CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 Hole Oceanographic Institution and Coastal Zone Management to discuss flooding problems from the marsh and short- and long-term strategies for protecting their homes. They last met on Feb. 2, 2025. The project focuses on the area of Pearl, Crystal and Winthrop Avenues and Summer Street, which experiences chronic flooding from the marsh. The team of scientists leading the project have been showing residents maps that predict where severe flooding will occur. The scientists are also relying on data, photos and video collected from Beachmont residents. According to Kirsten Homeyer, resiliency manager for the North Suffolk Office of Resiliency and Sustainability, the goal is to identify short-term actions and long-term solutions the city and residents can work together on to prepare for the future. After showing maps that identify specifically which homes and parcels are likely to experience fl ooding, the scientists invited questions. One resident who said he had lived in the neighborhood for years asked if any thought had been given to some type of damming structure in the main channel to prevent water from flowing into the marsh and then the neighborhood. According to Corner Austin, a coastal scientist from Woods Hole, a storm surge barrier has been discussed but the feasibility is diffi cult because of the cascading effects. Belle Isle salt marsh is one of the last remaining wetlands in Boston Harbor; everything else has been fi lled in and developed. The marsh, a reservation managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), is considered a critical resource for the state. It’s valuable because of the species of birds, mammals, fish and insects and rare habitats that exist there. A member of the team explained that the marsh is a finely tuned environment that is sensitive to even small changes in water levels, and a fl ood gate or storm-surge barrier would cause an unacceptable impact to the marsh. Also, there are other ways for water to fl ow into the neighborhood, such as Chelsea Creek, Revere Beach and Winthrop parkways, so it wouldn’t be eff ective. Justine Rooney, of Woods Hole, added that the permitting process for a fl ood gate is long, and it’s expensive. “We want to look at nearterm projects with lower costs,†said Rooney, who then suggested sandbags, as a smaller adaptation that could reduce some fl ooding. Rooney said sandbagging wouldn’t work on just one individual property. Instead, it would take a stretch of around eight properties with sandbags to prevent fl ooding. That theme of neighborhood unity and cooperation ran through the meeting, with scientists praising residents for sharing information about safe places to park cars and weather reports with one another. Neighborhood collaboration is seen as a signifi cant asset in establishing resilience. “It’s great to see there’s such a strong bond between neighbors,†said Homeyer. “I think that’s unique to this neighborhood.†Toward the end of the meeting, one participant suggested that the cost of any fl ood mitigation project should be split 50-50 between residents and the City of Revere because residents choose to live near the water. The next step for the project is to do a cost-benefi t analysis of solutions and adaptations. During the month of April, the team will analyze short-term and long-term solutions. Another community meeting will be held in May, and a fi nal report on the project will be released in June.

The collaborative was launched in 2016 in response to data that showed its three members, Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop had higher incidences of chronic illness than the rest of the state. By teaming up, the three communities have been able to share resources and staff and increase services for residents. The collaborative made it possible to hire an additional public health nurse to work in all three communities and it increased the accessibility of vaccines for residents, with a particular emphasis on childhood vaccinations. They are also responsible for a regional public health assessment that helps identify the area’s most in need of services. Past assessments have identifi ed opioid addiction and childhood obesity as areas of concern. Keppard said the 2025 assessment will be available soon. Keppard said the collaborative is funded by the state through the Public Health Excellence Grant. He wanted to explain to the board that one of its members would be asked to serve on a leadership team that would further direct the collaborative’s work and efforts. Presently, the mayors of Revere and Chelsea and the town manager of Winthrop serve in those roles. In addition to looking at how the collaborative uses it funding and hires its staff ; the new team of health offi - cials will be tasked with assuring all three communities are in compliance with state public health laws.

Upon returning from the national DECA competition last year, three of the DECA Chapter’s nine vice presidents decided to team up to work toward increasing the chapter’s membership. Vice Presidents Taylen Livingston, a junior from Revere, Jainer Reyes, a junior from Revere, and Matthew Correia, a junior from Wakefi eld, pushed to recruit more exploratory freshmen and Business Technology students to join the chapter. Those eff orts were extremewww.810bargrille.com ly successful and boosted the chapter’s membership from approximately 50 to 70 students. Meanwhile, DECA members launched a fourth School Based Enterprise (SBE) during the 2023-2025 school year, as a branch of the Reading Cooperative Bank opened at Northeast Metro Tech. DECA Chapter leadership has decided to focus on building more SBEs at Northeast Metro Tech in the coming year and to write papers about the SBEs for statewide and national DECA competitions. The chapter has also embarked on a number of campaigns, including community service projects within the school, and selling T-shirts to raise breast cancer awareness, and donating the proceeds to local hospitals. As a result, the chapter earned two seats in the Thrive Academy at the DECA International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida later this year. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, 65 of the chapter’s members participated in district-level DECA competitions, engaging in role plays, developing Business Growth Plans for studentowned businesses, and writing student management papers, among other activities. A total of 44 Northeast Metro Tech DECA members qualifi ed for state competitions by fi nishing in the top fi ve in their district-level competitions.

