CFO outlines use of ARPA funds
to City Council
By Adam Swift
evere has received about
half of the $30 million itâ€™s
scheduled to receive in American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding,
with the remaining $15 million
expected to hit city coff ers
by August.
During City Council Ways &
Means Subcommittee budget
hearings, city fi nance director
Richard Viscay fi lled in the council
on how the City of Revere has
appropriated or plans to use
those funds. â€œThese funds cover
the period from March 11, 2021,
to December 2024, with obligated
dollars being spent by December
2026,â€ said Viscay.
Viscay detailed the approval
process for fund requests set up
by Mayor Brian Arrigoâ€™s administration,
with Viscay, the mayorâ€™s
chief of staff , and planning director
Tech Lang reviewing applications
before sending them
off to Arrigo for his fi nal approval.
To date, Viscay said, about $18
million of the $30 million has either
been spent or committed
for various programs. The federal
Covid relief act set up several
categories for the use of the
ARPA funds.
â€œWe set up the $30 million like
any other budget,â€ said Viscay.
â€œWe put $5.3 million of that for
the response of the public health
emergency, and we have committed
and expended approximately
$3.9 million.â€
Some of the uses of the money
in that category are funding for
a new city health and wellness
center on Charger Street and Covid
outreach measures, such as
testing, vaccinations and other
administrative costs. Other projects
include $475,000 for the replacement
of the turf fi eld at Revere
High School and $442,000
towards a Covid vaccination incentive
program for city employees.
The city also set aside almost
$5 million for household assistance,
with $2.2 million towards
housing relief payments for residents,
$555,000, and additional
funds for housing stability legal
assistance.
The small business and nonprofit
assistance includes $4
million mostly administered by
the Planning & Community Development
Department. Those
funds have been used for small
business facade improvements,
a restaurant recovery program
and fi nancial aid to youth sports
nonprofi ts.
About $7.2 million is earmarked
for water and sewer infrastructure.
The administration
is proposing using $3 million of
that to help subsidize water and
sewer rates for residents.
Another $3.4 million is set
aside for travel and tourism purposes,
including the creation of a
new travel and tourism department
in the city.
Viscay said the fi nal $5.2 million
is in a contingency fund for
projects that do not fall into the
other categories. Some of those
funds will be used for riverfront
public improvements and gate
valve and hydrant replacements
across the city.
~ REVERE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE ~
Wanted! Beautifully landscaped
homes and businesses!
ummer will soon be here!
What better way to celebrate
than to beautify your
property?
The Revere Beautification
Committee (RBC), in continuing
its mission of â€œworking to
improve the image of the city
of Revere through an aggressive
cleanup and beautifi cation program,â€
urges all residents to begin
thinking of the various ways
in which their property can be
beautifi ed. To encourage this,
every year the RBC recognizes
homes and businesses that take
special pride in the appearance
of their property.
To be able to do this, the organization
needs your help in
identifying the people who
make an extra eff ort to beautify
their property. After all, you
are the person who might live
next to a very special property
or ride by such a property
on your way to work, the
gym or a shop. Who would be
better qualified to identify a
home/business that deserves
to be recognized? Although
RBC members travel throughout
the city during the warm
weather searching for homes
that meet their criteria, it is impossible
for them to see every
property in the city. Therefore,
they could use your eyes to help
them fi nd worthy properties to
recognize. They are asking all
residents to let them know if a
property should be recognized
for the eff ort that the owner has
expended in making their property
beautiful.
Itâ€™s easy to do. Just call the RBC
at 781-485-2770 and leave the
address of the property that you
think should be considered and
the RBC will do the rest. â€œWe
thank you in advance for all the
help that you can give us. Please
remember to call the Revere
Beautifi cation Committee to
nominate your candidate for
â€œBeautiful Home/Business of
the Monthâ€ award.â€

FATHERâ€™S
DAY

~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~
Mission from Mars
By Gini Pariseau
I
n a conversation not long ago,
I asked a man where he was
from. He told me he was from
Mars originally but had moved
on. Having originally been from
Venus and moved on myself, I
was fascinated to hear about
his journey.
He told me Mars was a starting
point in his Map Quest of life.
Fatherhood was the vehicle that
catapulted him off the planet,
and it took him to a place he had
never known existed. For the
fi rst time in his life, he fastened
his seat belt. From the moment
he beheld that extension of
himself, he realized that Mars
would probably not be a habitable
place for him anymore.
Mars off ered selfi sh awareness,
the supposed liberation of an
unplanned future and a dayto-day
existence that required
little emotion and plenty of instant
gratifi cation.
Fatherhood, from the moment
this man was awarded
the title, was a vehicle that burst
R.Y.O.
forward at whiplash speed. He
cruised through inspiring territories
of awareness and being.
To this very special man, â€œthat
momentâ€ crowned him with responsibility.
Winning was never
again to be determined in
innings or goals or yards. On
Mars, winning was the epitome
of every endeavor or challenge.
Fatherhood changed all
that. Now it wasnâ€™t a matter of
winning. Rather, it was the hope
that when all was said and done,
there would be no losers.
So many of us will celebrate
this Fatherâ€™s Day with special
thoughts and memories of
the journey that these former
Martians took us on. I will never
â€œdine outâ€ without giving
thanks for my fatherâ€™s continuous
eff ort to make sure I knew
my table manners. I will never
start to walk up a set of stairs
and not hear my father always
sayingâ€¦â€Thereâ€™s always something
that needs to be carried

graduated income surtax
amendment ballot question,
the eff ort to suspend the state

considering leaving Massachusetts.
The poll was conducted
with live operators and fi elded
between June 1 - 5, 2022,
surveyed 750 registered voters
with a history of voting in elections.

Senate President Karen Spilka
have rejected bi-partisan attempts
to suspend the state
gas tax, despite neighboring
states doing so. The FAF poll
asked voters if they think Massachusetts
should temporarily
suspend the state gas and
diesel taxes and 68% said yes,
while 18% said no. The poll
asked voters if they are considering
or have made plans to
leave Massachusetts to reside
somewhere else and nearly 1
in 4 voters responded that they
are. For voters who responded
they have plans or are considering
leaving Massachusetts, the
poll off ered selection of several
reasons for why they are leaving
and the number one response
was â€œtaxes are too highâ€ at nearly
32%. A similar poll was conducted
in March by John Zogby
of Zogby Strategies in New York
state that also found â€œtaxes are
too highâ€ as the primary reason
for people leaving that neighboring
Northeastern state.
This is the second FAF poll
that shows that a majority of
voters would be against the
legislatureâ€™s proposed income
surtax amendment ballot question.
In February, the poll found
nearly 52% were against the
question while 37% were in
support of it. This Juneâ€™s poll results
show a sharp shift in opinion
against the proposed ballot
question. Nearly 69% of voters
would not support it, while
only 20% would support it.
Among Massachusetts voters,
concerns over infl ation seems
to be intensifying and the increasingly
high costs associated
with nearly everything may be
causing voters to sour on proposed
policies, and the politicians
that advocate for them.
President Joe Bidenâ€™s job performance
and handling of infl
ation took a hit from FAF polls
in March and February. Nearly
49% approve and 46% disapprove
of the Presidentâ€™s job
performance, a drop from 54%
approve and 44% disapprove
in March. When asked specifically
about President Bidenâ€™s
handling of infl ation, the Presidentâ€™s
numbers continue to
decline. In March, the approval
and disapproval of the Presidentâ€™s
handling of inflation
was tied at 48%, while they
now stand at 38.5% approve
and 53% disapprove. That represents
a 14.5-point swing in
opinion against the Presidentâ€™s
handling of infl ation.
The poll also asked about the
candidates running for Governor.
Once again, infl ation and
overall economic anxiety seem
to be impacting the Governorâ€™s
race. With 60% unsure who they
will vote for in November, Juneâ€™s
poll demonstrates an electorate
that remains unsold on Healey.
â€œThe poll is starting to show
strong changes in feelings on
issues and candidates as a result
of economic anxiety being
the top issue on most peopleâ€™s
minds. The Presidentâ€™s handling
of infl ation is taking a nose dive,
the legislatureâ€™s ballot question
to raise taxes on the affl uent
and small businesses is beginning
to unravel, and nearly
three in fi ve voters remain
undecided in the Governorâ€™s
race, which is not a good sign
for Maura Healey, the establishmentâ€™s
pick,â€ stated Paul D.
Craney, a spokesman for the Fiscal
Alliance Foundation.
â€œFor voters who want to leave
or plan to leave Massachusetts,
they made it clear their primary
reason is due to taxes. When
asked about suspending the
state gas tax, there was overwhelming
support by voters,
which is not encouraging if
you are Senate President Karen
Spilka or Speaker Ron Mariano
who have described gas tax relief
as a â€˜gimmick.â€™ These very
strong feelings as a result of taxes
and infl ation may be the primary
reason for why the legislatureâ€™s
ballot question has seen a
33-point swing since our poll in
February. The campaign for the
grad tax may not be in full swing
but voters are already starting
to sour on it,â€ continued Craney.
â€œThe poll seems to show that
general election voters, who
do not pay as much attention
to daily politics as do primary
or caucus voters, are beginning
to show strong feelings toward
candidates and policies due to
concern for economic anxiety,â€
concluded Craney.

