anything, really,” said Argenzio.
But it was the fi rst day in years
that Argenzio wasn’t braced for
a telephone call from someone
with a problem that needed to
be solved. After 43 years on the
job, Friday was the fi rst offi cial
day of Argenzio’s retirement
from the Revere Department of
Public Works.
Argenzio, a lifelong resident
of Revere who lives in the same
house he grew up in in Ward 4,
started at the DPW as a laborer
when he was 19 years old. He
worked his way up to foreman
and took assignments through
the different branches of the
DPW until ultimately being

evere resident Paula Andrea
Tobon has joined Project

“We fi rmly believe that hunger
can be resolved when we
collectively share our strategies,
and we work together towards
solutions informed by
the experiences of the people
we aim to serve,” says Project
Bread Vice President of Engagement,
Catalina López-Ospina,
a Colombian immigrant who’s
seen food insecurity in her own
family and made it a mission in
her work. “Our vision is for Massachusetts
to become the fi rst
hunger-free state in the nation.
The Council of Experts will
play a vital role in helping us to
achieve our vision. With their
knowledge, input, and ideas, we
are confi dent that we will make
signifi cant progress toward impactful,
sustainable, and systemic
solutions to end hunger
in Massachusetts.”
Tobon emigrated to the United
States from Colombia five
years ago with nowhere to go,
without speaking English and
without knowing what was
waiting for her. The Revere resident
is the mother of three and
is an international neuro-linguistic
programmer. She has worked
washing cars, driving a cab, in
a kitchen and cleaning houses,
but she never stopped believing
in herself and is now an
administrative assistant in a private
company. Tobon created
and is the owner of Changes,
an organization with a purpose
to provide neuro-linguistic programming
techniques that lead
to success to individuals and
work groups. She will be working
closely with Project Bread’s
Communications team on various
projects this year.
“As an immigrant myself, I
am excited to help people in
the same situation that I went
through,” says Tobon. “Universal
School Meals has signifi cantly
relieved my family’s fi nancial
burden. I’m looking forward to
expanding my knowledge in
the fi eld of personal advocacy
to help people and bring the
community together for a common
cause.”
The Council of Experts with
Lived Experience was curated
through a self-nomination
system. Individuals who speak
English, Spanish, Portuguese,
Chinese, Vietnamese and Haitian
Creole were encouraged
to apply. Experts are serving
from October 2023 through
July 2024, and they have committed
10 hours of engagement
per month. During their term,
Council members will not only
actively contribute to Project
Bread’s key organizational projects
but also have the opportunity
to enhance their community
and civic leadership. This will
enable them to advocate for
their priorities and those of their
communities. The goal is to empower
the community to advocate
for eff ective solutions that
meet the needs of all.
This past year, Project Bread
led the Feed Kids Coalition in
successfully campaigning for
the passage of permanent free
school meals in Massachusetts,
and organization’s work in
schools to expand school breakfast
programs and food quality
continues. Project Bread is also
leading nationally on addressing
hunger through the health
care system, partnering with
health care centers statewide for
referrals to Project Bread’s FoodSource
Hotline, and individual
case management for patients
with complex diagnoses facing
food insecurity. The Council of
Experts will advise on these programs
and policies, and more,
to increase food security statewide.

BBB Scam Alert: Looking for Ozempic? Spot a
scam before you buy phony medicine
W
hen demand for something
exceeds its supply, scammers
are quick to take advantage.
It’s happened recently with popular
toys, baby formula and even
rental cars. Now, it’s happening
with Ozempic, a prescription-only
drug for people with Type 2 diabetes.
Scammers are aware of
the drug’s popularity for weight
loss, and they’re targeting folks
looking for a convenient way to
purchase it.
Here’s what you need to know
to stay alert. How this scam works:
You are looking online for a pharmacy
that carries Ozempic and
are pointed to a website claiming
to sell the drug at a reduced
price. You might fi nd the website
through a web search, an ad or
even a friend’s post on social media.
The website claims that buying
Ozempic is easy and you can
save a few hundred dollars by
purchasing it online vs. through
a doctor. All you must do is make
a payment through a digital wallet
app like CashApp or Zelle
(CashApp and Zelle are Better
Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited
Businesses as of this writing in
December 2023).
Many such websites don’t even
ask for a prescription before “selling”
the drug, but some sites work
harder to appear that you are
dealing with a legitimate pharmaceutical
company. One consumer

signifi cant economic growth in
recent years and the work of this
committee will be a vital part of
how we can create growth for all
in our city and region.
Mayor Keefe appointed Mike
McLaughlin as the Executive Director
of the all-volunteer Policies
for Progress Committee, and
he will be joined by State Senator
Lydia Edwards, State Representatives
Jessica Giannino and Jeff
Turco, former State Representative
Kathi Reinstein, Joseph Gravellese,
Kerri Perullo and Claudia
Correa.
Additional subcommittees
and members include:
• City Services Subcommittee
– chaired by Melrose Mayor Paul

Director/City Auditor Ed Bean
• Education & Safety Subcommittee
– chaired by Carol Tye –
Kevin O’Hara, Rachel Haas

