The council has an obligation to the community to keep a high-school project moving forward. Conducting a feasibility study of building a new Juan Pablo Jaramillo, wife Crystal and son Lucas. O n Monday, April 3, Revere Planning Board Member, Democratic State Committeeman, and union leader Juan Pablo Jaramillo announced his candidacy for one of the open at-large council seats in this year’s municipal elections. Jaramillo, a homeowner in Revere, has lived here since the age of seven when his family and him immigrated to Revere from Colombia. A proud product of Revere High School, Juan is a local and statewide leader leading on issues of labor and environmental justice earning him the recognition for one of the Massachusetts 30 most infl uential people under the age of 30, per the El Mundo Newspaper. Juan’s family came to the United States forced to escape violence and Revere welcomed them with open arms. It was here that Juan learned the value of public service. His parents were janitors that worked 80 hours a week to get by. Because of their sacrifi ces, Jaramillo himself could go from cleaning ICU beds during the Marathon Bombing to interning with Speaker DeLeo, to serving as Budget Director for State Senator Joe Boncore. As Budget Director, Jaramillo helped secure millions of dollars for housing, public transportation, and health care for Revere and the region. Endorsing Juan, State Senator Lydia Edwards said, “as an activist Juan has been a fi erce advocate for the city of Revere and its working families. His work in the state senate and in city government make him a trusted leader that can deliver results for Revere residents.†She added that Juan is the skillful policy maker that can help Revere tackle its most pressing issues†and that she “looks forward to partnering with him to deliver for Revere.†Juan also served as the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for one of the Commonwealth’s CANDIDATE | SEE Page 18 (Pol. Adv.) school at the existing Revere High site is imperative for the city to still be eligible for funding from the Massachusetts School Building Authority. Securing signifi cant funding from the state to address this urgent municipal need is the most prudent way to pay for the project. But make no mistake: A new high school is necessary regardless of how it gets paid for. Students are now forced to learn in inadequate conditions. The city is risking the future of students should our high school lose state accreditation because of its decrepit condition. Furthermore, the construction of a new high school must be viewed as part of a larger plan to meet the needs of students now and into the future. Overcrowding is a problem in our other schools. Staffi ng and programs will need to keep pace with our students’ needs. In deciding that the Wonderland site was not suitable to use for a new Revere High School, councilors indicated that they believe the site may have better strategic uses. The Revere Teachers Association expects the City Council to apply the same type of long-term strategic thinking when it comes to supporting public education in our city.†D A N D E E ׉ Ú7cassandra://r74AqYCyloWr432vQB9r6SUa9F8ucX8oAhtPcAFHDNkÍ+dÍ`Ì°Í×dAÊ œÂë#xÿçS×dAÊ œÂë#xÿçRÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://ncZwCMlnLw1WWAjH411jA_gqFzRPUI3DqEeJTUBLGuwÎÍþÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://822vp167XiYt8KFxnrzP1whwy7Po8XhXs6_ijaB16cc͉{Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://0TXmd7eSo20NBkCGG1Hbd5TxHLiwxYGMAm8017larCsÍ*TÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://Hy3bwBJo8uNJCi3T7YYj1C9eQ8bt3caNKuzdk6G4TVMκ=Í<€Í ÍÅÍñ×dAÊ œÂë#xÿçuטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://CwqgPAKAibgBroAOmGp6j68VmyE7SX_gHleZhjKKKRsÎ_?Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://Q53VA8k0qLt4FbxZlpw-hDqSlaHZrcdtEgtJdfd4iysͤYÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://0tme3H_SNsnMdkhGOsexZ0FTH0a9YQHnq1d_AQDuK6QÍ2åÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://rQVs9YIi8Ay7JMDznLyrfozqt4GJmRBG94P63Up9kxgΓáÍJdÍ ÍÅÍñ×dAÊœÂë#xÿçv–× ×dAÊœÂë#xÿç}Í Í3@ 9×H¯http://nspo.org× × Ј× ×dAÊœÂë#xÿç|Í Íf9×H³http://www.nspo.org× × Ј× ×dAÊœÂë#xÿç{Í›ÍíÌö9×HÚ mailto:hr@combinedproperties.com× × Ј× ×dAÊœÂë#xÿçzÍOÍ«Ìü9×HÚ!http://www.combinedproperties.com× × Ј× ×dAÊœÂë#xÿçyÌœÍäÍ 9×HÚ"http://www.eight10barandgrille.com× × Ј× ×dAÊœÂë#xÿçxÍ%ͤ@ 9×H¯http://nspo.org× × Ј׉EÚlPage 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 2023 North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra presents unique highlight to Spring Concert S panish composer Simón García’s unique double bass concerto, featuring soloist Susan Hagen of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will highlight the season-ending Spring Concert of the North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra (NSPO) on Sunday, April 23 at 3 p.m. at Swampscott High School.