Keefe Jr. and Chief of Police David J. Callahan travelled to Providence, Rhode Island to participate in a New England meeting of Mayors and city Police Chiefs on best practices in city-level public safety and eff ective policing. Forty Mayors and Police Chiefs attended the meeting, hosted by Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM). “Assembling with such an esteemed panel of Mayors and Police Chiefs is always benefi cial to share best practices and work collaboratively on regional strategies to common challenges we all face,†commented Mayor Keefe. He continued, “A sincere thank you to Mayor Smiley and his staff for the warm reception, Providence is fortunate to have such leadership.†During the meeting, New England Mayors and Police Chiefs discussed and collaborated on best practices for addressing a variety of issues related to public safety and eff ective policing, as well as building relationships between local government and law enforcement. Key issues included reducing gun violence, addressing recruitment and retention challenges, policing in the new federal environment, responding to increasing incidents of hate and violent extremism across the nation, and effective overdose prevention strategies. The meeting comes as cities continue to make important progress on safety, with many seeing declines in homicides, other violent crime and property crimes over the last few years. Strengthening public safety has always been a top priority for Mayors, and recent progress on reducing crime illustrates that the work being done at the local level to make cities safer is paying off .

Children 12 and under are admitted free. Also on the concert program is the First Essay for Orchestra by American composer Samuel Barber. Rachmaninoff, renowned for his works for piano, wrote three symphonies, with some 40 years separating the first and third. Critics claimed that the Third was too much a “modern†piece and it was not well-received by audiences. Over the years, however, Rachmaninoff ’s Third Symphony has earned its place in the symphonic Repertoire for its orchestral color. Ravel, well-known his aff ection for children and animals, originally wrote a piano suite for four hands based on the famous Mother Goose stories in 1908 and four years later wrote the Orchestration. The imaginative, medodic music evokes the wonderment of the characters “Pavane for Sleeping Beautyâ€, Tom Thumb, the Laideronette—Empress of the Pagodas, “Beauty and the Beastâ€, and, fi nally, a celebration of nature in The Enchanted Garden. Barber wrote the Essay for Orchestra in 1937— (it was later retitled “First Essay for Orchestra)—apparently at the invitation to the celebrated Italian conductor Arturo Toscannini, who conducted the fi rst performance with the NBC Symphony Orchestra in a program that included Barber’s now-famous “Adagio for Strings.†The Essay form of musical composition develops a complex and thoughtful work from a single thesis. The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra is playing its 76th season. Staff ed largely by volunteer players, the NSPO is committed to providing aff ordable access to quality classical music. The Orchestra strives to develop, train, and provide opportunities for young musicians, while providing a large range of programs covering the full range of symphonic and pops repertoire for a diverse public.

