City health officials
map out plan to
combat opioid crisis
By Barbara Taormina
P
ublic Health Director Lauren
Buck, Carrie-Ann Salemme
and Nicole Palermo from
the cityâ€™s Substance Use Disorder
and Homeless Initiative SUDHI
offi ce were at the Board of
Health meeting last week for
the fi rst of several planned presentations
of the funding from
the huge statewide opioid settlement
thatâ€™s coming to Revere
and the way the city intends to
use the money.

Revere resident Herby
Jean-Baptiste honored during
â€œBlack Excellence on the Hillâ€
Buck began with what she
called a brief overview of what
the opioid crisis looks like in Revere.
In 2020 there were 21 overdose
deaths, in 2021, 25 deaths
and in 2022, 30 Revere residents
died from overdoses. The statistics
from last year aren't available
yet but Buck said police
data showed 123 overdoses, 17
of which were fatal.
Massachusetts brought a series
of lawsuits against opioid
manufacturers and distributors
for deceptive business practices
and advertising that failed to
inform the public of the risks of
opioid use. Companies, such as
Johnson, CVS, Walmart and Walgreenâ€™s
were held accountable
for fueling the opioid epidemic.
The lawsuits ended in settlements
expected to bring about
$1 billion to Massachusetts over
the next 18 years.
The state will retain 60 percent
of the settlement funds for
its Opioid Recovery and Remediation
Fund. The remaining 40
percent of the settlement funds
will be divided among the state's

n Friday, March 29, Revere
resident Herby Jean-Baptiste
was honored by the Massachusetts
Black and Latino Legislative
Caucus (MBLLC) during their
annual â€œBlack Excellence on the
Hillâ€ event, which took place in
the State Houseâ€™s Great Hall. Each
February, as a part of celebrations
to mark Black History Month, the
MBLLC organizes this event to
celebrate and honor Black leaders
from across the Commonwealth.
Among the leaders recognized
in this yearâ€™s event was
Revereâ€™s own Herby Jean-Baptiste,
who was nominated to be
recognized as the 16th Suff olk
Districtâ€™s honoree by State Representative
Jessica A. Giannino.
â€œSince Herby has lived in Revere,
he has been heavily involved
in community-based organizations
that serve to better
the city. He is a strong union
leader in the community who
displays values of humble leadership,â€
said Representative Giannino.
â€œCongratulations, Herby,
and thank you for all you do for
Revere.â€
â€œHerby is a great leader in our
city: heâ€™s a small business owner,
community organizer, and
champion for positive change.
We are so grateful he is being
recognized for his achievements,â€
said Mayor Patrick Keefe.

Shuttle Buses Replace Blue Line from Maverick to Wonderland
on April 17-19
as part of the Track Improvement
Program, which will improve
reliability and provide a
safer ride. Work crews will also
maximize this service change
by upgrading the overhead catenary
wire system between Orient
Heights and Wood Island
stations.
A s previously announced,
Blue Line service will be suspended
between Bowdoin and
Orient Heights stations beginning
at approximately 8 PM
through the end of service each
day from April 9-11. Free and accessible
shuttle buses will make
stops between Government
Center and Orient Heights.
Riders should note that shuttle
buses will not stop at Bowdoin
station. Riders can instead
utilize shuttle buses at Government
Center, which is about a
quarter mile away (or about a
four-minute walk). State and
Aquarium stations will only be
serviced by inbound shuttles
to Government Center. Accessible
vans will also be available
to riders.
As previously announced,
Blue Line service will be suspended
between Maverick and
Wonderland for three days from
April 17-19 and between Airport

accessible shuttle buses will
make stops at all stations. Accessible
vans will also be available
to riders.
Information is available at
mbta.com/alerts. Riders can
also learn more at mbta.com/
TrackProgram.
The important work accomplished
during this Blue Line
service suspension means riders
will experience a more reliable
trip with fewer unplanned
service disruptions related to
older tracks, older infrastructure,
signal issues, or power
problems. Riders will also be
provided with a safer ride as a
result of this state of good repair
work.
The MBTA understands how
these service changes affect
ridersâ€™ daily travels during this
period, but we are committed
to improving your travels long
term with more reliable, timely,

Public Hearing discusses annual plan for $650K CDBG funding
By Barbara Taormina
T
he Cityâ€™s Department of
Planning and Community
Development has been
putting together another annual
plan to fund programs
and services to benefit the
city's low-and moderate-income
residents with roughly
$650,000 from the U.S. Dept.
Of Housing and Urban Development.
Danielle
Osterman, program
manager for the department,
led a brief public hearing this
week that focused on the city's
priorities for the federal funding
which continue to align
with Revere's fi ve-year Community
Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program plan.
Economic Development is
a priority and planners have
earmarked $200,000 for small
business loans and assistance.
Last year, $165,000 was used to
launch four local businesses.
Physical development and
improvements in neighborhoods
that includes park
makeovers, complete street
projects and infrastructure
will see $800,000 in funding.
Osterman stressed that funding
was only available for projects
in neighborhoods where
51 percent of the residents are
low-to-moderate income.
BBB Scam Alert:
Home improvement scammers
take money, donâ€™t complete work
U
se caution when hiring a
home improvement contractor,
especially following
a major storm, flood or other
weather event when many
homeowners are trying to repair
their homes. However, contractor
scams can happen anytime,
so be wary of high-pressure
sales tactics, upfront fees
and fly-by-night businesses.
Con artists will take homeownersâ€™
money and deliver (or not
deliver) less than quality work.
How the scam works: Home
improvement scams can start
with a knock on the door, a fl yer
or an ad. The contractor might
off er a low price or a short time
frame. One common hook is
when the scammer claims to be
working in your neighborhood
on another project and has leftover
supplies. Once started, a
rogue contractor may â€œfi ndâ€ issues
that signifi cantly raise the
price. If you object, they threaten
to walk away and leave a
half-finished project. Or they
might accept your upfront deposit
and never return to do the
job. Following a natural disaster,
scammers persuade homeowners
to sign over their insurance
payments.
Tips to spot this scam:
â€¢ Watch out for â€œred fl ags.â€ Say
no to cash-only deals, high-pressure
sales tactics, high upfront
payments, handshake deals
without a contract, and on-site
inspections. Not all â€œstorm chasersâ€
are con artists, but enough
are that you should be cautious
any time a home contractor contacts
you fi rstâ€¦especially after
a natural disaster.
â€¢ Ask for references and check

