(Photo Courtesy of Amazon) By Adam Swift A mazon is primed to begin development of the former Showcase Cinemas site on Squire Road for a last mile delivery station. Last week, the proposal from Amazon and Northbridge Partners, which is purchasing the approximately 22acre parcel, passed muster with the Conservation Commission. The delivery station will be similar to the operation that recently opened at the former Necco site on the VFW Parkway. The proposal has also been before the city’s Site Plan Review Committee, which has issued recommendations for parking and traffi c on the site. “Our proposal is to remove the existing building (of 102,000 square feet) and build a 90,000 square foot Last Mile delivery station,” said Larry Beals of Beals Associates, the project designer for Amazon. “The site as it is today is essentially fully paved, and there is not much landscaping in the area.” Beals said the current project will decrease the paved area and add more trees than are currently on the property. “I know what is important to the Conservation Commission is creating green space and open space,” said Beals. “One of the things we are trying to accomplish with this plan is that we have added as much green space as we possibly can.” The entrance to the site will remain the same, but Beals said the truck and van traffi c associated with the Amazon deliveries will be traveling along Rte. 1 and not using local roadways. The traffi c pattern on the site should allow for a smooth fl ow of traffi c, with a counterclockwise flow from the employee parking area to the area where Amazon vans are parked to the loading dock where the packages are loaded onto the vans, according to Beals. “The Last Mile delivery sta$1.55 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

Of the associates who work on the site, the majority work overnight and arrive at 10 p.m., getting the packages ready for morning distribution.” The delivery van drivers begin arriving around 9 or 9:30 a.m., Schumer said, with packages beginning to leave the site via van around 10 a.m. Those delivery vans begin returning around 7 p.m., she said. “I believe that at this site, there will be 20 to 30 vans leaving every 20 to 30 minCINEMA | SEE Page 15 Director of Veteran Services Marc Silvestri, shown speaking virtually during Wednesday’s Veterans Day ceremony, served in Afghanistan (pictured right) receiving the Bronze Star with Valor and a Purple Heart.

(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) By Tara Vocino W ard 5 residents recently shared their thoughts about the convenience of the newly-restored Sears Street footbridge. Chief of Infrastructure/Public Works Donny Ciaramella said the bridge was built by Chris Ciaramella and Chris Courage, of the Revere Water/Sewer Drain department, inside a Department of Public Works facility, which saves the city money. “It would have cost approximately $30,000,” Ciaramella said. “The way we did it, it costs approximately $6,000.” Lincoln Lloyd Redley said to see the 30-year-old-bridge restored was the dying wish of his neighbor Mary Anne. “I, too, was disappointed when it was unusable,” Redley said. “Although it’s quaint, it’s a little piece of nature.” Ward 5 Councillor John Powers said it saves residents a halfmile walk to Revere Beach. “There weren’t any handrails and it wasn’t handicapped accessible,” Powers said. “Boards were sticking up.” Opened on Labor Day weekend, the bridge is handicapped accessible and convenient for all residents.

COM RICHARD SERINO Ward 6 Councillor spring to extend it to December, it was not a money grab – this was truly with good intentions to make our streets look better.” For this year, Serino said, he believes it is only fair that since not everyone might be aware that street sweeping was extended by a month and that only warnings should be issued during the sweeping hours for parked cars. “By next year, people should get the hang of it,” he said. McKenna seconded Serino’s statement that last year the city’s streets were still a mess with leaves in December, and also noted that the December street sweeping will be weather permitting. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky added that in addition to snow, cold weather could cause issues with the street sweepers not being able to run in December. He also said that if there is no street sweeping due to inclement weather, there would be no reason to ticket cars or issue warnings. City Council President Patrick Keefe suggested that the fi rsttime off ense in December be a warning, with tickets for subsequent off enses. “Sometimes people do take advantage of things like this,” he said.

