verett Supply and True Value
Hardware has stood the
test of time and is now the only
independent hardware store
left in the city.
Owner Alfred Lattanzi said
his parents, Mary and Babe,
opened the store in the fall of
1950.
“September is our 72nd anniversary,”
he said.
After working in engineering
for 10 years at Boston’s Prudential
Center, Lattanzi’s parents
asked him to come work at the
hardware store.
“I came into the business in
1976 and never left,” he said.
“Once I got into the business,
I never wanted to leave. I like
helping people, I enjoy that.”
At that time, Lattanzi said,
there were 10 other hardware
stores in the city including
Glendale Hardware, Twin City
Supply, Central Hardware as
well as Everett Home and Auto.
In 1984, Lattanzi selected
True Value as the store’s buying
group, which has allowed
him to do business with some
of the largest hardware manufacturers
in the country.
“In order to survive, you need
to be with a buying group,” he
said, adding that Everett Supply
has also partnered with California
Paints and U-Haul.
Then Home Depot opened in
1989 and created a major challenge
for the smaller stores.
“Home Depot decimated
the hardware business,” said
Lattanzi.
However, as the other stores
fell victim to the home improvement
giant, Everett Supply
remained open.
“We were stubborn about it;
we decided we wanted to stay,”
said Lattanzi. “I’m the last independent
hardware store in Everett.
I’m the only one left, everyone
else is gone.”
In 2019, Lattanzi reached out
to various developers to discuss
the prospect of expanding.
During
the past three years,
Lattanzi formed the idea of a
mixed-use development. The
proposal calls for 16 apartments
to be built above the
two existing commercial buildings
at 403 Main St. The apartments
would be divided into
three stories with a pair of
two-bedroom units on the
top fl oor. The other two fl oors
would house the remaining
14 one-bedroom units. Lattanzi
said he also plans to have a
parking garage in the rear of
the property.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 25, 2022
Everett Bank to become publicly traded
By Christopher Roberson
C
iting the need to bolster
its commercial real estate
portfolio, Everett Bank recently
announced its intention to
become a publicly traded fi -
nancial institution. The conversion
must be approved by Massachusetts
Banks Commissioner
Mary Gallagher, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation,
the Federal Reserve System
and the bank’s depositors.
According to the 217-page
prospectus that Everett Bank
fi led on March 10 with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission,
the bank is planning
to enhance its retail operations
as well as its commercial real
estate business. “We generally
have not held any loan or portion
of a loan we originated in
excess of $8.4 million,” bank offi
cials said in the prospectus.
“With the increase in capital resulting
from the conversion, we
will be able to selectively retain
larger loans that we historically
would have originated for participation
with other local institutions.
In this regard, we will
be revising our lending policies
and loans to one borrower limitations
to increase our lending
limits and the type and size of
loans we choose to portfolio.”
The conversion will also allow
the bank to offer stockbased
benefi t plans to its employees.
In
addition, ECB Bancorp, Inc.
will be established as the parent
company of Everett Bank
and will be listed as ECBK on
the NASDAQ.
Founded in 1890, Everett
Bank now boasts $666 million
in assets. In addition to its location
in Everett Square, the bank
has an offi ce on Route 1 in Lynnfi
eld. According to the prospectus,
Everett Bank reported
a net income of $4 million
in 2021 as well as $571 million
in deposits and $517 million in
net loans.
Since 2016, Everett Bank has
been under the guidance of
President & CEO Richard O’Neil
Jr., Esq. Prior to becoming President
& CEO, O’Neil served as the
bank’s outside general counsel.
He has also been on the Board
of Directors since 1997.
In 2019, John Citrano was
hired as the bank’s CFO, executive
vice president and COO.
Citrano has been in banking
for more than three decades,
having spent a number of
those years with Belmont Savings
Bank.
Most recently, Everett Bank
announced the hiring of Cary
Lynch as senior vice president
of retail operations. Prior to
joining the bank, Lynch was the
director of retail sales at Century
Bank.
John Migliozzi also came on
board earlier this year as the
head of commercial banking
and mortgage. In addition to
having more than 25 years of
experience in the fi nancial industry,
Migliozzi was a senior
lender at East Boston Savings
Bank.

to fostering change locally and
globally. Sponsored by Campus
Compact, a Boston-based,
nonprofit national coalition,
this prestigious opportunity allows
students to participate in
virtual training and networking
experiences that emphasize
personal, professional and
civic growth.
“Desiree is a valued member
of the Stonehill community.
She is eager to off er her presence,
ideas and talents to support
her peers and will undeniably
be a source of light and
hope in all her endeavors,” said
Stonehill College President
John Denning.
Over the last few years, Ruiz
Ramoz, who is double majoring
in Psychology and English,
has made a lasting impact on
campus. She has been involved
in the H.O.P.E. Service Immersion
Program since coming to
Stonehill, fi rst as a participant,
then as an immersion leader
and now as an intern responsible
for helping shepherd the
program. Ruiz Ramoz is also
president of Students Outreach
for Refugees, Asylees, & Immigrants
(SORAI) at Stonehill.
Additionally, she is a mentor
in BACES Mentoring Program
(Black, Indigenous and People
of Color Achieving Connection
& Empowerment at Stonehill).
In her Newman Civic Fellowship
application, Ruiz Ramoz,
a first-generation Guatemalan-American,
wrote about her
desire to help women of color
gain access to opportunities
that will allow them to fl ourish
personally and professionally.
“My hope is that my mark in
this world is not the last because
it sure wasn’t the fi rst,”
she said. “But that my mark inspires
others to want to continue
to see and act towards social
justice in all aspects.”
A proposal is currently before the Zoning Board of Appeals to allow the construction of 16
apartments above the property at 403 Main St.
EVERETT SUPPLY | FROM PAGE 1
However, the Zoning Board
of Appeals has determined
that the hardware store and
the adjacent building, where
Lattanzi’s offi ce is located, are
non-conforming structures.
Therefore, he will need a Special
Permit in order to move
forward with the project.
“Hopefully, I can start this
project in a timely manner,”
he said.
He also highlighted the advantages
of his Main Street location.
“It’s
a nice little area,” said
Lattanzi, adding that restaurants,
shopping and public
transportation are all easily
accessible. “I’ve got a great
location; I’m going to design
and build some really interesting
stuff .”
In addition, Lattanzi said his
home on Peirce Avenue is only
500 yards from Everett Supply.
“My family has been in this
neighborhood for 115 years,”
he said. “I’m not going anywhere.”
Alfred
Lattanzi, owner of
Everett Supply and True
Value Hardware, is planning
to expand his business to
include 16 residential units.

