Council Subcommittee battles over
new High School site
By Barbara Taormina
W
hen discussing the new high
school, city councillors rarely
fail to mention how much they
and the entire city want and need
a new school.
Now, they often follow up with
how much they don’t want a
Prop 2 1/2 override, trash fees or
increased fi nes and permit fees
to pay for it.
This week, the City Council’s
Ways & Means subcommittee
took another trip through the
plans and fi nancial estimates for
the project with Senior Project
Manager Brian Dakin and Revere’s
Chief Financial Offi cer Richard
Viscay. There were plenty of
numbers, but no clear answers
on how much the school will cost
and how the city will pay for it.
With Dakin, several city councillors
returned to the contentious
tion that the council wasn’t provided
with a full picture with all
the fi nancial facts before being
asked to approve an eminent domain
taking of the site. Zambuto
also said the former dog track
site was complicated by wetlands,
and that the city was making
an egregious error by taking
the property off the city tax rolls.
The $29 million cost for the

site, which councillors fear could
jump as high as $60 or $70 million,
added to the estimated
$480 million for the building is
a troubling prospect for the city.
“I can’t see how we can pay for
the things on the table without
a debt exclusion or an override,”
said Zambuto. “I’m afraid for the
city, I’m afraid for the taxpayers.”

Vision for Beachmont
arts center begins to
take shape
By Barbara Taormina
T
o encourage and support Revere’s
artistic side, the Public
Arts Commission believes the city
needs space where artists can produce
and present work.
The Commission met this week
with staff from the Metropolitan
Area Planning Council (MAPC) to
discuss ways to meet that need
with the Beachmont Fire Station,
which is on the way to becoming
a public arts center for the city.
Commission members, who were
working on a concept plan for the
center, feel there is a need for both
studio and rehearsal space as well
as performance and gallery space,
both of which can be created in
the empty fi re station. The preservation
of a historic city building
for a new use is an added benefi t
of the project.
The MAPC has awarded the city
a $40,000 technical assistance
grant to help launch the project.
For the MAPC, the fi rst step is surveying
the city to understand
what types of uses of the building
are priorities for the Revere
arts community, and what do residents
hope to see.
Commission member Brian
Hawkins said it is important to
focus on community-based art.
“We’re about more than just putting
murals on walls,” said Hawkins.
“We want to develop our community.”
The
fi re station, which has been
empty for about 17 years and
has been most recently used by

Saying Goodbye to Tommy Birmingham
By Sal Giarratani
ed someone just like him.
When he announced for the
I
was saddened hearing of the
passing of former Senate President
Tom Birmingham who
served the people of his senate
district quite well. Always a vote
and voice of his entire senate
district which back in the 90s included
Charlestown and Revere.
I remember in 1990 when this
unknown politician with both a
Charlestown and Chelsea family
pedigree was elected to represent
a district that really needState
Senate, he did it as a Chelsea
guy who no matter how far
he had traveled over his lifetime
never forgot where he came
from and straddled both those
worlds quite well. As a political
activist with strong Townie
roots, I loved my Charlestown
politics. I had moved out of
Charlestown prior to Birmingham
becoming its senator up on
Beacon Hill but hit it off well with
the new senator from across the
bridge in Chelsea.
Both his parents came from
Charlestown as did my mother’s
side of the family. I remember
when he ran for governor in
2002 and I supported him. We
were kindred spirits politically.
I remember chatting with him
back in the 90s right after he
became Senate President and
we spoke of my published commentaries
and he told me I was
more than just a writer who represented
my working-class roots
growing up, and that I had myself
straddled over to a wider audience
too while still maintaining
my local roots. He may have
graduated from Harvard University,
Harvard Law School and
ended up being a Rhodes Scholar
at Oxford University but he
was always more connected to
his working-class Townie/Chelsea
roots.
The last time I spoke with him
was over at the Knights of Columbus
at a political function
put on by today’s Charlestown
state Senator Sal DiDomenico. It
was good to see Tommy again.
He was now wheelchair-bound
but still had that glowing smile
of his. We only spoke for a few
minutes that evening but they
were a good few minutes.
His funeral Mass was held at
St. Francis de Sales Church up
on Bunker Hill Street. I was there
Saturday morning (January 28)
to say good-bye to a very good
friend. He will never be forgotten
by me and so many others
he served so well.

B-r-r-r-r-r!! Coldest weather in half a decade
moves into the region today, with below-zero
temperatures & potential -30 wind chill
Area residents warned to take precautions –
dress warmly, stay inside whenever possible
By Steve Freker
ll talk of the supposedly mild
winter of 2022-23 will disappear
this weekend as some
of the coldest weather in half
a decade rush in with an arctic
wave. The extreme cold will affect
the entire state of Massachusetts,
according to the National
Weather Service, including
Eastern Massachusetts and
The Advocate readership area
of Everett, Malden, Saugus and
Revere.
A
entine’s Day weekend in 2016,
when temperatures dropped
to -9 degrees. The extreme temperatures
will settle in in the early
morning hours on Saturday
and rise slightly above zero and
only as high as about 10-15 degrees
throughout the day.
According to the National
Weather Service, a “brutal windchill”
will accompany the dangerously
cold air mass, which
could dip as low as 25-30 degrees
below zero in our greater
Boston and North Shore areas of
Massachusetts – even lower to
-40 below zero in other parts of
the state. One of the most dangerous
aspects of the extreme
cold air mass, forecasters say, are
the expected wind gusts up to
35 to 45 miles per hour, making
it feel even colder. The windchill
– a measure of what it will feel
like due to the combination of
temperatures and wind – is expected
to be close to 30 below
zero Friday night into Saturday
morning.
The National Weather Service

Forecasters say the megaextreme
cold air mass – which
combined with wind gusts
could produce a near-record,
-30 below zero wind chill factor
– arrives late tonight and early
Saturday morning, and temperatures
could drop as low as
5 to 10 degrees below zero by
midnight. It is potentially record-setting,
as the existing record
for February 4 in Boston is
-4 degrees below zero. A -5 degrees
reading would establish a
new record cold. It would be the

a windchill watch for all of

to Saturday afternoon. The
peak of the windchill is expected
through early Friday evening,
forecasters said, before it drops
off slightly overnight into Saturday.
City
and town offi cials in all
of our Advocate communities
are urging all residents to be
extremely cautious in conjunction
with this weather, including
how to dress in extreme
cold and to stay inside as much
as possible. The same advice is
for humans and pets when venturing
outdoors in extreme cold.

