or penalties for failure to timely fi le returns continued to accrue during periods of postponed filing dates for both 2019 and 2020 under the presidential emergency declaration in March of 2020 in response to the pandemic. The AICPA and other groups and firms have repeatedly advocated that the IRS provide failure to fi le and other penalty relief under procedures similar to those for a fi rst-time abatement administrative waiver, but based upon the COVID-19 pandemic as reasonable cause for the failure.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 17 Free Online Hearing Tests You Can Take at Home Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any good online hearing tests? My husband has hearing loss, but I can’t get him to go in and get his hearing checked, so I thought a simple online test could help him recognize he has a problem. What can you tell me? Loud Talking Linda Dear Linda, There’s actually a growing number of very good online and app-based hearing tests available that will let your husband check his hearing on his own. These tests are a quick and convenient option for the millions of Americans that have mild to moderate hearing loss but often ignore it, or don’t want to go through the hassle or expense of visiting an audiologist for a hearing exam. Who Should Test? Hearing loss for most people develops gradually over many years of wear and tear, which is the reason many people don’t realize they actually have a hearing problem. Anyone who has difficulty hearing or understanding what people say, especially in noisier environments or over the phone. Or, if you need a higher volume of music or TV than other people, should take a few minutes to test their hearing. Self-Hearing Tests Online and app-based hearing tests can serve as a great screening tool. They are not meant to be a diagnosis, but rather to give you an idea of how bad your hearing loss is and what can be done about it. For most do-it-yourself hearing tests, you’ll be advised to wear ear headphones or earbuds and sit in a quiet spot. You also need to know that there are two different types of tests available. One type is known as pure-tone testing, where tones are played in decreasing volumes to determine your specifi c level of hearing loss. And the other type is known as speech-in-noise or digits-in-noise (DIN) where you’ll be asked to identify words, numbers, or phrases amid background noise. Where to Test If your husband uses a smartphone or tablet, two of my favorite app-based hearing tests are the hearWHO app created by the World Health Organization, and the Mimi Hearing Test app. Both apps are free to use and are available through the App Store and Google Play. HearWHO allows users to check their hearing status and monitor it over time using a DIN test, while Mimi uses pure-tone and masked threshold tests to give you a detailed picture of your hearing abilities. There are also a wide variety of online hearing tests your husband can take on a computer. Some top online tests – all offered by hearing aid manufacturers – for speech-in-noise or DIN tests can be accessed at ReSound (resound.com/en-us/online-hearing-test) and Mircle Ear (miracle-ear.com/online-hearing-test). And some good online hearing tests for pure-tone testing are available by Signia (signia.net/en/service/hearing-test); Ergo (eargo.com/hearing-health/ hearing-check); and MD Hearing Aid (mdhearingaid.com/hearing-test). All of these hearing tests are completely free to use and take less than fi ve minutes to complete. What to do with Results If the tests indicate your husband has hearing loss, it’s best to think of that as a starting point. He should take results to his doctor or an audiologist for further evaluation. Many insurance providers and Medicare Advantage plans cover routine hearing exams, however original Medicare does not. If his hearing loss is mild to moderate, he should look into the new over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, which are available this fall online and at retailers like Best Buy, Walgreens and CVS. OTC hearing aids don’t require a prescription or medical examination for purchase and they’re much more aff ordable than traditional hearing aids you buy through an audiologist or a licensed hearing instrument specialist.

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 budget items in the 2021-2022 session. A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto. In a full 160-member House, the governor needs the support of 54 representatives to sustain a veto when all 160 representatives vote—and fewer votes when some members are absent or a seat is vacant. Baker fell short of that goal as 36 votes was the most support he received on any veto. The House easily overrode all 37 vetoes, including six that were overridden unanimously. It was mostly the 27 GOP members who voted with the Republican governor to sustain the vetoes, but no Republican representative voted with Baker 100 percent of the time. The three GOP members who voted with Baker the most times are Reps. Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk), 30 times (81.0 percent); Donald Berthiaume (R-Spencer) who voted with Baker 28 times (75.6 percent); and GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading) who voted with Baker 27 times (72.9 percent). The four GOP members who supported Baker the least number of times were Reps. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury) and David Vieira (R-Falmouth) who both voted with Baker only 20 times (54.0 percent); and Reps. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Joseph McKenna (R-Webster) who both voted with Baker only 21 times (56.7 percent). The vetoes had little support among the 125 Democrats in the House. One hundred and fourteen (91.2 percent) of them did not support the governor even once. Of the other eleven Democrats, the three who voted with Baker the most times were Reps. Michael Moran (D-Brighton) who voted with Baker four times (10.8 percent); and Chris Markey (D-Dartmouth) and David Robertson (DTewksbury) who both voted with Baker twice (5.4 percent). NUMBER OF TIMES REPRESENTATIVES SUPPORTED GOV. BAKER’S VETOES IN THE 2021-2022 SESSION Gov. Baker vetoed 37 proposals that were approved by the Legislature in 2021-2022. Here is how your representative fared in his or her support of Gov. Baker on the vetoes. The percentage next to the representative’s name represents the percentage of times that he or she supported Baker.

