THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2025
City Council Approves $4.2M Loan
for McMackin Field Renovation
Advocate Staff Report
T
he Revere City Council has
unanimously approved a $4.2
million loan to fund the second
phase of the McMackin Field
renovation project. The funding
brings the city closer to completing
the $6.5 million project by
mid-summer next year, according
to Public Works Director Chris
Ciaramella.
The loan order, fi rst introduced
last month, was delayed after
Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio
requested more detailed plans
before moving forward. On Monday
night, Ciaramella and Parks
and Recreation Director Michael
Hinojosa presented the updated
designs, receiving widespread
praise from council members.
The project includes a multiuse
turf fi eld adaptable for little
league baseball, regulation softball,
and Under-10 youth soccer.
Phase one—site elevation and
drainage installation—is already
complete.
Two new structures will be
added: a two-story press box behind
home plate with a 4x8-foot
window, and a storage building
with three handicap-accessible
bathrooms. Other planned features
include:
• An 8-foot decorative fence
• Protective netting to shield
nearby streets and condos
• A new scoreboard
• Three bleachers accommodating
144 spectators
• 17 parking spaces along Winthrop
Avenue
DEBATES | FROM Page 1
Improvements will also be
made to the surrounding area,
including pedestrian bumpouts
and solar-powered crossing
beacons at two crosswalks
on Winthrop Avenue. The sidewalk
along the fi eld will be fully
replaced, with new tree pits and
decorative lighting.
“The new layout, along with

a retaining wall extension, has
created additional parking and
enhanced safety for residents,”
Ciaramella explained.
Councillor-at-Large Robert
Haas III expressed enthusiasm
for the project. “These renderings
are fantastic. A fi eld of this
magnitude brings so many benefits—multiple
sports, rentals,
practices, games. It’s a huge plus
for the city and its residents.”
Councillor-at-Large Anthony
Zambuto suggested incorporating
a memorial to the fi eld’s
past identity as “Little Fenway,”
calling it an important piece of
Revere’s history.
The council also discussed
public access. Argenzio emphasized
that public spaces
shouldn’t be locked during the
day, but Hinojosa cautioned that
vandalism—such as recent issues
at Della Russo Stadium—
might necessitate security measures.
The council agreed to revisit
the public access policy in
the future.
money alone would be the
most prudent move. Kelly
also proposed adding the
money to the line item for
Special Education residential
costs, which Kelly said are
already more than was originally
anticipated.
But John Kingston, chairman
of the Ways and Means
Subcommittee, had a diff erent
idea. Kingston proposed
spending $40,000 on a playground
for the early childhood
program at the Beachmont
School. Kingston described
how there’s nothing
at Beachmont for play
equipment for early ed and
kindergarten. Kingston said
the only thing in the yard is
a broken sandbox with sand
leaking out of the sides and
a crooked table.
“We talk a lot about equity
in the district, and this is very
unequitable,” said Kingston,
adding that the district’s
other preschool programs
have playgrounds. Kingston
also reminded the committee
that they have talked a
lot about the importance of
play to engage children in
learning.
“We’re not updating anything,
there’s nothing there,”
said Kingston. “I don’t think
that’s fair.”
But other committee
members felt it is better to
take a cautious and conservative
approach with the
surplus.
“We want to give kids
everything possible,” said
Committeewoman Stacey
Bronsdon-Rizzo. “I would
love to see a playground
at Beachmont. But we are
not in a position to look
at playgrounds,” she said,
adding that the committee
shouldn’t approve a playground
before funding for
special education programs.
“In the current fi scal state
we’re in, I don’t know if a
playground would be a priority,”
said Bronsdon-Rizzo.
Kelly suggested investigating
possible grants for
tot lots. She added that she
had not heard from the principal
at Beachmont nor from
the early education director
that the lack of a playground
is a problem. She also added
that she had recently
signed on to a letter to the
state legislature asking how
they can better support local
school districts with the millionaire’s
tax. She said some
good news may be coming
in the spring.
Committee member Anthony
Caggiano said he
would support Kingston’s
motion to use $40,000 for
a playground, but he wanted
more information about
how the money would be
spent.
The committee voted
to recommend to the full
School Committee that they
approve $40,000 for the
Beachmont playground and
that the remaining $115,000
be put in the special education
residential column to
avoid any defi cits next year.

~ POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT ~
Iron Workers Endorse Michelle Kelley Councillor
At-Large for Re-Election
I
ron Workers Local 7, one
of the most prominent
and storied building trades
unions in New England, announced
today that it is
“wholeheartedly” backing
Michelle Kelley’s re-election
for Revere At-Large City
Council, confident that Kelley
will continue to “protect
the working families of tomorrow.”
As
an attorney, lifelong
resident, and small business
owner, Michelle Kelley
earned widespread support
in her first term by serving
with resilience and a practical,
common-sense approach
to city governance,
undeterred by challenges.
“We need more people like
you who are willing to do the
hard work required, such as
bringing people together
to have challenging conversations
that may never happen
without your support,”
Local 7 President Frank Murray
wrote in the union’s letter
to Kelley pledging its endorsement.
Murray
added that the
“3,800 members of Local 7
stand with you in this election
and are ready to support
you in any way they
can.”
Kelley said she was thrilled
by the alliance with such a
respected, forward-looking
union.
“I’m incredibly proud of
Local 7’s endorsement. The
tenacity that these people
bring to their job sites every
day is the same tenacity
that I will continue to bring
to City Hall, standing up for
residents and keeping safety
and quality of life at the
forefront of every decision,”
she said.
As the third woman elected
to the Councillor At-Large
seat in Revere’s history—following
two elected predecessors,
with the first woman
having been appointed—
Michelle Kelley has broken
barriers while championing
the voices of residents.
Kelley will continue to
bring a “neighborhood
watch” approach to the Redents
on all matters affecting
their lives, undeterred by
challenges or intimidation.
Kelley stated, “My agenda is
clear: I serve the residents
of Revere, listening to their
concerns and standing firmly
with them on all issues affecting
their lives.”
The first person in her family
to graduate college, Kelley

Schools and worked her

transparency in local government.
Support continues
to grow, bolstered by her integrity,
work ethic, and having
proven to residents that
their voices matter.
Demonstrating resilience
in tackling complex issues
during her first term, Michelle
Kelley requested a
fiscally prudent review of
the new high school’s costs,
expanded the senior workoff
tax abatement program,
successfully closed a mechanical
parking loophole,
advocated for strict adherence
to Revere’s zoning regulations,
endorsed term limits
for elected officials, and
consistently stood with residents,
amplifying their voices
by often casting the lone
‘no’ vote against proposals
they opposed.
Kelley pledged that, upon
re-election, she will continue
to steer Revere toward
fiscally responsible governance,
diligently researching
complex issues and asking
tough questions. She remains

her duties fearlessly, standing

Tuscano Ave. resident thanks City Sewer & Drain Dept.
workers for Nor’easter preparations
By Tara Vocino
T
uscano Avenue resident
Rocco Falzone thanked Sewer
and Drain Department staff
for coming early Sunday morning
to clean out the storm
drain before this week’s rainy
Nor’easter. Sewer and Drain
Supervisor Frank D’Amelio
cleaned up phragmites, tree
branches and leaf bags along
with Sewer and Drain Foreman
Joseph Belcastro. If they
hadn’t cleaned it prior to the
Nor’easter, it could have fl ooded
Tuscano and Asti Avenues.
Falzone’s home gets hit the
hardest since it is the lowest
house in the city, according
to retired Chief of Infrastructure
Donnie Ciaramella. “Other
homes don’t fl ood as much I
do,” Falzone said. “I thank them
for coming down today.”
D’Amelio said they try to
come down to Asti Avenue
each time it rains. “It’s one of the
most troubled areas,” D’Amelio
said. “Rocco is just one voice.”

