There were state successes and even some trips to the national high school indoor track championships. We caught up with some of the captains on their successful season: JV Cunha: second in state and scouting for scholarships JV Cunha, a senior, ran middistance events: 400, 600, 800. He said his top accomplishment this year was placing second in the 600-meter dash at the Massachusetts All-State Meet. “It was a very hyped-up meet that I had been preparing myself for a very long time,†Cunha said. “Although I would have loved to come out with the win, I was very happy with my performance. I improved my personal best and moved up to No. 24 fastest high schooler in the United States.†Quarry into Overlook Ridge, a huge residential development on the Revere-Malden-Saugus border, is nearly complete. But this week, a representative of Veris Residential, one of the three owners of Overlook, was at the City Council meeting for a public hearing on their request for a change to the zoning ordinance that created the Overlook Ridge Overlay District. Veris is asking to remove a requirement that developers build a hotel on a parcel next to the Malden-Revere co-op fi re station on Overlook Drive, a hotel promised to the late City Councillor George Colella back in 2008 when Revere’s portion of the development only allowed for residential. Instead, Veris wants a green light for retail establishments that would meet the needs and demands of the 4,000 residents in the complex. Removing the hotel requirement also allows Veris to move forward with a plan to build a fi - nal apartment building – adding 310 more units to Overlook. According to Veris, the new building is smaller and less dense than the 370-unit, eight-story building allowed by right. And Veris has agreed to make 15 percent of the new units aff ordable. City Planner Tom Skwierawski supported the requested change. “The changes presented are reasonable,†Skwierawski told the council. “There’s a reduced need for a hotel at this location, and a real need for neighborhood retail.†Skwierawski also applauded the plan to off er 15 percent of the new units at aff ordable rates. “That’s the most aggressive for aff ordable housing we’ve seen from a private sector partner that isn’t being subsidized by federal or state funding,†he said.

The project will increase the green space from 700 to 7,000 square feet. The townhouses will be market rate condos, but they will off er a more affordable opportunity for home ownership to many Revere residents. The developers are looking for variances for the front yard setback and the number of stories and a special permit from the City Council. The parking-compliant development will be three stories but only two and a half stories are allowed by right. “We are not going to get another project like this.

Several weeks ago, City Councillors Paul Argenzio and Joanne McKenna proposed changes to the local regulations that would keep food trucks away from Broadway, where they are cutting into the business of brick-and-mortar restaurants and distracting residents with the continual noise of generators. This week, the council held a public hearing on the amendments. Residents from the Broadway neighborhood turned out to support the changes that would keep the trucks off of their streets. Reservoir Road resident Stephanie Desisto, who said she supported the narrowly focused amendment, came to the podium with her cell phone. She said she wanted to share and tapped play on her phone. The council heard a recording of a gravelly mechanical noise. “I’m subjected to that nine hours a day, seven days a week,†she told the council. “It never stops.†Desisto also said the food trucks impact traffi c and parking in the neighborhood. She said the trucks take scarce parking spaces and obscure the view of drivers – causing a public safety hazard. “I’m not here to get you to feel sorry for me,†she told councillors. “The sad thing is a senior has to come here and fi ght for what little is left to my quality of life.†Restaurant owner Juan David Jaramillo said that as a business owner he initially supported the food trucks. He even agreed to allow truck workers to use his bathrooms. But these days, he has three REVERETV | FROM Page 2 You can watch these workout episodes between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on weekdays over the next few months on the Community Channel. The meetings currently scheduled to RTV GOV include the latest from the Commission on Disabilities, Affordable Houstrucks parked across from his restaurant every day. Jaramillo said it’s really cutting into his business and he may ultimately close for lunch. Jaramillo said the ordinance is meant to keep the trucks away from brick-and-mortar restaurants that sell the same or similar food, but that’s not happening. He said the trucks are affecting about 30 businesses in the neighborhood. “We got together and talked about it,†he said. Several other residents from Broadway also told the council about problems with noise and parking. Jessica Tores of 250 Broadway said she hears the trucks all day long, and she wondered how it will be during warmer months when people open their windows. “It’s driving me crazy to hear those trucks all day,†she said. Anthony Cantino, who said he had been in the business for 50 years, said he had never heard of a stationary food truck. “You’re allowed to work in the city but you’ve got to move,†said Cantino. Another resident said he has to crank up the volume on his television to hear it. Councillors were sympathetic and concerned about residents in the Broadway neighborhood around City Hall. But they were also concerned about the food truck owners. “It’s a tough situation,†said Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri, who added that the food truck operators are local residents and small business owners. “These are small business owners who went out and invested everything in a truck, and now they can’t work in the city,†said Silvestri. “Maybe we can come up with an ordinance that mandates them to change locations.†Councillor-at-Large Robert ing Trust Fund Committee, Revere School Committee, License Commission, Traffic Commission, Zoning Sub-Committee, Appointments Sub-Committee, Revere City Council, Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals.

