RTA calls on district to Revere Youth Host Peaceful reinstate Whelan teachers Black Lives Matter March

By Barbara Taormina

M

ore than 928 people have signed a petition calling for the School Committee to renew the contracts of three A.C. Whelan teachers who were involved in a labor dispute earlier this year.

According to the Revere Teachers Association (RTA), which launched the online petition on The Action Network, the district is retaliating against the three teachers for their union activity and standing up for the rights of teachers and students. Katie Cochrane, a 5th grade English language arts, science and social studies teacher who has been with the district since 2016, Victoria DeVincent, a 4th grade ELA, science and social studies teacher who served for three years as an early reading intervention paraprofessional before becoming a classroom teacher in 2017, and Heather Kantrowitz,”Mrs. K,” a K-5 school adjustment counselor who started with the district in 2016, have learned that their contracts with the district are not being renewed.

Cochrane, DeVincent and Kantrowitz were among a group of 17 Whelan teachers who earlier this year protested a change in the school’s breakfast program by not following a procedure for reporting the number of students who participated and had breakfast. “The change resulted in the addition of clerical work to teachers’ duties without having bargained it,” said RTA President Erik Fearing.

Superintendent Diane Kelly disagreed and disciplined the Whelan teachers, who were suspended for several days for insubordination. The teachers filed grievances that were heard by the School Committee. However, committee members voted against overturning the disciplinary actions taken by Kelly.

Now the RTA is asking residents to support their call to reverse the decision not to renew the contracts of the three Whelan teachers, a decision the union called “insulting, unacceptable, anti-union and bad for teachers and students.”

2021 budget proposal includes major spending cuts

By Barbara Taormina

C

ity Councillors had their first look at Mayor Brian Arrigo’s $209.7 million budget proposal for 2021 this week. Although the bottom line shows an increase of more than $6 million from this year, the budget proposal includes roughly $2 million in spending cuts from various City of Revere departments.

“This budget cycle is a little different than what we’ve grown accustomed to,” Arrigo told councillors. “I want to commend [Finance Director] Rich-

ard Viscay and his team for putting something together that is our best estimate for where we’ll land in 2021.”

Like other cities and towns, Revere is building a budget without any figures on local aid. This year, Revere received $82.3 million in state aid, including $70.5 million in Chapter 70 funding for public schools. Although this year’s numbers on local aid are not expected to be available until late in the summer, most communities are bracing for a significant reduction of support from the state.

The city is also expecting to see a decrease in revenue from property and excise taxes, permit and licensing fees and re-

ceipts hotel and meal taxes. But no one knows exactly how deep the decrease will be.

“We are looking at a combination of reduction in force, cuts and the use of free cash to see us through,” said Arrigo.

The budget proposal calls for increases for some of the city’s largest departments. Schools are slated to receive $94.1 million, up from this year’s school budget of $89.8 million.

Arrigo’s budget proposal calls for $11.7 million for the Police Department, an increase of about $600,000, and $10.7 million for the Fire Department, which is about $400,000 more than this year. Those increases will cover negotiated raises for both departments, and Arrigo said there are no plans for a reduction of force in either police or fire.

Fixed costs, which include debt payments, pension obligations and health insurance, are costs over which the city has little control. The budget proposal includes $43.3 million to cover fixed costs, which are up from this year’s total of $42.1 million.

But cuts have been proposed for other city departments. The budget includes $3.9 million for Public Works, down from this

Class President Jake Coppola, of Revere, studied carpentry and plans to attend the University of New Hampshire.

WAKEFIELD – Superintendent David DiBarri and Principal Carla Scuzzarella are pleased to announce the graduation of 286 students from Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School.

This year’s Revere graduates are Bladimir Pinto, Angelo Sepe, Eduardo Duarte Lizardo, Tommy Merida Lopez, Mia Cambriello, Jake Coppola, David Zuluaga Reyes, Owen Forte, Gianna DiPlatzi and Antonio Cianciaruso.

“We could not be more proud to celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of the Class of 2020,”said DiBarri.“During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have shown perseverance and determination. Congratulations to each and every one of you, and we wish you all the best as you take your next steps.”

Northeast Metro Tech held 16 socially distanced in-person commencement events

over the course of four days last week, beginning on Monday, June 1, and ending Thursday, June 4. Graduations were spaced two hours apart, and students and their families were allowed to stand together during the ceremony while staying at least six feet from other families. Students were given personalized Class of 2020 face masks, and family members were encouraged to wear their own face masks or coverings as well.

“I’m sure most of you don’t know that my very first day as principal here was your first day at Northeast,” Scuzzarella said.

“We walked into this school together. Here you are today; 720 days of high school are behind you. You made it. You learned that you are resilient; you are able to withstand and recover from difficult conditions. These past two months have been challenging, but I could not be any prouder of each and every

one of you than I am right now.”

Reyes, this year’s salutatorian, plans to attend Wentworth Institute of Technology and study architecture. “The pandemic has affected so many things, including our ability to be with each other,” he said.

“Even so, our time is now. We’re growing up and deciding what our future holds. We wear these robes today to signify that we are moving forward. We graduate today to show that we are ready for what comes next, whatever that may be.”

Coppola, president of the senior class, plans to attend the University of New Hampshire in the fall. “Many things in life are guaranteed, yet, as we all found out in the recent months, nothing is promised,” he said. “Well, Class of 2020, through thick and thin, good days, bad days, full days, half days, warm days and snow days, we made it. We should all be extremely proud of each other.”

