(Advocate photo by Emily Harney) Councillor Visconti asks CFO for update on ARPA spending By Barbara Taormina T he American Rescue Plan Act is a $1.9 trillion federal economic stimulus package passed in March 2021, to provide assistance to Americans and their communities hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. ARPA provided $350 billion to state and local governments to bolster local economies that suff ered during the pandemic. Revere’s cut of ARPA funding was $30 million, and this week Councillor-atLarge Gerry Visconti asked Chief Financial Officer Richard Viscay to meet with him and other members of the City Council’s Ways and Means Committee to review how the city is spending that windfall. “It’s not often the city is awarded $30 million. This is just to get some report on where we stand,†said Visconti, adding that originally there were initiatives and ideas for the money but the council should know how much has been spent and how much is left.

Councillor-At-Large Stephen Morabito asked for a speed table on Fenno Street. Mayoral aide Gianni Hill was available to update councillors on various requests for help to reduce or calm speeding in different sections of the city. Hill said there have been 14 requests for speed tables. “Those have been identifi ed and they are a starting point,†said Hill. “The goal is to do a few every year as we do with sidewalks.†Hill said three speed tables and one raised sidewalk are in the works. Speed tables will be installed on Fenno and Sargent streets and Winthrop Avenue and a raised crosswalk will be built on Revere Street near Oxford Park. “Those are the projects we are moving forward with,†said Hill. “They are our highest priority areas for this year.†Hill said all requests for speed calming measures will be coordinated with plans for infrastructure work. Morabito made a pitch to bring the Boston-based Slow Streets program to Revere, a proposal approved by the council and then ignored. Slow Streets works with neighborhoods to reduce speed limits and install speed calming measures in order to make streets safer for all users. Morabito said the Slow Streets program has been benefi cial in Dorchester and would be something that could assist Revere. Lawrence A.

Juan launched his campaign with a rousing speech on May 1st where he vowed to keep Revere a working class city by ensuring that it has "workforce housing so that people who want to stay here can stay and those who grew up here can age in place, that we create a city-wide child care program to help alleviate the high cost of child care, and that we reduce traffic and make investments in public transportation so that we can reduce pollution and the health impacts it has on our community." Should there be a preliminary election for council at-large, it will be held on September 19th with the general election falling on November 7th. There are some guidelines on how ARPA funding should be spent, but there are also loopholes that give local officials some leeway on how to use the funding.

Andrea Estes, author of numerous articles attacking Mayor Carlo DeMaria, dropped by longtime employer amidst controversy By James Mitchell The partnership between the (Editor’s Note: This story was published in the May 5, 2013 edition of the Everett Advocate.) A ccording to the online media website Media Nation, Boston Globe reporter Andrea Estes, who wrote articles that were published in the Boston Globe in 2021 about Mayor Carlo DeMaria which falsely claimed corruption and extortion on the basis of information provided by corrupt Leader Herald newspaper publisher and personal friend Joshua Resnek, has been fi red by the Boston Globe. According to Media Nation on May 4, Estes’ name has disappeared from the Boston Globe’s online directory, but her offi cial listing in the Globe bio is described as a “former reporter,†stating: “Estes was an investigative reporter specializing in government accountability.†two reporters came to light during deposition testimony given by Resnek in the ongoing defamation lawsuit fi led by Mayor DeMaria against the Everett Leader Herald, Resnek, owners Matthew Philbin and Andrew Philbin, Sr., and Sergio Cornelio, in which Resnek, in a series of emails and texts, pushes Estes to write accusatory stories about DeMaria in the Globe. The stories, which were based on purported “information†about a real estate acquisition by the mayor and Cornelio, were intended by Resnek to severely damage the mayor’s reputation and hurt his re-election chances in the Fall of 2021. The emails and text between Resnek and Estes refl ected the two reporters’ plan to take advantage of what they believed to be Cornelio’s emotional vulnerabilities and psychiatric problems in order to pressure Cornelio into giving an interview that they hoped would damage DeMaria. The controversial relationship between Resnek and Estes, which included the two