FREE STICKERS FOR REMOVAL OF DAMAGED ITEMS

Residents who incurred damage to personal property as a result of flooding that oc-curred after the Jan. 4 snow-storm can obtain up to eight free stickers for the curb-side removal of white goods and “bulky items” through Jan. 26. This stickers can be obtained at the Inspectional Services Department, 249R Broadway (the American Le-gion Building, rear).

City ordinance requires stickers be purchased in ad-vance for the removal of white goods such as washers, refrigerators, stoves, freez-ers, and the like. Stickers are also required for bulky items such as mattresses and fur-niture and other enumerated items.

“We realize that people incurred the loss of multi-ple items in the flood, and we hope that facilitating the

What If Amazon Comes?Local businesses to be impacted

By Sue Ellen Woodcock

Beachmont Roast Beef has been a mainstay on Winthrop Avenue since 1978, but the current own-er only purchased the business two years ago.

A few months ago, he was approached by devel-oper Tom O’Brien of HYM Investments, and given an undisclosed offer to sell his business.

“He made offers to buy me out, but I’m not inter-ested,” said owner Andy Orphanos. “To me it was a low offer. They think I’m not business oriented, but I’m here to stay, and I want the rumors to die.”

Just on the heels of the big news that Boston and Revere are still in the top 20 in the running for Ama-zon HQ2 site, the City Council had another visit from HYM Investments on Monday night, to discuss a zoning overlay district and a zoning map amendment for the Suffolk Downs Overlay District, which covers parts of Revere.

The zoning overlay district includes the Beach-mont portion of the 160-acre site, 40 percent, which lies in Revere that HYM intends to develop whether or not Amazon decides to come to the expansive land

People are really starting to take notice now that Amazon has narrowed down its picks for it’s East Coast headquarters, which includes 161-acre Suffolk Downs site located in East Boston and Revere.

“I’m proud and excited that Boston has made Am-azon’s short list for its HQ2. With a highly educated, technology-friendly workforce, Boston is the perfect place for Amazon to put down roots,” said Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo.

There were originally 238 cities in the pool and now there are 20.

HYM Investments, devel-opers of the former Suffolk Downs site in Beachmont, has been busy making visits to various surrounding commu-nities, sharing its plan, wheth-er or not Amazon makes its new HQ2 in Boston on the former Suffolk Downs site.

Several meetings have hap-pened in East Boston with the Boston Planning and Devel-opment Agency for zoning purposes, and another one is scheduled for East Boston on Jan. 25. On Feb. 15, HYM will give a presentation at the Cottage Park Yacht Club in Winthrop from 6-8 p.m.

Bob O’Brien, head of the Revere Economic Develop-ment Department, said Bos-ton is a step ahead, and into the permitting process since all but about 40 percent of the development is in Boston

with the rest in Revere. “It’s a little different in

East Boston because they said that they committed to have a 500,000 square-foot office building ready by the end of 2019.

“So in addition to zoning they have actual proposals for those first two buildings,” O’Brien said.

“In a sense they are al-ready in to planning stage for the East Boston portion,” O’Brien said.

HYM has met with the Beachmont Improvement Committee a number of times, and they have met with the Friends of Belle Isle Marsh.

“I want to make sure we have something to talk about before we go out,” Mayor Brian Arrigo said.

Sen. Boncore appointed Chair of Transportation By John Lynds

With a major international airport, highway, toll plaza and the MBTA Blue Line in his district it made sense for Senate President Harriette Chandler to appoint Sen. Jo-seph Boncore (D-Winthrop), who represents East Boston, Revere, Winthrop, the North End and part of Cambridge as the new Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Transpor-tation. Former Senator Tom McGee previously held the post until he resigned his seat upon winning election as the mayor of the City of Lynn.

Boncore has served as the Vice Chair of the Committee on Transportation and has taken lead on issues related to MBTA privatization and tran-sit-oriented housing develop-ment. Senator Eric Lesser (D – Longmeadow) was appoint-ed to as the committee’s Vice Chair.

“The need for effective and

efficient transportation inter-sects with the need for afford-able housing, economic op-portunity, and social justice,” said Senate President Chan-dler. “Our transit systems are the central arteries connecting our Commonwealth’s cities and towns to each other. Sena-tor Boncore and Senator Less-er will bring strong leadership to the challenges we face at a time when transportation is

a paramount issue on Beacon Hill and in the minds of ev-eryday commuters.”

Boncore’s work on trans-portation is rooted in a com-mitment to the priorities of the Commonwealth, including his transit-heavy First Suf-folk and Middlesex district, which encompasses stretches of both Interstate 90 and 93, all five MBTA subway lines, Logan Airport, South Station and portions of the Boston Harbor.

Since being elected senator here Boncore has advocated for a ferry in Eastie, improve-ments to the Sumner Tunnel toll plaza project, increase in Massport mitigation to sur-rounding communities, late night MBTA service as well as addressing other transpor-tation needs and improve-ments in the district.

** 24 Hour Services

By Sue Ellen Woodcock

After a nasty incident that resulted in a police officer getting whacked on the head with beer bottle, the Squire Lounge may have to rethink whether or not they serve drinks in glass or plastic cups.

At their Jan. 17 meeting, the Revere Licensing Com-mission decided to hold off on the idea until all three commissioners were present.

On Dec. 22, 2017, Officer Joseph Internicola was work-ing a detail at the club with another officer and addition-al security hired by the club. Close to closing time, two patrons had an altercation and

while attempting to break up the fight, one of the patrons grabbed a Corona beer bottle and swung blinding, hitting Internicola in the head and causing a large gash.

Club Manager Peter De-Pesa said he was in his of-fice when the fight broke out. When he came out, the pa-trons were handcuffed, and he helped Internicola with his wound. Internicola, who reg-ularly does details at the club, said the patron who hit him is a regular at the club and has since been banned.

The commission suggested that the club consider serving beer in plastic cups in the fu-ture. But Commissioner Lin-

da Guinasso was absent and the other commissioners felt they should all have a say.

DePesa said they were looking to operate an upscale men’s club and servicing drinks in plastic cups would look cheap.

“If it’s not a glass bottle, it’s a chair or a purse,” DePe-sa said. “If someone wants to hurt someone, they will find some way to do it. I don’t think this will happen again.”

Police Chief James Gui-do said he didn’t think beer should be served in glass bot-tles.

The commission will take this up again at its February meeting.

Licensing Commission may seekuse of plastic cups at Squire Lounge

removal of damaged proper-ty will ease the burden these residents endured,” said May-or Brian Arrigo. “These resi-dents are confronted with the need to clear out flooded base-ments, and by waiving the fee requirements, we lessen the financial aspect of their clean-up.”

The temporary fee waiver does not alter the prohibition of curbside removal for spe-cialty items such as comput-ers, televisions, paint cans, tires, light bulbs etc., which must be taken to the DPW fa-cility on Charger Street. Res-idents who require more than eight stickers will be charged the usual fee for stickers in excess of eight. Items bearing a sticker can be placed for re-moval on regularly-scheduled trash removal days. For more information on the items for which stickers are required and further restrictions, see Revere Revised Ordinanc-es 8.04.027.

EBMS is a non-profit cor-poration. Its mission is to cre-ate a more vibrant business district by initiating private and public improvements, promoting commerce, and supporting efforts to improve the quality of life for all who live, work, and do business in East Boston.

Orphanos is sitting on 8,500 square feet, with park-ing, right on the corner of the Beachmont section of the pro-posed development of Suffolk Downs.

“Some of my customers have been coming here since 1978. I’d like to knock down the building and make my own place,” Orphanos said. “Businesses will be coming, and that will be good for my own business. There is no ne-gotiation. I walked into a gold mine that was already here. Support the local businesses.”

“They want to improve that area because it’s at the open-ing of the Beachmont Sta-tion,” said Bob O’Brien, head of Revere’s Economic Devel-opment Department.

Monday night O’Brien explained that he sees the Beachmont Roast Beef site

as part of a great civic plaza for the community, not for further development. He said that area also plays a part in the resolution of the present bus traffic since the MBTA bus turn stops at the corner of Winthrop Avenue to pick up and drop off passengers, which blocks up all the traffic behind the bus. Those trying to turn onto Bennington are also blocked.

“We can help control that area if we have that (Beach-mont Roast Beach) parcel,” O’Brien said. “Plus we know we can create a nice plaza, a entry point going in.”

Across Winthrop Avenue at Luigi’s, owners Candy and Frank Pioppi, haven’t had any offers, but they are waiting for this development to unfold.

“We lost 800 jobs from the stables, that hurt,” Pioppi said.

“Now they say this will create 50,000 jobs. That would help the neighborhood.”

He has owned Luigi’s, a 32,000 square-foot pizza par-lor with parking for 37 years, and he doesn’t have much concern.

Ralph Toretta, owner of Toretta’s, said he’s not sure where his business will be fit-ting into the grand scheme of things. No one’s made any of-fers and he has met O’Brien.

“I’m just concerned about myself,” he said.

O’Brien said they have no plans to buy any houses on Washburn Avenue.

“We want to be good neigh-bors, and I’m sure they’re fine owners who want to continue to live there,” O’Brien said.

a second headquarters primar-ily on the East Coast. Bos-ton, including Revere, made the list as did a proposal from Somerville. Other northeast sites include New York, New-ark, Philadelphia, Toronto and Washington D.C.

“We’re thrilled. It really puts things in perspective,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “I have been saying, even be-fore I became mayor, we have great potential - the beach, public transportation, sites like Suffolk Downs. There’s a lot of potential in the City of

Revere“It’s important for us to put

our best foot forward,” Arri-go said. “I’m working with (Boston)Mayor Martin Walsh and HYM to make sure we do that. But, it also has to be noted that we’ve been through this high-stakes process be-fore. One of the things that we learned from that was not to put all your eggs in one bas-ket. That’s why we’re moving forward with an overlay dis-trict. I’ve said time and time again that this will be a trans-formational development with

or without Amazon.”Revere was one of two po-

tential casino sites when it lost its bid to Wynn Casino in Ev-erett a few years ago. The city is now also looking at setting up a long-range, financial plan that could reach well beyond 50 years.

“We have to have a plan whether or not Amazon hap-pens,” Arrigo said. “It’s hum-bling that we are in a place to chart a course for our commu-nity for the next several de-cades.”

Whatever city wins, Am-azon could bring a $5 billion project that could last 15-20 years and bring 50,000 new jobs.

“It’s kind of amazing to think we are in this kind of competition,” Arrigo said. “Not only are we in the top 20, but the analysts are saying we’re one of the top three.”

“The Legislature has fo-cused on providing a stable and predictable environment for business, and we have backed programs like the In-tern Partnership, MassCAN and STEM Starter Academy to prepare the innovators of tomorrow,” DeLeo said.

Waiting in the wings for word from Amazon is devel-oper Tom O’Brien and his HYM Investment Group. It has already purchased Suffolk Downs and is moving forward with some zoning work in East Boston and Revere. HYM will develop the site whether or not Amazon lands in Boston. A decision from Amazon is expected later this year.

Beachmont Roast Beef has been a fixture on Winthrop Avenue and Donnelly Square since 1978.

As required by Massachusetts General Law Chapter 132B, National Grid (New England Power and/or Massachusetts Electric Company) hereby gives notice that it intends to selectively apply herbicides along specific transmission line rights-of-way in 2018.

The selective use of herbicides to manage vegetation along rights-of-way is done within the context of an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) program consisting of mechanical, chemical, natural and cultural components. In right-of-way vegetation management the pest or target is vegetation (primarily tall growing) that will cause outages and safety issues. National Grid’s IVM program encourages natural controls by promoting low growing plant communities that resist invasion by target vegetation. The selective use of herbicides and mechanical controls are the direct techniques used to control target vegetation and help establish and maintain natural controls.

Rodeo, and possibly one of the following herbicides, Arsenal or Arsenal Powerline, will be applied directly to the surface of stumps immediately after target vegetation is cut (Cut Stump Treatment). Garlon 4 or Garlon 4 Ultra will be applied selectively to the stems of target vegetation using hand-held equipment (Basal Treatment). Krenite S or Rodeo, mixed with Escort XP, and one of the following herbicides, Arsenal or Arsenal Powerline, or Milestone will be applied selectively to the foliage of target vegetation using hand-held equipment (Foliar Treatment). Applications shall not commence more than ten days before nor conclude more than ten days after the following treatment periods.

Municipalities that have rights-of-way scheduled for herbicide treatments in 2018:

of Suffolk Downs. The Suf-folk Downs Overlay District runs from Tomasello Drive, to Winthrop Avenue and down Washburn Avenue.

Last week HYM filed a zoning petition with the city.

“It’s important redevelop-ment for the whole region,” said Tom O’Brien, of HYM Investments.

He reminded people of the vision he has for the site; it in-cludes a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood.

“We want to make it a place where people walk, shop, work, eat a meal, it’s got to be mixed-use,” Tom O’Brien said. “We need to create great open space and parks. We also want to create neighborhood retails, which means restau-rants, not big-box retail like Target.”

The renderings show that “allowed” heights will vary between 50 feet up to 200, staggered as developers said like a “wedding cake.” There will be an allowance of 50 feet on the corner of Winthrop and Washburn Avenues.

“It’s not going to be a 200-foot building on the corner,” Mayor Brian Arrigo said. “There are setbacks and layers so it’s not imposing.”

“There will be allowed uses of retail, laboratories, residen-tial, office and hotel,” Tom O’Brien said. “There is also a buffer zone with Washburn Avenue.”

Bob O’Brien, head of the Revere Economic Develop-ment Department, said it’s im-portant in the overlay district that what is being proposed is “allowances” as compared to actual project proposals “which they have yet to come forward with.”

“We want to make this a place where economic devel-opment happens and jobs are created,” Tom O’Brien said. “If we can make it a place where people live and shop then we can bring in commer-cial.”

Arrigo said the zoning plans also call for a Project Review Committee and a Public Advi-sory Group. He explained that the Public Advisory Group is more driving the public pro-cess, their meetings will be public.

“There will be members with a wide range of back-grounds who will represent the city in their conversations. This will be a transformation-

al development for the city,” Arrigo said.

Tom O’Brien said there would be dog parks, ballparks and exercise trails running through the site. There will also be a landscaped amphi-theater, located in Revere. Tom O’Brien said for 99 per-cent of the time this area will be a grassy amphitheater, the rest of the time it will be an area where water is stored and released during 100-year flood events.

Beachmont Square and Belle Isle Square (to be cre-ated at Suffolk Downs T-stop) will be neighborhood retail areas, Tom O’Brien said. “The we would like to connect them with a main street that runs all through the site,” he ex-plained.

Tom O’Brien said commer-cial use of this area would be limited to under 50 percent.

The creation of an Innova-ton Station in the Beachmont Square area with the idea to pull in commercial business especially startup companies is being suggested.

