Massone Family Owned & Operated am running for state representative to bring representation to the 19th Suff olk that refl ects the values and priorities of Winthrop and Revere residents. I will bring empathy, integrity and worker-focused policy to the position if elected. My experience as a 12-year paramedic has given me a unique insight into the daily struggles of our community. I work as a paramedic for Mass General Brigham and for Cataldo Ambulance, which provides services to Winthrop and Revere, as well as other communities. Serving Winthrop and Revere, I have come to love the communities and understand the challenges that residents face. First and foremost, having seen up close the terrible consequences of inadequate health care, my primary focus as a legislator will be public health and making the healthcare system more aff ordable and accessible. I will fi ght for women’s reproductive freedom, so that no woman’s health will be endangered by the inability to Suffolk access the care she needs. Gun violence, in addition to destroying families, also increases the burden on our healthcare system. I will support the strongest gun safety laws possible to make our communities safer and our families stronger. I will also fi ght to protect all Massachusetts residents, including the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, from the cruel and immoral assault on their rights by the current federal administration. For too long, there has been a sense in politics that those who represent us—regardless of party—don’t actually understand the issues that we face every day. As a long-time healthcare worker, I have a fi rsthand understanding of the aff ordability crisis that we face here in Massachusetts and across the country. I will work tirelessly to bring down costs for working people and shift the balance of power away from wealthy corporations and individuals to people who earn their living honestly with hard work. Strong public schools are one of the greatest investments we can make in the future of Revere, Winthrop, and the Commonwealth. I will work to ensure that every child has access to a highquality public education, regardless of their zip code or family income, and that every educator receives the respect, resources, and support necessary to help students succeed. I will also fight for more transparency and accountability in the Massachusetts Legislature, the least productive and least transparent legislature in the country. The fi rst order of business is to ensure that the audit of the legislature--which was supported by 72% of Massachusetts voters, but which has been resisted by the current legislators--is carried out and brings the accountability that we all deserve. My opponent in this race opposes women’s reproductive freedom, voted against the comprehensive gun safety law enacted in 2024, and has voted with Republicans for tax policies that favor the wealthy over working people. He has admitted having voted for Donald Trump and has donated to Republicans yet runs as a Democrat. He has used Trump-like rhetoric to describe politicians he does not like and voted with Republicans for measures that peddle the myth of voter fraud. He has voted against complying with the audit of the legislature. To bring back decency, empathy and transparency to our politics, please vote for me in the Democratic primary on September 1, 2026. Early voting runs August 22-28. ׉ Ú0s3://G-cm0LF_wVkS5bhuUc6JKqigi85JTh46hu5-TPxp0fMÍ:)Í`ÌÔÍ×jj®¼9èH•(7׉EÚTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026 Page 3 BALLOT | FROM Page 1 for the state primary election, with several contested races appearing on the Democratic and Republican ballots.

Chosen through a competitive review process that drew a record 959 applicants, the Revere-based organization will receive $60,000 over three years. WEE is dedicated to supporting immigrant and refugee women and their families as they pursue economic stability, leadership opportunities and meaningful participation in their communities. WEE off ers programming in education and job readiness, community building and economic support, including English language classes, computer training, medical debt assistance, community Zumba classes and the Women’s Circle. Through a weekly Resource Hub and a pop-up Free Store, WEE connects community members with basic needs and multiple resources. “WEE has instituted new programs including the Repair to Rewear pilot program in sewing instruction. This grant will help us to respond to the needs and interests of our community and keep serving immigrant women in meaningful ways,†says WEE Board President and Founder Fatou Drammeh. “WEE is deeply grateful to the Cummings Foundation. This funding will allow us to dream big, knowing that we have reliable funding to support our goals through the coming years,†says Interim Executive Director Jessica Wilson. This year the Woburn-based Cummings Foundation increased its annual grant program from $30 million to $35 million and shifted to fully unrestricted funding, allowing recipients to direct grant dollars where they are needed most. Foundation executive director and trustee Joyce Vyriotes noted that the changes reflect growing concerns among Greater Boston nonprofi ts about rising costs, increased demand for services and sustained uncertainty around public funding. “Nonprofi t professionals are closest to the challenges facing their communities, making them best positioned to determine where and how new funds will drive the greatest impact,†said Vyriotes. “By proWEE | SEE Page 19 WEE volunteers lead children’s crafts and activities for community members at the Beach Moves and Grooves event, which was held in August 2026.

