ing ordinance to allow limited
animal testing in life science
facilities should they be sited
in Everett, at their meeting on
Monday, January 13. Sponsor
and Councillor-at-Large Stephanie
Smith, Councillor-at-Large
John Hanlon and Ward Councillors
Wayne Matewsky (1), Anthony
DiPierro (3), Robert Van
Campen (5) and Peter Pietrantonio
(6) voted in favor of it.
Councillors-at-Large Guerline
Alcy Jabouin and Katy Rogers,
Ward 2 Councillor and Council
President Stephanie Martins
and Ward 4 Councillor Holly
Garcia voted against it. Councillor-at-Large
Michael Marchese
was absent.
The vote overrode an unfavorable
recommendation from
the Legislative Aff airs and Elections
Subcommittee – comprised
of Marchese, Martins,
Rogers and Smith – made at
a short meeting earlier in the
evening.
Passage approved animal
testing, but limits it to small animals
like gerbils, mice and rats
and prohibits testing on cats,
dogs, horses and other large
animals that are often pets or
used for recreation.
“Communities around Everett
have life science facilities,
but Everett does not,” Smith
said in discussion. “The industry
has the highest annual income
due to high-wage jobs. Those
are the jobs we want people in
Everett to have, but companies
are going to other cities. They’re
getting the facilities and the tax
benefi ts.”
As she had when introducing
the proposal on December
9, she reiterated that the
proposed ordinance was hers
and hers alone and not written
at the behest or under pressure
from The Davis Companies,
a development company
that builds life science facilities
in order to sell them. “I take offense
that this is from The Davis
Companies; I wrote it,” she said.
“They didn’t write this. I did. This
is not a company initiative. It’s
my opinion of what I think is
best for the city.”
Smith was speaking in response
to Rogers’ assertion that
the ordinance would “serve the
interests of one company, The
Davis Companies” and “a corporate
agenda that undermines
the interest of our constituents.”
She added that the constituents
are concerned about safety
in the city and the quality of
its schools and The Davis Companies
has addressed neither
nor other issues in any proposal.
“I want to make sure Everett’s
potential isn’t handed
over to companies with no interest
in our people,” she said.
“It serves a private interest and
is against the wishes of many
constituents.”
She also said that biotech
and life science companies are
moving away from animal testing
to “cutting edge alternatives
more eff ective than animal
testing. Everett can lead
the way as a hub for innovative,
sustainable science rather than
clinging to increasingly obsolete
practices. Why should Everett
bet on a faltering market
when we have a once-in-a-lifetime
chance to defi ne ourselves
in the industries of tomorrow.
I want to make sure we’re not
on the back end of something
other communities are getting
away from.”

Sen. DiDomenico’s energy siting bill included in climate legislation signed into law
Special to Th e Advocate
his past fall, the Governor
signed a climate omnibus
bill into law, S.2967
(Chapter 239), which includes
key language from Senator
DiDomenico’s energy facility
siting bill, S.2113, that
will protect his constituents
from hazardous energy projects
and advance the state’s
clean energy infrastructure.
For years, Senator DiDomenico
has worked side by side
with environmental advocates
and constituents on this
legislation to ensure communities
like those in his district
have more control over which
energy projects get developed
in their neighborhoods.
Thanks to this language, a
larger number of energy facility
projects must fi rst seek
T
lines that will make it harder
to develop new fossil fuel
projects in cities that have
borne the brunt of large energy
projects for many years.
“I am proud to have passed
Sal DiDomenico
State Senator
input and review from the
Energy Facilities Siting Board
(EFSB) and the aff ected communities;
the state must create
accelerated timelines for
siting clean energy projects;
and the EFSB will have guidemy
energy facility siting reforms
into law which will
help provide communities
in my district with more of
a voice when developments
are proposed in their neighborhoods
while also promoting
the deployment of clean
energy across our state,” said
Senator DiDomenico. “These
reforms will go a long way towards
fi ghting the climate crisis
while also helping people
that have faced fossil fuel-related
hazards for years protect
their community from
future polluting energy projects.
I want to thank Senate
President Spilka, Senator Barrett,
and all of my colleagues
for working tirelessly to pass
this transformational legislation.”
The
bill consolidates reviews
of clean energy siting
and permitting, which will
speed the pace of planning,
constructing and bringing
clean energy infrastructure
online to support clean energy
technologies, such as solar,
wind and storage, to create
an electrifi ed future and
reduce emissions.
Enhanced community review
via new offi ces is created
in the bill, including the
Offi ce of Environmental Justice
and Equity, the Offi ce of
Public Participation at the Energy
Facilities Siting Board,
and the Division of Siting and
Permitting at the Department
of Energy Resources. Each offi
ce will be charged with engaging
with and providing resources
to communities and
applicants to ensure a thorough,
equitable and community-centered
review.
In order to help protect residents
from bearing the cost
of building new infrastructure,
when possible, the state
will require the Energy Facilities
Siting Board to fi rst consider
maximizing the effi ciency
of current infrastructure
through the use of innovative
technologies, such as advanced
transmission technologies
or grid-enhancing technologies,
before approving
new construction. An online
clean energy infrastructure
dashboard will also be created
to promote transparency
and public accountability in
real time.

The Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce has become the fi rst sheriff ’s offi ce
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to install a naloxone
vending machine at one of its facilities. The machine was
installed on December 9, 2024, at the Middlesex Jail & House
of Correction in Billerica, Mass. (Courtesy photo)
U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved
medication for
opioid use disorder (OUD). Many
of them participate via the Medication
Assisted Treatment and
Directed Opioid Recovery (MATADOR)
program off ered at the facility
– considered a national best
practice by the National Institute
of Corrections.
“We have always taken a comprehensive,
public health-centered
approach to supporting
those working through recovery,”
said Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian.
“Through MATADOR and our
Families in Treatment program,
we have been at the forefront of
implementing commonsense,
data-driven initiatives to surround
individuals and their families
with options for treatment.
This new eff ort builds upon that
robust foundation and will help
make this life-saving medication
more readily available.”
Individuals visiting the facility
can access the naloxone anonymously,
and they will answer
a few brief survey questions regarding
age, gender, race and zip
code. Survey data will be used
to help inform future MSO programming,
as well as community-based
prevention and inurry
College congratulates
Tyler David of Evertervention
initiatives along with
stakeholders from across Middlesex
County. The survey takes
less than 30 seconds to complete.
In
addition to dispensing the
naloxone, the vending machine
features a video and graphics
with instructions on how to
properly administer the medication.
Currently, MSO distributes
naloxone to loved ones of incarcerated
individuals through the
Families in Treatment (FIT) training
programs. To date, 234 community
members have been
trained through the FIT program.
Access to naloxone and training
on how to properly administer
it has been proven eff ective
in saving lives across Massachusetts.
Earlier this year, data
released by the Department of
Public Health showed that its
distribution of 196,500 naloxone
kits through community-level
programs resulted in at least
10,206 overdose reversals since
the beginning of 2023.
The Middlesex Sheriff ’s Offi ce
is using funding from a Comprehensive
Opioid, Stimulant, and
Substance Abuse Site-based Program
(COSSAP) grant to support
this groundbreaking initiative.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 17, 2025
Hanson Milone Safe Boating Act signed into law
B
OSTON – On Wednesday,
January 8, 2025 Governor
Maura Healey signed a
safe boater bill establishing
a boater education program.
The bill is the Hanson-Milone
Act (S3011 Amendment
to H4941). This legislation will
mandate that boat operators
in the Commonwealth obtain
a boater safety certifi cate.
The legislation was fi rst drafted
over ten years ago by previous
State Rep. Thomas Calter.
It was most recently sponsored
and championed by Rep. Kathleen
LaNatra (Democrat 12th
Plymouth) and former State
Senator Susan Moran.
The new law will require
all who operate a boat in the
Commonwealth first to pass
a boater safety test and be issued
a boater safety certificate,
which must be present
on the boat being operated at
all times. The legislation provides
certain exemptions to
the requirements for individuals
such as merchant mariners,
active members of the Armed
Forces who are qualified to
operate motorboats, or students
of a secondary or maritime
school or college who
operate motorboats as part of
instruction. Individuals who
previously possessed a boater
safety certifi cate will not be required
to receive another certifi
cate or retake an examination.There
are also inclusions
for reciprocity for boaters with
NASBLA-approved certifi cates
from other states or MA boaters
who already have a boater
safety certifi cate.