Northshore Education Consortium's
Kevin O'Grady School Raises $7,000
through Walk & Roll Fundraiser
BEVERLY -- Northshore Education
Consortium Executive
Director Fran Rosenberg, Principal
Martha Krol and Family
Center Director Sheila Guiney
are pleased to announce that
the Kevin O'Grady School held
a successful Walk & Roll fundraiser
earlier this month.
On Saturday, June 4, students,
staff , and family members
gathered at the Kevin O'Grady
School. As part of the event,
participants walked or rolled
around the school 10 times. Attendees
also enjoyed music,
ice cream, and socializing with
classmates.
"This was a fantastic way for
the community to get out and
enjoy the fresh air with their
family and friends while supporting
a great cause," Guiney
said. "Many in our student population
have varying abilities,
and I know that students truly
enjoyed participating in an activity
that was inclusive to all."
The event raised more than
$7,000 through donations
from family and friends. Funds
will support the installation of
an outdoor musical memorial
space in honor of several students
and teachers who have
passed away. The space will include
several instruments fi tted
for outdoor use.
"Through the kindness of our
community members, we were
able to raise enough money to
build a memorial space on campus.
This will be a special spot
for students and staff to gather
while remembering and honoring
those who hold a special
place in our hearts," Director
Rosenberg said. "I want to
thank everyone who donated
for their generosity, and all those
who participated for their enthusiasm."

in the lives of our students, are
an opportunity for families to
get to know one another, and
increase awareness of students'
needs. They also are a true testament
to the community atmosphere
that thrives in each

ty Development (DPCD) announced
the fi rst of many department
initiatives that will
be implemented in the Broadway
Business District to stimulate
economic growth and
restore the cityâ€™s downtown
business district. Since 2020,
DPCD has been expanding
Broadway revitalization initiatives,
including the Broadway
Resignalization Project, Restaurant
Recovery Grant Program
and the Storefront and
Signage Improvement Program.
Throughout the pandemic,
small business grant
programs were piloted and
expanded by Mayor Brian Arrigo
to aid struggling business
owners. Now, thanks to funding
sources like the Coronavirus
Local Fiscal Recovery Fund
(CLFRF)/ARPA, the City of Revere
can invest more resources
to expand these initiatives
to benefit even more businesses
and visitors to Revereâ€™s
downtown.
During 2021, DPCD worked
with economic development
planners at the Metropolitan
Area Planning Council (MAPC)
to complete a Local Rapid Recovery
Plan (LRRP), a grantfunded
process that conducted
surveys, fi eld analysis, market
studies, and focus groups
of business owners and other
stakeholders in order to assess
the impact of the pandemic
on small businesses along
Broadway. After months of research
and analysis from these
stakeholders, MAPC and DPCD
completed a report outlining

actionable strategies that can
be used to promote economic
recovery along the Broadway
corridor.
Building on the momentum
of earlier programs, Mayor Arrigo
has approved $420,000 of
CLFRF/ARPA funding to launch
new or expanded initiatives
supporting business revitalization
eff orts on Broadway.
These investments support
priority recommendations
outlined in the fi ndings of the
LRRP) report. The funding will
be used to:
â€¢ Provide tailored, one-onone
small business technical
assistance with an experienced
business consultant
related to fi nancial management,
marketing & merchandising
and expansion of business
operations.
â€¢ Relaunch DPCDâ€™s Storefront
and Signage Improvement
Program with
increased funding and design
services for business and
property owners looking to
invest in upgrading their exterior
storefront or signage.
Storefront and Signage Improvement
Program information
and current applications
are now available at
https://www.revere.org/business-development/storefrontimprovements.
(Note: Applications
for Broadway Small Business
Technical Assistance and
Storefront and Signage Improvements
Loans will available
to small business and or
property owners of the Broadway
corridor beginning on
July 11, 2022.)
â€¢ Create a branding and
wayfinding signage campaign
for Broadway to enhance
visibility, navigation and
the visual identity of the business
district.
Massachusetts Gaming
Commission grant
DPCD has also secured a
$100,000 Community Planning
Grant from the Massachusetts
Gaming Commission
(MGC) to conduct a market
analysis of Broadway and advance
other key LRRP recommendations.
The grant-funded
analysis will explore cross-marketing
potential with other local
and regional attractions,
inform programming to stimulate
economic recovery of
the corridor, and strategize to
highlight the districtâ€™s unique
history, recreational and special
event venues and amenities
to increase foot traffi c and
consumer spending.
Additional initiatives
Other DPCD Broadway initiatives
that will be announced
in June include the completion
of the Broadway Signalization
Project and the kickoff
of the Public EV Charging Station
Program. Visit the Department
of Planning & Community
Developmentâ€™s webpage
on revere.org to learn more
about DPCD projects that include
Broadway, Shirley Avenue,
Squire Road and Suff olk
Downs. This work, coupled
with the cityâ€™s overall master
plan, Next Stop Revere, will create
the tools and policies necessary
for the next generation
of success in Revere.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE â€“ FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2022
City Councilâ€™s Ways & Means Subcommittee Meeting
Library Director adding new positions, bookmobile
By Adam Swift
T
he Revere Public Library is
adding two new positions
and will have an increased budget
for capital improvements in
Fiscal Year 2023. Library Director
Diana Luongo appeared before
the City Councilâ€™s Ways & Means
Subcommittee on Wednesday
evening as part of the FY23
budget hearings, highlighting
recent accomplishments and
plans for the next year.
Luongo pointed to recent
improvements that have been
made to the physical condition
of the library and a revitalized
focus on staffing. â€œWhen I inherited
the library right before
Covid, it was a mess; there were
a lot of old items piled up and
junk,â€ said Luongo. â€œSome of it
we successfully auctioned off
and that [money] went back into
the general fund. We cleared
out the library completely and
refurbished the old fl oors and
brought them back to life.â€
Luongo also noted that when
she took over as director there
wasnâ€™t enough staffi ng in place
to successfully run programs for
the community. She said she
was able to work with the union
to add some new roles and
responsibilities for staff to help
create new positions that could
provide new programming.
In FY23, Luongo said, the library
has two new positions â€“
a young adult librarian and an
adult librarian â€“ in the budget
to help expand services and
programming. Those positions
will be paid for with state grants
the library typically receives
each year.
The library will also have an
increased budget for capital
improvements and supplies
this year, and the FY23 capital
budget includes funding for
a bookmobile to bring library
services to other parts of the
community. â€œWeâ€™re trying to
get back to our staffi ng levels
from pre-pandemic and also
giving some additional funds
so they can expand their programming
and services,â€ said
city Finance Director Richard
Viscay.
Viscay said there was feedback
from the library trustees
indicating that Revere is one
of the lowest funded libraries
per capita in the state. â€œWe certainly
donâ€™t want that moniker,â€
said Viscay.
Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo,
who is chair of the Ways &
Means Subcommittee, said he
would like to see either a new
library or an expansion to the
existing library down the line.
â€œIâ€™ve always viewed the library
as the center of our community,â€
said Rizzo. â€œYou look around
at some other communities,
and there are some beautiful
libraries â€“ not to take anything
away from the [Revere] library â€“
I think it has a lot of charm, but
its old, needs â€˜TLCâ€™ and needs to
be expanded.â€