discussing how they wanted to harm the mayor and planning on ways they could do so, was referenced in Boston Magazine’s recent profi le on Resnek’s corruption, entitled, “Bomb Shellâ€. In it, writer Gretchen Voss highlighted Resnek’s sworn admissions that he had completely fabricated numerous accusations about the mayor, invented purported quotes from “sources†that never actually said the things attributed to them, manufactured phony “notes†of interviews that never took place and lied under oath. According to statements Resnek made under oath which he later stated were false, Estes was a “confidential source†of Resnek’s in respect to the land acquisition by DeMaria and Cornelio. For her part, Estes appears from the emails and texts that she sent to Resnek to be relying on Resnek for her articles even though Resnek has been shown as the Boston Magazine article put it, to be a “fabulist.†Estes would write a 2021 article regarding the mayor being interviewed by the FBI over Cornelio’s allegations that DeMaria pressured him for $96,000 over their legitimate real estate deal, to which the Globe gave great prominence. However, there’s no evidence that there’s been any investigation by the FBI into that land deal and it does not appear that the interview, if it ever took place, has gone anywhere. Resnek would later admit in his sworn testimony that he fabricated quotes from Cornelio pertaining to the land deal and also facilitated a meeting between Cornelio’s mother, who was running for political offi ce, and Estes in order to push her and Cornelio into off ering up information about the mayor’s “extortion†which later proved to be false. Estes’ story would be published in the Boston Globe in November 2021– all part of Philbin’s and Resnek’s plan to take down the mayor by any means necessary. Resnek has boasted in numerous emails to Philbin and to his friends about his close relationship with Estes and has taken credit in his emails for getting the Boston Globe to publish the stories that he fed Estes. In the many articles and editorials published by the Leader Herald from 2017 through 2021, Resnek admitted in his sworn testimony that he knew Estes from working with her at various newspapers, including the Globe, and sought her out to help in his mission to ruin DeMaria. The Globe has also published stories about the mayor, including a 2022 article by reporter Stephanie Ebbert, about the outgoing supt. of school fi nding surveillance cameras in her offi ce, which have proven to be placed there years before her taking the position and had been disconnected long ago. There has been no evidence presented that the mayor had anything to do with the cameras or anything about them. The Everett School Board recently voted not to renew the superintendent’s contract.

As I read the political talking points from US Rep. Katherine Clark, once again I saw her spin everything upside down. I used to be a Democrat growing up when Democrats actually stood for workingclass families, but that is now so “yesterday.†Clark decides to go to Revere to blab at the Head Start site talking about poor and working families who will get crushed under the GOP’s Default on America Act. While her three most favorite words must be MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, the action name of the bill is Default on Our Debt Act (H.R.187), which would cap FY’24 discretionary spending. It would appear from the infl ammatory statements made by her that this is not a governmental visit but rather a strict political partisan event. Republicans are concerned about endlessly raising the debt ceiling without ever thinking about constant spending. If you had a credit card that was maxing out, what would you do? Increase your spending habits? Or attempt to curb spending? If this makes sense for us as families, why not for the government? House Republicans have passed a measure that attempts to curb spending that we do not have. Biden wants a clean bill. Just raise the debt ceiling. Republicans are saying WHOA! – that we should link spending cuts to an increase in the borrowing limit. Sounds reasonable to me but not to the tax and spending habits up on Capitol Hill. Biden Democrats need to come to their collective senses because this issue of the debt ceiling keeps coming back because they like spending money that does not exist. Why doesn’t Clark support efforts for fi scal responsibility? Playing politics with our economy is a losing game for everyone. The time is now for the same reasonableness that we have seen before. We need substantive spending and budget reforms. Back during debt ceiling negotiations in 1995, then-Senator Joe Biden pushed for restraining federal spending as a part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling. Then he was supporting some reduction in government spending but not so today. Why? Personally, as an independent voter, I say it is time for everyone on Capitol Hill to stop playing a game of chicken. I am so disappointed in the leadership of US Rep. Katherine Clark; she is failing not only her District 5 constituents but America, too. 