New Police Officers take oaths
outside City Hall
By Tara Vocino
I
t was a beautiful day for a
swearing-in ceremony for
four new police officers who
all happen to be Revere High
School graduates as they
took their oaths outside of
Revere City Hall on Tuesday.
Patrolmen Robert Kjersgard,
Kevin Claros Arango, Jarrod
Natola and Alejandro Ochoa
were congratulated by Mayor
Patrick Keefe, Police Chief
LaVita and their families.

radio tower for the regional
emergency call center that
will be part of the McKinley
School redevelopment
project at this week’s City
Council meeting. Mayor Patrick
Keefe, Chief of Planning
and Community Development
Tom Skwierawski and
the project team were at the
meeting at the request of
the council, to answer questions
about the tower and
its eff ects on the surrounding
McKinley neighborhood.
Keefe introduced the project
and emphasized the tower
is a critical piece of infrastructure
needed to assure
Revere and Winthrop and
Chelsea, which are part of
the regional emergency call
center, have an adequate
public safety communications
system in place. Keefe
ran through a list of alternative
sites that were considered
for the call center, including
the Beachmont Fire
Station, which has no available
parking, as well as several
locations in Winthrop.
He explained that the tower
will provide backup if the
system’s fiber communications
are disabled and it
will allow fi rst responders to
communicate when they are
inside buildings in emergency
situations.
“But the biggest questions
you want answered are can
we reduce the size, change
it, can we look at another
place for it. The answer
is yes, yes to all of that. We
are going to ask for a study.
It will cost a few dollars; 911
will be paying for that and it
may entail reducing the size
of the tower,” said Keefe.
But Keefe also said the
tower is coming. “We’re doing
this site, we’re doing it
for public safety, that is not
up for debate,” Keefe told the
council, adding, “It’s not as
big and burdensome as you
may think.”
Skwierawski said the study
could lead to a 40-foot reduction
of the tower, which
could cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars.

Chelsea’s greatest detectives
have been summoned to
Apollinaire Theatre to prevent
a murder in the making! An illfated

Area and prevent disaster.
You better solve the mystery
or it’s... CURTAINS!
The Unquiet Room — hidden
away at Apollinaire Theatre
is a locked room so eerie,

can to confound those who
dare and try. Are you brave

A
s the only open and contested
City Council ward
seat in the city of Revere, your
vote to make change is extremely
important.
IF YOU LIVE IN WARD ONE OF
REVERE — THIS IS FOR YOU!
I’m tired of the traffi c, DCR
taking away parking options,
losing my son’s favorite Ice
Cream Shoppe Twist N’ Shake
to Development, and this city
making news for violence instead
of all the great things
Revere has and could accomplish.
I
want to earn your vote, so
you should know more about
the person you are voting for.
First and foremost, I am a Dad
to the most amazing 7-yearold
son in the world named
Maximilian.
I have a bachelor’s degree
in political science from UNLV
and always knew public service
was something that was
going to be a large part of my
life. My father Alan Averback
ran for School Committee
when I was my son’s age, and
I remember that time fondly.
Professionally I own an Estate
Liquidation Company and
Auction House. I’m a licensed
Auctioneer and Real Estate
Agent (I work out of Century
21 in Revere). I resell and appraise
personal property for a
living, and I love what I do. If
you need someone to negotiate
on your behalf, there are
very few better at it than me.
The main reason I am running.
“We Need better solutions
to current problems”.
• I am not taking any campaign
donations from developers.
Less new apartments
and more of what our
city needs. If Suff olk Downs
is not going to be built into
what we were promised,
than they should be building
a state of the art, 24 hour
hospital with an emergency
room. Our seniors deserve
to have the best care. Right
now there is nothing outside
of Boston and 24 hours that
you would want to be driven
to if you were in need of
emergency care.
• The Car Insurance Rates for
Revere are ridiculous. The
people of Revere pay more
for car insurance than any
of our neighboring cities.

~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~
Wasting Their Time On Banning All Those Campaign Signs, Why?
By Sal Giarratani
L
ast week I returned home
from my annual end of the
summer vacation in Minnesota
to visit Giarratani family
members who migrated to
the Twin Cities Area and as
usual had a great vacay with
warm weather, sunny skies
and peace. I even saw a fl ying
swan this year for the fi rst
time ever.
Last Friday, I picked up two
copies of the Revere Advocate.
One was the current issue
and the other from the
week I was away. I read with
much interest the news story
concerning the current ordinance
that the City of Revere
has on the posting of political
campaign signs on private
property and all the hubbub
over whether or not this ordinance
should be repealed, altered
or enforced.
Seems most city councilors
know that any ordinance
that prevents homeowners
from putting up campaign
posters is totally unconstitutional.
The City of Revere cannot
ban the hanging of campaign
signs on private property.
The courts have ruled
it as an expression of free
speech and no governmental
entity can force any citizen
to remove political signs from
their property, no matter how
unsightly some politicians
may think and no matter the
duration these signs are posted
on private property.
At this point, why do you
have any debate? Just eliminate
this ordinance and move
on to more important issues
facing the City of Revere of
which there are so many.
By the way, this issue about
all those political signs only
seems to matter around election
times, and after that this
issue always retreats to being
no more a nuisance such
as elevator background music.
Don’t fi x what isn’t broken.
We need to be encouraging
more people to get politically
active. We need to get
more people voting in all our
elections, especially those at
the local level. The more signs
I see around town, the better
I feel about people who
care about where they live.
Actions speak louder than
words. Our Democratic Republic
was founded nearly
250 years ago with the people
as sovereign. Government
is our business. We rule here.

