The commission hopes to restore the building, which was erected in 1904 to host art exhibits and performances that will showcase Revere expression and talent. This week, Elle Baker, the open space & environmental planner for the city, walked the commission through the results of structural and hazardous material assessments of the building. “The main building and the addition on the back are considered in fair condition,” Baker said. “There are no major structural defi ciencies.” But there are some probMcMackin family members, shown from left to right: in the front row are great-great nephews Blake Marshall, Craig Ashton-Marshall and Grant Ashton-Marshall, great-great niece Sydney Marshall and great niece-in-law Dana Marshall; back row: great nephew-in-law Kevin Ashton, niece Pat Marshall and great nephews David Marshall and John Marshall. Serino announces he will not seek reelection to City Council By Barbara Taormina T he City Council opened this week with a post-election November surprise.

He also said the upcoming holiday season would give potential candidates the chance to discuss possible campaigns with loved ones and friends at family gatherings. Serino briefly ran through some of the goals he set and achieved during his time on the council. He described working to bring commercial devellems. Asbestos was found in the basement and the interior paint exceeds the limits for lead. And the roof of the handsome building on Winthrop Avenue will need some work. Baker said that isn’t uncommon for a building that has been vacant for 17 years.

Late last summer, the council agreed with Councillor-atLarge Dan Rizzo’s proposal to discuss issues involving the city’s Police Department in executive session, or a private, closed-door meeting. Rizzo proposed that the council review Revere’s guidelines for chiefs of police as well as the results of a consultant hired in 2017 to assess job candidates. Rizzo also requested that Mayor Brian Arrigo appear before the council to discuss any prior or current allegations of misconduct against the current police chief and any fi nancial settlements resulting from those allegations. In addition, Rizzo asked that Arrigo provide the council with a list of disciplinary actions taken against members of the Police Department, including terminations, suspensions and reasons for them. Capizzi told councillors that the information is being compiled and he intends to present it at an upcoming meeting in December or January. He added that complications involving advertising and scheduling of executive session meetings and the requirement to inform any subject of an executive session of his right to attend the meeting has made it challenging to respond to Rizzo’s request.

Named after World War II Veteran Sgt. Charles McMackin, the site honors a Revere veteran and hero, who in April of 2022 was buried in American soil after his remains were found overseas. Since 2014, Revere Little League has not utilized the site, and the field has since become overgrown and unkept. Mayor Brian Arrigo, community members, Revere City Councillors and other local elected officials have long been supporters of cleaning up the historic ball field, but due to legal proceedings with the previous owners, the efforts have been largely stalled. In 2021, the City of Revere issued multiple State Sanitary Code violations against Revere Little League because of the state of the site, and in November of 2021 the City and Revere Little League participated in a public hearing. Since the hearing, the Revere Department of Municipal Inspections has worked in partnership with the City Solicitor’s Office and City lawyers to take over the property. As of November 7, 2022, the City owns the deed, and the site will be owned and operated by the City of Revere going forward. “For years the City has fought to clean up McMackin Field, and it has remained one of my priorities since I’ve come to office,” said Mayor Arrigo. “Us owning the site is a huge win for the City of Revere, McMackin’s family members, and for those who grew up with memories of playing on that field. We’re already getting in there and making long overdue cleanup efforts, and we’re excited to begin this next chapter at one of our most historic properties.” For now, the City’s main priority is the cleanup of the overgrown field. There are no official plans for how the City will use this property after the cleanup, but residents can expect the planning of this project to include public input opportunities. “Now that we have officially taken ownership of McMackin, we are excited that the real work will begin to get the property cleaned up,” said Revere’s Director of Municipal Inspections, Michael Wells. “In the coming weeks, crews will be on site with heavy equipment to remove the vegetation and start demo work on the structures. This is long overdue, and we will also ensure that the property is made safe and secured as we head into the winter months.”