Last year's grant covered the
repaying of Pamona Street

to submit comments on the

Are You Doing Enough to Keep
Your Kids Safer On Their Phone?
Stand for the Silent, an organization helping to stop school bullying
is offering ways to keep kids safer
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma â€”
When it comes to kids and phones,
the discussion focused on what
age was appropriate for them to
get their fi rst one. Now, it centers
more on how to keep them safer
using them, and for good reason.
There are many risks involved
with our youth using phones, and
we must do things to help keep
them safer. The good news is that
people can do numerous practical
things to help keep their kids safer
on their phones.
"Kids are going to have access to
smartphones, even if it's not theirs,"
says Kirk Smalley, co-founder of
Stand for the Silent. "We have to
take steps to help ensure their safety.
It's the best way to allow them
to use the technology and yet not
fall victim to the risks.â€
According to a March 2024 report
by the Pew Research Center,
today's teens are more digitally
connected than ever, and most
have access to smartphones and
social media. They report that 95%
of teens have access to a smartphone.
Many kids are getting their
fi rst phones around the age of 12.
Regardless of when kids get their
phones or start using someone
else's, it is essential to take safety
measures. Parents need to be
aware of a variety of safety concerns
so they can help keep their
kids safer. These include being
mindful when using it, knowing
about predators, mental health
risks, and bullying issues. Phones
can even cause problems with a
child's sleep quality if they are not
taught good boundaries about using
them.
Here are 5 practical tips for parents
to help keep their kids safer
using phones:
â€¢ Determine acceptable options.
Parents should determine what
they want their kids to be able to
do on the phone and then choose
a device. The features are important
and will determine how much
the child can do. This includes determining
acceptable types of devices,
apps, and websites.
â€¢ Consider helpful tools. Parents
can use tools, such as Bark, to monitor
their child's online usage. The
system has been designed to monitor
email, texts, and more and conduct
risk assessments. The parent
will receive an alert if a risk is assessed,
such as a predator interaction.
Another good tool option to
consider is Teen Safe.
â€¢ Set expectations and rules. Discuss
with the child what you feel is
acceptable phone usage and what
will happen if they don't follow it.
This goes for acceptable social media
usage, taking photos, how long
they can use it each day, and more.
â€¢ Discuss cyberbullying and
predators. This is a critical topic that
parents need to discuss with their
child. According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
reports of cyberbullying (bullying
done online or on the phone) are
highest in the middle, followed by
high school. Add to that the fact
that the U.S. Department of Justice
reports that sexual predators
are shifting their contacts with kids
to cell phones. Kids need to know
about each of these, what they look
like, how to identify it, and what to
do if they see it. They also need to
know itâ€™s not acceptable to participate
in cyberbullying of any kind.
â€¢ Set an example. Parents must
set an example of how to use
phones and all technology in a
healthy manner. This includes not
using it while driving a car, riding
a bike, overusing it, etc. In the Pew
Research report, nearly half of all
the teens surveyed said that their
parents are sometimes distracted
by their phones when they try
to talk to them. When parents establish
healthy phone habits and
boundaries, they are providing a
good example for their kids.
"There are no absolute ways to
keep our kids 100% safe on their
phones," adds Smalley. â€œBut doing
these things can go a long way toward
helping to reduce risks and
keep them safer. Thatâ€™s a step in
the right direction for every parent.â€
Stand for the Silent offers online
tools and information to help
guide parents regarding all types
of bullying, including cyberbulling.
Parents can visit their site for
information on their cyberbullying
prevention program, warning
signs, and more. They off er a social
bullets program to help parents
with this issue and they provide
a free downloadable handbook
that provides key signals to

Wreaths Across Americaâ€™s YouTube
channel Today â€“ National
Vietnam War Veterans Day.
â€œThe documentary off ers an
intimate and compelling look
at the journey of these veterans,â€
said videographer Nicholas
Mott. â€œCapturing the essence
of their experiences and
the profound impact of the Mission
Veteran Expedition was truly
an honor. I hope other Vietnam
veterans will watch it and
fi nd it healing.â€
The trip off ered ten veterans,
each of whom has made a living
in the transportation industry, an
extraordinary opportunity to revisit
Vietnam and refl ect on their
service there. The documentary
explores this impactful journey,
which combines travel, camaraderie,
and history. Waypoint Vets,
a non-profi t organization dedicated
to uniting and empowering
veterans through camaraderie
and adventure, led the expedition,
ensuring each participant
experienced a meaningful
and lasting journey. The itinerary
included a variety of experiences,
including:
â€¢ Grounds Tour of the Former
Saigon Embassy
â€¢ Walking Street Food Tour
through Ho Chi Minh City
â€¢ Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta
Luxury Tour
â€¢ War Remnants Museum
â€¢ Halong Bay Cruise
â€¢ Defense POW / MIA Accounting
Agency Tour
â€¢ A â€˜Welcome Homeâ€™ ceremony
hosted at Sirius XM studios in
Hollywood, with interviews on
Radio Nemo
â€œThe Mission Veteran Expedition
successfully commemorated
these veteransâ€™ valiant contributions
while allowing them to
experience the beauty of Vietnamâ€™s
landscapes and the richness
of its culture,â€ said Sarah
Lee, Army combat veteran and
founder of Waypoint Vets. â€œFor
many veterans, the memories associated
with Vietnam are often
intertwined with the challenges
of war. This expedition redefi ned
these associations and replaced
them with new, healing memories.
By engaging with Vietnam
on a deep, personal level, the trip
forged lasting connections and
helped veterans fi nd solace in
the beauty of a nation at peace.â€
As commemorative partners
of The United States of America
Vietnam War Commemoration,
FASTPORT and Wreaths Across
America have had the honor of
â€œWelcoming Homeâ€ more than
7,500 Vietnam veterans. â€œI feel
the tripâ€™s culmination was an
important piece of closure for
the participantâ€™s journey,â€ said
Brad Bentley, President of FASTPORT,
who traveled to Vietnam
with the group. â€œThese men returned
to the United States to a
heroâ€™s welcome, and for millions
who never received this show of
gratitude for answering the call
of duty, it was truly an honor to
say, â€˜Welcome Home.â€™â€

