Ash and emissions from Win Waste have been a health concern for residents, particularly for those who live in wards 1 and 5. The proposal on the table asks that Mayor Patrick Keefe invest $125,000 “from a mix of mitigation money, including mitigation monies from the traditional waste disposal programs, the general fund, or state, federal, or private grants, off setting funds, toward creating and maintaining a partially or fully subsidized curb-side composting program for residents of Revere.†The city will track the number of participants, tonnage of waste diverted from regular waste programs, money saved by the city and money spent by residents to participate. Former City Council candidate and community activist AnthoCelebrating Our 52nd Year Chris 2024 T Angela Guarino-Sawaya Ward 5 Councillor ny Parziale asked if the city could pick up the cost of the program since its saving money for the city. “Why should people pay?†he asked. The proposal also calls for opening a revolving account for any savings from composting and to use any money deposited to fund and expand curbside composting. Another resident asked if the Board of Health has weighed in on the composting proposal. He said there may be concerns about rats and disease. He also suggested that containers for compost, which will be provided to participants, should be made of metal rather than plastic because rats are able to bite through plastic. Juan Pablo Jaramillo Councillor-at-Large Jaramillo said he thought composting containers would be similar to trash and recycling containers. A member of the Winthrop chapter of Clean Water Action, which mounts campaigns on a variety of local environmental issues, said that composting in Winthrop has not led to any health or rodent issues. She added that the federal Environmental Protection Agency has a grant program for start-up composting that could off set local costs. Former DPW superintendent and Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio said he is in full support of the composting program, adding that anything that will divert waste out of the waste stream is a positive move.

Councillor-at-Large Juan Pablo Jaramillo and Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio fi led a motion that the city hold a public hearing for the purposes of increasing public safety by expanding recreational opportunities for young people. At the heart of the councillors’ proposal is a revitalization of the city’s Parks Commission. Argenzio said the city’s Parks Commission has existed for years but there were never enough members appointed to make it eff ective. “We’re seeking to restructure this group with diverse members,†said Argenzio. “We think it will make for a healthier exchange with input from the public.†Although public safety and keeping young people focused on sports was the main theme of the proposal, Argenzio also stressed that public fi elds, facilities and open spaces are something every taxpayer has a right to enjoy. “The Parks and Recreation department does an excellent job of renting out fi elds and I wouldn’t want to disturb that,†said Argenzio, who then spoke about an online calendar where residents can check if fi elds or basketball courts are in use and plan accordingly. “We are looking to make the city more accessible to parents and young people,†said Jaramillo. “As we grow, we want to provide tools needed to fully enjoy parks, fi elds and open spaces.†The proposed changes also call for extending the hours lights are on at diff erent facilities, particularly basketball courts. Michael Hinojosa, director of Parks and Recreation, addressed some of the points in the proposal. Hinojosa said renting and reserving fi elds is all done through him and it works without any problems. He worries that if an online calendar says a field is open a dozen teams will rush to it along with families and kids. He didn’t think a live calendar would be useful. As for extending hours, Hinojosa said the problem is that kids don’t leave immediately. And several popular basketball courts are located in residential neighborhoods. Lighting and crowds have been a problem for them. “I do everything possible to make sure kids play,†said Hinojosa. But he went on to say that protecting the city’s assets, such as the stadium, Griswold Park and the turf field at Rumney Marsh Academy, are also part of his job. When left unlocked, dog walkers have tended to misuse those spaces, which is why residents fi nd them locked and inaccessible. Members of the committee agreed on the potential value of having a newly formed Parks Commission that could engage the community and better understand the type of programing Revere families most want. But they were divided on some of the other changes the proposal was calling for. “We all have thoughts and ideas about this,†said Argenzio. “A Parks Commission could discuss these things. As Councillor Jaramillo said, creative thinking could be done.†The committee voted to keep the motion in committee for another round of discussion before moving forward to the full council.

