The accessible lectern was funded through proceeds collected from illegal handicap parking fi nes and allocated by the Commission on Disabilities, and it ensures that individuals of all abilities can fully participate in public meetings, events and civic discussions. Mayor Patrick M. Keefe, Jr. commented, “Accessibility is about creating fairness and opportunity for everyone. This podium is more than a piece of equipment: It represents our dedication to ensuring that all voices in Revere can be heard.

Something as simple as an accessible podium can make a profound diff erence for individuals who have historically felt overlooked or excluded.†Commission on Disabilities Chair Ralph DeCicco added, “It’s essential that the funds collected from illegal handicap parking violations are reinvested into initiatives that directly improve accessibility.

C ityLab Innovation High School Principal Dr. Stacey Mulligan and Humanities teacher Nicolas Blaisdell were at the last School Committee meeting with an uplifting presentation on how the alternative high school increased attendance rates from 30 to 40 percent to more than 90 percent. The educators credit the ELO, which Blaisdell told the committee was not the band (Electric Light Orchestra), but rather experiential learning opportunities. Every week, students head outside into the community for a real-life, hands-on lesson. “The whole idea is to move www.810bargrille.com away from traditional model of teaching and learning,†said Blaisdell, adding that research shows learning is more effective if it’s an experience. Recent examples of ELOs included a math teacher using a vending machine to explain functions, a Japanese teacher making Zoom calls Nicolas Blaisdell CityLab Teacher to Japan and a trip to Harvard’s Natural History Museum. Blaisdell said that a physics class recently taught students about motion by hoisting him up 30 feet in the air and making him a pendulum. Blaisdell also explained that CityLab has partnerships with Artists for Humanity for students interested in careers in the arts and with Legal Seafoods for students interested in the culinary field. CityLab has also teamed up with Hale Education in Westwood, which uses nature and outdoor environments for teaching. Blaisdell, who teaches world history, was able to demonstrate World War I trench warfare and alliance building rather than lecturing about those topics. Blaisdell said that at Hale students also learn leadership and public speaking skills — all through experiential learning. In addition to a massive increase in attendance, Blaisdell said, student engagement is much higher and students have a deeper understanding of ideas. They retain information and concepts far more through ELOs. And the focus on ELOs has changed the culture of high school. “It makes me happy to see full hallways of students laughing,†said Mulligan, who added that the decision to do school differently has been a success. “We want students to know they are learning in a different way, it’s not field trips, it’s hands on, deeper learning. We saw need, and we answered the call.†׉ Ú7cassandra://M_QrNGshR0LYl2FpzkD_3Ibg7x1BzkHa9PhBUk9DiuIÍ9§Í`ÌÔÍ×g‰[‡5ç=ï !׉EÚvTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2025 Page 5 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ Fundraiser for Kennel Owner at Beachmont VFW January 30 D ear Editor, On Thursday, January 30th at 6:00 p.m. at the Beachmont VFW, we are hosting a fundraiser for Lisa Cutting, owner of Ocean View kennel and Pet Resort. Lisa is a longtime quasi-public servant for the city of Revere, whom I had the privilege of working with as Mayor, along with Chief Cafarelli during that time.

Our goal is to raise money to help with accumulating medical bills and expenses as she faces some major challenges, both personally and professionally. If at all possible, we would love your attendance and assistance in helping to get people to our event and to help support the cause by spreading the word. Tickets are $25 but any and all donations are appreciated. If you cannot make it on the 30th, but wish to donate, please feel free to send a contribution of your choosing, with checks payable to “Lisa Cuttingâ€.

While the risk to the public remains low, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring the situation and working with states to track individuals who have been exposed to animals infected with the flu. This flu is common in wild birds and has led to outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy farms. Revere’s Urban Agriculture Ordinance allows residents to have small backyard flocks of chickens with an up-todate license from the Board of Health. If you have chickens, please take precautions to reduce the risk of spreading the fl u from wild birds.

Rose also asked if there is any way to change the Commonwealth’s status as a sanctuary state. City Council President Marc Silvestri responded that these are state issues and not within the City Council’s purview. Governor Maura Healy has said state offi cials will review the right to shelter law as well as other aspects of the emergency shelter system, including time limits on shelter stays. There were two motions filed in response to the arrest at the Quality Inn. Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro called for the police to work with the management of Revere hotels to investigate each occupied room in the city for suspicious or illegal activity. Cogliandro, however, asked that his motion be placed on fi le. He said he had spoken with the mayor and the police, and everyone is working together to ensure public safety. In a statement released on Jan. 7, 2025, by Mayor Patrick Keefe following the incident at the Quality Inn regarding 10 pounds of fentanyl and the AR-15 seizure at Quality Inn Emergency Family Shelter: “The Revere Police seizure of 10 pounds of deadly fentanyl and a high-capacity weapon at the Quality Inn Emergency Family Shelter in Revere refl ects the good work of our police and law enforcement partners to keep all in our community safe.

