Peter Thacher (1752– 1802), a Congregational minister from Malden, Massachusetts, was not only the “shepherd of souls,” but also, like his father, Oxenbridge Thacher, Jr. (1720–1765), an ardent patriot of America. While Rev. Thacher was called the “silver voice of the American Revolution,” Oxenbridge Thacher, Jr., a “poet, a very eminent lawyer, and a coadjutor of the early patriots of the Revolution,” was called the man who awakened the American Revolution. Oxenbridge Thacher’s brilliant political pamphlet “The Sentiments of a British American” was considered a prerevolutionary philosophical tractate. According to John Adams, he did quite a lot for “an awakening and a revival of American principles and feelings,” giving “…the first impulse to the Ball of Independence … His patriotism was as ardent as his progenitors had been ancient and illustrious in this country.” According to Malden historian Deloraine Corey, Peter Thacher “By both pen and speech... gave utterance to words by which the patriotic passions of the population were wrought up to white heat. Some of those words..., seem still hot with the old fire that burned in them when they came fresh from his pen and lips.” The Hon. Harrison Gray Otis (1765–1848), a Senator and U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts, wrote about Peter Thacher’s role in the Revolution: “During the Revolutionary struggle, he was found earnest and resolute in the cause of his country. Many of his discourses from the pulpit breathed a spirit of glowing patriotism, and were admirably adapted to stimulate his hearers to peril everything, —if need be, to sacrifice everything, for their First Church of Malden Oxenbridge Thacher, Jr. final phrase “O God, let America be free!” inspired not only the revolutionary soldiers but also the authors of the Declaration of Independence. On May 10, 1776, in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, it was “resolved... that the inhabitants of each town in this colony ought... to advise the person or persons who shall be chosen to represent them in the next General court, whether if the honorable Congress would, for the safety of the said colonies, declare them independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain, the said inhabitants will solemnly engage with their lives and fortunes to support the Congress in the measure.” The Malden Instructions were among the earliest issued by the Massachusetts towns (on May AUTHOR | SEE PAGE 9 Eastern Bank Building on Rte. 1S 605 Broadway, #301 * Saugus (781) 233-6844 www.bostonnorthdental.com Rev. Peter Thacher Page from the Malden’s Book of Town Records country’s liberty. In private, he also evinced much of the same spirit, and sometimes addressed considerable assemblages of his fellow citizens, with great eloquence and effect, upon the state of the times.” Corey underlined that “It was not alone as a pastor and preacher that he stood pre-eminent in the exercise of his abilities. With his quickness of mind and natural impetuosity, which he tempered and restrained, he threw himself with effect into the consideration of those great questions which took precedence, even over religion, in the minds of men, and placed himself at once in the front rank of those who in the pulpit and by the pen gave direction and strength to public opinion. His mind and energy gave form to the feelings of his townsmen in several papers, which have distinction for their deep and earnest patriotism and their fearlessness of utterance.” Thacher’s main weapons were his orator’s skills, his sermons and his revolutionary ardor (or fever) that inspired the colonists to fight for their freedom. Thus, on March 5, 1776, Bostonians asked him “to pronounce the oration against standing armies, which had been annually delivered in Old South Church, in commemoration of the Boston Massacre that took place on that day in 1770.” The British Governor did not allow him to organize this service in Boston, so “Mr. Thacher performed it with great applause at Watertown.” His emotionally powerful “Boston Massacre Oration” with its FOR SALE - MIXED-USE COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL 225-229 Highland Ave., Malden MIXED-USE Two Commercial Convenience Stores AND Three Apartments - Two, 2-Bedoroom & One, 1-Bedroom Yearly Rental Income: $166,200 Call (781) 520-1091 Dr. Priti Amlani Dr. Bhavisha Patel * Restorative Dentistry * Cosmetic Dentistry * Implant Restoration * Zoom Whitening * Teeth in a Day - All on 6 * Invisalign * CEREC Crowns (Single Visit Crowns) * Root Canal Treatment * Sedation Dentistry ~ Full Mouth Rehabilitation ~ Before After ׉ 7cassandra://IeySjukGpVf_zoafAiRIjoTnhyCuu0Aoj8AMIlHIlyg,]`̰f_+L]Ɂf_+L]ȁ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://GRjPyQSMkkZhG2eVd8-JNKl140qWofiikIMGZNwr_VA`)׉ 7cassandra://513u9L1kq4oQGAoM_fua35kgSj4zRSVhG8qX-UpMD8A͊`J׉ 7cassandra://PULWEV6KZD3-O9Qx9LKbX2Evwh6B3XpJIPowjHlWYUY)`̰f_-L]ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://z5KS18V8cqiVBOgSAvXJ7oHFPuK3salbeyOExaLzOHI`)׉ 7cassandra://QWX4-Ep8q5ZErU6-98HIeh31ADfYZ_xSIXzsKbZ4F5s͚c`J׉ 7cassandra://VL2Ie66bcQ5TK9CJwx5-r0yuPLsELx7dIjAD3hPgR5k-%`̰f_-L]נf_.L]U9ׁHhttp://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COMׁ ׁ Јנf_.L] b9ׁHhttp://angelosoil.comׁ ׁ Јנf_.L]ȕj9ׁH$http://Facebook.com/Advocate.news.maׁ ׁ Јנf_.L]L=9ׁH#mailto:reception@forestdalepark.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 19, 2024 Malden delegation joins Mass.

