The Commonwealth, through its Department of Transportation (MassDOT), owns vacant property located along 1A that could be used to reduce pollution and traffi c, improve public safety and mitigate community impacts given the Revere’s proximity to Logan International Airport. The resolution calls on the Governor and the Secretary of Transportation of the Commonwealth to request the following: that the vacant land be repurposed, that a haul road extension from the current end of the Coughlin Bypass be constructed to the vicinity of Bell Circle, that a pedestrian walkway and bike path along the waterfront to be created to allow the public to have increased access to the Chelsea Creek waterfront and that barriers and sea walls be constructed to protect Revere against rising sea levels. “I am confi dent that this project will improve the quality of life for the residents of Revere and for those passing through,” said Mayor Arrigo. “The airport being so close to Revere means that our residents are disproFree Every Friday 781-286-8500 Friday, November 11, 2022 Revere votes Healey for Governor, ‘yes’ on 3 of 4 ballot questions By Victoria DeVita T his year the city of Revere saw over 11,143 of the 30,564 registered voters cast their votes in the statewide election on Tuesday.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 Introducing Lauren Buck in her New Position as Chief of Health and Human Services A drienne Sacco-Maguire Starts New Role as Emergency Preparedness Manager, Following Career as Nurse at Revere Public Schools REVERE – Residents may remember Lauren Buck for her role as Director of Public Health throughout the COVID pandemic. In September of 2022, Lauren Buck was voted unanimously in her promotion as Chief of Health and Human Services. As the Chief of Health and Human Services, Buck is responsible for directly supporting 8 departments and commissions including Elderly Services, the Department of Public Health, Community Health and Engagement, SUDHI, Veterans Services, Consumer Aff airs, the Human Rights Commission, and the North Suffolk Public Health Collaborative. The chief position is responsible for managing over 40 full time and part time employees and managing nearly $4 million dollars annually in revenues and expenses over all HHS departments. Lauren will be the third to serve as the Chief of Health and Human Services for the City of Revere, following Kim Hanton who now serves as Mayor Arrigo’s Chief of Staff and Dr. Nathalee Kong. The Emergency Preparedness Manager is a new role in Health and Human Services – and Adrienne Sacco-Maguire, active community member and Beachmont resident, has already started getting to work in this role at the Board of Health. The Mayor’s Office sat down with Chief Buck and Adrienne Sacco-Maguire to learn more about their vision for the department and the importance of the new emergency position. INTERVIEWER: Lauren, what do you see as your priorities as Chief of Health and Human Services? BUCK: In the past I feel like the public health department has kind of been like siloed off of, you know, City Hall. Public Health wasn't really in integral, but now, especially now that Covid happened it touches on evAdrienne Sacco-Maguire, left, and Lauren Buck erything. I think in general the goal of the Public Health Department over the next couple years is just to continue building relationships that we've built over Covid. The important aspect is to continue being eff ective in communication and getting word our to the community. I don’t think anyone has cracked the code on it just yet, but it’s an important aspect of our work and something we’re always trying to improve. The relationships we’ve built over Covid was important and connected us with departments we wouldn’t normally work with. For example, we continue to work with Donny in Water and Sewer with wastewater studies, and we are constantly reaching out to the Department of Planning and Community Development for all things housing. In a sense, it was important Covid happened because it made other departments realize we are here, and we’re ready to work in whatever capacity that holds. Because Health and Human services are, at its’ simplest form, integral to every department in the City of Revere. I think there are overarching issues that all departments deal with… Housing and homelessness is one of them. It’s something that touches Veterans Affairs, Elder Aff airs, Community Outreach, and SUDHI. It’s just getting us all to be working together and knowledgeable about what each department's doing on those big issues so we can be more eff ective. It’s a matter of bringing Public Health to the forefront of the issues we’re facing in Revere, and asking “how can we be a part of this?” More often than not, it’s important to have Health and Human Services at the table for a variety of reasons, and that’s something I don’t think we connected to prior to COVID. INTERVIEWER: What is your new role as Emergency Preparedness Manager? Why is this position so important? MAGUIRE: The position certainly came out of seeing the need for more coordination with emergency services. Emergencies always happened and maybe we could have been more prepared for some of them, but what that showed us was that it’s clear there needed to be more communication with diff erent departments like Fire and Police and SUDHI and Liaisons to have a more coordinated effort with solutions. The role is important because if there is an emergency like a fi re, or even a pandemic, you know who to call. It can be for things as big as a pandemic, but it can also be a really hot summer day or cold winter. Emergencies are inevitable. But being prepared for them can, in turn, lessen the diffi culty they bring on our city. INTERVIEWER: Adrienne, NURSE | SEE Page 17

