Vol. 31, No.3 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net City closes in on Wonderland as new high school site By Adam Swift T he former Wonderland dog park is one vote away from being the site of the new Revere High School. Last week, the Revere High School Building Committee unanimously selected the Wonderland site as the preferred option for a new high school building over the current high school site. Last Tuesday night, the School Committee unanimously voiced its support for that option. This coming Monday night, the City Council is expected to vote on the Wonderland option. If the City Council votes in the affi rmative, architects will begin the process of drawing up more detailed schematic plans for a new high school. The advantages of the Wonderland site that have been touted by the project team consisting of representatives from owner’s project manager LeftField and architect Perkins Eastman include the ability to build on the site in a single phase with less disruption than building at the current site while school is in session and the ability to keep the current high school site in play as a future home of a new unifi ed middle school. The Wonderland option has a lower overall price tag than the options presented for the current high school, with early estimates around $375 million. But the city would have to shoulder a slightly higher cost, paying approximately $247 million because the Massachusetts School Building Authority does not reimburse for land acquisition costs. LeftField Senior Project Manager Brian Dakin said the initial estimates put the cost of taking about 24 acres of the Wonderland property at about $23 million. The remaining approximately eight acres of the property could be opened to private development, bringing in tax revenue that in turn could help cover the costs of the land acquisition. Dakin has estimated that the new high school would be open for students by the summer of 2026. During Tuesday’s School Committee vote, committee member Michael Ferrante did raise some questions about the acquisition and cost of the Wonderland property, including if SCHOOL | SEE Page 16 Cambio único en los lugares de voto para los Votantes en los distritos 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 Ciudad de Revere Habrá una elección especial (pregunta de boleta) para el Distrito Escolar Vocacional Regional Metropolitano del Noreste el martes 25 de enero de 2022 de 11:00 a.m. a 6:00 p.m. Para esta única elección, todos los votantes de Revere emitirán sus votos en St. Anthony’s Church, 250 Revere Street, Revere, MA 02151 (Sala de bingo, entrada trasera).

License Commission approves renewals for Boulevard restaurant By Adam Swift A ntonia’s at the Beach is back in business. In December, the License Commission denied a renewal of the 492 Revere Beach Boulevard restaurant’s all alcohol and common victualer licenses because it didn’t have all of its paperwork in order. At Wednesday’s License Commission meeting, the commission approved the renewal of those licenses. According to Attorney James Cipoletta, representing the restaurant, there were several issues that held to the original denial that have now been resolved.

Rather than seeing the underpass at the corner of Revere Beach Parkway and American Legion Highway tagged with low-quality graffi - ti, at this week’s Public Art Commission meeting, commission member and Ward 1 City Councillor Joanne McKenna suggested looking at a way to bring more vibrant street art to the underpass. McKenna said graffiti at the underpass became an issue this summer when the state’s transportation department cut the grass and shrubs, making it easier for taggers to access. “First of all, it really needs to be cleaned up,†said McKenna. She added that sometimes when the city cleans up graffi - ti, they use either a black backdrop or a diff erent color that just becomes a blank canvas for the taggers to come back. McKenna said the graffi ti either needs to be spray washed off , or covered with the same color as the concrete. “If people are going to come down and graffi ti it, maybe we should put out a call to artists, some graffi ti artists that can do a really good job and make a really nice mural,†said McKenna. “But right now, it needs to be covered – that’s a gateway to Revere coming over that bridge.†ART | SEE Page 13 MBTA Proposes Fare Changes, including Permanent 5-Day Flex Pass, Lowering 1-Day LinkPass To $11, Introduction of 7-Day LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders More information on 2022 fare proposals can be found at mbta. com/2022FareChanges. BOSTON – MBTA staff on Thursday presented several fare change proposals that aim to improve equity by closing gaps in existing fare structures for Reduced Fare Riders, minimize pandemic-related revenue implications and budget uncertainties while increasing ridership where possible, and simplify fare tariff rules as the MBTA’s Fare Transformation Program (AFC 2.0) moves forward. If approved by the full MBTA Board in March, these fare changes would go into eff ect on July 1, 2022. The MBTA welcomes public comment on these proposals. “We’re excited about our upcoming fare proposals that prepare for technology updates to come as part of AFC 2.0, increasing equity through improvements to LinkPasses, especially for our Reduced Fare Riders, and making the popular mTicket 5-Day FlexPass permanent for Commuter Rail riders,†said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. “If approved by the MBTA’s Board in March, these proposals will allow the T to continue to best meet the needs of riders through incremental fare improvements that refl ect how they travel now and in the future, while minimizing revenue implications in this time of continued uncertainty.†Making Permanent 5-Day FlexPass on mTicket for Commuter Rail: First introduced as a pandemic fare pilot in June 2020, the 5-Day FlexPass available on mTicket for the Commuter Rail is a bundled fare valid for any fi ve days of travel within a 30-day period. Good for unlimited travel within a 24-hour period, these fi ve passes are available for 10% off the cost of 10 one-way trips. An attractive option for riders whose travel patterns have changed due to hybrid work schedules and the availability of remotework options, the 5-Day FlexPass on mTicket is proposed to be made permanent. If approved, the permanent 5-Day FlexPass would go into eff ect on July 1, 2022, or sooner.