We are in lockstep with our state leaders in calling for better controls at the federal level to stop those who seek to do harm from gaining entry into our communities.†A second motion — fi led by Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley — called for representatives from the state’s Executive Offi ce of Housing and Livable Communities to appear before the council to discuss the vetting process for people who are given rooms at emergency assistance shelters and what steps are in place to ensure individuals engaged in illegal activity are not in the shelter system in Revere. Kelley gave a blistering critique of the state’s failure to SECURITY | FROM Page1 stall metal detectors at the high school. Cogliandro said he was torn about whether to keep the motion in committee or fi le it. He suggested that portable detectors that could be moved as needed might be a possibility. Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya acknowledged that a lot of people don’t like the idea of metal detectors in a school, but she stressed that the safety and security of students was the maproperly vet and oversee the shelter system. “The public’s anger is justifi ed, and I stand with them in demanding answers,†she said. Kelley called the state’s failure to conduct background checks on people in emergency shelters “a prime example of common sense being thrown out the window.†She said it is appalling that a state-run resource, funded by taxpayer dollars, operating under a unique right-toshelter law is so fundamentally fl awed. Kelley is also looking for answers from state offi cials who may be looking to place people in permanent housing within the city. “It’s imperative we have a full discussion,†she said. “Our community deserves transparency.†Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto called the state’s right-to-shelter law a noble and well-intended mistake that was never meant to provide shelter for a wave of new jor concern. “Just the awareness of a metal detector will be enough to keep weapons out and protect our children,†she said, adding that she wanted the motion to remain in committee where it can continue to be discussed. “Keep it in committee,†said Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto. “I think we need to talk about it. There’s a way to get it done.†Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna noted that 6,300 weapons went through semigrants, but rather for citizens in need. “Sanctuary cities protect criminals and we have to wake up,†he said. Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya said the arrest at the Quality Inn highlighted the need for thorough background checks, which should have been implemented in the beginning. “Residents deserve a community where safety and security is held at all levels,†she said. Council President Silvestri called the issue a touchy and emotional topic. He acknowledged that there were protections and guidelines in place that were missed. But he stressed it’s a situation that has a lot of moving parts and added that it is time to rally together and make sure the problem is solved legally and morally. The council voted 10-0 in support of Kelley’s motion with Councillor-at-Large Juan Pablo Jaramillo being recused from the vote. curity at the airport. “I always believed in metal detectors. I wanted them here at City Hall,†said McKenna. “If we are going to keep our children safe, this is the way to do it.†City Council President Marc Silvestri said it was the will of the council to keep the motion in the public safety committee. “Metal detectors may not be the answer, but a conversation involving everyone — parents, teachers, students — on keeping our schools safe is important,†he said. î¹ î€¹îŒî‘îœî îŒî‡îŒî‘îŠ î¹ î€¦î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœ î’î•îŽ î¹ î€§îˆî†îŽî– î¹ î€µî’î’î‰îŒî‘îŠ î¹ î€©î•îˆîˆ î–î—îŒîî„î—îˆî– î¹ î€µîˆî“îî„î†îˆîîˆî‘î— î€ºîŒî‘î‡î’îšî– î¹ î€©î˜îîîœ î€¯îŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆî‡ î¹ î€©î˜îîîœ î€¬î‘î–î˜î•îˆî‡ ׉ Ú7cassandra://5U7VPUOICYNH3DbPr78NOHi0Wu0fWzMB-hQLtMW7v2cÍ3´Í`ÌÔÍ×g‰[‡5ç=ï #׉EÚLTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2025 Page 7 Emma Ryssette (Pagan) Berrios O f Revere.

Loving brother of Giovanni (Ermelinda) Russo of Revere, MA and Angelina (Michele) DiPlacido of Calore di Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, Italy. Beloved “Nonno†to Leonila and Selena Russo, and “Peepaw†to Mia and Haleigh Soto. Dear son of the late Gennaro and Teresina Russo of Calore di Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, Italy. Luigi was born, and grew up, in Calore di Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, Italy. He came to America in May of 1971 and resided in Somerville. In 1977 he married Rachel and settled in Revere where they raised their two children. Luigi worked for 45 years, fi rst as an autobody repairman at Somerville Auto Body and A&M Auto Body, and later as a demolition laborer for Atlantic Coast Dismantling with Local 1421 (Building Wreckers). He loved working and took pride in a job well and safely done. To this day Luigi is respected by past employers and co-workers for his work ethic, trustworthiness, and fun-loving personality. Luigi loved spending time at his cottage in Madison, NH. While there he and his wife enjoyed snowmobiling, taking long walks, being on the shimmery lake with his pontoon, watching breathtaking sunsets, and gazing at the glorious star-fi lled night sky. He would often go up to New Hampshire’s “North Country†to hunt for small game and to sporting clubs for clay shooting events. He created great road trip memories with loved ones cruising along the East Coast, driving cross country to California, and visiting Canada. He and Rachel also toured Italy and parts of France and Switzerland. His dream of going to Alaska with his wife came true in 2018. He cherished his 2021 family vacation to Florida.