Abrams, who served briefly on the council before stepping down for health reasons in 2010, died in May. During Monday night’s meeting, Abrams was remembered by friends, family, and city offi - cials as a kind, loving family man who loved his hometown of Revere and was always willing to lend a helping hand. “Corey Abrams was my pal, he was everyone’s pal,” said Ward open in the spring, after Abrams. COREY ABRAMS 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna, who put forward the motion to name the garden, scheduled to “That infectious laugh, his selflessness, he always gave back to the people in need and to his community, but it often went unnoticed. Corey was a true friend and I miss him every day.” Abrams grew up in the Beachmont area, and although he later moved to Reading with his wife, Kristin and fi ve children, he was still a familiar site lending a hand to political candidates in Revere or helping out those in need in the city. “It was a tragic loss for all of us, but the city of Revere does have a very steep history of honoring HONORS | SEE Page 15 CambridgeSide and Parker 3D announce world premiere of GoPixelYourself C ambridgeSide and Parker 3D have announced the world premiere of GoPixelYourself, an “instagrammable museum” creating an experience for all ages that immerses visitors in color, texture and scale.

Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 GBL votes unanimously to accept Lynn English and Lynn Classical as new members Schools requested to leave Northeastern Conference and join GBL in time for next fall season By Steve Freker T he Greater Boston League (GBL) could go from “out of business” to expanding and thriving in the span of just 18 months. Yesterday the GBL board voted unanimously, 6-0, to accept Lynn English High School and Lynn Classical High School as members for the 2021-2022 season next fall, pending their release from the Northeastern Conference (NEC). “It was an easy decision and we are thrilled as a league that Lynn English and Lynn Classical wanted to become part of the Greater Boston League,” said Malden High School Principal and GBL President Chris Mastrangelo. “We will become a stronger, eight-team league with these two great additions,” Mastrangelo added. “Moving forward, we believe the GBL will be the premier, urban-based league in Massachusetts.” At a meeting of NEC athletic directors last Thursday, Lynn Classical and Lynn English informed the NEC they wish to leave the league in time to join the GBL for September 2021. The GBL was reformed at the end of the 2019-2020 school year when the NEC essentially voted out the four local schools, Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville, after a brief, twoyear trial run as members of the NEC. Those four schools were quickly joined by Revere, an NEC school that had a long history in the GBL in the past, which opted to leave the NEC and got a swift bon voyage from that league. The GBL will soon increase to six members when Chelsea High joins the fold for the 2021-22 season next September. Representatives of Lynn English and Lynn Classical, according to reports, told the NEC athletic directors that there have been discussions with the GBL reps for the past two months and they were told they’d be welcomed “with open arms.” If the two Lynn schools became fi rst-time “GBLers,” it would create an eight-team league, which would quickly be recognized as perhaps the premier urbanbased league in the state. the so-called GBL team remaining in the NEC and was one of the votes in favor. “For the short time they were in the league, we had tremendous games and competition with the GBL,” Devin said in a published report. “I looked at all the sports and I thought they belonged in the league. I’ve been thinking about this ever since they left the league. The GBL is more of where we should be now.” One reason is that officials “We’ve been talking to the Greater Boston League for two months,” Lynn English Athletic Director Dick Newton said in a published report. “Many of the schools in that league are dealing with the same issues that we are dealing with here. I just feel like the Greater Boston League is a league where we belong now and in the future.” The GBL was one of the top leagues in Massachusetts, in all sports, for many years since its inception in 1959, before schools began leaving for other leagues. A number of schools, including charter members Arlington and Revere, as well as Peabody, Waltham and Cambridge, all left, leaving the GBL with just Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville. Those four schools joined the NEC on a trial basis in 2017, but were voted out in 2019, with schools including Beverly and Marblehead leading the way. The GBL was reestablished in 2019 as of the winter season. Lynn Classical Athletic Director Bill Devin strongly supported and coaches from Classical and English were reportedly not happy when other schools in the NEC changed course and decided to go forward with their fall sports seasons after the NEC principals had voted to move the entire season to “Fall 2” due to the Coronavirus. The two Lynn teams could not compete since that community was designated in the “Red,” high-risk category and not allowed to compete according to state and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association