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 2022 MYSTIC RIVER HERRING RUN LARGEST IN THE STATE MYSTIC RIVER HERRING RUN 2022: 425,000+ A ccording to the offi cial estimate from the Division of Marine Fisheries (Mass DMF), more than 425,000 river herring passed through the fi sh ladder at the Mystic Lakes Dam in Medford in 2022, and an additional 20,000 passed into Horn Pond. This the highest documented herring run this year in any river in Massachusetts! River herring — Alewife and Blueback herring — are migratory species that spend most of their lives in the open ocean, but return to freshwater every year to spawn in the river system they were born in. They are threatened by overharvesting in the ocean and — crucially — by the loss of inland habitat for breeding caused by dams blocking access to inland lakes and streams. The recent count represents the latest chapter in an ecological restoration success story that has included the installation of multiple fi sh passages on the river resulting in a sharply rebounding population of river herring in the Mystic River. HER R ING NUMBERS IN CONTEXT This year’s total is a bit lower than last year’s estimate but consistent with the sense that the Mystic population remains robust. (Fish populations fl uctuate over time for multiple reasons). Often the Mystic is among the largest documented herring runs in the state, but this year it was the largest. This is both remarkable and a sign of some less positive changes elsewhere. It is remarkable because one might not expect the largest herring population in the state to be one that has to run the urban gauntlet of Boston Harbor and the Amelia Earhart Dam — not to mention the Mystic Lakes Dam — to get to their breeding grounds. Usually, the largest runs in Massachusetts are on rivers with relatively unobstructed streams and protected estuaries like the Herring River in Wellfl eet on Cape Cod Bay. But this year, numbers from herring counts from other usually high-count Massachusetts sites were notably lower than last year. The Herring River count, for instance, was 290,000, after counts of over 1,000,000 as recently as 2019. As Ben Gahagan of the Division of Marine Fisheries says, “Indeed it was a bad year across most of southern New England.” Similar patterns were seen in Rhode Island and Connecticut. “On the other hand,” Gahagan adds, “Maine had record runs and New Hampshire was actually pretty decent." That is, there may be some phenomenon at work disproportionately aff ecting southern populations in recent years. Multiple causes may Lakes Dam in Medford was built in 2012 — allowing fi sh in the Mystic River to reach Upper Mystic Lake for the fi rst time in decades. At that time, the Mystic River Watershed Association launched a volunteer herring count in collaboration with Mass DMF. Dozens of volunteers annually visit the dam to make 10-minute sampling counts of fi sh passing into Upper Mystic Lake every daylight hour from be at work, and state scientists say it is too soon to point to a single reason. One major factor in reducing Massachusetts herring populations in recent years might be the droughts the area has experienced. In many river systems, droughts late in the summer can prevent juvenile migration back to the ocean by drying up streams, reducing productivity in the population in a way that is seen years later in the fi sh counts of returning adults. The Mystic system may be relatively immune from this eff ect, at least currently. There are fewer dead ends for fi sh to end up in, even in relatively severe drought. MORE ON THE ECOLOGICAL SUCCESS STORY A fish ladder at the Mystic April to June, and the data are used to estimate the total number of fi sh passing through the fi sh ladder. In the fi rst year, an estimated 200,000+ fi sh passed through the dam, based on data generated by volunteer counters. But river herring fi rst return to freshwater to reproduce only at age 3 or 4, when they are sexually mature. When the fi rst cohort of fi sh born in the newly expanded freshwater habitat reached reproductive age and returned for the fi rst time to Mystic Lakes in 2015, volunteer counts showed that the population of fi sh loyal to the Mystic River had doubled (Figure 1). And numbers continued to climb over the next few FISH | SEE Page 15
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 Page 5 Carlo DeMaria, Jr. vs. Everett Leader Herald, Sergio Cornelio, Joshua Resnek, Matthew Philbin and Andrew Philbin, Sr. Fabrications, lies and depravity, etc. The Leader Herald Publisher in his own words By James Mitchell (Editor’s Note: This story was published in the Everett Advocate on Sept. 9, 2022) It’s not who you know Despite his relationships with well-known publishers, journalists and sculptors, the Everett Leader Herald’s publisher/reporter/editor Josh Resnek just can’t help himself. The shameless self-promoter and wordsmith that he believes he is, claiming to be inspired by such literary masters from Tolstoy to Kerouac, is being crushed by his own words thanks to his emails turned over as evidence during his fourth videotaped deposition on Sept. 1 at the Boston law offi ces. Resnek’s own ego would reveal himself to be nothing more than a snake oil salesman who brags about alleged money laundering and bragging about violating women. In his May 5, 2021, email leading up to the primary, Resnek boasts to former Tab newspaper founder Russel Pergament about how he will run Mayor Carlo DeMaria out of offi ce. In the email, marked Exhibit 49, Resnek describes his day to Pergament, saying how he will meet “a friend of one of the two people running against the mayor” at the Sunrise Café on Main Street for breakfast, to pick up $2,000 in cash. Resnek writes, “I will treat him to breakfast and he will invite me out to his car (Mercedes). He will open the trunk and point and I will reach into the trunk and taker [sic] a very beautiful ‘package,’ a thick almost heavy envelope licked shut with $2,000 in $20 dollar bills stacked neatly inside. A very nice morning, I will do this every week until the September primary to aid his man in winning.” In his reply, Pergament warns Resnek: “As to your funding, I’d be inclined to declare it as income to save yourself any bullshit down the road or - raise the question of their reporting campaign dispersements, so I step aside let you fi gure it all out.” In an April 29, 2021, email to Pergament about his latest edition attacking the mayor, Resnek describes his funding for his door-to-door distribution thanks to a Capone supporter. “I get an extra $1600 bucks from a Capone ally twice a month to distribute the paper all over the city. I am picking up the c-notes this morning in Everett,” states Resnek. But during testimony, Resnek claimed that the events never happened, blaming it all on hyperbole – calling it total fabrication. Resnek was then asked by the