By Barbara Taormina
T
he City Council’s fi rst order of
business Monday night was
the election of Councillor Patrick
Keefe as Council President and
Councillor Joanne McKenna as
Vice President for 2023.
Both Keefe, who represents
Ward 4, and McKenna, who represents
Ward 1, were chosen
quickly and unanimously by fellow
councillors.
One of Keefe fi rst offi cial tasks
was to present outgoing Council
President Gerry Visconti with
a plaque commemorating his
year leading the council.
Visconti had thanks all around.
He thanked fellow councillors,
residents for their support and
encouragement, his family,
and he had an especially warm
thank you for City Clerk Ashley
Melnick.
“Without you, this council
does not operate,” said Visconti
who thanked Melnick for all her
help during the past year.

A
small crowd of angry seniors
turned out for this week’s
City Council meeting to hear a
presentation on the city’s plan
to open an emergency warming
center on the second fl oor of the
Rosetti-Cowan Senior Center. Seniors
came with questions and
concerns about health and safety,
which Mayor Brian Arrigo and
Chief of Health and Human Services
Lauren Buck tried to answer.
Arrigo explained that the seREADY

It has been operating as an

Arrigo said the plan is to make

Councillor seeks to regulate potential

look into an ordinance for
Revere regulating the use of
drones in the city. Serino explained
that a resident had given
him some information about
drones in Texas and California
and Amazon drone deliveries.
Although drone fl ights are regulated
by the state and federally
by the Federal Aviation Administration,
Serino wanted to investigate
whether there was something
the city could do through
zoning to regulate drone use.
“I want to get ahead of this,”
said Serino. “I just want to ask
the city solicitor what we can
and can’t do.”

the mayor, could go as high as $500 million, which doesn’t

Ward 6 Councillor Richard
Serino is looking at the skies.
Serino filed a motion this
week to ask the city solicitor
not pro or anti drone – he just
wants to be ready should problems
arise.
Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo
agreed and said it is a good
idea to get ahead of a potential
problem. “We have two enormous
Amazon distribution facilities.
Do you know how many
packages are delivered in Revere?
We’re going to look like
Ukraine when these drones start
fl ying around,” said Rizzo. “I think
we need to be proactive rather
than reactive.”
Ward 4 Councillor/City Council
President Patrick Keefe said
Revere already has some tight
regulations for drones because
the city is in the flight path.
There are parts of the city where
photographers can’t use drones
because of those regulations.

were able to help fulfi ll multiple
requests for Community Project
Funding for projects with demonstrated
local support that fi t
within specific existing federal
grant programs. These grants
included four for RMC communities
in Fiscal Year 2022, and nine
in Fiscal Year 2023.
Congresswoman Clark secured
funding for climate resilient
projects in Arlington, Malden,
Medford, Revere and Woburn.
Congressman Moulton
secured a $2 million grant for
Reading.
“We couldn’t be more grateful
to Congresswomen Katherine
Clark and Ayanna Pressley and
Congressman Seth Moulton and
their staff for securing such robust
funding for our communities,”
said Executive Director Patrick
Herron of the Mystic River
Watershed Association (MyRWA),
which partners with RMC. “These
investments will make our cities
and towns safer, more equitable,
and more beautiful.”
“Since its beginnings the Resilient
Mystic Collaborative has
been focused on projects that
make a diff erence for the people
most affected by climate
change,” said Director of Waterfront
& Climate Justice Initiatives
John Walkey of the local
nonprofi t GreenRoots. “It’s why
GreenRoots is so excited to support
and partner with the RMC
and its members to help secure
almost $14 million in federal
grants to fund these projects.”

River watershed–wide voluntary
partnership focused on regional
climate resilience. Convened
by MyRWA in September
2018 and led by senior staff from
20 cities and towns and nongovernmental
partners, the RMC focuses
on managing fl ooding and
extreme heat on a regional scale

It will reduce Malden’s climate
vulnerability by building green
stormwater infrastructure to reduce

the tree canopy by planting
over 100 new trees to mitigate
urban heat island eff ects, restoring

While coyote attacks on humans
are so rare, they are a serious
threat to other wildlife, including
domestic pets. Coyotes
see domestic pets like cats and
dogs as a food source. Any other
wildlife is considered the same
by coyotes.
While coyotes have been
around for about one million
years, according to experts, it
is a fairly new phenomenon for
them to be appearing in such
large numbers in urban settings.
Loss of habitat through
construction projects continues
to expand into coyotes’ natural
habitat. As coyotes move closer
to more densely populated
areas, the animals are still on
the hunt for food. They could
be hunting for scraps of food
or pets.
Information on these points
and others regarding coyotes
will be presented at “Living with
Coyotes” on January 26. The
event is free of charge and there
is no preregistration required.

to look far after the sun goes
down to see a coyote in many
communities in Massachusetts
– including Malden.
In an effort to spread more
and better information about
coyotes and how we can live
with and handle interactions
with them, the City of Malden
and the Malden Police Department/Animal
Control are hosting
a special presentation on
coyote behavior and concerns
for anyone from the region interested
in this topic. Residents
from all three cities sharing a
border with Malden in the Advocate
readership area – Everett,
Saugus, Revere – are welcome
as well. “Living with Coyotes”
will be hosted at the Forestdale
K-8 School auditorium
in Malden on Thursday, January
26, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Forestdale School is located
at 74 Sylvan St.
Along with city officials, including
Officer Kevin Alkins
from Animal Control and others
from the Malden PD, on hand
will be MassWildlife Biologist
Charlie Bird. Bird will be discussing
coyote behavior and ways
Malden residents can avoid and
reduce any intrusive behaviors
from these animals. A questionanswer
session will be included
nationwide. Coyotes, wildlife experts
attest, can be found in every
state in the nation, except
Hawaii. There are an estimated
5.3 million coyotes in the United
States, with up to 19 species and
subspecies, according to the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service.
As for a threat factor, coyotes
traditionally are not a threat to
humans. There has been only
one coyote attack on a human
reported in Massachusetts in
the past 50 years: in July of 1998,
on four-year-old Daniel Neal of
Sandwich, Mass., while he was
playing on his swing set. Nationwide,
there are under 10 attacks
on humans per year, despite the
fi ve million-plus coyote number
nationwide.