You rely on your outdoor power equipment to do the heavy lifting, and it’s important to keep safety in mind. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) reminds home and business owners to use snow throwers, often referred to as snow blowers, safely and offers tips to help. “Weather today is unpredictable. You need to have your snow thrower serviced and ready to power up,†says OPEI President and CEO Kris Kiser. “Review your owner’s manual so you can use your equipment safely.†Kiser says preparation is key and that home and business owners should consider the following: Review the owner’s manual. Check the owner’s manual for safe handling procedures. If the manual cannot be found, look it up online, and store a copy on your computer so it’s available to reference in the future. Review how to operate controls. Be able to shut off equipment quickly. Check equipment. The snow thrower should be powered off when being checked over. Adjust any cables and check the auger. Charge batteries. Locate the batteries for your snow thrower and charge them fully before it snows. Purchase fuel. Be sure to use the correct fuel recommended by the equipment’s manufacturer. For most gasoline-powered snow throwers, that is E10 or less. Often fuel stations are closed after a storm so buy gasoline in advance of storms. Fuel that is more than 30 days old can phase separate and cause operating problems. For more information on fueling properly see www.opei.org/programs/ethanolwarning Store and use fuel properly. Place gasoline in a proper fuel container and label it with the date purchased and the ethanol content. Store fuel safely and out of the reach of children. Fill the fuel tank outside before starting the engine and while the engine is cold. Never add fuel to a running or hot engine. Clear the area. Snow can sometimes hide objects. Doormats, hoses, balls, toys, boards, wires, and other debris should be removed from areas you intend to clear. When run over by a snow thrower, these objects may harm the machine or people. Dress for winter weather. Locate safety gear now, and place it in an accessible closet or location. Wear safety glasses, gloves and footwear that can handle cold and slippery surfaces when operating the snow thrower. KEY SAFETY TIP: Never put your hands inside the auger or chute. Use a clean out tool to unclog snow or debris from the snow thrower. Your hands should never go inside the auger or chute. Turn OFF the snow thrower if you need to clear a clog. If you need to remove debris or unclog snow, always turn off the snow thrower. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before clearing any clogs or debris. Operate in visible conditions. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light. Aim with care. Never throw snow toward people or cars. Keep children or pets inside and away from your snow thrower when it is operating. Use extreme caution on slopes and hills. Use caution when changing directions on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes. Know where the cord is. If using an electric powered snow thrower, be aware of where the power cord is at all times. Avoid tripping.

The bill is the HansonMilone Act (S3011 Amendment to H4941). This legislation will mandate that boat operators in the Commonwealth obtain a boater safety certifi cate. The legislation was fi rst drafted over ten years ago by previous State Rep. Thomas Calter. It was most recently sponsored and championed by Rep. Kathleen LaNatra (Democrat 12th Plymouth) and former State Senator Susan Moran. The new law will require all who operate a boat in the Commonwealth fi rst to pass a boater safety test and be issued a boater safety certificate, which must be present on the boat being operated at all times. The legislation provides certain exemptions to the requirements for individuals such as merchant mariners, active members of the Armed Forces who are qualified to operate motorboats, or students of a secondary or maritime school or college who operate motorboats as part of instruction. Individuals who previously possessed a boater safety certifi cate will not be required to receive another certifi cate or retake an examination. There are also inclusions for reciprocity for boaters with NASBLA-approved certifi cates from other states or MA boaters who already have a boater safety certifi cate. Massachusetts Marine Trades Association Executive Director Randall Lyons — “The signing of the Hanson Milone safe boating bill provides a gateway to further education for the recreational boating industry in Massachusetts, leading to lives saved on the waterways for years to come. Thank you to many involved in passing the bill, especially Rep. LaNatra and Christopher Jean, her Chief of Staff , for their many years of working on this bill. Thank you also to Governor Healey, Lt. Governor Driscoll, Chairman Aaron Michlewitz, and Chairman Michael Rodrigues for their support and fi nal approval of the bill. An element of the new law can be directly related to a recent statistic released by the US Coast Guard — “Where instruction was known, 75% of deaths occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety educationâ€. — As the late great Paul Milone frequently said — “Safe Boating is no Accident.â€. The bill is named after David Hanson, a young man who tragically lost his life in a boating accident in 2010, and Paul Milone, the late harbormaster from Weymouth who dedicated his life to boat safety and was a major proponent and advocate for this legislation. The Hanson and Milone families have been strong advocates for passing this crucial legislation and were able to participate in the offi cial announcement of the bill passing at an event at the Discover Boating New England Boat Show on Wednesday night. Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll presented the signed bill to Lisa Milone, Paul’s widow, and Eric Hanson, David’s brother. The timeline for implementation of the HansonMilone Act is as follows: • Guidance will be published by the offi ce of law enforcement no later than October 1, 2025 • Anyone born after January 1, 1989, has until April 1, HANSON MILONE SAFE BOATING BILL PASSES Massachusetts Boaters are now safer on the waterways with the passage of the Hanson Milone Act “SAFE BOATING IS NO ACCIDENT!†THANKTHANK YOU!OU! Governor Healey, Lt. Governor Driscoll, Chairman Rodrigues, Chairman Michlewitz, Representative LaNatra, and the entire MA State Administration for helping to pass this extremely important safe boating bill 2026, to obtain their certifi - cate, provided that no operator shall be assessed a penalty until September 1, 2026. • Anyone born on or before January 1, 1989, must obtain their certifi cate before April 1, 2028.

