ayor Brian Arrigo announced that the City of Revere was awarded a $40,000 grant by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to implement a “Recycling IQ” kit that will bolster the city’s ongoing efforts to encourage residents to recycle discarded materials properly.

“Our primary objective is to help people understand what is, and what is not, a recyclable material,” said Mayor Arrigo. “Many people just assume that all plastic and plastic bags, or unclean glass or metal, are recyclable. That is not true, and the more we can reduce the amount of contamination in our residential recycling stream, the more efficient our recycling program will become.”

The grant helps fund the city’s use of MassDEP’s tools and resources to reach out to residents through direct mail and advertising. This will include media publicity, billboards, mailings and social networking. “It is critical that

(Pol. Adv. Paid for by Committee to Re-Elect Mayor Brian Arrigo)

617-387-7466

the residents of the City know about our available recycling and trash collection programs, and our intention to vigorously enforce our rules as we improve our collection and inspection procedures,” said Mayor Arrigo.

In the coming weeks, the MassDEP grant will fund advertising and help the City of Revere employ teams of inspectors who will monitor residential trash and disposal habits with curbside inspections.

“In the early stages, residents will be cautioned with information about prohibited materials that were found in their recycling. Often, it’s not that people are trying to disregard regulations; it’s that they just are not aware of them.” Disregard for the warnings will result in recycling going uncollected and, eventually, fines issued through the Department of Inspectional Services.

Disregarding proper recycling methods is costly. “When our recycling is contaminated, we pay thousands of dollars in additional fees for the disposal,” said Mayor Arrigo.

“Through this MassDEP grant, Revere will join many surrounding communities in taking progressive steps toward proper recycling.”

Revere has been in the forefront of recycling efforts for years, being among the first communities to issue recycling bins citywide. But the rules governing recycling have changed over the years. As the rules have changed, the likelihood that residents are im-

properly filling their recycling bins has increased dramatically. “Many of our residents are conscientious about using their recycling bins, but they need to be reeducated on correct use of them,” Mayor Arrigo said.

He cited the City of Revere’s new Trash App as one major step in educating the public about trash and recycling. “It’s a pretty innovative and convenient way for people to have information about trash removal, recycling, street sweeping – and right at their fingertips,” Arrigo said. “It’s a free app through Google Play or the App Store and is usable on all devices.”

Revere also began a Textile Recycling program on March 1 in conjunction with SimpleRecycling.com. Two pink recycling bags were delivered to every residential address in the city, and residents can fill them with unwanted clothing, jewelry, toys, blankets, drapes, pillows and assorted small household items for separate pickup on the regular recycling day.

“Trash disposal is a major environmental threat in every community in the country, and every community faces enormous expense in dealing with it,” said Mayor Arrigo. “Recycling is the best way to reduce what goes into the trash stream. When people properly recycle, it is good for the environment, and good for the community’s financial commitment to trash disposal and recycling.”

YMCA Youth & Government Conference

R

obert Graf of Revere, a senior at Boston College High School, was one of the 25 BC High students who participated at the annual YMCA Youth & Government Conference from March 20 to 22 at the Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill.

The young men were delighted that they were able to meet BC High graduate (2013) 4th Plymouth Representative Patrick Kearney of Scituate.

The BC High students were singled out for leadership roles at the conference: Matt Brandi of Quincy served as Governor, Ryan Golemme of Norwell as Lt. Governor and Colman Gillis of Quincy as Head Lobbyist.

Golemme will be representing the state at the Conference on National Affairs in July, and Kenny Dao (2020) of Randolph won two awards: Outstanding Justice and Outstanding Officer.

The Youth in Government Club, which is moderated by faculty member Elise Wilson, is part of a Greater Boston YMCA program which allows high school students to learn about state government and partici-

pate in the process of the State House with other students from throughout Massachusetts. Students take on various roles in the state government, including in the legislative, executive and judicial branches as well as lobbyists and the press corps.

Youth and Government is one of the YMCA’s oldest programs – established in 1936.

The program teaches young people about state government while at the same time

it helps them to develop their own character through learning values stressed by the YMCA: caring, respect, honesty and responsibility.

Boston College High School is a Jesuit, Catholic, collegepreparatory school for young men in grades 7 to 12. Founded in 1863, the school enrolls approximately 1,600 students from more than 140 communities in eastern Massachusetts.

Moose Club celebrates grand reopening

By Tara Vocino

A

pproximately 125 members of the Moose Club Revere 1272 danced the night away on Saturday to celebrate the club’s grand reopening.

They also raised $2,000 to help reopen the club following the brief closure.