NAVS PLAYERS STEP UP IN THE CLUTCH, PRODUCE BIG MOMENTS
Until the North Shore Navigators assemble at Fraser Field to begin the 2024 New England Collegiate
Baseball League (NECBL) season in early June, the team will be highlighting its incoming playersâ€™ top
performances each week on nsnavs.com and social media.
Below is the sixth installment
of the Navs' College Baseball Report,
which will appear weekly on
Mondays.
LYNN, Mass. â€” Timely performances
were the theme of the
week for returning and incoming
North Shore Navigators alike
during the seventh week of the
collegiate season, with players
stepping up when the stage was
the biggest.
Returning Navs infi elder Brendan
Jones (Holy Cross) continued
his recent hot hitting on a
big Saturday for the Crusaders,
going 2-for-6 with a double and
two RBI over the fi rst two games
of a three-game Patriot League
sweep against Bucknell. Jones
got one hit in each of the Saturday
games while walking twice
in the second game. He also
stole his fi rst base of the season
and scored two runs on Sunday.
Jones is hitting.304 and has
a.944 OPS across 13 games this
season, having started in each
of his last seven.
Catcher Matt Chatelle (Merrimack)
carried over his performance
from last week as he was
4-for-9 in two games of the Warriorsâ€™
key Northeast Conference
series win at Wagner. Chatelle
started by going 3-for-5 with
one RBI to extend the lead in an
eventual 8-3 win. In a 4-3 win the
next day, the Stoneham native
collected two of the teamâ€™s four
RBI in game-tying situations on
a sacrifi ce fl y and a single. He has
recorded a hit in each of the last
three games he has started.
Returning Navs with big
weeks werenâ€™t limited to the
batter's box, as Brett Dunham
(Northeastern) recorded
four strikeouts in a two-inning
start last Tuesday against
Central Connecticut State. It
was his fi rst shutout start of the
season, helping to set the table
for a 10-9 win for the Huskies.
Dunham has also worked
two innings and fanned at least
four batters in back-to-back
starts dating back to his outing
against Merrimack the previous
week.
Dunhamâ€™s teammate and
fellow North Andover native
Ryan Griffin (Northeastern)
pitched his second shutout performance
of the season, fi nishing
off Monmouth with a scoreless
and hitless inning of work
in Fridayâ€™s fi rst game of a weekend
sweep. He didnâ€™t allow a hit,
walked just one and struck out
a batter for the third time in as
many appearances this spring.
Outfielder Ryan Gerety
rounded out a strong week for
the Northeastern trio, going
4-for-12 with four RBI and three
runs scored across the three

two hits in only his second
career start in Fridayâ€™s series-opening
win, driving in the

part of a three-RBI performance.

putting the ball in play as he

the weekend without striking

Revere boys volleyball team
sets eyes on another GBL title in 2024
By Dom Nicastro
A
s the fi rst serves of the 2024
season arc over the net, the
Revere High School boys volleyball
team looks to build on
an already impressive legacy.
At the heart of this quest is veteran
coach Lianne Oâ€™Hara Mimmo,
who carries over two decades
of teaching and coaching
wisdom onto the court.
With a track record that speaks
volumes â€“ capturing their fi rst
Greater Boston League (GBL)
title just last season â€“ the Patriots
have set the bar high for
what promises to be a thrilling
journey.
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo, who sparked
life into the boys program four
years ago, has shaped a team
known not just for its on-court
prowess but for its off-court
character. This season, alongside
a roster brimming with
potential, she faces the unique
challenge of blending seasoned
leaders with young talent
hungry to make their mark.
As the Patriots braced for
their season opener this week
against Lynn English, we sat
down with Coach Oâ€™Hara Mimmo
to delve into the teamâ€™s
preparation, highlight the stars
of the squad and explore the
goals that will defi ne their 2024
campaign.
Advocate: Years coaching
for you in this position/your
coaching background:
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: I taught in
Revere for 21 years and have
been coaching almost all of
them. I coached the girls program
for six years and began
another degree and didnâ€™t
think I would have the time to
do both. I am trying to do both
this boys season. I started the
boys program four years ago.
Last year, in our third year, we
were able to capture the fi rst
GBL league title.
Advocate: What are your
teamâ€™s main goals for this upcoming
season?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: Our main
goal is to improve every day;
ultimately, theyâ€™d like to win
another GBL title, but know we
have some tough competition.
Advocate: Can you share
some highlights or key
achievements from the last
season?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: Going 16-4
in the regular season, winning
the GBL title, having the GBL
MVP and three league all-stars.
Advocate: How has the
team prepared in the off season
to tackle the challenges
of the new season?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: We played
fall ball at Oâ€™Bryant High School.
We had weekly open gyms;
many played club volleyball
during the winter season.
Advocate: How many players
on the fi nal rosters for all
levels?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: Varsity has
10 with three players that will
swing to play JV games; 10 on
JV and six on the freshman
team.
Advocate: Who
are some players
to watch this season,
and what makes
them stand out?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo:
Our returning senior
captain Ruben Rodriguez
will be a key player
in our system this
year. He has been playing
since his freshman
year of high school
and has competed in
two seasons of club
volleyball. He excels at
the outside hitter position
and his defense
is one of the best on the team.
Kawan Dias and Lucas JimiLIANNE
Oâ€™HARA MIMMO
RHS Volleyball Coach
nez are junior front-row attackers,
and this will be their second
season on the varsity team. We
will be relying on their blocking
and spiking skills as the season
continues.
We have a large class of sophomores
that will play an integral
role. Our two setters Larry Claudio
and Isaac Portillo are tasked
with running our off ense this
season as well as contributing
defensively as well. Chris Choc
Chavez is a returning defensive
specialist, and Juan Perez Aristizabal
is developing as an outside
attacker as well.
Advocate: Tell me about the
captains and what they bring.
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: Ruben Rodriguez
is the solo captain right
now. He is knowledgeable, vocal
and a driving force in the
success of our program in three
short years.
Four other athletes are completing
â€œThe Team Captainâ€™s
Leadership Manualâ€ and will
assist Ruben with the leadership
task.
Advocate: Are there any
promising newcomers on
the team that you believe will
make a signifi cant impact?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: We have a
couple of freshmen who will
practice with varsity but will
play on game day with the JV
squad. They are Joao Almeida
and Omar Solano Garcia. Both
have great potential and volleyball
instincts.
Advocate: How do you foster
leadership and teamwork
among the players, especially
with the mix of veterans and
new talent?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: My captains
must read â€œThe Team Captainâ€™s
Leadership Manualâ€ by Jeff
Janssen. They must also conduct
interviews focused on
character, composure, confidence
and commitment. During
the summer and preseason,
our athletes are given the opportunity
to lead open gym
and drills during the season. I
expect my captains to be extensions
of me on the court, so during
each huddle they should be
communicating with the team
about things to fi x, strategy and
giving energy and spirit.
Advocate: What would you
say is your teamâ€™s greatest
strength and biggest challenge
this season?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: Greatest
strength would be commitment
and chemistry. Biggest
challenge is that we are undersized.
Advocate:
How do you plan
to address any identified
weaknesses or challenges?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: We have
been working on diff erent strategies
to score and being better
defensively. If we can improve
our serving consistency
and speed, other teams would
struggle to hang with us.
Advocate: Are there any
teams in the league that you
see as your main rivals? Who
looks good in the league?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: We love
playing with and competing
against Malden. Our boys often
show up to each otherâ€™s open
gyms, and the compete level
is high; they have a great team
and program.
Advocate: What do you enjoy
most about coaching this
team?
Oâ€™Hara Mimmo: This group
of boys are hardworking, have
high energy and love to play
volleyball. The team chemistry
is good and improving every
day.