Guarino-Sawaya said O’Hara entered public offi ce at a time when relatively few women held elected positions. “She not only broke a barrier but also helped establish the presence of women in local government in Revere,†Guarino-Sawaya said. Curcio continued that progress, becoming the fi rst woman elected to represent Ward 3. Guarino-Sawaya said Curcio was a strong advocate for her neighborhood and worked to ensure Ward 3 residents had a voice in city government. “Her election demonstrated that women not only belonged at this table, but could also eff ectively represent and lead their communities,†she said. Penn also made history, becoming the fi rst woman elected to represent Ward 2 and later the fi rst woman elected president of the Revere City Council. “In that leadership role, she helped guide the work of the council and set an example of what women could achieve in positions of authority within city government,†Guarino-Sawaya said. For Guarino-Sawaya, however, the unveiling represented more than the addition of three portraits to the council chamber walls. “For many years, when we looked around these council chambers, we saw the faces of men who helped shape Revere’s history,†she said. “But Margaret, Elvira and Katherine were part of that history, too.†“They served in these chambers, represented the people of Revere and helped shape the city,†she added. “They deserve to be represented here alongside the men who served with them.†Guarino-Sawaya also connected the ceremony to the women currently serving in Revere government, includKerosene Now Available! City Council Vice-President Angela Guarino-Sawaya, who led the effort to recognize the three women, described the ceremony as a “truly special and historic moment†for the City Council. “As we unveil these portraits, we honor three remarkable women — Margaret O’Hara, Elvira Curcio and Katherine Penn — women who broke barriers and helped pave the way for every woman who would follow them into these chambers,†Guarino-Sawaya said.

Guarino-Sawaya closed the ceremony by saying the portraits would serve as a reminder of the progress Revere has made and the women who helped make that progress possible. “It is a tremendous honor to see Margaret O’Hara, Elvira Curcio and Katherine Penn’s rightful place on the walls of the Revere City Council Chambers,†she said. “May their portraits remind us of how far we have come, honor the women who helped to get us here and inspire the generations of women who will come after us.†Members of the Revere City Council are pictured with family members of the three honorees — Margaret O’Hara, Elvira Curcio and Katherine Penn — whose portraits are now displayed in honor of their service to the City of Revere as city councillors. ׉ Ú0s3://VLFe2sVkxhQc5l6JADE8C27uQKrxVeMCV3pNGqNy0VAÍ3[Í`ÌÔÍ×jj®¼9èH•(<×jj®¼9èH•(;Í ªÍrבC’טšÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú0s3://OGRECKoLDrvNdJ2Z2-itvUn3H-5BBXMzqOsugIHWz64ÎuÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú0s3://-DB9J7I264eKn67tFn6DQrqGvlPpBCRj3yylUdvwO_Q͘`Í`ÍÍà׉ Ú0s3://HOLeUgRGweb75BAl_vYvtg8DO8t6y11YEEwz8k-9NXIÍ4Í`ÌÔÍ×jj°¼9èH•(fטšÍUÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú0s3://eiT9vGn66QRDP2FJrsG1Xmukah2ADSwjMZou279U03IÎÍXÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú0s3://SiLh6BVIiJsdGYyF3KCOW6gl98D1EZe7A9T578uMxucÍŸ]Í`ÍÍà׉ Ú0s3://TPY944PFFfATJB7SX5XCdbVrcG9hyOYiLAHtHQBmcD8Í63Í`ÌÔÍ×jj°¼9èH•(g׉EÚÜPage 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026 m 2026-2027 Ward 5 Councillor Council Vice-President Angela Guarino-Sawaya Have a Safe & Happy School Year!