“This could create jobs and a place that will have a signif-icant amount of commercial influence,” Tom O’Brien said. “This sets the table for the city.”

“I’m pretty humbled by the opportunity as a community,” Arrigo said. “I am in support of the overlay district. They have become a community partner in a short amount of time and have proven it, even with snow removal during the Jan. 4 storm and allowing a staging area for work that’s going to be done on Winthrop Avenue.”

Ward 6 Councillor Charles Patch was a bit leery and pointed out Overlook Ridge and how the city got stuck with apartments and no com-mercial development. Coun-cillor Dan Rizzo suggested that perhaps a memorandum of understanding be entered into with HYM to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

“So basically we’re creat-ing a community in a commu-nity,” said Councillor George Rotondo.

On Feb. 26 there will be a public hearing on the zon-ing issues presented Monday night.

Chandler and my colleagues for entrusting me with one of the state’s top fiscal and policy priorities,” said Bon-core. “The Commonwealth’s transportation system is the driver that ensures our eco-nomic success. Whether by road, rail or water, our infra-structure connects us to jobs, homes, schools and goods; ensuring continued growth. Still, Massachusetts requires a new revenue mechanism to make necessary investments in our infrastructure to secure a statewide vision for a mod-ern transportation system.”

Boncore currently serves as the Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Housing and as the Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Fi-nancing. In addition, he is also

a member of the Joint Com-mittees on Revenue and Fi-nancial service and the Senate Committee on Global Warm-ing and Climate Change.

Prior to joining the senate Boncore, an attorney in East-ie , served as the chair of the Winthrop Housing Authority.

Senator Lesser has served on the Joint Committee on Transportation since joining the Senate in 2015 and has been a leading voice in ad-vocating for the Common-wealth’s transportation infra-structure.

“I am grateful to President Chandler and my colleagues for putting their trust in me, and I look forward to working alongside Chairman Boncore on an issue that I know is a top priority for his constituents, as well as for mine, and for the entire Commonwealth,” said Lesser in a statement. “Having a high-quality, reliable trans-portation network is about more than making sure the trains run on time. Our transit system should serve the pub-lic’s needs, and this ultimately means ensuring equal access to opportunities and connect-ing our communities across the Commonwealth.”

a Project Review Committee and Public Advisory Group to get the word out about what’s going on with Revere devel-opment. “HYM has done

some work to reach out to the community,” Arrigo said, adding there is a lot more dia-logue to come out.

HAVE WE HIT BOTTOM YET?In the early 1960s, there was an iconic TV commercial for the

long-defunct National Airlines (which merged into Pan Amer-ican in 1980) with the tagline, spoken by the pert blonde stew-ardess, "Is this any way to run an airline? You bet it is!"

Soon enough, that tagline took on an ironic twist in popular culture. Whenever something went wrong in the government or in private industry, the question would be raised, "Is this any way to run a (fill in the blank)?" "You bet it ISN'T," would be the unnecessary response.

Sure enough, with the dysfunction that is painfully on dis-play in Washington, D.C., these days, that TV ad has come to mind and we find ourselves asking: "Is this any way to run a government?"

Although we support 100 percent all of the goals being sought by the Democrats -- DACA (for the children of immigrants who came here when they were very young and who now are a part of the fabric of our society), CHIPS (the health insurance pro-gram for children), and additional disaster aid for Puerto Rico -- we cannot say that we necessarily agree that shutting down the U.S. government was the way to get there.

The Democrats argue that their shutdown is only fair, inas-much as the Republicans have done it twice in the past, most recently in 2013.

However, two wrongs do not make a right. Yes, it has been frustrating to watch the Republicans abuse

their power these past few years. But if Democrats do not as-sume the mantle of the proverbial adults in the room, our gov-ernment has no floor to support it -- only an abyss that appears to be bottomless.

The partisan wrangling, now fully joined by the Democrats, essentially makes us no better than a banana republic.

CAPIC - Celebrating 50 Years of Community Service - 2017 Highlights

NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I TAKE OFFENSE TO:

Dear Editor:I take offense to anyone

that has never spent time at the Ashcan - yes we also refer to it as the Ashcan - calling it “the dive.” We even refer to it as a beach dive bar, but in the most loving, not negative, way - it is our beach dive bar, and we’ve earned the right. We have customers who run the gamut - from janitors to union laborers to city workers to college professors.

I take offense to anyone calling it “the dive” that has never been in the Ashcan to hear the high quality of music that our bands put out, some of them having played Ash’s for 25-30 years. There are very few venues in this area that give these musicians a stage. We support local music!

I take offense to anyone that has never stepped foot in Ash’s on a Wednesday night for Tj’s Open Jam to hear the talent that comes through our doors calling it “the dive.”

I take offense to anyone that has not been there when I have personally jumped in the ocean for the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics - all of the money being raised from the customers of Bill Ash’s Lounge, the place Sue Woodcock refers to as “the dive.”

And finally, I take great offense to anyone looking at myself or any one of our cus-tomers in any other light but the brightest because of an un-informed journalist who chose to call it “the dive.”

While I don’t want this to totally come off as a person-al attack on Sue Woodcock, I believe in responsible jour-nalism, and I feel that a retrac-tion of some kind or apology is definitely in order. If you’d like, I would gladly share some of the comments post-ed in response to this article in a closed group created by friends of Bill Ash’s Lounge.

“the dive team”

ON WHEELABRATORDear Editor: As many Revere residents

know, the Wheelabrator Sau-gus trash burning incinerator has petitioned the Massachu-setts Department of Environ-mental Protection (MADEP) to allow them to expand the existing ash landfill yet again.

Although an agreement was reached requiring the landfill to close in 1996, it continues to operate and expand more than 20 years later. This plant and its landfill allegedly have compromised not only our en-

vironment but also our health. The Point of Pines, Riverside, and Oak Island neighborhoods have experienced large num-bers of respiratory illnesses, cancers, and autoimmune dis-eases. These neighborhoods are downwind and less than a mile from the plant.

On Jan. 8, a motion was presented by Jessica Gianni-no at the Revere City Coun-cil meeting requesting that a letter be sent on their behalf asking MADEP to disallow any further expansion of the landfill. All of our city Coun-cillors were in agreement on this letter except for Council-lor Zambuto.

Councillor Zambuto has continuously defended and served as a mouthpiece for Wheelabrator while ignor-ing the concerns of his con-stituents. He has appeared in Wheelabrator commercials. He has repeatedly escort-ed Wheelabrator officials to Revere Senior Center func-tions and attended Revere senior citizen day trips at the Wheelabrator facility.

Although I am concerned that Councillor Zambuto has refused to listen to the con-cerns of his constituents, I re-serve my biggest concern for the misinformation he contin-ues to spread. At the Jan. 8 City Council meeting, he erro-neously stated the following:

“Not a drop of water es-capes that site.” This is con-trary to what Wheelabrator reports to MADEP.

“That is the safest form of energy there is - waste to ener-gy. It’s the most environmen-tally-friendly energy we can produce.”

Apparently, Councillor Zambuto is unfamiliar with solar and wind-generated en-ergy. If the waste to energy process was the safest and most environmentally friend-ly, it would be unnecessary for MADEP to have public hearings regarding the ash landfill expansion. It would also be unnecessary to have both MADEP and the feder-al Environmental Protection Agency oversee and regulate Wheelabrator.

“...If they were forced to truck the ash to Shrewsbury or somewhere else, forget about the 50 or 60 trucks a day through Revere...”

This is contrary to Wheela-brator’s own April 19, 2017 Ash Staging & Transport Mi-nor Permit Modification filing that estimates 13 truckloads of ash would leave the site on a daily basis. Wheelabrator has indicated to Saugus officials, in writing, that there is also a rail option to ship the ash out.

“...It would probably be $15 or so more a ton in our tipping fees. What does that

mean? That is no big deal, what is $15 a ton? Well, let’s assume that extrapolates to $300 on a senior’s tax bill. Do you know how many seniors you will make homeless on a fixed income?” First of all, an extrapolation is an assump-tion not a fact. This statement creates a huge amount of fear particularly for seniors, yet it has no basis in truth. Until there is proof of these increas-es occurring, Councillor Zam-buto should not be using fear to sway the opinions of Re-vere seniors and cause them to lose sleep at night. This is a fictional estimate that has no place in a public forum.

This is a “feel good mo-tion” that “was emotionally based”. I wish it were that simple. Because Wheelabra-tor has not only stymied any attempt at a comprehensive health assessment for Revere residents or any type of envi-ronmental impact report, my neighbors and I are justifiably emotional. It appears that Councillor Zambuto is stir-ring up the emotions of Re-vere seniors by scaring them into believing they could wind up homeless if Wheelabrator isn’t allowed to expand. This “feel good” motion is our at-tempt to have our voices heard while every attempt is being made to silence us.

I applaud the ten out of eleven Revere City Coun-cillors, and the entire Sau-gus Board of Selectmen who stood up for me and the citi-zens of Revere by demand-ing that MADEP not allow any further expansion of the Wheelabrator ash landfill in Saugus. I wish I could do the same for Councillor Zambuto.

MORE ON WHEELABRATOR

Dear Editor:As you may be aware, on

Nov. 1, 2017, the Massachu-setts Department of Environ-mental Protection issued for Public Comment a Provision-al Decision on Wheelabra-tor’s application for a Major Permit Modification (Valley Fill Project). As drafted, the Provisional Decision would allow Wheelabrator Saugus to place additional ash fill in two valleys within the limits of the landfill, subject to specific conditions. The comment pe-riod closed on Jan. 12, 2018.

I write to share with you my opposition to approval of Wheelabrator Saugus’ provi-sional permit.

As the state representa-tive whose district not only includes the Wheelabrator Saugus facility and landfill, but also as the representative of the thousands of people in Revere and Saugus who live in its shadow, I have been staunch in my opposition to any and all expansion of the landfill. Additionally, I am a founding member of the Alli-ance for Health and Environ-ment, an organization which was founded in 2016 to raise awareness about public health and environmental impacts of waste incineration and associ-ated ash disposal activities, re-duce pollution associated with waste incineration and ash disposal, and to promote en-vironmental justice for com-munities impacted by waste incineration and ash disposal. Our alliance is composed of highly respected environmen-tal groups, local elected lead-ers, and ordinary citizens who live in close proximity to and whose lives are affected by Wheelabrator Saugus.

During 2017, CAPIC cele-brated its 50th year as a com-munity action agency. Since 1967, CAPIC has served as the federal and state designat-ed Community Action Agency for the communities of Chel-sea, Revere, and Winthrop although in 1965 the City of Chelsea received its first grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity to establish the Chelsea Community Action Council and Community Ac-tion Programs Revere Initia-tive.

Throughout five decades, CAPIC has been both the first stop for people in need, as well as the last stop when other resources have failed. We are problem-solvers, al-ways going beyond what is ordinarily expected and achieving the not so possible. As a multi-service, communi-ty-based organization, CAPIC has provided comprehensive,

one-stop, anti-poverty ser-vices to thousands of individ-uals and families who seek help. The unique composition of the board of directors rep-resenting public, private and low-income sectors of the three communities has been our mainstay that ensures consistency and oversight; safeguarding that the basic mission of the organization was always preserved.

Locally, CAPIC has been the front line of defense for persons in need, especially during times of family cri-ses, and natural disaster as first seen in October 1973 when CAPIC was commis-sioned by FEMA to relocate 200 displaced families from housing after the great confla-gration that devastated over a 20-block area of Chelsea and again in February 1978, when during the blizzard, CAPIC provided housing, clothing,

WINTHROPS u n T r a n S c r i p T

By Andrew Langer

Hurricane Harvey dumped enough rain on Texas to fill the entire Chesapeake Bay. Widespread flooding caused an estimated $190 billion in damage, meaning Harvey could be the most expensive storm in American history.

The hurricane hit the ener-gy sector particularly hard.

Over a dozen oil refiner-ies along the Gulf Coast shut down or stalled production, reducing the country’s refin-ing capacity by 20 percent.

That caused gasoline prices to rise nationwide. In parts of Texas, gas prices rose 50 cents at the pump.

But consumers needn’t worry about short-term price hikes. History indicates the market will stabilize, and pric-es will quickly return to previ-ous levels.

When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, gas prices rose from a national average $2.60 a gallon to as high as $5 in some places like Georgia. Yet, by the end of 2005, thanks to an increase in energy imports

food and emergency oil to hundreds of Revere families displaced by flood waters and those who were snow bound. Most recently, on July 28, 2014, CAPIC placed Revere families who were displaced by a tornado in emergency housing and again on June 13, 2017 when a four-alarm fire on Taft Street, Revere caused many to be without shelter. Resources were immediately mobilized and together with Revere officials, families were placed in temporary shelters.

Here we are today, a vibrant organization that provides a myriad of life sustaining ser-vices to over 15,000 area res-idents annually. During 2017, CAPIC provided nearly 2,000 at-risk, low-income individu-als and families with access to food and basic needs; prevent-ed 33 families from becoming homeless through the utili-zation of United Way EFSP funds; prevented an additional 23 families from becoming homeless through EOHHS Flex funds for rental assis-tance; distributed 1,500 win-ter coats to needy adults and children through a partnership with Anton’s Cleaners Coats for Kids program; distributed donated Christmas/holiday toys to 450 low-income chil-dren; provided 50 victims of domestic violence with com-prehensive case management, advocacy, and counseling services; and provided 100 street-involved individuals in Chelsea with substance/alcohol related issues with direct comprehensive support service. In addition, CAPIC’s Mobile Outreach Team con-ducted intensive street out-reach in Chelsea to identi-fy and refer street-involved homeless individuals experi-encing alcohol/opioid addic-tion for services which includ-ed 50 sober living placements and 40 medical interventions with a volunteer licensed phy-sician.

CAPIC also partnered with MGH on the Merck Founda-tion: Alliance to Advance Pa-tient-Centered Cancer Care Grant. This is a two-year, grant program that works to improve equity by advanc-ing cancer patient-centered care for underserved popula-tions. In May 2017, CAPIC was designated by the Massa-chusetts Department of Hous-ing and Community Develop-ment (DHCD) as the official Continuum of Care -Balance of State Homeless Provider for Chelsea and Revere. Giv-en this official designation, CAPIC is commissioned to assume responsibility to coor-dinate homelessness preven-tion activities for Chelsea and Revere and also coordinate the Annual Point-In-Time Count (in conjunction with DHCD), and organize volunteer ef-forts for counting unsheltered persons in Chelsea and Re-vere. CAPIC also received an FY’17 Community Devel-opment Block Grant (CDBG) from the City of Chelsea to enhance access to health care for low-income populations in Chelsea.