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 18, 2022 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ Dear Editor, Motorists are illegally passing stopped school buses at epidemic levels. 41.8 million violations throughout a 180-day school year, in fact. According to the 2022 survey conducted by the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, America’s motoring public are illegally passing school buses at “epidemic levels.” Four Massachusetts children were struck by motorists who failed to stop for the bus in 2014, 2021 & 2022. Violations are increasing at an alarmingly rapid rate and motorists are not only endangering the lives of children, they are getting away with it. It’s the law to stop for a school bus on both sides of the road when the red lights are fl ashing. When the yellow lights fl ash, drivers need to slow down and prepare to stop. Red fl ashing lights and the extended stop sign indicate the school bus has stopped to let students on or off . This is one of the fi rst rules of the road we learn in driving school. Children are taught and should be able to expect that cars will stop for them so they can safely get on or off the bus and also cross the street. This is my child’s fi rst year taking the bus. I had no idea motorists were ignoring this law until I saw it for myself. I did some research and realized that unless you are driving a school bus, or actively involved in combating the problem, people have no idea how bad the situation is. I also discovered there are multiple bills “concerning the safety of school children embarking and disembarking school buses” that can be found on MAlegislature.gov and that for 11 years, the Massachusetts State Legislature has failed to pass a bill that will authorize the use of a camera system to capture live video imaging of vehicles illegally passing the school bus and would therefore enforce the law by issuing a citation in the mail. I’ve been researching this “bus stop-arm camera” program and learned that technology companies can provide the cameras and implement the program with no up-front cost to the state. Some are also fi nding that this type of video monitoring not only enforces the law but also reduces the number of repeat off enses by 98%. (STREETSBLOG 9/13/22). “At least 24 states have school bus stop-arm camera laws,” says the National Conference of State Legislatures. Technology exists, our lawmakers are aware of the problem, they can amend existing laws to work around any obstacle and yet they continue to kick this can down the road. I’ve heard privacy is a concern. Since when does the privacy of someone endangering children’s lives outweigh protecting them? I’ve been told that it takes a long time to pass a bill. While the clock is ticking, kids are getting hit by cars and drivers are getting worse. How many kids need to get hurt or killed before anything is done? Why isn’t there a massive “Stop for the bus” or “Don’t hit a kid” awareness campaign from the state? Is “minding the plows” more important than our children? Bus companies welcome the technology. Mark Healey, owner of Healey Bus Company says, “Keeping the kids safe is our number one priority. Every day we talk to our drivers about safety, we provide safety education classes regularly and we are doing everything that we are supposed to be doing to keep the children safe, but we need the public to do their part too.” This mom is doing her part. I am making some noise and talking to anyone who will listen. I also started an online petition urging the MA Legislature to pass the School Bus Stop-Arm Camera bill into law. This is a no-brainer folks – put the cameras on the outside of the buses, issue citations and reduce the number of repeat violations – all with no upfront costs to the state and taxpayers – to save kids’ lives. To support this initiative, please visit https://www.change.org/stopschoolbuspassing To voice your support, call the leader in your district and urge them to pass the School Bus Stop-Arm Camera law. Their information can be found on https://malegislature.gov/Legislators/Leadership. Maria Scheri Peabody, MA ~ THINKING OUT LOUD ~ What Veterans Day Should Mean To All Of Us By Sal Giarratani L ast week I celebrated my 56th anniversary of my enlistment soon after high school graduation with the United States Air Force. I remember November 16, 1966, like it was both yesterday and a million years ago. I was just a kid from Roxbury who joined up with a lot of other kids to do our duty and in my case avoid the draft. I like making my own choices. Did then and still do today. I graduated from the English High School of Boston on Avenue Louis Pasteur over in the Fens across the way from Boston Latin School. Back then, students still were required to take military science class and do drill. Once a week, we all traveled to school on the bus looking like the lost battalion in our World War II khakis. A few months after graduation, however, I was sitting in a real barrack in a real uniform. This time blue. I was no longer in the English Army but the real Air Force down in Lackland AFB outside San Antonio, Texas. All of a sudden, I was in the real military with a war going on halfway round the world in a place called Nam. I had older friends already over there and others who would eventually get there, too. As bad as the world looks today, it seemed that much worse back then when you were four years out of St. Francis de Sales Grammar School in Roxbury. I ended up very lucky like one of my Irish uncles, my uncle Joe Harrington. He enlisted in the Navy a few days after Pearl Harbor. He was deployed to the San Juan Navy Yard, where he did his whole wartime tour. He even met his future wife there, got married, raised four kids and called Puerto Rico his new home following the War. The only action he ever saw was on Saturday nights, as he once told me, and he once told me that World War II was the best