mayor’s attorney Jeff rey Robbins about an email describing former councillor and mayoral challenger Fred Capone bragging to Pergament that Capone had put up $20,000 for Resnek to deliver the newspapers door to door two weeks until the primary. Resnek claimed it never happened although he and Capone discussed certain things about how much he could spend. “His campaign would pay to do that. It never happened,” stated Resnek. When pressed by Robbins about the true nature of his discussion with the candidate, Resnek stated that he needed $17,000 to continue publishing the paper. In a July 21, 2021, email, Resnek waxes poetic with Pergament, who appears to be infatuated with the latest Leader-Herald editions about the mayor, telling him that he’s challenging the climate with his reporting. Ironically, Resnek replies, “climate change is diffi cult.” Resnek then offers Pergament a glimpse of his life as the most dazzling newspaper reporter in the world describing his attendance at a Capone campaign fundraiser in Malden – believing he would be sorely disappointed at the turnout but describes the possible payoff by his attendance. “The crowd proved his candidacy is real. He [Capone] also raised about $25,000. While I was there, I did some Pergament style ass kissing in the room with two of the wealthiest men in Everett and got $5,000 commitments from each of them for the next six weeks. I’ve got some bombs coming, one a week for about four weeks and ending with an atomic bomb. This takes a lot of my time and energy at a time when I’d rather be free to do exactly as I like - but what the f#@k - what else am I going to do with my life? A lot! This eff ort is after all fun and easy. Takes me two days to get the paper ready and then three hours to deliver it 10,000 times with my delivery crew. Voila! As my mentor Mr. [Andrew] Quigley used to say to me: ‘It is idiot’s work, Josh. And you’re thoroughly qualifi ed!’” But Resnek takes his ego to the next level in an April 22, 2021, email, after Pergament questions Capone’s chances against the mayor. Resnek goes to work, telling his electronic pen pal that Capone has plenty of money, that Capone and his wife are “lifelong Italian people.” “He just put up $20,000 for me to deliver the paper door to door every two weeks until the primary,” states Resnek. “The other guy can’t beat my messaging citywide. Better yet, I believe the Black woman will be running. I think she can win! With both of them running into a September primary, the mayor gets bounced. He can’t survive a two front war with me as the battlefi eld general.” As is Resnek’s track record, he couldn’t have been more wrong post primary day. During the Sept. 1 deposition, Resnek denied taking any money from anyone – that if he did take in any cash, he would report it to his employer to deposit into the newspaper’s Rockland Trust bank account. Resnek admitted to approaching the two challengers in the mayoral race for advertising money as well as approaching about 30 supporters of the candidates in 2021 in his depositions. When asked for some names of the supporters, Resnek stated he couldn’t recall a single one – as if he was being grilled by a detective. “I’m asking you under oath, said Atty. Robbins, “is it your testimony you can’t recall a single individual that you approached for funding in 2021 in the last 10 weeks before the primary? “For advertising? asked Resnek. “Yes,” replied the attorney. “For advertising revenues? Yes,” says Resnek. In another revealing email to his employer, Matthew Philbin, Resnek sends a proposal marked “For Internal Use Only – Seven Weeks Until the Primary.” Resnek describes a budget needed to print and deliver 10,700 newspapers door to door from August 4 through September 15, for a total of $15,500 at $1,200 per week. Resnek tells Philbin in the email to expect revenue to Dorchester Publications, LLC, $16,000 from Mr. A and Mr. B for $5,000 each; and Mr. C for $6,000.

He can’t and won’t answer it.” But the most disturbing evidence to appear during the deposition was an email thread between Resnek and his sculptor pal, Douglas Abdell. Resnek – who admitted to writing libelous stories in his Blue Suit columns falsely accusing the mayor of sexual assault – takes pleasure in describing his relationship with women harking back to Chelsea in 1980 in appalling detail. In an email dated Sat., April 17, 2021, Resnek replies to Abdell: “As to the story about that hot woman in Florence...and what might have been, l take you to 1980 Chelsea, where Arnie (Jarmak) and I are trying to f#@k every woman in the city as our ambition. This was when we owned the bar, the Beacon Cafe and turned it into the hottest spot in the decadent city. Arnie met a woman who repaired typewriters who he invited to the Chelsea Record to keep our typewriters in shape. Her name was Carol (last name redacted). In quick succession we both f#@ ked her. Arnie f@#ked her in his apartment on the lower end of Broadway. When she was finished she came down stairs and she f@#ked me. It was wonderful. She f@#ked like an animal. The moment she was penetrated she grunted and threw her head back. Then she’d rock back and forth on the bed until she erupted - and then she’d collapse into a shambles of a woman satiated for that moment. She’d put her clothes back on and that was it. This went on for quite some time. During this time, Arnie and I began f#@king her sister, Elaine, who stayed with friends in Winthrop in an oceanfront home. There were days when Amie and I f@#ked both of them and then partied at night, f@#king other women, and then we both had girlfriends. For a long while, we were f@#king three to four women a day - not every day, mind you - but a lot. My high point was four in one day, my girlfriend, the two sisters and a friend of the sisters who came in from Albany. Anyway...Carol the typewriter girl came up pregnant. She informed Amie and I of this. Of course we kept f@#king her almost daily until she had to do something as she didn’t want her boyfriend who she was living with to fi nd out. We all decided - Carol, Arnie and l to pay one third each, which is to say, Amie and I paid for 2/3 of her abortion. OK. I’ll leave you with that for now. The things Arnie and I did with women would all be considered sex crimes today or at the very least civil rights violations.