Unity Pride Flag to be raised at City Hall Friday Afternoon in Honor of Pride Month J

une 11, 2020 – Tomorrow, June 12th at 4:00 P.M. Mayor Brian Arrigo and City Councilor Steve Morabito will be joined by City staff to raise an intersectional rainbow flag in front of City Hall in honor of Pride Month. Rainbow colors will also light the Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge to show support for the LGBTQ+ community. The motion to raise the flag was brought to the City Council by Councilor Steve Morabito and approved

by Mayor Arrigo in March.

The Unity flag being raised includes two additional black

and brown stripes as well as colors of the Trans flag, reflecting an intersectional approach to this year’s Pride.

“Publicly displaying the Pride Flag sends a clear and unequivocal message that Revere is a welcoming and inclusive place,”said Councilor Morabito. “A place where not just us in the LGBTQ+ community, but every person can live without fear of persecution, judgment or discrimination. Pride means the freedom to be who you are and not let anyone judge you for it. It means standing up and being heard.

It means coming together and

celebrating our individuality by showing how inclusive we are, especially as a community."

"The past weeks have been a time for listening, introspection, and commitment to action as we work together as a city to address and overcome the injustices faced by marginalized communities," Mayor Arrigo said. "I'm grateful to Councilor Morabito for his work to ensure this clear signal of the City's support for our LGBTQ+ community -- especially during a time when we can't participate in Pride Month's traditional celebrations."

Police Chief Guido retires after 33 years

By Barbara Taormina

O

ne of the many compelling moments during Monday’s march through Revere came towards the end of the two-hour protest against systemic racism and the law enforcement tactics that claimed the life of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and other Black victims of police brutality. “Do you know who was protecting us and leading us during this march?�a young woman with the microphone asked the hundreds of people gathered in front of Revere City Hall. “It was that officer with the white hair, the chief,� she said.

The crowd of mostly young people applauded as Police Chief Jim Guido walked through the crowd and joined the speakers on the steps of City Hall. “We are all one and this fight belongs to all of us,� said the woman who called out Guido. And Guido could not agree more. “I can’t say enough about the young people who organized the march and those who were there,� he said. “I was honored to be part of it.�

Guido, who has served as a Revere Police Officer for 33 years, including three years as chief, will retire at the end of this month. He never imagined that he would wrap up his career in law enforcement coping with a pandemic followed by a nationwide reckoning with the deep-seated racism that exists in American society and its culture

RPD Chief James Guido announced that he will be retiring on June 30 after 33 years.

and institutions. But he also never imagined he would be a cop.

Guido, who grew up near the beach, graduated from Revere High and the afternoon program at Northeast Regional Vocational High, where carpentry came naturally. He was a happy 26-year-old working in construction when his friends started talking about taking the police test. He decided to join them. “I did well, and I got the call,� said Guido, who figured he would at least give policing a chance. It was the right call. “I thought it was so fulfilling and rewarding,� recalled Guido.

And that was back in the 1980s, when Revere was a different place with plenty of problems and all varieties of crime and criminals. But Guido was part of the effort to change that land-

scape. “There was a time when people were afraid to walk down Shirley Avenue,� recalled Guido.

Being part of a police department that restored public safety and cleared the way for the Revere renaissance is a laurel worth resting on.

Guido worked his way up the police department ladder and spent plenty of time patrolling the city. Responding to emergencies and investigating crimes were satisfying challenges.

He recalled that one night, when he was still a sergeant, there was a case of a residential fire bombing. It was the dead of winter with temperatures that felt like 10 below zero, but Guido and his partner waited, watched and paid close attention to ev-

ery detail at the scene, especially how people were acting and what they were wearing. “We ended up catching both people involved,� he said. “I went on a hunch, and I ended up being right.�

Guido has not only served Revere by bolstering public safety, he has worked to strengthen the community with positive projects and events. Everyone who knows him seems to have a story. He has supported youth sports programs and volunteered to help rehab city parks and build a playground. “I loved serving the children of Revere,� he said.

He is particularly proud of the city’s Sandcastle Festival, which he said has grown from a few sculptures to something mag-

nificent.

In 2017, Mayor Brian Arrigo appointed Guido chief of the police department, where he was already playing several different administrative roles.

Guido said any professional achievements that he has enjoyed along the way belonged not just to him but also to his wife, Lily, his son, Jay, and his daughter, Nanci. Their support allowed him to succeed.“The job truly is a family commitment,� he said.

Guido logged into this week’s City Council meeting to accept a Certificate of Merit for his service to the city and to hear some well wishes on his retirement from councillors.

Unity Against Crisis

By Mayor Brian M. Arrigo

D

uring the recent months we have experienced two dramatic events that undoubtedly will be forever characterized as pivotal moments of modern history: the Covid-19 pandem-

ic, and the demonstrations that have been staged across the nation in reaction to the death of a Black man in police custody in Minneapolis.

Though the two events are unrelated, each can impart lessons about unity, and its value to our

community’s well-being and to society as a whole.

Human nature drives us to react to a common sense of threat or injustice. And when we channel our reactions toward a unified objective, we can witness beneficial results.

When Covid-19 crawled into our consciousness, we quickly perceived the menace as it frightened us, sickened our families and claimed the lives of so many of our most vulnerable people.

In response, the public acted together for the good of others.

The proverb “Unity is Strength” was personified as the people of our widely diverse city merged as volunteers and essential workers to maintain the community’s foundation and minister to those in need. It took courage and stamina, but the universal objective of caring for each other was the ultimate motivation.

The collective power of all our efforts staved off a greater

health catastrophe. Today, cautiously and still working together, our lives have taken a step toward recovery. Our constant awareness of Covid-19, linked with our continued spirit to care for each other, will help us dodge its peril.