Natural Gas and Oil Heat If you have a furnace, waS TOW — With temperatures expected to dip into the teens overnight this week, Massachusetts State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine is reminding residents to stay warm safely and protect their loved ones from some of the most common home heating fi res. “We’re expecting very cold weather in the nights ahead, and home heating appliances will be working overtime,†said State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine. “Heating equipment is the leading cause of carbon monoxide at home and the second leading cause of residential fi res. Whether you’re using gas, oil, solid fuel, or space heaters to keep warm, be sure you keep safe, too.†State Fire Marshal Davine said there were nearly 6,000 heating fi res in Massachusetts from 2019 to 2023. These fi res claimed eight lives, caused 139 injuries to firefighters and residents, and contributed to over $42 million in damage. And in 2023 alone, Massachusetts fi re departments reported fi nding carbon monoxide at nearly 5,000 non-fi re incidents. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms Every household needs working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of their home. Check the manufacturing date on the back of your alarms so you know when to replace them: smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years, and carbon monoxide alarms should be replaced after 5 to 10 years depending on the model. If your alarms take alkaline batteries, put in fresh batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. If it’s time to replace your alarms, choose new ones from a well-known, national brand. Select smoke alarms with a sealed, long-life battery and a hush feature. ter heater, or oil burner, have it professionally checked and serviced each year. This will help it run more efficiently, which will save you money and could save your life. Always keep a three-foot “circle of safety†around the appliance clear of anything that could catch fi re. Never store painting supplies, aerosol cans, or other fl ammable items near these appliances. If you smell gas, don’t use any electrical switches or devices: get out, stay out, and call 9-1-1 right away. Residents struggling to pay for heating bills or maintenance may be eligible for assistance through the Massachusetts home energy assistance program (HEAP). No matter what type of heating equipment you use, HEAP may be able to help you pay your winter heating bills or maintain your heating system. All Massachusetts residents are encouraged to explore eligibility for this free program and apply for assistance. Solid Fuel Heating If you use a fireplace or a stove that burns wood, pellets, or coal, always keep the area around it clear for three feet in all directions. This circle of safety should be free of furniture, drapery, rugs, books and papers, fuel, and any other fl ammable items. To prevent sparks and embers from escaping, use a fi replace screen or keep the stove door closed while burning. Use only dry, seasoned hardwood and don’t use fl ammable liquids to start the fi re. To dispose of ashes, wait until they are cool and shovel them into a metal bucket with a lid and place it outside at least 10 feet away from the building. Have your chimney and fl ue professionally inspected and cleaned each year. Most chimney fi res are caused by burning creosote, a tarry substance that builds up as the fi replace, wood stove, or pellet stove is used. If burning creosote, sparks, embers, or hot gases escape through cracks in the fl ue or chimney, they can cause a fi re that spreads to the rest of the structure. Annual cleaning and inspection can minimize this risk. Contact the Massachusetts Chimney Sweep Guild or Chimney Safety Institute of America to identify reputable local companies. Space Heaters Keep space heaters at least three feet from curtains, bedding, and anything else that can burn. Plug them directly into a wall socket, not an extension cord or a power strip, and remember that they’re for temporary use. Always turn a space heater off when you leave the room or go to sleep. When purchasing a space heater, select one that’s been tested and labeled by a nationally recognized testing company, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Intertek (ETL). Newer space heaters should have an automatic shut-off switch that turns the device off if it tips over. Unvented kerosene space heaters and portable propane space heaters are not permitted for residential use in Massachusetts, State Fire Marshal Davine said: the risk of fi re and carbon monoxide poisoning that they pose is too great. Create and Practice a Home Escape Plan Everyone should have a home escape plan that accounts for two ways out of every room, and everyone should be able to open the doors and windows along the way. Remember that children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need extra assistance.

The “road warriors,†as Patriots coach David Leary dubbed his team, have shown strength and endurance in the face of eight straight road or neutral-site games in the first half of the season. Last Thursday, the Patriots traveled to Chelmsford, where they faced off against the Merrimack Valley Conference contenders in a closely fought match. After a slow start and trailing early, Revere’s senior tricaptain Josh Mercado (11 points, five rebounds, two steals) ignited the offense with a corner three-pointer, setting the tone for a gritty comeback. The game remained tightly contested, with the score tied at halftime. The third quarter saw Revere pulling ahead, bolstered by effective plays from junior forward Devin Berry (10 points, six rebounds) and senior tricaptains Ethan Day (21 points, six rebounds, four assists) and Avi Lung (three huge free throws down the stretch). Revere ended up securing a 55-49 victory. Berry gave the Patriots a huge lift off the bench with three tough finishes in the lane over bigger defenders, and Day had two more nice drives to the hoop, giving the Patriots a 42-34 lead headed into the final quarter. The Lions went on a 15-2 run in a 2:30 stretch to take a 49-48 lead with four minutes to go. Revere held tough, though. “We are proud of these guys,†Leary said. “It’s not easy to travel an hour plus on a bus and show up mentally ready to go, but they were ready. The way these kids responded after losing a 12-point lead was important and encouraging moving forward. No quit in these boys, and Ethan obviously was fantastic down the stretch. They all were; proud of our defense holding them scoreless the final four minutes.†The very next day, the Patriots faced another tough opponent in Somerville. Despite signs of fatigue, Revere started strong, propelled by Day’s aggressive play and Josh Mercado’s buzzer-beating three-pointer to end the first quarter with a 19-7 lead. However, as the game progressed, fatigue and intensified defense from Somerville saw Revere struggling to maintain its lead. The game’s climax came in the final seconds of regulation, with the score tied at 39-39. Somerville briefly led, but a stepback three-pointer from Day forced overtime. In the extra period, straPats Co-Capt. Joshua Mercado, who is shown with the ball during recent action against Lynnfi eld, garnered 11 points, fi ve rebounds and two steals against Chelmsford. tegic plays and crucial rebounds from Berry and freshman standout Charles Dobre (six points, six rebounds, two steals) kept the Patriots ahead.

Somerville came down looking for the tying or go-ahead basket, but freshman Dobre jumped the passing lane and flew down court to the basket. After a missed layup, Day was there to clean it up with the rebound and finish to give Revere the 4945 overtime win. “Well that was intense,†Leary said. “We are obviously fortunate to get this one. We knew it would be tough. They are well-coached and aggressive, and I think we got fatigued at some point after playing back-to-back, but we are so proud of the way these guys responded and didn’t quit, and obviously Ethan’s shot was immense. Looking forward to finally playing at home again next week.

