Revere deserves better from Massachusetts Water
Resources Authority
By Alexander Rhalimi
I
n the upcoming Revere City
Council elections, one candidate
stands out as a potential
advocate for change: Alexander
Rhalimi. As a candidate for
Revere Councillor at Large, Rhalimi
has demonstrated a deep
commitment to addressing a
critical issue that aff ects every
resident: the Massachusetts
Water Resources Authority's
(MWRA) management of water
resources.

ter since there is plenty of room
available there.
City Council President Pro
Tempore Joanne McKenna said
she received a call from the
emergency director last week
that a number of people were
brought and just left in Revere
and neighboring communities.
“The state dropped the ball, the
federal government dropped
the ball, they didn’t communicate
with us that those people
were here,” said McKenna.
“These people had nothing,”
continued McKenna, who explained
that a program was
started to provide diapers and
other personal hygiene supplies
to the migrants.
But Mckenna seemed most
concerned about the tone of
conversation taking place on social
media about the infl ux. “We
are people, we are all human
beings. We’re all the same,” said
McKenna, adding that she was
troubled by the hatred spewing
on Facebook about the migrants.
“I
just don’t understand it,” she
said. “Revere has always been
there for everybody. We have to
love one another. Let’s step up,
Revere and help these people.”
Chris 2023
For far too long, Revere has
been subject to the ineffi ciencies
and shortcomings of the
MWRA's water management
practices. Residents have experienced
water quality issues,
high bills, and a lack of transparency
in decision-making. Alexander
Rhalimi’s campaign highlights
the urgent need for reform
in how the MWRA operates,
emphasizing the importance
of clean, accessible, and
aff ordable water for all.
Rhalimi’s comprehensive approach
to tackling these issues
showcases his dedication to ensuring
that Revere receives the
treatment it deserves. His proposals
include advocating for
increased community involvement
in water resource decisions,
pushing for greater oversight
of the MWRA’s actions, and
championing initiatives to improve
water infrastructure.
Revere deserves a leader who
will actively engage with the
MWRA to secure fair water rates,
safe drinking water, and eff ective
water resource management.
Alexander Rhalimi’s platform
aligns with the aspirations
of Revere’s residents, promising
a more transparent, responsive,
and accountable MWRA. By
electing Rhalimi as Councillor
at Large, Revere can take a signifi
cant step towards holding
the MWRA accountable for its
actions and ensuring that residents
receive the high-quality
water services they deserve.
In this pivotal election, Revere
has the opportunity to demand
better from the MWRA and secure
a brighter, healthier future
for all. Alexander Rhalimi’s candidacy
off ers a ray of hope and a
chance for meaningful change.
It’s time for Revere to seize this
opportunity and vote for the
candidate who will prioritize
the city’s water resources and
the well-being of its residents.

is a candidate for Councillor-at-Large.

~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~
I believe there is
only one candidate for the job
Dear Friends and fellow Revere
voters,
On September 19th
the city will
go to the polls to vote in Revere’s
Primary Election for Mayor. Over
the past few months, I’ve received
several emails and texts asking
me who I believe is the most qualifi
ed candidate. I believe there is
only one candidate with the experience
and temperament for
the job, Dan Rizzo.
Dan’s fi rst tenure as mayor was
met with some extreme adversities.
The fi rst ever tornado that
devastated many of our neighbors’
homes. A winter that paralyzed
not just Revere, but the
entire state. And of course, the
missed opportunity to host one
of the most successful casinos
on the east coast. Yet, through
all these adversities Mayor Rizzo
maintained his composure,
he understood the struggles we
were going through and rose to
the challenges. In essence, he did
the job that was expected of him,
and he did it well. Unfortunately,
during this time, there were people
lurking in the weeds looking
to take advantage of the situation
while Mayor Rizzo was focused
on restoring harmony to
our city. It quickly became apparent
that these people lurking
in the weeds, waiting for an
opportunity to strike, were only
concerned with their own interests
and agenda. Something that
over the last administration became
clearly obvious. Once they
accomplished their goals, they
abruptly left Revere for other personal
opportunities, leaving Revere
in disarray.
~ POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT ~
The Greater Boston Labor
Council endorses Alexander
Rhalimi for Revere City
Council at Large
R
epresenting more than
100,000 hardworking families,
24 cities and towns, and
dozens of affi liated unions, the
Greater Boston Labor Council
released a statement endorsing
Alexander Rhalimi for Revere
City Council at Large.
Darlene Lombos, chief offi cer
and Executive Secretary of the
Council released this statement:
“I am pleased to inform you
that the Greater Boston Labor
Council has endorsed your candidacy
for Revere City Council
at Large. Thank you for engaging
in our endorsement process
and for pledging to fi ght together
for our communities.”
In Alexander Rhalimi, we fi nd
a candidate who isn’t just running
for offi ce, but running to
uplift our community. His diverse
policy platform reflects
his unwavering dedication to
a Revere that is inclusive, prosperous,
and responsive to the
evolving needs of its diverse
residents. As we stand at the
crossroads of our city’s future,
let us choose a leader who will
guide us toward progress and
unity. Let us choose Alexander
Rhalimi for Revere Councillor
at Large.

for Councillor at Large, Email:

