The plan includes 50 on-site parking spaces, most of which will be under the building. Rick Salvo, engineer for the project, also presented plans on how Zepaj plans to ensure no stormwater or drainage from the building will impact the wetland buff er zone. The parcel at 344 Salem St. is a half-moon of land with the buff er zone at the tip of the rear end of the property. There is a vacant garage on the site. Attorney Nancy O'Neil, who represents Zepaj, said an apartment building would be a more environmentally friendly use of the site and it fi ts in the neighborhood which has a large condo complex nearby. The committee issued a list of special conditions which included notifying the city if any soil tests reveal a need for remediation and the disposal of construction debris that now litters the site. During a Zoning Board of Appeals hearing when Zepaj requested seven variances from dimensional controls, neighbors came out to voice concerns about water pressure and neighborhood continuity, but there was no one who spoke for or against the project at the conservation committee hearing except for committee member Nick Rudolph. "It's a drastic improvement from what it was," Rudolph told Zepaj and his team.

(Photo courtesy of RHS Track/Twitter) vere T.I.E.S., The Islamic Education School, a full-time private school plans to open its doors this fall in the cable building at 41 Marble Street. The School Committee voted unanimously to approve the new school after a presentation by T.I.E.S. School administrators at the committee’s meeting this week. For the fi rst year, the TIES school will offer Kindergarten through grade 2 classes. The hope is to grow and add an additional grade next year. The Revere T.I.E.S. School is being established under the umbrella of the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects a global non-profi t organization which supports schools and Saturday programs throughout the country. According to the AICP, website, T.I.E.S. schools were established to “resolve the dilemma of concerned Muslim parents looking to provide their children with a strong academic background and protect them from the public-school environment in which Muslim children might be exposed to influences seriously threatening their proper moral development.†Although student registration has not started, T.I.E.S. administrators are expecting to enroll 30 to 50 students. The school, which will be supported through student tuition which is expected to be about $6,000 to $7,000, is open to all students not just Revere residents. The T.IE.S. Revere School mirrors Revere Public schools with standard-based Massachusetts curriculum, assessments, and school schedules. T.I.E.S. administrators stressed they hope to be part of the Revere School network. Like other teachers at private, religious schools, teachers at the T.I.E.S. School are not required to be certifi ed. T.I.E.S. will have their own criteria and standards for teachers which includes advanced degrees and teaching experience. T.I.E.S. administrators said the most important objective of their school is to spread correct knowledge of Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims. But just as important is to provide an excellent secular education to students to help them become honorable representatives of the Islamic community. $3.95 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

Kelly then turned the school committee meeting over to Revere High Principal Chris Bowen to explain the accreditation process. Accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges is a voluntary evaluation process that ensures schools are meeting basic standards and have plans and strategies for progress and improvement. Bowen explained in the past, accreditation occurred about every 10 years and involved a visit to a school and a review of mateWARMING | FROM Page 4 is unsheltered. We’re not opening the fl oodgates here. It’s to show that we do care about everybody. [Homelessness] is a crisis the country is facing.