Reistad. he American Legion was still in its infancy when it convened a meeting in Washington, D.C., which still reverberates today. In 1923 the fouryear-old veterans organization called together 68 other patriotic, fraternal, civic and military groups for the purpose of drafting a code of flag etiquette. They were enormously successful. President Warren G. Harding gave the opening address. “I hope you succeed in formulating a code that will be welcomed by all Americans and that every patriotic and educational society in the Republic will commit itself to the endorsement and observance and purpose of the code that you adopt here today,” he said. Legendary labor leader Samuel Gompers described how union workers felt about Old Glory. “To us,” he said, “the American flag means more than even its colors in themselves portray. It means the leadership of the democratic and humane struggle has been carried on throughout all the ages.” Although violations of the Flag code do not carry criminal penalties, it is still the “go-to” source for all rules of etiquette regarding the display and care of the U.S. Flag. The meaning and principles are far older than the United States, as American Legion National Commander Alvin Owsley alluded to in 1923. “That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle upwards. It is the fullgrown flower of ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom.” That hope is what allows us to make important life choices. We choose to be office professionals, construction workers, union members, schoolteachers, police officers, business owners, doctors, pastors, students or members of some other trade. Outcomes are not guaranteed but the freedom to try is quintessentially American. That freeA.B.C. CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE Don’t Forget Dad!

It is what veterans have fought for and what many have died for. The term “rally around the Flag” has been used so much that it has become almost a cliché. But the truth is that Americans feel closer and more attached to their flag during times of crisis. In the years just prior to the attacks on 9/11, The American Legion averaged between a half-million to $600,000 of flag sales at our national headquarters. In 2001, The American Legion doubled those sales. By the end of 2002, sales were triple of what they were pre-9/11. The flag was just everywhere after 9/11. Who could forget the Pulitzer prize–winning photograph of three New York firefighters standing in the rubble that was the World Trade Center and hoisting our banner of hope and patriotism? Just a few weeks later, a giant flag draped the side of the Pentagon – the outer walls still scorched from where the hijacked airliner penetrated the nucleus of America’s military might. Debra Burlingame, an American patriot whose brother was killed in the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, wrote eloquently in The American Legion Magazine: “The flag spoke for us when we were bereft of words. It was our comfort and our rallying cry: ‘America! America! God shed His grace on thee.’ And so we put them everywhere: on office buildings and storefronts, on cars and kids’ bikes. The flag was sewn anew onto the uniforms of Major League Baseball players and emergency room nurses. It greeted us and lifted our spirits when we needed it most, appearing in improbable places, like a highway overpass. That faded, dirty flag on I-95 pierces my heart. Where have all the flags of September 11th gone?” It is up to us to answer this question. We see the flag make the traditional comebacks – particularly during observances of Flag Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Veterans Day. We see our flag spike in popularity during Olympic Games, political conventions and national sporting events. The Flag becomes a symbol of national pride when an astronaut reaches the heavens and places it on the moon, or a group of common men show uncommon valor as they fight through the ravages of hell to raise it on Iwo Jima’s Mount Suribachi. But if only most Americans would pay as much attention to the Colors as we do our smart phones.