I thought as a Democrat. I spoke like a Democrat. I worked on many Democratic political campaigns. I learned my politics as a boy growing up in Boston’s South End and Roxbury on the same neighborhood streets that fourtime mayor, one-time governor, two-time congressman James Michael Curley knew as his own. The only diff erence is that he was born 74 years before me. He was defi nitely Irish as they came. I was a traditional Boston mix, half Sicilian and half Irish. I met Curley once back in 1955 when he was running for Boston mayor at age 81. He lost but fought to the end. He asked me what I wanted to be and I said a politician. He laughed at that one. He knew my mother was Charlestown Irish and told me he always wanted to be IrishItalian just to get more votes. I laughed at that one. I have at short points of time registered as a Republican but mostly didn’t trust them either. I ended up finally in 2020 changing my party status to unenrolled where I have stayed put. I now vote for the person and the issues. I recently observed that a number of elected Democratic offi cials showed up at NeighborHood PACE in Revere where everyone one of them were tearing President Trump apart and directing criticism toward a proposed federal funding freeze that had been rescinded prior to the previously scheduled press conference. All the usual Democratic suspects were there hooting and hollering at Trump’s spending freeze idea. You know, the one I said had been rescinded before anyone took to the mic at the aforementioned press conference. All the pols took turns at the podium expressing displeasure with the funding freeze idea that would aff ect funding for “critical public services including Medicaid, Head Start and community care centers,†except that the proposed cuts wouldn’t be doing any of that. US Rep. Katherine Clark added, “Nurses and doctors would stop getting paid, appointments would be cancelled... and 80 million people would lose access to Medicaid, access to healthcare. US Rep. Ayanna Pressley, not to be outdone, stated, “This will not be the last time they try to rip away essential resources from our communities.†Back a few years when the Dept. of Justice seemed to be engaged in “lawfare†with Rudy Giuliani, he remarked when asked by a reporter about the charges being thrown at him. Were they speaking the truth about him or not? and his response was, “There’s the truth and then there’s the truth.†Of course, everyone from the Democratic side including their sycophant media allies all ridiculed his answer. However, was he really that wrong? As I listened to the words at this recent press conference, all I heard was repetitive spinning of what was “really†happening and the impact it would be having on actual services and actual citizens in need of medical care and needing their doctors’ appointments. None of them actually were lying but they were all spinning the narrative they sought to deliver for the media’s consumption. Lots of misleading information which only can increase the chaos they said Trump’s memo was doing. No politician actually lies, they just spin on an angle of their choosing. You know, the older I get the angrier I get with all politicians who seemingly love to hear themselves speak, and when their speaking stops, most of them say nothing and we all get more cynical with age because we’ve heard it all so much in our lives. Both parties play the same games. Everyone wants to be viewed as the hero in this passion play that they obviously are holding starring roles. I usually have been voting Republican over the past few election cycles since the Democrats have all seemingly gone pazzo. President Trump is far from perfect but compared to Joe Biden, Trump is Washington, Jeff erson, Lincoln and Reagan all wrapped into one but of course, even he stretches the truth beyond recognition more than once or twice.

Thimothee, who owns his own clothing line, GGT, earned 2nd Place in the competition, and will now compete at the state level. (Courtesy Northeast Metro Tech) Among the most compelling stories of students who competed at districts, are the stories of: Gemma Morse, freshman, of Melrose, and Giselle Fulcar Cardona, freshman, of Revere — Gemma, who has hearing loss and uses a hearing aid, and a freshman peer, Giselle, both expressed interest in DECA and participating in a district-level role play. They teamed up to prepare a role play in Law and Ethics. While both were still in their exploratory weeks, Gemma and Giselle began staying after school to work with their adviser on a crash course in both economics and business law. Their determination led them to a 1st Place fi nish at district competitions, with judges commenting that they thought both young women were juniors or seniors because of the poise they showed. Luciana Gutierrez Vanegas, sophomore, of Revere — Luciana is an English Language Learner who is still mastering the English language, but that didn’t stop her from teaming up with another Spanish speaking classmate to write a 20-page International Business Plan in English. Luciana recently emigrated from Colombia, so she used her knowledge of her home country to write Shown from left, Nikolas Lacerda, of Revere, Kashayla Valentin, of Melrose, and Janely Lizardo, of Chelsea, stand together after winning 4th Place in Project Management Financial Literacy at the district-level DECA competitions.

Luciana and her partner earned a 1st Place fi nish in the district competition, and will now compete at the state level. Godson Thimothee, sophomore, of Malden — Godson planned to pursue a role play in DECA competition when he first joined the chapter, but DECA Chapter Advisor JaimeLyn Pickles found out Godson owns his own clothing brand, GGT, and encouraged him to compete by writing Business Growth Plan paper, which requires students to own their own business in order to compete. Over the fall, Godson worked on addressing logistical issues that impacted his business inventory, and then he began seeking local infl uencers to help hype his clothing brand. At district competition, Godson fi nished in 2nd Place and secured a spot in state competition. Feka Desir, junior, of Melrose, Rock Edouard, senior, of Malden, and Miracula Pierre Jules, junior, of Malden — Feka, Rock and Miracula co-own a businss called Vivid Beauty together, and fi nished in the top 10 last year at DECA state competition. As a result, Feka applied for a DECA-affiliated program at the University of Michigan, and ended up earning an all expenses paid tour of the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. Feka, Rock and Miracula competed at the DECA district competition again this year and fi nished in 5th Place, which earned them a trip to once again compete in the state competition. “I’m pleased to see the growth and success of the Northeast Metro Tech DECA Chapter,†said Superintendent DiBarri. “DECA is a respected international organization that helps Business Technology students grow, break barriers, and achieve their full potential. Our students who participate in DECA competitions have a lot to be proud of, and they are learning new lessons as they go. It’s a wonderful club and program.†׉ Ú7cassandra://9crwkZEeaYRYvJKLJ_JsQtzqIql_EalixS3xhdqmqO0Í3áÍ`ÌÔÍ×g®,u×05Œ $׉EÚ THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2025 Page 9 RHS Patriots Girls’ Varsity Basketball team honored on Senior Night Revere High School Patriots Girls’ Basketball team shared collegiate plans during Senior Night.

