A drive-thru option was also available for families who wished to stay in their vehicles. Starting on March 23, a second site will be open at the Whittier School to fully accommodate Everett’s 7,400 students.

We don’t know how long this is going to go,” she said. “We shouldn’t be worried about meetings.” As budget season was about to get underway, DiFlorio said her colleagues should be ready to put in additional time once the council is back in session. “If we have to meet every night, then we’ll meet every night,” she said, adding that there is little the council can do remotely other than have conference calls. “If we have to meet until two or three o’clock in the morning then we have to meet until two or three o’clock in the morning – that’s our job.” With several relatives in Italy, DiFlorio said the coronavirus was bound to make its way to the United States. “I knew eventually this would happen,” she said. CHA Everett working to keep up with COVID-19 “This is an odd virus, it moves fast.” Therefore, DiFlorio said it would be prudent to shut down “everything in Massachusetts.” “If Italy can do it, if France can do it, we can do it, too,” she said. Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone also underscored the seriousness of the pandemic. “We all need to do what we can to minimize exposure to and possible spread of the virus,” he said. “It is a very diffi cult time for everyone right now.” However, Capone raised concerns about waiting until April 27 to resume council meetings. “There may be monetary items that require attention sooner,” he said. “I am aware of at least one piece of business that needs to be addressed before that date: reappointment of department heads. Pursuant to our Charter, if we wait until April 27 the appointments renew automatically.” In addition to City Hall closing, the decision was made to close the Everett Public Schools until April 27. For Superintendent of Schools Priya Tahiliani, it was a decision that came nine days after she took the helm. “It was defi - nitely a daunting one,” she said. “Luckily, we made the decision collaboratively. We’re going to be reassessing as we go.” Tahiliani said those reassessments will be happening on a daily basis, adding that she and her colleagues will remain in close contact with State Education Commissioner Jeff rey Riley. “We’re on conference calls daily,” she said. Tahiliani could not predict how the end of the school year might play out if the virus does not loosen its grip. “I feel like the entire universe has changed,” she said. School Committee Vice Chairman Frank Parker said he does not expect any disruptions with the district’s budget process. “As far as the budget goes, a lot of prep has already been put into it from Central Administration, directors and building leaders so we are still moving forward,” he said. Parker also said the School Committee is planning to meet remotely on April 6, as Governor Charlie Baker has temporarily relaxed the Open Meeting Law. “All members can now participate remotely in meetings since the requirement for a quorum is suspended,” said Parker. “All votes will still be taken by roll call in remote meetings, and all other remote rules apply.” 505 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Tel: 617-387-1120 www.gkdental.com The Everett campus of Cambridge Health Alliance is continuing its eff orts to help thwart the spread of COVID-19, acting on recommendations from the U.S. Surgeon General and the American College of Surgeons. (Photo Courtesy of the Cambridge Health Alliance) By Christopher Roberson L ike so many other medical facilities throughout the Commonwealth, the Everett campus of the Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) continues to do its part to fi ght the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). “Responding to the spread of COVID-19 is an evolving situation and CHA has experts working around the clock to ensure that our information and treatment plans are up to date,” said CHA Everett Hospital spokesperson David Cecere. “We are using evidence-based practices to inform our decision-making around clinical care, use of personal protective equipment and social distancing and minimal exposure modalities. Staff and providers across CHA are working tirelessly to both provide all of our patients with the care they need and minimize the spread of the disease.” Cecere also said the hospital has been following the directives of U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams and the American College of Surgeons. “We are postponing all elective surgeries and procedures that had been scheduled in the operating rooms and other procedure suites,” he said. “Any patients needing emergency or urgent procedures or surgeries will not be rescheduled and will receive timely surgical care at CHA.” In addition, Cecere said all patients are being monitored for cough, fever and/ or shortness of breath, which are all classic symptoms of COVID-19. Visitor restrictions are also in effect at all CHA hospitals. As of March 19, the State Department of Public Health (DPH) reported 328 confi rmed cases of COVID-19 in Massachusetts. Within that figure, Middlesex County had the greatest number of cases at 119.

