Dr. Martin Luther King Day. Ha Vol. 34, No.2 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday Expensive Choices: City Council presented with two proposals for new high school Pros and cons for building on current school and Wonderland sites By Barbara Taormina B rian Dakin, senior project manager for the high school building project, and members of the design and construction team met with the City Council this week with what councillors and many in Revere have been waiting for: a side-by-side comparison of a new school on the existing site and one at Wonderland. Dakin stressed the need to move forward with a decision by the end of the month and said there needs to be agreement among the School Building Committee, the School Committee and the City Council. Members of the design team showed drawings of interesting and attractive buildings set in both sites. Both plans incorporate goals gathered during public forums and meetings with stakeholders. Both plans begin with a central learning courtyard that encourages community and showcases special programs like robotics and culinary arts. On both sites, four-story academic wings stretch out beyond the courtyard. The diff erences between the two plans are related to the sites and their diff erent benefi ts and challenges. The existing site has an aged culvert that could cost $40 million to replace. If it is damaged by construction, it would bring building to a halt and cost a diffi cult amount of money in lost time and missed deadlines. Also, because the space at the existing site is limited, only one crane can operate. That slows the progress of the project and pushes the opening of the school out to 2029. Demolition of the existing school and cleanup will also push out the opening of the building. Wonderland has some conservation reports that need to be completed, but there’s also a $100 million lawsuit from the former owners, who feel the city underpaid them for their prop781-286-8500 Friday, January 12, 2024 Haas Health & Wellness Center is open, but can it compete with Planet Fitness?

City offi cials, touting the milestone, highlighted the artifi cial turf fl oors, ADA upgrades, cardio equipment, new tech, and small group exercise rooms for classes, such as spin, yoga, barre, aerobics, aerobic dance, boot camps, self-defense and boxing. The center can accommodate 4,000 to 5,000 members and is aiming to be a magnet for anyone interested in a healthier lifestyle. It’s a far cry from last April when the City’s Chief Financial Offi cer Richard Viscay responded to the City Council’s request for information about the status of the center. Vizcay said the center had a $2.1 million start up budget supported by $30 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, saying the object was to use the one-time money to provide something that gives the city a perpetual benefi t. As of April, the city spent $471,000 on rent and lease payments and another $229,000 on equipment, insurance and upgrades. Viscay said the plan was to open last spring but unforeseen problems HEALTH | SEE Page 15 Warming Center move to City Hall basement deemed a success By Barbara Taormina L ast winter, there was an uproar when the city announced it would open an overnight warming center in the senior center for homeless people and anyone in need of a warm place to stay. Seniors were concerned about disruption of programs and the spread of covid and other illnesses. Some may recall Councillor-At-Large Marc Silvestri’s passionate response that all homeless people needed was a place to stay warm, to stay alive.