Joining trailblazing public official Herbert Jackson, City of Malden Clerk Karen “Superstar” Anderson, World War II hero/MFD Chief Jack Garrity and Bob “Mr. Malden Baseball” Rotondi, will be the two newest Malden heavyweights to be immortalized in stone: Sal Gennetti and Bill Dempsey. Butch writing the book and the blueprints on how and what community policing should look like first as a patrolman then as Commissioner and World War II hero and lifelong educator Bill Dempsey. Think of this for a moment: Almost 500 years of life between these legends of Malden, and I would bet my last dollar bill not once did their actions divide Malden; in their long, illustrious careers each individual putting the public good selflessly before themselves. This one’s of you Butch, Malden’s best friend for 86 years... We are still in shock three weeks later. A world without Butch Gennetti don’t seem real. Butch was larger than life. The legend of Butchie Gennetti was drilled into our heads early in life. Sorta like learning your ABCs or how to count. There was Butch, it was his world (and neighborhood); we just lived in it. My long journey with Butch began in 1973. The Devir Park 9 of the Ronny Cox–created Malden YMCA Outreach Softball League played the Malden Police Department at Pine Banks in a friendly exhibition game. Butchie was the Rico Petrocelli of the MPD, and it was so long ago, Butchie still had hair (jeans pulled up tight in Butchie’s trademark style even back in ’73)! Anyway, before the game my bestie – Jimmy Damiano – introduces me to Butch. He tells Butch that I grew up on the other side of Edgeworth, ergo, he doesn’t know the whole cast of characters yet. We laughed out loud (when people actually did laugh out loud); fast friends since. So many Butch Gennetti stories, so little time. Every Friday night at the I.A.C.C., Butch would make it a point to stop and chat us up before his favorite time of the week (excluding bocce night, of course), when he would meet his beautiful daughters at the 621 on Broadway for dinner. Butch would regale us with tale after tale, many of which were preceded with, “Peter, you cannot print this in the paper” – each followed by a tale that was more humorous than the last. So many have shared their stories of love for Butch through social media, all fit for print in a family paper (LOL); here are but two: • Daughter Maria: “Thank you to everyone who has reached out to honor this beautiful legend of a man. It has been an HONOR to be his daughter, and to be raised in such a loving, supportive family. As I search for the words to encompass my gratitude for my dad, all words fall short. If you knew Butchie, you understand what I mean. A larger-than-life presence with a kind heart. Always prepared to help anyone and everyone and expected nothing in return. It was the act of giving that made Butch truly happy. Well, that and dancing was a close 2nd! A man of service not only through his work as a police officer, but for everyone he loved, which were many! So, as we say goodbye to the strongest man that we’ve had the privilege of knowing and loving, please know that ing. My prayers for his family are that the enormous love and respect that he commanded be a source of comfort. I know he will not fade from our memory because his life was unforgettable. His like will not come this way again and I, for one, feel the enormous privilege of having known and loved him. God bless you Uncle Butch. Give my grandparents a hug for me. May perpetual light shine upon you as you enter into your reward.” As Peter Falk’s iconic TV charSal Gennetti and Sal “Butch” Gennetti, in Naples, Fla. everyone’s support has been appreciated by our family!! We want to thank everyone for your love, prayers, support, and for sharing memories of him. To all of our family and friends who have been by our side throughout these past few days, thank you! We love you! I’d like to thank my 4 siblings who have been