R
evereTV has been busy with
basketball games. The Game
of the Week turned into two last
week! RTV was at RHS to cover
both the boys’ and girls’ teams
in one week. The boys lost to
Lynn English on Tuesday night,
and the girls played Medford on
Thursday. This week RevereTV
streamed the boys’ basketball
game last night at 7 p.m. You
can watch these games live on
the Community Channel, Facebook
and YouTube. Replays will
be scheduled on television, but
games are usually taken off YouTube
until the end of the season.
Watch next week to see the girls’
team take on Everett on Tuesday
night.
Looking for something new
for a busy weeknight dinner
idea? Tune in to any of RevereTV’s
cooking programs to
browse what’s been happening
in the kitchen studio. A local
chef and dietician, Victoria Fabbo,
hosted three follow-along
episodes before the new year.
While those replay on the Community
Channel under the title
“Fabulous Foods,” Fabbo will
soon be back in the studio for an
updated episode. Watch “Fabulous
Foods” at your convenience
in episodes uploaded to RevereTV’s

Patriot girls win two of three
after tourney loss
By Greg Phipps
T
he Revere High School girls’
basketball team recovered
Revere’s Belma Velic helped the girls to a win over Medford last
Thursday with a 14-point eff ort.
from their two losses at the inaugural
Revere Holiday Tournament
– and a subsequent loss
to Lynn English – by winning
two of three to improve to 3-6
on the season.
The first of those victories
came last Thursday at home with
a 50-42 win over Greater Boston
League (GBL) foe Medford.
Center Belma Velic came up big
with a 14-point performance to
go along with fi ve rebounds and
two blocked shots. She was aided
by the eff orts of Haley Belloise
(11 points and six assists),
Shayna Smith (11 points and
eight rebounds), and Bella Stamatopoulos
(six points and two
rebounds), who made some key
hustle plays, according to Head
Coach Chris Porrazzo.
After being defeated by Lowell
on Monday, the Patriot girls
got back in the win column
Tuesday by knocking off GBL
opponent Chelsea, 60-18. Rocio
Gonzalez emerged as the team’s
top scorer by netting 15 points.
Guard Lorena Martinez had a
solid all-around game with eight
points, six boards, fi ve steals and
four assists.
The Patriot girls played
Malden on the road on Thursday
and host Everett next Tuesday.
Revere boys end losing
stretch with win at Chelsea
After losing a close one at
Medford last Thursday, the Revere
High School boys’ basketball
team returned to the win
column with a close 50-47 triumph
at Chelsea on Tuesday.
The win ended a three-game
losing stretch for the Patriots.
Senior captains Alejandro
Hincapie (16 points) and Sal
DeAngelis (14 points) put together
strong performances
to help lead the way. The two
also combined for 13 rebounds.
Ethan Day joined the act with
eight points to go with fi ve rebounds
and three blocked shots.
Last Thursday, Revere
dropped a close 58-54 decision
at Medford. Domenic Boudreau
was the top points-getter with
14. He also hauled down seven
rebounds. DeAngelis (13
points) knocked home three
three-pointers, and Hincapie
contributed 11 points and fi ve
assists.
The 5-4 Patriots hosted
Malden on Thursday night and
aren’t scheduled to see action
again until next Thursday when
they travel to play Somerville.
Tide boys’ co-op hockey returns to form to even record at three
Everett senior captain David Saia notches his 100th career point against non-league host Timberlane
By Joe McConnell
I
t was a much better and most
memorable week for the Everett
High School boys’ co-op
hockey team. After dropping
a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime
decision to host East Bridgewater,
5-4, the Crimson Tide (2-2 in
the Greater Boston League, 3-3
overall) bounced back Monday
to double up non-league host
Timberlane, 8-4. In that game,
Everett senior captain David
Saia was credited with a hat
trick that resulted in his 100th
career point, a signifi cant milestone
of perseverance and determination.
“(Saia)
always gives us 100%
eff ort in every game, while turning
himself into a great leader
and captain,” said coach Craig
Richards.
Saia’s hat trick helped pace the
off ensive attack in the Timberlane
game. Everett led throughout,
taking a 3-1 lead after one
and 6-4 heading into the third
period.
Revere’s Mykell Schovanec accounted
for the fi rst goal on a
solo eff ort. Frankie Annunziata
then lit the lamp from Riley Constantine.
Saia followed with his
fi rst goal of the game assisted by
Chris Cecca and Jacky Summers
to close out the opening stanza.
Jake Simpson got the first
lamplighter of the second period
setup by Austin Annunziata.
Saia then recorded his second
tally of the game from Andrew
Crasco. Saia wasted no time to
secure his historic goal from Michael
Brandano and Constantine
that once again completed
the scoring in a period.
Brandano produced the
team’s seventh goal to begin
the fi nal period, with Summers
picking up his second assist of
the game. Summers then fi nished
off the off ensive explosion
with a goal from Constantine.
Aaron Al-Marayati was between
the pipes throughout
the fi rst two periods, before Ben
Rosa took over the goaltending
chores in the third. The team
ended up outshooting Timberlane,
30-15.
Both goalies also had considerable
help from their defense.
Richards specifi cally singled out
the defensive contributions of
Cam Couto and Mystic Valley’s
Riya Tanivaki, while highlighting
Constantine’s eff orts on off ense
after assisting on three of his
Like us on
Facebook advocate newspaper
Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma
team’s goals. Mystic Valley’s
Liam Thompson also caught
the attention of the coaching
staff for his fi ne play up front.
Rosa played the entire game
in net against East Bridgewater.
His teammates led, 4-2 after
two periods, but the home
team was able to tie up the
game in the third, before winning
it at the three-minute
mark of the extra period. But
Everett had more shots on
goal, 20-15.
“It was a battle,” said Richards
after the game. “The entire
team did a good job, and
they moved the puck very
well, but we just didn’t get the
results we wanted.”
DAVID SAIA
Nets 100th point
Austin Annunziata was
credited with the fi rst goal
from Lucas Deguire. Brandano
poked one home assisted
by Crasco. Simpson lit
the lamp from Ollie Svenson
and Cecca. Brandano then
got his second goal of the
game to complete the scoring
for the locals from Simpson
and Saia.
The Everett co-op boys will
be taking on host Lynn for the
third time this season on Saturday
at the Connery Rink,
beginning at 7 p.m. They will
then look to avenge an earlier
loss to the Highlanders
in Somerville on Wednesday,
Jan. 18, at 5:30 p.m.