My oldest graduata woman who didn’t want to copulate. EVER. Who’d believe us!” But Resnek’s morals couldn’t sink any lower when he attempted and failed to pass along a manuscript about the Wynn Casino land deal, writing fi ctitiously about the mayor and his wife. Resnek also met with billionaire developer Joseph O’Donnell, claiming to take meetings with the former Everett resident in an attempt to help him with his lawsuit he fi led on behalf of Suffolk Downs against Steve Wynn and the Mass. Gaming Commission over the awarding of the Class A license to Wynn Resorts. O’Donnell was part of the group backing Mohegan Sun at Suffolk Downs, which claimed irregularities over the sale of the Everett land to Wynn. Resnek, in a May 4, 2019 email to Pergament about his relationship with O’Donnell, states, “I owe him my life – and I do some work for him.” He states in the email that O’Donnell is his “billionaire buddy from Everett” who got his kid into Harvard and is helping him and a friend get their book sold. Resnek must have been a big help as the Gaming Commission sided with Wynn.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 Page 11 What Parents Need to Know to Guide Their Young Adults Toward Successful Careers N ew York, November 10, 2022 — On the surface, the future looks bright for spring’s college grads, with employers planning to hire nearly 15% more candidates from the class of 2023 than in the previous year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Dig a little deeper, however, and the outlook gets murkier, cautions career coach Beth Hendler-Grunt. “College graduates struggle to fi nd jobs due to competition, lack of work experience and not understanding employer expectations,” she said. “And their parents are frustrated. They want to help, and they’re not sure how. Many parents haven’t looked for a job in over 20-plus years, and things have defi nitely changed in that time.” How can parents help? What should grads do? Hendler-Grunt’s new book, The Next Great Step: The Parents' Guide to Launching Your New Grad Into a Career, gives parents a simple, step-by-step plan for successfully guiding their young adults through the transition from college to career. Filled with tips, job aids and insightful stories, The Next Great Step addresses everything from how parents can help their young adults get “unstuck” and navigate the hiring process, to how students and grads can stand out from the rest of the graduating class. Hendler-Grunt shares the secrets of how to “network” the right way and excel in interviews, and how parents can off er solid career advice to their grad. The Next Great Step provides insights from three key perspectives: the concerns of the parent, the thought process of the student and the expectations of potential employers. “Navigating the post-college job world is all about developing and implementing the right strategies,” Hendler-Grunt said. “This book is required reading for families looking to navigate a changing world from college to career. Companies need new grads. It’s just a matter of connecting the dots.” About the Author Beth Hendler-Grunt is the founder and president of Next Great Step. She is a dynamic leader, advisor and facilitator who has extensive experience consulting with startups, Fortune 500 fi rms, universities and individuals. She founded Next Great Step with the sole focus of guiding college students and recent grads to help them land the job they deserve. HendlerGrunt leverages techniques and BBB Tip: avoiding job scams this holiday season R etailers and shippers traditionally hire seasonal workers to fulfi ll holiday shoppers’ demands, whether online or in person. These jobs are a great way to make extra money, sometimes with the possibility of turning into a longterm employment opportunity. However, they are sometimes not all that they seem. When looking for something part-time or to fi ll the gap until a better opportunity comes along, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has some suggestions to make the seasonal job hunt successful. Being proactive in fi nding the right opportunity is key – but be careful when a job just seems too good to be true. Tips to avoid holiday job scams • Employers will never ask for payment upfront for a job. Beware of businesses that ask applicants to pay for job supplies, an application or a training fee. These expenses are the employer’s responsibility – and asking for money is a big red fl ag that something is wrong. • Be wary of job offers that don’t require an interview.Even during the peak hiring season, reputable companies prefer to talk to top job candidates before hiring them. If a job off er is presented without an interview (on the phone or in person) or is off ered only via the internet, question the company’s hiring practices and do a little more digging.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 Page 15 FISH | FROM Page 4 years to an estimate of as many as 780,000 fi sh in 2019. This is a huge success story: the single simple fish ladder at Mystic Lakes doubled — and even tripled — a significant wildlife population. For a sense of scale: 500,000 of these foot-long fi sh end-to-end would stretch 100 miles! NEXT STOP: HORN POND Volunteer fi sh counters also monitored fish entering the next big lake upstream in the Mystic River watershed: Horn Pond in Woburn. Currently the Scalley Dam at Horn Pond mainly blocks fi sh passage into the lake, although a small percentage of fi sh who arrive make it up a small cascading stream that goes around the dam when water levels are high enough. The estimated number of fi sh able to enter Horn Pond this year, based on volunteer counts, was approximately 20,000. Many more fi sh were seen at the base of the dam, most of which presumably turned back downstream. The good news is that money from two federal environmental damages settlements — including from famous Superfund cases in Woburn — will bring millions of dollars of investment in building a fi sh ladder at Horn Pond. The City of Woburn is also investing in this project, expected to be completed in the next few years. Fisheries scientists believe this will expand the population of river herring in the Mystic system even further. Horn Pond will also likely be a place where the general public will be able to view this migration directly. "Woburn has proposed expansive improvements to the park area to integrate the ladder and viewing opportunities for the public,” says DMF’s Ben Gahagan. “I think all parties see public engagement as integral to long term success." GET INVOLVED W ill the Mystic herring run reach a million fi sh? Will the Mystic continue to lead the state in herring populations? Stay tuned for more data from a remarkable urban wildlife migration. In the meantime, keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities to participate in our in-person and video counting programs. Registration to be a herring monitor for the 2023 season will open in February/March. And fi nally, this can never be said enough: all the data we have about the river herring population on the Mystic River we have because of volunteer community scientists. This is public knowledge generated by residents of the watershed. Thank you, all. SHORT TERM LADDERED U.S. TREASURIES 1. On Nov. 11, 1953, in CamW ith the Federal Reserve increasing the overnight federal funds rate once again by.75%, interest rates on US Treasuries have not been this good in many years. The interest rate on the 90 day US Treasury Bill as of Friday, November 5th, was 4.06%. Interest rates will continue to rise into the new year until the Feds are convinced that infl ation is under control and reflects consistent downward trends. At some point the Feds will begin lowering the federal funds rate and the rates on US Treasuries will fall. Once approach to investing in such Treasuries is by utilizing a laddered short-term Treasury Bill portfolio. For example, if you invested $50,000 in such a portfolio, you could have fi ve different maturing Treasury Bills, each with $10,000. There would be a 3 month Treasury Bill, a 6 month Treasury Bill, a 9 month Treasury Bill, a 12 month Treasury Bill and a 15 month Treasury Bill. As the 3 month Treasury Bill matures, interest is added to the $10,000 and that amount is then invested in a 15 month Treasury Bill. The original 15 month Treasury Bill now has only 12 months to mature, the 12 month Treasury bill now has only 9 months to mature, the 9 month Treasury Bill now has only 6 months to mature and the 6 month Treasury Bill now has only 3 months to mature. The process repeats itself. The laddered short-term Treasury bill portfolio offers very good liquidity and of course, tremendous safety. The Treasuries are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. As long as you hold on to each bond until maturity, you will not lose any money, even if interest rates continue to rise. There is an inverse relationship between interest rates and an existing bond price. When interest rates rise, the price of that bond will decrease. When interest rates fall, the price of that bond will increase. The benefi t of the short-term duration laddered Treasury portfolio is that every three months you are investing in a new Treasury. If interest rates rise, the new Treasury will refl ect the higher rate. Also, they are state income tax free. If you needed to access monies, you could decide not to roll over a 3 month Treasury Bill into a 15 month Treasury Bill upon maturity. You could simply cash in the 3 month Treasury Bill with the interest earnings added to the original bond purchase. This strategy could be on option for those that wish to invest safely while earning rates of returns that we have not seen in many years. This strategy could also complement a typical stock and bond portfolio designed for long-term results. Hard to believe that only one year ago the interest rate paid on a 3 month Treasury Bill was only.05%. Joseph D.

