City Council seeks ordinance citing concerns over Electric Vehicle safety requirements By Barbara Taormina R evere has been preparing for a future of roadways fi lled with electric vehicles. The City Council recently approved a motion to have the city develop an ordinance regulating the storage of EV’s. The motion was inspired by news reports of serious fi res caused by the batteries that power electric vehicles. This week the Parking Advisory Committee began to tackle the question of how much to charge EV drivers who hook into the city’s charging stations and how much to fi ne drivers who exceed their allotted time. There was not, however, a clear understanding of what it takes to charge an electric vehicle and how much electricity is required. CFO Richard Viscay tried to ask how charging a vehicle compares to rates for parking but it all depends on the vehicle make and model.

She will be among over 3,000 participants, both in-person and virtual, to walk the new 3-mile loop around the Boston Common or in their own neighborhoods. Back on the Common for the fi rst time since 2019, the one-day fundraising event will raise more than $1 million to support food assistance resources and sustainable policy solutions to end hunger across the Commonwealth. Beginning in 1969, as the fi rst pledge walk in the nation, Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger brings together a diverse community dedicated to creating change. On Sunday May 7th , the annual fundraiser returns to Boston Common after 3 years of being virtual due to COVID-19 safety precautions. This rite of passage for people in Massachusetts returns in its 55th year with a shorter route and a fresh look. The mission of the time-honored tradition will never change. The fundraising goal this year is over $1 million dollars. “As we continue to recover from the pandemic and see federal emergency benefi ts such as expanded SNAP benefits coming to an end, 1 in 5 Massachusetts households with children are still struggling without enough to eat,†says Erin McAleer, Project Bread CEO. “That number jumps dramatically for Black, brown, and immigrant households. Participating in Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger is one way we can all do something real to make sure our neighbors in need can get the food to meet their most basic of needs.†Witter fi rst participated in Proj ect Bread’s Walk for Hunger in 2006.

She feeds approximately 500 families every week and hears stories from people that face food insecurity locally. Participating in the Walk for Hunger opened her eyes to what was happening in Massachusetts. Her goal is to raise $5,000 this year. “I’ve always wanted to give back to my community,†says Witter. “Life is truly about the little things. Even just an hour here and an hour there, it is all important. After listening to people’s stories at the food pantry, it pushed me to do what I could to get healthy, fresh, affordable and culturally appropriate food for these people. Many residents in Revere live paycheck to paycheck and struggled through the pandemic to have enough to eat. Food insecurity is real, and we need to combat it together.†Money raised through the Walk for Hunger is critical to Project Bread’s statewide work to ensure kids reliably have enough to eat, provide one-on-one support for individuals and families who need food assistance, and work to prevent hunger in the first place by eliminating barriers to resources and implementing policies that make food more accessible. In keeping with the community-spirit of the event, In keeping with the community-spirit of the event, the Walk also provides a platform for organizations to fund the vital work they do fi ghting hunger locally. The Commonwealth is a joint fundraising program Project Bread launched in 2019. In 2022, 36 nonprofi ts raised more than $123,000 to support their own programs. “This year’s event represents a culmination of our fundraising season and a celebration of community eff orts over the last three years of the pandemic to fundraise and walk to solve hunger,†says McAleer. “We cannot wait to welcome the Massachusetts community –both new and returning – together in-person on the Common while continuing to engage those across the country making strides in the fi ght against hunger locally.†This 55th an nual event will include remarks by McAleer as well as family-friendly activations on the Boston Common, such as live music, photo booths, giveaways and raffl e prizes, lawn games, and a Kid’s Corner with balloon animals and face painting. For the fifth consecutive year, Project Bread is inviting other anti-hunger programs to participate as cofundraisers in the event through the Commonwealth Program.

Kelley, an attorney and realtor, outlined a “neighborhood watch†approach to governing and said she will help neighborhoods confronted by an onslaught of irresponsible development. “It’s time that the government of Revere is restored to the people of Revere,†Kelley said. “I’ve lived here my whole life, started a business here, and watched with dismay as deals get made to the detriment of quality of life here. I’m running to be an AtLarge City Councillor because Revere citizens deserve to know that their voices matter.†The proud granddaughter of immigrants, Kelley lives with her MICHELLE KELLEY City Council Candidate husband, David, in West Revere. Kelley believes that hard work is the path to the American dream, and that seniors have earned the right to live in their homes and in the neighborhoods they have helped build.