Please contact your local recreation manager for revised postponed scheduling accordingly. • While Cemetery Interment Services continue to operate, we ask that parties limit attendance to family only in accordance with the restrictions on gatherings of less than 25 individuals. • The Sanitation Division is currently allowing overflow bags to be placed neatly curbside. • Street sweeping will officially begin on April 1. To ease the burden of the residents during the street-sweeping season, the Mayor will continue his practice of strictly handing out warnings for the first two weeks of street sweeping as a leniency measure. Towing for violations will not occur until May 1. This leniency period will be reassessed as the date approaches based on the ongoing health-emergency. • It is important to note that there cannot be an overabundance of leniency for such enforcement actions, as overcrowded streets impede access to residents and disables street sweeping from properly occurring. Without street sweeping, the culverts can become overburdened, which can result in serious issues citywide. • We continue to work closely with the Mayor’s 311 Office on citywide work orders regarding potholes, trash and recycling, trees and sidewalks.

We will also be receiving two of the hand-held sprayers late next week and two backpack models soon after. • Facilities has met with Everett Fire Chief Tony Carli and his Hazmat Officer, Nick Russo, to discuss complete sanitization of all buildings.

Charlie Baker recently announced that his administration will file a package of legislation to help address challenges to municipal governance resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, including potential delays in holding town meetings and adopting municipal budgets for fiscal 2021. The legislation would: • Amend the existing statute that authorizes town moderators to postpone town meetings by 30 days during a “public safety emergency” by adding “public health emergency” as a reason that permits postponement. • Permit town boards of selectmen to postpone town meetings beyond the statutory June 30 deadline (end of fiscal year) when the governor has declared a state of emergency and conditions prevent the completion of a town meeting. • Permit boards of selectmen, at local option, to temporarily adopt lower quorum rules. • Permit continued month-tomonth spending into fiscal 2021 by towns based on the prior fiscal year budget with approval of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue’s Division of Local Services (DLS) during a state of emergency. The month-to-month authorization would continue so long as a state of emergency prevents the adoption of a budget. Cities have similar authority under existing state law. • Permit towns to access their free cash balance for fiscal 2021 spending with approval of DLS. This would be based on the July 2019 certified balance and could continue until a fiscal 2021 budget is adopted. • Permit municipal spending from revolving funds at the level set by their fiscal 2020 appropriation until a fiscal 2021 budget is adopted. • Authorize a three-year amorKiwanis Club welcomes guest speaker Vanessa Farino BAKER | SEE PAGE 16 tization period for deficit spending incurred as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. The default rule would require a fiscal 2021 tax rate to provide for one-year amortization, and this change would follow the 2015 precedent for snow removal costs. School and other closures Baker also announced a threeweek suspension of school operations for educational purposes at all public and private elementary and secondary (K-12) schools in the Commonwealth beginning Tuesday, March 17, as well as a number of other emergency actions. “We know that a lot of the measures we are putting into place, including mandatory school closures and prohibiting gatherings of 25 people or more, will cause disruption in people’s day-to-day lives,” Baker said. “With the steps we are taking today, we can ensure residents can still access key The Everett Kiwanis Club recently welcomed guest speaker Vanessa Farino to their Tuesday lunch recently.

A small group of staff members will remain at the casino to continue sanitization procedures and keep the property secure. ly to also close MGM Springfield and Plainridge Park Casino until the end of March. “As we all continue to navigate this unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, our agency and our licensees will remain in close consultation with public health authorities and government officials to determine safe protocols for resuming operation,” said Gaming Commission officials. “As we develop the appropriate course of action, we will keep you informed of next steps. This decision will be re-assessed in two weeks, while an orderly shutdown process is actively underway.” On March 12, the Gaming Commission learned that an individual who visited Encore on March 5 had tested positive for the virus. According to The Boston Globe, that patron was identified as Donovan Mitchell, a shooting basketball guard for the Utah Jazz. Mitchell visited the casino while he and his teammates were in Boston for their game against the Celtics on March 6. “Encore has reported that this individual was present at the casino for one hour and had contact while there with a small number of individuals, currently determined to be seven,” said Gaming Commission officials. “Encore has reported that all of these individuals have been identified and alerted. Additionally, Encore has reported that, out of an abundance of caution, all identified individuals have agreed to self-quarantine measures.” City councillors honor Stacia Gorgone Stacia Gorgone (center) was recognized on March 9 by the City Council for her work as Everett’s Animal Control Officer.