BBB Scam Alert:
Spot red flags when looking for deals on dental work
D
ental work can be expensive,
insurance or not, and
scammers know it. Recently,
BBB Scam Tracker has received
multiple reports from
people who were scammed
by con artists claiming to off er
expensive dental equipment
at discounted rates.
How the scam works
You do an online search for a
retainer, dental veneers, or another
kind of dental equipment.
You fi nd an online ad that looks
legitimate and click on it to visit
the website. The website may
feature high-quality customer
videos that seem convincing.
Best of all, the price is right. Youâ€™ll
only pay a few hundred dollars
instead of the thousands your
dentist quoted you.
Once you place your order,
the charge appears on your
credit card, and the business
claims your order is on its way.
If the order does arrive at all,
consumers report that it comes
long after your credit cardâ€™s dispute
limit has expired. For example,
one victim reported:
â€œThe fi rst indication of something
not quite right was the
length of time to receive the
product, which was nearly a
full month later! Plus, they advertised
a California location,
but the tracking number for my
package indicated the origination
point was China. When the
item fi nally arrived, the veneers
were total junk. You could fi nd
teeth like these in any Halloween
costume display. Itâ€™s a total
misrepresentation from the
online ad.â€
If you try to contact the companyâ€™s
customer service, youâ€™ll
quickly fi nd it doesnâ€™t exist. The
company will be unreachable,
and you likely lost all that money
for good.
How to avoid online purchase
scams
â€¢ Research a company before
you buy. A quick internet search
of the business name and â€œcomplaintsâ€
or â€œscamâ€ could reveal
youâ€™re dealing with a less than
honest vendor. Always do thorough
research on a company
before making a purchase, especially
if itâ€™s one you havenâ€™t
heard of it before.
â€¢ Be wary of online ads. Search
engine results and social media
often feature online ads that are
eye-catching and appear professional.
While many legitimate
businesses advertise this way,
scammers do too, so donâ€™t take
every ad at face value.
â€¢ Donâ€™t fall for deals that are
too good to be true. Many a
scam victim fell for a great deal
that didnâ€™t turn out to be great
at all. Scammers love to offer
high-dollar products (like dental
equipment) at prices way lower
than the actual cost.
â€¢ Pay with your credit card.
When paying with a credit card,
you can usually dispute fraudulent
charges. Be sure you know
your dispute time limit though.
If a company hasnâ€™t delivered by
the date they promised, itâ€™s time
to fi le a dispute.

1031 EXCHANGES AND
LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANIES
Revere Firefi ghters are shown saluting during the playing
of taps.
State Senator Lydia Edwards thanked
fi refi ghters for serving.
Internal Revenue Code Section
1031 allows an investor
of real estate to sell his or her
property at a substantial gain
and replace that property with
like-kind property within a
certain period of time in order
to defer paying capital gains
taxes. The Investor must use a
qualifi ed intermediary to handle
the transaction from beginning
to end. The deferred
capital gain serves to reduce
the cost basis of the replacement
property for purposes
of a later sale and for purposes
of calculating depreciation
on the replacement property.
Form 8824 is used to report
the â€œlike-kindâ€ exchange
as part of your 1040 or entitylevel
return.
A single member LLC can

enter into a 1031 exchange
as well as a two or more member
LLC. A single member LLC
is transparent for tax purposes.
No separate tax return has
to be fi led. If you are a self-employed
individual operating
as a single member LLC, you
would simply report your income
and expenses on Schedule
C. If you own rental real estate
titled in the name of a single-member
LLC, you would
report the rent income and expenses
on Schedule E.
If, however, you operate as

a two or more member LLC,
you must fi le Form 1065, U.S.
Return of Partnership Income.
You can also choose to be
taxed as a corporation and either
choose regular C Corporation
status or S Corporation
status. In Massachusetts, a
common law state, a husband
and wife that are 50% owners
of a limited liability company
must fi le Form 1065. In community
property states, a husband
and wife are considered
to be one owner and therefore
do not have to fi le Form 1065.
Even if you owned a rental
property just in your name,
you could title the replacement
property in the name
of a single member LLC and
still take advantage of Internal
Revenue Code Section
1031. The single member LLC
is disregarded for tax purposes.
For a two or more member
LLC, the 1031 exchange must
take place at the entity level.
The LLC would sell the rental
real estate that it has title to
and would title the replacement
property in its name as
well. The LLC would fi le its own
Form 8824 to report the sale,
deferred gain, any recognized
gain if the full selling price was
not reinvested, etc.
A safe harbor holding period
of the replacement property
in order to secure the validity
of the 1031 exchange is
two years. Three years would
be even better. There often
are complexities when one
or more of the partners do
not wish to remain invested
in rental real estate and
would simply rather cash out
and pay the tax. In that event,
the partnership would look to
into formulating a tax strategy
that would accommodate the
partners wishing to remain invested
and wishing to defer
the recognition of gain and
the partners that wish to cash
out can pay the capital gains
tax on their share of the capital
gain. Taking advantage of
the 1031 exchange can save
a signifi cant amount in capital
gains taxes and it should
not be overlooked.

Save the Harbor Awards $250K for Free Beach Events
O
n Saturday, June 11 at 10:00
AM at their offi ces on Bostonâ€™s
Fish Pier Save the Harbor/
Save the Bay awarded more than
$250,000 in Better Beaches program
grants to 62 organizations
and creatives to support 100 free
beach events and programs in
nine communities on the region's
public beaches from Nahant to
Nantasket as part of their Better
Beaches Program partnership with
the Department of Conservation &
Recreation (DCR).
In 2021, the Better Beaches Program
supported more than 60
organizations in nine waterfront
communities from Nahant to
Nantasket with events including
festivals, movie nights, concerts,
and beach parties. Save the Harbor
has invested nearly $1.75 million
dollars to support free beach
events and programs since they
began their partnership with DCR
in 2007.
This yearâ€™s Better Beaches Program
grants will bring free movie
nights, DJ sets, circus performances,
bike rides, Asian, Latin-American,
and Afro-Arabian cultural
nights, physical and mental wellness
workshops, beach parties for
kids and teens, beach wheelchairs,
mobility mats, and much more to
the regionâ€™s waterfront neighborhoods
and beachfront communities
of Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop,
East Boston, South Boston,
Dorchester, Quincy, and Hull.
â€œThe metropolitan beaches are
extraordinary assets that belong
to all the people of our region,â€ said
Chris Mancini, Executive Director
of Save the Harbor/Save the Bay.
â€œWeâ€™re proud to fund free community
events led by organizations
that celebrate and represent
Representatives of more than 60 area organizations received grants to fund programs on the regionâ€™s public beaches in Lynn, Nahant,
Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull.
our communities' cultural and racial
diversity, and what we have in
common: we love our beaches."
This year, at the recommendation
of the Metropolitan Beaches
Commission, the three largest
grants were given to organizations
that promote racial justice,
access for people with disabilities
and language accessibility, which
were the subjects of three recent
MBC hearings with more than 250
participants.
Save the Harbor/Save the Bay
awarded $7,500 each to the Veronica
Robles Cultural Center, A
Trike Called Funk, and Triangle,
Inc. These organizations will host
Vamos a la Playa, a series of activities
to foster an appreciation
for Latin American cultures, Bike
to the Beach and Boogie, a series
of bike-riding events at fi ve diff erent
beaches with guest DJs, and
Beach:Ability, a day of beach activities
with sand and fl oating wheelchairs
available. Save the Harbor
also used $7,500 to fund free mobility
mats and beach wheelchairs
to ensure the beach is accessible
for everyone.
â€œThe Better Beaches Program
events are as diverse as the communities
that host them,â€ said Metropolitan
Beaches Commission
Co-Chair, Senator Brendan Crighton
of Lynn, â€œBut one thing they
all have in common is that they
bring communities together to
enjoy our regionâ€™s public beaches.
Thank you to Save the Harbor/
Save the Bay and DCR for working
together to strengthen our beachfront
communities and waterfront
neighborhoods.â€
Metropolitan Beaches Commission
Co-Chair Representative Adrian
Madaro of East Boston agreed
saying, â€œOur beaches are most active
when Save the Harbor and
their partners are hosting free family-friendly
and fun activities on
them. They are especially important
to my constituents in East Boston
and all those people who rely
on these spectacular urban natural
resources for recreation.â€
This year, Save the Harbor also
let kids and the community decide
how to invest $25,000 in Better
Beaches funds in a participatory
budgeting process that generated
more than 200 ideas. Over
600 people voted for their favorites:
Boston Harbor Beach Market,
Diversity Matters Fest, Beats on
the Beach Block Party, Teen Beach
Bash, and Wellness Fest. Each winning
idea received $5,000 in funding
for the summer.
â€œThe metropolitan beaches belong
to our communities and our
young people,â€ said Maya Smith,
Partnerships and Program Development
Director at Save the Harbor/Save
the Bay. â€œParticipatory
budgeting lifts up their voices
and lets them be a part of the