• Housing & Economic Development

• City Hall Culture & Innovation
Subcommittee – chaired by

“I am honored to be serving
reported having a “tele-consult”
with a “doctor” before paying to
receive Ozempic. The consumer
told BBB: “I have not received the
drug. When I reach out to customer
service, they send automated
responses. They refuse to refund
my money, even though they
claim not to know when or if the
drug will be shipped.”
In some versions of the scam,
the con artists claim to encounter
issues when shipping the drug, all
of which require additional fees.
For example, after your initial payment,
scammers might insist that
you need to pay for insurance or
a discreet shipping fee to get the
package past customs. If you refuse,
scammers might resort to
threats. For example, they might
claim to report the transaction to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), and you’ll be held responsible
for buying illegal drugs
without a prescription.
In reality, scammers never
planned on sending you anything
at all. Any problems encountered
when “shipping” the medication
is only a trick to get even
more money from you. If you give
in and use a digital payment app
to send funds, your money is gone
for good.
How to avoid similar scams:
• Don’t buy medicines from foreign
countries. The FDA warns
consumers that non-FDA-apas

working with other leaders, creators
and doers to drive new progress

committee is looking
forward to celebrating Mayor
proved products sold by internet
pharmacies in other countries
can be downright dangerous.
Avoid risking your health and
getting scammed by sticking with
pharmacies based in the country
where you live.
• Don’t buy prescription-only
medications from a seller who
doesn’t ask you for a prescription.
This is a huge red fl ag and one
of the biggest signs that you are
dealing with a scammer. Even if
they are selling the drug, off ering
it to consumers without a prescription
is illegal.
• Watch out for unreasonably low
prices. This is another red fl ag. Ask
yourself, “Why is a vendor off ering
a high-demand, name-brand
prescription at such a low price?”
It’s probably a scam. After paying,
you could end up with counterfeit
products or no products at all.
• Don’t use digital wallet apps to
pay for a prescription. A reputable
pharmacy won’t ask you to make
a payment using a digital wallet
app, prepaid debit cards, or wired
funds. These payment methods
are a common denominator in
countless scams.
• Only buy from reputable pharmacies.
If you come across a pharmacy
online that you aren’t familiar
with, research is a must. Make
sure the business has legitimate
contact information and a working
phone number. Look for conKeefe’s
fi rst 100 days with a formal
Celebration,
as well as his inaugural

~ RHS PATRIOTS SPORTS ROUNDUP ~
Revere swimming
starts strong
The Revere High School swimming
team has split its fi rst two
meets. The team beat Lynn English
at home, 77-65.
The Patriots won all three
of the relay events. In the
200-medley relay, seniors Vilson
Lipa, Alem Cesic, Juan Cano
and Nate Hill got the win. In the
200-free relay, Hill was joined by
fellow seniors Matt Terrell, Harrison
Rua and freshman Wilson
Feng in the victory. In the 400free
relay, Cesic, Lipa, Cano and
Terrell combined for the win.
Cesic had individual wins in
the 200 IM and the 500-free.
Terrell won both the 200-free
and the 100-fly. Hill won the
100-free and took second in
the 100-breast. Cano won the
50-free and the 100-back. Lipa
took second in the 100-back
and 100-free.
Sophomore Leah Zuniga took
third in the 200-free and 500free.
Senior Jannet Sehli captured
fourth in the 50- and 100free
and led a 200-medley relay
team to a third-place fi nish with
Rua, Feng and sophomore Nico
Pedrazza. Rua also had a second-place
fi nish in the 50-free
and third in 100-breast.
Somerville nipped Revere, 8381,
in the other meet. “It was a
very tight meet,” Revere coach
Christopher Hill said. “They got
off to a good start winning the
200-medley, but we won the
next three events.”
Terrell took the 200-free with
Sehli taking fourth. Cesic and
Hill went 1-2 in the 200-IM, then
Cano won in the 50-free and
qualifi ed for states with a time
of 22.85. Rua took fourth. Terrell
won the 100-fl y, and Hill won a
very tight 500-free that came
down to the last few strokes.
Cesic, Rua, Lipa and Terrell won
the 200-free relay. Cano won
the 100-back, and Cesic and Rua
went 1-2 in the breast.
Somerville got lots of second-
and third-place fi nishes,
and they went 1-2-3 in the 100
free. In the fi nal race, the 400free
team of Hill, Cano, Lipa and
Terrell took first, but Somerville
getting second and third
was just enough to give them
the win.
Revere this Thursday takes
on Shawsheen Tech in a nonleague
meet.
Revere splits in its
hoops tourney
Revere in its own holiday
tourney made it to the fi nals
before losing to Milton, 40-25.
Revere opened up the tourney
with a 69-12 win over Boston
United. Belma Velic led the Patriots
with 18 points, and Ikram
Bichou led the team with nine
rebounds.
“It was a very high-scoring
game for us,” Revere coach Ariana
Rivera said, “and a strong
defensive game holding Boston
United to under 15 points.
Our bench contributed with
27 points to add to the victory.”
Against Milton, Haley Belloise
had 13 points, and Shayna
smith led the Patriots with seven
rebounds.
“We had 28 turnovers as a
team and managed to stay in
the game but couldn’t chip
away in time,” Rivera said. “We
struggled with man-to-man
pressure.”
Belloise and Alisha Jean, on
most nights, are the team’s
strongest players offensively.
“Our best off ensive game is getting
post touches and the ball
in the paint,” Rivera said. “We
struggle with outside shooting
as a team only having six
made 3-pointers. We struggle
with full-court ball pressure and
ball pressure in the half. That’s
where a huge chunk of our
turnovers come from. Rushing
our off ense and sloppy passes
when faced with full-court
pressure.”
Defense is a strength for Revere,
the coach said. “We have
a lot of size under the basket
which helps a lot with rebounds
and getting our transition offense
going,” Rivera said. “We
are working on implementing a
full-court press that works with
the size we have in hopes to apply
a little more defensive pressure
on teams.”
Revere earned a 25-22 victory
on Jan. 2 over Malden. The
Patriots had a big night on the
boards from Velic, who grabbed
15 rebounds and chipped in
with seven points. Rocio Gonzalez
had some clutch buckets
among her seven points.
Revere girls track
team finishes 2023,
starts 2024 strong
The Revere girls track team