Mike Vecchione knows championships
Accomplished Saugus native owns three titles on three different levels, and heâ€™s not done yet
By Joe McConnell
M
ike Vecchione has known
nothing but success
throughout his hockey career.
The Saugus native fi rst led Malden
Catholic to its fi rst Division
1 Super 8 state championship as
its captain in 2011, when they defeated
St. Johnâ€™s Prep in overtime
at the TD Garden. Six years later,
he captained Union College to the
NCAA Division 1 title, and last year
he won his fi rst pro championship
with the AHLâ€™s (American Hockey
League) Hershey Bears, the Washington
Capitals minor league affi liate.
The Bears are now on pace to
repeat as Calder Cup champs with
Mike still in charge as a team captain
on the ice. Will the Stanley
Cup be in his future? Quite possibly,
but let him tell his story.
In 59 games, Vecchione, who
plays leftwing, has 15 goals and 16
assists. As a team, Hershey has the
best overall record by far to date in
the entire league at 47-12-5. The
Providence Bruins are second to
the Bears in the Atlantic Division
â€“ fourth in the entire league â€“ with
a 38-19-7 record. The Coachella
Valley (Southern California) Firebirds,
out of the Pacifi c Division,
has the second-best record in the
league at 40-14-9. The Central Division
Milwaukee Admirals ranks
third in the league with a 42-201
mark. The regular season concludes
on April 21.
Vecchione expects to win another
Calder Cup this year after
stints in the Philadelphia Flyers,
St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche
organizations. He signed
on with the Bears several years
ago, because of the clubâ€™s winning
tradition.
â€œOne of the things that drove
me to sign with the Hershey Bears
a few years ago was their will to
win every year,â€ Vecchione said.
â€œThereâ€™s never really a rebuild in
Hershey. We hold ourselves to
a certain standard, and so does
the town. It seems like every single
season they build a team that
can win the Calder Cup, and thatâ€™s
what you want as a player.
â€œAfter winning last season, we
knew we were going to lose some
guys to other teams, as well as the
European leagues so the quest
to repeat started well before the
season,â€ he added. â€œAlthough we
lost a handful of key contributors,
we were able to replace them
with the same caliber of player,
and once the season got going,
we immediately had chemistry
and picked up right where we
left off . We tried not to look too
far ahead. We stayed pretty level-headed
throughout the entire
season. We just took it one game
at a time, and strived to achieve
certain milestones to keep us
motivated. We put ourselves in
an incredible position to clinch
home ice throughout the playoff
s, which we didnâ€™t have last season.
Our goal right now is to fi nish
the regular season on a high
note, playing playoff -style hockey
with high intensity to lock-in
the top overall seed.â€
Despite winning a state high
school title and a collegiate championship
on the highest of levels,
Vecchione considers last yearâ€™s
conquest the hardest of the three.
â€œWinning the Calder Cup was
one of the hardest things Iâ€™ve
ever gone through in my career,â€
the Saugus native said. â€œWhen it
comes to the Super 8 or the national
collegiate championship,
itâ€™s a one game, winner-take-all
scenario. To put it into perspective,
I played more games last year
in the Calder Cup playoff s than I
did in the Super 8 and NCAA tournament
combined. The grind of
playing every other night, series
after series, with long travel times
between sites was very diffi cult,
but the reward in the end was
well worth it.â€
Mike Vecchione of Saugus has
won a state high school hockey
championship with Malden
Catholic in 2011 and a NCAA
Division 1 National Championship
title with Union College
in 2017, before winning
the Calder Cup with the AHLâ€™s
Hershey Bears last year. The
Saugus native was a captain of
each one of these squads. Heâ€™s
now hoping to win another
Calder Cup sometime in June.

But then came Game 7 of the
Mike Vecchione of Saugus keeps his head up as he skates up ice for
the Hershey Bears during a game this year. (Courtesy photo / Hershey Bears)
AHL Finals against the Firebirds,
and what led to Vecchioneâ€™s most
memorable goal ever. â€œEveryone
was so tense. It seemed like
we were approaching a second
overtime, and then it happened
and a wave of adrenaline hit me,â€
he said. â€œItâ€™s still hard to describe
the feeling of scoring the winning
goal in overtime in Game 7
to clinch the Calder Cup. The emotions
were so overwhelming, but
everything I had gone through in
my career helped me get through
that moment.â€
But Mike doesnâ€™t take any of
these championships for granted.
â€œIt truly is a unique experience,
and Iâ€™ve been extremely fortunate
to have won at each level,â€ he said.
â€œIt really takes a full team to win
a championship, and I thank all
my teammates over the years for
giving it everything they had. I remember
being most nervous in
the Super 8 game at the TD Garden.
It was my last game as a high
school hockey player. After three
years of coming so close and failing,
doubt started to creep in. I felt
like there was such a weight on
my shoulders being the captain,
and not getting it done would
be devastating. You just have to
bury those doubts and give it everything
you have. Playing in that
type of situation as a kid prepares
you for when the stage gets a little
bigger and the lights shine a little
brighter. By the time I got to the
NCAA Division 1 national champiMike

captain last year, and he now has his teammates currently on top

onship game, I was well-prepared
mentally and physically to go out
and play without the weight of a
title on the line. You just have to
put the distractions aside and focus
on the task at hand.
â€œWhen we got blown out in
Games 1 and 2 of last yearâ€™s fi -
nals, that doubt started to creep
in again. But I was given great
advice from former Bears legend
Chris Bourque. He reached out to
me and said: â€˜You are never running
away with it and youâ€™re never
out of it. Take control of the series.â€™
We did just that to win all
three games at home in dramatic
fashion. When it got to Game 7 in
Coachella, it felt just like another
game to me. I remembered being
in this situation before as a high
school and college player. It was
another one game, winner-takeall
scenario, and so I was prepared
to embrace the moment. You never
want to take these moments for
granted, because they donâ€™t come
around that often, but when you
win that moment lasts a lifetime.â€
But naturally, aside from winning
another Calder Cup this year,
heâ€™d love to play in the NHL (National
Hockey League) someday
to have an opportunity to win the
Stanley Cup.
â€œMy goal has always been to
play in the NHL and win a Stanley
Cup,â€ Vecchione said. â€œIt would
be quite a remarkable feat to
add that to my collection. Iâ€™m
still hopeful it can be done, even
though the door seems to be closing.
I can only control what I do on
the ice. I canâ€™t control call-ups. The
only thing I can do is to continue
to play to the best of my ability,
and if the time comes, I know I
will be ready.â€
Vecchione, who just turned 31
on Feb. 25, knows heâ€™s one of the
oldest players on the Hershey
roster.
â€œIt really is crazy how fast time
fl ies,â€ he said. â€œIâ€™m not quite the
oldest on the rosterâ€¦yet. There
are several other players on our
team older than me, but I understand
Iâ€™m 10 years older than
our youngest guy, and Iâ€™m on the
back nine of my career. Iâ€™ve been
a captain on many teams, and my
responsibility as a leader hasnâ€™t
changed throughout my career.
Iâ€™ve always been a leader whose
actions speak louder than my
words. Whether itâ€™s in a practice
or a game, I want to go out and
execute at a high level.
â€œWhen it comes to mentoring,
Iâ€™m always open to help out
younger guys in any way I can.
They have scouts, developmental
guys and coaches constantly in
their ears telling them what they
need to do, so it can get stressful
for them. Although we are competing
for jobs on the NHL Capitals,
we are also teammates competing
to win a Calder Cup together.
Itâ€™s a weird dynamic to
think about, but if a guy is struggling
with something Iâ€™m always
here to help him out. When I was
a rookie, I sat around with the
veterans, picked their brains and
worked with them after practice
to improve little aspects of my

