City Council approves duck hunting bill

By Tara Vocino

T

he City Council voted unanimously to approve special legislation to help regulate duck hunting.

Currently, it is permissible to hunt ducks in the waters off Revere Beach at least 500 feet from a residence, which often means less than 500 feet away from the shoreline. A Home Rule Petition, which mimics

REELECTION | FROM PAGE 1 need to support our schools, public safety and small businesses. I look forward to continuing our strong partnership in the years to come,” said Mayor Arrigo.

About Mayor Arrigo Mayor Brian M. Arrigo is a fourth-generation, lifelong resident of Revere. His promise to professionalize and modernize the city’s government led to his victory over the in-

a bill that State Rep. RoseLee Vincent (D-Revere) filed, would prevent the discharge of firearms for hunting purposes less than 1,500 yards seaward from the shoreline at Revere Beach or Point of Pines. This would only be enforceable in Revere to ensure the public safety of the residents/visitors.

“Picture walking along America’s First Public Beach on a brisk sunny morning anytime

between mid-November to late-January, and all of a sudden you hear ‘Pop, Pop, Pop,’ the sound of gunshots,” Vincent said. “Or that you are a child waiting for the school bus in the Point of Pines neighborhood of Revere, and you begin hearing gunshots.”

Vincent said her office has received many calls and emails State Rep. RoseLee Vincent (D-Revere) speaks during Monday

cumbent in November 2015 and his taking office in January 2016.

Mayor Arrigo has invested in staff and new equipment for police, fire, and DPW to create a cleaner and safer community. A new senior shuttle & enhanced youth and family programming has improved quality of life for residents of all ages.

A number of important reforms and initiatives have transformed Revere City Hall.

Mayor Arrigo instituted Re-

vere’s first Human Resources Department after years of being the largest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without one. His administration established the Substance Use Disorder Initiatives office, becoming one of the Commonwealth’s leaders in focused efforts toward tackling the opioid crisis. He also created the Mayor’s Constituent Service Call Center (also called the 311 Department), which promotes innovative and responsive interfaces between

the city government and Revere’s residents. Also, in a partnership with the cutting-edge StreetScan program, Mayor Arrigo has put together and executed a comprehensive, transparent plan for the future repair of city streets.

His skill and passion for transparent government and responsible economic management have been lauded by both public and private organizations outside of the city.

In the past year, the City of Revere achieved its highest bond

rating in history, a reflection of Mayor Arrigo’s diligence in tightening government spending and optimizing fiscal performance. His fiscal responsibility has enabled him to launch initiatives, including a new community center, a new DPW facility, the Point of Pines fire station, a substation on Shirley Avenue, a longawaited new high school, and renovation of multiple parks and playgrounds.

Our Partnership with the State is Vital for Transportation Relief

By Mayor Brian Arrigo

O

n Tuesday, October 8, I submitted a testimony to the legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation to advocate for state funding and support for the construction of a commuter rail stop at Wonderland station, along with a “people mover” to shuttle commuter rail passengers to the Wonderland Blue Line station. I also advocated for a Blue Line – Red Line connection.

The legislature will act on Governor Baker’s multi-billion dollar transportation bond bill. Everyone, at every level of government, understands the reality that traffic and congestion is a regional problem driven to the greatest extent by the booming regional economy. Every community knows there is no quick fix, and we, along with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and the MBTA, are committed to thoughtful, effective measures to address traffic.

Our city’s growth indicates that Revere is keeping pace with the region’s growth. This is imperative, lest our city becomes little more than a pass through to Boston or a collection of surface parking lots.

Addressing congestion requires innovative ideas along with maximizing the efficiency of existing infrastructure. As a hub of public transportation, Revere is uniquely situated to promote ideas that enhance public

transit and offer some relief to the region’s traffic issues.