State Fire Marshal and Fire Chiefs Make Statewide
Push on Expired Smoke Alarms
Alarms Installed Shortly After 2015 Fire Code Change Should Be Replaced
Special to Th e Advocate
S
TOW—State Fire Marshal
Jon M. Davine and the Fire
Chiefs Association of Massachusetts
(FCAM) are teaming
up this month to draw attention
to a wave of smoke alarms
that are nearing the end of
their useful lifespans.
In 2015, a change to the
Massachusetts Comprehensive
Fire Safety Code set a new
requirement that replacement
smoke alarms in most Massachusetts
homes have a sealed,
10-year battery and a “hush”
feature. This requirement reduces
the likelihood that residents
will disable the device
after a nuisance alarm from
cooking smoke or remove
the batteries for use in another
device.
The long-life batteries in
these alarms are reliable only
for 10 years. For that reason,
the alarms purchased and put
into service by early adopters
of this code change may no
longer be reliable soon.
“Smoke alarms are like any
other appliance — they don’t
last forever,” said Westborough
Fire Chief Patrick Purcell,
who serves as FCAM President.
“Right now, the alarms
that were purchased and put
into service 10 years ago are
reaching the end of their useful
lifespan. Our concern is

in every home and off ered tips on how to choose devices that will off er the best protection while

that a wave of smoke alarms
in homes across Massachusetts
won’t be reliable in the
months ahead.”
Chief Purcell kicked off the
month-long push yesterday at
a press conference with State
Fire Marshal Davine, Auburn
Fire Chief Stephen Coleman,
and fire chiefs from across
Massachusetts.
“Every smoke alarm should
have a manufacturing date
printed on the back of the device,”
said Brockton Fire Chief
Brian Nardelli, who serves as
FCAM’s First Vice President.
“If it’s more than 10 years old,
or if it doesn’t have a date, replace
it right away. If it’s not 10
years old and it takes alkaline
batteries, this is a great time
to put fresh batteries in to be
sure you’re protected through
the winter.”
Chief Nardelli will host a press
conference at the Brockton Fire
Department on October 9 to

promote the smoke alarm safety
message for news media in
Southeastern Massachusetts.
“When it’s time to replace
your smoke alarms, we strongly
recommend choosing new
alarms that meet UL Standard
217, 8th
Edition or later,” said
State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine.
“Look for that language
on the packaging or the product
specifi cations. These devices
use the latest multi-criteria
technology, which helps
to prevent nuisance alarms
caused by cooking smoke.”
“Sealed-battery smoke
alarms are powered by lithium-ion
batteries, so please
don’t put them in your household
trash or recycling,” said
Easthampton Fire Chief Christopher
Norris, who serves as
FCAM’s Second Vice President.
“If they’re crushed or punctured
in a compactor truck or
a transfer station, they could
cause a fi re that’s very diffi cult
to extinguish. As lithium-ion
batteries have become more
common, we’ve started seeing
more and more of these
trash and transfer station fi res,
and it’s a safe bet that the root
cause is battery damage.”
Chief Norris will host a third
press conference at the Easthampton
Fire Department on
October 29 to promote the
smoke alarm safety message
for residents in Western Massachusetts.
Each
spring and fall, the
Massachusetts fi re service reminds
residents to check their
smoke and carbon monoxide
alarms when they change
their clocks. The reminder is
especially urgent this year as
so many smoke alarms may
need to be replaced. The State
Fire Marshal’s offi ce and Fire
Chiefs Association of Massachusetts
urge residents to follow
these safety tips:
• Check the manufacturing
date printed on the back
of your smoke and carbon
monoxide (CO) alarms
• Replace smoke alarms after
10 years and CO alarms according
to the manufacturer’s
instructions (usually after
5, 7, or 10 years depending
on make and model)
• Choose new smoke alarms
from a well-known national
brand and look for the
mark of an independent
testing lab such as UL or Intertek/ETL
•
Be sure the replacement
alarm has a sealed, long-life
battery and a hush feature
and meets UL Standard 217,
8th
Edition or later
Many communities have
programs that can assist older
or low-income residents who
need help installing or maintaining
their alarms. Contact
your local fi re department for
more information.