During his tenure as mayor,
Dan Rizzo negotiated positive
commercial development like
Market Basket while others were
burdening our city with apartment
buildings and condominiums
– thousands of them. This
type of development only benefi
tted the developers and not
the residents of Revere. While
there is very little we can do to
change these facts now, we can
strive to get Revere back-ontrack.
To do this we need to restore
strong qualifi ed and compassionate
leadership. I believe
that starts with re-electing Dan
Rizzo as Mayor of Revere.
To that end, I ask that you
please consider voting for Dan
Rizzo in the September primary
and again in the November General
Election. Thank you for your
time, understanding and most
importantly, your consideration.
Revere needs our help now.
Respectfully,
Richard Ireton

Delivering The New High School In A Fiscally
Responsible Way: The Facts And The Truth
By Gerry Visconti
W
ithout question, a new high
school is long overdue. Every
member of the City Council,
our students, teachers, administrators
can all agree. It’s one of
the most urgent issues this election.
The decisions we make and
the resources we commit during
the next administration will
impact citizens of Revere for decades
to come.
We all want the best facilities
we can provide for our children’s
education, preparing them for
the opportunities of the future,
which is why it’s critical to follow
a process as transparent and accurate
as possible with respect
to the risks, funding, and timeline
of this project.
The Wonderland site was ultimately
voted down because
of ballooning costs and lack of
transparency.
At the debate, Councillor
Keefe’s poorly contrived, fi nger
pointing tirade “You’re gonna
kill these kids!” and his baseless
statement that Wonderland is
now inevitably “slated for more
residential development” were
rightfully called out and rebuff ed
by EVERY other candidate on the
stage. Voters came to hear an
adult conversation on serious
issues. This is an undertaking of
unprecedented size and scope
for the city.
“Don’t let the facts get in the
way of the truth?”
It’s the same old willful ignorance
of the previous administration’s
failed agenda – NO MATTER
THE COST.
Here are the facts and the
truth:
Before the council voted on
eminent domain takeover of
Wonderland, all-in construction
costs were estimated at $380 million.
After that vote, construction
costs increased signifi cantly to
$500 million, not including the
initial $30 million for the takeover,
and additional costs of litigation
up to $100 million to the
taxpayers of Revere.
At over half a billion, WITH A B,
plus a hundred million in litigation,
The Wonderland site, to coin
a phrase, amounted to Pay Now,
Pay Later, and Keep on Paying.
The council was told we could
NOT rule out a Proposition 21/2
Override or a debt exclusion at
the same time we were building
on our largest remaining redevelopment
site, eliminating millions
in potential commercial tax
revenue; tax revenue we need to
help pay for the largest project in
the city’s history.
When the facts change, responsible
and capable leadership
adapts, and changes course.
But the previous administration
continued to push the false
narrative that a central middle
school could be completed at
the existing site within a year
of the new high school opening.
That was a lie. Today, we’re
told it could take between 7
and 10 years. By then, the building
would need signifi cant upgrades,
even further expanding
our unserviceable debt.
There are clearly distinctions
in our mayoral candidates’ qualifi
cations and abilities to take on
the complex challenges facing
the city. I’m the only candidate
drawing upon a 30-year career
in Finance. I’m currently serving
as Chair of Ways and Means with
a record of fi scal responsibility,
transparency, and accountability.
I’ve also served on the School
Committee, advocating for our
children, our teachers, and administrators.
I understand the urgency,
and their concerns, from
their perspective.
The construction of a new high
school is a project of paramount
importance to our community,
and to our future. It’s our responsibility
to provide the best solution
for our children, while protecting
the long-term fi nances
of the city. As Mayor, I will work
closely with my administration,
committed to delivering the facilities
our students deserve in a
fi scally responsible way.
right.
We CAN, and we WILL, get it
(Editor’s Note: Gerry Visconti is
a Councillor-at-Large and candidate
for Mayor.)

~ ELECTION 2023 ~
Morabito’s run for mayor has roots in customer service
By Barbara Taormina
C
ouncillor-at-Large Steve
Morabito chose not to seek
a sixth term on the City Council
and instead he joined the
four-way mayoral race with fellow
Councillors Dan Rizzo, GerGerry
D’Ambrosio

ry Visconti and Acting Mayor Patrick
Keefe.
“I’ve done things that impact
people,” said Morabito of his
decade of service on the council.
While he intends to continue
making an impact as mayor, he
has broader ambitions. Morabito
said he wants to create a sense of
belonging among all of Revere.
“I’m vested in this community;
I grew up here. I’m a people person.
I have a genuine desire to
serve the community,” said Morabito
in an interview with The
Advocate.
Many people who know Morabito
know him from his days as
the manager of Johnny’s Food
Master, a job that demands a
keen understanding of customer
service. And Morabito sees
residents and voters as customers
of local government who deserve
the best service possible.
“At the end of the day, people
want someone to be out there
on the front line of the customer
experience,” he said.
Morabito’s personal, door-todoor
campaign is a frontline approach
to connecting with voters.
“I’ve knocked on 3,000 doors
– it’s very important – people
want to talk to the candidate,
not the team,” he said, adding
that residents are very engaged
in the election.
And as Morabito sees it, this
is a very diff erent election. “Residents
are fed up with development,”
he said.
With that in mind, during the
Chamber of Commerce Mayoral
Debate last week, Morabito
pledged not to accept any fi nancial
contributions from developers,
and he challenged his fellow
candidates to do the same.
He acknowledges that all candidates
in Revere have accepted
past contributions from developers.
But this year is diff erSTEVE
MORABITO

