CITY COUNCIL | SEE Page 3 Revere Fire Dept. receives $2.5 million FEMA grant to hire 12 firefighters Advocate Staff Report T his week FEMA awarded nearly $4 million in grant funding for fi re departments and other fi rst responder organizations in Massachusetts. Revere was the biggest recipient of the FEMA grants, with a $2.5 million award that will allow the Revere Fire Department to hire 12 new fi refi ghters. City and state leaders, as well as Senator Ed Markey, were on hand at the Revere Fire Headquarters on Monday afternoon to help celebrate the award. “These types of awards in communities like Revere do not go unnoticed,” said Mayor Patrick Keefe. “The Revere Fire Department will have the opportunity to add 12 fi refi ghters to its ranks, strengthening our capacity to respond quickly and eff ectively when residents need us most. Investments in public safety have always been a key priority of mine, and just in the past month, we are graduating 11 new fi refi ghters from the academy.” Keefe said the city has consistently sought to increase its ranks in the fire department. In recent years, with the FEMA SAFER grant and other grants, he said, the city has been able to reopen and fully staff its Point of Pines fi re station and increase staffi ng across the city. “You need all the help, you need the equipment, you need all the assistance that is possible,” Markey told the fi refi ghters. Markey thanked Revere Fire Chief James Cullen and the department for their dedication and commitment to public service. “You keep the community of Revere safe every single day, and that is why I am so excited to announce the $2.5 million in federal funding for the Revere Fire Department,” said Markey. “You are one of the very few communities in the country to receive this funding, because we know that you need it, and that Revere will use it in ways to keep this city safer.” Markey also thanked State Senator Lydia Edwards for her role in helping to secure the grant funding. Cullen said it was a monumental day for the city and the fi re department. “I am incredibly proud to stand before you and accept the Staffi ng for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response, or SAFER grant, as it is more commonly known,” said Cullen. “This funding is a true game changer for our department, directly translating into more fi refi ghters on the job every day, and enhanced safety for our members who serve the citizens of the city of Revere. An achievement like this does not happen in a vacuum; it takes immense dedication and advocacy, and we are profoundly grateful for the leadership that has made this possible.” Revere Fire Captain Kevin O’Hara said the support and advocacy of Keefe, Markey and Edwards is helping the department reach its staffi ng goals. “I am here not just to celebrate, but also to thank all of our hard workers in the Revere Fire Department,” said Edwards. “I want you to know that an investment of this size that adds to the personnel of this department isn’t just for Revere. I am keenly aware of the mutual aid that this department provides to the region, so investing here is also investing in helping out folks in Winthrop, Chelsea, and East Boston.”

These awards will enable agencies to get the equipment, staff and support they need to carry out their critical, life-saving missions. This new funding brings the total amount awarded to New England this year to more than $41 million. Nationwide, FEMA has awarded $648 million through its three fi re grant programs. ing to worry about their meter expiring. Guarino-Sawaya said one possibility would be to issue eligible seniors a placard identifying them as participants in the program. The city’s parking and planning departments could then determine how such a system would work through the proposed feasibility study. Planning and Community Development Chief Tom Skwierawski said conducting a study would be a reasonable fi rst step. He noted that “Firefi ghters and other fi rst responders are everyday heroes, helping their neighbors and communities when they need it most,” said FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton. “Through this grant funding, FEMA is building the capability of these local organizations to respond to disasters and emergencies. By empowering fire departments to get the staff , training and equipment they need, FEMA is strengthening the resilience of American communities nationwide.” neighboring Everett recently implemented a similar program and could provide Revere with useful information about its impact. “I think our peers next door in Everett just started doing this, and I think we are in many respects pretty similar with them in regard to population and percentage of seniors representing the total population,” Skwierawski said. He noted that Everett has more parking meters than Revere, making the comparison imperfect, but said the FEMA administered these new awards through its Staff - ing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant program. This week’s awards include more than $2.5 million to the City of Revere to hire 12 fi refi ghters. For information on all the awards issued this year, visit the fire grants programs webpages on FEMA.gov: Assistance to Firefi ghters Grants, Staffi ng for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response, and Fire Prevention and Safety. city could learn from Everett’s experience after the program has been in place for a year. Skwierawski also said Revere may benefi t from waiting before immediately adopting a new policy so offi cials can evaluate the impact of the relatively new 15-minute parking spaces on Broadway and Shirley Avenue. “If we were to have a year of that program under our belt and understand how it is affecting our revenues, and then in addition to that in that time, we could look at Everett and see how it is impacting their revenues … I think it is worth exploring,” Skwierawski said. He added that the city and Parking Department want to consider the concerns of senior residents while also examining the potential fi nancial and administrative issues involved in implementing the program. The feasibility study could provide the city with a clearer picture of how a senior parking program might operate and what impact it could have on parking revenue and local businesses. Lawrence A.