Finals MVP, and Jason Tatum, the Celtics have jumped over the Los Angeles Lakers, their longtime rivals, in championship banners, 18-17 after the Game 5 win over fi fth-seeded Dallas, the western conference champs. There’s also a local element to this championship story that makes it more compelling in the eyes of the partisan Boston fan. Second-year Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was born in Johnston, R.I. on June 30, 1988. He attendedBishop Hendricken High School, an institution noted for its excellence in sports for decades in the Ocean State.Mazzulla was an integral player on three of its state championship boys basketball teams, including hitting a last-second shot to secure the third title in his senior campaign. Mazzulla went on to play for www.810bargrille.com the West Virginia Mountaineers, where as a freshman in 2007, he helped the team win theNational Invitation Tournament (NIT). The Mountaineers made the NCAA Tournament in 2008, and were able to upset Duke in a secondround game. Mazzulla was credited with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists to help lead his teamWhile doing his postgame media obligations Monday night following the victory over Dallas that clinched the organization’s 18th mates past the Blue Devils. He then suff ered a shoulder injury the following year. But asa redshirt junior, Mazzulla led the Mountaineers to the 2010 NCAA Final Four as one of the team’s captains. However, they lost to eventual champion Duke in a semifi - nal game. Prior to that contest in the Elite 8 game against Kentucky, Mazzulla scored a then-careerhigh 17 points to help his teammates pull off the upset. As a senior, Mazzulla averaged 7.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Throughout his collegiate career, he had 700 points and 340 assists. Mazzulla started his coaching career at Glenville State as an assistant in 2011. Two years later, he became an assistant at Fairmont State, before becoming an assistant for the Maine Red Claws, the Celtics G League team during the 2016-17 season. He returned to Fairmont State to become its head coach in 2017, bechampionship, Boston Celtics second-year head coach Joe Mazzulla proudly proclaims his love for God on his shirt, a sentiment that he has also passed along to his team. Courtesy photo / X fore returning to the Celtics organization in 2019 as one of the NBA’s team’s assistant coaches. He was promoted to head coach for the 2022-23 season, taking over for Ime Udoka. One year later, he guided the team to the organization’s 18th championship, the youngest coach ever to win an NBA title in the history of the league, beating out former Celtics player-coach and legendary Hall of Famer Bill Russell by months. But what struck many fans throughout this year’s playoff run was Mazzulla’s references to his faith in God during postgame press conferences. After the Celtics won the championship on Monday night, he was seen wearing a shirt with the words “BUT FIRST…LET ME THANK GOD†on it. As a devout Roman Catholic, he’d recite the rosary hours before home games, while walking around the fabled parquet court at the TD Garden with rosary beads his wife, Camai Roberson Mazzulla, made for him out of remnants from the original Celtics fl oor. His players to a man bought into his ideals, often citing God during their postgame media obligations after Monday’s game. Mazzulla uses his religious values to establish in some cases his coaching strategy. His message is simple: Great leadership is centered around humility and selfl essness, and he believes his players refl ect that philosophy. He recently said: “You see it right in front of your face, and you see a group of guys doing it, and it doesn’t get the appreciation and the recognition that it deserves.†In this day and age, where many shy away from publicly professing their religious beliefs, Joe Mazzulla is not afraid to follow the word of God. Through his lifestyle, he has become a championship coach in the long and storied history of the Boston Celtics. But he has also proven that he’s more importantlya winneroff the court. ׉ Ú7cassandra://U2_6j0Q52zeUj1ROeVLCr9kR1rH5YmaGoaq6QH9PZqcÍ0FÍ`Ì°Í×ftŠ™me‡_’׉EÚHTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2024 Page 5 Fallen officer remembered 39 years later Seven area students receive Harold Vitale scholarship awards T he family of the late Saugus Police Officer Harold L.

Nick Vitale added that “we’ve gotten to meet some of his retired coworkers over the years and hear some great stories about him and we’ve even gotten to know some of the current members of the Department that stop by every year to pay their respects.