RHS Patriots Sports Round-Up
By Dom Nicastro
Revere softball beats Lynn
English
Revere softball opened the season
on a high note with a 10-7 win
over Greater Boston League rival
Lynn English.
Shayna Smith and Lea Doucette
each had solo home runs. Anna
Doucette and Caleigh Joyce each
got their fi rst varsity hits. Frankie
Reed and Brianna Miranda chipped
in with a hit each.
Danni Randall pitched all seven
innings. She fi nished with 14
strikeouts.
â€œWe had some great fi eld work
from Isabella Qualtieri and Luiza
Santos and Jordan Martelli as well,â€
Revere coach Megan Oâ€™Donnell
said. â€œRiley Stracci made a few good
plays at shortstop for us, too.â€
Revere came back to win after
being down 7-1 in the second inning.
Girls
tennis banking on returning
players
The Revere girls tennis team
opens up April 10 against Somerville
at home. The Patriots have
many returning players who
should add a great deal to the
team as well as new players with a
lot of potential, according to coach
Carla Maniscalco.
â€œWith all the rain weâ€™ve been getting,
I am still working on challenge
matches to determine the lineup,â€
Maniscalco said heading into
this week.
Jaimy Gomez, Kelly Landaverde,
Karla Leal Robles and Lesly Calderon
Lopez are all senior returnees,
and the coach is expecting that
they will all be important role models
for the rest of the team.
Girls lacrosse gearing up for
strong run
Amy Rotger heads into her third
season as the Revere girls lacrosse
coach.
â€œWe are a very young team this
year, and our goal is to go out there
and give it our all,â€ Rotger said. â€œThis
is a lot of our girlsâ€™ fi rst year playing
lacrosse so learning the sport and
having fun while competing are
the most important.â€
Revere fi nished in second place
in the Greater Boston League last
season and fi nished with a 10-11
record.
Junior Jayla Foster is the teamâ€™s
captain.
â€œShe brings experience and great
leadership to our team,â€ Rotger
said. â€œShe goes out and gives it her
all every game and is always helping
out her teammates who donâ€™t
know the game as well as she does.â€
The team only has three girls returning
from last season. The goal
is to â€œcreate a positive environment
where we work fun and have fun
doing it. Our goal is that by the end
of this season, not only do these
girls have teammates but also have
forever friendships,â€ Rotger said.
â€œI love the enthusiasm these girls
bring to the game of lacrosse,â€ Rotger
added. â€œThey come to practice
each day and give it their all. Thatâ€™s
all you can ask for as a coach.â€
Ultimately, Rotger wants to bring
back some popularity for girls lacrosse
to the city of Revere.
â€œWe hope that young girls see
how fun lacrosse is and are willing
to give it a shot,â€ Rotger said. â€œBeing
a part of a team is such a crucial
part of life, and the ability to
build lifelong relationships goes a
long way.â€

