Football Pats gear up for Thanksgiving showdown against rival Winthrop By Dom Nicastro R evere High School’s football team closes its season with one of Massachusetts’ oldest and fiercest rivalries: the Thanksgiving Day matchup against Winthrop. The Patriots (5-5) will travel to Miller Field on Thursday, Nov. 28, to face a surging Vikings squad (6-4) in what promises to be an exciting chapter in the rivalry’s storied history. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. The rivalry between Revere and Winthrop began in 1913 and has spanned over a century, with only brief interruptions. Winthrop leads the alltime series, having dominated several decades, including a stretch from the 1970s to the early 2000s. However, Revere has turned the tide in recent years, winning several Thanksgiving contests in the 2010s. Last year, Winthrop came out on top, blanking Revere 22-0. “This is the biggest game of the year, no matter what,” said Revere Head Coach Lou Cicatelli. “You throw the records out when it’s Revere and Winthrop. It’s the Super Bowl for both towns.” The Vikings are coming off a 42-24 win over KIPP Academy and have won three of their last four games. Their 5-3 regular season earned them a spot in the Division 6 playoff s as the No. 12 seed, though they were eliminated in the opening round by Abington. Winthrop’s off ense is led by junior running back Seth Sacco, who has consistently impressed with his speed and elusiveness. Sacco has had multiple standout performances this season, including a 200yard, three-touchdown game against Gloucester. Senior captain Will Murphy has also been a game-changer, contributing both on off ense and defense. He amassed more than 200 allpurpose yards and a critical interception in a win over Salem earlier this year. “Sacco is their go-to guy,” Cicatelli said. “He’s shifty, strong, and tough to bring down. Their quarterback throws a good ball, and their offensive and defensive lines are very fast. They’re a well-balanced team.” Revere is looking to bounce back after a 41-6 loss to Wakefi eld ended its fi ve-game winning streak. The Patriots’ strong midseason surge included victories over Boston Latin and Everett, the latter marking their fi rst win over the Crimson Tide in 33 years. Despite the loss to Wakefi eld, Cicatelli sees an opportunity for redemption and a chance to end the season on a high note. A win on Thanksgiving would give the Patriots a winning record and add to the momentum they’ve built this year. “The kids have worked hard and stayed resilient,” Cicatelli said. “If we can fi nish with a win, especially against a rival like Winthrop, it would be a special ending to the year.” It certainly would. It would mean five out of six wins to close out the season.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 Page 3 ~ OP-ED ~ Tomorrow is Thanksgiving A bout four centuries ago, the infant Plimouth Colony was hanging on to existence by its fi ngernails. A long period of drought endangered its crops. Without rain, the settlers would die. So, Governor Bradford ordered a day of prayer, asking God for rain. Bradford’s journal said that the rains came, promptly and heavily, “so that the earth was thoroughly wet and soaked with all.” When the revived harvest was brought in, Bradford ordered another day of thanksgiving to the God who brought the rain. We don’t pray for rain much anymore, although a few churches in the corn belt do. We think of it as a little superstitious. For the same reason, we don’t thank God very much anymore. We are the losers thereby. No matter what our religious belief or lack of belief, we know in our hearts that we are not MASTERS of the UNIVERSE, that something outside of us and bigger than us brings the rain and the harvest, and all the miracles of life. We know, in our hearts, that we should thank somebody or something for these gifts. But we have nothing to be thankful for. Thanks for the gift of living, healthy children. Thanks for a strong community. Thanks for the determined and peaceful people of Revere. Yes, we have plenty to be thankful for but don’t we still have things to fear? YES. War and terrorism, age and mortality. The pilgrims didn’t give thanks because they had been delivered eternally from worry, fear and pain. They knew that their community was still in danger, as ours is. They knew a hard winter was ahead, and many hard years after it, as they may be for us. They gave thanks for what they have received already. Thank, because the act of thanking is an act of perception and recognition. When we recognize our blessings, even if only once a year, we renew our determination to retain those blessings. Finally, while you’re at it, thank the family cook for the turkey! Have a thankful Thanksgiving! More Choices. More Savings. LOCK IT IN WHILE YOU CAN. 4.25% APY* *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate of the date posted and is subject to change without notice.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 Page 5 Holiday stress can lead to heavy alcohol use T he average person takes advantage of the downtime during the holiday season. As long as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s have been celebrated, most people seize the opportunity to unwind, indulge and participate in holiday cheer, especially with alcohol. During prohibition years and in modern times, using alcohol to celebrate the holidays has never slowed. Yet, the general attitude towards moderation has changed as we better know the short- and long-term health impacts of alcohol use; the average American adult is not drinking excessively daily, weekly or monthly. Most people know alcohol is damaging to your mind and body; however, overindulgence is often encouraged during the holidays, and moderation and our knowledge of it sometimes conveniently no longer exists. A big reason for this is that even a joyous holiday season can cause stress for most individuals and families. