Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky, who lives in and represents the neighborhood, also expressed concerns about noise. “It’s a family-orientated neighborhood,†said Novoselsky. “I think 1 o’clock with music during the week is too late.

Representative Turco and Councillor McKenna held a meeting on Short Beach to discuss the damaged seawall alongside members from Congresswoman Clark’s offi ce. The Beachmont community has raised concerns over the long-standing issue surrounding the solidity of the seawall. The structural integrity of the wall has weakened over the years, and after many storms, there is apparent maintenance that needs to be done. The goal is to be proactive and prepared; they must not wait for an emergency to tell them that something has to be done. The seawall needs to be done out of necessity to protect and preserve Revere DAN RIZZO Candidate for Mayor referred to as “quality of life issues†that our residents depend on our DPW for. neighborhoods. “This work for the seawall has been a long time coming, and it’s a very important issue of safety for the people of Beachmont,†said McKenna.

Overall, it has been a relatively mild summer, temperature-wise, climbing to 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above just two days this summer. A major contributing factor to the lack of high temperatures this summer has been the proliferation of rainy days – 12 days in June and 12 days so far in July. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has issued a Heat Advisory for nearly all of the state, including here in Eastern Mass. in Middlesex, Suff olk and Essex Counties, which includes the entire Advocate readership area of Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus.

The National Weather Service also issued a Heat Advisory beginning late Wednesday through Saturday. The heat advisory is meant to put residents on alert about heat-related illnesses, like heat stroke and dehydration. In Malden, due to predicted high temperatures, the City of Malden has made a variety of cooling options available around the city Wednesday, July 26 through today, Friday, July 28. The Malden Senior Community Center located at 7 Washington St., and fully airconditioned, is open between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to residents seeking relief from the heat. Additionally, two outdoor water misting stations are open during those same days and times. The two locations will be at the Linden School (Basketball Court side) and at Macdonald Stadium (Building Side). City offi cials encourage residents with children to seek out our two public recreational water facilities: the Holland Memorial Pool on Mountain Avenue and the Splash Pad at Lincoln Commons. In Revere, Outdoor Cooling Stations were activated at the following locations – Costa Park, Sonny Myers Park, West Revere Complex and Harry Della Russo Stadium – from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. At each site there will be misting fans, water and sunscreen. City officials in Everett and Saugus also urged residents to take precautions and keep a watch on children, the elderly and pets during the predicted heat wave. For the official heat wave designation, there needs to be three consecutive days of 90 degree, or higher, readings. Last summer, we hit 90 degrees or greater 21 times and had two heat waves: one in July (for seven days) and one in August (for six days). A heat advisory was in place for both Thursday and Friday, which means heat-related illnesses can occur more easily under these conditions. Make sure to stay hydrated, seek shade and air conditioning, and check up on family, friends and neighbors. Remember: Young kids and pets should never be left in vehicles. On Saturday, a cold front arrives at the surface from the Northwest, triggering more storms after high temperatures reach 90 degrees again for parts of southern New England. New air arrives behind the cold front on Sunday, which means lower humidity, lots of sunshine and noticeably cooler temperatures, around 80.

Communities are being impacted throughout the state of Massachusetts by rising sea levels. The coastal communities are seeing the impact at a much faster rate due to the close proximity to the ocean. The seawall is a crucial layer of protection, as it breaks the waves and slows them down before they reach the road and homes on the other side.

One Saugus High School grad had that great fortune. John Antonopoulos, a 1970 SHS Graduate, who is more commonly referred to around the world as Johnny A., did and continues to do so, 50 years later! Over the course of his career, Johnny has performed as both a solo artist and a member of other bands. Some notable bands he has been a member of were the Peter Wolf Band (J. Geils frontman) and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band The Yardbirds. The name “Johnny A.†might not be mainstream, but there’s no doubt it’s synonymous with guitar. Bitten at an early age by the desire to perform like his idols (Clapton, Beck and Page), he never relented. A devotee of the 1960s British Invasion, it gave him a goal. By the 1970s, he was performing throughout the New England area, drawing attention from established musicians, like Derek & The Dominos’ keyboardist Bobby Whitlock and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Doug Cliff ord. All this is to say that Johnny A. has the chops, and that’s not to mention his prolifi c solo career. Spanning three full-length albums, Johnny A. has earned a Grammy Award nomination, the honor of Boston Music Awards, “Blues Artist of the Year 2010,†and a spot in the revered Boston Music Hall of Fame.

