The new pipeline is a replacement for a 19inch cast iron pipe that was attached under the General Edwards Bridge. That pipe — installed 90 years ago — was capped in 2018 because of severe corrosion. The new water pipeline will be part of the MWRA’s Section 56, which services Revere, Lynn and several other North Shore communities. According to the MWRA, it will ensure system redundancy and reliability for residents, increase public safety and boost environmental health. The plan involves the installation of 4,800 feet of water pipeline 40 feet below the river bed using horizontal directional drilling. There will also be installation of 20-inch water mains on Rice Avenue in Revere and Hanson Street in Lynn using open-cut methods to connect the underwater pipeline to the MWRA’s existing Section 56 pipeline located in Route 1A. Work would begin in Lynn next year in a mostly vacant commercial space. Work in Revere is slated to start in October 2025. MWRA staff stressed several times that the sequencing was designed to avoid any disruption of Revere’s summer beach season. No plovers will be disturbed. According to the MWRA, nine diff erent options were considered for the pipe replacement. The underwater pipe is considered the most effi cient and least disruptive to the environment. But a Rice Avenue resident questioned if hollowing out the river fl oor and digging out tons of river sediment is the best option for the environment. The MWRA believes it is and they have a plan to manage the removal of sediment and debris on a daily basis with none of it being dumped into the river or on wetlands. expressed concerns about the work scheduled for Rice Avenue, saying it comes very close to neighborhood homes. But MWRA offi cials said they will have open lines of communication with residents, who will receive notifi cations about ongoing construction. The Conservation Commission plans to hold more discussions on the MWRA plan with public input. ׉ Ú7cassandra://EwrGr6PnKsNGAIjlpwf8Zhy3N9OMW-OJY_nj0RXUZTQÍ(@Í`Ì°Í×f™bÏðÜÙLÙ]°D×f™bÏðÜÙLÙ]°CÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://ya76EQyAp4xR5cmpmfo3cP3RuC9GGFHmjy6g82PVPAUΘŠÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://Uw0tKlf6ndz8LtXOcKdmz8509URW0JbOOyLy79EEH1kÍ¢ÖÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://ONyIKJ8v22ZCQmbZEVVIAP20Kk4EjWSF3rtG2GWPYPcÍ01Í`Ì°Í×f™bÐðÜÙLÙ]°]טšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://iU_HWAjLUply2eFMGH-vh91KOGBil-JdbATqBUh54XcΘ*Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://qKRYdFyEtib1fKJ1CwtxM5ipmByFa5MMfFk_27s_yQc͘¦Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://uJuCJ32wnsuhtOb19-VZZphE8WfRU_QGvRJkABOwyxwÍ.ÉÍ`Ì°Í×f™bÐðÜÙLÙ]°^“× ×f™bÐðÜÙLÙ]°eͤÍ,Ìð9×H¾http://www.everettaluminum.com× × Ј× ×f™bÐðÜÙLÙ]°dÍéÍÌÍ 9×HÚ http://www.bostonnorthdental.com× × Ј× ×f™bÐðÜÙLÙ]°cͬ͢Ìÿ9×HÚ mailto:lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net× × Ј׉EÚ nPage 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2024 Mid-grade Regular $3.87 3.27 73 64 Over 45 Years of Excellence!