BBB Tip: Help choosing a
summer camp for your child
C
amps are once again looking
like a good option for
child care and entertainment
over the long, hot summer.
Now that many pandemic restrictions
have been lifted, there
are more camps available for
caregivers looking to have their
youngsters spend the summer
being active and engaged.
In the United States, the
American Camping Association
(ACA) accredits camps based
on accountability, credibility,
and commitment. The YMCA of
the USA (Y-USA) off ers camps
through local YMCAs across
the U.S. In Canada, check with
the Canadian Camping Association
- they encourage campers
and camp professionals to look
to their local Provincial Camping
Association and Provincial
Health Authority for the most
up-to-date information.
BBB off ers these tips to parents
searching for the right
summer camp:
â€¢ Check for accreditation. Regardless
of pandemic-related
issues, the safest way to ensure
your childâ€™s safety is to send
them to a trustworthy camp.
ACA accredited camps must
meet the 32 national summer
camp standards, and BBB Accreditation
requires the organization
meet eight BBB
Standards for Trust. Search for
camps in the ACA and find
camps near you in the BBB Directory
to check for BBB Accreditation.
â€¢
Know required safety standards.
Individual states will provide
health and safety guidelines
for summer camps, following
CDC recommendations.
These protocols may include
measures such as monitoring
health of staff and campers,
limiting visitor access to campgrounds,
adapting meal distribution
and providing sanitation
products to staff and campers.
â€¢ Use references. Ask if they
have a list of references or past
campers you can contact. You
may also want to consider asking
trusted friends or family
their recommendations for
summer camps. Reviews and
complaint histories can also be
found on the campâ€™s business
profi le at BBB.org.
â€¢ Assess medical resources.
Camps should have resources
for treating sick and injured
campers. Some children need
daily medication; ask about the
campâ€™s medical facilities and
how those resources can accommodate
your child's needs.
â€¢ Review contracts and fees.
As always, you should review
contracts before you sign them.
Find out the total cost and if a
deposit is required. See which
activities or services require additional
fees. You should also
check for details regarding refunds.
If that information is not
outlined in the contract, ask a
camp employee.

you at BBB.org.
Will Hurricane Season Be Starting Earlier?
While NWS considers moving the Atlantic storm season up 2 weeks,
BoatUS has the goods on how to prepare your boat now
SPRINGFIELD, Va., May 16, 2022
â€“ No, youâ€™re not going crazy. The
current six-month Atlantic Hurricane
Season, set in 1965, begins
June 1 and runs through
November 30. But if you have a
recreational boat on the Eastern
Seaboard or Gulf, youâ€™ve likely
noticed that the last seven annual
hurricane seasons have experienced
some type of tropical
storm system in May â€“ or earlier.
Those early forming storms are
now leading the National Weather
Service to consider officially
moving the hurricane season
up two weeks to May 15. Whatâ€™s
a boater to do?
â€œYou canâ€™t change hurricane
season, but you can set up a customized
hurricane plan for your
boat now,â€ says Scott Croft, Boat
Owners Association of The United
States (BoatUS) vice president,
Public Aff airs.
Researchers from Colorado
State University are predicting
another active Atlantic hurricane
season for 2022 with 19 named
storms and nine expected to
reach hurricane strength (winds
of 74 mph or greater). BoatUS
notes it is the wind-driven storm
surge of water that causes the
most damage to recreational
vessels as docks and infrastructure
are torn apart and lowland
boat storage areas fl ood.
BoatUS, the national advocacy,
services and safety group
for boat owners with more than
800,000 members, has free recreational
boat-, yacht club-, and
marina-preparation information
at BoatUS.com/Hurricanes. Also
off ered is an extensive library of
hurricane-preparation videos
and BoatUS Magazine articles
containing proven tips and techniques
amassed from the nearly
four decades of post-storm recreational
vessel recovery, salvage,
and wreck removal experience.
â€œHow to Find and Fix Potential
Breaking Points on Your Boatâ€
and â€œHow Not to Read a Hurricane
Mapâ€ are just a couple of
the helpful short reads available.
More extensive downloadable
guides include â€œBoatUS Magazine
Hurricane Preparationsâ€
and â€œPreparing Boats and Marinas
for Hurricanesâ€ and an easyto-download
â€œBoatUS Hurricane
Preparation Worksheetâ€ to take
with you to the boat.
To help know when to prepare,
an Active Storm Tracker helps
keep boaters up to date on the
direction and intensity of incoming
storms, and the BoatUS App
off ers text alerts.
Putting together a hurricane plan today will make preparations
easier when a storm approaches â€“ and you will already have everything
you need. (Credit: Stacey Nedrow-Wigmore/BoatUS)
BBB Tip: What you should know about payday loan ads
on social media
I
f youâ€™ve ever needed extra cash
to tide you over to your next
paycheck, you understand the
appeal of a payday loan. Now,
video ads on places like TikTok
are promoting small, short-term
loans to a new, young audience
â€“ and making them seem cheap
and easy. However, just because
it looks simple, doesnâ€™t mean it is.
Predatory payday lenders are using
the platform to make dishonest
claims promising instant cash
with no credit checks, late fees, or
interest rates.
Many times, the advertisers are
getting around the rules of the
platform. TikTok and Meta have
rules restricting ads for short
term/payday loans, but some
have found their way through.
Hereâ€™s what you should know
before taking out a payday loan
from a social media ad.
Understanding payday loans
featured on social media ads
â€¢ Apps might not call it an â€œinterest
rateâ€ but thatâ€™s what it is. Many
of the lenders that advertise on
TikTok try to skirt regulations by
creating new names for their service.
By calling their interest rates
a â€œtipâ€ or a â€œfee,â€ lenders hope you
wonâ€™t notice just how much interest
youâ€™ll actually pay. Keep in
mind that responsible lenders will
always be willing to disclose the
APR on their loans.
â€¢ Payday loans are costly. A twoweek
payday loan with a $15 fee
to borrow $100 translates to an
annual percentage rate (APR) of
almost 400 percent, according to
the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau. Thatâ€™s a huge jump
from even a high interest rate
credit card, which have rates of
about 30 percent.
â€¢ Just because itâ€™s easy, doesnâ€™t
make a payday loan a good idea.
If you are young or have no access
to other types of credit, you are an
ideal target for a payday lender.
Less-than-scrupulous lenders promote
the fact that you donâ€™t need
a credit check or any paperwork
to get a loan. However, that ease
can come at a high cost. Before
you pursue a payday loan, spend
some time shopping around for
other options.
â€¢ Not all social media ads are
truthful. Payday lenders seen on
TikTok may promise you instant
cash. But if it sounds too good to
be true, it probably is. Many companies
like these have faced scrutiny
for deceptive lending practices,
and some may simply be after
access to your bank account.
Donâ€™t believe everything you see
on social media ads without doing
further research.
â€¢ Be sure you can repay the
loan. With such high interest rates,
many people find themselves
stuck in a debt cycle. In addition,
payday loans can ruin your credit
if you fi nd yourself unable to pay
back what you owe.
Better alternatives to payday
loans
â€¢ Develop a budget with an
emergency fund. Create a budget
so you know how much money
you have coming in and how
much you need to pay your bills.
This will help you avoid needing
a loan in the fi rst place. Then,
set aside some cash each month
to build up an emergency fund.
Then, you will be covered even
if an unexpected expense or an
emergency comes up.
â€¢ Get credit counseling. If you
fi nd yourself unable to pay your
bills or if you are caught in a debt
cycle due to a high interest loan,
get credit counseling. The U.S.
Department of Justice has a list
of agencies for people looking
for debt reduction assistance. In
Canada, see this list of Canadian
nonprofi t credit counselling
agencies. Also, check out BBBâ€™s
tip on credit counseling for more
resources.
â€¢ Shop around if you need a
loan. Compare interest rates,
charges, and late fees by reading
the fi ne print before you choose
a lender. Pay close attention to
both interest rates and loan rollover
fees. Credit unions are a good
place to take out a small loan with
reasonable interest rates. Even
credit card cash advances, which
usually have interest rates in the
double digits, likely have lower
interest rates than what a payday
lender will off er you. See tips on
choosing a bank or credit union.
â€¢ Contact creditors if you canâ€™t
pay on time. If you realize you
wonâ€™t be able to make a payment
on time, donâ€™t panic. Contact the
creditor directly. Many creditors
will be willing to work with you
to come up with a payment plan
that you can aff ord.