Speaking of dominating, the Patriots have not lost a dual meet in indoor or outdoor track since 2023. In the meet versus Malden, the Patriots had a total of 10 fi rst-place fi nishes, seven second-place fi nishes and six third-place fi nishes. Against Lynn Classical, the Patriots had 10 fi rst-place fi nishes, seven second-place fi nishes and seven third-place fi nishes. “This means a Revere girl took fi rst place in every single event, except the relay which we chose not to run at the end of the meet,†Revere coach Racquel Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “Absolutely phenomenal. The girls are really starting to hit their peaks as we head into the halfway point of the season and close to championship season.†A few personal records and highlights from the GBL trimeet: • Senior captain Liv Yuong was the top scorer with three fi rst-place fi nishes (55-meter hurdles, high jump and long jump), scoring 15 points total in each meet. • Junior Olivia Rupp continued her league dominance in the mile with a 5:52.17 fi nish for fi rst place in both meets. • Junior Gemma Stamatopoulos also continued her league dominance in the 600-meter with a 1:48.77 finish and a second-place height of 4-10 in the high jump. Both she and Yuong were cut off in the high jump at 4-10 due to a mechanical error. “I’m confi dent they would’ve both continued to jump well into the meet,†Ciambelli-MacDonald said. • Two newcomers to the 600-meter, Zizi Kalliavas and Amina Larzhal, also had a great fi nish, both running below 2:03 for the sweep in both meets. • Senior captain Francoise Kodjo took fi rst in the shotput with a new PR of 27-9. • Other fi rst-place fi nishes included senior captain Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez in the 55-meter dash, Rania Hamdani in the 300-meter and Gigi Zierten in the 1,000-meter. During this past weekend, Revere also had several girls participate in the MSTCA Northeast Invitational: • Yuong hit season PRs in all three of her events: 9.78 in the 55-meter hurdles (30th overall), 15-10.50 in the long jump (10th overall) and only a half-inch off her own school record, 1511. In the high jump, she took third overall, clearing 5-0. “It was a huge day for Liv overall,†Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “Her ability to perform in multiple events at these meets really shows her overall endurance as well. We expect big things from her come championships season.†• Stamatopoulos and Rupp took on a new event for both of them: the 1,000. “They both absolutely shined and ran excellent times,†their coach said. Stamatopoulos took 39th overall with a time of 3:23.77, and Olivia took 45th overall with a time of 3:25.79. “As training partners, I knew that this 1,000-meter race was exactly what they needed to better their times in the mile and the 600,†Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “Olivia was able to focus on a shorter race and better prepare for the third quarter of the mile. Gemma’s heat was very clumped, and she had to spare a lot of energy in order to avoid a box-in. I’m confi dent her time in a more spread-out race would have been closer to 3:20.†• Junior Hamdani ran a huge lifetime PR in the 300-meter and broke 47 seconds. Her time of 46.27 was good for 57th overall in a fi eld of over 300 girls. “This puts her right at the top of the GBL in this event which is so exciting,†Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “Sophomore Zizi Kalliavas also ran a PR in the 300-meter with a time of 50.03.†• Junior Aida Louaddi also threw for a PR in the shotput with a toss of 23-05. All four Revere throwers (Caleigh Joyce, Francoise Kodjo and Jocelyn Lazo) cracked the top 100. “Overall, we had some stellar performances at this massive meet,†Ciambelli-MacDonald said. “Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings.†Revere takes on Lynn English and Chelsea on Thursday, Jan. 16 [before press deadline]. The Skin Cancer Foundation shares sun protection tips for winter sports enthusiasts What to know about protecting your skin during colder months A s fall turns to winter, we start to experience cooler weather and fewer sunlight hours. It can be tempting to slack off on sun protection when we feel cold, but protecting yourself from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays is imperative year-round — especially if you plan to spend time outdoors skiing, snowboarding or engaging in another coldweather sport. “Frostbite and windburn are common concerns for winter athletes, but people often don’t realize that the sun’s UV rays can be just as damaging on the slopes as they are on the beach,†says The Skin Cancer Foundation President Deborah S. Sarnoff , MD. “The science shows that it’s important to practice proper sun protection all year, even in cold or cloudy weather.†Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays, which lead to tanning, dark spots and wrinkles, remain constant throughout the year and can penetrate through clouds and fog. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which are mainly responsible for sunburn, are the strongest in the summer. However, UVB rays can burn and damage your skin during winter, too, especially if you’re around reflective surfaces, such as snow or ice. Snow refl ects up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV light, so the rays hit you twice, further increasing your risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Skiers and snowboarders are at an even greater risk because these sports take place at a higher altitude, where the thinner atmosphere absorbs fewer of the sun’s rays. UV radiation exposure increases 4 to 5 percent with every 1,000 feet above sea level. In addition to causing premature skin aging, unprotected sun exposure is also a serious risk factor for skin cancer. About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 86 percent of melanomas are associated with exposure to UV radiation from the sun, which is why it’s imperative to protect yourself no matter the season. How to protect yourself when enjoying winter sports Your first line of defense against sun damage is clothing. Covering up is easier when it’s cold. However, your face, head and neck tend to remain exposed year-round, and this is where most skin cancers occur. Skiers and snowboarders are ahead of the game when they protect their scalps with a helmet and their eyes with goggles. Almost all goggles available today are made of polycarbonate, which filters out 100 percent of UV rays. For the moments when you’re not actively fl ying down the slope, don’t forget your UV-blocking sunglasses, which protect your eyes while also fi ghting snow glare, and a hat to protect your head and hairline. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 or higher daily to all exposed skin and make sure to cover often-missed spots like the tops of your ears, around the eyes and near the hairline. Consider choosing a moisturizing sunscreen with ingredients like lanolin or glycerin to combat dry winter skin. Finally, try to avoid the peak sun hours (generally between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the winter months) and seek shade when you can. Winter is approaching, but that’s no reason to let up on the sun-safe habits you practiced during the summer. Continuing sun protection eff orts through the colder, cloudier months of the year reduces your risk of premature skin aging and developing the world’s most common cancer. About The Skin Cancer Foundation The Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofi t organization, saves and improves lives by empowering people to take a proactive approach to daily sun protection and the early detection and treatment of skin cancer.