†However, many Revere seniors have been telling the City Council they believe the senior center is not the right location, citing real COVID fears. Many seniors seem dead set against this idea. According to city offi cials, the senior center will not be impacted by the warming center which will be open from 7:00 PM until 7:00 AM. Those in the warming center will not have access to the senior center. The City says the warming center will be managed and staff ed by a non-profi t and just 15 guests will be allowed in per night. According to City Hall, the center will not be a shelter and it will not have beds or serve food. If the hours are 7:00 PM until 7:00 AM, what do city offi cials think those sheltering themselves will be doing for those 12 rors the teacher evaluation process we use. There’s the self-assessment phase, the goal setting phase, the formative assessment and the summative assessment which is the formal assessment,†said Bowen. Revere High has gone through the self-evaluation phase which was done primarily by faculty with input from administrators, students, parents. Five priority areas were identifi ed for Revere High during the self-study phase. The next step includes a visit from a NEASC team which is a group of trained volunteer professionals from similar schools who evaluate a school’s goals to ensure they are aligned with NEASC. hours? Will they stay up all night watching television? I see them sleeping up there, don’t you? They will also get hungry – I see food up there, too. The warming center is either a shelter or it’s not. What happens when the sixteenth guest arrives at the door? No wonder the elderly is skeptical, they’ve seen this show before. In closing, I am still not sure what to make about that letter in last week’s Revere Advocate about cobra snakes (Letter-tothe-Editor) taking over the senior center. We have enough to worry about without fearing a snake conspiracy theory, too. It would be nice if people could believe what they are being told but the senior population of Revere aren’t living in fantasyland. Can you really trust what politicians say? The trust is long gone now. Actions speak louder than words. It will be up to the seniors who use their senior center to hold the feet of our politicians to the fi re. They work for you, not the other way around. During the upcoming NEASC visit, Revere High School will be offered recommendations for improvement. The school will then have the next six years to improve and meet those goals. Bowen was asked about Revere’s priority areas which seemed focused heavily on safety. “When we think about safety, we’re talking broadly about all sorts of safety. There is physical safety obviously, the security of the building, but in addition there’s bigger picture kinds of stuff . Do students feel comfortable in classes having challenging conversations with people who are diff erent than them. The criteria NEASC uses to defi ne safety is that all stakeholders provide a safe, positive, respectful and inclusive culture that ensures equity and honors diversity in identity and thought.

The Patriots trailed by just two, 22-20, at the half and outscored the Tornadoes 14-9 in the third period to pull in WIN | SEE Page 15 Patriot girls lose close battle to Tide By Greg Phipps W ith his squad on a solid streak, having won three of its previous four games, head coach Chris Porrazzo and the Revere High School girls’ basketball team gave the neighboring rival Everett Crimson Tide all they could handle on Tuesday at home. The Patriots got a super 20-plus point eff ort from Shayna Smith but they fell just short by a close 49-47 margin in a Greater Boston League (GBL) tussle. Revere led 44-41 on a Lea Doucette basket with just under four minutes left of the fi nal quarter. But Everett would outscore the Patriots 8-3 the rest of the way to come away the victor. Revere still held a 47-46 edge with about 40 seconds remaining before the Tide tacked on the fi nal three points. Tuesday’s performance was a clear sign of progress for Revere, which lost by an 18-point spread at Everett in the season opener back in December. Smith netted 23 points to go along with seven rebounds in the loss. Center Belma Velic was also a force, pouring in 14 points while hauling down four rebounds and dishing out three assists. Porrazzo said before Tuesday’s contest that “the second time through our schedule we want to show teams how much we have improved. Everett is our fi rst chance to prove it.†The Patriots, now 4-7 overall on the season (4-4 in the league) win, seem to have accomplished that goal with Tuesday’s eff ort. The next challenge for Revere took place Thursday when they hosted Somerville in another GBL tilt. The Patriots then travel to face Winthrop on Friday and host Lynn Classical next Tuesday. The Patriots will have a chance to show their improvement against the Rams, who beat them by 23 back on Dec. 20 at Classical. Revere’s fourth victory of the season came against league foe Malden last Thursday. Once again, Smith and Velic were the mainstays off ensively, as Smith notched 15 points and grabbed nine boards.

PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE TAX CREDIT he pre-2023 qualifi ed plugin electric drive motor vehicle tax credit is $2,500, plus $417 for a vehicle that draws propulsion energy from a battery with not less than fi ve kilowatt hours of capacity, and an additional $417 for each kilowatt hour of battery capacity in excess of fi ve kilowatt hours. The additional amount cannot exceed $5,000, resulting in a maximum tax credit for 2022 in the amount of $7,500. The tax credit begins to be phased out for a manufacturer that sells 200,000 qualifi ed vehicles for use in the United States. A new qualifi ed plug-in electric drive vehicle is a motor vehicle: 1. Made by a manufacturer 2. Acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer and not for resale 3. The original use of which commences with the taxpayer 4. Treated as a motor vehicle for purposes of Title II of the Clean Air Act 5. Has a gross vehicle weight rating of not more than 14,000 pounds; and 6. Is propelled to a significant degree by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery with a capacity of not less than four kilowatt hours and is capable of being recharged from an external source. The vehicle must be used primarily in the United States. For purchases after August 16, 2022, the fi nal assembly of the vehicle generally must have taken place in North America. For a qualified vehicle placed in service after 2022 and before 2033, the credit is renamed and is now called the Clean Vehicle Credit. The maxT imum amount of the credit is still $7,500, but it has two components. A $3,750 credit if the vehicle satisfi es domestic content requirements for critical minerals in the battery, plus a $3,750 credit if the vehicle satisfi es domestic content requirements for battery components. This tax credit is not allowed if a taxpayer’s modifi ed adjusted gross income exceeds $300,000 for a married fi ling joint return, $225,000 if filing as head of household and $150,000 is fi ling as single or married fi ling separate, or if the MSRP for the vehicle exceeds $80,000 for a van, SUV or pick-up truck, or $55,000 for any other vehicle. Since electric vehicles are generally more expensive than combustion engine vehicles, this tax credit is essential to help bring down the cost. It is still very diffi cult to predict over the long run whether or not it will be more costly to operate an electric vehicle versus a combustion engine vehicle. It will simply depend on the cost of electricity versus the cost of gasoline. How long an electric vehicle battery will last and the cost to replace it will be another issue to contend with down the line. Joseph D.

For many people, major life changes, business ownership or simply a lack of knowledge about the everchanging tax laws make fi nding a trustworthy tax preparer a good idea. That said, not all tax preparers have the same level of experience and training. Here are tips for fi nding someone you can trust with your fi nances and sensitive personal information. Which type of tax preparer is right for you? First, it’s important to understand the diff erent types of tax preparers and their qualifications. Only enrolled agents, certifi ed public accounts, and attorneys may represent their clients to the IRS on matters such as audits, collection issues, and appeals. Enrolled Agent (EA): An EA is a tax preparer who has been approved by the IRS to represent taxpayers. An EA must either have prior qualifying employment with the IRS or pass an intensive two-day exam on federal taxation and complete a background check. To maintain EA status, they must complete a specified number of credit hours each year of continuing education in accounting methods and tax regulations. An EA may work independently or as part of a fi rm and specialize in specifi c areas of tax law. An EA is a good option if you have a more complex tax situation. However, you’ll want to make sure their area of expertise applies to your personal situation. Fees and availability might vary, but you can expect an EA to charge less than a CPA. An EA is also qualifi ed to help you with fi nancial planning and give you tips that could help you reduce your taxes in the future. Certifi ed Public Accountant (CPA): CPAs have a college degree (or the equivalent in work experience). They are licensed after passing a state professional qualifying exam. They are highly skilled in accounting. This makes them good candidates for complex tax planning and preparation if they are experienced in handling tax matters and enrolled in continuing education programs that keep them abreast of the constant changes to tax laws. If your return is quite complex, a CPA might be your best choice for tax preparation, but keep in mind that they will charge much more than basic tax preparers. Attorneys: Tax attorneys often charge the highest fees as tax preparers. For taxpayers looking to shelter part of their income legally or for those who need specialized advice on municipal bonds, estate planning and the like, hiring a tax attorney is a good