Injustice, in the form of racism, violence and exclusion, is an analogous menace. It tears at our fundamental existence as human beings living in one environment. It endangers the innocent and the vulnerable and seeds despair and fear.

Against this threat, also, we must act together, unified against that which sickens us and claims the life of too many.

We mourn the sad truth that it took George Floyd’s death to spur the unified social activism that we pray will symbolize the value of life and lead to the reforms that will strengthen us as a nation. This is our societal crucible, and while we tremble at the

pain and havoc that erupts from injustice, we are fully conscious of the good that can grow from unity and action. Without unified action, we risk societal catastrophe.

Former President Barack Obama, commenting on the demonstrators last week, commented that “the overwhelming majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible, and inspiring [and] deserve our respect and support.”

Fighting injustice, the demonstrators have taken the same tactic as their friends and neighbors who fought against that other insidious disease afflicting our nation. Every one of them has acted in unity, determined as ever to protect their brothers and sisters from danger.

Against disease, against injustice, against any anguish, Unity is strength, and it is also our greatest hope.

Investing in education and opportunity for all students

By Joe Gravellese, candidate for State Representative Ask yourself if this makes sense: Every year, teachers spend an average of $600 out of their own pockets to buy school supplies.

Districts across the state are considering laying off teachers. Even before this crisis, many schools didn’t have enough money to make sure every kid had access to a school counselor; to art and music; to sports.

Thousands of students across Massachusetts sit on waiting lists to attend vocational and technical schools, which provide a direct pipeline to goodpaying jobs.

Most school funding comes from property taxes, meaning kids in expensive communities are the only ones with access to the best-funded public schools.

Education, which is supposed to be the great equalizer, is driving us further apart.

Massachusetts spent $3.2 billion last year on prisons and law enforcement - before counting what gets spent by cities and towns. How much less expensive would the criminal justice system be if we put more resources into education and job training?

We need to change this, and it’s clear that just electing any Democrat is not good enough.

We need to think beyond the party label. What matters is a legislator’s priorities, what they believe in, and how willing they are to put in the hard work of advocacy.

So here’s what I believe in: education and opportunity.

I believe every student who wants to attend a vocational and technical school should be able to do so. I believe every student who wants to attend community college should be able to go debt-free, and that the $6,000 per year investment we make in that student’s future is much better than spending $55,000 per year to lock someone up.

I believe education should be well-rounded and guided by the principle of caring for and developing the whole person not just teaching the skills you need to pass a test. All students should have time for recess and play; access to art, music, and sports; to counseling; and to civics education that prepares them to be 21st century citizens.

I believe that all of our school buildings should be safe, healthy, and modern, in all of our towns, not just the wealthy suburbs.

I believe the best way to improve educational outcomes is to reduce concentrations of poverty - so we should tackle issues like homelessness, hun-

ger, and lack of access to mental health care.

I believe we can afford to make these investments if we shift our priorities. If we reverse some of the $4 billion in state tax cuts that have largely gone to very few at the top, so we can invest in a better future for all of us. If we extend people not a handout, but a hand up - an opportunity to thrive. If we put less focus on locking people up, and more on lifting our communities up.

I can’t promise that as one voice on Beacon Hill, we can make all of these changes quickly, or that the work won’t be hard. But I can say the status quo is not good enough. We need strong leadership representing our communities that speaks out on these important issues, and pushes for needed change.

The pandemic has exposed cracks in our foundation that have been there all along. The good news? Now that the cracks are out in the open, it should be easier to muster the political will to fix them. Let’s get to work.

Northeast Metro Tech seeks local Blaming all police is not businesses partnerships amid COVID-19 the answer ~ LET TER TO THE EDITOR ~

To The Editor, As I read the Revere Advocate (June 5) there was an abundance of news on Revere’s reaction to what happened to George Floyd at the hands of several members of the Minneapolis Police Department after he had been placed in handcuffs. The images of which clearly show major breakdown of public safety.

As a retired police officer myself of 28 years of service, those images sickened me. Mr. Floyd should still be alive today and all the officers involved have been charged in connection with his killing.

You don’t knee a suspect for 8 minutes and 46 seconds pressing down on his neck.

However, I think the reaction to blame all police for the actions of some officers is wrong just as wrong to blame those who peaceably assemble to air grievances with those who take advantage of a situation and start acting violently, looting, burning and hurting people too.

I believe all lives matter. As a police officer for as long as I was, I can’t remember how many arrests I made or how many times I was involved in a takedown but I do remember that twice I saved two individuals from killing themselves. I took to heart that mot-

to about serving and protecting as do most police officers This whole insane idea being pushed

by Black Lives Matter and others to defund and dismantle police departments and the idea to disarm (police) is reckless. Without the law there is no order and without order there is no society.

We do not live in Utopia. We live in the real world. There is indeed a gulf between those in the community and the police whose job it is to protect them.

When this relationship ruptures, it does not serve civil society well.

As I read the words of US Attorney General Bill Barr in The Advocate, I do agree when he states, “Our free society depends upon the rule of law the assurance that ordinary citizens can go on about their lives without being subject to arbitrary violence or fear.”

In this recent police action against Floyd, he died at the hands of the police and created fear in the eyes of community members across this nation the very people the police are sworn to protect.

WAKEFIELD – Superintendent David DiBarri is pleased to share that Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School received a delivery from Reading Lumber Co. as part of an initiative at the school to support local, small businesses amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Recently Reading Lumber delivered landscaping materials and equipment to Northeast Metro Tech; the company was met by DiBarri, Northeast Metro Tech School Committee Vice Chairman Judith Dyment and maintenance staff.