junior Liv Yuong, who placed

with a jump of 5-0. Yuong
also competed in her fi rst pentathlon

• Shotput (21-11)
• Long jump (15-5)
• High jump (4-11.5)

Revere started off the New
Year with a Greater Boston
League meet vs. Lynn English
and Chelsea. The girls got the
win on both sides, defeating
Chelsea, 58-41, and defeating
Lynn English, 61-33.
Against Chelsea, Jaliyah Manigo
(300, 49.42), Stamatopoulos
(600, 1:52.63), Rupp (mile,
6:34.74), Yuong (high jump,

edicare Part A premiums
are free for most retirees.
This is for hospital coverage.
Medicare Part B is not free.
This is for outpatient coverage.
Medicare Part D is for prescription
coverage and involves a
premium as in Part B coverage.
Many taxpayers are surprised
when they receive a
letter from Social Security
stating that their Medicare
Part B and Part D coverage
will be increasing dramatically
for the upcoming calendar
year. They refer to this
as IRMAA (the Income-Related
Monthly Adjustment
Amount). This would apply,
for example, if you sold an investment
property at a substantial
capital gain in calendar
year 2022. Your income
tax return would not be fi led
until the early part of calendar
year 2023. Therefore, your IRMAA
adjustment would not
be applicable until calendar
year 2024.
If this was a one- time capital
gain, then for 2025 your
Medicare premiums would
drop down back to normal as
your 2024 Form 1040 would
not include that substantial
capital gain income. There
are other instances where an
IRMAA adjustment would be
applicable. For example, you
withdrew $100,000 from your
Traditional IRA account which
was all taxable, or a signifi cant
capital gain realized from the
sale of stock.
For calendar year 2024, if
you are single. You will pay an
IRMAA surcharge if your modifi
ed adjusted gross income
(MAGI) is over $103,000. For
a married fi ling joint tax return,
the fi gure is $206,000.
Even your non-taxable Social
Security benefi ts are inaway
from the city,” he said.
So last fall he ran for the Ward
4 City Council seat left open by
Mayor Patrick Keefe and won a
decisive victory. “I had an advantage
of being well known,” he said
with a laugh.
To his surprise, Argenzio found
he enjoyed walking the ward,
knocking on doors and talking to
residents. “I’ve always had an interest
in politics, always watched
COUNCILLOR | FROM Page 1
the council,” he said.
And campaigning for the job
of ward councillor wasn’t that different
than heading up the DPW.
“I don’t think it will be much of a
change for me,” he said. “I listen to
whatever problems people have
and most problems are public
works–related issues.”
Argenzio prides himself on being
reactive to residents and city
councillors. “Always being there
was important; I made it my business
to be accessible,” he said.
And it wasn’t always easy. Major
events like Hurricane Gloria
in 1985, the tornado that hit Revere
in 2014 and the April Fool’s
Day Snowstorm in 1997 were serious
and stressful challenges. Argenzio
said clearing the streets
for police and fi re vehicles was
always a priority. And then there
were the sewer overflows and
water main breaks in the dead of
winter. “Those were sometimes
34-to-36-hour-long hauls,” he
said, adding that that’s one thing
he won’t miss about the job.
Argenzio was pleased to see
the department fi nally in a new
facility, specifically for public
works. “That was a high point for
me,” he said.
“We’ve always been in some
old, abandoned building,” he said.
Having a dedicated space for the
millions of dollars of city-owned
equipment was a public works
step forward.
Argenzio said he enjoyed carcluded
as part of the total income
fi gure.
Many people don’t realize
that your Medicare Part
D prescription coverage premium
will increase as well,
even though you are making
monthly payments to a
private insurance company
such as Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Often times, if one spouse
dies, the surviving spouse
might end up being assessed
the IRMAA surcharge going
forward. For example, if the
married couple’s MAGI was
$175,000 when they fi led a
joint income tax return, that
fi gure is below the threshold
of $203,000 before the IRMAA
surcharge would become
applicable. If the surviving
spouse’s MAGI end’s up being
$140,000 in the year after the
deceased spouse’s death, that
fi gure is above the $103,000
level for a single person and
the surcharge would then be
applicable.
As a further note, none of
your itemized deductions,
such as real estate taxes, state
income taxes, or mortgage
interest help to reduce the
IRMAA surcharge. These deductions
are not taken into
consideration when calculating
MAGI.