To this end, my submission to the Committee was as follows: Dear Senator Boncore, Representative Straus, and Members of the Joint Committee: As Mayor of the City of Revere, I urge you to favorably consider two significant proposals that, when implemented, would conform to our objectives to reduce congestion and, simultaneously, improve public transit access from the North Shore to Boston/ Cambridge, Logan Airport and the future substantial advancements that are planned for the site of the former Suffolk Downs race track. These are 1) a commuter rail station at the Wonderland site, with an accessory "people mover" connection to the MBTA’s Blue Line station at Wonderland, and 2) an MBTA Blue Line ‘ Red Line link in downtown Boston.

As the Governor’s recent study indicates, vehicular traffic in the Route 1A corridor and other major roadways that traverse the City of Revere are among the most congested in the Commonwealth. A traffic study commissioned earlier this year by my Administration determined that upwards of 95 percent of traffic travelling through Revere during peak hours enters from outside the City. This is not surprising, since three MBTA stations – including the northern terminus of the Blue Line – are situated in Revere. Commuters headed into

Boston, and to Logan Airport, inevitably enter Revere.

The commuter rail from Boston to Rockport, with its stem to Newburyport, already passes directly through Revere. The advantages of constructing a station at Wonderland that will give thousands of North Shore resi-

dents convenient, single-transfer access to the MBTA Blue line are readily apparent. Future development in Revere at the former Necco site, at Wonderland, and Suffolk Downs will magnify both the demand for, and the wisdom of, a Wonderland commuter rail stop. By extension,

the Blue Line ‘ Red Line link augments the practical value of the Wonderland commuter rail stop.

Boston’s thriving economy generates countless benefits for the region. With that, however, come the hardships of

Veteran says: Rizzo opportunist when it comes to his opposition on new housing Dear Editor: I write today because of my dismay over the recent actions

by City Councilor and Mayoral Candidate Dan Rizzo. I have been to many veterans events over the years and hardly ever see Dan in attendance. That is just one reason why I was surprised to see him at the ribbon cutting for housing on Shirley Avenue the other day.

Another reason I was surprised to see him, was that Dan has made the entirety of his campaign about the production of housing in Revere and has gone to great lengths to

push a so called “moratorium” on all building. Perhaps Dan’s staunch opposition to new housing took a backseat to the fact that there was a photo opportunity with Governor Baker.

Regardless of his reasons, I find his actions offensive and in bad taste given his current position on housing. Dan has already told the public that he doesn’t believe Revere needs to be welcoming to everyone wishing to call Revere home.

Thankfully, the Governor and Mayor Arrigo disagree.

Their leadership enabled this project to be built and house

25 veterans. And, it has allowed the Revere Police to open a neighborhood police station in the building.

On November 5th Revere residents have the choice between a former mayor willing to say to do anything in order to get elected OR a Mayor that has a vision for a brighter future for our community. I choose to move Revere forward, not backward and urge you to vote for Mayor Brian Arrigo on Tuesday, November 5th.

Thank You, Stephen Leon OEF/OIF Veteran ’08 – ‘10

Stacey Rizzo of Revere to Join MASC Leadership Team

S

tacey Rizzo of Revere has been nominated to serve as Secretary-Treasurer of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC), the organization representing 315 of the state’s school committees and its 2,300 members across the Commonwealth. The nomination will be confirmed by the MASC Delegate Assembly on November 8, and she will assume her position in January 2020. Rizzo was selected by the MASC Nominating Committee from a pool of candidates and recommended by the MASC Board of Directors to the 150-member Delegate Assembly that meets annually in Hyannis.

Stacey Rizzo “Stacey has been working closely with us for almost a

decade,” said MASC President Devin Sheehan of Holyoke. “I anticipate that she will continue in the leadership path to lead MASC as President in three years.” He cited her creation of the student leadership program and her advocacy for incorporating voices of students into legislative advocacy as a key contribution to her work as a statewide proponent of public education.

Rizzo had previously served as chair of the MASC Urban Division and subsequently was drafted to take over the region serving the Metropolitan Bos-

Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop working on regional approaches to health priorities R evere, Chelsea, and Winthrop have come together in an unprecedented collaboration to identify and address their most urgent health concerns.