TOPS honors Revere woman and North Adams man
for weight loss success
International weight-loss organization announces leading “Losers” for 2024
Special to Th e Advocate
T
OPS Club, Inc. (Take Off
Pounds SensiblySM
), the
nonprofit weight-loss support
organization, is unveiling
its “royalty” for 2024. TOPS®
royalty are women and men
who have officially recorded
the largest weight loss
from their highest weight at
TOPS by the end of 2024 and
reached their goal weight, regardless
of the time taken to
achieve their goal. Revere’s
Bonnie Moore, who lost 200
pounds, and North Adams’
Ralph Lesure Jr., who dropped
40 pounds, are the 2024 Massachusetts
Queen and King. In
May 2025 they were honored
at a Massachusetts recognition
event at the Crowne Plaza
Boston in Woburn.
Bonnie’s Narrative
I came to TOPS 25 years
ago in May 2000. A couple of
months before, I had seen my
doctor, and he wasn’t pleased
with my health. I weighed over
450 pounds, and I was a smoker.
He said if I didn’t lose weight,
I wasn’t going to live much longer.
He told me about TOPS.
In the beginning, I wondered
how I was going to lose so
much weight. I became depressed
thinking about it, as I
was the biggest person at our
chapter meetings. Though I
was depressed, I wanted to live.
I went to meetings, listened,
and learned how to keep going.
Attending TOPS meetings
and being with my TOPS friends
has helped me tremendously. I
started making changes in my
life slowly, morphing from junk
food to eating healthier. I started
exercising, mainly walking. I
met resistance from myself and
from my roommate, who was
my eating buddy. Walking, because
of arthritis, was painful.
Before joining TOPS, I was a
diabetic on medication. I had
sleep apnea, bad asthma, high
blood pressure, chest pains,
high cholesterol, congestive
heart failure, exhaustion, body
pain, and no stamina. Now, my
diabetes is in remission. I don’t
have sleep apnea, high blood
pressure, or high cholesterol. I
no longer suff er from conges

tive heart failure. My overall
health is much better, as is my
outlook on life.
I discovered I needed to make
small, achievable goals, such
as losing five pounds, which
was doable. One of my sayings
is that small goals equal big
success. So many people are
in a hurry to lose weight, but I
wasn’t. I wanted to lose it and
make sure it stayed off forever.
To lose weight, I couldn’t
just eat healthy and exercise.
I also needed to face my other
issues head-on. There are reasons
I have been overweight
my entire life, mainly because
I was a compulsive overeater.
I received personal help, and
with the support of my TOPS
friends and attending meetings,
lost 100 pounds and received
my Century Club medallion
in 2006. That was one
of my fi rst major TOPS achievements.
My biggest message is
never giving up. It may take
time to reach your goals, but
you can do it. Sometimes it
takes longer, and that’s OK. Be
patient with yourself. You control
your destiny.

Nonprofit organization
produces
“life-changing
successes”
With an individual approach
to weight loss and
overall wellness, TOPS provides
consistent group support,
health education and
recognition to encourage
successful weight management.
Massachusetts has an
adult obesity rate of 27%,
and in 2024, TOPS members
in Massachusetts lost a cumulative
4,346 pounds.
“All of us affiliated with
TOPS are extremely proud
of our members’ weightloss
accomplishments,” said
TOPS President Rick Danforth.
“Through their TOPS
membership, these individuals
can commemorate their
life-changing successes, other
members, and those who
have preceded them. By continuing
their faithfulness to
lifestyle alterations, a characteristic
of TOPS’ successful
formula, TOPS members employ
the methods they’re offered
and the support of their
peers to achieve their weight
loss objectives.”
In-person or online weekly
meetings are the heart
of TOPS support. In-person
meetings start with an optional
weigh-in, with members
then sharing challenges,
successes or goals. A brief
program covering a variety
of health and wellness topics
follows and might conclude
Bonnie AFTER (Courtesy photos)
with awards and recognition
for the week. Visitors can attend
their fi rst TOPS in-person
meeting free of charge
and are encouraged to try
more than one chapter since
they’re all a little diff erent.
For online membership,
meetings are conducted via
Zoom and are off ered at least
fi ve times weekly. The meeting
starts with members disclosing
challenges, successes
or goals. Next, the online facilitator
presents a prepared
program that sometimes includes
guest speakers sharing
expert views on fi tness, nutrition
and more. Meetings conclude
with action steps related
to the presented program.
Membership is affordable,
starting at $70 per year,
plus nominal chapter fees.