protocols – all GBL schools stood as one and canceled their fall seasons. Baker awards $3.4M for targeted substance use intervention in schools T he Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) and the state Department of Public Health recently announced $3.4 million in grants awarded to programs in Central and Western Massachusetts that promote ongoing efforts by the Commonwealth to provide community behavioral health services to middle school students at risk for substance abuse, emotional challenges and conduct problems. The grants will ensure that the selected agencies are prepared to off er remote community behavioral health services to high-risk youngsters enrolled in grades fi ve through eight who are at risk for substance abuse, emotional challenges and conduct problems. The grantees join a roster of 10 other agencies that received grants last year and have been implementing this program model in 18 schools across the Commonwealth for over a year. “We are focused on ensuring that we continue the progress we’ve already made in the fi ght against addiction in Massachusetts,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “These targeted substance use interventions in schools are especially important now during this challenging and unprecedented pandemic, where we see many folks struggling.” “It is so important that we continue to off er services and treatment to at-risk students in communities across the Commonwealth,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “These early interventions are crucial to help reduce their risk of developing an opioid or substance use disorder.” “With disruptions to inschool learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, these grant awards will provide critical, timely assistance for students,” said EOHHS Secretary Marylou Sudders, who directs the state’s COVID-19 Command Center. “With these grants, programs will be better able to respond to students’ and their families’ needs, increase collaboration with schools, and provide support to students in crisis.” The grants will be distributed over the course of four-and-ahalf years, with each program receiving $122,816 this year and $184,224 each additional year. The awards will be funded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s state Opioid Response grant. Last year, when the School/Community Based Targeted Intervention Services grant program launched, the state awarded $17.1 million to 10 organizations over six years. “Massachusetts is taking action to reinforce protections for children in these unprecedented times,” said Public Health Commissioner Dr. Monica Bharel. “The expansion of this grant program will ensure that at-risk youth receive the services they need to prevent substance use, help combat For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net the opioid epidemic, and support families during the COVID-19 state of emergency.” Now more than ever, Massachusetts schools need support to eff ectively respond to student substance abuse, as access to high-potency marijuana products increases, rates of on-campus vaping surge and the overall perception of harm associated with adolescent substance abuse decreases. The grant award will serve to support the Commonwealthwide adolescent addiction workforce that is specifi cally trained and certifi ed to provide targeted substance abuse interventions and treatment to at-risk students, reducing their risk of developing a substance abuse disorder.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 Page 7 Former president of Revere special needs nonprofit pleads guilty to stealing from organization Defendant stole more than $42K for personal use on home improvement projects, electronics and concert tickets BOSTON – The former president of the Revere League for Special Needs has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with an embezzlement scheme in which she stole thousands of dollars from the organization for personal use, Attorney General Maura Healey announced this week. On November 9, Michelle DeMauro, 49, of Revere, pleaded guilty in Suff olk Superior Court to Larceny Over $1,200 by a Single Scheme (two counts), Tax Evasion, Failure to Collect or Pay Taxes, Keep Records or Supply Information (one count) and Obtaining a Signature Under False Pretenses (two counts). The Revere League for Special Needs is an organization that aims to “promote the general welfare of children and adults with special needs in the home, church, school, or community.” The organization’s all-volunteer staff donate their time to hold events and activities for members of the organization and do not receive any compensation for their work.

For a fi fth charge – Tax Evasion – DeMauro was sentenced to three years of probation with the same conditions, to run concurrent with her sentence for the larceny and fraudulent signature charges. Between March 2016 and April 2019, DeMauro used her position as president of the organization to embezzle more than $42,000 in charitable funds that she used for personal expenses, including home improvement projects, jewelry, an iPhone, a laptop, eyeglasses, concert tickets, cash withdrawals and gift cards. In addition, DeMauro made personal purchases using the charity’s tax-exempt status to avoid paying sales tax to the state.