According to Moose Club Junior President John Goodwin, the club’s three-week closure was caused by theft, bills not being paid and club mismanagement. “If this went on any longer we were in danger of selling the building,” Goodwin said. “We installed new officers and talked to the License

Commission.”

The club is currently accepting new members and monthly meetings are held on Monday nights, according to Goodwin.

“Tonight was a total success,” Goodwin said.

Decades of Rock provided live classic rock entertainment.

The club donates money, wheelchairs and other medical items to children around the country, according to Goodwin.

council raised money for an extended school year for special education children.

SEPAC President Jennifer Duggan’s six-year-old son, Jaxson, a student at the Beachmont School, has high-functioning autism. She said that as a parent of an autistic child, she’ll never give up trying to help other autistic children be as happy as they can be.

“Autism Awareness Month is to educate those in our community about what autism is and how we can best support through programs, services or

just through simple acts of human kindness,” Duggan said.

“The more we can teach others about autism, the more understanding we can, hopefully, bring about with the ultimate goal of acceptance and appreciation of differences in others.”

SEPAC Secretary Michelle DeBellis said her nine-year-old son, Frank, attends Melmark New England in North Andover, a private school designed for children with autism. DeBellis said her son is in the middle of the spectrum, but he’s

“We want the entire community’s input on these topics that are so important to the future of the city of Revere,” said Mayor Arrigo. “This master planning process gives us the opportunity to define what our city will look like for future generations. Our kickoff event showed us that so many community members are deeply invested in the success of our city, and I’m looking forward to continuing that conversation next week.”

Next Stop Revere is the city’s first comprehensive master plan in more than four decades. The City of Revere has teamed with the Metropolitan

Area Planning Council (MAPC) for a six-month-long community engagement process to inform policy, which will incorporate the community’s vision for maintaining and improving quality of life, and will span topics like housing, economic development, natural resources and open space, as well as transportation, climate resiliency, land use and zoning. The plan will identify a set of actions for the city government to take over the next 1020 years: http://www.revere.org/ departments/economic-development/next-stop-revere.html.

Following the two community forums this spring, MAPC will continue to solicit and incorporate community feedback through the summer and fall of 2019, with a final plan scheduled to be presented to Revere’s Planning Board in early 2020.

ayor Brian Arrigo and Chief of Police James Guido announced that the Revere Police Department was recently awarded a grant by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, Office of Grants and Research – Highway Safety Division to improve traffic safety on local roads for pedestrians and bicyclists. In total, nearly $700,000 was awarded to 93 police departments across the Commonwealth, with funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

With close to 6,000 pedes-

trians killed in 2016 across the country, pedestrians now account for a larger proportion (16 percent) of traffic fatalities than they have in the past 33 years. In Massachusetts that rate is even higher, with pedestrians representing more than 20 percent of all traffic fatalities. According to NHTSA, bicyclists are dying at higher rates nationally as well – the 840 killed in traffic crashes in 2016 is an increase from the 829 killed in 2015.

“Bicyclists and pedestrians are at risk from the motoring public because they may not be immediately visible to driv-

ers, and unlike those in vehicles, nothing protects them in a crash,” said Guido. “We’ll analyze crash data to identify crosswalks, intersections and roadways where our enforcement efforts can yield the largest impact on pedestrian and bicyclist safety.”

Under the grant, departments will pay for overtime enforcement to increase compliance with traffic laws by all road users. Departments are also eligible to purchase educational materials, bicycle helmets, and safety items to help enhance pedestrian and bicyclist visibility at night.

City Councillor announces Community Meeting on April 6

ouncillor Patrick Keefe is pleased to announce continued ward 4 Community Meetings. Our committee is focused on continuing to bring city hall to the residents and have their concerns heard.

As always, direct communication and collaboration

works best. I think the ability to meet with residents face to face will not only give them the opportunity to be heard but also bring the community even closer together and give everyone a form of inclusion.

Patriots begin season Saturday at East Boston Second-year Revere baseball coach has his program heading in the right direction

By Joe Mitchell

M

ike Manning is beginning his second year as the Revere High School baseball coach, and he likes what he has been seeing thus far.

“Last year was my first year, and I definitely think the program took some positive strides,” Manning said. “We fell short of making the postseason, but our seven wins in 2018 was more than the previous three years combined, and were the most by a Revere baseball team in a very long time.

“We did it with a relatively young team. We had six or seven players in our starting lineup each day that were either sophomores or freshmen. We are still working on building a culture that is conducive to winning, like doing all the small things on and mostly off the field that all add up and translate into winning ballgames, so we can build off of last year.”