ed as a Malden state Representative
in 1972. He then served
in Washington, D.C., as a U.S.
Congressman for nearly 40
years, from 1976-2013, before
winning his U.S. Senate special
election in 2013. Sen. Markey
was elected to a full six-year
term in 2016 and reelected
in 2020, defeating then Congressman
Joseph Kennedy III.
The 2026 election would be a
second full term for Markey, if
reelected.
Moulton, an influential
North Shore Congressman
with a national following, announced
his intentions in a
YouTube video, ending speculation
that has involved Markey’s
Senate seat even since
the last election, in 2020. While
he was rumored to be considering
a challenge to Sen. Markey
in that election, it did not
happen that year. In his announcement
video Wednesday,
U.S. Rep. Moulton, a Democrat,
called out the Democratic
“establishment,” claiming
it has not eff ectively challenged
the policies and actions
of President Donald
Trump since the Republican
returned to office for a second,
nonconsecutive term in
January.
“Our party has clung to the
status quo, insisted on using
the same old playbook, and
isn’t fighting hard enough.
The next generation will keep
paying the costs if we don’t
change course,” Rep. Moulton
said in the video.
Moulton also remarked directly
on Sen. Markey’s age.
“We’re in a crisis, and with everything
we learned last elecibles,
china, artwork, advertising,
vintage watches, jewelry,
silver, vintage clothing, books,
ephemera, postcards, old toys,
quilts, vintage housewares,
etc. The church’s “Collectible’s
Table” is a very popular attraction
for some great deals and
this year has grown to fi ll an
entire room at the show! In addition
to the antiques & vintage
items, there will be homebaked
treats and coff ee in the
morning, and a lunch/snack
bar starting at 11:30 a.m. Even
if you have yet to discover your
interest in antiques or collecttion,
I just don’t believe Senator
Markey should be running
for another six-year term at 80
years old,” Moulton said. Sen.
Markey, 79, turns 80 in July
2026 and would be 86 at the
completion of another term.
Sen. Markey announced
nearly one year ago, in October
2024, that he fully intends
to seek reelection in 2026. The
term “generational fi ght within
the Democratic Party” has
often been cited since President
Trump came back to the
White House. In an interview
with a Boston television station
at that time, when asked
directly about “whether it was
time for generational change
in the Senate,” Sen. Markey
said this is the “most energized”
he has ever been and
he is ready for the fi ght ahead.
“It’s not your age, it’s the age
of your ideas. And I’ve always
been the youngest guy in the
room,” Sen. Markey said, citing
examples from his tenure, including
the Green New Deal,
climate change legislation and
his existing push for a “privacy
bill of rights.”
Age has been rising as an issue
among Massachusetts political
observers, with the “generational
change” term at the
forefront. Markey is the eldest
congressional member from
Massachusetts at 79, while U.S.
Rep. Richard Neal and U.S. Sen.
Elizabeth Warren, who was reelected
to a six-year term in
2024, are both 76. Even among
the state legislature, Massachusetts
has a number of longtime
state Representatives and
Senators in their 70s and 80s,
including Malden Rep. Paul Donato,
who turns 84 this month
and is running for reelection
ibles, come for the lunch and
baked goods, and you will not
leave disappointed!
Admission is only $6. All proceeds
benefit the ongoing
ministries of First Congregational
Church in Melrose, UCC.
There is plenty of parking and
the building is handicap accessible.
Some spaces for dealers
are still available to rent. For
more information email FCCAntiqueShow@gmail.com
or
write to FCC Antique Show,
First Congregational Church in
Melrose, 121 W. Foster St., Melrose,
MA 02176.
this November, Senate Majority
Leader Cynthia Creem, 83,
and Sen. Pat Jehlen, 82. House
Speaker Ron Mariano will turn
79 on Halloween, and Senate
President Karen Spilka is 72.
Secretary of State William Galvin
has been at the helm for 30
years and is now 75.
Moulton, who turns 47 this
month, said Wednesday, in his
video, that Markey is “a good
man” but he should nevertheless
move on after decades in