Read the BBB Tip: Payday Loans
for more considerations on working
with payday lenders. Youâ€™ll
fi nd practical tips in the BBB Tip:
How to shop for fi nancial services
as well.
If you feel a payday lender has
committed fraud or taken advantage
of you, fi le a complaint
on BBB.org and with the Federal

years. The last time a Revere

was back in the 1990s. This year

Revere High School baseball
team has a lot to look forward
to in 2023. The Patriots fi nished
13-8 overall this year and came
in second in the Greater Boston
League (GBL) standings.
Though the campaign ended
with a disappointing 8-1 loss
at 23rd-seeded Beverly in the
preliminary round of the Div. I
tournament, the Patriots, who
were seeded 42nd in the tourney,
were in a close 2-1 game
until Beverly broke it open with
three runs in the bottom of the
school after going over two decades
without a tourney bid.
This yearâ€™s team demonstrated
balance with a team pitching
ERA of 1.90. Five Revere pitchers
had ERAs below two, led by Ollie
Svendsenâ€™s 0.93. Kyle Cummings
had the most wins while sporting
a 1.62 ERA. Domenic Boudreau
notched three wins.
On off ense, the Patriots struga

47 runs over the fi nal seven regular-season
games. Chris Cassidy,
who broke out of an earlyseason
slump, led the way with
a.353 average. Cassidy went an
impressive 17-for-31 down the
stretch. Mike Popp hit.340 and

North Shore Navigators' Gigliotti Named NECBL
Pitcher of the Week
LYNN, Mass. -- The New England
Collegiate Baseball League
(NECBL) recognized the North
Shore Navigatorsâ€™ Jake Gigliotti
(Northeastern) as the fi rst Pitcher
of the Week for the 2022 season,
it was announced on Monday
afternoon.
Gigliotti shut down the Ocean
State Waves during his fi rst debut
start of the summer last
Wednesday in South Kingstown,
R.I., tossing six scoreless, nohit
innings with 11 strikeouts,
which are tied for the most by
any pitcher in an NECBL outing
so far this summer.
The right-hander from Paxton,
Mass., issued just two walks
in the entire outing, facing the
minimum through fi ve innings
after starting the game with
three consecutive 1-2-3 frames.
Gigliotti shares the spotlight
with Vermont Mountaineers
third baseman Ben Williamson
(William & Mary), who was
named NECBL Player of the
Week.
Prior to returning to the Navs
for the fi rst time since 2019, Gigliotti
went 3-0 with a 3.79 ERA
in 35.2 innings for Northeastern
this spring. He spent the summer
of 2021 as a dominant reliever
for the league rival Upper
Valley Nighthawks, going 3-0
with a 0.80 ERA and 24 strikeouts
in 22.1 innings.
Last summer, Swampscott
native and returning Navigator
righty Luke Marshall (Fairfi eld)
was the only NECBL player or
pitcher to win multiple weekly
honors.