The Patriots graduated just three, but they also lost their starting catcher to St. Mary’s of

Lynn. However, they are still returning 11 varsity players who all received significant playing time last year. The program is also fielding a JV team to keep the future looking bright. Senior Matt Cravotta and junior EJ Leone are the team’s captains this year.

This is the last season that the baseball Pats will be playing in the Northeastern Conference (NEC), as they, along with Everett, Medford, Malden and Somerville, have committed together to reestablish the Great-

er Boston League (GBL) in the fall. Manning has a mixed reaction to the move.

“I have enjoyed playing in the NEC, because there are a lot of strong teams here, and I think it is an underrated conference by many in the high school baseball community. But at the same time, we are looking forward to rejoining the GBL version 2.0,” he said. “I think we are probably more similar to the four other GBL teams in terms of program size, student demographics and resources than

many of the NEC schools, so I think it’s a good fit.”

Revere’s strengths this year lie on offense and its speed, according to the coach. “We are looking to be more of a contact team this year,” said Manning. “If our pitchers can throw strikes and make guys earn their way on by limiting walks and errors, we will compete in all our games. Our defense was the Achilles’ heel at times for us last year, so hopefully, we can turn the corner there, as well.”

Leone will lead a bunch of talented starting pitchers on the Revere staff throughout the next three months that also includes seniors Frank Sims and Dayven Diaz. Senior Matt Cravotta is designated as the team’s closer. Junior Kevin DePaula, sophomore Kasey Cummings and junior Jonathon Murphy should also get some innings on the mound.

Senior Johnny Leone will transition from the outfield to catcher this year. Junior David Guillama, Murphy, DePaula and Cummings will provide

the team with much experience in the infield. E.J. Leone, junior Zach Furlong, senior Brandon Sarmanian and Cravotta will be the regular outfielders. Newcomers junior Josh Laurina, senior Frankie Rodriguez and senior Alan Giron will all provide needed depth to the roster.

Manning assessed the competition in the NEC South Division, the teams that Revere must beat to challenge for the title. “Salem is returning a lot of good players, and both Lynn schools are always tough,” he said. “Medford is a well-coached team. Malden, Somerville and Everett are scrappy clubs [that never give up].”

Manning’s Patriots will begin the regular season Saturday, April 6 against non-league host East Boston, starting at 11 a.m. They will then be at Greater Lawrence on Thursday, April 11, at 4:30 p.m., before heading to Everett to face the Crimson Tide on Monday, April 15, at 10 a.m.

They will finally play the home opener on Wednesday, April 17 against Salem, also at 10 a.m.

Pats softball begins on the road Tuesday with the home opener slated for Patriots’ Day Looks to maintain streak of winning seasons, state tournament appearances

By Joe Mitchell

T

he Revere High School girls’ softball team under the direction of Joe Ciccarello had a solid season last spring, ending up with a 14-8 overall record after losing in the second round of the state tournament. Their winning record was far from unusual for this program with Ciccarello at the helm. They

have had a habit of being on the plus side most seasons.

“We have made it that far [second round] for seven out of the last nine years that I have been the coach,” Ciccarello said.

“We lost last year to a very good Methuen team in the bottom of the seventh inning. We had a young team with four freshmen and one sophomore in the starting lineup, but they cer-

tainly got a lot of varsity experience right away.”

Butch Bruno, Marissa Gambale and Phil Goldstich are Ciccarello’s varsity assistants. Lauren Hayes, Cassandra DiBella and Noel MacDonald comprise the JV staff, and Brian McKenna is in charge of the freshman club.

There are a total of four players that have graduated. “They

provided great leadership and character to our team last year,” said Ciccarello, “and replacing all-star third baseman Vicoria Correia will be very difficult.”

Olivia McManus, Joli Giuliano and Danielle Dion will attempt to follow in their footsteps, as this year’s senior representatives.

Since this is the last school year that Revere will be in the Northeastern Conference (NEC) after officially announcing last month that it will join Everett, Somerville, Medford and Malden in the new Greater Boston League (GBL) in the fall, Ciccarello gave his thoughts on the move. “I have great respect for our NEC rivals, and would like to continue our relationship,” he said. “Revere also has great history with the GBL programs.

I do not have a preference either way. I just enjoy the competition each season, while also remaining committed to winning a league title.”

But back to this spring – Ciccarello envisions a team that will dominate on the mound.

“We have two good pitchers that will share the workload in Olivia McManus and Adrianna Fusco. Both have differ-

ent styles, and bring different things to the mound,” the coach said.

“Our defense should be scrappy and work hard. The offense will get better as the season progresses. We don’t have many power hitters, but we have been called scrappy at the plate and on the bases.