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon
Hill Roll Call records local senatorsâ€™
votes on roll calls from the
week of March 25-29. There were
no roll calls in the House last week.
DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES
(S 2713)
Senate 39-0, approved and sent
to the House a bill that would
make some changes in the current
state laws about debt collection
practices.
The measure includes reducing
from 12 percent to 3 percent
the maximum interest rate that
can be charged for judgments on
consumer debt; increasing from
$750 per week to $975 per week
the amount of a personâ€™s wages
that is protected from garnishment
because of a debt; reducing
from six years to fi ve years, the time
in which a company can bring suit
to collect a consumer debt; and ensuring
that no one is imprisoned
for failure to pay a consumer debt.
â€œIn Massachusetts, no family
should have to choose between
putting food on the table or making
a minimum payment on a ballooning
debt,â€ said Sen. Paul Feeney
(D-Foxborough), Senate Chair
of the Committee on Financial Services.
â€œDebt collection practices
can, at times, be predatory, unlawful
and designed to squeeze every
dime out of middle-class and lowincome
families, especially with
the added burden of accumulating
interest and additional fees that
are designed to push families over
a fi nancial cliff . The [legislation] will
not eliminate debt or an obligation
to pay, but it will add needed
guardrails to protect hard-working
families from financial ruin,
give a lifeline to those caught in a
debt spiral and help deliver hope
to those in a vicious cycle.â€
â€œThis bill aims to implement
stricter regulations on debt collectors
in order to prevent fi nancial
mistreatment of Massachusetts
residents,â€ said chief sponsor
Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough).
â€œIt seeks to safeguard consumersâ€™
economic security during
debt repayment, prohibit excessively
high interest rates and eliminate
the possibility of consumers
being sent to â€˜debtorâ€™s prisonâ€™
when facing legal action.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill.)
Sen. Lydia Edwards
Yes
SAFETY FOR FIREFIGHTERS (S
2712)
Senate 40-0, approved and sent
to the House legislation that would
create a public database of violations
of the stateâ€™s fi re prevention
laws and a public notifi cation system
to alert workers of violations.
The measure is designed to
boost safety for fi refi ghters and
people conducting â€œhot workâ€ including
welding, plasma cutting
and spark-producing construction.
The proposed law has been
ten years in the making and was
fi rst prompted by the March 2014
deaths of firefighters Edward
Walsh and Michael Kennedy who
perished while fi ghting a fi re that
was caused by welders, working
without a city permit, on a building
next door to the brownstone
in which they died.
â€œThis legislation represents historic
regulatory reforms that the
Walsh-Kennedy Commission
helped institute across the hot
works and welding industry in
Massachusetts,â€ said chief sponsor
Sen. Nick Collins (D-Boston). â€œPassing
this legislation will ensure that
the critical reforms, training, oversight
and accountability needed
to prevent tragedies like the Back
Bay fi re, will be the law of the land.
We do this in honor of Boston Fire
Lieutenant Edward Walsh and Firefi
ghter Michael Kennedy so that
their sacrifi ces are not in vain.â€
â€œThe heartbreaking loss of life in
the 2014 Back Bay fi re is a constant
reminder of the importance of fi refi
ghter safety,â€ said Sen. Walter Timilty
(D-Milton), Senate Chair of the
Committee on Public Safety and
Homeland Security. â€œI am honored
to have shepherded this crucial bill
through the committee. Today, the
Senateâ€™s action represents an important
step forward in ensuring
that our remarkable firefighters
have the resources that they need
to keep themselves safe and protect
our communities.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the bill.)
Sen. Lydia Edwards
Yes
ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
HOUSE APPROVES SEVERAL
BILLS â€“ The House gave initial approval
to several bills last week including:
CITY
AND TOWN ASSESSORS (H
2112) â€“ Amends current law which
allows municipalities to give stipends
to assessors who receive
their Certified Assessment Evaluator
certificate from the International
Association of Assessing
Offi cers, or their Certifi ed Massachusetts
Assessor certifi cate from
the Massachusetts Association of
Assessing Offi cers, Inc. The bill increases
the stipend municipalities
may award for these certifi cates
from $3,000 to $5,000 for full-time
assessors and also adds two new
certifi cates which would result in
the stipend.
â€œAssessors play a vital role in
the fi nancial issues of every city
and town in the commonwealth,â€
said sponsor Rep. Tom Stanley
(D-Waltham). â€œThis legislation improves
the profession, enhances
the assessorâ€™s skillset and improves
taxpayer effi ciency and services to
property owners.â€
FREE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
FOR VETERANS WHO ARE GOING
TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS (H
3527) - Provides free transportation
on the MBTA system for veterans
who travel to or from a Veterans
Administration hospital for
medical care. The veteran must
present proof of a medical appointment
on the date of travel in
the form of a notice from the Veterans
Administration indicating the
veteranâ€™s name and the date and
the location of the appointment.
â€œI have heard from a number of
veterans who say it can be a challenge
to get transportation to their
medical appointments,â€ said sponsor
Rep. Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly).
â€œThis bill would cover the cost
of public transit for those seeking
care at the Veterans Administration
and help reduce one of the barriers,
the cost of transportation, for
those who have served our country
with honor.â€
ALLOW YOUNGER YOUTH SOCCER
REFEREES (H 1852) - Would
allow minors who are 12- and
13-years-old to referee youth soccer
games for matches in which
the age bracket of the players is
younger than the 12- or 13-yearold
referee.
Other provisions require the refereeâ€™s
parents or guardians to provide
the employer with a written
consent form; require the employer
to provide the parent or guardian
with written policies describing
the responsibilities of a referee and
provide the minor with training;
and mandating that an adult representing
the employer is on the
premise during the match.
â€œThis legislation would benefit
both the youths in question
and their communities as these
programs are extended,â€ said cosponsor
Rep. Kathy LaNatra (DKingston).
ALLOW
SOME 17-YEAR OLDS
TO VOTE IN PRIMARIES (H 705) â€“
Would allow voters who will turn
18 and be eligible to vote in a November
general election to also
vote in the preceding primary election
even though they will only
be 17 at the time of the primary
election.
Supporters said that allowing
17-year-olds olds to have a voice
would establish a foundation for
lifelong engagement in the democratic
process and bolster civic engagement
of these youths.
Rep. Joan Meschino (D-Hull) fi rst
sponsored the bill in 2020 at the
request of then-16-year-old Hingham
High School student Samantha
Bevins, now a 21-year-old junior
at Dartmouth College studying
Government and Public Policy,
who wanted this group to be
allowed to vote in the Bay Stateâ€™s
March 2020 presidential primary.
Bevins said she is thrilled to learn
that the bill received initial approval.
â€œI proposed this legislation â€¦
when I was 16 because I wanted
fi rst-time voters in the commonwealth
to have the same rights as
my peers in 27 other states and
Washington, D.C.,â€ said Bevins. â€œIt
is crucial that young people have
the opportunity to fully participate
in their fi rst election cycle by having
a say in the primaries on candidates
who will ultimately be on
the ballot in the general election. I
am hopeful our bill will [receive further
approval] soon in order to fully
enfranchise fi rst-time voters before
the next Massachusetts state
primaries.â€
â€œThis legislation promotes a
model of civic engagement and
full enfranchisement that is critical
to foster among our young people,
who are the future of this country,â€
said Meschino. â€œHingham resident
Samantha Bevins and her peersâ€™
continued engagement in the advocacy
process during consecutive
legislative sessions demonstrates
that these young adults are fully
equipped and ready for the opportunity
to fully engage in the election
process, and I commend them
for their groundbreaking eff orts.â€
â€[The bill] will lead to increased
voter turnout that transcends party
lines and further engages the
youngest voters,â€ said co-sponsor
Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham).
â€œThis furthers our civic engagement
goals and aligns the commonwealth
with 27 other states
including Mississippi, Wyoming,
West Virginia and Maine.â€
AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE (H
466) â€“ Would require that American
Sign Language (ASL) be taught
in all Bay State public elementary
and secondary schools to increase
interactions between hearing
persons and deaf and hard-ofhearing
persons, as well as children
with autism. Current law allows
but does not require schools
to teach ASL.
â€œEvery student deserves access
to diverse linguistic opportunities,â€
said sponsor Rep. Carol Doherty
(D-Taunton). â€œBy requiring that ASL
courses be off ered for credit alongside
traditional world languages
in Massachusetts public schools,
weâ€™re not only fostering inclusivity
for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
community but also enriching
our educational landscape with a
vibrant and vital language.â€
SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE
ON STUDENT IDS (H 1999) â€“
Would require all public schools
with grades 6 to 12, and all public
and private colleges to include on