Lewis applauds Senate passage of legislation to prevent distracted driving B OSTON – On Thursday the Massachusetts State Senate unanimously passed An Act preventing distracted driving, which would prohibit the use of handheld mobile devices while driving. “The ubiquity of smart phones has led to a serious epidemic of distracted driving across our communities,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “Accidents, injuries and deaths caused by distracted driving are completely preventable, and this bill will improve road safety and protect the lives of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving accounted for 3,450 deaths in 2016. In the prior year, an estimated 400,000 people suffered from injuries because of distraction-affected crashes. Passage of this bill puts Massachusetts in line with the northeastern states of Connecticut, New Hampshire and New York. Forty-six states currently ban texting while driving for all drivers, and 14 states ban the use of handheld devices for all drivers. In 2010 the legislature banned Lawrence A. Simeone Jr. Attorney-at-Law ~ Since 1989 ~ makes exceptions for phone calls in emergency purposes, such as situations where the safety of the driver, passenger or a pedestrian is at risk or first responder intervention is necessary. Under the bill, an initial vioState Sen. Jason Lewis texting while driving but did not ban the use of handheld devices for talking or other purposes. The 2010 law banned handheld use for 16 and 17 year olds. The law has been difficult to enforce, and hands-free technology has improved significantly since the passage of the 2010 law. The Senate has acted in previous sessions to address these concerns. This bill, which builds upon the 2010 law, would ban drivers from holding and using a cell phone while driving; however, drivers could make a single tap or swipe to activate or accept a hands-free call or to use a navigation device. The bill also lation results in a $100 fine and the second offense has a $250 fine, while subsequent offenses carry a $500 fine. In addition to fines, a driver who commits a second or subsequent offense is required to complete an educational program on driving behavior selected by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The bill also considers concerns that enforcement of the hands-free ban could lead to disparate impacts, such as racial profiling, in certain communities. It requires law enforcement to document stops and submit aggregate data, including race and ethnicity, to the Department of Public Safety for the production of annual reports to the Legislature and the public. The Senate and the House will now work to reconcile bills relative to distracted driving prevention. On June 10 the House referred to bill (S.2245) to its Committee on Ways and Means. NE Metro Tech High School carpentry class surprises mayor M ayor Gary Christenson began this week with a surprise visit by Northeast Metro Tech High School students Gloria Lanzi, Danny Lancelotte, David Woodworth, Matthew Royal, Andrew Keyes, Shawn Rosario and David Defilippo. Unbeknownst to Mayor Christenson, over the last few months the sophomore Carpentry students led by instructor Rob Jepson worked hard to design and construct a brand-new podium. NE Metro Tech Superintendent David DiBarri was also in attendance for a presentation of the podium. The beautiful red oak podium features an intricately carved City of Malden seal and is easily disassembled for effortless transport to and from City of Malden events. The base and top are constructed with a combination of plywood veneer and oak hardwood with a mahogany base cap border, and the whole podium was coated with three coats of varnish. “This is the best surprise I’ve had in a long time,” said Christenson. “I could not be more impressed with the students’ work. I am truly grateful that the City will have this beautiful podium for many years to come.” The NE Metro Tech Carpentry Program is designed to instruct students in all types of housing construction and remodeling, including foundation, framing and exterior and interior finish work.

The City Council this week approved a new ordinance that requires anyone who keeps a storage unit, pod or portable container on their property for more than 30 days to pay a $50 fee for an annual permit issued by the building inspector. The ordinance also sets a limit of two storage containers on residential properties. Ordinance Committee Chairman Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said the new rules were developed in response to an uptick in the number of storage containers throughout the city. According to a cursory survey by city staff, there are about 200 storage units in Malden, half of which are on residential properties. “There was no way for the building inspector or the compliance team to know what’s inside of them, and whether they are structurally sound,” said Spadafora, adding that the new rules will give the city some control. According to Spadafora, storage containers are becoming an increasingly common sight around the city. “Con505 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Tel: 617-387-1120 www.gkdental.com • Family Dentistry • Crowns • Bridges • Veneers/Lumineers • Dental Implants • All on 4 Dental Implants • Emergency Dentist • Kid Friendly Dentist • Root Canals • Dentures • Invisalign Braces • Snap On Smile • Teeth Whitening We are the smile care experts for your entire family tainers have become the new standard of sheds,” he said. “They are temporary structures that, unlike actual sheds, don’t need a building permit.” Ward 1 Councillor Peg Crowe said the issue of storage containers was discussed during a meeting of the mayor’s problem properties unit, which focuses on neighborhood nuisances such as illegal rooming houses, vacant buildings and properties with public safety issues and code violations. Crowe said that without an ordinance there was no way for the city to tackle the issue. Both Crowe and Spadafora said the new ordinance is aimed at regulating the use of storage containers in residential areas of the city. “This is not Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora a way to say no to storage containers,” said Crowe. “It’s just a way to make sure they are in good condition and to limit the amount.” Legislature advances Fair Share Legislation led by Sen.

The revenue generated – estimated by the Department of Revenue to be as much as $2.2 billion annually – would fund repair and maintenance projects for roads, bridges or public transportation as well as funding for public education. “The revenues from the Fair 2005 BMW 3 Series 330xi Price: $4,500 * 130K Miles MPG: 16 city/23 highway 2014 Chevrolet Sonic LS Price: $5,900 * 119K Miles MPG: 25 city/35 highway ~ 30 Day Warranty on all Cars ~ www.easternsaleseverett.com Share Amendment will go a long way to increase funding for public schools, make higher education more affordable for students and families, and fix our state’s crumbling roads, bridges and public transportation. Today, more than three quarters of legislators voted to advance the Fair Share Amendment, reflecting the overwhelming public support for this measure,” said State Senator Jason Lewis, the lead sponsor of the legislation in the Massachusetts Senate. “The Fair Share Amendment is the best way to make the investments in our Commonwealth that we desperately need in the fairest way possible.” The income level would be adjusted annually to reflect any increases in the cost of living by the same method used for federal income tax brackets.

