Parking Advisory Committee Discusses EV Charging Station Fees By Barbara Taormina he city is crafting a program for the use of its 12 EV charging stations. The Parking Advisory Committee met this week to continue its discussion on rates, revenue and possible penalties for drivers who overstay their welcome parked at the city’s charging stations. Transportation Coordination Julie DiMauro explained a range of options for fees to the committee. Members agreed the charging stations are not intended to make a profi t. However, they also agreed that users should pay for the electricT ity needed to charge their vehicles and the fee should cover the 10 percent upcharge that goes to ChargePoint, the company that provides the software and system that operates the stations and tracks users and fees owed to the city. Committee members also favored fees that allow the city to put aside some money for maintenance and repairs. DiMauro said there was one problem with damage at a station when a driver pulled out without disconnecting a car. That was a $1,400 bill not covered by insurance or any programing. City CFO Richard Viscay said the city has established a revolving fund to pay for EV station repairs and maintenance. Viscay favored adequate fees and penalties to feed the revolving fund and pay for any needed repairs or upkeep. DiMauro said the use of the charging stations has increased dramatically over the past year. The amount of power dispensed has increased 100 percent; the number of users is up 100 percent; and even the use by city workers for vehicles for CHARGING | SEE Page 17 Team Visconti, Team Morabito and Team Kingston win Annual Bocce on the Beach Tournament to benefit Rumney Marsh Burial Ground BOCCE | SEE Page 16 ROLLIN’ ALONG: Nanci Haas of Team Haas is shown in action on the beach bocce court.

Kelley’s message to voters – that their voices matter – resonated with the members of Local 7. “We need more MICHELLE KELLEY City Council candidate ron Workers Local 7, one of the most prominent and storied building trades unions in New England, announced recently that it was “wholeheartedly†backing Michelle Kelley for Revere At-Large City Council, confi dent that Kelley would “protect the working families of tomorrow.†An attorney, small business owner, lifelong Revere resident, and fi rst-time candidate I people like you that are willing to do the hard work required, such as bringing people together to have challenging conversations, that may never happen without your support,†Local 7 President Thomas Pecoraro wrote in the union’s letter to Kelley pledging its endorsement. Pecoraro added that the “3,700 members of Local 7 stand with you in this election and are ready to support you in any way they can.†Kelley said she was thrilled by the alliance with such a respected, forward-looking union. “I’m incredibly proud that the working people of Local 7 share my view that change is needed in Revere, that the sweetheart deals for developers at the expense of workers and of neighborhoods must end, and that our great city – which these people built – can do better,†Kelley said. “The tenacity that these people bring to their job sites every day is the same I’ll bring to City Hall to stand up for taxpayers, for our seniors, for a higher-quality education system, and for our quality of life,†she said. Kelley, running to bring a “neighborhood watch†approach to the Revere City Council, has been gathering support by vowing to instill honesty and accountability in city governance and letting voters know that their voices matter. An attorney and realtor, Kelley announced her bid for one of Revere’s fi ve At-Large seats in May and has been building support, listening to voters, and constructing a grassroots campaign. Running as an outsider who wants to make Revere’s government more accountable to the people, she has found her message resonating in all pockets of the city. “Since announcing my candidacy two months ago, I’m hearing the same thing from voters across the city: We need a municipal government that’s more responsive and more transparent to its taxpayers,†Kelley said. “That’s why I started running in the fi rst place, it’s why we’re continuing to gain support, and it’s what I’m going to deliver once I’m elected.†Kelley said that, once in offi ce, she will help guide Revere toward building a new high school in a fi scally responsible manner, applying a smarter approach across city government. She will insist that developers adhere to the zoning code that was written by the people of Revere, preserving the vital fabric of the city’s neighborhoods. And she will ensure that Revere’s seniors receive more respectful treatment from their government, including common courtesy from city offi cials and at public meetings. The fi rst person in her family to graduate college, Kelley attended Revere Public Schools and worked her way through both college and law school, receiving degrees from Salem State University and New England School of Law. She is admitted to practice in Massachusetts state and federal courts. Kelley lives in West Revere with her husband, David. With roots in the 19th century, Local 7 has represented union iron workers across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine for more than 120 years, and belongs to the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers. After a period of tremendous growth following World War II, Local 7 today prides itself on its training and cutting-edge technologies. ׉ Ú7cassandra://iuyLICm7kXoRN-NiSbEONKWeEdS3FTkjurEnYZq0qGcÍ%¡Í`Ì°Í×d°][F×–0?GÉÿ×d°][F×–0?GÉþÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://_ntE-BT7Z11IffaFhmxdzBLKstlwbETt9r9AZw_BgzgγŽÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://cqUY7_B0lI3Z2P4Aa8dmdag_TJSK8Azx1jXf7X1HnlUÍúÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://oCSOghNRhsl21QKtoyfTg0tcDbiTVpvs8JXwJTgTuvkÍ,øÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://OWGPt2RHyw7e_MXxwClD3mxhzsI4aX2_Fr5XiWsHdnoÎêãÍX²Í ÍÅÍñ×d°]\F×–0?GÊ!טšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://RF-76GOiOZV3UGxCjH0s3N1eSFCDY40v_YKheBG_D58ÎÿÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://Eq2QhaKfuWjspMCYkOuWLAlGxfdYYALwUgZ9IT_Wj88ÍåÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://v3Zez080fwtltmgDvQFCL0TjrQ-wZJVt_umH3F_gD5YÍ0 Í`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://JMtq7YLUtBzP8YSHs4PaCcwLEXAmdieM2cS_7-jiwIQβÍ-bÍ ÍÅÍñ×d°]\F×–0?GÊ"“× ×d°]]F×–0?GÊ*Í¡Í=Í9×HÚ"http://www.eight10barandgrille.com× × Ј× ×d°]]F×–0?GÊ)ͮ͹Í9×HÚ mailto:lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net× × Ј× ×d°]]F×–0?GÊ(ÍjÍ&ÌÓ9×H¼mailto:Info@advocatenews.net× × Ј׉EÚ >Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2023 Need a hall for your special event?

Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room features a stellar lineup with longtime bandmates: keyboardist and songwriter Brian Maes along with bassist Tim Archibald and drummer Tony DePietro. Also joining the band are a powerhouse group of vocalists in Mary Beth Maes, Terri O’Soro and Joanie Cicatelli. Maes and Archibald have worked together extensively over the years, both in Peter Wolf’s band and with Goudreau in Orion the Hunter, RTZ, Ernie & the Automatics and now Engine Room. There is nothing more to say about Barry Goudreau (former Ex-Boston guitarist rocks into Saugus for Veterans event guitarist for arena rockers Boston) regarding this band. His guitar sound was largely responsible for the sale of over 40,000,000 copies of the band’s first two records. When the fi rst note of any of these songs comes on, you know the songs; they are so distinctive to a generation. After all, who can forget the soaring riff s on songs like “Long Time,†“Don’t Look Back†and “Rock & Roll Band†– which led to their debut album being the best-selling debut record of all time. Prior to Goudreau’s departure from the band, he continued in a similar style, producing work of his own. In 1980 he went on to record his fi rst solo project, which was titled “Barry Goudreau.†The LP successfully hit the airwaves with the songs “Dreams†and “Mean Woman Blues.†In 1984, Goudreau formed the band Orion the Hunter and released a debut LP with Fran Cosmo as lead vocalist.

This time of year especially, the backyard beckons for entertaining, working, exercising, relaxing, and reconnecting. But those looking to make improvements to their family yard for even more backyarding fun this summer need to avoid some common backyard renovation mistakes. “Mulligan the TurfMutt and I recently moved into a new home and we were reminded about some of the backyard renovation pitfalls that can be easy to fall into,†said Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation, which encourages people to care for and use their outdoor spaces. “By keeping a few basic principles in mind when embarking on backyard improvements, families can set themselves up for backyard fun this summer and beyond.†Here are the top backyarding renovation mistakes to avoid, according to the TurfMutt Foundation: • Not considering your yard’s full potential. Your yard has the ability to safely and comfortably accommodate a range of functions for your family. From outdoor offi cing to al fresco dining and offering a place for kids to learn and grow as well as work out their wiggles – your backyard has unlimited potential to expand your home’s living space.

Plastic grass offers none of the life-giving benefi ts of real grass – such as oxygen production, carbon sequestration, urban heat dissipation, or air pollution reduction. Real grass off ers all these benefi ts, and it is easier on feet and paws. Also, real grass is a natural air conditioner! • Forgetting the “right plant, right place†rule. This is the “Golden Rule†of backyarding, but it’s more than just knowing which plants will thrive in sunny spots versus shaded areas. Selecting the right plants for your micro-climate and lifestyle will result in a living landscape that requires minimal upkeep on your part while off ering maximum environmental benefi ts. • Not treating your yard like part of the connected ecosystem. Your yard links with other community green spaces to provide food and shelter for pollinators, such as birds, bees, butterfl ies, bats, and other creatures. Support pollinators and wildlife by planting a healthy balance of grasses, fl owers, shrubs, and trees that thrive in your yard’s conditions and bloom at diff erent times throughout the year. • Not utilizing community green spaces. Think of community parks, dog parks, green belts, and school yards as an expansion of your own backyard square footage. Not only do these community 6/26 McDonald’s Burger Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 6/27 Dinosaur Nuggets Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/3 HOLIDAY CLOSED 7/10 Pizza Crunchers Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/17 Pizza Crunchers Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/24 and 7/31 Pizza Crunchers Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/4 HOLIDAY CLOSED 7/11 Chicken Breast Sandwich Side Salad Fruit or Juice Choice of Milk 7/18 Hamburger (Halal) Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/25 Chicken Breast Sandwich Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/19 Ball Park Frank Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk 7/26 Ball Park Frank Veggie of the Day Fruit of the Day Choice of Milk areas provide a change of scenery from your own backyard, they are particularly benefi cial for those with little to no backyard space of their own. • Failing to keep safety in mind.

