Low voter turnout elects Keefe mayor in tight race New council and school board members gain seats By Barbara Taormina A cting mayor Patrick Keefe is now Mayor-elect Patrick Keefe after coming out on top in a tight race with CouncillorAt-Large and former mayor Dan Rizzo in Tuesday's election. According to results posted by the Elections commission, 9,653 people or 31.27 percent of registered voters turned out at the polls. Keefe ended the night with 4,929 votes or just over 51 percent of the total while Rizzo captured 4,561 votes or just over 47 percent. The new high school was a key issue in the contentious campaign with Keefe favoring a new high school at Wonderland and Rizzo supporting the plan to build on the existing site. Keefe did well throughout the wards and in particular Ward 4 which he represented for years as a city councillor and Ward 3, the location of Revere High. Rizzo had pockets of strong support in wards 5 and 6. "I'm so proud of you, Revere," said Keefe during a brief appearance on Revere TV Tuesday night. While voters opted to stay the course in the mayoral race there will be signifi cant changes on the city council. Incumbents Marc Silvestri and Anthoing Mayor Patrick Keefe will conduct their 18th annual Veterans Day program on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at the Beachmont VFW 6712 (150 Bennington St. in Revere) at 5:00 p.m. on behalf of the Veterans of Revere. Invited guests are retired military personnel from the Veterans Home at Chelsea. A Chinese food buff et will be served at a cost of $20.00 per person. Dancing will follow the event and dinner to the music of DJ Alan LaBella. Anyone wishing to purchase a complete table of 10 in advance may call 781-244-7430. Individual tickets are being sold at the Revere Veterans Office at 249 Rear Broadway, Revere and by Al Terminiello, Jr. and Ira Novoselsky. Payments must be made by Monday, November 7, 2023.

"I'm thrilled, I worked hard for this…I was very surprised and pleased with the numbers," said McKenna during about election night interview with Revere TV. McKenna captured 63 percent of the ward's 1,500 votes. Opponent John Stamatopoulous ended the night with 402 votes or nearly 27 percent. The Ward 2 race between incumbent Ira Novoselsky and challenger Danielle Osterman was much closer but Ward 2 gave Novoselsky more than 48 percent of their vote. Osterman fi nished with 42.5 percent of the ward's vote or 47 votes behind Novoselsky. Revere elected three new AtLarge councillors, Robert Haas, Jr., Juan Pablo Jaramillo and Michelle Kelly. VOTERS | SEE Page 23 Mayor Patrick Keefe and Councillor-At-Large Dan Rizzo together raised $422,750 in campaign contributions; add in the $80,186 raised by CouncillorAt-Large Gerry Visconti and the nearly $15,000 in campaign contributions to Councillor-At-Large Steven Morabito, who both ran in the Preliminary Election, and Revere’s mayoral race cost nearly enough to pay for the new high school. According to reports filed with the state’s Offi ce of Campaign Finance, Keefe took in $195,474 in contributions, while Rizzo reported receiving $227,276. During the campaign, Keefe and Rizzo frequently remarked about who was donating to their opponent. Keefe’s long list of donors included dozens of city employees and a notable number of large donations from developers, construction companies and real estate professionals. Rizzo’s supporters were generally Revere residents who contributed an average of $50. Keefe reported $176,612 in campaign spending while the Rizzo campaign spent $180,186 wooing voters. While those fi gures are significant, they are dwarfed by the $417,476 former Mayor Brian Arrigo spent in 2019 which the Offi ce of Campaign Finance reports equaled more than $57 for each vote. Back in 1991, reporter Melissa Lee published an article in The Harvard Crimson that began with the premise that 20 grand was the minimum amount needed to make a serious run for a seat on a city council. Although not all Revere City Council candidates have filed their campaign fi nance reports, the majority of those who have reported their numbers are below that threshold. In the most recent campaign fi nance reports for the At-Large race, Michelle Kelly reported the highest number of receipts with $30,025 in campaign contributions. Juan Pablo Jaramillo received $26,217.

The "Murray Burnstine Memorial Concert" program includes Johannes Brahms brilliant Fourth Symphony and music of French composers Gabriel Faure and Cecile Chaminade, with fl utist Lisa Hennessy as guest soloist in Chaminade’s "Concertino for Flute." Burnstine, who played clarinet with the NSPO for nearly 30 years, died in June at the age of 94. "Murray was self-deprecating and easy going, with a dry sense of humor, yet fi ercely dedicated to his music," said Music Director Lehmann. "He was an experienced, veteran player in many genres, always up for something challenging and new and he loved making music with his colleagues." Lehmann touted the concert program.

"Faure’s Masques et Bergamasques epitomizes this sensibility in that it pays homage to France's rich musical and literary heritage. Brahms, on the other hand, was expected to represent the traditional Teutonic world of rich, heavy and 'learned' compositional elements." Lehmann noted, though, that Brahms "… slyly pays homage to the same "Classical" elements while pushing the limits of what could be accomplished in developing a whole 45-minute symphony from one strand of musical DNA."