At Tuesday’s School Committee meeting, members voted to have Supt. of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly draft a job description for the position. “This came up last year,†said committee member Stacey Bronsdon-Rizzo. “We were asked to talk about three director positions: One was health and wellness, one was a director of fi ne arts and one was for technology. Although there was money for it, we kind of put it on the back burner.†However, Bronsdon-Rizzo said now might be the time to take the health and wellness positions off the back burner. “With what’s going on with Covid and families, I think it is MBTA | FROM Page 4 fare product, MBTA staff have proposed to lower the cost of the 1-Day LinkPass from $12.75 to $11. An $11 LinkPass pays for itself with fi ve subway rides taken in 24 hours. If approved, the $11 1-Day LinkPass would go into eff ect on July 1, 2022. Expanding Second Transfers on Buses, Express Bus Routes, and/or Subway: Currently, the MBTA only allows one transfer between Bus and/or Subway with one recent addition – CharlieCard riders may transfer from Bus to Subway to Bus. To simplify complexities in the T’s transfer policy, MBTA staff have proposed standardizing the transfer process to allow all combinations of second transfers involving Buses, Express Bus Routes, and/ or Subway, including Bus-BusSubway, Subway-Bus-Bus, and Express Bus-Express Bus. If approved, the second transfers on Subway and Buses and transfers between Express Routes would go into eff ect on July 1, 2022. Proposed Changes for Reduced Fare Riders: Some riders are eligible for reduced fares, including people with disabilities and Medicare cardholders, people 65 and older, some middle and high school students, and people 18 – 25 with low income. MBTA staff have proposed three fare change proposals that aim to improve equity by closing gaps in existing fare structures for Reduced Fare Riders: • Introducing the 7-Day LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders: time that we do hire that Director of Health and Wellness,†she said. “We haven’t had one since 2004, and she was vital to our community.†The basic duties of the position would include developing and implementing strategies and safeguard protocols, promoting and managing the health and wellness of students and staff and addressing the health concerns that interfere with learning, said Bronsdon-Rizzo. Right now, school nurses are under the athletic director, and social workers are under the guidance counselors. BronsdonRizzo said it would make sense to move those positions so they report to a health and wellness director. Since a Health and Wellness Director could come from outside the school system, Bronsdon-Rizzo said, there wouldn’t be an impediment to hiring a Aiming to increase equity by increasing the benefi ts of purchasing fares in bulk for Reduced Fare Riders, MBTA staff have proposed the introduction of a 7-Day LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders, which is not currently available. This 7-Day LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders is proposed to be available for $10, which breaks even after nine subway rides. This product is designed to meet the needs of individuals who might not have enough cash on-hand to aff ord a monthly pass, but who qualify for Reduced Fare programs. Reduced Single Ride fares for Reduced Fare Riders are $1.10 for the subway and $0.85 for the bus with a Reduced Monthly LinkPass available for $30. The Full Fare 7-Day LinkPass is available for $22.50. If approved, the expansion of Reduced Fare 7-Day LinkPass would go into effect on July 1, 2022. • Introducing Monthly Passes for Reduced Fare Riders on Commuter Rail, Ferry, and Express Bus: In order to increase equity by closing gaps in the T’s off ering of products for Reduced Fare Riders, MBTA staff have proposed introducing monthly passes on Commuter Rail, Ferry, and Express Bus for Reduced Fare Riders. This proposal would offer a full set of monthly passes for Reduced Fare Riders at approximately 50% of the full fare pass prices. Currently, Reduced Fare Riders have to purchase Singe Ride tickets to benefi t from the Reduced Fare pricing. If approved, the expansion of Monthly Passes for Reduced Fare Riders would go into eff ect on July 1, 2022. qualifi ed candidate in February. School Committee member Susan Gravellese agreed that the schools should move forward with the position. “Of the three positions, that was the one we were all in agreement on when we discussed that back in November,†she said. School Committee member Carol Tye said the Health and Wellness Director was an important position for the system the last time it was in place. “I was the superintendent then, and she was enormously valuable,†Tye said. “Situations would come up and it might require fi ve or six people to respond, but you need a key person there to make sure each one does whatever their position tells them to do.