The plan was to pick up points as the meet went on and to fi nish strong in the relays.†The fi nal three events of the meet are relays, where Revere outscored the Highlanders, 2816. Those points in the relays were crucial to the win. “Over the past few years, we graduated several superstars like JV Cunha, Medy Bellemsieh and Sami El Asri. In many ways, this is a new group,†Fleming said. “They blended really nicely with veterans like Isaiah DeCrosta and Kenan Batic, who came up under Coach Sam Ros. It was exciting to see what they were able to accomplish this season.†Each athlete participates in up to three events only, including relays. Jeremy X, junior captain, scored 14.5 points. He was fourth in the 55-meter dash and second in the 300-meter and anchored the 4x200-meter relay team to a win. “Jeremy’s a complete professional and can absolutely fl y,†Fleming said. “He was less than a half-inch away from a win in the 300. He’s so fun to watch on the track.†Youness Chahid, senior, scored a team-high 24 points and finished second in the 1,000-meter, mile and 2-mile. “Youness was a workhorse in this meet,†Fleming said. “I can’t say enough about his perforGBL CHAMPS: The Revere High School Girls Track Team after its Greater Boston League championship meet victory at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston.

He’s an exceptional great athlete, he works hard and always wants to get better,†Fleming said. “And he’s just a sophomore. He’ll be a force next season.†The Revere 4x200-meter team of Oliver Escobar (junior), Kepler Celamy (junior), Anthony Pelatere (freshman) and Jeremy X took fi rst place. This team qualified for the state meet. Pelatere is only a freshman. “As he’s done all season, Oliver rocketed out to the lead and handed to Kepler, who ran his best relay leg of the season,†Fleming said. “Anthony ran a hugely important third leg fighting off other teams to keep the lead. And once he handed it to Jeremy, we knew it was all over.†The 4x800-meter relay team of Kenan Batic (captain), Edwin Alacron, Mo Fares (captain) and Adam Ourazzouk took fi rst place. Revere saved Batic and Fares specifi cally for the 4x800. “Kenan and Edwin got us out to a big lead,†he said. “Mo and Adam held on strong for the win.†On the girls side, Revere came into the meet with a goal to back up its undefeated season with a win. And they did it, scoring 126 points. “It was a tough meet with the score going back and forth with Somerville the whole time until we really pulled away at the end,†Revere coach Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “We were also battling some sickness and injuries throughout the team so it was really a full team eff ort to crank this out.†Liv Yuong went three for three again to be the GBL Champion in all three of her events (high jump, long jump, 55-meter hurdles).

Finally, she topped off her 30-point night with a 4-10 jump to win the high jump. Gemma Stamatopoulos took home 26 points for the team with two first-place finishes and a third-place fi nish. She continued her undefeated GBL run in the 600-meter (1:43.72), taking fi rst place as GBL champion. This was a whole three seconds faster than the second-place runner. She then came back to take the GBL title in the 2-mile (13:46.81), an event that she does not commonly run but is always willing to step into to gain some team points. She then took 3rd in the high jump after running the 2-mile. “Jumping 4-6 on tired legs is not easy,†MacDonald-Ciambelli said, “and Gemma still manages to handle the multiple events every race.†Revere’s fi nal GBL championship team was the 4x800-meter relay team of Gigi Zierten, Gianna Chiodi, Zizi Kalliavas and Olivia Rupp. This team ran a whole eight seconds faster than its closest competitor. “It’s also important to mention that Gianna and Zizi are brand new to the 800-meter and really stepped up for the team here when we were faced with illness and injury,†MacDonaldCiambelli said. “Zizi, a truly exceptional freshman, ran this 4x800-meter and then came back to run a 4x400-meter with only about six minutes to recover. That 4x400-meter relay quartet took third overall so Zizi came away with two medals. So proud of her.†On top of her stellar anchor leg of the 4x800-meter relay, Rupp took two massive second-place fi nishes for the team in the mile and 1,000-meter. She ran a 5:42.82 mile, which bested her previous PR by another two seconds and qualifi ed her for Division 1 states. She then came back to take second place in the 1,000-meter (3:26.55), running only one second off her lifetime PR. “It’s clear that Olivia is at peak physical fi tness right here and should be able to break that 5:40 mark at states,†her coach said. Francoise Kodjo took second place in the shotput with a massive PR throw of 28-3.5. This tops her previous PR by almost a full foot. Third-place finishes included Zierten in the mile (6:17.05) and Basma Sahibi in the 55-meter hurdles (9.86). Zierten was only one second off her lifetime PR, and Sahibi set a new PR in the 55-meter hurdles by over.5 seconds.