Heating equipment is the #1 source of carbon monoxide at home and the second-leading cause of residential fi res in Massachusetts. “As the nights and mornings get chillier, many of us are turning up the heat for the fi rst time since the spring,” said State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine. “Be sure you’re heating your home safely. That means having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of the dwelling, having your appliances professionally checked, and keeping heat sources clear of anything that can burn.” “Last week, the Revere Fire Department responded to a threealarm fi re that started with an older furnace that hadn’t been professionally serviced in years,” said Revere Fire Chief Christopher Bright. “Working smoke alarms alerted residents to the danger, but the home is a total loss. No matter how you heat your home, please be sure your heating appliances are operating safely.” Fire offi cials said there have been more than 6,000 heating fi res in Massachusetts over the last five years. These fires claimed eight lives, caused more than 140 injuries to fi refi ghters and residents, and contributed to over $39 million in damage. And in 2022 alone, Massachusetts fi re departments reported fi nding carbon monoxide at nearly 5,000 non-fi re incidents. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Every household needs working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of their home. Check the manufacturing date on the back of your alarms so you know when to replace them: Smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years, and carbon monoxide alarms should be replaced after fi ve to 10 years depending on the model. If your alarms take alkaline batteries, put in fresh batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. If it’s time to replace your alarms, choose new ones from a well-known, national brand. Select photoelectric smoke alarms with a sealed, long-life battery and a hush feature. Natural Gas and Oil Heat: If you have a furnace, water heater or oil burner, have it professionally checked and serviced each year. This will help it run more effi ciently, which will save you money and could save your life. Always keep a three-foot “circle of safety” around the appliance clear of anything that could catch fi re. Never store painting supplies, aerosol cans or other fl ammable items near these appliances. If you smell gas, don’t use any electrical switches or devices: Get out, stay out and call 9-1-1 right away. Residents struggling to pay HEATING | SEE Page 18 Lawrence A.

They practice fi rst under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fi re conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate profi ciency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fi re attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fi res to multiple-fl oor or multiple-room structural fi res. Upon successful completion of the Career Recruit Program, all students have met the national standards of NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifi cations, and are certified to the levels of Firefighter I/II and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operations by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifi cations. Today’s fi refi ghters do much more than fi ght fi res Modern fi refi ghters train for and respond to all types of hazards and emergencies. They are the fi rst ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to gas leaks to industrial chemical spills. They might be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice, an offi ce worker stuck in an elevator or a motorist trapped in a crashed vehicle. They test and maintain their equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), hydrants, hoses, power tools, and apparatus. At the MFA, recruits learn all these skills and more, including the latest science of fi re behavior and suppression tactics, from certifi ed fi re instructors. They also receive training in public fi re education, hazardous material incident mitigation, fl ammable liquids, stress management and self-rescue techniques. The intensive, 10-week program involves classroom instruction, physical fi tness training, fi refi ghter skills training and live fi refi ghting practice. The MFA provides recruit and in-service training for career, call and volunteer fi refi ghters at every level of experience, from recruit to chief offi cer, at campuses in Stow, Springfi eld and Bridgewater.

LIHEAP is a free, statewide service funded by the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program that helps eligible households stay warm during the winter months by paying a portion of their winter heating bills. Applications for home energy assistance are currently being accepted online at toapply. org/massliheap – income-eligible households may receive fi nancial help to off set heating bills from November 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. Both homeowners and renters can apply online or through local administering agencies for LIHEAP assistance. Households must meet specific eligibility requirements to qualify for aid, which will be paid directly to their heating vendor. Eligibility is based on several factors, including household size and combined gross annual income of residents 18 and older. Qualifying households – including those with the cost of heat included in the rent – can receive assistance for all sources of heat, including oil, electricity, natural gas, propane, kerosene, wood and coal. “The Massachusetts home energy assistance program is free, because no resident should have to worry about heating their home during the wintertime,” said EOHLC Secretary Ed Augustus Jr. “High fuel costs can have a devastating eff ect on household budgets and can even endanger Massachusetts’ most vulnerable residents. We encourage anyone who needs heating assistance to explore their eligibility by applying online or visiting the nearest administering agency.

Carpentry students were the fi rst to visit the site – on Sept. 19. Representatives of Gilbane outfi tted the students with hardhats, gloves, safety glasses and high-visibility vests. The group attended Gilbane’s site orientation for the project, which highlighted Gilbane’s safety and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, as well as the team’s detailed logistics plan for this large-scale Vocational High School project. This was followed by a comprehensive tour of the project site, where site clearing activities had recently commenced. The Gilbane team explained the project schedule, including identifying upcoming activities, including the extensive ledge blasting and on-site processing of the ledge materials for reuse on the project site. The construction site is being cleared, so Northeast Metro Tech students tour school construction site, view ongoing work An on-site sawmill is being used to cut lumber taken from the construction site into workable blocks of wood for students in the Northeast Metro Tech Carpentry program to use in projects.