Serino said he wasn’t exactly thrilled to push the motion back to 5 p.m. start times, but said he was willing to accept Guinasso’s amendment in the spirit of compromise. “I appreciate [Serino’s] hard work and truly appreciate his compromise to be more in favor of 5 p.m.,” said Councillor-atLarge Anthony Zambuto. Serino said 5 p.m. is a start, ARTHUR GUINASSO Ward 3 Councillor it would allow more time for council subcommittee meetings on the same nights as regularly scheduled full council meetings. Regular council meetings typically begin at 6 p.m., with subcommittees starting as early as 3:30 or 4 p.m. on some weeks. “That would give us an hour before the council meeting, which would encompass a lot of our subcommittee meetings that could be conducted on the Monday nights when we are all and that he could look to revisit the issue a few years on down the line. He also said he would like to see the City of Revere continue to give residents access to take part in meetings through Zoom, even when the Covid-19 crisis is over, as a way to encourage public participation. While the new order will apply to the City Council and planning and zoning boards, the License Commission and Site Plan Review Committees will be able to keep their earlier start times. Serino said those committees typically involve industries where the people involved in the meetings are more easily able to attend earlier meetings.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 Page 11 East Boston teens arrested in connection with Revere Beach murder By Christopher Roberson S tate Police recently announced that two suspects, both 17-year-old males, were taken into custody for their alleged involvement in the July homicide of 20-year-old Yaseen Butt on Revere Beach Boulevard. Revere Police responded to a report of an erratic driver at the Wendy’s drive-through on Squire Road at approximately 1:45 a.m. on November 6. According to police, the driver fl ed and nearly struck one of the offi - cers who were approaching the vehicle. The driver then headed east on Squire Road and entered Brown Circle travelling in the wrong direction. A short time later, the driver reportedly crashed on Malden Street, hitting a traffi c island and knocking over a utility pole. Police pursued the two suspects on foot and were able to apprehend one of them. Offi - cers soon discovered that the suspect had been previously charged in Butt’s murder. Working with State Police, Revere offi cers caught up with the second suspect at approximately 7 a.m. on November 10 at a home on Hutchinson Street. According to police, he has also been charged with having a role in the homicide. In addition to the two teens, police had arrested Felix Martinez, 20, of East Boston, in the days following Butt’s murder. Martinez remains in custody awaiting trial. “Calls from the citizens alerting us to suspicious behavior allowed us to respond and, along with the Mass. State Police K9, apprehend this individual,” said Police Chief David Callahan. “As police offi cers we never know what a call may lead to and today a suspect wanted for a murder is in custody through the quick actions of all offi cers involved.” Board of Health issues guidance for lowering COVID-19 risk at Thanksgiving O n Tuesday the Revere Board of Health issued guidance regarding lowering COVID-19 risks during Thanksgiving celebrations. Residents are strongly encouraged to consider the risks of traditional Thanksgiving celebrations. Larger, indoor gatherings with shared food and drink have been deemed “high-risk” by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) due to potential for direct and close contact, inability to maintain social distance and potential exposure of vulnerable individuals to asymptomatic individuals who are unknowingly carrying the virus. On Tuesday, November 10, the Revere Board of Health recorded 41 new cases of COVID-19 in Revere. The city is averaging 39.6 new cases a day, and its seven-day average per capita is 73.3. The city’s current level of new cases is the highest it has recorded since April. The Revere Board of Health is reminding residents that the safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving this year is at home with only the people they live with. However, if you are planning to gather with people outside of your household, there are ways to lower your risk: • Limit gatherings to as few people as possible • If possible, everyone should quarantine to the best of their AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE CA$H FOR YOUR CAR!