WIN Waste Innovations turbine maintenance project
to begin Sept. 15
(Editor’s Note: WIN Waste Innovations
issued the following
statement regarding the company’s
plans to shut down the
steam turbine generator at its
trash-to-energy plant on Route
107 in Saugus.)
W
IN Waste Innovations will
begin a scheduled maintenance
project that will require
the steam turbine generator
at the waste-to-energy
facility in Saugus to be taken
offl ine, resulting in the venting
of steam through the industrial
silencer. The silencer,
installed in 2021, has consistently
performed as designed,
muting the steam that
would otherwise vent audibly
through the roof while the
turbine is offline. The facility’s
emission controls, which
are designed to protect public
health and ensure safe air
quality, will continue to operate
normally throughout the
outage, maintaining performance
well within stringent
state and federal permit limits.
This turbine project, scheduled
to run from September 15
to November 16, takes place
every 5-7 years to ensure the
facility continues to be a reliable
disposal site serving local
communities. The Saugus facility
converts up to 1,500 tons
of residential and commercial
waste into renewable energy
daily. That energy is transferred
to the grid and powers
the local community, including
16,000 homes, and off sets
343,000 barrels of oil annually.
The WIN Waste facility serves
as an economic engine for
Saugus and the region, providing
60 full-time jobs and contributing
approximately $28
million to the region, $8 million
of which is directly spent
in Saugus. This local spending
generates $7 million of additional
economic activity, 36
additional jobs and $4 million
of new taxes and investments
in the community.
While we fully expect the silencer
to mitigate any noise
that would occur from steam
venting, there will be a visual
plume from the facility, and we
ask that any questions about
the facility’s scheduled outage
be directed toward Mary
Urban (murban@win-waste.
com).
weeks of September. Each boiler
will be taken offl ine separately,
though there will be a period
of several days in which the facility
will be in a cold-iron outage,
with both burners offl ine.
The facility will prioritize our local
municipalities and continue
to receive municipal solid waste
from Saugus and the surrounding
communities during this
maintenance period.
The facility’s emission conUPCOMING
PLANT PROJECT: WIN Waste Innovations announced this week that it will conduct an
overhaul of its steam turbine at its Saugus plant on Route 107 over a two-month period beginning
Sept. 15. The company said “steam will be visible but not audible” as it is vented through a silencer
and ultimately the roof while the steam turbine generator is shut
down and undergoes maintenance. (Saugus Advocate fi le photo)
What is happening?
An overhaul of the steam
turbine — which takes place
every 5-7 years, in addition
to regular maintenance —
is scheduled to run from approximately
September 15 to
November 16. With the turbine
offl ine, the steam that is
produced as part of the power-generation
process is instead
vented through the silencer
and ultimately the roof.
The steam will be visible but
not audible as it leaves the silencer.
The
turbine overhaul, which
will be done by GE Steam
Power, consists of repairing,
cleaning and tuning parts.
The turbine will be taken off -
site for the work to be completed,
with a portion of the
work being done locally in
Lynn.
Why is it necessary?
WIN Waste regularly repairs
and maintains our facilities to
ensure reliable regional waste
disposal and compliance with
strict regulatory environmental
and safety permits. The
turbine is a high-performing
component of the facility’s
energy system, and this project
is designed to preserve its
effi ciency and reliability for
years to come.
What can we
expect to see?
A large visual steam plume
will be routed through the silencer
and exiting the roof
of the facility for most of the
scheduled outage. The steam
is a byproduct of the waste-toenergy
process, which is normally
utilized to power the
turbine and create renewable
energy.
In addition to the turbine
overhaul, WIN Waste will conduct
scheduled outages of the
two boilers over the last two
trols, which are designed to protect
public health and ensure
safe air quality, will continue to
operate normally throughout
the outage — maintaining performance
well within stringent
state and federal permit limits.

about the Saugus waste-toenergy
facility and how it

Researchers advancing drone technology
to study climate change impacts on whale species
Non-invasive technique provides insights into the health of whales
B
OSTON — Scientists are
using drone technology
to study how changing
ocean conditions are impacting
whales, advancing this
non-invasive research technique
in both New England
waters with North Atlantic
right whales and in Alaska
with killer whales.
Scientists with the Anderson
Cabot Center for Ocean
Life at the New England
Aquarium recently captured
drone images of killer whale
mothers with calves in Prince
William Sound in the northern
Gulf of Alaska during field
research in June, in collaboration
with the non-profit
North Gulf Oceanic Society
(NGOS). The exciting discovery
came as the Anderson
Cabot Center expands
its work in aerial photogrammetry
under the leadership
of Senior Scientist Dr. John
Durban.
Photogrammet r y uses
high-resolution aerial photos
to collect body measurements
and assess the health
of a whale by understanding
its condition and growth. Dr.
Durban is advancing the use
of this non-invasive technique
in both Alaska and
New England waters. The
New England Aquarium has
been at the forefront of right
whale research dating back
to the 1980s, making its work
and NGOS’ killer whale research
two of the longest
studies of marine mammals
in the world.
“Scientists have decades
of population data on both
North Atlantic right whales
and killer whales in the North
Pacific, and now we can use
photogrammetry to gain
new insights on whale health
to better understand the
causes of population changes,”
said Dr. Durban, who is
chair of the Anderson Cabot
Center ’s Spatial Ecology,
Mapping, and Assessment
(EcoMap) program.
For more than 20 years,
Dr. Durban and NGOS have
tracked the recovery of killer
whales, sometimes known
as orcas, following the im(L)

pacts of the Exxon Valdez oil
spill in 1989—but this recovery
was halted by the sudden
impact of a marine heat wave
from 2014 to 2016. Some killer
whale pods have been
slow to rebound, in part because
of the prolonged impact
on calving that has persisted
after the heat wave.
In 2025, the Aquarium and
NGOS sighted three new
calves and used their drones
to show that older calves
born since the heat wave are
growing well, giving hope for
renewed population growth.
“We are studying killer
whales to discover how climate
change is affecting
the entire ocean ecosystem
on which they depend. This
work is demonstrating how
the impacts of a warming
ocean can even accumulate
to impact these apex predators
at the top of marine food
chains,” Dr. Durban said.
Like killer whales, North Atlantic
right whales have experienced
increased impacts
due to climate change. They
are shifting their feeding areas
to find zooplankton prey
that prefer colder waters, exposing
this critically endangered
whale species to greater
risk of fishing gear entanglements
and vessel strikes
in areas without existing protection
measures. The right
whale population is estimated
at only about 370 individuals.
Alongside
colleagues from
Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, Dr. Durban has
been deploying drones for
right whale photogrammetry
in Cape Cod Bay over the
last decade. He is now collaborating
with the Anderson
Cabot Center’s aerial survey
team, led by Research Scientist
Orla O’Brien, to broaden
this effort by outfitting the
team’s research plane with
special cameras. The technology
will allow scientists
to collect photogrammetry
data on individual right
whales far beyond Cape Cod
Bay and in the wintertime
when boat-based field work
is challenging. O’Brien joined
Dr. Durban for this summer’s
field work in Alaska, searching
for whales to photograph
and gaining a deeper understanding
of photogrammetry
capabilities.
“One of the things I love
about photogrammetry is it’s
truly non-invasive science,”
said Dr. Durban. “We can give
whales a health check without
them ever knowing we
are there.”