Danni then came back to lead off the 4x400-meter relay with minimal rest in between. Dayana Ortega also was added to both the 4x200meter and 4x400-meter teams at the last minute and helped us secure those crucial 12 points.†MacDonald-Ciambelli noted what an absolutely incredible season it’s been. Beyond the winning, it’s been a special season — paying tribute to a loss in the Revere school and track communities. “I wanted to point out that the girls have been wearing pins on their uniforms this year in remembrance of former RHS track coach Peter DiGiulio who passed away in December. Peter was not only my track coach, but so many of the girls knew him through his time in the school system and his time as a track offi cial.

The Patriots have shown resilience and defensive tenacity, showcasing their “#RevereTough†mentality in recent games, as Coach Ariana Rivera put it. In their latest win against the Highlanders, Revere struggled in the fi rst half, particularly on the boards. Somerville capitalized on second-chance opportunities, leading to a 25-20 halftime defi cit. “We came out in the second half with some more urgency and showcased what it means to be ‘#RevereTough,’†Rivera said. “We interrupted their off ense with lock-down defense and protecting the paint at all costs. Somerville had a couple of strong rebounders and most of their points had come from off ensive boards in the fi rst half. We adjusted and were able to gain momentum.†The Patriots made key adjustments at halftime, ramping up their defensive intensity and shutting down Somerville’s off ensive rhythm. Senior captain Marwa Riad and junior Shayna Smith spearheaded the defensive eff ort, combining for 15 rebounds while taking on Somerville’s top scorers. “They were instructed to take these players out of their groove,†Rivera said, “and they did exactly that. Great showcase of owning their roles on the court.†On the off ensive side, senior captain Belma Velic delivered win backed “Captain Lea Doucette had one of her best games this season,†Rivera said. “She chipped in with eight points and had an unmatched spark off the bench.†A major factor in the victory was Revere’s discipline with the ball, limiting turnovers to under 12. “We valued the basketball and played our game,†Rivera said. “We did not let Somerville dictate our off ense or defense, and we came up with the win.†With the GBL league split into two separate groups, Revere’s fi rst matchups against Chelsea, Lynn English, Somerville and Everett count toward their league record. However, second matchups against those teams only aff ect their overall record.

Senior Nisrin Sekkat took charge of the off ense at point guard, adding 15 points, while captain Lea Doucette provided a much-needed spark off the bench with eight points. down, Rivera’s squad will look to carry this momentum forward with an emphasis on defensive intensity, rebounding and disciplined off ensive execution. If the Patriots continue to defend at this level and control the boards, it can compete with anyone, Rivera said. Revere as of last week’s MIAA power rankings sat at No. 43 in the 55-team Division 1 bracket.

You can claim this tax credit if you are fi ling single, head of household or married fi ling joint on your tax return. Your dependent child must be under age 13 as of December 31, 2024. With respect to a dependent age 65 or older as of December 31, 2024, that would not include you or your spouse. The tax credit to claim on your Massachusetts return is $440 for each qualifying individual. There is no limit to the number of qualifi ed individuals that you can claim the tax credit for. This represents an increase over the calendar year 2023 tax credit which was $310 per individual. If you are a Massachusetts non-resident fi ling a non-resident Massachusetts income tax return, you cannot claim this tax credit. Part year residents can claim the credit and must calculate the tax credit he or she is qualifi ed for based upon the number of days living in Massachusetts. A dependent or spouse with a disability is an individual who is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself or herself and who principally lives with the taxpayer for more than half of the taxable year. Taxpayers need to keep this tax credit in mind as many spouses are caring for a spouse who might be stricken with a disability such as dementia or a physical disability and requires a signifi cant amount of time in home health care from his or her spouse. This is also a refundable tax credit so even if you your total tax is zero and you had no withholdings from wages or pension income, for example, you would still be able to receive a refund based upon the tax credit as calculated on your Massachusetts income tax return. This is the second year that Massachusetts has provided for such a tax credit. It is a big help to taxpayers caring for children, parents or disabled individuals or spouses. This is in addition to the increase in the circuit breaker tax credit available to taxpayers age 65 or older, which is now up to $2,730. It was $2,400 in 2023 and only $1,200 in 2022. Joseph D.

