THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 Page 3 Running unopposed: Cogliandro still campaigns for his vote By Barbara Taormina W ard 3 incumbent City Councillor Anthony Cogliandro is running unopposed in the upcoming election. Although he's heading back to his seat on the council, he’s still out holding signs and talking with the people in the neighborhoods he represents about their needs and concerns. Cogliandro is a people politician. "I am the type who shows up at your doorstep if you have an issue," he said in an interview with The Revere Advocate. "I like being the point person, I know who to call to get things done," he said. While he fi nds the role of ward councillor rewarding, he admits that the job of city councillor comes with high stakes. "I'm one of eleven people who has a say in how the city runs. When it comes to biolabs and $500 million high schools, those are things that bring a lot of pressure to the job," he said. Because of that pressure, Cogliandro is at every meeting possible when city business is on the agenda. Fellow councillors know him as someone who always does the homework and always meets with constituents when there's a plan or project in the works that could affect their quality of life. ANTHONY COGLIANDRO Ward 3 Councillor He said the city found more wetlands than anyone anticipated at Wonderland. "I was the only one to ask about the conservation commission's fi ndings," he said. As for the new high school, which is now being planned in Ward 3, Cogliandro said he opposed the Wonderland site. It wasn't because he favored one location over the other, it was because of the cost. "I couldn't see spending money that puts our city in the negative by millions of dollars. It was fi scally irresponsible," he said adding that fi nancial risk doesn't account for the $100 million eminent domain lawsuit the former owners of Wonderland are pursuing against the city. Cogliandro said the city needs to pause development and take the time needed to catch up with the recent expansion and population growth. He mentioned the police department which has 95 offi cers, and the chief says the city needs 135. However, he does welcome commercial development. "We defi nitely want more but where are they going to build?" he asked adding he frequently passes by the Sozio lot and wonders what's taking so long. "We need more commercial development but we have to be cautious about where it goes," he said. Many Revere residents know Cogliandro from his many years as an instructor at Revere Karate Academy. He said he uses a lot of his skills as a sixth-degree black belt on the council. He observes, listens and pays close attention to detail. He brings all of that to serving Ward 3, but also the city at large. "I ran for the council because I didn't want anyone else to move out of the city because they couldn't aff ord it," he said. The job as a city councillor has gotten more complicated but Cogliandro's motives have not. "My goal is always to do the right thing," he said.

Jeff Turco stands for Councillor McKenna To the Voters of Ward 1: I write to enthusiastically endorse Joanne McKenna for another term as your Ward 1 City Councilor. During the nearly three years we have worked together, Joanne McKenna has focused her efforts on getting things done for the residents of Ward 1. I have come to admire her genuineness of deliberation and her unending eff ort to get to the right decision. Joanne had proven she cares more about voting the right way than the popular way. Earlier this Spring Joanne took a stand for the taxpayers of Revere. In doing so, she was unfairly singled out and maligned. A project in Ward 1 was cancelled in retaliation. Yet, Joanne McKenna didn’t miss a beat and went back to work fi ghting for Ward 1. When others would have wilted, Joanne McKenna stood tall for Ward 1 and for what she believed to be right.

All my best, Jeff Turco State Representative Former airline gate agent sentenced for cheating airline ticketing system R ecently a Chelsea woman was sentenced in federal court in Boston for using her position as an airline gate agent to convert low-cost fl ights to more expensive fl ights and destinations for friends, family and acquaintances. Tiff any Jenkins, 35, was sentenced by U.S. Senior District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf to time served (one day) and 18 months of supervised release with the fi rst three months to be served on curfew. Jenkins pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud in October 2019. As a gate agent, Jenkins had access to the airline’s computer reservation database and had the ability to use a special code, referred to as an involuntary exchange or “INVOL,” to change fl ights for customers at no additional cost. This code enables agents to change flights for customers who miss their fl ights or experience a death in the family. During a 15-month period, from approximately July 1, 2016, through Sept. 27, 2017, Jenkins executed approximately 505 involuntary ticket exchanges for more than 100 diff erent passengers. Many of those exchanges occurred after the passenger was first booked on domestic fl ights at one of the airline company’s lowest available fares – often roundtrip fl ights between Las Vegas, Nev., and Long Beach, Calif. A short time later, Jenkins exchanged those tickets for a completely diff erent city pair, generally involving much more expensive international locations, for friends, family and acquaintances. Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy; the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Field Division, Jodi Cohen; and the Special Agent in Charge of the IRS’s Criminal Investigations in Boston, Harry Chavis, Jr., made the announcement.

Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 Mass. Legislature passes comprehensive tax relief package Bill includes $561.3 million in tax relief in FY24, $1.02 billion in FY27 and beyond W ith the goal of providing fi nancial relief to families across the Commonwealth while making Massachusetts more competitive with other states, the Massachusetts Legislature overwhelmingly enacted a bipartisan tax relief package supporting residents across all income levels on September 28. The Senate and House both passed their versions of the bill earlier this year and reconciled diff erences in their versions before enacting the bill. The bill is now on Governor Maura Healey’s desk for her signature and/ or other actions. “This tax relief package strikes the critically important balance of providing permanent fi nancial relief to residents and businesses across Massachusetts, without compromising the long-term fi nancial security of the Commonwealth,” stated Speaker of the House Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m confi dent that this tax reform legislation will help to make Massachusetts more aff ordable for all residents, while also helping to make the Commonwealth more competitive with other states. I want to thank Chairman Michlewitz, the members of the conference committee and all the members of the House, as well as Senate President Spilka and our partners in the Senate for working diligently to get this done.” “This is the most signifi cant tax relief package in a generation,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “This legislation is going to put real dollars into the pockets of the people who need it most, including parents, seniors, young people, and middle-class families who are struggling to keep up with rising costs. This bill includes a historic expansion of housing programs that will ignite aff ordable housing development and ease the housing crunch, as well as signifi cant relief for families with young children. It will also make Massachusetts a more competitive place to live and work and encourages businesses to continue investing in our region. I am deeply grateful for the work of Chair Rodrigues and Senator Moran on this package, as well as all of the Senate members, and off er my sincere thanks to Speaker Mariano and our colleagues in the House for their partnership and collaboration.” “This tax relief package will help thousands of residents keep more money in their pockets by providing much needed financial assistance,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), who is Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “This package will also help keep the Commonwealth an economically competitive work environment for both businesses and workers. I want to thank Speaker Mariano for his leadership, my counterparts on the conference committee for their tireless work to make this legislation possible, as well as the entire Legislature for their collaboration on this issue.” “This tax cut bill will touch almost every resident of Revere and Winthrop. Whether you are a senior, a parent, a child or a small investor, this bill focuses on providing you tax relief. I am proud to have spoken and voted in favor of this important bill. A billion-dollar tax cut is real money in the hands of the folks…” said State Representative Jeffrey Rosario Turco (D-Winthrop). “With the cost of living continuing to increase, many residents in Revere and beyond are struggling,” said RepresenJESSICA GIANNINO State Representative tative Jessica A. Giannino (DRevere). “These tax reforms will empower our families, strengthen our economy, and help build a more prosperous Commonwealth for all.” “Today the Senate took action, long in the making, to provide desperately needed tax relief to respond to household budgets under stress and employers struggling to compete in a state whose costs are a major challenge,” said Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). “I have been honored to not only serve on the conference committee for this legislation, but also to work across the aisle consistently to build consensus and partnership on a matter that has been a top priority for the Senate Republican caucus for years, and a necessity for the people who pay the bills for our state government. Over the past two years we have worked to illustrate the heavy burdens being carried by people in our state for things ranging from childcare to housing, and the uphill climb employers are facing on the road to greater prosperity for our economy. This legislation is a major fi rst step that will make a real diff erence for all of them.” The compromise bill includes the following tax changes: Child and Dependent Tax Credit: The bill increases the refundable tax credit for a dependent child, disabled adult, or senior from $180 to $310 per dependent in taxable year 2023, and then to $440 in taxable year 2024 and beyond, while eliminating the child/dependent cap. This expanded credit, which will benefi t more than 565,000 families, will be the most generous universal child and dependent tax credit in the country. Estate Tax: Massachusetts’ current estate tax, which has not been updated in many years, has become an outlier in several ways. The changes made in this bill update the tax to bring JEFFREY ROSARIO TURCO State Representative it more in line with other states and eliminate punitive elements of the tax for those with incomes just high enough to trigger it. The bill reduces the estate tax for all taxpayers and eliminates the tax for all estates under $2 million by allowing a uniform credit of $99,600. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): This bill increases the refundable EITC from 30 per cent to 40 per cent of the federal credit. This increase will provide crucial support to working individuals and families, benefi ting nearly 400,000 taxpayers with incomes under $60,000. Single Sales Factor Apportionment: Currently, most businesses in Massachusetts are subject to a three-factor apportionment based on location, payroll and receipts. To support companies headquartered in Massachusetts, this bill establishes a single sales factor apportionment in the Commonwealth based solely on receipts, matching what 39 other states currently do. Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit: This bill doubles the refundable senior circuit breaker tax credit, which supports limited-income seniors facing high rents or real estate taxes, from $1,200 to $2,400. This change is expected to impact over 100,000 seniors across Massachusetts. Rental Deduction Cap: This bill increases the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $4,000. This is expected to impact about 800,000 Massachusetts taxpayers. Short-Term Capital Gains Tax: At 12 per cent, Massachusetts is among the states with the highest short-term capital gains tax rate, and it taxes shortterm capital gains at a higher rate than long-term capital gains. The bill lowers the shortterm capital gains tax rate to 8.5 per cent. RELIEF | SEE Page 9

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 Page 9 Northeast Metro Tech Vocational Dean Named to Board of Directors of The Light Foundation S uperintendent David DiBarri was pleased to announce that Northeast Metro Tech Vocational Dean Russ Mezikofsky has been named to the Board of Directors of the Light Foundation – a nonprofi t organization that seeks to motivate and support young people. The Light Foundation was founded by retired New England Patriots off ensive lineman Matt Light while he was still amid a football career that landed him in the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. The foundation seeks to motivate young people by taking them out of their usual environments, and helps them develop the skills, values and mindset they need to create meaningful and productive futures. Dean Mezikofsky and Light have known each other personally for about a decade. Dean Mezikofsky, who is also a photographer, has photographed numerous events for The Light Foundation, which led Light to invite him to join the Board of Directors as it sought to add educators to its membership. The Light Foundation, due to its focus on young people, recently added both Dean Mezikofsky and another board member with educational backgrounds. “Since we’ve known each RELIEF | FROM Page 8 Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP): The bill increases the statewide cap from $10 million to $57 million for 2023, and subsequently to $30 million annually, which will provide Gateway Cities with an expanded tool to develop market rate housing. This increase is estimated to create 12,500 new homes in Gateway Cities and spur over $4 billion of private investment in these communities. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: This bill raises the annual authorization from $40 million to $60 million. This increased authorization cap provides enough funding to spur the creation of thousands of new units of affordable housing annually while also bolstering economic development. Local Option Property Tax Exemption for Affordable Housing: This new policy will permit municipalities to adopt a local property tax exemption for affordable real estate that is rented by a person whose income is less than a certain level set by the community.