option. Non-credentialed tax preparers: There are about 700,000 people who work as non-credentialed tax preparers in the United States. They often work part-time or only during the tax season. These preparers must have an active preparer tax identification number (PTIN) through the IRS, but beyond that, regulating tax preparers is done at the state level. In the vast majority of states, anyone can prepare tax returns for others without having to take an exam, get a license or comply with other government regulations. Learn more about your state’s requirements here: https://www.crosslinktax. com/#.Xjw7fRNKg6g. Read more about “ghost tax preparers†here: https://www.bbb.org/article/ news-releases/19493-bbb-tipavoid-being-ghosted-by-yourtax-preparer. Most tax preparers are legitimate and competent, but keep in mind that without a national license requirement, they might be working off of their own personal research and experience. Because of this, it is important you conduct a thorough interview with the tax preparer before you hire them. How to choose the right tax preparer: When it comes to choosing the right kind of tax preparer for you personally, much will depend on the complexity of your tax situation. After you’ve decided what qualifi - cations your tax preparer needs, the following tips will help you choose someone who is trustworthy and competent: • Review the tax preparer’s credentials. EAs, CPAs and tax attorneys are all qualifi ed to represent their clients to the IRS on all matters. Other preparers can help you with forms and basic matters but cannot represent you in case of an audit. Don’t be For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspaperscall The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net afraid to ask about these or other qualifi cations before you hire someone. • Be wary of spectacular promises. If a tax preparer promises you larger refunds than the competition, this is a red fl ag. Many such tax preparers base their fees on the amount of your return and may be likely to use shady tax preparation tactics. In addition, it’s wise to avoid tax preparers who off er “refund anticipation loans,†as you’ll probably lose a large percentage of your return to commission fees. • Get referrals from friends and family. One of the best ways to fi nd a trustworthy tax preparer is to ask your loved ones for recommendations. Once you have a few options, check BBB.org, paying careful attention to other consumers’ reviews or complaint details. This will give you a clear view of what you can expect. • Think about availability. If the IRS fi nds errors in your tax forms or decides to perform an audit, will your tax preparer be available to help you with the details? Find out whether you can contact the tax preparer all year long or only during tax season. • Ask about fees ahead of time. Before you agree to any services, read the contracts carefully and understand how much the tax preparer charges for their services. Ask about extra fees for e-fi ling state, federal and local returns, as well as fees for any unexpected complications. • If things don’t add up, find someone else. If a tax preparer can’t verify their credentials, has a record of bad reviews from previous clients, or their business practices don’t seem convincing, don’t do business with them. Remember that if you hire them, this individual will handle your sensitive personal information – information you need to keep safe from corrupt or fraudulent tax preparers.

However, under House and Senate rules, bills fi led after January 20 can still be admitted to the Legislature following the deadline if the Legislature agrees to admit it by a four-fi fths vote of the members of the branch where the bill is introduced. Massachusetts is one of a handful of states that give citizens the “right of free petitionâ€â€”the power to propose their own legislation. A citizen’s proposal can be fi led in conjunction with his or her representative or senator or any other representative or senator from another district. Sometimes a legislator will support the legislation and sponsor it along with the constituent. Other times, a legislator might disagree with the bill but will fi le it anyway as a courtesy. In those cases, the bill is listed as being fi led “by requestâ€â€”indicating that the legislator is doing so at the request of the constituent and does not necessarily support it. Citizens that are interested in fi ling legislation should contact their own or any other representative or senator. The legislator will likely help you draft the language of the bill. Perhaps one of the most famous bills fi led “by request†goes all the way back to 1969 when a constituent opposed to the Vietnam War asked the late Newton Democratic Rep. James Shea to fi le a bill prohibiting Massachusetts citizens from being forced to fi ght in an “undeclared war.†The bill challenged the constitutionality of sending Bay State men to fi ght without a Congressional declaration of war. It was approved by the House and Senate Your Hometown News Delivered!

