(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) ire Chief James Cullen and Captain Kevin O’Hara met with the City Council at their meeting this week to provide a public safety briefi ng regarding the proposed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility on Muzzey Street. The BESS is described as a large-scale industrial facility with lithiumion battery units that would store electricity and discharge it during peak demand. The facility is expected to support the grid and store energy from solar installations. Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley requested the meeting with the chief to learn about emergency response considerations, fi re suppression strategies, hazardous materials considerations, potential evacuation procedures, coordinaF tion with public safety agencies and any training, equipment or operational planning needed. In her motion, Kelley said, “The purpose of this presentation is to ensure that the City Council and the public have a clear understanding of the public safety preparedness and emergency response planning associated with a project of this magnitude.†“These facilities are starting to happen around the Commonwealth,†Mayor Patrick Keefe told the council. Keefe said the city has not yet signed any formal agreement for the facility. “We wanted to make sure the Fire Department was fully on board and equipped with the necessary training and equipment.

House passes bill to protect children from social media, prohibit cell phones in schools Also requires school districts to educate students on responsible use of social media Special to Th e Advocate O n April 8, 2026, the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed (129-25) An Act to promote student learning and mental health, which requires social media companies to implement age verifi - cation systems to prohibit users under the age of 14, and to require parental consent from prospective social media users aged 14 and 15. Additionally, the bill protects students from distracting technology during the school day by prohibiting the use of cell phones from school arrival through dismissal. The bill also requires districts to educate students in age-appropriate ways about the responsible use of social media, including potential harms to emotional and mental health and bullying. In 2025 a diff erent version of the bill was passed by the Massachusetts Senate. The bill now goes back to the Senate to reconcile the bills’ differences. “This bill will protect children from harmful content and addictive algorithms, and ensure that our students are able to focus in the classroom without the distraction from cell phones,†said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (DQuincy). “I would like to thank Chairman Michlewitz, Leader Peisch and Chairman Gordon for all their work on this bill, and all my House colleagues for recognizing the imporMASS.

Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Wang, Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Laddy Aldridge, Chief Hospital Corpsman Vlad Link, and Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Steve Kapala make up the dive medical team who will be the fi rst to open the Orion capsule upon its return to Earth, make initial medical assessments of the Artemis II crew, and assist them out of the capsule safely and effi ciently. They will provide initial oneon-one assistance to Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman, and Victor Glover respectively. Training for this mission has been a yearslong process between the four team members as the firstcontact medical providers inside the capsule. Often working in expeditionary warfare communities, Navy dive medical personnel are certifi ed divers and undergo specialized training, making them experts in decompression illnesses and other undersea medical considerations. Their mission is to care for and ensure dive-qualifi ed service members are safe to conduct diving operations. Following Orion’s reentry into Earth’s atmosphere and splashdown in the Pacifi c Ocean, the medical team will enter the From left, Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Steve Kapala, Lt. Cmdr.

The fi rst-contact medical providers will then prepare the crew to be airlifted by Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 back to amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) for follow on evaluations. Wang, assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 1, serves as the lead for the four-man team. From Laguna Beach, Calif., he is a boardcertified emergency medicine doctor by trade, having completed residency training at Lincoln Hospital in Bronx, New York. He joined the Navy in 2021 and was designated as an undersea medical offi - cer in 2024. “As a proud member of the undersea medical community, I am particularly humbled to play a part in this mission,†Wang said. “It is the honor of a lifetime to stand here today, ready to provide the absolute best care to the Artemis II crew.†Aldridge, from Cushing, Okla., will be the fi rst member to make contact with the crew upon their return to Earth. Assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Support Unit 1, he will open the capsule, enter the space, and begin medical assessments. “Coming from three generations of military service in my family, I’m honored to serve as the senior dive independent duty corpsman for this mission,†Aldridge said. “This eff ort is the culmination of both our training to bring world class care to the Artemis II crew and countless dedicated years of Navy Diving and Navy medicine.†Dive independent duty corpsmen like Aldridge, Link, and Kapala are specifically trained in dive medicine. Link, assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 1, is the third member of the team and hails from Chelsea, Mass. He has 18 years of experience in dive medicine, but he shares that this mission is already a highlight of his career.

Transportation Coordinator Julie DeMauro explained that Lyft bikes have done away with its maintenance and operation fee, and the program is now completely paid for with grants. For the city’s six bike docks and 66 bikes the cost would be $9,186. But Revere is entitled to $11,000 in funding from Blue Cross Blue Shield, which helps subsidize the system and gives it the Bluebikes name. “We’ll be operating with a credit for the next fi ve years,†8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