thing that ever happened to him. I must have gotten my Uncle Joe’s good genes because I spent my time in the air force and never stepped foot out of Texas. In the 56 years since I fi nished my service, I have continued to be as active as possible when it comes to supporting military veterans. Today, I am a member of the DAV in Boston over in Dorchester, a member of the ITAM Post in East Boston and the Abraham Lincoln GAR Post 11 in Charlestown. I also work with the Veterans Voice Network here on the South Shore, helping to ensure that our older vets are getting enough food to eat, and volunteer down a monthly food distribution program put on by the Veterans Voice and WATD and WMEX in Marshfi eld. When I think of Veterans Day, I think of all those Pearl Harbor survivors I knew as a kid. I think of a World War I veteran who also rode with Teddy Roosevelt as a Rough Rider up San Juan Hill. I think of a good friend of mine who is still with us today, Col. Enoch “Woody” Woodhouse [retired]), a member of the Tuskegee Airmen unit during World War II. I also remember my great friend from Revere by the name of Morris Morris who passed away a few years ago. He never stopped working for veterans and he loved his country and praised all who served in both peacetime and in war. This Friday I plan to be marching in the City of Quincy’s Annual Veterans Parade as usual with many of my friends. All I ever ask for is that everyone else doesn’t forget how important this holiday is and turn out for the parade to thank all those who stood up for us all and to keep America free. I will be marching for as long as I can because I will not forget all the sacrifi ces made over America’s lifetime.

The City then leased it to the Revere Society for Cultural & Historic Preservation, which converted the building into a 14room Revere History Museum. While the building was successfully converted into a museum, and remains open today, insulating the walls and making the building more energy effi - cient has been impossible with outdated knob and tube electrical wiring in the walls. As a result, Northeast Metro Tech students are replacing the wiring with a modern standard electrical system while also building upon their classroom learning by applying their skills.

She further stated, “Everyone at Northeast Metro Tech has been wonderful and the students are really learning a lot from the experience. It’s not often you get to transform from knob and tube to modern electrical in a building of this size. It’s been an excellent experience for us to work with students, and it’s a great opportunity for the City to have this work done so we can make this building more energy effi cient.” 10% Off Senior Discount!

My dad always used to handle the bill paying and paperwork, but he passed away last year, and mom struggles to keep on top of things. And I don’t live close enough to help her on a regular basis. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, It sounds like your mom could use a good daily money manager (or DMM). These are financial savvy professionals that can help older adults who have difficulty managing their own day to day personal financial affairs. The types of services they provide typically includes paying bills, maintaining financial records, balancing checkbooks and negotiating with creditors. DMMs can also prepare checks for clients to sign, help older people organize bank and financial records, prepare and deliver bank deposits, gather and organize documents for tax returns, help decipher medical bills, and review bank statements in order to detect potential financial abuse or fraud. Where to Find DMMs Depending on where your mom lives, DMM services may be available through private non-profit elder assistance organizations or government agencies. These a g e n c i e s o f t e n u s e volunteers to provide basic DMM tasks, such as bill paying at no cost. To find out if this is available in your mom’s area contact her Area Aging Agenc y. Visit ElderCare.acl.gov or call 800677-1116 for contac t information. In addition to the nonprofit DMMs, an increasing number of individuals and private for-profit companies have started offering DMM services for a fee. Cost for these services varies by region but it often ranges between $25 and $100 per hour.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 18, 2022 Page 15 BBB Tip: a shopper’s guide to advent calendars A dvent calendars have become a fixture of the holiday season. Once a religious tradition for children, these calendars are now big business. They are targeted at all ages and contain anything from luxury beauty products to Lego sets to a variety of wines. With so many options, some costing hundreds of dollars, what should you know before purchasing one? The Better Business Bureau (BBB) recommends what you should know before buying an advent calendar: • Shop early. Due to their growing popularity, the best advent calendars tend to sell out early. If an advent calendar is on your list, especially if you want one with a coveted brand or product, make your purchase early. • Compare calendars. Bundled products, such as advent calendars, are hard to compare across retailers; however, do some comparison shopping first to make sure you are getting a good deal on the type of calendar you want (for example, chocolate or toys). Consider what’s inside each calendar to determine which company offers the best deal. CITY | FROM Page 1 Capizzi for the update and said he asked for a detailed account following Boston news reports about lawsuits and settlements regarding Revere police. Rizzo said councillors, who are supposed to understand how the city operates, should not learn about lawsuits and settlements through news reports. “If we’re making numerous SERINO | FROM Page 1 on a comprehensive infrastructure project to repair and revitalize Town Line Brook, which runs through the three communities and empties into the Atlantic.