Sere photo highlights on page 6. (Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) ing Center closed for the season, Health and Hunman Services Director Lauren Buck called the emergency shelter a success. Buck said there was no spread of illness among Warming Center guests and staff or seniors, and no problems with trash, drugs or alcohol. Revere police were called to the Warming Center three times: once for a medical emergency and two other times for incidents that were quickly resolved. Still, Housing Families, the Malden-based housing advocacy organization which operates the Warming Center for Revere, advised the city to consider another site since the senior center site used two fl oors, which requires more staff and more funding. And that’s what the city has done. The emergency Warming Center is moving to the basement of City Hall. The Warming Center will take the space of the Water and Sewer Billing Department, which has moved to the new Public Works building. Some wondered if the move was being made to accommodate migrant families in need, but city councillors said migrant families were being housed at the city’s hotels. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky said the change will ease any anxiety seniors have about hosting the Warming Center in their center. “The mayor made the change,†said Novoselsky. “It was his call.†׉ Ú7cassandra://QwCrgTyzcpcGl9q74xYKjunWBv7bzZZbtCjzcnFepY8Í.Í`Ì°Í×e bø²a¥B2@Ìð×e bø²a¥B2@ÌïÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://PWVs5NJZUEpHv3l-cJbn4HQwYpCr_1Z5P-4C4vaD-FQζñÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://CsDtIU9h8bp8sYKKbsAiR4Jxb-LuqYbTknIpTw9TwFMͧéÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://UBxEkaJ7vtR5CrXh081JAaGiXldVSf5FnkQA4JQ6UAoÍ0CÍ`Ì°Í×e bù²a¥B2@Í ×˜šÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://M04EEcpjwfRHJa-LAtoWp0bsMGvaQgOoh_MQGfnrUykΧÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://n2dcZgNpJdIr3sMJc2U8Bh4gtPm9nTXHUi3JylARGAEÍ•YÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://7KywKTWk2AgBH6Mpe2uGOS1GH1VUdKMtzuWMk4SvXKYÍ.WÍ`Ì°Í×e bù²a¥B2@Í “× ×e bù²a¥B2@ÍÍÍYÍ«9×H»http://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM× × Ј× ×e bù²a¥B2@Íͬ̀Ìÿ9×HÚ mailto:lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net× × Ј× ×e bù²a¥B2@ÍͧÍtÍg9×H¼mailto:Info@advocatenews.net× × Ј׉EÚðPage 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 2024 APPRECIATION: Joe O’Donnell, one of the most successful business and real estate magnates in Mass. history, always cherished his roots He did so much, for so many, for so long: Everett native raised $500M-plus for cystic fi brosis, donated generously to Harvard, Malden Catholic & hometown By Steve Freker I t is said in ancient Greek history that Diogenes wandered the streets of Athens, circa 370 BC or so, in broad daylight with a lighted lantern, “searching for an honest man.†The philosopher was not successful in his lifelong crusade, it is recounted. Could the same be said for the following quest? Over the expanse of the past five decades-plus, fi nd us someone, particularly in the Everett-Malden region – and far beyond, who has not benefited from the seemingly limitless largesse of Joe O’Donnell. A bit of an exaggeration, perhaps, but really not far removed from the truth. What is also true is that every day O’Donnell spent on this earth, literally thousands and thousands of other people were living lives that were enhanced by his philanthropy, business acumen or “straight-talk†advice. Joe O’Donnell passed away too soon the other day, at the age of 79. Hope against hope that some gifted author will chronicle the amazing story of this man’s life, a guy who relished his roots as a “kid from Everett,†where he grew up in the 1950s. “Everett was a tough neighborhood in a tough city,†O’Donnell told the Harvard Gazette in a 2018 interview. “There were a lot of good people there, and if you acted like a jerk, someone for sure would kick your ass. It was a great educational experience. It made me tough.†He went to local schools until his high school years, when he earned a scholarship to Malden Catholic High School. His brother Dennis, for whom an adjacent baseball fi eld is named, also attended the school, with both brothers having memorable athletic careers. The true fairy tale of the “kid from Everett†continued when he went on to attend Harvard. O’Donnell excelled as a student and an athlete at Harvard. He was a terrifi c player on both the football and baseball teams. He earned six varsity letters, and in his senior year he captained the baseball team. To show his gratitude to the baseball program, in 1995 he donated $2.5 million to endow the baseball coach’s position. Harvard’s baseball field bears O’Donnell’s name. In 2012, O’Donnell and his wife donated $30 million to the University. “It’s payback,†O’Donnell said in the Gazette interview. “I got Celebrating Our 52nd Year Dan - 1972 We Sell Cigars & Accessories!

For decades, perhaps the school’s most well-known alumnus has provided tens of millions of dollars of targeted donations to make sure what adds up to hundreds of families and thousands of students thrive at the tuition-based parochial school.

O’Donnell’s crowning achievement in his philanthropic eff orts was the formation of U.S. President George W. Bush, a former classmate with whom he shared a love of baseball, O’Donnell was Bush’s top fundraiser in the Eastern United States through two campaigns. He was an unoffi cial advisor to him and other Presidents as well as numerous governors, mayors and business giants.

The 630 Salem St. building, which is part of Malden Housing Authority, is home to older adults and people with disabilities. The building has collaborated with MVRCS for about a decade, but due to COVID-19, the holiday party was on hiatus. Everyone was excited for the celebration to return in 2023! Students and staff arrived in the afternoon to set up the Common Room and make sure everything was looking festive. The evening got underway with an elaborate holiday meal presented by the school. The MVRCS Band – guided by Music Director Robert Taylor – led a program of holiday songs complete with the sounds of real jingle bells. The school Chorus lent their vocal talents, inspiring everyone to sing along. The school also held lottery-style giveaways, offering numerous scratch tickets, gift cards and fl ower bouquets as prizes. MVRCS Director Alexander Dan stepped in as emcee for the drawings. Students helped with the drawings and prize selection and even provided live translation for Chinese-speaking residents. Residents had a wonderful time at the event and it put everyone in a joyous mood for the holidays. MVES would like to thank the school and Malden Housing Authority for making the event so special.