The Advocate regrets the error. Over 45 Years of Excellence! Haas said that the City of Revere could look for a designated location for the trucks that wouldn’t aff ect residents. Haas reminded fellow councillors that several weeks ago when the amendments to the ordinance were fi rst discussed, the council heard from a local food truck owner who said limitations would have a devastating eff ect on her family livelihood. Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto said he likes the food trucks. “I like them on the beach, I like them moving around – I certainly don’t like them on Broadway in front of businesses,†said Zambuto. Ward 6 Councillor Chris Giannino agreed and said, “These are mobile operations that should be mobile.†The councillors seemed to agree with Desisto’s comment, “City Hall was never a makesense area to have food trucks.†The council voted to send the proposed amendments to the Legislative Aff airs Subcommittee, which will review the issue on April 29.

If you are a family caregiver who could use a little support, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) can help. MVES is a nonprofi t that specializes in supporting older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers. MVES has found that many caregivers aren’t aware of the guidance and services available to them – some think they can’t aff ord it, while others believe their income is too high to qualify for help. In reality, there are resources to assist all caregivers and families, regardless of their income. You don’t have to do it alone. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts awarded MVES a grant to develop new ways to support caregivers. The grant empowered MVES to provide monetary stipends to families that don’t qualify for MassHealth, so that caregivers can take advantage of in-person and online programs that suit their needs. MVES was also able to create a quarterly Saturday program at The Community Family’s adult day health center. Designed Local families are shown attending Mystic Valley Elder Services’ Memory Café featuring Fill My Heart With Song. A Memory Café, which is designed for people with memory loss and their loved ones to create positive experiences and develop a support network, is just one of the MVES programs that support family caregivers.

Not anymore. Surprisingly, Brazil is home to more than a million Lutherans, more than any other South American country. Lutherans started coming to Brazil in the 1800s and the populations has expanded through evangelism ever since. For those Brazilians who now live here, being able to experience the service like they did at home is important. Messiah Lutheran recognized the need when a few Brazilian families started attending every week, and, while they enjoyed the service, the pastors wanted the true spark of recognition in their eyes when the liturgy was spoken. There were hurdles to overcome. Messiah Lutheran is blessed with two pastors. Neither pastor spoke Portuguese. Pastor Jeremy Pekari took on that challenge and is improving every month, with friendly coaching from the parishioners. The core parishioners, who all call Peabody, MA home, include the Vorpagel, Morgan, and Borsa families. According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau (2019), in Peabody, Massachusetts, 4% of the city's total population speak Portuguese. And in the North Shore, which includes the cities of Lynn, Peabody, Salem, Beverly, and Gloucester, 5.4% of the region's total population speak Portuguese. Like many immigrant families, first one branch came to the United States and then other family members joined them. They then started building roots in their new community. One of the young members even found employment by going to Messiah Lutheran and connecting with another parishioner through the pastor. There are other hurdles to overcome, although these might be easier than learning an entirely new language. There is also the music. The fi rst few services didn't feature the familiar songs of home. That was soon rectifi ed by fi nding a source of the beloved familiar music that is currently piped through the speaker system. Messiah Lutheran has some guitarists who are willing to play music live, but the church is on the lookout for Pictured Left to Right: Andre and Monica Vorpagel; Pastor David Brezina; Eric, Karin, and Ivo Borsa; Patricia Morgan; Pastor Jeremy Pekari. Brazilians Now Feel at Home at the Portuguese Service at Messiah Lutheran in Lynnfi eld, MA, every third Sunday at 9 am. There will be a blended Easter Service of both English and Portuguese on Sunday, March 31. Portuguese singers who are willing to share their gifts with this growing service. The service developed quickly but quietly in the beginning, and the pastors and families feel it is now ready to share with a wider audience. The pastors have even successfully completed a wedding in Portuguese and are looking forward to the fi rst Portuguese Baptism. All are welcome. In closing, as the pastors say, "Deus vos abenзoe! (God bless you!)"