Per company policy, local managers couldn’t be interviewed or photographed. Fruci couldn’t say whether customers were friendlier because of the lull or hyped up out of fear. But she did say that they do their best to support customers while keeping them safe and healthy. Customer Ed Anglin, who said he didn’t feel any panic, said there was a shortage of white vinegar and cleaning supplies, but overall, that the store was in good shape. He just returned from Venezuela and noticed people coughing in the airports. Many Stop & Shop customers had masks on. As far as toilet paper and other necessities, Fruci went on to say that the store is in close contact with suppliers, and as soon as quantities become available to Stop & Shop, associates will work quickly to restock shelves and make them available to customers. “We’re also working swiftly to identify similar, alternative products and brands that may be available in the marketplace to ensure our customers have access to the items for which they are looking,” Fruci wrote. “In many cases, manufacturers are also ramping up productions.” The egg shelves were bare except for this sole container containing broken eggshells.

Stop & Shop announces reduced hours, special shopping times for elderly Special to Th e Advocate I n order to allow more time for associates to unload deliveries, stock shelves and better serve customers throughout the day, Stop & Shop has adjusted its hours of operation to 7:30 a.m.-8:00 p.m. at most stores beginning March 16. Eff ective on March 19, Stop & Shop has hours specifi cally geared to accommodate customers 60 and older. Stop & Shop stores will open from 6 a.m.-7:30 a.m. only for customers over the age of 60, who the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health offi cials say are the most vulnerable. Stop & Shop is making the decision to allow community members in this age category to shop in a less crowded environment, which better enables social distancing. Although Stop & Shop will not be requesting ID for entry, they request that we all respect the purpose of the early opening – and do the right thing for older neighbors. Stop & Shop will reserve the right to ask customers to leave if they are not a member of this age group. Stop & Shop is continuing to maintain high levels of hygiene and sanitation in its stores and online operations. The store is taking additional measures during this time, which include wiping down checkout areas, including the belts and pin pads, with disinfectant even more frequently. Stop & Shop will continue to follow guidance from the CDC to help keep its customers and associates safe.

What is coronavirus disease 2019? Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. Can I get COVID-19? Yes. COVID-19 is spreading from person to person in parts of the world. Risk of infection from the virus that causes COVID-19 is higher for people who are close contacts of someone known to have COVID-19, for example healthcare workers, or household members. Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live in or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19. Learn more about places with ongoing spread at https:// www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission. html#geographic. The current list of global locations with cases of COVID-19 is available on CDC’s web page at https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/locations-confirmed-cases.html. How does COVID-19 spread? The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source, but is now spreading from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.Learn what is known about the spread of newly emerged coronaviruses at https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html. What are the symptoms of COVID-19? Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of: • fever • cough • shortness of breath Some patients have pneumonia in both lungs, multi-organ failure and in some cases death. People can help protect themselves from respiratory illness with everyday preventive actions. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. If you are sick, to keep from spreading respiratory illness to others, you should • Stay home when you are sick. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. What should I do if I recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19? If you have traveled from an affected area, there may be restrictions on your movements for up to 2 weeks. If you develop symptoms during that period (fever, cough, trouble breathing), seek medical advice. Call the office of your health care provider before you go, and tell them about your travel and your symptoms. They will give you instructions on how to get care without exposing other people to your illness. While sick, avoid contact with people, don’t go out and delay any travel to reduce the possibility of spreading illness to others. Is there a vaccine? There is currently no vaccine to protect against COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to take everyday preventive actions, like avoiding close contact with people who are sick and washing your hands often. Is there a treatment? There is no specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19. People with COVID-19 can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms.