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), nearly nine in 10 Americans say that concerns like not having enough money, missing loved ones, and family conflict cause them stress during this time of year. Unfortunately, close to two in fi ve adults who experience stress during the holiday season said they use harmful coping mechanisms, such as drugs and alcohol. While most agree that the holiday season is a positive experience, we are often encouraged to manage stress by overindulging in things like alcohol, food or even drugs, and this has never changed in our society. Advertising is geared to play on this; bars, restaurants, liquor stores and alcohol suppliers know alcohol sales increase at this time of year, and the messaging is simple — buy our product and celebrate the festive season. According to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (NCDAS), 21.1% of Massachusetts adults over 18 binge drink at least once per month. The median number of drinks per binge is 5.4, and the 25% of active drinkers in the state consume a median of seven drinks per binge. Unfortunately, there is an average of 2,760 annual deaths in Massachusetts attributable to excessive alcohol use. There are strategies and resources to help. For example, on the state’s official website, resources for children and families, such as the Samaritans Statewide Helpline (1-877-870-4673), are available to anyone in Massachusetts who is in need of emotional support. Alternatively, you can text or call 988, the crisis lifeline, to talk to someone. During the holidays, pay attention to your feelings and develop a plan for when you are feeling stressed, sad or lonely. Avoid alcohol and drugs; while this is easier said than done for some people, the holiday season presents challenges that can trigger the use of alcohol. It’s wise to recognize these triggers and avoid alcohol. If you are struggling, focus on practicing self-care and remaining connected with your friends, family or local community. Feelings can amplify for some people this time of year, making it necessary to support others. Attend your local faith community, support group, community centers or local meetups. Most importantly, know when to seek help. This can be especially important for anyone already struggling Nickolaus Hayes is a healthcare professional in the fi eld of substance use and addiction recovery and is part of the editorial team at DRS. His primary focus is spreading awareness by educating individuals on the topics surrounding substance use. with a substance use disorder or mental health issues. Don’t let the holidays become something you dread. While society tells us to indulge in certain things and throw care and caution to the wind, we can choose not to listen. Focus on the more authentic meanings of the holiday season and encourage others to do the same.

This initial release makes an early version available to riders with Apple iPhones. The MBTA plans to release a companion version for Android users in February 2025. This app, which was developed in-house and provides real-time information for all fi xed-route services, will improve communications between the MBTA and riders. It will also allow the T to share information in a more accessible way. “I really want to thank the team at the MBTA Technology Innovation Department for their work on this new app,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt. “Putting this app into the hands of many of our riders will make their trips so much more effi cient as they will be able to make decisions in the moment about how soon to go to a station stop, what MBTA vehicle to choose for a trip, and how long they’ll need to wait.

We hope users will give us feedback as we continue development,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “We want riders—whether it’s their fi rst time in Boston, or longtime residents—to feel comfortable using public transportation, and this app will be a great tool to accompany people through their trips and to keep them up to date as they navigate the system.” The app will assist riders as they navigate their commutes. Features of the application include: • Real time rider updates such estimated arrival times and train/bus tracking as they approach stops • A user-friendly system map that allows riders to click and see what service and transfers are available at each stop and station • Accessibility in six languages on day one: Spanish, Simplifi ed Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and Vietnamese • Viewable estimated arrival times for a rider’s destination stop More than 4,000 MBTA riders have piloted MBTA Go since July 2024.