What they’ve come up with relates to social, economic, and environmental factors that are known to have significant impacts on a person’s health status. Housing affordability and availability, economic stability and mobility, and behavioral health, including youth mental health, have been prioritized through the first-ever integrated Community Health Needs Assessment (iCHNA), a year-long process bringing together hospitals and social service agencies serving the region, municipal departments, and, most importantly, residents and community groups. More than 2,000 people in the three communities were involved in the just-released iCHNA report.

Along with community members, participants in the project included Massachusetts General Hospital, Cambridge Health Alliance, Beth Israel Deaconess HealthCare, MelroseWakefield Healthcare, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Community Action Programs

Inter-City, North Suffolk Mental Health Association and The Neighborhood Developers.

Mass General’s Center for Community Health Improvement provided coordination and data analysis for the effort.

The multi-provider, multicommunity assessment was undertaken at the request of Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo, Chelsea City Manager Tom Ambrosino and Winthrop Town Manager Austin Faison to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the region’s health needs and identify opportunities to work together to address them. “We appreciated the willingness of all the service providers to work in tandem with our three municipalities so we could all be on the same page as far as understanding how best to respond to current needs,” said Ambrosino.

Assessment leaders focused on the impacts of what are now called “social determinants of health,” factors such as housing affordability and safety, economic stability, social inclusion, air and water quality, food security and access to transportation, recognizing that where one lives, works, learns and plays are key influencers of wellbeing.

They also took steps to ensure that the voices of population segments that are sometimes hidden or stigmatized were captured. “We realize that social determinants involve big, complex issues,” said Arrigo, “But in working together, we can have positive impacts by building on good work already being done locally or developing new initiatives to meet the challenges.”

Collecting data and identifying priority health needs of the three communities is just the first step. Working groups will be creating a community health improvement plan, or CHIP, to help guide health care providers and municipal officials in program planning and action over the next three years and beyond. “Our communities each have different populations and challenges,”said Faison,“but there are shared issues like adolescent mental health and air quality that may lend themselves to regional approaches and we look forward to collaborations with our neighbors in Revere and Chelsea.” The working groups expect to have the CHIP plan, including short-term and longer-term initiatives, completed by the end of the year.

tions credits from other facilities in order to comply with new regulations.

Vincent said she has changed her mind about the DEP document and plans to oppose it rather than support it when she testifies at a public hearing set for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday (Oct. 15) in the auditorium of Saugus High School. The DEP is hosting the hearing to give the public a chance to comment before the plan is adopted.

“When I first read the DEP draft, I actually believed that DEP meant what they said — ‘that Wheelabrator Saugus, would be required to meet the new standards of 150 Particles per million of Nitrogen Oxides’ — which are poisonous, highly reactive gases!,” Vincent told The Advocate.

“But the truth is that the emissions coming out of the incinerator stack in Saugus will not meet the 150 ppm at all.

It was all smoke and mirrors, fuzzy math — call it anything except the truth. The truth is that the DEP is going to allow the Saugus incinerator to buy emissions reduction credits (ERC’s) from other facilities that actually emit lower levels of Nitrogen oxides and give those credits to Saugus,” she said in an interview Wednesday night.

“So on paper they appear to be in compliance, but in reality the Saugus incinerator is emitting much higher levels of NOx than any other incinerator in the state and much higher than the new standard. This is another disturbing example of how DEP turns a blind eye, and a deaf ear to the people I

represent when it comes to issues with this facility,” she said. “ Wheelabrator, Saugus should not be allowed to blanket our community with higher levels of Nitrogen oxides than the rest of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I ask the DEP hold Wheelabrator accountable and to ensure that they are not emitting higher levels of toxins than any other incinerator in Massachusetts.”

She had initial misgivings with DEP Plan, then supported it Vincent, whose 16th Suffolk District includes two Saugus precincts — including 10, where the incinerator on Route 107 is located, initially expressed misgivings when DEP published the notice for next week’s public hearing.

“At first glance, it seems as though the DEP is signaling their approval to Wheelabrator to skirt these new emissions standards by using alternative methods,” she said in an earlier interview.

But, a week later, after consulting with DEP, she said she felt more comfortable about the agency’s draft approval.