Board of Health suspends retail tobacco licenses,
administers fines for violations
By Barbara Taormina
he Revere Board of Health recently
focused its attention
on the sale of cigarettes to minors
under the age of 21.
At a meeting earlier this
month, board members heard
a report from Bonny Carroll, director
of the Six-City Tobacco
Initiative, which uses undercover,
underaged customers to determine
if retailers are following
state laws that regulate tobacco
sales. During December, fi ve local
businesses were found in violation
of those laws. Carroll said
they were issued cease and desist
orders, fi ned $1,000 and had
T
their tobacco sales license suspended
for three days. The owners
of several of the businesses
were at the meeting to appeal
the fi nes and suspensions.
Attorney Cosmo Karololos,
who represented Gio Liquors,
explained the facts surrounding
the violation. Karalolos said
his client had been in business
on Broadway for four years with
no prior violations. The employee
who failed to check an
ID and made the sale was relatively
new and has since been
fi red. Karalolos also presented
Gio Liquors’ plans for compliance,
which include employee
training, an employee manual
and software that can scan and
check IDs. Karalolos asked that
the $1,000 fi ne be remitted.
Dr. Drew Bunker, chairman of
the board, said Gio’s response
was what health offi cials hope
to see in the wake of a violation.
You’ve done everything
you could do, he told the owner
of Gio’s. However, he said the
board would have to move forward
with the fi ne and suspension.
“I don’t feel good about it,
but unfortunately, we have to
follow the law,” he said, adding
that the city could fi nd itself in
legal trouble if they didn’t.
According to Carroll, the new
state law requires that anyone
buying cigarettes or tobacco
products must present an ID,
no matter their age. Speedway,
Beachmont Liquors, State Road
Liquors and Olympia Market
were also found in violation of
state tobacco laws. She distributed
signs and information for
retailers about how to check IDs.
Bunker said the board understood
that mistakes happen but
the violations were something
the board takes very seriously.
“The law is the law, and we
have to abide by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts and
what the City of Revere has
adopted,” said Michael Wells,
the city’s director of inspectional
services. “It’s steep and I
think why they made the fi nes
so steep is so people learn from
their fi rst violation.”
A second violation carries a
$2,000 fi ne and a seven-day suspension.
A third violation means
a loss of a tobacco sales license.
Members voted unanimously
to uphold the fi nes and suspensions.

vegetables and beans. This will
be Victoria’s third episode of her
own program but her fi fth time
at RevereTV. She began leading
the audience through recipes

NEW VENUE: Re:SET, AN ALL-NEW ARTIST-CURATED OUTDOOR
CONCERT SERIES, INCLUDING HEADLINERS STEVE LACY, LCD
SOUNDSYSTEM AND boygenius

Boston, MA (January 31,
2023) – The Bowery Presents’
new seasonal outdoor general
admission concert venue, The
Stage at Suffolk Downs, announces
the fi rst events at their
new venue. Re:SET, a fresh take
on the multi-artist outdoor concert,
is coming to The Stage at
Suff olk Downs on June 16, 17
and 18 2023, featuring headliners
Steve Lacy, LCD Soundsystem
and boygenius. The Stage
at Suff olk Downs is located at
the legendary East Boston racetrack
at 525 William F McClellan
Highway and is able to host
up to 8,500 concert goers. Visit
www.ReSetConcertSeries.com
for more information.
The innovative concert series
by The Bowery Presents creates
a unique, localized experience
for fans, with each headliner
curating the lineup for their
respective day. Steve Lacy will
keep a focus on genre-bending
artists with James Blake, Toro
y Moi, and Fousheé. Traveling
with LCD Soundsystem are
electronic artist and one-third
of The xx, Jamie xx, explosive
UK rock band IDLES, and experimental
multi-instrumentalist
L’Rain, and more.
boygenius will be bringing
along indie standouts Clairo,
Dijon, and Bartees Strange.
Re:SET was conceived as an artist
and fan friendly alternative to
the standard summer concert
experience.
Taking place over four weekends
in the month of June, each
weekend will see three cities in
the same region hosting, with
each Re:SET headliner playing
each city on consecutive days
(see below for detailed information).
The
concept provides artists
a respite from the cookie-cutter
summer itinerary of sheds
and amphitheaters, while fans
get a leisurely day that features
full sets from every artist, on one
stage with no confl icts.
The weekend will also feature
food and drinks from local restaurants,
bars, and breweries
that refl ect the
character and community of
Boston. Visit www.ReSetConcertSeries.com
for more information.

The Stage at Suff olk Downs
is not the track’s fi rst foray into
live music: The Beatles were the
fi rst band to perform there, playing
to 25,000 screaming fans in
1966. Since then, legendary artists
such as The Jackson 5, Radiohead
and Bjork have also performed.
With The Stage at Suffolk
Downs, The Bowery Presents
and The HYM Investment
Group, LLC, the developer behind
the redevelopment, plan to
honor the site’s musical legacy,
while reinvigorating the space
to bring an open-air summer
concert experience to all.
The opening of The Stage at
Suffolk Downs expands The
Bowery Presents’ owned and
operated venues to three within
the Boston area, joining the
3,500 capacity Roadrunner
(which opened in Brighton in
March 2022) and 525 capacity
The Sinclair in Cambridge,
alongside the Royale (exclusively
booked by The Bowery Presents
with 1,200 capacity), and
the company’s hundreds of annual
concert bookings in theaters
and arenas in the region.
The Bowery Presents is the leading
concert promotion and venue
management company in
the Northeast with venues in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
and Maine.
Re:SET is partnering with digital
marketing platform Propeller
on a philanthropic initiative
taking place on each site. Propeller
will work with local charities,
as well as a national sustainability
partner, on a fl yaway
promotion to send a lucky fan to
any Re:SET date, travel and hotel