In a tragic footnote, Rep. Shea committed suicide in the fall of the year the legislation passed. ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL FOOD INSECURITY EVENT - As the costs for basic necessities rise, more Massachusetts residents living on the economic margins must choose between buying groceries and paying for housing, transportation, childcare and other basic utilities. It’s a dilemma that plays out in hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts households every day. Hunger and access to proper nutrition remain pervasive, with nearly 1 in 3 adults experiencing food insecurity in Massachusetts in 2021. Join a State House News Service/MASSterList forum featuring leaders, advocates, and experts for a discussion of opportunities and obstacles for Massachusetts to stem food insecurity. The event is at Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) in Boston’s Downtown Crossing at 10 Winter Place, Suite #4751 at 8:15 a.m. on Wednesday, January 25. U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern will provide keynote remarks. All ticket proceeds benefi t The Greater Boston Food Bank. Tickets are available at MASSterList.com/ending-hunger-in-massachusetts/ WRAPPING UP THE 2022 SESSION – Before the 2022 session ended on January 3, the House and Senate acted on several bills including: REVENGE PORN (H 4498, S 3167) – The House and Senate approved diff erent versions of 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 died in the House when the House did not take action on the Senate version of the legislation. 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 be required to register with the Sex Off ender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. Supporters say that currently law enforcement are faced with either charging off enders with a felony or doing nothing. They note the bill provides a middle ground that will allow law enforcement to sentence kids to a diversion program to educate them about the consequences of their actions without ruining their lives and giving them a criminal record. Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton), the Senate chair of the Judiciary Committee, did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking how he felt about the measure dying in the House. “Rep. Roy is on an overseas trade mission so I am unable to provide a quote for you,†responded a spokesman for the bill’s sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). The spokesman did say that Roy plans to refi le the bill in the 2023-2024 session. DEATH OF A CHILD UNDER 2 (H 5422) – The House and Senate both approved a bill that would require that the autopsy report for a child under the age of two be reviewed and approved by the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death. Changes to the autopsy report would also have to be reviewed and approved by the Chief Medical Examiner. The bill needed a fi nal round of approval by the House and Senate before going to the governor’s desk but neither branch acted upon it and the bill died. Supporters said the measure addresses recent cases in which the Chief Medical Examiner’s office changed the cause of death for deaths of children under two, creating serious implications for ongoing court cases and for the families of those children. They noted that the most experienced person in the offi ce should provide oversight to what are typically junior medical examiners without pediatric autopsy experience. They argued this will provide more confi - dence and peace of mind for families who have tragically lost infants. Sponsor of the bill Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge) did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking how she felt about her measure dying, not reaching the governor’s desk and whether she will refi le the bill for the 2023-2024 session. FOSTER PARENTS (S 2954) – The House and Senate approved and former-Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a bill establishing a foster parents’ bill of rights, which will govern the Department of Children and Families’ (DCF) relationship with, and responsibilities to foster parents, and would be publicly available on the department’s website. Provisions include requiring foster parents to be treated with dignity, respect, privacy and consideration; prohibiting foster parents from being discriminated against on the basis of religion, race, color, creed, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age or disability; requiring the department to give the foster parents information about the foster child, prior to placement, including the child’s physical and behavioral health history, any history of trauma or high-risk behavior and his or her education needs. Another provision requires DCF to provide a current foster parent, with the permission of the previous foster parent, the name and phone number of the previous foster parent if DCF determines that contact between the current foster parent and previous foster parent would promote the foster child’s best interest. “I am thrilled that the House and Senate passed the Foster Parents Bill of Rights legislation,†said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (DNorthampton). “Foster parents are true unsung heroes, providing unmatched dedication, commitment, compassion and love to those who need it the most. This bill creates a framework for foster parents to be honored with dignity, respect, privacy and consideration in caring for children, so they can provide nurturing, loving homes. As a foster parent myself, I fi led this bill to strengthen our vital foster care system.†INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER (H 3147) – The House and Senate approved, and former-Gov. Baker signed into law, a bill that would establish the second Tuesday of every October as “Inflammatory Breast Cancer Awareness Day†in the Bay State. “This designation will go a long way to increase awareness and strengthen eff orts to provide education about this rare and aggressive disease,†said sponsor Rep. Sean Garballey (D-Arlington). “Infl ammatory Breast Cancer is the most aggressive form of breast cancer and the least understood. Many women receiving this diagnosis have never heard of Infl ammatory Breast Cancer or its presentation. Infl ammatory Breast Cancer accounts for 1 percent to 5 percent of all breast cancer cases yet represents 10 percent of all deaths due to breast cancer.†RIGHT WHALE DAY (H 3869) – The House and Senate approved and former Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that designates April 24 as Right Whale Day to promote the preservation of the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. “The North Atlantic right whale is part of our rich maritime history and yet our offi cial state marine mammal is at risk of extinction,†said sponsor Rep. Josh Cutler (DDuxbury). “Establishing this annual day to celebrate right whales will help promote education and protection eff orts.†Rep. Cutler credited his constituent Matt Delaney of Pembroke for coming up with this idea.