ing for the city’s athletic fi elds and
parks and the grounds of public
buildings, such as the library, city
schools and the senior center.
There was also plenty of budgeting,
scheduling and paperwork,
grants and loans to oversee. All
of which gives him a head start
as a new city councillor looking
at city problems and issues.
But what Argenzio said he valued
most during his 43 years at
the DPW were the relationships
with residents, DPW workers,
city department heads and offi -
cials. “It was very satisfying being
able to help a lot of people with
problems,” he said, adding that 75
percent of city problems involve
public works.
“But I won’t miss the calls, one
after another,” he said, adding
that there was always some crisis.
Still, Argenzio seems ready for
calls from Ward 4 constituents.
And he’s looking forward to
serving with five other new
city councillors. “There’s six new
councillors; we’ve never had that
amount of change,” he said. “The
biggest issue is the new high
school, and I look forward to talking
about it.”
He said he was dismayed to
see that talks about the high
school became so personal and
he’s hoping the new council will
be able to compromise. “Maybe
the conversation can get back on
track,” he said.
Argenzio can certainly bring
a new perspective on the culvert
that has been a shock to
those who supported the plan
to build the school on the existing
site. “The culvert was an issue
43 years ago,” he said. “It has to be
addressed no matter where the
high school goes.”
Argenzio has had a front row
seat to all of the change and
growth in the city for the past
four decades. It’s home and it’s
a place he is committed to serving.
“Revere is a vibrant community,
with great diversity and it’s
close to Boston but not in Boston.”

DCR and Greenbelt Announce Conservation
Restriction on Lynn Woods, Permanently
Protecting the Park from Development
Gift of Conservation Restriction from the City of Lynn Ensures More Than 2,000 Acres of Land Will
Remain Accessible to the Public for Recreation and Water Supply
LYNN – The Department of
Conservation and Recreation
(DCR) and Greenbelt, Essex
County’s Land Trust (Greenbelt),
today announced they
have partnered to protect more
than 2,000 acres of Lynn Woods,
as part of a decades-long eff ort
with the City of Lynn to permanently
preserve the park and ensure
it remains an important recreational
resource for the region
and a supplier of clean water for
city residents. DCR and Greenbelt
were gifted a conservation
restriction on Lynn Woods Reservation
by the City and the Lynn
Water and Sewer Commission,
who own and manage the land.
“At DCR, we have a tremendous
opportunity to improve
the health and happiness of our
residents across Massachusetts
by preserving access to beautiful
parks around the state like Lynn
Woods,” said DCR Commissioner
Brian Arrigo. “We are grateful
to Mayor Nicholson, Greenbelt
and the Friends of Lynn Woods
for their partnership in ensuring
this remarkable landscape is permanently
protected from development
and that it will serve as
a source for recreation and clean
water for the region for generations
to come.”
“Lynn Woods is a tremendous
natural resource that is enjoyed
year-round by our entire region
and beyond,” said Senator
Brendan Crighton. “Thank you
to DCR, Greenbelt, Essex County’s
Land Trust and the dedicated
advocates, particularly the
Friends of Lynn Woods, who
fought tirelessly to protect this
gem. Due to their eff orts, Lynn
Woods will continue to be a
source of recreation and sustainability
for generations to come.”
“This will ensure that this incredible
public resource will be
protected for present and future
generations,” said Representative
Peter Capano.
“While progress and development
are essential, we must
also recognize the intrinsic value
of Lynn Woods and the beauty
that it contributes to our community,”
said Representative
Dan Cahill. “I believe in striking
a balance between growth and
preservation. Restricting future
development of our public lands
is a commitment to safeguarding
the natural splendor that defi
nes our region and sustains the
well-being of current and future
generations.”
“Lynn Woods is a treasure in
our community, and we are
committed to prioritizing preservation
initiatives that support
our outdoor recreation spaces,”
said City of Lynn Mayor Jared
Nicholson. “Permanently conserving
the Woods ensures that

ers, the Revere High School
boys’ basketball team faces the
complexities of a demanding
schedule and the rigors of skill
development. The team finished
the 2023 portion of the
season at 2-4, and 1-3 in the
Greater Boston League.
The Patriots fell to 2-5, 1-4 in
the GBL after its fi rst game of
the New Year. Malden topped
Revere, 53-36. Junior guard
Ethan Day had 14 points and
fi ve rebounds, and junior guard
Josh Mercado added seven
points and fi ve steals.
Revere ended 2023 with a
split in its own Patriot Holiday
tournament, which was won
by East Boston. The team fell
to Lynnfi eld, 38-33, and beat
Malden, 51-40.

