McGonagle and

this relationship during
many events, including a ceremony
at the Irish Cultural
Center and meetings with
the Consul General of Ireland
in Boston, Síghle Fitzgerald,
and Taoiseach (prime minister)
Leo Varadkar as well as
St. Patrick’s Day celebrations,
including the annual South
Boston breakfast. McGonagle,
an active member of the
Irish Legislators caucus, says
events like these are necessary
to keep up the success of
the relationships between the
two nations.
“Speaking with Taoiseach
Varadkar, he really emphasized
the importance of this
partnership between our two
countries,” said McGonagle.
“The value of the cultural exchange
between students,
workers and travelers is truly
priceless. Getting a diff erent
worldview, to live in a diff erent
history is an incredible opportunity.
Every trip I have had
over to Ireland has broadened
my perspectives immensely.
I’m so grateful for the opportunities
to meet new people and
hear their stories, knowing this
only makes me better able to
represent my own community.
The Irish-American roots run
strong and deep and I hope
we can continue that. Consul
General Fitzgerald has done a
fantastic job integrating into
the Massachusetts community,
it’s a joy to work with her. I
also think my colleagues in the
Irish Legislators Caucus, especially
Reps. John Lawn and Jamie
Murphy, have made a tremendous
eff ort to strengthen
this connection.”

City officials answer councillors’ infrastructure questions
C
By Neil Zolot
ouncillor-at-Large Guerline
Alcy Jabouin asked city officials
how they would handle
infrastructure improvements,
particularly related to water,
wastewater and sewage services
as a result of rapid development,
at the City Council
meeting on Monday, March 25.
“Everybody wants to build in
Everett and we feel we’re being
suffocated and won’t be able to
breathe,” she said. “I feel like I’ll
wake up and won’t be able to
turn on my water.”
“We have plans to accommodate
future needs,” stated City
Engineer Erik Swanson. “We’re
focused on areas with new development.
Additional development
in already established
areas is not as critical as areas of
new development, such as the
Commercial Triangle south of
Revere Beach Parkway/Route
16. There’s enough redundancy
in areas already developed,
but not in areas south of Revere
Beach Parkway.”
He also said existing pipes
are “substantial. The pipes were
installed with a build-out in
mind. Pipes are sized to accommodate
a full build-out. We’re
working with consultants to
understand our needs. That
study isn’t done yet.”
“We’re working with developers
to tell us what we need
to do for future development,”
Swanson said regarding a
question related to any future
development. “It’s being
worked on now. There are also
plans to replace existing pipes
in existing sections. There are
plans to replace lead service
lines in the next 18 months.
Plans are not finished for undeveloped
sections.”
Jabouin asked about financial
obligations to homeowners
should pipe replacement
be deemed necessary. The
City’s Chief Financial Officer,
Eric Demas, answered, “The
City is fully insured.”
“If it’s determined it’s the
City’s fault, the City would be
financially responsible,” City Solicitor
Colleen Mejia added. “If
it’s determined it’s the homeowner’s
responsibility, the City
wouldn’t be.” The determination
would be made by City officials
and insurance adjusters.
“Where do the City and
homeowners’ pipes meet?”
asked Councillor-at-Large Michael
Marchese, who, ironically,
has owned multiple properties
throughout the city for many
years. Swanson answered that
homeowners are responsible
for pipes for their house to the
main.
After the meeting, Jabouin
felt frustrated. “I feel like we’re
not getting ready for what’s
about to happen,” she said.
“I’m not against development,
but I’m against having all these
new units no one can afford
and want to know if we’re dealing
with the infrastructure to
accommodate all the development.
What are our plans? Everett
is an old city and we’ll have
backups because of all the additional
development our infrastructure
won’t be able to
handle.”
Also addressed at the meeting,
the councillors approved
Mayor asks all residents to participate
in annual Earth Day Cleanup
All are welcome to register to help plant 3,000 trees
M
and clean up at Gateway Park and Glenwood Cemetery
In addition to planting trees
that the City of Everett will
host the annual Earth Day
Cleanup on Saturday, April 20,
from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Gateway
Park (inside the Gateway
Center: 1 Mystic View Rd.) and
Glenwood Cemetery (Washington
Avenue). In celebration
of Earth Day, which is recognized
every year on April 22
to celebrate the anniversary of
the birth of the modern environmental
movement, the
City will join with community
members and local organizations
to plant 3,000 trees
at Gateway Park. In order to
reach this goal, the Mayor is
asking all residents to join in
on this community effort to
help improve Everett’s environment.
Participants
will have the
opportunity to mulch and
plant trees that will help improve
the environment and
the public park’s green space.
Some of the benefits of planting
trees include reducing energy
usage, removing air pollutants,
filtering stormwater
and cooling urban areas by

Apollinaire Theatre Company presents ‘Touching the Void’ by David Greig
B
ased on Joe Simpson’s
bestselling memoir
turned BAFTA-winning fi lm,
David Greig’s thrilling adaptation
charts an astonishing
feat of human endurance.
Life-affi rming and often
darkly funny, “Touching
the Void” takes the audience
on an epic adventure that
asks how far you’d be willing
to go to survive.

