Although turnout was low with only 16 percent of the city’s eligible voters making it to the polls, the message was that residents who did vote seemed to feel positive about the direction of the city. Sitting city councillors took the fi ve at-large seats on the ballot, with Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna being the only new at-large councillor for the upcoming term. “My mother and father always told me if you want something you work hard enough to get it,†said McKenna, who ran a tireless campaign, knocking on 5,200 doors. “I ran a grassroots campaign, and it was a wonderful experience,†she said, adding that she was well received by voters interested in a broad range of issues. Silvestri said he is excited to be back. “I’m looking forward to another two years,†he said. Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley said she was also happy with the results and looking forward to a new term. However, Kelley was reluctant to call the results a vote of confi dence since there were only two competitive races on the ballot. According to the unoffi cial results, Robert Haas III came in first in the at-large race with 2,484 votes followed by McKenna with 2,342 votes. Next came Anthony Zambuto with 2,145 votes, Michelle Kelley with 2,082 votes and City Council President Marc Silvestri with 2,065 votes. Juan Pablo Jaramillo was the only incumbent not to be returned to the council. The two new challengers, Anthony Parziale and Wayne Rose, came in last, with 1,406 votes for Parziale and 1,040 votes for Rose. In the wards, five incumbent councillors — Ira NoJoanne McKenna Wins Councillor-at-Large voselsky, Ward 2, Anthony Cogliandro, Ward 3, Paul Argenzio, Ward 4, Angela GuarinoSawaya, Ward 5, and Christopher Giannino, Ward 6, — ran unopposed and were reelected to their seats.

Though the suspension of SNAP benefi ts has been a highly-politicized national issue, these cuts will hit closer to home than you may think. Suspended SNAP benefi ts will impact 1,076,187 Massachusetts residents (15.3% of state population) and 330,000+ children. In Suff olk County alone, there is a 49% food insecurity rate, or 1 in 2 households, which is the highest in the state. Beyond affecting vulnerable families, the lapse of these programs will impact local food economies, grocery prices, and food producers.

Almost 60 percent of all students in grades 3-8 are not meeting or exceeding expectations in English Language Arts (ELA), and 50 percent in grade 10 are not meeting or exceeding ELA expectations. Additionally, achievement gaps among all major racial and ethnic student groups, students with disabilities, low-income students, and English learners have widened when compared with 2019, according to data from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The early literacy bill passed by the House today defi nes evidence-based early literacy as grounded in scientifi c research methods, and demonstrated to produce signifi cant and positive eff ects on student learning outcomes. Many school districts in Massachusetts have switched to evidence-based early literacy curricula, and some have been assisted by grants awarded through the state’s Literacy Launch program, administered by Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and funded by the Legislature at $35 million. However, some school districts have yet to fully adopt proven literacy curricula, despite being the most effective ways to improve reading outcomes. The bill provides a framework for DESE to identify and approve a list of high-quality curricula that school districts will select from for kindergarten through third grade literacy. It also allows districts to apply to DESE to use a K-3 literacy instruction curriculum that is not on DESE’s list of high-quality curricula, provided DESE verifi es that it uses evidence-based literacy instruction. The bill supports teachers by requiring DESE to provide tools and resources, including online materials and free training modules, to aid districts with professional development aligned with evidence-based literacy instruction for K-3. It also ensures that educator preparation programs are preparing future educators in alignment with evidence-based literacy instruction. To measure progress, the bill requires schools to report on early literacy instruction starting in the 2026 school year, and requires DESE to report annually on literacy instruction. Finally, the bill requires a study and district reporting on the literacy workforce in schools and school libraries, it also allows literacy grants to be used to coordinate screenings, professional development, and library investments. Financial Literacy The financial literacy bill passed today creates a Financial Literacy Trust Fund for educating middle- and high-school students on personal fi nancial literacy.

The bill requires school districts to provide instruction to middle- and high-school students on personal fi nancial literacy, starting in the 2026 school year, consistent with standards set by DESE, including: • earning and spending income, local, state and federal taxes, charitable giving, methods of payment, consumer protection, balancing ledgers and checkbooks and budgeting; • long-term saving, the role of banks and financial institutions, interest both simple and compound, fi nancial regulation and planning for the future; • using credit and making investments, risks of various fi - nancial instruments and basic diversifi cation of assets; • protecting and insuring assets, preventing identity theft and avoiding online scams; • emerging technologies in the fi nancial industry, a basic understanding of crypto currencies, online commerce and computer stock-trading, how to evaluate media content, including digital content relating to personal fi nance matters and how to evaluate risk; and • rights and responsibilities of renting or buying a home or making other large purchases or investments. The bill requires DESE to assist schools by facilitating access to high-quality curricular materials and professional development opportunities, which may be in person or through audio, video, or other electronic media. To measure progress, the bill requires DESE to report annually on personal fi nancial literacy instruction. “Giving kids access to the fi - nancial skills they need to succeed has been a top priority of mine for many years,†said State Treasurer Deborah B.