Kevin Alkins said relocation of
wildlife is illegal unless its done
by MassWildlife.
Describing the coyotes’ natural
territory, such as in rural areas,
food is displaced so coyotes
have a larger home range,”
Bird said. “In urban areas, their
food range is approximately
fi ve miles.”
Coyotes howl to communicate
with each other and to attract
a mate during breeding
season. Their populations are
dynamic and ever-changing
based on food resources.

ence, including on what coyotes
eat and what time of day
they come out. Coyotes will eat
small mammals. Coyotes are active
during the day, even when
they’re sick. Children often mistake
a domestic dog, which has
a robust shape, for a coyote.
The Mass. Division of Fisheries
and Wildlife gets more dog bite
than coyote reports. Their fur is
adaptable for winter and summer
seasons.
Bird said she doesn’t recommend
relocating or killing them
since they’re here to stay. Relocating
wildlife is illegal, unless
it’s done professionally by the
state. There are hunting and fi rearm
discharge restrictions also
in place.
“Hazing, such as using air horn
or whistle, and eliminating food
sources can help to control the
population near your home,”
Bird said. “It’s about educating
people, not harming them.”
Wattles added that people
can bang pots and pans to steer
away coyotes from returning
near humans. “We’re trying to
teach coyotes not to come near
homes,” Wattles said. “If it’s being
harassed, it won’t want to be sitting
in your backyard.”
She advised people not to
charge at them and don’t run
either. Coyotes can jump fences,
like dogs.
“It’s best to remember that
they are here to stay,” Bird said.
“Tolerate their behavior well
within reason.”
She added that confl icts often
come from unintentional feeding,
such as trash, compost, pet
food or birdfeed being left outside.
They frequently visit areas
in the day and night.
An audience member asked
if coyotes come out in groups.
Wattles replied that that’s how
they teach their young how
to survive on their own and to
hunt.
Bird advised against intentionally
feeding coyotes. If neighbors
feed them, either have a
conversation with them against
that or have an animal control
offi cer talk to them.
“If you live near conservation
land, that’s a place that coyotes
are naturally going to be,” Wattles
said.

Patriot boys fall short in another
overtime contest, 71-69
By Greg Phipps
T
hough the Revere High School boys' basketball
team has fallen on hard times of late, losing
fi ve straight games as of early this week, the
Patriots continue to play hard and compete. They
lost a heartbreaking overtime game at Lynn Classical
early last week when they let a 14-point
lead slip away, and suff ered another tough OT
setback to the Medford Mustangs on Tuesday.
Against Medford, Revere head coach David
PatriotPatriot

Leary called his team's eventual 71-69 extra-session
defeat a "fantastic high school game." Senior
Domenic Boudreau was back in the lineup
and came through with a strong performance.
He fi nished with a double-double of 21 points
and 13 rebounds. Vinny Vu was also a factor with
16 points to go along with fi ve assists. Vincent
Nichols was the other Patriot in double fi gures
with 13 points.
The Patriots dropped to 5-9 overall on the season
after Tuesday's loss, and resumed action on
Thursday when they hosted Chelsea in their Senior
Night contest. Revere then travels to face off
against Malden next Tuesday.
Like every other team in the Greater Boston
League this season, Revere had the misfortune
of having to play at the juggernaut Lynn English
Bulldogs last Thursday. The Bulldogs were undefeated
at 15-0 as of this week and were winning
by an average margin of around 40 points
a game.

themselves as well as could be expected. The
Bulldogs ended up with an 80-36 victory. For
Revere, Vu canned three shots from three-point
land to fi nish with nine points and sophomore
Sami Mhgizou netted eight. Luke Ellis added fi ve
points and four boards.

The most recent defeat was
a tightly contested 36-32 contest

at home. Center Belma Velic
had a solid outing by scoring
15 points and grabbing six
rebounds. Teammate Shayna
Smith netted four points and
came up big on the boards with
10 rebounds.
Head coach Chris Porrazzo
called it a "frustrating" game for
his Patriots, who traveled for a
game at Chelsea on Thursday
and host Malden next Tuesday
(scheduled 6 p.m. tap).

Girls Sports Programs Expanding
as Interest Grows at Northeast
Metro Tech
year, and another 81 girls taking
part in coed sports such as
Cross Country, Indoor Track, and
Swimming and Diving.
Expanding interest in girls’
sports also led the school to
add freshman teams for volleyball,
basketball and softball, in
addition to the existing varsity
and junior varsity teams for
those sports.
"We want to add as many proSisters