“As we continue to purchase necessary supplies for the operation of our school – especially as we begin to prepare for the coming school year – we realized we had a great opportunity to consciously support local, small businesses when making our orders,”DiBarri said.“We know that small businesses in particular have been hit hard by the COVID-19 public health crisis, and it’s our hope by filling our orders and purchasing supplies locally we can help support our neighbors during this challenging time.”

“We’re thrilled to be working directly with small businesses, especially knowing the impact COVID-19 is having on our economy,”Dyment said.“It’s important for communities to support one another, especially amid the ongoing public health crisis. It’s also a great example for students of positive community partnerships.”

“It’s a great opportunity for us to work with the tech and get our name out with the students, who are just starting out in the trade, and get them to realize the value of small business,” said Reading Lumber Co. Codirector Chuck Strout,“especially as they’re going to be starting their own, most likely. I think it’s great.”

Northeast Metro Tech is also working with Moynihan Lumber of North Reading to purchase supplies, and this May contacted local Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, Mayors and Town Managers from the school’s sending districts in an effort to collaborate with local communities to support small business. In the past the school has often purchased supplies from larger distributors.

Revere resident graduates from Fairfield University FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Last month Sabrina O’Donnell of Revere graduated from Fairfield University.

Sunrise Movement Boston Chapter endorses Gravellese for State Rep J

oe Gravellese’s campaign for State Representative was endorsed this week by the Boston Chapter of the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led organization that seeks to protect the environment, create new jobs and address the climate crisis, in order to invest in the next generation. Gravellese is running in the Democratic primary on September 1 in the 16th Suffolk District (Revere, Chelsea, Saugus).

“Joe has extensive experience in both state and city government, achieving environmen-

tal legislative accomplishments – including legislation to repair gas leaks, and being part of the team that successfully fought to close the polluting Salem Coal Plant,” said the announcement from Sunrise Boston.“Joe is centering climate and justice issues, highlighting the connections at every opportunity. He is the candidate in this race truly speaking to the important issues that face young people in Massachusetts today.”

“I’m proud to be endorsed

by Sunrise Boston,” said Gravellese. “High school students, col-

lege students, and other young leaders are demanding that politicians address their concerns, and invest in their future.”

“Revere, Chelsea, and Saugus have been particularly hard hit by environmental hazards like increasing tailpipe emissions, polluting fossil fuel infrastructure, and the nearby trash incinerator,” he added. “This added to COVID-19’s horrible impact on our communities. This endorsement reflects the fact that my campaign has made it a priority to address environmental and public health hazards.”

“DANGEROUS” TIMES: Malden’s Dana Rosenblatt became a New England hero in the boxing ring in the 1990s Rosenblatt, Chelsea’s John “The Quiet Man” Ruiz and Everett’s Rich LaMontagne fueled a renaissance in boxing interest (Following is Part One of a two-part series. Part Two will appear in the June 19 Advocate)

By Steve Freker

A

nyone who’s grown up in Malden and either stayed here as a longtime resident or pulled up roots years ago will tell you the same thing. Malden and sports go hand-in-hand and born-and-bred Maldonians just live for their sports history.

And why not? Malden’s the home of the sports shoe that cornered the market for decades. Converse Rubber churned out millions of Chuck Taylors for American basketball players, eventually becoming the go-to footwear for every NBA icon out there. Football and baseball each owned bigtime

real estate in Malden, producing a pair of NFLers in two different decades and no less than 13 MLB draftees over a 25-year span, second to none for Massachusetts communities.

But for one momentous decade in local sports lore, a charismatic pugilist who wore the Star of David on his trunks – and owned a devastating right hook – made Malden residents, and many across greater Boston and New England, sit up and take notice. For much of the 1990s and into the early part of the 21st century, Malden boxer Dana Rosenblatt practiced the “sweet science” in such a manner that made him a household

name in his hometown and beyond.

To top it all off, how many professional boxers can add to their string of ring career tales that they fought (and won) a match right in the cozy confines of their own city?! Longtime residents and sports aficionados from this area will not soon forget the night of August 11, 1994, when they erected a ring in the middle of Malden’s Macdonald Stadium and “Dangerous” Dana Rosenblatt stayed undefeated with a unanimous decision over Canadian journeyman Jacques LeBlanc, going to 21-0 before a crowd of about 5,000.

From 1992-2002, Rosenblatt

was the toast of the town in Malden and beyond, developing a strong following along a road that led him nearly to the top of the heap.

They say that football is a game of inches. Well, boxing is a game of lefts, rights and every punch in between, and it could be said that the Malden boxer’s entire future and career ended up coming down to one punch.

That one, fateful punch, a looping right which rocked Rosenblatt like he’d never been rocked before, was the beginning of a quick end in that bout, played out on August 23, 1996. at Bally’s Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza delivered the blow in the fourth round of what had been called a major stepping

stone for Rosenblatt to the proverbial bigger and better events – had he won the fight. Instead, Pazienza finished what he started shortly afterward, handing Rosenblatt his first and only defeat of his professional career, which saw him fashion a remarkable, 37-1-2 career mark.

Bigtime fights seemed within Rosenblatt’s grasp, before the

TKO loss to Pazienza. There were murmurs of a possible matchup with one of the most wellknown boxers of the times, Oscar De La Hoya, in Las Vegas, no less. Bigger stages…and bigger paydays were coming, it appeared.

But “The Punch,” as it was

Revere Youth Host Peaceful BLM March

By Tara Vocino pproximately 500 people, wearing mostly black attire and A carrying signs, marched from Revere Beach to City Hall, led by a 10-member youth group of former and current Revere High students, during a three-hour Black Lives Matter peaceful protest on Tuesday.