The seal appears on the transcript or diploma of the graduating senior and is a statement of accomplishment for future employers and for college admissions. To qualify, a student must meet criteria established by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), including a specifi ed level of performance on: the 10th grade language arts exams of the MCAS, and at least one nationally recognized and readily available assessment that measures literacy in a language other than English. The bill passed today updates these criteria by changing the MCAS requirement to allow another assessment or equivalent alternative to be established by BESE. The three bills passed the House of Representatives 1550.

McKenna, who has known Mercurio for years, called him a good guy who will do a good job. She added that she’s there to off er any help if needed, and together they will be the dynamic duo. This year, the School Committee race was restructured. Voters elected School Committee members to two atlarge seats and six ward seats. John Kingston and Stacey Bronsdon-Rizzo were elected to the two at-large seats, defeating incumbent Frederick Sanella and challenger Ralph DeCicco. Incumbent Jacqueline Monterroso defeated challenger Kathryn Schulte-Grahame by a margin of 453-425 in the Ward 1 School Committee race. Alexander Rhalimi won the Ward 2 School Committee seat, defeating opponent Rafael Feliciano, 189-169 votes. Rhalimi will be the fi rst Moroccan American elected to public offi ce in Revere. Remaining candidates Anthony Caggiano of Ward 3, Stephen Damiano Jr. in Ward 4, Aisha Milbury-Ellis in Ward 5 and Vanessa Biasella in Ward 6 ran unopposed. The one surprise in the results was the nonbinding ballot question asking if voters favor a repeal of the prohibition of recreational marijuana facilities. Many city offi - cials have suggested it’s time to repeal the ban and open a new stream of revenue for the city. But voters said no to recreational marijuana with 1,884 voting against a repeal and 1,676 voting in favor of it. Argenzio noted that there were 1,600 blanks for the ballot question, which may suggest that voters didn’t understand the question. And with only 16 percent of the electorate turning out, Argenzio wasn’t sure if that could be considered a consensus on the question of recreational marijuana. But City Council President Marc Silvestri had a diff erent reaction to the vote. “The city spoke,†he said.

How long has it been? Five years now or maybe it’s seven years since the last parade marched down Bennington toward Chelsea on its way to Maverick Square. Back as a kid my entire family would take the train over to Maverick Square to watch the Columbus Day Parade right at the bend from Chelsea to Meridian Street. On even-ended years we’d be over in Eastie and on oddending years it was Hanover îîšî”  î€–î€šî€šî€ î€¤îîîî†î„î•îŠîƒîî†î”  î€î€’î€šî€–î€ Street in the North End. It happened over and over again until the Pandemic and woke politics changed everything. Now, our elected officials seem to think Columbus is a four-letter word. They call it Indigenous Day nowadays not to off end anyone, I guess, except members of the Italian American community. We seem not to count anymore and nor are we feared either. The Wokemobile just ran over us, that’s all folks. Except that’s not all folks. There’s a move afl oat to take back our parade. On Monday of this week a group of East Boston community leaders met at Kelley’s Square Pub to resurrect our parade. They think it’s now or never. I am sure those who came before us in previous generations who supported Italian Pride, who supported Columbus Day and who supported our heritage wondered what took us so long to grow a spine.

