City Council to consider $16.5 million bond
for Wonderland site settlement
Advocate Staff Report
T
he Revere City Council will
hold a public hearing on Oct.
26 on a proposed $16.5 million
bond authorization to fund the
settlement of the city’s eminent
domain taking of the Wonderland
site, where the new Revere
High School is being built.
Earlier this month, the city and
property owner CBW Lending
reached a settlement over
the more than 30-acre site. Revere
took the property through
eminent domain in November
2022 for $29.5 million as part
of plans to construct the new
high school.
The settlement brings the
total cost of the Wonderland
property to $46 million, according
to Revere Finance Director
Richard Viscay. “This will settle
the lawsuit at an overall price
of $46,000,000 for the Wonderland
site,” Viscay wrote in a letter
to the City Council. “This settlement
is very important to the
City, as it removes a large ‘pending
liability’ to the City as it relates
to both our fi nancial advisors
and bond counsel, as well
as allows us to utilize actual
amounts when forecasting the
fi nal cost of the construction of
the new Revere High School.”
Despite the additional cost
associated with the property,
Viscay said the overall project
budget is expected to remain
unchanged. The city currently
has more than $24 million in
potential savings against the
original $493 million construction
budget authorization.
On the advice of bond counsel,
Viscay said, the city is seeking
a separate $16.5 million
bond authorization for “land
acquisition.”
Once the high school project
is completed, the city plans
to rescind an equal amount
from the previously authorized
$493 million bond, Viscay
said. He added that bond
counsel has advised the city
to vote on all bond rescissions
after the project is completed
and the city has received all reimbursements
from the Commonwealth.
Mayor
Patrick Keefe briefly
addressed the council about
the proposed bond authorization
during Monday night’s
meeting. “We are still under
the budget and in really good
fi nancial standing for the project
as a whole, but most importantly,
we are really past this
stage of worrying about a court
judgment that could be really
painful,” Keefe said. “We are
really happy to move on and
to continue building a school
and have it ready for our students
and our families in the
next couple of years.”

developed by Solect Energy
through the PowerOptions
Solar & Storage Program. The
236 kW DC solar array is expected
to generate approximately
294,000 kilowatt-hours
(kWh) of electricity in its fi rst
year, helping Revere reduce
electricity costs while advancing
its sustainability goals.
“Going green and cutting
costs can often go hand in
hand. This project allows us
to take an existing City resource,
the roof of our DPW facility,
and leverage it for greater
fi nancial and environmental
benefi ts. By ensuring that
we are always fi nding ways to
use our existing resources to
their fullest potential, we can
enhance our facilities and further
our goals with the benefi
t of our residents and public
services in mind,” said Mayor
Keefe.
By using on-site solar generation
in place of electricity purchased
from the grid, the City
of Revere is projected to save
nearly $45,000 in the fi rst year
and nearly $1.15 million over
20 years. The project’s economics
were further strengthened
when Solect pursued
an increase in the state’s Solar
Massachusetts Renewable
Target (SMART) incentive and
amended the original Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA),
significantly reducing the
price of solar electricity for the
City. The project also incorporates
the full value of the 30%
federal tax incentive.
In addition, the project is expected
to avoid approximately
282,000 pounds of carbon dioxide
emissions annually, or
about 2,700 tons over the 20year
contract term. Together,
the fi nancial and environmental
benefi ts demonstrate
how municipalities can use
their facilities to support longterm
energy and sustainability
goals. With the DPW rooftop
array complete, Revere is
taking another step toward
lowering municipal energy
costs and expanding the use
of clean, locally generated
electricity.
“Revere’s DPW project is a
great example of how municipalities
can make practical