he fall campaign is underway
for several Revere High
School girls’ programs, and
the Patriots are already showing
grit, leadership and strong
performances, according to
their coaches. From the volleyball
team’s comeback win on
the road, to the soccer team
building on last year’s undefeated
run, to the cross-country
team focusing on growth
and improvement, Revere athletes
are setting the tone early.

team earned a statement victory
on Friday, Sept. 5, with
a 3-2 comeback win on the
road at Beverly. Head Coach
Emilie Clemons reported that
the Patriots dropped the fi rst
two sets (20-25, 20-25) before
storming back for wins of 2523,
25-11 and 15-13 to complete
the reverse sweep. Senior
middle Samarah Meristal
delivered a standout performance
with seven kills and
four blocks. Sophomore outside
hitter Haley Peralta had six
kills and fi ve aces, while seniors
Dayana Ortega and Basma Sahibi
added fi ve kills each. Junior
Anna Doucette tallied six
aces, and senior Isabella Arroyave
chipped in with fi ve aces.

now in her second year leading
the varsity squad, guided
the Patriots to a 12-0-5 record
last season. In 2025, Rivera
says, participation is steady,
with both varsity and sub-varsity
teams competing. This
year’s captains are senior Nataly
Esquivel and sophomore
Sharon Oliva Folgar, who bring
strong commitment and leadership
to the pitch.

