he Commonwealth of Massachusetts awarded the City of Revere a $28,000 recycling grant, as part of a statewide recycling initiative, the Baker-Polito administration announced earlier this month.

According to an official press release, these funds will “maximize recycling, composition and waste reduction effort” around the Bay State. A total of $2.9 million was awarded to 262 municipalities in an effort to help communities decrease their waste stream and increase their recycling attempts.

In a statement taken from the press release, Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito said, “These grants provide the funding necessary for communities to tailor their individual recycling programs to the needs of their residents.”

The payments range from $2,100 to $97,500, with 219 communities qualifying for the “Re-

cycling Dividends Program,” an organization that provides payment to certain municipalities that have implemented specific waste reduction, reuse and recycling programs and policies.

Established in 2014, this organization is the newest initiative under the Sustainable Materials Recovery Program of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), which was created by the Green Communities Act of 2008.

The City of Revere is a part of this program, and the 49 communities not included in this program will still be given a “smallscale award.”

Currently, Revere collects around 300 tons a month of recycling through RM/Greenworks, with a disposal cost of $79 a ton.

Revere’s recycling program consists of the disposal of glass bottles, jars, plastic microwave trays and containers, labels,

Former Airline Gate Agent Pleads Guilty to Cheating Airline Ticketing System

B

OSTON – A Chelsea woman pleaded guilty today in federal court in Boston in connection with using her position as an airline gate agent to convert low cost flights to more expensive flights and destinations for friends, family and acquaintances.

Tiffany Jenkins, 31, pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud. She was arrested and charged in November 2018. U.S. Senior District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf scheduled sentencing for Jan. 21, 2019.

As a gate agent, Jenkins had access to the airline’s computer reservation database and had the ability to use a special code, referred to as an involuntary exchange or “INVOL,” to change flights for customers at no additional cost. This code enables agents to change flights for customers who miss their flights or experience a death in the family.

During a 15-month period, from approximately July 1, 2016, through Sept. 27, 2017, Jenkins

executed approximately 505 involuntary ticket exchanges for more than 100 different passengers. Many of those exchanges occurred after the passenger was first booked on domestic flights at one of the airline company’s lowest available fares— often, roundtrip flights between Las Vegas, Nev., and Long Beach, Calif. A short time later, Jenkins exchanged those tickets for a completely different city pair, generally involving much more expensive international locations, for friends, family and acquaintances.

The charge of wire fraud provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross loss or gain, whichever is greater. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

A message to the 6-0 Revere High Patriots

Announcement of John R. Correggio for Revere City Councillor-at-Large

Jim Del Gaizo

Dear RHS Patriots, I’ve been following your season from long distance (I am back in my South Florida home), but I get the Boston Globe, and it has been an exciting run to see you guys 6-0!

Please remember that while my last 2 years at RHS we went 15-1-1, we NEVER started a season 6-0; that is something to feel proud of and continue building on. The whole community supports you! You guys are playing the purest form of football, representing your City; nothing is better than that. We are all so very proud of you.

Mickey Casoli, who took me with him several times over the

years on Labor Day to talk to the squad, would also be so very proud! You guys meant an awful lot to him and his pride would be flowing big time!

Just remember, we all played in an immigrant community.

Mickey and my old coach, Silvio Cella were probably first generation born in America. My squad was made up of a lot of second generation Americans.

We ALL HAVE SHARED that heritage. Wear it proudly, you guys are doing the same I’m sure, and the City is truly lucky to be represented by you.

To Coach Lou Cicatelli, I wish

Powers announces bid for re-election in Ward 5

G

reetings. My name is John Powers, and it has been my honor to represent the citizens of Ward 5 on the Revere City Council.

Today I am proud to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Ward 5 Council seat. I am grateful beyond words for the trust you have placed in me over the yeas. I humbly ask for your support again, so that I may continue to serve you and that we may, together, continue the progress we have begun in the great city of Revere.