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 Page 9 State Fire Marshal: Serve Up Safety on Thanksgiving More Residential Fires Take Place on Thanksgiving Than Any Other Day S TOW — As you ready to prepare tomorrow’s Thanksgiving meal, State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine is asking residents to practice fi re safety in the kitchen on the number one day for home fi res in Massachusetts. “There are about twice as many fires on Thanksgiving as on the next-closest day, and almost all of them start with unsafe cooking,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Don’t let a fire ruin this special day with your family and loved ones. Practice fire safety when cooking and heating your home, and be sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that can alert you to danger.” Thanksgiving Cooking Fires There were 705 Thanksgiving Day residential fires in Massachusetts from 2019 to 2023. That’s more than double the 318 residential fi res on Christmas Eve, the second-leading day. Last year, Thanksgiving cooking fires increased by more than 25%, from 103 to 130, with 84% taking place at home. These fi res injured one resident and one firefighter and caused $1.3 million in reported damages. State Fire Marshal Davine offered cooking safety tips that everyone can follow to stay fi re-safe in the kitchen this year: Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms Save Lives • Be sure you have working smoke and CO alarms on every level of your home • Check the manufacturing date printed on the back of the alarms: smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years, and CO alarms should be replaced after 5-10 years depending on the model • Never disable a smoke alarm: modern smoke alarms should have a “hush” feature that is much safer than removing the batteries • If your alarms take alkaline batteries, replace the batteries twice a year: if you aren’t sure when they were last replaced, do it today Keep it Clean: • Clean up grease spills • Keep groceries, food packaging, towels, and other fl ammable materials away from the stovetop • Keep pot handles turned inward to prevent spills • Create a three-foot childfree zone around the stove • Only use the oven for cooking, not for heating or storage, and be sure it’s empty before you turn it on Stand by Your Pan • Stay in the kitchen when boiling, broiling, or frying food • Set a timer when baking or roasting so you don’t lose track of time • Loose sleeves can ignite if they get too close to burners or heating elements: wear clothing with short or tight-fi tting sleeves Put a Lid on It • In the event of a fi re on the stovetop, cover the pan with a lid or cookie sheet to smother the fl ames • Never try to move a burning pan or douse it with water • For a fi re in the oven or microwave, leave the door closed, turn off the appliance, and call the fi re department • Have the appliance professionally checked before using it after a fi re • If you can’t extinguish the fire quickly, get to safety and call 9-1-1 • If your clothing catches fi re, stop, drop, and roll to put out the fl ames. Put burns in cool running water for 10-15 minutes. Call 9-1-1 for help. Turkey Fryers A devastating turkey fryer fire in New Bedford caused severe injuries and displaced almost 30 people in 2020. Fire safety experts strongly discourage the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that immerse the turkey in hot oil. There are no outdoor turkey fryers that have a listing from an independent testing laboratory such as UL or ETL, and the risk of hot oil spilling or igniting is high. The National Fire Protection Association states that home use of “turkey fryers that use cooking oil, as currently designed, are not suitable for safe use by even a well-informed and careful consumer.” They recommend using new “oil-less” turkey fryers. Gas Ovens: A Source of Carbon Monoxide Generally, the confined space of a closed gas oven does not produce enough carbon monoxide (CO) to present any dangers, but it can present a hazard if used for several hours consecutively — such as when roasting a turkey. If you have a kitchen exhaust fan, use it; if not, crack a window for fresh air when using the gas oven for a prolonged period. Working CO alarms are vitally important to protect you and your loved ones from carbon monoxide poisoning. Home Heating: #1 Source of Carbon Monoxide, #2 Cause of Fires Heating is the second leading cause of fi res on Thanksgiving and the primary source of carbon monoxide in the home. Give your furnace an annual check-up, have chimneys cleaned and inspected by a professional at the beginning of heating season, and place space heaters on fl at, lever surfaces where in locations where they won’t be bumped or tripped over. Keep a three-foot “circle of safety” free of anything that can burn around all heat sources. 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 BBB Scam Alert: Don’t click on that text! Five ways to avoid delivery scams F or years now, some consumers have been getting text messages stating that a major delivery carrier needs them to “update delivery preferences” on a package by clicking a link. The problem? The texts are scams, and the links result in the theft of personal information, money or both. Most consumers love the convenience of making purchases online and having them shipped straight to their doorstep. But with millions of packages delivered each year, con artists and thieves have developed many ways to steal from shoppers. Fortunately, there are also many ways to protect yourself from their shady tactics. Popular delivery scams Delivery scams and theft are particularly prevalent during the holidays when more packages are shipped, but they can happen year-round. Scammers are hoping shoppers are busy or distracted and will act without thinking. The fi rst scams to look out for are phishing texts or emails that pose as official notices from delivery companies. These either contain a “tracking link,” a message that the shipper is having diffi culty delivering a package to you, or a link to update delivery preferences. Clicking the link either takes you to a form that asks for personally identifying information or to a site that downloads malware onto your computer. Another delivery scam involves fake “missed delivery” tags. Scammers place a note on your door that claims they are having challenges delivering a package to