As of June 30, the city has collected $5,630 in fees for charging electric vehicles at the city-owned charging stations. The stations dispensed a total of 17.5 megawatt of electricity with 12.5 megawatt of energy going to vehicles owned by the public. DeMauro said the city is taking in between 22 cents and 30 cents a kilowatt so costs are being covered. The money collected will be used for maintenance, repairs and investments in new charging stations. DeMauro said the Public Works department is looking for a charging station that will also be open to the public. According to Chargefi nder.com, the city has 21 charging stations for electric vehicles; 4 at city hall; two at the Hill School at 51 Park Ave.; four at Mahoney Circle on Everett Street; two at 139 Shirley Ave.; one at 21 Revere Beach Blvd., one at Rumney Flats; 2 at the Avid Hotel, 415 American Legion Hwy. and one located at Stop & Shop at 540 Squire Rd. Keep in mind that some of the aforementioned charging stations are privately-owned. The committee also discussed wayfaring signs for Shirley Avenue and Broadway. Signs that identify parking lots and signs meant to increase pedestrian safety are a priority. There is also a plan in the works to divide Broadway into three distinct sections. The sign project will be covered by state grant funding and a small $10,000 slice of city money. The committee voted to send the sign project to a public hearing along with their proposal for covering tree pits on Shirley Avenue. The city has looked at several options for closing the tree pits. Mulch and gravel have been the traditional solutions. But the city is also looking at synthetic poured surface, a rubberized surface much like what one sees at playgrounds. “I think it’s the best option,†said Committee member and Ward 4 City Councillor Paul Argenzio of the synthetic solution. “It’s expensive, but mulch and gravel get kicked around and weeds grow through them.†The committee also made a pitch for new members, particularly business owners on Shirley Avenue and Broadway. The committee agreed it was valuable to get the perspective of business owners for parking plans or changes. Argenzio said he would reach out to several candidates. Prostate Cancer: What You Need To Know MelroseWakefi eld Hospital’s Dr. Tony Luongo shares what you should know about the risks and treatment options for prostate cancer. M ELROSE, MASSACHUSETTS — Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, and the most common non-skin cancer among all Americans. MelroseWakefi eld Hospital urologist, Dr. Tony Luongo, says that although the majority of prostate cancers will not cause serious problems, it is vitally important for men to know the risks for developing a serious cancer. “Men between the age of 55 and 69 should consider getting screened at their annual physical exam,†said Dr. Luongo. “It is important to talk with your doctor about your risk and when you should be screened, because not all physicians include prostate cancer screening in their regular physicals.†Prostate cancer facts: • 1 in 8 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime • The most common risk factor is age • Black men are at a higher risk than other men, and according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, should talk to their doctor about getting screened between ages 40 and 45 • The majority of men do not have any symptoms while others may have pain or changes with urination How to get tested: “Screening for prostate cancer is so simple and can save your life,†said Dr. Luongo. “It’s as easy as a blood test and/or physical exam.†A test that is commonly used to diagnose prostate disorders, including prostate cancer, is a blood test called a Prostate Specifi c Antigen (PSA). The PSA detects the amount of prostate-specifi c antigen (small protein produced almost exclusively by the prostate) in your blood. High levels of PSA may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. “The PSA is not a perfect test,†said Dr. Luongo. “There are other factors that can lead to an elevated PSA level beyond prostate cancer.

Consumers unaware of the passport renewal process might fall victim to online scams. These scams trick U.S. citizens into paying a fee to fi ll out a renewal form that is a free download on the government’s website. As a result, consumers might be tricked into providing their personal and fi - nancial information on potentially unsecured websites.

Two separate search warrants were executed in Revere last Friday — with the assistance of North Metro SWAT, the Malden Special Operations Unit and Revere Police Patrol — seizing an illegally possessed fi rearm, over 500 grams of fentanyl, 2,716 grams of cocaine and crack cocaine, 28 grams of methamphetamine, two grams of ketamine, ammunition and over 70,000 in cash and other property items. Reportedly, Kerlin Aubourg, 36, faces charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition without a license, trafficking drugs and distribution of drugs; Eric Paolucci, 54, faces charges of traffi cking drugs and distribution of drugs. “The Revere Police Special Investigation Unit was created to disrupt and reduce violent incidents in the city,†Police Chief David Callahan said. “They have been exceptionally successful in identifying the perpetrators, seizing fi rearms and arresting those who mean harm to the people in our community.†“Today, we and our other Law Enforcement partners reinforce our resolve to address the supply side of this public health crisis.†Aubourg and Paolucci were being held in Suff olk County’s Nashua Street Jail pending arraignment in Chelsea District Court on Monday, July 15.