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2026 Revere High senior expands free tutoring opportunities through Connect Me Student-led chapter pairs young learners with high school and college tutors while giving RHS students a fl exible way to earn community service hours Special to Th e Advocate W hen Revere High School senior Ejlal Mohammedsalih launched a local chapter of Connect Me last year, she saw an opportunity to address two needs at once: younger students looking for extra academic support and high school students searching for meaningful, fl exible ways to give back. Since then, the program has steadily grown, connecting students with free virtual tutoring while giving Revere High students a chance to earn community service hours, develop leadership skills and build confidence as mentors. Connect Me is an international nonprofi t organization that provides free virtual tutoring to students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Mohammedsalih established the Revere High chapter in March 2025 after recognizing that traditional volunteer opportunities do not always fi t into students’ busy schedules. “I felt like a lot of the high school students at Revere High wanted to earn community service hours, but for certain reasons they weren’t able to,” Mohammedsalih said. “Maybe they had stuff going on after school.” At the same time, she knew there were younger students who could benefit from additional academic support. Creating a Connect Me chapter at Ejlal Mohammedsalih RHS Senior RHS, she said, off ered a way to bring those two groups together. “Starting a chapter at my high school would allow students not only to get community service hours, but also the students that needed tutoring to get that,” she said. The model is designed to be simple and flexible. Tutoring takes place entirely through Zoom, typically for one hour each week. Rather than requiring tutors to be available at a specifi c time or location, students can arrange sessions around their own schedules. That flexibility has helped the RHS chapter grow. Mohammedsalih said the program began last year with about 20 participants and has since expanded to about 30 to 40, including about 20 tutors from Revere High School. Tutoring is not limited to one subject. Younger students indicate the subject and grade level in which they need assistance, and prospective tutors identify the areas in which they feel most comfortable helping. A middle school student seeking help in math, for example, can be matched with a tutor who has indicated that math is one of their strengths. The same approach can be used for science, history and other subjects, allowing the program to respond to the individual needs of each student. While the immediate goal is to provide academic assistance, Mohammedsalih said she has also watched the experience benefi t the students doing the tutoring. “I think it’s really cool just to see growth happen,” she said. “I’ve seen students — like the high school students that I work with — grow themselves through tutoring, like become more confi dent in themselves.” She said younger students have also benefited academically, with some seeing their grades improve after receiving tutoring. Although Mohammedsalih’s chapter is centered at Revere High School, Connect Me itself has a much broader reach. Tutors throughout the organization include high school and early college students, with participants located around the world. Now, Mohammedsalih hopes to make more Revere families aware that the resource is available. Her work establishing the RHS chapter has largely focused on recruiting high school students to serve as tutors. The next step is reaching more families at Revere’s elementary and middle schools whose children may need additional academic support. “I also do want to let the younger students in elementary schools and middle schools in Revere who need extra help be able to get this help through Connect Me,” she said. For families, one of the program’s most important features is its cost: There isn’t one. Mohammedsalih emphasized that Connect Me tutoring is completely free, removing a potential barrier for families who may want additional academic support for their children but cannot or do not want to pay for private tutoring. “It’s a completely free program, so it’s a really great opportunity and resource that I feel like a lot of students should take advantage of,” she said, particularly for students who need additional help beyond what they are able to receive during the school day. As a senior, Mohammedsalih is also thinking about what comes next — both for herself and for the program she built at Revere High. She plans to attend a fouryear college or university in Massachusetts and study biochemistry. Before graduating, however, she wants to ensure the RHS Connect Me chapter continues after she leaves. Mohammedsalih is already working with current chapter members to identify a sophomore or junior who could step into a leadership role and continue growing the program. That succession would allow the chapter to become an ongoing student-led resource at RHS — one in which older students help younger students succeed while gaining valuable experience themselves. For Mohammedsalih, that combination has been at the heart of Connect Me from the beginning: making tutoring more accessible for younger students while giving high school students a practical way to serve their community. RHS students interested in becoming tutors can learn more through the RHS Connect Me chapter. The program off ers fl exible scheduling, community service hours and leadership experience. Families of students in grades K-8 can also explore Connect Me as a free option for additional academic support.