you. They ask you to call a phone number to reschedule your delivery, but it’s a ruse to get your personal information. A different delivery scam includes a text stating, “The USPS package has arrived at the warehouse and cannot be delivered due to incomplete address information. Please confirm your address in the link: [url] (Please reply to 1, then exit the SMS, open the SMS activation link again, or copy the link to a Safari browser and open it). The US Postal team wishes you a wonderful day.” A scam report submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker outlines how the person lost $180: “They are a supposed shipping company. They stated that my package was on hold at the airport and asked me to Zelle money then again something happened and I had to Zelle money again.” Another package delivery report to BBB Scam Tracker reads, “Received a fake text claiming it was UPS about a package delivery. The text said: [UPS] Tracking Number... Our driver can’t fi nd your address, and your package is still pending. And our driver will redeliver tomorrow. Please provide your complete address at [URL} to schedule redelivery.” Other delivery-related issues shoppers face involve package theft. Many consumers have had their packages stolen before they arrive home from work. Thieves snatch packages from doorsteps or lobbies of apartment or condo complexes. Criminals even follow delivery and postal trucks. When the truck leaves, the crooks move in and grab the parcels. How to avoid delivery scams: 1. Take precautions to ensure a safe delivery: If you have a valuable or fragile item delivered to your home, purchase shipping insurance. In addition, always get tracking numbers for your purchases and check the shipping progress periodically. 2. Watch out for texts, calls or emails about a missed delivery. Legitimate delivery services usually leave a “missed delivery” notice on your door. If you receive a missed delivery notice, examine the form carefully to make sure it is authentic, and only then follow their instructions. Keep track of what you’ve ordered to better understand what is coming and when. Don’t click on links; go to the delivery carrier’s website directly or log in and use the retailer’s tracking tools. 3. Request a signature when ordering: Chances are this feature might come with a price tag, but it might be worth the extra fee, depending on the level of package theft in your area. Requesting a signature means that a delivery service won’t be able to drop a package on your doorstep unless someone is around to sign for it. 4. Don’t leave packages sitting on your doorstep. Packages left sitting outside are particularly vulnerable to theft. To ensure safe delivery, have your package delivered to your workplace or a trusted friend or neighbor who will be home to accept delivery. Some delivery companies now have lockers where your packages can securely wait for you to pick them up using a onetime code to open the locker. 5. Open your delivery upon receipt to check for damage or signs of tampering. Contact the seller immediately if you believe something is wrong with the shipment or it’s not what you ordered. Also, review the seller’s return policy for damaged or unwanted items. For more information: Go to https://www.bbb.org/all/ holiday-hqfor more hol iday-related tips and information.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 Page 11 Leading the charge: 2024 Revere boys soccer captains anchored historic championship season By Dom Nicastro T he Revere High School boys soccer team had a season to remember in 2024, fi nishing 12-2-2 in the regular season, claiming the Greater Boston League (GBL) title and advancing to the Division 2 state quarterfi nals. At the heart of this remarkable season were the team’s three captains: Brayan Medina, Noah Gaviria and Angel Ortez. Each brought unique leadership qualities, talent and determination to the squad, laying the foundation for one of the most successful campaigns in school history. Brayan Medina: The veteran leader As a senior and four-year varsity player, Medina played a pivotal role in Revere’s midfield as a defensive anchor. Reflecting on his journey, SOCCER | SEE Page 12 Coaches Manny Lopes and Christian Mancia with Captains Brayan Medina, Noah Gaviria and Angel Ortez and Assistant Coaches Samuel Ochoa and Gerardo Rodriguez.

Page 12 SOCCER | FROM Page 11 Medina shared how he’s been immersed in soccer since the age of 5, starting with East Boston’s Soccer 1 before joining Hammer FC in West Roxbury. His experience and composure on the pitch were crucial to the Patriots’ ability to control games. “My personal goals were to stop as many plays as I can from the other team and close down gaps around the fi eld,” Medina said. “I feel like I was successful.” Medina credited the team’s success to their hard work from the summer onward. “Since the beginning of the summer, everyone got together, and we knew we had the potential to be great—we just had to work hard,” he said. For Medina, the postseason win against East Longmeadow (2-1) was the culmination of years of eff ort. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 “It felt amazing—four years of varsity soccer, and we fi nally were able to do it,” said Medina, whose team followed that win with another in the Sweet 16: 2-1 over Bedford in PKs. As Medina searches for the best college fi t to continue his soccer career, he off ers advice for the next generation of Revere players: “Work hard from the beginning. Never stop working and improving. Hard work ends up being paid.” If We Happen To Meet By Accident ... You’ll Be Glad You Found Us! BEST! Celebrating 46 Years In Business!