Metro Tech cooperative girls’ hockey team. (Courtesy Northeast Metro Tech)
WAKEFIELD — Superintendent
David DiBarri is pleased
to share that growing interest
among students has led to an
expansion of girls’ sports programs
at Northeast Metro Tech,
and that there are also two girls
wrestling this year.
This year Northeast Metro
Tech added a girls’ ice hockey
program in collaboration with
Wakefield Public Schools, offering
Northeast Metro Tech
girls a chance to play ice hockey
with students from Wakefi
eld. So far six girls have signed
up to play hockey on the cooperative
team, with several racking
up points as the team has a
6 and 8 record.
Sisters Celeste Scoppettuolo
and Gianna Scoppettuolo, of
Revere, are among team leaders
with fi ve goals and nine assists
and three goals and six assists
respectively.
The cooperative ice hockey
program enables Northeast
girls to play against other girls,
whereas they previously played
with the boys’ ice hockey team.
Meanwhile, two girls are wrestling
against boys with the
Northeast Metro Tech varsity
wrestling team, and both are
performing well so far this year.
Northeast wrestlers Shelby
Galex, of Woburn, and Francesca
Casolli, of Revere, have
both contributed to the Northeast
Varsity Wrestling team this
year, with Casolli starting in the
120-pound spot.
"Shelby is an outstanding
leader in our program and she
has a great work ethic," said
wrestling coach Bruce Rich. "She
competes on the coed team and
has won several matches, and
she also fi nished second at the
Senator All-Girl Wrestling Tournament
on Jan. 16 as she faced
20 very competitive girls in her
weight class."
"I would like to congratulate
Francescia on her many accomplishments.
She's one of the
few female wrestlers to be part
of what was once an all-male
varsity team, and she is also
on the National Honor Society,
and an impeccable student all
around," said Northeast Metro
Tech School Committee Member
Anthony L. Caggiano of Revere.
"Francescia is kind and full
of determination. Francescia's
parents attend all of her academic
and sporting events. They
should be proud of the exceptional
daughter they've raised.
This is what Northeast Metro
Tech is all about — the success
and persistence of students and
growing our programs to their
fullest potential."
Additionally, three years ago
the school also added a girls
Field Hockey program, which
began as a club sport but which
has already grown to become a
full varsity team with 20 players
this year.
Existing girls’ sports programs
have grown as well, with 265
girls taking part in programs this
grams as we can, because we
try to be a no cut school," said
Athletic Director Donald Heres.
"More and more students are
coming from the communities
and they're looking forward to
playing sports, so we try to do
whatever we can to provide programs
so we don't have to cut
anybody or deny anyone an opportunity
to compete."
Athletic Director Heres said
the school uses surveys of students
to determine interest in
new sporting programs, which
is how the cooperative ice hockey
program came to be created
this year. Such surveys are
conducted on an ongoing basis,
as the school seeks to identify
areas where student interest
justifi es adding a club or varsity
team.
"Sports offer our students
opportunities to learn about
teamwork, competition, setting
goals and achieving goals
with hard work and dedication,
all while students are able to
improve their physical health,"
said Superintendent DiBarri.
"I'm pleased to see interest
in our sporting programs increase
among girls, and I look
forward to adding even more
programs to provide an avenue
for those who are interested in
competing."

the main instrument. Claudia
will continue to be responsible
for creating and implementing
strategies that will support current
employees and attract new
talent to the City’s workforce. In
addition, Claudia will work with
City Departments and the employees
to make sure there are
practices in place to help expand

practices are increasing communication
with residents in
multiple languages, making it
easier for residents with disabilities

to better connect the City with
its residents.
Prior to joining the City of Revere,
Claudia worked for the
City of Boston and the Commonwealth,
where she held
roles that allowed her to interact
with residents, stakeholders,
diverse organizations, and municipal
and Commonwealth departments.
Her experience gave
her the opportunity to learn the
ins and outs of City and Commonwealth
operations, and the
many ways they can be made
more accessible to residents.

for the state tournament with
nine games still left on the regular
season schedule.
“We have a lot of games left,
and we are starting to gel at
the right time,” said coach Craig
Richards. “We’re staying in the
hunt, because we don’t give up
a lot of shots on goal. We’re getting
good defensive coverage in
front of our goalies.”
The Crimson Tide icemen defeated
St. Joseph’s Prep in a nonleague
game at the Warrior Ice
Arena in Brighton last Saturday,
8-1. The game was called in the
middle of the second period, because
a St. Joe’s player had to be
wheeled off the ice and taken to
the hospital via ambulance after
falling to the ice. It turned out to
be nothing serious, nothing broken,
according to Richards, who
talked to The Phoenix coach Rob
Dwyer the next day.

the visitors trimmed the defi cit

NAVIGATORS UNVEIL SCHEDULE FOR 2023
ALL-STAR SUMMER AT FRASER FIELD
THE DERMODY SJC CASE
O
n January 27, 2023 the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial
Court handed down a decision
in favor of MassHealth
with respect to Medicaid annuities
required beneficiary
designations. This was a longawaited
decision by members
of the Massachusetts Chapter
of the National Academy
of Elder Law attorneys. Several
members of the Massachusetts
Chapter presented an amicus
curiae brief in favor of the
plaintiff in the lawsuit, Laurie A.
Dermody.
The case was originally heard
in the Superior Court in 2017
and the SJC granted an application
for direct appellate review.
Robert G. Hamel purchased
a Medicaid annuity issued by
Nationwide Life in order to
seek approval for his wife Joan
Hamel’s MassHealth application.
He named the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts the remainder
benefi ciary to the “extent
of benefi ts paid”, and his
daughter Laurie A. Dermody
as the contingent benefi ciary.
Upon Robert’s death, prior
to having received all of the
monthly payments under the
annuity policy, Laurie brought
suit against MassHealth and
Nationwide contending that
she, rather than the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, was
entitled to the remainder of the
annuity payments.
A Medicaid annuity is a lastminute
strategy to take excess
assets off of the table
by purchasing it with those
excess assets thereby creating
a non-countable income
stream for the spouse who is
at home, thereby qualifying the
spouse in the nursing home for
MassHealth benefi ts. Congress
intended on providing the at
home spouse with enough income
to pay for monthly living
expenses and not to be impoverished.
The
SJC reasoned that Congress’
intent when it passed
the Defi cit Reduction Act (DRA)
was to name the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts the
remainder benefi ciary on any
Medicaid annuity, regardless
of whether or not the annuity
was purchased by the institutionalized
spouse or the community
spouse. If the community
spouse outlives the term
of the annuity (e.g. fi ve years
of monthly payments), then
he or she will have enjoyed
the benefi t of those monthly
payments over that fi ve year
period. Upon the community
spouse’s death in that situation,
there are no remaining
payments left and no balance
remaining that could be paid
to the State.
However, if the community
spouse dies in year two or
three, for example, the remaining
balance of the annuity must
be paid to the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts to repay it for
any MassHealth benefi ts paid
for the institutional spouse
while in the nursing home. Any
remaining balance after that
can then be paid to the children.
Elder law attorneys have
been unsure as to whether or
not the annuity benefi ciary designation
could state “Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, to the
extent of benefi ts paid on behalf
of the community spouse”.
The hope was that so long as
the community spouse never
went into a nursing home and
qualifi ed for MassHealth benefits,
upon his or her death,
the insurance company would
make payment of the remaining
balance to the children. This
SJC case makes it clear that will
not be the case. The community
spouse will simply have to live
for the entire term of the annuity
policy in order to protect all
of that money. Otherwise, the
state must be paid off in full fi rst
before the children can receive
anything. The SJC stated that
the DRA requires the State to
be named the primary remainder
benefi ciary on the death of
the community spouse.
The SJC did hold that the
Medicaid annuity met all other
requirements of the statute
and was an eff ective strategy
in order to achieve MassHealth
approval for Joan Hamel. As a
further note, the look-back period
was extended from 3 years
to 5 years under the Defi cit Reduction
Act of 2005.