Page 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 Justice Dept. awards $96M to fund drug and veterans’ treatment courts WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP) announced that it has awarded more than $96 million to fund specialized drug courts and veterans’ treatment courts. These courts provide treatment instead of detention for nonviolent juveniles, veterans and adults who have been criminally charged and who have a substance use disorder. The awards are part of more than $340 million in OJP grants awarded in October to fi ght America’s addiction crisis. “My years interacting with drug-involved offenders as a state judge gave personal validation to the findings of researchers – drug courts have enormous potential to reduce crime, curb abuse and change lives,” said OJP Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Katharine T. Sullivan. “I’m so proud to make these important investments in strategies that have been shown to improve public safety and deliver badly needed treatment resources to those, like our nation’s veterans, who have been caught up in a cycle of crime and addiction.” The fi rst American drug court system began in 1989 in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in response to the crack cocaine epidemic. Drug courts there and elsewhere have demonstrated that they reduce recidivism and substance abuse among highrisk, high-need participants and increase their likelihood of successful rehabilitation. There are now more than 4,000 drug courts throughout the United States. In addition, more than 350 veterans’ treatment courts now serve over 15,000 American veterans. OJP has funded several fi scal year 2020 drug court programs, including the Adult Drug Court and Veterans Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program administered by OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). More than $57 million is being distributed under this program, which provides fi nancial assistance to states, state courts, local courts, units of local government and tribal governments to develop, implement and enhance drug courts. BJA also awarded more than $12 million for related training and technical assistance. BJA awarded $2.6 million to fund the National Community Courts Site-based and Training and Technical Assistance Initiative, which supports community court grantees and practitioners in developing eff ective responses to low-level and nonviolent off enses and in addressing substance abuse, including opioid use. OJP’s Offi ce of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) funded the Family Drug Court Program with more than $19 million to build the capacity of states, state and local courts, units of local government and federally recognized tribal governments to sustain existing family drug courts or establish new ones. These courts serve parents who require treatment for a substance abuse disorder and who are involved with the child welfare system as a result of child abuse or neglect. The Family Drug Court awards will fund two areas. The fi rst area will expand treatment services for parents in existing family drug courts, which include screening, assessment, case management, recovery support and program coordination. The second area will enhance or expand family drug court treatment at the state and county levels to more eff ectively serve families aff ected by opioid, stimulant and other substance use disorders. More than $5 million from OJJDP funded the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program to provide resources to state, local and tribal governments to create and enhance juvenile drug treatment court programs for youngsters in the justice system who are substance abusers, with a specifi c focus on opioid abuse. The Category 1 grants will be used for jurisdictions where no juvenile drug court currently exists or has been operational for less than a year. Category 2 grants will support jurisdictions with a fully operational juvenile drug treatment court.

