(Courtesy photo, Julia Cervantes) Council approved public speaking segment during regular meetings By Barbara Taormina R esidents will now have the opportunity to voice their views on issues pertaining to the city council’s agenda at the start of each meeting. City Council President Anthony Cogliandro proposed amendments to council rules at the board’s last meeting. “This is just to make meetings more effi cient and give residents the chance to off er their thoughts with no interruptions on anything on the agenda,†he told fellow councillors. Cogliandro proposed opening each meeting with a public comment segment capped at 30 minutes. “It’s the same thing the School Committee does except I doubled the time,†said Cogliandro. Councillor-At-Large Michelle Kelley asked if the public comment segment would be the only time residents could speak at meetings. Cogliandro explained that it would not apply to public hearings since those include opportunities for proponents and opponents to voice their support or concerns about specifi c issues. According to Cogliandro, residents would be able to look at the council’s agenda and prepare their remarks. He also said it would avoid having people sitting in the council chamber waiting for hours for their item on the agenda to be heard. Cogliandro said if the new system doesn’t work, the council can change it. “If the council is not happy, we’ll put it right back the way it was,†he said. Council Vice President Ira Novoselsky had no objections to creating a public comment segment; however, he did suggest an announcement to turn off cell phones at the start of meetings would be helpful. Councillors voted in favor of Cogliandro’s motion to set aside time for public comment. Bulldozers are shown moving dirt and stone onto McMackin Field recently. (Courtesy of Mayor’s Offi ce) ayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr., in collaboration with the Department of Public Works, is proud to announce the revitalization of McMackin Field, a beloved community staple located on Winthrop Avenue. This project, expected to be completed in Spring of 2026, was championed by residents for a decade, since the field shut down in 2014. Much of the work on the project will be completed in-house, by members of the Department of Public Works. The project is bolstered by a $25,000 earmark secured by Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). One of the key components of the project is ensuring proper infrastructure installation for proper drainage. Prior to park construction, the Department of Public Works will complete land clean-up, excavation, and fill the field with eight feet of mixed stone, gravel, and dirt, to prevent future flooding and add to neighborhood resilience. This past week, the City received the green light from the Licensed Site Professional to begin moving stone into the site, marking the fi rst phase of construction on the land. Over the course of the next few weeks, residents can expect to see a noticeable improvement as the site will begin to rise and fi ll up, with an estimated 14,500 tons of fi ll. Mayor Keefe commented, “When I played youth baseball, I used to be excited to play my All-Star games at McMackin Field, and I know I am not alone. I have heard residents speak of similar fond memories of McMackin, and I know how much the space means to our community.†He continued, “I am proud to say that the team at the Department of Public Works is comREVITALIZATION | SEE Page 4 ׉ Ú7cassandra://_rc1vJc8BaaJGGPhmkz1tBE2NFPTxsrdnpuRSvG8qnEÍ7³Í`ÌÔÍ×g6UVc]% Ô×g6UVc]% ÔÍ ªÍrבC’טšÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://dsEc2mUI2R-0z2DzkRhkvm2JRZlvdxAL7WPAOzheKk4έÇÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://Nf18GgyE2dR6sqM6_v4x0HkDj5klAEPLWIdDQV_SaW0ÍÇ©Í`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://AM_sjjqKtzOl6J_-5EA3OeIZIFLJiiClB7uWJaq28swÍ<˜Í`ÌÔÍ×g6UWc]% Ô#טšÍUÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://LvL65k_8YYbXLWxEjVrImN8wEUossxHSpK8uPvt5OjAΡJÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://8Ebqrz1wh3PTeVvvnoOPmwFKbaPr-ljMk4y6VusqFYoÍ»µÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://8UhuKTqNNkW0EC7ZdE_sE5XSmP_GNdA8xoZuiGbRgRwÍ7WÍ`ÌÔÍ×g6UXc]% Ô$’× ×g6UXc]% Ô(Í RÍ#̵9×H¼mailto:Info@advocatenews.net× × Ј× ×g6UXc]% Ô'Í #ÍHÍ9×HÚ http://www.bostonnorthdental.com× × Ј׉EÚmPage 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2024 Mass.