(Courtesy Northeast Metro Tech) students got to see the grand scope of the construction project, and they learned that nothing from the site goes to waste thanks to coordination between project managers and Northeast Metro Tech. Some of the trees that were removed will be used for river reclamation, in which they are placed in nearby rivers and streams to support wildlife habitats. The smaller trees and brush were made into wood chips, rolled into fabric and placed around the site for erosion control. The lower quality trees will be used to make pallets for shipping, and the higher quality trees will be used to make furniture and interior trim and moldings. Quite a few of the pine and oak trees that were cleared were saved for the Carpentry shop sawmill. These trees will be cut into slabs to be used for future shop woodworking projects. “It was an exciting trip,” said Angel Santana, of North Reading. “They explained every step they’re taking to make our new dream school.” “It was exciting to see the new school,” said Lucas Subtil, of Woburn. “I found the experience interesting and I look forward to seeing the fi nished product,” said Nour Achab, of Revere. “I want to thank Gilbane and PMA Consultants for opening up the construction site to our students so they can see fi rst-hand how professionals work in an active project site,” said Superintendent DiBarri. “Gilbane and PMA have been great partners throughout this project, and by inviting our students to see their work they are helping our students further their education.” Additional work ongoing at the site includes construction activities outside of wetland areas, as the project team awaits a decision from the Department of Environmental Protection regarding a superseding order of conditions for wetlands work. Maine Drilling & Blasting, the blasting subcontractor for the project, began work on Oct. 12 within the area that will become the new parking lot. Leading up to the start of blasting work, Main Drilling & Blasting installed fi ve seismograph instruments around the area to measure and record ground and air vibrations following each blast. Blasting operations are scheduled to continue through the end of January, with one to two blasts expected each day. Anyone who would like to sign up for pre-blast notifi cations can call Esta Falvey at Main Drilling & Blasting at 508478-0273. A pre-blast notifi cation text will be issued to those who have signed up prior to each blast. Meanwhile, sitework subcontractor J.R. Vinagro is in the process of hammering the blasted rock ledge pieces to 24 inches or less, and will use rock crushing machinery in mid-November to repurpose the blasted rock into structural fi ll for the site.

Robbins asked him about an Oct. 2021 text to Resnek. The text ordered him not to distribute an edition, telling Resnek he did not want any of those papers “to see the light of day.” When asked if it was a strong suggestion to his reporter, Philbin agreed that it was a “very strong suggestion,” as he’s the owner of the newspaper. “To the person who reported to you, correct?” asked the attorney. “No, Josh didn’t report to anybody,” said Philbin, stating that Resnek had “fi nal say” and that Resnek didn’t report to him. Atty. Robbins asked Philbin if he was aware that Resnek had apologized under oath to the mayor at Resnek’s recent deposition. Philbin stated that he wasn’t aware of what his corrupt reporter was apologizing for and that he told him that he’d “probably read in the paper that I apologized for any mistakes that I made in the paper.” Philbin said he didn’t ask Resnek to clarify the mistakes he made, but instead stated that he said, “That’s good.” “And since you said ‘‘that’s good,’ has the Leader Herald apologized to Mr. DeMaria?” asked Robbins. Philbin replied that he didn’t know; that he never gave Resnek instructions to apologize or to issue a retraction. Despite Resnek’s recent intentions, Philbin or the newspaper have yet to follow through on any attempt at an apology. Atty. Robbins asked Philbin, given the fact that Resnek, under oath, apologized to the mayor for writing falsehoods, should the newspaper retract them, or inform their readers that the articles they published were admitI tedly false; Philbin replied, “No, I did not.” Philbin also testified under oath about if his newspaper had ever set procedures or constituted a policy to ensure that the newspaper only publishes accurate articles; Philbin said he did not, and that he didn’t recall. “Have you taken any steps at all to ensure that articles published by your paper be accurate?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I have not,” said Philbin. “I believe that Mr. Resnek, as the reporter and editor, would do so.” When asked if the newspaper had taken any steps since the lawsuit was fi led against them in 2021 to ensure that they do not publish false articles again, Philbin stated that he may have had a conversation with Resnek about it but couldn’t remember the exact date. Philbin was asked if he was aware that the insurance company that held the libel and slander policy for his newspaper might not cover his current legal expenses; Philbin said he was concerned and may have had conversations about the situation with Resnek. Philbin was presented with an exhibit of a Jan. 15, 2023, email conversation between Resnek and his friend, Russel Pergament, a local publisher, including of the long defunct Metro newspaper, where Resnek asked Pergament for advice regarding the Utica Insurance Company refusing to renew the newspaper’s policy. “As of this week, we are publishing without insurance, which I hate to say, is a very bad place to be in today’s litigious world,” stated Resnek to his pal. “For my partner, it is as you suggested a move toward extinction. He does not want to go on without insurance.” Philbin admitted that he had talked about the issue, admitting that he felt it wasn’t a good idea to continue publishing without insurance. When asked why Resnek told Pergament that he and Philbin were partners, Philbin said that Resnek used that word “pretty loosely” – and that he believes he uses that word with a lot of AA.