The Biden Administration’s debt cancellation plan will help prevent student loan borrowers from needlessly suffering even more pandemic-related economic harm, including the devastating cascade of harms that follow from default. We are calling on the Supreme Court to uphold the Secretary’s authority to provide much-needed relief to people across the country who have been aff ected by this unprecedented pandemic.†---Acting Massachusetts Attorney General Elizabeth “Bessie†Dewar, on joining 21 other state attorneys general in submitting a 48-page brief to the nation’s high court, arguing that the Biden administration operated within the limits of its power when it moved last year to cancel up to $10,000 of student loan debt per person eligible borrowers and up to $20,000 for those who received Pell Grants. “The governor has committed to electrifying the public fl eet and will be evaluating the best methods and timeline for that transition.†---Gov. Maura Healey’s press secretary Karissa Hand when asked why Gov. Healey is still being driven by state police in a 17 to 20 mileper- gallon Ford Expedition that she used as attorney general. “There’s a reason that people are paying so much in heating bills and electric bills. It’s because we’ve been hostage to the fossil fuel industry for so long.†---Gov. Healey. “We thought it was important for this, the fi rst meeting, that it just be a meeting among the four of us.

Kim Driscoll met with Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano and did not include Senate and House Republican Minority Leaders Sen. Bruce Tarr and Rep. Brad Jones. Former Gov. Baker included the two minority leaders in the group’s semi-weekly meetings. “Regular, bipartisan leadership meetings have been one of the distinguishing hallmarks of a state government that operates in a collaborative way, with eff ective communication between its leaders. They have served us well during very challenging times and are as important now as ever. We look forward to the continuation of these conversations, which are powerful in symbol and substance, and to taking part in them as before. We stand ready to do whatever is necessary to facilitate that continuity.†---Tarr and Jones in a joint statement in response to being left out of the meeting. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of January 9-13, the House met for a total nine minutes and the Senate met for a total of 17 minutes. Mon. Jan. 9 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:07 a.m. Senate 11:09 a.m. to 11:25 a.m. Tues. Jan. 10 No House session No Senate session Wed. Jan. 11 No House session No Senate session Thurs. Jan. 12 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:07 a.m. Senate 11:19 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Fri. Jan. 13 No House session No Senate session Bob Katzen welcomes feedback at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com Bob founded Beacon Hill Roll Call in 1975 and was inducted into the New England Newspaper and Press Association (NENPA) Hall of Fame in 2019. When Can I Change My Medicare Coverage? Dear Savvy Senior, Is it possible to make changes to my Medicare coverage now? I know we’ve passed the fall open enrollment period, but I’ve heard that there are other times of the year benefi ciaries can make changes. What can you tell me? Changed My Mind Dear Changed, Yes! The annual Medicare open enrollment period isn’t your only opportunity to swap out Medicare coverage. There are other opportunities, but the timing of when you can make those changes depends on your specifi c circumstances and the kind of Medicare coverage you have. Here’s what you should know. Medicare Advantage Change If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you may be able to use the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period, which occurs each year from Jan. 1 through March 31. During this period, you can switch from your current Medicare Advantage Plan to another Medicare Advantage Plan or to original Medicare with or without a prescription drug plan. You can only make one change during this period, and it will be eff ective the fi rst of the next month after you make the change. Special Enrollment Depending on your circumstances, you may also qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to change your Medicare health and drug coverage. There are a number of circumstances in which you may have a Special Enrollment Period, such as if you moved outside of your plan’s service area, your Medicare Advantage Plan terminated a significant amount of its network providers, or you are enrolled in a State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program. Those with Extra Help – the federal program that helps pay for drug costs – also have a Special Enrollment Period to enroll in a Part D plan, or switch between plans once per quarter in the fi rst three quarters of the year. If you need to make changes to your coverage but aren’t sure whether you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free Medicare counseling. To fi nd a SHIP counselor in your area visit ShipHelp.org or call 877839-2675. Also, be aware that if you’re enrolled in a Medicare plan by mistake or because of misleading information, you may be able to disenroll and change plans. Typically, you have the right to change plans if you joined unintentionally, joined based on incorrect