The orientation, which was facilitated by RPS educators Matt Costa, Christina Porter, Nancy Martel, Ann McLaughlin, Rick Norris, Michelle Vail and Jill Foley, provided new teachers with an opportunity to become familiar with the district before students return for the fi rst day of school on Aug. 25. Throughout the week, the new educators were taking part in professional development and training while learning about district resources, expectations, programs and the diverse community that makes up Revere Public Schools. The week kicked off last Monday with a welcome from Assistant Superintendents Ann McLaughlin is shown addressing the teachers. Dr. Richard Gallucci addresses the teachers. Dr. Richard Gallucci, Dr. Danielle Mokaba-Bernardo and Dr. Lourenço Garcia. Each spoke about the excitement surrounding the arrival of a new group of educators and the important role they will play in the lives of Revere students and families. The assistant superintendents encouraged the new teachers to view their arrival not simply as the beginning of a new job but as the start of a journey within RPS. They spoke about the collaborative culture of the district and the opportunity educators have to grow professionally while building meaningful relationships with students, colleagues and families. Gallucci also highlighted the supports available to educators throughout the district, emphasizing that new teachers are not expected to navigate their fi rst year in Revere alone. From school-based colleagues and administrators to mentoring, professional development and district-level resources, RPS has developed a network of supports designed to help educators grow, succeed and thrive. That support begins during orientation. In addition to training and professional development, the week allows new teachers to learn more about Revere itself — an important part of understanding the students and families they will serve. The district’s mentoring program will continue that work throughout the school year, connecting new educators with experienced colleagues who can provide guidance and support as they settle into their classrooms.

Those relationships can become an important support network as teachers move through their fi rst year in the district. With the opening of school, the new teachers transitioned from orientation and preparation to their individual schools and classrooms, where they are meeting colleagues, students and families. RPS continues to recruit candidates for several remaining vacancies, with many of the openings concentrated in special education and English as a second language positions. Qualifi ed educators interested in joining RPS can view current openings and apply through the employment portal.

Students receive classroom training in all basic fi refi ghter skills. They practice fi rst under non-fi re conditions and then during controlled fi re conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate profi ciency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fi re attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fi res to multiple-fl oor or multipleroom structural fires.

Today’s fi refi ghters do much more than fi ght fi res: They train for and respond to all types of hazards and emergencies. They are the fi rst ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to gas leaks to industrial chemical spills. They may be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice, an offi ce worker stuck in an elevator, or a motorist trapped in a crashed vehicle. They test and maintain their equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), hydrants, hoses, power tools, and apparatus. At the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, recruits learn all these skills and more, including the latest science of fi re behavior and suppression tactics, from certifi ed fi re instructors. They also receive training in public fi re education, hazardous material incident mitigation, fl ammable liquids, stress management, and self-rescue techniques. The MFA provides recruit and in-service training for career, call, and volunteer fi refi ghters at every level of experience, from recruit to chief offi cer, at campuses in Stow, Springfi eld, and Bridgewater.