In a ceremony held on Friday, June 7, at Melrose High School, Northeast Metro Tech bid congratulations and goodbye to students from the Class of 2024, several of whom spoke during graduation ceremonies. “As we stand on the brink of the next chapter of our lives, I am fi lled with hope and anticipation,†said Valedictorian Amanda Andrade Ferreira, of Malden. “We are ready to face the future, armed with the lessons we’ve learned and the strength we’ve gained from our experiences. We have proven that we can adapt, persevere, and thrive, no matter the obstacles.†Principal Carla A. Scuzzarella noted that this graduating class started their high school careers amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges it presented, and that they rose above those challenges to thrive at Northeast Metro Tech. “Like the classes just ahead of you, you are the defi nition of the word ‘resilient.’ You navigated through remote learning, virtual shop classes, and Zoom fatigue with steady determination. You found ways to connect with each other, even when physically apart. And through it all, you demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to care for one another, to support your classmates and to stay positive,†Scuzzarella said. “You helped bring the ‘normal’ back into our school.†Class President Kerryn Jean, of Melrose, told her fellow graduates that it’s okay if some of them are still searching for direction, and encouraged students to be themselves as they head into the world. “As we stand on the road of adulthood, it’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty about the future. Some of us may have our paths mapped out, while others are still searching for direction. And that’s okay. Life is a journey, not a destination, and it’s perfectly normal to feel unsure at times. What matters most is that we stay true to ourselves, hold fast to our dreams, and never lose sight of the unique path that lies ahead,†said Jean. “Refl ecting on our high school years, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve grown since those early days as freshmen. The challenges we faced, particularly with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, tested our resilience and adaptability. Yet, through it all, we remained united, eager to explore the mysteries of high school life and create lasting memories together.†Salutatorian Muhammad Plumbing student Emily Santa Macedo, of Revere, celebrated after receiving her diploma.

Skwierawski started the conversation with a personal example. He said that on hot afternoons his favorite thing to do is visit Revere Beach. But he added that he hates getting into a brutally hot car, fi ghting traffi c and hunting for a parking space. “There’s no practical, possible or safe way to walk, bike or roll there,†he said. Maura Holland of MAPC explained that her agency was on board to help with the goal of making Revere safer for all travelers, which is part of the city’s master plan. Skwierawski said the main objective is to increase mobility and make Revere streets safer. But he added that the plan would decrease emissions and increase accessibility to spots in the city where people want to go. According to Holland, MAPC is putting together a working group to piece together a plan — making sure they are building a consensus. She then shared a few facts about traveling in Revere. Of the city’s roughly 21,000 households, approximately 20 percent do not own a vehicle. About twothirds of residents drive to work, while others use diff erent options. Over the last four years, there have been 2,500 vehicle crashes in the city, many on Broadway, and that number continues to climb. Holland also mentioned that calls to 311 are dominated by requests for road repairs, such as potholes, and reports of illegally parked cars. “We want to make sure we’re incorporating existing data and community ideas into the plan,†she said. A draft of the Bike, Walk and Roll Plan is expected next spring and a final report in the summer of 2025. Skwierawski said the plan now includes adding several additional Bluebike stations, which provide short-term bike rentals, on the beach and expanding that network. High on the agenda are projects creating safe walking routes to city schools. And an increase in bike lanes. Any proposed changes will go to the Traffi c Commission for approval. One resident asked what the new bike lanes would look like. Skwierawski said it depends on the area. For example, with the need for parking and traffi c, there isn’t much room for a separate, buff ered bike lane on Broadway. But the working group will look at conditions and residents’ needs and develop a solution. Holland said that once it is clear what residents want and need, design engineers will step in and help create whatever road construction is needed to increase safety. Community funding will be critical, she said. Residents said speeding traffi c is among the biggest safety concerns. Holland said the plan involves removing as many cars CONVERSATIONS | SEE Page 20 RON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

The annual awards recognize women across the Commonwealth for their extraordinary contributions to their local communities in public or community service. Among this year’s honorees is Revere Dept. of Parks & Recreation Program Coordinator Sallyann Vranos, a Revere resident nominated by Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “Sallyann Vranos is a shining example of an unsung heroine who works tirelessly to make the City of Revere a better place for our children and all to live, work, and visit,†said Rep. Giannino. “I was proud to nominate Sally because for 17 years, she has been the heartbeat of the Revere Recreation Department, tirelessly dedicating herself to enhancing the lives of children and families in ways that transcend the ordinary.†“Miss Sally is truly an unsung heroine. Her service, caring and devotion to Revere’s families and her children are unparalleled. My own family has benefi ted from her amazing work.