In addition, CAPIC helped 3,431 low-income households keep warm during the winter months through the Fuel As-sistance Program, as well as provided weatherization and

heating efficiency services to 80 households, and replaced and/or repaired a total of 435 inefficient heating systems; provided 400 individuals re-ferred by the Social Security Administration with respon-sible payee support services; filed tax returns for 192 in-dividuals; and provided over 500 low-income children 0-13 years with Head Start/educational support, child care, after school, and sum-mer camp programming, as well as over 400 families with parenting skills and healthy family development through the Chelsea/Revere Family Network program. CAPIC Real Estate, Inc. in partner-ship with CAPIC purchased a 13-unit lodging house at 72 Dehon St., Revere, in an effort to preserve tenancies through affordable housing.

Our ability to accomplish this work, past and present, is a direct result of those people who have chosen public ser-vice as a career and the ded-icated members of the Board of Directors and Policy Coun-cil. They strive to have a better community, with employment opportunity, safe housing, ed-ucation, food, clothing and healthcare for everyone. We express our gratitude to our elected and appointed delega-tion that without their support we could not succeed. There are also the compassionate partners at DHCD and HHS that understand the plight of the poor; there are those in sister organizations whose collaboration and cooperation make our work more effec-tive. Perhaps the greatest asset that we have and sometimes overlook, is our clergy, whose spiritual guidance and prayers have given us the courage and motivation to persevere in an environment where it isn’t popular to be poor.

We have also forged strong alliances with the local po-lice and fire departments and greatly appreciate the support and assistance we receive from the city and town Com-munity Development and Health Departments. Over the years we have relied on our historic alliance with local school departments that have provided us with space for Head Start and After School/Summer Camp programming. Special thanks to former State Reps. Kathi-Anne Reinstein, Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo, Reps. RoseLee Vin-cent and Dan Ryan; and Sens. Sal DiDomenico and Joe Bon-core for their untiring support for CAPIC throughout the years.

A quote from CAPIC’s third executive director: “Progress has not been easy- there have been crises, cutbacks, quarrels, opposition. Yet, when it was most important, we have al-ways closed ranks and worked together, and so accomplished much. Perhaps even more im-portant are our less tangible accomplishments. Because of CAPIC, thousands of Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop resi-dents, especially low-income people, have become aware of their rights and responsibil-ities, and the value of working together to improve opportu-nities for all.”

and domestic production, gas prices were lower than they were before Katrina struck.

Today, our energy supply is more robust and geographical-ly diverse than in 2005. So the recovery will occur sooner.

Current U.S. oil reserves are 60 percent larger than they were in 2008 and these energy resources are located in differ-ent parts of the country. While the amount of U.S. crude oil produced in the Gulf of Mex-ico has increased, the Gulf’s share of total U.S. crude oil production decreased from 27 percent in 2003 to 16 percent in 2014. Other regions of the country have become major oil producers. As a result, the U.S. energy supply is less vulnerable to an isolated nat-ural disaster, no matter how vicious.

Energy companies have also improved their disaster preparedness. Before Harvey hit, firms began shuttering refineries and evacuating per-sonnel. Many of the refinery closures were due to proactive safety measures, not facility damage.

By shutting down facilities safely and preventing long-term damage, firms put them-selves in position to quickly ramp up production and refin-ing capacity. As early as Sept. 4, eight refineries had started prepping to reopen. Just three days later, ConocoPhillips reported that its Eagle Ford Shale wells had been restored to over 90 percent of pre-storm production.

Thanks to these efforts, drivers are already noticing falling prices at the pump.

Aside from working to re-sume production and relieve drivers, energy firms are do-ing everything they can to al-leviate Texans’ suffering and get hurricane victims back on their feet as soon as possible. ExxonMobil, for example, contributed $500,000 to relief efforts, Chevron donated $1 million, and ConocoPhillips dished out $5 million. Weath-erford International set up a donation page for employees and families affected by the disaster, and pledged to match donations.

Energy firms’ efforts are just a small part of the overwhelm-ing support Americans have shown Texas. Citizens, celeb-rities, and corporations alike are lending a hand. A Good Samaritan used his Escalade with monster-truck tires to tow a National Guard vehicle. J.J. Watt, the Houston Texans superstar, helped raise more than $37 million for Harvey

relief. And Coca-Cola gave two men permission to break into their warehouse and steal bottled water for community residents in dire need.

Harvey was devastating

for Texans, and it temporarily raised prices at the pump. But thanks to energy companies’ improved safety precautions, more diversified supplies, and relief efforts, Texas and the

nation are poised to bounce back stronger than before.

Hometown News

By Seth Daniel

The first medical marijua-na dispensary in the Lower Mystic region has opened its doors in Sullivan Square on Broadway, Somerville, and operators of the clinic, Rev-olutionary Clinics, said last week they are seeing many new patients and believe they are helping people with chron-ic pain feel better without hav-ing to turn to the black market.

Last Friday, Revolution – which sees itself as a regional dispensary serving the entire Lower Mystic region – said that it has been open every day since November (except Thanksgiving and Christmas) and the business has been ramping up every week – with an average of 38 new state-ap-proved patients per week.

“The company is growing here and the patients are re-turning on a regular basis,” said Keith Cooper, CEO of the company, which is based in Colorado. “We are very, very excited about this loca-tion and obviously disturbed and concerned about what is being said at the national lev-el. We hope that it will be just posturing and not hurt the pa-tients taking advantage of this incredible plant.”

The open house at the dis-pensary was a chance for the media and for state legislators, including Somerville Sen. Pa-tricia Jehlen, to see one of the area’s first functioning clinics in progress.

The clinic is only for those approved by the state for med-ical marijuana – though there is a desire to convert to recre-ational sales if permitted later this year. The system is set up with many security checks, from the parking lot to the en-trance to the point of sale and delivery of the product.

After going through the procedures, one can work with a clerk to discuss the products available and options. There is an education area and an area for private consultation.

The clinic dispenses every-thing from traditional mar-ijuana “flowers” or “buds” to salves, vaping cartridges, tinctures, oils, waxes, cookies, biscuits and chocolates.

The actual “buds” are pro-duced in Massachusetts, and right now Revolutionary has a farm in Fitchburg that is pro-ducing two varieties now sold in the clinic.

The many different prod-ucts, said clerk Sarah-Jaa-na Nodell, are only a matter of preference. Some people come in with arthritis and only want a salve. Some people

have lung problems and can-not smoke buds, so they need a tincture or an edible product.

Others just need very low doses for their ailments, while others need to smoke strong buds to relieve chronic pain.

“The flower is really just the delivery mechanism for the oils,” she said. “The pri-mary element is the concen-tration of oils and there are other ways to deliver it. If someone comes in with lung disease, the last thing we’ll do is give them something to smoke. I’m not going to give you edibles if you can’t digest things. That’s when a patient might be a better fit for a tinc-ture.

“We have so many people saying they don’t want to get high,” she continued. “You don’t have to. You don’t have to get high. We’re here to help patients find the product that is going to make them feel better in any way we can. Many of our products are non-halluci-nogenic so they will not get anyone high.”

However, for others, the hallucinogenic effect is pre-cisely the medicine they need in smoking the flower – and the side effects, such as gig-gling, can be helpful too.

“We have some strains that make you giggly and happy,” she said. “Some people say they want something that will make them giggle. We can do that. For a lot of people with chronic pain, giggling is an easy thing to do.”

Nodell said she can relate to such pain, as she and many

of the product consultants are medical marijuana users who have survived and coped with chronic pain for years.

“I lived with chronic pain and was allergic to most pain medications,” she said. “I was 15 when I discovered medical marijuana and never turned back. Six surgeries later and no morphine for me. Chronic pain is a hard thing. That 1-10 scale gets mixed up and it’s hard when 10 is all the time.”

Bringing the 10 down to a manageable level – whether dealing with cancer, Crohn’s Disease or arthritis – is what Revolutionary said they are all about.

“These products really help and provide relief,” said Meg Sanders, managing director. “I have seen so many Crohn’s patients find great relief with these products after so many steroid treatments.”

After one finds the product they need and pays for it, the product is picked up in a se-cure dispensing area – much like a traditional pharmacy counter. After that, a patient can leave, and they do so with a great deal of security in the parking lot and with a network of cameras to prevent theft or assault.

“We haven’t had an inci-dent since we opened,” said Sanders. “It is as secure or more secure than any bank or jewelry store you might enter…With all the cameras around here, we actually end up helping to solve crimes in our experience. In a store we have in Colorado, the police frequently ask us for footage from our cameras to catch things that happen around us. We are actually solving crimes.”

The clinic is open Mon-day, Weds., and Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, they are open 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. On Sundays, they are open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

They are located at 67 Broadway in Somerville, just two blocks from Sullivan Square.

Revolutionary Clinic Product Consultant Sarah-Jaana Nodell displays two strains of marijuana buds that are dispensed at the clinic’s Somerville/Sullivan Square location. The two types are grown at their Fitchburg farm, and are among several products – from chocolates to tinctures to salves – that the clinic sells to state-registered patients.

Joey Brancato is a 21-year-old Winthrop native who has seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth a week before Thanksgiving.

On November 18 Joey was last seen in Roslindale at 10 Mendelsohn St. in the com-pany of an acquaintance. Ac-cording to family Joey had a past history with drugs, but was on the straight and nar-row, and was excited to start a new chapter in his life by join-ing the U.S. Marines.

The NCIS confirmed they are assisting Boston Police with this missing person case, and that the Marine Corps Re-cruiting Office at 1408 Centre St, Roslindale had been al-

legedly searched as part of the

investigation and was closed

for about two weeks in De-cember. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office also confirmed Joey disappearance is still an active missing per-sons investigation.

“Joey’s family has worked with the Boston Police in Roslindale and the homicide unit at BPD headquarters,” said DaSilva. “BPD and State Police searched many of the wooded areas in the Roslindale/Hyde Park area. Family and friends have also searched these areas. We do not have any answers and to date, no updates. We are told this is still a very active inves-tigation, which is why BPD homicide unit says they can’t release details.”

DaSilva said Joey’s family continues to ask that people share Joey’s story.

“We can’t let it become a cold case,” she said. “He has family that are devastated without him. Thank you to all of his friends, especially his Winthrop crew for spend-ing time on New Year’s Eve searching for your friend!

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers and for continuing to share. Help us find Joey.”

Joey is described as a white male standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approxi-mately 200 pounds. He has a shaved head and a distinct mole below his right nostril. If you have any information about the whereabouts of Jo-seph “Joey” Brancato, contact the Boston Police Department District E-5 Detectives di-rectly at 617-343-4566 or the Boston Police Department Homicide Unit at Boston Homicide Unit at 617-343-4470 reference case #BOMA-20171125JB.

Winthrop native Joey Brancato has been missing since Nov. 18.

HOME INVASIONA homeless man from

Chelsea has been charged with armed home invasion for an attack on a woman in her Vane Street home on Friday night.

Around 8:20 p.m., a wom-an was returning home on the bus after cashing a check at a local check casher. The wom-an was carrying a large sum of money and walked up to her home. Upon going inside, she heard a commotion and called out.

No one answered.However, someone quickly

grabbed her by the neck and demanded all the money while pointing a firearm at her.

A struggle ensued.The woman tried to grab

the gun and wrestle it away.The intruder hit her in the

head with the gun.Then he grabbed her hand-

bag, containing the money, and fled.

Revere Police responded immediately and were able to gather a good description of the man from the victim. Of-ficers in the area soon found a man matching the description. After a short interview, he was linked to the scene and was charged with the crime.

Weslin Carillo-Garcia, 21, of Chelsea, was charged with armed home invasion, assault and battery by a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, violating the knife ordinance and armed robbery.

ARMED ROBBER ARRESTED

Through some dogged and intuitive detective work, one Revere armed robber who held up Joe’s Market on Broadway Jan. 14 is now un-der arrest.

On Jan. 14, the suspect went into the store on Broad-way and got several items and put them on the counter. Then he casually walked behind the counter, pulled out a firearm and punched the clerk in the face.

He then opened the register and took a large quantity of

cash.He fled, but surveillance

video remained and he had left a backpack behind.

Inside the backpack, police found a receipt from CVS and an EBT card.

The receipt allowed police to go to the local CVS and find surveillance of the man in question buying something there. The EBT card was traced back to an acquaintance of the suspect, who happened to be with him at the CVS.

The CVS video also re-vealed some identifying markings on the man.

Police detectives followed up and were able to make an arrest based on the informa-tion uncovered.

Brian Mercado, 23, of 402 Revere St., was charged with armed robbery, armed assault with intent to rob and five warrants.

INTERFERING WITH LIFESAVING ACTIVITIES

Revere Police arrested a Malden man on Thursday, Jan. 18, for interfering with Police and Fire officials who were trying to save a woman in the midst of a drug over-dose.

Around 7:37 p.m., police were called to the area of North Shore Road and Beach Street for a man dragging an unconscious woman on the sidewalk. When police ar-rived, that’s exactly what they found.

Revere Fire arrived on the scene and were attempting to revive the woman with Nar-can when the man began in-tervening.

As Police and Fire tried to administer CPR and Narcan, the man began berating and cursing them while pushing them out of the way – effec-tively preventing them from aiding the woman.

Finally, they were able to remove him and continue with the aid.

Boban Marinkovic, 30, of Malden, was charged with disorderly conduct and inter-

fering with a police officer.

REVERE MAN GUILTY FOR NOT REGISTERING AS SEX OFFENDER

A Revere man pleaded guilty last week in federal court in Boston to failure to register as a sex offender.

Steven Veno, 55, pleaded guilty to one count of failing to register as a sex offender. U.S. Senior District Court Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. scheduled sentencing for April 24, 2018.

Veno is required to regis-ter as a Level 2 sex offender in Massachusetts based on Massachusetts state court convictions for rape of a child in 1993. The federal Sex Of-fender Registration and No-tification Act requires Veno to register in any jurisdiction where he lives or works.

Law enforcement officers learned that over the past several years Veno had been traveling from Massachusetts to Florida, where he lived and worked for periods of time over several years, without registering as a sex offender in that community. Veno has been in custody since his ar-rest in September 2017.

Failing to register as a sex offender provides for a sen-tence of no greater than 10 years in prison, a minimum of five years and up to lifetime supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.

APARTMENT SCAMMER

Revere Police have filed a complaint in Chelsea District Court on an East Boston man believed to be scamming peo-ple out of their apartment de-posit money.

On Jan. 19, police received a complaint that the suspect had offered an apartment, taken a deposit on it and then never produced the apartment. Police found that it wasn’t necessarily the first time, and that the man had possibly been involved in similar activ-

ity in East Boston.Jose Rivera, 31, of East

Boston, has been charged in a complaint with larceny over $250 by false pretense.

ASSAULTED POLICE AT STORE

An Adams Court man has been charged with assaulting store personnel and police af-ter having tried to steal items from the Market Basket on Jan. 12.

Around 5:55 p.m., a detail

officer at the store was alerted to a man taking items. Man-agement approached the man about the situation, and the manager was assaulted. Police intervened and they were as-saulted too.