Shown
above, Eric Hanson, Rep. Bruce Ayers, Rep Joan Meschino, Rep. Kathleen LaNatra, Lisa
Milone, Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, MMTA Boating Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Jessica Giannino &
Chairman James Murphy.
“The signing of the Hanson Milone
safe boating bill provides
a gateway to further education
for the recreational boating
industry in Massachusetts,
leading to lives saved on the
waterways for years to come.
Thank you to many involved
in passing the bill, especially
Rep. LaNatra and Christopher
Jean, her Chief of Staff ,
for their many years of working
on this bill. Thank you also
to Governor Healey, Lt. Governor
Driscoll, Chairman Aaron
Michlewitz, and Chairman Michael
Rodrigues for their support
and fi nal approval of the
bill. An element of the new law
can be directly related to a recent
statistic released by the
US Coast Guard – “Where instruction
was known, 75%
of deaths occurred on boats
where the operator did not
receive boating safety education”.
– As the late great Paul
Milone frequently said – “Safe
Boating is no Accident.”.
The bill is named after David
Hanson, a young man who
tragically lost his life in a boating
accident in 2010, and Paul
Milone, the late harbormaster
from Weymouth who dedicated
his life to boat safety and
was a major proponent and
advocate for this legislation.
The Hanson and Milone families
have been strong advocates
for passing this crucial
legislation and were able to
participate in the offi cial announcement
of the bill passing
at an event at the DiscovHANSON
MILONE
SAFE BOATING
BILL PASSES

Boaters are now
safer on the

the passage of
the Hanson

“SAFE
BOATING

THANK YOU!
Governor Healey, Lt. Governor Driscoll,
Chairman Rodrigues, Chairman Michlewitz, Representative LaNatra,
and the entire MA State Administration for helping to pass
this extremely important safe boating bill

Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll presented
the signed bill to Lisa
Milone, Paul’s widow, and Eric
Hanson, David’s brother.
The timeline for implementation
of the Hanson-Milone
Act is as follows:
Guidance will be published by
the offi ce of law enforcement no
later than October 1, 2025.
Anyone born after January 1,
1989, has until April 1, 2026, to
obtain their certifi cate, provided
that no operator shall be assessed
a penalty until September
1, 2026.
Anyone born on or before
January 1, 1989, must obtain
their certificate before April
1, 2028.

Tide boys basketball takes down Brockton
to stay in contention for playoff berth
After going up against Malden, Medford earlier this week, Everett faces

By Joe McConnell
he Everett High School
boys basketball team (36)
got a much needed win
last Saturday night at home
against non-league Brockton,
defeating the Boxers by double
digits, 69-59.
Second-year Everett coach
T
Gerard Boyce said that “it was
an evenly played game, which
ended with us securing a hardfought
victory.”
Jevaun Berberena contributed
nine points and six assists
to the winning cause,
while also demonstrating
skills in all facets of the game,
including excellent playmaking
to ensure this critical
victory, according to Boyce.
“(Berberena’s) ability to facilitate
scoring opportunities
for his teammates was critical
in our offensive gameplan
against Brockton,” Boyce
added.
Boyce also praised the contributions
of Tyson Chunn,
who showed off his versatility,
while scoring seven points
and grabbing three crucial rebounds
to help maintain the
lead during key moments of
the game.
Henrique Pinto poured in
13 points, and was also credited
with three rebounds. “(Pinto)
proved his effectiveness at
both ends of the court,” said
Boyce.
Geordiell Luna Morales was
the leader on offense against
Brockton with 21 points and
eight rebounds. “His consistent
ability to find the basket
and his tenacity on the boards
significantly impacted the
game’s outcome,” said Boyce.
Cristian Vasquez chipped
in with 15 points and nine rebounds,

come of the game. “(Vasquez)
fought hard for every possession
down low,” said Boyce.
Adam Aitmessaoud played
briefly, but his impact was significant,
according to Boyce.
He collected only two assists,
but was able to keep himself
ready to support his teammates,
when he was called
upon to go into the game.
Despite the win, Boyce recognizes
that there’s still room
for improvement, especially
in protecting the ball to avoid
the frequent turnover. But the