Through her unwavering commitment and tireless efforts, she orchestrates a myriad of programs and events that serve as pillars of support and enrichment for our community. From crafting and facilitating six weekly programs for children, including the beloved Monday and Friday playgroups and engaging story time art sessions, to spearheading life skills programs and monthly gatherings like Kids Night Out and Senior Center crafts, Miss Sally’s contributions are as diverse as they are invaluable. Beyond her offi - cial duties, Miss Sally’s selfl essness knows no bounds.

A national championship and preparations for an international competition later this year are just part of the excitement. Oh, and don’t forget about their performances on the Boston Celtics dance fl oor during the NBA Finals this month. Good times for the studio? You bet. Briggs-Connor, a lifelong dancer from her early days in Chelsea to being a New England Patriots cheerleader and now a 25-plus-year dance studio owner in Everett, is nonstop and loving every minute of it. This is all in between her constant, unconditional care for her 19-year-old son, Jared, who has Sanfi lippo syndrome. This condition halts normal brain development and causes hyperactivity, sleep disorders, loss of speech, dementia and typically results in death before adulthood. Her dance studio leads a fundraising and awareness effort called “Hip Hop for Hope†to contribute to research and development in the healthcare community for Sanfi lippo syndrome. The fi ght for Jared and others like him is deeply embedded into the fabric of all that BriggsConnor does within her studio and for her dancers. Some proceeds go to the fi ght to fi nd a cure for Sanfi lippo syndrome. “I don’t sleep,†Briggs-Connor tells people when they ask how she does it. “It’s crazy. Everyone asks how we do it. Jared’s 19 now, which is really great because they told us he wouldn’t live that long. We’re constantly trying to raise awareness for his disease and our mission.†They’ve had a gig with the For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net Celtics for most of the 21st century, performing routines a couple of times per night during timeouts for two to three games per month. They performed in Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals, where her hometown Celtics beat the Mavericks, 4-1, clinching Banner No. 18, under which Phunk Phenomenon will perform next season. They also performed in early games of the Celtics’ dominating playoff performance, where they finished 16-3. Performing during a Celtics championship run was simply priceless for Briggs-Connor and her studio. The entire experience was steeped in Boston spirit. Donnie Wahlberg, New Kids on the Block legend and actor whom BriggsConnor has known over the years through mutual dance contacts, provided her dancers with shirts to wear during performances. As glamorous as it all sounds — she has also taught Red Sox legend David Ortiz’s daughters and had Shaquille O’Neal hang out with her team during the NBA Finals — this is serious work for BriggsConnor. She wants the routines to be fl awless while performing in front of a sold-out, 19,600-people arena. “I defi nitely do put pressure on myself,†Briggs-Connor said. “And I try to think what’s going to be the best option to keep this crowd up, especially because they’re going to be hot the whole time. It’s almost like they don’t even need entertainment because they’re all in it. The crowd is already loud. So, I try to keep the music to match that, obviously taking what they love like ‘Shipping up to Boston’ and keeping it in the theme of Boston. And then Donnie Wahlberg, he sponsored the team with these beautiful New Kids on the Block Boston shirts. So, I did a nice tribute piece to the Boston boy bands to keep the crowd pumped for everything that comes from Boston and keep that luck flowing. That was my idea of what I went into this year.†The NBA Finals appearance for her younger dancers — called Lil Phunk and ranging in ages from fi ve to 13 — was a crowning moment much like the Boston Celtics’ championship. Her dancers have been hard at work at their craft, and they now got to shine on an international stage right in the TD Garden, which they’ve called home for decades. The studio prides itself on “urban dance,†and Briggs-Connor describes it as a “non-traditional dance studio.†Their mission? To connect with youth through the art of urban dance. “Hip Hop is not just a dance; it is a culture containing fi ve elements,†according to the mission statement on the studio’s website. “Our goal is to educate ׉ Ú7cassandra://fyt1rQTIMKV6ZckcdvHi-CZ9FGSQzOEnKxX_slaMMLUÍ)¢Í`Ì°Í×ftŠ™me‡_˜×‰EÚ WTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2024 Page 11 our students on those fi ve elements within each of our specialized classes. Urban dance styles have always been the heart of inner cities as a way of expression and a means of building self-esteem.†She refers to a teaching style called “EDUTAINMENT,†or teaching the history behind each art form in addition to choreography. Boston, she said, has a specifi c dance style that includes a penchant for a very hyped-up and energetic vibe. “We still have a very bouncy style compared to the West Coast teams, who are more smooth,†she told The Advocate, “so we like artists like DMX. The studio that I own and the company is predominantly Hip Hop. We do mostly urban dance, street styles, so breakdancing from back in the day, we still do that, popping, locking, krump. New school HipHop, old-school Hip Hop. So, it’s all Hip Hop.†And this studio is not just performing; they’re winning on a large stage. A group of 40 dancers from Phunk Phenomenon recently competed in a national competition run by Hip Hop International. Ranging in ages from nine to dancers in their 30s, the team won a Gold Medal for the Megacrew category. Now they’re preparing for an international competition in Arizona in August, where they will compete against 50 countries. They secured the nationals win earlier this year with a routine to the song “Ante Up,†a collaboration by Hip Hop artists Busta Rhymes, Tefl on and Remy Martin. When she makes a mix, Briggs-Connor likes to entertain all ages of her audiences, blending old-school memories with new beats. For this routine, they took “Ante Up†and layered it with new beats like dance hall and Afrobeat. “Everything had to be within the realm of street dance for the rules of this competition,†Briggs-Connor said, “so we’re going with a full mixed style routine, basically hitting all the genres of hip-hop dance.†For Briggs-Connor, these competitions are full-circle moments where all the hard work of choreography, dancing and sweating until near midnight on weekday nights comes together. She’s been hitting the dance fl oor since she was three years old at Genevieve’s Dance Studio in Chelsea, and she basically hasn’t left since. “I danced at that studio in Chelsea, and I grew up there,†Briggs-Connor said. “My mom [Barbara Casino of Chelsea] put me in when I was three years old because I loved to dance. I danced all the way until I was 18 there, and I started teaching for her when I was 16, and I cheered for Chelsea High School. I’ve danced my whole life.†—The Phunk Phenomenon team is raising funds for their international competition trip to Arizona in August.