School Committee to negotiate
contract renewal for Obremski
By Christopher Roberson
T
he School Committee
recently voted to begin
the process of renewing its
contract with Assistant Superintendent
of Operations
Charles Obremski.
During the March 21
School Committee meeting,
Ward 1 School Committee
Member Millie Cardello
requested that Obremski’s
contract be referred to the
Subcommittee on Finance
and Negotiations and discussed
in Executive Session.
However, School Committee
Member-at-Large
Samantha Lambert questioned
the need for an Executive
Session. “Currently the
School Committee holds
the contract; therefore, it’s
public,” she said.
School Committee Chairperson
Jeanne Cristiano
said the subcommittee
members will determine if
an Executive Session is necessary.
“At that time, they
can make decisions based
on what they see as the
prudent method to move
forward with this,” she said.
The School Committee ultimately
voted 7-1 to refer
the matter to the Subcommittee
on Finance and Negotiations.
Accelerating
mathematics
instruction for students
In other news, the School
Committee voted to accept
a grant from the state
Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education
(DESE) to assist with funding
for the district’s Acceleration
Academies. Superintendent
of Schools Priya
Tahiliani said the grant
is valued at approximately
$83,000.
“We plan to purchase our
Math iReady curriculum
from this grant,” she said.
“This grant is slightly different
in that it doesn’t come
in as an amount; it comes
in as an approval and then

of Operations
we put in for the curriculum
that we want through
DESE.”
Tahiliani said that in addition
to iReady, she and
her colleagues continue to
study other math programs
as part of the district’s ongoing
curriculum revision
process.
According to DESE, the
math acceleration program
is part of the state effort to
help students recover from
learning loss caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
A call for Councillor
DiPierro’s resignation
Tahiliani also addressed
the controversy stemming
from the racist meme that
was circulated by Ward 3
Councillor Anthony DiPierro.
“I condemn the actions
of Everett City Councillor
Anthony DiPierro and ask
that he resign from office
effective immediately,” she
said, adding that his recent
actions have no place in Everett.
“They’re the antithesis
of everything we should
stand for as a school district
and as a community.”
In addition, Tahiliani said
she was surprised that more
city leaders have not spoken
publicly about the incident.
“Less than a handful
of our elected officials
have responded,” she said.
“I want our students and
our families to know that I
hear their voices and I feel
their pain. I will never shy
away from advocating on
their behalf; this is within
my purview.”
Lambert expressed similar
sentiments. “Our schools
are incredibly diverse; people
are always shocked
when I tell them about Everett,”
she said. “I’m proud
to be in Everett, I chose Everett,
I chose it for my children.
I will always speak for
the students of our schools.
I hear our educators and
our community who are in
pain and hurting.”
However, Ward 2 School
Committee Member Jason
Marcus shared a different
opinion. “If we could just
try to help maybe instead
of beating him up,” he said
of DiPierro. “It’s easy to beat
somebody up when they’re
down.”
Marcus said he has always
known DiPierro to be
a consummate professional.
“I plead with all of you;
if you really care about the
kid, you won’t ruin his life,”
he said.

Madeline English STEM Club to create pollinator meadow
Eighth-graders in the STEM Club at the Madeline English School, in concert with Conservation Agent Thomas Philbin, are using seed tubes to grow low and tall
grasses as well as wildflowers. The tubes – built by the students – allow the seeds to retain water and hold the grasses in place. In addition to planting the grass,
the students spread meadow seed at Rivergreen Park before placing fiber mats over the top and staking them. This is done to stabilize the steep bank to retain
moisture and prevent erosion. Planting these different seeds will ultimately result in the creation of a pollinator meadow. (Photos Courtesy of the City of Everett)