No coastal city or town can win against the onslaught of an oncoming ocean, but together as a region, the coastline can strengthen its resilience and adapt. Elle Baker, Revere’s Open Space and Environmental Planner stressed the united approach to climate change at a recent meeting to discuss the Saugus River Watershed Adaptation Plan. “We want to look at what we can do as a region,†said Baker who explained that Revere, Lynn, Saugus, Malden and Everett are teaming up to develop strategies for fl ood protection. “We’re looking at this through a regional scope,†said Baker. Coastal scientist Conor Ofshun displayed maps that showed some of the most vulnerable local spots, such as Point of Pines, Revere Beach and Bristol Street. “We’re looking at what critical infrastructure is at risk,†said Ofshun. “We’re trying to identify what roads may be impassable, what public transit will be disrupted, which police and fi re departments will be aff ected and if schools face risks of fl ooding.†Ofshun said problems and risks from fl ooding, erosion and storms will become greater with climate change and rising sea levels. To meet this challenge, the Massachusetts Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs Municipal Vulnerability Program has launched an MVP action grants program that provides funding to communities looking at climate change adaptation actions to ease the impact of climate change. The Saugus River Watershed Vulnerability and Adaptation study was funded by a $150,872 grant from EEA. The study has been focused mostly on municipal infrastructure and risks such as hazardous material sites, hospitals and ambulance routes, waste facilities such as Wheelabrator. Identifying vulnerabilities and areas at risk is the fi rst step, along with educating and informing the public. The next step involves a variety of measures meant to bolster the region’s adaptation and resilience to climate change. There are common natural strategies, or green infrastructure such as living shorelines that use trees and plants to stabilize coastlines. Porous pavement and vegetative buff ers in large parking areas reduce stormwater runoff. Gravity-based drainage systems that channel stormwater away from critical buildings and facilities are another common green solution. Another approach involves structural changes to the region’s transportation system such as seawalls, fl oodgates, expanding undersized culverts and raising roadways, bridges and utilities. Policy changes such as zoning restrictions and land use regulations, conservation easements, stormwater management regulations and fees are also among the mix of measures available to make the region resilient to climate change. Baker said the grant funding the study is about to end, but the region is seeking more state funding and assistance in planning to protect the region against future climate change threats.

He has twice been a league All-Star and also twice recognized as a Mass. Baseball Coaches Association State All-Star. With all that and a pile of outstanding performances under his belt, still, Wednesday was some of his best work. For sure. The lanky veteran was dominating and at the same time economical in a completegame, 5-0 victory over visiting Everett at Pine Banks Park in Malden on Wednesday. In these days of mandated pitch count rules, McMahon hurled a bona fi de gem, going the distance for a complete-game shutout, featuring 13 strikeouts and 4 scattered hits. The most impressive statistic might have been the actual pitch count itself, as McMahon went the whole way on just 87 pitches. Malden could have scored more runs early, stranding 10 baserunners on the day, but was able to scratch across the necessary scores due to the hitting and baserunning eff orts of sophomores Aidan Brett and Bo Stead (RBI double) and juniors Jake Simpson, Ryan Coggswell and Ezechiel Noelsaint – all three of them co-captains along with McMahon. Freshman Billy Gavin also scored a run for Malden. “I felt really good all day and I knew I had to go the whole game today. I know a lot of players on the other team [Everett], and that was a big motivator Brandon McMahon struck out 13 to lead Malden to a 5-0 shutout win over Everett baseball.

And parents would no longer have a community of peers and professionals supporting them as they regain their economic footing. We should be doing the opposite: investing in Head Start.†In Massachusetts, Republicans’ Default on America Act would eliminate 4,800 preschool and childcare slots, leaving kids without care and preventing parents from being able to work. Nationwide, over 300,000 children would lose access to child care. Shown with Democratic Whip Katherine Clark is Acting Mayor Patrick Keefe, State Rep. Jessica Giannino, Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky and employees of Revere Head Start during a round table session this past week. Congresswoman Clark has long been a champion for kids and families, leading the charge CAPIC Head Start Director Dianne Curtin, Congresswoman Clark and Richelle Cromwell of CAPIC. for quality, aff ordable child care in Congress. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Whip Clark secured historic funding for early education and childcare in this year’s federal budget. In 2020, she secured $50 billion in pandemic relief funding for the childcare industry, helping 200,000 providers keep their doors open to kids across the country. Just weeks ago, she joined with Democratic leaders to reintroduce their Child Care for Working Families Act, which is comprehensive legislation that tackles the childcare crisis and ensures families nationwide can access the high-quality childcare they need.