center Amir Yamani had a terrific
double-double performance
with 10 points and as many
rebounds. In the consolation
game against Malden, senior
captain Luke Ellis had 11 points
(three 3-pointers). Day tossed
in 17 points, and Yamani contributed
six points and seven
rebounds.
Coach David Leary emphaSami

sized the young and relatively
inexperienced nature of his
team. With only four players
returning with varsity experience,
he anticipated an initial
struggle. “I knew we were going
to be a little behind just because
we had only four returning
players that had any varsity
experience,” Leary said.
However, that awareness of
this challenge sets the stage
for a season focused on growth
and development. Despite a
2-4 start, Leary views the early
part of the season as a critical
learning period for the
team. He expressed a balanced
view of their performance, acknowledging
both the setbacks
and the areas where the
team showed potential. “I think
we’re defi nitely moving in the
right direction,” Leary said.
One of the key strategies
Leary plans to implement is
strengthening the team’s defense
and utilizing fast breaks
to create scoring opportunities.
This approach aims to address
the team’s scoring challenges.
Ethan Day goes up for a basket
over a Lynnfi eld defender.
“We’re hoping to be more aggressive
defensively in January
and February and create some

off ense off of our defense and
our fast break,” Leary said, indicating
a tactical shift to leverage
their defensive play for offensive
gains.
The coach recognized junior
guard Ethan Day as a significant
contributor to the team’s
off ense, along with senior captains
Andrew Leone and Luke
Ellis. “Ethan’s had some really
nice games the fi rst few games,
but we were struggling to fi nd
a second and third guy,” Leary
said. “I think Andrew Leone
can get us around eight to 12
points a game. And our other
senior captain Luke Ellis is a
very good 3-point shooter. He
doesn’t take a lot of shots. He’s a
very selfl ess player. But we have
talked about guys trying to increase
their role and increase
their scoring to help us get out
of the 40s and into the 50s and
60s where you can really win
high school games.”
Day’s getting to the basket.
He’d rather drive fi rst than
shoot a jump shot. “It’s kind of
old school in that way,” Leary
said. “He doesn’t take a lot of
3-pointers. He’s pretty smooth
with the ball. He can dribble left
and right, do spin moves, fl oaters.
Gets himself to the foul line.
He’s a very good free-throw
shooter. He just has a knack for
scoring.”
Sophomore Sean Burnett,
coming off the bench, could be
in the 10-12-point range come
the middle of the season, according
to his coach. He’ll do so
by gaining more confi dence in
shooting rather than deferring
to upperclassmen.
Leary’s approach to game
strategy is dynamic and opponent-specifi
c. He discussed the
necessity of adapting their style
of play based on the strengths
and weaknesses of their opponents.
The
coach values the experience
his team gained from
playing in high-stakes, intense
games, especially against rivals
like Chelsea, with whom
Revere battled in a barnburner
before losing in December.
Revere in the last two seasons
has shown an ability to
perform in high-pressure moments,
picking up a win in the
state tourney in each of the last
two winter seasons. Leary also
observed the team’s resilience
and ability to come back from
a signifi cant defi cit, a testament
to their character and potential.
Leary discussed the importance
of strategic scheduling
in non-league games. His approach
is to tailor the schedule
to the team’s current capabilities,
with an eye on consistently
making it to the tournament.
This pragmatic and goal-oriented
scheduling philosophy
is crucial for a team looking to
build experience and success.
Revere will have a tough go
of it should it make the postseason.
The team has shifted back
to Division 1 this season due to
increased school enrollment.
Leary pointed out that while
the school’s student numbers
have grown, this hasn’t necessarily
translated into a proportional
increase in athletes.
This situation presents unique
challenges, as the team faces
tougher competition without
a corresponding increase in
player pool.
“We’ve played a lot of Division
2 teams that I thought
were very capable of playing in
the Division 1 tournament and
being a good team,” Leary said.
Ultimately, the coach is less
focused on whom the Patriots
could play in the tourney
vs. getting into the tourney. “I
think our philosophy is obviously
winning as many as you
can,” Leary said. “But I guess getting
yourself in there is more
important than where you’re
ranked.”
Revere was scheduled to
travel to Malden this week (after
press time) and will host
Everett on Friday night, Jan. 5,
at 7 p.m. Each are GBL league
games, along with a road game
at Somerville on Tuesday, Jan.
9 (7 p.m.).

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There
were no roll calls in the House or
Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call
reports on the number of times in
the 2023 session each senator sided
with Democratic Gov. Maureen
Healey and voted to sustain/support
the governor’s vetoes of 24
items in the fi scal 2024 state budget.
A “Yes” vote favors the funding
of the item despite the governor’s
veto. A “No” vote is a vote to support/sustain
Healey’s veto.
The current makeup of the Senate
is 36 Democrats and four Republicans.
A two-thirds vote is required
to override a gubernatorial
veto in the 40-member Senate.
The governor needs the support
of 14 senators to sustain a veto if
all 40 senators voted—and fewer
votes if some members are absent
or there are vacancies.
Healey fell far short of that goal
as two votes was the most support
she received on any veto. The Senate
easily overrode all 24 vetoes,
including 14 that were overridden
unanimously.
None of the 36 Democrats ever
sided with Healey to support/sustain
a single veto.
Only two of the four Republicans
ever sided with Healey to support/
sustain a veto. They are GOP Sens.
Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) and Peter
Durant (R-Spencer) who each voted
ten times with Healey to support/
sustain a veto.