The board picked up a $46,000 technical assistance grant from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council that will help with outreach strategies and case studies of other commu• Don’t expect a bargain. If you already buy something frequently, such as coffee or cosmetics, an advent calendar can be a fun, festive way to sample new flavors or products from a favorite store; however, retailers love advent calendars because they have high-profit margins, so don’t expect a good deal. • Buy from a reputable company, especially if you want to buy an advent calendar online. Make sure the online store has a reputation for good customer service, quality goods and reliable shipping and handling. If customer reviews reveal that a company is struggling in any of these areas, make your purchase elsewhere. • Be wary of misleading ads. Scam e-commerce websites often promote advent calendars through enticing social media ads. Just because something looks good in the photo doesn’t mean it’s real. The same goes for glowing customer reviews. Always research a company before you do business with them to avoid falling victim to a scam. • Count the cost. Watch out for overpriced advent calendars. In recent years, some consumers have called out luxury settlements for numerous police officers, as I’ve been told, I think we have a right to understand where our tax dollars are being spent and why they are being spent the way they are,” said Rizzo, who added that if the city is spending tax dollars on settlements, there’s got to be a problem somewhere that has to be addressed. Capizzi stressed that any discussion of a city employee’s ing residential neighborhood, which has been burdened by a heavy volume of traffic for years. But Serino said the two accomplishments which gave him the most satisfaction was the creation of a veteran’s fund and an ordinance that requires city meetings to begin at 5 p.m. to allow taxpayers an opportunity to attend. nity projects that have restored similar buildings on created art centers. McKenna initially envisioned a center with gallery and studio space and an area for teaching. But she recently spoke with a music teacher from Revere High who suggested the possibility of holding concerts at the cenbrands on social media for not delivering adequate gifts in expensive calendars. Before you purchase one, find out what it contains. Consider whether the gifts are miniature or full-size and what each product might be worth individually. Then, decide if the calendar is worth its overall asking price. • Watch out for scams. BBB gets dozens of reports each year about advent calendar scams in BBB Scam Tracker (https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker). Deals that seem too good to be true are often a telltale sign of a scam. Be very wary of products that sell for significantly more money elsewhere or are sold out on well-known sites.