instrumental in helping my dad. Continuously by his side, caring for his every need. It’s truly an honor to be part of the Gennetti family! • Nephew Rob DeMarco: “Salvatore ‘Butch’ Gennetti was a legend. Everyone knew him and everyone had a story. He was larger than life, in all the right ways. But he also knew how to enter into your circle with just the right touch, whether as a friend, family or leader. He was a police officer, serving alongside my grandfather John for many years. He was a politician, back when the school committee was city wide, and he ran for mayor. He was also a man of unique strength, wide talents and great humor. I have watched him play drums in the St Rocco procession. One time I witnessed him arrest a guy in the parking lot of Dom’s Sausage back in the early 90s. I happened upon the scene and the guy was panicked running. Butch was just walking slowly after him. Butch finally simply commanded the guy to stop and he did. I also have memories of his more unique appearances at family events from when I was very young (that may or may not have included interesting costume choices - if you know you know). In short, he was one of those unique individuals who, with equal facility, could command respect with just his voice or reduce an audience to fall down laughing with his infectious humor. The photo is from nine years ago when I had the privilege of having the extended Gennetti family at my home for a reunion. Our family has grown from its humble beginnings on Malden Street. We had over 100 family members show up. At the time, I had spent a few years in what might be mildly labeled a tense relationship with Uncle Butch. As I look back, I take responsibility for that tension and what caused it. Suffice it to say, I was worried he may not show. I was wrong and he came. I like this photo because it was also when he and I patched up our relationship. A true son of Malden and a lifelong public servant, his loss to our community is immense. As the youngest of 10 siblings and the last of their greatest generation, born and raised in Edgeworth, his loss to the family is immeasurable. As the father of 5 and grandfather of 3, his loss to my cousins and aunt is profoundly heartbreakacter Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – Butchie spent, literally, his entire existence in Edgeworth. First on Pearl Street then to 52 Malden St. as a teen, migrating up to Quincy Street when married, never really straying very far in his 86 years. I know from time to time I bore readers to tears with my incessant talk of Edgeworth. Ya know what, there aren’t too many columns like mine, so you have no choice but to continue to read (LOL). I sorta kid but if you grew up in Edgeworth you know of what I speak. In Malden, Ward 2 has defined neighborhood like no other. Butchie’s parents, Salvatore and Marianina (Radochia), recognized this, planted roots and raised their brood of 10 in that tiny slice of Italian/Irish community. Butch was enamored of this neighborhood. It defined who he was – family, friends and his Italian heritage – if you know, you know. Robert DiGiovanni knows: “I don’t think the geographical lines of Edgeworth can be accurately mapped out. It’s more a feeling of love deep in our hearts, for a place where we raised thousands of our sons and daughters. It’s a tradition more than a location, in our minds, of years past and present, of our parents, families, friends, and memories both good and bad, residing in this part of the world forever, we call Edgeworth.” Postscript 1: As Don Mclean once sang, “The book of life is brief, and once a page is read, all but love is dead, that is my belief.” And so, another page has turned in the “Edgeworth Book of Life.” Butch’s funeral mass at the Immaculate was a sendoff for the ages. The pews were stuffed with old friends and family, with the MPD proudly showing up full force in their best MPD blues (cleaning up nicely, by the way).