Still relatively young, we have some experience behind us, and, hopefully, that turns into some big wins.”

At the time of this interview, Ciccarello was still undecided about any set starting lineup, preferring to see what his players are capable of doing in scrimmages this week.

Medford, Lynn Classical, Everett and Salem with its good pitcher will challenge for the conference title, according to Ciccarello. But his Revere kids will still be in the mix piling up the wins to get to the postseason, once again.

The Pats will begin the regular season Tuesday, April 9 against host Chelmsford, starting at 4:30 p.m. They will then return to Revere for the home opener against Everett at St. Mary’s Park on Monday, April 15, beginning at 10 a.m.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local legislators’ votes on roll calls from the week March 25-29. $8 MILLION FOR FAMILY PLANNING PROVIDERS (H3638) House 140-14, Senate 335, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill to provide up to $8 million for family planning providers. The Trump administration recently announced it would no longer direct federal funds which support family planning services for low-income residents, toward any clinic that provides, refers or offers counseling on abortions. The $8 million would

“Once again, where Washington falls short, we in the commonwealth are ready and willing to step up and fill the needed gap,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston).

“We cannot allow people’s health care to be put at risk because of the narrow-minded politics of the Trump administration. Today, we are taking the first step to put a stop to this.”

Michlewitz noted that an estimated 75,000 Massachusetts residents, most of whom earn less than $30,000 a year, would be impacted by the cut in federal funding.

BAN CONVERSION THERAPY FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 (S 2187) Senate 34-0, approved a bill that would prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists and other health care providers from attempting to change the sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of anyone under 18. Conversion therapy exposes the person to a stimulus while simultaneously subjecting him or her to some form of discomfort. The therapy is primarily used to try to convert gays and lesbians to be straight. The House has approved its own version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

Both branches approved a similar bill last year but it never made it to Gov. Baker’s desk.

“If a conversion therapy bill gets to my desk and we don’t see any other issues with it, it’s something we’d be inclined to support,” Baker said recently.

Mental health experts and LGBTQ groups charge that the practice is scientifically unproven and unsound and can trigger depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in these youngsters subjected to it.

“We have a responsibility

to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all young people,”said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), the Senate sponsor of the bill. “Seeking to force a child to change one’s identity or orientation at such a vulnerable point in their young lives inflicts significant harm and is no less than child abuse.”

Shortly after the vote, the Human Rights Campaign tweeted, “Victory: the Massachusetts Senate just voted to protect #LGBTQ youth from the dangerous and debunked practice of so-called ‘conversion therapy.’”

“This [is] an appalling assault on parental rights in the commonwealth,” said the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute Andrew Beckwith who opposes the ban. “[Some] legislators apparently believe that parents should not be able to get gender-confused children

Page 17 any treatment, even counseling, that might help them avoid cross-sex hormone injections, sterility or ‘transition’ surgery.”

Five senators voted “present” rather than for or against the bill. “We want to be clear that we do not support conversion therapy or any other type of coercive therapy that purports to change a person’s sexuality or gender identity,” said Sen. Vinny deMacedo (RPlymouth). “If there were evidence of these practices taking place in Massachusetts, we would wholeheartedly support banning them. However, we have serious concerns about the way this legislation infringes on the constitutional rights of licensed professionals to provide mental health counseling and talk therapy using the knowledge, judgment and expertise that they have acquired

CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THERAPY BAN (S 2187) Senate 6-32, rejected a proposal asking the Supreme Judicial Court to advise the Senate on whether the therapy ban is constitutional. The court would be asked if the bill violates the provisions of the First Amend-

ment to the U.S. Constitution by violating the right of free speech of professional counselors; the constitutional rights of parents; or the constitutional or statutory rights of privacy or patient confidentiality.

Supporters of asking the court about the constitutionality of the therapy ban said they support the conversion therapy ban but are concerned that the ban is likely to be challenged. They believe the Senate should get an opinion before the challenge in order to ensure the bill doesn’t get delayed.

“We are confident that the pending bill is constitutional,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (DSalem) who opposed getting the court’s opinion. “It relies on well-established authority of the state to regulate professional conduct.”

REMOVE CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (S 2186) Senate 37-1, approved a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 per month in welfare benefits to children conceived while— or soon after—the family began receiving welfare benefits or, if they had received family welfare benefits in the past.

The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. The House has approved its own version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

Supporters of the repeal said that there are some 8,700 children who currently fall under the cap in the Bay State. These families are barred from receiving an additional $100 a month to help support that child. They said there are no facts to back up the charge that families are having more children in order to get the additional $100.

