Revere Public Schools Supt. Dr. Dianne Kelly said the change was meant to end the middle school lottery, which no one seems to like. However, the School Committee eliminated bus transportation for the high school and middle school students who live less than two miles from their school due to a budget shortfall in the district’s transportation budget and the exploding cost of bussing. Committee members were concerned about the risks of young students walking through the city being inundated with speeding traffic, highways and train stations. Skwierawski has been working with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council on maps and population data to divide the city into three middle school districts built around the Garfield, Rumney Marsh and Susan B. Anthony Schools. He said natural boundaries, such as roads and train tracks, were considered when drawing LOTTERY | SEE Page 2 HYM, Cathexis and City of Revere break ground on Portico at Suffolk Downs The next milestone for the transformative 161-acre Suffolk Downs redevelopment Special to Th e Advocate O n Dec. 16, 2025, The HYM Investment Group (HYM), Cathexis Holdings LP (Cathexis), the City of Revere, Related Fund Management and Suff olk celebrated the offi cial groundbreaking of Portico, the second multifamily building at Suff olk Downs.

While the plaque reflects two years of service on the City Council, Councillor Chris Giannino’s commitment to the City of Revere spans more than three decades, including his service as a Revere Police Sergeant and his continued dedication to residents and the community. “Being in the Council Chamber for this recognition was incredibly meaningful,” said State Representative Jessica Giannino. “Public service is a responsibility my family has taken seriously for generations. Sitting in that room, surrounded by history, was a reminder of the trust our community places in those who serve and the importance of honoring that commitment every day.” Councilor Chris Giannino refl ected on the honor and the signifi cance of service beyond titles or timelines. “This recognition is truly LOTTERY | FROM Page 1 the districts.

The one area that showed disproportionate percentages was related to students who fall into the category of English Language Learners. Under the new options, 42 percent of the students at Garfi eld will be ELL students, 33 percent at Rumney Marsh and 24 percent at Susan B. Anthony. “The data is preliminary,” said Skwierawski. “We are working to make sure districts are accurate…We will have schools that look like our neighborhoods, which look like our city.” Mayor Patrick Keefe, chairman of the School Committee, said not everyone will be happy with the new middle school districts. “There will always be fi ve people who are not happy and whose lives are being upended by the change.” But Keefe stressed the committee needs to do what’s best for most students. Dr. Kelly said the School Department will host an evening event to hear from parents about the options during the fi rst or second week in January. Skwierawski hopes to present the fi nalized options to the committee in January for a vote. ׉ 7cassandra://4tlCg9VWU7zQ5m_Ee7hhT_rorshyvCisetCk90pkNPQ5@`iD4MjL6T׉E THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2025 Page 3 State Fire Marshal Reminds Residents of Christmas Tree Fire Hazards Special to Th e Advocate S Choose the Right Tree, Water It Daily, and Decorate Safely Fault Circuit Interrupter. TOW—As the holiday season gets underway, State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine is reminding residents to select Christmas trees carefully, water them every day, and decorate them safely to reduce the risk of a fi re. “A dry Christmas tree can burn like a forest fi re in your home,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Water it every day, or fi refi ghters might have to do it for you.” The Department of Fire Services recommends the following Christmas tree safety tips to help you have a Silent Night: Choosing a Tree • Select a fresh tree with needles that bend and stay fixed to the branches. If a tree’s needles crack when you bend them, or if they fall off when you run your hand along a branch, the tree is already drying out and you should choose a different tree. • Have about two inches cut from the bottom of the trunk before you put it up. Sap can clog an older cut and prevent it from absorbing water in the stand. Decorate Safely • Choose lights that are listed by an independent testing laboratory like UL or Intertek/ETL and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety information. Before plugging in a string of lights or hanging it on the tree, check the wiring for cracks, pinches, and wear. Discard any damaged strings. • When decorating outdoors, be sure the lights and extension cords are rated for outdoor use and plug them into an outlet with a Ground • Almost half of home decoration fi res start with candles and other heat sources too close to decorations: Keep lit candles on a sturdy saucer or candleholder at least three feet from the tree. Even better, switch to battery-powered “fl ameless” candles, which flicker just like real thing. Picking the Right Spot at Home • Place your tree in a sturdy stand away from doors and windows. These are your escape routes in the event of an emergency, and fi refi ghters may need to use them to enter. • Keep the tree at least three feet from any heat source, including fi replaces, wood stoves, heating vents, radiators, and space heaters. Water the Tree Every Day • A fresh tree will drink a lot of water. It may need to be watered more than once a day at fi rst, so keep the water level high. If the bottom of the trunk is exposed to air, sap could seal it off and cause it to dry out prematurely. • Even the freshest tree will start to dry out after a few days. Dispose of it promptly after the holiday. For a video clip showing a Christmas tree fi re under controlled conditions, visit https:// www.youtube.com/watch? v=uUvrh2sDEE0 Lawrence A.