This is the Foundation Trust’s second grant awarded to RCS since 2019 in support of English language education and job training opportunities aimed at providing adults and seniors with skills to improve their quality of life. GRANT | SEE Page 19 MVES teams with Diversity North Group to build inclusivity, equity M ystic Valley Elder Services (MVES), a Malden-based nonprofi t aging services agency, recently partnered with Massachusetts-based Diversity North Group consultants (www.diversitynorth.com) to launch an organization-wide diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) collaboration. The year-long MVES DEIA Project will work to lead a cultural shift throughout the organization by off ering team-based learning, coaching and skills development. The goal of this initiative is to enhance current eff orts to provide equitable access to resources, support and opportunities for professional advancement for all team members. MVES CEO Lisa Gurgone shares, “Our goal is to understand: What can we do better as an organization to support our staff ? How can we best honor the cultural diff erences among our staff and the communities we serve? What are the best practices for ensuring MVES systems and structures are equitable? I hope that continuing to build DEIA into our operating DNA will become business as usual at Mystic Valley. We are committed to learning how to do better as an organization because that’s the way we continue to enhance services to older adults and people with disabilities to live independently with dignity in a setting of their choice.†MVES – which serves Malden, Everett, Revere and seven neighboring communities – is committed to driving change in the community and views its partnership with Diversity North Group as an opportunity to engage its network in making tangible progress. “We will use this initiative as a platform for enhancing the dialogue with the individuals we serve, our Board members, and our partners about the importance of inclusivity and cultural competence as we work to meet the needs of the community,†Gurgone explains. Diversity North Group Principal Jasmine Montanez, the manager of the project, says, “We are excited to be launching this DEIA eff ort at MVES because of the wonderful work the organization provides to Massachusetts elders and those with disabilities. MVES is extraordinary in its diversity now, with over 300 staff speaking more than 5 languages, as well as embracing female leadership and older workers.†Diversity North will build on the agency’s nearly 50-year legacy of fostering equity and accessibility. “Our goal is to help MVES internalize their values as a sustainable system that enables the agency to continue making diversity, equity and inclusion part of the fabric of everything they do,†says Montanez. Research shows that, in general, social service agencies that prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion do better work. When employees believe they are heard, and when work is fair and well managed, organizations benefi t through higher employee retention rates, a friendly and productive work environment and better interaction with consumers. “At Diversity North, we believe that to make true change, DEI must be embedded into the rhythm of the business. The goal is for organizations to develop and strengthen their refl ective practices for inclusion and equity,†Montanez notes. MVES is proud to launch this critical initiative with funding awarded through the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Workforce Development Grant program issued by the Massachusetts Executive Offi ce of Health and Human Services with resources from the American Rescue Plan Act. This initiative will run through late spring 2024. About Mystic Valley Elder Services: Since 1975, MVES has worked to ensure that older adults and people with disabilities have the support they need to live independently and with dignity.