While those requirements have made sorting out what can be discussed in open meeting and what must be kept in executive session complicated, Capizzi assured councillors that work on gathering the information has been ongoing and the request is not languishing. “Two full terms are an adequate amount of time to achieve my goals,” said Serino, who added that although he is leaving the council, he is not shutting the door on politics or public service. “I would certainly entertain a run for councilor-atlarge or higher office sometime beyond 2023 and a few years down the line,” he said. ter. The idea of theatrical performances naturally followed. “We could have a café and serve coffee and pastry,” said McKenna, who added that the building already has a kitchen. “It could be an array of wonderful things.” The commission also hopes to preserve and incorporate the station’s history into the plan. There is talk of a museum-style exhibit of historical artifacts from the fire department. Although the cost of the project initially kept the commission’s hopes of success in check, McKenna is now optimistic that there may be some money available for the arts center through the American Rescue Plan Act fund. Meanwhile, the commission is moving ahead with its other major initiative of installing murals throughout the city.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 18, 2022 Page 17 Carlo Demaria, Jr. vs. Everett Leader Herald, Sergio Cornelio, Joshua Resnek, matthew Philbin and Andrew Philbin, Sr. Leader-Herald Publisher celebrates his degeneracy; Globe reporter peaks Resnek’s dirty mind in email By James Mitchell (Editor’s Note: This story was published in the Everett Advocate on Sept. 16, 2022) How low can he go – very Thanks to a judge’s decision to release over 20,000 emails and texts of Everett Leader Herald publisher/reporter Josh Resnek and newspaper owner Matthew Philbin, we get a clearer insight into Resnek’s depravity, all made clearer during his fourth deposition on Sept. 1 in Boston. Resnek, in an email to his “dear friend” Russel Pergament, the founder of the defunct Tab and Metro newspapers, salivates over Andrea Estes, a reporter for The Boston Globe, in a disturbing Oct. 1, 2021, email to his friend. Resnek tells Pergament that he met with Estes and City Clerk Sergio Cornelio and his parents in a meeting at a Malden restaurant for over two hours, with the hope of Estes getting a story on the mayor’s strong-arming of Cornelio’s Corey Street commercial property deal – all of which Resnek knew was legal. Resnek, using his fabricated stories to lure The Globe into reporting about the mayor in order to hurt his reelection chances in 2011, delivered Cornelio’s parents and the city clerk himself to Estes for what he called, “a five star interview.” In his email to Pergament, Resnek writes, “Anyway, met with Andrea Estes and my people for two hours. It was a five star interview for Andrea. Funny thing or not so funny at all ... I’ve known her and communicated with her many, many times and we’ve tried the same stories on more than several occasions over the years. Yet I know nothing about the woman - and for this reason - she seems so attractive. I wonder if she’d f@#k the Blue Suit, or open his zipper and give him a good flogging. I wondered what is she about? Who is she? I told her I thought of her as a predator and this story would be a fait accompli. She laughed at the first blush about being a predator. She nodded in agreement about the fait accompli. I walked her to her car - nice legs, slim body, in shape, definitely works out, wearing Hollywood style big sunglasses. Long black hair, nice smile, an engaging smile and a full laugh at things both comical and near to pathetic which we both understood. A slender face, rigidly designed. Good teeth. I bet she’s in her mid-50’s, maybe older.” As it happened, Resnek’s “fait accompli” for the mayor would never happen – instead, just mindless meanderings from a perverted mind. But Attorney Jeffrey Robbins, the mayor’s attorney, pressed on, stating that in April 2020, Resnek was making allegations in his stories in the newspaper that the mayor was, “sexually offensive to women, engaged essentially in sex crimes, a misogynist, and sexually harassed people.” Resnek admitted that he did. The attorney then submitted evidence of emails in 2021 that Resnek had written to a friend about the articles he wrote about the mayor as well as a manuscript he was writing which included the mayor and his wife, Stacy DeMaria. Atty. Robbins then produced evidence of Resnek’s “Chelsea 1980” events when he and a friend, Arnie Jarnak, a fellow employee he worked with at the Chelsea Record newspaper, had sexual relations with multiple women – described by Resnek in misogynistic detail. Resnek, in braggadocios style, described having to pay for his third of an abortion, all the while having sex with the women’s sister, among others. “That’s what you wrote during a period when you were making these accusations against Mr. DeMaria?” asked the attorney. Resnek was advised by counsel not to answer, stating that it wasn’t relevant. But Atty. Robbins disagreed, calling Resnek’s accusations made in his articles toward the mayor malice. Robbins asked Resnek if in 2019 that he was writing that the mayor was a sexual harasser and insensitive to women and a misogynist, Resnek replied in the affirmative. Robbins then read into the record Resnek’s own words in an email. “‘I made myself busy with writing, with buildings, with the bar, with my family, and f@#king as many women I could without ever stopping to know who they were or where they were going or what they were about.’ Is that what you wrote, sir?” Again, Resnek was advised not to answer. Robbins brought up Resnek’s failed manuscript sale on Steve Wynn, in particular the section describing the mayor and his wife. When asked why he wrote about the mayor’s wife, Resnek, as he had so many times during his deposition, claimed to have no recollection of why he wrote what he wrote. “I have no recollection about why I did this,” said Resnek. “But it – never got published.” Admitting to his intention of having the manuscript published, Resnek stated that the section about the mayor and his wife – writing that they shared an open marriage and had sexual relations with others – was in the first chapter of the book. Resnek, when hearing the attorney read the passage from his manuscript, describes his own writing as odious. “Your reading it is corrosively ugly,” said Resnek to Robbins. “Did you think that it was appropriate to write about Stacy DeMaria in this proposed manuscript?” asked the attorney. Resnek’s lawyer advised his client, once again, not to answer – essentially shutting down the line of questioning. Resnek then admitted to lying about the accusations made about the mayor – some that he had also claimed in his stories and Blue Suit articles. The billionaire’s buddy During Resnek’s deposition, Atty. Robbins delves into Resnek’s relationship with billionaire Joseph O’Donnell, who was part of a group which owned Suffolk Downs and was hoping to sell the land located in East Boston and Revere to Mohegan Sun for the Class A casino license against Wynn Resorts and the City of Everett. Resnek, bragging that he met with O’Donnell on many occasions, admits in his sworn testimony that in his texts to Pergament that he had said he had known the billionaire for about 30 years but the figure was false. When asked if it was true that he told his friend that O’Donnell got his son into Harvard and that he owed O’Donnell his life, and that he did some work for him, Resnek stated that it was “partially true” but it was more exaggeration on his part. Resnek stated that he was never employed by O’Donnell but “we discussed a lot about the casino.” He claimed in his testimony that the “work” he performed was just talk about the casino business, but more about his manuscript about the casino deal that he and “partner” Walter Pavlo were hoping to sell to O’Donnell. But Resnek began to unravel when Robbins questioned about the manuscript that Resnek was hoping to sell – when he brought up the first chapter which included the mayor’s wife, Stacy DeMaria – that makes false allegations about their personal lives. Resnek claimed that he was unsuccessful in his attempt to sell the manuscript, which he titled, “Steve Wynn’s Last Dance.” Resnek admitted that he told O’Donnell in his email that the Leader Herald was a “shit ass nitwit weekly newspaper of record with me at the helm.” “You wrote to Mr. O’Donnell that Mayor DeMaria was a sexual degenerate, right?” asked Robbins. “Yes, sir,” replied Resnek. “You describe him in 2019 in an email that you sent to him as a fat useless f@#k but adored in his hometown of Everett, correct? That’s how you describe Mr. DeMaria?” asked the attorney. “Yes, sir. That’s how Greg Antonelli described him to me. That’s the mayor’s best friend,” answered Resnek. Robbins asked Resnek to explain why referring to the mayor with such derogatory names and accusations was helpful to O’Donnell wanting the mayor out of office. Resnek stated that he didn’t recall O’Donnell ever saying that to him. “Maybe he did say it – I don’t have a recollection,” replied Resnek. Sex, lies and cassette tape Atty. Robbins then presented Exhibit 58 where Resnek tells Philbin in a Feb. 14, 2019, email that he met with O’Donnell and Walt Pavlo, coauthor of his manuscript; Gary DiCicco, a developer and convicted felon; and a lawyer from New York City – where they traded information for two hours and that it was “incredible stuff.” Resnek’s information included the allegation that the mayor’s wife was having an extramarital affair with a man named Anthony Petrucelli and that the mayor asked DiCicco to intervene to make Petrucelli stop. Resnek then tried to walk his statement back but admitted that’s what he emailed to Philbin. Resnek also admitted to publishing a taped conversation between Steve Wynn and the mayor on the newspaper website, claiming that it was just left at his doorstep. When pressed by the attorney as to how he obtained the tape, Resnek stated he didn’t know, saying that the mayor was under federal investigation. But Robbins immediately corrected Resnek, stating that the mayor was never under federal investigation and making such claims under oath could lead to legal consequences against him. Resnek then stated that he never sought legal advice on posting the taped private conversation on social media – and admitted that he told his boss that they had “another big week” and should celebrate. But the Resnek’s lying would once again catch up to him when he was asked about his attempt to sell his manuscript about the Wynn casino – admitting that the mayor was a “major character” in the story. When asked about an Nov. 29, 2020, email to a book publisher named Alfred Regnery about having 20,000 visitors to his website and Facebook page, Resnek claimed it was all hyperbole. But Robbins pointed to Resnek’s attempt to further interest in his manuscript by asking Regnery to focus his attention on an article he wrote about the mayor. Resnek states in his article that DiCicco was the original land owner of the parcel that was sold to Wynn for the casino but was made a fall guy by the FBI, portraying him as a gangster. He was then asked if he used the articles he wrote about the mayor to help interest purchasers of his manuscript; Resnek replied that “all media was important.” Resnek was asked about a proposal for the manuscript by he and his writing partner Pavlo for a book deal. Resnek was again asked if he benefitted from “bringing the mayor down.” Atty. Robbins again asks, “Yeah, because he’s [Pavlo] telling you that if you, Mr. Resnek, can bring down Carlo DeMaria, it does nothing but add value to the work that you and Mr. Pavlo were doing together, right?” “Absolutely,” replies Resnek. “And you write back, ‘You know I will work with you to make this a success without question. I am going to bring down the mayor. What a thing is coming. It benefits both of us big time.’” “That’s what you wrote, correct?” asks the attorney. “Yes, sir,” replies Resnek. Next week: It’s a Philbin life.