Congress. “I don’t think someone
who’s been in Congress for
a half century is the right person
to meet this moment and
win the future,” Moulton said.
Moulton has a history of
challenging those in power.
He was fi rst elected to Congress
in 2014 after defeating
incumbent Rep. John Tierney,
and tried to block Rep. Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) from becoming
speaker in 2018.
Markey has been in Congress
since 1976 and would be 86 at
the end of another term. At 79,
he’s one of the oldest members
of Congress seeking reelection
next year. Markey has faced
the “generational change” position
before and won, in 2020,
over then-Rep. Joe Kennedy III
by double digits. Markey was
boosted by an “army” of younger,
digital-savvy supporters. His
trademark Converse sneakers,
an ode to his youthful backers,
became well-known in that
campaign, which was waged in
the midst of the once-in-100
years pandemic.
Lately, Sen. Markey has been
rolling out endorsements from
prominent lawmakers and labor
unions for weeks amid rumors
of a potential primary
challenge.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2025
Football Pats move the ball
but fall to Somerville, 28–12
By Dom Nicastro
F
or Revere High School football
coach Lou Cicatelli,
Friday night’s 28—12 loss to
Somerville at Dilboy Stadium
was another case of promise
without payoff. The Patriots
drove deep into Highlander
territory on multiple occasions
but came away empty on four
of those trips, losing two fumbles
and turning it over on
downs. Somerville, now 5—1,
capitalized on nearly every Revere
mistake to stay atop the
Greater Boston League standings.
“We
moved the ball down
the field, and we turned it
over,” Cicatelli said. “We’re
in the red zone four times
and just couldn’t capitalize.
Our secondary struggled. I
thought we did a pretty good
job stopping the run for the
most part. And then they hit
us on two big pass plays that
they mounted for their scores.”
Revere’s fi rst possession set
an early tone. However, facing
a fourth-and-three at the
Somerville 10, a pass attempt
to Charles Dobre fell short
with 4:38 left in the opening
quarter. The Highlanders
responded with a 90-yard
march capped by Ares Beal
Osiris’s 38-yard touchdown
strike to Marcos Pineda for an
8—0 lead.
The Patriots answered quickly.
Quarterback Jose Fuentes
threw a perfect pass to Dobre
in the left fl at for a 59-yard
touchdown, cutting the defi cit
to 8—6 late in the fi rst quarter.
But Somerville took control
with a pair of second-quarter
scores. Beal Osiris connected
twice with Ryan Louis —
fi rst on a 35-yard touchdown,
then on an 11-yard toss after
a muff ed punt set up a short
fi eld — giving the Highlanders
a 20—6 halftime lead. Revere
again threatened before
the half, driving to the Somerville
3, but the Highlanders
stuff ed a jet sweep to Dobre
as time expired.
The third quarter belonged
entirely to Somerville. Beal
Osiris and Louis connected
for their third touchdown
of the night, an 18-yard pass
that capped a 13-play, 82-yard
drive that consumed nearly
the entire quarter.
“They got us on the big pass
plays,” Cicatelli said. “One was
a perfect ball — pretty good
coverage. And one was a
blown coverage. They ran into
each other. It was fourth and
eight, and they scored.”
Revere’s off ense continued
to move the chains, powered
by Mario Ramirez’s physical
running and strong secondhalf
contributions from Joey
Angiulo, whose 23-yard run
pushed the Patriots inside
the Somerville 15. Late in the
game, Sergio Peguero scored
on a fourth-and-13 reverse
from the 16, his first varsity
touchdown, but by then the
outcome was sealed.
Cicatelli didn’t sugarcoat his
postgame assessment. “We’re
not a very good football team
right now,” he said. “It’s a little
frustrating. I thought we
would get a little bit better. We
just gotta pick up the pieces
and get ready for Classical on
Saturday morning.”
The coach acknowledged
his team’s inconsistency and
lingering injuries have made
progress difficult. “We had
about five kids that didn’t
practice, and they were gametime
decisions,” he said. “We
played them and it didn’t pan
out.”
He praised Fuentes and
Ramirez for battling through
pain and continuing to compete.
“I thought Mario played