Located just steps from the Beachmont MBTA Blue Line Station, Portico will be ideal for working professionals and residents looking for a connected, amenity-rich home base with ease of access to Downtown Boston and the coast. The new construction will bring dynamic additional retail to Beachmont Square and along Salt Street. Connected to a lively hub of civic spaces, open space and retail, the 1.7 million square foot, mixed-use Beachmont Square serves as a gateway to the larger Suff olk Downs site. Suff olk Downs residents have access to a diverse array of fi tness, shopping, food and beverage options. Portico was, in part, made possible through a public-private partnership between HYM, Cathexis, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the City of Revere. Governor Maura Healey and Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus helped advance the development of Portico through the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP); Mayor Patrick Keefe and the Revere City Council were key in taking the local action needed to unlock Commonwealth tax incentives. “The Suffolk Downs redewww.810bargrille.com velopment is a transformative project for Revere and Greater Boston, and the Healey-Driscoll Administration was proud to award $5 million to help make this project possible,” said Secretary Augustus. “Portico and the Suff olk Downs redevelopment will help us get to the 222,000 homes Massachusetts needs to keep up with housing demand, give buyers and renters more choices, and bring down costs.” “Today’s groundbreaking at Portico reminds us of why both families and businesses invest in Revere. With our scenic coastal geography, convenient access to public transit, and competitive market value, there is clear incentive to plant roots and grow in Revere. Portico will deliver the needed housing, economic activity, and renewed energy to a neighborhood that is central to Revere’s progress,” said Mayor Keefe. “We couldn’t be happier to celebrate the groundbreaking of Portico today,” said HYM Founding Partner/Managing Director Thomas N. O’Brien. “Our focus at Suff olk Downs has always been to deliver thousands of new homes and create a truly mixed-use neighborhood and destination to meet the moment for Greater Boston. Breaking ground on Portico represents that vision in action. We are grateful to Governor Healey, Secretary Augustus, Related Fund Management, and all our project partners who have made this groundbreaking possible, and we’re certain Portico will be a welcome addition to the Beachmont Square community.” “Today’s groundbreaking of Portico represents another step forward for Revere and for the future of Suff olk Downs,” said Senator Lydia Edwards, State Senator for the Third Suffolk District. “This project reflects what is possible when the Commonwealth, the City of Revere, and private partners work together to deliver much-needed housing, create jobs, and build neighborhoods accessible to transportation. I want to thank the Healey-Driscoll Administration, the City of Revere and Mayor Keefe, HYM, Cathexis, and all of the public and private partners whose collaboration made this milestone possible. Portico will not only add hundreds of new homes, but also strengthen Beachmont Square as a community that supports local businesses and expands opportunities for residents across our region.” Suffolk is the general contractor for Portico, leading the ground-up construction of the multifamily building. “We’re proud to bring Portico to life and support the City of Revere as Beachmont Square continues to take shape, providing residents with a connected, amenity-rich home just steps from the Blue Line and all that Boston has to off er,” said Suffolk Northeast General Manager Pat Lucey. “Suff olk has been deeply engaged in this community for years, and projects like Portico give us the chance to deliver high-quality housing and vibrant public spaces that truly serve local residents. It’s exciting to see the neighborhood grow, and we’re honored to help create a place that will benefi t Revere for years to come.” With the official groundbreaking, construction on Portico has begun and delivery is anticipated by February 2028.

Dwayne Richardson, 41, of West Bridgewater, was arrested and charged with the following: Traffi cking Cocaine (Over 200 Grams); Traffi cking Fentanyl (Over 10 Grams); Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Substance (Subsequent Offense); Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Substance (Subsequent Offense); Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class C Substance; Possession of a Firearm During a Felony; Carrying a Firearm Without a License (Fourth Off ense); Firearm Violation with Three Prior Violent/Drug Crimes; Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License Warrant. Richardson was arraigned on Friday in Boston Municipal Court. On Wednesday, Dec. 10, Winthrop Police Offi cers were notifi ed by dispatch that an individual identifi ed as Richardson was wanted on an arrest warrant in connection with a felony assault in Everett, potentially armed, and possibly located in the Winthrop area. Dispatchers reported that Richardson might be driving a white 2018 BMW X1. On Thursday, Dec. 11, at approximately 5:36 p.m., Offi - cer Christopher Castro-Garcia was on patrol in the area of Crest Avenue when he spotted a white 2018 BMW X1, and the driver matched Richardson’s description. Since Richardson was potentially armed, Offi cer Castro-Garcia requested backup and conducted a felony motor vehicle stop in the area of Revere Street, detaining the suspect at gunpoint. Richardson was taken into custody without further incident on an arrest warrant obtained by Everett Police. Reportedly, police found over $5,000 in cash on Richardson, and a subsequent search of his vehicle located a loaded.45 caliber handgun, ammunition, approximately 688 grams of cocaine, approximately 29 grams of fentanyl, multiple tablets of Xanax, Adderall and Oxycodone, and other drug paraphernalia. “I want to praise the awareness and professionalism of Officer Castro-Garcia,” said Winthrop Police Chief John Goodwin. “His proactive patrolling led to a dangerous individual being taken into custody, and to police removing a fi rearm and a large amount of drugs from the streets.” These are allegations. All defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If We Happen To Meet By Accident ... You’ll Be Glad You Found Us!          BEST!