Please allow me to tell you a little about myself and some of the accomplishments of which I’m proudest. I am a lifelong Revere resident, a homeowner, and a taxpayer. I have been elected by my colleagues to three terms as President of the City Council. As well, I have been appointed to five terms as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which takes a leading role in setting the city’s annual budget, Chairman of the Public Safety Committee, which has the important function of providing oversight of the Police and Fire Departments.

I pride myself in serving as a full-time City Councilor. I enjoy spending every day working on an important issue or providing constituent services. If you see fit to re-elect me, I pledge to continue to be accessible to all of our citizens, easily reachable and responsive to anyone who needs assistance, has a question or concern, or just want his or her voice heard.

Thus far in 2019, I’ve been pleased to secure tangible results on several issues that are important to us: I am happy to say that Wonderland Park race track – which had become a safe-

ty hazard and an eyesore and which had been taking up valuable commercial real estate has now been demolished.

I am happy to announce that a new, much needed fire station will be built in Ward 5. This has been a priority of mine since first being elected. It will service the Point of Pines, Revere B each Boulevard, Oak Island, lower Revere Street and the entire city when necessary.

I also pushed for a zoning change at the old boat yard on Mills Avenue, no longer can large apartment buildings be constructed at that site.

Gibson Park, Oak Island Park and Butler Circle have been completely renovated. Indeed, I have made important issues a priority throughout my tenure on the City Council.

I strongly supported the city’s school building program, including the construction, of the new Paul Revere School and the Rumney Marsh Academy, both of which serve the children of Ward 5.

I spearheaded the push for major drainage improvements on Arcadia, York, Argyle, and El-

Eminating from The Clubhouse in Chelsea...

A Tradition Continues

lerton Streets, and an improved sewer line at the rear of Revere Beach Boulevard. I also ensured that the city re-relined several thousand feet of sewer and drainage.

We now have new water mains on the Boulevard, and on Rice Avenue and Arcadia Street, to provide increased water pressure for residents in those areas.

I also worked successfully for construction of a new sewerage pump station on John Avenue, improvements to the Jackson Street pup station, and the construction of twin culverts under Sagamore and Shawmut Streets.

I also attacked the flooding problem through zoning changes by working for a prohibition on construction of multiple family homes on 3,000 square foot lots in flood z ones, thereby eliminating a building practice that put further stress on areas prone to flooding.

These are just a few of the many issues I fought for on behalf of the residents of Ward 5 and the en tire city. There are many other issues, projects, and improvements for which we must still fight for in the very near future.

Revere is at an exciting time in its history. The Direction we take and the choices we make in the coming years will determine whether we reach our economic, commercial, and civic potential.

I believe my record and my experience, my leadership qualities and work ethic, and my vision for continued progress in economic development, public safety, and capital improvements, make me ideally positioned to continue to serve you and our city.

I humbly ask you, Ward five residents, for your vote on Tuesday, November 5.

Restaurant Hours Monday – Wednesday 11:00 A.M. – 9:30 P.M. Thursday – Saturday 11:00 A.M. – 10:30 P.M. Sunday 12:00 P.M. – 9:30 P.M. Lounge open until 1 a.m.

evere welcomes Amazon.

Revere welcomes the future. And I am proud to have been the Mayor for the entire process, starting with securing over $3 million in back taxes to the re-zoning of the site to be the perfect fit for a company to bring hundreds of jobs for our residents.

The announcement last week that Amazon, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious companies, will occupy the 830,000 square-foot former Necco site proves that this Administration’s foresight, action and patience are the clear path to a future of economic vitality here in Revere.

The history of this particular project is a prime example of the work we have done and the steps taken around smart development. Our formula is straightforward: assess the situation and develop a plan; execute the plan; and stay focused on results.

When the Necco Candy Co. arrived in Revere in 2003, the company was afforded special tax dispensation, a Tax Increment Fi-

nancing (TIF) arrangement that included stipulations regarding employment numbers and tax payments to the city.

Necco failed to fulfill the stipulations, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts withdrew Necco’s TIF qualification in 2011.

Nevertheless, the City Council voted to continue the tax break, determined to keep the company in the city.