There were no roll Calls in the Senate last week. $425 MILLION FOR SHELTER SYSTEM (H 57) House 126-26, approved and sent to the Senate a fi scal 2025 supplemental budget that includes $425 million to fund the state’s family shelter system and make some changes to tighten eligibility. The vote was almost strictly along party lines with all Repubicans voting against it and all but two Democrats voting for it. The Democrats say the measure makes major reforms while the GOP says the bill does not go far enough. “From the beginning of the shelter system crisis, the House has worked to reform the emergency assistance program to ensure that it remains fi nancially viable,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “That’s why the House led the eff ort to cap the maximum length of stay, and to require job training programs for folks in the shelter system, reforms that this supplemental budget builds on. By creating stricter eligibility requirements, along with increased security measures, this supplemental budget is the latest iteration of the House’s continued commitment to protecting vulnerable children and families in Massachusetts in a fi scally sustainable manner.†“Over the past several years, as the population of the emergency shelter system has grown, the House has attempted to uphold the commonwealth’s right to shelter law while also being mindful of the long-term fi scal sustainability of the program,†said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “The reforms contained in this bill will ensure that right to shelter is maintained by further capping the length of stay and verifying eligibility, while also enacting stricter background checks on those who enter the shelter system to better protect the families who need these services the most.†“I voted against [the bill] because Massachusetts cannot continue pouring taxpayer money into the emergency shelter system without implementing real, lasting reforms,†said Rep. Steven Xiarhos (RBarnstable). “As a former police offi cer with 40 years of experience, I know fi rsthand how proper criminal background checks should be conducted, and the simple CORI check outlined in this bill doesn’t even come close. Without comprehensive background screenings at the state, federal and international levels, we risk compromising public safety and failing to protect the communities we serve.†“Though there were some small reforms to the shelter system, they were only temporary and fell far short of what was necessary to address the problems associated with the program,†said Rep. Joseph McKenna (R-Sutton). “Without substantial and permanent reforms, many of which were proposed by Republican î€ î€‚î€‰î€ˆî€„    î€ î€—î€’î€‘î€î€Žî€”î€î€–î€ î€˜î€¯î€¯î€˜î€šî€¡î€œî€› î€î€²î€«î€¥î€œî€µ   î€î€œî€˜î€°î€²î€¬î€¢î€©î€                     î€î€§î€ªî€ªî€¬î€¢î€©î€ î€„            î€î€¥î€ªî€ªî€¬           î€î€ªî€¬    î€î€¦î€ªî€ªî€¬î€£î€©î€ î€…    î€î€¢î€©î€£î€®î€¡î€œî€›   î€î€žî€œî€¬î€® î€î€Ÿî€¢î€šî€œ  î€î€œî€¥î€œî€šî€¯î€¬î€¢î€š       î€î€¥î€ªî€ªî€¬î€£î€©î€        î€î€œî€©î€šî€¢î€©î€ î€„                 î€î€œî€šî€¯î€¦î€¶     amendments that were unfortunately rejected out of hand without even cursory consideration, this was not a bill that will adequately address the long-term financial stability of the EA shelter program, so was not a bill I could support.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes BROADER BACKGROUND CHECKS (H 57) House 26-125, rejected an amendment that would expand the background checks that the state must conduct on emergency assistance shelter applicants by mandating universal criminal background checks that include criminal records at the state, federal and international levels; immigration or residency status; and presence on international or domestic criminal watch lists. “While the underlying bill requires individuals applying for emergency assistance housing benefi ts to disclose prior criminal convictions and calls for CORI checks to be conducted prior to placement, these checks are limited to crimes committed in Massachusetts,†said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “If we are serious about keeping dangerous criminals out of the shelter system, then we need to strengthen the background check requirement and mandate more comprehensive universal background checks that will disclose criminal records not only at the state level, but also at the federal and international levels.†Rep. Michael Day (D-Stoneham) said that the amendment was an attempted Republican “backdoor†to “strangle our emergency shelter law altogether and kill it from within.†He said the background checks the amendment would require would also check the education backgrounds of applicants, credit scores and fi nancial information. “Now we want to fi nd out the credit-worthiness of a young family applying for emergency shelter,†said Day. He sarcastically asked if this credit check was going to make the shelters and residents safer — finding out what Kohl’s thinks about their ability to get a credit card.†(A “Yes†vote is for the broader background checks. A “No†vote is against them.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Jeff Turco No REDUCE FUNDING FROM $425 MILLION TO $200 MILLION House 26-126 rejected an amendment that would reduce funding for the emergency assistance shelter program from $425 million to $200 million. “The emergency assistance shelter program continues to cost the state’s taxpayers approximately $1 billion annually, which is not sustainable without implementing substantive reforms to help reduce costs and promote greater transparency,†said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “The State Auditor is currently conducting a comprehensive audit of the Executive Offi ce of Housing and Livable Communities, including the emergency shelter system, which should help to identify ways to improve effi ciency, while recent changes in immigration laws at the federal level should help to lower costs by reducing the number of people coming to Massachusetts seeking shelter. By reducing the shelter program’s funding allocation to $200 million, the state can continue to provide core services to Massachusetts residents in need while allowing additional time to see how the recent changes will impact enrollment.†Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (DBoston) said he is under no illusion that if the House approves this reduction, the Republicans will actually vote for the bill itself. He noted that reforms we’re implementing in the bill are major and the House needs to give the Healey administration time to see these through. He argued that the bill allows the state to get through the remainder of the fi scal year, and during the upcoming fi scal 2026 budget debate in April we can see how the reforms are going and if we have to make changes. (A “Yes†vote is for the reduction to $200 million. A “No†vote is against the reduction.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep.