The event will be on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at First Congregational Church (121 West Foster St., Melrose) from 9:00-1.30. The Society was started in 1903 by Mrs. Sterling, wife of the Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church on West Emerson Street. In 1905 a constitution was drawn up and the “Tudor Rose†was adopted as the Society’s seal. In honor of this anniversary, Cathy Cormier and members designed and hand embroidered squares representing outreach projects, friendship and what the Society means to them. Please come and see all the diff erent exhibit items our members have lovingly made. Visit our sales, past class and raffl e tables, along with the teddy bear and outreach tables. Don’t miss our treasure room, baked goods table and the demonstrations throughout the day. Afterward, please sit and enjoy a complimentary cup of tea, coff ee and goodies. Any questions, please ask any of our members about the Society and membership. We would love to have you drop in and visit us at any of our monthly meetings. All are welcome. We are a nonprofi t organization. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Melrose Cultural Council. need to fi nd their collective spines too. The fi rst step has been taken over at Kelley’s and now the East Boston community must stand up and march together once again. I remember the last parade we held showed East Boston’s diversity marching together. It wasn’t just an Italian parade; it was for the entire community. In recent years more and more members of our growing Latino community started participating in the line of march and enriched it. Then, our weak politicians at City Hall and the State House caved in and started attacking Columbus too. Even those with Italian surnames. I have nothing against Indigenous peoples, American Indians or Native Americans. They can call themselves whatever they wish. However, the last thing that’s needed is pitting two groups against each other. I want this parade back. I really want it called Columbus Day but I can settle on an Italian American Heritage Parade if it gets the marchers marching and bands playing music again. Over 100 years ago the Irish American community over in South Boston got their St. Patrick’s Day Parade but they had to call it Evacuation Day. It’s been that since. However, everyone knows that parade is more about St. Patrick than George Washington. No one over there ever tells anyone Happy Evacuation Day, do they? Listen, while I am all wound up here, perhaps we could even see if East Boston folks could reach out to Revere folks and get both communities together to bring one parade back for both communities going forward. I remember for years both East Boston and Revere had the help of parade organizer Buddy Mangini helping to make both the East Boston and Revere parades come to life. Buddy is gone now but we are still here. returning this to active duty is quite doable. I want the parade back and I think, with the help of folks from Revere joining folks from Eastie, we can make a great parade, even greater than before. Let us hope that this first meeting earlier this week over at Kelley’s Square Pub is just the fi rst step on the road to building up Italian American Pride and marching once again together as a reality. As a side note, I hope that Italian and Latino members of both East Boston and Revere can also join together. Ethnic Pride for all is as American as you can get and so is a good parade. Stick a fork in Wokeness, it’s not going to work anymore if we all just stick together. ׉ Ú7cassandra://-lPy7PSLLJZMmIXISMp7mnQ_CGPYkdXS3qO0Y3TqebMÍ5ÇÍ`ÌÔÍ×i é^Æ©&-y׉EÚ’THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2025 Page 9 DONATES | FROM Page 1 toll on them as well. He added that Wakefield Strong represents the healing process from that day. He said the detectives saved the officers’ life. In 2021 suspect Timothy Martin, who is accused of killing his mother Pamela Wood, was shot by police when he charged at offi cers with a knife above his head, according to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan. Police went to their basement and found Wood, who was pronounced dead at the scene. As offi cers called for backup, a suspect identifi ed as Martin emerged from a corner of the basement, according to the Middlesex District Attorney. Martin allegedly ran at Offi - cer Kelly Toybne, Offi cer Kevin McCull, Lt. Scott ReBoulet, Detective Ken Silva and Offi - cer Meghan Roberts as he held a knife above his head. Martin reportedly refused to put the knife down, and the two detectives discharged their weapons. During the ceremony on Sunday, Mulvaney said Wakefi eld Strong and other dedicated horses serve as living tributes, ensuring the continued remembrance of law enforcement personnel for their remarkable bravery. “It is important to recognize that not only humans face risks on the front lines; mounted patrol horses also bear symbols of service through their buckles and badges,†Mulvaney said to the crowd. “We look to people like [Grace and Ryan] for protection when tragedy strikes, and we say thank you for givHorses and Heroes Foundation President Skyllar Mulvaney said not only humans face risks on the front lines; mounted patrol horses also bear symbols of service through their buckles and badges.