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Kitchen Hours: Monday - Saturday 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM Closed Sundays (Except 5/14) Join us on Sunday, May 14th Open at 1:00 PM Treat Mom to our famous Surf & Turf featuring Ribeye with îšî’ î—î˜î‰£îˆî‡ î‹î•îŒîî“ î„î‘î‡ î€µî’î„î–î—îˆî‡ î’î—î„î—î’îˆî– î‘îîœ î€‡î€–î€˜î€‘î€“î€“ www.8/10bargrille.com ׉ Ú7cassandra://efsCPPHCnzH_v4chw1jaFwWV6huoOkRLoWWTh0vYboAÍ-2Í`Ì°Í×d]]!œÂë#x‚;×d]]!œÂë#x‚:Í P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://4q5KbYTDSZyPtiuYrA77--QTBAFmgRRK5kgB7F8waVQÎÂÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://l6ynwQIZFpLs8fOo3ig0OEbcjBL8FPQUVVDkYOnWcUwÍ ÅÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://kXHB0mm3lKYD6CqbDqWzhEbP3KhOXG0UqpaKt3-Bow0Í5Í`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://6YeMhDCV5Y6lXJOtFubruQUmn5SwHua9bDTn5eyiiCwÎöìÍÄfÍ ÍÅÍñ×d]]%œÂë#x‚fטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://_sYtw1bv2h44gBijkRsdMl4NdkosU__Y4G_fGXIFp_YΈFÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://ILCtdMfhuk8b2-Ch3lppTKAMtVSQHeg808K7-f5B4xQÍ‚ûÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://TpywGFTtFUPuxx0EsccesSLWR3eMmRuSUrhIba-5jJMÍ-Í`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://k3Oa090kc9qzO-e27bs-gWP75wz2cnS3B04Gb0Sb7TcÎIzÍ[ÀÍ ÍÅÍñ×d]]&œÂë#x‚g‘× ×d]]&œÂë#x‚iÍ´ÍæÌë9×H¹http://WINWASTESAUGUS.COM× × Ј׉EÚ“Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023 Mom,WithL Happy Mother’s Day State Representative Jessica Giannino & Family State Representative îˆï‚‡î•îˆîœ Turco & Family Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky School Board Member Carol Tye Councillor -at-Large Anthony Zambuto To All Our Lovely Revere Moms.

Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino asked for an update on a council order approved last September to install a camera at the Paws & Play Dog Park on Sargent Street. The camera was requested because dogs were being abandoned at the park and because there were problems with some dogs attacking other dogs and people. Mayoral Aide Gianni Hill was at the meeting and ready with the latest news. “We have the money, and I just received an estimate for the camera today,†Hill told councillors. Hill said the next step is deciding on the best spot to install the camera. Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro asked that the camera be placed in a position to capture cars at the dog park. Cogliandro said dog daycare businesses are pulling in and unleashing packs of dogs and the park is meant for individual residents and their pets. In other local canine news, City Council President Pro Tempore Joanne McKenna proposed that the acting mayor request DCR to look at the feasibility of creating a year-round beach dog park at the beginning of Revere Beach. This section of the beach is rocky and muddy and isn’t used by people even during the summer. “This part of Revere Beach, right where the rotary is, is away from houses and people. It’s a perfect place for a little beach dog park. Everyone has dogs and there’s no place for them to go,†said McKenna, who added that dogs walking on pavement and sidewalks often burn their paws. Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri addressed environmental concerns with a proposal to double the enforcement fi nes for those who fail to clean up after their pets. Other councillors, who all claimed to be the city’s dog councillor, supported McKenna and expressed hope that DCR would make the proposal work. ery day; she is always bringing something new to the residents of Revere.†said Dr. Emily Curley, DPM “As a Board member of the American Podiatric Medical Association, I am always asked about the best ways to educate FORUM | SEE Page 19 ׉ Ú7cassandra://mXiltVlVLS-Ffvuwsw3jNnXheNPg3ATR9kg0DN11-HgÍ.0Í`Ì°Í×d]]!œÂë#x‚>׉EÚ¿THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023 Page 11 Mayor Keefe Announces Sandler Square Mobile Market, Bringing Fresh Produce, Resources, and Community to Shirley Ave Opening Day Set for Saturday, June 10, 2023 with Zumba REVERE, MA – The City of Revere’s Public Health Department today announced the Sandler Square Mobile Produce Market pilot program, set to launch Saturday, June 10, 2023 on Shirley Ave. The Market, which will be available biweekly in Sandler Square, will bring fresh, local produce to Shirley Ave and also provide continued support of SNAP food stamp benefi ts, WIC vouchers, Senior FMNP vouchers, and Health Initiatives Program (HIP) reimbursements. The Public Health Department is working with community partners such as The Neighborhood Developers, Women Encouraging Empowerment (WEE) and Mass in Motion to bring a