How to Choose a Medicare
Supplemental (Medigap) Policy
Dear Savvy Senior,
Iâ€™m planning to enroll in original Medicare in a few months and
have been told I probably need to get a Medicare supplemental
policy too. Can you off er any tips on selecting one?
Almost 65
Dear Almost,
If youâ€™re enrolling in original
Medicare, getting a supplemental
policy (also known as Medigap
insurance) too is a smart idea because
it will help pay for things that
arenâ€™t covered by Medicare like copayments,
coinsurance and the
Part A deductible. Here are some
tips to help you choose an appropriate
plan.
Medigap Plans
In all but three states (Massachusetts,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin),
Medigap plans, which are sold by
private health insurers, are available
to new enrollees in eight different
standardized plans. These
plans are labeled with the letters
A, B, D, G, K, L, M and N, with two
more, C and F, that are only available
to those eligible for Medicare
before 2020.
Plan G is the most popular policy
among new enrollees because
it covers the most comprehensive
range of benefi ts. Monthly premiums
for Plan G typically range between
$100 and $300, depending
on your age and the state
you reside in. If thatâ€™s more than
youâ€™re willing to pay, there are also
high-deductible plans that have
lower premiums but impose higher
out-of-pocket costs.
For more information on the different
types of plans and coverage
details, including Medigap options
in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin, go to Medicare.gov/
publications and type in â€œchoosing
a medigap policyâ€ in the Keyword
box, and download their 2022
guide. Or call 1-800-MEDICARE
and ask them to mail you a copy.
How to Choose
To pick a Medigap policy that
works best for you, consider your
health, family medical history
and your budget. The diff erences
among plans can be small and
rather confusing.
To help you choose, visit Medicare.gov/medigap-supplemental-insurance-plans
and type in
your ZIP code. This will give you
a list of the plans available in your
area, their price ranges and the
names, and contact information
of companies that sell them. But
to get specifi c pricing information,
youâ€™ll need to contact the carriers
directly or call your State Health Insurance
Assistance Program. See
ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2675
for contact information.
Since all Medigap policies with
the same letter must cover the
exact same benefi ts (itâ€™s required
by law), you should shop for the
cheapest policy.
Youâ€™ll get the best price if you
sign up within six months after enrolling
in Medicare Part B. During
this open-enrollment period, an
insurer cannot refuse to sell you a
policy or charge you more because
of your health.
You also need to be aware of the
pricing methods, which will aff ect
your costs. Medigap policies are
usually sold as either: â€œcommunity-ratedâ€
where everyone in an
area is charged the same premium
regardless of age; â€œissue-age-ratedâ€
that is based on your age
when you buy the policy, but will
only increase due to infl ation, not
age; and â€œattained-age-rated,â€ that
starts premiums low but increases
as you age. Community-rate
and issue-age-rated policies are
the best options because they will
save you money in the long run.
You can buy the plan directly
from an insurance company, or
you can work with a reputable insurance
broker.
Drug Coverage
You also need to know that
Medigap policies do not cover
prescription drugs, so if you donâ€™t
have drug coverage, youâ€™ll need
to buy a separate Medicare Part D
drug plan too. See Medicare.gov/
plan-compare to compare plans.
Also note that Medigap plans do
not cover vision, dental care, hearing
aids or long-term care.
Alternative Option
Instead of getting original Medicare,
plus a Medigap policy and
a separate Part D drug plan, you
could sign up for a Medicare Advantage
plan (see medicare.gov/
plan-compare) that provides all-inone
coverage. These plans, which
are sold by insurance companies,
are generally available through
HMOs and PPOs that require you
to get your care within a network
of doctors.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon
Hill Roll Call records local senatorsâ€™
and representativesâ€™ votes
on roll calls from the week of
June 6-10.
LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES BAKERâ€™S
VETO OF BILL ALLOWING
DRIVERâ€™S LICENSE FOR UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS
(H 4805)
House 119-36, Senate 32-8,
gained the two-thirds vote necessary
to override Gov. Charlie Bakerâ€™s
veto of legislation that would
allow, starting July 1, 2023, undocumented/illegal
immigrants
to apply for a Massachusetts standard
driverâ€™s license.
The legislation requires an applicant
â€œwithout legal presenceâ€
in the United States to provide
the Registry of Motor Vehicles
(RMV) with a foreign passport
and at least one of fi ve other documents:
a driverâ€™s license from
another state, a foreign driverâ€™s
license, a birth certifi cate, a foreign
national identifi cation card
or a marriage certificate or divorce
decree from any U.S. state.
â€œI cannot sign this legislation
because it requires the Registry
of Motor Vehicles to issue state
credentials to people without the
ability to verify their identity,â€ Baker
had said in his veto message.
â€œThe Registry does not have the
expertise or ability to verify the
validity of many types of documents
from other countries. The
bill also fails to include any measures
to distinguish standard
Massachusetts driverâ€™s licenses
issued to persons who demonstrate
lawful presence from those
who donâ€™t.â€
â€œBy making driverâ€™s licenses
accessible to individuals regardless
of immigration status, Massachusetts
will take a strong step
to both strengthen our economy
and strengthen relations between
immigrants and law enforcement,â€
said Elizabeth Sweet,
Executive Director of the Massachusetts
Immigrant and Refugee
Advocacy Coalition.
â€œThis is a victory for all, making
our roads safer and allowing the
185,000 immigrants without status
the ability to earn a driverâ€™s license,â€
said sponsor Sen. Brendan
Crighton (D-Lynn). â€œNo one
should fear deportation over essential
everyday tasks, such as
getting to work, school, doctorâ€™s
appointment and grocery stores.â€
â€œWe all know the many issues
our commonwealthâ€™s RMV
has had,â€ said Sen. John Velis (DWestfi
eld), an opponent of the
proposal. â€œJust this week it was
announced that 53,000 licenses
sent out were missing a key
fraud protection feature and will
need to be replaced. My vote has
nothing to do with immigration
and has everything to do with
the enormous ask we are making
on an already underfunded
and understaff ed RMV. I remain
concerned that RMV employees
will be now tasked with reviewing
hundreds of additional foreign
documents, in hundreds of
diff erent languages and formats,
without any additional funding
or training.â€
â€œThis commonsense legislation
will improve safety for all on our
roads, and ensure all drivers are licensed,
registered and insured â€¦
This bill has broad support from
numerous members of law enforcement,
local faith and business
leaders and immigrant communities
statewide,â€ said Rep.
Christine Barber (D-Somerville), a
co-sponsor of the measure.
Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton)
said, â€œI do not support this legislation
as I believe it disincentivizes
the individual from pursuing
citizenship through legal means
â€¦ This bill does not provide a
clear distinction on the driverâ€™s
licenses between an unlawfully
present individual and a U.S. citizen
nor does it permit the RMV
to share the citizenship information
with municipalities that are
entrusted to register only U.S. citizens
to vote. Without these protections,
the chances that these
individuals will be able to register
to vote increases.â€
Co-sponsor Rep. Tricia FarleyBouvier
(D-Pittsfield) said she
was disappointed that the governor
is spreading misinformation
about voting access when
he well knows the strong safeguards
that are already in place.
â€œGov. Bakerâ€™s own RMV has been
processing driverâ€™s licenses for
years for those already eligible to
drive but ineligible to vote such
as 16- and 17-year-olds, people
with green cards and student
and worker visas â€¦ Sixteen other
states have implemented similar
laws already and have seen improved
safety on roads with no issues
related to voting.â€
â€œDespite the record high overcollection
of Massachusetts tax
dollars being available to provide
some kind of relief to families
struggling with infl ation and
high prices, the speaker is prioritizing
giving illegal immigrants
driverâ€™s licenses over Gov. Bakerâ€™s
warnings that it will most likely
lead to voter fraud,â€ said Paul
Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts
Fiscal Alliance. â€œJust
because the speaker was able to
twist arms and override the governorâ€™s
veto, doesnâ€™t mean these
House members will be off the
hook. With the vote taken, they
will now have to face their constituents
and explain why they
follow their speakerâ€™s orders instead
of their constituentsâ€™ opinions.â€
(A
â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill. A â€œNoâ€
vote is against it.)