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 25, 2022
Mayor announces formation of Transportation Management Association
M
ayor Carlo DeMaria recently
announced that
the city will soon be home to
its very own, private Transportation
Management Association
(TMA). It will be a major
driver of Everett’s transportation
reform. The TMA is a partnership
between businesses,
institutions and municipalities
that will work together to help
develop, promote and implement
the transportation initiatives
throughout the city,
with a focus on easing vehicular
congestion.
“I am excited to be able to
offer more modes of transportation
to our current and future
residents as well as provide
support for our local businesses,”
said DeMaria. “A TMA
is a great addition to our city
that will potentially ease congestion
as well as make it easier
to get around.”
Between November 2019
and November 2020, NorthEase
Consulting Group examined
the possible potential
for the establishment of
a TMA in the city. NorthEase
met with over a dozen stakeholders
to introduce the concept
of a TMA as well as underCIGAR

stand their specific needs and
thoughts on transportation in
Everett. Many companies, residential
property owners, commercial
property owners and
community groups were interviewed,
and all saw the massive
potential that a TMA could
have in Everett.
The TMA board was finalized
and is as follows: Greystar Director
of Development Chris
Legocki as President, V10 Development
Partner John Tocco
as Treasurer, and Encore
Boston Harbor Director of
Front Services Matt Grogan
as Clerk. There are also other
TMA members, including
John Block from Block Properties,
Rob Burns from Nightshift
Brewing, Dan Lee from Lennar
Multifamily Communities and
City of Everett employees.
Possible concerns of the
stakeholders include general
traffic, lack of connection to
surrounding communities and
pedestrian safety. TMA serves
to improve the city in all of
these aspects and many more.

erett by enforcing accountability
for the city’s developers
and business partners to
reduce traffic congestion and
provide alternate methods of
transportation. Additionally,
some of the services, such as
bike share and the community
shuttles, which the TMA
will operate on behalf of their
members, will be accessible
to all members of the Everett
community. The changes
may seem small, but they will
be significant: fewer car trips
from new developments, expansion
of the Blue Bikes bike
share system, expansion of the
Encore Boston Harbor community
shuttles to serve more
locations in the city, and better
connections to MBTA stations.
Someone looking to move
to another city might instead
consider Everett based on
the benefits that the TMA will
bring in terms of transportation.
Everett will have more
mobility amenities that connect
new and existing residents
to key destinations and
neighborhoods in and around
Everett. On the business end
of things, employers might
have a greater pool of potential
employees from increasing
the locations from which one
can travel to their business
without a car. This will also reduce
the need for business-related
parking, which will allow
a business to serve more patrons
with fewer parking spaces,
and at less cost.
The initial response to the introduction
of the TMA was incredibly,
and understandably,
positive, as the tangible benefits
resulting from the TMA
will be enjoyed by Everett residents
and employers and residential
building owners.
Initial funding for the TMA
will come from a combination
of developers with Transportation
Demand Management
(TDM) requirements in their
developmental permits, the
City of Everett and voluntary
membership of existing businesses
and residential developments.

Weigh Better U
Be Positive, But Be Honest
By Sam Amado
O
ur business is fitness. But
this week’s article is about
making honest decisions.
It is common to hear that people
should ignore their weight
or physical profile for the sake
of “body positivity.” Being 50
or 100, or merely 20, pounds
overweight is not “just as good”
or as healthy as being the correct
weight (based on height,
age, etc.).
If somebody is getting winded
after climbing a flight of
stairs or some other moderate
activity, they are probably out
of shape.
People have a right to make
choices about their health. If
somebody likes junk food more
than they like to exercise, that
is fine. If they like playing video
games more than exercise,
good for them. This article is
not about shaming people for
their choices.
But different choices lead to
different results. The immediate
differences are going to be
apparent in somebody’s weight
and physical profile. And there
are probably going to be longterm
differences in health and
life expectancy.
Deriding fitness or exercise
as “fat-phobia” or “diet culture”
does not change the fact that
being overweight is unhealthy.
(At the risk of sounding juvenile,
maybe people who exercise
could complain about
“fit-phobia” or “glutton culture.”)
If somebody’s weight is the result
of a medical condition, they
can still make decisions to mitigate
or aggravate their health
problems.
The IT and office guy here at
Weigh Better U is 35~40 pounds
overweight. Other than the
light workouts that he sneaks
in at our Main Street studio, he
is not active. His diet is spectacularly
healthy. He plays video
games. He is not ashamed of his
choices. But he understands the
consequences of those choices.
This column is about encouraging
and helping people to
make healthy decisions. Be
healthy, or not. But be honest.
DEA continues commitment to expanding
access to medication-assisted treatment
A
nne Milgram, administrator
of the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration
(DEA), recently announced
that the DEA will continue
to expand access to medication-assisted
treatment
to help those suffering from
substance use disorder.
“In this moment, when
the United States is suffering
tens of thousands of opioid-related
overdose deaths
every year, the DEA’s top priority
is doing everything in
our power to save lives,” said
Milgram. “Medication-assisted
treatment helps those
who are fighting to overcome
substance use disorder
by sustaining recovery
and preventing overdoses.
At DEA, our goal is simple:
we want medication-assisted
treatment to be readily
and safely available to
anyone in the country who
needs it.”
Recently, the DEA, in collaboration
with federal, state
and local partners, has been
championing several initiatives
to expand access to
medication-assisted treatment
for those suffering
from opioid-related substance
use disorder:
• Practitioners working in
hospitals, clinics and emergency
rooms are able to
request an exception allowing
them to dispense a
three-day supply of medication-assisted
treatments, including
buprenorphine and
methadone, to treat patients
experiencing acute opioid
withdrawal symptoms.
• The DEA, in partnership
with the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services,
is engaging in regular outreach
with pharmacists and
practitioners to express support
for the use of medication-assisted
treatment for
those suffering from substance
use disorder.
• In July 2021 the DEA implemented