Mayor Christenson, in a campaign Op. Ed., last week, announced what appears to have been a major change of heart and has stopped supporting the new MAPC driven, Inner Core Housing Development Plan, which called for thousands of additional housing units in Malden. In a related email to the Mayors Op. Ed., obtained through a Freedom of Information request to MAPC dated March 5th 2019, he finally acknowledged the negative impact the plan would have on education funding in Malden. This comes months after 185,000 units for the inner core of Greater Boston was signed on in Phase 1 of the plan by 15 Mayors, including Mayor Christenson, in October 2018. In the Op. Ed. he stated the following: “As your Mayor, I am one of fifteen Mayor’s on a Metro Mayor’s task force that deals with many regional issues. One of these issues is housing. Many of my colleagues feel like their communities have the appetite for additional housing production, and I respect that and the mission of the group as a whole. But let me be clear. When the vote was taken asking specifically for Malden to commit to additional housing production, my vote was no.” What is most remarkable, as his Op Ed tells only part of the story, is the Mayor’s stated reason for voting no, when he communicated his vote via the email three months ago to MAPC (see attached email): “The impact on areas like traffic and education are two of the most often cited concerns. As an example unless the Chapter 70 (education aid from state) formula is changed, communities like Malden can be unknowingly affected by high density development because of the impact it might have on the Target Local Contribution; under some circumstances it can result over the long term in near complete loss of any incremental tax revenue to a reduction in Chapter 70 Aid. We would be happy to discuss this with anyone who may be interested.” As negative impact on education was well known after the “Growth Management Study of 2017” was completed, during the Housing Moratorium, it begs the question: what changed for Mayor Christenson and what new information is he aware of that has not been fully disclosed? Why were the citizens of Malden not informed of his vote, against more large scale housing development in Malden three months ago in March? More specifically, if the Mayor who stated in the email “would be happy to discuss this with anyone who may be interested,” would that not include the City Council of Malden and most importantly the 68% who voted for the moratorium who wanted nothing less than a halt to more apartment development? The Mayor, based upon his own words, now appears to have come in line with the majority of residents on housing development, which is very positive. The information he possesses and which he clearly references regarding the negative impact to school funding, of multi-unit development, needs to be shared openly with the City Council and Citizens. For nearly four years his office and the Malden Redevelopment Authority, at his direction, has pushed further mass development predicting that halting it would have draconian effects on Malden.

Massachusetts is in the second year of a three-year, $600 million investment in the Chapter 90 funding program, which provides state aid to communities for road and infrastructure improvements. The long list of the awards to individual communities came in the company of a press release touting the benefits of Chapter 90 funding for residents who will have better roads and travel options that will connect them to economic opportunities. “Providing consistent Chapter 90 funding is one of the many ways in which our administration continues to serve as a reliable partner to all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth,” said Lt.

(Courtesy Photo) Malden that are facing huge bills for critical road and infrastructure projects, consistency is becoming a problem. Although road repair and construction costs have increased significantly over the past several years, Chapter 90 funding has been stuck at $200 million a year since 2012, except for 2015 when it bounced up to $300 million. Earlier this year, the Massachusetts Municipal Association, members of the construction industry and some lawmakers joined forces to advocate for an increase in Chapter 90 funding. They proposed expanding the program to $300 million. However, that request was pushed back by members of the Baker administration who pointed out that, in addition to Chapter 90 funds, the state also provides road and infrastructure aid through other programs, such as Complete Streets and the Municipal Small Bridge Program. While Malden could use more help from the state, the $909,329 is not only warmly welcomed, it’s actually already spent. Earlier this year, the city unveiled a fiveyear, $15.2 million water main replacement program that will require extensive road repairs. The proposed budget for that project included $2.3 million in Chapter 90 funding.