Now itâ€™s come full circle, and Iâ€™m
happy to pass on some of that
wisdom to them.â€
Stanley Cup still in the cards
â€œI still have another year (with
the Capitals organization), but
honestly, Iâ€™ve had the most fun
since turning pro playing right
here in Hershey, and I canâ€™t picture
playing somewhere else right
now. If we win another Calder Cup
this year, I would then be looking
for a threepeat,â€ Mike said on his
future. â€œLike I said earlier, Hershey
builds teams to win every year.
They have already locked in our
coaching staff and our leadership
group, which really sets the foundation
and culture of our team.
You lose guys every year to free
agency, but when guys sign with
the Bears, they are hungry to win.
They see the banners, they see all
the pictures, they see the videos
and hear the stories, and all they
want is a taste of it. Itâ€™s a good recipe
to build a team, and itâ€™s a big
reason why I signed here. When
my contract is up after next year,
we will see where the wind takes
me. I think Iâ€™d be happy fi nishing
my career as a Bear, but if a Stanley
Cup contender calls me, Iâ€™m all
ears. Iâ€™ll never completely shut the
door on the potential of winning
a Stanley Cup, but Iâ€™m also Iâ€™m not
an idiot. Iâ€™m a realist and understand
Iâ€™ve only played three NHL
games in my pro career. But anything
can happen. You just have
to be ready when it does.â€
Always a Saugonian
Vecchione has traveled the
country throughout his pro career,
but Saugus remains his
home. â€œI bought a home around
Saugus Center about fi ve years
ago, and live there in the summer.
When I get home, I usually
hit Joeâ€™s Gym, where I get some
good work in with my dad. I also
like to put on the rollerblades, and
work on my craft in the park. That
has always been where I found
peace. For as long as I can remember,
Iâ€™ve always gone to the park
to master the game I love. Iâ€™ve always
found that the work you
put in away from the rink has the
biggest eff ect, because you only
have a certain amount of ice time
in the summer, and itâ€™s expensive,â€
Recommended Vaccines for
Medicare Recipients
Dear Savvy Senior,
My husband and I recently turned 65 and would like to fi nd out which vaccines
are recommended and covered by Medicare?
New Benefi ciaries
Dear New,
All recommended vaccines
for adults, age 65 and older,
should be covered by either
Medicare Part B or Part D, but
there are some coverage challenges
you should be aware
of. Hereâ€™s a rundown of which
vaccines are recommended by
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and how
Medicare covers them.
Covid-19: Even though Covid-19
is no longer a public health
emergency, it can still cause severe
illness, particularly in older
adults. Because the Covid virus
continues to mutate, new vaccines
are being developed to
keep pace, so the CDC recommends
that all seniors stay up
to date with the latest Covid vaccines,
including booster shots.
All Covid-19 shots are covered
100 percent by Medicare Part B.
Flu: Considered an annual
vaccination, most people of all
ages receive fl u shots in the fall
when flu season begins. The
CDC recommends seniors, 65
and older get a high-dose fl u
shot for extra protection beyond
what a standard fl u shot
off ers. The Fluzone High Dose
Quadrivalent, FLUAD Quadrivalent
and FluBlok Quadrivalent
are your three options.
Annual fl u shots are covered
under Medicare Part B.
Pneumonia: These vaccines
help protect against pneumococcal
disease, which can
cause pneumonia, meningitis
and other infections. The CDC
recommends everyone 65 and
older get a pneumococcal vaccine.
There are several diff erent
vaccine options available, so
talk to your doctor or pharmacists
to fi nd out which is best for
you or visit the CDCâ€™s Pneumococcal
Vaccination webpage at
CDC.gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/
public/index.html.
Medicare Part B covers both
single dose and two-dose
pneumococcal shots once in
your lifetime.
Shingles: Caused by the
same virus that causes chicken
pox, shingles is a painful, blistering
skin rash that aff ects more
than 1 million Americans every
year. All people over age 50 are
recommended to get the twodose
Shingrix vaccine, which is
given two to six months apart,
even if you previously received
Zostavax. In 2020, Shingrix replaced
Zostavax, which is no
longer available in the U.S.
All Medicare Part D prescription
drug plans cover shingles
vaccinations, but coverage
amounts, and reimbursement
rules vary depending on
where the shot is given. Check
your plan.
Tdap: Tetanus, diphtheria,
and pertussis (whooping
cough) are diseases caused by
bacteria that can lead to serious
illness and death. Therefore,
a one-time dose of the
Tdap vaccine is recommended
to all adults. If youâ€™ve already
had a Tdap shot, you should get
atetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster
shot every 10 years.
All Medicare Part D plans cover
these vaccinations.
RSV: Respiratory syncytial
virus (RSV) can lead to pneumonia
or bronchiolitis and can
worsen other chronic conditions
common among older
adults, such as asthma and
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). The CDC
recommends all adults, age
60 and older, talk to their doctor
about getting one of the
RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or
Abrysvo), usually in the fall and
winter months when the virus
is most prevalent.
Most Medicare Part D plans
cover the RSV vaccine, but not
all. If your plan doesnâ€™t cover it,
you can ask for a coverage exception.
You can also pay for
the shot out of pocket and then
follow-up with your plan to get
reimbursed. If you pay for the
shot upfront, your plan must
pay you back.
Other Vaccinations
There are other vaccines
you may need depending on
your health, lifestyle or travel
plans. To help you get a handle
on which ones are appropriate
for you, take the CDCâ€™s
What Vaccines Do You Need?
quiz at www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched.
Also, talk to your
doctor during your next visit
about what vaccinations you
should get.

Mike said.
â€œThereâ€™s nothing better than
getting the boys together and
playing hours of street hockey until
we had blisters on our hands
and feet. Later on in the summer, I
would do more on ice skating and
shooting to gear up for camp, but
I live playing on the street hockey
court. That being said, Saugus
could really use a new street hockey
rink. Iâ€™m no politician, but Anna
Parker is a mess with weeds growing
through the concrete. It really
makes it nearly impossible to even
go down there and enjoy playing.
Itâ€™s been 25 years since the
court was made, and no maintenance
has been done on it over
the years. Itâ€™s a shame the place I
spent countless hours at is in such
disarray, and so I have to drive to
another town to get a good skate
in. itâ€™s time for an upgrade, please.
â€œThe tennis courts at Belmonte
and the basketball courts at Evans
are absolutely beautiful, but this
has always been a hockey town
and itâ€™s time we fi nd a place to put
a street hockey rink in with boards
and a fence. Iâ€™d be willing to raise
money and donate my own money
to make it happen. A new or
renovated facility would inspire
more kids to chase their dreams
like I did.â€
But Mike Vecchioneâ€™s dreams
are far from over, and by June he
just might be hoisting another
Calder Cup trophy with the Hershey
Bears, his fourth title in the
past 13 years on three diff erent
levels, an achievement that will
certainly be diffi cult to replicate.