announce that it is
currently accepting
Letters of Inquiry for
its 2023 Partnership
Grant Program
I
nterested nonprofi t organizations
and municipal-run
programs in the communities
of Melrose and Revere are invited
to propose innovative
programming, to be designed
and/or implemented in partnership
with the Foundation

1. Overcoming trauma and
adversity
2. Empowering at-risk
youths and communities
3. Enriching quality of life for
adults living with chronic conditions
4.
Advancing inclusivity in
the arts
“We are excited to be back in
Melrose and Revere, where we
last off ered grants before the
pandemic,” shared Foundation
Trust Manager Lauren Liecau.
“In light of everything that has
changed, we need each other
now more than ever. And
the Foundation Trust is in as
strong a position as ever to
partner with changemakers in
our communities.”
As a privately operating foundation,
the Foundation Trust offers
much more than funding
alone, and is seeking primary
partners to co-design programming.
“Through the expanded
partnership opportunities we
pursue with our grantees, we
collectively achieve much more
than we could if working on
shared issues independently,”
commented Foundation Trust
Executive Director Dr. Joseph
Spinazzola.
Letters of Inquiry for 2023

Decluttering? BBB
Tips for Selling Your
Used Items Online
he start of a new year is a
great time to clean out your
home and organize your living
spaces. But what should you
do with the gently used clothing,
furniture, home items or
electronics that you aren’t using
anymore?
Fortunately, online marketplaces,
such as Craigslist, Facebook
Marketplace, eBay and
Poshmark, make it easy to sell
without even leaving your
home. That said, there are a few
perils to selling used items online.
To avoid the dangers and
to successfully make sales, the
Better Business Bureau (BBB)
recommends the following tips.
How to stay safe when making
online sales
• Choose an appropriate platform.
Nerdwallet recommends
that “before you sell stuff online
to make extra money, determine
the ideal venue for
your goods.” There are dozens
of online marketplaces to
choose from, but many of them
focus on a specifi c kind of used
goods, such as electronics or
designer clothing. Before you
create an account with a marketplace,
make sure it is a good
fit for the kind of goods you
want to sell.
• Know the worth of your
items and price appropriately.
To determine the value of an
item you want to sell, Consumer
Reports suggests, search for
similar items on the site where
you plan to list. On auction sites,
look at completed sales and pay
attention to the selling price
rather than the minimum bid
price. If you are selling an item
that was never used and is still in
its original packaging, remember
that technically it is still coming
to the buyer secondhand, so
you’ll need to charge a little less
than the original retail value if
you want to make a sale.
• Get appraisals for high value
items. If you are selling jewelry
made with precious metals
or stones, get an offi cial appraisal
before you list or sell the
items. Keep in mind that jewelers
might give you a lower price
quote as they intend to make
profi t on a resale. If you are in
possession of an antique or artwork
that is worth over a thousand
dollars, consider getting
a written opinion on the item’s
worth from a professional appraiser.
This will give you a better
idea of the price you should
set and how much insurance
you need to cover the sale.
• Make a quality listing. Without
a good listing, you may not
sell your item. NBC News advisT
es
putting care into the photos
you take of an item. Make
sure the images are clear and
accurately show the item’s color,
form and other key details.
You’ll also want to include specific
measurements and detailed
written descriptions that
inform buyers of any fl aws the
item might have, no matter
how small. Make it clear that the
price you set takes the fl aws into
account. Finally, use search engine
words in your item description
that accurately describe the
item, its aesthetic and its use to
attract buyers who are actively
looking for what you are selling.
• Prepare items for sale. Before
you pack your item for shipping,
clean it thoroughly. If you
are planning on selling multiple
items online and want to keep
buyers coming back, put some
love into your packaging as well.
Wrapping the item in tissue paper
and including a thank you
note can go a long way towards
creating a returning customer.
• Understand the fees. Each
online marketplace has its own
set of fees, which can vary quite
a bit from platform to platform.
Before you sign up, take some
time to read the fi ne print and
understand whether you’ll pay
a percentage of your sale, a fl at
rate or both and how the fees
are collected. In addition, fi nd
out how many sales each platform
allows you to make each
month.
• Consider swapping or donating
used items. If you decide
not to sell an item, consider
donating it or giving it away to
someone who needs it. Several
online sites allow you to give
things away to someone who
needs them for free, to lend
and borrow items from others
in your community and to even
trade items instead of selling
them for cash. Check out this
list of ways to swap used items
from nonprofit Green America:
https://www.greenamerica.
org/green-living/fi nding-useditems-online
•
Watch out for shady buyers.
Con artists often pose as buyers
in scams. Sometimes they off er
to overpay for an item, but that’s
not their only tactic. Beware of
buyers who ask you to make
transactions outside of the selling
platform or those who ask
for personal information, such