Stay home except to get medical care You should restrict activities outside your home, except for getting medical care. Do not go to work, school, or public areas. Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis. Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home People: As much as possible, you should stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. Also, you should use a separate bathroom, if available. Animals: Do not handle pets or other animals while sick. See COVID-19 and Animals for more information. Call ahead before visiting your doctor If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the healthcare provider’s office take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed. Wear a facemask You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) or pets and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then people who live with you should not stay in the same room with you, or they should wear a facemask if they enter your room. Cover your coughs and sneezes Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in a lined trash can; immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60-95% alcohol covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Soap and water should be used preferentially if hands are visibly dirty. Avoid sharing personal household items You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, or bedding with other people or pets in your home. After using these items, they should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Clean your hands often Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Soap and water should be used preferentially if hands are visibly dirty. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Clean all “high-touch” surfaces every day High touch surfaces include counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables. Also, clean any surfaces that may have blood, stool, or body fluids on them. Use a household cleaning spray or wipe, according to the label instructions. Labels contain instructions for safe and effective use of the cleaning product including precautions you should take when applying the product, such as wearing gloves and making sure you have good ventilation during use of the product. Monitor your symptoms Seek prompt medical attention if your illness is worsening (e.g., difficulty breathing). Before seeking care, call your healthcare provider and tell them that you have, or are being evaluated for, COVID-19. Put on a facemask before you enter the facility. These steps will help the healthcare provider’s office to keep other people in the office or waiting room from getting infected or exposed. Ask your healthcare provider to call the local or state health department. Persons who are placed under active monitoring or facilitated self-monitoring should follow instructions provided by their local health department or occupational health professionals, as appropriate. If you have a medical emergency and need to call 911, notify the dispatch personnel that you have, or are being evaluated for COVID-19. If possible, put on a facemask before emergency medical services arrive. Discontinuing home isolation Patients with confirmed COVID-19 should remain under home isolation precautions until the risk of secondary transmission to others is thought to be low. The decision to discontinue home isolation precautions should be made on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with healthcare providers and state and local health departments.

Rough inspections for Building, Electrical, Plumbing and Gas permits are proceeding normally; however, we are asking to limit contact during the inspection. Final Inspections are being prioritized to accommodate issuance of occupancy permits. All the above mentioned permits are available online with payment by credit card. We are actively seeking out those contractors who have chosen to work without permits. • Sanitary Code Enforcement inspectors are prioritizing inspections within dwelling units relating to imminent danger and life safety. All inspections involving the exterior of dwellings, nuisances, trash and structural elements are being conducted regularly. Minor infractions and habitability inspections within dwelling units have been curtailed to reduce exposure. We have stepped up our inspection and educational efforts with all restaurants and liquor establishments (consumption on premise), notifying each of Governor Charlie Baker’s orders. Our Serve Safe Certified sanitary inspectors have been delivering food to the elderly daily in conjunction with the Senior Center. • The clerical staff is mobilized with VPN access and is servicing customers in collaboration with members of the inspection teams. All phone calls coming into the office are being routed to the applicable inspector(s). Staff is returning calls for customer inquiries, answering questions and directing them in the use of our web portal; 311 Calls are followed up on as if the building were fully operational. All licensing (Food, CV, and Entertainment) applications and questions are being handled without delay, and preparations are being made for license renewal (2020). Demand letters for ticket payments are being processed (VPN), printed in office and sent daily. Paypal (credit card) reconciliation will happen weekly in conjunction with the Treasurer’s Office. Daily conference calls are being held with the clerical staff to facilitate production. Zoning Board and Licensing Board ads, notifications, agendas and minutes continue to be a priority. We have been receiving and sending documents via email to our development community. • The Wire Department is fully operational, responding to any street or traffic lighting issues as well as continuing to make improvements in municipal buildings. A work order system has been set up by Rich Connors to allow members of the city government to request repairs and improvements. The Dept. recently took delivery of a new bucket truck to allow for replacement and repairs of street lighting. IT/MIS Kevin Dorgan – Director of IT – Kevin.Dorgan@ ci.everett.ma.us | (617) 394-2289 • The IT Department has worked closely with every department and employee to rapidly transition our workforce to being able to carry out all functions of City Hall without physically being in City Hall, without compromising network or data security. Mayor Carlo DeMaria was way ahead of the curve on this mandate for social distancing, realizing that this must be done before virtually any other city had even contemplated this being necessary, and that it must be done immediately to be effective. IT managed to get all employees responsible for vital services working remotely by the beginning of our next business day, and by the end of that day all employees in every department were able to carry out their responsibilities from home. This includes Constituent Services, who are able to take, log and process calls to 311 remotely, providing uninterrupted information to city residents. At this time all daily functions of City Hall are up and running.