Below is the fi fth installment of the Navs' College Baseball Report, which will appear weekly on Mondays. LYNN, Mass. — It was an allaround week for incoming North Shore Navigators players during the sixth week of college play, as some strong pitching performances came together with hitters continuing their strong slugging streaks. Danny MacDougall (Endicott) returned to form for the top-ranked Division 3 team in the country during its spring trip to Florida, slugging four home runs in as many games to help the Gulls to a 12-1 start this season. MacDougall collected eight hits and 12 RBI over the course of the week, including a fi ve-hit day in last Monday’s win against No. 9 Johns Hopkins. The D3baseball.com Preseason All-American also hit two home runs and drove in four against Western New England on Saturday. He closed his week without a single strikeout against him and currently leads the Gulls with 18 RBI on the season. Staying at the Division 3 level, Navs returnee Sawyer Duarte (Middlebury) struck out seven batters across four innings of work on Tuesday against William Paterson. Duarte started the contest for the Panthers, pitching allowing just one hit in a scoreless outing. His seven strikeouts helped to bring his season total to 22, which leads all pitchers on the North Shore roster so far this spring. Fellow returning Nav Matt Chatelle (Merrimack) returned to slugging form, collecting his second home run of the season as part of a 3-for-9 week. Chatelle started his week by reaching base three times on a tworun homer and two walks and driving in three last Tuesday against local foe Northeastern. The catcher followed up the midweek eff ort with a strong Sunday performance to help the Warriors to a Northeast Conference sweep of Maryland Eastern Shore, going 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI and a stolen base. Chatelle took a page out of MacDougall’s book, as opposing pitchers were unable to strike him out all week. Brett Dunham (Northeastern) opposed Chatelle and Merrimack in his second start of the season, racking up a career-high five strikeouts across two innings. He allowed just one walk and one hit while surpassing his previous personal-best strikeout total of three, which he also set against his hometown Warriors last season. Infielder Brendan Jones (Holy Cross) joined the returning Navs group with a 3-for-3 game in Sunday’s win over Patriot League rival Bucknell. Jones came to the plate fi ve times and reached base in every plate appearance against the Bison as he also walked twice. Jones would come across to score three times, including the Crusaders’ fi rst and go-ahead runs in the 11-5 victory. Kyle Wolff (Boston College) fi nished the week going 7-for15 across four games, including a 4-for-8 stretch in Friday’s ACC doubleheader against No. 19 Virginia Tech. The fi rst baseman from Andover leads the Eagles with a.353 average and ties for the team lead in RBI with 27. Wolff began the week going 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Tuesday’s local rivalry clash with Northeastern before adding his fi fth round-tripper of the spring in the Eagles’ next game. He fi nished Friday’s games with two hits in each, recording a double and triple in the latter. Alex Luccini (UMass Lowell) helped the River Hawks open America East play with a 2-for-4 eff ort against UAlbany on Friday. Luccini logged three RBI with the help of his two extra-base hits, including a double and his fi fth home run of the season.