Industrial Eden: The Legacy of Haywardville on Spot Pond Brook Monday, June 17, at 6:30 p.m. at the Malden Public Library – free to all – presented by The Preservation Collaborative, Inc. in partnership with the Malden Public Library. The Middlesex Fells Reservation is one of Metropolitan Boston’s most beautiful and treasured parks. Its natural landscape is well known and celebrated, but did you know it once had a more industrial past? The first mention of the Middlesex Fells region was in 1629 by the Sprague Brothers. Their careful notes on natural resources led other colonists to this area, including the famous Puritan leader John Winthrop. For the next three centuries, this rocky woodland region was part of the evolving New England landscapes. Generations worked farms in fields, pastures and woodlots. Businesses were established and industry took foothold in various forms. In the blink of an eye, this entire of way of life ceased for a higher cause: The Middlesex Fells was created for the general public to enjoy forever. Come for an evening to revisit the thriving enterprises, and the entrepreneurs, that changed this place, their towns, the Commonwealth and beyond. These programs are funded as part of Converse 2020: Exploring the Industrial History of Malden, a two-year program brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, with additional funds from the Malden Public Library. Go Local: Converse 2020 is a lecture and event series celebrating the life and philanthropic contributions of Malden’s first Mayor, Elisha Slade Converse, and the industrial history of Malden. Elisha (born in 1820) and Mary Diana Edmands Converse were the largest benefactors of many of Malden’s most important institutions: the Malden Public Library (Converse Memorial Building), Pine Banks Park, Fellsmere Park and Pond, the Malden YMCA, the First Baptist Church, the Malden Hospital, the Malden Home for Aged Persons, the Malden Auditorium, Malden Associated Charities, the Malden Industrial Aid Society, the Malden Day Nursery and many other community organizations. In 1853, Elisha founded the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, which was Malden’s largest employer and the world’s largest producer of fine rubber boots, shoes and overshoes. Malden residents were also employed at the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, which was founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse (Elisha’s cousin), and was the home of the famous Chuck Taylor brand. The program series will continue through Elisha Converse’s 200th Birthday on July 28, 2020. 54 OAKES STREET EVERETT, MA 02149 Phone (617) 389-2448 www.saseverett.com Friday, June 14 at 8:30 PM Dance to the Beats of Saturday, June 15 at 8:30 PM Preschool to Grade 8 (PreK program starts at 2.9) Christian Values & Strong Academics Before/After School Programs Extra-Curricular Activities Financial Assistance Available Come and see the difference we can make in the life of your child!

During a competitive review process, MVES was chosen from a total of 574 applicants. The grant was awarded to MVES in support of its Elder Independence Fund, a 21-year program that makes it possible for low-income older adults or adults living with disabilities to receive an urgently needed item or service that helps them remain independent and for which there is no other resource or way to obtain the needed item or service. “This grant will be a tremendous help in maintaining our Elder Independence Fund and we are truly grateful for the Cummings Foundation’s support. Through their generous gift, this award will make positive impacts on the lives of people in need,” said MVES CEO Daniel O’Leary. The $100k for 100 program supports nonprofits that are based in and primarily serve Middlesex, Essex and Suffolk Counties. Through this placebased initiative, Cummings aims to give back to the communities where it has its commercial buildings, all of which are managed by its affiliate, Cummings Property. “By having such a local focus, we aim to make a meaningful, positive difference in the communities where our colleagues and leasing clients live and work,” said Cummings Foundation Executive Director Joel Swets. “We are grateful for the nonprofit organizations that assist and empower our neighbors, and we are proud to support their efforts.” This year’s diverse group of recipients represents a wide variety of causes. The complete list of 100 grant winners is available at www.CummingsFoundation.org. Malden YMCA Summer Food Service Program The Malden YMCA is participating in the Summer Food Service Program.

Youth and Families Program (GYFP) that provides families experiencing or at-risk of homelessness with counseling and afterschool tutoring. Saturday, June 22, members of Housing Families’ staff will be participating in a 5K Walk for GYFP within Malden, with the goal of raising $100,000 to support the healing and growth of families that are experiencing the toxic stress caused by housing instability. “Our services are powerful and transformative,” emphasized GYFP Director Barbara Schwartz. “One kid said ‘GYFP is officially the best place ever!’ It’s because for the first time he feels safe, has had academic success, and feels confident and strong in his ability.” According to the National Center on Family Homelessness, homeless children are four times as likely to have a developmental delay. With frequent housing changes, homeless children often only fall further behind in school. In Fiscal Year 2018, 90% of the families served by the agency lived in Malden, Everett, Revere, Medford and Chelsea. If you would like to donate to Housing Families’ 5K Walk for GYFP, please visit its website: https://housingfamilies.org. ׉ 7cassandra://LGVlMPUsApF-qUv9ECI5kQD_856IGcyTAivqhxWNa5w(J`̰];ELD׉ETHE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, June 14, 2019 Page 11 Second Annual Malden Juneteenth Freedom Celebration slated for June 19 J oin members of the Malden Community Organizing for Racial Equity (MaldenCORE) and other community collaborators in commemorating Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the abolition of slavery in the United States.