counts Joe Simpson’s struggle
for survival after an accident
leaves him stranded
with a shattered leg on Siula
Grande mountain in the
Peruvian Andes. His climbing
partner, Simon Yates, attempts
a near impossible
rescue, but when Joe disappears
over an ice cliff , Simon,
battered by freezing
winds and tethered to his
injured partner, makes the
heart-wrenching decision to
cut the rope.
“Touching the Void” is
Apollinaire’s third production
of a David Greig play,
following “The Strange Undoing
of Prudencia Hart” in
2019 (Elliot Norton Award for
Outstanding Ensemble) and
“Midsummer” in 2015. Greig
is a multi-award-winning
playwright and the Artistic
Director of the Royal Lyceum
Theatre Edinburgh. His adaptation
of “Touching the Void”
premiered at the Bristol Old
Vic in 2018 and transferred to
the Duke of York’s Theatre in
London’s West End.

will be approximately $13,857
for the fi rst year and $2,438.53
for each of the remaining four
years, with funds already in the
budget for the plan.
City councillors also approved
a request to transfer
$7,552,930 from Budgetary
Fund Balance (Free Cash) into
the following funds: General
Stabilization Fund ($2,265,879),
Other Post-Employment Benefi
ts (OPEB) Liability Trust Fund
($2,265,879) and Capital Improvement
Stabilization Fund
($3,021,172). “These funds
are going into stabilization
funds,” Ward 5 Councillor and
City Council President Robert
Van Campen informed his colleagues
after reading the motion.
“Appropriation will require
additional action.”
“The City Council has full authority
on spending,” Demas
elaborated further. “It’s just a
transfer to build reserves.”
Before the transfers the OPEB
fund totaled $11,379,025; the
General Stabilization Fund,
$8,262,033 and the Capital Improvement
Stabilization Fund,
$5,027,184.
Jabouin and Marchese voted
against approval of the transfers.
“I’m not against the transfers,
but we usually ask for detailed
information, which we
didn’t get,” Jabouin said about
her vote.
A discussion about borrowing
$3,000,000 to fund Everett
Square improvements was tabled
until a Special Meeting at
a later date.

is an ever-growing fi eld and
it is so important that we
give our students access to
it. From hobbies to lucrative
careers, being proficient in
computer science skills is the
way of the future. The team at
CSforMA does a great job promoting
this but also working
towards making it available
and approachable for all students.
Mr. Plotnick at Everett
High School is also instrumental
in this and I’m grateful
our Everett students have
him. I also want to thank Senator

organizing and promoting
this event, as well as recognizing
the importance of this
mission.”

during two weekends in April

be there, too. A tale for anyone
who has never been destined
to save the world. Third
or nothing!
The New York Times proclaims
“Puffs” “a fast-paced romp
through the seven increasingly
eventful years…. For Potterphiliacs
who grew up alongside
Potter and are eager to revisit
that world, Puffs exudes a
jovial winking fondness for all
things Harry!”
Performances are April 1920-21
and 26-27-28, 2024, on
Friday and Saturday evenings
at 8:00 p.m., and with Sunday

Long, the luncheon celebrated
the visions, voices and impact
of women as part of the
City’s celebration of Women’s
History Month. Long, who was
a lifelong Everett resident, had
a significant impact on the Everett
community through public
service and her passion for
volunteering. Her volunteerism
included work with organizations,
such as the Malden
YMCA and Mystic Valley Elder
Services, as well as Housing
Families, Inc., where she dedicated
16 years tutoring homeless
children. For those efforts,
she was honored in 2018 at Gillette
Stadium as a Patriots Difference
Maker. Long served on
the Everett School Committee
and was elected Commissioner
of the Everett Charter Commission,
where she led a team
effort to rewrite and modernize
the City’s constitution. She
also served on the City’s Diversity
and Equity Task Force and
was on the Board of Directors
of the Devens School, along
with being an Election Warden
in the City of Everett.
“I couldn’t think of a better
person to honor with the naming
of this annual luncheon
than Dorothy Martin Long,”
said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “We
had many long discussions
about different subjects over
the years and she was always
fair and sensible with her opinions,
which were strong and
reasonable. She always shared
great innovative ideas about
ways to improve our community.
But most of all, she was a
great human being with compassion
and empathy for all.”

support family caregivers. (Courtesy of MVES)
Y
ou’ve probably heard the
phrase “Caregivers need
care, too.” It’s certainly true, but
it’s often easier said than done.
If you are a family caregiver who
could use a little support, Mystic
Valley Elder Services (MVES)
can help.
MVES is a nonprofit that specializes
in supporting older
adults, people with disabilities
and their caregivers. MVES
has found that many caregivers
aren’t aware of the guidance
and services available to
them – some think they can’t
afford it, while others believe
their income is too high to qualify
for help. In reality, there are
resources to assist all caregivers
and families, regardless of
their income. You don’t have to
do it alone.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
awarded MVES a
grant to develop new ways to
support caregivers. The grant
empowered MVES to provide
monetary stipends to families
that don’t qualify for MassHealth,
so that caregivers can
take advantage of in-person
and online programs that suit
their needs.
MVES was also able to create
a quarterly Saturday program at
The Community Family’s adult
day health center. Designed
for those caring for a loved one
with Alzheimer’s or dementia,
this program gives caregivers
a much-needed break during
weekend hours.
Navigating your options: These
opportunities are only one part
of MVES’ Caregiver Support Program.
It can be overwhelming
to find the right information,
care and resources. For over 45
years, MVES has helped families
navigate the options and find
solutions that work for them.
The MVES Caregiver Support
Program also offers:
• A wide variety of MVES services,
whether your loved one
needs them now or later, including:
transportation, Meals on
Wheels, in-home services and
insurance counseling
• In-person and virtual support
groups
• Workshops, training and educational
resources
• Referrals and help applying
for programs
• Memory Café events for
families dealing with memory
loss
• Help for grandparents raising
grandkids
• Guest speakers and other
special events
You are eligible for the Caregiver
Support program at
MVES if you fit any of these
descriptions:
• You care for an adult age 60
or older
• You care for someone with
dementia (such as Alzheimer’s
disease)
• You are age 55 or older
and care for a child under 18
(grandparent or other nonparent
relative)
• You are age 55 or older and
care for an adult with a disability