Revere Head Coach Ariana Rivera enters the winter optimistic and energized, even as her Patriots roll out a lineup featuring plenty of new faces. While experience may be lighter in some areas, Rivera believes the team’s quickness, versatility and coachability give it a chance to be competitive right out of the gate. “We are a young group this PART-TIME JOB OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE: * VICTIM ADVOCATE * ATTORNEY Portal To Hope (“PTH”) serves people whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence and related assault crimes. If you would like to join PTH’s award-winning team and share your leadership in the cause to end domestic violence, please call (781) 338-7678 for more information; or, email portaltohope@aol.com. year,” Rivera said. “Very quick and strong on the defensive end of things. A lot of our starting lineup will be new faces, which is a great change of pace and tempo.” Last season provided a strong foundation for the program under fi rst-year coach Rivera. Revere fi nished the 2024– 25 campaign with a 14–7 overall record and earned a share of the Greater Boston League title, establishing itself as one of the league’s most consistent teams throughout the winter. The Patriots entered the Division 1 state tournament as the No. 37 seed and saw their season come to an end in the preliminary round against Durfee, but the playoff loss did little to diminish what had been a successful and competitive season. Led by a senior-heavy roster and multiple captains, Revere was the team to beat in the GBL for much of the year, setting a standard that Rivera now looks to carry forward as a younger, faster group takes the fl oor in 2025–26. Leadership starts with senior captain Shayna Smith, the lone senior and emotional anchor of the roster. Smith, a forward, is expected to be a steady presence on both ends of the fl oor while helping guide a roster that leans heavily on underclassmen. “She’s going to go big this year,” Rivera said. “I’m really excited.” Smith’s leadership will be crucial early as Revere navigates a front-loaded schedule and brings along a younger core that is still settling into varsity roles. One of the most intriguing pieces in the Patriots’ lineup is freshman Addison Ulwick, whom Rivera expects to contribute immediately in the paint. “She’s a very good asset to us under the basket and aggression-wise,” Rivera said. Ulwick’s physical presence helps off set a roster that is smaller overall but built to move quickly. That theme carries into the backcourt, where Revere boasts speed, ball pressure and perimeter shooting. Junior point guard Sarah Lechheb returns to run the offense and set the tempo, while sophomore Allyson OllivierBe prepared before the next power outage. ra brings shooting range that can stretch defenses. Sophomore guards Rebecca Mercado and Haley Peralta round out what Rivera describes as a “solid starting fi ve.” “We are a little smaller this year,” Rivera said, “but with that lack of height comes a little bit more speed and freedom to kind of move the ball around.” Despite the youth, Revere’s identity remains consistent with past seasons: defense fi rst. “We will be a strong defensive team this year, similar to our previous seasons,” Rivera said. That defensive focus was on display during preseason action. The Patriots held their own at a jamboree hosted by Acton-Boxborough High School, squaring off with quality programs, such as Pembroke and AB High. A competitive scrimmage against Saugus further reinforced Rivera’s confi dence heading into opening week. “Our scrimmage against Saugus was competitive and exactly what we needed to prep for our home opener,” Rivera said. With quick guards and multiple athletes capable of defending on the perimeter, Revere expects to pressure opponents, force turnovers and Receive a free 5−year warranty with qualifying purchase* - valued at $535.