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 25, 2022
Baker celebrates opening of Green Line Extension
G
overnor Charlie Baker,
Lt. Governor Karyn
Polito, Massachusetts Transportation
Secretary and
CEO Jamey Tesler and MBTA
General Manager Stephen
Poftak recently joined federal,
state and local elected
leaders and community
partners to celebrate the
opening of the first branch
of the Green Line Extension
(GLX) Project. A ribbon-cutting
event was held at the
brand-new Union Square
Station as well as at the
newly constructed and relocated
Lechmere Station.
“The Green Line Extension
is a transformative project
that is the result of collaboration
among federal, state,
local and community partners
and our administration
is thrilled to celebrate
today’s launch. This expansion
of the Green Line will
improve access to educational
and job opportunities
throughout the MTBA
system and across the region,”
said Baker. “This
milestone will have a significant
impact on this region
of the Commonwealth
by providing better MBTA
service to riders and spurring
economic growth, and
we are grateful to everyone
who worked together
to make this day possible.”
“Residents within these
communities and across the
region will now get to experience
the many benefits of
expanded MBTA service in
Somerville, Cambridge, and
Medford,” said Polito. “The
Green Line Extension has
been an important part of
our administration’s work to
expand transit options for
travelers across the Commonwealth,
and we look
forward to the opening of
the second branch of GLX
later this year.”
“The Green Line Extension
has been one of my
top priorities since I was
elected to the Senate, and
I’m glad to have helped secure
nearly a billion dollars
in federal funding for
this vital project that improves
transportation and
tackles environmental injustices
head on,” said U.S.
Senator Elizabeth Warren.
“This project became a reality
because our Somerville
and Cambridge communities
were dissatisfied with
the status quo and fought
tooth and nail for transformational
modern transit.
I will keep working with
my Congressional delegation
colleagues to prioritize
federal investments in
our frontline communities
that have been historically
shortchanged on infrastructure
improvements.”
“We call it the Green New
Deal because we need
green lines all across Massachusetts
and the country
that makes reliable, affordable
public transit the backbone
of our local communities
and economy,” said
U.S. Senator Ed Markey.
“The long-awaited Green
Line expansion will connect
thousands in Cambridge
and Somerville to new economic
opportunities and a
greener future. I am proud
to have worked alongside
my colleagues to secure
this nearly $1 billion investment
that will break down
barriers for workers, cut fossil
fuel emissions for our climate,
reduce traffic congestions
for commuters, and
make transit more accessible
for our communities.”
“I’m thrilled to see the
Green Line Extension into
Somerville move forward
at long last,” said Congresswoman
Ayanna Pressley.
“By extending past Lechmere
into Union Square, the
project will help spur the
economic growth we’re already
seeing in Somerville,
connect residents to critical
resources, and improve,
equity, accessibility, mobility,
congestion, and environmental
conditions for
riders and the communities
who rely on the Green Line
to get to and from work.
I’ll keep fighting to secure
robust investments in our
public transit to support
projects like the GLX, address
transportation inequities,
and make our communities
more connected.”
“The Green Line Extension
is already transforming the
region, creating so many
opportunities for residents,”
said Federal Transit Administration
Administrator
Nuria Fernandez. “The
Green Line was the first subway
line in America. MBTA
is still on the cutting edge,
looking for new and better
ways to improve access
and change people’s lives.
I am proud of FTA’s role as
this project came to fruition
– not only providing a
nearly $1 billion Capital Investment
Grant – but also
our technical assistance
throughout the process.”
“The start of service on
the Union Square branch
of the Green Line Extension
Project is just one example
of the Baker-Polito
Administration’s commitment
to providing safe and
equitable transportation
networks that support the
Commonwealth’s transit,
economic, climate and public
health goals,” said Secretary
Tesler. “We are grateful
to the partnerships which
have helped make this project
a success and look forward
to unveiling additional
infrastructure improvements
including commuter
rail station renovations and
projects bringing the system
into modern times with
ADA-compliant features.”
“The opening of the Union
Square Branch of the Green
Line today marks an incredible
achievement for the
MBTA and improved transit
options for the riders we
serve. It also symbolizes the
culmination of many years
of hard work on the project,
even during times of uncertainty,”
said Poftak. “I’d like
to thank the Baker-Polito
Administration for its continued
guidance and support
of GLX; our MassDOT
partners for their continued
leadership; our municipal
partners for their eagerness
and collaboration; GLX Program
Manager John Dalton
and the entire GLX team for
their dedicated work in propelling
this project forward
and making this day a reality;
the entire MBTA team for
their support of this project;
and the many stakeholders,
advocates, GLX neighbors,
and members of the community
who have partnered
with us and supported the
project. This is a great day,
and we look forward to ofBAKER

