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 Mid-grade Regular 2.78 3.37 3.37 $3.47 Over 47 Years of Excellence! 1978 - 2025 ULS Full Service $2.99 Order online at angelosoil.com 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.

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.

Food from Peter Woo’s SMOKE ALARMS | FROM Page 7 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 Stop cleaning-out your gutters this season Get a FREE full gutter inspection and estimate: 1-855-400-0172 1.We Clean 2.We Reinforce 3.We Install 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.

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.

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 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 ~ REVERE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP ~ At Revere High School all teams show growth By Dom Nicastro R Quarterback Jose Fuentes is shown passing the ball to an open receiver during recent action. 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 Charles Dobre worked to stay inbounds after making a reception during recent action against Lynn English.

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.” evere High School’s fall sports teams continue to fi nd success across multiple programs as the season enters its home stretch. From volleyball’s late-season push to field hockey’s win streak and cross-country’s recordbreaking performances, Patriot athletes are peaking at the right time. Field hockey wins five straight R evere fi eld hockey continues its turnaround under Head Coach Victoria Correia, improving to 7-6 after a pair of wins over Greater Lowell and Arlington Catholic. Against Greater Lowell on Oct. 10, Revere earned a 3-1 victory behind two goals from Isabella Mendieta and one from Kyle Lanes. The next day, the Patriots defeated Arlington Catholic by the same score. Danni Hope Randall, Mendieta and Zacharania “Zizi” Kalliavas each found the net. Correia said her team’s chemistry and communication have grown stronger each week. “Everyone is working together, passing cleanly, and playing for each other,” she said. “It’s showing up on the scoreboard.” The Patriots will have a busy upcoming stretch, including Senior Night on Oct. 22 against Malden and back-to-back home games that weekend.

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. In addition to being a dedA.C. Whelan third graders celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month By Melissa Moore-Randall T hird graders at the A.C. Whelan School recently studied Hispanic Heritage Month. Students were introduced to the origins of the month and many famous Hispanics and Hispanic Americans. All students were assigned a famous person with Hispanic origin to do a mini biography on. Research was done on Carmen Miranda, Cesar Chavez, Desi Arnaz, Pablo Picasso, Ellen Ochoa, Eva Perón, Gloria Estefan, José M. Hernández, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lionel Messi, Oscar De La Hoya, Oscar de la Renta, Sonia Sotomayor, Pelé, Roberto Clemente, Selena and others. National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 to October 15 in the United States and recognizes the contributions and infl uence of Hispanic culture to the nation’s achievements, culture and history. icated family man and community leader, Ralph serves as the Vice President of the Holy Name Society at Blessed Mother of the Morning Star Parish/St. Mary’s Church. In this role, he organizes events that foster community fellowship and contributes to charitable efforts through the church. Ralph is a man of strong moral character and integrity, and he is a passionate leader who genuinely cares for others. What Ralph DeCicco would bring to the table is a pragmatic approach and thoughtful insight to resolving the issues of the day within the Revere Public Schools. We need a voice like Ralph’s on our School Committee, and I would humbly ask that my friends and neighbors of Revere consider voting for him on Tuesday, November 4th.

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.

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.