DeMauro told the City Council. She also said there is funding from other grants that should carry the city over the duration of the contract. Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri mentioned the bikeshare program in Washington, D.C. and said scooters will automatically lock if they are being used in areas where they are not allowed. Silvestri asked if Revere would have similar protection. “This contract is just for bikes; there would be no scooters allowed,†said DeMauro. “We are not entertaining scooters.†DeMauro said bikes that are out of bounds will be charged late fees or blocked from using the program. Ward 1 Councillor James Mercurio asked about a clause in the contract requiring the city to pay for aging, damaged or new equipment. DeMauro said fi ve new docking stations are coming to Revere, but they will be paid for by grants. Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio asked again, to be clear, if the bikeshare program is paid for entirely by grants. DeMauro said that in 2020, the city paid $100,000 to be part of the bikeshare network. However, the new contract will not require any funding from the city. ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ (Editor’s Note: Below is a letter sent to the Revere City Clerk regarding a proposed development’s special permits that were approved by the City Council on Monday night.) April 13, 2026 City Council c/o Ashley Melnik, City Clerk Revere City Hall 281 Broadway Revere, MA 02151 Dear Ms. Melnik: I hereby submit my written remarks regarding the proposed Town House Development at 661 Washington Avenue and ask that they be read into the record. As a lifelong resident of Rewww.810bargrille.com vere and someone who drives through that intersection frequently, I am extremely concerned about my own safety as well as public safety. The City Council has been warned by multiple parties, including the former owner of the property and the City Engineer, who said, “This would create a very unsafe condition,†about the dangers of having a driveway so close to that busy intersection. What more evidence is needed before the Council acts to protect residents? Therefore, I respectfully request that the City Council vote this development down until the applicant redesigns the driveway — ideally as a shared driveway accessed from Malden Street. This would be a modest concession by a developer who has already been given the green light to build four townhouses on a property that can only legally support three. By his own admission at a recent Council meeting, he needs four units to make a profit. He will get his four units, but it should not come at the expense of public safety or to the detriment of the neighborhood. I don’t understand why some of you — particularly those who previously served on the Traffic Commission, which is tasked with safety improvements — are willing to downplay or ignore this serious traffi c hazard instead of insisting on a safer design. For years, this City has repeatedly overruled zoning requirements in ways that favor developers at the clear cost of residents’ quality of life. As a reminder, the role of the Council is to advocate for the needs of the residents, not to accommodate developers who should be bending over backwards to address legitimate public safety concerns. I urge you to uphold that responsibility here. Sincerely, Robert C.

The science is clear that exposure to social media at a young age can have a harmful eff ect on a minor’s development,†said Representative Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), who is Chair of the House Committee on Ways & Means. “Today we took an important step toward protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of children across the Commonwealth. Social media plays a signifi cant role in young people’s lives, but without appropriate safeguards, it can expose them to harmful content, bullying, and addictive features that impact their mental health. This legislation strikes the right balance by putting age-appropriate protections in place while ensuring parents remain involved,†said Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “Equally important, creating phone-free classrooms will help students stay focused and engaged throughout the school day. Our schools should be places where students can learn, build relationships, and grow without constant digital distraction. By also requiring education on responsible social media use, we are equipping our students with the tools they need to navigate today’s digital world safely and responsibly.†“Our kids go to school to learn.

RMA’s literacy coach, Jennifer O’Reilly, who helped spearhead the initiative, recounted the journey during Monday’s ceremony. What began as an unfamiliar opportunity quickly became a defi ning academic moment for the school. “This all started when, in mid-January, I was asked to sign us up,†O’Reilly told students. “At the time, I had no idea what it would become. I thought maybe we could break into the top 10 in the state.†At the outset, RMA sat in 21st place in Massachusetts — a respectable but unremarkable starting point. Students began working on vocabulary exercises during advisory periods and in some classThe statistics behind RMA’s Vocabulary Bowl run are as impressive as the outcome itself: • 440,120 questions answered • 279,539 questions answered correctly • 2,375 total hours spent on the platform RMA Principal Heather Bobb holds up a T-shirt commemorating the school’s impressive achievement. RMA Literacy Coach Jennifer O’Reilly • 16,874 words mastered • More than 53 million points accumulated These numbers refl ect not just individual dedication but a coordinated, schoolwide commitment to academic growth. “This wasn’t just about our top scorers,†O’Reilly emphasized. “If you added up only their contributions, we wouldn’t be anywhere near where we fi nished. This was the result of every single student putting in the eff ort.†Part of the competition’s design helped drive that collective engagement. In addition to individual rankings, students also competed within their advisory groups, creating a layer of friendly internal competition. Several advisees stood out for their exceptional performance, each surpassing 2,000 points. Among the top-performing groups were Ms. Dulong’s Room 239, Mr. Donovan’s advisory group, Mr. Willett’s advisory group and Ms. RMA | SEE Page 15 PLEASANT ST.

The school climbed steadily — fi rst into the top 15, then the top 10 and eventually into the top fi ve. Along the way, they surpassed wellestablished competitors, including a prestigious private school in Cambridge, signaling that something special was underway. By February, the competition intensified. Hopkinton, another top-performing district, held a commanding lead of nearly 3,000 words — no small margin in a contest where mastering a single word can require dozens of correct responses.

Within days, RMA surged ahead, claiming the top spot among middle schools in Massachusetts. The final challenge came from Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School, the previous year’s overall winner. Despite the size and experience advantage of their competitor, RMA maintained its momentum and ultimately surpassed them, securing the statewide championship.