vibrant, locally-sourced market to Sandler Square in the Shirley Ave neighborhood every other Saturday starting June 10th from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (times subject to change). After consultation with multiple vendors, the Department of Public Health made the decision to replace the Friday Farmer’s Market on Broadway with the Sandler Square Mobile Market in eff orts to encourage more vendor participation and provide a better day of the week and location for passerby foot traffi c on Shirley Ave. "The City of Revere remains dedicated to expanding food access for our residents, especially our senior population and those currently experiencing food insecurity," said Mayor Keefe. "Throughout the pandemic, I worked closely with the Emergency Response Team to bring fresh food to our most vulnerable community members because we saw fi rsthand how pertinent the issue of food insecurity is to our region. This new pilot program is an opportunity to take something once only at City Hall and expand it directly to our neighborhoods to meet people where they are." The market will provide residents with fresh produce sourced from The Trustees, a local non-profi t organization that farms on more than 2,500 acres throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They focus on preserving biodiversity and land stewardship techniques and operate their market on a not-forprofit model that helps bring down costs for customers. The market will also host a rotating assortment of local vendors selling healthy goods and products and a variety of resource tables focusing on city programs and services. The Sandler Square area brings a host of benefi ts for market attendees and vendors, including closer access to public transit and increased foot traffi c in the area.

It commemorates all those individuals who sacrifi ced their lives. Outside of this day, we must never lose sight of the millions of servicemen and servicewomen who made it home to their families but are fi ghting a new battle. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates that over 3.9 million veterans have a substance use disorder or mental illness. Moreover, substance use disorders significantly increase suicidality among veterans ages 18 and older. Suicidal thoughts and behaviors occur frequently among veterans ages 19 to 49. In Massachusetts, there are over 300,000 veterans, over half of them aged 65 and over. There are many reasons why veterans struggle with addiction and mental health issues. “There is a correlation between veterans and substance use disorders, homelessness, and suicide. Yet, this is preventable with early intervention and treatment,†said Michael Leach of Addicted.org. Many veterans struggle to adjust to civilian life, face fi nancial hardships, and have diffi culty fi nding employment or accessing benefi ts. Mental and emotional health concerns can lead to signifi cant problems, such as unwanted thoughts or feelings. Untreated trauma is common among veterans, which can lead to substance use as a means of coping. Veterans also face barriers when accessing help, such as cost and insurance gaps. Communities experience inadequate funding and limited access in rural locations. Stigma regarding addiction and mental illness is also problematic. Fortunately, there are options to consider. Outside of the VAFacility locator through the U.S. Department of Veterans Aff airs, other resources include: • Military and veterans services are off ered through city websites and the state website Mass.gov; • SAMHSA provides a treatment facility locator where veterans can fi nd services specifi c to their needs; • Helpful hotlines include the Veteran Crisis Line, 1-800-2738255, and the Lifeline for Vets, 1-888-777-4443. When covering costs, families may consider combining VA benefi ts with other forms of insurance, such as private health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, to reduce costs. Families play a signifi cant role in supporting veterans. Speak to them often, openly and honestly about their substance use. Express concern, but do not pass judgment. Help them fi nd treatment. Be patient and show compassion for what they are going through. Remember, addiction and mental health issues are treatable. Drug and alcohol treatment centers often off er specialized treatment programs for veterans and treat co-occurring disorders. Treatment centers have become increasingly better equipped to help veterans. It takes families and communities coming together to help our veteran population. Too many men and women who served this country are struggling in silence. While on this Memorial Day, we honor those who lost their lives, we must continue to fi ght for those who are alive with us today. Veronica Raussin is a Community Outreach Coordinator for Addicted.org, passionate about spreading awareness of the risks and dangers of alcohol & drug use.