EOE %APY* Lehmann acknowledged that a double bass is an uncommon solo instrument. “When one thinks of orchestral soloists, one rarely thinks of the double bass,†said Lehmann, who is also a violinist and frequent solo performer himself. “The NSPO is about to change that. I think the audience will be enthralled by the rich and powerful tones that Susan Hagen will draw from the double bass, which usually toils away in providing the foundation for the rest of the Orchestra’s sound. Sunday, the double bass comes front and center.†Soloist Susan Hagen is the fi rst female to occupy the principal bassist chair for the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra. In addition to her regular appearances with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she has performed with the Boston Ballet Orchestra, Boston Lyric Opera Orchestra and many other groups in the area in solo recitals. She is on the faculty at Berklee College of Music and is a frequent lecturer at Harvard University. New York City native composer and pianist George Gershwin is renowned for his vast array of music that spanned popular, jazz and classical genres. “An American in Paris†is one of his best-known works for Orchestra, evoking the sights and energy of Paris that Gershwin experienced during a stay in the French capital in the 1920s. While the piece uses all the standard instruments of orchestral sound, perhaps its most memorable sound is that of horns emulating taxi cabs bustling through the city: Gershwin actually used four Parisian taxi horns for the 1928 premiere of the work at New York’s Carnegie Hall. The concert concludes the 75th anniversary year of the NSPO and its 74th concert season, having lost its entire 20202021 season to the Covid pandemic. Staff ed largely by volunteer players, the NSPO is committed to providing access to quality music at an aff ordable price to communities north of Boston.

Callahan explained that Revere police have been involved for the past six years in CIT (or crisis intervention training), which focuses on de-escalation techniques for calls generated by mental health issues. Callahan said the fi ve-day training teaches police how to identify and understand how to deal with people who have mental health problems. Police learn to take a group approach and work with mental health specialists, substance abuse counselors and other professionals to resolve problems. “The idea is to keep people away from court involvement,†said Callahan. “About 60 percent of these calls don’t go to court like they would have a decade ago because we just didn’t know how to handle the problem. It’s a health care issue not a law enforcement issue.†“Injuries have decreased dramatically because of the training,†said Callahan, who added that individuals are safer, police are safer and everyone in the community is safer. According to Callahan, the training teaches police how to avoid triggers that could exacerbate conditions, such as autism and Alzheimer’s, and to understand how to reach people in crisis. CIT training is a part of the overall move toward police reform, said Callahan. “In Revere, we’ve been kind of forward thinking and we’ve trained ourselves better,†said Callahan. “We have a behavioral health unit to oversee some of these calls, and we have people who step in to do follow up and assist people,†he said. Commission Vice Chair Pauline Perno asked if the training is available for staff in other departments, such as the Fire and School Departments. Callahan agreed CIT training would be useful in those settings. However, the grant-funded training police receive is geared specifi cally to law enforcement. Other departments would need to pursue grants to off er the training. Perno also asked what members of the community should do if they see something they feel isn’t right. “You may see something in your neighborhood that doesn’t seem right. Someone might be in distress or trouble – you should call the police,†said Callahan, adding that police would rather get 10 calls that are not necessary rather than miss one where they could have made a diff erence. “We’re here to protect the community but we depend on the community,†said Callahan.