ent. “It’s important to show residents
there’s no outside infl uence,”
he said.
While on the council, Morabito
served as chairman of the
Economic Development Committee,
which strived to create
businesses and job opportunities
and generate revenue for
the city. “But now we need to
put a hold on it,” he said. “I want
to guide the city’s growth and
development.”
Morabito has made an affordable
Revere a cornerstone
of his campaign. He points out
that he was the only member of
the council to vote in favor of inclusionary
zoning, which would
have required residential developers
to set aside a certain percent
of units in a project as affordable
for lower and moderate-income
families. As mayor,
he intends to support more senior
housing, the expansion of the
Aff ordable Housing Trust Fund,
property tax relief for seniors and
more rental assistance programs
in the city.
Morabito sees Revere, and its
wealth of natural resources, as
perfectly positioned to become
a leader in environmental sustainability
for Massachusetts.
He has called for investments in
green infrastructure and climate
resilience measures that will protect
neighborhoods from storm
surges and fl ooding. He plans a
citywide audit to discover ways
to reduce Revere’s carbon footprint
and save taxpayer dollars.
Like other candidates, Morabito
said expanding the police
force to increase public safety is
a priority. He also favors establishing
a Revere Beach Task Force
that could proactively prepare
for and prevent any problems,
such as the shootings that occurred
Memorial Day weekend.
He regrets the new high school
has become a political issue and
feels residents just want to see a
new school built. He believes Revere
will make it work in any location.
Morabito’s plans for education
also include launching a
universal pre-K program, a signifi
cant benefi t for working families
struggling with the crushing
cost of early childhood care and
education.
In addition to specifi c issues,
Morabito notes that his candidacy
is the fi rst time in Revere’s
political history that an openly
gay candidate has run for mayor.
He feels it’s important not
just because of what it signals
to the gay community, but because
it represents the distance
covered in the eff ort to make Revere
a diverse and inclusive city.
“When you hear people say they
want a change in representation,
that’s equivalent to electing the
fi rst gay mayor,” he said, adding
that all marginalized groups will
be bolstered by seeing him succeed.
And
for Morabito, it’s another
step toward creating a community
of belonging for all residents
of Revere.

~ POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT ~
Firemen and Oilers
Back Michelle Kelley in Revere City Council Race
ley has proposed an enlarged
abutter notifi cation zone for development
projects.
Once in offi ce, she will seek
to enact a code of ethics for the
Revere City Council, similar to
those adopted by other governing
bodies and professional
organizations. She has also advocated
for an increased emphasis
on vocational education
at the new Revere High School.
And she will ensure that Revere’s
seniors receive more respectful
treatment from their government,
including common courtesy
from city officials and at
public meetings.
The fi rst person in her family
to graduate college, Kelley attended
Revere Public Schools
and worked her way through
both college and law school,
receiving degrees from Salem
State University and New England
School of Law. She is admitted
to practice in Massachusetts
state and federal courts.
Kelley lives in West Revere with
MICHELLE KELLEY
Candidate for Councilor-at-Large
A
prominent local chapter of
the Service Employees International
Union whose members
provide maintenance at Revere’s
public housing has thrown
its weight behind Councilor At
Large candidate Michelle Kelley,
building momentum in advance
of the Sept. 19 preliminary election.
Firemen and Oilers Local 3
SEIU, whose activism for working
families dates to the 19th century,
praised Kelley’s plan “to advance
and defend collective bargaining
rights and to use your
experience to provide eff ective
representation for the people
of Revere.”
“We at Local 3 believe you
have demonstrated the strength,
commitment, and experience
that it will take to stand up for
working families and wish you
success in the upcoming election,”
said Anthony Donovan,
President of F&O Local 3 SEIU,
which represents, among many
others, maintenance workers at
the Revere Housing Authority.
Kelley, a lifelong resident, attorney
and realtor, has vowed
to bring a “neighborhood watch”
approach to the Revere City
Council – running from outside
the political establishment to
provide a voice for Revere’s working
families.
Kelley said she was proud to
have the support of F&O Local 3
SEIU, where her late father was
a longtime member and shop
steward. “I was fortunate to grow
up in a union household, and
I’ve never forgotten the lessons
I learned about the value of a
good job at good wages,” said
Kelley. “The men and women of
F&O, Local 3 help keep this city
in shape, and I’m going to City
Hall with the same attitude: to
put in a hard day’s work, and give
the people of this city the representation
they deserve.”
“Having the support of the
people my dad worked alongside
has special meaning for me,”
Kelley added. “He loved Revere
and its people, and I know he’d
be proud of the improvements
I’m trying to make to the city and
of the campaign I’m running.”
A fi rst-time candidate for public
office, Kelley launched her
campaign in May after becoming
increasingly dissatisfi ed with Revere
city government. Since, she
has been listening to residents
across Revere, and sharing with
them her vision for a more transparent
and responsive City Hall.
“People want accountability
for how their hard-earned tax
dollars are spent, and they want
a government that treats them
with respect,” Kelley said. “That’s
why I’m running, and that’s the
spirit of service I’ll instill when
I’m elected.”
Targeting sweetheart deals for
developers that routinely bend
the municipal zoning code authored
by Revere residents, Kelher
husband, David.