Another rallying anthem for many in the military during the Global War on Terrorism was the Toby Keith song “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue.” Interestingly enough, the Continental Congress left no record as to why it chose the colors that it did for our flag. The Congress of Confederation in 1782 chose the same colors for the Great Seal of the United States and reasoned that the white meant purity and innocence; the red meant valor and hardiness and the blue was for vigilance, perseverance and justice. George Washington reportedly explained that the stars on the Flag were taken from the sky, the red from the British colors and the white stripes signified the secession from the home country. And how did the Flag earn the nickname “Old Glory”? It reportedly dates back to 1831 when Captain William Driver, a shipmaster from Salem, Massachusetts, left on one of his many world voyages. Friends presented him with a flag of 24 stars. As the banner opened to a steady breeze, he exclaimed, “Old Glory!” He kept his flag for many years, protecting it during the Civil War until it was flown over the Tennessee capital. Today, we are honoring not just our Flag, but also what it symbolizes. We are honoring freedom. We are honoring the freedom to worship as we please, to speak as we please and to vote as we please. We are honoring the hardworking men and women who have made this the greatest and most successful country that the world has ever known. Flag Day is America’s Day. It represents the more than 46 million men and women who have served in this nation’s wars from the Revolution to the War on Terrorism. It represents liberation from tyranny, slavery, fascism, terrorism and communism.

Seventy degrees, breezy, sunny. A lovely blue sky. The perfect day to be out. Here is a thermometer in the shade, (where temperature from official weather reports is also measured.) It reads 69 F. So far so good. On live, real natural grass and clover, in the direct sun near the bike path, the temperature goes up to 79 or 80 F and stops. It feels warm in the sun, but still breezy and comfortable. For accuracy, I cool the thermometer in the shade between measuring other surfaces. On pavement in the Charles Ro parking lot, the temperature goes up to 92 F and stops. On the MVRCS artificial plastic turf field, the temperature shoots up to 102 F and stops. two minutes for the thermometer to register, I can feel the heat coming up through my shoes, like I’m standing on a broiler, or in a pizza oven. It’s uncomfortably hot. The breeze doesn’t relieve the alarming sensation of heat radiating up through my feet. My 6-year-old goes over to the score board (the only source of shade) to wait until it’s time to take the photo, until the thermometer stops rising. Now, this is a 70-degree day, in the morning. In the shade or on live grass, it should be perfectly pleasant out. But standing on artificial turf, it’s actually over THIRTY degrees warmer, 102 F, and I am uncomfortably hot within two minutes. The temperature is even hotter than on asphalt! Mine is just anecdotal observation, but scientific data is abundant. What happens in the hottest part of the school day? How about during a heat wave? On those occasions, even artificial turf manufacturers warn of heat-stress related illness, and recommend athletes leave the field. After two minutes standing on broiling hot plastic, anyone can see why. As an urban parent of schoolaged children, I am not comfortable with asking urban public school children to accept broiling hot plastic turf as their lot in life. As a former middle school science teacher, I am not comfortable robbing our kids of a whole schoolyard of real live grass, and all its comforts, benefits, its oxygen, its air purification, its cooling effect, and its nature. As a citizen of a democracy, I am not Dear Editor, I was disappointed to witness the committee's approval of the City of Malden’s plan to rip out all the natural, live grass from Salemwood School yard, Roosevelt Field, and pave it with plastic. While the plastic is also colored green and you can run around on it, artificial turf lacks the benefits of real, live, natural grass, nor is it preferred by athletes, especially on sunny days. Just for fun, my 6-year-old and I decided to get out my student thermometer from my middle school science teaching days and go measure the temperature difference on different surfaces in our neighborhood. Here it is, Saturday morncomfortable with robbing my whole neighborhood of this field of natural live grass, an important antidote to the urban heat island effect. Many cities are pro-actively seeking ways to mitigate the deadly, increasing temperatures and frequency of summer heatwaves. Planting green roofs, pulling up asphalt and planting more trees and gardens are among the innovative solutions. Removing large areas of living green space to pave them with heat-intensifying plastic turf is NOT on the list of ways to mitigate the urban heat island effect. I am also not comfortable with giving the burden of disposal of this giant plastic rug when it need to be replaced before it is paid for, and for locking our future into an questionable choice that many communities are regretting. The Community Preservation Act prohibits the use of CDC funds for artificial turf, because the reason for this law is to preserve a community’s natural assets. It is wrong for the decision impacting so many school families to go forward with no input from the school, teachers, parents and students. For our growing children, for our community, for our financial future, for our climate, local and global, I urge the Malden City Council to value natural live grass as a natural asset that it is, and to use CDC funds for what they were meant to do: maintain natural, real live grass at the Roosevelt Field at the Salemwood schoolyard.