The Patriots held off Everett, 21-14, at Harry Della Russo Stadium, marking the fi rst time in recent memory that Revere has beaten the Crimson Tide in consecutive years. Last year, it was the fi rst win over Everett since 1991. This time, it was a solid victory by a football team that is getting stronger as the year goes on. “Good teams fi nd a way to win,†said Head Coach Lou Cicatelli. “We played four quarters, which is what I preach all the time. Came back when they went ahead, showed some grit on our two long drives. That last [winning] drive was something else.†Revere (3-5) has now won two straight and fi nished 3-3 in the Greater Boston League. They travel to Newburyport Friday night in a consolation round. The Patriots fell shy of the Division 3 playoff s but will Reda Atoui pushes off an Everett defender as he gains some yardage for Revere. play two consolation-round games before fi nishing up on Thanksgiving Day. The Patriots’ defense set the tone early. After Everett converted a fourth down to reach first-and-goal from the Revere 1, Everett’s quarterback dropped the snap — and Revere’s Reda Atoui pounced on it at the 4. That takeaway swung momentum squarely toward the home team. Two plays later, Cicatelli reached into his Wing-T bag of tricks. On 3rd-and-16 from the Revere 9, Atoui took a reverse counter — a staple Cicatelli calls “Sally†— and sprinted 63 yards to the Everett 28. “It’s a Cicatelli staple,†the coach said with a grin. “It looks like Revere’s Jose Fuentes looks downfi eld for a receiver. a pass, then it’s a timing play — tough to stop.†Quarterback Sergio Peguero kept the drive alive with a 12-yard run, and on 3rd-and-1 from the 7, Mario Ramirez powered in for a 7-0 lead. Minutes later, Jose Fuentes intercepted a pass and returned it 25 yards to the Everett 35. Atoui fi nished that series with an 11-yard touchdown on the same “Sally†call to put Revere ahead 13-0 just before halftime.

But Revere responded with its best drive of the season. Starting at its own 25, Peguero burst 24 yards to the Everett 41, and Fuentes followed with another fi rst down run to the 27. On 3rd-and-7 from the 12, Cicatelli went back to “Sally†— and Atoui delivered again, slipping through with 1:30 left. Fuentes then hit Atoui for the two-point conversion to make it 21-14. Everett threatened late, driving inside the Revere 30, but Atoui sealed it with an interception in the fi nal seconds — his second turnover recovery of the game. “He was the MVP,†Cicatelli said. “He’s a football player — he’s got that sense. He was everywhere. We gave the game ball to him and Sergio.†Revere’s defense bent but didn’t break all night. Filipe DeMelo had an interception, Walter Franklin had one of his best games of the season, and Atoui and Fuentes were active in the run game. “Our defense bent and bent and bent but didn’t break,†Cicatelli said. “That’s kind of the philosophy — it worked.†The coach also credited offensive coordinator Jose Escobar for adapting to Everett’s scheme. “They took our inside game away, they took our power away, and they took our belly away,†he said. “We had to fi gure it out, and we did. We ran toss, we ran Sally, and we won the football game. Coach Escobar did a great job adjusting.†For Cicatelli, the back-toback wins over Everett carry special weight. “It’s tough to beat them two years in a row,†he said. “I don’t think many teams have done it. Maybe none. It gives you an extra kick in your step. It’s pretty special.†׉ Ú7cassandra://czMfr_ZDSRc87QXbIDjPoFUaN5pOZvKS-WzApTr_BwAÍ8³Í`ÌÔÍ×i é^Æ©&-׉EÚtTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2025 Page 15 Reda Atoui looks to block incoming Everett defenders as his teammate Jose Fuentes moves the ball up fi eld.

Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. By Bob Katzen If you have any questions about this week’s report, e-mail us at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com or call us at (617) 720-1562 THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ votes on roll calls from the week of October 27-31. There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. FINANCIAL LITERACY (H 4670) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would create a Financial Literacy Trust Fund for educating middle- and high-school students on personal financial literacy. The funds would be used for procurement, development and distribution of personal fi nancial literacy educational resources and materials, as well as professional development opportunities, including training, seminars, conferences and materials for educators to use in teaching personal fi nancial literacy. Provisions include requiring school districts to provide instruction to middle- and highschool students on personal fi - nancial literacy, starting in the 2026 school year. The instruction would include earning and spending income; local, state and federal taxes; charitable giving; methods of payment; consumer protection; balancing ledgers and checkbooks; budgeting; long-term saving; simple and compound interest; planning for the future; using credit; making investments; risks of various fi nancial instruments and basic diversifi cation of assets; and rights and responsibilities of renting or buying a home or making other large purchases or investments. “Too many young people graduate without understanding how credit, loans or savings work,†said Rep. Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate) “This bill gives them the foundation to make informed fi nancial decisions that will impact their entire lives.†“I taught Financial Literacy as an elective at Attleboro High School and my point was always long-term planning,†said Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro). “Ten years ago it mattered that students learn about their credit score. It can aff ect not just buying a house but also car purchases and admission to schools and other programs. Now the economy is a threat since young people may want to buy a house but with $200,000 in student debt and $1,000 monthly car payments, they may have used up the limits of their indebtedness before even applying for a mortgage. And should they want to save up to a 20 percent down payment, that would be a challenge with $2500+ monthly apartment.†Jeff Turco Yes STATE SEAL OF BILITERACY (H 4671) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that makes it easier for students to receive a State Seal of Biliteracy which is awarded by school districts to students who have attained a high level of profi ciency in English and at least one other language. The seal appears on the transcript or diploma of the graduating senior and is a statement of accomplishment for future college admission and employers. Under current law, in order to qualify for the seal, a student must meet criteria established by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) including a specifi ed level of performance on the 10th grade language arts exams of the MCAS, and at least one nationally recognized and readily available assessment that measures literacy in a language other than English. The bill that the House approved updates these criteria by changing the MCAS requirement to allow another assessment or equivalent alternative to be established by BESE. “Under the current law, some bilingual students have been unintentionally excluded,†said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (DFramingham). “Until now, the only way to prove English profi - ciency was by passing the 10th grade English MCAS. That meant if you attended a private school that didn’t administer the MCAS, you were ineligible, even if you earned a fi ve on your AP English exam and a perfect score on the SAT.†“[My] bill addresses this issue,†continued Lewis. “Once it becomes law, all bilingual students, regardless of the high school they attend, will be eligible for this important designation.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes TEACHER PREPARATION AND STUDENT LITERACY (H 4672) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would provide a framework for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to identify and approve a list of high-quality curricula that school districts will select from for kindergarten through third grade literacy. It also allows districts to apply to DESE to use a K-3 literacy instruction curriculum that is not on DESE’s list of high-quality curricula, provided DESE verifi es that it uses evidence-based literacy instruction. Supporters said this bill would defi ne evidence-based early literacy as grounded in scientifi c research methods and demonstrated to produce signifi cant and positive eff ects on student learning outcomes. They noted that many school districts in Massachusetts have switched to evidence-based early literacy curricula, and some have been assisted by grants awarded through the state’s Literacy Launch Program. They said that some school districts have yet to fully adopt proven literacy curricula, despite it being the most eff ective way to improve reading outcomes. Supporters also argued that the bill supports teachers by requiring DESE to provide tools and resources, including online materials and free training modules, to aid districts with professional development aligned with evidence-based literacy instruction for K-3. It also ensures that educator preparation programs are preparing future educators in alignment with evidence-based literacy instruction. “We fi led this legislation because literacy is not just an academic skill — it is a life skill,†said Rep. Danillo Sena (D-Acton), the co-sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “It is the foundation for all future learning, for civic participation, and for economic opportunity. This bill ensures that our students learn through evidence-based and high-quality strategies.†“As a former special education teacher and as a father of four young kids, making sure all students are taught to read using effective, scientifically proven methods is deeply personal to me,†said Rep. Simon Cataldo (DConcord) also the co-sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “I am proud to have co-fi led the bill.†“Currently, fewer than half of Massachusetts third graders are reading at grade level,†said Rep. Alice Pesich (D-Wellesley), another co-sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “Research shows that children who do not read profi ciently by the end of third grade are far more likely to fall behind academically, drop out of school or face limited opportunities later in life. We must ensure that every student in Massachusetts has access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction.†American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts President Jessica Tang has her doubts about parts of the bill. “As passed today, this bill establishes a limited, blanket curriculum that is concerning, particularly to veteran educators who have developed rich and effective evidence-based literacy curriculum over the years,†said Tang. “Even more concerning is that it bans important, proven tools our educators currently use and use successfully, particularly with our English language learners and students with special needs. As educators, we fully support evidence-based literacy curriculum. We also know that it will take more than just curriculum for our students to fully thrive as they progress from learning to read to reading to learn.†Tang continued, “Even though we have concerns, we are pleased that the bill passed today includes key provisions we were proud to advocate for, including reporting and tracking measures, expanding funding opportunities for critical positions and establishing a commission to continue the important work to advance literacy in the commonwealth. We will continue to work with legislative and state allies on this issue and we look forward to seeing what comes out of the Senate.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.