C

Jaramillo has been endorsed by the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,

tial labor unions in the Gr
Boston area which includes

Wreaths Across America and American
Legion Auxiliary Enter Partnership
Nonprofi ts agree to work together to help support common missions
for veterans and their families.
COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine,
and CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Aug.
29, 2023 – Today, national nonprofits
Wreaths Across America
(WAA) and the American Legion
Auxiliary (ALA) are proud
to announce the signing of a
Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between the two organizations.
Together, they will
build a stronger awareness of
each group’s common missions
while supporting fundraising efforts
nationwide.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered
in Columbia Falls,
Maine, WAA is best known for its
annual wreath-laying ceremonies
each December. The organization’s
yearlong mission is to Remember
the fallen, Honor those
who serve, and Teach the next
generation the value of freedom.
Now in nearly 4,000 communities
nationwide, WAA volunteers are
committed to sharing the mission
through education and stories
of service and success.
ALA is a community of volunteers
serving veterans, military,
and their families. Their members
also support the mission of
The American Legion to improve
the quality of life for our nation’s
veterans. Founded in 1919, the
ALA is one of the oldest patriotic
membership organizations
in the United States. The ALA
has been essential in increasing
veterans’ welfare and rehabilitation
nationwide, including participation
in the annual National
Wreaths Across America Day
events.
The signed MOU between
the two groups focuses on engagement
with ALA members
and WAA volunteers to create
opportunities for joint community
service activities that bring
awareness to both groups’ missions.
ALA will expand its participation
in WAA’s Group Sponsorship
Program – there are already
more than 100 ALA groups participating
nationwide – which
raises awareness and sponsorships
to place veterans’ wreaths
and support programming while
off ering ALA an option for fundraising.
ALA
will use its fundraising dollars
earned through this program
to support the American Legion
Auxiliary Foundation, which positively
impacts the lives of our
veterans, military, and their families
by funding American Legion
Auxiliary programs today and
for future generations. Founded
in 2007, the purpose of the ALA
Foundation is to assist in carrying
out the educational, charitable,
and other exempt purposes
of the Auxiliary by raising funds
for, assisting in the conduct of,
and providing support to the
Auxiliary programs.

NUMBER 8 ON THE BALLOT
“We are excited to partner with
Wreaths Across America. Both of
our organizations have a common
goal of making sure the sacrifi
ces of our veterans are not forgotten,”
said Vickie Koutz, 20232024
ALA National President.
“Many of our members have already
worked with WAA in their
own communities. We are proud
to now work together at the national
level.”
“This partnership is one that
I feel strongly will positively impact
so many communities
across the country,” said Karen
Worcester, executive director
of WAA. “The work of the ALA
members is so important, and
to know that we can assist them
in their efforts to raise awareness
for their mission and necessary
funding to continue to support
veterans and military families
across the country is quite
humbling.”
Worcester and Koutz signed
the MOU and jointly announced
it to membership today as part of
the American Legion Auxiliary’s
102nd National Convention held
in Charlotte, N.C. To support the

Seven Tips Towards Healthy Aging
By Laurie Fullerton
S
eptember is known as
Healthy Aging Month, as it
is just a great time of year to
make some lifestyle changes.
As our hot, summer days wind
down, we all tend to draw on
that “back to school” urge embedded
in everyone from childhood.
It is a time to focus and
take precautions to help face
the challenges that come with
aging.
Healthy Aging Month started
over 30 years ago in 1992
when a television special aired
that inspired people to make
lifestyle and dietary changes
to prevent heart problems. At
the time, the show received the
American Heart Association’s
Howard Blakeslee Award. Many
campaigns followed, including
the distribution of books, brochures,
videotapes, etc. In 2000,
the “Healthy Aging Magazine”
was launched followed by their
website launch in 2014. The
founder of Healthy Aging Magazine,
Carolyn Worthington,
notes that September is a perfect
time to celebrate Healthy
Aging Month when many people
think about getting started
on new tasks after the summer.
Over the years, it has featured
articles and information on positive
lifestyle changes that could
boost one’s health and well-being.
The publication draws on
the observance month’s activities
that are designed to encourage
people to rejuvenate
and get going on positive measures
that can impact the areas
of physical, social, fi nancial and
mental wellness.
Here are Seven Tips for Reinventing
Yourself during September
according to Healthy Aging
Month magazine.
1. Do not act your age or at
least what you think your current
age should act like. What
was your best year so far? 28?
40? Now? Picture yourself at
that age and be it. Some people
may say this is denial, but
we say it’s positive thinking and
goes a long way toward feeling
better about yourself. (Tip:
Don’t keep looking in the mirror,
just FEEL IT!)
2. Be positive in your conversations
and your actions every
day. When you catch yourself
complaining, check yourself
right there and change the conversation
to something positive.
3. Surround yourself with energetic,
happy, positive people
of all ages and you will be happier
too. (Tip: Smile often. It’s
contagious and wards off naysayers.)
4.
Start walking not only for
your health but to see other
people and stay social.
5. Make this month the time
to set up your annual physical
and other health screenings. Go
to the appointments and then,
hopefully, you can stop worrying
about ailments for a while.
6. Find your inner artist. Who
says taking music lessons is for
young school children? You
may have an artist lurking inside
you just waiting to be tapped.
Have you always wanted to play
the piano, violin, or tuba? Have
you ever wondered if you could
paint a portrait or scene in oil?
What about working in wood?
7. Eat and Drink Healthy –
Make healthy choices like fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, lean
meats, low-fat dairy products
and plenty of water!