My husband and I love to travel but hotel costs eat up our budget so much that we can’t afford to go as often as we’d like. We’ve used Airbnb with some luck but are wondering if there are other options for budget-conscious retirees. Retired Travelers Dear Retired, Accommodations are typically one of the costliest travel expenses. But, if you’re willing to do a little research and preplanning, there are a number of ways you can lower (or eliminate) your lodging costs and live more like a local when you travel. Here are some different options to consider and some websites that can help you locate them. B&B Clubs If you like staying in bed and breakfasts and have a spare bedroom yourself, check out the Evergreen Club (EvergreenClub. com) and the Affordable Travel Club (AffordableTravelClub.net). These are B&B clubs for travelers over ages 50 or 40 that offer affordable lodging in the spare bedroom of other club members, or they may stay with you when they’re on the road. You pay a modest gratuity of around $20 per night, with breakfast. And the clubs charge membership fees of $65 to $75 per year. Lower Cost Rentals There are literally millions of privately-owned properties in the United States and abroad that are offered as short-term rentals. This has become a very popular alternative to hotels for retirees. Renting a fully furnished apartment or house is usually cheaper than hotel rooms of comparable quality, and they almost always offer more space, a homier feel and a kitchen, which can save you the expense eating out every meal. Short-term rentals are offered through the individual property owners or property-management companies. Some of the best sites for finding them include Airbnb.com, HomeAway.com and FlipKey.com. These sites are free to use for travelers. Another nifty site you should check out is The Freebird Club Home loans, designed with you in mind. LET US HELP FIND THE RIGHT MORT G AGE OPTION FOR YOU .