The bill includes a provision that
allows any schools and colleges
which have a supply of old ID cards
without the 988 line to continue to
distribute those IDS until the supply
is gone.
Supporters said that while suicide
is a leading cause of death
for people of all ages in the United
States, young people are particularly
at risk. They noted that
according to a study published by
the National Center for Health Statistics
at the end of last year, suicide
was the second leading cause
of death for Americans aged 15-24,
representing a 56 percent increase
in the previous decade. They argued
that there are signifi cant disparities
in these numbers, with LGBTQ+
youth being at greater risk,
and Black youth seeing a 73 percent
increase in youth suicide rates
in that same time period.
â€œIt can be diffi cult for someone to

by going 8-for-20 over fi ve games
for the top-ranked Division 3 team
in the country. MacDougall began
the week with a 3-for-5 performance
last Monday against Western
New England, collecting a
double and driving in the fi rst run
in an 11-3 Gulls victory. MacDougall
extended his hit streak to 10
straight games, while also drawing
four walks on the week to raise his
season total to 12. The latter mark
currently outpaces his strikeout
total. He was a threat on the bases
as well, stealing eight bases in
his last four games to take over the
team lead with 13.
Kyle Wolff (Boston College)
continued his power surge with
two home runs over a four-game
stretch that was highlighted by
a three-game weekend sweep
of ACC rival Georgia Tech. Wolff
slugged his first homer of the
weekend as part of a two-hit,
two-RBI performance on Thursday
before also going deep on
Saturday. The sophomore first
baseman from Andover also
doubled and drove in two runs
in the latter game. Wolff fi nished
the week with at least one hit in
each game he played, as he currently
leads the Eagles in batting
average at.346 and RBI with 31
this season.
It was another consistent week
for freshman outfi elder Kyle Jones
(Stetson), who fi nished 5-for-14
against Atlantic Sun Conference
opponent Eastern Kentucky on
the weekend. Jonesâ€™ high point of

a 3-for-4 performance with
a double, two RBI and two runs
scored. Jones fi nished the weekend
with four total RBI and continued
to be a threat on the bases,
stealing three on Friday to take
the lead in steals for Stetson with
12 this season. Jones held onto his
team lead with both a.375 batting
average and.508 on-base percentage,
while currently riding a sixgame
hitting streak and 15-game
on-base streak after the weekend.
Back on the mound, Anthony
Ehly (Seton Hall) started his third
game of the season on Thursday,
tying his career high with five
strikeouts over four innings of
work en route to a win over Mercer.
It was the sophomoreâ€™s third
performance in a row where he
was able to pitch at least four innings,
and his fourth such performance
of the year.
Another Nav who hit in the
clutch was infi elder Mason Dobie
(Dayton), who closed his week
with a walk-off home run in Sundayâ€™s
10th inning to propel the Flyers
to the series win over Fordham.
Dobie went 3-for-8 over the fi nal
two games of the series, collecting
a double and his sixth home run of
the season on Saturday while driving
in two. Dobie paired his power
with patience, drawing a pair of
walks over the weekend to bring
his season total to 16 free passes.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEKâ€™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
Legislatureâ€™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
Moroney turned in a series high
of two hits while scoring a run of
his own on Saturday. He also took
the team lead in another category
during the week, stealing three
bases to move his season total to
four in fi ve attempts.
It was another strong week for
Alex Luccini (UMass Lowell) who
finished with five hits and two
walks, spurred on by his 3-for-6
performance against Fairfi eld last
Tuesday. Luccini slugged a double
and stole two bases against
the Stags, as he currently leads
the River Hawks in steals with seven
this year. Lucciniâ€™s two additional
hits over the weekend brought
his season total to 31, the best for
any River Hawks player.
Fellow outfielder Brady Dever
(Brown) slugged his way
through the start of his week, going
5-for-7 across consecutive
games against Stonehill and Harvard.
Dever opened with a perfect
4-for-4 game last Tuesday,
collecting a season-high four RBI
and walking twice to pair with a
double in the Bearsâ€™ 14-5 win over
Stonehill. Dever followed this with
another double on Saturday, driving
in both the fi rst and fi nal runs
of Brown's 4-2 win to begin a doubleheader
against Harvard.

Nicolas N. Portillo
O

Maria
Domenica
Champoux
O
f Revere. Affectionately
known as â€œReâ€, was called
home by our Lord Jesus Christ
on March 29, 2024. Born on September
30, 1943, in the quaint
town of Chiusano di San Domenico
in the Province of Avellino,
Italy, Maria was a spirited
soul who lived life to the fullest.
Her vivacious personality was
evident from her early years,
where she danced her way to
being known as â€œBest Dancerâ€
in Revere High School Class of
1963. After high school, Maria
and her husband, Ronnie, made
homes in Somerville and Kingston,
Massachusetts, then settled
back in Revere. Still, her heart always
held a special place for her
women and parents, babies
with neonatal abstinence and
prevention.
Salemme and Palermo told
the board that SUDHI has used
roughly $18,000 of settlement
funds. Just over $8,000 was
used for staff salaries and benefi
ts, while about $10,000 was
spent on program needs such
as survey and speaker costs,
with $6,500 going toward Naloxone
boxes.
The Opioid abatement team
will install emergency boxes
birthplace, Avellino, Italy.
Maria was a resilient woman
who faced lifeâ€™s challenges with
determination and grace. She
spent many years working as a
Patient Accounts Representative
for Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare,
showcasing her care and
dedication to those she served.
Mariaâ€™s creativity was best expressed
through her love for
knitting, crocheting, crafts, gardening,
and making beautiful
bows for weddings and all holidays.
Her vibrant gardens were a
testament to her love for life and
the beauty it holds. Maria found
joy in the simplest of things - a
shopping trip to Marshalls, getting
a manicure or pedicure, leafpeeping,
or attending a Boston
Celtics game. Her love for DooWop
music and travel took her
to many concerts, musicals, and
corners of the world. Mariaâ€™s love
for the beach, sunbathing, and
water fountains was a refl ection
of her free spirit.
Maria was a loving wife to Ronald
Champoux, a doting mother
to her daughters, Noelle Champoux
and Danielle Champoux
Bohnke, and a cherished mother-in-law
to Nathan Bohnke. Her
love extended to her grandchildren
- Lilly and Bennett Olson
and Travis Bohnke, as well all her
granddogs, Louis and Ruby, to
whom she snuck many a treat.
She is survived by all of them including
her brother, Mario Meriano,
and her sister, Angelina
Harrington, and many in-laws,
nieces, and nephews. Maria was
preceded in death by her parents,
Carmine and Morosa Meriano,
and her brothers Walter
Iandolo and Michael, Carmine,
and Anthony Meriano, as well
as her grandson, Gavin Bohnke.
Her love was immeasurable, and
what mattered most to her were
her family, close friends, neighbors,
gardening, and cooking.
She was often asked to bring salad
with her famous homemade
dressing to family events.
Everyone loved Maria - her
spirit was infectious, and her resilience
was admirable. Her life
was a testimony to her creative,
loving, and spirited nature. We
invite you to share your memories,
stories, and pictures of Mawith
doses of Narcan, a lifesaving
medication that reverses
the eff ects of an overdose and
decreases the chance of death.
Boxes will be placed outdoors,
on telephone poles or other
prominent spots. There will
also be Naloxone boxes placed
in businesses that can provide
access in case of emergencies.
Palermo explained the boxes
were part of harm reduction,
and will potentially prevent
the worst outcome from
overdoses.

recollections and photos will

on in our hearts.