Pats’ Football Head Coach
Cicatelli hopes for injury-free
season start
Retirement Planning
Tips for Single Women
Dear Savvy Senior,
What retirement planning tips can you recommend to
single women? I’m a divorced 58-year-old women with a
teenaged son and have very little saved for retirement.
Financially Vulnerable
Dear Vulnerable,
It’s an unfortunate reality, but
RHS Patriots Football Head Coach Lou CicateIIi talked with his team before halftime during last
year’s season opener against the Peabody Tanners. (Advocate fi le photo)
By Don Nicastro
L
ou Cicatelli wants a lot of
things for the Revere High
School football Patriots as he
embarks on his 22nd season
this fall. Wins. Greater Boston
League success. Postseason
competition. And, of course, a
win over Winthrop on Thanksgiving
Day.
However, as the Patriots gear
up for their Week 1 matchup
on Friday, Sept. 8, at defending
Northeastern Conference
Lynch Division champion Peabody,
Cicatelli simply wants one
thing above all else: health for
his players.
Last year, the Patriots lost seven
starters by Week 3. Football
will always have its injuries and
nicks and bruises each week,
but seven starters? Talk about a
snake-bit 2022 campaign.
“If we can stay healthy, we’ll
make some noise,” Cicatelli said.
“The problem last year was we
lost seven starters before Week
3. It was a nightmare. A nightmare.”
The
2023 Patriots so far are a
team with a blend of raw talent,
seasoned skill and an unyielding
spirit. Of course, they’ve yet
to play a game that counts, so
time will tell how things unfold.
That said, Cicatelli knows he has
a team that was “hungry” in the
off season to improve from last
year’s 4-7 campaign, in which
Revere grabbed the No. 14 seed
in Division 3 and lost the playoff
opener to Plymouth South, 28-6.
The Patriots lost their fi nal three
games of the season.
But the team had a tremendous
offseason, focusing on
strength training and teambuilding
activities. The weight
room attendance was notably
high, indicating the players’
commitment.
“They’re very hungry,” Cicatelli
said. “Weight room attendance
was off the charts. We had to
do splits to get the kids in and
out, and we got better, we got
stronger and there was a good
amount of team building. So far,
so good.”
Revere will carry a roster of
about 62 players. That’s a good
number, according to Cicatelli.
The coach liked what he saw
in the first preseason scrimmage
against Burlington. Revere
found the end zone five
times to Burlington’s one. “It
was pretty good,” Cicatelli said.
“We’ve got a lot to clean up,
but you know what? For the
fi rst scrimmage, I was very, very
pleased.”
Revere’s strength this fall may
lie in its skill players, especially
the tailbacks and the quarterback.
However, the Patriots do
have a young off ensive line that
will require more teaching.
Carlos Rizzo, a senior captain,
is once again calling the shots
at quarterback. He has shown
signifi cant improvement in his
poise, strength and speed. And
he’s also taken on a leadership
role as a captain. “His poise,” Cicatelli
said when asked for one of
Rizzo’s top traits. “He’s got a lot
of poise, and he’s also a captain.
He’s a good leader.”
Fellow senior captains for Revere
include Hakim Malki, a defensive
end and guard; Walter
Rodriguez, a defensive end/
tight end; and Abbas Atoui, a
fullback and linebacker. Giovanni
Woodard, a junior, will get
plenty of looks at tailback and
will get linebacker looks on the
other side of the ball. Fellow junior
Danny Hou will spark the
off ense at wide receiver. Woodard’s
speed and Hou’s versatility
are notable.
The team has a strong junior
class, with some promising
freshmen coming in, especially
in terms of size – size of the
young players, that is. “It’s probably
the biggest class I’ve had
in a long time, size-wise,” Cicatelli
said.
Revere’s wasting no time
throwing itself into competition
this season. After that Peabody
opener, it travels to its
playoff foe from last year, Plymouth
South. Then it’s on to the
Greater Boston League for the
six-game league stretch, starting
with Medford on the road
on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 6 p.m.
Everyone wants to know when
Everett lands on the schedule –
and it’s Friday, Oct. 6. “I think we’ll
be OK in the league,” Cicatelli
said. “The GBL I think is getting
better and better. Again, for us,
I think everything goes through
Everett until it doesn’t. I don’t see
much change there.”
many single women – whether
they’re divorced, widowed or
never married – face much greater
fi nancial challenges in retirement
than men.
The reasons behind this are
because women tend to earn
less money – about 82 cents for
every dollar that men make, on
average, and they have shorter
working careers than men due
to raising children and/or caring
for aging parents. And less
money earned usually translates
into less money saved and a lower
Social Security benefi t when
you retire.
In addition, women live an average
of fi ve years longer than
men, which requires their retirement
income to stretch farther
for living expenses and healthcare
costs. And, according to
some studies, women tend to
have less confi dence about fi -
nancial issues than men, which
means they don’t always manage
their money as well as they
should.
Because of these issues, it’s
very important that women educate
themselves on financial
matters and learn how to save
more eff ectively. Here are some
tips and resources that may help.
Start Saving Aggressively
If your employer off ers a retirement
plan, such as a 401K, you
should contribute enough to at
least capitalize on a company
match, if available. And if you can
swing it, contribute even more.
In 2023, you can save as much
as $22,500 in a 401(k), or $30,000
to those 50 and older, due to the
catch-up rule.
If you don’t have a workplace
plan, consider opening a Traditional
or Roth IRA. Both are powerful
tax-advantaged retirement
savings accounts that let you
contribute up to $6,500 annually,
or $7,500 when you’re over
50. And if you’re self-employed,
consider a SEP-IRA, SIMPLE-IRA
and/or a solo 401(k), all of which
can help reduce your taxable income
while putting money away
for retirement.
Also, if you have a high-deductible
health insurance policy
(at least $1,500 for self-only
coverage or $3,000 for family
coverage), you should consider
opening a health savings account
(HSA). This is a triple tax advantage
tool that can be used to
sock away funds pre-tax, which
will lower your taxable income;
the money in the account grows
tax-free; and if you use the money
for eligible medical expenses,
the withdrawals are tax-free too.
Pay Off Debts
If you have debt, you need to
get it under control. If you need
help with this, consider a nonprofi
t credit-counseling agency
that provides free or low-cost advice
and solutions, and can help
you set up a debt management
plan. To locate a credible agency
in your area, use the National
Foundation for Credit Counseling
website at NFCC.org (800388-2227),
or the or the Financial
Counseling Association of America
FCAA.org (800-450-1794).