Maura Healey signed several bills into law last week including: DRUG COSTS AND INDUSTRY TRANSPARENCY — Gov. Maura Healey signed into law legislation (S 3012) that supporters say would lower the cost of prescription drugs. Provisions include requiring insurers to eliminate cost-sharing requirements for one generic drug and to cap co-payments on one brand-name drug at $25 per 30-day supply for diabetes, asthma and certain heart conditions. It also ensures that consumers are not charged a co-pay if it would be cheaper for them to purchase a drug without using their insurance. Another provision requires insurers to provide continuity of coverage for new members’ existing prescriptions when they switch to a new plan. She also signed into law another bill (H 5159) that that supporters say will enhance the market review process and close loopholes in the health care market regulatory process, including gaps in oversight that were exploited for years by Steward Health Care and Ralph de la Torre. This measure expands the scope of data collection and public review of health care and health care transactions by the Health Policy Commission (HPC) and the Center for Health Analysis and Information with the goal of increasing visibility and accountability for transactions involving private owners of health care resources. It also includes a provision establishing a primary care task force, co-chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh and the Executive Director of the HPC. The task force will study primary care access, delivery and payment, develop recommendations to stabilize and strengthen the primary care system, increase recruitment and increase fi nancial investment and patient access. “We know that one of the biggest strains on Massachusetts family’s budgets is the high health care costs,†said Gov. Healey. “These new laws will lower out-of-pocket costs by capping copays at $25 for lifesaving prescription medications and increasing transparency in the industry. They also close loopholes in our regulatory processes so that for-profi t providers like Steward Health Care are subject to the same transparency rules as non-profi t providers. As attorney general, I spent years in court trying to hold Steward to this standard, and I’m glad that our laws will no longer be exploited in this way.†“The bills signed by Gov. Healey today represent the Legislature’s enduring commitment to protecting patients, bringing down cost growth and to fostering greater stability and accountability within the health care system,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Before Steward Health Care ultimately collapsed, executives spent years hiding their fi nancial information from state regulators, putting patients and our health care system at risk. That’s why ensuring that our institutions are equipped to monitor the health care landscape, and to guard against trends and transactions that drive up costs without improving patient outcomes, is so important.†“These laws are an important step toward transparency and accountability for our health care system, and making medications more affordable,†said Secretary Kate Walsh. “We know primary care access is a critical component of health equity, so I’m especially looking forward to the commitment of strengthening our primary care system to help more people in Massachusetts live healthy lives.†ROSA PARKS DAY (H 3075) — Gov. Healey signed into law a bill establishing February 4 as Rosa Parks in recognition of the historic civil rights leader. Co-sponsor Rep. Mike Kushmerek (D-Fitchburg) said the measure will bring awareness and representation to the heroic actions of Rosa Parks during the Civil Rights Movement. “February 4th is the birthday of Rosa Parks, so it will be a great reminder to all those within the commonwealth to refl ect on the role she played in raising international awareness of the struggles for civil rights,†said Kushmerek. PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (H 4937) — Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would repeal a current state law which creates professional licensure consequences for anyone who defaults on their student loan. Under current law, a borrower’s state-issued professional or occupational certificate, registration or license can be suspended, revoked or canceled if the borrower is in default on an education loan. “Current laws are potentially harmful to the more than one million student loan borrowers in the commonwealth,†said sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins (D-Leominster). “With all of the uncertainty around the federal student loan forgiveness and repayment plans, now more than ever, we need to protect student loan borrowers and ensure they can continue their work and have the ability to repay their student loan debt.†ID FOR LIQUOR PURCHASES (H 4131) — Gov. Healey signed into law a measure that would allow alcohol-serving establishments to accept all out-ofstate motor vehicle licenses and Global Entry cards issued by the United States Customs and Border Protection. “Massachusetts has been the only state in the entire United States that did not permit retailers of alcohol beverages to rely on a valid out-ofstate ID for the purchase of alcoholic beverages,†said a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Package Stores Association (MASSPACK), a nonprofi t trade organization representing locally owned retailers of beer, wine and spirits headquartered in Massachusetts. “This regulation was archaic and irrational. It also impeded commerce across the state.†“This vitally important economic measure will support our restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues as they continue to fully recover from losses experienced during the pandemic and allow our out-of-state visitors to enjoy a drink, if they choose,†said House sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). DECLAWING OF CATS (S 2552) — Gov. Healey signed into law a measure that would ban cat declawing and tendonectomy unless it is done for the medical need of the feline. The measure imposes a fi ne on off enders of up to $1,000 for a fi rst off ense, $1,500 for a second off ense and $2,500 for a third or subsequent off ense. Supporters said that declawing a cat involves amputating the last bone of each toe, which if performed on a human would be equivalent to cutting off each fi nger at the last knuckle. They noted that according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the physical side eff ects from declawing include both acute and chronic pain, improperly healed wounds, sudden loss of blood, impaired immune response and behavioral side eff ects include biting. “Declawing is an abhorrent practice that most veterinarians view as inhumane,†said sponsor Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford). “This is another step in my commitment to protect animals in the commonwealth. As a state we have done far too little to punish heartless abusers and to push back against a weak court system that has too often failed to hold them accountable.†PROTECT CATS AND DOGS (S 2908) — Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would prohibit the sale or transfer of any puppies and kittens under eight weeks old. Violators would be fi ned $100 per animal. When the animal is more than eight weeks old, the outright ban is lifted and replaced with a section that would prohibit the sale or transfer of any dogs or cats at specifi ed outdoor locations, such as flea markets and roadsides. This prohibition would not apply to the transfer of a dog or cat by, or to, a shelter, animal control or animal rescue; or to the display of a dog or cat as part of a state or county fair exhi׉ Ú7cassandra://osQfodEMwbI01bDHQmoGmo8emCpwCPAlHHyTPONgHqYÍ/²Í`ÌÔÍ×g‰[‡5ç=ï /׉EÚ#qTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2025 Page 19 bition, a 4-H program or similar exhibition or educational program. Violators would be fi ned $50 per animal for a fi rst off ense, $100 for a second offense and $300 for a third and subsequent off ense. “Early separation of puppies and kittens from their mother, and the unregulated roadside sale of dogs and cats, are practices that often lead to serious health or behavioral problems for the animal and no recourse for the new owner,†said sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld). “I was proud to fi le this legislation in the Senate this session and am glad that it is one step closer to becoming law and establishing new protections for animals throughout the commonwealth.