The legitimacy of the newspaper company, Dorchester Publications, LLC and its ownership appeared front and center when Philbin was asked if he was aware of any articles of organization, operating or management agreement, documents that spell out management responsibilities; the name of the manager or even the identity of the ownership. Philbin stated he did not. “Are there any documents of any kind that identify the purpose of Dorchester Publications?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I don’t know,” said Philbin. The witness continued answering that he didn’t know of any documents which proved that he owned Dorchester Publications, documentation identifying an owner, offi cers in the company or any documents refl ecting the company’s agreement to borrow money. Philbin admitted that there possibly were signatories for several bank accounts for Dorchester Publications, which may or may not have included former Operations Manager Elena Vega and former employee Nicole Porcella, but he confi rmed that Resnek had access since 2017. Philbin stated that there were never any written agreements between Dorchester Publications and the newspaper’s employees, including Resnek, Mary Schovanec or Lorenzo Recupero. Asked about the newspaper offi ce on Church Street, Philbin admitted that Dorchester Publications is a “tenant at will” with the owners of the building, who happen to be himself and his brother, Andrew Philbin, Jr., an Everett firefighter and rooming house owner. Philbin said he couldn’t identify any written lease between the Dorchester Publications and the entity which rents property. The questioning returned to the newspaper articles, this time an exhibit of an Oct. 11, 2023, “Eye on Everett” article where Resnek writes at the beginning of his “Blue Suit” article a disclaimer reminding readers that it’s all fi ction, writing, “It is all made up. Everything I tell the Blue Suit and everything the Blue Suit tells me is all made up. We don’t use tape recorders. We don’t conduct interviews. We don’t take notes for these columns. In other words, these columns are a fi ction, a spin.” Philbin was asked when he instructed Resnek to start publishing the disclaimer in his column; he replied that he didn’t and wasn’t aware when Resnek started. Asked if he remembered Resnek saying that his articles were fi ction and all “made up” prior to the lawsuit, Philbin said he did. Atty. Robbins then produced exhibits of emails dated Sept. 29, 2020, between Resnek, Joseph Prezioso and Lorenzo Recupero from James Mahoney, the former newspaper designer, of the Everett Leader Herald Oct. 1, 2020, edition where Resnek states in his Blue Suit article, “’Then the mayor comes back with his lackeys claiming I write articles without sourcing them. That’s a joke,’ I said. ‘Everyone paying close attention to the Leader Herald knows I’m right on the mark about what I have to reveal about the mayor and his cronies.’” Philbin acknowledges Resnek’s article, which continues, “‘The Leader Herald prints the truth. The truth is a terrible weapon of aggression,’ the Blue Suit said.” The mayor cringes at your story telling about him. It drives him crazy, this column from week to week. He hates it. You reveal nearly everything he does wrong. Everything he is sneaking.’” Philbin said that he doesn’t remember Resnek sending him the draft but is shown an email between him and Resnek at 6:30 p.m. – an hour after he sent him the draft article; in the subject line, its states, “The Eye – enjoy” – Philbin emailed back to Resnek, “How bout [sic] what a loss for the City.” Asked what he meant by his suggestion to Resnek, Philbin stated that he didn’t know what he was commenting about when he replied to Resnek. Robbins again asks Philbin to read what the subject line in his reply to Resnek states; Philbin replies, “Subject: The Eye – enjoy.” Philbin is then asked to read the subject line in his response to