But Necco began to whither in 2012, and fell deeper and deeper in debt to the City of Revere by failing to pay its full share of tax and water bills in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Assessing the Situation, and Developing a Plan In the early stage of my Administration, we confronted Necco and insisted that their delinquency would not be tolerated on my watch. Necco sold the real estate on American Legion Highway in April of 2017, and we set to work.

First, we made sure that the new property owners, Atlantic Management and VMD Companies, paid the property tax and water bills that Necco had accrued. That amounted to an im-

mediate payment to the City of Revere of $3,056,995 in tax and penalties.

Next, working with my Economic Development team, we devised a zoning strategy clearly delineating the permitted uses at the Necco site that would attract a new kind of business to Revere. To that end, we collaborated with the new property owners to draft zoning legislation that imagined a new era of commercial endeavor in Revere. This unambiguous zoning amendment signaled Revere’s welcoming call for modern commercial activity.

Executing the Plan When the City Council adopted our zoning proposal to designate the American Legion Highway site as a newly defined Industrial Park District, we envisioned a future use of the property that would be worthy of its exquisite location.

Working in close partnership with the property owners, we embarked on a careful plan to attract a prime tenant to Revere, • One that would embody our

Massachusetts Senate unanimously passes Student Opportunity Act O n October 3 the Massachusetts Senate passed (39-0) the Student Opportunity Act, an unprecedented $1.5 billion new investment in Massachusetts K-12 public education. Assuming inflation, over time the bill could provide an estimated

$2.2 billion. The bill significantly helps school districts that serve high concentrations of low-income students. At the same time, school districts across the Commonwealth will benefit from updates to the existing funding formula, along with in-

creased state investment in other vital education aid programs, such as transportation, school construction and renovation and special education.

“With the passage of the Student Opportunity Act, the Senate is reaffirming its commit-

ment to the idea that providing a quality public education is not a luxury – it is both our greatest responsibility and our greatest opportunity as a state,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “I am proud of the diligent and thoughtful work done by Senator Jason Lewis, the education committee and the Senate, as well as the tireless work and advocacy done by students, parents, teachers, administrators, advocates and others to bring this bill to fruition. Massachusetts made a commitment to public education in the 18th century, and today we are much closer to bringing that commitment into the 21st century to meet the needs of students today. I look forward to this bill passing the House and becoming law.”

“This bill reestablishes the Legislature’s commitment to public education for every child, no matter their zip code or income level,” said Senator Joseph A. Boncore (D-Winthrop). “By recalculating metrics, this bill invests in low-income communities and prioritizes the needs of the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable students. I am proud to

support a bill that ensures our schools receive the Chapter 70 funding they need.”

Taking into account these new investments, policy updates and the needs of all types of districts, the Student Opportunity Act creates new ways to monitor and measure progress, support effective approaches to closing opportunity gaps, and deliver results for all students.

The Student Opportunity Act fully implements the recommendations of the 2015 Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC), ensuring that the schoolfunding formula provides adequate and equitable funding to all districts across the state. The bill provides an estimated $1.4 billion in new Chapter 70 aid over and above inflation when fully implemented over the next seven years. The bill modernizes the K-12 education funding and policy landscape in four areas: • Estimates school districts’employee and retiree health care costs using up to date health insurance trend data collected by the state’s Group Insurance Commission (GIC) • Increases special education enrollment and cost assumptions to more accurately reflect district enrollment • Increases funding for English learners (EL) that is differentiated by grade level to reflect the greater resources required to educate older EL students • Addresses the needs of districts educating high concentrations of students from low-income households by: • Providing additional funding based on the share of lowincome students in each district; districts educating the largest percentage of low-income students will receive an additional increment equal to 100% of the base foundation • Returning the definition of low-income to 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, as opposed to the 133 percent level that has been used in recent years In addition to implementing the FBRC’s recommended for-

Cooperative agreement helps fund CAPIC mission T

his week, Mayor Brian Arrigo – along with Community Action Programs Inter-City (CAPIC) Executive Director Robert Repucci and Councillor-atLarge Anthony Zambuto – announced the signing of a Grant Agreement between the City of Revere and CAPIC. This funding will enable CAPIC to assist at-risk residents with identifying housing, and it will provide human services to achieve selfsufficiency and advance overall quality of life.