They are 3-5 on the season and 2-4 in the Greater Boston League after eight games. The team fell to Malden, 53-36, and beat Everett in an upset, 44-41. The Patriots traveled to Malden last Tuesday night to play the Golden Tornadoes back-to-back after hosting and defeating them in the Patriot Holiday Tournament just fi ve days before. The Malden defense was intense from the start. Senior center Amir Yamani, junior guard Josh Mercado (seven points, fi ve steals) and junior guard Ethan Day got Revere going in the early going, but Malden led, 11-8, at the end of the fi rst frame. The second quarter was more of the same as Malden pressured Revere (24 turnovers) and made it tough on the visitors to score. Senior co-captain Andrew Leone (four points, eight rebounds) and senior co-captain Luke Ellis drained a 3-pointer from the wing to get the Patriots’ off ense going. Senior forward Ryan El Babor (four points, two blocks) had a nice drive to the basket, and Day had a fl oater in the lane to keep Revere close, but the Patriots still trailed, 25-19, at halftime. Revere came out in the second half and made some adjustments to try to off set the aggressive Malden defense. Junior forward Erick Mayorga had an off ensive rebound and putback; Mercado hit a corner 3-pointer and Day (14 points, fi ve rebounds) had a basket plus a foul and two baseline fi nishes to pull Revere close. However, Malden held on to a twopoint lead, 33-31, heading to the fi nal quarter. The fourth quarter was all Malden, with Revere again struggling. It led to turnovers and transition baskets for the Golden Tornadoes. Revere sophomore forward Sean Burnett made two free throws; El Babor had a putback and Day made a free throw. But the Malden shooting was lights out late in the game. “We give Malden a lot of credit,†Revere coach David Leary said. “They came out and were the aggressor from the opening tip. They had 22 off ensive rebounds and made us turn it over all night. We won’t win a lot of games this year allowing stats like that. Just need to get back to work and continue to try to improve. We can’t dwell on this.†Revere bounced back huge with a home game against the Crimson Tide of Everett, which came into the game at 4-0 in the league. “The start of the game did not go well as Everett jumped out to a 6-0 lead from their pressure defense and Revere turnovers,†Leary said. Mayorga (four points, fi ve rebounds) made an elbow jump shot. Burnett (four points, four rebounds, two blocks) had a fast break layup. El Babor (four points, four rebounds) had a nice layup through traffic and Day scored twice inside to give Revere a 10-8 lead to end the fi rst quarter. The Revere defense was trapping Everett all over in the halfcourt, and they also got an off ensive lift from Yamani (four points, eight rebounds). El Babor had a putback, and Day had two baskets and a free throw and Revere led, 21-19, at halftime. The fi rst few minutes of the third quarter was all Revere. The home team came out fl ying with Mercado (three points, four assists, three steals) nailing a 3-pointer from the wing. Burnett had an off ensive rebound tip-in, and Day had a nice spin move and layup to extend the Revere lead to 29-20 with 3:42 remaining in the quarter. Revere junior point guard Avi Lung (nine points, fi ve assists and fi ve steals) made a nice drive to the hoop and a few possessions later sank two free throws, giving the Patriots a 33-26 lead heading into the fi nal quarter. The bigger Everett team came out with a clear focus to get the ball inside to start the fourth quarter and got a few layups and free throws to tighten things up. The Tide went on a 10-2 run to take the lead 36-35 midway through the fi nal quarter. Revere, after a timeout by Coach Leary, relied heavily on their juniors to regain the lead. Day (16 points, fi ve rebounds) made two tough fl oaters over Everett defenders. Lung drained a three-pointer from the top, and Mayorga hit a baseline jumper to put the Patriots up four with 1:35 remaining. Everett would then get a basket to make it a one-possession game. After a Revere miss, Everett looked for the equalizer, but Lung jumped the passing lane for a steal and a layup and the Patriots held on for victory. “We really challenged these guys the last two practices to get back to basics and be tougher on the boards and 50/50 balls,†Leary said. “We defi nitely played with a ton of energy and passion, and it showed. We stayed together after losing the lead and showed a lot of poise down the stretch, it was a good team win.†Revere track reaches new heights Senior Ashley Chandler set a school record in the weight throw with a toss of 20-10 at the Marathon Sports Invitational at the TRACK at New Balance on Sunday. “No other RHS female had ever competed in this event before this year so it’s great to see Ashley try and succeed at it,†Revere girls track coach Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli said. At the MSTCA Freshman/Sophomore Meet at the Reggie Lewis Center, Revere saw some excellent times from three of its sophomores. Olivia Rupp ran a 6:02.86 in the mile, which is only.26 seconds off of her lifetime personal best. Gemma Stamatopolous ran a 1:53.07 in the 600-meter, inching closer to that sub-1:50 goal. Danni Hope Randall ran a 48.8 in the 300-meter. Revere was scheduled for Malden and Lynn Classical on Wednesday, Jan. 10 at Reggie Lewis. ׉ Ú7cassandra://DjGnjWnS5aktaewH-_y5uo2u6M1mgaQpKehBzSJ1g4cÍ+³Í`Ì°Í×e bø²a¥B2@Ìö×e bø²a¥B2@ÌõÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://9iNpX-rpatxbY_e21H1c7cysF45-Pb67DD27Gqv74yYÎŒðÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://TxpD52xmo1KwRGCa9AcHNHyzEYQ5M0DDv1oVtx_5UyYÍ™–Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://ErciyvTH56e5Kwa68WgaYPKaCXN2X_3snlcZc0tvYo8Í/GÍ`Ì°Í×e bû²a¥B2@ÍטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://yW59PaLZPaXrdT-mFqIZH-D3GQsk26DeFi3jRaQGbKIÎñPÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://fM9Utnh0aQKimcMeH9cLuPnHsY3GYVcH6tB1VVSf4BA͈óÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://xU9bJ_EOKmhgAKcPUtJfqhdTzraxQtRneUpDLIn136sÍ&DÍ`Ì°Í×e bû²a¥B2@Í’× ×e bû²a¥B2@Í#Í 4ÍrÌà9×H¶http://fema.gov/public× × Ј× ×e bû²a¥B2@Í"Í 4͵ÌÑ9×HÚ"http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4496.× × Ј׉EÚ gPage 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 2024 Need a hall for your special event?