Drivers’ anger has reached a fever pitch across the state as conditions worsen, and they voiced their frustrations with Uber and Lyft at Tuesday's rally, the largest rideshare drivers’ rally to date after over two years of fi ghting for the right to form a union. Demonstrators took their frustrations directly to state lawmakers, calling for the passage of the Rideshare Driver Justice Bill. Filed as HD 1099 / SD 666, this historic legislation is the only bill before the State House that would provide Uber and Lyft drivers in Massachusetts with essential job protections and the right to organize a union – and the only one backed by a driver-led coalition. “No matter what I do, I’m overworked and underpaid. It’s countless hours behind the wheel, worrying if I can pay for rent or buy food for my family,†said Betania Gonell, an Uber driver with the Massachusetts Machinists Union. “I’m proud to see so many Massachusetts Uber and Lyft drivers saying we have had enough. Now, we need Massachusetts legislators to hear our cries and fi nally give us our voice through a union.†Reportedly, rideshare drivers have long suff ered from poverty earnings, an unfair deactivation system, and a lack of basic job protections, despite generating billions of dollars annually for tech giants. With the support of the driver-led coalition Drivers Demand Justice – representing over 4,000 frontline drivers and several major Massachusetts labor unions – drivers sought to change that on Tuesday by encouraging passage of the Rideshare Drivers Justice bill. “I am only making a quarter of what I used to earn as a driver,†said Greater Boston rideshare driver Prisell Polanco, who joined the campaign through the efforts of 32BJ SEIU. “I was deactivated from Uber because it seems they thought I was in Florida when I was here in Massachusetts, and my income from Lyft has been steadily declining, even though I am driving 8 to 10 hours a day. My wife and I have three small children. How am I supposed to help support my family? We need legislators to hear our stories and pass this bill, so we can have a union to defend us, improve our pay, and allow us to continue providing this important service to customers across Massachusetts.†The Rideshare Driver Justice Bill would make Massachusetts the nation’s leader in worker rights within the appbased transportation industry. In addition to the provisions for rideshare drivers to directly access unionization and collective bargaining rights to negotiate fair pay, benefi ts and improved working conditions, it also ensures a guaranteed minimum rate of pay and provides state-sanctioned protections, such as unemployment insurance, discrimination protection, paid sick leave, workers' compensation and paid family leave. These essential rights are currently inaccessible to rideshare drivers. Before setting off in a caravan to the State House, hundreds of Uber and Lyft drivers gathered in Dorchester, chanting support for the bill. The demonstration included hundreds of rideshare drivers holding signs stating “JUSTICE CAN’T WAIT! FREEDOM TO UNIONIZE NOW†and a prominent banner stating “PASS THE RIDESHARE DRIVER JUSTICE BILL.†As the caravan reached Beacon Hill, cosponsors, labor leaders and community representatives gathered with drivers on the State House steps to urge passage of the legislation, beginning with State Senators Jason Lewis and Liz Miranda, who jointly introduced the bill. Participants at the rally included Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union, the International Association of Machinists, the Chinese Progressive Association, the True Alliance Center, the Merrimack Valley Project and the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center. “Despite what Uber and Lyft want you to believe, these are not side gigs to pad a regular paycheck,†said Senator Lewis. “Drivers count on the stability and security of their earnings to survive, just like passengers count on the skills and dedication of their drivers to get where they’re going promptly and safely, said Senator Lewis. “We need to give drivers the freedom to unionize, as well as basic workplace protections, so that the rideshare industry in Massachusetts can remain as dependable as it has always been, simple and fl exible.†“Rideshare and delivery drivers in Massachusetts are predominantly black and brown and many of them are immigrants – populations with a long history of exploitation,†said Senator Miranda. “Without our support, drivers will continue to lack even the most basic protections to keep themselves safe and to ensure they can provide for themselves and their families. The bill sets a fl oor by providing employment standards like unemployment insurance and a minimum compensation. And by allowing drivers to form a union, it also provides them the means to raise that fl oor in the future.†“I stand with the tens of thousands of immigrant drivers who have endured a second-class existence long enough,†said Matt Parker of Union of Minority Neighborhoods. “Without union rights, these workers are subjected to wages that often plunge beneath the state’s minimum threshold, denied access to fundamental benefits like healthcare and unemployment support, and, in the worst cases, unjustly fi red, leaving them stranded, unable to provide for their families. This exploitative system can be transformed; it’s within the legislators’ power to do so.†“The Rideshare Driver Justice Bill follows in the footsteps of previous Massachusetts legislation that has previously granted other workers the right to form a union, including homecare workers,†said State Representative Tricia Farley-Bouvier. “Uber and Lyft drivers must be provided the same protections as any other worker in our state. And it’s our duty to act now before the rideshare industry attempts to buy our state with the bogus ballot question they tried to pass last year that would severely undercut protections for an already underprotected workforce.†Uber and Lyft drivers face substantial fi nancial hardships due to diminishing earnings resulting from increased commissions and enduring infl ation. AdDRIVERS | SEE Page 13 Project Bread Launches Council of People with Lived Experience Massachusetts’ leading anti-hunger nonprofi t is seeking community members to play a key role in long-term hunger solutions P eople struggling without enough to eat are often left out of the process to build solutions to end hunger.

With Council Members serving as a sounding board in our pursuit of new hunger solutions, we here at Project Bread couldn’t be more excited for the growth we will accomplish.†Individuals who speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole are needed.