A man in his 60s perished at home in Hyannis in the early morning hours of July 10. “On average, cigarettes and other smoking materials cause about 350 residential fires each year in Massachusetts,†State Fire Marshal Davine said. “Historically, they’re the most frequent cause of fatal fires here and nationwide.

As a urologist, Dr. Luongo cares for patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and he shares that, “each person who develops prostate cancer has a unique situation.

As a result, the Bears ended up beating the Coachella Valley Firebirds, 3-2. The same two teams went at it again last month in the AHL fi nals. It took six games and another overtime period for the Bears to accomplish the backto-back feat. This time, they defeated the Firebirds, 5-4, in the clincher. The triumph was one for the history books, because it marked Hershey’s 13th Calder Cup championship, the most ever among AHL clubs. Vecchione suited up for 20 playoff games this spring and was credited with 2 goals and 8 assists. During the regular season, he had 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points in 67 games. After another successful season, the fi rst question for Vecchione is fairly obvious: What is it like to win consecutive Calder Cup championships? “Words really cannot even begin to describe it, and I am not sure where to begin, because it just happened so fast,†said Vecchione. “It feels pretty surreal. I mean, after last year’s finals, I thought that was the top of the mountain, but here we are. It feels like a blur.†“The off season was so short, and the next thing I knew we were back playing in Hershey and making a Cup run. And at the blink of an eye, we were hoisting another [one],†added the Saugus native, who has also won championships in high school at Malden Catholic and at Division 1 Union College. That opportunity to win on all three levels is not lost on Vecchione, especially as a pro. “It is crazy, because there are so many friends of mine — or players I have crossed paths with — that have neither made it to the playoff s nor won a Cup. When you step back and take a breath to soak it all in, it still does not feel real. Once you win, there is so much partying going on, and the next thing you know guys are leaving and signing with new teams, and it is on to the next season. But that’s just the nature of the business, even though at the same time we will always share that moment together as brothers forever,†he said. Just like the NHL’s (National Hockey League) Stanley Cup, players on the winning team get their day with the Cup. But this year might be different. “I’m not sure when, or if, I will be getting the Cup again this summer, because of the incredibly short off season. But if I do, I’m certain that it will sink in, and I will have another memorable day with it like I did last year,†Vecchione said. After fi nishing with the AHL’s best overall regular season record (53-14-0-5), the Bears had to endure a long, agonizing and sometimes frustrating run in the playoff s. They earned a fi rst-round bye before beating the Lehigh Valley Phantoms three games to one. They then swept the Hartford Wolfpack in three games. But the Cleveland Monsters gave them all they could handle in the Eastern Conference fi nals, taking them to a seventh game, before succumbing on the Bears’ home ice. But before they did, the Monsters staged a furious comeback bid after going down 3-1 in the series. The Firebirds also made them earn their second straight Cup with the fi nals going six games. Despite the long playoff run, it was not unlike last year’s journey. The only diff erence was that the 2023 Eastern Conference fi nals went six, while the aforementioned fi nals took all seven games, before the kid from Saugus won it in overtime. But for fans, this year just looked took on a diff erent role. I was a guy that stepped in and played every position up front, while moving up and down the lineup to play where I was needed. I had to take on more of a leadership role, and do what was best for the team. I played primarily on the third line during the playoff s, helping to take the weight off a couple of first and second year linemates, who had zero Calder Cup playoff experience. I was asked to take big faceoff s when needed, and block the most shots as a forward. There are so many different ways to produce or make an impact in this game, and it’s always up to the player to go out there and do it.