Support Program, or any of

(EHS) received training on
how to administer Narcan
– a medication that is used
to reverse an opioid overdose
– when needed. The
training, which was led by
Fenway Health (ACCESS
Drug User Health Program)
Overdose Aftercare and
Outreach Specialist Brielle
Carelli, educated students
on how to administer Narcan
and when to use it. In
addition to Carelli, Everett
Public Schools Youth Substance
Prevention Specialist
Juliana Blodgett, Everett
Fire Department Outreach
Addiction Specialist
Paul Guarino and Assistant
Director of Youth Substance
Abuse Prevention
Eric Mazzeo spoke about
their roles in the community
and how they will be
interacting with youth going
forward. The students
also had the opportunity
to learn about the effects
of addiction and alcoholism
on individuals, families and
communities.
The goal of the training
was to engage with EHS students
and teachers on what
the meaning of harm reduction
is and how Narcan
can save lives. Additionally,
the training helped spread
awareness to all high school
students about fentanyl, the
dangers of counterfeit pills
and the importance of administering
Narcan.
If you or someone you
know is dealing with Substance
Use Disorder, there
are resources available. The
Everett Fire Department offers
the Roadmap to Recovery
program, which helps individuals
and families navigate
through community
services that can access recovery
resources. Roadmap

Tide softball coach Stacy Schiavo set to begin
her 26th
T
he Everett High School (183)
softball team completed
a mighty successful championship
season in the Greater
Boston League (GBL) last year
under the direction of veteran
coach Stacy Schiavo. They then
went on to participate in the
Division 1 state tournament as
the 34th seed, where they were
eliminated by host Needham
in the preliminary round. But
2024 is a new year, and Schiavo’s
squad is ready for another
banner campaign in the GBL
with the hopes of going deep
into the postseason.
There’s no doubt that possibility
awaits them with 11 returning
players. Schiavo has
already rounded her varsity
roster of 15 with the addition
of four newcomers to the
big club.
The 2024 Crimson Tide varsity
softball roster is going to consist
of freshman Mia Allen, senior
Everett High School junior catcher Emilia Maria-Babcock,
shown swinging away during a game last April, returns as the
team’s new starting catcher this year. The Tide will begin the
GBL season on Wednesday, April 3, at Chelsea’s Carter Park,
beginning at 4 p.m. (Advocate File Photo)