Resnek; Philbin states, “Oh, regarding the Eye – enjoy.” In another exhibit of the “Eye on Everett Blue Suit” column, in a June 4, 2019, email between Resnek, Philbin and Alex Yates, Philbin is shown the draft article titled “The Mayor and I talk about Life, Donuts and Money.” Resnek begins by referring to the mayor as “Kickback Carlo,” falsely writing about how the mayor was involved in a “number of incidents” involving women at his donut shop and city hall, and in one incident where he held a knife to a woman’s throat. The second page describes how the mayor received bribes, free gas from a local gas station owner whose daughter he employed, a free Mercedes from his father-inlaw, free dry cleaning and landscaping. Philbin was asked to confi rm if the article was sent to him prior to publication; he agreed, but pointed out to the attorney that there was an “Editor’s Note” disclaimer that the column was all fi ction – but this time it appeared at the end of the article. Atty. Robbins asked him why it wasn’t placed at the beginning of the column; Philbin stated that he didn’t know but it was satire and he printed it. “Did you give instructions that it be described as satire? asked the attorney. “No,” replied the witness. Philbin was then asked if he ever instructed his corrupt reporter that he should make sure that the Blue Suit articles were described as fi ction; Philbin answered, “Not that I recall.” In another incriminatory piece of evidence, Philbin is presented with an exhibit which shows a draft of an article written by Resnek and sent to Philbin the day before the paper went to press. The article is titled “An Open Letter to Andrew Lelling” (the US district attorney) – Resnek invites Lelling and an FBI agent Elio to Everett in order to investigate “Kickback Carlo” as, he writes, he’s “in his tenth year of organized, obscene, uniquely disguised municipal theft and greed.” Resnek’s obscene drivel states that he “has knowledge of the kickback, including one who says he can identify how Kickback Carlo is paid,” among other false claims. “Did Mr. Resnek ever present you with any evidence that Mr. DeMaria had ever taken a kickback?” “No. I don’t think he ever produced any evidence,” replied Philbin. “Did you ever ask Mr. Resnek if he had any evidence that Mr. DeMaria had ever committed any kind of theft or crime?” asked Atty. Robbins. “No. I don’t believe I did,” he replied. Asked if there was anything in that article which says that what is written is satire, Philbin says, “I don’t see anything in this article that suggests that, no.” “When you read the article just a moment ago, Mr. Philbin, did anything in there indicate to you that Mr. Resnek was saying it was fi ction or satire or shouldn’t be believed in any way?” “No,” was Philbin’s answer. ׉ 7cassandra://L22V2XNUa-mF38_nIrEEdRPIcb53Nax-TrlXAYopi0c'`̰eMYU-׉E:THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2023 Page 13 ׉ 7cassandra://6oky_uQijtECt1YZKd23meHNjv1oqdXJqpt_xGwF6tQ!=`̰eMYU-eMYU- PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://wEDQGdGi7aSFKaiAb7zo0monlAknakOfil7huP-I0tA`)׉ 7cassandra://UBtvisPQzl6GH5PmFIDFNMdbmoJMxjEJPKgCB_LmYCYͪ8`J׉ 7cassandra://lohLDNoMgC_HMcIji9I4iNu5Fd7h-dyQ7mPMQ3_RbuQ4;`̰׉ 7cassandra://Gs3Y09NieQ0bzyBqf6tcFmnkqfS6ip_qbfvQRoLSsbU|< ͠eMYX-"ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://CJQsJklblRkRSFFNUyTaJ0PvQvz_MIyGbWX-Q78H0Yw`)׉ 7cassandra://gvyyI9GOX6jxxFVH-uK4HACM3HWdXZjk-CDYUgQdF1oͪb`J׉ 7cassandra://q_G3QeVz1o6xdP1gv_gISkUX_iT76hyTwNS5mssC4J44n`̰׉ 7cassandra://ridOP3gmJldw0sED2jmQ86pNNBAjiBdiVvqKy1dOuuM ! ͠eMYX-#נeMYY-&W9ׁHmailto:Info@advocatenews.netׁ ׁ Ј׉E [Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2023 RHS Patriots Varsity Football Players & Cheerleaders Honored on Senior Night Revere senior co-Captain Abbas Atoui with family members, pictured from left to right: brother Reda Atoui, father Ahmad Atoui, mother Linda Fayad and brother Alaa Atoui.