Not just the season changed, but the Revere High School student-athletes have turned the page from winter to spring season. Tryouts began last week, and games will begin soon. We caught up with some of the spring sports teams for a glimpse of what’s to come over the next three months. Softball: coping with low numbers The Revere High School softball team had a great week of tryouts and is hoping to have a JV and varsity team this year. Numbers are low, and they’re making the most of it. “The RHS girls softball program is looking forward to the up-and-coming season,†Revere coach Megan O’Donnell said. “Graduating only two seniors from last year’s team leaves us with a lot of experienced players coming back. We had a great run towards the end of last season so we are hoping to continue that this season. We want to make an impact statement in the Greater Boston League this year.†Revere has a 20-game schedule, and its goal is to make it the MIAA state tournament. The captains for the Patriots this year are seniors Isabella Qualtieri, Luiza Santos, Ally Straccia and Riley Straccia. “These four young ladies are strong leaders in all different ways, and they are ready to have a great season,†O’Donnell said. Revere got busy with two scrimmages this week, the latest Thursday at home against Winthrop. Revere girls track ready to ride winter momentum Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli returns to lead the Patriots’ outdoor track team after an incredible winter season in which the program swept the GBL championships. “We’re super excited to get our girls outdoor track season underway after such a successful indoor season,†MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “We had about 50-60 girls at practice this fi rst week. I won’t cut anyone unless they stop coming or something serious happens, so I don’t consider it tryouts.†The coach said it’s been great to see how the previous members of the indoor team have stayed in shape throughout the off season and how excited they are to pick up right where the Patriots left off . Last year, the Revere outdoor girls track team went 5-2 on the outdoor season and were only a couple points off of being outdoor GBL champions. “I think this year we’re coming in even stronger and have such great young talent in people like Olivia Rupp and Gemma Stamatopoulos,†MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “Both are coming off of an excellent indoor season and will lead our team through the mid-distance and distance races. Liv Yuong and Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez are both close to multiple outdoor records as well and are coming off record-breaking performances in indoor. We also gain a couple strong athletes from basketball including captain Rocio Gonzalez and Marwa Riad.†Revere’s captains are: • Angelina Montoya • Camilla Echeverri • Rocio Gonzalez • Ashley Chandler • Yara Belguendouz • Giselle Salvador This will be MacDonald-CiNAVS BATS | FROM Page 12 ing members of North Shore’s lineup. It was another blistering weekend for Stetson freshman center fi elder Kyle Jones, who turned in a 6-for-13 line in a three-game sweep of Lipscomb. That outburst brought his average from an already-impressive.357 to.378, which leads both the Hatters and incoming Navs hitters. He also leads Stetson with 31 hits and a.531 onbase percentage to open the season. As for this past weekend, Jones started with a 2-for4 Friday game in which he hit his sixth double of the year and drew a walk. He finished the weekend with two hits in each of the Hatters’ games, giving him nine multi-hit games on the season and a streak of 12 consecutive games reaching base. Fellow Hatter Zane Coppersmith gave his best on the mound, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings across two games. Coppersmith’s first test came last Tuesday where he was tasked with holding down No. 12 Florida State, pitching a hitless inning. He also tossed 1.1 innings to earn his second win of the season in relief against Lipscomb, lowering his season ERA to 0.93 as a result of six shutout performances. Another pitcher who stepped ambelli’s fourth year coaching the girls outdoor team as head coach and seventh year including her time as an assistant. “My second year we went undefeated in the league and fi nished as GBL champs,†MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “The seniors on the team are eager to get back to that status. I’m eager for them to keep performing to their highest capacity, and I know those wins and records will keep coming.†The coach said the Patriots’ biggest area for development will continue to be their throws in the absence of a specific throws coach. “However,†she said, “our upperclassmen continue to improve in both the discus and shotput so I am hopeful we will hold our own at GBL meets in this area.†up against a ranked opponent was Jack Volo (Georgetown), who threw 1.2 innings without allowing a run against No. 14 Virginia last Tuesday. Volo allowed just one hit against him, marking his fourth consecutive scoreless outing. He has thrown 5.2 innings with a strikeout during that streak. Reece Moroney (Rhode Island) remains the Rams’ lone.300 hitter after going 2-for-4 with three runs scored in a 19-15 win over Stonehill last Wednesday. He also drove in two runners while drawing two walks, raising his season walk total to 8 and bringing his batting average to.309. Fellow infi elder Mason Dobie (Dayton) recorded a hit in each of the Flyers’ four games and totaled six against Butler over the weekend, extending his current hitting streak to eight. Dobie’s best performances came during a 4-for-9 Sunday doubleheader in which he hit his fourth home run of the season and moved his RBI total for the season to 21. The Navigators will return to historic Fraser Field and the NECBL for their 17th summer season in 2024, with fi rst pitch set for Tuesday, June 4.

I saw improvements in my fi rst race of the season and continued to follow that routine.†Cunha finished the indoor season by competing at Nike Indoor Nationals. He didn’t get to run the time he was hoping to run, but he’s looking forward to bouncing back in the outdoor season that started last week. He is slowly easing back into the intensive running for the outdoor season. He hopes to win the state meet this coming season. “I am currently getting recruited to run Division 1 track and fi eld at the University of Rhode Island,†Cunha said. “It is pretty much all set with the coaches. I have been on three visits there with the team and spent a night there with them. I have a phone call with them to fi nalize and talk about an athletic scholarship.†Isaiah DeCrosta: from injury to All-American Isaiah DeCrosta, a junior capRevere trackster Kevin Purcifull At last year’s 2023 nationals, pictured from left to right: JV Cunha, Sami Elasri, Medy Bellemsieh and Isaiah DeCrosta.