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 25, 2022
Mass. to Begin Distribution of Premium
Payments to Low-Income Workers
$500 payments to be sent to 500,000
eligible Massachusetts residents by the end
of March and call center now available
for constituents with eligibility questions
BOSTON – The Baker-Polito
Administration announced this
week the start of distribution
of the fi rst round of $500 payments
for low-income workers
under the COVID-19 Essential
Employee Premium Pay
Program. The payments will
be mailed to approximately
500,000 people over the next
week.
These payments were previously
announced last month
and represent the fi rst round of
a $460 million program passed
by the Massachusetts Legislature
and signed by Governor
Baker as part of a $4 billion
spending plan for American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
Under this program created by
the Legislature, the Administration
was provided fl exibility to
design the program and develop
eligibility parameters to ensure
this critical support is provided
quickly to workers across
the Commonwealth.
Massachusetts residents will
be eligible for fi rst round payments
if, based on fi led 2020
Massachusetts tax returns, their
income from employment was
at least $12,750 – the equivalent
to working 20 hours/week
for 50 weeks at minimum wage
as of 2020 – and their total income
put them below 300% of
the federal poverty level.
Individuals who received unemployment
compensation
in 2020 will not be eligible for
the first round of payments,
nor will Commonwealth executive
branch employees who
received or will receive a onetime
payment from the state as
their employer. Eligible individuals
will receive the payment
in the form of a check mailed
to them. Checks will be mailed
in batches in the coming days.
Click here for more information
on eligibility.
For questions about eligibility,
a dedicated call center is
available at (866) 750-9803 and
is open Monday through Friday,
9am - 4pm.
Click here to view answers
to frequently asked questions
(FAQs).
The legislation creating the
Premium Pay program included
$500 million in total for low-income
essential workers; this
$460 million program comprises
the majority of those funds,
and $40 million was allocated
to fund previous agreements
with state employee unions.
This fi rst round of payments,
worth $250 million, will be
made based on 2020 returns.
Following the 2021 tax fi ling
season, the next round of payments
will be made using information
from 2021 returns.
Information on plans to disburse
subsequent rounds of
funds will be released in the
future.
AG Healey calls on EPA to strengthen
protections to address health dangers of lead
A
ttorney General Maura
Healey recently joined a
coalition of 19 attorneys general
in calling on the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency
(EPA) to strengthen protections
against lead poisoning,
particularly for children living
in underserved and disadvantaged
communities
that are already overburdened
with environmental harm. In
its comments, the coalition
calls EPA’s “Draft Strategy to
Reduce Lead Exposures and
Disparities in U.S. Communities”
a strong starting point to
addressing the serious public
health issue of lead poisoning,
and lays out further recommendations
for how the
EPA should strengthen its plan
to more aggressively combat
the many ways in which people
– especially children – are
exposed to lead, including
through paint, drinking water,
soils, aviation fuel, air, food
and occupational hazards.
“Lead poisoning poses serious
long-lasting health risks
for our children,” Healey said.
“This is a devastating source
of health inequity caused by
years of systemic injustices,
and we are calling on the EPA
to move quickly and do more
to protect our children from
further harm.”
Lead is a highly toxic metal
that can cause serious and
irreversible health effects.
percent in 2020 and the prevalence
of lead poisoning increased.
The
multistate coalition’s
Maura Healey
Attorney General
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) estimates
that children in at
least four million households
nationwide are exposed to
high levels of lead. A 2021
study published in the Journal
of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) Pediatrics
found that more than half
of the children in the country
have detectable levels of
lead in their blood. Lead poisoning
is a major health equity
issue: That study also found
that elevated blood lead levels
in children are closely related
to poverty, race and
their lack of access to newer
housing. According to other
research, children living in
low-income communities in
Massachusetts are nearly four
times more likely to have elevated
blood lead levels.
Children who have been exposed
to even very low levels
of lead are at risk for neurological
and physical problems
during critical stages of
early development. In fact,
there is no safe level of lead
for children. Children under
the age of six are more likely
to be exposed to lead than
any other age group, as their
normal behaviors could result
in them chewing lead paint
chips, breathing in or swallowing
dust from old lead
paint that gets on fl oors, windowsills
and hands, and eating
certain foods, playing in
soil and handling other consumer
products.
According to the Massachusetts
Department of Public
Health’s 2020 Annual Childhood
Lead Poisoning Surveillance
Report, lead paint is the
primary source of childhood
lead exposure in the state,
and Massachusetts has the
third oldest housing stock in
the country, making lead exposure
a signifi cant risk for
the state’s children. In 2020,
420 children in the state were
found to have lead poisoning;
however, because of the
ongoing public health crisis,
lead screening was down 10
comments urge EPA to build
on the efforts identified in
the draft strategy to increase
public health protections, address
legacy lead contamination
for communities with the
greatest risk of exposure and
promote environmental justice,
by calling on the EPA to
implement other aggressive
measures, including:
• Increasing resources for
enforcing existing laws relating
to lead paint in rental
housing and amending existing
regulations to require
landlords to increase the
frequency of inspections of
houses with a history of lead
paint hazards
• Developing proactive policies
and standards for hazardous
waste sites, drinking water
and other sources of lead
exposure that are more protective
of public health and
designed to reduce lead poisoning
•
Developing aggressive
deadlines for tightening standards,
developing enforcement
policies and conducting
an endangerment determination
for lead in aviation
gas under the Clean Air Act