“After further review of the DEP’s draft decision, I would like to acknowledge that the MassDEP is requiring Wheelabrator Saugus to comply with the 150 ppm NOx limit, and I am extremely pleased that the agency will hold Wheelabrator Saugus to the same standards for emissions as other incinerators across the Commonwealth,”Vincent (D-

Councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner: Ward 6 candidate Nicholas Moulaison Sr.

By Alexis Mikulski

F

or this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner, Ward 6 candidate Nicholas Moulaison Sr. is featured. In the Nov. 5 election he will face off against one other opponent, Ricky Serino, as incumbent Charlie Patch announced his resignation earlier this year. Moulaison stresses the importance of working to-

gether, and aims to always ďŹ nd common ground and solutions for residents of Revere.

Q: What is your hometown?

A: I grew up in East Boston and currently reside in Revere.

Q: What is your experience?

A: I went to a trade school for a couple of years, and am currently the chairman for the

Revere Conservation Committee. I have been on the committee for ďŹ ve years and have been chairman for the last year and a half.

Q: Why do you want to be a member of City Council?

A: My whole life has been about helping people, and I hope to do the same as a city councillor. I have taught youth

sports for over 25 years, and cofounded a nonproďŹ t called Recovery thoughts Inc. It is a nonproďŹ t based out of Revere that helps spread education about drug and alcohol addiction.

Q: What is your biggest accomplishment?

A: I would say my children.

I have seven children and ďŹ ve grandchildren, with one currently on the way.

Q: What is the biggest issue the city is currently facing?

A: Over development and traffic. They pretty much go hand and hand. Both are a big issue in the city right now.

Q: Do you have a proposed solution for this?

A: I have a couple of them. A lot of the roads and streets are owned by the state, so we need to have state oďŹ&#x192;cials sit down with us and start a plan. Another idea I have is something called smart lights. It is something that has been utilized in major cities like New York and Chicago, and helps majorly cut down on traďŹ&#x192;c.

Q: Why do you think voter participation is so essential in local elections?

A: Every citizen is aďŹ&#x20AC;ected by who is in oďŹ&#x192;ce, so if you want a say about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in the city, you need to register to vote. It is the best way to make changes and get the city to operate the way it should.

Q: What makes Revere such a great place to live?

A: It is far enough away from Boston where there are parts that feel like the country, but also close enough to the city.

It has Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest public beach and you are so close to Downtown Boston.

ne team was opportunistic; the other was mistake-prone. The Revere Patriots proved to be the former, and that materialized into a 4013 rout of the Saugus Sachems last Saturday at Stackpole Field.

It was Revere’s first away game of the season while Saugus was playing its second straight home game.

The Patriots remained undefeated on the early season at 4-0, and the Sachems stayed winless at 0-4. The events of last Saturday’s game were evidence of why the teams are on opposite sides of the spectrum thus far this season.

Just minutes into the contest, Revere running back Jonathan Murphy turned the corner for touchdown runs of 43 and 23 yards to give the Patriots a quick 13-0 lead. The Sachems received a lift when Marvens Jean returned a kickoff 80 yards to make it 13-7, but the Patriots responded immediately by marching 80 yards, culminating in a short TD plunge by RB Joe Llanos for a 20-7 lead.

It appeared Saugus was in its way to making it a contest when it drove deep into Revere territory in the final minutes of the first half. That’s when things went south for the Sachems. Quarterback Christian Correia, filling in for injured starter Mason Nickolas, attempted to pass while being hit, and a floater ended up being intercepted and returned for a score by Llanos.

It only got worse for Saugus on its ensuing drive. Deep inside their own five yard line, the Sachems fumbled in the end zone, and the ball was recovered by Revere. Suddenly it was a 34-7 Patriots lead with an entire half remaining.

“We struggled all game. We were in a position to make this a better ball game, but that 100 seconds before the half really changed the momentum of the game,” Saugus head coach Steve Cummings told the press afterwards. “[Behind] 34-7 [instead of] 20-14 is a big difference, and it didn’t take that long for it to happen.”

The Sachems engineered another strong drive to open the third quarter, but that ended in an interception inside Revere territory. That play set the stage for a long Revere march that ended with an eight-yard Llanos TD run and a 40-7 lead.