DaVilla, senior Stephany DeSouza,
freshman Olivia Dresser,

Emma Longmore, junior Emilia
Maria-Babcock, senior Bryanna
Mason, senior Gianna Masucci,
junior Kassidy Rivera, senior
Chloe Salvi, junior Ashley
Seward, junior Alexa Uga and
junior Peyton Warren.
Schiavo is excited that the
entire infield and outfield is
back, but the catcher will be
different with Babcock replacing
Kayley Rossi. The Tide will
also have a new look in the circle.
Last year’s ace Kristi Skane
has since graduated, along
with her batterymate Rossi,
but Warren is ready to step in
to throw strikes. These two
junior replacements will now
provide the varsity much stability
at the two most important
positions on the diamond
for the next two springs, a luxury
that’s certainly not overlooked
by the Tide mentor.
Throughout the course of a
season, any good team needs
capable backups, and Allen, a
freshman, will give the varsity
just that in the circle. But for the
most part, she will be honing her
skills as a hurler on the JV club.
The team goals for the upcoming
season remain simple
for the coach. “We want to be
more consistent on offense,
and not be complacent,” Schiyear
with the same winning aspirations
Everett opens up the GBL season against host Chelsea next Wednesday at Carter Park
By Joe McConnell
avo said. But then she added,
“we would like to win the
league again, and move further
into the playoffs.”
Schiavo is beginning her
26th year along the Everett
sidelines, and has compiled a
most impressive 330-192 career
record. With that type of
success, another winning campaign
should be in the cards for
the Everett girls.
But Schiavo knows she can’t
win by herself, and that’s where
Jen Nigro comes in as her varsity
assistant. The JV team is going
to be headed up by Danielle
Kennedy-Nadeau. Bridget
Cifuni is in charge of the freshman
club.
Everett was scheduled to
open up the regular season
yesterday (March 28) at Glendale
Park against non-league
Cambridge, weather permitting.
They will then begin the
league schedule at Chelsea’s
Carter Park on Wednesday,
April 3, starting at 4 p.m.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024
~ Excellence in the EPS ~
State Finalists!
EHS Theatre Company advances to the fi nal round of the METG Drama Festival
E
verett High School (EHS)
has earned a place in the
Massachusetts Educational
Theatre Guild (METG) 2024 Drama
Festival Finals, the culminating
achievement in a successful
multiyear eff ort to build
a Theatre Company that can
stand – and stage! – with any
school in the Commonwealth.
The achievement is as historic
as it is impressive. EHS, one
of the METG’s founding members
in 1930, has not reached
the festival fi nals since 1954 –
a testament to how diffi cult it
is to progress through the preliminary
and semifi nal rounds
of the competition.
“We could not be happier
for these students and faculty,”
said Superintendent William
Hart. “This is truly a case
of being among the best of
the best, and we look forward
to seeing them showcase their
talents to a large audience in
Boston later this month.”
The 2024 METG Drama Festival
Finals are spread over three
days – March 21-23 – at the
Back Bay Events Center (180
Berkeley St. in Boston). EHS is
scheduled to take the stage
on Saturday, March 23, at 3
p.m., when it will stage “August
and Noble.” Written by
Carlos Murillo, “Augusta and
Noble” is the coming-of-age
story of Gabi Castillo, who lives
in a vibrant Latino community
in the West Town neighborhood
of Chicago. Gabi is a new
student at Northside College
Prep, where she is quickly exposed
to new people and possibilities.
“This
powerful piece of theater
represents my community
on stage,” said senior Gabrielle
De Gouveia, who plays the
role of Gabi Castillo. “So many
of us in Everett share the story
of Gabi, and her family. Many
of our parents share the sacrifices
of Dolores and Reymundo
for the betterment of
their children’s future. Hearing
from other viewers of the
play at Prelims and Semi’s say
that they have never seen this
type of story represented on
stage is truly meaningful to
me. It is a beautiful representation
of the immigrant experience,
and I hope that others
feel the same way.”
EHS is one of only 14 schools
to punch a ticket to the METG
fi nals. The festival began with
115 participating schools
that competed in the preliminary
round. The four highest
ranked theater companies
from the 13 preliminary
sites advanced to the semifi -
nal round, which consisted of
six schools at seven locations.
Only the top two schools from
each semifi nal festival reached
the fi nals. (EHS has a been a
semifinal participant several
times in recent years.) EHS
Theatre Company students received
nine All Star Company
Awards across the preliminary
and semifi nal rounds, garnering
praise for all aspects of
the show.
Of EHS actor Gianna Rodriguez-Sanchez,
a semifinal
judge wrote, “Your performance
as Dolores was captivating
from the moment you
walked on stage. You brought
a maternal instinct that anchored
your performance and
made the backstory of your
harrowing journey so believable.
I found myself lost in the
way you carried your character,
forgetting I was watching
a High School performance.”
“I was immediately intrigued
by what I saw with vestiges of
a chain link fence and some
incredible painting and graffi
ti work,” a preliminary round
judge said of EHS’s set design.
“[To the] set construction
and scenic painting crew, this
was outstanding work. You
created the world of the play
with this practical and emblematic
set.”
The production of “Augusta
and Noble” is directed by a faculty-led
team: Artistic Director
Evan DeMarzo, Scenic Director
Briana Pierce, Costume Director
Josephine Dougan, Theatrical
Advisor Britt Mitchell and
Scenic Construction Advisor
Eric Pierce.

Culinary Arts students compete in ProStart invitational
S
ix EHS students were among
the participants in the 2024
Massachusetts ProStart Invitational,
which was held on February
27 at Gillette Stadium. The
challenging, high-energy event
was hosted by the Massachusetts
Restaurant Association Education
Fund and gave EHS students
the chance to cook alongside
nearly 100 of their peers
from nine Massachusetts high
schools.
Juniors Derek Carreiro, Trev’on
Carrington, Daniel Gracias and
Anthony Sanitzo entered the
team competition, in which the
young chefs had to prepare a
restaurant-quality three-course
meal. In addition, the students
had to provide their recipes,
cost plans and menu pricing to
the judges at the outset of the
festivities.
The EHS students prepared
pan-seared duck, sweet potato
gnocchi, watercress and a
pomegranate demi-glace for
an appetizer. For their entrée,
they made an apple-stuffed
pork loin with sweet potato,
Brussels sprouts and an apple
Dijon sauce. And they served a
poached apple cake with apple
craisin chutney, spiced walnuts
and whipped cream for dessert.
EHS seniors Arlo Connell and
Mariela Chacon took part in the
cake decorating competition.
They made prebaked, two-layer,
10-inch cakes that they had
one hour to decorate as beautifully
and elaborately as possible.
Connell fi nished third and
Chacon placed 11th in the cake
decorating category among 23
entrants.
“My congratulations to these
talented students and their instructors,
Carolynn Parmenter
and Corey Bourassa,” said Superintendent
William Hart. “They
have been working on these
recipes since November, and
they did a stellar job of representing
Everett High School on
a big stage.”
The students cooked in front
of judges and spectators, including
Everett State Representative
Joe McGonagle and
former Patriots standout Patrick
Chung.
Framingham High School:
“The Heart of Robin Hood.”
Joseph Case High School: “
Icarus.”
Leominster High School:
“The Unravelling.”

on the public policy topic
of Universal Basic Income vs.
Baby Bonds. Patino Molano and
Marquina Acosta were joined
in the fi nals by their EHS classmates
Hillary Monja Angeles