Flowers, jewelry and special outings are hot items this year, and 84% plan to celebrate, according to the NRF. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) reminds everyone to exercise caution when shopping online and in stores when spending money. BBB’s Annual Risk Report identifi es online purchasing scams as the riskiest. Here are a few tips for shopping for Mother’s Day gifts: • Shopping online: Avoid suspicious websites and glossy pop-up ads. Ensure the website has the “https://†and the “lock†icon in the URL. Don’t click on hyperlinks in unsolicited emails. Pay with a credit card or PayPal. Understand return and refund policies. Read the fi ne print. BBB has more tips for online shopping at https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/14040-bbbtip-smart-shopping-online • Flowers: Since Mother’s Day flower sales are the secondhighest sales period for your local florist, it’s important to choose wisely and fi nd someone you can trust with your order. Complaints fi led with BBB about florists have included fl owers being late, wrong or not delivered. Also, it is not uncommon for local fl ower shops to be affi liated with third-party entities. BBB advises consumers to confi rm that the business they place their order with is affi liated with that online source. If you send fl owers to your mother in another city, it is best to check online for a fl orist in her area. Make sure you have enough time for delivery; ask about all fees associated with your order; and make sure the date is specified clearly and guaranteed when you order. — Read more about buying fl owers at https://www.bbb.org/ article/news-releases/17026bbb-tip-choosing-a-fl orist — Research the fl orist industry, looking at positive and negative reviews and complaints on BBB.org. — Find a fl orist near you in the BBB directory at https://www. bbb.org/near-me/retail-fl orist • Electronics: Whether you SHOPPING | SEE Page 18 VERONICA RAUSSIN Community Outreach Coordinato ׉ Ú7cassandra://L7iMLzNCmS7Kams8YTqjxySHbvqOoadLENcyDbe0gJUÍ(€Í`Ì°Í×d]]!œÂë#x‚@׉EÚ¢THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023 Page 13 BBB Tip: Hiring construction and remodeling services you can trust T here are many motivations for taking on a remodeling project – improving curb appeal, adding new features to a room, updating your interior, etc. Before starting construction or remodeling, homeowners must consider carefully who should work in their home; fi nd Better Business Bureau (BBB)– rated remodeling companies near you at https://www.bbb. org/near-me/remodeling.

Pooled trusts are utilized typically when a single individual is applying for MassHealth benefi ts and is over the asset limit. A Payment is made to the non-profi t organization that administers the pooled trust in order to reduce the applicant’s countable resources to $2,000. The administrator of the pooled trust may use the monies set aside for the applicant for support services that MassHealth does not pay for or for the purchase if items that MassHealth does not pay for, such as a computer. Any monies left over upon the MassHealth recipient’s death has to be utilized to pay back MassHealth for benefi ts paid on behalf of the recipient and typically 10% of the funds remaining will be kept by the pooled trust organization (often 20% if the recipient was receiving MassHealth benefi ts for two years or longer). If there are still monies remaining, those monies will be distributed to the family of the MassHealth recipient. The benefit is that MassHealth pays a nursing home anywhere from fifty to sixty percent of the private pay amount. Therefore, the amount that has to be repaid is much lower than the private pay rate allowing for the funds in the pooled trust to last longer. There is a chance that money will be left for the family to enjoy. Currently, a single person can put money into a pooled trust if over the eling work you like. Find pictures of what you like to show the contractor what you want. If you leave any decisions up to the contractor, ensure you put budget and material requirements in the contract. Be clear about who is responsible for ordering materials and when they need to do it. Remember that delivery and construction times might aff ect your schedule; decide when workers may be in your home and where they should store any materials and equipment when they are not there. • Figure out your entire budget. Don’t forget things like eating out more than usual if you are doing a kitchen remodel or hotel expenses if you have to move out of your home during any work. Expect to have a little extra money in the budget to cover any unexpected expenses, especially when working on an older home. Decide if you need