The spate of shootings is a crisis that demands immediate action. We cannot aff ord to turn a blind eye to the pain and suffering caused by senseless violence. As a society, we must engage in meaningful conversations, involving community leaders, law enforcement (local & state), and residents, to craft comprehensive solutions tailored to our unique challenges. Prevention must be at the core of our approach. To address the root causes of these shootings, we need to invest in social programs that target at-risk individuals, especially our youth. By providing access to education, mentorship, and mental health resources, we can create a nurturing environment that fosters hope, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Additionally, we must strengthen the collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. Trust and transparency are essential to fostering positive relationships. Implementing community policing initiatives, where officers are actively engaged with residents, will not only enhance public safety but also build mutual respect. Equally important is tackling the proliferation of illegal fi rearms. Stricter gun control measures must be pursued at both local and national levels. We need to close loopholes in existing laws, enforce background checks rigorously, and support research into smart gun technology to prevent unauthorized use. Another vital aspect is investing in technology and intelligence-driven strategies to combat crime. Embracing modern surveillance and data analytics can help identify crime trends, enabling a more targeted and effi cient allocation of resources. Finally, we must engage the community in ongoing dialogues to promote a culture of peace and unity. Encouraging active participation in neighborhood watch programs, community meetings, and confl ict resolution workshops can foster a collective sense of responsibility for the safety of our streets. As your Councillor at Large, I commit to working tirelessly to champion these initiatives. Together, we can build safer communities, where every resident can pursue their dreams without fear. Let us unite under the banner of compassion, understanding, and progress, as we strive for a future where every year shooting is nothing but a distant memory.

That's why the arrival of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern MA (BBBSEM) and their transformative Big Futures Mentoring (BFM) program at Revere High School this Fall of 2023 is a game-changer for the community. With the promise of oneon-one mentorship for 100 9th graders, this initiative has the potential to change lives, empower the future leaders of tomorrow, and drive positive change within our community. Mentorship is not just about offering guidance; it is about providing inspiration, motivation, and unwavering support. By matching students with dynamic and caring mentors, BBBSEM's BFM program can be a turning point in the lives of these young minds. Many students may face obstacles or lack clear direction during their high school journey, but with the guidance of a mentor, they can fi nd the courage to explore new pathways and seize local opportunities they never knew existed. Our community's leaders, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and companies hold a wealth of knowledge and experience, and it is heartening to see them stepping forward to contribute to the development of our youth. Through BFM's events, these local champions will expose students to a myriad of possibilities, igniting their passion and broadening their horizons. By off ering fi rst-hand insights into diverse fi elds and industries, these events will enable our young minds to envision futures fi lled with potential and promise. Mentoring is a catalyst for positive change. Studies consistently show that students who receive mentorship are more likely to stay engaged in school, set higher goals for their future, and achieve greater success in both academics and personal life. BBBSEM's long-standing reputation for fostering impactful mentor-mentee relationships makes their presence in Revere all the more exciting. The success of this endeavor is not solely reliant on BBBSEM and the mentors they recruit. It requires the collective eff ort of brighter future for Revere.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Release Set for August 2 American Tortoise Rescue Asks Parents to Buy Toys Not Turtles Malibu, CA – American Tortoise Rescue (ATR), founded in 1990 as the fi rst national turtle and tortoise rescue, is sending a plea to parents – buy Ninja toys not turtles. History shows that after the release of a series of these successful Ninja movies, turtles lose their lives through the pet trade. Most of the turtles have been scooped out of the wild to be sold in pet stores or over the internet. After seeing the fi lm and thinking real turtles jump through the air or fl y like ninja turtles, kids ask parents to buy live turtles. Sadly, after bringing the turtle home, sticking it in a tank and waiting for it to perform, kids abandon interest when nothing happens – the turtle just sits there. The best thing parents can do is to purchase action fi gure toys that actually mimic the ninja movements kids see in the fi lm. “I like to say putting a turtle in a tank is how we would feel if we had to live in a bathtub forever. After the hugely successful release of previous fi lms, turtles, most commonly the red eared slider or box turtle, were purchased by the thousands for children who wanted their own ninja turtle. The purchase is often an impulse buy without regard to the fact that turtles can live 25 years or more. Sadly, most of these turtles were abandoned in shelters and rescues or dumped into lakes and waterways (or worse toilets) after the movie’s young fans found out that the real turtles did not fi ght crime or perform incredible stunts. Tellem says that this proved disastrous for thousands of turtles. “Red eared sliders easily identifi able because of the red stripe next to their eyes, are the most common turtles given up for adoption,†she said. “We recommend only adopting turtles to people with private ponds where they can mimic their natural habitat. We along with many rescues around the world have to turn away thousands of turtles because we are at capacity. Unfortunately, no one tells the potential owner that these turtles grow to be anywhere from six to 12 inches and live long lives instead of staying that cute little quarter or palm size,†Tellem said. ׉ Ú7cassandra://sgal5zGuiDSAg4g2FpukPcmS4yP_68I1_d7UhMazLiEÍ)öÍ`Ì°Í×dÂáIF×–0?H6.׉EÚÁTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2023 Page 17 HONOR | FROM Page 1 with whom he shares a house in Saugus, said.