GOV. BAKER PORTRAIT - Former
Gov. Charlie Baker’s offi cial portrait
was unveiled to the public and the
press this week in the lobby of the
executive suite. The portrait was
fi rst unveiled in a private unveiling
before Christmas on December 21.
The display space in the lobby is reserved
for the 12 most recent governors,
resulting in the 1950s portrait
of the late Gov. Christian Herter
being shuffl ed off to another location.
The
$29,000 price tag for the
portrait, painted by Pennsylvaniabased
artist Ellen Cooper, was paid
for by Baker’s campaign committee.
For many years, the cost of gubernatorial
portraits was paid by the
taxpayers. Former Gov. Mike Dukakis
changed that by starting a custom
of fi nancing the portraits with
private money.
SCHOOL BILLS – The Education
Committee will hold a hearing on
several bills on January 10 in Room
A-2 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The hearing
can also be viewed online at
https://malegislature.gov/Events/
Hearings/Detail/4815
Here are some of the legislation
on the January 10 agenda:
FREE EXPRESSION IN LIBRARIES
(S 2528) – Would prevent book removal
from school or public libraries
due to personal or political views
of individuals or groups. Other provisions
would empower school librarians
and teachers to determine
access to age-appropriate materials
in school libraries; require public
libraries to adopt the American
Library Association’s Library Bill of
Rights; and protect librarians from
retaliation.
Supporters of the proposal say
that while no books in 2022 were
technically banned in the Bay State,
there were 45 attempts to censor
books and other library resources,
the fourth highest number of any
state. They note that most attempts
are to censor materials or library
programming about race, sexuality
and gender identity.
“Massachusetts is home to the
nation’s fi rst public library and fi rst
public school because we have
long appreciated that unabridged
access to knowledge is key to opportunity
and fulfi llment,” says Senate
sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro).
“At this sad moment when hate
and fear are driving too many cruel
policies across the nation, and
yes closer to home, Massachusetts
must continue to champion values
of equity and belonging. Indeed,
books are among our most compelling
windows into the myriad of human
experiences and capture the
breadth of knowledge. We cannot
allow small-minded bans or politically
opportunist censorship interfere
with the right to read.”
“As a member of the LGBTQ+
community representing a highly
diverse district, I understand how
important it is to prevent unnecessary
censorship of books and other
library resources,” said House sponsor
Rep. John Moran (D-South End).
“This bill would help ensure access
to age-appropriate materials for
communities across the state.”
STUDENTS MUST TAKE A FINANCIAL
LITERACY COURSE (H 4199) –
Would require the Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education
to develop and assist in the
implementation of curriculum on
personal fi nancial literacy to equip
students with the knowledge and
skills they need to become selfsupporting
and to enable them to
make critical decisions regarding
personal fi nances. All students in
grades 9-12 would be required to
take the course.
The components of the curriculum
would include the understanding
of loans, borrowing money, interest,
credit card debt and online
commerce; the rights and responsibilities
of renting or buying a home;
saving, investing and planning for
retirement; banking and fi nancial
services; balancing a checkbook;
state and federal taxes; charitable
giving; preventing identity theft;
avoiding online scams; and learning
a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies.
“I
fi led [the bill] because I’ve seen
fi rsthand the gap in personal fi nancial
literacy education for students
across Massachusetts,” says sponsor
Rep. Ryan Hamilton (D-Methuen).
“While some students may learn
helpful money practices at home,
too many of our young people are
thrust into life after high school
with minimal understanding of
key topics such as building credit,
managing a budget or investing
for one’s future. Failing to teach the
next generation these critical skills
while they are still in school misses
an important opportunity to not
only set up our students for success
as young adults, but to help our
educators, parents and caretakers
learn more about subjects they too
may have missed while in school.”
REQUIRE AIRWAY CLEARANCE
DEVICES IN SCHOOLS (H 4207) –
Would require all public and private
schools to have a portable airway
clearance device onsite. The bill defi
nes portable airway clearance device