Learning how to fully run again and hurdle was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Long PT sessions and hours of icing later, I am back and stronger than ever – ready to shatter records this outdoor season.†DeCrosta said the best team accomplishment is the AllAmerican status at Nike Nationals. Placing second in the sprint medley was the “best feeling of my life. Feels like you could take over the world.†During the off season, DeCroRevere’s JV Cunha crosses the fi nish line. sta focused on strengthening his legs and muscles to be able to have more powerful ground contact. “That also has helped me get faster in between the hurdles and when running the curves,†he said. The next step sports and academics-wise is to go to a prestigious school for both track and academics. He will continue to be an honor roll student and excel greatly in his races, he said. “After high school, I will run track … and study law at one of the top schools,†DeCrosta said, “my dream schools being the Oregon Ducks and the Florida Gators.†Medy Bellemsieh: state medalist and GBL champion Medy Bellemsieh, a senior, ran the 600-, 400- and 200-meter runs. “I would say my top accomplishment this season would be getting eighth place and medaling at Division 1 indoor states for the 600-meter because last season I didn’t even qualify for states, and in one year to not only qualify but also medal was a big accomplishment for me,†he said. The best team accomplishment was defi nitely winning the Greater Boston League championship meet. “I always believed that we were the best team in the GBL but our in-season record was 4-2,†Bellemsieh said, “so winning that meet proved that we were the best as a team.†This indoor season, the sprinter was injured for the fi rst month. When he came back, his focus was getting back into shape, focusing more on longer distances to get his stamina back after not running for a month. “Sports-wise next for me is trying to qualify for nationals in the 400-meter,†he said. “Academically, I’m preparing to major in finance at whatever college I end up at.†Kevin Purcifull: recordbreaking senior’s dual triumphs Kevin Purcifull, a senior, competed in the shotput and weight throw for the Patriots. His top accomplishments are a tie between breaking his own school record for the weight throw, placing seventh at All-States (MIAA Meet of Champions) and qualifying and participating at nationals. “I say these three because it showed the pay-off my work, training and progression over the years doing track and fi eld,†Purcifull said. What was the best team accomplishment and why? “Winning the GBL championship because it took a team eff ort and everyone had a role to play to make this happen and continuing our streak for now three years in a row,†Purcifull said. His training regimen: staying active and fi t and being patient, determined and focused in order to improve and grow. Purcifull has started the outdoor season of track and fi eld and will be going to college and continuing to do track and fi eld there.

There were no roll calls in the House last week. REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (S 2703) Senate 40-0, approved a proposal that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.†The practice is often used by exspouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure makes it illegal to break this new law and establishes a sentence of up to 2.5 years in prison and/or a fi ne of up to $10,000; increases the upper limit of the fi ne for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000; and allows a victim to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors, can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Off ender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. “With passage of this bill today we take another step towards closing a loophole in our laws that has caused pain, anguish, embarrassment and a sense of helplessness to those survivors who for so long suff ered in silence, without justice,†said chief sponsor Sen. John Keenan (DQuincy). “I am deeply grateful to those who shared their stories and advocated for change to ensure others would not have to suff er as they have. For every case we know of, countless others remain hidden, so I hope passage of this legislation by the Senate will soon lead to the bill being signed into law by the governor. Most importantly, I hope it will provide some closure for survivors and their loved ones and send a clear message that there will be consequences for such conduct.†“I am proud that the Senate has passed comprehensive legislation to prevent abuse and exploitation,†said Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough), Senate Chair of the Judiciary Committee. “The rise of new technology has created a reality in our society where it is easy to cause great harm and signifi cant trauma to people, and Massachusetts needs to take action to better protect victims and prevent such disturbing actions from happening. We also need to provide more tools to protect people in a relationship from being psychologically abused through coercive control, with a growing recognition of the many ways that a partner or family member can cause emotional harm.†The House has already approved a diff erent version of the bill and a House-Senate conference committee will likely work out a compromise version.