ELECTION LAW CHANGES (S
2924)
Senate 37-3, approved and
sent to the House a conference
committee version of a bill making
permanent the mail-in and
early voting options used in Massachusetts
in 2020 during the COVID-19
pandemic. The House and
Senate had approved diff erent
versions of the bill and a conference
committee hammered out
this compromise version which
did not include the section allowing
same day voter registration
that was in the Senate version
but not in the House one. The
measure requires the secretary
of state to send out mail-in ballot
applications, with return postage
guaranteed, to registered voters
before each presidential primary,
state primary and biennial state
election. It also allows registered
voters to request a mail-in ballot
for all elections in a single calendar
year.
Other provisions include reducing
the registration blackout
period from 20 days prior to
an election to 10 days; electronic
voting options for voters with
disabilities and military service
members; allowing a voter with
disabilities to request accommodations
including an accessible
electronic ballot application, ballot
and voter affi davit that can be
submitted electronically; ensuring
that non-felons who are incarcerated
who are currently eligible
to vote are provided with voting
information and materials to exercise
their right to vote; mandating
that felons who are incarcerated
but prohibited from voting
are notifi ed of their right to vote
upon release and given the opportunity
to fi ll out a voter registration
form; and requiring the
secretary of state to conduct a
comprehensive public awareness
campaign to publicize the new
voting and registration options.
â€œThis landmark election reform
bill will empower voters
and strengthen our democracy,â€
said Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover),
Senate Chair of the Committee
on Election Laws and the
co-sponsor of the bill. â€œIn 2020,
mail-in and early voting options
helped generate record-breaking
turnout. It is now time to build on
this progress and enact long-lasting
voting reforms. The [bill] is a
big step in the right direction and
will help ensure that every voter
can exercise their fundamental
right to vote.â€
â€œI am so proud that at a time
when access to the ballot is under
attack in states nationwide,
Massachusetts is passing landmark
voting reforms to permanently
enshrine expansions to
voting access in statute and further
underscore the Commonwealthâ€™s
commitment to ensuring
all eligible voters can exercise
their right to vote,â€ said Senate
Majority Leader Sen. Cindy
Creem (D-Newton). â€œAlthough I
am disappointed same-day registration
was not included in the
fi nal bill, even with the Senate offering
multiple compromise approaches,
I will continue to push
for its passage and plan to fi le
legislation on the subject going
forward.â€
Opponents saythe bill goes
too far and does not provide suffi
cient safeguards to protect the
integrity of the voting process.
They argued that universal mail
in voting was designed solely to
protect voters during the pandemic.
They argued that continuing
this forever would cost far too
much for smaller towns
Despite repeated attempts by
Beacon Hill Roll Call, none of the
three Republican senators who
voted against the bill responded
to requests for a comment on
the reason they voted â€œNo.â€ The
three non-responsive senators
are: Sens. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester),
Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) and
Patrick Oâ€™Connor (R-Weymouth).
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill. A â€œNoâ€
vote is against it).
Sen. Lydia Edwards Ye s
REQUIRE CERTIFICATION FOR
TECHNICIANS WHO STERILIZE
AND MAINTAIN HOSPITAL SURGICAL
EQUIPMENT (S 2913)
Senate 39-0, approved and
sent to the House a measure that
requires standardized certifi cation
of an estimated 1,800 Bay
State hospital technicians, by a
nationally accredited organization,
of hospital technicians who
are responsible for ensuring that
surgical instruments are safe and
sanitary to protect patients from
possible infection. The measure
ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
$350 MILLION FOR ROADS
AND BRIDGES AND MORE (H
4638) â€“ The Senate approved a
House-approved $350 million
package that includes authorizing
$200 million in one-time
funding for the maintenance and
repair of local roads and bridges
in cities and towns across the
state to be distributed under
the Chapter 90 program formula.
Only fi nal House and Senate
approval are needed prior to the
measure going to the governor.
The package, a bond bill under
which the funding would be borrowed
by the state through the
sale of bonds, also includes $150
million to pay for bus lanes, improvement
of public transit, electric
vehicles and other state transportation
projects.
â€œThe commonwealthâ€™s overall
transportation system relies on
the health of our roads, bridges,
and other critical infrastructure,â€
said Sen. Brendan Crighton (DLynn),
chair of the Senate Committee
on Transportation. â€œThe
bill â€¦ represents a $350 million
investment that will help cities
and towns make the improvements
they need so that residents
can travel safely and effi -
ciently.â€
BEACON | SEE Page 19
also requires the technicians to
complete an annual continuing
education curriculum. It was fi led
as a response to several high-profi
le incidents across the state in
which surgical tools used in operations
on patients may have been
improperly disinfected.
Supporters said that technicians
are currently allowed to
work with a high school diploma
or equivalent degree and without
additional relevant training, despite
being required to keep up
to date with the latest practices
for over 37,000 diff erent surgical
instruments.
â€œAs a world leader in the healthcare
industry, Massachusetts
must maintain the highest standards
of patient safety,â€ said sponsor
Sen. Mike Rush (D-West Roxbury).
â€œIâ€™m proud of the work my
colleagues in the Senate and I
have done today to protect the
citizens of the commonwealth
as well as those who come from
around the globe to seek treatment.â€
â€œ[These]
technicians play an
unseen but vital role for patients
undergoing surgery,â€ said Sen.
Jo Comerford (D-Northampton),
Senate chair of the Committee on
Public Health. â€œThey are responsible
for ensuring that equipment
and instruments used during surgical
procedures are properly decontaminated,
cleaned, inspected
and sterilized prior to patient
use. Every day, thousands of Bay
Staters rely on them doing their
job with perfection.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill).

MVES Commits To Justice on World Elder Abuse
Awareness Day
MALDEN â€” June 15 marks
World Elder Abuse Awareness
Day, a time to bring attention to
this critical issue aff ecting older
adults worldwide. Elder abuse
can include physical, emotional,
sexual, caregiver neglect, selfneglect,
and fi nancial exploitation.
It impacts seniors from all
walks of life.

the Prevention of Elder Abuse

Geoff Beckwith, the executive
director of the Massachusetts
Municipal Association, is
one of the biggest advocates for
increased Chapter 90 funding.
â€œWith the local road construction
season underway, passage
of the Chapter 90 bond bill is an
important priority so that communities
can maximize the number
of projects that can be completed
this year,â€ said Beckwith.
Many local offi cials across the
state continue to advocate for
additional money to increase the
funding and argue that the cost
of repairing roads has increased
by up to 40 percent while the
state has kept this funding fl at at
$200 million for the past 11 years.
EXPANDED USE OF MEDICAL
MARIJUANA (H 4537) â€“ A bill
that would add Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) and opioid
use disorder to the current
list of conditions for which a
doctor could prescribe medical
marijuana, is stuck in the Committee
on Health Care Financing
which gave it a favorable report
on March 24. The bill is a redrafted
diff erent version of an earlier
bill, sponsored by Rep. Michael
Soter (R-Bellingham), designed
to expand access to medical marijuana
for veterans.
â€œThis legislation is the result of
a collaboration with a constituent
of mine, Stephen Mandile,
who is a veteran, local elected offi
cial and father,â€ said Soter. â€œThe
initial intent of the bill was to expand
access to medical marijuana
for veterans. However, I am
disappointed to say that specific
veteran-related pieces of the
original bill were removed during
the committee process, the
scope of the bill has changed
and the current language works
to benefi t a broader population
while straying away from the initial
intent of a strong veterancentric
bill.
Beacon Hill Roll Call asked Soter
several times whether he supports
the new version of the bill
since his version is now essentially
dead. Soterâ€™s â€œnon-answerâ€
came from his chief of staff Eric
Eisner. â€œâ€œThe representative stattion
at the United Nations (UN)
launched the first World Elder
Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD)
on June 15, 2006 in an eff ort to
unite communities around the
world in raising awareness about
elder abuse. WEAAD serves as a
call-to-action for our communities
to raise awareness about
abuse, neglect, and exploitation
of elders, and reaffi rm our countryâ€™s
commitment to the principle
of justice for all.
ed that he is disappointed that
the veteran-centric language
within the bill has been stripped
out during the committee process,â€
said Eisner. Further, this is
not the fi rst session that this legislation
has been presented. â€œ
SEVERAL BILLS ON THEIR WAY
TO A â€œSTUDYâ€ COMMITTEE â€“ The
Committee on Cannabis Policy
recommended that several bills
be shipped off to a study committee
where bills are rarely actually
studied and are essentially
defeated. It is a way to kill a proposal
without holding a vote on
the bill itself. Here are some of
the bills that will soon be sent off
to a study committee:
PREVENT YOUTH SUBSTANCE
ABUSE (S78) â€“ Would direct 1 percent
of the state tax revenue generated
from the cannabis excise
tax toward a fund that would be
responsible for supporting programs
dedicated to prevention
of youth substance use.
â€œA report released this week by
the Department of Public Health
indicated the rate of opioid-related
overdose deaths increased
8.8 percent in 2021 compared to
2020,â€ said sponsor Sen. Patrick
Oâ€™Connor (R-Weymouth). â€œWith
the continued rise in substance
use deaths, I believe we need to
provide as much support as possible
to ensure we do not lose any
more of our neighbors. The state
currently financially benefits a
great deal from the legalization of
cannabis, and I believe this legislation
provides us with an opportunity
to educate young people
on the dangers of addiction. I am
looking forward to fi ling the bill
again next session.â€
PROHIBIT TESTING FOR MARIJUANA
USE WITHOUT CONSENT
(H 4026) â€“ Would prohibit doctors
and health care facilities from
testing a patient for the presence
of marijuana without fi rst obtaining
written consent from the patient.
If written consent is given,
the measure prohibits the release
of the results to anyone except
for the patient unless the patient
gives written consent.
Sponsor Rep. Russell Holmes
(D-Boston) said he fi led the bill
after hearing from a constituent
who was tested for marijuana,
without her consent, by her
Elder abuse is widespread. Every
year an estimated 1 in 10 older
Americans are victims of elder
abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
And thatâ€™s only part of the picture:
Experts believe that elder
abuse is signifi cantly under-reported,
in part because so many
of our communities lack the social
supports that would make it
easier for those who experience
abuse to report it. Research suggests
that as few as 1 in 14 cases
primary care physician during
a routine physical that included
standard urine and blood work.
Holmes noted she was under
federal probation and marijuana,
while legal in Massachusetts,
is still prohibited federally and a
positive test could have forced
her again away from her family
and back to federal prison.
â€œMy constituent changed her
primary care physician because
she could no longer trust her,â€
said Holmes. â€œThat was the only
recourse she had. The bill will be
filed again next term because
more protection is needed.â€
FINE FOR OPEN CONTAINER OF
MARIJUANA IN VEHICLE (H 149) â€“
Would apply the current alcohol
open container law to marijuana.
This would impose a $100 to
$500 civil penalty on anyone who
is driving with an open container
of marijuana or any marijuana
products in the passenger area of
a motor vehicle.
Sponsor Rep. Shawn Dooley
(R-Norfolk) said the bill doesnâ€™t
criminalize anything but it simply
imposes a civil fi neâ€”the same
as having an open container of
beer. He noted that police have
a very hard time enforcing impaired
driving under the infl uence
of marijuana use due to lack
of a Breathalyzer-type test.
â€œAs dispensaries become more
popular and accessibleâ€”there
will naturally be more of a chance
for use while driving,â€ said Dooley.
â€œAnd while I believe the vast
majority of users are responsibleâ€”this
is meant to hopefully
incentivize those few who
might partake while drivingâ€”
just like with alcohol to not do it
and wait till they are not behind
the wheel.â€