Tide girls basketball continues to work hard
to gain that winning edge for the stretch run
After taking on host Malden last night, Everett finally returns home next week to face Lynn English, Medford
By Joe McConnell
T
he Everett High School girls
basketball team (1-6) is trying
to put things together, and
with six weeks left in the regular
season there’s still time to
turn it around in a positive direction.
But in the meantime,
the Crimson Tide dropped
three more games throughout
this past week, falling to Lynn
English, Lowell and Somerville.
On Jan. 10, the Bulldogs
were all over the Everett girls
to the tune of 63-38. “This was
a tough game against a really
tenacious Lynn English team,”
said coach Riley Dunn.
The Tide’s senior captain
Emilia Maria Babcock led all
Tide scorers in this road game
in Lynn with 18 points.
Three days later, non-league
host Lowell defeated the Tide,
52-24 to begin a new week.
“The final score does not (reflect)
how hard my girls worked
in this game,” said Dunn. “They
fought until the last second,
while keeping the energy high
throughout the entire game.
I was very proud of their resilience
and support for their
teammates in a challenging
game (against a perennial playoff
team).”
The Tide’s Julianna Rivera
calmly went 4-for-4 from the
free throw line. Maria Babcock
led all Everett scorers with 14
points, while also coming up
with three steals. Junior Nicole
Damaceno fought hard underneath
the boards to account for
10 rebounds.
The road trip continued the
very next night at Somerville,
where the host Highlanders escaped
past their Greater Boston
League (GBL) rivals, 53-46.
“This was one heck of a battle,”
said Dunn. “We battled (despite
trailing) the entire game,
and (continued to fight) to the
last minute. We battled back
through injuries and foul trouble,
but unfortunately fell just
short.”
Freshman Julianna Rivera led
all Tide scorers with 19 points.
She also dominated down low
with eight rebounds. Damaceno
also had a monster game
on the boards, pulling down
18 rebounds. Maria Babcock
was credited with 15 points
and eight rebounds.
The Everett girls went up
against Malden in another
road game last night (Jan. 16)
after press deadline, before finally
coming home next week
to take on Lynn English (Jan.
21, 6 p.m.) and Medford (Jan.
23, 6 p.m.). They hope that the
familiar surroundings will turn
around these close games into
wins in order to build up some
momentum for the stretch run.

veteran coach was pleased
by the way they transitioned
from defense to off ense with
consistent ball movement.
“To build on this victory, we’ll
focus on tightening up the
overall game, while also continuing
to capitalize on our
strengths,” added Boyce.
The Tide began last week
with a 61-50 loss to nonleague
Newton South on Jan.
7. Vasquez was the leading
scorer in this game with 11
points. Pinto was next in line
with nine points. Richardson
Lamerique was close behind
with eight. Luna Moreles accounted
for six.
“As a team, we executed
mistake-free basketball
throughout the first half,”
said Boyce. “But we were unable
to maintain that same
energy in the second half.
We had too many missed assignments,
which ultimately
hindered our ability to secure
the victory.”
The Everett boys then
dropped a 71-62 decision
to host East Boston, Boyce’s
alma mater, two nights later.
Luna Moreles led the way
on offense with 17 points.
Vasquez accounted for nine.
Pinto had eight. Jayden Alsaindor
and Lamerique each
netted seven points. Chunn
tallied six points.
“We faced too many challenges
in this game with so
many excessive (violations)
that were called on us,” Boyce
said. “We were called for four
three-second violations and
a technical foul that was
pinned on us after making a
critical three-pointer, which
at the time put us ahead by
seven.
“Our ability to function as
a cohesive unit diminished
quite a bit throughout the
course of the game with
many of our players fouling
out,” added Boyce. “We
played as individuals, which
distracted from our play in
a challenging road environment.
I hope that this experience
will serve as a stepping
stone toward growing up as a
team. Together, we can learn,
evolve and emerge stronger
from this experience.”
The Tide took that fi rst step
on Saturday night by beating
aforementioned Brockton
by 10 points. They have
since gone up against Malden
(Jan. 14) and Medford
(Jan. 16) at home after press
deadline, before taking on
non-league St. Mary’s of