The new policy was approved on December 21, 2023, by the Revere Traffi c Commission following a public hearing. Beginning February 1, 2024, EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) drivers charging at City-owned EV charging stations will pay a fl at rate of $2.50 per hour for up to four hours while the vehicle is plugged into the charging station. The flat rate per hour fee will be adjusted quarterly to refl ect the seasonal utility rates and will help the City cover its costs for providing this service. In addition to the fl at rate fee, a parking penalty of $20.00 has been approved for EV drivers charging for over four hours, EV drivers not actively charging and for non-EV’s parked in designated EV parking spots. The fee table below illustrates the EV Charging Payment and Penalty Structure. City of Revere EV Utility & Parking Penalty Schedule EV-PHEV Non-EV-PHEV Utility Fee Over-Stay Fee Parking/NonCharging Penalty* Flat Rate per hour up to four hours $20.00 after four hours N/A N/A $20.00 $20.00 *A $20.00 parking penalty will be assigned to EV, PHEV and non-EV-PHEV that are parked in a parking bay designated for EV-PHEV CHARGING but not actively charging their vehicles. The City of Revere owns seven Level 2 EV Charging Stations located in the parking lots at Revere City Hall, the Hill School-Harry Dello Russo Stadium and the Shirley Avenue Municipal lot. The city plans to install additional EV Stations in the future, based on recommendations from a regional Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) expansion study underway in Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop. The City’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program is co-managed by the Department of Planning & Community Development, the Parking Department and the Parking Advisory Committee. The fl at rate per hour fee will help the City off set utility companies’ supply chargCOVID | FROM Page 4 tensive care units, emergency departments, respiratory clinics, pharmacies and laboratories. “FEMA is pleased to be able to assist Cambridge Health Alliance with these costs,†said FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator Lori Ehrlich. “Reimbursing state, county, and municipal governments – as well es, maintain existing equipment and fund additional EV equipment. The Parking Advisory Committee will monitor the pricing structure for the Cityowned EV Charging Stations and will recommend changes to the pricing as needed. In 2020, the City of Revere installed EV Charging Stations inside of municipal lots along Broadway and Shirley Avenue to promote economic development and green transportation. In the past three years, the city has seen an increase in ownership of EVs among its residents and employees. Usage data from 2022 to 2023 among EV owners plugging into the Cityas eligible non-profi ts and tribal entities – for the costs incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic is an important part of our nation’s ongoing recovery.†So far, FEMA has provided more than $2.6 billion in Public Assistance grants to Massachusetts to reimburse the Commonwealth for pandemic-related expenses. To learn more about the COVID-19 response in Masowned stations showed a 50% increase in use from 2022 to 2023. In 2023 the program provided 106.05 MWh to EV drivers, replacing nearly 2,9 00 gallons of gasoline – equivalent to 25.8 metric tons in greenhouse gas emissions. “We will continue to aggressively pursue opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint,†said Mayor Patrick Keefe. “That includes the installation and maintenance of a network of public EV Charging Stations. Charging a fee for these stations will allow the City to recoup the costs of providing this service, so we can continue to off er EV charging to the general public.†sachusetts, please visit https:// www.fema.gov/disaster/4496.