(Advocate fi le photo by Tara Vocino) By Dom Nicastro G eovani Woodard has done his fair share of work for the Revere High School football team. With several players going down with injuries early in the season, the junior running back received a boatload of carries out of the backfi eld. Woodard and the Patriots faced many challenges shorthanded and started 0-5. Woodard showed exactly what he’s capable of against Beverly at Hurd Stadium last week, and the Patriots benefi ted in a 42-21 win over the Northeastern Conference Panthers in a consolation round game. Woodward scored four touchdowns and absolutely sliced and diced the Beverly defense. It was almost like the perfect reward for Woodard for grinding it out for Revere those fi rst fi ve games. With most of those injured players back, the Patriots have won three out of four games, two in a row, and improved to 3-6 overall as they host Gloucester in the fi nal consolation round game Thursday night, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. “First off it felt amazing to have a breakout game like that especially when I’ve been trying my best to perfect my craft during practice and the off season,” Woodard said. “I feel like the work I put in throughout practice and the off season is really paying off. Although there have been some injuries, we have teammates ready to step up and go do their part on the fi eld. Them doing their jobs is what led us to these past two wins. This is a game of 11-on-11 and having players ready to step up helped accomplish that win on Saturday.” Revere scored on its fi rst drive to take a 7-0 lead when Woodard found the end zone from 15 yards out. The Patriots doubled their lead when defensive whiz Ahmed Bellemsieh recovered a fumble from 41 yards out and scored. Woodard then scored from 20 yards out for Revere for a 21-0 lead. His third touchdown of the day gave Revere a 28-7 edge. Danny Hou got into the end zone for the Patriots later for a 77-yard touchdown run, and Woodard finished things off with his fourth touchdown of the day and a fi nal score of 42-21. “It’s hard to say who paved the way; there aren’t any individual players I could call out,” Woodard said. “In my eyes everyone on the offensive line [Ethan Romagos, Nico Aguirre, Bryan Maia, Rafael Teixeira, Carlos Jimenez, Walter Rodriguez] played an outstanding game leading to that victory Saturday morning. I wouldn’t have played such an amazing game without my offensive line leading the way for me.” The Patriots – red-hot – now face a Gloucester team that drew the No. 16 seed in the Division 5 playoff s and lost to No. 1 Hanover, 42-16. The Fishermen are 5-4 and have lost two out of three, falling to Peabody, 28-7, and beating Beverly, 42-21. What has been the key for Revere in the last three victories? “I feel as a whole we started sticking together more towards the second half of the season,” Woodard said. “The chemistry we’ve created is starting to mesh well especially with the coaches and captains being there and pushing us through every given circumstance. We have just been getting better and better throughout the season. My message to my team is to just to give it your all and to play your best Thursday night. If we play how we played against Beverly I’m positive we’ll walk out that game with a three-game win streak.” Senior captain Abbas Atoui said a big diff erence between now and the beginning of the season is how much the team wants it. “We got a huge win against Somerville and ever since, we have kept our foot on the gas getting better and better every week,” Atoui said. “We are more aggressive on defense with everyone fl ying to the ball and carrying out the off ensive schemes perfectly.” What will be the keys to fi nishing up strong in the last two games of the season starting with Gloucester and ending on Thanksgiving Day against Winthrop (at home, 10 a.m.)? “We know Gloucester is a really good team, but so are we, and I believe if we shut down the QB we will have a good game,” Atoui said. “We have a couple players injured including myself so it will be tough but I believe we’ll get the job done. As a captain, I just want us to play as best we can. After this week’s game I want us to lock in on the Thanksgiving game. I want us to leave everything out there on the fi eld Thanksgiving morning and end the season on a good note with no regrets. I believe if we show up and play our best, we will win, and that’s exactly what I’m expecting us to do.” lating a Massachusetts estate tax that might be due for a nonresident decedent is calculated the same way as the gross estate is calculated for a Massachusetts resident. The estate tax liability of a nonresident decedent is simply based on the percentage of real property and tangible personal property located in Massachusetts in relation to the entire estate of the nonresident decedent. This is per Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 65C, Section 4. If you are a Florida resident and have a vacation home, rental property or tangible personal property such as a boat located in Massachusetts with a total value of $1million and your gross estate is $5million, the Massachusetts preliminary estate tax under the new tax law with a now $2million exemption would be $280,800. This is also assuming deductions have been taken on the estate tax return in the amount of $100,000. If you divide $1million by $5million, or $20%, and multiply that fi gure by $280,800, you arrive at a fi nal estate tax due to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the amount of $56,160. This is why Massachusetts nonresidents will often transfer Massachusetts real estate into an LLC in order to convert the ownership into personal intangible property and not have the real estate included as part of the calculation of the Massachusetts taxable estate. Even ownership of a boat could be transferred to an LLC. Additionally, the membership interest(s) in the LLC can be transferred into a living trust in order to avoid probate in the event of the member’s death. This is set forth in Estate of Henry L. Nielson v. Commissioner of Revenue, Appellate Tax Board Docket No. F232365 (Mass. App. Tax Bd. February 15, 2001). Keep in mind that if you are a non-Massachusetts resident, live in a state that does have an estate tax, and you do have real estate located in Massachusetts resulting in a Massachusetts estate tax upon the death of the decedent, Massachusetts does not allow for a foreign death tax credit based upon state estate taxes assessed on that Massachusetts real estate by the state that you are residing in. Massachusetts residents should contact their state representative or state senator to push for Massachusetts portability. The federal government provides for portability. This would mean that if a husband dies and leaves his half of the total marital estate of $4,000,000 to his wife, without any complicated trust planning, his wife would have the benefi t of not only her $2million exemption, but that of her husband’s. If she subsequently dies with a $4million estate, no Massachusetts estate tax would be due. With no trust planning, and no portability option available, upon the wife’s subsequent death with a $4million estate, the Massachusetts estate tax will be $180,800. Quite a big diff erence.