Dean Mezikofsky hopes the new relationship will enable The Light Foundation and Northeast Metro Tech to form a working relationship, with the foundation helping Northeast students and Northeast students contributing to the work of the foundation. “The kids The Light Foundation helps are kids who might be in rough situations, and they triple the maximum credit from $6,000 to $18,000 and increases the amount claimable to $4,000 per year, easing the burden on homeowners facing the high cost of septic tank replacement or repair. Additional tax changes • Lead Paint Abatement: Doubles the credit to $3,000 for full abatement and $1,000 for partial abatement, to support families with older homes. • Dairy Tax Credit: Increases the statewide cap from $6 million to $8 million, to provide more assistance for local farmers during downturns in milk prices. • Student Loan Repayment Exemption: Ensures that employer student loan payments are not treated as taxable compensation. • Commuter Transit Benefi ts: Makes public transit fares, as well as ferry and regional transit passes and bike commuter expenses, eligible for the commuter expense tax deduction. • Apprenticeship Tax Credit Reforms: Expands the occupations for which this workforce development credit is available. • Cider Tax: Raises the maximum amount of alcohol for remind me a lot of some of the kids who go to Northeast,” said Dean Mezikofsky. “I want to get Matt to come to the school and we want to get more Northeast kids involved in The Light Foundation programs.” Mezikofsky spent seven years as a teacher at Northeast Metro Tech, and he has served for the past four years as a Vocational Dean, overseeing six shops and half of the freshman class.

Additional reforms In addition to tax relief, the bill updates Chapter 62F of the Massachusetts General Laws, which triggered nearly $3 billion in taxpayer refunds in 2022. This law requires that excess revenue be returned to taxpayers when tax revenue collections in a given fi scal year exceed an annual tax revenue cap. The bill ensures that each credit is applied equally to every taxpayer. The bill also adjusts the Stabilization Fund cap, allowing the Commonwealth’s savings account to retain more funding. In addition, the bill requires married taxpayers who fi le a joint return with the federal government to fi le a joint state return, subject to exemptions or adjustments promulgated by the Department of Revenue. 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Everett is now the lone Division 1 GBL Football Team after realignment New this year, Malden drops from D-1 fi rst time ever, now in Division 3 with Revere, Lynn Classical, Lynn English By Steve Freker E verett has stood alone quite a bit in the Greater Boston League for most of the past three decades — and the modern era in general – when it comes to success on the gridiron. The Crimson Tide won a whopping 13 Division 1 Super Bowl State Championships under former Head Coach John DiBiaso Jr. from 1993-2017. The only other GBL teams to win a Super Bowl title in the past 50 years were Head Coach Silvio Cella and the Revere High Patriots in 1973 and Head Coach Armand Caraviello and the Medford High Mustangs in 1978. Everett has also had a monopoly on the GBL Football Championship for the past three decades, winning every one except two from 1993-2023. Cambridge upThe Revere High School Boys Soccer Team tied GBL leader Somerville on Tuesday, 1-1, and are just one game out of fi rst place in the GBL. From left: Revere High’s Luis Silva (6), Kenan Batic (4), captain JP Chavarria (18), Eric DeCarvalho (8), Kaue Alves (7) and, in front, junior captain Bryan Medina (8). Malden dropped down two divisions to Division 3 for the fi rst time in its history for some basic reasons, according to Director of Athletics Charlie Conefrey. “One of the main reasons is that we are now aligned with schools in our own league of similar size and similar participation numbers in the sport,” said Conefrey, who also sits on the Board of Directors for the MIAA. With the shift to Division 3, Mike Sanristil is serving as captain for the Michigan Wolverines in his fi fth year of football in Ann Arbor. He is considered the best player to ever wear a Malden Pop Warner Football uniform who played high school football at Everett High. (Courtesy/Michigan Football) set Everett on Thanksgiving Day in 2002, clinching that year’s GBL title. Malden, under then Head Coach Joe Pappagallo, upset Everett on October 24, 2015, and won the GBL crown after clinching it with a win over Medford. All in all, alone at the top has been a frequent perch for the Everett High football team. Well, now they are defi nitely alone at the top in the Greater Boston League for another reason. The Tide is now the only Division 1 team left in the league after the newest Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) realignments for postseason football tournament play were announced. Last year, two of the eight GBL teams competed in the Eastern Mass. highest division, Everett and Malden. Not coincidentally, Everett and Malden are two of the winningest teams in the history of MIAA football, going back to the early 1900s. In fact, Everett is number 10 in THE NATION at 844378 overall (since 1893). Malden is now in the same spot as Lynn Classical, Lynn English, Somerville and Revere. Medford dropped down to Division 4 this year and Chelsea moved up one division to Division 7. Size-wise, Everett has the largest enrollment in the GBL, followed by Revere, Lynn English, Malden, Somerville, Medford, Chelsea and Lynn Classical. Conefrey stressed the alignments were for playoff games and postseason considerations only, and would aff ect nothing as to GBL league play. The only GBL team that does not play a full league slate is Chelsea, which is allowed to pick the teams it wishes to play from the GBL – this year selecting Medford and Somerville only. “We are hoping to qualify for the postseason for the fi rst time since 2015 this year and then compete for the title in our new division,” Conefrey said. Revere High Boys Soccer Team just one game out of first-place in GBL standings; Everett boys close to top as well R evere High Boys Soccer is just one game and three goals out of fi rst place in the Greater Boston League race. Somerville sits atop the list at 5-1-1 in league play, while Revere is right behind at 5-2-1 in the league. Everett is the only team to have beaten Somerville this season – 2-1 in the season opener. Revere, which tied Somerville, 1-1, in their only meeting on Tuesday this week, put the Patriots right in the mix for the GBL crown. Everett, at 4-3-1 GBL, is right there for the league top spot as well. Everett has a split with Somerville, and a big one on its list is a home game with Revere on Thursday, October 12 at 4:15 p.m. Revere has a game to make up with Somerville before the season ends, a game which very well could decide this year’s GBL Boys Soccer Championship. All four top GBLers – Somerville, Revere, Medford (4-3-1 GBL also) and Everett – appear to be headed to postseason play at this point. Stay tuned. Former Malden Pop Warner star Mike Sanristil returns for 5th year of collegiate career at University of Michigan H e’s probably the best player to ever don a uniform in the Malden Pop Warner Football program. Mike Sanristil, who played for fi ve years in the Malden Pop Warner program and attended Malden Public Schools for eight years, before changing course and heading to Everett High for his high school career, is