“CAPIC has been a tremendous partner to Revere, and has provided invaluable services to our residents when they need it most,” said Mayor Arrigo. “By entering into a Grant Agreement, this will allow CAPIC to enhance their level of support to our residents, and most important, ensure that funding is readily available to provide immediate relief during an emergency situation.”

Championed by Councillor Zambuto, the City Council unanimously approved a motion to establish an Emergency Fund for CAPIC to respond to the needs Revere residents. The scope of services will include distributing funds to assist at-risk families who are in immediate need

“This is a historic time for the City of Revere and for CAPIC …

Slow progress in Greater Boston on ADUs

By Amy Dain

F

or decades, housing experts and planners have been advocating for cities and towns to allow for the owners of single family houses to add Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to their properties.

Skim any municipal master plan or housing plan, and you will likely find the recommendation. I know, because I read all of the plans for Greater Boston in 2004, and I read them again in 2018.

Greater Boston needs much more housing. The most conservative policy for adding more housing to neighborhoods, without changing the neighborhoods, is to allow ADUs. An ADU is a secondary apartment that can be rented out, on the property of an owner-occupied single family house – that appears from the street as a single family house, not a two-family.

ADUs are virtually invisible and highly dispersed across neighborhoods. The owners of ADUs live on the property, so the risk of neglect that people might associate with rental properties is minimal. The same goes for loud parties. (Which is not to say that it is fair to restrict other types of rental property.)

ADUs provide needed rental housing in residential neighborhoods, and the apartments tend to be relatively affordable for being modestly sized. The rents pro-

vide a stream of income for the homeowners. No new public investments in infrastructure are needed to serve the new housing. And the typical size limits on ADUs make teardowns for redevelopment less likely.

During a housing crisis, after concerted advocacy over a span of decades: Only 37 out of 100 cities and towns in Greater Boston allow for ADUs to be put in and rented out. Another 31 municipalities also allow them, but only for occupancy by relatives of the homeowners, or caretakers, or the elderly; the units are supposed to be removed when the in-laws move out.

Many of the 37 municipalities highly restrict the houses eligible for ADUs. For example, Manchester allows ADUs, but only on exceptionally large lots, and only in houses built before 1984. In Dedham, ADUs can be added to houses where the lot is 10 percent bigger than the minimum lot size, but most of the houses in Dedham are on lots smaller than the zoning requires. Dedham has more than 6,000 single family houses, but the town receives only a few applications per year to add ADUs. In Medfield, ADUs are allowed in houses built before 1938 that have a minimum floor area of 2,000 square feet. In Weston, ADUs can be put into houses that have at least 3,000 square feet. In Belmont, ADUs are only allowed in

detached historic structures, such as antique carriage houses.

Where allowed (as rentals or as in-law apartments), ADUs get permitted at very low rates, just 2.5 permits granted per year per municipality, due largely to the restrictive zoning.

If the region were to average five permits per municipality per year across 100 municipalities over a 10-year period, ADUs could provide five thousand apartments, dispersed among 538,000 single

In 2014, I received a Governor's Citation in recognition of efforts to engage local residents in rebuilding the playgrounds at DiSalvo Park and Louis Pasteur Park and for dedicated service to the City of Revere. I received this recognition for implementing playground community builds which led to the Executive Office of Environmental and Energy Affairs adoption into the statewide PARC program as a suggested implementation strategy for future applicants. In 2016, I was appointed by Speaker DeLeo to serve as a Commissioner on the Commonwealth’s Asian American Commission, which I continue to serve on today.

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

A: There are a lot of different issues facing our city from traffic to development. All those challenges, and especially our inability to solve them, come from one thing: Not enough people in Revere participate in our community and public decision-making.

Q: Do you have a proposed solution for this?

A: I believe that the only way to get more people involved is by making Revere’s public decisionmaking process more respectful, more diverse, more accessible, and more transparent. I have six actions that we can take as city

time including an older brother he never knew about who had escaped the Khmer Rouge but never made it to a refugee camp.