Offi cer Sal Gennetti just killed it with his eulogy for his beloved pops mixing pathos deftly between classic Butchie vignettes on his famous father’s life story. Then, not a dry eye in my car as I drove to the cemetery with Judy’s communion hymn “How Great Thou Art” still ringing in my ears. The hearse – driven by loyal companion Malden Animal Control Offi cer Kevin Alkins – slowly drove by Quincy Street, where Butch threw some of the most legendary family block parties Malden has ever seen, then by Pearl Street for one last ciao to Saint Peter’s Church and his beloved Italian American Citizens’ Club. Butch’s fi nal resting place: a sweet little spot as you enter the front gate on the left at Forestdale. Not far from goombahs like Jim Conway, Ed Norton, Pete Trabucco and Joe Croken – a quiet and peaceful location – perfect for Butch to get the gang back together for a glass of wine, the Boston Herald, a game of bocce and maybe one last dance before last call. Postscript 2: On a personal note, Butch’s passing has been painful, especially for his dear old friend Dom Fermano – for all of us actually. It has been an extreme pleasure getting to really know Butch over the years. Our love of Edgeworth, the Italian American Citizens’ Club, the Saint Rocco Feast and his name consistently in my column had cemented that relationship through the years (LOL). But nothing compares to the joy we all derived from walking the Sunday Procession at the San Rock Festa with Butch (and believe me on this one – after many conversations, he loved his children and grandchildren very much). The pride he had for his neighborhood, his family, the MPD and the city of Malden itself was contagious and was an amazing experience to behold. The legend of Butch Gennetti will never die and will be recalled as long as we continue to gather together to keep that memory alive. Only time moves on to the next scene, memories remain in the heart forever. Viva Salvatore “The Purple One” Gennetti. Postscript 3: Mums the word – stay tuned for big news about naming an iconic Edgeworth location after Butch.

Northern Strand Community Trail project nears completion F or more than three decades, Bike to the Sea has promised to build a trail from Everett through Malden, Revere, Saugus and Lynn to the ocean in Nahant. Work began this week on the fi nal two-mile section of the project: from Western Avenue in Lynn to Nahant Beach. The state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) held a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday (Thursday, July 11) to build the twomile, two-way, separated bike lane The Northern Strand Community Trail now runs from Everett, through Malden, Revere and Saugus, and it ends at Western Avenue about one mile west of downtown Lynn. The plans include extending that trail with curb-separated, on-street bike lanes and sidewalk improvements through downtown Lynn to state-owned parkland at Nahant Beach. This project is expected to provide safer and improved transportation access for bicyclists and pedestrians.

They will help provide 14 studio apartments, some for formerly homeless veterans. “It’s been an incredible struggle,” Twomey said. “They said it was going to take 3 years, but it took 10.” However, Twomey said — today — Bread of Life is now the most efficient charitable organization.

According to Corey, Peter Thacher, who was the chairman of the town’s instructions committee in September 1774, wrote the instructions that Malden representative Ezra Sargeant introduced to the General Court in 1776 – the fi rst American request for independence from the British Crown.

One of those instructions ended with these words: “The people in the province are free and brave people; and we are determined, in the strength of our God, that we will, in spite of open force and private treachery, live and die as becomes the descendants of such ancestors as ours, who sacrifi ced their all that they and their posterity might be free.” Maldonians not only called for revolution, but also shared their vision of an American future: “…we are confirmed in the opinion that the present age would be defi cient in year to experience some of the best Revere has to off er – beautiful shoreline access, great food and a welcoming, family friendly environment. The work of these incredibly talented artists never ceases to amaze me, and this year’s artists are no exception.” The International Sand Sculpting Festival is open to the public from 10:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20, and from 10:00 a.m.-8:00 their duty to God, their posterity and themselves, if they do not establish an American republic.

The City of Revere is offering a free parking option to Revere residents at the Beachmont School lot (15 Everard St.) for the duration of the festival. Parking is available on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis, from one hour before festival opening each day, to one hour after festival close. A valid Revere resident sticker is required to park: Any illegally or improperly parked vehicles are drop of their blood, and the last farthing of their treasure.” Rev. Thacher’s sermons of that period convinced the revolutionary soldiers that they should “consider themselves as fi ghting under God’s banner and as champions of his cause” and that it would “forcibly… operate upon a pious mind, with what ardor would it inspire his breast and urge him to deeds of heroic valor! When men feel themselves [infl uenced] by motives of religion as well as natural obligation, they must be in a sense invincible.” Thacher insisted that “we are fighting… for our religion… which the word of God hath instituted and appointed” and subject to ticketing and/or towing at the owner’s expense.