The bill requires each family in shelter to receive an individualized rehousing plan. It makes eligibility for shelter after nine months contingent upon compliance with the rehousing plan, with certain categorical exemptions. It would also allow offi cials to award one or more 90-day extensions to shelter residents who meet certain criteria, such as veterans, the disabled, a single parents of children with disabilities or those who need an extension to avoid losing a job. Other provisions keep in place some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for take-out and expanding outdoor dining. “The plan passed by the Senate today addresses the state’s fi scal reality while also treating individuals who have migrated to our state with dignity and respect,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “As we continue to navigate through a challenge that has landed on our doorstep because of Congressional inaction, today we are addressing the immediate need to house families, bolstering our existing eff orts to support those who have immigrated here in becoming part of our workforce, and providing a roadmap to manage this eff ort over time.†“The Senate recognized the necessity of continuing to proactively respond swiftly and decisively to meet this unprecedented humanitarian emergency shelter crisis head-on, by not only providing the requisite funds to address this crisis, but also provide a long-term framework to transition these families out of temporary shelters and into permanent housing,†said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “With $250 million in emergency funding for fi scal year 2024, we can weather this challenge as we develop solutions for rehousing families, provide workforce opportunities and integrate these children into our public school system. “I voted No on the supplemental budget because the “Right to Shelter†law is costing the commonwealth $3 million a day to house, feed, protect and educate or provide childcare services to individuals and families who are not our residents,†said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “Our emergency shelter program was never meant to handle the number of individuals it is housing today and the federal government, who has the sole authority to handle this immigration crisis and provide fi nancial relief to states, is nowhere to be found,†said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld) who also voted against the measure. “As the demand for the program continues at this unsustainable rate, we simply cannot continue to fund this ourselves without jeopardizing countless critical programs that we hold dear.†Sen. Bruce Tarr, the chief opponent of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to explain why he voted against it. (A “Yes†vote is for the budget. A “No†vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES MUST CONSULT WITH STATE (S 2708) Senate 8-31, rejected an amendment that would require resettlement agencies to consult on a monthly basis with the Governor’s Executive Offi ce of Housing and Livable Communities to ascertain the projected availability of space in the state’s shelter system. It also prohibits resettlement agencies from undertaking resettlement activity when it is foreseeable that the shelter system will exceed capacity. “By directing resettlement agencies to work more closely with the Healey Administration, [the amendment] would have helped the commonwealth better forecast its shelter capacity and ensure that we always have space for those who need it most,†said Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury) who voted in favor of the amendment. “I believe this would’ve been key to ensuring that our emergency shelter system is not overrun and that we can keep costs from spiraling out of control.†Amendment opponents said the amendment is unnecessary and argued the resettlement agencies do a great job and should not be handcuff ed and tied up with the bureaucracy. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment and Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington) who opposed the amendment did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them to explain why they voted the way they did. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment. A “No†vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No TAKE INTO ACCOUNT LENGTH OF RESIDENCY IN BAY STATE (S 2708) Senate 12-27, rejected an amendment that would require the state take into account an individual’s length of residency in Massachusetts when determining priority in securing emergency shelter. “While this amendment is not a residency requirement, it would’ve made sure those who have demonstrated a longer commitment to the commonwealth are prioritized for extended stays in the commonwealth’s emergency shelter system,†said Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury) who voted for the amendment. “To be clear, there are important exceptions to this rule – those who are at imminent risk of harm due to domestic violence and those who are making progress toward work authorization will not be skipped over. This strikes me as a reasonable compromise to ensure our emergency shelter system is available to Bay Staters who need it fi rst, while preserving the spirit of the law that maintains Massachusetts as a place that is welcoming to all.†Amendment opponents said this would essentially create an unfair residency requirement that would have Bay State residents competing with each other for slots. They noted there are already reasonable provisions in the bill which prioritize pregnant women, victims of domestic abuse, work status and veterans’ status. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment and Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) who proposed the amendment did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them to explain why they voted the way they did. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment giving preference to length of residency. A “No†vote is against the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No CONDUCT SAFETY REVIEW (S 2708) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would require the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, in conjunction with the Executive Offi ce of Public Safety and Security, to conduct a safety review of current safety practices and implement recommendations to reduce the risk to human life and safety. “It is essential that state run emergency shelters and overflow sites maintain the highest standards of safety to protect the families in our care,†said amendment sponsor Sen. Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “I’m pleased the Senate unanimously adopted this amendment to require a clear and eff ective safety plan at these sites.†(A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Sen.

Some seniors love the latest high-tech smartphones with high-megapixel cameras, while others prioritize simple phones with basic functions. So, the best cell phone for your mom will depend on her comfort with technology, priorities and budget. Best Cell Phones To help identify the best cell phones for older adults, I consulted Wirecutter, a product testing and recommendation service from The New York Times who recently tested 18 cell phone models. Their testing focus was on three different areas, including best phones for older adults who are comfortable with technology and want to upgrade to a full-featured smartphone with robust accessibility settings; best cell phones for seniors who are not tech-inclined or who prefer a smartphone with fewer features, as well as those who are experiencing vision, hearing, or dexterity issues; and best cell phones for elderly seniors who need specifi c accessibility features due to physical or cognitive issues. Here are their top choices based on their tests. Apple iPhone 15 Plus: This is a great choice if your mom is comfortable with technology and willing to spend more for a toptier smartphone with a range of accessibility, health, and safety features. The 15 Plus has an easyto-read, large (6.7-inch) screen and the most robust health and safety features, including an off - grid SOS, a personal-safety check, and plenty of customizable accessibility options that help seniors with vision and hearing loss, as well as with speaking and/or dexterity problems. ($899, apple.com).