The council also unanimously approved a new Revere Police Department gift account to support a community outreach vehicle known as the “Care Wagon,†and councillors considered several development, zoning and construction-related proposals. One of the evening’s major discussions centered on a proposed ordinance that would amend the city’s street-closure notification requirements and add the Police Department and City Council to the agencies notifi ed when streets are closed. Councillors Anthony Cogliandro and Joanne McKenna introduced the measure, saying the current process does not provide councillors or residents with enough timely information about road disruptions. Cogliandro said the existing ordinance primarily requires street closures to be reported to the Fire Department, leaving other city offi cials without adequate notice. “We’ve had quite a few road closures this year that we have not known about,†Cogliandro said, adding that the additional notifi cation could be as simple as an email. McKenna pointed to a recent closure on Crescent Avenue as an example of the problems that can arise when residents and officials are not informed in advance. Traffic was diverted toward an area near Beachmont School, where drivers encountered a traffi c signal that remained red while they waited to turn toward Boston. Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya, who said she had previously proposed a similar notification requirement, supported a 24-hour-advance-notice standard. She said residents should not have to discover a closure only when leaving for work or returning home. “Construction and utility work is necessary. I understand that,†Guarino-Sawaya said. “When the work is planned, communication should be part sized the impact on seniors and residents with disabilities who rely on home health care, deliveries and other services. Knowing about a closure ahead of time, she said, would give residents more opportunity to make alternate arrangements. Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio offered some of the strongest criticism of the current situation, saying he had not seen so many street closures during his 30 years in the city. “You’re going down Broadway and then Broadway stops,†Argenzio said. “You’re going down River Street and Revere Street stops. … It’s out of control.†“I think this is one of the best motions I’ve seen. I’m a thousand percent in favor of this thing,†Argenzio added, calling for better coordination and criticizing lastminute detour signs. The proposed ordinance was sent to a public hearing scheduled for Sept. 28. The council also unanimously approved the creation of a Revere Police Department gift account to support a new community service vehicle being developed by the department. Captain Malone told councillors that the department recently purchased an electric Chevy BrightDrop that will serve as a yearround community outreach vehicle. “We’re kind of calling it an ice cream truck on steroids,†Malone said, explaining that unlike older community-service vehicles used primarily for ice cream events, Revere’s vehicle is being designed for year-round use. The vehicle, dubbed the “Care Wagon,†is intended to bring officers into neighborhoods for activities including ice cream events, Coff ee with a Cop, clothing and toy drives, homeless outreach and behavioral health initiatives. Malone said the vehicle will also be used at community events throughout the city, creating more opportunities for offi cers to interact with residents outside of traditional police calls. The department hopes to place a QR code on the vehicle so residents and businesses can make donations, with the money going back toward the vehicle and the community services it provides. Councillors expressed strong support for the initiative. Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri said he had seen fi rsthand how an ice cream truck in Chelsea helped police offi cers build relationships with neighborhood children. The council also considered several development and zoning matters. Martin Carbo sought a special permit to add two residential floors containing four units above an existing commercial building at 191 River St. The proposal drew concerns from abutter Lewis Mario, who raised questions about an existing clay sewer line, drainage, trash storage and trees along the property. Councillors said those concerns could be addressed during subcommittee and site plan review. They also discussed documenting the condition of the sewer line before and after construction to help protect both the property owner and abutters. Dominic Lasala appeared before the council seeking permission to add a 20-by-30-foot second fl oor to his home at 269 River St. Lasala said he has lived in Revere his entire life and wants additional space to make the home more comfortable and accommodate his grandchildren. The proposal received support from councillors, and no opposition was voiced during the hearing. Councillors also advanced an ordinance concerning body art establishments to a Sept. 28 public hearing after removing a provision that would have prohibited such establishments within 500 feet of schools, playgrounds, parks, conservation areas, houses of worship and residences. Another proposal would require qualifying construction and demolition projects to display clearly visible signs containing information, such as the permit number, property address, contractor or developer, permitted construction hours and contact information. The measure was brought forward after a resident raised concerns that existing construction signage does not always provide neighbors with enough information about projects taking place in their community. The council also approved a $127,253.15 appropriation from the cable access receipt reserve fund to pay RevereTV’s quarterly invoice.