as your banking information.
• Be extra cautious when
making local sales. Some platforms
allow you to meet up
with people in your local area
to exchange your item for cash
in person. While this can be an
eff ective way to sell big items
~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~
Revere’s Senior Center and the Cobra effect
Dear Mayor Arrigo,
Is (Councillor-at-Large) Marc
Silvestri’s plan likely to pass?
Wondering if you’ve ever heard
of “the Cobra eff ect”? Basically,
it’s a tale of perverse incentive.
In India under the British,
there were too many cobras on
the streets so they off ered to pay
people to bring in cobras. This
initially lowered the number of
cobras but then of course people
started growing them to get
the payouts. They were left with
more cobras than ever before.
That’s not specifi cally to equate
the homeless to that situation,
but you will be incentivizing that
lifestyle for those potentially on
the edge who might otherwise
have to work out garnering and
gaining premises. That becomes
less of a factor if there’s always a
place to rest one’s head at night,
respective of having gainfully accrued
the work and eff ort and fi -
nance to do same.
Signed,
Randall Bock, MD
Revere, MA
BBB TIPS: Five Resolutions
for a Fraud-Free New Year
T
he loss of money and personal
information, and perseverance
of scammers continue
with online purchase scams
as the riskiest of scams. The Better
Business Bureau (BBB) recommends
adding a few precautionary
steps to the New Year's resolution
list, along with the weight
loss and fi nancial goals, to help
make the upcoming days and
months fraud-free.
• I resolve to be cautious with
email. Be wary of unsolicited
emails from a person or a company.
Remember, scammers can
make emails look like they are
from a legitimate business, government
agency or reputable
organization (even BBB!). Never
click on links or open attachments
in unsolicited emails.
• I resolve to never send money
to strangers. If you haven’t
met a person face-to-face, don’t
send them money. This is especially
true if the person asks you
to transfer funds using a prepaid
debit card or CashApp. Monand
avoid marketplace fees, use
caution when meeting up with
strangers. Don’t be quick to give
them your home address; instead
ask buyers to meet you
in a safe place, such as outside
your local police department.
Never meet up alone with a
buyer you don’t know. Always
bring your partner or a friend
to make the transaction.
• Always protect your personal
information. As you sell items
online, keep your sensitive personal
information under lock
and key. Avoid communicating
with buyers outside of the online
platform you are using to
make the sale and don’t give
out your home address, phone
number or email address.
For more information see
BBB’s New Year’s guide: https://
www.bbb.org/all/new-year-sguide
ey
sent to strangers in this way
is untraceable, and once it is
sent, there’s no getting it back.
Scammers will try to trick you
into panicking – so before making
a move, think the situation
through. Don’t fall for it!
• I resolve to do research before
making online payments
and purchases. When shopping
online, or if asked to make a payment
online, research the retailer
before entering payment information.
Ask: Is this a person
or business I know and trust?
Do they have a working customer
service number? Where
is the company physically located?
Would I be making payments
through a secure server
(https://....com)? Have I checked
to see if others have complained?
• I resolve to use my best judgment
when sharing my personal
information. Sharing sensitive
personal information with scammers
opens the door to identity
theft. Never share fi nancial information,
birthdate, address, Social
Security/Social Insurance number
or Medicare number with an
unsolicited caller.
• I resolve to be social media
smart. Make use of privacy settings
on social media and only
connect with people you actually
know. Be careful about including
personal information
in your profi le and never reveal
your address and other sensitive
information – even in a “fun” quiz.
Scammers might use this information
to make themselves pass
as a friend or a relative and earn
your trust. Also, be careful when
buying products that you saw on
social media. BBB Scam Tracker
has received thousands of complaints
about misleading Facebook
and Instagram ads.

ELECTION | FROM Page 1
The 2023 Revere City Council with President Patrick Keefe and Vice-President Joanne McKenna (holding the gavel) with, from left to right, city councillors Anthony Cogliandro,
Ira Novoselsky, John Powers, Steve Morabito, Pres. Keefe and Vice-President McKenna, Daniel Rizzo, Ricky Serino, Marc Silvestri, Gerry Visconti, and Anthony
Zambuto.
“Life is about finding common
ground,” he said. “It’s okay
to disagree but it doesn’t mean
we have to be foes.”
“Councillors’ goals will always
be aligned if Revere comes fi rst,”
said Keefe who is in his second
term as Ward 4 councilor and is
active in many local organizations
such as Revere Pop Warner,
Revere Youth Baseball and
softball. He also serves as treasurer
for the Revere Democratic
City Committee.
After being sworn in by Melnick,
McKenna also had people
to thank as well.
“They call me “Mum” McKenna
on this council,” she said. “I
want to thank my fellow councilors
humbly for the vote of
confi dence to be vice president
of this council. And I want to
thank my constituents for putting
me on the council.”
McKenna grew up in Beachmont.
She taught at Revere
High School for 32 years. She
founded the Revere Beautifi
cation Committee and the
Beachmont Improvement
Committee.