The Patriots open the season at home with back-toback matchups against Lynn rivals, hosting Lynn Classical (Tuesday after press time) and Lynn English (Thursday) in the opening two games this week. Rivera welcomes the early challenge. “We love opening against Lynn Classical,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the season.” Revere High winter squads tip off, take off on the track and hit the ice strong By Dom Nicastro T he Revere High School Patriots’ winter season is offi cially underway. The boys basketball team opened with an overtime thriller; the girls indoor track team sprinted out to a 2–0 start with dominant showings across the board; and the boys hockey coop scored a big win on the road. From freshman debuts to senior leadership, Patriots across all three teams showed they’re ready for a competitive season. Here’s how each team fared in its fi rst major action of 2025—2026. Boys basketball celebrates Day, falls short in opener The Patriots opened their 2025–2026 season in front of a packed home crowd and honored last year’s senior standout Ethan Day with a pregame ceremony for his 1,000-point milestone. But the energy and emotion weren’t quite enough to get past Arlington Catholic, as Revere dropped a 62–55 overtime heartbreaker. Head Coach David Leary said his young team — with only three players returning with varsity experience — showed early nerves, shooting just 2-for15 in a first quarter that ended with an 8–6 defi cit. “We just couldn’t throw it in the ocean,” Leary said. “Not terrible looks. Just might have been nerves.” Revere trailed 24–16 at the half but stormed back in the third quarter behind sophomore Charles Dobre and senior Zaney Kayembe.

And in OT, we kind of lost our way.” Dobre had a strong start to his sophomore campaign with 15 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. Kayembe, who spent most of the fi rst half in foul trouble, fi nished with eight points and 12 boards. “I was proud of the way we competed on the boards,” Leary said. “They were defi - nitely taller than us at pretty much every position, but we did compete.” Self-infl icted wounds — turnovers, a lane violation on a made free throw, and some missed assignments — proved costly. Still, Leary emphasized the effort. “There are a lot of things we need to grow from,” he said. “But I like the energy we have.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local representatives’ roll call attendance records for the 2025 session through December 12. The House has held 116 roll calls in the 2025 session. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each representative voted and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. Oftentimes a representative is not able to attend only one or two sessions during which roll calls are held, but since there are sometimes multiple roll calls on each one of those days, the number of roll calls they missed can be high even though they only missed one or two sessions. Eighty-eight (55.3 percent) out of 159 representatives did not miss any roll call votes and had a 100 precent roll call attendance record. Seventy-one (44.7 percent) out of 159 representatives missed one or more roll call votes. The representatives who missed the most roll calls are Reps. John Lawn (D-Watertown) and Marcus Vaughn (R-Wrentham) who each missed 22 roll calls (81.0 percent roll call attendance record). Rounding out the top 15 representatives who missed the most roll call votes are: Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick) who missed 20 roll calls (82.7 percent roll call attendance record); Christopher Flanagan (D-Dennis); Judith Garcia (D-Chelsea); Richard Haggerty (D-Woburn); Mary Keefe (D-Worcester); Chynah Tyler (DRoxbury; and Thomas Walsh (DPeabody) who each missed 19 roll calls (83.6 percent roll call attendance record.) Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge) and John Gaskey (RCarver) who each missed 18 roll calls (84.4 percent roll call attendance record.) Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate) who missed 16 roll calls (86.2 percent roll call attendance record); Tram Nguyen (D-Andover); and Joseph McKenna (RSutton) who each missed 15 roll calls (87.0 percent roll call attendance record). Lisa Field (D-Taunton) who missed 15 roll calls (72.2 percent roll call attendance record). Rep. Field won a special election to fi ll a vacant House seat. She has only been a representative for 54 roll calls, not all 116 roll calls, and therefore her percentage of roll calls attended is diff erent from Reps. Nguyen and McKenna who both also missed 15 roll calls but have been in offi ce for all 116 roll calls. Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted all 15 representatives and asked them why they missed some roll calls: Eight representatives did not respond last week to repeated requests asking them to explain their absences. They are Reps. John Lawn, Marcus Vaughan, Christopher Flanagan, Mary Keefe, Chynah Tyler, Tom Walsh, Patrick Kearney and Tram Nguyen. Seven representatives responded either last week and/ or when they were asked the same questions in August, when they were also among the representatives who missed the most roll calls. Nicholas Boldyga did not respond last week but responded in August: “A couple of days were missed due to health-related issues in my immediate family. My responsibilities as a father of three young children came fi rst on those days. Unfortunately, unlike the Senate that allows for fully remote participation on all levels, House rules make it diffi cult to even vote remotely.” Judith Garcia responded in August and last week with the same statement: “I missed two days due to illness and two days on official business with the Chelsea delegation, participating in the National All-America City competition in Denver, Colorado, which Chelsea won. One of those four days included 13 roll calls, so it’s important for readers to know that multiple roll calls in a single day do not equal multiple absences.” Richard Haggerty responded in August and last week: In August, he responded, “I missed a single day of voting this session on February 6, 2025, when I was unfortunately not able to attend a session due to a family commitment.” Last week he responded: “I have submitted statements of support for each piece of legislation the House passed to the House Clerk’s Offi ce after missing four engrossment votes this session due to a family commitment.” Marjorie Decker responded last week: “The votes I missed were due to family emergencies, and I sent a letter to the House Clerk’s stating how I would have voted for each of the two formal sessions I was not able to attend.” John Gaskey responded in August and last week: In August, he responded: “[Thirteen roll calls] were on the same day. I was out of town and unavailable. [Three more roll calls] were on the same day [that I was] involved with a delicate constituent issue and chose not to attend, determining it was more important to assist constituents in need than to throw a ‘No’ vote at something I don’t think should be legal.” Last week he responded, “The question has no context and is without merit. The way voting happens, as you know, missing one day has the potential to make it look like a legislator … has missed 20 percent of votes taken. That being said, I answered this question earlier in the year and since, not sure if I missed anything or not. If I did, it’s likely because of personal reasons.” Joseph McKenna responded last week: “I missed a formal session due to a long-scheduled family trip where I visited immediate family from across the country who I see very infrequently. Though I only missed one day of session, it unfortunately was budget veto override voting, so [it] was a day with the highest number of actual individual votes.