Revere crossing
guards receive new
three-year contract
Advocate Staff Report
R
evere crossing guards
will receive increased
compensation, expanded
benefits and clarified longevity
language under a
new three-year contract approved
by the City Council
on Monday night. The council
voted to approve the appropriation
needed to fund
the agreement, which covers
the period from July 1, 2026,
through June 30, 2029.
Under the new contract,
crossing guards will receive
four days of sick leave and
seven paid holidays, including
Juneteenth and Columbus
Day. They will also receive
an annual clothing allowance
of $750. Compensation
will increase throughout
the life of the agreement.
By fi scal year 2029, crossing
guards at the highest step
will be eligible for an hourly
rate of $23, while crossing
guard supervisors will be
paid $29 per hour.
Several councillors praised
the agreement and the work
performed by crossing
guards throughout the city.
“It’s due time the crossing
guards in the city get paid
a decent wage; they take
T
care of the children, keeping
them safe, so I think it is
all a plus,” said Councillor-atLarge
Marc Silvestri.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira
Novoselsky said crossing
guards perform their duties
under challenging conditions.
“The way these people
drive around is crazy,” Novoselsky
said. “The [crossing
guards] put their hearts and
souls in their jobs and they
love it; they love the kids and
the kids love them. I think
we ought to recognize them
and give them what they deserve.”
City
Council President Anthony
Zambuto also welcomed
the new agreement,
noting the conditions crossing
guards face while working
outdoors. “These men
and women are outside in
the rain and in the snow in
the winter months,” Zambuto
said. “They develop great
relationships with the kids
and their parents, and even
the faculty.”
The agreement also clarifi
es longevity provisions for
crossing guards, addressing
language within the
contract while establishing
compensation and benefi ts
through fi scal year 2029.

disabling conditions, life can
change dramatically after a
diagnosis. But at the Leonard
Florence Center for Living in
Chelsea, a diagnosis does not
mean giving up the things
that bring joy, adventure, independence,
and connection.
That spirit will be celebrated
at the 18th Annual ALS & MS
Walk for Living, taking place at
10 a.m. on Sunday, October 18,
165 Captains Row on Admiral’s
Hill in Chelsea.
The annual event brings
together residents, families,
friends, caregivers, staff ,
community members, and
supporters for a two-mile,
dog-friendly walk benefiting
the Center’s residents. Remarkably,
many of the residents
who participate do so
in wheelchairs, while others
are dependent on ventilators.
Their presence makes the Walk
for Living much more than
a fundraising event — it is a
powerful celebration of living
life to the fullest.
Embracing Life
As avid ski racers, Martha
Waite and Paul Koch loved skiing
down a snowy mountain.
After they were diagnosed
with ALS—Martha in 2018 at
age 67 and Paul in 2024 at age
63, they assumed their skiing
days were over.
Then they became residents
of the Leonard Florence Center
for Living.
Last winter, Leonard Florence
Center staff made it possible
for Martha and Paul to return
to the slopes for a ski outing
in Waterville Valley, New
Hampshire. It was a trip they
will never forget.
“Participating in activities
I love is something I never
thought possible after my diagnosis,”
said Martha Waite.
“The skiing trip was everything
I had hoped for—fun, exciting
and exhilarating. My brother
and his wife, Karen, came
from Canada to ski with me.
We laughed when we realized
we hadn’t skied together since
high school. I am so proud to
be a resident of the Leonard
Florence Center for Living.”
Paul passed away on June
20, 2026, making the February
ski outing even more meaningful.
The
ski trip is just one example
of the extraordinary experiences
made possible at
the Leonard Florence Center
for Living. Through advanced
technology, a highly skilled
and compassionate staff , and
a robust calendar of activities
and outings, residents living
with ALS, MS, and ventilator
dependence are able to experience
a level of independence
and engagement that
is not possible in a traditional
nursing home.
As the country’s fi rst urban
model Green House® skilled
nursing facility, the Leonard
Florence Center for Living provides
residents with a level of
choice, dignity, and independence
that sets it apart. The
Center cares for more people
living with ALS than any
other facility in the world. In
2020, the Center also opened
the Stein Family Center for
Well-Being, the only Green
House® ventilator program in
the country.