Lewis applauds passage of major economic development legislation O n July 11, 2024, State Senator Jason Lewis joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts Senate to unanimously pass a comprehensive economic development bill intended to extend Massachusetts’ global leadership in life sciences and biotech, climate technology and other sectors of the economy. An Act relative to strengthening Massachusetts’ economic leadership will promote the growth of new and existing industries, support workforce development and talent retention and modernize various economic development programs. The support extends to small businesses, communities and cultural development, ensuring that Main Streets across the Commonwealth benefit from the economic boost. “Promoting economic development especially in high growth sectors creates new business and job opportunities and strengthens our communities,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m proud that our state legislature in partnership with Governor Healey is able to work on a bipartisan basis to make Massachusetts even more competitive and attractive for both businesses and workers.” During debate on the Senate floor, Senator Lewis was successful in increasing the capital funding authorization for Zoo New England (which includes the Stone Zoo in Stoneham) from $10 million to $15 million. The bill also includes a provision championed by Senator Lewis to create a pathway to licensure for foreign-trained physicians. This initiative is designed to address the shortage of healthcare professionals and improve patient access to high-quality care. A Conference Committee will now be appointed to reconcile differences between the different versions of the economic development bill passed by the Senate and House of Representatives – before a final version of the legislation is sent to Governor Maura Healey for her signature or other actions. Key provisions of this economic development legislation: • Maintaining Massachusetts’ global life sciences leadership by authorizing up to $225 million over five years for the Life Sciences Breakthrough Fund, and adding health equity, biosecurity, digital health, and artificial intelligence to the mission of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center • Encouraging the growth of climate tech companies in Massachusetts by authorizing up to $200 million for the Clean Energy Investment Fund and a further $200 million for the Massachusetts Offshore Wind Industry Investment Trust Fund. Additional incentives include a climate tech tax credit, a climate tech jobs credit and a climate tech research credit. • Promoting local economic development by authorizCelebrating Our 52nd Year Dan - 1972 We Sell Cigars & Accessories!

After all, Mazonson is the only manager the team has ever had in the 30-plus years of the franchise’s existence. Well, for the first time since 2007-2008, the Malden Youth Baseball (MYB) Cal Ripken Majors champs are back-to-back champs: 9-5 winners on July 1 over the Dodgers at Bruce Field in Malden. It was a winner-take-all final game for the champs, who had to defeat the regular season top team Dodgers two days before to force the last game. Veteran pitcher Jacob Christie was masterful – and dominant– on the mound, striking out 10 in a complete-game, 6-inning effort and scattering 4 hits. Christie got plenty of help with some key defensive plays as well as timely hitting up-and-down the Dolphins lineup. The Dolphins had to come from behind twice in the past two games of the championship series to claim its second consecutive title. On June 29, the Dolphins eked out a 6-5 win to force an “if necessary” winner-take-all game in the double-elimination series. MAYOR AND MANAGER: Malden Ma yor Gar y Christenson and Dolphins manager Kenny Mazonson after the championship game win with the trophy. The Dodgers did score first in the first inning, but the Dolphins roared back and took a commanding, 5-1 lead in the third inning and never looked back. “I just told our team to stick with it and keep playing consistently and they did just that,” said Mazonson, who is believed to be the longest-tenured Little League level team manager in Malden city history, nearly 50 years. The Dolphins first and only manager was selected and enshrined in the inaugural Malden Baseball Legacy Hall of Fame this past spring at a dinner and ceremony held at the Malden Moose Hall. MYB President Felice D’Anna said the win capped a very successful year for the program. “We had done highly competitive playoff battle with a lot of exciting games.” “The Executive Board would DEALING FOR THE DOLPHINS: Jacob Christie went the distance in a strong performance on the mound to pace the win for the champion Dolphins.