We just came up short.” St. Mary’s scored two quick goals. Revere then moved the ball up fi eld, earning a free kick that Ari Pina took and scored, making it 2-1 halfway through the fi rst half. Nisrin Sekkat saw more shots in the fi rst half of this game than she did all season; she made a handful of saves in the fi rst half. Revere’s defense in front of her was led by Pina, Giselle Salvador, Fatima Oliva and freshman Emily Torres. “St. Mary’s was just a bit stronger and fi nished their runs which is how they scored the third goal before half,” O’Donnell said. The Patriot midfi eld was led by Catalina Chizavo, Samarah Paiva, Erika Mejia and Sandra Torres, who moved the ball well and launched some great shots on the St. Mary’s goalkeeper but just couldn’t put one in.

No matter what type of heating equipment you use, LIHEAP might be able to help you pay your winter heating bills or maintain your heating system. All Massachusetts residents are encouraged to explore eligibility for this free program and apply for assistance. Solid Fuel Heating: If you use a fi replace or a stove that burns wood, pellets or coal, always keep the area around it clear for three feet in all directions. This circle of safety should be free of furniture, drapery, rugs, books and papers, fuel and any other fl ammable items. To prevent sparks and embers from escaping, use a fi replace screen or keep the stove door closed while burning. Use only dry, seasoned hardwood and don’t use fl ammable liquids to start the fire. To dispose of ashes, wait until they are cool and shovel them into a metal bucket with Leal, Adrianna Cataldo all got shots on the goalie and made some great plays. Giselle Portillo and Amina Baroudi stepped up and played great defense when they entered the game. Sekkat ended up hurting her hand in the fi rst half the of game and then was taken out with about 20 minutes left in the game. Zahraoui stepped up and brought out the goalie gloves and made fi ve awesome saves and only gave up two goals. “We ended the season 16-21 which is an amazing season, and the girls put in a lot of hard work this whole season and really came together to play like a whole team not a team of individuals,” O’Donnell said. “Our eight seniors really showed true leadership and that if you work hard, you will get great results. Whether you were a starter or a bench player each person challenged each other and supported each other all season long which made a huge diff erence this season. I am so proud of all the accomplishments that every single player on this team gave me and coach Rivera all season. As a coach you have your ups and downs but these young ladies made going to practice and games enjoyable this season because we knew they were going to work hard and push each other to their a lid and place it outside at least 10 feet away from the building. Have your chimney and fl ue professionally inspected and cleaned each year. Most chimney fi res are caused by burning creosote, a tarry substance that builds up as a fireplace, wood stove or pellet stove is used. If burning creosote, sparks, embers or hot gases escape through cracks in the flue or chimney, they can cause a fi re that spreads to the rest of the structure. Annual cleaning and inspection can minimize this risk. Contact the Massachusetts Chimney Sweep Guild or Chimney Safety Institute of America to identify reputable local companies. Space Heaters: Keep space heaters at least three feet from curtains, bedding and anything else that can burn. Plug them directly into a wall socket, not an extension cord or a power strip, and remember that they’re for temporary use. Always turn a space heater off when you leave the room or go to sleep. When purchasing a space heater, select one that’s been tested and labeled by a nationlimits. These girls have a ton of everyday life activities going on, and they still manage to come to practice, games and other events which means a lot.” Pina, Paiva, Salvador, Sekkat and Oliva were all selected to play in the Greater Boston League All-Star game this Friday, Nov. 10, at Chelsea High School at 6 p.m. Revere girls’ cross-country team makes mark at states Severa l Revere gi r l s ’ cross-country harriers participated in the Frank Mooney State Coach meet on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Newer space heaters should have an automatic shut-off switch that turns the device off if it tips over. Unvented kerosene space heaters and portable propane space heaters are not permitted for residential use in Massachusetts, State Fire Marshal Davine said that the risk of fi re and carbon monoxide poisoning they pose is too great. Create and Practice a Home Escape Plan: Everyone should have a home escape plan that accounts for two ways out of every room, and everyone should be able to open the doors and windows along the way. Remember that children, older adults and people with disabilities might need extra assistance.

Healey’s veto of $100,000 (reducing funding from $3.3 to $3.2 million) for a program to increase participation and performance in advanced placement courses, particularly among underserved populations, to prepare students for college and career success in science, technology, engineering, math and English. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary based on historical spending in this line,” said Healey in her veto message. (A “Yes” vote is for the $100,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Rep. Jeff Turco Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes Yes Yes $7.6 MILLION FOR COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCIES (H 4040) House 129-25, Senate 37-1 overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $7.6 million for operational support grants to community action agencies to “assist the agencies in their mission to assist residents of the commonwealth living with low incomes to stabilize their lives and achieve economic prosperity, and in creating and expanding opportunity for those residents in the neighborhoods and municipalities where they live and work.” “I am vetoing this item because its original purpose was specifi cally tied to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Healey in her veto message. (A “Yes” vote is for the $7.6 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Rep. Jeff Turco Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes Yes Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL MEDICARE FOR ALL (H 1239) – The Committee on Health Care Financing held a hearing on a measure creating a state-run “Medicare for All” single-payer health care system. “Whether it is visiting nonprofi ts or talking to constituents working to make ends meet, Medicare for All is at top of mind for many in my district who are frustrated by rising health care costs,” said sponsor Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (D-Northampton). “This includes providers who feel like the current system is no longer working and is driving them to leave their practices. Health care spending totaled over $68 billion in 2021 and those numbers are only going up. Simultaneously, we’ve seen closure of services across the state due, fundamentally, to a lack of profitability. Since health care should be a public good, this legislation treats it as such, ensuring affordable, equitable access.” RAISE FINE FOR “RIGHT OF WAY” VIOLATIONS (H 3477) – A bill heard by the Transportation Committee would raise from $35 to $200 the fi ne for violating the traffi c rule that provides when two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same instant, the operator of the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. The proposal also imposes additional penalties and/or license revocation for up to six months for any of these violations that cause death, serious bodily harm or bodily harm. Sponsor Rep. Steven Xiarhos (RBarnstable) noted the bill is named “Cecelia’s Law” - in memory of Cecelia Finnegan Alldredge of Sagamore who was killed when a car turned in front of her and caused a fatal crash. “This proposed law, which mandates increased penalties for those found guilty of causing a crash by making a left-hand turn in front of an oncoming vehicle, sends a clear message about the seriousness of this off ense,” said Xiarhos. “By imposing stricter consequences for negligent behavior, we encourage safer driving practices and protect the lives of our fellow citizens. The importance of this legislation goes beyond this specifi c case. It has the potential to make our roads safer for all residents of Massachusetts.” LITTERING FROM YOUR VEHICLE (H 3346) – Another bill heard by the Transportation Committee would make littering by the driver or any passenger, on public or private property, a civil off ense punishable by a fi ne of $100 for a fi rst offense, $250 for a second off ense and $500 for a third and all subsequent off enses. The violation would be a surchargeable off ense which under Bay State law, can lead to temporary higher insurance premiums for the driver. Current law, which remains in effect even if this bill is approved, allows the Registry of Motor Vehicles, after a hearing, to suspend for up to a week, the license or permit to operate a motor vehicle of any person who litters or allows passengers to litter. “Littering from a car has become an epidemic,” said sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). “It is not only costly to the state for cleanup BEACON | SEE Page 22 Come enjoy a “Seriously Fun Holiday Concert” with Polymnia Choral Society!