SCAMS | FROM Page 11 • Be wary of big money for small jobs. If an employer is promising outrageously good wages for what seems like simple tasks, such as reshipping packages, stuffing envelopes or answering phones, this is a red fl ag. These toogood-to-be-true offers are an attempt to steal your personal information from a fake job application and can cause problems for you for a long time. • Never work for a company before they hire you. A legitimate company will not ask potential applicants to complete complex projects before making an offi cial off er. Before beginning any work, request an off er letter or written confi rmation of what the job entails, including an offi - cial start date and compensation details.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 BBB Scam Alert: Looking for this season’s hot toy? Beware of scams! E very year, there are always a few “must-have” toys on most kids’ holiday wish lists. The hot toy sells out fast and becomes expensive and hard to fi nd. On top of that, parents worry about getting their deliveries on time. In 2022, according to Amazon (a Better Business Bureau [BBB] Accredited Business), these toys include Magic Mixies Magical Misting Crystal Ball, Snap Circuits, Breyer Horses Unicorn Magic Wooden Stable Playset, National Geographic Break Open 10 Geodes and everyone’s favorite, Squishmallows. Scammers are using the toys’ popularity to trick parents out of their money. How the scam works: You are looking for these toys, but they are sold out at every store you visit, so you decide to shop online. A quick search takes you to a page that miraculously has the toy in stock. The site might look professional and have original images of the product. It might even off er the product at discounted prices, claiming a “last-minute deal” or “fl ash sale.” Unfortunately, many such offers are fake. In many cases reported to BBB.org/ScamTracker, buyers thought they were ordering a high-quality toy. Instead, they received a cheap counterfeit version. In other cases, the products never shipped at all and the websites vanished. In either case, when the dissatisfi ed customers tried to follow up with the company, they found that the staff either didn’t respond or refused to provide a refund. For example, one shopper told BBB Scam Tracker that they fell for a phony deal on a popular plush toy: “This company off ered hard-to-fi nd Squishmallows. I purchased one for $40. The website claims there is a 30-day hassle-free policy. I fi - nally received the product and it is counterfeit. There are no tags on it and it is of very poor quality. I have tried to use the email provided to request a return label and it is not a real email. They also have a chat available on the website, but gee, guess what? No one is on the chat! I will be disputing the purchase on my credit card.” Another shopper found what seemed like a great deal on a Magic Mixies Cauldron, but the product never shipped. “I tried to reach out by email, website contact form and phone with no response. The phone goes to a Gmail mailbox,” the consumer told BBB Scam Tracker. “I was able to resolve it via a PayPal dispute, however, the company falsely had a Priority Mail tracking.” VOTES | SEE Page 16 Candidates without an opponent: Governor’s Tips to avoid toy scams • Only buy toys from reputable stores and websites. The best way to avoid getting scammed when purchasing toys is to buy them directly from a seller you know and trust. • Don’t be fooled by extra-low prices. Unreasonably low prices are a red fl ag for a scam on many products. Avoid making a purchase from a retailer you aren’t familiar with just because the price sounds too good to be true – it probably is! • Research before you buy. If a company seems legitimate but you aren’t familiar with it, be extra careful with your personal information. Before off ering up your name, address and credit card information, make sure the company has a working customer service number.

State Senator Lydia Edwards, also unopposed, tallied 7,231 votes. Massachusetts had four questions posed on this year’s midterm ballot. Question 1, known as the Fair Share Amendment, proposed an additional 4% state income tax on any additional income an individual makes over $1 million. According to the unoffi cial results, 48% of Revere citizens voted yes to adding the additional tax, 5,424 votes. Question 2 asked voters to consider the current lack of regulation of dental insurance. A yes vote for Question 2 meant voting in favor of stricter regulation. Sixty-three percent of Revere citizens voted yes on this question, 7,024. Question 3 addressed a long-standing issue for the state of Massachusetts: the regulation of liquor licenses and the sale of alcoholic beverages. A yes vote for this question would reduce the maximum number of liquor licenses that a retailer could own. The unoffi cial results show a current 58% of Revere residents are not in favor of this proposed law, with 6,508 votes against. Lastly, Question 4 asked voters if they want to uphold the new state law which allows driver’s licenses to be granted to any resident, regardless of legal status. Currently, 48% of Revere residents have voted yes to upholding this law by a slim margin of 5,358 to 5,291 votes. Mail-ins and other forms of ballots remain to be counted but the unoffi cial results provide a clear indication of how the city of Revere voted in the 2022 midterm election.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 Page 17 Man Indicted in Connection with Targeting Seniors Today A Top Financial Scams Dear Savvy Senior, What are the most common scams today that target elderly seniors? My 75-year-old mother has been swindled several times over the past year, so I’m being extra cautious. Paranoid Patty Dear Patty, Great question! While many scams today are universal, there are certain types of fraud that specifi cally target older adults or affects them disproportionately. And unfortunately, these senior targeted scams are on the rise. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in 2021 there were 92,371 older victims of fraud resulting in $1.7 billion in losses. This was a 74 percent increase in losses compared to 2020. Here are fi ve of the most common senior scams that were reported last year, that both you and your mom should be aware of. Government imposter scams: These are fraudulent telephone calls from people claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration or Medicare. These scammers may falsely tell you that you have unpaid taxes and threaten arrest or deportation if you don’t pay up immediately. Or they may say your Social Security or Medicare benefi ts are in danger of being cut off if you don’t provide personal identifying information. They may even “spoof” your caller ID to make it look like the government is actually calling. Sweepstakes and lottery scams: These scams may contact you by phone, mail or email. They tell you that you’ve won or have the potential to win a jackpot. But you need to pay a fee, or cover taxes and processing fees to receive your prize, perhaps by prepaid debit card, wire transfer, money order or cash. Scammers may even impersonate well-known sweepstakes