Rivera highlighted the
team’s aggressive attack and
strong communication as
strengths: “We have the ability
and personnel to attack
aggressively. Our effi ciency in
communication will impact
our season positively.”
Areas for growth include
consistency in roles: “Our areas
of growth consist of owning
our roles on and off the
fi eld and staying true to those
roles. This allows us to be organized
on the fi eld and on the
same page.”
The Greater Boston League
looks competitive, Rivera noted;
she pointed to solid performances
at the Medford Jamboree.
Cross
country
emphasizes growth
and leadership
Girls cross country coach Katie
Sinnott enters her 20th season
with the Patriots, coming
off a strong 7-1 league record
in 2024. Two runners earned
All-Star medals last year, and
the team tied with Somerville
and Medford for best overall
season record.
This fall, Revere has three
returning runners and several
newcomers. Senior Olivia
Rupp leads the squad as captain.
Sinnott praised her, saying,
“She has been with the
team since her freshman year
and has shown tremendous
leadership from the beginning.
She is extremely dedicated
and very talented. She is
determined and always looking
to improve. She creates a
sense of belonging for everyone
on the team, regardless of
their ability or how long they
have been with the team.”
The team’s greatest strength,
Sinnott said, is dedication to
personal improvement. “The
sport is not just about beating
another team, but rather
about improving your times
week to week,” the coach said.
“Each runner starts at a diff erent
place, and the goal is to
be better with each workout.”
Depth remains the biggest
challenge, with Sinnott emphasizing
the need for more
participants. Dual meets are
being held each Wednesday
from Sept. 10 to Oct. 22,
with the league meet set for
Oct. 29.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2025
By Bob Katzen
If you have any questions about this week’s report, e-mail us
at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com or call us at (617) 720-1562
THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll calls in the
House or Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll
Call reports on the percentage
of times local representatives
voted with their party’s
leadership so far in the
2025 session through September
5.
Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 72
votes from the 2025 House
session as the basis for this
report. This includes all roll
calls that were not quorum
calls or votes on local issues.
Quorum calls are used
to gather a majority of members
onto the House floor to
conduct business and members
simply vote “present” in
order to indicate their presence
in the chamber.
The votes of the 2025
membership of 24 Republicans
were compared with
those of GOP House Minority
Leader Brad Jones (RNorth
Reading). The votes of
the 2025 membership of 133
Democrats were compared
to those of House Speaker
Ron Mariano (D-Quincy).
THE DEMOCRATS: A total of
123 (92.4 percent) of the 133
Democrats voted with Mariano
100 percent of the time.
There were only ten Democratic
representatives who
voted differently than Mariano
on any roll calls.
The Democratic representative
who voted the highest
percentage of time against
Mariano was Rep. Colleen
Garry (D-Dracut) who voted
with Mariano only 75 percent
of the time.
Rounding out the top five
Democratic representatives
who voted with Mariano the
lowest percentage of times
are Reps. David Robertson
(D-Tewksbury) who voted
with Mariano 87.5 percent
of the time; Alan Silvia (DFall
River) who voted with
Mariano 92.6 percent of the
time; Jeffrey Turco (D-Winthrop)
who voted with Mariano
93 percent of the time;
and Francisco Paulino (DMethuen)
who voted with
Mariano 94.3 percent of the
time.
THE REPUBLICANS: None
of the 24 GOP members voted
with Jones 100 percent
of the time. The Republican
representative who voted
the lowest percentage of
times against Jones is Rep.
John Gaskey (R-Carver) who
voted with Jones only 65.4
percent of the time.
Rounding out the top five
GOP representatives who
voted with Jones the least
number of times are Reps.
Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick)
who voted with Jones 71.1
percent of the time; Marc
Lombardo (R-Billerica) who
voted with Jones 72.7 percent
of the time; Justin
Thurber (R-Somerset) who
voted with Jones 76.5 percent
of the time; and Alyson
Sullivan-Almeida (R-Abington)
who voted with Jones
82.7 percent of the time.
THE UNENROLLED: Rep.
Susannah Whipps (U-Athol)
is the only unenrolled House
member and is not affiliated
with either the Republican
or Democratic party.
We based her record on how
many times she voted with
Democratic House Speaker
Ron Mariano. She voted
with Mariano 100 percent of
the time.
REPRESENTATIVES’ SUPPORT
OF THEIR PARTY’S
LEADERSHIP IN 2025
THROUGH SEPTEMBER 5TH
The percentage next to
the representative’s name
represents the percentage
of times the representative
supported his or her party’s
leadership so far in 2025
through September 5th. The
number in parentheses represents
the number of times
the representative opposed
his or her party’s leadership.
Some representatives voted
on all 72 roll call votes.
Others missed one or more
roll calls. The percentage for
each representative is calculated
based on the number
of roll calls on which he or
she voted.
Rep. Jessica Giannino 100
percent (0) Rep. Jeff Turco
93.0 percent (5)
ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
POSSIBLE NOVEMBER 2026
BALLOT QUESTIONS ARE
CERTIFIED — Attorney General
Andrea Campbell announced
that her office has
certified 40 possible ballot
questions that could appear
on the November 2026
ballot. Campbell had until
September 3 to certify the
questions as eligible or reject
them as ineligible. Three
possible ballot questions did
not pass muster and were
not certified because they
do not meet the requirements
outlined in Article 48
of the Massachusetts Constitution.
The
next goal that the initiative’s
proponents must
meet is the gathering and
filing with the Secretary of
the State the signatures of
74,574 registered voters by
December 3. The proposal
would then be sent to the
Legislature and if not approved
by May 6, 2026, proponents
must gather another
12,429 signatures by July
1, 2026, in order for the question
to appear on the November
2026 ballot.
Proposed laws that were
certified include requiring
voters to show identification
at their polling places in order
to be allowed to vote;
overhauling or eliminating
the financial stipends that
legislative leaders award to
many lawmakers for serving
in the leadership and
as committee chairs; subject
the governor’s office
and Legislature to the state’s
public records law; allowing
prospective voters to register
and cast a ballot in a single
trip to the polls on Election
Day; enable Committee
for Public Counsel Services
staff — which includes public
defenders, social workers,
investigators and administrative
staff who support indigent
clients — to unionize;
imposing rent control
by curtailing rent increases
to the cost of living with
a 5 percent increase, with
some exemptions; reducing
the personal income tax
rate from 5 percent to 4 percent
over a three-year period;
using a portion of the
funds generated from the
existing sales tax on sporting
goods to fund conservation;
providing indigent
tenants with an attorney in
eviction and foreclosure proceedings;
and allowing single-family
homes on small
lots in areas with adequate
infrastructure.
A complete list of proposed
laws can be found at:
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/ballot-initiativessubmitted-for-the-2026-biennial-statewide
- election-proposed-laws-and2028-biennial-statewideelection-proposed-constitutional-amendments
“I
applaud the civic engagement
of our residents,
who filed a record-breaking
[number of] ballot initiative
petitions this year,” said
Campbell. “My office reviews
each petition according to
the strict criteria outlined in
Article 48 of our State Constitution.
Our personal opinions
and any constitutional
considerations outside of
Article 48 cannot weigh into
our decision-making about
certification of a petition.”
Campbell’s office said that
certification of a proposed
ballot question does not represent
the attorney general’s
support or opposition to the
policies proposed. The Massachusetts
Constitution requires
that proposed initiatives
be in the proper form
for submission to voters, not
be substantially the same as
any measure qualified to appear
on the ballot in either
of the two preceding statewide
elections, contain only
subjects that are related to
each other or mutually dependent
and not involve a
set of issues that are specifically
excluded from the ballot
initiative process by the
Massachusetts Constitution.
The office offered examples
of ineligible proposals
including any proposal that
relates to religion, religious
practices or religious institutions;
the powers, creation
or abolition of the courts; the
appointment, compensation
or tenure of judges; a specific
appropriation of funds
from the state treasury; or
infringement on certain other
constitutional rights listed
in Article 48, such as trial by
jury, freedom of the press,
freedom of speech and free
elections.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN (H
703) — The Education Com׉	 7cassandra://c9UXrEstOSZPkCkktP6PDYea7XaleLhaQos06289lnA/{` h	rb G׉E%gTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2025
Page 17
mittee held a hearing on a
bill that would require the
Department of Early Education
and Care (EEC) to administer
a publicly funded
Pre-K program, which would
be available each week a
public school is in session for
each child from 2 years and 9
months of age to 5 years of
age, who is not eligible for
or enrolled in kindergarten
operated by a public school.
The measure would also create
a Pre-K Advisory Council
within EEC to assist in administering
the Universal Pre-K
program.
“Pre-K has been shown to
have a significant effect on
students’ linguistic, academic
and social development,
but it is prohibitively expensive
for so many in the commonwealth,”
said sponsor
Rep. Danillo Sena (D-Acton).
“I filed this bill because I believe
that everyone should
have the opportunity to attend
Pre-K.”
UNIFORM AGE FOR KINDERGARTEN
(H 510) — Another
proposal before the
Education Committee would
require that children be at
least five years old by the beginning
of the school year in
order to enter kindergarten
that year. Under current law,
the minimum age for kindergarten
eligibility varies by
district, as local school committees
have the authority to
set age requirements.
Supporters said this variation
has led to inconsistencies
across the state regarding
when children may begin
their formal education.
“Back in 2012, a few teachers
approached me with the
idea for this legislation,” said
sponsor Rep. Brian Ashe (DLongmeadow).
“They emphasized
the educational
value of starting children’s
learning as early as possible.
I filed the bill based on
its merits and the well-established
fact that children who
attend kindergarten build a
stronger foundation for future
learning.”
$10.9 MILLION FOR DAMS,
LEVEES AND COSTAL INFRASTRUCTURE
— Gov. Maura
Healey announced the
awarding of nearly $11 million
in funding for dams, levees
and coastal infrastructure.
Supporters
said the funds
will be used to repair or remove
aging dams, seawalls,
levees and other critical infrastructure
across the state.
They noted it will support 23
municipalities and nonprofit
organizations in making
long-overdue repairs and
taking down outdated structures
that put homes, roads
and neighborhoods at risk.
“Strong infrastructure
keeps our communities running
— from protecting
homes during storms to
keeping roads open and water
secure,” said Gov. Maura
Healey. “By investing in these
projects now, we’re helping
communities prevent future
problems, save money over
time and keep people and
neighborhoods safe.”
“As a former mayor of a
coastal city, I know how hard
it is to find the funding to
take on major infrastructure
repairs, even when the need
is obvious,” said Lt. Gov. Kim
Driscoll. “These grants help
cities and towns take on big
repairs they couldn’t tackle
alone.”
PROHIBIT “JUNK FEES” —
Attorney General Andrea
Campbell announced that
new regulations promulgated
by her office earlier this
year, which make junk fees
and deceptive pricing illegal,
took effect on September 2.
Campbell’s office explained
that junk fees are
hidden, surprise or unnecessary
costs that increase the
total price of a product beyond
the advertised price.
Businesses often do not disclose
such fees upfront or
only share them at the end
of a transaction after consumers
have already provided
their personal billing
information. Similarly, some
businesses have engaged in
practices related to trial offers,
subscriptions and automatic
and recurring charges
to conceal the total cost and
nature of a product or service,
while making it difficult
for consumers to cancel
or opt-out of such features.
“Today, as we build upon
the commonwealth’s nationleading
legacy of consumer
protection, we make clear
that ‘junk fees’ and deceptive
pricing are not lawful,”
said Campbell. “From concert
tickets and hotel bookings,
to subscription services
and apartment rentals
— surprise and unnecessary
charges have quietly
cost consumers around the
country tens of billions of
dollars each year. Amidst rising
costs, these historic regulations
not only provide individuals
with upfront transparency
about the true cost
of a good or service, but level
the playing field for businesses
by promoting trust
and fair competition. I urge
consumers and businesses
to view my office’s resources
to ensure compliance with
the new rules, which my office
stands ready to enforce
starting today.”
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“Three-in-four Massachusetts
voters want to lower
the income tax rate from
five to four percent, with
substantial public support
across party lines and income
brackets. The proposed
tax cut could save the
average Massachusetts taxpayer
$1,300 annually compared
to the status quo. As
the cost of living continues
to rise, residents are eager
for forward-looking solutions
that offer meaningful
relief.”
--- Jim Stergios, executive
director of the Pioneer Institute,
on his support for the
possible 2026 ballot question
asking voters if they favor
a reduction from 5 percent
to 4 percent in the income
tax rate.
“As we begin another
school year, every parent
in Massachusetts should be
able to send their children
to class with the knowledge
and security that they will
be protected from preventable
diseases. No one should
have to worry that low vaccination
rates at their child’s
school could trigger an outbreak.”
---
Katie Blair, Director of
MA Families for Vaccines, citing
a poll she says shows that
70 percent of Massachusetts
voters support legislation
eliminating religious exemption
for vaccines for schoolaged
children.
“Haitian Temporary Protected
Status (TPS) recipients
in Massachusetts are
hardworking members of
our state economy, often filling
critical roles in the health
care and elder care industries.
The Trump Administration’s
unlawful attacks on
Haiti’s TPS designation have
no logical basis and are yet
another example of his mistreatment
of the immigrant
communities that make our
commonwealth and our
country stronger. I will continue
to fight back against illegal
policies that harm our
state economy and threaten
the wellbeing of the roughly
15,000 Haitian TPS holders in
Massachusetts and the families,
patients and employers
who rely on them.
---Attorney General Andrea
Campbell supporting a
challenge to the Trump Administration’s
attempt to terminate
Haiti’s TPS designation
and strip legal immigration
status from hundreds
of thousands of Haitians living
and working in the United
States.
“Whether we own or rent,
everyone in Massachusetts
should be able to afford
a place to call home. But
right now, there is no limit
to how much rents can increase
each year. Corporate
real estate investors are taking
advantage of this gap in
our laws to buy up homes
and double rents overnight,
threatening the basic fabric
of our neighborhoods. Massachusetts
needs basic protections
against excessive
rent hikes to keep people in
their homes, support working
families and stabilize our
communities. By coming together
to win modern rent
stabilization, we can keep
Massachusetts home for all
of us.”
---Noemi “Mimi” Ramos,
Executive Director of New
England Community Project
supporting a possible 2026
ballot question asking voters
if they approve of a proposal
imposing rent control
by curtailing rent increases
to the cost of living with a 5
percent increase, with some
exemptions.
“Rent control is a flawed,
harmful policy that stunts
housing creation and increases
overall housing
costs: A horrifying thought
given the hundreds of thousands
of units our state must
build to overcome the housing
crisis. Our state’s focus
needs to be on reducing
barriers to housing creation
so we can develop
more homes across all price
points, whether it be for
young families looking to
purchase their first home, or
retirees looking to downsize
in the community they have
known for decades … We
will fight the proposed initiative
every step of the way.”
---Greg Vasil, CEO of the
Greater Boston Real Estate
Board opposing a possible
2026 ballot question imposing
rent control.
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
filed. 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 Sept.
1-5, the House met for a total
of 26 minutes and the Senate
met for a total of 43 minutes.
Mon. Sept. 1 No House session
No
Senate session
Tues. Sept. 2 House 11:00
a.m. to 11:14 a.m.
Senate 11:15 a.m. to 11:36
a.m.
Wed. Sept. 3 No House session
No
Senate session
Thurs. Sept. 4 House 11:02
a.m. to 11:14 a.m.
Senate 11:05 a.m. to 11:27
a.m.
Fri. Sept. 5 No House session