†But beyond next year, Mike Vecchione of Saugus triumphantly hoisted his second-straight Calder Cup over his head for the AHL’s Hershey Bears (of Pennsylvania) after he and his teammates defeated the Coachella Valley Firebirds in Game 7 to win the title, 5-4, in overtime late last month. Both teams also hooked up last year in the fi nals, with the Bears coming out on top in overtime, 3-2, when Vecchione scored the clincher. (Courtesy photo/Tori Hartman/Hershey Bears) tougher, but Vecchione has a simple explanation for it. “This year’s playoff run got tough, because of the physicality of Cleveland,†he said. “They were a heavy team that could forecheck well, and we did not protect our defensemen as well as we could have, and it cost us dearly. We lost three of our six starting defensemen in that series, and they were not able to return for the remainder of the playoff s. We also lost two of our leading goal scorers for a short period of time in that series, one for oral surgery after taking a puck to the face that caused him to lose 10 teeth, and the other one from a bad hit into the bench. It was more of a mental battle than anything else for us, because we had the guys to win. We just were not executing at the level we were before, because of the adjustments we had to make. But give Cleveland credit. They saw blood in the water and capitalized. Once we got through that series, we were back to playing Bears hockey, and were able to beat Coachella in six. We dominated the physical aspect of the game in that series, and it took a toll on them, which is why I believe we were able to win the last three games to secure our second Cup.†Mike assesses his last two years with the Bears Vecchione is signed through next year with the Bears, the Triple A affi liate of the NHL’s Washington Capitals, but that doesn’t mean he’s still not planning his future. “These past two years basically ended the same way, but from a player’s perspective, they were completely diff erent,†he said. “I felt I had another great year, but if you compare my points to last year, then you would think I had a bad season. The reason for that was because I Vecchione says he’s done trying to move around to chase that NHL dream. “I absolutely love playing in Hershey. NHL scouts are in the stands every night, including our own Washington scouts. They are watching the games, but I have not gotten any calls as of yet,†he added. Good to be home Mike is now enjoying his time back home in Saugus, where he will continue to do his training and skating in the area to get ready for the start of next year, which gets underway in just two short months Specifi cally, he has also been playing street hockey with friends on rollerblades. This type of activity keeps the hands and legs loose. But it’s not all business. Socially, he has a couple of weddings and golf outings to attend. But otherwise, during his down time, he will rest to get his body back to where it needs to be to compete for a third straight Calder Cup championship. Going down memory lane Championships aside, Vecchione will always remember his teammates the most. It’s as simple as that. “The season happens so fast that you have to forget about the games. You just played them, and move forward,†he said. “It does not matter what happened the night before, you just have to continue to build and build until you have reached the top. “We forget about the games almost immediately, except for the big ones, of course. But [teammates] you will never forget. During the long workdays, where we battle each other for what seems like forever, we skate together until we cannot feel our legs.†The fun times were even more memorable. “During the long bus rides home after a road sweep, we would be laughing, playing cards, listening to music or just singing together with smiles from earto-ear. I also liked the road dinners, where we would get to go out and spend your per diem money at a nice, fancy steakhouse, and then just talk, laugh and eat for three hours. The locker room banter, sauna sessions and freezing our bodies in the cold tub while watching music video concerts on TV just to get ready for the next game will never be forgotten, as well,†he recalled. “Being able to share my biggest career moments with my fianc? and her parents [he plans to get married next Aug. 8] is more stuff that I will always remember,†added Mike. “You don’t win championships if you don’t come together and become a family. That’s what our head coach, Todd Nelson, has come to Hershey and accomplished, besides winning back-to-back championships. He has been able to take a group of guys ranging from 19 to 36 yearsold and make them a family. I will always remember winning back-to-back Calder Cups, and scoring the game-winning goal last year in overtime, but I will also never forget my teammates. They will forever be my brothers.†׉ Ú7cassandra://yTEQJ_17AIWJuCZFGsHiYtId9xUY1gnAoZej3yGGvuoÍ'fÍ`Ì°Í×f™bÏðÜÙLÙ]°O׉EÚùTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2024 Page 13 Greater Boston League announces Spring Season All-Star Honors Many Everett, Malden and Revere student-athletes are recognized for outstanding accomplishments; Malden claimed 4 GBL Team Championships in Spring 2024 By Steve Freker I t was another successful season in the Greater Boston League (GBL) this past spring, with plenty of individual and team accomplishments.