Anthony Spagnola Jr., 52, of 2 Adams Ct., was charged with shoplifting, assault and battery on a police officer, violating the knife ordinance, two counts of assault and bat-tery, one warrant for unarmed robbery and one warrant for

larceny of a motor vehicle.

DUCK HUNTERS IN THE MARSHES

Revere Police were called to North Marshall Street on Saturday evening for gun-shots.

Police arrived and found a group of hunters in the marsh with all the proper permits.

The annual ritual usually unfolds in the Rumney Marsh and the Belle Isle Marsh.

In the new year, property

owners can look look forward

to a 5.37-percent increase in

the assessed value of their

home. George Anzuoni, direc-

tor of finance of the city noted

that those bills will be mailed

out by Jan. 1.

The average assessment of

a residential property in Re-

vere is $343,503 with a tax rate

of $12.96 per $1,000 in valua-

tion in FY18. Anzuoni said the

increase is reflective of the real

estate market in the city.

“This is a normal increase,”

Anzuoni said. “Property val-

ues are up.”The commercial tax rate

for FY18 will be $25.36 per

$1,000 of valuation. Anzuoni

said the total value of commer-

cial and residential real estate in

Revere is $4,749,021,284 for

FY17 while the total valuation

was $4,213,165,434 in 2016.

HYM Investments has filed

a notice of intent with the city,

offering to work with city

officials in regards to the de-

velopment at Suffolk Downs

business on this site could be

Tom O’Brien, founding

partner and managing direc-

tor of the HYM Investment

Group, appeared before the

City Council Monday night

to give an update on his work,

and to deliver a notice of in-

tent to the city.

O’Brien stated in the letter:

“over the last several months,

HYM has engaged with and

met with a wide range of

stakeholders from Revere

and East Boston, representa-

tives of the Commonwealth

of Massachusetts and other

stakeholders regarding the re-

development of the site. We

are now moving forward with

the formal permitting process

in the City of Revere, concur-

rently with commencement

of permitting efforts with the

Commonwealth and the City

of Boston. To commence the

process in Revere, we intend

to submit an application for

a zoning amendment in ear-

ly 2018. We look forward to

working with the mayor’s of-

fice, Revere City Council and

the larger Revere communi-

ty to move forward with this

unique redevelopment oppor-

tunity,” developers stated in

the letter of intent.

With the Beach House un-

der construction on Revere

Beach Boulevard, and the new

construction on the site of the

old Shaw’s Market, people are

seeing a lot of wood go up and

wonder about safety before

and after construction.

Revere Deputy Fire Chief

Paul Cheever deals with these

buildings, new and old, ev-

ery day. As a licensed engi-

neer and a firefighter, he is

uniquely positioned to work

with builders to make sure fire

safety is addressed.

In addition to these devel-

opments, there are more four

hotels planned for the city and

more development being pro-

posed.“What concerns us is the

wood-frame construction,”

said Fire Chief Christopher

Bright. “Deputy Chief Cheev-

er has been way ahead on

this.”Fires have started on con-

struction sites in Waltham and

Cambridge. Chief Bright said

the construction projects don’t

have to be high-rise buildings,

they can just be buildings with

a large amount of square foot-

age.

“They might be three or

four stories high, but when

they are under construction,

they’re just as vulnerable,”

said Bright. “Because they are

wide open, there was no fire

protection in place, and inad-

equate security can contribute

to the vulnerability of these

sites.”The sites under construc-

tion currently in Revere have

amped up security with cam-

eras and security guards on

site.“As the construction moves

along so does the protection.

As the building is framed, we

want to make sure they have

the stairwell in place and the

standpipe (which supplies

water). We have to make sure

they put in a fire department

connection.”

The stand pipe goes up as

the building rises, and the fire

department knows they can

tap into that line.

Cheever explained that

developers have a choice of

building materials to use from

wood to metal, to concrete

and composites. But it is the

architect who decides the final

What decision impacts life more than any other?

By Seth Daniel

Construction on the walls, pipes and windows is going full-tilt right now at the new Malden Catholic School for Girls.

And at the same time, in Principal Lisa Cenca’s office, a lot of construction is also going on to develop a curric-ulum that she said would be one of the only kind offered to girls in America.

That curriculum will go into effect next school term when the school opens its doors to its first freshmen class of girls – who will learn on the same campus, but separate from the long-time boys school.

For now though, curricu-lum development, recruiting and traditional construction are the main focus in getting

ready for that big day.“What is coming is a tidal

wave, and every day it’s gath-ering energy and positivity,” she said.

Headmaster Thomas Doherty said while the school will operate separately, yet side-by-side, they will share the distinction of a Malden Catholic education.

“While the School for Boys and School for Girls will op-erate in separate wings of our school building, the two schools will benefit equal-ly from the assets that have distinguished Malden Cath-olic from other Boston area schools such as modernized Learning Commons spaces, a recently constructed science center, superior athletic facil-ities, a dedicated and academ-ically distinguished faculty, and a broad array of service

and faith-building opportu-nities,” said Doherty. “Most importantly, the two schools will share in the spirit of Plus Ultra, the spirit that defines what is uniquely exceptional about a Malden Catholic ed-ucation.”

Principal Cenca has had an 11-year career teaching at Malden Catholic as a di-rector on the boys’ side, but was tapped to lead the new School for Girls last April. Since then, she has spent the last 10 months working on crafting what the school will emphasize and focus on once it opens.

Everything, naturally, will be new – but Cenca said that doesn’t just mean the physical building, but also everything within it. She said that means it will be a very special group of girls who will define the new School for Girls in the first class – which is expected to number about 70 students.

“The need and desire for single-gender education for girls is tremendous and to have it at the highest levels – the applications we have seen are far greater than we expected. These are very ac-complished girls…These girls have to be ready for leader-ship. I’m looking for some very special girls in this class. This inaugural class will be forming this school with me. They will be the first fresh-man class, the first sophomore class, the first junior class and

the first senior class. They will be the first everything…They won’t be joining the newspa-per club, they will be creating the newspaper club.”

Cenca said that emphasis is going to be on leadership for young women. That’s where the school will branch off into being one of the most unique girls’ schools in the country.

The first unique aspect is the Leadership Seminar cur-riculum that will help devel-op one-of-a-kind leadership skills in girls to go along with the expected stellar academ-ics already in place at Malden Catholic.

“The focal point is leader-ship and that is integral to the entire curriculum,” said Cen-ca. “We have two components

no other school in the country has done. The first of those two is leadership…The sem-inar is not just going in and saying that we are going to do fun stuff with girls. This is premiere.”

That will go hand-in-hand with what will be a new winter term, where the entire school will shut down normal opera-tions for two weeks between the first and second terms.

“This will be an opportu-nity to take the philosophical knowledge they’ve learned and make it real,” said Cenca.

The design for the winter term is that it would mimic a four-year project – known as a capstone project. The first year would be a discovery period where they try to find

their interests. The second year would involve detailed research into that area of in-terest. The third year would collaborating with other stu-dents of similar interests and launching a community-based project. In the fourth year, the term would involve and off-site service experience, sim-ilar to what already exists at the boys’ school.

Beyond the girls in the re-cruitment phase, Cenca said part of the “tidal wave” she describes is the graduates of the former Girls’ Catho-lic High School – which was historically the girls school in Malden that accompanied the existing boys school. How-Please see GIRLS SCHOOL, Next Pg

Sponsored by National Catholic Educational Associa-tion, Catholic Schools Week is an annual celebration of Cath-olic education in the United States. Schools in the area typically observe the week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members.

Through these events, schools like East Boston Cen-tral Catholic (EBCCS), St. Rose in Chelsea, St. Antho-ny’s in Everett and Catholic Schools in Lynn focus on the value Catholic education pro-vides to young people and its contributions to church, local communities and the nation.

This week’s Catho-

lic Schools Week will be from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3. “Catholic schools allow us the opportunity to provide our students with more than just an academic education,” said Principal Robert Casaletto. “Working at EBCCS gives us the opportunity to teach to the whole child, developing a love and commitment to our faith, and, in turn, developing a commitment of service to others.”

At EBCCS Catholic Schools week will kick off with a Mass on Sunday, Jan. 28 at 10 a.m. at Most Holy Redeemer Church. Then the school will host an Open Houses Sunday, Jan. 28 at 1 p.m. and again on Monday, Jan. 29 at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

EBCCS will also host a

Young Authors’ Day on Mon-day, Jan 29, and Tuesday, Jan 30.

“Every student in the school wrote and illustrated a book,” said Casaletto. “Par-ents are invited in to view the books both days and Monday night at 6:00 p.m.”

To round out the celebra-tion the school will also have a Science Fair for Grades 7 and 8 on Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 1 p.m. Parents are in-vited in to view the projects “Every grade invites parents in at various times to view classroom activities,” said Ca-saletto.

At St. Rose in Chelsea the school will hold an Open House on Sunday, Jan. 28,

from 1 to 3 p.m. for families interested in Catholic educa-tion.

Principal Michele Butler said the school also has a wide array of activities planned.

“St. Rose School prides itself on continuing the faith-based traditions instilled by the Sisters of Providence 145 years ago,” said Butler. “Cath-olic schools are better struc-tured and parents are more involved. Classroom sizes are half the size of local schools, which makes it easier to teach and learn.”

At St. Anthony’s in Everett Principal Maria Giggie said the school will celebrate Cath-olic Schools Week, from Jan. 29 through Feb. 2. This year’s theme is “Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.”

“It incorporates the core products and values that can be found in Catholic schools across the country,” she said. “Not only are we teaching students to become future ser-vant leaders, faith-filled disci-ples and enriched citizens in our communities, educators are growing with them. In Catholic schools, we are all learners, servants and lead-ers. These shared qualities are what make Catholic schools work. They are what make Catholic schools succeed.”

The theme also focuses on key elements of Catholic ed-ucation: faith development, academic excellence and ded-ication to service.

“These elements set Cath-olic schools apart from oth-er educational options,” said Giggie. “They are why fami-lies make sacrifices to provide their children with a Catholic education.”

St. Anthony’s will host an Open House and Registration for new students on Monday, Jan. 29, from 9 to 11 a.m. and again on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at the same time.

The school also has a field trip planned for the sec-ond-and third-graders at the Greater Boston Stage Com-pany, a Student Appreciation Day set for Wednesday, Jan. 31, and field trips to Town Line Bowling, Papa Ginos and Roller World later in the week.

On Thursday, Feb 1 St. Anthony’s will take part in a Community Day, as well as a luncheon where students can invite an important person that has impacted their lives. Catholic Schools Week will end Friday, Feb. 2, at the school with a Teacher’s Ap-preciation Day.

In Lynn, St. Pius School students will will participate in a variety of lessons and activities around the theme of “Learn. Serve. Lead. Suc-ceed.”

Activities include special No Uniform Days, academic games, prayers for and ser-vice on behalf of the needy. A unique, school-wide activity will be the display and cele-bration of a Kindness Quilt, constructed by the Student Leadership Team, comprised

of students from Grades 5 through 8.

A Mass including all three Lynn Catholic schools will be celebrated on Thursday, Feb. 1, at St. Mary’s Church in Lynn. Father Robert Poitras, Pastor of St. Pius V and Holy Family parishes will preside.

St. Pius Principal Paul Maestranzi said together all Lynn’s Catholic schools share a common pride in the ways in which they offer “lessons for life” to students from Lynn and the surrounding communities. “I am proud to be the first lay principal beginning in 2000,” he said. “My years in administration have provided me opportunities to continue and advance the exemplary

legacy began in 1945 by the Sisters of St Joseph. Togeth-er with the Parish Pastoral Team, school advisory board, a skillful administrative team, and talented and professional faculty, the school has main-tained a tradition of excel-lence while updating and ex-panding its overall program. It is truly a pleasure to work with these dedicated individu-als as we endeavor to provide comprehensive and innova-tive learning experiences for the “whole-child” in the light of God’s redeeming love. Of course the students, our 'rai-son d’être,' inspire us daily to model for them our school motto, “Do your best, and be kind to others.”

East Boston Central Cath-olic School (EBCCS) Princi-pal Robert Casaletto knew he had some very big shoes to fill once longtime principal and educator Maryann Manfredo-nia stepped down at the end of the 2017 school year.

“She (Manfredonia) was my second-grade teacher,” said Casaletto. “To go to school and then become a teacher here I wasn’t sure it was the right move. My heart has always been in the class-room. But when she came to me and said she wanted to know that the school would be left in good hands how do you say ‘no’ to that?”

Casaletto said he was con-vinced when Manfredonia made a strong case that some-one from the outside may not guid the school down the same path that has made it a

success. “So I took the position,” he

said with a smile. There is no denying Casa-

letto’s strong roots at EBCCS. Growing up on London Street right near the school Casa-letto attended and graduated from EBCCS before heading to Savio Prep for high school. He completed his bachelor of science in business adminis-tration from Boston Univer-sity but his career took a turn when he decided to go back to school for his master’s degree.

“Twenty two years ago I was getting my master’s from Lesley College in education, and came back to Central Catholic to do my student teaching in fifth grade,” said Casaletto. “At the end of the year the sixth-grade teacher left for maternity leave and decided not to return to the school because she wanted to stay home with her newborn.

I graduated with my master’s that August in an accelerated program and walk right into the school as a teacher.”

And the rest as they say is history.

Casaletto takes over the reigns of the school at a critical junction in EBCCS’s history. There was a time in Eastie’s not so distant past when there were three Catholic schools that served the needs of the community. If you lived up the ‘Heights’ you went to St. Lazarus. If you lived in Har-bor View, St. Mary’s Parish or Eagle Hill you went to St. Mary’s. If you lived in Jeffries Point or Maverick Square you went to EBCCS.

However, the Archdiocese closed St. Lazarus in the ear-ly 1990s and then St. Mary’s in the mid 2000s leaving EBCCS as the only game in

ever, it shut down abruptly in 1992 and never re-opened.

“The existing Malden Cath-olic actually grew out of a girls school – Girls’ Catholic,” she said. “Eventually the boys school expanded to the current campus on Crystal Street and Girls' Catholic remained on Highland Avenue and closed in 1992. We do have a histo-ry of educating boys and girls separately but side by side. So this isn’t new. And we are see-ing so much support from the Girls’ Catholic alums because they feel their school is com-ing back.”

Touring the new building that will bring that girls school tradition back to life, it is quite apparent that a lot of thought and care was put into the lay-out by Malden Catholic and architects MDS.

The entrance veers off from the traditional entrance in a light-filled gallery promenade that will welcome girls to the school – a place where art will line the walls, and there will be spaces to sit and process the day.

That promenade will feed into what will be the “Hub” of the School for Girls – with a space for learning collab-orations, the cafeteria and a charging station. A spacious Learning Commons shoots off of that and all of the above mentioned areas surround a revamped outdoor courtyard.

“We created the space

around what we wanted and not the other way around,” she said. “Our architects took into consideration the academ-ic needs. They have done an amazing job.”