†RENAME THE OFFICE OF ELDER AFFAIRS (S 3006) — Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that would change the name of the Executive Offi ce of Elder Affairs to the Executive Offi ce of Aging and Independence. The proposal also replaces outdated language in the state’s lawbooks, including changing “elderly persons,†to “older adults†and “handicapped†to “adults with a disability.†The new legislation also incorporates genderneutral language into current law. The original version of the bill was fi led by Gov. Healey in May. “Our population of adults aged 60+ continues to grow, and it is essential that we evolve to meet the changing needs of this group,†said Gov. Healey. “We want residents to feel refl ected in our agencies and to know where to turn when they need support. I look forward to seeing the work that our incredible team at the Executive Offi ce of Aging and Independence will do for the people of Massachusetts.†ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL $5 MILLION FOR ENHANCED SECURITY — The Healey Administration announced nearly $5 million in grants to support more than 100 nonprofit organizations, at high risk of hate crimes or terror attacks, by enhancing their security. The announcement follows the release of the 2023 Hate Crime Report for Massachusetts by the Executive Offi ce of Public Safety and Security. The report documented 557 hate crime reports statewide —a 26.6 percent increase from 440 in 2022. As in previous years, the most common bias motivation in 2023 was based on race, ethnicity or national origin, accounting for 45.1 percent of all incidents. Anti-Jewish off enses which rose from 70 in 2022 to 119 in 2023 saw the sharpest increase. “These organizations off er comfort, services, community and support to those they serve. Our administration is committed to ensuring nonprofi ts and all who gather in these spaces are protected from hate and extremist violence,†said Gov. Healey. “Everyone deserves to safely practice their chosen faith, access health care, seek services and gather in community spaces free from the threat of harm.†ADOPT EMERGENCY REGULATIONS TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE — The Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Board of Registration in Nursing approved emergency amendments to regulations that will protect nurses from disqualification from licensure and from board discipline for providing, or assisting in providing, reproductive health care services in the Bay State. “When Roe was overturned, we worked with the Legislature to take immediate action to protect providers and patients from liability for providing or receiving an abortion,†said Gov. Healey. “Today, with attacks on reproductive health care and providers escalating across the country, we’re proud to take action to further strengthen those protections. We’re always going to protect people’s rights and freedoms, and we’re going to make sure that everyone can access the high-quality health care they need.†“Our nurses and other providers should not fear discipline or legal action for providing essential health care,†said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “Approving these emergency regulations … will further ensure that Massachusetts remains a place that everyone can access comprehensive reproductive health care services, including abortion care.†AGREEMENT ON $43.613 BILLIOM IN REVENUE IN FISCAL YEAR 2006 — Gov. Healey’s Secretary of Administration and Finance Matthew Gorzkowicz, House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz and Senate Ways and Means Chair Mike Rodrigues agreed on a consensus revenue forecast for fiscal year 2026 of $43.613 billion. “This consensus revenue estimate for fi scal year 2026 responsibly refl ects our current economic environment,†said Gorzkowicz. “While our economy and revenues over the past couple years have continued to grow, the post-pandemic rate of growth has slowed and our budgeting must adjust accordingly budgeting process.†“This fi scal year 2026 consensus revenue fi gure will allow the Legislature and the Healey-Driscoll administration to collectively construct a reasonable and suitable budget for the upcoming fiscal year,†said Michlewitz. “By being ever watchful of the commonwealth’s fi nances and basing the budget on a judicious consensus revenue fi gure, we will be able to make fiscally sound decisions over the next few months as we work to make the critical investments that our constituents deserve.†“Rooted in sound fi scal decision making, the fi scal year 2026 consensus revenue estimate reflects our ongoing efforts to tighten our belts BEACON | SEE Page 20 Does Medicare Cover Talk Therapy Services? Dear Savvy Senior, What types of mental health services does Medicare cover? I struggle with anxiety and depression, and my primary care provider recommended I see a therapist or psychiatrist. Anxious Annie Dear Annie, Medicare actually covers both outpatient and inpatient mental health care services and programs to help benefi ciaries with anxiety, depression and many other mental health needs. Here what you should know. Outpatient Coverage If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, your Part B coverage will pay 80 percent (after you’ve met your annual $257 Part B deductible) for a variety of counseling and mental health care services that are provided outside a hospital, such as in a doctor or therapist’s offi ce, hospital outpatient department or community health center. These services can also be received via telehealth. You, or your Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, is responsible for the remaining 20 percent coinsurance. Medicare also gives you the expanded option of getting treatment through a variety of health professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical nurse specialists, clinical social workers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors. To get this coverage, you’ll need to choose a participating provider that accepts Medicare assignment, which means they accept Medicare’s approved amount as full payment for a service. If you choose a nonparticipating provider who accepts Medicare but does not agree to Medicare’s payment rate, you may have to pay more. And if you choose an opt-out provider that does not accept Medicare payments at all, you will be responsible for the entire cost. To locate a mental health care professional in your area that accepts Medicare, go to Medicare.gov/care-compare, click on “doctors & clinicians†and type in your location, followed by “clinical psychologist†or “psychiatry†in the Name & Keyword box. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. Inpatient Coverage If you happen to need mental health services in either a general or psychiatric hospital, original Medicare Part A covers this too, after you’ve met your $1,676 Part A deductible. Your doctor should determine which hospital setting you need. If you receive care in a psychiatric hospital, Medicare covers up to 190 days of inpatient care for your lifetime. And if you use your lifetime days but need additional care, Medicare may cover additional inpatient care at a general hospital. Additional Coverage In addition to the outpatient and inpatient mental health services, Medicare also covers yearly depression screenings that must be done in a primary care doctor’s offi ce or clinic. Annual depression screenings are covered 100 percent. And if you have a Medicare prescription drug plan, most medications used to treat mental health conditions are covered too. Medicare Advantage Coverage If you get your Medicare benefi ts through a private Medicare Advantage plan, they too provide the same coverage as original Medicare does, but may impose diff erent rules and will likely require you to see an in-network provider. You’ll need to contact your plan directly for details. For more information, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and request a copy of publication #10184 “Medicare & Your Mental Health Benefi ts,†or you can read it online at Medicare.gov.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been 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 Jan. 6-10, the House a met for a total of ten minutes while the Senate met for a total of 25 minutes. Mon.