Currently, data brokers are allowed to sell data that tracks the location of cellphone users. Supporters said that since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, location data fi rms have been selling location information related to patients’ visits to Planned Parenthood facilities. They noted the information could be used to target and harass individuals and providers of these services. “To ensure the protections for patients, providers and their families established by this Legislature truly exist, it is essential that we likewise protect digital footprints of those seeking, receiving and providing abortion and gender-affi rming care,†said Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “This legislation is the fi rst step in providing that protection at a time when more than 20 state legislatures have banned or severely restricted access to abortion and gender-affi rming care.†“We know that purchasing location data to target Planned Parenthood patients or providers is part of the anti-abortion playbook, not just in restrictive states but everywhere,†said Dominique Lee, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. “Now is the time to strengthen data privacy so that cellphone location data cannot be used to target people traveling to and from our health centers, or to target anyone seeking health care that is protected in our state.†“With the passage of today’s bill, the House has made important progress to address the evolving threat to abortion patients and providers,†said Rebecca Hart Holder, President of Reproductive Equity Now. “In the two years post-Dobbs, hostile actors have targeted the location data of patients and providers in all 50 states, and now, we are increasingly concerned that this data will be weaponized against those seeking and providing care in Massachusetts.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $2.86 BILLION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE (S 2856) Senate 40-0, approved a $2.86 billion economic development package that supporters say would make bold investments in life sciences, climate tech, AI and small businesses, building on Massachusetts’ national leadership and creating an environment where businesses and workers thrive. The House has approved a different version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will hammer out a compromise version. Provisions of the Senate version include $225 million over fi ve years for the Life Sciences Breakthrough Fund to reauthorize the Life Sciences Initiative; $200 million for the Clean Energy Investment Fund to facilitate research and development, commercialization and deployment of climate technologies; $200 million for the Massachusetts Off shore Wind Industry Investment Trust Fund to support the growth of the off shore wind industry; $400 million for MassWorks public infrastructure projects that spur economic development and help support job creation; $100 million for the Rural Development Fund to provide fi nancial assistance for infrastructure and community planning eff orts in rural communities; $100 million for local economic development grants for economic development in cities and towns; and $90 million to support the redevelopment of underutilized, blighted or abandoned buildings. Other provisions include $115 million for the Massachusetts Tech Hub to establish key industry consortia across the state; $100 million for the Applied AI Hub program to facilitate the application of AI; $99 million for fl exible grants to support advanced manufacturing initiatives; $25 million for capital grants to advance research, commercialization and training in robotics; $25 million through MassVentures for small business technology grants to help early-stage companies commercialize new technologies; $35 million for grants to Community Development Financial Institutions to help disadvantaged and underserved businesses; and $10 million for BizM-Power matching grants to small businesses with capital needs. Non-fi scal provisions include new laws to allow local communities to opt-in and allow bars and restaurants in the city or town to responsibly offer happy-hour drink discounts; allow local breweries and distilleries to sell their products alongside local wineries at farmers markets; increase opportunities for a more diverse public sector teaching force; and raise from 17 to 18 the age at which persons 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 but would not change existing law that allows 18-year-olds charged with the most serious offenses, including fi rst- 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 fi elds.†“Life sciences and climate technology are synonymous with Massachusetts because of the past decade of strong investment,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (DAshland). “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, artifi cial 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. Lydia Edwards 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 shortterm 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 ׉ Ú7cassandra://qmWU_wU8a3p99jdASElMH46gI3FVhVwPzXh4O5VMFp4Í$ƒÍ`Ì°Í×f™bÏðÜÙLÙ]°Q׉EÚ07THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2024 Page 15 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. Lydia Edwards 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 off enses, including fi rst- 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 off ense that involves serious bodily harm or violated certain fi rearm 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 benefi ts 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 identifi ed numerous concerns about raising the juvenile age … including increased fi nancial 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 off enders 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. Lydia Edwards 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 fi led 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 confi ned 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 fi ve years of experience as a dentist in their country and must have obtained a certifi cate 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 benefi t 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 fi eld of dentistry,†said sponsor Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Quincy). “Massachusetts continues to contend with a shortage of qualifi ed 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. IncreasKitchen Ideas for Aging-in-Place Dear Savvy Senior, My 77-year-old mother, who loves tocook has had several kitchen-related accidents over the past year. What tips can you recommend for making a kitchensaferand more practical forseniors, without doing a big expensiveremodel. 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 offer 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 shut-off 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 sideswing door model. They’re easier to get into because you don’t have to lean over a hot swingdown door. Also consider a wallmounted 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.