I can remember growing up in Boston and the time I lived next door to a World War I veteran who also served with the Rough Riders back in 1898 and stormed up San Juan Hill with Col. Teddy Roosevelt. I at fi rst thought he was joking until he showed me an old photo of himself in uniform as a young man standing next to Roosevelt. The year was 1962, I was 14 years old and he was at least 83. That November as my family and I watched the Veterans Day Parade near Boston Common, there he was marching by in his full Army doughboy uniform with a rifle on his shoulder. My dad always took us to Veterans Day parades and Boston had the best one of all. I was glad to wave to my elderly neighbor, too. This year I marched in it again. The route is slightly changed but the patriotism remains and the crowds still come to say thank you to those in the line of march. I caught up with Jake Comer, 91, who rode in the Boston parade and I was glad to see him alive, well and smiling. This guy is a hometown hero to many, especially those from Dorchester and Quincy. He joined the American Legion in 1962. He served in the Air Force during the Korean War and has held offi ce for the American Legion at every level and served as national commander in 1987-88. I remember when I enlisted right out of high school back in 1966. Like Jake, I too joined the Air Force and like my Uncle Joe Harrington from Charlestown, I stayed out of harm’s way. My Uncle Joe joined the Navy right after Pearl Harbor and spent his service time in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I spent my time stateside in Texas. He was sorry I didn’t become a sailor but happy I was safe and sound. So, every year I march in the Veterans Day Parade to remember my uncle and all who served and continue to serve their country. As I said, this year it was a two-parade holiday for me, marching through Downtown Boston and again on November 11 in the City of Quincy. Oh, I also had a great time over at the Beachmont VFW Post for a Veterans’ banquet with all my Revere friends, right after leaving Quincy earlier on the holiday. I don’t march to be thanked — no veteran does — I march to show my pride in being an American. That’s what we all do. The City of Quincy puts on a great parade year after year after year. This city is home to many veterans past and present. It had lots of generals over the life of this America but it has even more ordinary plain soldiers, men and women who proudly wore the uniform of the military branch they were a part of. This year’s Veterans Day parade was held on a great day: The winds I felt in Boston two days prior had quieted down, the sun was shining and the temperature was really mild. Crowds cheered everyone on and the ceremony at the Soldiers Monument Park across from the Korean War Memorial reminded all why we must always remember how special this day is.

DiDomenico secures Everett stadium language in economic development bill Special to Th e Advocate T his week the Massachusetts Senate and House came to an agreement on an economic development bill, An Act Relative to strengthening Massachusetts’ economic leadership, which will inject millions of dollars into critical sectors, develop the state’s workforce, grow the economy, and make Massachusetts more competitive. Thanks to State Senator Sal DiDomenico’s (D-Everett, Cambridge) advocacy and leadership on this issue, the bill includes language that will allow for the construction of a professional soccer stadium and waterfront park in Everett. The language removes the classification of a parcel of land in Everett as a designated port area, which will enable the development of a professional soccer stadium and environmental cleanup in Everett. Senator DiDomenico has been working for almost two years to achieve this goal, securing language in multiple bills as well as fi ling a standalone bill to remove this classifi cation. The change is expected to have positive environmental and economic impacts in surrounding communities as well as improve public transit connectivity. “I am proud to share that language I have been working on to allow for the construction of a transformational soccer stadium in Everett for the New England Revolution has been included in the fi nal Economic Development bill,†said Senator DiDomenico. “This language paves the RON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM An architect’s rendition of a proposed professional soccer stadium and waterfront park in Everett may come to fruition thanks to an economic development bill.

This will result in hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment, cleanup of a hazardous waste site, the creation of good paying union jobs, and open our waterfront for the public to enjoy. I want to thank Senate President Spilka for her longtime support, Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria for his advocacy and all his work on this issue, as well as the members of the conference committee for including this language in the fi nal report. This will be an economic catalyst for our community and environmental win for our residents.†The language prohibits any public funding for the stadium project, and any funding for public infrastructure improvements associated with the stadium would require matching private funds. This section of the bill also requires community mitigation agreements with the Cities of Everett and Boston. The economic development legislation authorizes $3.96 billion in capital programs and a sweeping set of policy changes to support businesses and communities alike. The bill will shortly be taken up by the Senate and House, and following its enactment will be sent to the Governor’s desk for her signature or other action.

These jobs are a great way to make extra money, sometimes with the possibility of turning into a long-term employment opportunity. However, they are He’s Back...and Better Than Ever! John A. Fitzpatrick (Fitzy) Sales & Lease Consultant Direct: 617.410.1030 Main: 617.381.9000 Cell: 617.279.9962 îîî—îî“î„î—î•îŒî†îŽî€£îî†îŠî’î™îˆî•î‘î„î˜î—î’î†î’î î—îî“î„î—î•îŒî†îŽ McGovern Automotive Group 100 Broadway, Rte. 99, Everett sometimes not all that they seem. When looking for seasonal work to help fund holiday purchases and household bills, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has some suggestions to make the seasonal job hunt successful. According to the BBB Scam Tracker Risk Report, employment scams were the second riskiest in 2023. Being proactive in fi nding the right opportunity is key, but be careful when a job just seems too good to be true. Tips to avoid holiday job scams: * Employers will never ask for payment upfront for a job. Beware of businesses that ask applicants to pay for job supplies, an application or training fees. These expenses are the employer’s responsibility — and asking for money is a big red fl ag that something is wrong. * Be wary of job offers that don’t require an interview. Even during the peak hiring season, reputable companies prefer to talk to top job candidates before hiring them. If a job off er is presented without an interview (on the phone or in person) or is off ered only via the Internet, question the company’s hiring practices and do a little more digging. * Be wary of big money for small jobs. If an employer promises outrageously good wages for simple tasks — such as reshipping packages, stuff - ing envelopes or answering phones — this is a red fl ag. These too-good-to-be-true off ers might be an attempt to steal your personal information from a fake job application and can cause problems for you for a long time. * Never work for a company before they hire you. A legitimate company will not ask potential applicants to complete complex projects before making an offi cial off er. Before beginning any work, request an off er letter or written confi rmation of what the job entails, including an offi cial start date and compensation details.