“I have heard countless personal accounts from many families who are hurt by this cap on kids,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (DEverett), the Senate sponsor of the proposal. “Because their benefits are so low, parents with ‘capped’ children struggle to meet their families’ basic needs. For instance, they often can’t pay for enough diapers to keep their child clean, dry and healthy. And they are forced to make painful choices about which necessities they can afford. We know that it’s time to take action to repeal this outdated, ineffective and unjust policy, and show that we value all children equally, regardless of the circumstances of their birth.”

“I think it’s unfair to ask the constituents back home to pay for a benefit for others that they don’t get themselves,” said Sen. Don Humason (RWestfield), the only opponent of the bill.

He said the Legislature should have a big heart and take care of people but noted he also needs to listen to his constituents who tell him they are having a difficult time making ends meet and are limiting the number of children they have. He said his constituents tell him they are not eligible for any welfare benefits but are forced to pay these benefits for others who decide to have more children.

How SSI Can Help Low-Income Seniors and the Disabled

Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the Supplemental Security Income program and what are the eligibility requirements? My father is very low-income, so I’m wondering if this is something he may qualify for.

Searching Daughter Dear Searching, Supplemental Security Income (or SSI) is a program administered by the Social Security Administration that provides monthly cash benefits to people that are disabled or over 65 based on financial need. Currently, more than 8 million people are receiving SSI benefits. Here’s what you should know.

Eligibility Requirements To qualify for SSI your dad must be either age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and must be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident.

He must also have limited assets and income.

His assets must be less than $2,000 or $3,000 for couples.

This includes cash, bank accounts, other personal property, and anything else that could potentially be converted to cash.

His home, household goods and one vehicle, along with life insurance policies and burial funds valued under $1,500; do not count towards countable assets.

The income limit to qualify for SSI, however, is much more complicated. Countable income includes wages or any other kind of money your dad earned from working, plus money he gets from other sources like unemployment, Social Security retirement, or gifts from friends, but also, free food or shelter.

In 2019, the SSI allowable income limit is $771 a month for an individual or $1,157 a month for a couple. So, if your dad’s countable income is over the SSI allowable limit (this is based on a complex set of rules and calculations – see SSA.gov/ssi/ text-income-ussi.htm) he would not qualify. But if he’s under it, he would qualify for some benefits depending on his countable income.

To help you determine if your dad is eligible for SSI, help him take the Social Security Administration’s benefits screening test at SSAbest.benefits.gov. This online questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and screens for a variety of benefits, not just SSI. You should also know that most states – except Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota and West Virginia – supplement the federal SSI payment with payments of their own. In some of the states that pay a supplement, your dad may qualify for the state payment even if he doesn’t meet the federal SSI eligibility criteria.

How to Apply If you think that your dad is eligible for SSI, call 800-772-1213 and set up an appointment to apply at his local Social Security office.

To help make the application process go quickly and smoothly, your dad should bring his Social Security number; birth certificate or other proof of age; information about the home where he lives, such as his mortgage, or lease and the landlord’s name; payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about his income and the things he owns; his proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if he is applying for SSI because he is disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics that have information related to his condition.

For more information visit SSA.gov/ssi or call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and ask them to mail you a copy of publication 11000 “Supplemental Security Income (SSI).”You can also read it online at SSA.gov/pubs/EN-05-11000.pdf.

Other Assistance Programs Depending on your dad’s income, needs and location there are other financial assistance programs that may be able to help him like Medicaid, prescription drug assistance, food stamps and energy assistance.

that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of March 25-29, the House met for a total of eight hours and 54 minutes while the Senate met for a total of four hours and 33 minutes.

MON., MARCH 25 House 11:05 a.m. to 1:44 p.m.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) has approved application for Determination of Need (No. CHA- 18090915RE) to fund a second CT scanner at the Cambridge Hospital on the condition that Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) make a total Community Health Initiative (CHI) contribution of $100,007, of which $10,000 has been directed to the CHI Statewide Initiative and $90,007 (the CHI Community Funding) is to be directed toward local CHA initiatives.

CHA’s will focus on addressing priorities of mental health and substance use disorders (SUD). We are proposing funding an expansion of the North Suffolk Mental Health’s Recovery Coach Program to increase engagement and connection of addicted individuals with community recovery services and engagement of individuals with mental health disorders. In addition, the Gavin Foundation has applied to DPH for funding to open a recovery center in Malden. If this center is funded by Department of Public Health, CHA will also contribute Community Funds to The Gavin Foundation to support the opening of the recovery center.