Read Less Lea Stathaqi Misleading Medicare Advantage Ads: What to Look Out For Dear Savvy Senior, I’m currently enrolled in original Medicare but have been thinking about switching to a Medicare Advantage plan during the open enrollment period. Many of the Medicare Advantage ads I’ve seen off er lots of extra benefi ts beyond what traditional Medicare off ers and no monthly premiums. What are your thoughts? Considering a Switch Dear Considering, Be very leery of the Medicare Advantage ads on TV, radio, social media and that come in the mail. While many of these ads may tout free vision, hearing, dental and other benefi ts with zero monthly premiums, they aren’t always what they claim to be. Advantage Basics Medicare Advantage or MA plans O f Revere. Entered into rest on November 6, 2023, at the age of sixty-nine. Beloved daughter of the late Evanthea and Janaq Stathaqi. Sister of Marjana Braho.Devoted aunt of Donald Braho, Cherished great aunt of Eva Braho, Sister-in-Law of Bashkim Braho, dear aunt in law of Hemida Braho. She grew up in Tirana Albania, graduated from Medical School, and lived with her family in Revere. She worked in Tirana, Albania as a doctor and was a lab technician at Tufts University in Boston, MA. She loved to cook for her family while listening to classical and Christmas music. She cherished her time spent with family, friends, and respected colleagues. A viewing for Lea was held on Thursday November 9 at Buonfi - glio Funeral Home, Revere, with interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, 32 Elm Street Everett, MA on Friday November 10, 2023. In the race for the Ward 4 council seat, Public Works Director Paul Argenzio received $23,875 from supporters and spent $21,435 on his campaign. Argenzio’s opponent, Gregory Murray, raised $1,350 and reported zero expenses. (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors in a geographic area. You can sign up for one of them during openenrollment season from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. MA plans have exploded in popularity in recent years as insurers have fl ooded the airways with advertisements, often by celebrity pitchmen, that promote low-cost options with lots of extra benefi ts. But be aware that the Federal government has deemed many claims in MA ads fraudulent and misleading. Some ads imply that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services endorses or prefers a specifi c plan. Others promise more cost savings than you really get. And if you choose the wrong plan, your doctor may not be a member of that plan’s network, or you may end up paying out-of-pocket for medically necessary care. This past September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began cracking down on these ads, but you still need to practice self-defense. Here are some tips to help you make a good decision. Cover your needs: When evaluating MA plans, make sure the one’s you’re considering cover the doctors you like and the health care facilities you normally go to. Also, make sure all of the prescription medications you take are on the drug plan’s formulary. To help you compare plans, a good fi rst step is to call the offi ce managers of the doctors you use and find out which Advantage plans they accept, and which ones they recommend. Then go to the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare plans in your area. Understand the details: Some MA plans promote no monthly premiums, but the reality is that you are still responsible for your original Medicare costs including your Part B premium and deductibles and copays for covered services. Moreover, you may have to pay more out-of-pocket if you see a doctor outside the network. Also, if the plan is an HMO, it generally doesn’t cover non-emergency care out of network, so an individual may be responsible for full costs. A PPO on the other hand, allows people to go out of network, but they generally have to pay more to do so. Do some digging: Many MA plans tout free vision, hearing and dental benefi ts that are not covered by traditional Medicare, but these benefi ts are often limited. For example, a plan that off ers free dental coverage may cover only cleanings and x-rays. Extensive procedures such as root canals or caps may not be covered, or the plan may limit the dollar amount it pays. Find out the coverage details so you’re not surprised later. Get help: Reach out to your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2775. These are nonprofi t programs that provide unbiased one-on-one Medicare counseling and assistance. You can also report any misleading MA claims to the Senior Medicare Patrol Resource Center at SMPResource.org or by calling 800447-8477. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

MassMade would develop a searchable online directory of Massachusetts-based manufacturers and consumer goods companies, helping to connect them with potential customers. “We all know the benefits of shopping locally and keeping our consumer dollars circulating here in the commonwealth,” said House sponsor Rep. Josh Cutler (D-Duxbury). “Knowing which goods and products are ‘MassMade’ makes that goal a lot easier.” “Promoting businesses that are headquartered or produce goods right here in Massachusetts is not only a boost to the businesses themselves, it benefits our commonwealth as a whole as well,” said Senate sponsor Sen. John Velis (DWestfi eld). “These are jobs and key players in our local economy.

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.