Softball is setting the tone early with power throughout the lineup and contributions up and down the roster, while baseball has shown resilience through a competitive stretch. Revere softball erupts for big offensive week behind power surge R evere High Senior Captain Danni Hope Randall hit a career milestone of 500 strikeouts in the team’s recent win against Chelsea. The hurler reached her milestone in the fi rst inning of the fourth game of the season. Randall has been pitching for Revere High School since 8th grade when she played on the JV squad. Since then, she has fl ourished on the mound. Last season, she pitched every game for the Lady Pats and started this season within the threshold of the milestone. After four games in, she has allowed 16 hits and 5 earned runs while striking out 48. She is currently averaging 12 strikeouts per game. The current record is held by former Revere pitching ace Sabrina Palermo who had 698 strikeouts over fi ve seasons. Randall, a member of the National Honor Society, a two-time GBL all-star for softball, a GBL all-star for RHS Field Hockey and a school record breaker for RHS track, will attend Assumption University in the fall. She will be studying nursing and is also a recruit for the track and fi eld team. (Photo by Melissa Randall) T he Revere softball team turned in one of its most explosive weeks at the plate, highlighted by a 13-1 win over Northeast Metro Tech and a 13-7 victory over Everett. Against Northeast, the Patriots piled up 15 hits in a complete team effort, with senior captain Anna Doucette leading the charge with three hits, including a home run. Doucette, along with Addison Ulwick and Frankie Reed, each collected three hits in the game. Reed’s performance carried extra signifi - cance, as her two-run home run marked the 100th hit of her career — a milestone moment in the win. Freshman Ulwick added to the off ensive fi reworks with her fi rst career over-the-fence home run, while Caleigh Joyce launched a three-run homer during a fi ve-run third inning that broke the game open. In the circle, Danni Randall dominated, striking out 11 while allowing just one hit and one run over a completegame eff ort. The Patriots carried that momentum into a win over Everett, where Doucette again starred with three hits, including two doubles and a triple. Revere racked up 16 hits in the game, with multiple contributions across the lineup from Alana Greenman, Randall, Joyce and Gianna Canzano. The week also featured several key milestones for younger players. Eighth grader Alana Greenman made her fi rst varsity start and delivered a two-hit performance, while freshman Alexa Humphrey recorded her fi rst varsity hit. Defany Escoto and Bella Cushing also made their fi rst starts, highlighting the team’s developing depth. Revere baseball shows resilience through up-anddown stretch T he Revere baseball team delivered a mix of highpowered off ense and hardfought battles in a challenging week of play. The highlight came in a dominant 20-0 win over Chelsea, fueled by a monster performance from Rodolfo Dominguez, who blasted two home runs and drove in six runs. He had a homer in his fi nal at-bat in the prior game, meaning he homered in three straight at-bats. Dominguez homered in both the fi rst and second innings as Revere jumped out early and never looked back. Domenic Bellia and Joseph Angiulo each collected three hits in the win, while Frank Annunziata, Nicholas Rupp and Thomas Waldron added multiplehit eff orts. The Patriots also showed aggressiveness on the basepaths, swiping 11 bases in the game. George Papalambros got the wins on two scoreless and hitless innings, striking out three and walking one. Ryker Picardi-Flahive tossed in 1.1 innings of scoreless and hitless relief, striking out two and walking two. Revere followed that up with an 8-7 comeback win over Everett, rallying from a 4-1 defi cit behind a fi ve-run fi fth inning. Sergio Peguero delivered in a key moment, driving in two runs and later earning the win in relief. He struck out four and walked one in two relief innings. “On a very cold day the boys never quit and fi nished strong,†Head Coach Sebastian Salvo said. Joseph Angiulo set the tone at the top of the lineSPORTS | SEE Page 13 - LEGAL NOTICE -           î˜îµµî’îîŽ î€³î•î’î…î„î—îˆ î„î‘î‡ î€©î„îîŒîîœ î€¦î’î˜î•î—  îˆîš î‹î„î•î‡î’î‘ î€¶î—î•îˆîˆî— î’î–î—î’î‘î€ î€°î€¤   î€î€›î€– î’î†îŽîˆî— î’  Estate of: î„î•îœ  î’î‘î‘î’î• Date of Death:        To all interested persons: A Petition for  î€ î€©î’î•îî„î î•î’î…î„î—îˆ î’î‰ î€ºîŒîî îšîŒî—î‹ î€¤î“î“î’îŒî‘î—îîˆî‘î— î’î‰ î€³îˆî•î–î’î‘î„î îˆî“î•îˆî–îˆî‘î—î„î—îŒî™îˆ î‹î„î– î…îˆîˆî‘ î‚¿îîˆî‡ by: î„îœî‘îˆ î€©î€‘ î’îî‰î’î•î‡îˆ of î’î’îî•îŒî†î‹ î’îšî‘î–î‹îŒî“î€ î€±î€­ requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.