T
he proposed cost of building
new high schools is always
a big issue for homeowners
and renters in any community.
The longer communities
wait, the higher the costs but
as last week’s letter writer suggests,
the approximate just under
$500 million price tag could
be a bridge too far for many city
taxpayers to bear.
Is it possible to put off construction
of a new high school?
Can the existing school structure
be modifi ed, enlarged, remodeled
providing additional
space for student learning? I
certainly hope City Hall and Revere
Public Schools have done
their due diligence. I am sure
they have.
As far as the seniors in this

city are concerned, perhaps it
is time to think about a new
senior center. However, what I
dislike is pitting the city’s children
against the city’s senior
population. Both demographics
have a right to be served.
Yes, it will cost taxpayers more
money but that is the price to
be made when we are citizens
of a community.
When it comes to spending
money, I am a conservative.
Most of us are. However, there
are things a city needs to strive
for going into the future and
one of those things is educating
our young people today
growing into tomorrow’s leaders,
tomorrow’s elected offi cials
and tomorrow’s taxpayers too.
The idea that homeowners
who are childless or whose children
have grown up get a dispensation
because they don’t
need public schools getting a
tax break sounds good until
you apply this principle elsewhere
in city fi nances. Should
younger resident taxpayers get
a tax credit since they aren’t
old and in need of a new senior
center?
Citizens of Revere like citizens
everywhere else are in compact
with each other to build
up their communities. It is the
price we pay to live together
wherever we choose.
My bottom line, however? It
behooves our elected offi cials
to be open and frank with citizens.
Communication between
the people and their voices in
government needs always to
be transparent. Moving forward
together is always better
than kicking and screaming
into the future.
Government is our business.
We should all stay involved.
That is the role of the people.
Our governors on the other
hand need to keep everyone
in the loop and explain why
every action needs to be taken
which even could be costly
but still necessary.

Steering Committee Chairperson
Marcia Manong. “Our project
will help reduce the City’s climate
vulnerability by building green
stormwater infrastructure to reduce
surface fl ood risk, increasing
the tree canopy by planting
over 200 new trees and bushes
to mitigate urban heat island effects,
restoring the natural riverfront
landscape, and building an
elevated greenway path to serve
as a fl ood barrier in the event of
sea-level rise. We wish to thank all
for the eff ort put forward to ensure
that this community-driven
project was included in the Community
Project earmarks.”
“Addressing the legacy of environmental
racism is an important
part of our response to climate
change,” said Malden Mayor Gary
Christenson, “and that is what we
are doing with the Malden River
Works project. It represents a
new planning approach for Malden
that focuses on elevating the
voices of marginalized community
members to build a climate-resilient
park on the Malden River.
The funding secured by our federal
delegation will play an important
role in the eventual success
of Malden River Works.”
Revere: Riverside Climate
Resiliency Project ($1,977,220)
The funding will alleviate current
conditions and prepare
the community for the impact
of worsening risks of climate
change and sea-level rise. It expands
mitigation and adaptation
eff orts in the RiverFront area
in Revere.
“As a community located outside
the shelter of Boston Harbor
we get the brunt of increasingly
intense winter storms,” said
Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo. “This
funding will help us manage
coastal fl ooding in our Riverfront
neighborhood.”
“The frequent fl ooding of the
Riverside neighborhood due to
sea level rise has reached a critical
juncture,” said Revere activist
Loretta LaCentra. “Our worstcase
scenario has become a common
event as we dread reports
of upcoming fl ooding and King

and remediation to address
the multiple fl ooding events we
experience annually. We cannot
wait any longer.”