This legislation is a fi rst 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 fi nancial 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 fi gure skating programs while also providing a venue for off erings such as water aerobics classes and public skating. They argued that Title IX requires “locker room equity†which means having appropriate changing and showering facilities to comply with Title IX equality requirements. 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. Walsh (D-Peabody). “This bill will encourage compliance with federal law and the basic fairness of locker room equity will allow and encourage more girls and women to participate in the sports programming off ered at DCR-owned facilities.†BEACON | SEE Page 16 ׉ Ú7cassandra://bT2B8jwavQ7fPe_kW9pBJ4z4jDlLOc2y7BV3fVJtIK0Í$#Í`Ì°Í×f™bÏðÜÙLÙ]°R×f™bÏðÜÙLÙ]°QÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://jLUy8NzgrEYkYVtP0fHIgP50Ju9TVjHJFwJVdW6QQZcÎ ;Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://riTXZzKC9Gj9Xu5K1DmetzaSLKv2kTn5ZU17yzTg-8MÍ‹ŠÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://8sSMwiZVRnNJy8Y1jJOdAM4XY4FKpoKBjDW3C8rdoPgÍ%>Í`Ì°Í×f™bÛðÜÙLÙ]°•×˜šÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://d4hUV5dMAiVLe7KC3kvjaWaeY6IQKiQMyNYEj6uEFh0ÎŒlÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://xfLLlexAC-KbEaXXvPfc9ld2Nm1mQ0-pNlQneq_pNVsÍš‘Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://nkiR6_1XnQkLwJigh3zcjEaczIOLIwjTJ4AzriO_s3YÍ+©Í`Ì°Í×f™bÜðÜÙLÙ]°—‘× ×f™bÜðÜÙLÙ]°šÍ =ÍËÌÏ9×H½http://www.thewarrengroup.com× × Ј׉EÚ0«Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2024 BEACON | FROM Page 15 QUOTABLE QUOTES — By The SETTLOR CONTROL OVER AN IRREVOCABLE TRUST I n determining whether the principal of an irrevocable Trust can be withdrawn by the Settlor, or given to the Settlor by the Trustee, or is in any other way “available†to the Settlor when seeking eligibility for MassHealth benefi ts or SSI benefi ts, 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 specifi cally stated so in federal Medicaid and SSI Trust laws. Congress has not so stated. Congress has long been aware that a Settlor can reserve diff erent 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 “grantortype†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 MassHealth, to make a complicated review of irrevocable Trusts, Congress could have simply pointed to the “grantor-type†Trust rules. When passing federal Medicaid 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 redefi ne well-settled Trust law in an attempt to deny MassHealth benefi ts. Its legal department was attempting to stretch any legal theory it couldcome 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 offi cers 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 fi nally 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 unjustifi able legal positions. Asset protection planning is a perfectly permissible objective of any family. I have yet to have a tax client come to my offi ce and say to me “I want to pay more in income taxes this year than the law requires me toâ€. Joseph D.

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 Sena er 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 July 8-12. the House met for a total of four hours and 43 minutes and the Senate met for a total of twelve hours and 49 minutes. Mon.