Beacon Hill
Roll Call
By Bob Katzen
There were no roll calls in the
House last week.
REVENGE PORN AND TEEN
SEXTING (S 2703)
Senate 40-0, approved a
proposal that would prohibit
the posting of sexually explicit
images of another person
online without their permission—
commonly referred
to as “revenge porn.” The practice
is often used by ex-spouses
or ex-partners.
Massachusetts is one of
only two states that does not
have a law about this crime.
The measure makes it illegal
to break this new law and establishes
a sentence of up to
2.5 years in prison and/or a
fine of up to $10,000; increases
the upper limit of the fine
for criminal harassment from
- LEGAL NOTICE -
$1,000 to $5,000; and allows a
victim to petition the court for
a harassment prevention order
against a person who has
violated this statute.
Another provision changes
current law under which minors,
under 18 years of age,
who share explicit images of
themselves or other minors,
can be charged with violating
Massachusetts child pornography
laws and are required to
register with the Sex Offender
Registry. The bill allows minors
to be diverted to an educational
program that would
provide them with information
about the consequences
of posting or transmitting
indecent visual depictions of
minors.

day we take another step towards
closing a loophole in
our laws that has caused pain,
anguish, embarrassment and
a sense of helplessness to
those survivors who for so
long suffered in silence, without
justice,” said chief sponsor
Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy).
“I am deeply grateful to those
who shared their stories and
advocated for change to ensure
others would not have
to suffer as they have. For every
case we know of, countless
others remain hidden, so
I hope passage of this legislation
by the Senate will soon
lead to the bill being signed
into law by the governor. Most
importantly, I hope it will provide
some closure for survivors
and their loved ones and
send a clear message that
there will be consequences for
such conduct.”
“I am proud that the Senate
has passed comprehensive
legislation to prevent abuse
and exploitation,” said Sen.
Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough),
Senate Chair of the Judiciary
Committee. “The rise
of new technology has created
a reality in our society
where it is easy to cause great
harm and significant trauma
to people, and Massachusetts
needs to take action to better
protect victims and prevent
such disturbing actions from
happening. We also need to
provide more tools to protect
people in a relationship from
being psychologically abused
through coercive control, with
a growing recognition of the
many ways that a partner or
family member can cause
emotional harm.”
The House has already approved
a different version of
the bill and a House-Senate
conference committee will
likely work out a compromise
version.
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Massachusetts Child
And Family Tax Credit
Y
ou are entitled to claim
a tax credit on your
2023 Massachusetts individual
income tax return if
you are taking care of a dependent
child, other dependent
or spouse with a disability
or another dependent
who is age 65 or older.
You can claim this tax credit
if you are filing single, head
of household or married filing
joint on your tax return.
Your dependent child
must be under age 13 as of
December 31, 2023. With respect
to a dependent age
65 or older as of December
31, 2023, that would not include
you or your spouse.
The tax credit to claim on
your Massachusetts return is
$310 for each qualifying individual.
There is no limit to
the number of qualified individuals
that you can claim
the tax credit for. For calendar
year 2024, the tax credit
will increase to $440 per
qualifying individual.
If you are a Massachusetts
non-resident filing a
non-resident Massachusetts
income tax return, you
cannot claim this tax credit.
Part year residents can
claim the credit and must
calculate the tax credit he
or she is qualified for based
upon the days living in Massachusetts.
A
dependent or spouse
with a disability is an individual
who is physically or
mentally incapable of caring
for himself or herself and
who principally lives with
the taxpayer for more than
half of the taxable year.
This is also a refundable
tax credit so even if you your
total tax is zero and you had
no withholdings from wages
or pension income, for
example, you would still
be able to receive a refund
based upon the tax credit
as calculated on your Massachusetts
income tax return.
This is the first year that
Massachusetts has provided
for such a tax credit. It is a
big help to taxpayers caring
for children, parents or disabled
individuals. This is in
addition to the virtual doubling
of the circuit breaker
tax credit available to taxpayers
age 65 or older.
Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney,
Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal
Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation.
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET
INCLUDING $250 MILLION
FUNDING FOR SHELTERS (S
2708)
Senate 32-8, approved a
supplemental budget that includes
an additional $250 million
in funding for the Emergency
Assistance Program
that funds the emergency
family shelter system which
houses migrants.
The bill requires each family
in shelter to receive an individualized
rehousing plan.
It makes eligibility for shelter
after nine months contingent
upon compliance with the rehousing
plan, with certain categorical
exemptions. It would
also allow officials to award
one or more 90-day extensions
to shelter residents who
meet certain criteria, such as
veterans, the disabled, a single
parents of children with
disabilities or those who need
an extension to avoid losing
a job.
Other provisions keep in
place some pandemic-era programs,
set to expire, including
allowing restaurants to sell
beer, wine and cocktails for
take-out and expanding outdoor
dining.
“The plan passed by the Senate
today addresses the state’s
fiscal reality while also treating
individuals who have migrated
to our state with dignity
and respect,” said Senate
President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland).