Answers With Social Security Uncertainty, Should You Claim Benefits Early? Dear Savvy Senior, I turn 62 early next year and plan to retire soon after. Most advice says I should wait to claim Social Security because my monthly benefi t will be higher. But with all the recent news about Social Security’s fi nancial problems, I’m wondering if taking benefi ts early might be the safer choice. Is there ever a good reason to claim at 62? --Ready to Retire Dear Ready, You’re defi nitely not alone in asking this. The latest Social Security Trustees Report projects the retirement trust fund could be depleted around 2032 if Congress doesn’t act. If that happens, Social Security would still collect payroll taxes and pay benefi ts, but retirees could face an across-the-board cut of about 22 percent. Before you rush to fi le, keep things in perspective. Most experts still expect Congress to step in, as it has before, to strengthen Social Security. And even if lawmakers don’t act, waiting would still produce a higher monthly benefit because any across-theboard benefi t cut would apply to everyone. While claiming at 62 means collecting benefi ts sooner, it also permanently locks in a smaller check. That said, there are several situations where claiming Social Security at 62 can make good fi nancial sense. How claiming age affect your benefits You can start Social Security at 62, but doing so permanently reduces your monthly benefi t by about 30 percent compared with waiting until full retirement age (67 for those born in 1960 or later). Delaying until 70 increases your benefi t by about 24 percent. For example, a $2,000 monthly benefi t at full retirement age would drop to about $1,400 at 62, or rise to roughly $2,480 if you wait until 70. When claiming early makes sense For some retirees, claiming at 62 is a practical move. If you’ve stopped working and need income for basic expenses, Social Security can provide a steady check right away. It can also serve as a bridge if you retire early or lose a job in your early 60s while delaying withdrawals from retirement accounts or a pension. Some retirees also claim Social Security early to reduce withdrawals from their IRA or 401(k) during market downturns. The tradeoff is a permanently reduced lifetime benefi t. For married couples, timing can be coordinated as part of a broader strategy. One spouse may claim early to bring in income while the other delays to boost their future or survivor benefi t. Health is another big factor. Delaying only pays off if you live long enough to collect those higher monthly checks. The break-even point between claiming at 62 and full retirement age is around age 78 or 79. If you’re still working, be careful here too. Before full retirement age, earnings above Social Security’s annual limit can temporarily reduce your benefi t, and claiming early locks in that lower amount for life. Why delaying helps For many retirees, waiting means a larger guaranteed monthly benefi t for life and often a higher lifetime payout if you live into your late 70s or beyond. It can also provide stronger protection against outliving savings. For couples, delaying the higher earner’s benefi t can increase the survivor benefit, which may help provide more fi nancial security for a surviving spouse. Before deciding, it’s smart to review your numbers. You can create a free account at SSA. gov/myaccount to check your earnings record and estimate benefi ts at diff erent ages. Tools like OpenSocialSecurity.com or MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com (a paid tool with a $49 fee) can also help you compare claiming strategies. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. For most people, waiting still makes the most sense. But if you need income, have health concerns or are coordinating benefi ts with a spouse, claiming at 62 may be the better choice. The key is to base your decision on your own circumstances — not fear about Social Security’s future. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O.

The Revere Police Department also supported the event as part of its ongoing community outreach and commitment to helping Revere students and families. Members of the School Committee, the Mayor’s Offi ce, and RPS staff and volunteers pitched in throughout the afternoon to help organize and distribute the supplies. For many families, the annual giveaway provides more than just a new backpack. As the cost of school supplies accumulates rapidly, the event ensures that students can enter their classrooms on the fi rst day of school fully prepared and eager to learn. RPS officials thanked Cradles to Crayons for its generous donation and recognized the many community partners and volunteers who helped make the event possible. The collaboration among Cradles to Crayons, RPS, the Revere Police Department, the School Committee, the Mayor’s Offi ce and school volunteers refl ected the community-wide eff ort to support Revere students and give them a strong start to the 2026-27 school year. The backpack giveaway was one of several eff orts taking place across RPS in the weeks leading up to the opening of school as teachers, administrators and staff prepare to welcome students back for another year of learning.