†The School Committee unanimously voted for Kelly to come back with a job description at the February meeting. • Expanding Availability of the LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders on Commuter Rail Zone 1A and Inner Harbor Ferry: Currently, a LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders is only available on CharlieCard fare media instead of a printed “fl ash pass†CharlieTicket that Commuter Rail conductors and ferry staff can see to visually validate a fare. As more updates take place as part of AFC 2.0, customers will be able to use tappable tickets as well as CharlieCards to travel on the Commuter Rail and Ferries. As such, and to increase access and equitable pricing on Reduced Fare passes, MBTA staff have proposed making the LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders valid for Commuter Rail travel in Zone 1A and on the Charlestown Ferry.

Since the Beachmont Fire Station is a City of Revere building, and the plan is for a city art center, McKenna said, she is hoping there is a way to use some kind of city funds for the renovation. “I really want this to come to fruition and use that fi rehouse, because it has been sitting there for 15 years doing nothing,†said McKenna. ׉ Ú7cassandra://kaHclxPFmHKI6uQkBN4eGuc_9eYCiEiG4eopYZNJE7gÍ)lÍ`Ì°Í×aéûZ„,wj…4Hñ×aéûZ„,wj…4HðÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://ofRQCDL9U23K_tdIq2huw9ufFl0EMt2VJs2pwD_ag24γ’Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://02Wv3CYXNYT_I6_Lk7meFUZRqyrctgorZ47m0AMCWrgÍMÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://O4kXO0X1pxf6WeWFpeTGQRklfiSOT_UWQYSXAaiWG9gÍ*šÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://9W33OeE-LaoTa8wbqhux_zpC8YkSmNPouKxX1NiAQI0η”Í`¢Í ÍÅÍñ×aéû]„,wj…4IטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://qKRVTcmNwDyg9-vr5zNCPciUeOBP1INP9nJu092iqfs΢AÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://6zcAJXQ1GNxCg8bNCFUm_dlbphyd5QyG66UVTlJ7EsEÍ™†Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://XpHGCIkWaBMuee3bblj7virDlymceR4WXV2O_2PDgW4Í-bÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://efWETVK2Q2uhQ6XAHzdrusL4R-fMwG7uAYbBUsFbNFQÎ#÷ÍjÍ ÍÅÍñ×aéû]„,wj…4I’× ×aéû]„,wj…4IÍkÍ$Í~9×HÚ$http://Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma× × Ј× ×aéû]„,wj…4IÍŸÍÍ 9×HÚ"http://www.eight10barandgrille.com× × Ј׉EÚÊPage 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 2022 Honoring the memory and celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 100 Salem Turnpike, Saugus, MA 01906 WIN-WASTE.COM To Vote on a new Voke City residents will get to vote Tuesday on whether to support a proposed new Northeast Metro Tech By Mark E. Vogler R evere registered voters will go to one polling location Tuesday in a special election that will determine whether plans for a proposed new $317 million Northeast Metro Tech proceed. The voting will take place at the St. Anthony’s Church Bingo Hall from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., instead of being held at the usual polling locations. New Elections Commissioner Paul Fahey will oversee the election in Revere. Revere, along with the 11 other communities that make up the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School District, will vote simultaneously on a “Yes†of “No†question “to authorize the borrowing of $317,422,620 to pay costs of designing, constructing, originally equipping and furnishing a new Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School and related athletic facilities, located at 100 Hemlock Road in Wakefi eld†– site of the current school. A simple majority vote will decide if the project continues. In that case, the city would have to hold another special election to decide on how to fi nance the project, which has been estimated to cost up to $32 million over a 30-year period for the city’s share. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) awarded the District a grant of up to $140.8 million in August 2021, the most in its history. The remaining cost will be assessed on a per pupil basis to district member communities through the issuance of a 30-year construction bond, with the largest impact beginning in Fiscal Year 2026 – three years from now during the height of construction. The new school will feature 21st-century learning environments, improved Individualized Education Program (IEP) accommodations, state-of-theart shop and technical lab space, expanded program offerings, a new primary access roadway from Farm Street to reduce trafArtist renderings of the main entrance and other sides of the proposed Northeast Metro Tech School (Courtesy photos by Northeast Metro Tech to The Saugus Advocate) fi c congestion, a full-size gym, a 750-seat auditorium, outdoor learning space and a new cafeteria. “Northeast Metropolitan Technical School’s goal is to ensure every student reaches their full potential and to fi nd employment in well-paying, high-demand jobs upon graduation,†Superintendent David DiBarri said. “All of the work that has gone into developing this proposed project and presenting it to our communities for approval has been done with those core goals in mind.†Northeast Metro Tech currently serves about 1,300 students in its career technical education programs, but only has the capacity to accept 41 percent of applicants each year.

Martin Luther King Jr. on his national holiday and the words of Mayor Brian Arrigo, “(W)e can use Martin Luther King’s legacy as an opportunity to lift the spirit of humanity across our city as we recognize the power of our diff erences in making progress for the future.†Also, the commentary by Dr. Paul G. Kengor (TEACH MLK, CRT) was a powerful message on how far we have strayed from Dr. King’s life’s work of creating an America that was open to all. He was not about White Power or Black Power but about God’s Power and the Power of all of us together recognizing our common humanity. VOTE | FROM Page 6 built 53 years ago in 1968, and the facility has outlived its intended lifespan. Classrooms and shops are overcrowded, infrastructure systems are outdated and the building does not comply with existing Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, according to school officials. Northeast Metro Tech has not had any signifi cant renovations, additions or improvements since then. Students are facing several issues that are reCritical Race Theory is the very opposite of what King sought for this nation of ours that was too often divided by race and sustained by political arsonists who seem to love dividing us from one another. King’s theory was also critical and many refused to hear it. His theory was working past our past and into a future where the aspirations of all our people could work together for the best in us and our nation. Dr. King’s dream was a goal and one that may never be reached but we must continue to strive toward the day when skin color is less important than the character inside our skins. CRT is a hateful approach whose object is to keep us apart and too often in a hateful place. I met Dr. King once when he came to Boston for a racial jusducing the quality of the educational experience the school is able to provide. The school is at capacity and more than 300 students are waitlisted every year. The existing school’s media center is used as conference space due to a lack of otherwise available space. The proposed new school design includes adequate conference spaces, allowing students to use the media center for its intended purpose.

I was 19 years old a few years later on April 4, 1968 when he was assassinated by James Earl Ray. America’s roots are not 400 years of racism. America is, yes, imperfect because we are all imperfect people. We are no longer who we were back in 1776, or during the Civil War or in the midst of the civil rights struggles in the ’50s and ’60s. We grow as a nation. We grow as a people. None of us are who we were last year or even yesterday. Our American life is always a place that strives to be better than we were before. Dr. Kengor is correct. CRT divides us, “We need to unite people around what is true. Teach MLK, not CRT.†along with a full code and regulations update. School offi cials say enrollment will increase by approximately 320 students versus the current enrollment. This is a major benefi t of the project, as the District currently rejects more freshman applications than they accept due to space limitations.