construct a pedestrian boardwalk
throughout the site.
“For as long as I can remember,
the wetlands portion of
Gateway Park has been neglected
and overgrown,” said Everett
Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “This grant
will help us restore wildlife habitat
and bring residents in an environmental
justice community
closer to nature along the Malden
River and Boston Harbor
waterfront.”
“Everett is in desperate need of
healthy open space… We can’t
wait to see Gateway Park finished,”
said Josee Genty from Everett
Community Growers.
MyRWA: Cooling Urban Heat
Islands through Enhancing
Urban Forests in Greater Boston’s
Mystic River Watershed
($400,000)
This funding will help mitigate
the dangers of climate-driven
extreme heat in vulnerable environmental
justice communities,
including Everett, Chelsea
and East Boston. The program
will support the implementation
of local urban forestry plans
(including the planting of 750
trees), while training youths, reentry
citizens and others to perform
the horticulture activities
needed to establish and maintain
urban trees.
“This funding allows us to partner
with communities to cool
off some of the hottest neighborhoods
in our watershed that
currently have very few parks,
trees, or other cooling amenities,”
said MyRWA Deputy Director
for Projects David Queeley.
“These same neighborhoods
are where many low-income BIPOC
residents live due to past
redlining practices and crushingly
high housing prices elsewhere.
Helping vulnerable residents
stay safe lowers hospitalization
rates and medical costs. If
we can help cool off the hottest
streets, or even whole neighborhoods,
why wouldn’t we?”
Mystic River Watershed at a
Glance
The 76-square-mile Mystic
River Watershed stretches from
Reading through the northern
shoreline of Boston Harbor to Revere.
It is one of New England’s
most urbanized watersheds. The
seven-mile Mystic River and its
tributaries represented an early
economic engine for colonial
Boston; 10 shipyards, tide-driven
mills, brickyards and tanneries
along both banks of the river
brought both wealth and pollution.
In the 1960s, the Amelia
Earhart Dam transformed much
of the river into a freshwater impoundment,
while construction
of Interstate 93 fi lled in wetlands
and dramatically changed the
river’s course. Since then, many
former industrial sites have been
cleaned up and redeveloped
into new commercial areas and
residential communities.
The Mystic is facing growing
climate-related challenges:
coastal and stormwater fl ooding,
extreme storms, heat, drought
and unpredictable seasonal
weather. The watershed is relatively
low-lying and extensively
developed, making it prone
to both freshwater and coastal
fl ooding. Its 21 municipalities
are home to 600,000 residents, including
many who are disproportionately
vulnerable to extreme
weather: environmental justice
communities, new Americans,
residents of color, elders, low-income
residents and employees,
people living with disabilities and
English-language learners.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
Last week was full of activity on
Beacon Hill. The Legislature approved
and sent to then-Gov.
Charlie Baker, before his term
was up, several bills passed on
voice votes, without roll calls, prior
to the end of the 2021-2022
session on Tuesday, January 3.
The Legislature convened the
2023-2024 session on Wednesday,
January 4. Much of the day’s
activities were ceremonial including
the swearing-in of state
senators and representatives.
The only roll call votes were on
the election of a speaker of the
House and Senate president.
The day also featured a farewell
speech by outgoing Gov. Charlie
Baker.
One senator and two representatives
were not present at
the opening session. Beacon
Hill Roll Call asked each one why
they were absent.
Rep. Patricia Haddad (D-Somerset)
said she was in the emergency
room with her husband.
Rep. Erica Uyterhoeven (DSomerville)
said she was ill.
A spokesman for Sen. Mike
Rush (D-Boston) said that Rush
had a minor medical issue.
On Thursday, January 5, newly
elected Gov. Maura Healey and
Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll were sworn
into offi ce.

ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
REDUCED TRAFFIC FATALITIES
AND PROTECT PEDESTRIANS
AND BICYCLISTS (H 5103)
– Gov. Baker signed into law a
bill that would protect vulnerable
road users which includes
pedestrians, construction workers,
emergency responders bicyclists,
skateboarders, roller skaters
and wheelchair users. A key
provision requires vehicle drivers,
when passing a vulnerable
user, to pass at a safe distance
of not less than 4 feet.
Other provisions include establishing
a process to request
the lowering of the default
speed limit to 25 mph on state
highways in a community; clarifying
the process for modifying
special limits that apply on some
roads; requiring higher-visibility
mirrors and lateral sideguards
on certain state-owned, stateoperated
and state-contracted
trucks; creating a uniform reporting
tool for crashes involving
a pedestrian or cyclist; and
requiring bicyclists to have red
rear lights.
“This bill refl ects over 10 years
of collaborative effort among
people who care about road
safety,” said sponsor Sen. Will
Brownsberger (D-Belmont). “I’m
so glad we could get it to governor’s
desk again. I feel the fi nal
bill is as strong as what we originally
submitted. It will save lives
on the roads.”
THEFT OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
(S 3169) – Gov. Baker
signed into law legislation that
would create a “chain of custody”
for used catalytic converter
sales. A catalytic converter is
a device that converts the environmentally
hazardous exhaust
emitted by a vehicle’s engine
into less harmful gases. The
measure requires the buyer to
keep records of each converter
purchased, which vehicle it was
removed from and who the seller
was. These records would be
made available upon request to
law enforcement.
Supporters explained that
several communities have seen
a rise in catalytic converter thefts
because the converters use platinum,
palladium or rhodium
to operate. According to the
National Insurance Crime Bureau,
the values of these precious
metals contained inside
catalytic converters have skyrocketed
and is staggering. As
of March 2022, rhodium is valued
at $20,000 per ounce; palladium
at $2,938 per ounce; and
platinum at $1,128 per ounce.
For thieves, this means a catalytic
converter might be a better
score than the average wedding
band or gold watch.
“Catalytic theft is an epidemic,”
said House sponsor Rep. Steve
Howitt (R-Seekonk). “It is not
only very costly to the vehicle
owner, if they do not have comprehensive
insurance, it creates
an inconvenience to have repairs
done. I’m very pleased that
the House and Senate worked
together for this timely and important
bill that benefi ts all the
citizens of the commonwealth.”
“Many scrapyards and blackmarket
buyers have an open
call out for catalytic converters,
which they turn around and sell
to metal recyclers,” says the Cavallo
and Signoriello Insurance
Agency in Massachusetts. “Ten
years ago, a thief could earn between
$20 and $200 per stolen
converter. Today, thanks to the
spike in the value of these metals,
that range is more like $300
to $850, for just a few minutes
of work.”
PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM
(S 2731) – Gov. Baker signed
into law a bill that would ensure
that pregnant and postpartum
mothers get necessary and potentially
life-saving health care
by extending MassHealth insurance
coverage to 12 months after
pregnancy. MassHealth is the
state’s Medicaid program that
provides health care for low-income
and disabled persons.
Supporters said that according
to a recent report released
by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, the number
of women identifi ed as having
died of maternal causes in
the United States climbed from
658 in 2018 to 861 in 2020, with
the maternal death rate for Black
women reaching an alarming
55.3 deaths per 100,000 live
births.
“I am proud that Massachusetts
has taken another step to
combat inequities in maternal
health,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (DSalem),
the lead Senate sponsor
of the measure. “By extending
postpartum healthcare coverage
to a full year, parents will
be able to access vital physical
and behavioral health resources
that will decrease mortality
and severe morbidity and improve
the overall health of parent
and child.”
PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF
PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (H
5195) – The House and Senate
on November 21, approved and
sent to then-Gov. Baker legislation
that would repeal a current
state law which creates professional
licensure consequences
for anyone who defaults on their
student loan. Under current law,
a borrower’s state-issued professional
or occupational certificate,
registration or license can
be suspended, revoked or canceled
if the borrower is in default
on an education loan.
“This draconian approach prevents
an individual from access
to the profession for which he or
she has trained and has the perverse
result of further hindering
their ability to earn a living and
making it more diffi cult to make
loan payments,” said co-sponsor
Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian
(D-Melrose). “And as families
work to recover from the fi nancial
fallout of the pandemic, the
last thing the state should do is
deny them access to their professional
pursuits because of
student loan defaults.”
Baker proposed an amendment
to the bill on December
1. Baker’s amendment would
allow the Division of Banks to
consider student loan defaults
in order to ensure that the DiviBEACON