Jeff Turco 2.7 percent (1) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL REDUCED TRAFFIC FATALITIES AND PROTECT PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS (H 5103) – Gov. Baker has proposed amendments to a bill, sent to him by the Legislature a few days ago, designed to protect “vulnerable road users” which includes pedestrians, construction workers, emergency responders, bicyclists, skateboarders, roller skates and wheelchair users. “[The bill] strengthens traffi c safety regulations, making our roads safer and taking critical steps to save lives, and reduce crashes that needlessly put people at risk,” said sponsor Rep. Christine Barber (DSomerville) when the House approved the bill on September 12 and sent it to the governor. “With an emphasis on enhancing safeguards for pedestrians and bikers, the commonwealth positions itself as a leader in road user safety and promotes alternative modes of transportation.” A key provision of the bill requires vehicle drivers, when passing a vulnerable user, to pass at a safe distance of not less than 3 feet when the motor vehicle is traveling at 30 miles per hour or less, and an additional foot of clearance for every ten miles per hour that the vehicle is traveling above 30 miles per hour. Baker said that the passing distance formula presents enforcement and messaging challenges that would undermine the goal of a clearly understood and enforceable standard. “This bill would establish a sliding scale of passing distances depending on the motor vehicles’ speed, which would be confusing for motorists and diffi cult to enforce for local police,” said Baker, instead proposing an amendment that would establish a consistent three-foot distance requirement. Other provisions of the measure include establishing a process to lower the default speed limit to 25 mph on state highways and parkways in thickly settled or business districts; requiring higher-visibility mirrors and lateral sideguards on certain state-owned, state-operated and state-contracted trucks; and creating a uniform reporting tool for crashes involving a pedestrian or cyclist.. Baker said he supports several pieces of the bill including the requirement that some state vehicles use higher-visibility mirrors and lateral sideguards. As far as the section creating a uniform reporting tool for crashes involving a pedestrian or cyclist Baker said that there already exists an online reporting public-facing platform and the new section is not necessary. The amendments are now before the House for consideration. EDUCATION BILLS SENT TO A STUDY COMMITTEE – Several bills aff ecting public schools and education were sent to a study committee where bills are rarely actually studied and are essentially defeated. It is a way to kill a proposal without holding a vote on the bill itself. Here are some of the education bills that were sent off to a study committee: COMMISSION ON GEOGRAPHY TEACHING IN SCHOOLS (H 703) – Would create an 8-member commission to study and investigate the status of geography education in public schools and make recommendations on how to improve it. “Expanding geography knowledge is much more than knowing where things are on a map,” said sponsor Rep. Todd Smola (R-Warren) who plans to fi le the bill again next year. “It helps to improve our understanding of issues at home and around the world. Global issues have a tremendous impact on what happens to us within our own country as well. A greater focus on geography education will work to the benefi t of all students in the commonwealth.” “It is always disappointing to see a good bill sent to study,” continued Smola. “I also recognize that the creation of a commission to study any issue is an extensive undertaking that the Legislature takes seriously. The hope is that there is room for expansion in the Massachusetts history and social science frameworks for greater geography education. If we can get there without the need for a legislative study, I am all for it.” TEACH PERSONAL FINANCE IN SCHOOLS (H 578) – Would require the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop and assist in the implementation of curriculum on personal fi - nancial literacy to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to become self-supporting and to enable them to make critical decisions regarding personal fi nances. The components of the curriculum would include the understanding of loans, borrowing money, interest, credit card debt and online commerce; rights and responsibilities of renting or buying a home; saving, investing and planning for retirement; banking and fi nancial services; balancing a checkbook; state and federal taxes; and charitable giving. Supporters say that schools should teach these practical skills in school because by the time students graduate high school, they do not have this practical knowledge that they will use for the rest of their lives. Sponsor Rep. Peter Durant (RSpencer) did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill and its defeat. MEDIA LITERACY (H 688) – Would require the Department of Education to integrate media literacy skills in all health and core curricular content for grades K-12. Media literacy is defi ned in the bill as consumption and production of media, digital products and communication technology of all kinds including news BEACON | SEE Page 20

Passed away on September 19, 2022 after a long but valiant battle with dementia. Born in East Boston to her late parents Michael & Mary (Rymil) Costello. She was one of six children. She married her late husband Luke (Buddy) Coppola and moved to Revere where they raised their three children, Patricia (Michael) Biggs, Vail, CO, Richard (April) Coppola, Revere, MA & Christopher (Lisa) Coppola, Hollywood Beach, FL.

Also survived by eight great grandchildren and many loving nieces and nephews. She and her husband retired to Hollywood Beach, FL where they enjoyed many years enjoying the sunshine and the beach. After her husband passed, she moved back to her home, Revere, to be near her family. Peggy loved being surrounded by her family, no matter where she was or what she was doing, her family is where her heart was, especially her grandchildren. She was happiest simply by being around family. She truly enjoyed cooking for her family and enjoyed feeding people. She loved reading a good book, spending time on the beach & dancing. Peggy, loved by so many friends and family, was the life of the party. She will be missed by many. Arrangements were privately held.