It’s one reason many travelers turn to vacation packages, which bundle multiple aspects of your trip. Vacation packages are simpler to purchase and can save you money, too. To get the best deal and to avoid unpleasant surprises, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) recommends the following tips when booking a vacation package. • Count the cost. The best way to know if you’re getting a good deal on a vacation package is to check the price for booking each part of the vacation separately. If a vacation package costs more than purchasing hotels, fl ights, rental cars, etc., separately, you might want to make your bookings instead. • Be fl exible to get the best deal. Getting a better value for your vacation package is easier if you can be fl exible with your dates. This is also true if you’re fl exible with your destination. Is your heart set on Cancun, but it’s outside your budget? Why not consider a travel package that takes you to a lesser-known beach in Mexico? The same goes for airport choices. Being open to departing from any nearby airport might save you hundreds of dollars. • Know that you can extend travel dates (usually). If you’re off ered a package with pre-established dates, know that most packages allow you to extend your trip or modify the dates as you see fi t. You’ll pay more for different dates, but it can be done. However, if you can’t extend your trip for the package you’re interested in, you can always fi nd your way home. Taking advantage of the travel package and adding your travel plans to the end of your trip is still an option. • Book early or last minute. You can also get a good deal by booking your trip early or scoring a last-minute deal. If last-minute travel plans sound stressful, consider blocking off the time earlier in the year and hunting up your travel package the week before. • Read the fi ne print. Always read and reread the fi ne print when booking a vacation package to ensure you know exactly what is included and what isn’t. Airfare and your hotel might be included in the price, but what about land transfers, tips, activities, amenities and food? The last thing you want is to assume your package is all-inclusive, only to discover you’ll need to pay for more than you expected after arriving at your destination. • Check the refund and cancelation policies. Get to know how cancelations and refunds are handled if your trip is interrupted by illness, bad weather or other unforeseen events. You’ll fi nd this information in the fi ne print as well. • Think about loyalty points and travel rewards. If you travel regularly, you might want to earn points through a loyalty program you use or redeem travel rewards for your next trip. This isn’t always possible when booking vacation packages; however, it might be if you book a vacation package through the company you get rewards from. For example, if you have plenty of sky miles saved up through your favorite airline’s loyalty program, try booking a vacation package through them. • Watch out for scams. As always, you’ll need to watch for bad actors when searching for a good vacation package. Book through reputable vendors and be wary of travel companies you haven’t heard of before. Before booking a trip, research to ensure they have a good business reputation. Read plenty of reviews, keeping a close eye out for complaints and reports of scams.

Mercury remains prohibited in the mail T he United States Postal Service (USPS) is reminding customers that metallic mercury and devices containing metallic mercury are always prohibited in the mail stream. This includes antique items such as thermometers, barometers, blood pressure monitors and similar devices. However, compact fl uorescent lamps, which contain small amounts of mercury in vapor form, are mailable domestically but not internationally. Here’s what you should do: 1. Review USPS Publication 52, “Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail,†to fi nd out if your item is mailable. 2. Follow U.S. laws and USPS hazardous material (hazmat) guidelines. 3. Ship items securely with required labels and markings. Customers can take their package to a Post Offi ce location to make sure it is labeled correctly. Improper, undeclared or prohibited hazmat shipping can have serious consequences for everyone involved. Full responsibility rests with the mailer to comply with all USPS and non-USPS laws and regulations in the mailing of hazmat. Anyone who mails, or causes to be mailed, a nonmailable or improperly packaged hazmat can be subject to legal penalties (i.e., fi nes and/or imprisonment), including those specifi ed in 18 U.S.C. The transport of hazmat prior to entry as U.S. Mail and after receipt from the USPS is subject to Department of Transportation regulations. If a person knowingly mails items or materials that are dangerous or injurious to life, health or property, they might face a civil penalty of at least $250, but not more than $100,000, per violation, the costs of any cleanup associated with each violation, and damages. They might also face criminal penalties. The USPS is committed to the safety and security of its employees, its customers and its transportation networks and will remain vigilant in safeguarding the mail stream against any article that might pose a hazard to health, safety, property or the environment. Reminder: Effective July 9, USPS requires Electronic Indicators when shipping hazmat and Dangerous Goods (DG). Publication 52, “Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail,†will be revised to incorporate new requirements for mailers to use unique Service Type Codes (STCs) and extra service codes (ESCs) within the tracking barcodes and electronic data submission for package shipments containing hazmat or DG.

Here’s dreaming that this year’s weather matches both the spirit of the title and the desire for people to get out and enjoy it. Kowloon has partnered with Rockin’ 4 Vets, in putting on these shows, over the last 3 years and it has been not only a successful venture for both parties, but also for local organizations who assist Vets with issues relate to their time in the service.

To make ends meet, many drivers are forced to work over 60 hours per week. Industry-leading company Uber generated revenue of $31.8 billion revenue in 2022, an 82% increase on the previca, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term fi nancial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

In an attempt to silence Massachusetts workers, they spent $13 million on a voter initiative last year, which was ultimately invalidated by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and did not appear on the ballot. Recognizing the potential for another ballot measure in Massachusetts, drivers urged the State Legislature to act urgently to safeguard their rights before Uber and Lyft could employ similar tactics to avoid granting drivers the rights they deserve.