BALLET | FROM Page 11 of their own home. The production’s creators were invited to the Czech Republic to record with Brno Philharmonic conductor Mikel Toms (currently the resident conductor of the National Orchestra of India), where “The Slutcracker” soundtrack was recorded live. The offi cial “Slutcracker Sweet” is also available on iTunes. “The Slutcracker” brings together ballet dancers, burlesque performers, “hula hoopers,” belly dancers and so many others with interests in fl amenco, hip hop, pole dancing, acting and myriad dance forms. The production is directed and choreographed by Vanessa White, who creates dance-theater stage shows, typically with a political/feminist bent and which embrace diversity across several spectra, including race, gender, genre and body type. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 “The cast is diverse…We cast performers of diff erent shapes, sizes, colors, genders, abilities, ages [over 18] and talents,” said White. “Year to year, the show changes partly based on who gets cast in a show in a particular season. Sometimes inspiration for a new character, costume, or scene comes from an audition. I give a lot of wiggle room for performers to shape their characters – their diverse experiences bring a richness to both the storytelling Page 13 and the choreography that a director can’t deliver on their own.” “The show must go on,” said producer John Wenworth. “For performers and audiences alike, The Slutcracker has become a highly anticipated tradition. We look forward to it every year. The prospect of missing this heartwarming and silly sexiness, especially now, seems terrible. We are, however, thrilled to be able to off er our brand of holiday cheer, despite the curse of 2020, to both our returning fans and to a new international audience.” In an eff ort to maintain the vibrancy of the arts and dance through a unique lens with mass appeal, especially during a time when it is most needed, White also teaches a variety of integrative dance and movement classes, now available online, including but not limited to, ballet, burlesque, chair-dancing, and comprehensive stretching that uses elements of dance and yoga. SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR A DIVORCED SPOUSE A divorced spouse must meet certain conditions in order to collect social security benefi ts based upon his or her ex-spouse’s work history. The divorced spouse must have been married for at least 10 years. The divorced spouse must not have remarried. If remarried, the divorced spouse will still be able to collect benefi ts based upon the ex-spouse’s work history so long as the second marriage ended by death, divorce or annulment. If the divorced spouse did remarry, he or she could collect under either ex-spouse’s work history so long as the second marriage also lasted at least 10 years, or if the second spouse died, that marriage lasted at least 9 months. Furthermore, a divorced spouse must be at least 62 years of age or older to collect. If the ex-spouse is deceased and the divorced spouse is at least 50 years of age, the divorced spouse can collect social security benefi ts if deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration. A divorced spouse can begin collecting benefits so long as the ex-spouse is at least 62 years of age and he or she has been divorced for at least two years. The divorced spouse is eligible to receive one half of the ex-spouse’s social security benefi ts. If, however, the ex-spouse dies, then the divorced spouse can then collect 100% of the ex-spouse’s full retirement benefi t. This benefit would not include any delayed retirement credits the ex-spouse may receive. The divorced spouse would only be able to receive a benefi t based upon the value of the ex-spouse’s benefi t at his or her full retirement age. Full retirement age for those born between 1943 and 1954 is 66 years old. From 1955 to 1960, full retirement age gradually increases. For those born in 1960 or later, full retirement age is 67. A person born prior to January 2, 1954 has the option of fi rst collecting based upon the ex-spouse’s work history while allowing his or her own benefi ts to grow until reaching age 70, and then switching over to his or her own work history. The law was recently changed so that a divorced spouse born after January 1, 1954 applying for social security benefi ts will automatically receive the highest benefi t for which he or she is entitled to, based upon either his or her own work history, or the work history of the ex-spouse. He or she no longer has the option of collecting benefi ts based upon the ex-spouse’s work history and then switching over to his or her own work history at age 70.

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 ~ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ~ President of Boston Carmen’s Union speaks out against proposed MBTA cuts Dear Editor: It’s undeniable that COVID-19 has reshaped our daily lives. Yet, bus and train service remains essential to the riders who make hundreds of thousands of trips each day, including and especially the frontline workers who have kept our communities running during the pandemic. As transportation workers, the 6,000 members of Local 589 are among those essential workers. Now, there is a danger of MBTA offi cials exploiting the crisis by forcing austerity measures upon riders and workers alike. It is the same old song of MBTA offi cials pushing austerity, rather than daring to ask the wealthy to pay their fair share, despite the strong public support for new revenues that will ensure high quality, aff ordable, safe public transportation. The MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board would be failing riders and the public yet again if they make these cuts before the Biden administration has an opportunity to take important steps on infrastructure funding. It is completely tone-deaf and against the interest of riders and our communities for the MBTA board to be pushing service reductions, instead of working to hold large corporations and the superwealthy responsible to fi nally pay their fair share and to protect the common good. Now is the time to invest in our future and our economy and in the public transportation services that our communities need, not to decimate public transit with misguided austerity measures. The members of Local 589 are calling for a moratorium on further austerity measures at the MBTA and a moratorium on any proposed cuts that will hurt the essential workers across the Commonwealth who rely on public transportation. We call on our elected leaders and on MBTA offi cials to reject these premature austerity measures, and to support the quality public transportation our cities and state rely upon. Sincerely, James Evers President Boston Carmen’s Union Local 589 The Eastern County Ditch was cleaned in this reconstruction effort.