involved in the local community.
Michael’s
father, Richard
Hackel, is a resident of the
Leonard Florence Center for
Living and is living with ALS.
A former attorney, Richard has
not allowed his diagnosis to
defi ne his life.
Richard is an active participant
in life at the Center and
is known for his enthusiasm,
generosity, and willingness to
encourage those around him.
He is often among the fi rst to
sign up for trips and activities
and is always eager to lend a
hand or help another resident.
“We are delighted to honor
the Hackel-Remis family at
this year’s Walk for Living,” said
Barry Berman, CEO of Chelsea
Jewish Lifecare. “Richard is an
inspiration to everyone who
knows him. He embraces every
opportunity to participate,
whether it’s a trip, an activity,
or simply helping another resident.
His determination and
positive spirit embody everything
the Walk for Living represents.”
A
Celebration for the
Entire Community

begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday,
October 18, at 165 Captains
Row on Admiral’s Hill in Chelsea.
Every dollar raised goes
directly toward patient care
and programs for residents living

Local filmmaker’s ‘CALVIN’ brings Chelsea story to the big screen
F
Special to Th e Advocate
or Massachusetts filmmaker
Altavius “Five” Andrews,
“CALVIN” is more than
a short fi lm. It represents eight
months of hard work, personal
sacrifi ce and a belief that independent
fi lmmakers can create
meaningful stories without
a major studio behind
them. Andrews, founder of
YIC Productions and Louisiana
Five Film, originally grew
up in Shreveport, Louisiana,
before moving to Massachusetts
to pursue his passion for
fi lmmaking. His latest project,
“CALVIN,” became a deeply
personal creative journey that
brought together local talent
and locations throughout the
Boston area.
Approximately 90 percent of
“CALVIN” was fi lmed in Chelsea,
Massachusetts, making
the city an important part
of the fi lm’s identity. Rather
than simply using Chelsea as
a backdrop, Andrews wanted
the environment and atmosphere
of the community to
help tell the story.
The film is an emotional
drama centered around family,
violence, loss and the lasting
eff ects of trauma. At the
heart of the story is Calvin,
whose life and circumstances
have a profound impact

on the people around him.
Characters including Mama
Rosa, Maleek and Cathy help
tell a larger story about family,
survival and the emotional
consequences that can follow
tragedy.
Getting the fi lm completed
was not easy. Andrews balanced
production with his responsibilities
as a working father
while investing his own
time and resources in bringing
the project together. From
fi lming and locations to promotional
materials and other
production expenses, much
of the process required him
to make personal sacrifices.
Still, he continued pushing
forward.
That determination reached
a major milestone on August
30, 2026, when “CALVIN” premiered
at the Capitol Theatre
in Arlington, Massachusetts.
The premiere featured
a red-carpet experience, photo
opportunities, a performance
connected to the fi lm’s
soundtrack, a question-andanswer
session with the cast
and crew, and the theatrical
screening of the fi lm. The response
from the community
was signifi cant. The “CALVIN”
premiere sold out twice, giving
Andrews and his team an
opportunity to celebrate the
project with an audience that
had followed its journey.
But Andrews sees the premiere
as the beginning of the
next chapter rather than the
end. He is now working to

bring “CALVIN” to additional
theaters, fi lm festivals and audiences
while seeking opportunities
for media coverage
and community partnerships.
He has already begun sharing
the story behind the fi lm
through interviews, including
an appearance on CCTV with
the Bounce Back Podcast.
The larger goal extends beyond
“CALVIN.” Through YIC
Productions, Andrews hopes
to build a platform that gives
independent artists and fi lmmakers
opportunities to tell
stories, collaborate and create
something lasting. His philosophy
is simple: “We’re not just
premiering a fi lm. We’re building
a platform where storytelling
creates opportunity, starts
conversations, and helps communities
see themselves in a
diff erent light.”
For Andrews, “CALVIN” is
proof that a story can start with
one person, grow through a
community and eventually
make its way to the big screen.