Restrictions that significantly increase the cost of the equipment, decrease its effi ciency or eff ectively prohibit its installation would not be permitted. The bill would also require owners to pay the costs of installing and maintaining the charging equipment and for the costs of the electricity consumed during charging. “As the commonwealth moves away from gas powered vehicles, we are going to need increased access to electric vehicle charging stations,†said co-sponsor Rep. Michelle Ciccolo (D-Lexington). “With 40 percent of emissions coming out of our transportation systems, it is essential that we make operating an electric vehicle as seamless as owning a gas vehicle. For that reason, we can’t have local siting boards prioritize aesthetics over access to charging.†COVID-19 REMEMBRANCE DAY (H 2987) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would designate March 10th as COVID-19 Remembrance Day to honor all the people, especially older adults and people with disabilities, who died or were stricken with COVID-19. The measure also expresses appreciation of fi rst responders, caregivers and researchers who cared for victims or developed treatments or vaccines in response to the virus. The measure would not take eff ect until March of 2025 since March 10th of this year has already passed. “I am very pleased to see action taken toward establishing COVID-19 Remembrance Day which would honor those who have been lost to or aff ected by COVID,†said co-sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “It also acknowledges the essential workers who helped us get through the hardest times and contributed to our commonwealth’s recovery.†“At the time of the pandemic, I was the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Elder Aff airs, and had an upfront seat, in a sense, to the tragedy that was unfolding especially in our nursing homes, REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS SELLER1 BUYER2 Miller, Mindy M Kaur, Sarbjit Ephesus LLC Marrone Ft Cynthia Irt Agd Rt Ephesus LLC and to aging adults, generally,†said co-sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton). “ I feel it is important to remember those we lost and to honor those who helped keep us safe.†REQUIRE BANKS AND OTHER MORTGAGE LENDERS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (H 933) – The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would require banks and other mortgage lenders to provide additional information on a monthly basis to their borrowers including the balance of principal remaining; a confi rmation of the most recent payment received; the balance of any escrow accounts; and a description of any payments from those escrow accounts. “The intent of this legislation is to provide mortgage customers with the tools they need to ensure knowledge of their fi nancial situation,†said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “This bill is an easy measure that we can take to help residents achieve greater fi nancial stability and awareness.†MUST BE 21 TO ATTEND CANNABIS EVENT (H 112) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would prohibit anyone under age 21 from attending any marijuana-related event, forum, convention or conference to promote or encourage marijuana use or to educate users or prospective users on marijuana use. The measure exempts prevention programs for youth, youth educational programs or substance abuse programs related to marijuana use. Any event organizer who violates this law would be fi ned $2,000 but the fi ne would not be imposed if the organizer reasonably relied on IDs that turned out to be phony. “This [existing] loophole contradicts laws that prohibit cannabis consumption for people younger than 21,†said sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “Closing this loophole will provide clarity and prevent youths from attending cannabisrelated events,†CHANGE LANGUAGE IN LAW THAT CREATED COUNCILS ON AGING (H 624) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would change some language in the 50-year-old law that created Councils on Aging in local cities and towns. Changes include deleting language that refers to “problems of the aging†and replacing it with “the needs of older adults;†deleting language that calls workers “clerks†and replacing it with language that calls workers “staff ;†and adding “and delivering services†to the language in the bill which gives the council the authority to “carry out programs.†Supporters said the bill modernizes the language in a 50-yearold law that created Councils on Aging at a time when there were very few senior centers. They noted that the number of Councils on Aging and senior centers has grown to 350 and said the bill updates the statute to refl ect the modern functioning of these critical centers. Sponsor Rep. Kate Donaghue (D-Westborough) said she is thrilled that the bill received initial approval. “I fi led this bill because senior centers are integral parts of each community, serving as a resource for every older adult and providing comprehensive programming and services to support the needs of the growing number of older adults across the commonwealth,†said Donaghue. FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS (H 563) – The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would require all public schools, with grades 6-12 students, to maintain free menstrual products, including sanitary napkins and tampons in restrooms and to make them available in a “convenient manner that does not stigmatize any persons seeking the products.†“Requiring schools to provide free menstrual products will not only reduce distractions throughout the day but will also reduce embarrassment by guaranteeing that essential health items are readily available when needed,†said sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (DFranklin). “Such access ensures that students can attend classes and participate in extracurricular activities without interruption. Toilet paper and paper towels are available free of charge at high schools and middle schools and menstrual products are no less essential to a student’s wellbeing. No student should face any barrier, fi nancial or otherwise, to accessing basic health essentials.†QUOTABLE QUOTES “Things are diff erent than they were the last time I was here. Last time I was here, we had money. I could be a hero.†---House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) at the beginning of his SELLER2 ADDRESS 35 Hichborn St Marrone, Dennis J 175 Ward St #32 Biscon , Julia M Huang, Huili 123 Augustus St 7 Park Ave #11 106 As Ave speech to members of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. “Now, I understand that the idea of a transfer fee is a cause for concern for some of you, but if you believe that the issue of housing aff ordability is a genuine crisis, then we must explore all options that have the potential to make a real diff erence. I look forward to having continued conversations with members, and with the business community, on how we can bolster the development of more aff ordable housing, while ensuring that Massachusetts remains competitive.†---House Speaker Mariano commenting on being open to a local-option real estate transfer tax to boost the aff ordable housing supply. “The speaker is the latest politician fl oating the idea of further tax hikes that will only exacerbate the problem it is trying to fi x. If the speaker is concerned with the cost of housing, he should provide property tax relief. If the speaker wants to help make Massachusetts more economically competitive, he needs to change his mindset away from harmful tax hikes and spending sprees and look to what the top two destinations for people leaving Massachusetts—Florida and New Hampshire—are doing, namely cutting taxes to attract taxpayers.†---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, on Mariano’s openness to a localoption real estate transfer tax. “It is my great pleasure to donate these men’s and women’s suits and dress clothes on behalf of the residents of Norfolk County. I hope that by partnering with the Offi ce of Youth Employment and Opportunity, we can help to eliminate some of the barriers for young job seekers, empowering them to present themselves confi dently in interviews.†---Norfolk County Register of Deeds William O’Donnell announcing the success of an initiative to help individuals just starting out on the road to fi nding a job, noting the high price of a suit can be an insurmountable obstacle, and it can represent a missed opportunity. “While alarming, today’s warning issued by the Department of Public Health is not a surprise.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 1822, the House met for a total of one hour and 15 minutes and the Senate met for a total of ten hours and 27 minutes. Mon.