a fi fthyear Wolverine and team captain for the University of Michigan. Already named a Big 10 “Defensive Player of the Week” for returning a Pick-6 interception in a Michigan win over Rutgers, Sanristil is projected to be at least a 6th round pick in the 2024 NFL draft. If so, he would be the second Malden Pop Warner star and Malden resident to become an NFL pick in the past three years, joining present Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely in that elite group. Likely played for six years in Malden Pop Warner and three years at Malden High School before transferring to Everett High immediately after his junior year football season at Malden High. Following is an excerpt from a writeup in Sports Illustrated on Sanristil’s decision to return to Ann Arbor before the season. “The opportunity to spend another year in Ann Arbor, to continue his education at a world-class university, to continue building on the bonds he’s created with his teammates and his coaches, and ultimately the opportunity to win a national championship - all compelling reasons for a return to Michigan. “From wide receiver to defensive back, Michigan’s Mike Sainristil has certainly made his mark on the football program in Ann Arbor. After putting his name on the map as a solid defender in 2022, Sainristil had a decision to make - enter his name in the NFL draft, or return to Michigan for a fi fth season. “After much thought and careful consideration, Sainristil chose Michigan once again.” “Year after year, Ann Arbor is always ranked top-three as a college town,” Sainrstil said in a recent interview. “The people here are great, you walk around and everyone is nice to you. Ann Arbor is home to me. “I love my teammates, coach Harbaugh - my football Dad - was giving me the opportunity to leave, I said, ‘no dad, I want to stay home.’” OUT OF STATE PROPERTY AND THE MASS ESTATE TAX M assachusetts General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 1(f) specifi cally exempts from the Massachusetts estate tax tangible personal property and real estate located outside of Massachusetts. The Commonwealth of Mass directs taxpayers to calculate the federal gross estate for estate tax purposes and then provides for a reduction of out of state tangible personal property and out of state real estate. Under the current proposed tax relief package that is now on Governor Healey’s desk (that she has until October 8, 2023 to sign), the estate tax exemption will be increased to $2,000,000. If a taxpayer dies with a $2,000,000 taxable estate, the $2,000,000 is reduced by $60,000 in order to arrive at the adjusted taxable estate, or $1,940,000. The Table B Computation of Maximum Credit for State Death Taxes results in a credit of $99,600. This table is utilized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to determine the estate tax due when someone dies in Massachusetts. Under the old federal estate tax law, the IRS allowed a credit for state death taxes on the federal estate tax return. The federal government no longer allows for this tax credit. Massachusetts, however, actually uses that table to determine the Massachusetts estate tax due. The Massachusetts estate tax return actually piggy backs the prior Federal estate tax return based upon the 1999 Revision date. We, as preparers, have to prepare the current Massachusetts estate tax return and the federal estate tax return, Form 706, as it existed back in 1999. The good news is that an estate of $2.5million would only result in $44,000 in Massachusetts estate taxes. Compare this with the current estate tax provision in Massachusetts which would result in an estate tax of $143,600. Quite a big difference. This is due to the $99,600 credit against the Massachusetts estate tax based upon the fi rst $2million of the gross estate being exempt from the estate tax. Only the estate value over $2million is actually subject to tax. The Dassori v. Commissioner of Revenue 2016 decision involved a case of fi rst impression. The probate court judge decided the case against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts holding that a real estate investment in Paris, France was not subject to the Massachusetts estate tax. The real estate in question was held in a vehicle similar to a nominee realty trust utilized by real estate attorneys in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth tried to argue that the real estate investment was intangible personal property due to the nature of the taxpayer’s interest in the entity that actually held title to the real estate. The probate judge considered the investment to be real estate based upon Massachusetts law and, as such, the real estate could not be subject to estate tax by Massachusetts. Otherwise, that would represent a due process violation under the 14th amendment to the Constitution. Joseph D.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 Page 15 Ailing Patriots: Limping Revere falls to English, turns page to Everett By Dom Nicastro T he question these days for the Revere High School football team isn’t who’s playing. It’s who isn’t. The Patriots, just like last year, have been snake bitten by the injury bug so badly that they’re down about 30% from their initial roster of more than 50. That depletion showed in the team’s 28-6 loss to Lynn English last week in Greater Boston League action at Lynn’s Fraser Field. The loss dropped the Patriots to 0-4, and they’ll limp into a game no one wants to limp into – at home against Everett Friday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. “It’s worse than last year,” Revere coach Lou Cicatelli said. “It blows my mind. We’ve got a lot of younger kids as it is. We’re playing this week with a lot of freshmen and sophomores.” Among the injured are starting center Joel Vasquez, defensive end Ethan Romagos, tailback and linebacker Abbas Atoui, backup quarterback and slot receiver Danny Hou and receiver Gabriel Paretsis. Even running back Giovanni Woodard, who has received a lion’s share of the carries and has performed admirably this season, has been sick in practices this week and hopes to be on the fi eld against Everett. “All we can do is show up and give the kids a chance to practice, do their best and give some guys a chance to shine and play varsity football,” Cicatelli said. “We’ll see where it goes, and we’ll do our best.” Revere did all it could with a depleted staff last week in Lynn. But the Bulldogs were ahead the entire game, taking a 21-0 lead at halftime and a 28-0 edge into the last quarter. Lynn English’s Limbert Thomas and Isaiah Goorahlal had rushing touchdowns, and Cody Richardson had two interceptions. Thomas found Mitchell Purter for a 15yard score and tossed to Zamari Omosefe for a 56-yard English touchdown. Revere quarterback Carlos Rizo plunged into the end zone on a 2-yard quarterback sneak to break up the shutout, but it was far too late to make it a competitive game. “I think off ensively we did OK,” Cicatelli said, “but we still can’t get any continuity going. Our offensive line is very young. They’re 2023 Pats Seniors, shown from left to right: front row: Victor Andrade, Hakim Malki, Ashley Chandler, Guillermo Menjivar, Brayan Lemus, Ahmed Bellemsiel, Zakaria Benkirane, Felipe Maia, Diego Madrigal and Jose Ozuna; back row: Ethan Romagos, Anthony Pham, Alejandro Ventura, Rafael Teixeira, Carlos Rizo Jr., Abbas Atoui, Walter Rodriguez, Patrick Keefe, Javan Close and Carlos Jimenez. all sophomores.” Once again, Revere looked good at times and moved the ball but usually had a setback in the form of a penalty or long loss of yardage. Rizzo made a beautiful connection with Hou for a 30yard gain, for example, but that drive stalled in the fi rst half. Felipe Maia, the team’s punter and kicker, continues to be a bright spot with some booming kicks. Cicatelli had nothing but praise for the Patriot with the strong boot. “He’s been a bright light,” Cicatelli said of his kicker. “He’s just been really good for us. Another bright light was Gio [Woodard], but he can’t do it on his own.” Everett has been playing Everett-like football. The team is 3-1 and on a three-game winning streak, beating Somerville (590), Lynn English (35-0) and Boston College High (35-34). “We’re going to play the game and try to get out of Dodge, hopefully, somewhat healthy,” Cicatelli said. “That’s all you can do. If we lose any more guys it’s going to be tough. Everett has very strong ball control, and they’re very, very physical.” Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 Page 17 ~ RHS PATRIOTS SPORTS ROUND-UP ~ Revere girls’ soccer team tops Malden, ties Somerville Revere beat Malden, 1-0, last week to climb to 8-0. “Coach Rick [Caceda] and his Malden team played us very tough and tested our defense and gave our midfi eld a hard time,” Revere coach Megan O’Donnell said. “They were the fi rst team to get multiple shots on net and tested our integrity. Our team didn’t play their best due to injuries and a team bug that’s going around. We had a few opportunities in the fi rst half to score but we couldn’t fi nish.” The Patriots scored the lone goal of the game with about eight minutes left when Erika Mejia and Samarah Paiva got the ball out of the middle and down the sideline to Catalina Chizavo, who then put the ball through to Nataly Oliva. Oliva took the ball to the corner of the box and scored to the bottom right of the goalie. Kesley Morales, Fatima Oliva, Giselle Salvador and Emily Torres held Malden to four shots on net, and Nisrin Sekkat made some great saves and is fi nding her way in goal. The midfi eld, which was controlled by Sandra Torres, Paiva, Erika Mejia and Chizavo, played hard and took many hard hits from Malden, but they were able to move the ball upfi eld to give teammates chances to score multiple times during the game. The junior varsity team finished with a 3-3 tie against Malden with Ikram Bichia scoring two goals and freshman Sarah Grandos scoring her fi rst career goal. Ajsi Balla and Andrea Mendieta had their best games. Somerville was a dog fight that ended in a 1-1 tie. Ari Pina scored the lone goal on a free kick, and Fatima Oliva and Sekkat had the defensive on lock. Revere field hockey team falls in competitive matches Revere fell to Saugus, 3-1, with the goal scored by Danni Randall and assisted by Matthew Terrell. That came after a 3-2 loss to Ursuline Academy. The Patriots had a strong fi rst quarter, with goals being scored by Bella Stamatopoulos and Isabella Mendieta (assist by Randall). Revere fell to Peabody, 3-2. “Despite losing by one, it was the best game Revere field hockey has played all season,” Revere coach Alex Butler said. “The team played hard all four quarters, and had multiple offensive corners, one of which led to a goal.” The fi rst goal was scored by Isabella Mendieta with an assist from Terrell. The second goal was scored by Terrell. “Sonia Haily did an amazing job in goal and had great support on defense from Ava Morris and Briana Mendieta,” said Butler, a Peabody field hockey alumna (Class of 2013). “The team did an amazing job of hitting hard, playing the ball wide and hustling the entire game. Peabody is a really tough team, and our team defi nitely held our own all four quarters.” Revere/Malden golf team goes two matches without loss On Thursday, Sept. 28, the Revere/Malden golf team competed to a 36-36 tie against Somerville at Stoneham Oaks. This tie gave the team a 4-11 record on the season.

Just Turned 65 Dear Just Turned, There are actually three different types of vaccines seniors should consider getting this fall to protect against a repeat of last winter’s “tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, which included fl u, RSV and coronavirus. Here’s a rundown of the diff erent vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending and how they are covered by Medicare. Senior-Specifi c Flu Shots For people age 65 and older, there are three fl u vaccines (you only need one) that the CDC recommends over traditional flu shots. These FDA-approved vaccines provide extra protection beyond what a standard flu shot does, which is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a greater risk of developing dangerous fl u complications compared with younger, healthy adults. The three senior-specifi c options include the: • Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular fl u shot does, creating a stronger immune response for better protection. • Fluad Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. • FluBlok Quadrivalent vaccine, is a recombinant protein (egg-free) fl u vaccine that contains three times the amount of antigen as compared with a regular fl u shot. There isn’t enough evidence Lea Doucette and Samantha Hoyos Tobon celebrate after taking the lead during the second set. Liv Yuong with the serve for Revere. yet to indicate whether one of these three vaccines provides superior protection over the other two for seniors. As for side eff ects, you should know that the Fluzone High-Dose and Fluad vaccines can cause more of the mild side eff ects that can occur with a standard-dose fl u shot, like pain or tenderness where you got the shot, muscle aches, headache or fatigue. While the side eff ects of Flublok tend to be a little less frequent. All fl u vaccines are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays. New RSV Vaccines Anyone age 60 and older, especially if you have any heart or lung conditions, diabetes, kidney or liver disorders that make you vulnerable to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) should consider getting one of the new FDA approved RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or Abrysvo). These vaccines, recommended by the CDC, will help protect older and immunocompromised adults from respiratory illness, which is responsible for 6,000 to 10,000 deaths and at least 60,000 hospitalizations each year in seniors 65 and older. The new RSV vaccines are covered by Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plans. Updated Covid Booster If you haven’t had a Covid-19 booster shot lately, you should consider getting one this fall. Even though the Covid public health emergency has ended and the number of cases has gone way down, it has been surging in recent months causing an increase in hospitalizations, especially among the elderly. The updated Covid vaccine targets the XBB omicron subvariants that are some of the most dominate coronavirus variants circulating in the U.S. It will also provide protection against the EG.5 variant (Eris), which is closely related to the XBB. Covid booster shots are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B. When and Where Most health offi cials agree that it’s safe to receive the fl u and Covid booster at the same time. But because the RSV vaccines are new this year, many doctors are recommending a two-week window between an RSV shot and the fl u and/or the COVID shots. You can fi nd all three vaccines at most pharmacies, medical clinics and health departments, or you can do a search at Vaccines.gov.