FISCAL 2020 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 5102) House 157-0, Senate on a voice vote without a roll call approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker, a fi scal 2020 supplemental budget to close out the books on fi scal year 2020. A key provision to help fund the budget diverts the scheduled automatic transfer of capital gains tax revenue estimated at $400 million to the state Rainy Day Fund. Provisions include $422 million for MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program that provides healthcare for low-income and disabled persons; $62.6 million for the Group Insurance Commission; $11.9 million for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education; $1.9 million for the promotion of the restaurant industry; $6.6 million for the State Police; $727,170 to reimburse municipalities for early voting costs from the March 3 presidential primary; $711,947 for a grant program focused on advanced skill training for the home care aide workforce that serves consumers of the elder home care program; and creation of an Opioid Recovery and Remediation Trust Fund to mitigate the impacts of the state’s opioid epidemic including expanding access to opioid use disorder prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery options. Other provisions include giving fl exibility to UMass by permitting it to secure a short-term line of credit for operating costs capped at eight percent of the university’s total approved operating budget; a limited retroactive extension to the statute of limitations for a cause of action concerning prescription opioids brought against Purdue Pharma and its owners; and a change to the state’s unemployment law to ensure that people receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance FOR LEASE Commerical Property 134 Ferry St., Everett 1,400 sq. ft., parking available Call 617-240-0767 for more details will receive an additional seven weeks of benefi ts, fully covered by the federal government. Overall, this budget is a fi scally responsible and targeted piece of legislation that will help close the books on fi scal year 2020,» explained Senate Ways and Means Chair Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). Of the 39 amendments proposed by representatives, 36 were withdrawn including a controversial one by Rep. Mike Connolly (DCambridge) that would have extended a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures for failure to pay until at least January 1, 2021. The amendment would also give the governor the authority to postpone the expiration in increments of up to 90 days. A moratorium approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor on April 20 expired on October 17 and the Legislature has not extended it. Supporters say that without the extension, there will be tens of thousands of tenants evicted. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes ~ Public Hearing ~ Notice is hereby given, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 40, Section 56 of the Massachusetts General Laws, that the Revere City Council will conduct a public hearing via remote participation on Zoom, Monday evening, November 23, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of establishing the minimum residential factor, so that the Board of Assessors may proceed with the establishment of the tax rate for Fiscal Year 2021.

Melnik City Clerk Revere Advocate 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 November 2-6, the House met for a total of eight hours and 18 minutes while the Senate met for a total of six hours and 21 minutes. Mon.