The home office deduction rules are available for self-employed individuals who use a portion of their home exclusively for business. This deduction is found in Internal Revenue Code Section 280A. A home offi ce deduction can be taken if the small business owner sets up and uses a room in his or her house or apartment for performing such administrative tasks relating to the business. Under Internal Revenue Service rules, expenses related to a home offi ce qualify as a tax deduction if you use the home offi ce to conduct substantial administrative activities, and if you use it exclusively and regularly for business. If you do much of your administrative work in a home offi ce, even though you have an offi ce at your place of business, you are still entitled to take the deduction. To qualify, set up an area of your home, attic or basement, and use that space regularly and exclusively for business. You might pay bills, do paperwork, develop product or business plan strategies, reconcile bank statements, review fi - nancial statements, etc. You may also meet with customers or clients in an area in the house used exclusively for business. If you have a home offi ce, you can also claim other areas you use in your basement or garage or shed to store work materials, even if that space is not used exclusively for business. You can also take a deduction for miles traveled to and from the home offi ce to your principal place of business. Without a home offi ce, those traveled miles would simply be non-deductible commuting expense. All relevant direct and indirect house expenses are fully deductible expenses to be taken on Form 8829, Expenses For Business Use of Your Home. If you use your house 20% for business, then 20% of all house costs, including mortgage interest, real estate taxes, homeowners insurance, utilities and depreciation are fully deductible. Furthermore, repairs to the home offi ce space itself would be fully deductible. You also have the option of claiming the simplifi ed option of the home offi ce deduction which is 300 square feet of living space x $5/square foot, for a deduction equal to $1,500. The total of expenses as computed on Form 8829 are then carried over to Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business, on line 30, Part II. Always remember to consider if an offi ce in the home deduction applies to you. Maximizing the amount of dollars that you can keep in your small business’ coff ers rather than in Uncle Sam’s coff ers is probably a worthwhile goal.

The House scheduled a formal session while I was traveling. I missed one day of formal session, but the House took up several votes that day.” REPRESENTATIVES’ 2025 ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS THROUGH DECEMBER 12, 2025 Here are the 2025 roll call attendance records of local representatives through December 12. The attendance records are based on 116 roll calls. The percentage listed next to the representative’s name is the percentage of roll call votes on which the senator voted. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Rep. Jessica Giannino 100 percent (0) Rep. Jeff Turco 100 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL BAN SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS ON DEATH CERTIFICATES (H 2383) — The House gave initial approval to a bill that would eliminate the current requirement that death certifi cates list the social security number of the deceased. “The idea for this bill was brought to me by a constituent who read about this issue and expressed concern,” said sponsor Rep. Rob Consalvo (D-Hyde Park). “Although death certifi - cates are not publicly available to everyone, removing social security numbers from them is a simple step the commonwealth can take to prevent any potential fraud.” Reps. Sean Garballey (D-Arlington) and Ken Gordon (DBedford) co-sponsored a similar bill that was also given initial approval by the House. Neither Garballey nor Gordon responded to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them why they fi led the bill and how they feel about its approval. ALLOW MBTA RIDERS TO PAY ONSITE FOR PARKING WITHOUT A MOBILE PHONE (H 3664) — The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would establish an 18-month pilot program requiring that three MBTA parking lots install automated payment machines that allow customers to make in-person payment for daily parking fees by cash or credit card, without the use of a mobile telephone or any other portable electronic device. The MBTA would fi le a report on the effi cacy of the program. The proposal was given initial approval by the House in 2020 but died when the House let it sit in a committee for ten months. Supporters say that people who don’t use a mobile phone or other portable electronic device are billed for parking at MBTA lots through the mail at a higher rate than riders who use the app. They argue this is unfair to those without the means to purchase a mobile phone or who have trouble using their phone. Rep. Bill Galvin (D-Canton), the sponsor of the legislation, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he fi led the bill and if he expects the bill to receive additional approval in the House and then approval in the Senate. Opponents of the bill say the measure is unnecessary because drivers can already currently pay the fee with a landline phone at the same rate that mobile phone users pay. SCHOOLS MUST PROVIDE TYPE 1 DIABETES INFORMATION TO PARENTS (H 586) — The Public Health Committee held a hearing on a bill that would require the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), in coordination with the Department of Public Health, to develop Type 1 diabetes informational materials for the parents and