organizations, like Publishers Clearing House, to fool you. Robocalls and phone scam: Robocalls take advantage of sophisticated, automated phone technology to carry out a variety of scams on trusting older adults who answer the phone. Some robocalls may claim that a warranty is expiring on their car or electronic device, and payment is needed to renew it. These scammers may also “spoof” the number to make the call look authentic. One common robocall is the “Can you hear me?” call. When the older person says “yes,” the scammer records their voice and hangs up. The criminal then has a voice signature to authorize unwanted charges on items like stolen credit cards. Computer tech support scams: Theses scams prey on senior’s lack of knowledge about computers and cybersecurity. A pop-up message or blank screen usually appears on a computer or phone, telling you that your device is compromised and needs fi xing. When you call the support number for help, the scammer may either request remote access to your computer and/or that you pay a fee to have it repaired. Grandparent scam: The grandparent scam has been around for several years now. A scammer will call and say something along the lines of: “Hi Grandma, do you know who this is?” When the unsuspecting grandparent guesses the name of the grandchild the scammer most sounds like, the scammer has established a fake identity. The fake grandchild will then ask for money to solve some unexpected fi nancial problem (legal trouble, overdue rent, car repairs, etc.), to be paid via gift cards or money transfers, which don’t always require identification to collect. Other Scams Some other popular scams targeting older adults right now are romance scams through social media and online dating sites, COVID-19 scams, investment scams, Medicare and health insurance scams, and Internet and email fraud. For more information on the different types senior scams to watch out for, along with tips to help your mom protect herself, visit the National Council on Aging website at NCOA.org, and type in “the top 5 fi nancial scams targeting older adults” in the search bar. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. Attempted Kidnapping and Assault at Pelosi Residence federal grand jury returned an indictment on Thursday charging a California man with assault and attempted kidnapping in connection with the break in at the Pelosi residence on Oct. 28 in San Francisco. The indictment supersedes the federal criminal complaint fi led on Oct. 31. According to the indictment, David DePape, 42, of Richmond, was arrested on Oct. 28 inside the Pelosi residence by San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) police offi cers responding to a 911 call from Paul Pelosi, husband of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Paul Pelosi later described to police that he had been asleep when DePape, whom he had never seen before, entered his bedroom looking for Nancy Pelosi. According to the indictment, minutes after the 911 call, two police offi cers responded to the Pelosi residence where they encountered Paul Pelosi and DePape struggling over a hammer. Offi cers told the men to drop the hammer, and DePape allegedly gained control of the hammer and swung it, striking Pelosi in the head. Offi cers immediately restrained DePape while Pelosi was injured on the ground. As set forth in the indictment, once DePape was restrained, offi cers secured a roll of tape, white rope, a second hammer, a pair of rubber and cloth gloves, and zip ties from the crime scene, where offi cers also observed a broken glass door to the back porch. DePape is charged with one count of assault upon an immediate family member of a U.S. ofINDICTED | SEE Page 19 Your local post office will be closed in recognition of Veterans Day P ost offi ces across the Commonwealth will be closed on Friday, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day.

As one of the largest employers of U.S. veterans, nearly 10% of our workforce nationally, the NURSE | FROM Page 2 you’ve been a nurse in the Revere Public Schools for most of your career – how has COVID changed the perception of Public Health in Revere? How is this role diff erent? MAGUIRE: I think that our city fi nally actually saw what it was that public health does during the pandemic because we were the ones that were leaned on during the crisis. We were able to distinguish ourselves as the department you called for guidance, and I do think that will remain going forward. Working in the schools for so long, I see now how dramatically we have grown and started to cover issues that I never used to work on. INTERVIEWER: What made both of you get into this line of work? BUCK: I was a regular clinical nurse, working at a hospital and just always knew it wasn’t the right fi t for me. Most nurses get into their roles because they like helping people, but for some reason being in a hosUnited States Postal Service (USPS) is proud to honor the men and women who have selfl essly served our country in war and in peacetime and those who continue that tradition today. As the saying goes, “America is the land of the free because of the brave.” The USPS generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. pital wasn’t the right fi t for me. I always thought – instead of helping one person with blood pressure issues, why not try to tackle the reason that an entire community has blood pressure issues? That’s what drew me into public health – trying to seek those answers and tackle larger community problems. MAGUIRE: I've only worked in pediatrics, and I was very comfortable working only in pediatrics for all of my nursing career. But working through Covid gave me a diff erent perspective of how you can help community. And so, when I left my school nurse job, I said that it was time for me to make an impact on not just the students that I worked with, but the community that I've lived in my life. That's how I came public health. Also, to work for somebody really who is as passionate about public health as Lauren is, and see a whole diff erent scope of public health, that’s exciting to me. She pushes me every day to learn new things and look at things from a diff erent perspective.

INTERVIEWER: If you had to give yourself piece of advice when COVID started, what would you say? BUCK: My first week of the pandemic, I wasn't working here. I was a nurse. And I mean, I just like would wish I would tell myself “Don’t panic!” Cause it was so scary. I struggled a lot with how scary it was this fi rst couple months and I just wish I could tell myself that you'll make it through. I would tell myself that in some situations, you're not going to make everyone happy and you have to be okay with that. I hate that as a piece of advice because obviously the goal is to try to meet people's needs, but you're not always going to be able to do that… and just learn to live with it a little bit better. MAGUIRE: I would tell myself not to be afraid to reach out. I think about at the beginning how we probably didn’t hit every neighborhood of Revere, or we weren’t translating enough information, but we learned pretty quickly how important that was and we will always continue to expand accessibility.