“Revere youth should play a part in what’s happening in our country,” said an event organizer, Seba Ismail, as the crowd gathered. “We call on officials to let them know that we’re here and we care.”

Signs stating “J u s t i c e f o r George” were seen during the protest.

SPORTS | FROM PAGE 8 monikered by the great boxing writer Ron Borges, formerly of The Boston Globe and Boston Herald, took a heavy toll, and few of those big lights ever got turned on for Rosenblatt after that fight.

Still, though he never made it to a ring in Vegas. Rosenblatt was part of a unique slice of sports history, not only in Malden, but in the region in general, as he was one of not one, but three rising boxing stars who hailed from the greater Boston neighborhoods. Included were heavyweight John “The Quiet Man” Ruiz, of Chelsea, who would go on to make millions, winning the WBA belt twice, and Rich “The Mountain” LaMontagne, a former Everett High football star who fashioned a quick rise in the cruiserweight division, winning an IBA title in 1995. All three of these fighters began their pro careers in 19921993 and they were squarely the driving force behind a renaissance of boxing interest in Malden, Everett, the greater Boston area and across New England because of their mutual success.

Had Rosenblatt came onto the scene a decade or a bit more later, he might have made an impression in a whole other brand of fighting. He seemed perfectly bred for the fight game today called Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

In 1992 the 20-year-old Malden Catholic graduate, who had just earned an associate’s degree at Bunker Hill Community College, decided he was going to chase an anachronism – he was going to pursue a professional boxing career. Prior to that, for a number of years Rosenblatt had become an accomplished competitor in a variety of other fighting sports, most notably as a kickboxer, under the watchful eyes of his trainer and mentor, the late Richie Angelo. Angelo, a 1977 Malden High School graduate who had excelled in multiple sports at MHS, where

he captained the football and track teams, ran a very successful martial arts and kickboxing studio in Everett on Broadway.

Nearly straight out of Springfield College, where he picked up another sport, lacrosse, to crush, Angelo opened his studio and soon developed a reputation as one of the best instructors around.

Rosenblatt became his prize pupil, as the two Malden guys hit it off right away, Angelo in his late 20s and Rosenblatt in his high school years. At the time,

in a Malden Evening News story, Angelo recalled, “I saw right away that Dana [Rosenblatt] has that inner toughness and competitive spirit. He feared nothing and just wanted to win everything he competed in.”

From 1989 through 1991, Rosenblatt mastered several martial arts disciplines, including karate and judo. Under Angelo’s tutelage, he delved into kickboxing and found still another niche in which to excel. It was there the bridge to the boxing ring was formed. Angelo introduced Rosenblatt to veteran boxing trainer Joe Lake, of World Gym Boxing in Somerville, and a strong alliance was formed.

In 1992 after discussions between Rosenblatt, Lake and Angelo ensued, it was decided: Rosenblatt was turning pro.

What followed was a veritable whirlwind of boxing stepping stones. Few could have predicted the upward spiral of success Rosenblatt would generate.

Rosenblatt fought six times that first year in 1992, including a whopping three bouts alone in the month of November. Included in this November trifecta was a coveted spot (for a novice like Rosenblatt, or any up-andcoming fighter) on a Top Rank card promoted by Bob Arum, an

icon promoter then and now – it was at the showpiece boxing venue of the time, Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.

The glittering gambling palace was only in its sixth year on the scene, having opened its doors in 1986, and aside from Atlantic City, was establishing itself as a key mecca for wagering East of the Mississippi.

At 5-10, and around 160 lbs. at the time, Rosenblatt was competing in the middleweight division that evening. Fighting in the second preliminary bout, the Malden boxer could not have had a better night, with a first-round knockout of a fellow 20-year-old Massachusetts resident, Julio Rodriguez of Springfield, who had been making his professional debut at Foxwoods in that bout. Rosenblatt improved to 4-0 and was still unbeaten in his seven-month-old professional career, all four wins by knockout.

Prior to the bout, there had been some questions of nerves for the young Malden boxer, appearing on such a big a stage as Foxwoods Resort at that point in career, just four fights into it.

Rosenblatt quickly put that to rest in a story in the Malden Evening News before the fight. “I’ve worked very hard for this oppor-

tunity and my team has done a great job getting me prepared for this opportunity,”Rosenblatt said. “I’m not thinking about anything but the fight and my opponent. I’ll be ready.”

With his quick dispatch of Rodriguez in Round One of a scheduled four-rounder, Rosenblatt backed up those remarks in full.

In addition to his exciting debut at Foxwoods, Rosenblatt undoubtedly caught the eye of promoter Arum’s staff, as Rosenblatt eventually signed on to Arum’s stable of fighters in a move that proved lucrative to both as the Malden fighter’s star continued to rise.

Interestingly, also on the Foxwoods six-fight card that night was none other than Chelsea’s own John “The Quiet Man” Ruiz, who registered a fourth-round KO of Barry Kirton to improve to 3-0. Like Rosenblatt, Ruiz, also 20 years old at the time, had made his pro debut in 1992.

Ruiz, of course, would go on to become the first Latino to hold the WBA Heavyweight title, capturing it twice, in 2001 and again in 2005, as part of a long career, from 1992-2010, compiling a 44-9-1 record with 30 knockouts. Included were storied title wins over the famed Evander Holyfield in 2001 and then over James Toney in 2005.

Along with the early and then continued success of Ruiz, Rosenblatt and Everett’s Richie LaMontagne (who turned pro in 1993), people in the greater Boston area began to notice the buzz about these young fighters, and boxing interest gained some momentum.