Argenzio November 13, 2020 What Happens to Medicare if Obamacare is Overturned? Dear Savvy Senior, Will my Medicare benefits be affected if Obamacare is overturned by the Supreme Court? Concerned Benefi ciary Dear Concerned, Unfortunately, yes. If the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – also known as Obamacare – gets repealed by the Supreme Court next year, it will weaken Medicare and increase costs for benefi ciaries. Here’s what you should know. Currently, about 60 million people are covered under Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older and people of all ages with disabilities. Even though the main aim of the ACA was to overhaul the health insurance markets, most people don’t realize that the law also touches virtually every part of Medicare. Without the ACA, Medicare benefi ciaries will have to pay more for preventive care services, which are now free; they’ll have to pay more toward their prescription drugs; their premiums and deductibles will rise faster; and Medicare will face insolvency much sooner because of lost funding and cost cutting measures. With the help of Kiplinger’s Retirement Report, here is a more detailed breakdown of what happens to Medicare if the court invalidates the law. Preventive care services will no longer be free: Thanks to the ACA, there’s no copayment or deductible for potentially life-saving screenings for cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. Flu shots and annual wellness visits are also free. Before the ACA, benefi ciaries had to pay 20 percent of the cost for most preventive care services, after their deductible was met. The doughnut hole will return: Since 2011 the ACA has been steadily closing the prescription drug coverage gap, also known as the doughnut hole, in Medicare Part D by requiring drug manufacturers and insurers to pick up more of the cost. The hole was fi nally closed this year with seniors paying 25 percent of the cost for both generic and brandname medications and manufacturers picking up 70 percent of the tab, while insurers kick in the remaining fi ve percent. Before the ACA, seniors paid 100 percent of Part D prescription drug expenses while in the doughnut hole. Medicare premiums and deductibles will rise faster: The ACA also curbed Medicare payments to providers to help keep Medicare Part A deductibles and copayments in check. Similarly, Part B premiums and deductibles are much lower than projected before the ACA became law. From 2011 to 2020, Part B premiums increased 23 percent. From 2000 to 2009 – the nine years before the law’s passage – Part B premiums rose almost fi ve times faster, increasing 112 percent over that period. Medicare Advantage plans will be more expensive: The ACA requires Medicare Advantage plans to spend 85 percent of premium dollars on health care, not profi ts or overhead. The plans also can’t charge more than traditional Medicare for chemotherapy, renal dialysis, skilled nursing care and other specialized services. Those restrictions dramatically lowered costs for Medicare Advantage plan enrollees. Since the ACA became law in 2010, the average Medicare Advantage premium has decreased by 43 percent while enrollment has increased 117 percent. Insolvency accelerates: The ACA extended the solvency of the program’s trust fund by eight years to 2026, mostly by fi nding new sources of revenue and slowing the growth of payments to all providers. The Congressional Budget Offi ce estimates that reversing those changes would cost the program $700 billion over 10 years, which would make Medicare almost immediate insolvent.

Al spent his childhood growing up in Revere with his parents and six siblings. After meeting the love of his life, Sheryl, they married and eventually settled down in Burlington where they raised fi ve daughters together. Al lived the rest of his life in Burlington where he made many great memories with his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. Al was a simple but special man who appreciated the little things in life. He was an incredibly hard worker who spent his adult life self employed as a ceramic tile setter. He loved being his own boss and was always home early enough to spend every evening having supper with his family. On his way home from work he enjoyed stopping into Sammy’s Deli, getting the newspaper, playing the lottery, and never forgetting to bring home candy for his children and even the neighborhood kids. Al had a love for cooking. He became an amazing cook by learning from and watching his incredible, Italian mother. He passed on his cooking expertise to his daughters teaching them how to make homemade pizza that was better than any restaurant pizza around. Some of his other famous specialties were homemade raviolis and homemade chicken nuggets and french fries. But there was nothing better than his homemade sauce and meatballs that tasted like it came straight from Italy. Our family enjoyed so many Sunday’s eating these delicious dinners together and watching sports with him. Al will forever be remembered for his Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.

His grit when times were tough outmatched anyone we knew. He thanked God every day that he was here and pressed on through even the most challenging times. He passed on to his children and grandchildren the ultimate gift of determination and fi ght. We almost counted him out so many times, but he always found a way to make a comeback. His strength and resilience will live on through his family forever. Al adored his wife Sheryl. They loved spending time together and spent many fun nights hanging out with friends in the neighborhood. They loved going out to eat, taking drives to Revere and Nahant Beach, and getting away to their favorite spot, The Union Bluff Hotel, in York Beach, Maine. While their daughters were growing up, they spent every summer creating fun family memories at Mousam Lake in Maine surrounded by family and friends. Al loved being a member of the Tuna Club in Revere and the Marconi Club in Stoneham. He always looked forward to playing cards with friends and betting on horses. His love for sports ran deep. He was an eternal fan of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Bruins, and the Boston Celtics. Al was fortunate to be able to celebrate the many championships with his beloved teams and was ecstatic when the Red Sox broke the curse in 2004. Because Al was such a welcoming man and loved by everyone who knew him, he earned the nickname, Al My Pal. There was nothing that made Al more proud than his fi ve daughters. He always said his biggest accomplishment in life was knowing that he raised good, loving kids. His motto in life was, if his daughters were happy, then he was happy, and his life was complete. We will always remember the many life lessons that he instilled in us.