guardians of public school pupils when the student is fi rst enrolled in elementary school and again upon his or her entry into 6th grade. The materials would be required to undergo periodic updates as necessary and be made available to each school district, county offi ce of education and charter school through the DESE’s website. Schools would be required to provide the information to parents and guardians by January 1, 2026. The materials would be required to include a description of Type 1 diabetes; a description of the risk factors and warning signs associated with Type 1 diabetes; a recommendation regarding those students displaying warning signs associated with Type 1 diabetes that the parents or guardians of those students should immediately consult with the student’s primary care provider to determine if immediate screening for Type 1 diabetes is appropriate; and a recommendation that, following a Type 1 diagnosis, parents or guardians should consult with the student’s primary care provider to develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may include consultation with and examination by a specialty care provider, including a properly qualifi ed endocrinologist. Supporters say that the bill would help identify students with Type 1 diabetes earlier and begin early and appropriate treatment for this disease that aff ects so many children. Rep. Jessica Giannino (D-Revere), the sponsor of the legislation, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why she fi led the bill and why she thinks it is important for the Legislature to approve the measure. AGENT ORANGE (H 4688 and H 4691) — The Committee on Transportation held a hearing on legislation that would create a special Agent Orange license plate that would be made available, at no cost, to car owners who served in Vietnam and have suff ered from exposure to Agent Orange. The plate would bear the Orange Star distinctive emblem that identifi es Vietnam veterans exposed to the agent. Meanwhile, the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight held a hearing on legislation that would establish August 10th as Agent Orange Awareness Day. Both bills were co-sponsored by Reps. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro) and Kelly Pease (R-Westfi eld). Supporters said that Agent Orange was widely used in Vietnam by the United States Armed Forces as part of the herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, from 1961 until 1971. They noted that nearly 20 million gallons of the orange powder were sprayed over the land from helicopters or low-fl ying aircraft, destroying vegetation and crops to deprive enemy guerrillas of food and cover for their activities. Supporters noted that at the same time, this exposed 2.6 million American soldiers to the herbicide and defoliant chemical, which causes a number of serious illnesses, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, ischemic heart disease, soft tissue sarcoma, amyloidosis, diabetes and cancers of the throat, prostate, lung and colon. Pease said he co-sponsored these two bills to recognize the lasting sacrifi ces made by Vietnam War veterans and their families. “These bills ensure continued awareness of the health impacts of Agent Orange exposure while paying tribute to the courage and service of those who endured it. It’s important that Massachusetts never forgets the cost of their service and continues to support those still living with its consequences.” “We filed [those bills] since there are still so many Vietnam veterans around who are still suff ering from the severe health consequences of exposure to Agent Orange and to honor their service and sacrifi ce,” said Hawkins. SAFETY OF CANDIDATES (S 2742) — The Election Laws Committee held a hearing on legislation designed to enhance the safety and security of candidates for public offi ce by removing home addresses from ballots, nomination papers and other materials. The measure also would protect from disclosure of personal contact information maintained by government entities on elected offi - cials, judges, judicial offi cers, law enforcement personnel, public prosecutors, public defenders and state licensed professionals whose work subjects them to an elevated safety risk. Supporters said that Massachusetts is the only state in the nation that unnecessarily puts people at risk by requiring candidates to put their street addresses on nomination papers and ballots. “Amid harassment, intimidation, assault and cold-blooded murder of elected offi cials and their families, as well as health care professionals, law enforcement officers and others, we must do everything we possibly can to protect our existing public servants and make it safe for anyone to run for and serve in offi ce,” said sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “Notably, this is not a partisan issue, as fi gures spanning the political spectrum have faced terrible violence.” REPARATIVE JUSTICE FOR DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES (H 1696 and H 1753) — The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a measure (H 1696) that would ׉ 7cassandra://9YTFkF3bny5fIn4cK6D1VE9qWmbvK1O9Rt0IJ45i5ok-`iD4MjL6b׉E*0establish a 15-member commission to study and develop proposals for reparative justice and other potential remedies to redress harm resulting from the institution of slavery and systemic racism in the Bay State. The commission would produce a report documenting the effects of slavery and its legacy on the American Freedman class — which it defi nes as “descendants of formerly enslaved persons emancipated in the United States via the 13th Amendment in 1865 or earlier.” “Rep Fluker-Reid fi led the bill to address the longstanding social, political and