ficially opening Green Line
service along GLX’s Medford
Branch later this year.”
“The GLX will finally bring
the improvements in traffic,
air quality, and health that
Somerville has needed and
been promised for so long,”
said State Senator Patricia
Jehlen. “Thanks to all
the community advocates,
elected officials, transportation
staff, and workers who
have persisted and overcome
so many obstacles!
This is an important milestone,
and we look forward
to the other stations opening
this year and to the full
extension to Route 16 as
soon as possible.”
“Over 20 years ago, I
joined with those early activists
working for the GLX
and environmental justice
because of their clear vision
and our shared desire
for justice,” said Somerville
Mayor Katjana Ballantyne.
“That shared desire
for justice has united
many of us, and this milestone
demonstrates what
we can accomplish when
we work together. I want
to recognize and thank our
activists for their vision and
great effort, and others who
have helped us to realize
this progress.”
“The opening of the Green
Line Extension is an exciting
day for Cambridge, Somerville,
and the entire region,”
said Cambridge Mayor
Sumbul Siddiqui. “This investment
in public transit
is an investment in the
economic and environmental
health of our communities,
and I am grateful to the
many advocates and elected
officials who pushed for
the extension.”
“I want to thank Governor
Baker and his predecessor,
Governor Patrick, for their
vision and commitment to
equity,” said former Congressman
Michael Capuano.
“Without their leadership
this project would still
be a dream. This is proof
that elections matter and
quality leaders matter.”
“They said it couldn’t
be done and is there anything
more in character
for Somerville than proving
it can be?” said former
Somerville Mayor Joseph
Curtatone. “We always
knew mass transit
was an essential and missing
piece from a vibrant urban
community like Somerville.
It’s better for the environment,
better for people’s
health and it adds quality of
life and accessibility for everyone.
This only happened
because an entire city demanded
the state and federal
governments do the
right thing and honor their
commitments. The GLX is
proof positive that the people
united can make a difference.”
“The
start of revenue service
on the Union Square
Branch today represents
the collective, sustained
efforts of many people for
many years,” said MBTA
Green Line Extension Program
Manager John Dalton.
“Advocates, elected officials,
engineers, contractors,
MBTA employees, city
and state employees have
persisted to ensure the real
beneficiaries of GLX – the
riding public – will now
have reliable, safe public rail
service from Union Square
Station in Somerville and
soon from Medford/Tufts
Station in Medford. As a
member of the MBTA’s project
delivery team, I want to
specifically thank the dedicated
professionals of the
MBTA’s Program Management
Team, the staff and
work crews of GLX Constructors,
and the residents
and neighbors who have
been impacted by the construction
efforts associated
with achieving this historic
milestone.”
“The opening of the Green
Line Extension to Union
Square and the new Lechmere
Station are exciting
milestones that residents
of my district have been eagerly
awaiting,” said State
Senator Sal DiDomenico.
“This connectivity brings
new opportunities for transit-orient
development, job
creation, and lower environmental
impacts in the
community. I want to thank
our federal, state, and local
partners for staying the
course and ensuring that
this day became a reality.
This was a large undertaking
by so many people who
were determined to bring
safe and timely transit options
to our residents. As
an East Cambridge native, I
also appreciate the investments
in the Lechmere Viaduct
which has been a part
of our landscape for decades.”
“On
this momentous occasion
of opening the Green
Line Extension, I want to
thank the many local activists
and community members
who fought for decades
to bring public transit
to our neighborhoods,”
said State Representative
Christine Barber. “We
worked alongside activists
to build the first expansion
of the T in a generation,
which will serve our communities
that have been
overburdened by traffic and
air pollution. I look forward
to the next Green Line Extension
opening to ensure
every Somerville and Medford
resident has access
to safe, clean, and reliable
transit.”
“Today’s grand opening
marks the culmination of
decades of activism and advocacy
by Somerville and
Cambridge residents in
support of expanded public
transit in our community.
As the State Representative
for Lechmere, Union
Square Station, and other
parts of Cambridge and
Somerville, I am grateful
to Governor Baker and all
our state, federal, and municipal
partners for making
the Green Line Extension
a reality,” said State Representative
Michael ConBAKER

for highway, transit, and environmental
projects. The
funding authorized under
BIL provides the Commonwealth
with an opportunity
to increase investments
in roads, bridges, and other
transportation infrastructure,
with a focus on climate
change mitigation, resiliency,
equity, and safety for all
users, particularly cyclists
and pedestrians.
This bill will facilitate the
ongoing efforts of MassDOT
and the MBTA to invest
in and modernize the
Commonwealth’s transportation
system, and includes
$3.5 billion in potential state
matching resources to support
the aggressive pursuit
of new and existing federal
discretionary and competitive
grant programs available
under the BIL.
“This $9.7 billion bond bill
will enable the Commonwealth
to take full advantage
of the opportunities
made available through the
federal infrastructure legislation
and continue critical
support for core transportation
and environmental infrastructure
work,” said Administration
and Finance Secretary
Michael Heffernan. “Authorizing
these investments will
pave the way for historic economic
growth that will benefi
t residents across Massachusetts,
and we look forward to
working with the Legislature
to pass this bill into law.”
“This bond bill supports
our efforts to rebuild, modernize,
and expand the capacity
of the Commonwealth’s
transportation system
and aggressively pursue
and compete for discretionary
grant funding
to advance major projects,”
said Tesler. “On behalf
of the Baker-Polito Administration,
I would like to express
appreciation to the
members of the Legislature
and advocates for their support
of our efforts to advance
infrastructure investments.”
“Governor
Baker’s $9.7 billion
Infrastructure Bond Bill
will dedicate once in a lifetime
funding for important
transportation and environmental
projects that will
directly benefit the Commonwealth
today and well
into the future,” said Theoharides.
“Importantly, this
funding will enable the Commonwealth
to make significant
investments in zero
emission vehicle programs
and infrastructure, which
will further the Baker-Polito
Administration’s efforts
to decarbonizing the state’s
transportation system.”
Provisions of this bill would
enable MassDOT and the
MBTA to use certain project
procurement and delivery
tools that could speed the
implementation of BIL funded
projects, as well as regular
project delivery. MassDOT
and the MBTA would
be authorized to pilot the
A + B procurement method
to allow the time to complete
a project to be considered
in bid evaluation
and award. Additionally, Private
Development Mitigation/Transit
Oriented Development
authorization
would allow MassDOT and
the MBTA to enter into development
agreements that
include transportation and
other public benefits without
having to separately bid
for those elements.
“The funding in the Infrastructure
Bond Bill will allow
the MBTA to fully harness opportunities
in the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, both with
the match for Federal Formula
funds and to help us take
advantage of future discretionary
funding opportunities,”
said Poftak. “Thank you
to the Baker-Polito Administration,
our MassDOT colleagues,
local elected leaders,
and transit advocates
for continuing to work to
upgrade and modernize the
MBTA.”
This bill includes additional
authorization for existing
appropriations for the federal
aid and non-federal aid
programs to allow MassDOT
and the MBTA to continue
and accelerate work, taking
advantage of the historic
increase in annual federal
apportionments over the
next five years, while also
providing the authorization
needed to pursue new federal
competitive and discretionary
grants and support
new investments in clean
transportation and the environment.
These significant
investments, empowered
by both reauthorized and
increased federal funding
within the BIL, will be transformational
for the Commonwealth.
The
bond bill also provides
additional authorization to
support investments in cities
and towns to promote
bicycle and pedestrian safety,
improve municipal transportation
asset conditions,
and invigorate downtown
community public spaces
through several successful
grant programs. Some of
these programs include the
Complete Streets Funding
Program, Municipal Small