to split the project into phases based on how the budget is shaping up. If the contractor arranges to fi nance the remodeling work, be sure you understand all aspects of the terms, especially if you are taking out a second mortgage on your home or a home equity line as security. You might want to ask about putting an arbitration clause into your contract in case of any dispute between you and your contractor. Get all changes in writing before work continues. • Inspect prior work. When you talk to potential contractors, ask them for examples of work they have done that is similar to what you want. Find out if it is possible to contact previous clients and inspect the work that was done for them. You will also want to ask the client if the project was fi nished on time, if they were satisfi ed with the work and if any unexpected costs were added during the project. Ask and check to see if the contractor is licensed and bonded in your city and state to perform the work. Be sure to check out their BBB profi le for reviews and licensing information. • Approve architectural plans. If your project requires plans from an architect, ensure you are involved in discussions with them and approve any plans before work begins. • Research permits. Talk to your remodeling contractor about permits and do independent research to determine what is required. Make sure the remodeler will be able to obtain permits before starting the work. Learn more about hiring a reliable and trustworthy contractor. See all of our home improvement tips on BBB.org/ HomeHQ. Always do business with contractors that adhere to BBB Standards for Trust. If you own a business, get accredited. Law Offices of asset limit and immediately qualify for MassHealth. There is no fi ve-year look back period requirement. This recent memo is stating that after March 1, 2024, there will be a fi ve-year lookback period requirement for funds placed into a pooled trust for applicants over the age of 65. Currently, there is no fi ve-year look back period requirement for applicants who have funded a pooled trust at age 64 or younger, regardless of whether an application for MassHealth benefi ts is not submitted until age 65 or later, and that provision will remain the same. The likelihood is that this memo is designed to provide our state legislature time to enact legislation to allow for pooled trust to continue to be utilized as they have been in the past thereby requiring no fi ve-year look-back period in order to avoid a disqualifying transfer. For example, if you wish to transfer your home into an irrevocable trust, you have to wait for fi ve years in order to avoid a disqualifying transfer. We’ll see what law is actually passed in hopes of protecting the use of pooled trusts. Joseph D.

The loss knocked the visiting Mustangs out of a first-place league tie with Everett. Ignited by a leadoff home run from Ally Straccia, the Patriots then got doubles from Lea Doucette and Emma Cassinello and a walk from Shayna Smith. Cassinello’s double led to two runs, and Jordan Martelli contributed a third two-bagger to drive in another tally and make it 4-0 in the opening inning. Singles by Cassinello and Brianna Miranda led to another run on a Martelli groundout in the third. Doucette then smoked a three-run home run in the fourth to give Revere a solid 8-3 advantage. Smith doubled in Revere’s fi nal run in the sixth inning to give the Patriots all the runs they would need, though the Mustangs did battle back to make it close. Head Coach Megan O’Donnell praised her entire team, telling the press that the Patriots “put everything they had into this win and played as a team.†She cited the defensive eff ort of Riley Straccia, Arianna Keohan, Martelli and Miranda, as well as the strong pitching performance from Isabella Qualtieri, who surrendered just fi ve hits Brianna Miranda had a solid game in Revere’s upset win over top league foe Medford last Wednesday. Infi elder Riley Straccia was strong on defense in last week’s victory over Medford.   îˆîîŒî„î…îîˆ î€°î’îšîŒî‘îŠ î€¶îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ  î“î•îŒî‘îŠ î€‰ î„îî îîˆî„î‘î˜î“î– î‚‡ î˜îî†î‹  î‡îŠîŒî‘îŠ î‚‡ î’î‡ î’î• î€¶îˆîˆî‡ î„îšî‘î– î‚‡ î‹î•î˜î… îî„î‘î—îŒî‘îŠ î€‰ î•îŒîîîŒî‘îŠ î‚‡ î„î—îˆî•  îˆîšîˆî• îˆî“î„îŒî•î– î’îˆ î€³îŒîˆî•î’î—î—îŒî€ î•î€‘ and fanned four in her seven innings of work. Qualtieri also induced 11 ground ball outs. Two days after the Medford win, the Patriots were close to claiming another victory last Friday before host O’Bryant rallied late in the game to win by a 6-3 score. Doubles by Qualtieri and Smith and a single by Frankie Reed helped lead to the early three-run uprising. Keohan added two hits to the Revere cause.