LYNN, Mass. -- The North Shore
Navigators have revealed their
schedule for the 2023 New England
Collegiate Baseball League
(NECBL) season, featuring 22
home games and the 2023 NECBL
All-Star Game, presented by Metro
Credit Union, at historic Fraser
Field. Monday’s announcement
was made by NECBL Commissioner
Sean McGrath and Navs General
Manager Maggie Barden.
North Shore’s home opener at
Fraser Field is scheduled for Friday,
June 9 against the Keene SwampBats.
The 44-game summer slate
will kick off two nights earlier
with a Wednesday, June 7 trip to
play the defending NECBL champion
Martha’s Vineyard Sharks in
Oak Bluff s.
The 16th season of summer collegiate
baseball for the Navigators
will include a total of 22 home
dates, including four regular-season
home games on Friday nights,
three on Saturdays and fi ve on
Sundays. The Navs will also host
the NECBL All-Star Game for the
fi rst time since 2011 on the fi nal
scheduled Sunday of the summer,
July 23, at 4:35 p.m.
Regular-season home games
in 2023 are scheduled to begin
at 6:35 p.m. on Monday through
Thursday nights, 7:05 p.m. on Fridays
and Saturdays, and 5:05 p.m.
on Sundays. The lone exceptions

the city for storage, underwent
a structural and hazardous material
assessment and was found
to be in fair condition. But to create
the commission’s vision of a
performance or teaching space
on the lower level, where fi re engines
were once kept, and the studio
space on the upper level, will
require some renovation for which
the city will be responsible. MAPC
staff , who have worked with other
cities and towns on similar projects,
said the city will need to hire
an operator, possibly a nonprofit
organization, to manage the
modate fi eld trip days for local
schools and camps.
The Navs are excited to feature
promotions and theme nights in
conjunction with local businesses
throughout the 2023 season,
with further details to come in
the spring.
The popular Field of Dreams
Baseball Clinic will return in 2023,
with a pair of Monday through
Wednesday sessions running
from June 26-28 and July 10-12.
Click here to register your child
for the clinic, which will be run
by Navs players and coaches. The
Navs will take to Fraser Field for
6:35 p.m. games on three of the
six total clinic days.
Season passes, which admit
two people to each Navs home
game, are now on sale for $115
and can be purchased by clicking
here. Please contact Barden (maggie@nsnavs.com)
for more information
and questions regarding
ticket sales, booking group
outings, and the Field of Dreams
Baseball Clinic.
On the fi eld, the Navs remain in
the Coastal Division alongside the
Martha’s Vineyard Sharks, Mystic
(Conn.) Schooners, Newport
(R.I.) Gulls and Ocean State Waves
(South Kingstown, R.I.) for the second
consecutive year.
The North Division features the
Keene (N.H.) Swamp Bats, Sanford
Mainers, Upper Valley Nighthawks
center. MAPC staff suggested the
building would be leased to an operator
with a set of criteria. However,
with the city chasing every
spare dime to build a new high
school, it’s not clear when that
may happen.
“This is definitely going to
happen,” said Ward 1 Councillor
Joanne McKenna. “It might take a
year, it may take fi ve years, but it
will happen.”
The next step is to test the assumptions
of the commission
about uses for the building. The
commission is also looking for
ways to gather community input
to better understand what residents
want and expect from a
(White River Junction, Vt.) and
Vermont Mountaineers (Montpelier).
The North Adams (Mass.)
Steeple Cats, Bristol (Conn.) Blues,
Danbury (Conn.) Westerners and
Valley Blue Sox (Holyoke, Mass.)
make up the West Division.
North Shore will play seven
games against each divisional
opponent, and a home-andhome
series against each of the
four teams in both the North and
West Divisions.
In the fi nal week of the regular
season, each of the league’s
13 teams will play solely against
division rivals in hopes of qualifying
for the 2023 NECBL Postseason,
which will feature a total
of six teams in the three division
winners and three wildcards
who have the next three highest
winning percentages regardless
of division.
A charter member of the New
England League’s inaugural season
dating back to 1994, the Navs
rejoined the NECBL in 2021 after
a nine-year hiatus and proceeded
to capture the Northern Division
regular-season championship.
The franchise has qualifi ed
for the NECBL playoff s in fi ve of its
fi rst six NECBL seasons and won its
fourth Fay Vincent Sr. Cup in 2010.

public arts center. Surveys, focus
groups, a public meeting and individual
interviews are all being
planned. A concept plan is expected
to be complete by June.
While the arts center is primarily
meant to serve Revere artists and
residents, the center is also an opportunity
to make Revere an arts
destination that showcases the
city. Building and supporting the
arts community is often seen as a
path for economic development.
Hawkins stressed that Revere
has a wide range of working artists
and a richly diverse community to
tap into. “Across the board, we’ve
got people who are gifted artists,”
he said. “We’re a city of creators.”