What to Do
with Cremated Ashes
Dear Savvy Senior,
A while back I saw an article
on diff erent ways to scatter a
person’s ashes after they’re cremated,
but I’ve misplaced it. Can
you help me with this? I’m preplanning
my funeral and would
like to include instructions on
what to do with my remains
that my family will appreciate.
Planning Ahead
Dear Planning,

Frederick Cafasso, Chairman
March 18 & March 25, 2022
There’s no shortage of options
when it comes to handling
or disposing of your cremated
remains after you’re
gone. Your family can keep,
bury or scatter them in a variety
of imaginative ways that
refl ect your life and personality.
Here are some diff erent options
to consider.
Scatter them: The most
popular option is to have your
ashes scattered at a location
you loved to be i.e., a favorite
fishing spot, camping area,
golf course, beach, park or at
home. If you choose this route,
keep in mind that some places,
such as national parks, require
a permit. And many public
areas, like parks or sports
stadiums may prohibit scattering.
Store
them at home: Many
families choose to keep their
loved ones close, by storing
them at home. If you and your
family choses this option, you
can purchase a decorative urn
through your funeral provider
or online at Amazon.com.
Or you may want to use an
old cookie jar or favorite container
that reminds your family
of you.
Bury/inter them: The burial
option is good if you wish to
have a special place for your
family to visit. This is also the
only option for cremated ashes
sanctioned by the Catholic
Church, which specifi es
that ashes of the dead should
be kept in sacred places like
a cemetery or a columbarium
and not kept at home or
scattered.
Plant them: If you’re the
environmental type, you can
have your ashes planted with
a tree. There are companies
that off er living urns – like TheLivingUrn.com
or UrnaBios.
com – that mix your ashes
with other nutrients that can
be used to grow a plant or tree
in your yard or a place of your
choosing.
Scatter them at sea: If you
love the water, there are many
businesses that off er ash scattering
services at sea, especially
close to coastal areas, or
your family could rent a boat
and do it themselves. There
are also companies like EternalReefs.com
that offer reef
memorials so your ashes can
rest on the ocean fl oor.
Scatter them by air: This
option will scatter your ashes
into the sky so the particles
can be taken by the wind. To
do this, they could hire a private
plane, helicopter or hot
air balloon service, or use a
balloon scattering service
like Mesoloft.com. Or they
could even send your ashes
into outer space with Celestis.com.
Turn
them into a record: If
you love music, a UK company
called Vinlyly (Andvinyly.com)
will turn your ashes into a vinyl
record. You supply the music
(or voice recording) and cover
image, and the company
creates a memorial that your
family can listen to for years
to come.
Turn them into jewelry
or glass: If you love jewelry
or glass trinkets, there
are companies – like CloseByMeJewelry.com,
SpiritPieces.
com and ArtFromAshes.com –
that will turn your ashes into
wearable jewelry or glass art
memorials.
Go out with a bang: If
you’re a hunter or a gun lover,
a company called Holy Smoke
(MyHolySmoke.com) will create
loaded ammunition out
of cremated remains. Your
family could store the ammo
in the engraved wooden box
it comes in, or they can send
you off in a gun salute.
Turn them into art: If you
love art, arrange for an artists
or family member to paint
your portrait, or a picture, with
some of your ashes mixed
into the paint. Or, if your family
is into tattoos, many tattoo
artists will mix some ashes
with ink to create a memorial
tattoo.

nolly. “Connecting the Environmental
Justice communities
of East Somerville
to the MBTA’s rail network
will take thousands of cars
off the road, further reducing
environmental burdens
in this region. In addition, I
am particularly pleased that
this project will deliver the
Community Path Extension
and incorporate work from
local artists.”
Lechmere Station
The former Lechmere Station
opened with the completion
of the East Cambridge
Viaduct in 1912. It
has served as the terminus
point of the Green Line
since that time. For the past
several decades, the backbone
of major economic
development and job
growth at Lechmere has
been the long awaited GLX
Project.
The new Lechmere Station
that opened as part of GLX
is located on the viaduct
on the north side of Monsignor
O’Brien Highway. Featuring
two headhouses located
on North First Street
and on East Street, the new
Lechmere Station includes
a new busway with four
bus shelters, longer station
platforms to accommodate
the next iteration
of Green Line “supercars,”
storage for more than 250
bicycles (182 covered, 72
uncovered), covered platforms
and three elevators.
With the reopening of Lechmere,
Bus Routes 69, 80, 87
and 88 will now use the new
Lechmere Station busway
on Water Street.
Union Square
Branch and Station
Linking one of Somerville’s
most highly populated
residential and commercial
centers to Boston and
the rest of the MBTA system,
the Union Square Branch
of GLX that opened recently
runs approximately one
mile parallel to the Fitchburg
Commuter Rail Line to
Union Square in Somerville.
The Union Square Branch’s