Provisions include requiring

It also ensures that consumers

and health care transactions by
the Health Policy Commission
(HPC) and the Center for Health
Analysis and Information with
the goal of increasing visibility
and accountability for transactions
involving private owners
of health care resources.
It also includes a provision establishing
a primary care task
force, co-chaired by Health and
Human Services Secretary Kate
Walsh and the Executive Director
of the HPC. The task force will
study primary care access, delivery
and payment, develop recommendations
to stabilize and
strengthen the primary care system,
increase recruitment and
increase financial investment
and patient access.
“We know that one of the
biggest strains on Massachusetts
family’s budgets is the
high health care costs,” said
Gov. Healey. “These new laws
will lower out-of-pocket costs
by capping copays at $25 for
lifesaving prescription medications
and increasing transparency
in the industry. They also
close loopholes in our regulatory
processes so that for-profit
providers like Steward Health
Care are subject to the same
transparency rules as non-profit
providers. As attorney general,
I spent years in court trying to
hold Steward to this standard,
and I’m glad that our laws will no
longer be exploited in this way.”
“The bills signed by Gov.

enduring commitment
to protecting patients, bringing
down cost growth and to fostering
greater stability and accountability

Does Medicare Cover Talk
Therapy Services?
Dear Savvy Senior,
What types of mental health
services does Medicare cover? I
struggle with anxiety and depression,
and my primary care provider
recommended I see a therapist
or psychiatrist.
Anxious Annie
Dear Annie,
Medicare actually covers both
outpatient and inpatient mental
health care services and programs
to help benefi ciaries with
anxiety, depression and many
other mental health needs. Here
what you should know.
Outpatient Coverage
If you’re enrolled in original
Medicare, your Part B coverage
will pay 80 percent (after you’ve
met your annual $257 Part B deductible)
for a variety of counseling
and mental health care
services that are provided outside
a hospital, such as in a doctor
or therapist’s offi ce, hospital
outpatient department or community
health center. These services
can also be received via
telehealth.
You, or your Medicare supplemental
(Medigap) policy, is responsible
for the remaining 20
percent coinsurance.
Medicare also gives you the
expanded option of getting
treatment through a variety
of health professionals such
as psychiatrists, psychologists,
clinical nurse specialists, clinical
social workers, nurse practitioners,
physician assistants,
marriage and family therapists
and mental health counselors.
To get this coverage, you’ll
need to choose a participating
provider that accepts Medicare
assignment, which means they
accept Medicare’s approved
amount as full payment for a
service.
If you choose a nonparticipating
provider who accepts
Medicare but does not agree
to Medicare’s payment rate, you
may have to pay more. And if
you choose an opt-out provider
that does not accept Medicare
payments at all, you will be
responsible for the entire cost.
To locate a mental health care
professional in your area that
accepts Medicare, go to Medicare.gov/care-compare,
click on
“doctors & clinicians” and type
in your location, followed by
“clinical psychologist” or “psychiatry”
in the Name & Keyword
box. You can also get this information
by calling Medicare at
800-633-4227.
Inpatient Coverage
If you happen to need mental
health services in either a
general or psychiatric hospital,
original Medicare Part A covers
this too, after you’ve met your
$1,676 Part A deductible. Your
doctor should determine which
hospital setting you need. If you
receive care in a psychiatric hospital,
Medicare covers up to 190
days of inpatient care for your
lifetime. And if you use your lifetime
days but need additional
care, Medicare may cover additional
inpatient care at a general
hospital.
Additional Coverage
In addition to the outpatient
and inpatient mental health services,
Medicare also covers yearly
depression screenings that
must be done in a primary care
doctor’s offi ce or clinic. Annual
depression screenings are covered
100 percent.
And if you have a Medicare
prescription drug plan, most
medications used to treat mental
health conditions are covered
too.
Medicare Advantage
Coverage
If you get your Medicare benefi
ts through a private Medicare
Advantage plan, they too provide
the same coverage as original
Medicare does, but may impose
diff erent rules and will likely
require you to see an in-network
provider. You’ll need to
contact your plan directly for
details.
For more information, call
Medicare at 800-633-4227 and
request a copy of publication
#10184 “Medicare & Your Mental
Health Benefi ts,” or you can
read it online at Medicare.gov.

law legislation that would repeal
a current state law which
creates professional licensure
consequences for anyone who
defaults on their student loan.
Under current law, a borrower’s
state-issued professional or occupational
certifi cate, registration
or license can be suspended,
revoked or canceled if the
borrower is in default on an education
loan.