RENTAL CARS Available Noah Gaviria: The defensive pillar Junior Noah Gaviria stepped up as a captain and key leader in Revere’s backline, playing center back and ensuring the team maintained one of the best defensive records in the GBL. Gaviria, who has been playing soccer since he was 5, focused on improving his technical and mental game this season. “This team was so successful this year because we all played like family,” Gaviria said. “We really did and still care for each other on and off the pitch.” The team’s unity showed in big wins, particularly a dominant 5-0 victory over Everett. “It was my favorite win because when we fi rst saw them, it was a very tight game, but when we played them again, we didn’t let them do anything all game,” Gaviria said. Looking ahead, Gaviria is already focused on academics and the possibility of trying another sport before returning to lead next year’s squad. His advice to next year’s team? “Most of us know the feeling of loss, so let’s all give everything we have next season,” he said. “Even when we have nothing left, just keep on fi ghting.” Angel Ortez: the offensive maestro Senior Angel Ortez was the Patriots’ off ensive engine, fi nishing the season with 15 goals and fi ve assists. Having played soccer since age 3, with experience at the New England Revolution Academy and IFA MLS Next, Ortez brought a wealth of skill and leadership to Revere in his fi rst and only season with the team. “My main personal goal this year was winning states and the GBL,” Ortez said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t win states, but we did win the GBL. I feel very proud because this is the fi rst time Revere has made it to the quarterfi nals ever, and that’s a huge accomplishment.” Ortez credited the team’s chemistry for their success. “We connected so well as a group because we all like to troll and have fun sometimes, but when we had to focus, we all did,” Ortez said. “There were no players that thought they were better than others.” His favorite moment came during the 8-2 win over Chelsea that clinched the GBL title. “It was my favorite because I had three goals and two assists during the game. We were able to win the league in front of our own fans.” After high school, Ortez will take his talents to UMass-Boston, where he has committed to play soccer. His advice for the next Revere team is simple yet powerful: “Stay together, even in the downs. Everyone should focus at every training session as well as keeping each other motivated.” A legacy of leadership Together, Medina, Gaviria, and Ortez brought balance to Revere’s team. Medina’s grit in the midfi eld, Gaviria’s steady defensive leadership and Ortez’s off ensive brilliance created a team that thrived under pressure and elevated Revere soccer to new heights. The captains’ legacy goes beyond wins and titles—it’s refl ected in the culture they’ve built for future teams. As Ortez summed up, “We all worked hard and earned our spots in the starting 11.” For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net

Quarterback Danny Hou has provided leadership and dynamic play, including key touchdowns on both off ense and defense. Running back Yousef Benhamou has also been a reliable contributor, consistently racking up rushing yards and fi nding the end zone. “Our off ense has been eff ective because everyone knows their role,” Cicatelli said. “We’ve got a lot of talent, and we’ll need every bit of it against Winthrop.” Both teams are playing some of their best football of the season, setting the stage for a competitive and emotional game. For the seniors on both sides, it’s a chance to leave a lasting mark on one of Massachusetts’ great high school football rivalries. “It’s always a tough game in their neck of the woods,” Cicatelli said. “But I can promise you, we’ll be ready.” Turkey Day Post-COVID 2023: Winthrop 22, Revere 0. 2022: Winthrop 25, Revere 6. 2021: Revere 16, Winthrop 13. 2024 Revere High School Lady Patriots Varsity Girls’ Cheerleaders, shown from left to right: Front row: Geovanny Acetty, Jaelynn Smith, Vita Somboun, Mikayla Hayes and Ian Alvarez; second row: Briana Capunay, Anya Hayes, Gianna Guzman, Sophia Keane, Charlotte Harrity, Jessica Farro, Isabele Bocate and Heba Marouane; third row: Assistant Coach Kayle Pezzuto, Amithi Ho, Cathalina Vasquez, Isabella Marin Isaza, Cristiana Rosa, Laila Anderson, Karyna Willie, Eleni Abdula and Head Coach Sabrina Sloan.