Unlike Airbnb and the other previously listed lodging rental sites, Freebird users pay a $31 fee to join and to have their identities verified. They then fill out a questionnaire asking where they’d like to travel and how much interaction they’d like to have with their hosts. On the other end, hosts are not offering rental properties and a key in a drop box, but their own homes, along with conversation and companionship, for much less than the price of a hotel. House Sitting If you have a flexible schedule and you don’t mind doing a few household chores when you travel, house sitting is another option that offers lodging for free. How it works is you live in someone else’s home while they’re away for a long weekend or even a few months. And in exchange for the free accommodations, you take care of certain responsibilities such as their pets, lawn, garden, mail, etc. To find these opportunities, try sites like Nomador.com, MindMyHouse.com, HouseCarers.com and TrustedHousesitters.com – they all charge a small membership fee. Home Swapping Another way to get free accommodations when you travel is by swapping homes with someone who’s interested in visiting the area where you live. To make a swap, you’ll need to join an online home exchange service where you can list your home and get access to thousands of other listings. Then you simply email the owners of houses or apartments you’re interested in – or they email you – and you make arrangements. Most home exchange sites like HomeExchange.com, HomeLink.org and Intervac-HomeExchange.com charge membership fees ranging from $50 to $150.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators' votes on roll calls from the week of June 3-7. ALLOW UNIONS TO CHARGE NON-UNION MEMBERS FOR SOME COSTS (H 3854) House 155-1, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would allow unions to charge non-members for the cost of some services and representation. The bill was filed as a response to a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that public employees cannot be forced to pay fees or dues to a union to which he or she does not belong. Freedom of speech advocates hailed the decision while labor advocates said it was an unjust attack on unions. "Today the Massachusetts House of Representatives stood up for workers," said Massachusetts AFL-CIO President Steven Tolman. "They stood up for workers and against the right-wing special interests that forced their anti-union views across the country through the misguided and political Janus Supreme Court ruling." “The union bosses just got the green light to harass and intimidate state workers who are not enrolled in a union,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “They can flex their muscle as much as they want, to the detriment of our state workers, and Massachusetts can thank the 155 House lawmakers who voted for it.” "This legislation is just one important step in the fight against anti-worker attacks," said Peter MacKinnon, president of SEIU Local 509. "Even now, the labor movement is facing new legal threats designed to make their way through the courts to drain our resources and weaken our collective power. Our members, our legislators and our communities must stand united against those that attempt to divide us." “While I wasn’t opposed to the overall bill, I truly believe that personal privacy is a fundamental human right,” said Rep. Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk), the only member who voted against the bill. “And for the Legislature to create a law that takes away that right from a citizen is simply wrong. All I was asking is that the employee be given a choice if they wanted to share their private, personal information with the union. Maybe it is only a couple of people, but isn’t our duty to protect their privacy rights over the wants and desires of a trade organization? Obviously, I’m alone in this thinking, but I feel this is an extremely slippery slope and sets a dangerous precedent.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A "No" vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes PERSONAL INFO (H 3854) House 31-125, rejected an amendment that would eliminate the requirement that employees give the union their home address, home and cell phone number and personal email address. The amendment would leave in place the requirement that the employee provide his or her work telephone number and work email address. Amendment supporters said that requiring personal information is an invasion of the employee’s privacy. They noted that unions have enough ways to contact new employees without using personal information. “It is more than reasonable to expect that unions, who will be representing individuals in their work interest, should contact those prospective members at their place of work,” said Dooley the sponsor of the amendment. “This amendment would ensure that unions, whose reputation has not always been sterling, cannot use unnecessarily coercive or harassing tactics to impose on someone’s privacy at their home or on their cell phone in order to pressure them into union membership.” Amendment opponents said laws have to keep up with the times. They noted that today’s communication is done via cell phone and personal email address, not home address and landline phone. (Please read carefully what a "Yes" and a "No" vote mean. On this roll call, the vote can easily be misinterpreted. A “Yes” vote is against requiring that employees give the union their home address, home and cell phone number and personal email address. A “No” vote is for requiring it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No BREACH OF INFO (H 3854) House 28-128, rejected an amendment that would require unions to provide the state with a bond with sufficient surety to provide credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to all union members in the event of a data breach. The amendment also would hold the union liable for any damage or injury that results from the disclosure of any employee contact information to a third party. “Seemingly weekly we read news of yet another large-scale data breach of individuals' personal data,” said Rep. Dooley. “It is reasonable to assume that a union with whom we entrust such personal information to, shall take the necessary steps to prevent and secure against identity theft. If they violate this law and illegally share the Amendment opponents said credit monitoring and identity theft protection services would already be provided to each employee under a law passed last year that applies to not just union workers, but to all workers. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No EMPLOYER MUST GIVE EMPLOYEE THE OPTION TO OPT OUT (H 3854) House 27-129, rejected an amendment that would require an employer to meet with a newly hired employee and inform the employee he or she has the option not to join the union. “It is entirely possible, if not likely, that a new employee may not be aware that under [the Supreme Court decision] they have the right to choose not to join a union and to pay union dues,” said Dooley. “However, asking an employee who may not even be aware of that right to decline when sitting across the table from a union representative does not give that employee the ability to make that decision free from all pressure or coercion. It is right and fair that an employer should provide their employees with all information pertaining to their rights, and the ability to choose to opt out while not being pressured by a union rep.” Amendment opponents offered no arguments during the debate. Despite repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment from three representatives who voted against the amendment, none of them responded including Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Quincy), Dan Ryan (D-Charlestown) and Bud Williams (D-Springfield). Chan, Ryan and Williams are very familiar with the bill since they filed their own versions of it months ago. Their versions were eventually consolidated into this new version that was being debated on the House floor. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No BAN HAND-HELD CELL PHONES (S 2216) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that would prohibit drivers from using a hand-held cellphone or other electronic device to make a call or access social media. The measure allows drivers to use only a handsfree phone but allows him or her to perform a single tap or swipe to activate or deactivate the hands-free mode feature. Use of a hand-held phone would be permitted in emergencies including if emergency service is necessary for the safety of the operator, a passenger or a pedestrian; and if police intervention is necessary due to a motor vehicle being operated in a manner that poses a threat to the safety of travelers on the roadway or to pedestrians. Violators would be fined $100 for a first offense,$250 for a second offense and $500 for a third offense and subsequent offenses. A third offense would count as a surchargeable offense that could lead to higher insurance rates for the violator. Supporters said that the bill would save lives and prevent accidents. They noted that the measure does not ban cellphone use but simply requires the use of handsfree ones. They pointed to accidents, deaths and injuries involving handheld cell phones. Although no one voted against the bill, some opponents say that the restriction is another example of government intrusion into people's cars and lives. Others note that there are already laws on the books prohibiting driving while distracted and that the bill is a bonanza for insurance companies which will collect millions of dollars in surcharges. “Studies on the effectiveness of hands-free vs. handheld cellphone operation of a motor vehicle are inconclusive at best,” said Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer), one of the two members who voted against a similar measure when it was up for a vote in the House a few weeks ago. “The real culprit in distracted driving is texting, which was already banned in 2010 but are still at staggeringly high levels. This bill doesn’t solve the problem of distracted driving and we could have used the money spent in this bill to provide better public awareness of the dangers and consequences of texting and driving.” “After fifteen years of filing and tirelessly pushing legislation to ban such dangerous behavior, Beacon Hill is finally ready to end the tragedies occurring on our roadways,” said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford). The chief proponent of the bill in the Senate. “Today, the Senate again passed a strong bill to save lives. We can never truly understand the pain suffered by the families of distracted driving victims, but we certainly owe it to them to put this on the governor’s desk ASAP.” The House has approved a different version of the bill and a conference committee will work out the differences. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $200 MILLION IN CHAPTER 90 FUNDING FOR LOCAL ROADS (H 69) Senate 40-0, approved and Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a bill authorizing $200 million in onetime funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The package is a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds. Other provisions include $200 million for rail improvements and $1.5 billion in bonding to allow for Tues. June 4 No House session federal interstate repairs to advance. According to officials, 80 percent of the $1.5 billion would be reimbursed by the federal government. Supporters said the $200 million would help cities and towns keep their roads and bridges safe and allow many vital municipal road projects to move forward. “Chapter 90 funding provides cities and towns with critical resources to carry out important projects like highway construction and road paving to improve local infrastructure in communities across Massachusetts,” said Gov. Baker. “We thank the Legislature for working with our administration to pass this bill and continue our support for local officials this construction season.” No one voted against the bill but there are some legislators and city and town officials who say the $200 million that has been given for the past few years is insufficient. The Massachusetts Municipal Association [MMA] has been seeking for several years to increase the amount to $300 million. “The MMA’s long-term goal is to work with the governor and Legislature on a shared strategy to increase Chapter 90 funding and provide a multi-year framework, so that cities and towns can improve the quality of our roadways and save taxpayer dollars,” said MMA Executive Director Geoff Beckwith. Transportation House chairman Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett) said the current $200 million is sufficient when combined with other state programs to help cities’ and towns’ infrastructure, including $50 million for small bridge repairs. (A "Yes" vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes 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. During the week of June 3-7, the House met for a total of six hours and 12 minutes while the Senate met for a total of three hours and 33 minutes Mon.