—Next week: In Part Two of this two-part story,“Dangerous” Dana Rosenblatt continues to have great success in his boxing career, eventually leading to a “pivotball” rivalry and pair of momentous matchups with one of the leading super middleweights of the time, Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil”Pazienza.

How to Make the Most of Your Telehealth Appointment Dear Savvy Senior, I manage a large doctor’s clinic that treats hundreds of seniors each month. We are moving to more telehealth visits to help keep our patients safe at home during the coronavirus pandemic, but this new way of seeing a doctor is befuddling to many of our elder patients. Can you write a column educating patients on how to prepare for a telehealth appointment?

Regular Reader Dear Reader, I’d be happy to help! To help keep patients safe and at home during the coronavirus crisis more and more doctors and other health care providers are turning to telehealth (a.k.a. telemedicine) appointments, which are remote e-visits using a digital communication device like a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Although telehealth has been around for a few years now, recent updates to regulations and a surge in demand has made it the easiest way to get many different types of medical care. Most telehealth appointments today tend to be primary care or follow-up visits that can assess symptoms or check on people who have had a medical procedure. Telehealth also works well for some specialties like dermatology or mental health care (counseling/therapy) services.

So, what can patients expect from a telehealth visit, and how should they prepare?

The first step is to call your doctor’s office to find out whether telemedicine visits are available and whether you will need to set up an account or install special software on your computer, phone or tablet.

Until recently, doctors were required to conduct telehealth visits through platforms such as Doxy, Thera-Link or MyChart that were compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. But some of those requirements have been relaxed in the current crisis; so many providers are using popular apps such as FaceTime, Skype and Zoom to conduct visits.

Once you know what technology you will be using, get familiar with it. You don’t want to spend the first 10 minutes of your visit trying to figure out how to unmute the audio.

For older patients that aren’t familiar or comfortable with technology, ask a relative or friend with a smartphone, tablet or lap-

top to assist you.

Take the time to clarify the purpose of the televisit before it begins. Prioritize a written list of three or four issues you want to discuss with your doctor and make a list of the medicines you’re taking, along with the dosages.

Also, have relevant medical devices or logs on hand, such as a penlight or smartphone flashlight for viewing a sore throat, a bloodpressure cuff and thermometer (or recent readings), blood-sugar logs if you’re diabetic or a food log if you have gastrointestinal problems.

If you’ve received medical care at different places, such as an urgent care facility or another doctor’s office, have your latest medical records with you during the telemedicine visit.

Wear loose clothing that will allow you to show your medical provider what is concerning you.

The length of the appointment may depend on the problem. A routine visit could be very quick, while others, such as a physicaltherapy appointment, may last as long as a session at a clinic.

Waiting rooms are sometimes replaced by virtual waiting rooms.

Before the visit ends, make sure you know the follow-up plan. Do you need to schedule an in-office visit, fill a prescription or get a referral to a specialist?

Right now, Medicare and Medicaid are covering the cost of telehealth visits (see medicare.gov/ coverage/telehealth for details), and most private insurers are following suit.

If, however, you don’t have a primary care physician or need urgent care, you can get help through virtual health care service like Doctor on Demand (doctorondemand.com) or TeleDoc (teladoc.com). These services currently do not accept original Medicare, but they may be covered by private insurers including some Medicare Advantage plans – be sure you check.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: The House and Senate continued to hold remote sessions with just a few members in the chambers to avoid spreading the COVID-19. Most members watched and listened to the debate from their home or business office through their computers and voted via phone.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ votes on roll calls from the week of June 1-5. There were no roll calls in the Senate last week.

HELP RESTAURANTS (H 4767) House 156-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill designed to help revive and stimulate the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. The measure would allow restaurants to sell sealed containers of mixed drinks with take-out and delivery orders. A law passed in April allows restaurants and bars to sell limited quantities of beer and wine, in their original containers, with takeout and delivery orders. The order did not include mixed drinks. Restaurants are still barred from serving customers liquor or food in their dining rooms under a March executive order from Gov. Charlie Baker.

The proposal requires orders for cocktails to be placed by midnight or earlier if the establishment closes before that. The measure defines mixed drinks as a drink sealed in a container holding up to 64 fluid ounces of liquor and mixer that have been combined. “In Massachusetts, we have seen countless small, local restaurants and pubs adversely impacted by

COVID-19, with mom and pop establishments fearful that in addition to layoffs and lost revenue, they will not be able to reopen their doors following the shutdown,� said Sen. DiZoglio who filed a separate bill to allow the delivery of mixed drinks. “The sale of to-go mixed drinks during this time would generate critical revenue, helping to alleviate the burden that restaurants in our communities are feeling and support them in their efforts to retain employees and pay rent and taxes. It is time for Massachusetts to step it up and join the 34 states that have already adopted these measures.� “Restaurants are among the hardest, if not the most impacted businesses by the Coronavirus shutdown,� said Steve Clark, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Restaurant Association (MRA). “Allowing mixed drinks to go is another tool for restaurants to attempt to increase revenue opportunities. We hope Massachusetts joins the other neighboring states in authorizing this legislation.

There is just something about a professionally made cocktail that can’t be replicated at home.�

Another key provision would cap delivery fees by third parties like GrubHub, DoorDash and Uber Eats at 15 percent of the order price until 45 days after the COVID-19 state of emergency ends. When the pandemic struck, many restaurants were not equipped to offer online ordering or delivery and are forced to rely heavily on these delivery companies. ÂŤThird party delivery companies have been a source of frustration for our industry, with reports of these platforms charging up to a 30 percent commission on individual orders,Âť said the MRA’s Clark. “Due to the current situation, regulating the transparency of these platforms is more important than ever. As restaurants look for new ways to survive with increased takeout and delivery, third party delivery compa-

nies will play a prominent role. That prominent role will need increased regulation to ensure transparency and fairness for all who utilize these platforms.�

The delivery companies argue that arbitrarily limiting fees to 15 percent is unfair. They said the cap will mean that they will have to charge their customers more or pay their delivery drivers less.