For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net TRADITIONAL IRA CONTRIBUTIONS T here are limits that the Internal Revenue Code places on the amount of contributions that may be made to a traditional IRA. Deductible contributions may be limited when the individual (or his spouse) is an active participant in a retirement plan maintained by an employer. The application of the contribution and deduction limits are diff erent for taxpayers fi ling joint returns than for other taxpayers. An individual is not considered an active participant in an employer-sponsored plan merely because his or her spouse is treated as an active participant. However, the maximum deductible IRA contribution for an individual who is not an active participant, but whose spouse is an active participant, is phased out for adjusted gross income levels between $230,000 and $240,000 for calendar year 2024. As an example, Clyde is a participant of his company 401(k) plan. Clyde and Bonnie fi le a joint income tax return for calendar year 2024 reporting an adjusted gross income of $220,000. Bonnie may make a deductible contribution to a traditional IRA for calendar year 2024 because she is not an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan and their combined adjusted gross income is below $230,000. However, Clyde may not make a deductible IRA contribution because the couple’s combined adjusted gross income is above the present range for active participants who are married fi ling a joint return ($123,000 to $143,000 for 2024). Assume the same facts as in the above example except that Clyde and Bonnie’s adjusted gross income was $240,000 for calendar year 2024. Neither Clyde or Bonnie would then be able to make a deductible contribution to a traditional IRA. The limit of $143,000 for Clyde was exceeded and the limit of $240,000 for Bonnie was exceeded. The maximum contribution to a traditional IRA is $7,000 for calendar year 2024. It will remain at $7,000 in calendar year 2025. Catch-up contributions will be allowed for any taxpayer who will be at least 50 years of age at the end of the year. These taxpayers will be able to make an additional contribution of up to $1000 for calendar years 2024 and 2025. The maximum allowable deduction is phased out if the taxpayer is an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan. For calendar year 2024, the reduction is an amount that bears the same ratio to the maximum allowable deduction as the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income in excess of the “applicable dollar amount” bears to $10,000. For a single taxpayer, the “applicable dollar amount” is $77,000. The deduction amount becomes $0 when his or her adjusted gross income is $87,000 or more. As an example, assume Fredo’s adjusted gross income is $82,000 for calendar year 2024. $82,000-$77,000 = $5,000. $5,000/$10,000 = 50%. You then need to multiply the maximum traditional IRA contribution amount of $7,000 by 50% in order to determine the non deductible portion of the IRA contribution. Therefore, in this example, $3,500 would represent the non-deductible portion and $3,500 would constitute the deductible portion. This is the formula you would need to utilize in order to determine what deduction to actually take on your federal income tax return. When the IRA is partially or no longer deductible, it is a good time to evaluate whether or not a contribution to a ROTH IRA would make more sense. These are just some of the numerous rules surrounding traditional IRA’s. The choices are now more diffi cult to make as a result of the creation of the ROTH IRA. This IRA grows tax-deferred but does not provide for a current income tax deduction. After age 59 ?, the taxpayer can withdraw monies in a ROTH IRA and pay no taxes on the earnings, so long as the account has been opened for at least fi ve years. Joseph D.

Maura Healey. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. $2.4 MILLION FOR SCHOOLS PLANNING EXPANDED SCHOOL DAYS OR SCHOOL YEARS (H 4800) House 133-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $2.4 million for grants to cities, towns and regional school districts for planning and implementing expanded learning time by making school days and/or school years longer. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $2.4 million was eliminated. “I am vetoing this item because funding is intended for 2024 summer month programming, which cannot be implemented at this point in the fi scal year due to the need for a spring application window,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. (A “Yes” vote is for the $2.4 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $1.1 MILLION FOR STEM STARTER ACADEMY (H 4800) House 155-2, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $1.1 million (reducing funding from $4.7 million to $3.6 million) for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Starter Academy programs to be implemented at Massachusetts community colleges to benefi t student populations identifi ed by the department as having expressed a high level of interest in STEM majors and STEM careers but are underperforming on STEM academic assessments. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $1.1 million was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to an amount consistent with my [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “This budget sustains and adds substantial new funding across community colleges to support the goals of this program.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $1.1 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $500,000 FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CENTER (H 4800) House 134-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $500,000 for the Massachusetts Information Technology Center, a secure state offi ce building in Chelsea that houses multiple state agencies, including ITcentric operations for the Department of Revenue, the Department of Criminal Justice Information Systems and the Firearm Records Bureau. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $500,000 was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to an amount consistent with my [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. Supporters of the gover nor’s veto said the state signed an impact fee agreement in 1993 to pay the city of Chelsea $500,000 per year for 30 years, to cover the costs to the city of the new infrastructure that had to be built in to accommodate the new development. They noted the 30 years were up in 2023 and argued the $500,000 is no longer needed. (A “Yes” vote is for the $500,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL DON’T MISS THIS EVENT: MASSACHUSETTS IN THE TRUMP ERA — Following the presidential election, questions abound on many levels in Massachusetts about many federal policy priorities in healthcare, energy and immigration, bringing challenges on the state level. Will these priorities shift? Join MASSterList / State House News Service for a timely conversation on the potential impacts of the new administration on Wednesday, December 4 at the MCLE Conference Center (Downtown Crossing), 10 Winter Place, Boston. Networking 8 a.m., Program 9 a.m. to — 10:30 a.m. More information at: https://www.eventbrite. com/e/massachusettsin-the-new-trump - erat ickets-1083711563459? aff =oddtdtcreator CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE (S 2967) — Gov. Healey signed into law climate/energy legislation that supporters say will make systemic changes to the state’s clean energy infrastructure which will help the state achieve its net zero emissions by 2050 goals, and also expand electric vehicle use and infrastructure, and protect residents and ratepayers. “Accelerating clean energy development will create good jobs, lower costs, attract more businesses to Massachusetts and grow our climatetech economy,” said Healey. “This legislation includes important provisions to lower energy costs for families and businesses, including expanding bill discounts to middle-class households and increasing access to clean energy measures that reduce customer expenses such as solar, heat pumps and electric vehicles. These reforms will also end the years-long delays for solar, wind and other critical electric infrastructure, which play a critical role in our ability to be a global leader in clean energy and climatetech.” “This legislation advances critical updates for the siting and permitting of clean energy infrastructure, ensuring a supportive and reliable electric grid and building out electric vehicle charging infrastructure, among so many other things,” said Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House Chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. “By overhauling outdated state permitting and siting processes, the commonwealth aims to secure an equitable, accelerated buildout of clean energy generation and infrastructure that we need to reach our climate goals and power our electrifi ed clean energy future.” “This comprehensive law is a reminder of the power Massachusetts has to advance groundbreaking climate solutions—no matter who is in power in D.C.,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton), chair of the Senate Committee on Global Warming and Climate Change. “The law includes a wide range of policies that move us closer to net-zero emissions, including essential reforms to our gas system. By preventing gas investments that are both imprudent and contrary to our climate mandates, the bill will keep costs down and prevent wasteful spending of ratepayers’ hardearned money.” $3.9 BILLION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE (H 5100) — Gov. Healey signed into law a $3.9 billion economic development package that supporters say would make bold investments in life sciences, climate tech, AI and small businesses, “building on Massachusetts’ national leadership and creating an environment where businesses and workers thrive.” The package increases the annual tax credit authorization for the life sciences industry from $30 million to $40 million. Other provisions include $400 million for the MassWorks Infrastructure Program to support public infrastructure projects and create jobs;
$150 million for library construction projects; $103 million for AI in systems across the state; $100 million for infrastructure improvements in rural communities; $21 million for resilience in agriculture and fi shing; and $40 million for food science innovations. “Massachusetts is the best state in the nation to live, work, go to school, raise a family and build a future, said Healey. “That’s in large part due to our commitment to investing in cutting-edge industries that produce transformative innovations and make life better for people. The [bill] builds on this leadership, positioning us to the global hub for climate innovation and applied AI, while also growing our already world-renowned life sciences industry, culture and tourism sectors.” “From day one, we have set out to make Massachusetts the best place for individuals to pursue rewarding careers and for companies to start, scale and succeed,” said Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao. “The [bill] will help us achieve that vision. With this bill, we are positioning Massachusetts to lead for future generations.” “[We] celebrate the signing of the … economic-development bill, which provides vital support to key industries through the infusion of close to $4 billion into the state economy to ensure that the commonwealth remains competitive,” said Brooke Thomson, President and CEO of Associated Industries of Massachusetts which represents 3,400 member businesses. “[We] believe the bill enhances Massachusetts’ ability to lead in sectors like life sciences, climate technology, advanced manufacturing and applied AI.” $3.2 MILLION FOR APPRENTICESHIP GRANTS — Gov. Healey announced $3.2 million in Grants for Registered Apprenticeship Opportunities in Workforce to 29 organizations to train and place 514 apprentices across the state. The grants, which include contract renewals and new awards, leverage more than $2 million in state funding complemented by remaining support from federal funds to train apprentices in high growth industries like health care, manufacturing, clean energy and early childhood education. “Registered Apprenticeship THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 “Your voice matters, and creates more rewarding and equitable career pathways for all of our residents, while addressing our greatest workforce challenges,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “The newly announced grants will support local, regional and statewide efforts to grow and diversify apprenticeship opportunities as well as help create new programs in multiple sectors.” “Registered Apprenticeship increases access and opportunity for untapped, diverse talent to pursue a career supported by technical training combined with on-the-job training,” said Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones. “This proven model empowers individuals, especially underrepresented workers in fi elds like construction and hightech industries to advance in a career with meaningful wages, benefi ts, and the skills employers need.