The applicant must also provide an acceptable form of verifi cation such as tax returns; a MA REALID; a utility bill, lease or mortgage; or pay stubs showing Massachusetts employment. The residency requirement would not apply to victims of domestic violence or to any person whose living situation has been aff ected by a fi re or other natural disaster that occurred in the Bay State. “The original Right to Shelter law was implemented more than 40 years ago to help provide housing assistance for Massachusetts residents in need, particularly pregnant women and children,†said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Over the last two years, the scope of the program has expanded to the point that people are coming to Massachusetts from other states seeking assistance, which is not in keeping with the original intent of the law. This amendment will restore the focus of the law to prioritize Massachusetts residents in need of housing services.†Rep. Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley) said that we are talking about families with children and to place further restrictions on this program during the cold winter months is cruel. She noted that the bill already places more signifi cant verifi cation requirements regarding residency.†(A “Yes†vote is for the 12-month residency requirement. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Jeff Turco No REQUIRE REPORTS (H 57) House 152-0, approved an amendment that would require the Healey administration to report the number of families exiting the emergency assistance housing program each week because of a durational limit. “This data will reveal whether families are leaving because they’ve secured stable housing or due to the system’s time constraints,†said amendment sponsor Rep. Michael Finn (D-West Springfi eld) It will determine if current resources are eff ectively helping families regain stability in a quick and effi cient manner, or if future adjustments to the system are needed.†(A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes RULING OF THE CHAIR ON ICE DETAINER AMENDMENT (H 57) House 128-24, supported the ruling of the chair that a proposed amendment that would have required the Executive Offi ce of Housing and Livable Communities to collaborate with ICE regarding detainers issued for dangerous criminal aliens, was beyond the scope of the shelter bill and should not be allowed on the House fl oor for debate. Rep. Marc Lombardo (RBillerica), the sponsor of the amendment said that the amendment would make it clear that we want these monsters off the streets and will take proactive actions to protect Massachusetts residents. He urged members to oppose the ruling of the chair so that his amendment can be debated and voted upon. “It is simply outrageous that this amendment was ruled out of scope as it pertained to the operations of the shelter system which was the exact scope of the underlying bill,†said Lombardo. “The reality is that the majority party realized it would be a terrible amendment for them to vote against so instead, they ruled it out of scope to prevent political embarrassment.†Rep. Danielle Gregoire (DMarlborough) supported the ruling of the chair that this amendment is beyond the scope of this narrowly tailored funding bill. She added that there are several pieces of legislation that have been fi led this session that will deal with this issue and the House can debate the issue at that time. (A “Yes†vote supports the ruling of the chair that prohibits the amendment from being debated and voted upon on by the House. A “No†vote is against the ruling and favord the amendment being debated and voted upon.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GOV. MAURA HEALEY ANNOUNCES SHE WILL RUN FOR Driving with Dementia and Knowing When to Stop Dear Savvy Senior, When should someone with dementia stop driving? My 83-year-old father has some dementia issues but still drives himself around town pretty well. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Most doctors agree that people with moderate to severe dementia should never get behind the wheel, but in the early stages of Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia, driving performance should be the determining factor of when to stop driving, not the disease itself. With that said, it’s also important to realize that as your dad’s driving skills deteriorate over time from the disease, he might not recognize he has a problem. So, it’s very important that you work closely with his doctor to monitor his driving and help him stop when it is no longer safe for him to drive. Here are some additional tips that can help you. Watch for Warning Signs The best way to keep tabs on your dad’s driving abilities is to take frequent rides with him and watch out for warning signs. For example: Does he have trouble remembering routes to familiar places? Does he drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate, drift between lanes or fail to observe traffi c signs? Does he react slowly or make poor driving decisions? Also, has your dad had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on his vehicle? All of these are red fl ags. If you need some assessment help, hire a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. See Myaota.aota.org/driver_search or Aded.net to locate one in your area. Transition Tips Through your assessments, if you believe it’s still safe for your dad to drive, you should start recommending some simple adjustments to ensure his safety, like driving only in daylight and on familiar routes, and avoiding busy roads and bad weather. Also, get him to sign a dementia “driving contract†that designates someone to tell him when it’s no longer safe to drive. Go to Alz.org/driving and click on the “Download†button to print one. You may also want to consider getting a GPS car tracking device (like Bouncie.com or MotoSafety.com) to help you monitor him. These devices will let you track where he’s driving and allow you to set up zones and speed limits that will send you alerts to your smartphone when he exits an area, or if he’s driving too fast or braking harshly. Time to Quit When your dad’s driving gets to the point that he can no longer drive safely, you’ll need to talk to him. It’s best to start having these conversations in the early stages of the disease, before he needs to quit driving so he can prepare himself. You also need to have a plan for alternative transportation (including a list of family, friends and local transportation options) that will help him get around after he stops driving. For tips on how to talk to your dad, the Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence off ers a helpful guide called “At the Crossroads: Family Conversations About Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia and Driving†that you can download at TheHartford. com/Publications-on-Aging. Refuses to Quit If your dad refuses to quit, you have several options. First, suggest a visit to his doctor who can give him a medical evaluation, and prescribe that he stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family. If he still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to see if they can help. Some states will automatically revoke a license when a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, while many others require retaking a driving test. If these fail, consider hiding his keys or you may need to take them away. You could also disable his vehicle by disconnecting the battery, park it in another location so he can’t see it or have access to it, or sell it. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior†book. RE-ELECTION IN 2026 — In a radio interview on WGBH Radio (89.7 FM) with talk show hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan, Gov.