strategic location will contribute
to an estimated removal
of 26,000 vehicle
trips per day from local
streets and provide riders
with a one-seat ride from
Somerville to Fenway Park
and the Longwood Medical
Area. Union Square Station
is also an important driver
of local economic benefits
that include significant job
growth through developer
investment and a stimulated
commercial tax base
in the area.
With an entrance at Prospect
Street in Somerville,
Union Square Station features
a platform canopy,
longer station platforms to
accommodate the next iteration
of Green Line “supercars,”two
customer assistance
areas with emergency
call boxes, five platform
benches, bicycle storage areas
and an elevator to/from
the Prospect Street Bridge.
GLX
The GLX Project extends
the Green Line approximately
4.7 miles along
two branches – the Union
Square Branch and the Medford
Branch – from the relocated
Lechmere Station in
East Cambridge. The Medford
Branch of GLX, which is
anticipated to open in summer
2022, will run approximately
3.7 miles parallel to
the Lowell Commuter Rail
Line to College Avenue in
Medford. Seven new stations
were constructed as
part of the project, including
the relocated Lechmere
Station, along with a new
vehicle storage and maintenance
facility in Somerville.
When fully complete,
Green Line trains will operate
every five to six minutes
in the peak periods, providing
fast and efficient service
in areas that did not previously
have access to reliable
public transit. GLX will also
significantly reduce vehicle
emissions on the road by
supporting anticipated increased
ridership and dramatically
improve local and
regional air quality when
GLX is complete. About 20
percent of Somerville’s population
is within walking
distance of rail transit today,
and 80 percent will be
within walking distance to
a station at the completion
of the project.
GLX was procured
through a framework that
set strict limitations on the
project’s total cost while allowing
bidders to include
additive options ensuring
the MBTA could procure a
project that maximized the
benefits without jeopardizing
its budget. In addition
to track infrastructure
and seven station stops,
construction included six
additive options: platform
canopies, additional elevators
at select stations, public
art, an extension of the
community path with additional
connections and
an enhanced vehicle maintenance
facility.
The total project cost is
nearly $2.3 billion, which
includes other project components,
such as real estate,
professional services,
contingency and the procurement
of 24 new trains
to augment the existing
Green Line fleet. When fully
complete, GLX will have
installed 100,000 railroad
ties, 21,000 linear feet (nearly
four miles) of pilings,
22 million pounds of steel
(which includes 16.5 million
pounds of steel girders), 17
miles of permanent track
and two miles of multiuse
community path.

were no roll calls in the Senate
last week.
FORBID DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST A PERSON
WITH A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE
(H 4554)
House 155-0, approved
and sent to the Senate a
bill that would prohibit
any person or entity including
educational institutions,
workplaces and public
spaces from implementing
any policy that would
explicitly target someone
who wears their natural
hairstyle. The measure defines
natural hairstyle as
“hair texture, hair type and
protective hairstyles including
braids, locks, twists
and other formations.”
The bill also expands existing
anti-bullying law in
schools to include recognition
for students who may
be more vulnerable to bullying
or harassment because
of their natural hairstyle.
Another provision requires
the Massachusetts
Commission Against Discrimination
to investigate
complaints filed against
employers who have discriminated
based on natural
hairstyle.
“This is an historic moment
for Massachusetts. I
am beyond delighted that
the [bill] passed unanimously
in the House, and
words cannot describe how
great it is to see the years of
hard work from advocates,
staff, legislators and community
members bear fruit,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Steve
Ultrino (D-Malden). “Today,
the votes in our chamber
sent a clear message: racebased
discrimination has
no place in our commonwealth.
On this day, we ensured
that a person’s racial
and cultural identity will
no longer be an obstacle
to their education, professional
career and path to
success.”
There was a light moment
during floor debate on
the bill. “As you may have
guessed, I have never experienced
hair discrimination,”
said Rep. Ultrino, who
is bald.
“People of color across
the commonwealth, particularly
Black women, continue
to face discrimination
in school, in the workplace
and in public spaces based
on the texture and style of
their hair,” said Rep. Michael
Day (D-Stoneham), House
Chairman of the Committee
on the Judiciary. “It is
racism, and this bill is necessary
to address continued
attempts to outflank
our laws against discrimination
based on race.”
The House approved the
bill in the 2019-2020 session
on July 31, 2020 and
sent it to the Senate Ways
and Means Committee
where it died without further
action and without a
vote by the full Senate.
Beacon Hill Roll Call asked
Senate President Karen Spika
(D-Ashland) and Senate
Ways and Means chair Sen.
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport)
to explain why the
Senate Ways and Means
Committee in 2020 did not
act on what seems to be a
non-controversial bill and if
they think the bill will die in
committee again this year
or get through the committee
and be approved
the Senate. Despite repeated
requests, neither Spilka’s
office nor Rodrigues’ office
responded.
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill).

House 154-0, approved

bill that would require the
state to develop and implement
a Women’s Rights

measure includes requiring
the state to designate
properties and sites that
are historically and thematically
associated with
the struggle for women’s
rights and women’s suffrage.

WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon

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.
During the week of March
14-18, the House met for