The regulations will include a license application process. “The organizations that will be utilizing the buildings being built in Suff olk Downs will be applying to us for this license,” said Buck. “Any type of biomedical company that wants to go into Suff olk Downs will O f Lynn. Formerly of Revere, passed away on September 24 at the age of 79. Born in Boston’s North End on April 19, 1943 to the late Michael and Virginia (Mancuso).

Cherished grandfather of Christina Lanfranchi, Jacob DeMonte, David Lanfranchi Jr, John Lanfranchi, Layla DeMonte, Aubrey DeMonte, and Henry DeMonte. Michael served his country in the United States Army, after which he worked for the Polaroid Corporation before retiring in 1997. “Big Mike” treasured his time spent with “the boys” down at the coff ee shop. He loved spending his summer days at Revere Beach, where friends and strangers alike gravitated towards him. He was happy when he was eating good food, happiest when shared with friends and family. Mike touched so many with his larger-than-life personality, his infectious smile, and especially with his generosity. He never showed up empty handed. His greatest accomplishment was his family who he loved with all his heart. They were the pride and light of his life. A Visitation was held at the Paul Buonfi glio & Sons-Bruno Funeral Home 128 Revere St, Revere on Wednesday, September 28 followed by a Prayer Service, also in the funeral hone. Private Interment.

O f Revere. Formerly of East Boston, passed away on Wednesday, September 21, surrounded by the comfort & love of his family.

Interment followed at Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett. The regulations would also require the city to establish an Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) to help make recommendations on applications to the Board of Health. The committee would have a member of the local health board or municipal government, as well as a community representative. “In terms of their reporting out to us, they are responsible for completing the biosafety level designation and risk assessment,” said Buck. The regulations could also provide for the organizations applying for a license to pay for a subject matter expert. “Almost all of the regulations talk about the fact that none of us are experts in biological safety as boards of health; therefore, we will, hopefully, write into our regulations that we also have the ability to have a subject matter expert,” she said. “The cost of the subject matter expert would be associated with the organization.” The next steps in the process include the drafting of the regulations with the assistance of the city solicitor, which will then be presented to the Board of Health for review and for a public hearing before potential approval. 1.

And it encompasses the foundational skills of digital citizenship and Internet safety “including the norms of appropriate, responsible, ethical, healthy behavior and cyberbullying prevention, and the ability to recognize bias, stereotypes, representation and the lack of inclusion in media messages.” Supporters say the media has grown and expanded in many directions and students should be well educated on its many aspects. Sponsor Rep. David Rogers (DCambridge) did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill and its defeat. REQUIRE STUDENTS TO DISCLOSE WHY THEY CHOOSE TO GO TO A SCHOOL OUTSIDE THEIR CITY OR TOWN (H 704) – Under current law, students can request, under the inter-district school choice program, that they be allowed to attend a school outside of where they live. Participation in the program is limited to 2 percent of all public school students enrolled. Each district decides whether it will participate in this program. For the 2021-2022 school year, 170 or 53 percent of Massachusetts’ total districts chose to participate in the program. Tuition is paid by the sending district to the receiving district. The bill would require these students and their parents or guardians to meet with the school’s administrators to discuss the reasons for wanting to leave the district. Supporters say this does not alter the program but simply adds another reasonable requirement for students applying to attend a school outside their district. Sponsor Rep. Todd Smola did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill and QUOTABLE QUOTES “This winter will be, at best, a very high-cost energy winter. So everybody should conserve. Everybody who has close friends, please tell them conserve … I think it’s useful for everyone to be aware of that and spread the word for conservation as much as possible.” ---Judy Chang, undersecretary of Energy and Climate Solutions in the Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs. “Investing in these important open space projects will make Massachusetts parks more resilient to climate change, increase the availability of open space and improve access to the outdoors for people in communities across the state.” ---Gov. Baker announcing $12 million in grant funding for park improvements and open space acquisitions in 43 Massachusetts communities across the state. “All of us are going to have to work together. We can’t rest on our laurels. We are making progress, but we have a long way to go.” ---University of Massachusetts President Marty Meehan upon accepting the award by the Massachusetts Association for Mental Health for his deep commitment to mental health advocacy and education among college students. “For 33 years, as a Western Massachusetts native, I was represented in Washington by U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy. I can’t begin to express what an honor it is to become a steward of his legacy and his commitment to invigorating civil discourse and civic engagement to create a better, stronger country for all. ---Ex-Sen. Adam Hinds (D-Pittsfi eld) who resigned from the Massachusetts Senate to begin his new job as the executive director of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. “We are very pleased to be able to provide this funding to school districts to improve HVAC systems and air quality in classrooms for students and staff . This grant program will give schools the fl exibility to make improvements that best suit their needs.” ---Education Secretary James Peyser announcing $100 million in grant funding for school districts to improve ventilation and indoor air-quality to support healthy learning environments. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of September 19-23, the House met for a total of 48 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 30 minutes. Mon. Sept. 19 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:09 a.m. Senate 11:18 a.m. to 11:24 a.m. Tues. Sept. 20 No House session No Senate session Wed. Sept. 21 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