T By Dom Nicastro he Revere High School girls’ basketball team opened up the New Year much like it did most of last month: winning. Nothing’s perfect, but the team has managed a winning record of 7-3 halfway through the season. The Patriots picked up two Greater Boston League victories this week and last and improved to 6-1 in the league. The team beat Everett, 59-36. It had great ball movement and selfl ess play, according to Revere coach Ariana Rivera. Alisha Jean led the team with a monster game: 22 points, 12 rebounds and fi ve steals. Shayna Smith added 14 points, six rebounds and four steals, and Belma Velic added 10 points and nine boards for the Patriots. Revere also topped Somerville, 42-23. Senior Haley Belloise led with 15 points, followed by junior Velic with 12 points. Belma Velic goes up for a shot during the Patriots Tuesday night match up with nearby Somerville. Shayna Smith the ball for Revere defends off a player from Somerville. The Revere Advocate caught up with Coach Rivera for a Q&A at this midway point of the season: What do you like particularly and why about the team’s recent play? Our defense game is a huge strength for us. We have more length this season, which helps a lot on the boards and out on the perimeter. Our change in tempo has been a huge asset to our team’s success the past few games. At the beginning of the season, we struggled with our tempo and having a “slow start†to most of our early games. We have emphasized the importance of defense leading to our off ense and overall, our off ensive tempo. Who in particular would you say has Revere’s Shayna Smith with the shot attempt. Nisrin Sekkat with the ball, looks up court as player moves in to guard her. shown great improvement and how so throughout the early season? I wouldn’t say that any one particular player stands out to me as most improved. As mentioned above, we struggled at the beginning of the season to fi nd our off ensive fl ow. Over the last couple of weeks as a coaching staff , we have emphasized the importance of players’ roles and being selfl ess with the ball. This, along with working on individual players’ basketball IQ, has been our turning point this season. We have our best games when we share the basketball. What areas can the team polish and how so? If you asked me this a few weeks ago, it would have been our free throw percentage, but that has increased, thankfully (56%). I would say an area we can polish as a team would be our average turnovers per game. Usually, when we keep our turnovers as a team to under 12, we see the results we want. Right now, we average about 17 turnovers per game, and we would like to see that more around 10-12. What have you noticed/liked from your captains and why? I like that our four captains bring their own spark to the team. We have Bella Stamatopoulos (senior) and Alisha Jean (senior), who are our more vocal captains. Alisha is not afraid to lead by example on the court and brings the hype with her hustle plays. Bella tends to be more vocal in the sense of holding players accountable on and off the court. She is always making sure people are doing the right thing and are where they need to be. Haley Belloise (senior) brings positive energy and organization to our team as a captain. We like to call her “the Court General†because she does a great job of getting players to the spots they need to be off ensively. Belma Velic (Junior) brings her consistent and composed energy to the team. She is the captain players look to for composure in highstrung moments. How are the competitive dynamics of the Greater Boston League shaping up in this early part of the season? As a coaching staff , we preach the dynamic of the GBL and that the team who shows up to play on any given day, will be the team that wins. The GBL is always competitive, which makes league play something to look forward to. We are currently 6-1 in the GBL, with second-round GBL play right around the corner. ׉ Ú7cassandra://x90phJaTARUk0laFIY8R3D6mRx86GOzoOD-F-P6tCogÍ.ÒÍ`Ì°Í×e bø²a¥B2@Ìú×e bø²a¥B2@ÌùÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://-_keaGM9wGcP6_JlA3S6pbmSH-s7kVGIFzcmQGGd7ocÎ7>Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://Jk_T6QX4OSLY5Ct0_XkdnvsWXHOnYiV0bURJCBRVjWsÍ~0Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://V4R7jhz0lodmba9XqiGrccDnlIRGjkOCbMx3YgxxrLAÍ*#Í`Ì°Í×e bû²a¥B2@Í'טšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://8iVGhOuluB0H9WmPIiULJ1QjjhyROld74m9HtTT_FEAÎÜiÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://ousLSgw1RYBdaiS1PPLZ66cn9YDBdG-b8N7UjN5Ny98Í1Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://yVRN6xvzkbSCWUkMS59m64oDrAa1d67eewA_p4DQdVoÍ( Í`Ì°Í×e bü²a¥B2@Í(׉EÚØPage 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 2024 Honoring a Revere Icon in Youth Hockey, Joseph DeSantis Anyone who has put on a pair of ice skates over the past 40-plus years as a young hockey player will know the name of Joe DeSantis.