How to Close Social
Media Accounts of
a Deceased Loved One
Dear Savvy Senior,
How do I go about canceling a person’s social media
accounts when they die? My wife passed away
a few months ago and her social media accounts
are still active.
Sad Spouse
Dear Sad,
I’m very sorry for your loss, but
this is a smart move on your behalf
and one that often gets
overlooked. Social media is part
of many people’s daily lives, but
when a person passes away their
dormant accounts can become
vulnerable to scammers who
can hack into them and even
steal your deceased loved one’s
identity.
Here’s a run-down of how you
can cancel or change many different
social media accounts after
a loved one dies.
Facebook: If your wife used
Facebook, you can either “memorialize”
or “delete” her account.
A
memorialized account
serves as a place where family
and friends can share memories
to celebrate the deceased
person’s life, with the word “Remembering”
shown next to the
deceased person’s name. Once
an account is memorialized,
content the person shared is still
visible on Facebook to the audience
it was originally shared
with, however, the user’s profi le
will not show up in public spaces
such as people you may know,
ads or birthday reminders.
To memorialize your
wife’s profile simply go to
Facebook.com/help/contact/234739086860192.
Or, if
you’d rather have her account
removed, go to Facebook.com/
help/contact/228813257197480.
To memorialize her account
requires proof of death (via
death certificate, obituary or
memorial card), but if you wish
to delete the account, you’ll also
need to verify that you’re an immediate
family member, legal
representative or executor, unless
you’re the legacy contact on
her account.
Instagram: The policy on a
deceased users’ Instagram account
is the similar to Facebook’s,
which owns Instagram. You can
either memorialize or remove
the account at Help.Instagram.
com/264154560391256. But just
like with Facebook, you’ll need to
provide proof of death and relationship
to the deceased.
X (formally Twitter): To deactivate
an X account, go to Help.
Twitter.com and type in “How
to contact X about a deceased
family member’s account” in
the search bar and follow the
prompts. After you submit your
request, X will email you with
instructions for providing more
details, including information
about the deceased, a copy of
your ID, and a copy of the deceased’s
death certifi cate.
YouTube and/or Google: To
close these accounts, simply
go to Support.Google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590
and
fi ll out their form and upload
scans of the death certifi -
cate and your ID.
Pinterest: To remove a Pinterest
account, email Care@pinterest.com
with the deceased user’s
account username, proof of
death and proof of relationship
to the deceased.
LinkedIn: To remove a deceased
person’s LinkedIn profi
le, submit a request at LinkedIn.com/help/linkedin/ask/ts-rdmlp.
You’ll need to provide the
name and URL to the profi le; the
relationship you have to the deceased;
the email address; date
of passing; and link to an obituary.
Snapchat:
To delete this account,
simply login to the account
and click “Delete My Account”
and follow the prompts.
Tumblr: Send an email to Support@tumblr.com
requesting to
remove the account of the
deceased person with their
Tumblr username, proof of their
death, and proof of your relationship
to the deceased.
If your wife had social media
through a company not listed
here, go to that company’s website
for information on how to
delete the account.

“What a wonderful place Lynn
Woods is - a huge, green treasure
for the residents of Lynn and all
of us in the region! In addition
to all the benefi ts of its walking
trails and water supplies, Lynn
Woods is nature’s air conditioner
for the neighborhoods of Lynn,”
said Kate Bowditch, president
of Greenbelt. “Greenbelt’s analysis
has identifi ed Lynn Woods
as the most valuable ‘urban cooling’
property in all of Essex CounO
f
Revere. Passed away peacefully,
surrounded by her sisters,
on December 27th at Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center
in Boston. She was 80 years
of age. Born in Boston, on April
Fool’s Day, 1943 to George and
Evelyn (Phair) Morris followed
by her two sisters, Marjorie and
Kathleen. When their mother
passed away in 1958, the Morris
girls kept their home together,
doing all the household duties,
split up amongst each other.
They all graduated from Revere
High School and all attended
college and became teachers.
Evelyn worked on Revere
Beach beginning at the age of
14 at Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard,
then at Mr. Donut. All the Morris
girls worked 2 jobs during
the summertime. Evelyn graduated
from Revere High School
in 1960. She was very active in
planning her Class Reunions
and would have attended her
60th in 2020, however, due
to the pandemic, the reunion
was cancelled. She loved hunting
down class members with
whom she lost contact, using
her computer and telephone.
Following high school, Evelyn
attended Salem State College
and graduated in 1964. Evelyn
ty, and its permanent protection
will mean those benefi ts will be
there for future generations,
who may need Lynn Woods
even more than we do now.”
“The forward-thinking Lynn
residents who, one hundred
and thirty years ago, donated
their land and money to give us
the Lynn Woods deserve to have
their act of generosity remembered,”
said Jane Kelley, president
of the Friends of Lynn
Woods. “I can think of no better
way to thank them then to preserve
and protect their gift for future
generations.”
Lynn Woods was one of the
taught in New Britian, Connecticut
for 3 years. In 1967, she began
teaching in good old Revere.
Before her retirement in
2004, she had taught at the Roosevelt
School, Whelan School,
The Beachmont School, the
old Paul Revere School, the Old
Garfield School and the New
Garfi eld School. For 3 years she
traveled among schools as “The
Penmanship Lady”. As a “side
hustle”, Evelyn worked at the
White Hen Pantry for 15 years, a
job she loved. She was the Vice
President of the Revere Teachers
Association during the strike
in 1987.
Evelyn leaves her sisters, Marjorie
Margolis and her husband
Dr. Gerald Margolis of Needham
and Kathleen Churchill of Revere
and her late husband William
Churchill, who was a guiding
light when Evelyn bought
her house, as a single woman
in 1972, despite every bank in
Revere that refused her a mortgage.
Winthrop Savings said
yes!, her nieces and nephews,
Elizabeth (Margolis) Cawley and
her husband Joseph and their
twin daughters Emma and Sophie
of Canton, Michael Margolis
and his wife Emily (Schwartz)
and their two boys, Jack and
Teddy of Needham, William G.
Churchill and his wife Danielle
(Ennamorati) and their children
Billy and Alice of Revere. Evelyn
was the godmother of the late
Bridget Marie Churchill and the
aunt of the late Sarah Kate Margolis,
who remain in our hearts
and minds every day; Cousin
of the late Michael Phair and
his wife Kathy Phair of Melrose,
Marilyn and her husband Steven
Barry of Melrose, and Barbara
Dean of Cape Cod.
Evelyn loved reading the Boston
Globe death notice section
and she wrote this obituary
herself!
Family and friends were invited
to attend Visiting Hours
on Thursday, January 4th in the
Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood
Home for Funerals, Revere.