The Patriots hosted Malden on Wednesday and then resume action on Monday, May 15, when they host Greater Boston League rival Everett. Sporting a 6-7 overall record entering this week’s play, it’s likely that Head Coach Mike Manning and his team will need to chock up at least four more victories the rest of the way to ensure a place in the state postseason tournament. The Patriots evened their record briefl y at 6-6 last Wednesday when they traveled to league rival Medford and held on for a 2-1 win. Starting pitcher Chris Cassidy was dominant most of the way by hurling a perfect game through fi ve innings before the Mustangs were able to get to him in the sixth. Kyle Cummings relieved Cassidy with two gone in the sixth and locked down the win by getting the fi nal four outs. Revere’s solid and error-free performance in the fi eld also played a key role in the league win. In last Saturday’s loss to the East Boston Jets, Revere did score four times.

However, he left behind a meaningful legacy through his involvement in the creation of this iconic charity bicycle ride to raise funds for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, education, and care. The legacy of Harbor to the Bay stands as a testament to Michael's selfl essness and dedication to making a diff erence in the world.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local representatives voted with their party’s leadership during the fi rst four months of the 2023 session. The votes of the 2023 membership of 24 Republicans were compared with those of GOP House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading). The votes of the 2023 membership of 131 Democrats were compared to House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 25 votes from the 2023 House session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not quorum calls or votes on local issues. Rep. Susannah Whipps (UAthol) is unenrolled and not affi liated with either the Republican or Democratic party. We based her voting record on how many times she voted with Democratic House Speaker Ron Mariano. THE DEMOCRATS: A total of 125 (95.4 percent) of the 131 Democrats voted with Mariano 100 percent of the time. There were only six Democratic repreYour Hometown News Delivered!

Each one voted against Mariano only once. THE REPUBLICANS: One hundred percent of the 24 GOP members voted with Jones 100 percent of the time.

The number in parentheses represents the number of times the representative opposed his or her party’s leadership. Some representatives voted on all 25 roll call votes. Others missed one or more roll calls. The percentage for each representatives is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted. Rep. Jessica Giannino 100 percent (0) Rep. Jeff Turco 96 percent (1) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GROWING HEMP (S 40) - The Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Committee heard testimony on a bill that would allow Massachusetts farmers to grow and sell hemp that is used to make products for commercial sale. Under current law, only industrial hemp (hemp used solely for industrial purposes) can be grown in the Bay State. If the bill passes, many allowable products would be made from hemp including cosmetics, personal care and grooming products; animal and human products intended for consumption such as dietary supplements, foods and beverages; and products intended for other uses such as cloth, fi ber, fuel, paint, paper, particleboard and plastics. The measure allows land with hemp crops to be considered farmland for tax purposes and sets up a licensing system for hemp growers. Sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (DNorthampton) said she fi led the bill to bring the state defi nition of hemp in line with the federal defi nition, to allow for the sale of edible CBD products from locally grown hemp in marijuana stores and to authorize the Department of Public Health to regulate CBD in food. “Hemp is a valuable agricultural crop, with many uses, but the commonwealth currently does not allow farmers to sell this product in ways that maximize its full potential,†said Comerford. “You can buy CBD products in the state of Massachusetts but they won’t be made with Massachusetts-grown hemp. That does not make sense. The hemp industry and hemp farmers deserve sensible policies.†RAW OR UNPASTEURIZED MILK SALES (S 43) – The Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture’s hearing also included legislation that would allow licensed raw milk farmers to deliver raw milk directly to the consumer. Current law allows only the on-farm sale of raw milk. The measure also allows raw milk farmers to sell raw milk from their farm stands even if the stand is not contiguous to their raw milk dairy. The bill would also allow farmers to sell raw milk to consumers through third-party cooperative buying clubs. This would allow consumers to join together and have the milk delivered to a nearby location so each individual consumer does not have to travel miles to the few farms that sell on-site. “Our farms and farmers struggle and allowing the sale of raw milk off farm premises, such as at a Farmers