Online applications to be expanded to the MBTA’s other free and reduced fare programs in 2022. BOSTON – The MBTA announced this week the launch of the new digital Youth Pass application available online at mbta.com/youthpass/apply. “Providing young adults with more convenient access to this secure, easy-to-use application is another step in providing broader access to the MBTA’s system through the Youth Pass’s discounted fares and monthly passes,†said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. “We continue to be excited to expand the reach of the Youth Pass through our municipal and community partnerships, and we’re proud to see the offi cial launch of this online application, which we aim to expand to other reduced fare programs in 2022.†“With our industry-leading design and research process, we are able to deliver improvements like this to riders faster than ever – all while ensuring the tools we build are secure and accessible to everyone,†said MBTA Chief Digital Offi cer POST 6712 150 BENNINGTON STREET REVERE, MA 02151 TEL: 617-418-5476 OR 617-418-5011 PLEASE COME JOIN US FOR LIVE MUSIC PREFORMED BY THE “KICKING BACK†BAND FRIDAY, JANUARY 28th AT 7pm GET YOUR DANCING SHOES ON!!!!!! David Gerstle. “Truly a collaborative eff ort,†said City of Boston Department of Youth Engagement & Employment leadership. “As the largest Youth Pass municipal partner/administrator, we believe the development of the new MBTA online application could not have come at a more critical time for Boston’s eligible youth and young adult population. This new application allows us to streamline the Youth Pass application process and enhance our partnership with the MBTA to ensure we’re expanding our reach and always improving systems, processes and services for young people across the City of Boston to access this important resource.†The Youth Pass is a card that can be used by eligible young adults with low incomes to purchase roughly 50% reduced one-way fares or $30 monthly LinkPasses for the bus, subway, and Fairmount Line Zone 1A stations at MBTA Fare Vending Machines, the CharlieCard Store, fare boxes on buses and trolleys at street-level stops, or at retail sales locations. Youth Pass cards can also be used to purchase half-price one-way fares for Commuter Rail, Express Bus, and ferry. Previously, young adults were required to complete the application process in-person at the location of their local Youth Pass offi ce, including bringing their eligibility documents and submitting a paper application form. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MBTA prioritized and accelerated the creation and implementation of the online application process. Applicants can now apply to the program remotely and easily online from their home computer or mobile device without having to visit their local Youth Pass offi ce in-person. Young adults residing in any participating municipalities can now simply visit mbta.com/youthpass/apply to complete the online application, which is available in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Portuguese. Applicants can use the online application to upload their eligibility documents and select to have their Youth Pass card mailed or picked up from their local Youth Pass offi ce, if approved. In collaboration with the MBTA’s Commercial Strategies and Programs team, the MBTA’s Customer Technology Department accelerated the development of the online application, accomplishing the project’s design, user testing, and launch through the use of SimpliGov’s no-code, cloudbased platform. “SimpliGov is proud to partner with MBTA to create a user-friendly customer experience and seamless online application process available to nearly 20 municipalities participating in this critical program for the community,†said SimpliGov CEO Gary Leiken. “This is the fi rst of many processes we will be automating with MBTA to help serve local young adults eligible for free and reducedfare transportation programs in Massachusetts, which is an incredibly important community mission and citizen service.†Based on fi ndings from multiple rounds of user tests with Youth Pass administrators and riders, and three pilot online applications, the Customer Technology team tailored the Youth Pass application for simplicity, ease of use, and security. The MBTA devised a single, streamlined process in the SimpliGov platform that allows Youth Pass administrators in participating municipalities to process, verify, and deliver Youth Pass CharlieCards within fi ve business days with minimal error. The MBTA also anticipates launching similar online applications to the other free and reduced fare programs within the coming months. The MBTA’s growing list of municipalities and community partners participating in the Youth Pass program includes Arlington, Attleboro, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Framingham, Lexington, Malden, Medford, Melrose, the North Shore, Quincy, Revere, Somerville, Wakefi eld, Watertown, and Worcester.