In 1870, the then Lynn Water
Board, now known as the Lynn
Water and Sewer Commission,
acquired the land that would
become Breed’s Pond following
a destructive fi re in the city the
previous year. In 1889, Frederick
Law Olmsted, the landscape
architect behind Boston’s Emerald
Necklace, advised the City
of Lynn that the site should be
left undeveloped and preserved
in its natural state for local residents
to enjoy. In 1890, Lynn
voters approved the creation

Miriam Anne
(Russell-McDonald)
Foley
O
f Revere. Passed away on
January 2, 2024, surrounded
by her family and friends
and the absolutely, wonderful
caregivers at Brightview Senior
Living in Danvers. Born in Bergenfi
eld, NJ to Anne and Francis
Russell she was the youngest
of eight children. As a young girl
Miriam’s family moved to Weehawken,
NJ in 1942, just across
the river from New York City.
Miriam joined the Carmelite Sisters
in 1946 as a young woman
and remained a nun until 1963
earning her nursing degree and
working at St. Patrick’s Manor in
the Bronx, New York City. Upon
leaving the order and travelling
to Boston, she worked at Beth
Israel hospital, and it was there
she met, fell in love and married
Kenneth McDonald with whom
she raised 5 children and settled
in the Beachmont section of Revere,
MA.
Miriam loved bringing her
children to Short Beach just
down the street, finding and
supporting every stray cat that
found its way to their Pearl Ave.
home. She worked at Winthrop
Hospital for twenty years and
found a community of nurses
who became lifelong friends.
Later Miriam would fi nd sobriety
and discover a calling more
powerful than any she’d known,
Lynn Woods. The park, which
stretches through Lynn, Saugus
and Lynnfi eld, has since grown
to the more than 2,100 acres it
is today and includes more than
30 miles of trails for hiking, running,
skiing, biking, and walking,
as well as three water reservoirs.
Over the years, Lynn Woods
Reservation has become an
important place for those in
the surrounding urban communities
seeking open, green
space, however, it faced threats
of development over the years
with proposals including a golf
course and rerouting Route 95.
In 2001, the state acquired
helping people she respected
and for whom she cared deeply.
Miriam later married Robert
Foley in 1993 and spent many
happy years visiting the arcades
that reminded them of
their youth.
Miriam was pre-deceased by
her husband Ken McDonald in
2003 and her husband Bob Foley
in 2015, and her beloved son,
Martin E. McDonald in 2009. She
leaves behind her children; Kenneth
J. McDonald, of Lynn, MA,
Mary D. Hill (McDonald) and
her husband Kevin of Danvers,
MA, Richard F. McDonald and
his wife Dori of Brentwood, NH,
Ann Marie (McDonald) Giambertone
and her husband Vin
of Duxbury, MA. She will be
missed by her seven grandchildren;
Kenny McDonald, Andrew
Hill, Owen Hill, Aiden Hill, Ronan
McDonald, Sofi a Giambertone,
Tessa Giambertone, who along
with her late grandson Brent
McDonald all enjoyed her sharp
memory and stories of life in the
convent and fundraising in her
full habit across New York City
in the 1940s and 1950s. Miriam’s
brothers and sisters all pre—deceased
her, and we’re sure she
was euphoric to see them all
again on January 2nd.
The family would like to sincerely
thank the nurses, the
aids, and the restaurant staff of
Brightview, whose living defi -
nition of “care” made her fi nal
years a joy. We would also like
to thank her friends Charlene
and RoseMary who visited her
so frequently and reminded her
of so many good times.
Family and friends are invited
to attend Visting Hours in
the Vertuccio Smith & Vazza,
Beechwood Home for Funerals,
262 Beach Street, Revere on
Monday January 8th from 9:00
a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by
a Funeral Mass in the Immaculate
Conception Church, 133
Beach St., Revere at 11:30 a.m.
Interment will follow in Holy
Cross Cemetery, Malden. In lieu
of fl owers, donations may be
made to MSPCA Angell by visiting
https://www.mspca.org/donate-now/.
40.5
acres of the reservation in
Saugus to protect it from a threat
of development on the shores of
Walden Pond.
This conservation recreation
– one of the state’s largest – will
now permanently protect the
precious forestland from future
development and ensure it continues
to not only provide outdoor
recreation, but also protects
treasured natural, cultural
and water resources for the public.
As an urban park, the forestland
also serves as an important
resource in protecting area residents
from the impacts of climate
change.

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

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 December
25-29, the House met for a total of
25 minutes and the Senate met for
a total of 16 minutes.