Silvestri did have one request: He asked if Veris would be willing to raise an American fl ag on the rocks in the back parking lot. Silvestri said that every spring, residents across from Overlook fl y a gigantic American fl ag and they asked if Overlook could install a fl agpole.

But it was her passions outside of work that truly defi ned her. Margaret had a unique love for gardening, a hobby that allowed her to cultivate beauty and life around her. Her garden was a testament to her nurturing spirit, a place where she could express her creativity and share the bounty of nature with others. Another passion was baking cookies for all of the holidays and family events. In the winter months, she enjoyed traveling to Del Ray Beach, Florida, a place she held dear and considered her second home. Margaret was a dear sister to the late Mario Kapamagian and The rep from Veris quickly agreed. “It’s hard to say no to the fl ag,†he said. Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto said that when he fi rst heard the plan to eliminate the hotel he was freaking out, but that was a long time ago, he said. “We’ve put up six hotels since then; we don’t need a hotel up there,†said Zambuto, who added that retail is desperately needed in the neighborhood. And you set a new mark with aff ordable housing,†he said. Ward 6 Councillor Chris Giannino thanked Veris for its commitment to address the infrastructure improvements needed at the Overlook Drive neighborhood,†said Silvestri. “I hope this is a start to more projects like this in the city.†Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio called the plan “a great project and a breath of fresh air from what we’ve been seeing.†Argenzio said he was in full support of it. “Generally, I’m not in favor of special permits, but I would love to see more projects like this,†said Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelly. “This allows for a path to home ownership, which is exactly what we want to see.†Councillor-at-Large Juan Pabor a viewing party, BBB recommends doing some research fi rst: • Know the time the eclipse is happening in your area. • Check venues for any special instructions, admission fees and parking options. • If you are unsure about an event or venue, reach out to his late wife Hilda, the late Louise Barthelmess and her late husband Lester, and the late Alexander Kapamagian, whose wife Camille survives.

Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya commended Veris for the agreement on aff ordable housing and asked what type of retail Veris is considering. The development company envisions a small green grocer, or Bodega, where residents can pick up milk and bread – not a big box grocery store. The council’s Zoning Subcommittee will review the request from Veris at their meeting on April 8. lo Jaramillo was pleased to see the dramatic increase in green space and said it will, hopefully, help ease the fl ooding on Rosetti Street.