This is called a power of appointment. Powers of appointment are often included in Trust documents in order to create greater flexibility in a multigenerational estate plan. As an example, a husband may die leaving property in Trust for the benefit of his spouse. The terms of the Trust may provide that, upon the death of the surviving spouse, the remaining Trust principal will be distributed to the husband’s children. The terms of the Trust may also contain a power of appointment provision wherein the surviving spouse has the right to exercise this power of appointment via her Last Will and Testament thereby allowing her to redirect the ultimate distribution to only one child of the husband as opposed to all of his children and/ or the right to determine whether or not the Trust principal will be received outright or in further Trust. Another example would be if a daughter was named a lifetime income beneficiary of her parent’s living Trust. This Trust might contain a power of appointment provision allowing the daughter to exercise it via her Last Will and Testament. A specific provision must be included in her Will in order to exercise the power of appointment thereby appointing (distributing) the Trust principal to her spouse, her children, or even a charity. As part of the estate planning process, it is important to ascertain whether someone holds any such power of appointment as contained in a living trust (revocable or irrevocable) and, if so, to make sure that the power of appointment is exercised via the Last Will and Testament, if that person’s wish is to indeed exercise the power, or to at least confirm with the holder of the power that he or she does not wish to exercise the power. A power that may be exercised via one’s Last Will and Testament is referred to as a testamentary power of appointment. The holder of the power is also called the donee of the power or the power holder. The exercise of the power of appointment would occur once the Will is submitted to a probate court and allowed.