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There
were no roll calls in the House or
Senate last week.
The debate over the rules on
how the House and Senate will operate
during the upcoming 20232024
session will soon begin, as it
does every year at the beginning
of a legislative session. The rules
are important and have an effect
on how much power individual
members have compared to
House Speaker Ron Mariano (DQuincy),
Senate President Karen
Spilka (D-Ashland) and the rest of
the Democratic leadership team.
A LOOK BACK: Here are some
of the new rules that House Republicans
proposed for the 20212022
session, the comments of
supporters and opponents of the
new rules and how your local representatives
voted. The proposals
were all defeated mostly along
party lines with the vast majority
of Republicans voting for the
changes and the vast number of
Democrats voting against them.
These four rules are likely to be offered
by the GOP soon in the 20232024
session.
TERM LIMITS FOR SPEAKER OF
THE HOUSE (H 3930)
House 35-125, rejected an
amendment that would reinstate
a 2009 rule that prohibited
any representative from serving
as speaker of the House for more
than eight consecutive years. The
rule was repealed in 2015.
“The speaker holds the most
powerful offi ce in the House of
Representatives, but all 160 Representatives
stand as equals when
it comes to representing their constituents,”
said GOP House Minority
Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North
Reading). “Setting term limits on
the speaker’s offi ce is a way to prevent
too much power from being
consolidated in the hands of any
one individual over time. Reinstating
the term limits that were
repealed in 2015 would send a
powerful message that the House
is committed to inclusion and the
periodic transition of power.”
“While I appreciate different
ideas to continuously improve our
Legislature, I do not support term
limits,” said Rep. Jim O’Day (D-West
Boylston). “Term limits can place
the House at a severe disadvantage
during negotiations with the
governor and other offi cials, which
is not benefi cial for advancing legislation
or for our districts.”
(A “Yes” vote is for term limits for
the speaker. A “No” vote is against
term limits for the speaker.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino No
Rep. Jeff Turco
No
POST HOW REPRESENTATIVES
VOTED ON BILLS IN COMMITTEE
(H 3930)
House 38-121 and 41-117, rejected
two similar amendments
that would require that committees
make public how each legislator
on the committee voted on
whether or not to favorably report
a bill to the House. This would replace
a section that would only
post the names of legislators
who voted against the bill and list
the aggregate vote tally without
names, of members voting in the
affi rmative or not voting.
“The public has a right to know
where their legislators stand on
the issues being debated in committee,
and it makes absolutely
no sense to identify by name only
those members who vote “no” at
an executive session or on a poll,”
  
 
said Rep. Brad Jones, sponsor of
one of the amendments. “When
we vote in the House chamber, our
individual votes are displayed for
all to see, and legislative committees
should be held to the same
standard by providing full disclosure
of where each member
stands on a given issue.”
“I believe every resident of Massachusetts
has the right to hold
their elected state representative
accountable,” said Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven
(D-Somerville), the sponsor
of the other amendment. “Under
current rules, there is no accountability
on the votes we take
in committee. This amendment
ensures that every vote taken in
committee is available to the public,
including when bills are sent to
[a] study [committee].”
Rep. Joe Wagner (D-Chicopee)
opposed the listing of which
representatives vote “yes” or did
not vote. “The names of votes of
those voting in the negative being
there for everyone to see is suffi
cient in terms of transparency,”
said Wagner. “I have always been
concerned, and I’ve chaired committees
for about 20 years, and I
have been always concerned that
when we take votes in committee,
the votes that we take to advance
legislation does not refl ect necessarily,
when an affi rmative vote is
taken, the support for the matter
as it is before the committee.”
Wagner continued, “So, for example,
there are points at which
members will vote affi rmatively
to move a matter from a committee
because they support the idea
conceptually of a particular piece
of policy or legislation … And so I
think that where a vote in the negative
is very clear, a vote in the affi
rmative is less clear. And there are
interest groups and there are people
frankly who may have agendas
and would use a vote in the affi rmative,
if a member’s name were
attached in that way, to try to discredit
a member perhaps or potentially
misconstrue a member’s
position on a particular issue.”
(Both roll calls are listed. On
both roll calls, A “Yes” vote is for
the amendment. A “No” vote is
against it.)

TO VOTE IN COMMITTEE (H 3930)
House 35-124, rejected an
amendment that would give legislators
two hours to vote electronically
when casting a vote on a bill
in committee.
“Members are often given very
little time to respond to committee
polls, even when the poll involves
multiple bills and complicated
issues,” said sponsor Rep.
Brad Jones. “One of the more
glaring examples … was a recent
House Ways and Means poll that
gave members just 16 minutes to
review a 38-page supplemental
budget and a separate election reprecincting
proposal. That is simply
not enough time to properly
review and understand these bills.”
Opponents of the amendment
said it goes too far. They argued
the current system works fi ne and
that always allowing two hours
can delay getting some important
and urgent bills to the House fl oor.
(A “Yes” vote is for giving two
hours to vote. A “No” vote is against
giving two hours.)

GIVE LEGISLATORS 72 HOURS
TO READ CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
REPORTS (H 68)
House 35-123, rejected an
amendment that would give legislators
72 hours to read a conference
committee report before voting
on it. Current rules allow the
conference committee report to
be considered the next day.
“Conference committees often
require weeks or even months of
negotiations between the House
and Senate to arrive at a compromise
bill that can be presented to
the membership for a vote,” said
amendment sponsor Rep. Brad
Jones. “The current process allows
very little time between the
release of the conference committee
report and the vote to accept
the report for members to review
and understand what they’re actually
voting on. Providing a 72-hour
window would give both the public
and legislators a better understanding
of what’s included in the
conference committee report before
a vote is taken.”
“We are a deliberative body oftentimes
debating issues for a half
of the session,” said Rep. Daniel
Hunt (D-Dorchester). “Over a year
and a half we have come together
and have great debate over the
bills. Amendments are fi led. The
Senate takes the same action. We
might look at what the Senate
did and further amend our bill.
We then go to conference, where
three members of each side sit in
lengthy debate on our behalf and
when the bill comes back to us it’s
an up or down vote. I do appreciate
the leader’s point where at the
end of last session, because of necessity,
because of the global pandemic,
because of the extended
session and the hour of the day,
oftentimes reports were out in a
24-hour period.”