A late Jean score put Saugus on the board one last time and accounted for the final margin.

20 Patriots points. Revere head coach Lou Cicatelli said success on defense is a crucial aspect of his team’s attack. “I’m a defensive guy. Defense sets the tone, it always does,” he told the press after the game. “But the way our offense is playing, we know if we can give up less than 20 points a game we’re going to win football games. We’re that confident.”

Revere will try to keep its perfect season going, but that will be a challenge when it travels to face undefeated Lynn English on Saturday at 1 p.m.“Right now

the focus is to stay healthy. If we can do that – keep coming to practices and work harder – the schedule gets tougher now. We have English and then Marblehead [also undefeated entering this week]. We’re going to find out what we’re really made of.”

Saugus will try to enter the victory column when it travels to face another winless team, Salem, Friday night (scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff ). The Witches have had a rough go through their first four games, having been outscored by a combined 18924 margin.

Patriots volleyball team earns 10th win, loses to LC

By Greg Phipps

B

ack-to-back wins over Winthrop and Saugus last week lifted the Revere High School volleyball team to the 10-win plateau and a spot in the playoffs just 11 matches into the season. But the Patriots received a wakeup call on Tuesday.

A very formidable Lynn Classical squad visited Revere for a contest on Tuesday and proceeded to sweep the Patriots, 3-0, and improve its record to 11-2. Meanwhile, Revere lost for just the second time this season, dropping to 10-2 overall.

All three sets were close, and the biggest frustration for the Patriots is that they held leads late in two of the sets before the Rams rallied to steal them both. Ahead 22-18 in game one, Revere could not muster another point as Classical reeled off seven straight points for a 25-22 victory.

Game three was almost a carbon copy of the first set.

The Patriots appeared ready to force the match to a fourth game, leading 23-19. That’s when the Rams staged another comeback, this time scoring six consecutive points to ice

the game and the match, 2523. Classical prevailed by a 2521 margin in the second set.

“Classical’s style of volleyball is not traditional. They rely on the other team making more mistakes, and we did,” said Revere head coach Lianne O’Hara. “Fortunately, we can learn from those mistakes and improve when we see them again on the 22nd

gus the next day. In the Winthrop match, Olivia Winsor and Isabella Martinez combined for 20 kills, and Tracy Gutierrez, Martinez, Alexis Iacoviello and Gianna Mahoney each contributed four aces.

The first three sets were decided by two points, with the Patriots winning games one and three, 25-23. Winthrop prevailed, 27-25, in the sec-

in Lynn.”

The Patriots had little time to dwell on Tuesday’s defeat as they played Greater Boston League foe Somerville on Wednesday. Revere stood at 5-0 in league play entering Wednesday’s tilt.

A hard-fought 3-1 win over Winthrop last Monday, Sept.

30, was followed by a much less stressful 3-0 sweep of Sau-

ond game. Revere was able to pull away for a 25-16 gamefour win.

Two 11-point victories and a six-point triumph in the other game accounted for the win over Saugus. The Patriots qualified for the playoffs with the victory. David Del Rio finished with eight service aces while Lynzie Anderson, Winsor and Martinez combined for 16 kills.

“Cleanliness for Oneness” drive held at Revere Beach O

n October 6, the community of the Sant Nirankari Mission (SNM) Boston got together to hold a “Cleanliness for Oneness” drive.

At this time of the year, around Gandhi Ji’s birthday, the SNM promotes cleanliness drives throughout India. The SNM has been a Brand Ambassador of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan since 2015 and was presented the “Urban Sanitation Hurrah”award in 2017. The

cleanliness drives in India have been very effective not only in their stated purpose, but also in giving a shining example of the way the SNM community works together for the common good.

This idea has inspired many SNM branches in the United States to do the same.

The SNM-Boston branch held its cleanliness drive at Revere Beach. With the help of the Massachusetts Department of Con-

Volunteers with Mr. Millard of Mass Parks.

servation & Recreation and the 40 volunteers from SNM-Boston, the beautiful sands of Revere beach were cleaned. The

event was motivated by many of the younger volunteers who are aware of the climate change on our Earth. It was a great

bonding experience for all to work together for a cleaner and greener world. What blesses One, blesses All.