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 2023
WARMING | FROM Page 1
“We will make sure there is
no impact to senior center operations.
There will be cleaning
crews and on-site security,”
said Arrigo, who added, “If
people feel uncomfortable and
it doesn’t work, we’ll scrap the
program.”
But that did little to appease
seniors, who feel they are losing
the only place in the city
where they feel safe and secure
and where they are not at risk for
Covid and other diseases. Newly
elected City Council President
Patrick Keefe had to bang his
gavel several times to call for order
among the audience members
who continued to call out
questions about the program.
One woman asked if those
using the warming center will
need to show proof that they’ve
been vaccinated. “We’re a vulnerable
group to have people
at the senior center who aren’t
vaccinated,” she said.
“We have people with underlying
conditions. We care about
the homeless, but we were hoping
they could have some other
place where there’s not seniors.
I don’t know these people,”
she said.
Buck explained that Housing
Families, a large nonprofi t agency
that will be managing the
warming center, will be cleaning
and disinfecting the center every
morning. They will also monitor
people using the center and
BEACON | FROM Page 14
sion will retain the discretion it
has always applied when assessing
an applicant’s fi tness to provide
consumer fi nancial services
to prospective borrowers.
“Precluding the Division of
Banks from reviewing credit reports
as part of its evaluation of
an individual’s fi nancial responsibility
for a fi nancial services license
could ultimately result in
harm to consumers,” said Baker.
The House and Senate had
more than a month to act on the
governor’s amendment but did
ot do so.. As a result, the bill died
on January 3, the fi nal day of the
2021-2022 session.
“This is a common-sense bill
that not only helps a student
practice their profession but it is
also likely to help a student earn
enough money to pay off any
outstanding student debt,” said
co-sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge
(D-Acton). “I was hoping the bill
would make it to the governor’s
desk, and wish he had not fi led
an amendment to the alreadypassed
bill.”
EXPAND CIVIL SERVICE OPTION
FOR CITIES AND TOWNS
(S 1661) – The House and Senate
both approved a bill that
would allow legislative governing
bodies of cities and towns
the option to expand the defi -
use rapid Covid tests when they
feel someone may present a risk
of spreading the virus. Buck also
reminded seniors that they have
more of a risk of contracting covid
at supermarkets, doctors’ offi
ces and other indoor public environments.
Reservoir
Avenue resident
Frank Schettino questioned the
hours of the center, which will
be 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. “What
do we do after that?” asked
Schettino. “We don’t want to put
them out in the cold again. My
gut feeling is they are going to
be putting tents outside.”
Schettino also said seniors feel
the center would never be completely
cleaned.
“If we don’t do something
we’re going to lose a lot of people
at the elderly center,” added
Schettino. “That’s all we have
left. We have nothing against
the homeless – we just wish it
was another location.”
Although Arrigo and Buck
stressed the warming center is
not a shelter and will not have
beds or cots, and no food will
be served, Senior Center member
Joann Woods said people
are sleeping there at night.
Woods suggested that the city
fi nd somewhere other than the
senior center for the program.
Several city councillors also
felt the city should look at different
sites.
“We can make a warming center
wherever we want. This is our
city; we can put it wherever we
nition of local residency for civil
service hiring preference to
include anyone who received
a high school diploma from a
school in that city or town. Neither
branch gave the measure
fi nal approval.
“This legislation could aid
municipalities in their eff orts to
draw from a diverse pool of applicants
for police and fi re department
jobs, and provide additional
career opportunities for
students who become part of
a local community by attending
and graduating from its
high school,” said sponsor Sen.
Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont)
who plans to refi le the bill in the
2023-2024 session.
Supporters gave an example
that a student enrolled in the
METCO program who graduated
from high school in another
city or town could be considered
a local resident for civil service
purposes if the city council
or town meeting voted to expand
the residency defi nition
under the proposed legislation.