through a challenge

Best Cell Phones for Seniors
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you recommend some
good cell phones for seniors?
My 79-year-old mother needs
to get a new mobile phone
and has asked me to help her
fi nd one that she would like.
Searching Daughter
Dear Searching,
For older adults, choosing
a cell phone is not a
one-size-fi ts-all proposition.
Some seniors love the latest
high-tech smartphones with
high-megapixel cameras,
while others prioritize simple
phones with basic functions.
So, the best cell phone
for your mom will depend on
her comfort with technology,
priorities and budget.
Best Cell Phones
To help identify the best
cell phones for older adults, I
consulted Wirecutter, a product
testing and recommendation
service from The New
York Times who recently tested
18 cell phone models.
Their testing focus was on
three diff erent areas, including
best phones for older
adults who are comfortable
with technology and want
to upgrade to a full-featured
smartphone with robust accessibility
settings; best cell
phones for seniors who are
not tech-inclined or who prefer
a smartphone with fewer
features, as well as those
who are experiencing vision,
hearing, or dexterity issues;
and best cell phones for elderly
seniors who need specific
accessibility features
due to physical or cognitive
issues. Here are their top
choices based on their tests.
Apple iPhone 15 Plus:
This is a great choice if your
mom is comfortable with
technology and willing to
spend more for a top-tier
smartphone with a range
of accessibility, health, and
safety features. The 15 Plus
has an easy-to-read, large
(6.7-inch) screen and the
most robust health and safety
features, including an off -
grid SOS, a personal-safety
check, and plenty of customizable
accessibility options
that help seniors with vision
and hearing loss, as well as
with speaking and/or dexterity
problems. ($899, apple.com).
Google
Pixel 8: If your
mom has been using an Android
device and is more
comfortable with this operating
system, the Pixel 8 is a
high-end, reasonably priced
smartphone that tops their
list for older adults. It too
has a sharp, large (6.7-inch)
screen with an excellent camara
and many health, safety,
and accessibility features
that can help seniors with
vision impairment, hearing
loss, hand tremors and more.
And it costs significantly
less than the new Samsung
Galaxy and iPhone models.
($699, store.google.com).
Lively Jitterbug Smart4:
If your mom wants a simplifi
ed smartphone that’s very
affordable, she might prefer
this model. Like the Apple
15 Plus and Google Pixel
8, the Jitterbug Smart4 also
has a 6.7-inch screen, but
this phone comes with a listbased
menu (no icons) that
provides easy navigation. It
also off ers voice commands
capabilities, and a number
of health and safety services
including a 24/7 emergency
monitoring service. This
phone would also work well
for people with memory or
vision issues. ($150, lively.
com).
RAZ Mobility Memory
Cell Phone: This phone is
specifi cally designed for seniors
with memory issues or
more-advanced cognitive
decline. Its uncluttered, simple
functionality allows users
to stay in touch with family
and friends while also reducing
common problems such
as unnecessary calls to emergency
services, spam, and
fraud. It also has a dedicated
SOS link on the screen that
can alert up to three contacts;
has GPS tracking capabilities;
provides caregiver
controls and more. ($349,
razmobility.com).
Snapfon ez4G: This is
a non-smartphone if your
mom doesn’t want or need all
the functionality of a full-featured
smartphone. This simple
cell phone provides large
buttons, big screen type and
an SOS emergency button
on the back of the phone
that will alert up to fi ve preselected
contacts by call and
text. ($100, snapfon.com).

BHRC | FROM PAGE 22
step because of Congressional
inaction, today we are addressing
the immediate need
to house families, bolstering
our existing efforts to support
those who have immigrated
here in becoming part
of our workforce, and providing
a roadmap to manage this
effort over time.”
“The Senate recognized
the necessity of continuing
to proactively respond swiftly
and decisively to meet this
unprecedented humanitarian
emergency shelter crisis headon,
by not only providing the
requisite funds to address this
crisis, but also provide a longterm
framework to transition
these families out of temporary
shelters and into permanent
housing,” said Sen. Mike
Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair
of the Senate Committee on
Ways and Means. “With $250
million in emergency funding
for fiscal year 2024, we can
weather this challenge as we
develop solutions for rehousing
families, provide workforce
opportunities and integrate
these children into our
public school system.
“I voted No on the supplemental
budget because the
“Right to Shelter” law is costing
the commonwealth $3 million
a day to house, feed, protect
and educate or provide
childcare services to individuals
and families who are not
our residents,” said Sen. Ryan
Fattman (R-Sutton).
“Our emergency shelter program
was never meant to handle
the number of individuals
it is housing today and the federal
government, who has the
sole authority to handle this
immigration crisis and provide
financial relief to states,
is nowhere to be found,” said
Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield)
who also voted against the
measure. “As the demand for
the program continues at this
unsustainable rate, we simply
cannot continue to fund this
ourselves without jeopardizing
countless critical programs
that we hold dear.”
Sen. Bruce Tarr, the chief opponent
of the bill, did not respond
to repeated requests
by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking
him to explain why he voted
against it.
(A “Yes” vote is for the budget.
A “No” vote is against it.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico
Yes
RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES
MUST CONSULT WITH STATE
(S 2708)
Senate 8-31, rejected an
amendment that would require
resettlement agencies
to consult on a monthly basis
with the Governor’s Executive
Office of Housing and Livable
Communities to ascertain the
projected availability of space
in the state’s shelter system.
It also prohibits resettlement
agencies from undertaking
resettlement activity when it
is foreseeable that the shelter
system will exceed capacity.
“By directing resettlement
agencies to work more closely
with the Healey Administration,
[the amendment]
would have helped the commonwealth
better forecast its
shelter capacity and ensure
that we always have space
for those who need it most,”
said Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury)
who voted in favor of
the amendment. “I believe this
would’ve been key to ensuring
that our emergency shelter
system is not overrun and
that we can keep costs from
spiraling out of control.”
Amendment opponents
said the amendment is unnecessary
and argued the resettlement
agencies do a great
job and should not be handcuffed
and tied up with the
bureaucracy.
Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester),
the sponsor of the amendment
and Sen. Cindy Friedman
(D-Arlington) who opposed
the amendment did not respond
to repeated requests
by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking
them to explain why they voted
the way they did.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.
A “No” vote is against it.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico
No
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
LENGTH OF RESIDENCY IN
BAY STATE (S 2708)
Senate 12-27, rejected an
amendment that would require
the state take into account
an individual’s length
of residency in Massachusetts
when determining priority in
securing emergency shelter.
“While this amendment is
not a residency requirement,
it would’ve made sure those
who have demonstrated a longer
commitment to the commonwealth
are prioritized for
extended stays in the commonwealth’s
emergency shelter
system,” said Sen. Mike
Moore (D-Millbury) who voted
for the amendment. “To
be clear, there are important
exceptions to this rule –
those who are at imminent
risk of harm due to domestic
violence and those who
are making progress toward
work authorization will not
be skipped over. This strikes
me as a reasonable compromise
to ensure our emergency
shelter system is available
to Bay Staters who need it first,
while preserving the spirit of
the law that maintains Massachusetts
as a place that is welcoming
to all.”
Amendment opponents
said this would essentially
create an unfair residency requirement
that would have
Bay State residents competing
with each other for slots.
They noted there are already
reasonable provisions in the
bill which prioritize pregnant
women, victims of domestic
abuse, work status and veterans’
status.
Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester),
the sponsor of the amendment
and Sen. Mike Rodrigues
(D-Westport) who proposed
the amendment did not respond
to repeated requests
by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking
them to explain why they voted
the way they did.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment
giving preference to
length of residency. A “No” vote
is against the amendment.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico
No
CONDUCT SAFETY REVIEW
(S 2708)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment that would require
the Executive Office of
Housing and Livable Communities,
in conjunction with the
Executive Office of Public Safety
and Security, to conduct a
safety review of current safety
practices and implement recommendations
to reduce the
risk to human life and safety.
“It is essential that state run
emergency shelters and overflow
sites maintain the highest
standards of safety to protect
the families in our care,”
said amendment sponsor Sen.
Michael Moore (D-Millbury).
“I’m pleased the Senate unanimously
adopted this amendment
to require a clear and
effective safety plan at these
sites.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.)
Sen.
Sal DiDomenico

ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV)
CHARGING STATIONS IN
CONDO PARKING SPACES (H
1303) – The House gave initial
approval to a bill that would
prevent condominium associations,
neighborhood conservation
districts and historic
district commissions, from
prohibiting or unreasonably
restricting owners from installing
EV charging equipment
in or near an owner’s parking
space.
Restrictions that significantly
increase the cost of the
equipment, decrease its efficiency
or effectively prohibit
its installation would not
be permitted. The bill would
also require owners to pay the
costs of installing and maintaining
the charging equipment
and for the costs of the
electricity consumed during
charging.
“As the commonwealth
moves away from gas powered
vehicles, we are going to
need increased access to electric
vehicle charging stations,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Michelle
Ciccolo (D-Lexington). “With
40 percent of emissions coming
out of our transportation
systems, it is essential that we
make operating an electric
vehicle as seamless as owning
a gas vehicle. For that reason,
we can’t have local siting
boards prioritize aesthetics
over access to charging.”
COVID-19 REMEMBRANCE
DAY (H 2987) – The House
gave initial approval to legislation
that would designate
March 10th as COVID-19 Remembrance
Day to honor all
the people, especially older
adults and people with disabilities,
who died or were
stricken with COVID-19. The
measure also expresses appreciation
of first responders,
caregivers and researchers
who cared for victims or developed
treatments or vaccines
in response to the virus. The
measure would not take effect
until March of 2025 since
March 10th of this year has already
passed.
“I am very pleased to see action
taken toward establishing
COVID-19 Remembrance Day
which would honor those who
have been lost to or affected
by COVID,” said co-sponsor
Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville).
“It also acknowledges the essential
workers who helped us
get through the hardest times
and contributed to our commonwealth’s
recovery.”
“At the time of the pandemic,
I was the House Chair of the
Joint Committee on Elder Affairs,
and had an upfront seat,
in a sense, to the tragedy that
was unfolding especially in
our nursing homes, and to
aging adults, generally,” said
co-sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser
(D-Newton). “ I feel it is important
to remember those we
lost and to honor those who
helped keep us safe.”
REQUIRE BANKS AND OTHER
MORTGAGE LENDERS TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(H 933) – The
House gave initial approval to
a proposal that would require
banks and other mortgage
lenders to provide additional
information on a monthly basis
to their borrowers including
the balance of principal
remaining; a confirmation of
the most recent payment received;
the balance of any escrow
accounts; and a description
of any payments from
those escrow accounts.
“The intent of this legislation
is to provide mortgage
customers with the tools they
need to ensure knowledge
of their financial situation,”
said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers
(D-Quincy). “This bill is an easy
measure that we can take to
help residents achieve greater
financial stability and awareness.”
MUST
BE 21 TO ATTEND
CANNABIS EVENT (H 112) –
The House gave initial approval
to legislation that would
prohibit anyone under age
21 from attending any marijuana-related
event, forum,
convention or conference to
promote or encourage marijuana
use or to educate users
or prospective users on marijuana
use. The measure exempts
prevention programs
for youth, youth educational
programs or substance abuse
programs related to marijuana
use. Any event organizer
who violates this law would
be fined $2,000 but the fine
would not be imposed if the
organizer reasonably relied
on IDs that turned out to be
phony.
“This [existing] loophole
contradicts laws that prohibit
cannabis consumption for
people younger than 21,” said
sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane
(R-Shrewsbury). “Closing this
loophole will provide clarity
and prevent youths from
attending cannabis-related
events,”
CHANGE LANGUAGE IN
LAW THAT CREATED COUNCILS
ON AGING (H 624) –
The House gave initial approval
to legislation that would
change some language in the
50-year-old law that created
Councils on Aging in local
cities and towns. Changes include
deleting language that
refers to “problems of the aging”
and replacing it with “the
needs of older adults;” deleting
language that calls workers
“clerks” and replacing it
with language that calls workers
“staff;” and adding “and delivering
services” to the language
in the bill which gives
the council the authority to
“carry out programs.”
Supporters said the bill
modernizes the language in
a 50-year-old law that created
Councils on Aging at a time
when there were very few senior
centers. They noted that
the number of Councils on
Aging and senior centers has
grown to 350 and said the bill
updates the statute to reflect
the modern functioning of
these critical centers.
Sponsor Rep. Kate Donaghue
(D-Westborough) said
she is thrilled that the bill received
initial approval. “I filed
this bill because senior cenBHRC