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

A: The decisions that really affect our lives get made at City Hall. Traffic, development, economic growth, the city’s culture, the city government is the major player in all those issues. I talk a lot about how we need to reach out to the neighboring communities and get more done at the State House. At the end of the day, in order to do those big regional things, we need to have a more ambitious and more active city government, and only voters can demand that.

Q: Where is your favorite place you have ever travelled and why?

A: Cambodia. I didn’t just visit, I actually lived there for two years from 2005-2007 to work with refugee returnees and advocates to create a reintegration program for these refugees who never set foot, and for those without family ties in Cambodia to assist with temporary housing, food, and documentation. Earlier this year, I returned to Cambodia with my best friend who was born in a refugee camp, raised in Revere, and received his US citizenship last year. He had never set foot in Cambodia and for the first time he did with me over a two-week period where he met surviving family members for the first

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

A: Our diversity is the number one thing that makes Revere a great place to live – you see it on the street, in our schools, and most importantly for me, in our restaurants. Here in Revere there are over 17 varieties of different ethnic cuisines available. In addition to food, we have Revere Beach, three Blue Line stops, and we’re just a few minutes by train to Boston.

course, this would not solve the housing crisis; it is merely the most conservative and incremental reform.

Every municipality should allow for ADUs to be added to owner-oc-

cupied single family houses and to be rented out. The zoning should not restrict ADUs only to old, large houses on large lots or to antique accessory buildings.

Municipalities are very gradually moving to liberalize zoning for ADUs. Revising zoning regulations is a long, labor-intensive process that involves holding hearings, drafting language and securing two-thirds approval of the town meeting or city council. And it is not as if ADUs are the only item on a planning board’s agenda.

Under a proposal before the state legislature, town meetings and city councils could revise their zoning rules to allow ADUs – by majority vote, instead of the current two-thirds threshold. Such a reform would help a lot. Another option could be for the state directly to allow homeowners to add ADUs, and let local leaders direct their attention to more controversial housing decisions that demand long-term planning.

â&#x20AC;˘ One that would generate substantial employment opportunities for our residents; and â&#x20AC;˘ One whose investment in our city would symbolize a new Revere, a city at long last capitalizing on its God-given location through forward-thinking leadership and bold aspiration.

Staying Focused on Results Along with the property ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principals, Joe Zink of Atlantic and Jim Vitas of VMD, we vowed to be patient. We resisted overtures that sought to fractionalize the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 830,000 square feet. We were confident that our new zoning legislation had set the table, and we were confident that in greater Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torrid economic climate, our patience would be rewarded.

Yes, we had set the table. And today the success of our plan is unequivocal.

Now we welcome into Revere a new resident that will fulfill the goals we set two years ago. Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival in Revere symbolizes a leap into Revereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

This single real estate transaction will invigorate the local economy and promote Revere as a community where prominent businesses are welcome and can thrive.

Our City: Overcoming the Past, Growing Into Our Future

In the last dozen years, Revere was staggered by the closure of its largest employers, Wonderland and Suffolk Downs. Market Basket became our leading business, and even that came only after the City of Revere promised a million dollars in tax concessions.

And while many political voices declared their desire to expand the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial base, progress was meager, at best.

My Administration undertook the work to actually create the environment to make commercial development a reality. As a result of our doing the homework, of creating a plan and implementing it, Amazon quickly will become the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest employer and commercial taxpayer. A conservative estimate suggests that Amazon will employ some 600 people at its new location. Revereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energetic residents can welcome the chance to work close to home with a company that sets the pace in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldwide economy.

And while Amazon already is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest companies, the dynamic marketplace and shifting consumer habits suggest that the future beckons Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuing growth. Today, less than 12 per cent of consumer transactions take place online. But the trend is upward, as a new generation

embraces e-commerce as their preferred way of shopping. And while Amazon will fill 830,000 square feet in its new Revere home, the site provides room for future expansion. And that bodes well for Revere.

Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival heralds a new age of commercial activity in Revere. We can anticipate that Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival will stimulate a new dimension of interest in our city.

Along with the imminent development of Suffolk Downs, other vacant parcels of land in Revere will take on a fresh appeal.