Although MVES has temporarily suspended its home visitation service, staff members continue to be available over the phone. “Our staff is working either in the office or remotely and can reach out to our consumers at any point and our consumers can reach their care manager when needed,” said Middleton. “Our care managers are calling them on a regular basis to assess their well-being and need for services.” state services while taking necessary precautions to limit the spread of COVID-19.” The suspension of educational programming would not necessarily affect the availability of school buildings for the provision of food or other essential noneducational services. The administration will provide additional guidance as the end of the closure approaches. The administration said it is “critical” that students and their families, as well as school staff, stay home as much as possible and strictly follow social distancing guidelines. School staff are urged to plan for “how best to equitably provide alternative access to student learning opportunities during this period and potentially beyond.” School personnel are also urged to find ways to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that families have access to essential nonacademic services for their children – particularly special education and food services. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will work with school districts to develop strategies and resources to sustain learning and vital services throughout this closure period. DESE has received a partial waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture providing greater flexibility regarding food service in certain districts with higher concentrations of low-income students, and DESE is pursuing additional waivers for the remaining schools and districts. All nonemergency state employees working in Executive Branch agencies were told not to report to their workplaces on March 16 and 17. The administration is working to expand alternative work arrangements for the Executive Branch workforce and develop plans to continue to provide essential state government services. All commercial insurers, self-insured plans and the Group Insurance Commission are required to cover medically necessary telehealth services related to COVID-19 testing and treatment. Insurers must do so without requiring cost-sharing of any kind, such as copays and coinsurance, for testing and treatment. Additionally, insurers cannot require prior authorization for these services. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Fire chief vows to press on in face of COVID-19 Dear Editor: As the Everett Fire Department continues to monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic that we are facing as a nation, we want to assure our community that the Everett Fire Department will continue to respond to any and all emergency calls. A priority that I have as Everett’s Fire Chief is to make sure the members of the Everett Fire Department are able to provide the utmost professional emergency response, but in order to do that, first and foremost I need to ensure that my department remains healthy and safe throughout any and all events. Please be aware when calling dispatch for any emergency you may be asked additional questions to reduce the potential exposures to our members. I would also like to notify the public that for the time being, the Everett Fire Department is suspending all fire station visits and apparatus tours to protect our members and visitors. This includes visits from family members of our department, as well.

Especially in a crisis, the business of running the government and delivering public services must go on, and the week ahead will begin to show how government functions — or fails to perform — in this unprecedented environment and state of emergency. In a matter of days, the public debate has shifted from solving transportation, housing and health care problems to topics like social distancing, quarantines, presumptive positive COVID-19 cases and community spread. For now, coronavirus is the new agenda. «It’s hard to believe and it’s certainly disappointing and upsetting, I think, for everybody,» Gov. Charlie Baker said Friday, announcing a ban on most gatherings of more than 250 people. «And this does represent a signifi cant change in daily life for the vast majority of people here in the commonwealth.» The quiet halls of government buildings and offices, empty campuses and the quiet skies and open roads belie the tumult the virus is actually causing. Impacts on the jobs, state revenues and family budgets, the tourism and higher education sectors, and high-stakes campaigns like the presidential race and the Joe Kennedy-Ed Markey U.S. Senate primary are only just beginning to come into focus.» WHAT IS MASSTERLIST?