He favors having a full-time social services officer to deal with some city issues and problems among residents. “We are at a crossroad in society on how we handle issues. We can only do what we can do, but we can at least do our part to be part of the solution.†His views on police and public safety are part of his central campaign theme that city services have not kept up with what he describes as the city’s “overdevelopment.†He is critical of the zoning board of appeals and feels variances for development are being rubber stamped. “It’s important to match services with the needs of the city,†he said adding he intends to get to the point where the city is providing adequate services. He sees the ongoing development and fi nancial strains as challenges to providing what residents need and expect. The new high school is a major issue and Rizzo admits he’s been part of the heated discussions about the project. He favors building on the existing site. He said the misinformation about eminent domain being needed at the existing site and the cost of the project have been frustrating. Rizzo called the Wonderland site and the pending eminent domain lawsuit a “wildcard.†“That’s something we need to fi gure out with the city and the former owners,†he said. In 1986, Rizzo launched Rizzo Insurance Group with his brother and father. His decades in business have given him a practical outlook on municipal fi nance issues. He calls local government a common-sense affair, nothing more, nothing less. Rizzo is critical about the way the city has deployed some of its resources. “There’s tremendous talent in the public works department but we’re contracting out far too much work and paying top dollar to subcontractors,†he said. “There are a lot of services we can bring in house.†He also questions the way the Revere has handled the development of the Haas Wellness Center and the fact that the city is paying thousands of dollars for a building in which nothing is happening.

My husband was recently diagnosed with macular degeneration, which has deteriorated his central vision, and he’s become very discouraged. Worried Wife Dear Worried, I’m very sorry to hear about your husband’s eye condition. Unfortunately, there are about 20 million Americans living with macular degeneration today. Over time, this progressive disease can rob people of their central vision, making everyday tasks like driving a car, reading a magazine or watching television extremely challenging. Here are some tips and resources that can help. Low Vision Help If your husband hasn’t already done so, he needs to see a low-vision specialist for a comprehensive examination. Low-vision specialists are ophthalmologist or optometrist with additional credentials or specialization in low vision testing, diagnosis, and treatment. A low vision exam, which is much diff erent from a typical eye exam, will explore how your husband’s eye condition is affecting his day-to-day life, how he’s adapting emotionally and prescribe solutions to help him regain as much day-to-day functioning as possible. Your next step is to get your husband to a nearby vision rehabilitation service. These services, which are run by state or nonprofi t organizations, or private eye care clinics, help people with all types of uncorrectable vision impairments. Most state and nonprofi t services are free or lowcost, while private clinics typically charge a fee or may accept Medicare. While vision rehabilitation does not restore lost sight, it does help people maximize their existing sight, or, if they have no vision, it can equip them with techniques and tools to help them maintain an independent lifestyle. Services include counseling, along with training on how to perform daily living tasks with low vision, and how to use visual and adaptive devices and assistive technologies that can help improve quality of life. They also offer guidance for adapting your home that will make it safer and easier for your husband to maneuver and can help him locate low-vision support groups. Some agencies will even send their specialist out to work with him in the comfort of your own home. To fi nd a vision rehabilitation service near you ask your husband’s eye doctor for a referral, or you can locate services yourself by calling the American Printing House (APH) Connect Center at 800-232-5463. Online Tools Another convenient place to get help for your husband is online at VisionAware (VisionAware. org). This free website that’s part of the APH Connect Center is specifi cally designed for older adults new to vision loss. It provides information on eye diseases and disorders, along with dozens of practical tips, information and instructional videos on living with vision loss. These include concepts for adapting your home to make it easier to navigate, techniques for traveling safely outside the home, and various tips on how to manage things like fi nances, medications, and other tasks such as cooking, cleaning, grooming, reading, writing, doing hobbies and more. VisionAware also provides a comprehensive list of more than 2,000 low vision agencies and organizations across the country that’s searchable by state or category. Another terrifi c low vision resource that’s available to your husband is Hadley (Hadley.edu), which is a nonprofit organization and partner of the National Eye Institute and the National Eye Health Education Program. Hadley off ers online discussion groups, audio podcasts and dozens of free online workshop videos to help empower the blind and visually impaired. With Hadley, your husband will learn new ways to do things that have become more diffi cult due to his vision loss and connect him with a network of peers who understand what he’s going through.