Dreams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as a commuter rail stop at Wonderland and a Red Line-Blue Line connection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will draw closer to reality.

Take a look at our city: â&#x20AC;˘ Modern development has turned unsightly weed-strewn vacant land and surface parking lots into a bustling and enlivened oceanfront. â&#x20AC;˘ New hotels and restaurants are under construction. â&#x20AC;˘ Our thriving economy bolsters our capacity for substantial infrastructure improvements. â&#x20AC;˘ Our residents are demonstrating their pride in this city as we emerge into a dynamic and flourishing neighbor to the City of Boston.

This is a modernized, robust, and prosperous Revere. This is a Revere long imagined.

Patriots go 6-0 with big win at Marblehead, 31-27

By Greg Phipps

I

f there was still any doubt about the legitimacy of the Revere Patriots great start this season, it was put completely to rest last Friday night at Piper Field in Marblehead. A late controversial touchdown by running back Joe Llanos in the final minute of play got Revere over the top for a 31-27 triumph over the previouslyundefeated Marblehead Magicians.

Marblehead had not lost a regular season game on its home field since 2012, which made the win even more significant for Revere head coach Lou Cicatelli and his squad.

"They get bigger and bigger," he told the press after it ended. "We tell the kids each week that the games get bigger and bigger. Last week was a huge win (an overtime win over Lynn English). But this one is what it comes down to.

We know Marblehead's a good football team. They win championships year after year. We had to play our A-game tonight."

The contest began in great fashion for Revere when Jonathan Murphy ran 80 yards for a TD on the first play from scrimmage. Murphy ended up with 97 yards rushing while Llanos produced another stellar effort, rambling for 160 yards on 26 attempts. His one-yard score with 49 seconds left in the game lifted the Patriots to victory after the Magicians had stormed back from a 10-point

deficit to take the lead.

Early on, an interception set up Marblehead for a score that tied the contest at seven apiece in the second quarter. It remained 7-7 into halftime before the hosts took a 13-7 edge when they returned the opening second-half kickoff for a touchdown.

A nine-yard TD run from Llanos tied it at 13 and kicker Rayan Riazi's 38-yard field goal put Revere in front, 16-13, later in the third period. The Patriots increased the advantage to 10 when Llanos scored his third TD from four yards out early in the fourth. Ahead 23-13 in the fourth, the Patriots saw the lead evaporate quickly.

Fourteen straight points by the Magicians put the hosts back in front, 27-23. But as they have done all season, the Patriots responded to the adverse

turn of events by marching downfield and scoring in the final minute to emerge victorious. Llanos's TD gave Revere a 29-27 lead, which became 3127 after he ran in the two-point conversion.

On the final touchdown, the ball came loose and was recovered by Marblehead but it was ruled that Llanos crossed the goal line before the ball came out.

It wouldn't be easy to knock off the Magicians on their home field, and it still took an interception by John Tren in the final seconds to clinch the victory, which improved Revere's mark to 6-0 on the season. Marblehead (51) was ranked No. 8 in Eastern Mass. entering the game and Revere was 15th.

Barring a monumental upset this Friday night against winless Salem (scheduled 6:30 p.m. kickoff ) at Harry Della Russo Stadium, it appears the Patriots will enter the postseason tourney undefeated and holding a No. 1 seeding. Revere opened the season by winning three straight

home games, then notched three victories on the road over

YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUS

Co-personal representatives

By Joseph D. Cataldo

O

ften times when executing a Last Will and Testament, individuals wish to name two children as Co -Personal Representatives of the Estate. Often times, the testator does not want to hurt the feelings of one child by

only naming the other sibling as the Personal Representative. There are other times when the testator does not have children and wishes to name two individuals to serve as Co-Representatives of the estate.

It is often more desirable to have one person serve at a time with at least two backups. This way, there will be no stalemates if the two personal representatives disagree on matters relating to the estate. It is also more efficient for law firms to deal with just one person when it comes to execution of documents;

discussions relating to the estate, correspondence in general, court appearances, etc.