want. I don’t understand why
we’re so reluctant to look at an
alternative site,” said Councillorat-Large
Dan Rizzo, who made
a motion that the city look at
the feasibility of other sites. Rizzo
suggested the police station
community room and the
American Legion as possible options.
The council approved that
motion. The council also called
for the city to hold another forum
with seniors to share more
information about the program.
Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri
made a passionate statement
in favor of the warming
ple he set for eight years was in
the best traditions of public service,
and it now becomes his
legacy. Gov. Baker, I thank you,
and our state thanks you.”
“My grandparents met on
the fi shing docks in a Gloucester
summer. She was in nursing
school; he worked at the GE
factory. Later, when I was to be
born at a naval hospital in Maryland,
they worried that I wasn’t
starting my life on Massachusetts
soil. So she dug up a little
dirt from the woodlot, caught a
plane, sneaked into the hospital
room, and put the little bag under
the delivery table.”
“Our state Constitution recognized
our natural and essential
rights and declared them to
the world. The people of Massachusetts
have always believed
in protecting these rights, and
dedicating them to a higher purpose.
We were the fi rst to guarantee
that health care is universal,
and twenty years ago now,
that love is, too. It is in that spirit
of common humanity that I
stand before you today, representing
another historic fi rst.”
“The strength of Massachusetts
is its families. And they
sorely need our help. Our state
has some of the highest childcare
costs in the country. Our
care workers don’t make a livable
wage. So today, let us
center. Silvestri worked with
homeless people on the emergency
response team during
the height of pandemic. He told
the audience they are not bad
people and they are only looking
for a place to stay warm and
stay alive. Silvestri said he was
not afraid of losing votes for his
support of a program meant to
keep people from dying in the
streets of exposure.
Councillor-at-Large Anthony
Zambuto called the warming
center program a “noble goal”
but added that he would like to
see better communication bepledge
to be the fi rst state to
solve the childcare crisis. Let’s fi -
nally pass legislation in line with
Common Start to make sure every
family pays what they can afford,
and that care workers are
paid what they deserve.”
“But I’m even more excited
about tomorrow. Because tomorrow
we get to work. We get
to work in the greatest state, for
the greatest people, at a moment
when we can make the
greatest diff erence—now and
for a generation to come. So
with great optimism and pride,
I thank you all, and now let’s
come together and get this
done. God bless you, and God
bless this commonwealth.”
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 legistween
the city and the seniors
about the center. “It’s the right
thing to do although I might
have wanted it to be in a diff erent
place,” said Zambuto.
Councillor-at-Large Gerry Visconti
said it is important to keep
in mind that the program is to
provide a temporary shelter. Visconti
and other councillors felt
that if seniors see the program
up and running for a couple of
weeks, they would see steps
have been taken to address all
of their concerns. “As long as
their minds are at ease, we’re at
ease,” he said.

note that the infrequency and

A Checklist of What
to Do When a Loved
One Dies
Dear Savvy Senior,
What steps need to be taken after a loved one dies?
My 71-year-old uncle, who’s divorced with no children,
has terminal cancer. He’s asked me to take care of his
aff airs so I would like to fi nd out what I need to do after
he passes away.
Unsure Nephew
Dear Unsure,
I’m very sorry to hear about
your uncle. The death of a loved of
can bring about a host of diff erent
tasks and responsibilities. Here’s
a list of some things you can do
now, and after his death, that can
help keep a sad event from becoming
even more diffi cult.
Before Death Occurs
There are several tasks you can
do now while your uncle is still living
that will make things easier for
you after he dies.
For starters, fi nd out where he
keeps all his important papers like
his trust and/or will (also make
sure it’s updated), birth certificate,
Social Security information,
life-insurance policies, military
discharge papers, fi nancial documents,
key or combination to a
safe deposit box or a home safe.
Also make a list of his digital assets
(including usernames and passwords)
like his email account, online
banking accounts, social media
accounts, etc.
If your uncle doesn’t have an adNorma

Joe DiNuzzo

vanced directive, help him make
one (see CaringInfo.org for free
state-specifi c forms and instructions).
An advanced directive includes
a living will that specifi es
his end-of-life medical treatments
and appoints a health-care proxy
to make medical decisions if he
becomes incapacitated. In addition,
you should also make a
do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order.
Your uncle’s doctor can help you
with this.
You should also pre-arrange
his funeral, memorial service, and
burial or cremation.
Immediately After Death
Once your uncle dies, you’ll
need to get a legal pronouncement
of death. If no doctor is present,
you’ll need to contact someone
to do this.
If he dies at home under hospice
care, call the hospice nurse,
who can declare his death and
help facilitate the transport of
the body.
If he dies at home without hospice
care, call your uncle’s doctor.
You’ll then need to call the funeral
home, mortuary or crematorium
to pick up the body. If your uncle
is an organ or tissue donor, contact
the funeral home or the county
coroner immediately.
Within a Few Days
If funeral plans were not pre-arranged,
you’ll need to make arrangements
and prepare an obituary.
If your uncle was in the military
or belonged to a fraternal or
religious group, you should contact
those organizations too, because
they may have burial benefi
ts or conduct funeral services.
You should also notify family
members, close friends and his
employer if he was still working,
and make sure his home is secured.
Up
to 10 Days After Death
To wind down your uncle’s fi -
nancial aff airs, you’ll need to get
multiple copies of his death certificate,
which are typically ordered
by the funeral home.
If you’re the executor of your
uncle’s estate, take his will to the
appropriate county or city offi ce
to have it accepted for probate.
And open a bank account for your
uncle’s estate to pay bills, including
taxes, funeral costs, etc.
You also need to contact your
uncle’s estate attorney if he has
one; tax preparer to see if estate
or fi nal income taxes should be
fi led; fi nancial advisor for information
on fi nancial holdings; life insurance
agent to get claim forms;
his bank to locate and close accounts;
and Social Security, the VA
(if he’s a veteran) and other agencies
that provided benefi ts in order
to stop payments.
You should also cancel his credit
cards, delete or memorialize his
social media accounts and, if relevant,
stop household services
like utilities, mail, etc. His home
and personal belonging will also
need to be dealt with in the coming
weeks.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior,
P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.