LEGISLATURE APPROVES TAX RELIEF PACKAGE (H 4104) House 155-1, Senate 38-1, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey the conference committee version of a tax relief package. It was drafted as a compromise to the diff erent versions approved by the House and Senate. Supporters say this will provide $561.3 million in tax relief in fi scal year 2024 and $1.02 billion per year in subsequent years. Provisions include increasing the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $4,000; reducing the estate tax for all taxpayers and eliminating the tax for all estates under $2 million by allowing a uniform credit of $99,600; increasing the refundable tax credit for a dependent child, disabled adult or senior from $180 to $310 per dependent in taxable year 2023, and then to $440 in subsequent years while eliminating the child/ dependent cap; doubling the refundable senior circuit breaker tax credit from $1,200 to $2,400; increasing the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit from 30 percent to 40 percent of the federal credit; and reducing the shortterm capital gains tax rate from 12 percent to 8.5 percent. Other provisions double the lead paint tax credit to $3,000 for full abatement and $1,000 for partial abatement; ensure that employer student loan payments are not treated as taxable compensation; make public transit fares, as well as ferry and regional transit passes and bike commuter expenses, eligible for the commuter expense tax deduction; increase from $1,500 to $2,000 the maximum that municipalities may pay seniors to do volunteer work to reduce their property taxes; raise the annual authorization for the low income housing tax credit from $40 million to $60 million; and allow cities and towns to adopt a local property tax exemption for aff ordable real estate that is rente “This is the most significant tax relief package in a generation,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “This legislation is going to put real dollars into the pockets of the people who need it most, including parents, seniors, young people and middle class families who are struggling to keep up with rising costs. This bill includes a historic expansion of housing programs that will ignite aff ordable housing development and ease the housing crunch, as well as signifi cant relief for families with young children. It will also make Massachusetts a more competitive place to live and work and encourages businesses to continue investing in our region.” “This tax relief package strikes the critically important balance of providing permanent fi nancial relief to residents and businesses across Massachusetts, without compromising the long-term fi - nancial security of the commonwealth,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m confi - dent that this tax reform legislation will help to make Massachusetts more aff ordable for all residents, while also helping to make the commonwealth more competitive with other states.” “Back in April, I stood at the rostrum for about 13 minutes and expressed a mix of support for the many elements of this bill that will help working families and people experiencing poverty — while at the same time criticizing the elements of this bill that will benefit large corporations and the super-rich,” said Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge), the only House member to vote against the package. “From my vantage point, this bill was signifi cantly improved through the conference committee process, and there are several elements of the bill I enthusiastically support,” continued Connolly. “And yet, as I stand here today, I still cannot bring myself to support the total price tag of $1.1 billion once fully implemented. Not after we just spent a decade working to pass the Fair Share Amendment to gain desperately needed new revenue … A lot more needs to be done, including bigger public investments in programs, services and infrastructure — investments that could be signifi cantly constrained by the overall cost of today’s tax cut bill.” The measure also includes two provisions which the Mass Fiscal Alliance says will result in tax hikes. One would require Massachusetts married couples who fi le income tax returns jointly at the federal level to do the same at the state level. The other changes the system under Chapter 62F that requires that annual tax revenue above a certain amount collected by the state go back to the taxpayers. Under current law, the money is returned to taxpayers based on what he or she earned and paid in taxes. The new tax package changed that and provides that each taxpayer will receive a fl at rate refund, unrelated to what they earned or paid in taxes. “Never before have so many waited so long for so little,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “Leave it up to two career politicians to not only deliver a two-year late tax relief package while almost every other state saw immediate relief but include tax hikes in their relief package. The speaker and Senate president’s proposal includes a marriage penalty, applying the new income surtax to married couples who have a combined income of over a million dollars.” Craney further explained that changing how Chapter 62F surplus money is distributed to taxpayers actually hijacks the system and turns it into a socialist wealth redistribution scheme. (A “Yes” vote is for the tax relief package. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes Yes $1 MILLION FOR HEADSTART PROGRAMS (H 4040) House 156-0, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $1 million (reducing funding from $17.5 million to $16.5 million) in funding for grants to Head Start programs. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Healey in her veto message. “The adjusted funding level proposed here is consistent with the fi scal year 2023 General Appropriations Act and sustains signifi cant expansion to this lineitem in recent fi scal years.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $1 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $1.4 MILLION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION SERVICES (H 4040) House 154-0, overrode Gov.