The boys’ soccer team is the lone team that got a playoff win, advancing to the Division 2 Round of 32, while the girls volleyball squad’s return to state tournament play, a historic fi eld hockey turnaround and standout postseason performances in girls’ cross-country highlighted the past week. Boys’ soccer eyes upset after tournamentopening win T he Revere boys’ soccer team earned a 3-2 victory over Southeastern Regional Voke at home on Nov. 3, clinching a spot in the Round of 32 and setting up a matchup against top-seeded and three-time defending Division 2 state champion Oliver Ames (12-1-3). That contest was scheduled for Nov. 5 in North Easton (after press time). The Patriots fi nished the regular season 9-3-5 and entered the postseason as the No. 32 seed in the 39-team bracket. Last year, Revere reached the Division 2 Elite Eight before falling to Wakefi eld, 1-0. Head Coach Gerardo Rodriguez said this year’s group faced adversity late in the season but found its footing at the right time. “The last three weeks have been challenging,†he said. “We ended up letting go of our lead in the GBL and losing the league to Chelsea, but we had a big win at Central Catholic and responded well against Southeastern.†Rodriguez said his team’s success depends on fi nding consistency. “We’ve been inconsistent,†he said. “We play really well against strong opponents and then let our guard down against teams we should beat. That’s on me to make sure their mindset is right, but I’m confi dent we’re ready for this challenge.†Senior striker Patrick Valentim, who scored 20 goals this season, was named a Greater Boston League All-Star alongside senior midfielder Abel Aklog. Rodriguez said both will be crucial in the tournament. “If Patrick gets into a good, hot form like he did for a stretch there, we’ll be tough to stop,†he said. “And when we’re locked in defensively, we’re a hard team to break down.†Field hockey celebrates milestone season he Revere field hockey team closed out its first postseason appearance since 2018, fi nishing the year 10-71 after falling 8-0 to Bishop T Stang in the preliminary round of the Division 2 tournament. The Patriots also captured the Greater Boston League title with a 3-0-1 record. First-year Head Coach and former Revere player Victoria Correia credited her senior group for the turnaround. “They’re go-getters,†she said. “Whatever they wanted, they worked for. They kept pushing and believed in what we were building.†Senior captain Isabella Mendieta set a program record with 22 goals this season and 56 for her career, while fellow captains Gemma Stamatopoulos and Ava Morris anchored the midfi eld and defense. Senior goalie Sonia Haily delivered several standout performances, helping Revere record multiple shutouts. Correia said her fi rst year was both a learning experience and a rewarding one. “I couldn’t be prouder of how the season RHS | SEE Page 21 ~ HELP WANTED ~ Type of Person Needed: * Are you an experienced/willing to learn, motivated person looking for a shop where your skills can be valued?  îî’î†î„î î†î’îî“î„î‘îœ îšîŒî—î‹ î„ îƒ€îˆîˆî— î–î‹î’î“ îŒî– î„ î…î˜î–îœî€ î‰î„îîŒîîœî€î’îšî‘îˆî‡ î…î˜î–îŒî‘îˆî–î– î‡îˆî‡îŒî†î„î—îˆî‡ î—î’ î“î•î’î™îŒî‡îŒî‘îŠ î‹îŒîŠî‹î€î”î˜î„îîŒî—îœ î—î•î„î‘î–î“î’î•î—î„î—îŒî’î‘ services and public State inspection services.