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “I think it’s absolutely appropriate that there be enforcement and deportation of individuals who commit crime, including violent crime. That’s very, very important. We recognize it would be devastating if there were mass raids, here and across the country, that took out people who’ve been working in this country for a long time, who have families and kids here.” ---Gov. Healey on Presidentelect Donald Trump’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants/ undocumented immigrants by declaring a national emergency. “I am joining with Sen. Peter Durant in asking Gov. Healey to make public safety a priority by allowing ICE to do their jobs. It is outrageous that an illegal immigrant was arrested for forcible rape of a child and then released back on to our streets. I cannot believe that she is turning a blind eye to protect migrants who have attacked children.” --- Senator-Elect Kelly Dooner (R-Taunton) urging Gov. Healey to cooperate with the Trump administration in deporting criminal illegal immigrants/undocumented immigrants. this is your opportunity to help us build on our successes and strengthen our movement for the future. Together, we can ensure the Massachusetts Democratic Party continues to represent and advocate for the values that matter most to our communities.” --- Steve Kerrigan, Chair, Massachusetts Democratic Page 19 Party announcing the launch of a Virtual Listening Tour to be held on Zoom, to engage with people across the state. “Our Lottery customers are passionate sports fans and super proud of our teams. By partnering with the Celtics on this exciting instant ticket, we are a state of winning for players both on and off the court.” --- State Treasurer Deb Goldberg, Chair of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission, commemorating the team’s latest title run with the launch of the Celtics Banner 18 instant ticket game, a $10 ticket that is on sale now at Lottery retailers across the state. BEACON | SEE Page 21 What You’ll Pay for Medicare in 2025 Dear Savvy Senior, I know there will be a small 2.5 percent cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefi ts next year, but what about Medicare? What will the Medicare Part B monthly premiums be in 2025, and when do the surcharges kick in for higher income benefi ciaries? Medicare Benefi ciary Dear Benefi ciary, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently announced their cost adjustments for 2025 and the increases for premiums and out-of-pocket costs for most benefi ciaries will be moderate. But if you’re a high earner, you’ll pay signifi cantly more. Here’s what you can expect to pay in 2025. Part B Premium While Medicare Part A, which pays for hospital care, is premium-free for most benefi ciaries, Part B, which covers doctor visits and outpatient services does have a monthly premium. Starting in January, the standard monthly Part B premium will be $185, up from $174.70 in 2024. That $10.30 bump represents a 5.9 percent increase, which is more than double the most recent Social Security cost-of-living adjustment which was 2.5 percent. But if you’re a high earning benefi ciary, which makes up about 8 percent of all Medicare recipients, you’ll have to pay more. Medicare surcharges for high earners, known as the income-related monthly adjustment amount (or IRMAA), are based on adjusted gross income (AGI) from two years earlier, which means that your 2025 Part B premiums are determined by your 2023 AGI, which is on line 11 of the IRS tax form 1040. Here’s how it breaks down. If your 2023 income was above $106,000 up to $133,000 ($212,000 up to $266,000 for married couples fi ling jointly), your 2025 Part B monthly premium will be $259. Monthly Part B premiums for singles with an income between $133,000 and $167,000 ($266,000 and $334,000 for joint fi lers) will rise to $370. Individuals earning above $167,000 up to $200,000 ($334,000 to $400,000 for joint filers) will see their monthly Part B premium increase to $480.90. Those with incomes above $200,000 up to $500,000 ($400,000 to $750,000 for joint fi lers), will pay $591.90 per month in 2025. And single fi lers with income of $500,000 or more ($750,000 or more for joint fi lers) will pay $628.90 per month. Part D Premium If you have a stand-alone Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan, the average premium in 2025 will be $46.50 per month for most benefi ciaries, down from $53.95 in 2024. But again, for high earners with annual incomes above $106,000 ($212,000 for joint filers) you’ll pay a monthly surcharge of $13.70 to $85.80 (based on your income level) on top of your regular Part D premiums. How to Contest Income Benefi ciaries that fall into any of the high-income categories and have experienced certain life-changing events that have reduced their income since 2023, such as retirement, divorce or the death of a spouse, can contest the surcharge. For more information on how to do this, see “Medicare Premiums: Rules for Higher-Income Beneficiaries” at SSA.gov/benefits/ medicare/medicare-premiums.html. Other Medicare Increases In addition to the Part B and Part D premium increases, there are other cost increases you should be aware of. For example, the annual deductible for Medicare Part B will be $257 in 2025, which is $17 more than the 2024 deductible of $240. And the deductible for Medicare Part A, which covers hospital services, will increase to $1,676 in 2025. That’s $44 more than the 2024 deductible of $1,632. There are no surcharges on Medicare deductibles for high earners. For more information on all the Medicare costs for 2025 visit Medicare.gov/basics/costs or call 800-633-4227.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024 Page 21 BEACON | FROM Page 19 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 18-22, the House met for a total of one hour and nine minutes and the Senate met for a total of one hour and fi ve minutes. Mon Nov. 18 House 11:04 a.m. to 11:26 a.m. Senate 11:08 a.m. to 11:59 a.m. Tues. Nov. 19 No House session No Senate session Wed. Nov. 20 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