The funds are from the state’s surplus of money. The two versions went to a conference committee to hammer out a compromise version. Finally last week, the House and Senate crafted the compromise version and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a $3.8 billion spending bill to fund an economic development package and a supplemental budget to close out the state’s books on fi scal 2022. There was no roll call on the bill because it was approved at informal sessions of each branch at which roll calls are not allowed. Under legislative rules, each one of the state’s 192 legislators had the power to stall the bill indefinitely but no one did. Absent from the package is millions of dollars in tax relief that was part of the original confl icting versions approved by each branch including $500 million one-time tax rebates to an estimated 2 million eligible people. A $250 rebate would go to individual taxpayers and a $500 rebate to married taxpayers. Eligibility would be determined by annual income reported in 2021, with the minimum income required to be $38,000, and the maximum $100,000 for individual fi lers and $150,000 for joint fi lers. Beginning in 2023, several permanent tax reductions would take eff ect including increasing the Child and Dependent Care Credit from $180 per child to $310 per child, as well as eliminating the current cap of $360 for two or more children; increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit from 30 Your Hometown News Delivered!

This will help to ensure that our discussion of permanent tax relief can and will be informed by the views of a newly elected Legislature and governor, while considering the looming challenges facing the commonwealth.” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) explained why the GOP decided not to hold up the bill despite the fact that it did not include the tax cuts. “At this important point, when one member could stop this process from moving forward, we will not jeopardize those important priorities,” said Tarr. “Too often, we see sometimes obstruction of someone else’s agenda because someone isn’t able to get all of their agenda. This is a time that requires statespersonship on behalf of all of us, so we will not stand in the way of helping all of those that need our help that will be the benefi ciaries of some of the important appropriations in this bill. But what we will do is insist on a commitment to this IOU.” Former representative and current GOP Party chair Jim Lyons disagreed with Tarr and criticized the Democratic leadership. “They removed the tax cuts from the original package, and the reason they did that, according to their own words, is that they’re uncertain about economic conditions moving forward,” Lyons said. “Yet somehow that isn’t stopping them from spending a whopping $3.7 billion of the taxpayers’ money. This is exactly why Massachusetts taxpayers are absolutely fed up with the status quo on Beacon Hill,” continued Lyons. “The Democrats are using an informal session to pass this progressive grab bag stuff ed with handouts because they’re afraid of having to go on the record and actually vote for it.” ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL WHEELCHAIR WARRANTY AND REPAIRS (S 3136) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would strengthen consumer protections for wheelchair users. Current state law does not set any timeline for assessing repairs and does not require dealers to off er wheelchairs on loan within a fi xed time period. Provisions of the bill include requiring that wheelchair manufacturers, lessors and dealers provide customers with written notifi cation of the warranty for their wheelchairs; increasing the minimum duration for an any warranty from one year to two years; mandating that if an in-warranty wheelchair stops functioning, manufacturers, lessors and dealers must assess the wheelchair within three days, provide a temporary wheelchair on loan within four days and cover any other costs to the user; and authorizing the attorney general and consumers to bring legal actions against any violation of provisions protecting wheelchair users from unfair and deceptive business practices relating to warranty-fulfi llment. Supporters said wheelchair repairs pose substantial problems for people with physical disabilities. The noted that it is not uncommon for those who use wheelchairs to wait for weeks for repairs. This leaves these individuals stranded at home and unable to go to work, school, medical appointments, grocery shopping or elsewhere. This creates a crisis for individuals and families and often exacerbates other health conditions. Existing state law does not set any timeline for assessing repairs or require dealers to offer wheelchairs on loan within a fi xed time period. “This bill’s passage is an important step forward to protect wheelchair users and their families,” said the bill’s sponsor Sen. John Cronin (D-Lunenberg). “The bill implements critical protections in the law to prevent wheelchair users from being stranded in their homes for prolonged periods when their wheelchair or mobility device becomes inoperable.” “I have fought my entire career to make Massachusetts a more inclusive place for people of all abilities to live, work and play,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (DAshland). “It is especially fitting that the Senate has passed these bills on the same day that we adjourn in memory of Paul Spooner, a committed and tireless disability rights and inclusion activist working in MetroWest and a dear friend of mine. By helping us move closer to our goal of ensuring that all people have opportunities to live independently, we honor Paul’s legacy and make the Massachusetts a more compassionate and accessible commonwealth.” SUPPORTED DECISION-MAKING (S 2848) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill creating the option for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability, dementia or mental health diagnosis to enter into an agreement of “supported decision-making” as an alternative to traditional guardianship. In a guardianship, the guardian makes medical, fi nancial and other major life decisions for the person. Under a supported decisionmaking agreement, an individual actually makes his or her own decisions with the support of a designated person or team and his or her decision cannot be overridden by the supporters. “I am incredibly proud that this life-changing legislation has advanced through the Senate,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem), the sponsor of the measure. “Supported decision-making agreements maximize the dignity, freedom and independence of persons with disabilities and provide a proven, cost-eff ective and less restrictive alternative to guardianship … Everyone should have the opportunity to be the decision-maker of their own lives, and this legislation will empower many for whom that was not previously possible.” “People with disabilities deserve the freedom to maintain their independence and dignity,” said Sen. Susan Moran (D-Falmouth), chair of the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. “I’m proud to vote for this bill to enable supported decision making for people with disabilities and take another strong step in supporting residents with disabilities in the commonwealth.” “I have had the opportunity, as BEACON | SEE Page 20