HIGH FIVE for ‘BIG FOUR’: Revere High Outdoor Track Quartet named National HS All-Americans at Nike Nationals Meet in Oregon By Nick Toscani T here is no question that competitive baseball is alive and well in Malden with enthusiasm and spirit on full display in the youth baseball levels, carrying right up through the ranks to the high school level. Malden High School Baseball, coached by Steve Freker, Mike DiCato, Phil Cook and Mike Nicholson, enjoyed its most successful season in nearly a dozen years this past spring, breaking an 11year postseason drought. The Golden Tornado squad went 11-8 overall this past season – basically a “worst-to-fi rst†turnaround from a 4-16 campaign in 2022 – and earned an MIAA Division 1 State Baseball Tournament berth for the fi rst time since 2012. The Golden Tornado squad then went on to drop a respectable first-round game to host Bishop Feehan all the way down in Attleboro. Still, the experience was valuable to the youngerthan-young overall squad, according to Coach Freker. “We had the youngest varsity baseball team in New England – maybe America – last year when we started four freshmen and three sophomores on a regular basis,†said Freker, who began coaching at Malden High in the fall of 1982 and is now in his 41st season of coaching high school sports. “We took our lumps last year, but we did not quit and we competed every game.†“This year, we still had the youngest team in the state of Massachusetts, but that experience year made a big difference,†the Malden coach added, pointing out that Malden started three freshmen, three sophperience and confi dence going into 2024 after pulling off stuff like that this season.†The Malden coach said this year was the fi rst season it was easy to see the results of a number of years of hard work and collaboration between Malden High Baseball, the Malden Public Schools Athletic Department, Malden Recreation, Malden Youth Baseball and Malden Babe Ruth Baseball.

Our coaches and present and former players umpire 90% of their games and through our close work with Malden Recreation and coordinator Joe Levine, we run several well-attended, free baseball camps for younger kids each year in the winter and the summer,†Coach Freker said. “We are very happy about the excitement building around baseball in the city of Malden right now and we are committed to working closely with organizations, parents and players to see that increase,†the Malden High coach added. “We can’t wait to have all these excellent young players in our baseball program when they get to Malden High School,†Athletic Director Conefrey said. “We promise their parents and families we will do everything we can to ensure they develop into the best student-athletes they can be.†**** Justin Flores named new Everett High Head Football Coach; third new coach in fi ve years since DiBiaso left after the 2017 season John DiBiaso Jr. was the one of the longest serving head coaches in Everett High School history.

Coach Amerino “Moody†Sarno was the football boss – seemingly for life, it appeared. He took over in 1955, after a sterling college career at Fordham, and coached until 1982 – 28 years – and with an impressive record of 128-116, including four state titles, all in the 1960s. All that has changed in a hurry as of late for the Everett High football program. After going with only THREE coaches in 62 YEARS (!!!)... for the past fi ve seasons, longevity has vanished from the Everett High football coaching lexicon, disappearing without a trace. Last week, for the third time in six years, a new head coach was named for Everett High football, with former UMaine assistant football coach Justin Flores being named the third new football head coach at Everett High in only fi ve seasons. Former Tide star Theluxon Pierre took the reins directly after DiBiaso for two seasons: 2018 and 2019. Between Thanksgiving and into the midst of COVID-19 in 2020, it was announced that Pierre was no longer head coach. No details were released nor speculated. In January 2021, it was announced that a former Tide star from the 1980s, Rob DiLoreto, was being named new Everett football head coach. DiLoreto resigned unexpectedly with little detail released in late May, just a few weeks ago. Now comes newcomer Justin Flores. For the fi rst time in hmmmm... EVER??... a head football coach who did NOT play for Everett High has been named football boss. The Woburn native confi rmed that he has accepted the head football position at Everett, replacing DiLoreto, who stepped down after three successful seasons. Flores grew up in Woburn and followed a family tradition of playing football for former Tanner coaching legend Rocky Nelson from 2006-2010. Flores did a postgraduate year at Tilton before heading to UMaine, where he played from 2012-2015, lettering in each of his four seasons as a wide receiver and punt returner. He spent a year as an assistant at Bentley before returning to his college alma mater for a six-year run as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. There is little doubt that those who follow and support Everett High football fervently hope that what has become a Tide coaching merry-go-round for one of the all-time high-profile programs of ANY sport in Massachusetts comes to an end. They’re hoping Justin Flores is here for the long run. **** Revere High quartet are named National High School All-Americans two ‘Top Three’ in the nation performances in Nike Nationals Hats off to the most successful outdoor track relay team in both Revere High and Greater Boston League history! Four members of the Revere High boys outdoor track program recently competed at the Nike Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Oregon. The four Patriots – senior Sami El Asri, juniors JV Cunha and Medy Bellemsieh and sophomore Isaiah DeCrosta – simply killed it. The Revere High relay whizzes finished second in the United States in the 1600 meter Sprint Medley Relay and third in the 4X400 meter relay. The foursome set a new school record for the Sprint Medley Relay (which is two legs of 200 meters, a 400 meter and an 800 meter) in a time of 3:37.18 and smashed their existing school record in the 4 x 400 with a clocking of 3:27.82. Not surprisingly, El Asri, Cunha, Bellemsieh and DeCrosta were all named National Nike All-Americans for their remarkable performances.