Reps from Consigli, the company hired to build the school, said that when they take possession of the site there will be no parking available for teachers or students. Joe Luen, a retired construction executive who volunteers his time and expertise to help with nonprofit and municipal building projects, told councillors that building at the existing site would cause signifi cant disruption to the neighborhood. And the noise, traffi c and glut of construction vehicles will be at the site for three to fi ve years. Luen also pointed out that building on the existing site would disrupt the city’s capital planning by leaving Revere with no space for a middle school and no ability to solve overcrowding at elementary schools. Although concerns about costs triggered the council’s request for a feasibility study for a new school on the existing site, there wasn’t much talk about money this week. City CFO Richard Viscay and Mayor Patrick Keefe both briefly mentioned a $17 million annual cost to the city but no specifi cs on where the money would come from. Viscay did say the administration had been making the case for assistance to state offi cials who are well aware of the stress new school buildings put on municipal budgets. There was, however, a slide in the presentation that showed a series of fi nancial fi gures for each project. The total construction cost for a new school at Wonderland was listed as $522,717,901 with a $234,117,356 reimbursement from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and $288,600,545 to be paid by Revere. This did not include a possible $100 million judgement in the eminent domain lawsuit. Building at the existing site was estimated at $550,295,868 with a $239,461,932 reimbursement and a $310,833,936 share of the bill for Revere. Keefe and veteran city councillors were sympathetic to the six new council members who must make a decision on the school by the end of the month without the benefit of three years of debate and discussion. “You’re faced with this fork in the road and a decision on which direction we take,†said Keefe, who has been a supporter of the Wonderland site. “I’ll tell you how I got there,†said Keefe. “I listened to the experts.†Keefe conceded that last year the cost of building at Wonderland was troubling but added that the favorable change in reimbursements from the MSBA had alleviated those concerns. Keefe told new councillors that staff and officials will be available over the next couple weeks to answer any of their questions. “I want you to make the best decision,†Keefe told them.

Getting up to speed on their fi nances, insurance policies, long-term care plans and other information is important because some day you might have to help them handle their fi nancial aff airs or care, or execute their estate plan after they die. Without this information, your job becomes much more diffi cult. Here are some tips that can help. Have the Conversation If you’re uncomfortable talking to your parents about this, use this column as a prompt or see TheConversationProject.org, which off ers free guides that can help you kick-start these discussions. It’s also a good idea to get all your siblings involved too. This can help you head off any possible hard feelings, plus, with others involved, your parents will know everyone is concerned. When you talk with your parents, you’ll need to collect some information, find out where they keep key documents and how they want certain things handled when they die or if they become incapacitated. Here’s a checklist of areas to focus on. PERSONAL INFORMATION • Contacts: Make a list of names and phone numbers of your parent’s doctors, lawyer, accountant, broker, tax preparer, insurance agent, etc. • Medical information: Make a copy of their medical history and a list of medications they take. • Personal documents: Find out where they keep their Social Security card, marriage license, military discharge papers, etc. • Secured places: Make a list of places they keep under lock and key such as safe deposit boxes, safe combination, security alarms, etc. • Digital assets: Make a list of their digital assets – everything from social media accounts to online banking. It should include usernames and passwords. • Pets: If they have a pet, what are their instructions for the animal’s care? • End of life: What are their wishes for organ or body donation, and their funeral instructions? If they’ve made pre-arrangements with a funeral home, get a copy of the agreement. LEGAL DOCUMENTS • Will: Do they have an updated will or trust, and where is it located? • Power of attorney: Do they have a power of attorney document that names someone to handle their fi nancial matters if they become incapacitated? • Advance directives: Do they have a living will and a medical power of attorney that spells out their wishes regarding their end-of-life medical treatment? If they don’t have these documents prepared, now’s the time to make them. FINANCIAL RECORDS • Financial accounts: Make a list of their bank accounts, brokerage and mutual fund accounts, and any other fi nancial assets they have. • Debts and liabilities: Make a list of any loans, leases or debts they have – mortgages owed, car loans, student loans, medical bills, credit card debts. Also, make a list of all credit and charge cards, including the card numbers and contact information. • Company benefi ts: Make a list of any retirement plans, pensions or benefi ts from their former employers including the contact information of the benefi ts administrator. • Insurance: Make a list of the insurance policies they have (life, long-term care, home, auto, Medicare, etc.) including the policy numbers, agents and phone numbers. • Property: Make a list of the real estate, vehicles or other properties they own, rent or lease and where they keep the deeds, titles and loan or lease agreements. • Taxes: Find out where they keep copies of past year’s tax returns. You’re probably not going to get all this fi gured out in one gathering, so it’s important to keep the conversation going to ensure your parent’s wishes will be accurately executed.