Labor Force Overview The June estimates show 3,624,900 Massachusetts residents were employed and 96,000 were unemployed, for a total labor force of 3,721,000. The unemployment rate at 2.6 percent was down 0.2 percentage points from the revised May rate of 2.8 percent. Overthe-month, the June labor force declined by 7,400 from 3,728,300 in May, with 2,100 more residents employed and 9,500 fewer residents unemployed. The labor force participation rate, the share of workgarden would draw people and would not require much infrastructure. Laura Christopher of MassDevelopment, which is helping to fund and plan the project, echoed that intention. “We see this as a great opportunity to pull together people in the area, especially new residents, and support local business,†she said, adding that after the beer garden closes, the hope is people will continue on to other businesses in the neighborhood that are open later.

The Commission agreed and the Partnership has been granted a license for four events before a review to see if any changes are needed. ing age population employed and unemployed, dropped 0.1 percentage point overthe-month at 64.6 percent. The labor force was down 33,800 from the June 2022 estimate of 3,754,800, with 10,200 more employed residents, and 44,000 fewer unemployed residents.

Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham) fi led and gained approval for several amendments in the Senate budget. “I secured these amendments to further bolster the demonstrated commitment to our shared values built into the base budget that came to the fl oor,†said Rausch. “Whether in health care, education or otherwise, my amendments advance justice, fairness and equity.†Here are three of her amendments: $300,000 FOR WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE CELEBRATION IN BAY STATE (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved $300,000 to fund the Women’s Suff rage Celebration. Amendment supporters say the celebration will honor the history of women’s activism and contributions to civics and democracy in Massachusetts. They note the funds will help create the Massachusetts Women’s History Center and Massachusetts Women’s Hall of Fame -- inspiring generations of women and girls to pursue their passions and paths forward. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $350,000 FOR MATERNAL MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY REVIEW COMMITTEE (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an American Exterior and Window Corporation amendment funding $350,000 for the operation of and hiring of additional personnel for the Massachusetts Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee to enhance the committee’s ability to comprehensively review deaths and complications that occur during or within one year of pregnancy. Amendment supporters say that maternal morbidity and mortality remain serious issues in Massachusetts and note that signifi cant inequities in maternal health persist. They argue that one of the best tools to improve maternal health outcomes is to strengthen and empower the committee and make advances in eff orts to improve pregnancy care access, quality, outcomes and equity. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $150,000 FOR HOPE AND COMFORT TO ADDRESS HYGIENE INSECURITY (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved $150,000 to fund Hope and Comfort – the state’s largest organization that addresses hygiene insecurity by providing low-income people with soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and other personal hygiene items. Amendment supporters say that last year, Hope and Comfort provided people with more than 2 million hygiene products. They note that this is still not enough, especially because these basic hygiene items are not covered by government support programs like SNAP or WIC. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Sen.