The new girls side of the school will also featured some shared space where potential collaboration could occasion-ally take place. They will also share the new state-of-the-art laboratories with the boys side, but at separate times.

The classrooms will range from the traditional lecture hall to new seminar rooms for collaborative learning.

“The seminar rooms will have roundtable teaching and

everyone will have a front-row seat,” she said. “It will have an idea paint feature with floor-to-ceiling white boards so girls can solve problems and work in groups all over the walls.”

Cenca said they have also brought in a consultant from MIT/RE labs to consult with them on the emerging STEM program the school will offer.

The effort is completely new, Cenca said, but it will take hold in time. At the end of the four-year rollout, they expect about 300 to 400 girls in the school – and Cenca said they have plenty of room to expand.

The “Hub” of the school will eventually be a hub of activity for the School for Girls.

Across the region there is a trend of Catholic high schools adding middle school grades in attempt to make it easier for students to transition from elementary school to Catholic high school.

Boston College High School, located in Dorchester, has seen great success since adding seventh and eighth grades in 2007.

“We were loosing some of the best students who had no-where to go at the end of sixth grade,” said Robert Hamlet, Vice Principal of the Arrupe Division (middle school). “The demand is there.”

He said there are not a lot of options for students to at-tend Catholic school between the seventh and ninth grades, when high school begins. In addition, they were missing out on a lot of public school kids from the city because the grades didn’t align.

If a student wanted to join the high school, he or she would have to go to three dif-ferent schools in a short time span, which many parents try to avoid.

“We are a Jesuit Catholic school, and we are helping to shape character in young

boys,” said Hamlet. “Having the seventh-and eighth-grad-ers here allows us to hone in their character for longer and teach them how to treat other people a bit earlier.”

Hamlet said the school fin-ished a new building in 2005 with a new science lab, cafete-ria and classrooms, which left them the old science building. Once they decided to add the two grades they gutted the building and renovated it to include new art studio, class-rooms and a gym to be used by the middle-school students.

For the most part the mid-dle school students stay with-in their own building, but do share some facilities with the high school. When they tran-sition to high school, Hamlet says, it still allows the stu-dents to feel like he or she is going someplace new.

“The program has been very successful for us,” said Hamlet. “Since the first year, we have gotten a lot more ap-plications than we intended.”

The middle school has about 320 students with about 160 students per grade.

“A lot of schools have looked at this model as suc-cessful,” said Hamlet. “It’s a great place, and students are doing very well, both academ-

ically and with their extracur-ricular activities. If you visit you would be amazed at how engaged the boys are in the seventh and eighth grades.”

Similarly, St. Mary’s in Lynn added the sixth grade in 2011 in order to align the school’s grade structure with its public-school counterparts.

Founded in 1881, St. Mary’s has been educating young men and women of talent and faith for over 135 years.

St. Mary’s is a six – 12 grade school, and has 529 students total, serving 30 communities on Boston’s North Shore. The school is a co-educational, secondary school where all students receive a quality ac-ademic experience in keeping with the teachings of the Ro-man Catholic Church.

The rigorous academic and extra-curricular programs en-courage young men and wom-en to reach their spiritual, in-tellectual, moral, physical and creative potential.

This year marks the first time that the inaugural sixth- grade students will be gradu-ating. The group started seven years ago as the first sixth- grade class, is are now getting ready to move onto college.

“They all started togeth-er, and they’ve grown so much together,” said Gigliot-ti. “They really have become close friends.”

Gigliotti said that the school focuses on the entire seven years as a road map. Having the extra years allows the school to have a cohesive standpoint and overall look on a child’s education.

“We don’t look at it as mid-dle school and high school, but how the students go through the seven years a whole,” said Gigliotti.

The middle-school grades spend homeroom time sepa-rately from the high-school grades, but otherwise all of the other facilities from science labs, to gym and library are shared with the high school students. In addition, if a kid is talented enough, he or she can join the high school level sports.

But the need to expand-ing is continuing. This past year, St. Mary’s celebrated a groundbreaking ceremo-ny for a future gateway and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathemat-ics) building. The school rose close to $20 million to build a Gateway and STEM that will include innovative learning and laboratory space.

Also, traditionally the school has two sections of grades six through eight but now, the demand for students wanting to start in the eighth is growing. This year they add-ed a third section to the eighth grade to help meet the need.

“The demand was just there,” said Gigliotti. “A lot of students who want to go to

town. While being the only Catholic School in the neigh-borhood should have been a boon for enrollment a few factors were at play that made EBCCS numbers not as solid as they could be.

First, the addition of two charter schools, Excel Acad-emy and the Edward Brooke, added two more options for families in Eastie and the sur-rounding neighborhoods.

“We are not losing as many kids to the charter schools as one would think,” said Casa-letto. “We may have lost three students to the fifth grade at Excel last year but I look at it as we didn’t gain any students either.”

Casaletto explained that the addition of two more school options for parents looking for an alternative to traditional public school is what hurts a place like EBCCS.

“If we got five, maybe 10 percent of the kids going to ei-ther Excel or the Brooke every year we’d be golden” he said. “Now your looking at an en-rollment of over 300 students in the school.”

The school population now hoovers just under 200 students. Casaletto said 225 students would be a nice com-fortable number and 260 stu-dents would be ideal.

“When I first started teach-ing here I had over 30 students in my class,” he said. “That was the norm even when I went to school here.”

The second factor is the gentrification of Eastie. Casa-letto said the school has had a large Latino student popu-lation, a group that has been historically low-income in the neighborhood, but come from a strong Catholic faith base. Now the dynamic has shifted.

“We are hearing from a lot parents that rise in rents are a struggle,” said Casaletto. “Around here now a three- bedroom apartment can be anywhere from $2,500 per month to $3,000 per month. Most of our parents need larger portents to house their families but it’s a choice now between paying for rent or paying for tuition and a total-ly understand the decision to chose rent.”

However, with all the new development happening in Eastie Casaletto hopes EB-CCS can start attracting newer families to the school.

“I hope that is what hap-pens,” he said. “There are going

to be people moving here with one or two children who are looking for a solid education.”

The solid education at EB-CCS is what Casaletto said sets the school apart.

Last year the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) gave its seal of approval to EBCCS. The NEASC, the country’s oldest accreditation asso-ciation serving more than 2,000 public and independent schools, gave its coveted ac-creditation to Eastie’s sole parochial school. This was EBCCS’s second accredita-tion from the NEASC, the first occurring a decade ago. According to their report on EBCCS, the NEASC wrote that the school met or exceed-ed expectations. The schools greatest strengths were its mission, admissions, program and experience of students, as well as resources, early child-hood education, faculty and health and safety.

“Our students that go on to East Boston High are mostly all in Advanced Placement classes,” said Casaletto. “Oth-er students receive scholar-ships to some of the best pri-vate schools in the city.”

Casaletto said what is also misleading is the percentage of EBCCS students that make it into one of Boston’s presti-gious test school like Boston Latin. Many parents in Boston, after paying for private educa-tion for several years, hope for a respite during middle and high school before their son or daughter starts college and tuition starts back up again. Many believe a Catholic ed-

ucation in elementary and middle school is sending their child on a trajectory to a Cath-olic high school education and tuition that can be upwards of $20,000 per year.

However, Casaletto said many of the students at EBCCS that want to go to schools like Boston Latin end up doing so.

“For example last year there were 16 students in the sixth grade and only half were East Boston residents,” ex-plained Casaletto. “So only eight students were eligible to take the exam for the test schools. I believe only two students out of the eight who were eligible took the exam, and one of those students got in and is currently at Boston Latin. So while it looks like only one out of 16 are getting into exam schools it is more like 50 percent of the kids that took the exam got in because we have students from Chel-sea, Winthrop, Everett that can’t take the test anyway.”

In the end Casaletto said he’s put EBCCS’s curriculum against any other school.

“We’ve made some great strides,” said Casaletto. In fact the school just added a new standardized test that tracks a students progress and learn-ing capabilities throughout the year and is a private school equivalent of sorts of the state’s MCAS exam. “Public schools or charter schools may teach the same thing like math or science in a different way the founda-tion for learning and success academically is just as strong at EBCCS,” he said.

Catholic High School want to start earlier and get in as soon as possible so that they can start their journey.”

This is happening despite the fact that the public high schools in Lynn also begin in

the ninth grade. Gigliotti said that many students who know they want to switch prefer to start even earlier than the tra-ditional, ninth-grade transi-tion time into high school.

“This is such a great school

and it really is a family,” said Gigliotti. “The alumni is so strong and come out with their families to support sports games. We’re really luck to have a community like this at St. Mary’s.”

This is an exciting time for Jordan Edgett.

For not only has he found the perfect match for his talent and love of sports and educa-tion as the third-year assistant athletic director at his alma mater, St. John’s Prep in Dan-vers, the Lynn resident and Bowdoin College graduate has found his perfect mate.

“My fiancée is Kelsey Horton, and we’ll be get-ting married in June, 2019,” said Edgett, who celebrated his 28th birthday last Friday. “She’s from New York and played field hockey at Holy Cross. One of my best friends from Bowdoin is engaged to one of her best friends from Holy Cross, so that’s how we met.”

Edgett is a 2008 graduate of the Prep, where he played basketball and baseball for the Division 1 Eagles. He went on to play shortstop at Bowdoin in Brunswick, Maine, receiv-ing his degree in economics in 2012.

Edgett spent two years working in a player develop-ment position in the Baltimore Orioles organization before being named an assistant AD at the Prep, a Catholic school for boys, Grades 6-12.

Working alongside long-time director of athletics Jim O’Leary, Edgett has a num-ber of responsibilities in the Prep’s 23-varsity sport pro-gram, including scheduling transportation for the teams, hiring game officials, and administering and managing individual games. He is also a coach of the middle-school basketball team and the ju-nior-varsity baseball team.

“We’ve won a number of state titles since I’ve been there,” said Edgett proudly.

Edgett was a scholar-ath-lete at the Prep and he has al-ways admired the prestigious, college preparatory school.

“I loved St. John’s as a stu-dent because of the welcom-ing environment, the broth-erhood,” said Edgett. “I feel the same way about working there. It was an easy transition for me going from baseball [Baltimore Orioles] back to the Prep. It’s just a great place to work – the people are so

nice and friendly and under-standing and empathetic.”

Edgett said the Prep teams are excelling again this year in the Catholic Conference, known as one of the best leagues in the state.

“I feel every sport is even better this year,” said Edgett. “Our basketball and hockey teams both look like they’ll be competing for a state title. Ski-ing, fencing, and swimming are gearing toward state titles. Baseball has another shot at a title. Lacrosse is going to be back into state tournament contention. There is a positive outlook overall for our teams and the future is bright.”

He enjoys his daily work-ing relationship with O’Leary, the Eagles’ former head foot-ball coach who was succeeded

by Brian St. Pierre, an illustri-ous Prep graduate who played quarterback at Boston College and in the National Football League.

“I’ve learned a lot from Mr. O’Leary,” said Edgett. “He knows the ins and outs of everything of an athletic department. He’s a big person on relationships and I think that’s half the battle because he works with the school ad-ministration, students, par-ents, vendors and contractors and things of the nature and he has a good relationship with everyone. He has everything down perfectly.”

Jordan grew up in Lynn and is the son of Alan and Diane (Solimine) Edgett. He is the grandson of David Solimine Sr. and Mary Jane Solimi-ne, one of Lynn’s most well-known and philanthropic cou-ples.

“From Day 1, my grandfa-ther has been an inspiration to me and he has always been a role model for me,” said Edgett. "The way I see it, if my fiancée and I can emulate my grandparents and their greatness, we’re doing some-thing right.”

When Jeff Newhall was the head coach of the Marblehead High girls basketball team, the Lady Magicians came within one basket of advancing to the state championship game, falling just shy in the semifi-nals at the Garden.

Newhall would eventually move on to St. Mary’s High School, where his success has continued as a coach. St. Mary’s won state titles in 2011 and 2014 and its Bover-ini Tournament championship in December was the Spar-tans’ fourth in a row, quite an achievement when you con-sider Lynn Classical’s emer-gence as a perennial North-eastern Conference power under coach Tom Sawyer.

Newhall’s Spartans are once again a state title con-tender and senior Olivia Nazaire is the newest member of the 1,000-point club. Alum-na Sharell Sanders just entered the 1,000-point club at Cald-well University while Jennie Mucciarone is a captain and a starter for Tufts University, one of the top-ranked teams in the nation in Division 3. Tori Faieta, a current assistant coach and 1,000-point scor-er, had a superlative career at Stonehill College. Cassi Amenta (Merrimack), Kirsten Ferrari (Wheaton), and Brian-na Rudolph (UMass/Lowell), other key players for 2011 ti-tle team, all went to excel in college.

While Newhall is easi-ly one of the best coaches in the state, he has helped build a tremendously successful sports program in his dual role as director of athletics at St. Mary’s High School.

Close to 70 percent of St.

Mary’s students participate in a least one sport. Newhall oversees 44 teams (Grades 6-12) in 21 varsity sports pro-grams.

The St. Mary’s golf team, under head coach Jay Fiste, won the state championship in the fall. Junior and No. 1 play-er Christian Emmerich was the individual state champion.

In what is an amazing streak, the St. Mary’s athletic program has produced a state champion in at least one sport for 11 consecutive years. Hall of Fame coach Mark Lee led the Spartans to the Division 1 boys hockey title last March. Derek Dana, who played pro-fessionally in the San Francis-co Giants organization, guid-ed St. Mary’s to the state title in 2015, and has been a posi-tive role model to his nephew, Ben Bowden, a pitcher in the Colorado Rockies’ organiza-tion.

David Brown (2016) and Kevin Moran (2012) guided the boys basketball program to state championships, with Brown taking the Spartans back to the state finals again last season. Girls hockey coach Frank Pagliuca began the string of titles in 2008 while the softball team, under former coach Colleen New-bury, won state titles in 2009 and 2010.

Meanwhile, Matt Durgin has brought the football Spar-tans to the brink of a state championship. The Spartans, four-time North sectional champions, lost to eventual state champion Mashpee in the state finals this past sea-son and have been a two-time participant in the Super Bowl

(versus Abington and East Bridgewater).

“In this day and age, to be able to build a consistent win-ner in football, which has been much more difficult with all the restrictions that have been put in place, it speaks to the quality of coaching of Matt Durgin and the staff, their dedication and their work in the program year round,” credited Newhall.

The girls soccer program, under coach Jim Foley, whose wife, Jacqueline, is an ad-ministrator at the school, has been a perennial state tourna-ment qualifier and Lynn City Tournament champion. Mike D’Agostino’s boys soccer Spartans, reached the state fi-nals in 2015, losing to western Massachusetts power Mon-son.

To what does Newhall attri-bute the school’s run of titles and high overall winning per-centage?