The spotlight is on two high school seniors, Janiydaleese and Valerie, who are currently involved in internships. Joining the discussion are Meghann Gregorowicz, the internship coordinator for RHS, and Chamber Treasurer Marta HEALTH | FROM Page 1 with the building caused delays. “Have we been as successful as we want to be? We certainly have not,†he said. Several councillors have been critical of the project because the city is renting a building that needed extensive updates. But City Council President Anthony Cogliandro said there were specifi c requirements and limitations attached to ARPA funding. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky said he recalls Amazon making a significant donation to help launch the Haas Center. “It’s been fully funded in the hope that it will become a sustainable business,†said Cogliandro. And a three-tier membership fee structure is expected to keep the center running. Wellness Center Manager Haley Hanton said membership is on a steady climb. “Every night by six o’clock, it’s packed,†she said, adding that the Haas Center has top-of-the-line Keiser equipment that provides a healthy way to work out. According to the city’s website, the Wellness Center offers three memberships, starting at $20 per month; the second membership, the Pro, at $30 per month; and the third, the Pro Plus, at $40 per month. The Basic membership off ers a six-month contract with a $39 cancellation fee; and the othFlores, who is also involved in the internship program. Following this, Erica and Pat delve into an interview with the owners of Claremont Insurance Agency, Julia Bisconti and Cynthia Graff. They share the story of how they established their business and refl ect on the rich history of their grandfather, the pioneer who laid the foundation for the agency many years ago. This episode is also posted to RTV’s YouTube page.

Local chef and registered dietician Victoria Fabbo guides you through healthy eating choices in an informational episode. Victoria usually leads a step-by-step tutorial cooking show in the kitchen studio, so this newest episode is a little diff erent and focuses on portion control, healthy ingredients in all food groups and recipe ideas.

The Haas Center is competing with two Planet Fitness franchises, one located almost next door on 270 Charger St. and the other on American Legion Highway across from the former Wonderland dog track. Planet Fitness off ers a Classic $10 per month membership and a PF Black Card membership for $24.99 per month, both by contract. “It’s early. Hopefully, more members will join; hopefully, city employees,†said Novoselsky, adding that he was pleased at the decision to name the center after former Mayor Robert Haas, Jr. The Wellness Center was formerly Greater Boston Fitness but had closed due to the pandemic in 2020. The owners had a tough time reopening, as did many independently owned gyms, following the government’s forced shut down. Currently, Teamworks soccer facility, located in the rear of the Hass Wellness Center, remains open and has been off ering leagues and private rentals for the last 20 years, according to its website. Back in the 1970’s the site was originally a hockey rink called Skater’s World before it closed and reopened years later as a fi tness center. Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

It’s like a paper route but Bob took preorders from neighbors and delivered fresh bagels every Sunday morning. THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ votes from the week of January 1-5. There were no roll calls in the House last week. WHEELCHAIR WARRANTY AND REPAIRS (S 2541) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would strengthen consumer protections for wheelchair users. Current state law does not set any timeline for assessing repairs, does not require dealers to off er wheelchairs on loan within a fi xed time period and only requires customized wheelchairs to come with express warranties. Provisions of the bill include requiring that wheelchair manufacturers, lessors and dealers provide customers with written notifi cation of the warranty for their wheelchairs; increasing the minimum duration for any warranty from one year to two years; mandating that if an in-warranty wheelchair stops functioning, manufacturers, lessors and dealers must assess the wheelchair within three days, provide a temporary wheelchair on loan within four days and cover any other costs to the user; and authorizing the attorney general and consumers to bring legal actions against any violation of provisions protecting wheelchair users from unfair and deceptive business practices relating to warranty-fulfi llment. Supporters said wheelchair repairs pose substantial problems for people with physical disabilities. They noted that it is not uncommon for those who use wheelchairs to wait for weeks for repairs. This leaves these individuals stranded at home and unable to go to work, school, medical appointments, grocery shopping or elsewhere. This creates a crisis for individuals and families and often exacerbates other health conditions.