The measure also allows cities and towns to authorize some changes to state licensing and local zoning procedures in order to make it easier and faster for restaurants to open outdoor seating. Another provision would temporarily waive late fees for any restaurants that are behind on paying the revenue from the meals tax to the state.

(A “Yes� is for the bill.)

Rep. Bob DeLeo Ye s Rep. RoseLee Vincent Ye s HELP CITY AND TOWN GOVERNMENTS (H 4777) House 156-0, Senate on a voice vote without a roll call, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill that would lower the number of voters needed at an open town meeting in order to have a quorum. Other provisions include allowing virtual representative town meetings to be held online and allowing towns to hold town meetings outside the geographic limits of the town if the select board determines that it is not possible to conduct town meetings within the geographic limits of the town that ensures health and safety.

Another key section allows a mayor who is unable to submit an annual budget for fiscal year 2021 to the city council within 170 days after his or her inauguration to submit the budget to the city council within 30 days after the termination of the governor’s declaration of emergency, or on July 31, 2020, whichever is earlier.

Supporters said it is essential to provide municipalities with the flexibility they need to run their government. They said the bill would allow cities and towns to function while still being fiscally responsible and maintaining the health and safety of voters.

(A ÂŤYesÂť vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Bob DeLeo Ye s Rep. RoseLee Vincent Ye s MAKE IT EASIER TO VOTE BY MAIL (H 4768) House 155-1, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would direct Secretary of State Bill Galvin to send applications for a mail-in ballot to every registered voter by July 15 for the September 1 primary and by September 14 for the November 3 general election. The bill also includes expanded in-person early voting options for voters prior to the elections.

Other provisions include a reduction from 20 to 10 in the number of days before the date of the election that a person must register to vote; allow local election officials to process mail ballots before Election Day in a central location; provide return postage for ballots and applications for ballots; set August 25 as the deadline to apply to early vote by mail in the September 1 primary and October 27 as the deadline to apply to early vote by mail in the November 3 general election; provide for electronic signature and submission of early voting by mail applications; provide for absentee voting by any person taking precaution related to COVID-19; require Secretary of State Bill Galvin in conjunction with the commissioner of the Department of

Public Health to establish emergency regulations requiring public health safeguards for in-person voting, including social distancing of voters and election officers, face coverings and personal protective equipment; frequent use of sanitizers and sanitary use of marking pens. “COVID-19 presents unprecedented challenges to our election administration in the commonwealth,â€? said Election Laws Committee chair John Lawn (D-Watertown).“We have worked closely with legislators, advocates, city and town clerks and various stakeholders to draft bi-partisan legislation that will protect both the health and safety of our voters and the integrity of our democracy by ensuring that all voices are heard.â€? “Today the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed by a nearly unanimous vote a very strong reform to our election laws,â€? said Pam Wilmot, Executive Director of Common Cause which has fought hard for the bill. “The legislation will allow every voter who wants to vote from the safety of their own home [the ability] to do so. The House has recognized the urgency of passing legislation to help protect our fall elections and moved quickly to help keep voters safe.â€? ÂŤWe applaud the House for swiftly passing...the bill, with the included amendments [that] introduces robust reforms that strengthen our elections in light of COVID-19, and deserve to be permanently implemented moving forward.Âť said Cheryl Clyburn Crawford, executive director of MassVOTE. “I was very concerned about the manpower needed in the clerk’s offices especially in the smaller communities like I represent,â€? said Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), the lone opponent of the bill. “The expense of the expansion of the mailings and the need for more election personnel on longer early voting days and the possibility of fraud [is why I voted against the bill.] I heard loudly from my constituents that they did not agree with this proposal.â€?

(A “Yes� vote is for the bill. A “No� vote is against it.)

Rep. Bob DeLeo Ye s Rep. RoseLee Vincent Ye s MORE TIME TO REGISTER TO VOTE (H 4768) House 144-12, approved an amendment that would shorten the voter registration black out period for the 2020 elections by reducing from 20 to 10 the number of days before the date of the election that a person must register to vote. “The goals of [the bill] is to make voting as accessible and as safe for all in the midst of COVID-19,�said Rep. Patricia Farley-Bouvier (D-Pittsfield), the sponsor of the amendment. By closing this blackout period, we have taken an incremental, but important step in making voting more accessible. Twenty days is much too long.

It is our hope that the 10-day cutoff is made permanent; and/or what would be much better: we achieve our goal of Election Day registration.�

Opponents offered no arguments on the House floor. There was no response from several of the amendment’s opponents despite repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call to get a statement on why they voted against the amendment.

(A “Yes� vote is for reducing the days to 10. A “No� vote is against the reduction).