on fi nancial matters like retirement
planning, saving and investing,
health care, annuities
and more, a top resource is the

Sports Preview with RHS Patriots Athletic Director Frank Shea
By Don Nicastro
A
s another athletic season
dawns upon Revere High
School, the school’s athletic landscape
presents a mosaic of challenges,
achievements and transitions.
From the fl uctuating dynamics
of freshman teams to value
of coaches new and returning,
the school’s athletic director,
Frank Shea, provides an insightful
glimpse into the state of
Revere athletics. With a history of
both successes, such as the undefeated
run of the girls’ volleyball
team last fall, and challenges
like the decline of the varsity
hockey team, Revere High School
stands at a crossroads of tradition
and change.
Shea caught up with the Revere
Advocate as his teams soon begin
their fall competition. Shea has
a rich history with Revere High
School and its athletic programs.
His journey from being associated
with the old Savio Prep in
Boston to his current role as the
athletics director at Revere High
School showcases his commitment
and experience in the fi eld
of school athletics. He is in Year
No. 9 now.
The onset of the athletic season
brings a fl urry of activity and excitement.
While the atmosphere
remains consistent with previous
years, the logistics and coordination
eff orts are immense, especially
at the beginning. Football
started Friday, Aug. 18, and all
other sports began their preseason
the following Monday.
“You know, I don’t think it’s any
diff erent than any of the previous
years. I think kids are excited,”
Shea said in the Advocate’s Aug.
21 interview. “Coaches are kind
of running around with their
heads cut off trying to get kids
cleared with physicals. They’re
looking at times for tryouts and
how many kids they’re going to
have and if they have to make
cuts, and so it’s kind of hectic
with them. Coordinating all the
sports, especially for the fall, is
the most diffi cult because people
have been away for the summer
and no one’s really in that
mode yet. And it just all comes
and hits you right at once.”
The school has a mix of new
and veteran coaches. While new
coaches bring fresh ideas and energy,
the experienced ones provide
stability and a deep understanding
of the school’s athletic
culture. Alex Butler will take
over the fi eld hockey program.
Sabrina Sloan and Kylie Pezzuto
will grab the reins of the cheerleading
program. Emilie Hostetter
takes over the volleyball program
– coming off a tremendous
season for which he was an assistant.
Lou Cicatelli (football), Michael
Flynn (boys’ cross-country),
Katie Sinnott (girls’ cross-country),
Manual Lopes (boys’ soccer),
Megan O’Donnell (girls’ soccer)
and Brendon Pezzuto (golf)
all return.
Shea said he’s excited with the
mix of coaches, new and old.
While the returning coaches
like Cicatelli (22 seasons) “make
things much easier,” the new
ones “come with a lot of new
ideas and a new energy, which
is good. They are quality candidates
who went through the
interview process … and have
a level of experience, expertise
and enthusiasm.”
The aftermath of the COVID-19
pandemic saw a decline
OBITUARIES
Patricia E. “Pat”
(DiBenedetto) Lino
Metro Vocational Technical High
School, class of 1953.
Following High School, Patricia
met her husband, Richard
Lino. They married in May of
1957 and shortly after moved
to East Boston to start and raise
their family. She remained there
until moving to Revere in 1979.
Patricia worked for Ames DeO
f
Revere. Passed away peacefully
on Monday, August 21,
2023. She was 88 years old. Born
in Chelsea, she was the daughter
of the late Robert A. and Violet
(Breen) DiBenedetto. She was
raised and educated in Melrose
and was a graduate of Northeast
partment Store in the fabric department
for many years, until
the time of her retirement. She
was also a talented seamstress
and she loved to sew and make
her own clothing. She eventually
turned her passion into a career
and started her own business
as a dress maker in her
home.
Pat was an avid reader. She
was very active and walked 2
miles a day. She enjoyed chatting
with friends and being
around other people. Above all
she adored her family and cherished
spending time with them.
She was a loving mother, grandmother,
great grandmother, sister,
aunt, and friend who will be
missed by all who knew her.
Patricia was the beloved wife
of the late Richard Lino; the devoted
mother of Stephen Lino of
Bellfl ower, CA., the late Richard
K. Lino, the late Mark Lino, and
the late Richard Lino, Jr.; cherished
grandmother of Robert
Gaskell, Amanda Gaskell, Brittany
Lino and Richard Lino; adored
great grandmother of Anthony,
Royale and Ashawn; dear sister
of the late Phyllis Moreau and
Frances O’Brien. She is also lovingly
survived by many nieces,
nephews, and cousins.
Family and friends were invited
to attend Visting Hours on
Monday, August 28 in the Vertuccio
Smith & Vazza, Beechwood
Home for Funerals, Revere.
Her Funeral was on Tuesday,
followed by a Funeral Mass
at Sacred Heart Parish in East
Boston. Interment followed in
Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden.
in sports participation. However,
the school has managed to
bounce back to pre-pandemic
levels. There’s a noticeable trend
of students becoming selective
in their sports choices, with some
sports gaining popularity and
others seeing a decline.
“We did have a big drop coming
the fi rst year coming out of
COVID,” Shea said. “But we’ve kind
of got back to where we were
numbers-wise, at least overall
numbers, prior to COVID, which
is a plus.”
Urban schools like Revere face
unique challenges in boosting
athletic participation, according
to Shea. Many students have external
responsibilities, making it
diffi cult to achieve high participation
rates. Shea said they’re
in the upper-30s for percentage
of Revere High School students
who play a sport.
Despite this, the school has
seen a positive trend in recent
years. Certain sports like football,
volleyball and soccer have witnessed
high, consistent participation
rates, while others, such as
cross-country, baseball and golf,
have seen a decline.
“Football has done very well,
numbers-wise, and boys’ soccer
and girls’ soccer always have really
good numbers,” Shea said. “The
boys have well over 100 kids try
out every year.”
Over the years, some sports
teams at Revere High School
have faced challenges in maintaining
their status. For instance,
the varsity hockey team had to
give up its host status due to a decline
in participants. It now plays
with a cooperative team of student-athletes
from Malden, Everett
and Mystic Valley.
The school has experienced
fluctuations in the number of
participants for freshman teams
in various sports. While there’s
great participation at the middle
school level, it doesn’t always
translate to high school.
As for the decision to move
back to the Greater Boston
League (GBL) a few years ago
from the Northeastern Conference
(NEC), that strategic move
has proven benefi cial, especially
for the girls’ teams. The GBL offers
a more competitive and rewarding
environment for Revere’s
athletes.
“Overall, I think it was a slam
dunk for us,” Shea said. “We’ve
had a lot of success, especially
on the girls’ side, with winning
GBL titles.”