Century 21 Revere President Lou Markakis thanked Governor Charlie Baker for not only keeping his veterans’promise, but delivering it, and Massachusetts Department of Veterans’ Services Secretary Francisco Ureña for helping to move it forward, calling Ward 2 City Councillor Ira Novoselsky,“the greatest councillor this ward has ever seen.”

said, it’s a nice and quiet house.

Tenant Deloreen Kanoa, who also served in the Army, said she can now relax after a stress-

ful move from Everett.

Governor Charlie Baker said the state’s commitment to veterans, which he identified as a nonpartisan issue, is second to none, as Massachusetts is the only commonwealth that employs veterans’ service officers in every city and town.

Massachusetts Department of Veterans’ Services Secretary Francisco Ureña congratulated Ward 2 City Councillor Ira Novoselsky.

Ward 2 City Councillor Ira Novoselsky said the 30-unit veterans housing complex, the first veterans housing in Revere since the Korean conflict, features commercial space, a police substation, an outdoor patio and a community room.

BIC gives Home Pride Award to the Silva family

W

ith fall in the air, we honored the Adriano Silva family with the Beachmont Home Pride Award on Sunday, October 6. Adriano, his wife Beatrice and two children moved from Lynn to Unity Avenue in May of this year. The Beachmont Improvement Committee (BIC) was working on a road mural project on Unity Avenue with Neighborways when we spotted this cute little house decorated with a fall theme. Unity Avenue is not a frequently traveled road as it’s a dead end and quite a narrow, steep road. You might

never traverse that way; however, here we were.

Adriano is a very personable young man of Brazilian descent.

I was excited to hear that he is a chef in the soon-to-be-opened Dryft Restaurant on Ocean Avenue. I asked him what his specialty is, and he said, “Everything really, but I guess I would say seafood.” We are making our reservation!

It is especially nice to welcome a new family into our Beachmont family. We wish them the best, and know that they will keep up the good work.

OBITUARIES Pamela A. (Martin) Mahoney

Passed away unexpectedly while on vacation with her two daughters in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 71 years old.

Pam was born in Winthrop and was raised in East Boston and Revere. She attended Revere schools and is an alumna of Revere High School, Class of 1966. Pam continued her education at Wilfred Beauty Academy and became a Hairstylist. She followed her passion and had a career that spanned over 40 years in the industry.

Throughout her long career, she worked in Boston, Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop and was also the resident Hairstylist at the Jack Satter House in Revere. Over the years, Pam made countless friendships; she was more like family, not just a hairstylist.

As a young, single mother of 3, she raised her family in Revere and later in life she moved to Malden. She provided for herself and her children with a great sense of pride.

Her witty personality and comedic sense of humor drew people towards her. While working from her home at times, her clients usually had a meal to enjoy as well. There were many times when Pam extended her kindness to someone who couldn’t afford to have their hair done and she would do their hair for an event. She was loved by so many who knew her and was considered a second Mom to many of her children’s friends. Pam was a woman who was genuine, kind and true. Her actions spoke for themselves; she lived her life as a “Giver” and if you were her friend, then you were a friend for life.

Her family recounts the many happy times they all shared together, celebrating holidays, birthdays, significant life events and the wonderful meals she had prepared over the years. Although her passion was being a hairstylist, her love was her family. Her daughters were her best friends and she adored every minute of being a mother and Grammie to her grandchildren.

She is the cherished & loving mother of John C. Doria & wife Veronica of Manchester, NH., Michelle A. Campbell of Bradford & her late Husband Sean J. Campbell, & Tina L. Yahiaoui & husband Eric of Methuen. She is the adored Grammie of Trevor D. Campbell & Tanner B. Campbell, both of Bradford,

Emma R. Yahiaoui of Methuen, Angelina N. Doria, Giovanni A. Doria, both of Manchester, NH & Evan M. Yahiaoui of Methuen. She is the beloved daughter of the late Albert & Louise (Pisano) Martin, sister of the late Denise Martin, dear niece of Dorothy Minichiello of Saugus and several late aunts & uncles. She is also lovingly survived by several nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, and countless friends & extended family.

Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Friday, October 11 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., in the Vertuccio and Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rt. 107) Revere.

THE REVERE ADVOCATEâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Friday, October 11 , 2019

Flu Vaccines for Seniors That Provide Better Protection Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the ďŹ&#x201A;u shots designed for older adults? I got sick last winter after getting a standard ďŹ&#x201A;u shot and would like to ďŹ nd out if the senior-speciďŹ c ďŹ&#x201A;u vaccine is worth getting.

Approaching 80 Dear Approaching, There are actually two diďŹ&#x20AC;erent types of ďŹ&#x201A;u shots available to people age 65 and older. These FDA-approved vaccines are designed to oďŹ&#x20AC;er extra protection beyond what a standard ďŹ&#x201A;u shot provides, which is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a great risk of developing dangerous ďŹ&#x201A;u complications.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that during the 2018-2019 ďŹ&#x201A;u season, up to 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died because of the ďŹ&#x201A;u â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most of whom were seniors.

You also need to be aware that these senior-speciďŹ c ďŹ&#x201A;u shots cannot guarantee that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the ďŹ&#x201A;u this season, but they will lower your risk. And if you do happen to get sick, you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get as sick as you would without it. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more information on the two vaccines: Fluzone High-Dose: Approved for U.S. use in 2009, the Fluzone High-Dose is a high-potency vaccine that contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular ďŹ&#x201A;u shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. This vaccine, according to a 2013 clinical trial, was 24 percent more eďŹ&#x20AC;ective than the regular-dose shot at preventing ďŹ&#x201A;u in seniors.

FLUAD: Available in the U.S. since 2016, the FLUAD vaccine contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. In a 2012 Canadian observational study, FLUAD was 63 percent more eďŹ&#x20AC;ective than a regular ďŹ&#x201A;u shot. The CDC does not recommend one vaccination over the other, and to date, there have been no studies comparing the two vaccines.

You should also know that both the Fluzone High-Dose and FLUAD can cause more of the mild side eďŹ&#x20AC;ects that can occur with a standard-dose ďŹ&#x201A;u shot, like pain or tenderness where you got the shot, muscle aches, headache or fatigue. And neither vaccine is recommended for seniors who are allergic to chicken eggs, or those who have had a severe reaction to a ďŹ&#x201A;u vaccine in the past.

If you are allergic to eggs you can ask for a Flucelvax or FluBlok shot. Neither of these vaccines uses chicken eggs in their manufacturing process.

All of these vaccines are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays.

Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it.

The CDC recommends that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at diďŹ&#x20AC;erent times, protect against diďŹ&#x20AC;erent strains of the bacteria to provide maximum protection.

If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 ďŹ rst, followed by Pneumovax 23 at least one year later. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already been vaccinated with Pneumovax 23, wait at least one year before getting the Prevnar 13.

Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least one year apart.

To locate a vaccination site that oďŹ&#x20AC;ers any of these shots, visit VaccineFinder.org and type in your location.

fects his constituents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The distance between the water and Mills Avenue is less than 500 feet, for instance,â&#x20AC;? Powers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so I think 1,500 yards is excellent.â&#x20AC;?

Ward 2 City Councillor Ira Novoselsky said he was first approached by a constituent about this issue approximately 10 years ago when he heard gunshots at 5:30 a.m. along Ocean Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fast forward to today, it still falls right in my neighborhood,â&#x20AC;? Novoselsky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of it.â&#x20AC;?

Councillor-at-Large Steven

Morabito echoed a similar sentiment, saying that four years ago he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear one complaint, but the number of calls he received over the last three years is alarming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not taking anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights away,â&#x20AC;? Morabito said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just saying our location isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a place for it.â&#x20AC;?

City Council President Arthur Guinasso said he is glad to see the legislation moving forward to the state delegation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to enforce it through placing a ďŹ ne,â&#x20AC;? Guinasso said, adding that ďŹ nes could range from $2,000 to $5,000.