hard — he’s all banged up. I
thought Jose, he didn’t practice
much last week, but he
played well, just didn’t have
any help around him,” Cicatelli
said. “We can move the ball,
but you can’t keep turning it
over. That’s been our Achilles’
heel this year.”
Revere’s offense showed
fl ashes of creativity late, particularly
on misdirection plays.
“We probably should have
been doing it a little bit earlier
too,” Cicatelli said. “They
were coming high and hard
the whole game, and late in
the third and fourth quarter,
we hit them with a couple of
counters. I think we’ve got to
get a bit more misdirection —
that’s going to help us.”
The Patriots are searching
for a rhythm — and for a win
that can reignite their season.
“We’ve got to do a better job
mentally,” Cicatelli said. “It’s a
little concerning now. We’ve
got one win — not what you
want to be doing in the GBL.
But all these games are winnable
for us down the stretch.”
Revere (1—4, 1—2 GBL) returns
to Manning Field in Lynn
for an 11 a.m. Saturday matchup
against Lynn Classical. Cicatelli
expects a physical battle.
“They’re a smash-mouth

football team,” he said. “They’re
big, and we match up very well
with them. Again, it’s a game
that if we don’t turn the ball
over — and I know how these
kids can play — we’ll be right
there.”

In Support of Ralph DeCicco School Committee At Large Candidate
D
ear Editor,
I am writing today as a
resident and voter of the City
of Revere to express my support
for my dear friend, Ralph
DeCicco, who is running for an
at-large position on the Revere
School Committee. This year,
the School Committee will operate
with a new format featuring
two at-large seats, and
Ralph is a candidate for one
of them. I believe that Ralph
would bring a unique perspective
to the School Committee,
which would truly set him apart
from the other candidates.
As the parent of one current
Revere Public Schools student
and one recent graduate,
he is invested in the state
of our school system now —
he understands the needs of
Revere families and will work
to strengthen Revere Public
Schools in the present and for
the future. As the Chair of the
Revere Commission on Disabilities
and a member of the
commission for nearly a decade,
Ralph has experience in
advocating for a vulnerable
population that is often overlooked,
and he has delivered
in that role. Ralph’s dedication
to the City of Revere and
its residents is admirable, and
his work ethic speaks for itself
in the best possible way — if
elected, he will work tirelessly
for the families of Revere Public
Schools.
Regular readers of your publication
may already be familiar
with Ralph’s qualifi cations
and experience. However, as
a friend of Ralph’s and a voter
in Revere, I would like to introduce
my neighbors to the
Ralph that I know and respect.

Answers
Dear Savvy Senior,
My husband and I have been
thinking about getting a longterm
care insurance policy,
but we hate the idea of paying
expensive monthly premiums
for a policy we may never
use. Is long-term care insurance
worth it?
Approaching Retirement
Dear Approaching,
There are two key factors
you need to consider that
can help you determine if
purchasing a long-term care
(LTC) insurance policy is a
smart decision for you and
your husband. One factor is
your fi nancial situation and
second is your health history.
Currently, around 7.5 million
Americans own a policy.
Who Needs LTC
Insurance?
As the cost of LTC — which
includes nursing home, assisted
living and in-home care —
continues to rise, it’s important
to know that most people
pay for LTC either from
personal savings or Medicaid
when their savings is depleted,
or through a LTC insurance
policy.
National median average
costs for nursing home care
today is over $100,000 a year,
according to the Genworth
Cost of Care survey. Assisted
living facilities and home
care aides average more than
$65,000/year.
While national statistics
show that about 70 percent
of Americans 65 and older
will need some kind of LTC,
the fact is, many people don’t
need to purchase LTC insurance.
The reasons stem from a
range of factors, including the
fact that relatively few people
have enough wealth to protect
to make purchasing a policy
worthwhile.
Another important factor is
that most seniors who need
LTC only need it for a short
period of time, for example,
when they’re recovering from
surgery. For those people,
Medicare covers in-home
health care and nursing home
stays of 100 days or less following
a hospital stay of more
than 3 consecutive days.
So, who should consider
buying a policy?
LTC insurance make the
most sense for people who
have investable assets of
$500,000 to around $2 million
that they want to protect. Anything
less, and you will likely
deplete your resources and
go on Medicaid for LTC coverage.
Anything more, and you
can probably aff ord to pay for
care yourself.
Another factor to weigh is
your personal health and family
health history. The two most
common reasons seniors need
extended long-term care is
because of dementia and/or
disability. And, almost half of
all people who live in nursing
homes are 85 years or older.
So, what’s your family history
for Alzheimer’s, stroke or some
other disabling health condition,
and do you have a family
history of longevity?
You also need to factor in
gender too. Because women
tend to live longer than
men, they are at greater risk of
needing extended LTC.
Choosing LTC
Coverage
After evaluating your situation,
if you’re leaning towards
buying a LTC policy,
be aware that premiums can
vary widely. According to
the American Association for
Long-Term Care Insurance,
premiums for a policy bought
by a couple who are both
age 65 for a benefi t pool of
$165,000 each, with a 3 percent
inflation rider, ranged
from $7,137 to $8,493 a year.
You can buy LTC insurance
from an insurance company
or through an agent. Or you
might also be able to buy a
policy at work. Be sure to get
quotes from several sources
for the same coverage to
compare prices.
There are two main types
of long-term care coverage
you’ll want to consider. Traditional
LTC insurance, which
is “use it or lose it.” And hybrid
policies that combine
LTC coverage with life-insurance
benefi ts. These policies
promise that if you don’t end
up needing long-term care,
your benefi ciaries will receive
a death benefi t. Both types of
policies require medical underwriting
to qualify.
Another hybrid product
to consider is an income annuity
that includes a provision
to increase your payout
if you need LTC. However,
the payout may not cover
the full cost of care, and the
added cost of this provision,
known as a rider, can reduce
the standard payout from the
annuity.