travel to the Haymarket area.
• Green Line service will be
suspended between North Station
and Government Center
Station. Riders are instead asked
to walk above ground between
these stations – Government
Center, Haymarket, and North
Station are each less than a half
mile from each other (about a
five- to 10-minute walk). The
distance between Government
Center to North Station is about
three-quarters of a mile (about

about potentially unsafe conditions,
automatically slowing
and stopping a train if needed.
Shuttle buses will replace
train service between Reading
and Oak Grove where passengers
can make an Orange Line
subway connection. A shuttle
bus will also provide service
between Reading and Anderson/Woburn

were no roll calls in the House or
Senate last week. This week, Beacon
Hill Roll Call reports on the
percentage of times local senators
voted with their party’s leadership
in the 2023 session through
August 25.
Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 61
votes from the 2023 Senate session
as the basis for this report.
This includes all roll calls that were
not quorum calls or on local issues.
The votes of 34 Democrats
were compared to Senate Majority
Leader Cynthia Creem (D-Newton),
second-in-command in the
Senate. We could not compare
the Democrats’ votes to those of
Senate President Karen Spilka (DAshland)
because, by tradition, the
Creem the least percentage of
times is Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton)
who voted with her only 52
times (85.2 percent). Rounding
out the top four who voted with
Creem the least number of times
are Sens. John Keenan (D-Quincy)
who voted with her 55 times
(91.6 percent); and Barry Finegold
(D-Andover) and Becca Rausch (DNeedham)
who each voted with
her 57 times (93.4 percent).
Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted
these four senators and asked
them to comment on the percentage
of times, lower than the other
senators, each one voted with the
leadership. Only one of the four responded.
“I always respect and value
the views and contributions of
all my colleagues,” said Sen. Keenan.
“I also recognize the diff erence
in our perspectives and the politics
of the districts we represent,
and these sometimes lead to differences
in voting records. What
has always guided me in voting is
doing what I believe is right and
what best benefi ts my constituents
and all the residents of the
commonwealth.”
Sens. Timilty, Finegold and
Rausch were contacted three
times but did not respond.
Overall, 33 of the 34 Democrats
(97 percent) voted with Creem 90
percent or more of the time -- including
19 (55.8 percent) who voted
with Creem 100 percent of the
time and nine (26.4 percent) who
voted with Creem all but one time.
The votes of the two Republican
senators were compared
with those of GOP Senate Minority
Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).
Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth)
voted with Tarr 61 times
(100 percent) while Sen. Ryan Fattman
(R-Sutton) voted with Tarr 60
times (98.3 percent).
SENATORS’ SUPPORT OF THEIR
PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2023
THROUGH AUGUST 25
The percentage next to the senator’s
name represents the percentage
of times the senator supported
his or her party’s leadership
so far in 2023. The number in parentheses
represents the number
of times the senator opposed his
or her party’s leadership.
Some senators voted on all 61
roll call votes. Others missed one
or more roll calls. The percentage
for each senator is calculated
based on the number of roll calls
on which he or she voted.
Sen. Lydia Edwards
98.3 percent (1)
ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
DUELING VERSION OF TAX REDUCTION
BILLS ARE STILL STUCK
IN COMMITTEE (H 377 and S 2406)
– A 6-member House-Senate
conference committee, appointed
on June 20, is still negotiating
the hammering out of a compromise
version of diff erent versions
of competing tax relief packages
approved by each branch. The
Senate’s package would cost the
state about $590 million annually,
while the House’s would cost close
to $1.1 billion.
In the meantime, there are dozens
of tax relief bills pending before
the Revenue Committee. Here
are some of them:
CHARITABLE DEDUCTION (S
1801) – Would allow the state’s
charitable deduction to be claimed
only by taxpayers who do not
itemize their federal returns -- a
group that supporters say generally
consists of lower to moderate
income people. They say the bill
makes the charitable tax deduction
more progressive.
“This bill strikes the right balance
between encouraging charitable
contributions and ensuring
that our tax code is fair,” said sponsor
Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough).
DEDUCT
COLLEGE TUITION
COSTS (S 1884) – Would allow
students or their parents, on their
state tax returns, to deduct up to
50 percent of their tuition payments
to public colleges in the
Bay State.
“An individual choosing to pursue
higher education is a student
making an investment not only in
their own future, but also in the future