McKINNON’S EVERETT - 620 Broadway, Everett Scan Cell Phone Here For More Information! within a fi xed time period. “Wheelchair users in Massachusetts with broken chairs can wait weeks or months for repairs because the law today provides inadequate consumer protections in a consolidated, uncompetitive market,†said sponsor Sen. John Cronin (D-Fitchburg). “This bill allows wheelchair users to regain their mobility, their independence and their dignity by requiring timely repair service.†“Today the Senate took action to give individuals who use wheelchairs the protections they deserve,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “If a wheelchair breaks down, a user should be able to get it fi xed and get back to their daily life as soon as possible, and the commonwealth of Massachusetts should have every user’s back.†“I’m delighted the Senate took the lead on this highly empowering legislation,†said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Not only does this bill provide uniformity with neighboring states on wheelchair warranties, but it eff ectively expedites repair time and mandates a solid reimbursement safety net. It’s a big win for wheelchair users across the commonwealth.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes AUTISM AND POLICE (S 2542) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill designed to improve interactions between police offi cers and persons with autism spectrum disorder during traffi c stops. The measure, dubbed the “Blue Envelope†Bill†would create a voluntary program giving people with the disorder the option to be given a special blue envelope that holds the person’s driver’s license, vehicle registration and insurance cards. On the outside of the envelope there would be specifi c instructions for police offi cers on the driver’s diagnosis, impairments, triggers, emergency contact information and best practices for communicating. The bill is designed to enable the driver to quickly and easily hand the envelope to a police offi cer during a traffi c stop. “The Blue Envelope Bill will make our commonwealth a safer place for people who are neuro-diverse,†said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (DNorthampton). “It moves us closer to equal opportunity and access for people of all abilities.†“The Blue Envelope Bill would be a game changer for our family and for so many Massachusetts residents,†said Ilyse Levine-Kanji, an Executive Committee member of Advocates for Autism of Massachusetts. “Like many people with autism, my 25-year-old son Sam does not have any physical characteristics that indicate he has autism.†Levine-Kanji continued, “In a stressful situation, where split second decisions must be made, I’m relieved that a police offi cer could see a blue envelope in Sam’s car and immediately understand that any unusual behavior or speech pattern is a result of autism. Thus, this bill could dramatically decrease the possibility of a tragic misunderstanding.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes LEGALIZE FENTANYL TEST STRIPS (S 2543) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House legislation that would legalize the sale, possession and distribution of fentanyl test strips as well as other testing equipment used to identify fentanyl in a drug. The measure includes a “Good Samaritan†provision that exempts from liability “any person who, in good faith provides, administers or utilizes fentanyl test strips or any testing equipment or devices solely used, intended for use or designed to be used to determine whether a substance contains fentanyl or its analogues.†Supporters said that fentanyl test strips help prevent overdoses by enabling drug users to determine whether a substance contains fentanyl, the opioid that was present in 93 percent of fatal overdoses in the fi rst three months of 2023. They said that under current law fentanyl test strips are considered drug paraphernalia – causing police departments and harm reduction organizations that are interested in distributing them to be concerned that the distribution would subject them to criminal or civil liability. “The idea for this bill came to me from Newton Police Chief John Carmichael,†said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “The department wanted to distribute fentanyl test strips to help prevent overdoses, but they discovered that state law stood in the way of them doing so. As the fentanyl crisis has worsened across the country, a majority of states have already moved to legalize these affordable, lifesaving test strips.

In case you missed it, the Robert J. Haas Jr. Health & Wellness Center recently opened on Charger Street. RevereTV was able to cover the ribbon-cutting ceremony last week, and that is the same. By passing this bill, we will empower police departments and community organizations to distribute fentanyl test strips and save lives.†“We know two things in Massachusetts as facts: opioids take far too many lives in our state and fentanyl test strips save them,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (DAshland). “By voting to legalize fentanyl test strips, the Senate is taking a commonsense action step to save lives in our state—and we know it works.†“I am proud to report out this bill from the Judiciary Committee,†said Sen. Jamie Eldridge(D-Acton), the Senate chair of the Judiciary Committee. “It represents a commonsense criminal justice reform that will better address substance use challenges.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ID FOR LIQUOR PURCHASES (H 4131) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would allow alcohol-serving establishments to accept all out-of-state motor vehicle licenses and Global Entry cards issued by the United States Customs and Border Protection offi ce, as valid proof of age and identifi cation. “As a state that welcomes visitors from across the country to enjoy our museums, sporting events, tourism attractions and other venues, this is a vitally important economic measure that takes the burden off of our small businesses and allows out-of-state visitors to enjoy a drink if they choose,†said House sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (DDedham). “This bill will go a long way in supporting the commonwealth’s businesses as they continue to recover from the pandemic and compete with surrounding states.†“A constituent brought the issue to me where she couldn’t purchase alcohol with a well vetted international identification document, and it seemed like an issue where we needed to update the law to make sure it doesn’t stand in the way of everyday commerce,†said Senate sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (DSomerville).

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 DATE PRICE 12.28.23 495000 12.26.23 310000 meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of January 1-5, the House met for a total of 44 minutes and the Senate met for a total of two hours and fi ve minutes. Mon. Jan. 1 No House session No Senate session Tues.