But that aspiration was denied last Thursday night at Harry Della Russo Stadium. The Patriots fell behind the visiting Masconomet Chieftains by three touchdowns in the first half and couldn’t recover in an eventual 34-20 loss. The setback left Revere with a 4-6 record, and with no chance of a .500 or bet- LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Suffolk Division Docket No. SU22P2436EA Estate of: SUSAN INCHES BATES Date of Death: July 14, 2022 INFORMAL PROBATE PUBLICATION NOTICE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner Christopher S.

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 ter finish this fall. Trailing 21-0 in the second quarter, Sami Elasri’s one-yard TD run made it a 21-6 contest at the half. Masco would tally the next two touchdowns, one on an 80-yard kickoff return, to pretty much salt the game away. Elasri was responsible for Revere’s final two scores on two short rushing plays in the final quarter. He added a successful two-point conversion run. After being overlooked for a tournament spot last season despite going 6-2 in its first eight games and finishing 8-2 overall, Revere was awarded the 14th seed in the Div. 3 tournament with a 4-4 mark after eight games. The Patriots faced a rematch on the road with the thirdseeded and unbeaten (at the time) Plymouth South Panthers back on Nov. 3. Revere lost to the Panthers by 15 points at Harry Della Russo Stadium back in September. But the Patriots played well in the second half of that game, outscoring Plymouth 20-7 over the final two quarters. That factor gave Revere hope for a possible first-round upset. It didn’t materialize, as the Patriots were defeated by a 28-6 margin. As of the early part of the second quarter, however, it appeared as if Revere may be in position to pull off a surprise win. A short TD run by quarterback Carlos Rizo brought the Patriots within 7-6 at the time. But Plymouth’s Gio Ruberio scored on a one-yard plunge to give the hosts a 14-6 lead at the half. The Panthers, who lost to Wakefield in last week’s quarterfinal round, scored the only two TDs of the second half. Miscues and a bad break impacted the game for the Patriots. A fumbled punt by Revere resulted in the Panthers’ first-quarter touchdown. In the third quarter, an apparent fumble recovery for a touchdown by Chris Cassidy of the Patriots was called back because the Plymouth ball carrier was ruled down by contact. Revere head coach Lou Cicatelli told the press the following week that the ruled non-fumble was a key turning point in the contest but that he was proud of his team hanging in and playing the Panthers tough for four quarters. Cicatelli credited defensive lineman Jason Shosho and defensive end Walter Rodriguez with strong performances. Shosho finished with 10 tackles. On offense, running back Abbas Attoui ran for 75 leads to lead Revere in that category. Revere fell to 4-6 overall with the defeat and will end the season in the annual Thanksgiving game at Winthrop next Thursday, Nov. 24. The host Vikings carry a 6-4 mark entering this year’s Turkey Day clash. The Patriots pulled out a close 16-13-win last season. Football Patriots fall in first round to Panthers By Greg Phipps A fter being overlooked for a tournament spot last season despite going 6-2 in its first eight games and finishing 8-2 overall, this year’s Revere High School football team was awarded the 14th seed in the Div. 3 tournament with a 4-4 mark. The Patriots faced a rematch on the road with the third-seeded and unbeaten Plymouth South Panthers last Friday night. Revere lost to the Panthers by 15 points at Harry Della Russo Stadium back in September. But the Patriots played well in the second half of that game, outscoring Plymouth 20-7 over the final two quarters. That factor gave Revere hope for a possible first-round upset on Friday. It didn’t materialize, as the Patriots were defeated by a 28-6 margin. As of the early part of the second quarter, however, it appeared as if Revere might have been in position to pull off a surprise win. A short TD run by quarterback