hours. A “No” vote is against giving
72 hours.)

conti asked if the council could
see a comparison of building at
Wonderland and the existing site.
Rebuilding on the existing site
has been passed over because of
the opposition of neighbors who
feared their homes would be taken
by eminent domain and the
concern about students being
stuck in a construction site particularly
after the academic hardships
they faced during the pandemic.
Although several councillors
said they were told the city
could lose Mass. School Building
Association funding if the project
reverted back to the original
site, Dakin said it was possible
but would require MSBA approval
and would set the project
back a couple of years.
Dankin told councillors hard
and fast numbers were impossible
to promise because of rising
costs in the construction industry,
which are higher than most
professionals can remember.
Cost increases have been worked
into the estimate.
Council President Patrick Keefe
told Viscay what everyone on the
council wanted to hear is that the
school can be built and paid for
without an override or debt exclusion.
“Can
we do it with the funding
we have coming in?” Keefe asked
adding that he would do his part
in looking for possible cuts in the
city’s operating budget.

of up to $500 per hearing aid and
then 80 percent coverage of the
next $1,500 for each hearing aid.
“This legislation was first
brought to my attention by a senior
citizen in my district who cannot
aff ord his hearing aids,” said
co-sponsor Rep. Jessica Giannino
(D-Revere).
“This bill will go a long way to
improving the quality of life for
people of the commonwealth,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Sean Garballey
(D-Arlington). “It builds on top
of a law that was passed allowing
children up to the age of 21 to receive
hearing aids. This current
bill would expand that coverage
to every person.”
RECOGNIZE HIGH SCHOOL
CHEERLEADING AS A SPORT (HD
4074) – Would designate and treat
high school cheerleading as a legitimate
sport and have it governed
by the Massachusetts Interscholastic
Athletic Association
(MIAA) which currently governs
19 other high school sports.
“I fi led this bill to have cheerleading
designated a sport at the
high school level, governed by
the MIAA so that it is supported
like all other team-based athletic
programs off ered in high schools
across the state,” said sponsor Rep.
Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica). “I
have fi led it … for the town of Billerica,
[because] our cheerleading
program is one of the best in the
state and just won their 8th state
championship this past March.”
Supporters said that Bay State
high school cheerleading is currently
governed by the Massachusetts
Schools Administrators’
Association (MSAA) which only
supports Cheer/Game Day, Dance
and eSports. They argued it would
be more appropriate to have the
MIAA run and support this highly
athletic and competitive sport.
HIS, HER AND THEIR EXCELLENCY
THE GOVERNOR (HD 3598 and
HD 3729) – Would amend the part
of the state constitution that creates
the title “His Excellency” for
the governor and lieutenant governor.
The proposal would add
two more possible titles – “Her Excellency”
and “Their Excellency.”
“It’s time to bring Massachusetts
into the 21st century,” said
sponsor Rep. Jenny Armini (DMarblehead).
“Given who is sitting
in the corner offi ce, it’s obviously
ridiculous that the constitution
doesn’t recognize Gov. Healey’s
gender. We must plan for the
future, which is why these bills
also include language to accommodate
those across the gender
spectrum.”
RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE
FROM $15 PER HOUR TO $20 PER
HOUSE (HD 3965) – Would increase,
over a 4-year period (20242027),
the minimum wage from
$15 per hour to $20 per hour; and
the tipped worker minimum from
$6.75 to $12, increasing it from 45
percent of minimum wage to 60
percent of it. Another provision
beginning in 2028, would index
the minimum wage for infl ation,
using the consumer price index.
“While we celebrate the significant
victory of the 2018 law, we
know that working families and
individuals are still under enormous
fi nancial stress with rising
infl ation and increased costs of
housing and living,” said sponsor
Rep. Tram Nguyen (D-Andover).
“They are struggling to meet
their basic needs and provide for
their families.”
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“One of the most eff ective ways
to reduce tobacco use, not only
among low-income individuals
but also for youth, is to signifi -
cantly increase the tax on all tobacco
products, including e-cigarettes.
Multiple studies have
shown that every 10 percent increase
in the price of cigarettes
reduces consumption by about 4
percent among adults and about
7 percent among youth.”
---The American Lung Association
recommending that Massachusetts
lawmakers increase the
state’s current $3.51 per pack tax
on cigarettes by at least $1.
“We need tax reform. We need
tax relief. Making Massachusetts
more competitive and attractive
means doing just that. I know how
important this is to the business
community.”
---Gov. Maura Healey in a
speech to the business group
Associated Industries of Massachusetts.
“The
dedicated men and women
who keep our communities
safe too often hide the significant
stress and trauma they incur
from the job. Every offi cer in the
commonwealth must have access
to quality mental health services
and peer support to combat
this stigma.”
---Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New
Bedford) on distribution of money
for a statewide grant program,
which he created via legislation
in 2018, providing police offi cers
across Massachusetts with access
to mental health services and
peer support.
“We know that when kids are
hungry at school they cannot
learn. We know that hungry kids
have problems concentrating,
have lower academic achievement,
suff er cognitive development
impairments and exhibit
more behavioral problems in their
food secure peers.”
---Rep. Andres Vargas (D- Haverhill)
on his bill that would allow
every Massachusetts student to
receive free breakfast or lunch in
school without providing income
or other eligibility information.
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S
SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call
tracks the length of time that the
House and Senate were in session
each week. Many legislators say
that legislative sessions are only
one aspect of the Legislature’s job
and that a lot of important work
is done outside of the House and
Senate chambers. They note that
their jobs also involve committee
work, research, constituent
work and other matters that are
important to their districts. Critics
say that the Legislature does not
meet regularly or long enough to
debate and vote in public view on
the thousands of pieces of legislation
that have been fi led. They
note that the infrequency and
brief length of sessions are misguided
and lead to irresponsible
late-night sessions and a mad rush
to act on dozens of bills in the days
immediately preceding the end of
an annual session.
During the week of January 2317,
the House met for a total of 12
minutes while the Senate met for
a total of 23 minutes.
Mon. Jan. 23 House 11:03 a.m.