of the commonwealth,” said
sponsor Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury).
“I believe we ought to encourage
and celebrate that. At a
time when higher education is becoming
increasingly unaff ordable,
creating a tax deduction for students
pursuing a degree at one of
Massachusetts’ world-class colleges
or universities seems like a nobrainer.
Increasing access to education
makes all of us more competitive,
more productive and
more successful. Let’s do what we
can to make higher ed possible for
every student who wants it.”
ALLOW STATE INCOME TAX DEDUCTION
FOR SCHOOL AND MUNICIPAL
FEES PAID BY RESIDENTS
(H 2868) – Would provide a tax
deduction for the school fees that
parents must often pay for their
public school children and for trash
pick-up and disposal fees.
Supporters say most public
schools levy a variety of fees on
their students including fees to
park cars in school lots, to enroll
in full-day kindergarten, to ride
the school bus, to participate in after-school
sports and to join clubs
and other extracurricular activities.
“I fi led this bill because many
families in my district and in
MetroWest pay over $1,000 per
year in school fees,” said sponsor
Rep. David Linsky (D-Natick). “All
these services were formerly funded
through the local property tax,
though that is no longer the case.
[The bill] will benefi t the middle
class and help to uplift the purpose
of well-rounded public schools.”
CONSERVATION LAND TAX
CREDIT (H 2839) – Makes changes
to the state’s current Conservation
Land Tax Credit (CLTC) law which
provide an incentive for individuals
to donate land in Massachusetts
to a public or private conservation
agency. The CLTC provides
an up to $75,000 refundable state
tax credit equal to 50 percent of
the fair market value of the donated
property. The land being donated
must have signifi cant conservation
value, which includes forest
land, farmland, land used for
wildlife protection and projects essential
to water quality protection.

The bill would increase the current
annual statewide maximum
total CLTC cap allowed from $2
million to $5 million over a threeyear
period. The $5 million cap
will remain in eff ect until December
31, 2034, at which time the
cap will revert back to $2 million.
“For every $1 in tax credits paid
out under this program, the state
has leveraged $4.16 of private
land donated value, which is a
tremendous return,” said sponsor
Rep. Brad Jones (R-North
Reading). “Since the CLTC was
launched, it has protected over
15,000 acres of land with an appraised
value of over $89 million,
with many more projects already
lined up seeking a tax credit. Increasing
the annual cap will help
clear up the waiting list and allow
more landowners to take advantage
of the tax credit while also
ensuring that more of the state’s
natural resources are protected.”
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“As senseless acts of gun violence
continue to take the lives
of innocent people across the
commonwealth and country, we
should be doing everything we
can to protect the public – including
barring those with restraining
orders for domestic violence from
having access to deadly weapons.
The lower court’s ruling makes society
less safe and ultimately places
domestic violence survivors in a
position of greater danger. Commonsense
gun measures save
lives and now more than ever,
we need our courts to recognize
this fact.”
---Attorney General Andrea
Campbell on behalf of 25 state
attorneys general urging the U.S.
Supreme Court to reverse a lower
court’s decision striking down
a federal statute that bars individuals
subject to domestic violence
restraining orders from accessing
guns.
“This is a great day for our state.
This is a big step forward for students
who have grown up here,
worked here and followed their
dreams here in Massachusetts.
It’s what is fair and what is right.
They’re going to continue their
journey on the same terms as
their peers.”
---Gov. Maura Healey on the
new state law that would allow
SELLER2
undocumented/illegal immigrants
to qualify for the lower instate
college tuition rate if they
attended high school here for at
least three years and graduated or
completed a GED.
“Many municipalities are eager
to replace their failing culverts
with larger, climate-ready
structures, but they often lack the
technical knowledge and fi nancial
resources to do so. This grant
program fi lls the gap by providing
both necessary funding and
technical assistance to local communities.
---Lt.
Gov. Kim Driscoll announcing
a $6.4 million grant program
to strengthen community preparedness
for large storms, improve
climate-ready infrastructure, restore
fl ood storage capacities and
protect fi sheries, wildlife and river
habitat.
“Data equity has been a priority
for the House Asian Caucus for
a number of years now and we’re
extremely proud to have gotten it
over the fi nish line. Accurate data
collection is imperative to combatting
systemic inequities and
better understanding the needs
of our diverse communities.”