Fur thermore, most banks and other financial institutions will require both Personal Representatives to be present when opening and closing bank accounts. Both signatures will be required. This can turn out to be overly burdensome when you have one Personal Representative that is in his or her later years, suffering from health issues, or is out of state.

If you truly trust one individual,

then selecting that one individual to serve as Personal Representative should be fine. All beneficiaries of the estate are entitled to see the inventory and accounts if they ask for them. All of the beneficiaries are free to ask the Personal Representative of the estate questions relating to the estate. It is in the best interest of the Personal Representative to be transparent in order to keep the beneficiaries fully informed. To not do so is only an invitation for future conflict.

Certainly, you want to choose someone who is trustworthy and capable in these types of matters.

Living reasonably close to the probate court where the Last Will and Testament will be submitted is also a plus. If all of your children are equally trustworthy, equally capable and equally willing to serve, then you might decide to select the oldest child. Children often understand this reason and won’t feel any animosity towards the child selected.

If by chance, you don’t trust any of your children and/or none of them get along, then you could consider choosing a brother or sister to serve as Personal Representative, or some other trusted non-family member.

Following robust debate on the floor, the Senate also adopted several amendments to the Student Opportunity Act related to recovery high schools, MSBA and municipal fiscal challenges related to Chapter 70.

To ensure that education-fund-

ing levels remain adequate, effective and equitable, the legislation also includes forward looking provisions to address additional funding challenges and policy areas. The Student Opportunity Act: • Directs the Department of Revenue (DOR) and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to analyze the method of determining required local contributions in the Chapter 70 school funding formula for the purpose

THE REVERE ADVOCATEâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Friday, October 25 , 2019

Dear Savvy Senior, Where can I ďŹ nd out about alternative transportation services for my 80-year-old mother? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time that she gives up driving, but before she does, we need to ďŹ gure out how sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get around.

Inquiring Son Dear Inquiring, Alternative transportation options for seniors who no longer drive vary widely by community, so whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available to your mom will depend on where she lives. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.

While most urban areas offer seniors a variety of alternative transportation services, the options may be few to none for those living in the suburbs, small towns and rural areas.

Depending on where your mom lives, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rundown of possible solutions that can help her get around, along with some resources to help you locate them.

Family and friends: This is the most often used and favorite option among seniors. So, make a list of all possible candidates your mom can call on, along with their availability and contact information.

Volunteer transportation programs: These are usually run by local nonprofits or religious organizations and provide elderly seniors transportation to doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments, shopping, and more. These services may charge a small fee or accept donations and often operate with a network of volunteer drivers.

Some examples of local transportation programs include Envoy America (EnvoyAmerica. com) that provides senior transportation in 78 cities in Arizona, Texas, Washington, Illinois, New Mexico, Georgia and Pennsylvania. The Independent Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n N e t wo r k (ITNAmerica.org) that serves 14 communities across 12 states.

And SilverRide (SilverRide.com), which serves the San Francisco bay area and Kansas City. To search for volunteer driving programs in your area visit Na tionalVolunteerTransportatio nCenter.org â&#x20AC;&#x201C; click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Map of Volunteer Driver Programs.â&#x20AC;?

Demand response services: Often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;dial-arideâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;elderly and disabled transportation service,â&#x20AC;? these are usually government-funded programs that provide door-todoor transportation services by appointment and usually charge a small fee or donation on a per ride basis. Many use vans and offer accessible services for riders with special needs.

Taxis and rideshare services: While taxis are a viable transportation option in many communities, rideshare services like Uber (Uber.com) and Lyft (Lyft.com), which are widely available, have become more popular among seniors who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive.

To get a ride, your mom could simply use the Uber or Lyft smartphone app, a computer, or she can call a ride-hailing service like Go Go Grandparent (GoGoGrandparent.com). Or, you can make arrangements for her on your smartphone.

Cost will vary depending on your momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location, distance traveled and peak travel time, but rideshare services are usually cheaper than taxis. Uber and Lyft also offer carpooling services that would allow your mom to save money by splitting the tab with other consumers riding the same route. And for seniors with mobility problems, both Uber and Lyft have accessible vehicles that you can request in certain locations.