Beacon Hill Roll Call records votes of local representatives from recent debate on transportation funding. There were no roll calls in the House Senate last week. TAX ON ROLLING STOCK (H 4508) House 13-141, rejected an amendment that would strike a section of the bill that would exempt from the current sales and use tax “rolling stock” which includes trucks, tractors and trailers used by common carriers to transport goods in interstate commerce. These vehicles were exempt from these taxes until 1996 when the Legislature removed the exemption and started taxing them again. Rep. Tami Gouveia (D-Acton), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to explain why she proposed keeping the tax on rolling stock. “The repeal of the rolling stock exemption in 1996 created negative repercussions for the interstate trucking industry that are still being felt today,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading) who favors the tax exemption. “Changing these tax policies will allow Massachusetts to attract and retain a signifi cant number of good-paying jobs in this industry while encouraging more interstate trade by local companies. An exemption would also provide important environmental benefi ts by encouraging companies to invest in cleaner vehicles with more fuel effi ciency and higher emissions standards, resulting in improved air quality throughout the commonwealth.” (The roll call is on “striking the tax exemption.” Therefore a “Yes” vote is for the sales and use tax on rolling stock. A “No” vote is against the tax.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No STUDY RAISED PLATFORMS ON THE T (H 4506) House 148-5 approved an amendment directing the MBTA to conduct a fi nancial impact study by December 31, 2020 on the feasibility of all platforms on commuter rail stops converting to fully raised platforms with handicap access at every train door. Amendment supporters said this no-cost study is important to show that the T should provide handicapped accessibility on all doors for all passengers. They noted that with a raised platform, people do not stop and wait to climb stairs and argued that according to the T, it will save roughly 1.5 minutes to two minutes per stop. They said that millions of riders who would save this time would instead use the time for working and helping earn more for the economy or be at home having a higher quality of life. Some opponents of the amendment said they support the full platforms. “I didn’t think we needed to study the idea, I think we should have moved forward with changes,” said Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) one of only five members to vote against the study. (A “Yes” vote is for the study. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes MEET BEYOND 9 P.M. House 125-26, approved, at 8:59 p.m. a motion to suspend rules to allow the House session to continue beyond 9 p.m. Under House rules, the House cannot meet after 9 p.m. unless the rule is suspended. The session lasted another two hours and was adjourned at 11 p.m. Supporters of rule suspension said that the House has important business to fi nish and should stay in session to work on it. Opponents of rule suspension said it is irresponsible for the House to debate and vote late at night when taxpayers are asleep. (A “Yes” vote is for meeting beyond 9 p.m. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle 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 fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 9-13, the House met for a total of fi ve hours and 31 minutes while the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and eight minutes. Mon.

My mother died from kidney failure 10 years ago at age 74 but didn’t know she had a kidney problem until it was too late. Just Turned 60 Dear 60, Anyone who has a family history of kidney disease, or who has high blood pressure or diabetes is at increased risk and needs to have their kidneys tested. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, around 37 million U.S adults have chronic kidney disease (when the kidneys can’t properly do their job of cleaning toxins and wastes from the blood), and millions more are at risk of developing it, yet most people don’t realize it. That’s because kidney disease develops very slowly over many years before any symptoms arise. But left untreated, the disease can eventually require people to spend hours hooked up to a dialysis machine or get a kidney transplant. Even mild kidney problems can double a person’s risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as cause anemia and bone disease. The reason kidney disease has become so widespread today is because of the rise of obesity, type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure which all strain the kidneys. Another factor is the increasing number of people who take multiple medications, which can overtax the organs. People over age 60 are especially vulnerable both because they tend to take more drugs, and because kidney function normally declines somewhat with age. Get Tested Because kidney disease has no early symptoms, the only way to catch it before it advances is to have a simple blood and urine test by your doctor. So, anyone that has diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, a family history of kidney disease, or is age 60 or older needs to get tested. African, Hispanic, Asian and Indian Americans along with Pacifi c Islanders are also at increased risk. If you’re diagnosed with kidney disease you need to know that there’s no cure, but there are steps you can take to help contain the damage, including: Control your blood pressure: If you have high blood pressure, get it under 130/80. If you need medication to do it, ACE inhibitors and ARBs are good choices because of their proven ability to protect the kidneys. Control your diabetes: If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible. Change your diet: This usually means reducing the amount of protein and phosphorus you eat and cutting back on sodium and possibly potassium. Your doctor can help you determine an appropriate eating plan, or you may want to talk to a dietitian. Watch your meds: Dozens of commonly used drugs can damage the kidneys, especially when taken in high doses over long periods – most notably NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen. Herbal supplements can also be very dangerous. Talk to your doctor about all the prescription, over the counter and herbal products you take to identify potential problems and fi nd alternatives. Exercise and lose weight: If you’re overweight and inactive, start an aerobic fi tness routine (walk, swim, cycle, etc.) that gets your heart pumping. This will help lower blood pressure, control diabetes and help you lose excess weight all of which will help your kidneys. Quit smoking: If you smoke, quit. Heart disease becomes a much greater risk to the kidneys if your smoke. Smoking also doubles the rate of progression to end-stage renal failure. Limit alcohol intake: Drinking too much alcohol can worsen kidney disease too, so talk to your doctor to see if it’s safe for you to drink, and if so, limit yourself to no more than one drink per day.