RHS Patriots Sport Roundup: Patriots look to regroup
against Chelsea; volleyball posts winning week
By Dom Nicastro
evere High’s football team
is looking to put a diffi cult
night in Gloucester behind it
and get back to.500 this week
against Chelsea, while the Patriots’
volleyball team put together
a 2-1 week and both crosscountry
teams showed encouraging
progress at Belle Isle.

turns page after
Gloucester loss
Not much went right for Revere
in a 42-6 loss to Gloucester.
The Fishermen took control
almost immediately, capitalizing
on Revere turnovers and
dominant line play to build a
21-0 lead after the fi rst quarter
and a 35-0 advantage by
halftime.
“Total domination and so
many mistakes by us in the fi rst
10 minutes of the game just
knocked us totally out of the
game,” Revere coach Lou Cicatelli
said.
Revere fumbled deep in its
own territory early, and another
turnover on special teams
compounded the problems.
Gloucester repeatedly took
possession with a short fi eld.
“Before you know it, they
get the ball four times inside
that 20-yard line, and they got
four touchdowns,” Cicatelli said.
“You gotta’ stop making mistakes,
especially, you know,
fundamentals, the penalties,
things like that.”
“Their off ensive line, defensive
line, best we’ve seen,” Cicatelli
added.
There was one late bright
spot. Sophomore Ismael Romero-Gonzalez
broke loose for a
95-yard touchdown run with
under two minutes remaining
to prevent the shutout.
“We like this kid,” Cicatelli
said. “He’s a sophomore. He’s a
good player.”
Rather than dwell on the loss,
Cicatelli opted not to review
the game fi lm with his players
and immediately shifted the focus
to Chelsea (at Chelsea, Friday,
Oct. 2, 6 p.m.) and an opportunity
for Revere to improve
to 2-2.
The Patriots remain banged
up. Lots of key players are sidelined.
Revere
should get a boost
from the return of Jose Fuentes,
who is expected to see time
at tailback. Cicatelli also plans
to give Sergio Peguero another
opportunity at quarterback
and lean more heavily on the
running game.
Chelsea presents its own
challenges, particularly with its
team speed and running backs.
“They’re not bad,” Cicatelli
said. “They’ve got a lot of team
speed on defense. They sprint

to the ball. They’ve got a real
good back — actually, two
ample backs. I told the kids,
if they get loose, you’ve got
to make sure we tackle them.”
Volleyball goes 2-1

Revere volleyball improved
to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the

winning two of three matches.

week against Somerville, Everett

Girls’ cross-country
races past Chelsea
Revere’s girls’ cross-country
team earned a 20-43 victory
over Chelsea at Belle Isle, with
several newcomers continuing
to make signifi cant strides.
Senior Emma DeCrosta led
Revere by finishing second
overall in 23:43. Jaelyn Torres
was third in 30:05, followed by
Tram Vu in fourth at 32:30 and
Afomiya Wondemagegnhu in

Coach Katie Sinnott also
saw personal-best race paces
from sophomores Torres, Wondemagegnhu,

Kayla Men placed sixth, Hernandez
seventh and Vu eighth
for the Patriots.

Revere’s boys’ fell to Chelsea,
25-35, but coach Michael Flynn
came away encouraged after
every Patriot improved his time
from the previous week on the
2.89-mile Belle Isle course.
Kosta Stamatopoulos won
the race in 17:14, edging Chelsea’s
Diogo Yogi by one second.

Nicholas Rosa, Noah Shanley

Revere’s fi nishers.
Flynn said he was “very

improvement from his
runners.
Girls soccer
improves to 3-1-1
Revere girls soccer continued
its promising start under
coach Ariana Rivera and enters
its next stretch of games
at 3-1-1.
The Patriots earned a 2-1
victory over Lynn Classical
behind goals from Emily Torres
and Sophia Correa. Torres
scored on a free kick, while
Correa converted in the fi rst
half off an assist from Amilee
Hernandez.
Revere later suff ered its fi rst
loss of the season, 3-0, against
Everett. The Patriots spent
much of the match defending
and struggled to connect
through the midfield and
build their attack.
They bounced back with a
4-2 victory over Lynn Classical
to improve to 3-1-1.
Weather also affected Revere’s
schedule. The Patriots’
game against Brockton
has been moved to Oct. 17
at home, while a postponed
matchup with Whittier Tech
will be rescheduled for a date
to be determined.