When passing federal Medicby the Trustee, or is in any other way “available” to the Settlor when seeking eligibility for MassHealth benefits or SSI benefits, the fact that the Settlor may reserve some rights or powers over the irrevocable Trust should not be a relevant factor. If Congress had made a determination that any aspect of a Settlor’s control over an irrevocable Trust would affect whether or not the assets housed in such a Trust would be countable for MassHealth or SSI purposes, it would have specifically stated so in federal Medicaid and SSI Trust laws. Congress has not so stated. Congress has long been aware that a Settlor can reserve different aspects of control over an irrevocable Trust. When Congress passed the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, many years prior to passing the current Medicaid Trust laws in 1985 and 1993, Congress had already dealt with control by Settlors in the Trust income taxation area with the well-known “grantor-type” Trust rules. The provisions of Internal Revenue Code sections 671-679, the “grantor-type” Trust rules, are very detailed, and indicate that Congress is very much aware that there are many varieties of Trust provisions where Settlors can reserve varying degrees of control over irrevocable Trusts. In proper statutory interpretation of federal laws, Congress is presumed to know about other laws it has passed. In the Medicaid context, if Congress had been concerned about trust control issues and wanted state agencies, such as Massaid Trust laws, Congress did not indicate concern for control issues by making any cross-reference to the grantor-type Trust rules, or inserting provisions directly in the federal Medicaid Trust law prohibiting any degree of control by the Settlor. When passing federal Medicaid Trust laws, Congress simply allowed each state to implement their own debtor-creditor laws. MassHealth had been attempting to redefine well-settled Trust law in an attempt to deny MassHealth benefits. Its legal department was attempting to stretch any legal theory it could come up with to the point of the theory being nonsensical. From a pure Trust law standpoint, the vast majority of Elder Law/Trust Law attorneys believe that these attempts to interpret Trust law in such a way as to achieve MassHealth’s end goal of not approving MassHealth applications, represented a lack of good faith and a definite lack of administration consistency on the part of MassHealth. Elder Law attorneys depend upon consistency by hearing officers who end up reviewing irrevocable Trusts and rendering decisions on the countability of assets housed in them for eligibility purposes. The bar advocacy for applicants has done an outstanding job in Massachusetts over the last ten years in finally achieving the goal of having clients being able to successfully transfer assets to irrevocable trusts that are properly drafted without having to deal with continuous challenges by MassHealth based upon unjustifiable legal positions. Asset protection planning is a perfectly permissible objective of any family.

The hike would apply to many crimes for which 18-yearolds would be tried as juveniles instead of as adults but would not change existing law that allows 18-year-olds charged with the most serious offenses, including first- or second-degree murder, to be prosecuted and sentenced as adults. “Massachusetts is home to great talent, industry and education, but we must act now to remain competitive in a changing global and national economy,” said Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover), Senate Chair of the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. “This economic development bill bolsters our state’s competitiveness by strengthening sectors we already excel in and creating pathways to secure the lead in emerging fields.” “Life sciences and climate technology are synonymous with Massachusetts because of the past decade of strong investment,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The Senate’s action today ensures that we build on that leadership in the coming decade, amplifying the diverse and thriving economic ecosystem that enables people to stay in our state to build careers and families." “I’m excited the Senate has created long-term investments in key sectors of our state’s economy by passing this economic development bond bill,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “With ambitious initiatives in life sciences, robotics, artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge disciplines, we lay a strong foundation for the new and global economy for generations to come. While we look to the future, the bill also reinforces the traditional economic drivers of the commonwealth, notably small business, education and advanced manufacturing.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes REDUCE SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS TAX (S 2856) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would reduce the short term capital gains tax from 8.5 percent to 5 percent over a three year period from 2025 to 2027. “We have the highest short term capital gains tax in the Northeast and amongst the highest in the nation,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who supported the amendment. “Lowering it could help business investment and actually provide economic activity.” Amendment opponents said the Legislature recently passed, and Gov. Maura Healey signed into law, the largest tax cut in state history. They noted that the tax cut package included a reduction in the short-term capital gains tax. "Only last year, we passed significant tax reductions," said Sen. Pat Jehlen.(D-Somerville). "We don't yet know all the impact. We need enough revenue to meet our needs for housing and transportation. Those investments are much more important than tax cuts for our economic future." (A “Yes” vote is for the reduction in the short-term capital gains tax. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No JUVENILE JUSTICE AGE (S 2856) Senate 31-9, approved an amendment that would raise from 17 to 18 the age at which a person can be tried as a juvenile. The hike would apply to many crimes for which 18-year-olds would be tried as juveniles instead of as adults. The amendment would not change existing law that allows 18-year-olds charged with the most serious offenses, including first- or second-degree murder, to be prosecuted and sentenced as adults. Similarly, a juvenile 18 or younger could be charged as an adult for any felony if the he or she had been previously committed in the Department of Youth Services, committed an offense that involves serious bodily harm or violated certain firearm laws. “We will never achieve racial equity in Massachusetts without addressing the systemic biases in our systems, including our criminal legal system—and giving our children a fair shot at life from birth onward,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “By raising the age today, I am proud that the Senate is making the commonwealth a fairer place for young people who should not be judged for their whole life by a mistake they made as an 18-year-old.” "As the former Senate Chair of the Joint Task Force on Emerging Adults in the Massachusetts Criminal Justice System, I heard from stakeholders across the juvenile and criminal justice systems about the countless public safety benefits of raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction," said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). "Including 18-year-olds in the juvenile system will help ensure all high-schoolers have access to the high-quality rehabilitative programming available through the Department of Youth Services, which will help reduce recidivism and have a long-term positive impact on public safety." "This amendment to an Economic Development bill sought to raise the juvenile age of criminal prosecution to 19 years old,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who opposed the amendment.“First, criminal justice policy shouldn't be snuck into an economic development bill. Second, the Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Trial Court identified numerous concerns about raising the juvenile age … includingincreased financial costs to the court system; increased delays with justice in the juvenile court, including child welfare and protection cases that are already backlogged by 13,000 cases; and concerns about the mixing of minors and "emerging adults" in a juvenile detention center causing challenges with the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act which is supposed to prevent children from being in 'sight and sound' contact with adults.“ Fattman continued, [“There are] concerns from numerous law enforcement agencies that raising the juvenile age of criminality emboldens young people to commit crime, as other offenders may use this law to make young people pawns in the dangerous criminal activity in which the older adults engage. (A “Yes” vote is for raising the age to 18. A “No” vote is against raising it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL PRESERVE SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS FOR DISABLED SENIORS (H 4841) – House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would restore the ability of disabled seniors to receive support from special needs pooled trusts for care and needs that are not covered by MassHealth. Sponsor Rep. Kate Hogan (D-Stow) said she filed the legislation in response to a new MassHealth regulation that eliminated this support for seniors. “Pooled trusts allow persons with disabilities to maintain dignity and quality of life when confined to a nursing home or receiving home care,” said Hogan. “The trusts help provide for companion services, uninsured medical care, dental and pharmacy care, transportation, clothing, personal needs and household items, assisted living and many other kinds of support that MassHealth does not provide. Current MassHealth regulations penalize disabled seniors over 65 for using pooled trusts since they are counted in determining eligibility.This legislation would allow this vulnerable population to use the exemption for the purposes of determining MassHealth eligibility.” REDUCE THE SHORTAGE OF DENTAL HYGIENISTS (H 4842) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that supporters say would streamline the process for foreign-trained dentists to obtain a dental hygienist license in the Bay State. These dentists would have to have at least five BHRC | SEE PAGE 15 ׉ 7cassandra://mroWpwramibYqdvk2lWRzkt3KhqntKQL_f5-blkOBEo&`̰f_+L]׉EBHRC | FROM PAGE 14 years of experience as a dentist in their country and must have obtained a certificate of registration, certifying them as a dentist, from their country’s board of dental examiners or similar board. Massachusetts would only license the dentist as a dental hygienist if it determines that competency requirements in the foreign country are equal to those required of applicants in the Bay State. "This proposal would benefit immigrants who are foreign-trained dentists, providing them with an accelerated pathway towards a hygiene license and helping to alleviate the labor shortage in the field of dentistry,” said sponsor Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Quincy). “Massachusetts continues to contend with a shortage of qualified dental hygienists, and this bill would create a new pipeline for foreign-trained dentists to help stem the workforce shortage,” said Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) President Dr. Abe Abdul. “Oral health is critical to overall health. Increasing the number of dental care providers translates into less wait times and greater availability of appointments for patients, allowing them to receive high-quality care. "The Massachusetts Dental Hygienists Association (MDHA) is excited to collaborate with the MDS on crucial language in the legislation that enables foreign-trained dentists to take required exams and apply for dental hygiene licenses, said MDHA President Amanda Berthiaume. “We are committed to supporting these new hygienists by providing them with opportunities, through an MDHA membership, to help them succeed. This legislation is a first step in addressing the dental professional shortage in Massachusetts.” EQUAL ACCOMMODATION IN PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITIES (H 923) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would require the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to annually report on progress made toward Title IX compliance in its recreational facilities across the state. Title IX of the federal Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex and gender discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Supporters noted that DCR maintains ownership of dozens of ice rinks and swimming facilities across the state, many of which have been leased to private companies or municipalities to operate.They said these publicly owned facilities host competitions for hockey leagues, swim teams and figure skating programs while also providing a venue for offerings such as water aerobics classes and public skating.