Answers
Dear Savvy Senior,
Do I have to pay taxes on my
Social Security retirement benefits?
I heard that President
Trump’s big, beautiful bill eliminated
that. What can you tell
me?
About to Retire
Dear About,
No, the new law, better
known as the ‘One Big Beautiful
Bill Act’ did not eliminate Social
Security taxes. It did, however,
provide a temporary “senior
bonus” deduction (starting
in 2025 through 2028) of up
to $6,000 that will apply to taxpayers,
age 65 and older, who
earn up to $75,000 for singles
or $150,000 for joint fi lers. If
you earn over that amount, the
deduction starts phasing out.
Also note that the senior bonus
is a deduction, not a refundable
credit, so it will not
help lower-earning seniors
who owe no income taxes.
Who Owes SSA Taxes?
Whether or not you’ll be required
to pay federal income
tax on your Social Security benefi
ts will depend on your income
and fi ling status. About
40 percent of Social Security
recipients have total incomes
high enough to trigger federal
income tax on their benefi ts.
To fi gure out if your benefi ts
will be taxable, you’ll need to
add up all of your “provisional
income,” which includes wages,
taxable and non-taxable interest,
dividends, pensions and
taxable retirement-plan distributions,
self-employment,
and other taxable income, plus
half your annual Social Security
benefi ts, minus certain deductions
used in fi guring your
adjusted gross income.
To help you with the calculations,
get a copy of IRS Publication
915 “Social Security and
Equivalent Railroad Retirement
Benefi ts,” which provides detailed
instructions and worksheets.
You can download it
at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.
pdf or call the IRS at 800-8293676
and ask them to mail you
a free copy.
After you do the calculations,
the IRS says that if you’re single
and your total income from all
of the listed sources is:
• Less than $25,000, your Social
Security will not be subject
to federal income tax.
• Between $25,000 and
$34,000, up to 50 percent of
your Social Security benefi ts
will be taxed at your regular
income-tax rate.
• More than $34,000, up to 85
percent of your benefi ts will
be taxed.
If you’re married and fi ling
jointly and the total from all
sources is:
• Less than $32,000, your Social
Security won’t be taxed.
• Between $32,000 and
$44,000, up to 50 percent of
your Social Security benefi ts
will be taxed.
• More than $44,000, up to 85
percent of your benefi ts will
be taxed.
If you’re married and fi le a
separate return, you probably
will pay taxes on your benefi ts.
You can also fi nd out if any
of your benefits are taxable
through the IRS online tax tool
that asks a series of questions
that will help you determine
your status. To access this tool,
go to IRS.gov/Help/ITA — click
on “Social Security or railroad
retirement tier I benefi ts — Are
mine taxable?”
To limit potential taxes on
your benefi ts, you’ll need to be
cautious when taking distributions
from retirement accounts
or other sources. In addition to
triggering ordinary income tax,
a distribution that raises your
gross income can bump up
the proportion of your Social
Security benefi ts that are subject
to taxes.
How to File
If you fi nd that part of your
Social Security benefi ts will be
taxable, you’ll need to fi le using
Form 1040 or Form 1040SR.
You also need to know that
if you do owe taxes, you’ll need
to make quarterly estimated
tax payments to the IRS, or
you can choose to have it automatically
withheld from your
benefi ts.
To have it withheld, you’ll
need to complete IRS Form
W-4V, Voluntary Withholding
Request (IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/
fw4v.pdf), and fi le it with your
local Social Security offi ce.
State Taxation
In addition to the federal
government, nine states —
Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota,
Montana, New Mexico,
Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont
and West Virginia — tax Social
Security benefi ts to some extent
too. If you live in one of
these states, check with your
state tax agency for details.