The Patriots had won four of their previous fi ve games, and the lone loss came by just three points. On Wednesday, Revere managed just six points in the opening quarter but still stayed close enough. They trailed visiting Everett by only a 28-24 margin at halftime and played tough to the end before coming up short, 59-47, in a low-scoring aff air. Revere lost in similar fashion in the season opener at Everett back in December. In that game, the Patriots stayed with the Crimson Tide until the fi nal minutes before losing a 67-53 decision. On Wednesday, Domenic Boudreau and Sal DeAngelis were the only two Patriots in double fi gures. Boudreau netted 12 points, including two 3-pointers, and DeAngelis contributed 11, with a three of his own. All told, six players made the scoring column for Revere. Hamza Ghoul collected six points, followed by three from Ramadan Barry (on a three-pointer) and two each from James Clauto and Ihssan Mourouane. The Patriots hit on nine of 17 free throws. DeAngelis had four of those points from the stripe. Revere had 29 rebounds as a team and committed 16 turnovers. Defensively, Jack D’Ambrosio finished with seven boards and a blocked shot.

Tax Breaks for Caregiver of Elderly Parents Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any tax breaks that you know of for family caregivers? I help fi nancially support my 82-year-old mother and would like to fi nd out if I can write any of these expenses off on my taxes. Supplemental Sam Dear Sam, There are actually several tax credits and deductions available to adult children who help look after their aging parents or other relatives. Here are some options along with the IRS requirements to help you determine if you’re eligible to receive them. Tax Credit for Other Dependents If your mom lives with you and you’re paying more than 50 percent of her living expenses (housing, food, utilities, health care, repairs, clothing, travel and other necessities), and her 2021 gross income was under $4,300, you can claim your mom as a dependent and get a nonrefundable tax credit of up to $500. If you happen to split your mom’s expenses with other siblings, only one of you can claim your mom as a dependent, and that person must pay at least 10 percent of her support costs. This is called a “multiple support agreement.†The IRS has an interactive tool that will help you determine if your mom qualifi es as a dependent. Go to IRS.gov/help/ ita, scroll down to “Credits,†and click on “Does My Child/Dependent Qualify for the Child Tax Credit or the Credit for Other Dependents?†Medical Deductions If you claim you mom as a dependent and you help pay her medical, dental and/or longterm care expenses, and weren’t reimbursed by insurance, you can deduct the expenses that are more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). So, for example, if your adjusted gross income is $80,000, anything beyond the first $6,000 of your mom’s medical bills – or 7.5 percent of your AGI – could be deductible on your return. So, if you paid $8,000 in medical bills for her, $2,000 of it could be deductible. You can also include your own medical expenses in calculating the total. You should also know that your state might have a lower AGI threshold, which means you might get a break on your state income taxes even if you can’t get one on your federal income taxes. To see which medical expenses you can and can’t deduct, see IRS Publication 502 at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf. Dependent Care Credit If you’re paying for in-home care or adult day care for your mom so you are free to work, you might qualify for the Dependent Care Tax Credit which can be worth as much as $4,000. To be eligible your mom must have been physically or mentally incapable of self-care and must have lived with you for more than six months. To claim this tax credit, fi ll out IRS Form 2441 (IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ f2441.pdf) when you fi le your federal return. Flexible Health Savings Accounts If you have a health savings account (HSA) or your employer off ers a fl exible savings account (FSA), you can use them to pay for your mom’s medical expenses if she qualifi es as a dependent. But be aware that if you use an HSA or FSA to pay for your mom’s medical costs, you can’t take a tax deduction on those expenses too. For more information, see IRS Publication 969, “Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans†at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p969.pdf. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Revere man indicted for drug and gun possession By Christopher Roberson H eld in federal custody since July 2021, Cesar Rivera, 22, of Revere, was indicted on January 12 for the alleged possession of crack cocaine, fentanyl and a firearm. According to law enforcement offi cials, by December 2020, Rivera had amassed a number of outstanding warrants related to state firearm cases. Rivera allegedly failed to appear in court for more than one year. However, on December 22, 2020, police found him at a Malden car wash and took him into custody. At the time, Rivera was reportedly carrying more than 28 grams of crack cocaine, fentanyl and a fi rearm. He was subsequently charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute 28 grams of crack cocaine and fentanyl as well as one count of possession of a fi rearm in furtherance of a drug traffi cking crime. If convicted, Rivera could face life plus 40 years in prison and up to $5.2 million in fi nes. ART | FROM Page 4 Commission member Rob Zierten said the call to street artists could be tied into a mural project for an underpass along the Northern Strand Community Trail, where there would be a half dozen artists painting a portion of the underpass each. “If we have a group of street artists working with the one Northern Strand spot, one could be given that mural,†after the work was judged on the Northern Strand, Zierten said. Commission member Brian Harkins said if there were street art along the underpass, he would like to see it done by someone from Revere. “This being street art done by taggers, we want to engage the Revere tagging community and engage with them so they do less of destructive tagging and more of creative street art using air cans,†said Harkins. McKenna said she likes the suggestions from Zierten and Harkins, and she suggested waiting until the Northern Strand project is further along before making a fi nal decision. “We can deter graffiti artists from tagging if it is a really good, aesthetically pleasing piece of art,†said McKenna. 1.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of January 10-14. There were no roll calls in the House last week. MAKE ADOPTION BY FAMILY MEMBERS EASIER (S 2616) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would repeal a current law which prohibits adoption of children by family members including older siblings, aunts and uncles. The proposal would allow these family members, with the permission of the county probate courts, to legally adopt their family members. Current law only allows these family members to apply to become a guardian. Sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) said that this archaic law was put in place at the beginning of the last century to prevent the potential for inheritance abuse, but the commonwealth has since adopted legal protections, such as conservatorships, to prevent this from occurring. “Our families are often our largest sources of support and what a family looks like can mean diff erent things to diff erent people,†said Lovely. “I fi led [the bill] to better refl ect the realities of the lives of Massachusetts residents who love and care for one another … our most vulnerable youth deserve to be cared for by the people who know and love them, and who can best assess their needs.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill). Sen. Joseph Boncore has resigned MAKE OBTAINING ID CARDS EASIER FOR HOMELESS PERSONS (S 2612) Senate 39-0 approved and sent to the House legislation that would make it easier for homeless youth and adults to secure free state ID cards.

Supporters said that currently, a person experiencing homelessness faces prohibitive fees and documentation requirements when trying to obtain an ID card. They noted that ID cards are necessary for applying for jobs, enrolling in school, interacting with law enforcement, accessing government buildings, opening fi nancial accounts and many other basic services that many take for granted. “As the state begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn, the Legislature must ensure that individuals experiencing homelessness have the same fundamental opportunities to live happily,†said the measure’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester). “One fundamental key to accessing basic services are state-issued IDs. Currently, people experiencing homelessness face significant financial and bureaucratic barriers when they attempt to obtain an ID. Now is the time to break down bureaucratic barriers that fuel the cycle of poverty and to ensure equality for all the commonwealth’s residents as we look towards a post-pandemic world.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill). Sen. Joseph Boncore has resigned HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of January 10-14, the House met for a total of 39 minutes and the Senate met for a total of three hours and nine minutes. Mon.