They said that many DCR facilities were built decades ago, before Title IX, and prior to the growth in popularity of women's sports. “With Title IX celebrating its 50th year anniversary last year, we are long overdue in ensuring that all athletes have access to equal accommodations at our state-owned rinks and pools,” said bill sponsor Rep.

What tips can you recommend for making a kitchen safer and more practical for seniors, without doing a big expensive remodel. Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, There are a number of small improvements and simple modifi cations you can do that can make a big diff erence in making your mom’s kitchen safer and easier to maneuver. Depending on her needs, here are some tips for diff erent aspects of her kitchen. Lights: If the lighting in your mom’s kitchen needs improvement, replace the old overhead fi xture with a bright new ceiling light, and add LED lighting under upper kitchen cabinets to brighten up her kitchen countertops. Floors: If she has kitchen throw rugs, to reduce tripping or slipping, replace them with non-skid fl oor mats or consider gel mats, which are cushiony and more comfortable to stand on for long periods. GelPro.com and WellnessMats.com off er a nice selection. Cabinets and drawers: To reduce bending or reaching, organize your mom’s kitchen cabinets and drawers so that the items she most frequently uses are within comfortable reach. You can also make her lower cabinets and pantry easier to access by installing pullout shelves or lazy susans. And, by installing pull-down shelves in her upper cabinets (see Rev-a-shelf.com) so she doesn’t have to get on a stool to reach things on high shelves. I also recommend replacing her cabinet and drawer knobs with “D” or “C” shaped pull-handles because they’re more comfortable for arthritic hands to grasp than knobs. Faucet: If your mom has a twist-handle kitchen faucet, replace it with an ADA compliant single handle faucet, or with a touch, motion or digital smart faucet. They’re easier to operate, especially if she has hand arthritis or gripping problems. And, for safety purposes, set her hot water tank at 120 degrees to prevent possible water burns. Microwave and cooktop safety: If your mom’s microwave is mounted above her stove, consider moving it, or get her a small microwave for the countertop so she doesn’t have to reach over a cooktop to insert or remove food. And if you’re worried about your mom forgetting to turn off the stove there are automatic shutoff devices you can purchase and install to prevent a fi re. iGuardStove (iGuardFire.com) makes one of the best smart shutoff devices for gas and electric stoves. And to guard against microwave fi res, there’s the SmartMicro microwave shutoff made by Pioneering Technology (PioneeringTech.com). Shopping for Appliances If you’re looking to upgrade some of your mom’s appliances, here are some diff erent features to keep in mind. Refrigerator: French-door refrigerators that open in the middle are great for seniors because it makes it easier to see and reach what’s inside. Pullout adjustable height shelves and a water/ice dispenser on the outside of the door are also very convenient. Stove or cooktop: Look for one with controls in the front so your mom won’t have to reach over hot burners to turn it off , and make sure the controls are easy to see. Flat surface electric or induction burners, or continuous grates on gas stoves are also great for sliding heavy pots and pans from one burner to the next. And ask about automatic shut off burners. Oven: Self-cleaning ovens are a plus and consider a side-swing door model. They’re easier to get into because you don’t have to lean over a hot swing-down door. Also consider a wall-mounted oven, installed at your mom’s preferred height to eliminate bending. Dishwasher: Consider a drawer-style dishwasher that slides in and out for easier access and, if possible, have it installed on a raised platform 12 to 24 inches above fl oor level so it can be loaded and unloaded without bending over. Washer and dryer: Front-load washers and dryers with pedestals that raise the height around 24 inches are also back-savers and easier to access. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

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 Sena er matters that are important to their districts.