“I think we have a com-bination of some excellent student-athletes and a tre-mendous coaching staff that is dedicated to the school and dedicated to doing things the correct way which gives us great results both in the classroom and on the athletic field,” said Newhall, a 1993 graduate of St, Mary’s. “I will take our coaching staff against any school in the state.”

With the St. Mary’s boys and girls basketball teams and boys and girls hockey teams heading to the State Tourna-ment next month, Newhall may be adding other state championship trophies to the school’s expanding trophy case really soon.

to develop leadership skills. “When students come to me

with an idea, they actually be-gin to develop very important skills,” Tracy said. “First they learn how to communicate to a teacher. Then throughout the process, they learn how to re-search in order for their ideas to become an actual project. Then they practice public speaking as they go from from grade to grade explaining their project.”

“They also get to see their work carried through to the end, and then get to experi-ence the happiness of achiev-ing what they set out to ac-complish,” she added, noting that since this approach began in September, the students seeking out to begin a service project are getting younger.

“It is great to see how the younger grades look up to the older students and want to em-ulate them,” she said. “And they have some wonderful ideas as well!”

Student-led service projects lead Immaculate Conception Parish School students to succeedBy Donis Tracy, director of admissions

Immaculate Conception School

Students at Immaculate Conception Parish School in Revere are learning how to become responsible citizens of the world. Like many other area Catholic schools, students participate in many community service projects -- feeding the hungry, serving the parish, fundraising for the less fortunate.

However, at Immaculate Conception Parish School, any service projects that are taken on have a particular twist: All of them are student-led.

“Students approached Mrs. (Donis) Tracy, our middle school religion teacher, with their idea,” explained Stephen Hanley, principal of Immacu-late Conception Parish School. “She then asked them to come up with a small core group of volunteers and helped them with research. Together they decide on the specifics of their service project. Once they have researched how to chan-nel their desire to help, we take it to the entire school.”

Since September, sixth-graders have led a Relief Project for Mexican residents affected by the September earthquakes. Eighth-graders led the charge as the middle school sang Christmas car-ols and decorate gingerbread men with a local nursing home. Fifth-graders collect-ed toys for homeless children. Currently a team of fifth-and

sixth-grade girls are urging the school community to do-nate art supplies for sick chil-dren at the Dana Farber Can-cer Center.

“Teaching students about Jesus Christ and his message is something we take very se-riously. And to see that these students take the teachings of Christ -- especially those of caring for the less fortunate -- and look to apply it to real world situations is truly won-derful to witness,” said Tracy. “The level of empathy that these children show is incred-ible.”

This approach to teaching religion not only fosters in the students the desire to serve others, she continued, it also encourages them to want to know about current events.Adding to that global view of the world is the fact that the school community is made up of more than 75 different countries: Poland, Vietnam, Uganda, El Salvador, Brazil, Italy, Russia, Columbia, Cam-eroon, just to name a few. By teaching about different cul-tures, all the students learn to broaden their view of the world.

“We truly believe ourselves to be catholic with a small c,” echoed Hanley. “We are a uni-versal people. What happens in another part of our country, or in another part of the world has an impact on everyone.”

The student-led service project model also empowers students and encourages them Student volunteers helping

out at a local senior center.

RHS hockey teamearns a win and a tie

The Revere High hockey team earned three of a possible four points with a victory over Everett and a tie with Swamp-scott in contests played this past week at Cronin Rink.

Last Wednesday's 8-1 tri-umph over Everett was not totally unexpected, given that the Patriots had defeated the winless Crimson Tide by an 8-0 margin in their first meet-ing two weeks ago.

However, Everett ap-peared to be much-improved since then and Revere held a less-than-convincing 4-1 ad-vantage after two frames be-fore sealing the deal with a four-goal outburst in the third stanza.

Wayne Cintolo lit the lamp three times for the hat trick. Teammates Mike Goroshko, Mark Giordano, Rick Briana, Corey Rufo, and Cam Mazza all added solo goals.

Three nights later the Patri-ots hosted a Swampscott squad that had defeated Revere 3-1 in their first encounter. How-ever, the rematch proved to be a different story. Swampscott scored a goal one minute into the game on a power play, but the Patriots got that on back to restore matters to level at the first horn.

Swampscott broke the deadlock with a marker in the middle period, and matters stood at 2-1 through the entire third frame until, with 28 sec-onds to go, Rob Stoica got his stick on a loose puck in front of the net and put the disc past the Swampcott goalie.

RHS goalie Trevor Ristino, who had played brilliantly for

the Patriots, was pulled with just under a minute to go in favor of a sixth skater and the strategy worked to perfection. Mark Giordano and Goroshko earned assists on the goal.

"This was one of those oc-casions where a tie felt like a win," said RHS head coach Joe Cicarello. "We battled Swampscott all game and never gave up right to the very end and our hard work and perseverance paid off."

The Patriots now stand at 7-4-1 on the season and need just five more points to qual-ify for the post-season state tournament with nine games to play.

Cicarello and his crew will host Somerville tonight (Wednesday) with a 7:30 face-off and will entertain Glouces-ter Saturday (5:10 face-off).

The Pats will then be off until next Saturday when Lynn comes to Cronin.

RHS girls do well in meet vs. Gloucester;Fitzpatrick sets school marks

Although the Revere High girls indoor track and field team dropped a 48-37 deci-sion to Gloucester last Tues-day, there were a number of outstanding performances turned in by the Lady Patriots.

Chief among the highlights was the performance of senior captain Hannah Fitzpatrick, who finished in first place in the 1,000-meter dash in a clocking of 3:14, which not only was a personal record (PR) for Hannah, but also

Joey Pang has been award-ed the CAPIC Annual Mikae-

lian Scholarship. Joey is 2014 graduate from Revere High

School. He is currently in his junior year at UMass Boston studying exercise health sci-ence.

Joey would like to become a physical therapist once he completes his coursework. His anticipated date of gradu-ation is June 2019.

Joey has been an active member of the Revere Po-lice Activities League for 10 years. Joey first attended PAL as a middle-school student looking for structure and guid-ance. He quickly embraced the friendly competition on the basketball court, devel-oped positive relationships with peers and staff members, and became part of the fabric of the Revere PAL communi-ty. Over the years, Joey was always eager to participate in programming and activities that PAL supported.

Classical too strongfor RHS boys hoop

The Revere High boys bas-ketball team put up a valiant effort against a top-rated Lynn Classical squad, but came up on the short end of a 63-49 decision Friday evening at the RHS field house.

"We wanted to slow the pace of the game and make

it difficult for Classical to get out in transition and the team did a nice job defensively," said RHS head coach David Leary.

However, Classical jumped out to an early 7-0 lead and closed out the quarter with a 16-9 edge.

The Patriots' defense was even better in the second quar-ter, holding the talented Rams to 12 points in the eight-min-ute span, but Revere struggled to get it going on the offensive

The Revere High Boys Track Team put together an all-around effort to take a commanding win over Gloucester with lots of personal bests throughout the meet. Double winner in the hur-dles and high jump, sophomore Lucas Barbosa ran a personal best time in the hurdles with a 6.8 and just missed his best jump with attempts at 5'11".

broke her own, recently-set school record by more than two seconds.

"Hannah is getting to the point where every time she touches the track something special happens," RHS head coach Antonio LaBruna said of Fitzpatrick, whose time qualified her for the D-1 State Meet. "She is just laser-fo-cused, her conditioning is peaking, and she is running tactically-sound races. It's go-ing to be an exciting next few weeks because she still has some goals that she'd like to accomplish before we switch gears to spring season."

Other first-place finishers for Revere were Azra Laka-cha in the high jump with a PR leap of 4'-6" and Olivia Novoselsky in the two-mile in a PR time of 14:56.9.

(23'7 1/2)"This was by far our best

meet of the season," said LaBruna. "We knew it would be close on the scoreboard, but to Gloucester's credit they won six of the nine events and ended up clinching the meet just prior to the relay."

Another highlight of the meet cited by LaBruna was the strong performance turned by Yulissa Santana.

"Yulissa is a freshman and ran a 7:08 mile, which was a PR by close to 20 seconds," noted LaBruna. "Our depth in the distance events has been a weakness of our team this year so Yulissa has been valu-able for us, and it was great to see her cash in her hard work for a good time."

At Friday's D-1 State Relay Meet held at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury, the Revere girls entered a sprint medley relay team that finished 11th overall and broke the RHS Sprint Medley Relay record with a time of 4:42.88.

The relay team consisted of Hannah FItzpatrick, Kiana Napolitano, Lynzie Anderson, and Ghizlane Guesser.

Hannah's 800M leg, which was run in 2:28.5, also bested Tayla Hough's 2:32 RHS re-cord time that was set back in 2010.

Revere's final meet before the NEC Championship Meet is set for today (Wednesday) when the Lady Patriots will host Beverly.

The Revere High boys indoor track and field team had an easy day of it against Gloucester last week, cruising to a 73-13 victory.

Revere Girls team recently lost to Gloucester 48-37. This was their best effort of the season. Runners had some fast times across the board, but Gloucester won six of the nine events which made the difference.

Hannah Fitzpatrick broke her own 1,000M record with a time of 3:14, which also qualified her for Division 1 States. She has had a phenomenal season and every race she is doing some-thing special.

Kathy Umanzor finished second in the 300M with a time of 51.7.

end and went into the locker room trailing, 28-13 at the half.

“I was proud of our effort and execution defensively, es-pecially in the first half," said Leary. "Classical is a very ex-perienced and talented team, so we focused on slowing the pace.”

The third quarter did not start well as the Rams scored the first 11 points after the intermission to expand their

lead to a 26-point bulge.Revere made some substi-

tutions out of a timeout and extended their defense. Ju-nior guard Sebastian Vanes-sa (seven points, two steals) and junior forward Eric Bua (seven points) gave Revere a big lift off the bench and helped Revere get back in the game.

The Classical lead was knocked down to 47-29 head-ing into the final quarter.

Sophomore forward Scott Toglan (10 points, five re-bounds) also contributed off the bench along with junior guard Marcus Brunson-Perez (eight points, five rebounds, five assists) and sophomore guard EJ Leone (10 points) al-lowing Revere to make things interesting in the final frame.

“We got contributions from a lot of guys tonight," noted Leary. "I'm proud of the way we competed. They are a top

20 team in the state so I feel like we are improving. You just can’t fall that far behind and expect to come all the way back. We need to play better in the first quarter. It’s been a problem all season.”

Leary and his crew were set to play Winthrop last night (Tuesday) and will travel to Swampscott Friday and to Lynn English next Tuesday.

It was over milk and cook-ies in the president’s office last Monday, Jan. 15, that the workings of a potentially new DiBiaso coaching dynas-ty began to form on the West Roxbury campus of Catholic Memorial High School (CM).

By last Thursday, the smallest Division 1 high-school sports program in the state pulled one of the greatest moves in the program’s his-tory in hiring former Everett High Coach and Athletic Di-rector John DiBiaso to be its new football coach.

“This is my final destina-tion in my career in coach-ing,” DiBiaso said from the podium at the CM gym last Thursday. “I’ve fallen in love with this school in just a short period of time. The former players I know who went to school here spoke in glowing terms about it…Everything

they said was positive. That really attracted me…I just felt it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”

DiBiaso announced his re-tirement as the Everett High football and basketball coach in December shortly after winning his 12th Super Bowl for Everett High – a winning stretch that went back to the 1990s. No one in Everett ex-pected him to take another po-sition, especially at a Division 1 high school outside of his hometown.

Most in the City said they were surprised by the deci-sion, and some of the Everett High players are already ask-ing school officials if they can quickly schedule a game with CM so they can play their for-mer coach next year.

That said, DiBiaso indicat-ed it was something that came along quickly after he retired from Everett.

“I always planned on coaching well into my 80s, and when this opportunity presented itself, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get started again right away. But I was very im-pressed with the situation and we hit it off so well here.

“Actually, if I’m going to be honest with you it was Monday of this week (Jan. 15) we sat down for cookies and milk and talked, (Athletic Di-rector) Craig (Najarian) and I, and that’s when we kind of ironed it out,” he continued. “I’m not going to lie to you. I have had other opportunities and other things going on. I felt very comfortable here with the people, community and the area. It was love at first sight.”

But DiBiaso was quick to say it wasn’t a situation where he was no longer in love with his hometown of Everett. He said he had become stale as a coach there and needed to step away personally. He had planned to coach, he said, but didn’t think it would be so soon after his retirement from Everett.

“Personally and profes-sionally, I felt that I was be-coming a little stale and I needed a change,” he said. “It was not Everett by any means. It wasn’t anything that Everett did. It was something that I just felt John DiBiaso needed for himself. I have great kids in Everett, and great mem-ories and have lived there all my life – 39 years in one building. Mr. Foresteire is

the best superintendent in the state. I’ve worked under great principals and had excellent assistant coaches and wonder-ful players. I just felt that per-sonally I needed a change.”

For CM, their program was in a pinch last year after hav-ing lost their coach and then having not been able to find the coach they wanted during their initial search, Najarian said.

They brought in interim coach Brent Williams, who hired DiBiaso’s son Jonathan DiBiaso to help out, and he finished out the season. Najar-ian said they began the coach-ing search once again after the season was over – contacting coaches who had previously shown interest and also reach-ing out to DiBiaso when they heard of his retirement.

“We are dedicated to bring-ing the best professionals to campus,” said President Pe-ter Folan. “He is arguably the best coach in New England and an all-time great. It’s also the dedication to character and dedication to the kids that is great. His success in college placement is unparalleled.”

Two major things attracted DiBiaso to continue his career, he said, so shortly after leav-ing Everett. First, he enjoyed the small school atmosphere at CM, and he was impressed that the school will not try to move down divisions – even though the enrollment is on par with a Division 4 or 5 school rather than a Division 1 school.

Folan said they have an en-rollment of around 500 kids,

and they compete with much larger schools like Brockton, Xaverian and others.

“Having coached at Ever-ett, it was a community – a small town playing against the bigger cities,” DiBiaso said. “Everybody knew each other and everybody cared for each other. I had a very simi-lar situation (when I coached) at St. Pat’s and at Weston. They were all smaller schools and were playing against the bigger schools. One of the big attractions is I really rel-ish being the smallest school in Division 1…I like to go in a school – and loved it at Ev-erett – where I knew almost every kid. Everett grew to be 2,000 kids, so that began to be impossible, but when I first started teaching there were only 1,200 kids in the school, and I knew almost ev-ery one. That’s my goal here, to get to know everyone in the school…I like that type of at-mosphere.”

DiBiaso said he is excited to get started, and promised to give 110-percent effort to bring home a championship banner to CM. He said he is just learning the team, and will have an idea of what will work by September.

Meanwhile, he said he’s got a lot of good years to invest in the program and doesn’t plan on leaving any time soon.

“I hope to coach until I’m 80 and I’m only 61, so there’s 19 years,” he said. “Is 19 years a long time? Maybe if I keep taking my vitamins I’ll coach until I’m 90.”