Healy’s veto of $250,000 (reducing funding from $1.25 million to $1 million) in funding for prostate cancer research. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Healey in her veto message. “This will allow the program to continue its current level of services.” (A “Yes” vote is for $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $250,000 FOR PARENT-CHILD PLUS PROGRAM (H 4040) House 131-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $250,000 (reducing funding from $4,250,000 to $4,000,000) in funding for the Parent-Child Plus Program. According to its website, “The goals of this intensive, evidence-based home visiting model are to promote school readiness and academic success by strengthening parent-child verbal interaction and reading and play activities in the home.” “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Healey in her veto message. “The adjusted funding level proposed here is consistent with the fi scal year 2023 General Appropriations Act and sustains signifi cant expansion to this lineitem in recent fi scal years.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $880,000 FOR MASSACHUSETTS SERVICE ALLIANCE (H 4040) House 130-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $880,000 (reducing funding from $2,280,000 to $1,400,000) in funding for the Massachusetts Service Alliance. According to its website, the Massachusetts Service Alliance is a “private, nonprofi t … organization, established in 1991, that expands volunteerism and service in Massachusetts. It provides funding, training and support to individuals and organizations, enabling them to tackle pressing issues, strengthen communities, and make our commonwealth a better place to live.” “I am vetoing this item because it is not consistent with my House [budget] … recommendation,” said Healey in her veto message. “This is a passthrough and will not impact core Executive Offi ce of Labor and Workforce Development programming.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $880,000 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes SUSPEND RULES TO ALLOW AMENDMENTS TO TAX PACKAGE (H 4104) Senate 3-33, voting along party lines, rejected a motion to suspend the Senate rule that prohibits amendments from being proposed to the conference committee version of the tax package. Republicans supported rule suspension while Democrats opposed it. Supporters of rule suspension said Senate rules allow only a Yes or No vote on the tax package. They argued there are some fl aws in the bill and that rule suspension is the only way to allow amendments to be proposed. Opponents of rule suspension said that suspending the rule would result in hundreds of amendments being proposed to the package and lead to starting tax relief debate all over again. They noted that both Republican members of the conference committee signed off on the bill. (A “Yes” vote is for rule suspension to allow amendments. A “No” vote is against rule suspension.) Sen.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023 Page 19 COUNCIL | FROM Page 1 “This is concerning; it’s a rare occasion and I don’t understand why it’s being sent back as a veto,” said Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro, who added that this is the only council motion that has come back as a veto and there was no one at the meeting to explain it. “It just doesn’t sit right with me.” Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri also said he didn’t understand the reasoning behind the veto. “If we vote to overturn it, he’ll veto it again and we’ll play political volleyball back and forth,” said Silvestri. “That’s politics.” According to Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo, an acting mayor can only hire and appoint on a temporary or emergency basis. “That wasn’t the case here and that’s what was troubling the council. You can’t abuse your position,” said Rizzo. Massachusetts General Laws says acting mayors possess the powers of mayor only in matters not admitting of delay but shall have no power to make permanent appointments and no power of veto. But Revere operates under a special act approved by the Massachusetts Legislature in 2004 concerning vacancies in the mayor’s offi ce, on the city council and the school committee. The act, like the law, gives the acting mayor power to deal with matters not admitting delay but says he or she has no power to make permanent appointments. It says nothing about vetoes. City Solicitor Paul Capizzi, who said he wholeheartedly agrees with Keefe’s right to veto the council motion, sent councillors a detailed memo on the powers and duties of an acting mayor prior to their vote to override Keefe’s veto. “In my opinion, hiring employees to carry out the day-to-day responsibilities for running a city is legally and functionally distinct from makto department heads and other specifi c senior level positions or to serve on a multi-member policy making body.” Councillors conceded the disagreement with Keefe was a moot point with the General Election just a few weeks away. Still, Rizzo said it was important to show their disagreement with Keefe. Zambuto agreed and said ANTHONY ZAMBUTO Councillor-at-Large ing permanent appointments as referenced in the charter,” wrote Capizzi. “In my opinion, therefore, the acting mayor may, during the time he serves, hire staff as needed, subject to appropriation of course, but may not make permanent appointments the council’s legal opinion on the matter was from one of the best fi rms in the state. “We believe our opinion was the right one,” he said. “The bottom line is we made a statement. So, we’re back at square one. This was a separation of powers action. The people will decide.” Zambuto went on to say this that type of situation shouldn’t continue. “We can’t have an acting Mayor for this length of time. It’s unheard of and it won’t happen again. That’s why I’m here.” ~ Help Wanted ~ MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN Tuesday - Saturday Combined Properties is a full-service investment and real        multi-family residential properties.

Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “However, due to high infl ation, the buying power of $15 has been significantly eroded, and it is estimated by the MIT Living Wage Calculator that a single person living in the Greater Boston area would need to earn more than $22 per hour just to cover the basic necessities of life --and far more to support a family. This is why we need to start phasing in another increase to the minimum wage in Massachusetts.” “We know that working families and individuals are under enormous fi nancial stress with rising infl ation and increased costs of housing and living,” said House sponsor Rep. Tram Nguyen (DAndover). ”As workers are struggling to meet their basic needs and provide for their families, I am glad to [fi le] this bill to provide fair wages in our commonwealth.” UNBIASED SUMMARIES IN CHILD REMOVAL CASES (H 182) - The Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities held a hearing on a proposal that would require the Department of Children and Families (DCF), when considering a child’s removal from his or her family, to establish a case review team that produces summaries that do not include demographic and identifying information such as gender, race, ethnicity, disability, geographic location and socioeconomic status.

ALLOW CITIES AND TOWNS TO IMPOSE A NEW 2 PERCENT ALCOHOL TAX (S 1773) – The Revenue Committee held a hearing on a bill that would allow cities and towns to impose a local sales tax of up to two percent on alcoholic beverages sold at retail, bars or at restaurants. Municipalities that choose to impose the local tax would be required to use the revenue generated for substance abuse prevention and for protecting the public health. “There is tremendous unmet need for substance use disorder treatment in every community in Massachusetts,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “This bill would enable interested cities and towns to expand their addiction and public health programming to meet that need.” $4 MILLION FOR SECURITY AT FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS - The Healey administration announced that more than $4 million in federal funds have been awarded to address priority security needs at faith-based and community service organizations at heightened risk of a hate crime or terror attack in the Bay State. “Communities rely on nonprofit and faith-based organizations for essential social services, spiritual support and guidance,” said Gov. Healey. “Our administration is deeply committed to ensuring these vital organizations have the tools and resources needed to create safe, inclusive and protected environments. These federal funds provide critical support to our nonprofi t and faith communities while strengthening Massachusetts’ ability to uphold our values and celebrate our diversity.” $5.2 MILLION FOR RECYCLING, COMPOSTING AND WASTE REDUCTION - The Healey Administration announced nearly $5.2 million in grant funding to 283 municipalities to bolster their recycling, composting and waste reduction programs. “Residents partner with their communities to help protect the environment by recycling and reusing as much as possible,” said REVERETV | FROM Page 21 weeks.