players have shown poise and maturity
throughout the season, battling
through close matches and
injuries.
The Patriots opened last week
with a 3-2 win over Medford, fueled
by 13 kills and fi ve aces from senior
middle Samarah Meristal and 11 kills
with four aces from junior hitter Haley
Peralta. On Wednesday, Revere
swept Chelsea 3-0, getting six kills
from Basma Sahibi, four from Sofi a
Guzman and a well-rounded performance
from senior setter Susan Lemus
Chavez, who fi nished with 12
aces and 10 assists.
The Patriots capped the week with
a fi ve-set thriller over Beverly, winning
3-2. Peralta led the attack with
12 kills; Chavez added 10 kills and
19 assists; Meristal chipped in seven
kills; and Sahibi contributed six.
Clemons credited her senior group
for maintaining leadership and energy
all year. The team planned to
celebrate its eight seniors — Samantha
Indorato, Basma Sahibi, Isabella
Arroyave, Sara Brown, Susan Lemus
Chavez, Dayana Ortega, Jade Dang
and Samarah Meristal — when they
were scheduled to host Somerville
on Wednesday night [after press
deadline].
Girls’ cross-country
dominates at home
T
he Revere girls’ cross-country
team has found its stride, earning
a decisive home win over Everett
at Belle Isle Marsh and then turning
in strong times at the Twilight Invitational.
Head Coach Katie Sinnott
praised her runners for their steady
improvement. “The dedication to
the work and process of training day
in and day out is paying off ,” she said.
At Belle Isle, senior captain Olivia
Rupp led the way with a fi rst-place
fi nish in 19 minutes, 26 seconds. Rania
Hamdani placed second in 22:15,
and Emma DeCrosta was fourth at
24:07. Seniors Salma El Andalosy,
Valeria Acevedo Estrada and freshman
Adis Cordero Canela rounded
out the scoring with top-10 fi nishes,
giving Revere a 15-50 team win.
Sinnott noted that both Acevedo
Estrada and Canela ran personal-best
paces, each cutting nearly a
minute per mile off their previous
times. Rupp, meanwhile, is closing
in on the Revere High course record,
sitting just seven seconds shy of the
12-year-old mark.
At the Twilight Invitational, Rupp
improved her time by more than
two minutes from last year’s event,
fi nishing in 21:34. Hamdani clocked
23:38, and DeCrosta recorded her
fastest pace of the season at 25:48.
“It’s a special meet,” Sinnott said.
“Running under the lights with over
200 competitors gives them an unforgettable
experience.”
Boys’ cross-country
sharp at home
T
he boys’ cross-country team,
coached by Michael Flynn, ran
its fi rst home race of the season at
Belle Isle Marsh and posted several
standout performances, even
against a strong Everett team that
took the meet 18-40. Senior Diogo
Yogi continued to lead the Patriots,
fi nishing third overall in 17:57 on
the 2.89-mile course. Kosta Stamatopolous
(19:29) and Cristian Requeno
(20:12) placed eighth and
ninth, respectively. Noah Shanley
and Javier Rosa crossed together in
23:56, while Andre Nguyen (24:06)
and newcomer Josh Rugutt (24:56)
rounded out the group.
Flynn praised Rugutt for his debut
eff ort. “Josh ran his fi rst cross-country
race and has been working hard
— an excellent result,” he said.