State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bonnie Heiple, and Chief Fire Warden David Celino of the Department of Conservation & Recreation said restrictions on open burning are imposed at the state and local levels. “Open burning season begins January 15 in communities where it’s allowed,†said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Even where burning is authorized, a permit from your local fire department is always required in advance and it’s your responsibility to be able to extinguish the fi re on a moment’s notice. For two years in a row, Massachusetts residents have lost their lives when they couldn’t contain their fi res — please make safety your priority when burning.†“Open burning is limited to protect public health and public safety,†said MassDEP Commissioner Heiple. “The governing laws and regulations are in place to reduce air pollution, property damage, and personal injury. If open burning is allowed in your community, please follow the local and state guidance to keep yourself, your neighbors, and our environment safe.†“This fall, residents across Massachusetts saw just how quickly outdoor fi res can grow out of control,†said Chief Fire Warden Celino. “Right now, California is facing an even worse crisis with devastating fi res consuming entire neighborhoods. Please don’t risk a fi re that puts you, your home, or your community at risk. Burn only approved materials and always get a permit from your local fi re department fi rst.†These restrictions are authorized by 310 CMR 7.07, which sets baseline requirements based on air quality and allows for “no burn†days; MGL chapter 48, section 13, which prohibits any open air fi re unless a permit is issued; and the Massachusetts Comprehensive Fire Safety Code, which gives local fi re chiefs the authority to impose additional limits. Open burning is prohibited year-round in the cities and towns of Arlington, Belmont, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Chicopee, Everett, Fall River, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Malden, Medford, New Bedford, Newton, Somerville, Springfi eld, Waltham, Watertown, West Springfi eld, and Worcester. In the remaining communities, open burning season runs from January 15 through May 1 with the following limitations. Local fi re departments may deny a permit or set additional limitations if circumstances make open burning hazardous. Only certain agricultural waste may be burned. This includes brush, cane, driftwood, residential forestry debris, fruit tree and bush prunings, raspberry stalks, infected bee hives, trees and brush from agricultural land clearing, and fungus-infected elm wood if no other acceptable means of disposal is available. It is unlawful to burn leaves, grass, hay, stumps, tires, household trash, construction materials, demolition debris, or brush, trees, cane, or driftwood from commercial or industrial land clearing. Open burning may only be conducted: • With a permit issued in advance by the local fi re department; • Between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.; • At least 75 feet from all dwellings and without causing a nuisance; • As close as possible to the source of material being burned; and • When it will not cause or contribute to a condition of air pollution. Persons who burn unlawfully or allow a fi re to grow out of control could be held liable for fi refi ghting costs or face fi nes or even jail time. Open Burning Safety • An adult should tend to the fi re at all times and keep tools to extinguish it close by. • Burn small amounts at a time. • Never use gasoline, kerosene, or other accelerants to start the fi re. • Don’t wait for the fi re department to tell you that it has become unsafe to burn: put the fi re out if winds pick up or the weather changes. Most fi res get out of control during sudden wind changes. • If the fi re gets out of control, call the local fire department right away. ~ School Bus Drivers Wanted ~ 7D Licensed School Bus Drivers Malden Trans is looking for reliable drivers for the new school year.