very kind and exaggerated remarks.â€
---Sen.
Crighton responding to
Sen. Rodrigues.
â€œIâ€™m finding Iâ€™m being introduced

nerve-wracking. But I suspect
the closer we get to January,
the more itâ€™s going to sound
that way.â€
---Gov. Baker who is not seeking
re-election and will leave the
governorâ€™s offi ce in January.
â€œIâ€™m not going to go away quietly,
and Iâ€™m certainly not going
to -- I am not going to retire. My
wife would never let me. That
would cause all kinds of issues.
I think Iâ€™ll end up doing a bunch
of diff erent things. Some of them

some will be related to traditional

Over the past year, Callahan
said, the department completed
a review and update of 80
percent of its policies and procedures
as part of the effort
to keep in line with the police

Training over the past year focused
on updates on state law

use of force and de-escalation
training.
The department purchased
10 solar-powered speed signs
to help assist with speeding issues
in thickly settled neighborhoods.
â€œThis is a constant
problem we have in the city,
and it seems like itâ€™s not just
here in Revere; we are all fl ooded
with the same complaints,â€
Callahan said.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky
advocated for more
of the speed signs in his neighborhood,
noting he has asked
for them for several years and
still only has one in his ward.
Other highlights of the past
year according to the chief include
the upgrading of twoway
radios to digital units with
improved coverage, and expansion
of the Police Athletic
League programs for the cityâ€™s
youths.
The department is also in the
process of releasing a new app
that includes a 411 anonymous
tip line. â€œI think that will be very
benefi cial to the city and the
Police Department,â€ said Callahan.
â€œI spoke to other cities
near us that have it, and they
said it has been very successful
for getting information about
some very serious crimes.â€
In FY23, Callahan said, the departmentâ€™s
top goal is to continue
with the implementation
of a new use of force policy
which will create separate
documentation for each use of
force incident. â€œThe objective is
to increase offi cer accountability
and transparency and provide
better and more accurate
documentation of use of force
incidents by offi cers,â€ said Callahan.
Other
goals for FY23 include
expanded crisis intervention
training for officers and the
creation of a new behavioral
health unit within the Police
Department. The long-term
goal of the unit is to increase
an equitable approach to public
safety and public health outcomes.
The department will
hire for three civilian positions
to staff the new unit â€“ a public
safety case worker, a program
coordinator and a behavioral
health clinician. â€œWe
have a lot of public health issues
with homelessness, substance
abuse and people with
mental health issues that may
not be getting addressed,â€ said
Callahan. â€œWe are hoping to get
help for people in need and
navigate them to the resources
they need.â€
City Council President Gerry
Visconti asked about the
departmentâ€™s current staffi ng
levels and if Callahan believes
there is a need for more school
resource offi cers. Callahan said
he would like to see the department
come up to a full complement
of 110 active duty offi cers
from the approximately 102 on
the roster now. However, Callahan
noted that because of
problems with getting recruits
into the police academy and a
lower interest in the position
than in the past, it has been diffi
cult to hire new offi cers. He
also agreed that there is likely
a need for at least one or two
more school resource offi cers.

FUNDING | FROM Page 1
of concern for city councillors
when Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly presented
the School Department
budget to the Ways and Means
Subcommittee last week.
Over the past two weeks, the
City Council subcommittee has
been hearing from every department
in preparation for a fi -
nal vote on Mayor Brian Arrigoâ€™s
proposed FY23 $240 million
operating budget. The school
budget is the biggest chunk
of the overall budget, with the
Revere School Department fi guring
coming in at about $108
million.
While the rising transportation
costs have been an issue
for districts across the state, Kelly
pointed to a number of positives
in the FY23 budget. â€œOne
of the things that have been
helpful to the School Department
is the Student Opportunity
Act, and for the second year
in a row, that has put us in a relatively
stable place fi nancially,
along with pandemic stimulus
funds,â€ said Kelly. â€œItâ€™s really been
a game-changer for us over the
past couple of years, and weâ€™ve
been able to use the money to
right-size our staff , because we
have been understaff ed for a
very long time.â€
The additional funds have
also allowed the School Department
to upgrade its technology,
provide appropriate supplemental
services for its students
and purchase new instructional
tools.
â€œWeâ€™re very excited for the
coming school year,â€ said Kelly.
â€œOur major additions for this
yearâ€™s budget include increases
in our staffi ng for English language
learners.â€
The School Department is
also reintroducing two new
positions that have not been
in the district for a number of
years â€“ a fi ne arts director and
a comprehensive health and
wellness director. â€œWe have
also added a number of interventionist
teachers who will be
providing tier 1 support for students
who are struggling to get
up to grade level academically,â€
said Kelly.
The biggest swing in the
budget was with transportation,
a trend that Kelly said has
been ongoing for the past several
years. Kelly said the increases
are not unique to Revere and
are due in part to lower staff levels
and a lack of competition
among transportation companies.
Kelly said the School Department
is working with the
City of Revere and its Finance
Director, Richard Viscay, to help
address issues with the transportation
budget.
City Council President Gerry
Visconti said he understands
the city is responsible to pay
for the transportation costs, but
noted that the costs are about
$2.5 million over budget. â€œMy
problem is it aff ects quite a bit
of residents and homeowners
who do not have kids in the
school system,â€ said Visconti.
Visconti asked if there is a way
more federal pandemic relief
funds could be used to help
cover some of those transportation
costs. Kelly said the School
Department is allowed to use
some of that funding to address
the transportation costs. She
also pointed to other steps the
schools have taken, including
switching to small buses rather
than vans to transport special
needs students in the district.
Kelly said that move alone
saved nearly $500,000.
Ward 4 Councillor Patrick
Keefe asked if the district would
look into an internal transportation
system, rather than contracting
out most of the service.
Kelly said the schools looked
into that fi ve or six years ago
and the costs were prohibitive.
However, she said, with rising
costs, the district would continue
to look at all options.
Keefe said the schools could
possibly use some of the pandemic
relief funds to help with
startup costs. â€œIâ€™d like to think
we could operate a small city
transportation department,â€
he said.
MISSION | FROM Page 3
up!â€ It may be why my father
was never a big sports fan. He
had gone on to other provocations.
I proved to be enough of a
challenge. On my wedding day,
when he gave me away, I was
never sure whose special day
it really was. There wasnâ€™t a trophy
or tee-shirt or award of any
kind that could trump that moment.
He knew he never actually
gave me away.
I think perhaps a fatherâ€™s love
is quiet and not always as obvious
as a Motherâ€™s might be. A
Fatherâ€™s love is more of a reverberation
that comes to you later
on in the everyday happenings
of your life. Fatherâ€™s Day is a
perfect time to not only remember
who your Father was or is,
but who you are on ordinary
days because of him.
I think that maybe the best
tribute of all I could give my Dad
is that through all the ups and
downs of my life, I never felt like
a loser. Game point!