Carlos Rizo brought the Patriots within 7-6 at the time. But Plymouth’s Gio Ruberio scored on a one-yard plunge to give the hosts a 14-6 lead at the half. The Panthers (9-0) scored the only two TDs of the second half and held off the Patriots to advance to the quarterfinal round against sixth-seeded Wakefield, which advanced by knocking off Masconomet in the opening round. Miscues and a bad break impacted the game for the Patriots. A fumbled punt by Revere resulted in the Panthers’ first-quarter touchdown. In the third quarter, an apparent fumble recovery for a touchdown by Chris Cassidy of the Patriots was called back because the Plymouth ball carrier was ruled down by contact. Revere Head Coach Lou Cicatelli told the press this week that the ruled non-fumble was a key turning point in the contest but that he was proud of his team hanging in and playing the Panthers tough for four quarters. Cicatelli credited defensive lineman Jason Shosho and defensive end Walter Rodriguez with strong performances. Shosho finished with 10 tackles. On offense, running back Abbas Attoui ran for 75 yards. Revere fell to 4-5 overall with the defeat and hosted another tough opponent in Masconomet on Thursday in a non-playoff tilt at Harry Della Russo Stadium (after press deadline). Cicatelli said his team has been hit hard by injuries but is hoping to conclude the season on a high note. Wins over Masco this week and Winthrop in the annual Thanksgiving game would give Revere a winning season.

The IRS will be looking at three types of distributions to S Corporation shareholders. 1. Those of appreciated assets where the S Corporation fails to report the gain on sale of that asset in the first place; 2. When an S Corporation fails to report a distribution to a shareholder as a taxable dividend when required to do so, and 3. When a shareholder fails to report a non-dividend distribution as a taxable capital gain when the distribution exceeds his or her stock and loan basis in the S Corporation. With the IRS now receiving an estimated $46billion in additional funding towards its enforcement efforts, S Corporations need to maintain very accurate books and records, keep track of stockholder basis and loan basis, and be sure to report taxable transactions properly. Calendar year 2022 returns filed on or before March 15, 2023 will still be susceptible to an income tax audit on or before March 15, 2026. This will give the IRS virtually three years to train their newleyhired auditors just in time to still be able to audit 2022 calendar year tax returns. Certainly, 2023 calendar year returns and thereafter will be even more likely to be audited. S Corporation profits above and beyond owners’ salary that are distributed to the stockholders are not subject to payroll taxes. This is not the case with partnerships. All of a partnership’s ordinary net income from a trade or business is subject to selfemployment taxes. The IRS has created a fact sheet that serves as a guide for its agents to determine whether or not an S Cor por a tion ’ s shareholder ’s salary is reasonable. The IRS wants to collect payroll taxes on all wages in order to fund the social security system. I f a S Corpor a tio n shareholder actively works in the business and does not take any salary at all, more likely than not, the IRS will eventually catch up with that S Corporation and will look to reclassify most, if not all, of the stockholder distributions as salary and then assess the S Corporation for the requisite amount of payroll taxes. Interest and penalties would also be assessed. The IRS FS (fact sheet) 200825 sets forth a guideline for agents to use in order to determine a reasonable salary such as duties and responsibilities, time and effort devoted to the business, salaries paid to nonstockholder employees of the business, what comparable businesses are paying for the same level of service, etc. With the Democra ts maintaining the Senate, it does appear as thought the IRS will indeed be funded with an additional $86 billion, with $46 billion earmarked towards enforcement.