Kim Driscoll. “This important funding will help municipalities implement innovative programs and policies that are proven to maximize reuse, recycling and waste reduction.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “The Green Communities program helps our cities and towns make important investments at the local level to achieve their own climate goals and lower carbon emissions. This moves us forward on our clean energy path and lessens our reliance on volatile fossil fuels, lowering costs and risks for our communities and their residents and businesses.” --- Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Rebecca Tepper announcing the awarding of $3.3 million in Green Communities competitive grants to 27 municipalities across Massachusetts to fund clean energy projects. “We have taken meaningful strides in recent years to increase the sustainability and resilience of our state’s public transit system. From securing grants to fund environmental initiatives to reducing emissions through fl eet electrifi cation, the MBTA is fi rmly committed to building a greener, more climate-ready transit network.” --- MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng announcing the establishment of a new Climate and Resiliency Policy and Planning team as part of the Policy and Strategic Planning Division that will be tasked with decreasing the T’s and the commonwealth’s environmental footprint and increasing the resilience of the MBTA system. “The data is clear – based on state testing results we know there is lead in most of the taps tested at schools and childcare centers across the state and we know children are the most impacted from exposure to lead.

Signifi cant research demonstrates that deception can cause suspects to waive their rights and make false confessions. This leads to wrongful convictions and the incarceration of innocent persons, the denial of justice to victims and ongoing risks to public safety. It is time to end a practice that undermines the eff ectiveness of our criminal justice system.” ---Sponsor Rep. Kate LipperGarabedian (D-Melrose) testifying before the Judiciary Committee on legislation that would prevent false confessions in Massachusetts by ending the use of deceptive interrogation tactics. 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. During the week of September 25-29, the House met for a total of eight hours and 23 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 53 minutes.

He stated,” We encouraged the Market Basket Supermarket to locate at the Northgate Shopping Center, reenergizing Northgate, and in the process creating 600 new private sector jobs which has benefi ted both our residents and local businesses.” Rizzo also noted “that one of the most disappointing occurrences of his administration, a number of years ago, was when Guinasso Rt 2014 Minkovitz, Sharon City Council’s failure to approve his recommendation to implement an Apartment Building Moratorium, which would have placed rigid controls on apartment development in the City of Revere, specifi cally regulating the number of new apartments that could be constructed, the required number of parking spaces needed for each apartment and the impact of apartment development on the city’s school system, public safety forces, traffi c congestion, and other related infrastructure impacts.” “The failure to adopt an Apartment Building Moratorium,” Rizzo stated, “has resulted in excessive uncontrolled overdevelopment and gridlocked traffi c congestion on our city streets.” With his strong leadership skills and proven dedication to Revere, Rizzo believes that he can make a major contribution to improving the City of Revere. “My vision for the City,” Rizzo said,” includes a continued investment in improving the city’s infrastructure, findSELLER2 ADDRESS Guinasso, Arthur F 500 Revere Beach Blvd #104 20 Chamberlain Ave ing ways to fi nance and build senior citizen aff ordable housing, working with State agencies to develop workable solutions to address our city’s and our region’s catastrophic traffi c problems, and accelerating a workable program to put in place a professionally managed emergency preparedness program to deal with our continuous fl ooding, which occurs in many areas of our community.” Further, Rizzo stressed, “We need to work to approve the construction of a fiscally responsible new high school that both our taxpayers and rent payers can aff ord, and we must assign a high priority to returning the Wonderland Dog Track site as a responsible, productive economic revenue generator for our city, which will help to ensure a more prosperous future for Revere.” Rizzo concluded by saying, “I believe that my experience, my passion, and my deep connection to our community will result in a renewed hope for a vibrant future for Revere.” 38 Main St. Saugus (781) 558-1091 20 Railroad Ave. Rockport (978)-999-5408 mangorealtyteam.com Commercial Listings Saugus - for sale 14 Norwood St. Everett (781)-558-1091 NEW LISTING - Stoneham - rental Saugus SPORT | FROM Page 17 Cronin in the 6-spot, a 5-4 win by Revere junior Jonathan Wells in the 5-spot and a 4.5-4.5 tie by Malden junior Chris MacDonald in the 2-spot. Additionally, Malden junior Bo Bogan participated in his fi rst match of the season in the 8-spot, winning his match 5.5-3.5, securing a tie. “This year has taught us time and time again that each half point is valuable as a total of one point separates us from having an undefeated season thus far,” Revere/Malden coach Brandon Pezzuto said. “However, the coaching staff believes that falling short is a great way to reinforce one of our core values, which is to be resilient and to complete for each and every point regardless of the overall score of your match.” On Monday Oct. 2, Revere/ Malden earned a victory by the slightest of margins in match play: 36.5-35.5 over Lynn English at Kelley Greens in Nahant. This improved the team’s record to 5-1-1 on the season, movDATE PRICE 09.12.23 315000 09.12.23 835000 ing it one step closer to a tournament bid. “Kelley Greens’ extremely challenging pin positions and lightning-fast greens posed a challenge for both teams in this match,” Pezzuto said. “The greens, being not well protected by bunkers and/ or water, rely on pin placement to challenge players to land approach shots in strategic locations or be penalized by diffi cult recovery shots or rejection from the green itself. The coaching staff observed on numerous occasions 8-10' downhill putts settling off the putting surface. Our team’s ball striking was excellent and much improved over the last 3-4 weeks but this match came down to in and around the greens.” Some highlights from the match are No. 1 MacDonald winning 5.5-3.5; No. 3 Matt LaCroix of Revere winning 5-4; No. 4 freshman Jacob Simonelli of Revere tying 4.5-4.5; No. 6 freshman Cronin winning 6-3; and senior captain Ryan Coggswell, of Malden, battling to the very end to tie his match, 4.5-4.5.