Hire someone: Consider hiring someone to drive your mom like a neighbor, retiree, high school or college student that has a flexible schedule and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind making a few extra bucks.

You can also hire a senior driving companion through nonmedical home-care agencies, or you can find someone on your own at websites like Care.com or CareLinx.com.

Private business transportation services: Some hospitals, health clinics, senior centers, adult day centers, malls or other businesses may offer transportation for program participants or customers.

Mass transit: Public transportation (buses, trains, subways, etc.) where available, can also be an affordable option and may offer senior reduced rates.

Where to Look To find out what transportation services are available in your momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area contact Rides in Sight (RidesInSight.org, 855-6074337), and the Eldercare Locator (800-677-1116), which will direct you to her area agency on aging for assistance. You should also contact local senior centers, places of worship and retirement communities for other possible options.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Savvy Seniorâ&#x20AC;? book.

CORREGGIO | FROM PAGE 3 over 32 years of service. I am the only candidate who can deliver results for public safety issues and help protect the neighborhoods of Revere.

As a former Revere Firefighter I fully understand the need for public safety in regards to mega apartment buildings that seek special permits to build in the middle of our neighborhoods My years on the Revere School Committee will insure all parents that as a member of the Revere City Council, school budgets will be treated as an investment in education. We need to innovations in the learning process in our schools for all Revere students. As a former Revere City Councillor people know me as a results-oriented pragmatist who is guided by common sense. I am a retired Revere Fire Lieutenant, a retired small business owner and will be your, Full Time Councillor-at-Large.

I am a committee problem solver, with a passion for the needs of ordinary working families. I am seeking to put our neighborhoods first, stop the increase of traffic that has literally divided our city in (2) two. I am guided by common sense, I have always put our kids first, standing for Revereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in education that promotes learning and innovation. We all know we need to expand our tax base but not by destroying our neighborhoods, in doing so.

Never before has your vote for a Revere City Councillor at Large been so important. We are facing decisions that will effect future generations in the proposed 164 acre development of Suffolk Downs.

I will work to fix the broken process that is dividing our city by putting our neighborhoods first.

I would like to publicly thank the Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen, Local 3, the Operating Engineers, Local 4, the Boston Carmen Union, Local 589, the Electrical Workers, Local 222 and the Ironworkers Union, Local 7, for supporting my candidacy for the Revere City Council.

I will support a Revere Resident Job Agreement and Union Labor Mitigation agreement that was not supported by the present City Council.

I respectfully ask you for (1) one of your (5) five votes for the Revere City Council.

Very Truly Yours; John R. Correggio

GRANT | FROM PAGE 1 pumps, wraps and cardboard and paper. In recent years, the city partnered with Simple Recycling to provide free curbside pickup of discarded clothing, textiles and small household items. Additional guidelines for recycling in Revere are listed on Revere.Org and notify residents of the following: Do not crush cans and cartons, always make

sure materials are rinsed and free of food and do not place loose caps in bins.

Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo, who has been an outspoken proponent for new recycling initiatives around the city, believes there are many different ways residents can use their recyclable goods. “In terms of recycling in Revere, we need to commit to compost,” said Rotondo. “We need

to … provide a community compost location where people can come in and bring their trash and recyclables and use it for future fertilizer.”

Scientists have long proved the positive effects of recycling.

There are studies that show it helps to reduce energy usage, reduces the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduces air pollution and water pollution and reduces greenhouse gas emissions

in the environment.

The City of Revere has introduced many new recycling initiatives over the last decade, such as the uniform cart program, which provides residents with 65-gallon carts that helps keep trash off the streets. City officials hope to make recycling easier and more accessible for residents.

While Councillor-at-Large Rotondo believes there is power in

IS YOUR HOME NEXT?

these initiatives, he thinks more can be done. “Everything can be improved and that’s the nature of recycling,” he said. “The grant is for $28,000, and that’s a drop in the hat when you’re talking about the five million used for the trash budget. More is needed in terms of those issues.”

How the city plans to use the new $28,000 recycling grant has yet to be determined.