Healey announced more than $850,000 in grants to fund several organizations that provide job training, employment placement and post placement services for 119 young adults with disabilities. “We are building a strong workforce in Massachusetts, and this includes providing opportunities and training for individuals who face barriers to employment,†said Gov. Healey. “These grants will help develop and fulfill the immense potential of this segment of our workforce as we create an economy for today and tomorrow.†“The Healey-Driscoll Administration is committed to working with partners to increase access, break down barriers and create pathways to meaningful employment including for individuals with disabilities,†said Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones. “We appreciate the partnership with awarded organizations as we work together to strengthen employment outcomes, foster inclusivity and advance economic opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Massachusetts’ workforce.†ATTORNEY GENERAL CAMPBELL ON PROTECTING ACCESS TO GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE — Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell and a coalition of twelve other attorneys general issued a statement reaffirming their commitment to protecting access to gender-affi rming care following a recent executive order by the Trump Administration. “As state attorneys gener1.

There are other prop bets, like the Gatorade color over the coach, the national anthem length, and we, of course, decided we didn’t want to go that far. But I think the coin toss is something we should be revisiting.†--- Massachusetts Gaming Commissioner Brad Hill on the commission’s 3-2 vote to allow sports betting companies in the Bay State to offer wagers on the Super Bowl opening coin toss. 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 Feb. 3-7, the House met for a total of six hours and 13 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 11 minutes.