Answers How to Stave Off Cognitive Decline as You Age Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any proven strategies to preventing cognitive decline? I have a family history of dementia and worry about my own memory and cognitive abilities as I grow older. Forgetful at 55 Dear Forgetful, For most people, starting in their fi fties and sixties, the brain’s ability to remember names, multi-task or learn something new starts declining. While our genes (which we can’t control) play a key role in determining our cognitive aging, our general health (which we do have some control over) plays a big factor too. Here are some healthy lifestyle strategies — recommended by medical experts — you can employ that can help stave off cognitive loss and maybe even build a stronger brain. Manage health problems: Studies have shown that cognitive problems are related to health conditions, like diabetes, heart disease and even depression. So, if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes you need to treat them with lifestyle changes and medication (if necessary) and get them under control. And if you have a history of depression, talk to your doctor about treatment options. Exercise: Aerobic exercise increases blood flow to all parts of your body, including your brain, to keep the brain cells well nourished. So, choose an aerobic activity you enjoy like walking, cycling, dancing, swimming, etc., that elevates your heart rate and do it for at least 30 to 40 minutes three times a week. Eat healthy: A hearthealthy diet, like the Mediterranean diet, will also help protect the brain. A Mediterranean diet includes relatively little red meat and emphasizes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, fi sh and shellfi sh, and nuts, olive oil and other healthy fats. Also keep processed foods and sweets to a minimum. Get plenty of sleep: Quality, restful sleep contributes to brain health too. Typically, adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep daily. If you have persistent problems sleeping, you need to identify and address the problem. Medications, latenight exercise and alcohol can interfere with sleep quality and length, as can arthritis pain, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. If you need help, make an appointment with a sleep specialist who will probably recommend an overnight diagnostic sleep test. Challenge your mind: Some research suggests that mind challenging activities can help improve memory, and slow age-related mental decline. But be aware that these activities consist of things you aren’t accustomed to doing. In other words, crossword puzzles aren’t enough to challenge your brain, if you’re already a regular puzzle doer. Instead, you need to pick up a new skill like learning to dance, play a musical instrument, study a new language or do math problems — something that’s challenging and a little outside your comfort zone. Brain-training websites like Lumosity, Elevate and Peak are good mind exercising tools because they continually adapt to your skill level to keep you challenged. Socializing and interacting with other people is another important way to stimulate the brain. So, make a point to reach out and stay connected to friends, family and neighbors. Join a club, take a class or even volunteer — anything that enhances your social life. Don’t smoke or drink: Smoking and regular alcohol consumption both aff ect the brain in a negative way, so kick the habit if you smoke and, if you drink, do so only occasionally. Check your eyes and ears: A growing body of evidence shows that vision and hearing loss, which aff ects brain stimulation, can also increase the risk of cognitive decline. So, get your eyes and ears checked regularly and treat any issues promptly. Reduce stress: Some stress is good for the brain, but too much can be toxic. There’s evidence that things like mindfulness meditation, yoga and tai chi are all good ways to help reduce stress.

George was a truck driver and worked for many years at American Biltrite in Chelsea and eventually took a position with the United States Postal Service until his retirement. George enjoyed being surrounded by his family and another of his greatest joys was boating and being out on the water on his boat, “Laura Linâ€.

Vincenzo Mellace P assed away peacefully on October 30, at the age of 97. Born and raised in Revere, Dunna spent the fi rst 86 years of his life in the City of Revere. He loved Revere where he married the love of his life, raised his family and developed lifelong friendships and memories. He spent his fi nal 11 years in Virginia with his son Damon and his wife Sue where he adapted as best he could — but nothing could take the place of Revere. He cherished his City and often longed for the simplicity of his life on 189 Vane Street. He is survived by his daughter P Robyn Cerrone of Lynn, and her partner Frank Ming; his son Damon Cerrone and his wife Sue; his grandchildren Staci Elkhatib and her husband Adam, and Samantha Webber and her husband Ward Strickland; and his assed away on November 3, surrounded by his loving family at the age of 86. Born in Montauro, Calabria, Italy on November 10, 1938, to the late Domenico Mellace and Rosina (Squillacioti). He brought a unique blend of humor, love, and craftsmanship into the world. His legacy is one of laughter, dedication, and the kind of love that is woven into the very fabric of our lives. Vincenzo was a master tailor, a skill he learned from his father, Domenico, at the tender age of eight. In his hands, a piece of fabric could be transformed into a work of art, and he practiced this craft for nearly 80 years. His skill was not just in the clothes he made but in the lives he touched. Each stitch was an extension of his love for his work, his family, and life itself. He had a knack for delivering the best one-liners that eased tense moments and brought smiles to all around him. Vincenzo’s move from Italy to Revere marked a new chapter in his life. Here, he nurtured a family and a career, both of which bloomed like the garden he lovingly tended. His devotion was evident in the beautiful garments he crafted, the lush garden he grew, and the warmth he shared with his family and friends. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 57 years, Maria (Russo). He was a devoted father of Lucia Castle and her husband Blaine of Saugus, John Mellace and his wife Sveta of Peabody, and the late Robert Mellace and his surviving wife Holly. Cherished grandfather of Mariella, Jack, Ella, John, and Brielle. Dear brother of Salvatore Mellace and his wife Michelle of N. Dartmouth, Leo Mellace of Revere, and Anthony Mellace of Chelsea. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Funeral was held from the Paul Buonfi glio & Sons Funeral Home, Revere on Thursday, November 6, followed by a Funeral Mass in St. Anthony of Padua Church.

The amendment would provide that DESE, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Association of School Committees and the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents study and make recommendations about the education workforce in public school districts in the area of reading and literacy development.