or misleading information, or, through no fault of your own, were kept in a plan you did not want. To get help, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and explain to a customer service representative how you joined the plan by mistake and to request retroactive disenrollment or a Special Enrollment Period. Fall Open Enrollment As you noted in your question, there’s also the Fall Open Enrollment Period that allows all Medicare benefi ciaries – those with original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans – to make changes. The Fall Open Enrollment Period occurs each year from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. During this period, you can join a new Medicare Advantage Plan or stand-alone prescription drug plan (Part D) plan. You can also switch between Original Medicare with or without a Part D plan and Medicare Advantage. You can make as many changes as you need during this period, and your last coverage choice will take effect Jan. 1. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

A Trike Called Funk, a Better Beaches grantee, used their funds to perform at events on multiple beaches and host their own event series: Bike to the Beach and Boogie. “None of this would have been possible had it not been for the support of Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and the Better Beaches initiative,†said A Trike Called Funk Cofounder A.a.Ron Myers. “We are happy to amplify Save the Harbor and celebrate what they’re doing to bring people together and to appreciate, but also become stewards of, these beautiful blue and green spaces in and around Boston.†ported last year can be found in Save the Harbor’s 2023 Impact Report, which is available at https://www.savetheharbor. org/publications. You can apply for a Better Beaches grant at https://www. Everett, MA 617-202-8259 * We work with most Fuel Assistance programs “We’re accepting new customers, no experience necessary†“Aceptamos Nuevos clientes no se necesita experiencia.†~ Hablamos Española ~ 50 Gallon Minimum (Surcharge Applys) Major Credit Cards Accepted Scan our QR Code savetheharbor.org/better-beaches. You will be notifi ed of the result of your application in April. If you have any questions about the Better Beaches Program, please contact Maya Smith at smith@savetheharbor.org. Funds to support the program have come from DCR, the Baker/Polito Administration and the Harpoon Shamrock Splash, which will take place on March 12, 2023. To register for the Splash, visit https://savetheharbor.securesweet.com/ default.asp. Save the Harbor’s success would not be possible without its program partners and event sponsors, including Arctic Chill, FMC Ice Sports, Bay State Cruise Company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Blue Sky Collaborative, Boston & Maine Webcams, The Boston Foundation, BostonHarbor.com, Boston Properties, Coast Cannabis, The Coca-Cola Foundation, Comcast, Cronin Group, Constellation Generation, Comcast Foundation, The Daily Catch, DCR, Eastern Salt Company, Inc., Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs, Harpoon, IR+M Charitable Fund, JetBlue, John Hancock Financial Services, Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, Massport, P&G Gillette, Mix 104.1, National Grid and the Richard Saltonstall Charitable Foundation. In addition, Save the Harbor recognizes the Metropolitan Beaches Commission Co-Chairs – Senator Brendan Crighton of Lynn and Representative Adrian Madaro of East Boston – and the legislative and community members of the Commission as well as Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano for their support for our beaches and our communities. Save the Harbor also thanks the Baker-Polito Administration, the Massachusetts Legislature, Save the Harbor’s partners at DCR, the Boston Centers for Youth & Families, the YMCA of Greater Boston and the hundreds of people who take part in the Shamrock Splash for their support. SURVEY | FROM Page 3 particularly when there have been changes. “I think maybe every household should get a notice where and when they vote on elections coming up. It may be costly but worth it in the end. Too much is at stake right now.,†said one Revere resident. Another complaint left by several diff erent voters focused on allowing candidates to mill around the entrance of polling places. In Massachusetts, candidates and their sign-holding supporters must be 150 from the entrance of polls. One respondent, who claimed to be a former candidate, leveled a more serious complaint against the city’s election division. “As a former candidate of color, the racism I faced from the past election commissioner and her implicit bias was unacceptable, and I know it is this continued implicit bias from the election department that has kept many people of color from running for offi ce,†read that comment. But other residents said voting in Revere worked well and they experienced no problems on election day. “Generally, polling is quite good in my experience in this city. Quick and easy,†wrote one voter. The election Department page on the city’s website is loaded with information to answer most questions about polls, political parties, ballot questions, election results and links for forms for absentee ballots in English and Spanish, and poll worker job applications. And for those who can’t fi nd what they need there are phone numbers.