During that time, the U.S. percentage change increased by 5.1%. In New England, Maine topped the nation at 11.4%; New Hampshire ranked 29th best at 6.1%; Vermont at 30th best at 6%; Rhode Island at 33rd cut at 36th Massachusetts at 49th best at 5.8%; Connectibest at 5.5%; and best at -0.9%.

The growth in transfer receipts reflected an 8.7 percent increase in the costof-living adjustment for social security benefi ts. The percent change in transfer receipts ranged from 38.5 percent in Maine to –31.1 percent in Massachusetts (table 4).

This bothered him greatly, and he talked to Kowloon Manager, Bobby Wong, about the possibility of doing some more shows to do what they could to help with these type problems. The consensus was if something could be put together within a short window of time, to help; do it! The series of three shows was set up featuring renown New England based performers, starting with Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room, followed by the James Montgomery Band’s 50th Anniversary celebration with Barrence Whitfield and the with the largest increase in personal income in the first quarter. It was also the leading contributor to the decrease in personal income in Indiana and Massachusetts. Transfer receipts in all three states were impacted by one-time state refundable tax credits.†During the last two quarters of 2022 and the fi rst quarter of 2023, there were 18 states that enacted some form of a taxpayer refund. Massachusetts was among them due to the 1986 voter-approved law known as 62F, which was triggered during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of last year, 62F was responsible for a 12% increase in the share of “personal current transfer receipts from refundable tax credits,†the highest percentage in the nation during that quarter. This information may be found at https://www.bea.gov/technicalnote-personal-income-state1st-quarter-2023 “This new data is stark for Massachusetts taxpayers and should be a very clear warning to State House lawmakers.

Amendment supporters say the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health undertook two large studies focused on fi refi ghter cancer, concluding that firefighters experienced a 9 percent increase in cancer diagnoses and a 14 percent increase in cancer-related deaths, compared to the nation’s general population. “Early screening of firefighters is so particularly important in the fi ght against cancer,†said sponsor Sen. Walter Timilty (DMilton). “Quite simply, our fi refi ghters experience a higher risk of cancer as a result of the work that they so courageously perform to both protect and care for us. Truly, fi refi ghters both need and must have access to life-saving cancer screenings.†“Furthermore, the chances Contact us for all of your home improvement projects and necessities Telephone: 617-699-1782 Toll Free: 1-888-744-1756 Email: info@americanexteriorandwindow.com îŒî‘î‡î’îšî–î€ î€¶îŒî‡îŒî‘îŠî€ î’î’î‚¿î‘îŠî€ î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœ  î’î•îˆî€„ All estimates, consultations or inspections î†î’îî“îîˆî—îˆî‡ î…îœ î€°î€¤ îîŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆî‡ î–î˜î“îˆî•î™îŒî–î’î•î– î€î€²î™îˆî•  îœîˆî„î•î– îˆî›î“îˆî•îŒîˆî‘î†îˆî€‘ î€î€¥îˆî—î—îˆî• î˜î–îŒî‘îˆî–î– î€¥î˜î•îˆî„î˜ î€°îˆîî…îˆî•î–î‹îŒî“ Insured and Registered Complete Financing î™î„îŒîî„î…îîˆî€‘ î€±î’ î€°î’î‘îˆîœ î’îšî‘ of fi refi ghters being diagnosed with terminal leukemia increases with the number of fi re-related call responses,†continued Timilty. “In addition, the chance of a lung cancer diagnosis, an insidious disease, and subsequent death, increases with the amount of time a fi refi ghter combats a blaze. In short, fi refi ghting is a dangerous profession. Therefore, we must do everything we can to ensure that fi refi ghters experience the same safety, security and protections they aff ord to us.†(A “Yes†vote is for the $300,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $250,000 FOR PROTECTION OF RIGHT WHALES (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would provide $250,000 for the protection of right whales by increasing the patrols of offi cers to identify and remove abandoned fi shing gear and to enhance their ability to enforce speed restrictions through use of drone technologies to minimize potentially harmful interactions between vessels and right whales. Amendment supporters say more than 90 whales have either died or been injured since 2017 and that that there are fewer than 340 right whales remaining today. “Since its incorporation in 2005, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) group’s North American offi ce has run a dedicated program to save this imperiled species and implement protective measures to save right whales from those threats,†says the group’s website. “WDC has worked to develop and implement rules to reduce vessel strikes, successfully reducing the risk of a fatal collision by 80 percent to 90 percent in U.S. waters, and to increase federally designated critical habitat to cover nearly 40,000 square miles of the U.S. East Coast.†Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his amendment. (A “Yes†vote is for the $250,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment mandating that the state’s Department of Public Health and Department of Mental Health conduct a study on the occurrence and impact of neonatal abstinence syndrome in the Bay State. Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a treatable condition that newborns may experience as a result of prenatal exposure to opioids and other drugs the mothers might take. Babies can then go through painful and diffi cult drug withdrawal after birth. Amendment supporters say this has become a big problem in the Bay State and across the nation. “Pregnant women who use drugs, smoke or drink alcohol put their unborn babies at risk for neonatal abstinence syndrome and other problems,†says Stanford Medicine Children’s Health’s website. “Women who use drugs also may be less likely to get prenatal care. This can also increase the risks for both mother and baby.†Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his amendment. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL The Public Health Committee held a hearing on 54 bills including these four that deal with smoking laws in the Bay State. PHARMACISTS AND SMOKING CESSATION MEDICINE (S 1428) – Would authorize licensed pharmacists to dispense medications to help individuals quit smoking. The pharmacist must fi rst complete a training program which would include proper documentation, quality assurance and referral to additional services, including recommendations that the patient follows up with a medical practitioner. “Despite decades of public health campaigns and legislation, smoking remains one of the most common causes of death in the United States,†said sponsor Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “The good news is that we have powerful tools to help individuals overcome their addiction to nicotine through several safe and eff ective smoking cessation medications – though access can be a key barrier for many.

Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “With my legislation to repeal the menthol ban, it would make the sale of current menthol products legal and subject to the regulatory and taxation requirements of the state, ensuring that the product is made and distributed according to our standards. It would also benefi t small businesses that lost out on a significant portion of their income when the initial ban was hastily passed into law.†SALE OF CIGARETTES TO 21 AND OVER (S 1397) – Would allow cigarettes and other tobacco products to be sold only in AdultOnly Retail Tobacco Stores or smoking bars. The stores are defi ned as an “establishment that is not required to possess a retail food permit whose primary purpose is to sell or off er for sale but not for resale, tobacco products and tobacco paraphernalia, in which the sale of other products or off er of services is merely incidental.†No one under age 21 is allowed in these stores. Supporters said current law says people must be 21 years of age to buy tobacco but tobacco is still sold in hundreds of convenience stores and gas stations across the state. They said this is inconsistent and noted that these stores are sometimes lax and sell cigarettes and other tobacco products to people under 21. Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), the sponsor of the measure, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his proposal. REQUIRE RETAILERS THAT SELL TOBACCO TO ALSO SELL PRODUCTS TO HELP SMOKERS QUIT (S 1341) – Would require any retailer that sells tobacco products to also sell at least one type of nicotine replacement therapy drug or device that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for assisting with helping people quit tobacco use. Violators would be fi ned $100 for the fi rst off ense, $200 for a second off ense and $300 for a third or subsequent off ense. Supporters say that this might result in more people buying these drugs or devices to help them stop smoking and ultimately lead to a reduction in smoking. They argue it is important to have these drugs and devices readily available. Sen. Brendan Crighton (DLynn), the sponsor of the measure, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his proposal. The same measure fi led by Crighton last year was shipped off to a study committee where it died, as do most bills that are sent to a study committee. QUOTABLE QUOTES “There is nothing more important than helping people get back up on their feet and 4 Housing is doing great work.†---Sen. Will Brownsberger (DBelmont) upon visiting the housing nonprofi t Justice 4 Housing that works to empower formerly incarcerated people in their reentry to society. “Massachusetts residents rely on local government to deliver core services daily and information technology plays a signifi cant role in making that happen. This grant program is one of the many ways we partner with cities and towns to better serve residents, and we are proud to be able to help them improve their municipal broadband infrastructure. ---Gov. Maura Healey announcing $4 million in grants to help municipalities and school districts across the state to support the construction or completion of their municipal fi ber networks. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2023 “Even as Bay Staters are back to enjoying the fresh sea breeze and splash of waves at the beach, pollution is still plaguing too many of the places where we swim. While past infrastructure investments have resulted in cleaner water in many places, we still have work to do to stop the fl ow of pathogens at some of our beaches.†--- John Rumpler, Clean Water Director at Environment Massachusetts Research and Policy Center on the report that indicates that in 2022, 274 Massachusetts beaches were potentially unsafe for swimming on at least one testing day. “These wildfi res are continuing to rage, burning millions of acres of land and blowing smoke into Massachusetts that’s polluting our air. I’m proud that we are sending another crew of well-trained and dedicated fi refi ghters to help our friends and partners in Quebec battle these intense blazes and stop further destruction of forests.†--- Department of Conservation and Recreation Commissioner Brian Arrigo announcing that the state has sent additional state wildland fi refi ghters to Quebec, Canada, to help battle some of the more than 70 wildfi res that have continued to burn since the beginning of June 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 ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS....Welcome to 26 Juniper Drive.