Revere High School hock-ey recently went head to head with Swampscott. The game was messy with players down on the ice throughout the game. Rickie Briana started right wing. In the first period, he attempted to block the puck with his skate, and successful-ly did so with the front/top of his ankle. Then for no reason, a Swampscott player checked him in open ice. Rickie’s cage quickly slammed against the ice with a force so impactful it blew his chin open.

I screamed. Reneé screamed. The referees didn’t see anything – no penalty for Swampscott and no time out.

A little out of it and hyped on adrenaline, Rickie skated to the bench. He took a quick break, was checked for a con-cussion, then ready to go skate again! His teammate, Wayne, informed Rickie that there was blood by his chin strap. When Rickie reached to wipe his top lip his hand was drip-ping with blood. He removed his helmet for the athletic trainer to take a look thinking he had a bloody nose. GASH! He was taken to the locker room, cleaned up, given steri-strips and a big Band-Aid. Despite mom, me, and others discouraging him to play, Dad told us to keep quiet and en-courage him. He was back on the ice by period 3!

The score was 1-2 Swamp-scott for a majority of the game, but in the final 30 sec-onds Revere managed to steal a goal! The game ended in a tie of 2-2!

Mom, Rickie, and I head-ed to Boston Children’s for stitches. After taking Motrin for his headache, the nurse put me on topical numbing duty, applying numbing gel every one-two minutes for about half an hour. That stuff didn’t work!

The doctor came in with more numbing agents. Rick-ie felt the first three needles being horizontally inject-ed below his wound. That worked. fourteen stitches were then placed. Half of the

wound was deep (his right) and the other half was given stitches just in case, although it appeared to be more of an abrasion (his left).

Turns out Rickie is a real hockey player after all: play-ing with injuries! He is the toughest kid I know. He rated his chin pain a one on a scale of one to 10 with 10 being the most pain and his headache a four! Way to go, Bro! Now let’s all give him our hope that he isn’t left with a scar lead-ing him to have to repeat this story for eternity.

Tayla Briana is the sister of Rickie and the following sto-ry appeared on the web page neverwanderingalone.word-press.com.

Born and raised in Revere, he attended Revere Public Schools and graduated from Somerville Trade School in 1969.

Rita WhiteMass. Department of Revenue retiree

Robert “Bobby” Pugliese, Jr. of Revere passed away sur-rounded by his loving family on Jan. 11.

Bobby worked for the MBTA before his retire-ment. He was a member of the Legion, the Elks and the Lo-cal 589. Bobby’s passion was horse racing, and he also en-joyed all Boston sports teams.

Bobby was born in the West End of Boston on Aug. 16, 1941, to the late Robert Sr. and Mildred (Roberts) Pugliese. He was the beloved husband of Bridget (Carnaz-zo) Pugliese; devoted father of Edward Pugliese of Arling-ton, Deborah Isaac-Pugliese and her husband, Alejandro of Beverly, Christine Neubert and her husband, Bobby of Lynn, Robyn Diaz-Gonzalez and her husband, Jaime of Charlotte, N.C., Stacey Du-puis and her husband, Peter of Bolton, Lisa Carcione of Chelsea and Tina DeAlmeida of Revere. He was the cher-ished grandfather of 14, ador-ing great grandfather of two

and one on the way, caring godfather of Ariela Esmurria and dear brother of Francis Pugliese, Catherine Pugliese, and the late William Pugliese, Dennis Pugliese, and Mildred Lynch. He is also survived by many loving nieces and neph-ews.

Funeral arrangements were by the Paul Buonfi-glio & Sons-Bruno Funeral Home, Revere. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to St. Jude Chil-dren’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-1905. For guest book, please visit: www.Buonfiglio.com.

Family and friends are in-vited to attend visiting hours on Friday, Jan. 26, beginning at 9 a.m. in the Vertuccio & Smith Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107), Revere for Rita J. (Voke) White, who passed after a brief illness on Sunday, Jan. 21 at Hathorne Hill at Danvers. She was 94 years old. Her funeral will be conducted from the funeral home, following the visitation with a Funeral Mass in the Im-maculate Conception Church (corner of Beach Street and Winthrop Avenue.) Revere at 11 a.m. Interment will follow immediately at Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

Mrs. White was born to the late Richard A. Voke and Margaret (Roche) Voke in Chelsea on July 29, 1923. She was a graduate of Our Lady of Grace Elementary School and a member of the 1941 gradu-ating class at St. Rose Cath-olic High School in Chelsea. In 1950, she and her dear late-husband, Clerk of the Chel-sea Court, Stephen J. White, moved to Reservoir Avenue in Revere, where she remained for 68 years until just months ago when she became a resi-dent of Hathorne Hill in Dan-vers.

After the unexpected and sad death of her husband, Ste-phen in November of 1974, Rita returned to the work force at the Department of Revenue where she was an ad-ministrative assistant for over 15 years, retiring at age 70 in 1993.

She was the quintessence of a mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and auntie to so many. She certain-ly enjoyed her role as the ma-triarch of the Voke and White families.

She was an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan, going back to the days when Joe Sullivan

was their owner. And quite notably, having passed on Championship Sunday,” one cannot help but wonder at the coincidence of timing.

Gov. Deval Patrick said he hopes the state will realize $300 million in revenue from casino licensing fees in the coming year, even though ca-sino gambling legislation has yet to become a reality.

The First Congregational Church on Beach Street is un-dergoing a $375,000 renova-tion project that was prompted by a leaking roof that first oc-curred during a recent sermon by the Rev. Nick Granitsas.

mourning the passing of Rev. Anthony Veneto, who served as pastor of St. Anthony’s parish from 1975-87. Parish-ioners recalled Fr. Veneto as an old-fashioned priest who clung to the old traditions and values of the Catholic Church. He was 79.

An arbitration board has awarded $1 million to a con-tractor at the Beachmont School from which the city had withheld $340,000 in the

early 1980s because of al-leged defects in a sewer line that collapsed. The award in-cludes interest. City Solicitor Richard Villiotte said the city also can expect to lose pend-ing lawsuits that have been brought by the Pep Boys and Tennessee Gas Pipeline, both of whom have brought the city to court after being forbidden by city officials from proceed-ing with their projects.

NEWS FROM AROUND THE REGION

MS-13 MEMBER PLEADS GUILTY

CHELSEA - An MS-13 member pleaded guilty on Jan. 12 in federal court in Bos-ton to racketeering conspira-cy involving the murder of a 15-year-old boy in Lawrence.

Josue Alexis DePaz, a/k/a “Gato,” 21, a Salvadoran na-tional formerly residing in Lawrence, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conduct enter-prise affairs through a pat-tern of racketeering activity, more commonly referred to as RICO conspiracy. U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV scheduled sentenc-ing for April 6, 2018.

DePaz was identified as a member of MS-13’s Ever-ett Loco Salvatrucha (ELS) clique, which operated in the greater Boston area. When interviewed by law enforce-ment officers, DePaz admitted that on July 5, 2015, he was one of two men who stabbed a 15-year-old boy to death in O’Connell Park in Lawrence. In conversations recorded by law enforcement during the investigation, MS-13 mem-bers identified DePaz as one of the men who murdered the victim. DePaz was subse-quently arrested in a house in Somerville with several other MS-13 members. A search warrant at the house resulted in the recovery of a firearm, several large knives, photo-graphs of MS-13 members flashing gang signs, and a large volume of MS-13 para-phernalia, including blue-and-white hats, bandanas and ro-sary beads. According to court documents, MS-13 members frequently wear blue-and-white items of clothing to sig-nify their membership in the gang.

After a three-year investi-gation, DePaz was one of 61 individuals named in a super-seding indictment targeting the criminal activities of al-leged leaders, members, and associates of MS-13 in Mas-sachusetts. DePaz is the 28th defendant to plead guilty in this case.

DePaz faces up to life in prison, five years of super-vised release, and will be sub-ject to deportation upon the completion of his sentence.

RECENT STORM PUSHES FLOODING TO FOREFRONT

CHELSEA – When the Jan. 4 blizzard hit Chelsea and Greater Boston, it was a lot of snow – which was par for the course in January – but the eye-opener was the 14.99-foot high-tide that accompanied a storm surge.

Suddenly, blizzard con-ditions were matched with heavy flooding on Margin-al Street, Congress Avenue and Beacham Street – where the Island End River actu-ally went over its banks and threatened the New England Produce Center, which is a key cog in the region’s food supply.

To top it all off, the Chel-sea Street Bridge was actually closed because the Creek was too high to keep it open.

“It really puts a lot of things into perspective,” said Rose-ann Bongiovanni of Green-Roots. “It’s predicted that all the way up to the Market Basket will be under water by 2030 and beyond, but you see something like the storm on Jan. 4 and it seems like it could be 2025 or 2020, may-be sooner…There are a lot of people who think they don’t have to worry about this now because the predictions are way off in the future. Well, the Chelsea Street Bridge closed down because the Creek overflowed. Nobody would believe that would happen in 2018, but it did. It’s real. That’s what I think we should take from this.”

City Manager Tom Am-brosino said there was some significant flooding in the Island End River area, com-ing up by Signature Breads,

the marina and to the DPW Yard. However, the Produce Center didn’t have significant flooding. At the same time, it put into perspective that such a critical facility for the food supply in New England, some mid-Atlantic states and south-ern Canada could be in a very risky location.

“That was a scary situa-tion,” he said. “I know it came up very close to our DPW yard.”

There are already several grants in hand to do some in-frastructure work to shore up the Island End River (about $1.5 million in one grant), but Ambrosino and Bongiovanni said the storm on Jan. 4 puts an exclamation point on get-ting it done faster.

“That’s been one of our fo-cuses at GreenRoots for quite some time because it is a very key facility for the region,” said Bongiovanni. “We have been working with the Pro-duce Center and they say the bays are high enough that the produce won’t be compro-mised. We know they keep about three days worth of produce on hand, but what if the trucks can’t get there for three days or more. That Cen-ter provides all the produce for a large area, and that food supply would be cut off for as long as the flooding there per-sists.”

Bongiovanni said they have been working with the City on some ideas.

City Planners have suggest-ed salt marsh restoration that could naturally prevent flood-ing, as well as new sea-walls and green infrastructure.

A more ambitious project, Bongiovanni said, is a study to create a Micro-Grid in Chelsea that would be able to power places like the Produce Center and Beth Israel Medi-cal on Broadway if the electri-cal supply were cut off.

“Besides sea-level rise and flooding, we want to think about what would happen if the electrical grid were down and they couldn’t power their refrigeration units to keep the produce cold,” she said.

Partners in that upcoming study include the Produce Center, the City, Chelsea Pub-lic Schools, Chelsea Housing Authority and Beth Israel. They would all host renew-able energy generators that could be used just for Chelsea in an emergency.

“It’s the first stages of mak-ing the City completely ener-gy independent,” said Bon-giovanni. “That’s the kind of thing we really need to start thinking about when we see water coming up as high as it did.”

EVERETT SIGNS ONTO OPIOID NATIONAL LAWSUIT

EVERETT – The City of Everett is now one of several communities from Massachu-setts that have signed on to a nationwide lawsuit aimed at making opiate drug manu-facturers and distributers pay for past and future recovery efforts incurred by municipal-ities across America due to the Opiate Epidemic.

In his Inaugural Address on Jan. 2, Mayor Carlo DeMaria announced that Everett would officially sign on with a law firm in Boston and Malden to become part of the nation-wide case. The situation with opiate drug manufacturers and distributors has roiled Mayor DeMaria since last fall when a groundbreaking report on the TV news magazine ’60 Minutes’ showed that many small, rural pharmacies were becoming “pill farms,” where far too many pills were being suspiciously ordered from dis-tributors.

That allegation, in fact, is part of the lawsuit.

“On behalf of our city, I am signing onto a lawsuit against the corporate drug distributors who ignored sus-piciously large orders, and funneled millions of pills into small-town ‘pain clinics’ that

were merely a front for crime rings - all to increase their profits year over year as the addiction crisis continued to spiral,” said the mayor in his Address. “It makes me sick, and they should pay for what they have done to our society. On the other side, I want to thank those non-profits, pub-lic agencies and individuals who are out there every day fighting for those who are in crisis.”

According to Attorney Pe-ter Merrigan of Sweeney Mer-rigan Law in Boston – who are co-leaders of the lawsuit in Massachusetts – the case for Everett is being prepared and will be filed in the next two weeks along with others already filed.

Those who are also in on the suit in Massachusetts are Methuen, Greenfield, and Re-vere’s case is to be filed any day. About 12 other commu-nities have made verbal com-mitments, he said. Damages in the case, he said, are hard to put into numbers right now, but he said that would be de-termined as the case moves through the process.

“We are bringing suit on be-half of individual municipali-ties throughout Massachusetts against the manufacturers and distributers of opioids,” Mer-rigan said on Tuesday. “We are seeking damages for cities and towns, and those damages are forward looking and back-ward looking.”

For the backward-looking damages, that includes costs incurred by Everett for local recovery services. That could include recovery programs in-stituted by the city, NARCAN costs and EMS costs – all as a result of the increase in opi-ates.

For the forward-looking damages, that could include payment for more services and existing services. That could include long-term recovery services, prevention measures and educational programs.

“For the manufacturers, we believe they misrepresented the addictive nature of opiates to the public,” he said. “The distributers piece is much more complex…DEA rules require them to report suspi-cious orders, such as having large orders going to small pharmacies where there aren’t enough people to buy the opi-oids. What we found is they didn’t do that.”

The distributing companies include McKesson, Ameri-source Bergen and Cardinal Health, Merrigan said. They are very large companies with billions in revenues, and thus they have the ability to pay for what cities and towns believe is their fault.

“They are three of the big-gest 15 companies in America with gross revenues of more than $400 billion,” said Mer-rigan. “They have been able to make those tremendous prof-its and with it they’ve had one important safety measure and that is report possible safety violations and we found they didn’t do that.”

The suits involving Mas-sachusetts cities and towns, including Everett’s upcom-ing filing, start out in Boston Federal Court. However, all of them across the U.S. are being transferred to the Northern Ohio District Court in Cleve-land. There, a judge has al-ready held the first hearing on the case late last week.

Merrigan said it was en-couraging that the judge was aggressive in his first state-ments, saying he wasn’t going to make a ruling as to why people were dying, but that the problem should be solved. He pushed both parties to be-gin talking about what a set-tlement would look like in the case.

With some 200 cases na-tionwide, Merrigan said his group and other attorneys working on the case have a lot of work to do, but they have the resources.

“It’s a big undertaking,” said Merrigan. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work. But by

working with other lawyers, we have a significant resource pool to utilize. That will avoid any significant resource com-mitments from the cities and towns.”

Mayor DeMaria and the City have made significant resource allocations, howev-er, over the last few years to curb the effects of the opiate epidemic in Everett.