economic disenfranchisement faced by American Freedmen,” said Camille Mula, a spokesperson for Fluker-Reid. “American Freedmen in Massachusetts on average face dramatically higher rates of incarceration, extreme poverty, maternal mortality and other health disparities … compared to other racial groups as well as other Black people who fall outside of the category of Freedmen.” A similar bill (H 1753) that would also establish a special commission to study reparation, was also on the committee’s agenda. Its sponsor, Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston), did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he fi led his version of the bill. QUOTABLE QUOTES “With President Trump repeatedly attacking the programs that help Massachusetts families aff ord food, programs like these will increase the supply of locally grown healthy, aff ordable food. These awards are supporting local jobs, farmers and small food businesses that keep money circulating in our local economy and provide essential food for the people of Massachusetts.” ---Gov. Maura Healey announcing $779,458 in funding to improve food access in underserved communities throughout Massachusetts, by increasing local food production which will support the growth of urban farms, community gardens and food business operations, targeting areas that struggle with food insecurity. “Today’s court order will undoubtedly save lives by preventing the federal government from terminating funding that helps communities prepare for and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters. This decision THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2025 ---Paul Craney, Executive Disends a clear message that the Trump Administration must not abandon state and local communities, and I won’t stop fi ghting to protect our residents from the federal government’s abuses of power.” ---Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell announcing that a coalition of 20 states, including Massachusetts, won their lawsuit against the Trump Administration over its unlawful attempt to shut down the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) bipartisan Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, designed to protect communities from natural disasters before they strike. “Massachusetts is not competing against states like New Hampshire, instead New Hampshire is competing against states like Texas, Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina. In this recent case, New Hampshire won, but in every case Massachusetts loses. When employers are choosing to cross the border because they can’t keep up with our taxes, energy cost and mandates, that should be a wake-up call for every policymaker on Beacon Hill.” rector of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, on the widening competitiveness gap between Massachusetts and New Hampshire as a series of high-profi le employers have announced relocations from Massachusetts to the largely tax-free Granite State, an exodus Craney says is increasingly driven by Massachusetts’ rising taxes, energy costs and regulatory mandates. “By empowering homeowners and local municipalities with clear rules and practical support, we’re making it easier for accessory dwelling units to become part of the solution to our housing challenges. These new tools will give families more options to stay in their communities, live near loved ones and create opportunities for extra income and increased independence.” ---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll announcing a new campaign to make it easier and cheaper for people across Massachusetts to build accessory dwelling units — also known as granny fl ats or in-law apartments — which are small residential living spaces that are located on the same lot as another home.

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 December 8-12, the House met for a total of 16 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 39 minutes. Mon. Dec. 8 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:06 a.m. Senate 11:21 a.m. to 11:49 a.m. Tues. Dec. 9 No House session. No Senate session. Wed. Dec. 10 No House session. No Senate session. Thurs.

Answers drafted, including a will, power of attorney and advance directive, but I’m not sure what to do about all my online accounts — email, banking, and social media. What can I do to make sure my family can access what they need and protect my digital information after I’m gone. Almost 80 Dear Almost, In addition to creating an estate plan, you should also make a “digital will” that lists all your online accounts and login information. This will help your loved ones access your electronic devices and online accounts more easily so they can manage your electronic aff airs, according to your wishes, after you’re gone. Montana State University offers a Digital Assets Inventory Worksheet (see Montana. edu/estateplanning/digitalsssetsworksheet.pdf) to help you get started. Or consider purchasing a “password book” on Amazon for a few dollars. This will let you record and organize your online account information alphabetically. Here are a few other tips to help you prepare your digital life for your survivors. Apple: If you’re an iPhone, iPad or Mac user, you should nominate a “legacy contact” who can access your Apple account’s data after you die. This is a secure way to give trusted people access to photos, fi les and messages. To set it up you’ll need an Apple device with a fairly recent operating system. iPhones and iPads need iOS or iPadOS 15.2 and MacBooks need macOS Monterey 12.1. For iPhones, go to settings, tap Sign-in & Security and then Legacy Contact. You can name one or more people, and they don’t need an Apple ID or device. You’ll