Also assume the husband’s monthly social security benefit is $2,000 and the wife’s monthly social security benefi t is $1,000. Also assume it is the husband that enters into a nursing home. Pursuant to Massachusetts regulation 130CMR520.019(D)(1), the husband can transfer his interest in the home to his wife without the imposition of the fi ve-year look back period. The wife who is still at home can keep $137,400 of the bank account monies. The husband can only keep $2,000 in order to qualify for MassHealth nursing home benefi ts. For eleventh hour Medicaid planning in this example, the wife can purchase a Medicaid annuity in the amount of $460,600, in order to convert what would otherwise be countable resources required to be spent down on nursing home level care, to an income stream that she would receive on a monthly basis. The monthly annuity payment to the wife would be hers to keep in order to continue to be able to pay her monthly living expenses. The husband’s social security benefi t would be required to be paid to the nursing home. He would be able to keep $72.80 as a personal needs allowance and would be given credit for any health insurance premiums that would continue to be paid in order to keep any existing health insurance policies in place. The $460,600 is arrived at by taking the $600,000 bank account monies less the $2,000 the husband can keep less the $137,400 the wife can keep. The $460,600 in excess assets is what will be used to purchase the Medicaid annuity. The goal would be to purchase the shortest-term annuity for the wife. The term of the annuity cannot be greater than the wife’s life expectancy. If the wife was 75 years old with a life expectancy of 12 years, you would still look to purchase an annuity with a term of no longer than fi ve years. The sooner the wife collects on the annuity, the greater ability she would have to plan in order to protect those annuity payments if she so desires. MassHealth is now requiring to be named as the remainder benefi ciary of the Medicaid annuity to recover nursing home benefi ts paid on behalf of the nursing home spouse. Therefore, if the wife were to collect all or a majority of the annuity payments over that fi ve- year term, and if the wife were to die having never gone into a nursing home, those monies accumulated would have been protected for the children. Once the home is in the wife’s name, she has the option of then transferring to an irrevocable trust in order to avoid probate, start the fi veyear look back period running, and to leave the home to her children in order to preserve the asset for the next generation.

All participants will start at Copley Plaza at 8:30 a.m. for the check-in followed by a 9 a.m. start. The two-mile walk begins and ends at Copley Plaza. Participants, housed and homeless, will walk together shoulder to shoulder and hear real stories of Boston’s homeless population. The walk is co-chaired by Jessie and Enrique Colbert of Wayfair and Katie and David Beeston of the Boston Red Sox. During the past fi ve years, the Winter Walk has raised more than $2 million, all of which has gone to Winter Walk partner organizations providing direct service and programs to Boston’s homeless community. All participants are encouraged to donate or help raise funds with a registration fee of $100 for adults and $50 for youths and students.

Richard “Dick†was born on January 2, 1951, son to the late Vincent and Dorothy (McDougall) Moscato. Married for 37 years, devoted husband and loving father to Lauren Maher and husband Gerald, and adoring grandfather to Ella Maeve. He leaves behind many beloved family members including his brother, Joseph and wife Roberta, sister, Nancy Amos, sister- in- law Judith Williams and husband Brian and brother- inlaw Richard McGovern and wife Colleen, and many nieces and nephews. Dick cherished the time spent with his family. He raised his family in Wakefi eld, MA and spent the summers boating and winters skiing at their vacation home in Bridgton, ME. Dick enjoyed volunteering his time to coaching various youth sports teams in Wakefi eld throughout the years. A few special lifetime memories were his trips to Australia for his daughter’s 21st birthday and to Italy for his 35th wedding anniversary, his daughter’s wedding and the birth of his granddaughter. Growing up in Revere in the 60s and 70s, everyone had a nickname and got in some kind of trouble. His nickname was “The Bird†as he was the fastest runner on the sports teams, and he was well known for sharing outlandish stories of the “pool room†and the “corner†where everyone knew he was quite the troublemaker. Following his retirement from the Sheet Metal International Union Local 17, Dick enjoyed golfi ng, boating, yard work and his annual trips to Florida. He was a longtime member of the Winthrop Yacht Club and Winthrop Elks. The Moscato family would like to respectfully thank Dr. Edward Jewell of the Vascular Surgery Department at Lahey Clinic and his team for the unconditional care, treatment and support they have given Dick over the past 8 years. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Dick’s Celebration of Life will be held at a future date at the Boston University Marsh Chapel. Fellow boaters will be welcomed this summer to the spreading of his ashes at Spectacle Island where he and Mary would spend Sundays picnicking among the sea glass. Donations can be made in his memory to Hebrew Senior Life, 1200 Centre St., Boston, MA 02131 or by visiting www.hebrewseniorlife.org.