Market, not only helps farmers economically but makes it easier for consumers,†said sponsor Sen. Anne Gobi (DSpencer). CHOKING ON FOOD (H 2130) – The Public Health Committee held a hearing on a proposal expanding the current law that requires restaurants with more than 25 seats to have on the premises an employee trained in manual procedures to remove food lodged in a customer’s throat. The measure would make the requirements apply to all restaurants regardless of their seating capacity. The measure exempts take-out only restaurants and food trucks. It also eliminates the option of having a manual device on the premises for removing stuck food because critics say it has been determined that such devices are dangerous. Another provision prohibits any person who has been properly trained from being held liable for any civil damages as a result of any acts or omissions provided during the emergency assistance. Supporters noted that ChokeSave classes are given by the American Red Cross and are inexpensive. They are also often offered by municipal Departments of Health and Human Services. “[This bill], known as the ‘Choke Save’ bill, removes the 25-person threshold to require choke response training for restaurant employees because someone can choke as easily in a smaller venue as a larger one,†said sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton). “This bill will save lives by ensuring that restaurant employees will be able to respond to a choking emergency immediately, rather than delaying a response until emergency personnel might arrive.†QUOTABLE QUOTES “Labor issues are still hindering employers, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the number of problems small business owners face in Massachusetts.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and enate 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 latenight 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 May 1-5, the House and Senate each met for a total of 20 minutes. Mon. May 1 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:08 a.m. Senate 11:05 a.m. to 11:11 a.m. Tues. May 2 No House session No Senate session Wed. May 3 No House session No Senate session Thurs.

Don’t Have Much Dear Don’t, Very good question! Almost everyone needs a will, but only around one-third of American have actually prepared one. Having a last will and testament is important because it ensures your money and property will be distributed to the people you want to receive it after your death. If you die without a will (a.k.a. dying “intestateâ€), your estate will be settled in accordance with state law. Details vary by state, but assets typically are distributed using a hierarchy of survivors i.e., fi rst to a spouse, then to children, then your siblings, and so on. You also need to be aware Joe DiNuzzo 617-680-7610 that certain accounts take precedence over a will. If you jointly own a home or a bank account, for example, the house, and the funds in the account, will go to the joint holder, even if your will directs otherwise. Similarly, retirement accounts and life insurance policies are distributed to the beneficiaries you designate, so it is important to keep them up to date too. Do You Need a Lawyer? Not necessarily. Creating a will with a do-it-yourself software program may be acceptable in some cases, particularly if you have a simple, straightforward estate and an uncomplicated family situation. Otherwise, it’s best to seek professional advice. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. If you need help finding someone the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org), the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC.org) and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC.org) websites are good resources that have online directories to help you search. Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,000 or more to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several diff erent fi rms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more effi cient. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see FindLegalHelp.org) to fi nd lowcost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral. If you are interested in a do-ityourself will, some top options to consider are Nolo’s Quicken WillMaker & Trust (Nolo.com, $99) and Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com, $159). Or, if that’s more than you’re willing to pay, you can make your will for free at FreeWill.com or DoYourOwnWill.com. It’s also recommended that if you do create your own will, have a lawyer review it to make sure it covers all the important bases. Where to Store it? Once your will is written, the best place to keep it is either in a fi reproof safe or fi le cabinet at home, in a safe deposit box in your bank or online at sites like Everplans.com. But make sure your executor knows where it is and has access to it. Or, if a professional prepares your will, keep the original document at your lawyer’s office. Also, be sure to update your will if your family or fi nancial circumstances change, or if you move to another state. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