have to share an access key with your contact. It can be a digital version sent electronically, or you can print a copy or save it as a screenshot or PDF. Take note that there are some types of fi les you won’t be able to pass on — including digital rights-protected music, movies and passwords stored in Apple’s password manager. Legacy contacts can only access a deceased user’s account for three years before Apple deletes the account. Google: Google takes a different approach with its Inactive Account Manager (see Support.google.com/accounts/ answer/3036546), which allows you to share your data with someone if it notices that you’ve stopped using your account. When setting it up, you need to decide how long Google should wait — from three to 18 months — before considering your account inactive. Once that time is up, Google can notify up to 10 people. You can choose what types of data they can access — including emails, photos, calendar entries and YouTube videos. There’s also an option to automatically delete your account after three months of inactivity, so your contacts will have to download any data before that deadline. Facebook and Instagram: If you’re on Facebook or Instagram, both of which are owned by the parent company Meta, you can have your accounts either memorialized or deleted after you die if the companies get a valid request from a family member or friend. See Facebook. com/help/1111566045566400 or Help .Instagr am. com/264154560391256 for details. Meta also strongly recommends Facebook users add a legacy contact to look after your memorial accounts — see Facebook.com/ help/1070665206293088. Legacy contacts can do things like respond to new friend requests and update pinned posts, but they can’t read private messages or remove or alter previous posts. You can only choose one person, who also must have a Facebook account. Passwords: If you use a password manager — a service that creates, saves and manages passwords for all your online accounts — see if it has an emergency access feature. Some services, like Keeper, Bitwarden and NordPass, allow users to nominate one or more trusted contacts who can access your keys in case of an emergency or death.

Costantino, who was born on March 31, 1948, and passed on December 11, 2025. Bonnie lived her life with an unwavering passion for her family, always present, always supportive, and forever their biggest cheerleader. Her love story with her husband, Richard P. Costantino, spanned an incredible 60 years, a testament to their undying commitment and devotion. Bonnie was the rock of the Costantino family, always at the heart of every gathering. She was the proud mother of Richard and his wife Melissa of Narragansett, RI, and Paul and his wife Melissa of Clearwater Beach, FL. Bonnie was not just a mother, but also a sister, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother. She was a sister to Valerie Shields, Lauren Stish and her husband Mark, Gayle Scaramozza, Garry and Lorraine Ustach, and Collette and William Grennon. She was a doting grandmother to Justine Szypula, Kaitlyn (Alex) Costantino, Drew Costantino, Courtney Costantino, Tyler Costantino, Ryan Costantino, Julia Costantino, and Alyssa Costantino. She was also a loving great-grandmother to Kaia and Caden Szypula. Bonnie was the daughter of the late Edwin and Irene “Renee” Ustach.

Joan was a woman of immense strength, a dedicated family woman, and a passionate sports enthusiast. Born in Boston to Nicola and Rose Montanaro, Joan spent 90 vibrant years in Revere, a city she deeply loved and proudly called home. Joan graduated from Revere High School in 1947 and remained a cherished and active member of the Revere community for decades. She took great pride in her Italian heritage and the beloved city where she spent nearly her entire life. Her spirit and generosity touched the lives of many in Revere, and she nurtured lifelong friendships, especially with her classmates from Revere High School and fellow members of the Revere Women’s Club. I Joan found her soulmate in Angelo Michael “Shadow” DeNofrio, with whom she shared 41 wonderful years of marriage before his passing. She was a proud and loving mother to her three sons: Michael, Robert, and David. Joan’s family grew to include her daughters-in-law Erin, Renee, and Tina, who together formed the core of her family life. Her love and warmth extended to her grandchildren—Casey and her husband Keith Daly, Angelo and his husband Michael Kelly, Mario, Kelcee, Sydney, Mia, and Zachary—and great- grandchildren, Breigh and James Daly. Joan’s embrace also included her niece Michelle and husband William Doyle, and she held close memories of her sister Diana Frauton, nephew Dana Frauton, and niece Lisa Frauton, who preceded her in death. After raising her children, Joan returned to the workforce as a bookkeeper at Day Square Builders and Supply Company in East Boston, where she was valued for her dedication and expertise. In her later years, she served as a nurse’s aid at both the A.C. Whelan and Abraham Lincoln schools in Revere, caring for students and staff with compassion. Joan’s passions were many and varied. She cherished reading, hosting family holidays, watching the Red Sox, spending time with her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and engaging with neighbors. In recent years, she found peace and joy in gazing out at Revere Beach from her home, savoring the beauty of her surroundings. A funeral service for Joan will be held on Saturday, December 20, from 9:00 to 10:30 AM at Buonfi glio Funeral Home. A funeral Mass will follow at Saint Anthony’s Parish, 250 Revere Street, Revere, with interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, 302 Elm Street, Everett.