Rep. Bob DeLeo Ye s Rep. RoseLee Vincent Ye s

ELECTION DAY REGISTRATION (H 4768) House 16-139, rejected an amendment that would allow voters to register to vote at the polls on Election Day. Under current law, a person must register at least 20 days before the date of the election. “Election Day Voter Registration is the ultimate way to ensure that every voter is enfranchised,� said the amendment’s sponsor Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (D-Northampton).“It falls to the Legislature to make voting as easy and accessible as possible to as many as possible, particularly our constituents who spend more time worrying about how they are going to pay their bills than if their voter registration is up-to-date or turned in. The need and the urgency for us to make things as easy and straightforward for the average person has never been more pressing than in the era of COVID-19.� “I spoke with the clerks several times throughout the bill drafting process to understand their needs and provide solutions that will make the 2020 elections fair and safe for everyone,� said Rep. Lawn. “We believe that the final bill does just that and overwhelmingly my colleagues agree. While considering the new technology that clerks will be using, the great increase in processing mailin ballots and our heavy reliance on senior poll workers, we feel that Election Day registration would be an added stress and may lead to potentially longer lines at the polls, making it more challenging to keep our voters and election officials healthy and safe.�

(A ÂŤYesÂť vote is for allowing people to register on Election Day. A ÂŤNoÂť is against allowing it.)

Rep. Bob DeLeo No Rep. RoseLee Vincent No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of 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.

RETIRES | FROM PAGE 3 “We spent a lot of years together and some of the greatest ones were building the police station together,�said Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto.“We’re going to miss you, but I know you’ll never be far from Revere because your heart is here.�

Ward 3 Councillor Arthur Guinasso recalled joining forces with Guido back in 2006 to insist on a new police station for the city. “Up until that point, it was just talk and nothing was ever done,�said Guinasso.“You know what we did to get the job done and we did a good job.�

Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna reminded Guido that they worked together at the Boys Club when they were teenagers, and Ward 5 Councillor John Powers recalled Guido driving him to get groceries in the wake of the Blizzard of 1978. “We all know your heart is in Revere,�said Councillor-at-Large Gerry Visconti. “You bleed Revere and that’s important.�

Guido thanked the councillors for all their cooperation and support over the years. “It’s been a great ride, but I have three little grandchildren and it’s time,� he said. “I think I am leaving the Police Department in a better place.�

Guido has a deep sense of gratitude toward the men and women he has served with for the past 33 years. “They do a remarkable job,� he said. “They give their all every day to make the city safe.�

It’s not just Revere police that

Guido appreciates. Last winter, he was elected president of the 18,000-member Massachusetts Police Association, which supports the state’s police officers. He has high praise for other chiefs who work in nearby communities.

Still, Guido said there needs to be some changes in law enforcement. Officers need more training in areas such mental health and de-escalation strategies. They also need to understand how to connect to communities like Revere that have continually evolving demographics.

When the video of George Floyd’s murder was made public, Guido posted a message to the community on the police department’s Facebook page. He said the Revere police were horrified to see the callous disregard for human life and stressed that the four Minneapolis police officers must be held accountable. “We know there is anger and frustration in our country and community; because we also feel it,� he wrote.

Guido said the Revere Police strive to build relationships within the community, and they want to work with people to end injustice against people of color and others who have been unfairly treated by those in authority. “We know that alone, neither the police nor community can achieve these changes,� he said. “But collectively, together, we can face these challenges and work toward meaningful reforms and solutions to solve our most entrenched issues.�

TEACHERS | FROM PAGE 1 “They protested against wrongful policies by their administrator that hurt student learning,�explained the RTA. “They went above and beyond every day in their jobs and also took the risk of advocating for their working conditions and the learning conditions of students.�

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM BILL SIGNED BY PRESIDENT

DeVincent and Kantrowitz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These three non-renewals must be overturned,â&#x20AC;? said the RTA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These teachers deserve their jobs back. Their students deserve their teachers back.â&#x20AC;?

To read or sign the Revere Teachers Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition, go to https://actionnetwork.org/ petitions/support-revere-educators-against reta liation?fbclid=IwAR20SDnGTTlWy_Sv8LO0ESH8C8b4Lk9tJJJQXGUkROKFbmovYpqkA1zpvkI.

Congress last week passed a bill extending the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) time period within which to incur necessary payroll expenses from eight weeks to 24 weeks from the date of the PPP loan funding date.

Furthermore, the requirement for forgiveness of the loan by paying out 75% of the loan proceeds for salaries has been lowered to 60%. This leaves room for small businesses to use 40% of the loan proceeds for such expenses as rent, mortgage interest, utilities and other business expenses.

The President signed the bill on June 5, 2020. The Bill is actually called the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act.

The deadline for applying for a PPP loan remains at June 30, 2020. There are still monies available in the program.

The flexibility in the PPP is designed to make it easier for small businesses to achieve complete forgiveness of the loan. Current PPP borrowers can elect to stick with the original eight-week period or they can elect to utilize the 24-week period instead.

This is particularly helpful for businesses that just recently opened up again for business, such as retail clothing stores, as well as for restaurants that do not even have the ability to serve customers inside their establishment as inside seating and seating at the bar is not currently allowed.

The Small Business Ad m i n i s t r a t i o n w i l l b e updating the forgiveness application, and a pdf file will be available on its website.

It should be noted that the new law does not allow any borrower to extend the period in which to meet the payroll expenditure requirement beyond December 31, 2020.

With the new 60% threshold comes an all-or-nothing deal.

That is, a small business has to meet the 60% expenditure requirement for payroll or none of the loan will be forgiven.

There is no more sliding scale offered to the small business where most of the loan would have been forgiven if the small business only paid out 50% of the loan proceeds in payroll during the allotted time period.

There may be an amendment to this bill to allow for partial forgiveness in these situations.

New borrowers now have five years to pay the loan back instead of two years, assuming the loan is not forgiven. The interest rate remains at 1% per year. The PPP was launched in early April with $349 billion in initial funding. That was exhausted in less than two weeks.

On April 21, 2020, Congress provided an additional $310 billion in funding for the program. It is designed for businesses with 500 or fewer employees. The business had to be in operation as of February 15, 2020.