Jo Comerford (DNorthampton) and Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox) in testimony to the committee. “These programs will encourage increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. Particularly for families struggling to aff ord fresh food, the Farm to School grants can expand the availability of nourishing meals for vulnerable students. The grant program will also yield economic benefi ts to the agricultural sector, increasing demand for locally produced products and strengthening our farm communitiesâ€. SUNSCREEN LOTION (S 258) – Would allow any person, including students, parents and school personnel to possess and use a topical sunscreen product without a physician’s note or prescription while on school property or at a school-related event or activity to avoid overexposure to the sun. The product must be one that is regulated by the Federal Food and Drug Administration for overthe-counter use. “Routine application of sunscreen is essential to promoting health and reducing the risk of melanoma, the most commonly diagnosed cancer in children,†said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (DTruro). “I fi led [the bill] to ensure students have the ability to use sunscreen during the school day without a physician’s prescription.†AIR TEMPERATURES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (S 322) - Would create a 15-member special commission to study the regulation of minimum and maximum allowable air temperatures in public school classrooms and facilities. The commission would gather any relevant statistics on the number of air-conditioned public schools in Massachusetts; the impact of indoor air quality on children, including children with respiratory conditions or special needs; and the state’s funding and bidding processes for installing air conditioning and heating upgrades in public schools. “This bill was fi led after several constituents in the educational fi eld brought this issue to our attention,†said sponsor Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “In particular, the very beginning and very end of each school year is frequently accompanied by stifl ing classrooms, while the winter months can see frigid temperatures. Not only do these extreme temperatures create a distraction for both teachers and students, but this study aims to look at the potential health impacts that could result from failing to address this issue. This study will give the Legislature a complete picture of this topic and allow for more eff ective future policy.†UNIVERSAL SCHOOL MEALS (S 261) – Would indefi nitely provide free breakfast and lunch to every child in a Massachusetts K-12 school. Supporters noted that schools across the state provided Universal School Meals during the pandemic because the costs for this program were temporarily funded by the federal government. They said that in 2022, however, federal support for the program was cut off , but funding was secured in last year’s state budget to continue funding free school meals. They noted the bill would continue the program indefi nitely without having to reauthorize it each year. “We have heard time and again from educators, advocates and parents, that kids cannot learn when they are hungry,†said sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “Providing free breakfast and lunch in schools will empower all our students to study, focus and live up to their full potential. It is past time, in the year 2023, that we fi nally pass my commonsense bill into law and ensure no child will ever go hungry in a Massachusetts school again.†MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN SCHOOLS (H 494) – Would require each public school district to appoint one or more full time school psychologists and one or more full time school social workers to provide mental health services to all students in grades K-12. “Coming out of the pandemic, it is clear that our students need greater mental health resources,†said sponsor Rep. Brian Hamilton (D-Methuen). “Ensuring all students, regardless of their zip code or background, can access a mental health professional through school is critical to the health and well-being of our youth,†“By prioritizing access to care now, we can help foster positive socio-emotional skills and psychological development before students enter the workforce and adulthood.†REQUIRE FOOD ALLERGY PLAN IN SCHOOLS (S 250) – Would require every school district that enrolls a student with a life-threatening food allergy to develop and implement a Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plan. The plan would include food allergy safety and training, including epinephrine administration protocols; identifying students with known food allergies; and developing strategies for reducing exposure to allergens and treating allergic reactions.. Current law does not require, but rather recommends, that schools establish these programs. “With diagnoses on the rise, it is increasingly important to ensure that schools are ready to provide safe learning environments for children with food allergies,†said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “This bill would help ensure that Massachusetts kids are safe from allergens at school, both in the classroom and in the cafeteria.†QUOTABLE QUOTES “We’ve been deeply moved by the devastating impacts we’ve seen and heartbreaking stories we’ve heard.

Small projects could alleviate the fl ooding. Last Friday night, they received approximately three inches of rain in a short time period, leading to signifi cant fl ooding up to the stairways in the surrounding streets. Asti Avenue resident Rocco Falzone, who has lived there since 1970, said that for 50-plus years all past administrations ignored the ongoing flooding issues. “All I got was lip service,†Falzone said. “Acting Mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr. has been working with me for a while.†Ridings said Tuesday’s meeting was a positive step forward, adding that the fl ooding has been “pretty much the same†over the years. Weston & Sampson Team Leader Paul Greco said the pump station would free up capacity to allow water to drain into.

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.