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2026 Page 5 RHS PATRIOTS SPORTS ROUNDUP Patriots roll past Chelsea behind dominant ground game; girls teams notch key wins By Dom Nicastro evere High’s football team got back to.500 in emphatic fashion with a road shutout of Chelsea, while the Patriots’ girls cross country team pulled out a one-point victory and girls soccer and volleyball each added wins during a busy week of fall action. Football Pats runs past Chelsea, 33-0 Revere needed a response, and the Patriots delivered one on both sides of the football. The Patriots went on the road and rolled past Chelsea, 33-0, behind a dominant rushing attack and a defense that kept the Red Devils off the scoreboard. The Patriots snapped a two-game losing streak. Jose Fuentes rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns, while Sergio Peguero was right behind him with 128 yards and two scores. Ismael Romero-Gonzalez added 80 yards and a touchdown as the trio combined for 339 rushing yards and all fi ve Revere touchdowns. The performance was especially encouraging considR ering the injuries Revere has dealt with during the early portion of the season. “Great bounce back especially considering all injuries,” Revere coach Lou Cicatelli said. “Boys were locked in and played a great game.” The defense did its part with the shutout. Elijah Kearns led the Patriots with eight tackles and fi ve assists. Cesar Herrara forced a fumble that David Cruz recovered, helping set up another Fuentes touchdown. “Ground game was great, and the defense played great in a shutout,” Cicatelli said. The victory evened Revere’s record at 2-2 and sends the Patriots into another road test Friday night against Everett. “Great to be 2-2 and looking forward to a very strong Everett team on Friday night in Everett,” Cicatelli said. Girls cross-country pulls out onepoint victory Every place mattered for the Revere girls cross country team in a razor-thin victory over Lynn Classical. The Patriots came away with a 27-28 win in a meet coach Katie Sinnott said required contributions throughout the lineup. Captain Emma DeCrosta nearly captured the individual victory, fi nishing second overall in 23:47 and missing fi rst place by only one second. Sinnott said DeCrosta started her fi nal kick just a little too late but is already motivated for another opportunity against the same competition at the league meet. Jaelyn Torres placed third in 29:34 and earned a personal best, while Tram Vu fi nished fourth in 31:10. Vu improved by more than a minute from the previous week despite not feeling 100%. Sinnott was particularly impressed with Vu’s willingness to push through the race with the meet hanging in the balance. Dakota Hernandez also delivered a huge improvement, placing eighth in 34:46 after cutting fi ve minutes from her previous week’s time. “That is an epic improvement in just the span of one week,” Sinnott said. Rania Abboud fi nished 10th in 38:07, followed immediately by Kayla Men in 11th at 38:08. Revere closes its home schedule against Lynn English Is Your Estate in Order?

Sofi a Correa Muriel scored off an assist from Amy Lopez in the victory, while Emily Torres scored twice unassisted. Lopez added a goal of her own to complete the scoring. Coach Ariana Rivera called it a “great Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law team win” and praised the effort throughout the lineup. The Patriots then fell to Everett, 3-1. Bella Coral scored Revere’s goal off a corner kick. Rivera felt her team played aggressively and created plenty of opportunities, particularly through the midfi eld, but could not convert enough of those chances. Revere closed the stretch with a 5-1 loss to Winthrop. Torres scored an unassisted goal for the Patriots.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2026 Page 7 Rumney Marsh tour showcases restoration along abandoned highway in Saugus (Editor’s Note: The following info is from an article submitted by the Rumney Marsh Conservancy highlighting the group’s tour last weekend in Saugus.) R umney Marsh Conservancy brought the public onto the abandoned Interstate 95 embankment on Oct. 3 for a free public tour exploring the highway’s history, decades of salt marsh restoration and possibilities for the marsh’s future. “When Rumney Marsh was designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern in 1988, removing the embankment was a clearly stated goal,” said Matt Hallihan, the Conservancy’s founder and president. “Restoration isn’t just theoretical. It’s already happened here. We wanted people to see the results fi rsthand and understand why that progress should continue.” Participants listen as retired EPA scientist Ed Reiner discusses salt marsh restoration during Rumney Marsh Conservancy’s public tour of the former I-95 embankment in Saugus on Oct. 3. (Courtesy photo of Rumney Marsh Conservancy) Built in the late 1960s for a highway abandoned in 1972, the embankment still cuts through Rumney Marsh. Large sections have been removed to restore salt marsh, but substantial portions remain. To the Conservancy’s knowledge, this was the fi rst public tour devoted specifically to showcasing the completed restoration areas along the abandoned I-95 embankment, bringing decades of progress into public view. The tour was led by Ed Reiner, who retired from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2025 after nearly 50 years. Now a volunteer environmental advisor to the Conservancy, Reiner spent decades advocating for Rumney Marsh restoration and brought fi rsthand knowledge of the projects and decisions that shaped the landscape. Participants used restoration map brochures to connect the sites along the route with the broader marsh. Reiner discussed areas where highway fi ll has been removed and explained why understanding tidal movement is essential to evaluating future restoration. The tour drew curious residents, local ecologists and regulators, including longtime Saugus residents visiting the marsh for the fi rst time. The Conservancy plans to build on that community interest through public education, stewardship, monitoring and advocacy. Rumney Marsh Conservancy is a nonprofi t organization dedicated to protecting, restoring, monitoring and advocating for Rumney Marsh and educating the public about its ecological and historical importance. Its work focuses on the Rumney Marsh Area of Critical Environmental Concern in Revere, Saugus and Lynn. Learn more at rumneymarshma.org.