How to Cover Dental
Care in Retirement
Dear Savvy Senior,
I had dental insurance through my work for many years
but lost it when I retired and joined Medicare. Where can
retirees fi nd aff ordable dental care?
Uninsured Al
Dear Al,
Unfortunately, about twothirds
of U.S. retirees don’t have
dental insurance today. Without
coverage from traditional Medicare,
and with private dental insurance
typically costing too
much to be feasible, most seniors
are stuck paying full outof-pocket
prices every time they
visit a dentist. While there’s no
one simple solution to aff ordable
dental care there are a variety
of options that can help cut
your costs. Here’s where to look.
Medicare Advantage: While
dental services are mostly excluded
under original Medicare,
many Medicare Advantage plans
do provide coverage for dental
care, but it’s usually very limited.
Medicare Advantage plans are
government approved health
plans (usually HMOs and PPOs)
sold by private insurance companies
that you can choose in
place of original Medicare. To
shop and research Advantage
plans in your area visit Medicare.
gov/plan-compare or call 800633-4227.
Dental
insurance: If you have
gum problems and need extensive
dental care, a dental insurance
plan may be worth the
costs versus paying for care yourself.
Monthly premiums for individual
plans range from about
$20 to $80. A typical plan includes
two or three cleanings
and checkups per year, but these
plans will likely have a waiting
period – anywhere from a few
months to a few years – before
coverage for more expensive
procedures kicks in. To fi nd dental
plans in your area, see eHealthInsurance.com.
Dental
savings plans: While
savings plans aren’t as comprehensive
as insurance, they are a
good option for those who don’t
have dental insurance. How this
works is you pay an annual membership
fee – around $80 to $200
a year – in exchange for 10 to 60
percent discounts on service and
treatments from participating
dentists. To fi nd a savings plan,
go to DentalPlans.com (or 888632-5353)
where you can search
for plans and participating dentists,
as well as get a breakdown
of the discounts off ered.
Veterans’ benefi ts: If you’re a
veteran enrolled in the VA health
care program or are a benefi ciary
of the Civilian Health and Medical
Program (CHAMPVA), the VA
offers a dental insurance program
that gives you the option
to buy dental insurance through
Delta Dental and MetLife at a reduced
cost. The VA also provides
free dental care to vets who have
dental problems resulting from
service. To learn more about
these options, visit VA.gov/dental
or call 877-222-8387.
Cheaper dental care: Because
prices can vary by dentist,
one way to ensure you get
a good deal on your dental care
is to call multiple provides and
compare prices. To get an idea of
what diff erent dental procedures
cost in your area, see FairHealthConsumer.org.
If you’re paying
cash, it’s also perfectly reasonable
to ask your dentist for a discount.
There
are also a number health
centers and clinics that provide
low-cost dental care to those in
need. And all university dental
schools and college dental hygiene
programs off er dental care
and cleanings for less than half
of what you would pay at a dentist’s
offi ce. Students who are supervised
by their professors provide
the care. See TeethWisdom.

or school near you.

ince the U.S. Supreme Court
struck down a federal ban
in 2018, sports gambling has
exploded in popularity. According
to the American Gaming
Association, a record 46.6
million people planned to bet
COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SALES & RENTALS
on the 2022-2023 NFL season.
That’s nearly 18 percent of all
American adults! If you’re planning
on getting in on the action,
first learn how you can
maximize your fun and play responsibly.
The Better Business
Bureau (BBB) off ers the following
tips for responsible sports
betting:
• Understand gambling terminology.
A basic wager in
which you bet on who will win
a game is called a money line
bet, but there are many other
terms you’ll need to get to
know as well. Get familiar with
point-spread, prop and futures
bets and how each works. In
addition, learn what terms like
juice, parlay, total and teaser
mean before you start placing
bets.
• Get familiar with sports
Norma Capuano Parziale
617-590-9143
statistics. It should go without
saying, but don’t place a
bet without researching. Use
reputable sources to get statistical
breakdowns on the teams
and players on whom you want
to bet to ensure the odds are in
your favor.
• Set limits for yourself. The
Joe DiNuzzo
617-680-7610
International Center for Responsible
Gaming (ICRG) recommends
establishing what
constitutes an acceptable loss
before you start gambling.
Knowing when to stop and
only gambling with money you
can aff ord to lose is critical. You
might also want to set time limits
for yourself regarding sports
betting.
• Avoid high-risk betting.
Don’t borrow money to gamble,
and avoid gambling if you
are emotionally distressed. Remember
that gambling under
the infl uence of alcohol is risky
since your good judgment
could be compromised.
• Only place bets with reputable
bookmakers. Whether
you’re placing a bet in person
or online, only use “white-listed”
sports books that your local
gaming commission approves.
• Be wary of paid handicappers.
Sports handicappers
might off er amazing odds,
thanks to “insider information,”
but often scams are behind
their too-good-to-be-true
promises. Some handicappers
off er money-back guarantees
or free picks if you make a losing
wager, but these are also
signs of a scam.
• Watch out for scams. Handicappers
aren’t the only source
of scams regarding sports betting.
Watch out for pop-up
gambling ads, email spam or
text messages that take you
to websites off ering “risk-free”
bets, exaggerated incentives or
deceptive bonuses. Bogus betting
websites often use these
tactics to draw in unsuspecting
customers.
• Get help if you need it. If
you suspect you or a loved one
suff ers from a gambling addiction,
get help from the National
Council on Problem Gambling.
You can call their hotline
or fi nd other resources available
in your state.