ters are integral parts of each
community, serving as a resource
for every older adult
and providing comprehensive
programming and services
to support the needs of
the growing number of older
adults across the commonwealth,”
said Donaghue.
FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS
(H 563) – The House
gave initial approval to a proposal
that would require all
public schools, with grades
6-12 students, to maintain
free menstrual products, including
sanitary napkins and
tampons in restrooms and to
make them available in a “convenient
manner that does not
stigmatize any persons seeking
the products.”
“Requiring schools to provide
free menstrual products
will not only reduce distractions
throughout the day but
will also reduce embarrassment
by guaranteeing that
essential health items are
readily available when needed,”
said sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy
(D-Franklin). “Such access ensures
that students can attend
classes and participate in extracurricular
activities without
interruption. Toilet paper
and paper towels are available
free of charge at high schools
and middle schools and menstrual
products are no less essential
to a student’s wellbeing.
No student should face
any barrier, financial or otherwise,
to accessing basic health
essentials.”
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“Things are different than
they were the last time I was
here. Last time I was here, we
had money. I could be a hero.”
---House Speaker Ron Mariano
(D-Quincy) at the beginning of his speech
to members of the Greater Boston Chamber
of Commerce.
“Now, I understand that the
idea of a transfer fee is a cause
for concern for some of you,
but if you believe that the issue
of housing affordability
is a genuine crisis, then we
must explore all options that
have the potential to make a
real difference. I look forward
to having continued conversations
with members, and
with the business community,
on how we can bolster the
development of more affordable
housing, while ensuring
that Massachusetts remains
competitive.”
---House Speaker Mariano commenting
on being open to a local-option real estate
transfer tax to boost the affordable housing
supply.
“The speaker is the latest politician
floating the idea of further
tax hikes that will only exacerbate
the problem it is trying
to fix. If the speaker is concerned
with the cost of housing,
he should provide property
tax relief. If the speaker
wants to help make Massachusetts
more economically competitive,
he needs to change
his mindset away from harmful
tax hikes and spending sprees
and look to what the top two
destinations for people leaving
Massachusetts—Florida
and New Hampshire—are doing,
namely cutting taxes to attract
taxpayers.”
---Paul Craney, spokesman for the
Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, on Mariano’s
openness to a local-option real estate
transfer tax.
“It is my great pleasure to
donate these men’s and women’s
suits and dress clothes on
behalf of the residents of Norfolk
County. I hope that by
partnering with the Office of
Youth Employment and Opportunity,
we can help to eliminate
some of the barriers for
young job seekers, empowering
them to present themselves
confidently in interviews.”
---Norfolk
County Register of Deeds
William O’Donnell announcing the success
of an initiative to help individuals just
starting out on the road to finding a job,
noting the high price of a suit can be
an insurmountable obstacle, and it can
represent a missed opportunity.
“While alarming, today’s
warning issued by the Department
of Public Health is
not a surprise. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS)
have already contaminated
public water systems in 96 cities
and towns in Massachusetts.
These chemicals are incredibly
harmful, increasing
the risk of cancers, liver disease
and more.”
---Deirdre Cummings, MASSPIRG’s
Legislative Director, reacting to the
Massachusetts Department of Public Health
advisory urging consumers not to consume
Simpson Spring products until further notice,
after PFAS contamination exceeding drinking
water standards was found in water bottled
distributed by the company.
HOW LONG WAS LAST
WEEK’S SESSION?
Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks
the length of time that the
House and Senate were in
session each week. Many legislators
say that legislative
sessions are only one aspect
of the Legislature’s job and
that a lot of important work
is done outside of the House
and Senate chambers. They
note that their jobs also involve
committee work, research,
constituent work and
other matters that are important
to their districts. Critics
say that the Legislature does
not meet regularly or long
enough to debate and vote
in public view on the thousands
of pieces of legislation
that have been filed. 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.

18-22, the House met for a toBHRC