Last week, they announced a new, monthly, drop-in night center started on Jan. 25 and as part of the overall Roadmap to Recovery program. This initiative aims to aid families and individuals in navigating the accessibility of resources in Everett and to provide in-formation and possible solu-tions for substance use disor-der.

Previously, last February, DeMaria hired the City’s first Substance Abuse Clinician, Tory Cyrus. Her job is to work with several City departments, including the Fire, Police and Health departments, to ad-dress issues surrounding the opiate epidemic.

They have also hired Paul Guarino, who is paid via a grant that allows him to mon-itor youth prescription opiate misuse. He focuses on imple-menting local policy, practice and systems to prevent young people from getting more than a 30-day supply of prescrip-tion opiates. That, many be-lieve, has been the gateway to addiction to the pills that are the focus of the lawsuit.

The City has also hired a navigator in partnership with other organizations to help those in crisis find recovery opportunities.

All of those programs, as well as future programming, could be funded by the lawsuit if it is successful.

“We feel individual com-munities like Everett joining the litigation will allow dol-lars to do directly into the community to help it,” Mer-rigan said. “This is a commu-nity problems and the goal of this litigation is to create a community solution.”

Merrigan’s firm is the co-local counsel in Massachu-setts with Rodman, Rodman and Sandman in Malden.

OTIS SCHOOL CHILDREN ATTEND OPENING

EAST BOSTON - At the opening of a new exhibit in-side Logan Airport’s Terminal C that celebrates children’s literature and some of the most prominent children’s literature authors, Massachu-setts resident and author Jeff Kinney told a group of sec-ond-and third-graders from the James Otis Elementary School to never give up their

dreams. Kinney, author of the

widely successful ‘Diary of Wimpy Kid’ book series that has sold over 190 million cop-ies, told the students from the Otis the story of how he came to Boston to become a news-paper cartoonist. He was re-jected numerous times before one editor told him there was a bigger story within his car-toons.

Kinney came up with the idea of a middle-school weak-ling named Greg Heffley, who writes illustrated stories about his personal life. After he worked on the concept for eight years he published his first book in 2006 at the age of 35.

Kinney joined other local children’s book authors like Susie Rich (“Too Much Hop-scotch”), Anna Alter (“Sprout Street Neighbors”), and au-thor/illustrator Jarrett Kro-soczka (“Lunch Lady” series) as well as Massachusetts First Lady Lauren Baker to cele-brate the opening Logan’s ex-hibit “Massachusetts: Where Imagination Comes to Life.”

The walls inside of the Ter-minal E family playroom have been painted with characters, author biographies and quotes from some of the state’s most celebrated children’s book au-thors like Kinney, Dr. Seuss, Norman Bridwell (Clifford the Big Red Dog), and Eric Carle (The Very Hungry Cat-erpillar).

In fact, Bridwell’s widower Norma Bridwell told a simi-lar story to the Otis students of how her late husband was rejected time and time again as a children’s book illustra-tor until creating his own sto-ry about a big red dog named ‘Tiny’.

“It was my idea to name him Clifford,” said Mrs Brid-well with a smile.

Massport CEO Thomas Glynn said Massachusetts is also home to some of the world’s most beloved chil-dren’s book characters that grew from the imagination of extraordinarily talented au-thors and illustrators based in the Commonwealth. Favorites like "A Very Hungry Cater-pillar," "Clifford the Big Red Dog," and "Curious George" – just to name a few – have all come to life in Massachusetts.

“This exhibit highlights another incredible facet of all Massachusetts has brought to the world and I am proud Massport was able to work with local authors and illus-trators and Hudson Group to bring it to life,” said Glynn. “I look forward to seeing chil-dren’s faces light up as they see a familiar friend like Clif-ford or George up on the wall here at Logan.”

First Lady Baker took the opportunity to read passages

from Rich’s “Too Much Hop-scotch” to the Otis students and announced the students would all receive a free copy of the book.

“I am proud to join Mass-port in celebrating the Com-monwealth’s local authors and illustrators who have helped inspire children around the world to love reading,” said Baker. “The children’s liter-ature exhibit will continue to bring joy to children passing through Logan Airport for years to come.”

The exhibit was Inspired by an article by James Cullen in The Boston Globe last April on how Western Massachu-setts has become a center for children’s literature authors, Massport officials, Linda Pizzuti Henry of The Bos-ton Globe and Hudson News Group all came together to de-velop an exhibit to breath new life into the family play room at Terminal C.

Hudson Group has also opened a companion store to the exhibit down the hall, featuring local authors and artists’ work for curious kids and their families to check out before or after they fly.

“Hudson Group is proud to support such an amazing exhibit highlighting many of the Commonwealth’s talented children’s literature authors and illustrators,” said Joseph DiDomizio, president and CEO of Hudson Group, Di-vision CEO North America of Dufry.

To celebrate the occasion, Hudson made a $5,000 dona-tion directly to the East Bos-ton Branch of the Boston Pub-lic Library on Bremen Street.

“The heart of our compa-ny’s philanthropy work is to support education and the school community,” said Di-Domizio. “We look forward to championing that effort here in Boston.”

McGEE GIVES HIS SENATE FAREWELL SPEECH

LYNN – Mayor Thomas McGee officially gave his farewell speech to the Mas-sachusetts State Senate where he served until being elected Mayor of Lynn. The follow-ing is his speech:

Thank you, Madame Presi-dent and Mr. Minority Leader for the kind words of intro-duction.

Today is a bittersweet day for me as I say goodbye to all of you and to serving in the Massachusetts Legislature.

While I am excited for the challenges ahead, this build-ing has been a second home for me since I first walked down the halls as a 7-year-old with my father, and over these

last twenty plus years my col-leagues have been a second family.

Yet, in this moment, in this place that has meant so much to me, I want to begin by thanking my family – my wife, Maria, my children, Thomas and Katherine; my brothers and sister; and my parents who are no longer with us, but whose love and example always guide me, and all my extended family. You have al-ways supported me, inspired me and encouraged me and I cannot express how much that has meant to me and sustained me through the years.

To my constituents-- in Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Melrose, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott-- since I first be-gan serving in the Legislature in 1995, I have been honored to represent the communities that made up my districts and to give voice to the issues that mattered most to you... to lis-ten to your ideas to make our community stronger, and to advance policies to promote our shared prosperity.

Throughout my years in the Legislature, I have always tried to make a positive dif-ference in people’s lives. In my new role as the Mayor of Lynn, I hope to continue to make an impact towards pos-itive changes for our entire North Shore region. Thank you again for the opportunity and the honor to serve as your voice in the Legislature and for all that I have learned from you through the years.

To my former colleagues, in the House and the Senate, both those who are here today and those who are not, your commitment to public service and your passion for working toward solutions to complex issues for the residents of this Commonwealth has been re-markable and I have learned so much from you all. We have shared some great times together, we have weathered some difficult ones. We have been met with challenges and we have led the way to make certain that the values of this Commonwealth are protected.

For more than two decades, I have served in the state leg-islature, and I truly could not have accomplished all I have without the incredible staff that have been with me along

the way. Matt Hall, Joy Lonergan

Foraste, Gabrielle Viator, Frank Valeri, Elana Amaral, Sheri Warrington, Jeremi-ah Bresnehan, Kerri Kidney, Aimee Weeden, Corinne Pe-traglia Walsh, Brendan Crigh-ton, Jess Torres, Amanda Richard, Steve Smalley, Rob-in Ennis, Katie Kass, Meagh-en Hamill, Peter Rondeau and the many interns who worked in our office over the years. These men and women have worked tirelessly with me for the people I have represent-ed. Thank you to all my staff for your hard work, dedication and commitment.

To the people who make the Senate, the House and the State House such an amazing place to work every day--the staffs of the House and the Senate Counsel Offices, the staffs of the House and Senate Clerks Offices, the Court Of-ficers, the Park Rangers, the State Troopers, the Business Offices, the Personnel Office, the LIS staff, the Senate Ed-ucation Office, and all those whose efforts keep us safe and on track while ensuring that our undertakings are accessi-ble to the public, I thank you all.

While I was not here for John F. Kennedy’s original “City Upon A Hill” address made in this very chamber in January of 1961, it was a very poignant moment 50 years later when we came together as a body to hear the speech. In his remarks, then President-elect Kennedy spoke of the leadership of our great Commonwealth and the standard we have always held and still hold ourselves to as legislators- leaders not just in this state, but in the nation.

Kennedy said, “Cour-age- - judgment - - in tegr i -ty--dedication--these are the historic qualities of the Bay Colony and the Bay State--the qualities which this state has consistently sent to this chamber on Beacon Hill here in Boston and to Capitol Hill back in Washington.”

I have had the privilege to serve with hundreds of legis-lators who have stayed true to these standards in order to make a difference for their constituents and for the Com-monwealth, who were here

because they believe in public service and who have carried forward the ideals that have historically made the govern-ment of our Commonwealth an example for our nation.

I have had the privilege to be part of some historic mo-ments here on Beacon Hill. From debating and voting on the death penalty, which was the topic of my maiden speech, to leading the nation to provide healthcare for all citizens;

To establishing the Chil-dren’s Caucus to ensure that our most vulnerable citizens are protected and can grow up to their full potential;

To reorganizing the Depart-ment of Transportation in the wake of the Big Dig, and en-acting Transportation Finance Reform;

We have always debated the issues collegially and worked toward bipartisan resolutions that best serve the citizens of the Commonwealth and up-hold our state Constitution.

I will never forget the feel-ing- the electricity in the air of Constitutional Conven-tion as the vote was called on marriage equality- waiting with anticipation just like the thousands of people filling the gallery, the halls of the State House, and the streets outside the building and those watch-ing on television across the country.

After casting my vote for marriage equality and hearing the outcome, we did not re-alize that Massachusetts had not only upheld the values of equality but had also sparked a movement across the coun-try and around the world. I was, and still am, enormously proud to have played a role in ensuring equality for all our citizens.

These high-profile mo-ments highlight the complex matters that come before the General Court and often re-quire us to take a decisive stand for what we believe is right.

But, as I think back and re-flect on the past twenty years, I take great pride too in the day-to-day efforts of legisla-tors and staff-- working every budget cycle to secure critical funding for afterschool pro-grams, for employment train-ing, for community policing

and so many other priorities for our districts and the Com-monwealth;

Holding hearings and fo-rums to create open dialogue, whether about education re-form or about the need to in-vest in our roads, bridges and transit system all around the state;

Bringing people together to share a vision for a network of water transportation connect-ing communities all along our coastline to spur economic development and improve the quality of life for residents of the Commonwealth;

All the stakeholder meet-ings, public forums, late night sessions, and the floor debates that give us the opportunity to advocate on behalf of our constituents and to advance the issues that matter to them--these day-to-day efforts com-prise the work of our legis-lature just as much as, if not more than, the votes we take.

These are the things that have made this job an honor and that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I am excited about the op-portunity I have to continue to serve my home of Lynn as Mayor, and I look forward to the challenge. But, I will take with me the spirit of this building, the dedication of this body, and the core belief my father instilled in me that if we are able to make life better for one person, then we have achieved the true meaning of public service.

Thank you.

WHS BASKETBALL PLAYER DEVIN PULSIFER SCORES 1,000TH POINT

WINTHROP – Devin Pul-sifer has earned the moniker that all basketball players seek: He is “a scorer.”

The 6-foot-2-inch Winthrop High School senior guard can simply put the ball in the bas-ket at any time in any gym. He has excellent technique on his jump shot, can drive to the basket and finish, and knows how to elude a defender and get open for a pass.

So even as Pulsifer received the ultimate respect from the

Danvers coach with box-and-one and triangle-and-two-de-fenses designed to challenge him and backcourt mate Tay-juan McKenzie, Winthrop fans knew it was only a mat-ter of time before the talented 18-year-old hoopman would deliver the moment for which they had waited: the 1,000th-point of his WHS varsity ca-reer.

Pulisfer needed 10 points to reach the milestone, and he took care of it during an explosive second quarter. He hit two short-range shots, and sandwiched two free throws around a three-pointer. With 1:59 left in the half, Pulsifer grabbed his own rebound and swished a 10-foot floater in the lane to reach 1,000 points.

Pulisfer completed his memorable night with 17 points in a 73-56 victory over the Falcons.

“It was a good game, and I started off slowly in the first quarter, but I just kept playing the game with my teammates, and I knew it would happen as long as I played hard and played good defense,” said Pulsifer.

Pulsifer said his teammates stepped up in the first half and opened up the floor.

“David Diaz (16 points on terrific outside shooting), Alex Dernier (10 points), and Chro-no Washington (14 points) stepped up and hit some shots and got Danvers out of their defense and when they started pressing, it opened lanes so I could get to the basket and hit some open shots,” said Pul-sifer.

Senior guard Tayjuan McK-enzie had seven points while the rapidly improving 6-foot-8-inch center Elliot Frank had eight points, seven rebounds, and five blocked shots.

Pulsifer described the mile-stone-reaching shot as “an of-fensive rebound, putback.”

“I never really imagined what type of shot it would be – I just knew if I played hard I would end up getting it [1,000th point],” he said.

Pulsifer thanked the fans for their support and the col-orful signs in the student body section. “It showed a lot of school spirit and I liked it. It was a good crowd,” he said. “I want to give a shutout to

my teammates and coaches. I couldn’t have done this with-out them.”

Winthrop High Athletic Director Matt Serino stopped the game for a special pre-sentation to Pulsifer. Devin’s parents, Rick and Stephanie, joined him for the brief, on-court ceremony. His father was the Winthrop travel team basketball coach in grades five through eight.

“My father taught me the shooting techniques and how to play,” said Pulsifer.

WHS coach David Sacco, a 1,330-point man himself at Pope John XXIII High School in Everett, said it’s an impres-sive accomplishment for a high school player.

“It’s a great feeling any time you see a kid, especial-ly one of your own that you coach, score a 1,000 points,” said Sacco. “It’s really an out-standing achievement for him. Devin’s really worked hard over the past few years, es-pecially after I became coach in April. His game has real-ly evolved. He’s known as a very good three-point shooter, but he’s able to put the ball to the floor and go by people. He uses his body well around the hoop, and he’s able to finish a lot. He’s become a dual threat where he can shoot the ball and also get to the basket and score.”

One of the fans in atten-dance was former Winthrop High and Suffolk basketball player Nick Tsiotos, brother of 1,000-point scorer and bas-ketball legend Chris Tsiotos, for whom the Winthrop High court is named.

“Devin is just a great kid and an outstanding basket-ball player,” said Tsiotos. “He knows how to play the game, and it’s fun to watch him. This was an exciting night for the fans, the coaches, the players, and certainly a very proud one for Devin’s family.”

With the milestone in the record books, Pulsifer is set-ting his sights on some lofty team goals.

“The state title is the big goal,” said Pulsifer. “We want to make a better run in the playoffs than we did last year.”