Adam Gomez (D-Springfi eld), chair of the Senate Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. “Supported decision-making is a no-brainer that allows individuals, including those with disabilities and elders, to maintain their rights and independence, allowing them to choose one or more trusted advisors to provide assistance in making decisions about their lives. I am thrilled that this legislation is moving forward and I know it will change many lives.” STEP THERAPY (H 4929) – Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a bill that limits the use of health care plan mandated prescription drug “step therapy” protocols and provides more exemptions to the mandate. Step therapy requires the patient to try less expensive options before “stepping up” to drugs that cost more. Conditions which would exempt a patient from trying the less expensive drug fi rst include if the treatment will harm the patient, or if the patient previously tried the required treatment, or similar treatment, and it was ineff ective. Supporters said that insurers that utilize step therapy protocols require medical providers to prescribe lower-cost medications to patients fi rst, and only grant approval for alternative medications when the cheaper options have failed to improve a patient’s condition. This results in insurers eff ectively choosing medications for the patient, even in cases where their providers have recommended an alternative. When patients change insurers, they are often forced to start at the beginning of the step therapy protocol again, which results in wasteful health care expenditures, lost time for patients and potentially devastating health care impacts on the patient. “On behalf of the dozens of patient groups who worked so hard on this issue, we are thrilled that Gov. Baker has signed it into law,” said Marc Hymovitz, Government Relations Director in Massachusetts for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. “This law puts treatment decisions back in the hands of doctors and patients where it belongs. It ensures patients will get the necessary medicine in a timely manner. Without a doubt, this will have a positive impact on thousands of patients across the commonwealth.” “We are taking action to ensure that patients with complicated illnesses receive the medications that their doctors know they need—not repeatedly taking medications that are ineff ective,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate chair of Committee on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Recovery. “Waiting for treatment to fail fi rst before utilizing a preferred medication often leads to worsening symptoms that cause complications and needless suffering for patients. It is a shortsighted practice that puts patients at unnecessary risk.” “This bill is a major step forward in ensuring patients and doctors have access to the right medication at the right time,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “We are fi - nally joining over half the states in the nation in reforming step therapy practices, putting the focus back on health care providers working with patients to off er the best treatment possible.” The governor’s offi ce did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call to get the governor to comment on the new law/ INCREASE PENALTIES FOR HIT AND RUNS WITH RECREATIONAL VEHICLES (H 4504) – The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation, known as the James Ward Act, which would increase the penalty of a hit and run with a recreational vehicle that causes bodily injury from a fi ne between $500 and $1,000 to a jail sentence of one year and/or a fi ne between $500 and $1,000. The proposal also creates the penalty of up to a $5,000 fi ne and/or a jail sentence of 2.5 years for a hit and run with a recreational vehicle that results in the death of the other party. The legislation, according to the current sponsor, Rep. Kathy LaNatra (D-Kingston), was originally fi led by Kingston’s former Rep. Tom Calter in response to an ATV accident in Plymouth in December of 2012 that resulted in the death of 14-year-old James Ward. After the accident, the rider of the other dirt bike promised James’ father that he would run and get help, yet instead fl ed the scene without returning. The other party was acquitted of negligent driving and only faced misdemeanor charges for leaving the scene of an accident. “I am proud to see the James Ward Act fi nally pass the House of Representatives,” said LaNatra. “We must hold those accountable who are guilty of the cowardly act SKATING CENTER www.Roller-World.com 781-231-1111 HELP WANTED Earn $16.

As a parent, it is my sincere hope that no family will have to lose a child and the other party only receive mild charges for leaving the scene of the accident.” SCHOOL CUSTODIAN DAY (S 2126) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill declaring October 2nd as the School Custodian Day, in recognition of “the dedicated contributions provided by school custodians to ensure children of the commonwealth have clean, healthy and safe learning environments.” The governor would also recommend that the day be observed in an appropriate manner by the people. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, the commonwealth’s school custodians have continued to diligently care for our facilities and students,” said sponsor Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton). “We must take action here in Massachusetts to ensure our school custodial workers know we appreciate their hard work and dedication. I am happy to see this bill move out of the Senate and over to the House for action.” QUOTABLE QUOTES — The Baker administration announced grants totaling more than $4.1 million to help Massachusetts nonprofi t, faith-based organizations to improve physical security and protect against terroristic and hate-fueled attacks. The announcement was made at the 4th Annual Faith-Based Organizations Safety and Security Seminar hosted by the Commonwealth Fusion Center and attended by more than 150 federal, state, local and nonprofi t partners at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center. Here are some of the quotes on the grant: “Protecting our commonwealth means protecting the organizations that are the pillars of our communities. We are committed to ensuring that these nonprofi ts and houses of worship are protected and that everyone can feel safe when they gather and worship.” ---Gov. Charlie Baker “Faith-based organizations provide important opportunities for people to worship, gather and connect with their faith and their community. Protecting these institutions from threats ensures that residents of every creed have a safe, dedicated space to engage in the life of their community.” ---Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito “These grants ensure that nonprofi t institutions where community members gather have the resources that they need to improve security. Ensuring the right to gather safely and to practice faith without fear is fundamental to our public safety goals.” ---Secretary of Public Safety and Security Terrence Reidy “Gathering places such as houses of worship have unique security needs. The grants awarded through this program will help the recipients increase the security of their facilities while continuing to provide the open and welcoming gathering places their communities rely on.” --- Offi ce of Grants and Research Executive Director Kevin Stanton 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 October 31-November 4, the House met for a total of four hours and 41 minutes and the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and 55 minutes. Mon.

I converted this home into 2 condominiums and renovated them for rental and eventually selling them for great profit which catapulted me into more and more investing opportunities in Charlestown. My next move was to start investing in areas that I felt were good opportunities to start spearheading my love of short term rentals which to me has been a game changer in my investment portfolio. In 2012, I bought a multi-family on Martha's Vineyard, MA and started renting by the day instead of by the month. I quickly realized that I could make the mortgage payment in a week instead of a month. For the past 7 years, I have been an Air bnb hostess and property manager for 6 properties; 3 in Rockport, MA, 2 on Martha's Vineyard and my newest property on Lake Mascoma, NH which is a sprawling lake front property my first 1031 exchange which is when you sell an investment property and to defer the capital gains tax, you purchase another investment property (definitely a little tricky). This is where my passion for real estate and investing is beneficial to guiding clients in either buying or selling their home. I know the ins and outs of how to think outside the box. How easily a coat of paint and staging can add thousands of dollars to selling a home or adding instant equity to a home. 20 Pamela Ln U-20 Amesbury, MA 01913 My experience has always taught me to buy properties that have potential or "good bones" in a desirable neighborhood.