College, where she also
shared her knowledge as an
instructor.
Annette’s legacy lives on
I
t is with heartfelt sadness
that we announce the
peaceful passing of Annette
Bonasoro on September 5,
surrounded by her loving
family. Annette’s unwavering
spirit and strength touched
the lives of everyone she
knew. Born on September 3,
1942, to the late Josephine
and John Bonasoro, Annette
grew up in East Boston until
the age of 14, when her family
relocated to Malden, MA.
She graduated with honors

her leadership and
zest for life.

and 25 years in Middleton.
Most recently, she resided at
the Jack Satter House in Revere,
where she actively participated
in numerous activities,
including writing for the
Gazette newspaper, sharing
her voice and spirit with her
community.
A dedicated scholar, Annette
graduated from Leslie

career in Human Resources,
working for notathrough
her beloved daughter,

t is with deep love and profound
sadness that we announce

on September 8th, surrounded

woman we have ever
known faced her illness with
remarkable courage, grace,
and unwavering faith. Despite
years of battling a terminal

her family, especially her beloved
granddaughters, who
brought her immeasurable
happiness. She poured every
ounce of her heart into being
a mother and grandmother,
creating memories that will
live on in the hearts of those
who loved her most. She is

RADIO TOWER |
FROM Page 1
Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio
said there were still signifi
cant concerns among early
education teachers, who will
share the McKinley building
with the emergency call center,
about health threats from
the tower. Fire Captain Kevin
O’Hara explained the diff erence
between 5G antennas,
which emit radiation, and microwave
towers like the one
planned for the call center.
“Radiation damages DNA and
causes cancer. We looked into
it,” said O’Hara, adding that microwaves
do not pose a health
threat to people.
“We need this; it’s for our
communication. The union,
the fi re department, we’ve all
been working on this. We need
it,” said O’Hara.
Argenzio and several other
councillors continued to
express their frustration that
they were not told about
the tower until a few weeks
ago. Keefe tried to respond
to those concerns by reminding
them that renderings of
McKinley were shown during
the state of the city address
and the tower was included
in those drawings. He also
said all emergency call centers
have tall radio towers to
function properly. “We have
to do what’s right for public
safety and for the safety of fi re
and police, and everyone who
comes to Revere,” said Keefe.
“The study is going to revisit
the height of the tower, nothing
else?” asked Councillor-atLarge
Michelle Kelley.
And that’s the best-case scenario,
a 100-foot radio tower.