Martins argued that previous
ordinances prohibited testing.
“That’s what our citizens
supported,” she said. “Limited
testing is still testing. I’m not
against life science, but it’s possible
to have life science without
animal testing. They can
test cell cultures, but it’s expensive.”
She
also said, “In regard to
high paying jobs, we don’t just
get those jobs. We have to start
with basics and think about
funding our schools properly
and job preparedness. We
have to make sure our people
are qualifi ed. Otherwise, we’re
just bringing in people from
the outside.”
She didn’t mention that a local
facility could prompt people
to move to Everett.
Smith acknowledged there
are alternatives and they are
“Current laws are potentially
harmful to the more than one
million student loan borrowers
in the commonwealth,” said
sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins
(D-Leominster). “With all of the
uncertainty around the federal
student loan forgiveness and repayment
plans, now more than
ever, we need to protect student
loan borrowers and ensure they
can continue their work and
have the ability to repay their
student loan debt.”
ID FOR LIQUOR PURCHASES

into law a measure that would

more expensive, but “in cities
around us, they are doing animal
testing.”
She also said, “Companies
help with job force creation.”
In discussion, Garcia said,
“Every single email I’ve gotten
is against this. I have to listen
to my constituents.”
Hanlon said, “I don’t think I
want to see animal testing, but
I don’t want to see the benefi ts
it’s brought to the human race
end” before voting for the new
ordinance.
Matewsky added that he
hopes the Mayor crafts a host
agreement “that puts their feet
to the fi re.”
DiPierro said there were
good arguments on both
sides. “I’m torn,” he admitted.
“The reality is if neighboring
communities are allowing it,

DECLAWING OF CATS (S 2552)
– Gov. Healey signed into law a
measure that would ban cat declawing
and tendonectomy unless
it is done for the medical
need of the feline. The measure
imposes a fi ne on off enders of
up to $1,000 for a fi rst off ense,
$1,500 for a second off ense and
$2,500 for a third or subsequent
off ense.
Supporters said that declawing
a cat involves amputating
the last bone of each toe, which
if performed on a human would
be equivalent to cutting off each
fi nger at the last knuckle. They
noted that according to the
American Veterinary Medical
Association, the physical side
eff ects from declawing include
both acute and chronic pain, improperly
healed wounds, sudden
loss of blood, impaired immune
response and behavioral
side eff ects include biting.
“Declawing is an abhorrent
practice that most veterinarians
view as inhumane,” said sponsor
Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New
Bedford). “This is another step
in my commitment to protect
animals in the commonwealth.
As a state we have done far too
little to punish heartless abusers
and to push back against a
weak court system that has too
often failed to hold them accountable.”
PROTECT
CATS AND DOGS (S
2908) – Gov. Healey signed into
law legislation that would prohibit
the sale or transfer of any
puppies and kittens under eight
weeks old. Violators would be
fi ned $100 per animal.
When the animal is more than
eight weeks old, the outright
ban is lifted and replaced with
a section that would prohibit
the sale or transfer of any dogs
or cats at specifi ed outdoor locations,
such as flea markets
and roadsides. This prohibition
would not apply to the transfer
of a dog or cat by, or to, a shelter,
animal control or animal rescue;
or to the display of a dog or
cat as part of a state or county
fair exhibition, a 4-H program or
similar exhibition or educational
program. Violators would be
fi ned $50 per animal for a fi rst
off ense, $100 for a second offense
and $300 for a third and
subsequent off ense.

THE OFFICE OF ELDER
AFFAIRS (S 3006) – Gov.
Healey signed into law a bill