crease in property values in
the McKinley neighborhood.
Kelley mentioned a 2019 study
that found property values
were aff ected for properties
within 1,000 feet of a tower.
“This will result in a property
value decrease,” said Kelley. “I
have a big problem with that.”
But Keefe said property values
wouldn’t be aff ected. Instead,
he said, a state-of-theart
emergency public safety
system would enhance property
values.
Councillor-at-Large Anthony
Zambuto, who previously
vowed to kill the project
when he fi rst learned about
the tower, expressed a change
of heart. “The last thing I’ll ever
do is hinder the RECC center. I
appreciate the eff ort the team
is putting in looking at reducing
the size,” said Zambuto. He
promised to listen to experts
and do what’s needed to make
sure the city has a state-ofthe-art
emergency call center.
Keefe said the center will
have the capacity to add another
community to the regional
call center. He added
that there has already been
an inquiry from a neighboring
municipality.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselski
said property values
will, no doubt, decrease. He
also asked about the city leasing
space on the tower to other
companies. Keefe said that’s
not the goal nor the intention.
“Residents need to realize
this is essential. I’m for this at
a lower scale if you can do it,”
said Ward 5 Councillor Angela
Guarino-Sawaya, who added
that her opinion had changed
after hearing from police and
fi re department leaders.
“I would hate to be here in
the future and we say if we had
50 more feet those guys would
still be with us,” said City Council
President Marc Silvestri.
Reservoir Road resident
Stephanie Desisto said, “I
haven’t heard one mention of
quality of life. Lowering this
by 40 feet is not a meaningful
change….It is a fact and reality
that property values will go
down. People will have a diffi -
cult time selling their property.”
Desisto said money needed
to fi nd an alternative location
would be well spent to
maintain quality of life.
The city’s application for
variances for height and side
yard construction is now before
the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Keefe has said the city
went to the ZBA to give the
community time to understand
the project and ask
questions. The city is exempt
from the requirement of ZBA
approval. The board will continue
its hearing on the tower
at its meeting later this month.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2025
Football Pats fall to Quincy in season road opener, Beverly up next
By Dom Nicastro
T
he Revere High School Patriots
football team opened
its 2025 season with a 41-0
loss at Quincy on Friday night,
Sept. 5. The Patriots trailed just
14-0 at halftime but could not
finish drives early and wore
down in the second half.
Coach Lou Cicatelli said he
thought his team had the better
play early on despite the
score. “We actually outplayed
them in the fi rst half. That’s no
lie,” Cicatelli said. “We had the
ball inside the red zone twice.
We drove the opening kickoff
right down the fi eld. Went inside
the 18… and still couldn’t
do anything with it.”
Quincy scored first on a
touchdown pass from Brayden
O’Connell to Johjoe Ham, then
added a Jonas Ala rushing
score before halftime. In the
second half, the Presidents
piled on with touchdowns
from Ala, O’Connell, Leo Steinberg,
Jaylen Parks and Jack
Chella.
“They scored two touchdowns
on us in the fourth
quarter,” Cicatelli said, citing
the fact that most of the starters
were resting at that point. “I
don’t want to say we gave up
in the second half, but we were
very fl at. Only being down by
14 points, we were very, very
fl at. So we gotta fi x that.”
Several Patriots earned
praise from their coach for
their eff ort, including a great
defensive effort from Bryan
Maia. “He’s a defensive tackle,
and I gotta give a shout out to
him because he played both
ways, and he was like the only
kid that didn’t come out of the
game or even asked to come
out of the game,” Cicatelli said.
“He did a great job. He dominated
both ends of the ball.”
Cicatelli also pointed to linebacker
Reda Atoui. “He was in
the backfi eld quite often,” he
said. “Reda was blitzing up the
middle.”
Newcomer Ismael RomeroGonzalez
caught the coach’s
eye. “We like him a lot. He’s
running the ball really well,”
Cicatelli said.
Sophomore defensive end
Cesar Herrera had what the
coach called “a big night.” Herrera
created pressure off the
edge and helped slow Quincy’s
attack in the fi rst half.
Sophomore quarterback
Jose Fuentes, starting his fi rst
varsity game under center
after playing running back
last season, drew strong reviews.
“Jose Fuentes … this
kid … he’s going to be really
good,” Cicatelli said. “It’s his
fi rst year playing quarterback.
He worked harder all summer,
came to everything that we
had to off er. He’s the fi rst kid
at practice every day. He’s the
last kid to leave practice every
day. He’s very smart, and he
probably had over 100 yards
rushing.
“We dropped a lot of balls
that were on the money. We
dropped a touchdown pass
in the end zone. We dropped
some other big first downs
that were right on the money.
So we’ve got to do a better
job. Because he did. He came
to play.”
Revere now has a bye before
hosting Beverly on Friday,
Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. The Panthers
also lost their opener, 14-7, to
Gloucester. “I think we match
up really well with Beverly,”
Cicatelli said. “They’re big… I
think it’s going to be a very,
very competitive game. We’ll
get back to work. I’m glad we
get a week off to get healthy.”
The bye, the coach noted,
was by design. “I took it because
I want to rest up; hopefully,
beat Beverly at home,
was my idea, and then get …
to the GBL. And actually, after
what happened the other
night, I’m glad I did it that
way.”
By the Numbers:
Revere vs. Quincy
Key fi gures from the Patriots’
season opener on Sept. 6:
• Halftime score: Quincy 14,
Revere 0.
• Final score: Quincy 41, Revere
0.
• Defensive standouts: Bryan
Maia, Reda Atoui, Ismael
Romero Gonzalez, Cesar
Herrera.
• Key defensive play: Atoui

Fuentes rushed for 100+
yards by coach’s estimate.

zone.