The disruption lasted approximately two hours until operation was fully restored at 3:15 pm. Although some calls may not have gone through, the system allows dispatch centers to identify the phone number of callers and return those calls. The Department has not received any reports of emergencies impacted during the interruption. The State 911 Department moved immediately to address the disruption, addressing the technical issue with its 911 vendor Comtech while alerting local law enforcement through a statewide broadcast network and connecting with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) to issue a statewide emergency alert. A preliminary investigation conducted by the State 911 Department and Comtech determined that the outage was the result of a fi rewall, a safety feature that provides protection against cyberattacks and hacking. The fi rewall prevented calls from getting to the 911 dispatch centers also known as Public Safety Answer Points (PSAPs). Comtech’s initial review of the incident has confi rmed that the interruption was not the result of a cyberattack or hack; However, the exact reason the fi rewall stopped calls from reaching dispatch centers remains under review. As the full review of the cause continues, Comtech has advised State 911 that they have applied a technical solution to ensure that this does not happen again. “The Massachusetts State 911 Department is deeply committed to providing reliable, state-of-the-art 911 services to all Massachusetts residents and visitors in an emergency. The Department will take all necessary steps to prevent a future occurrence,†said Executive Director of the State 911 Department Frank Pozniak. “We are grateful to everyone for their patience and cooperation during the outage.†The State 911 Department wishes to thank state and local emergency response agencies for their swift response to this matter and for working closely with their PSAP to ensure public safety. In 2023, Massachusetts’ 204 Public Safety Answering Points received a total average of 8,800calls a day.

REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (H 4744) House 155-0, Senate 380, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a bill that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.†The practice is often used by exspouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure makes it illegal to break this new law and establishes a sentence of up to 2.5 years in prison and/or a fi ne of up to $10,000; increases the upper limit of the fi ne for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000; allows a victim to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute; and extends the statute of limitations to pursue criminal charges for certain domestic violence offenses from six years to 15 years. The measure adds coercive control to the defi nition of abuse. Coercive control is a nonphysical form of abuse that includes a pattern of behavior intended to threaten, intimidate, harass, isolate, control, coerce or compel compliance of a family or household member in a manner that causes the targeted individual to fear physical harm or to have a reduced sense of physical safety or autonomy. Examples of coercive control include threatening to share explicit images, regulating or monitoring a family or household member’s communications and access to services, and isolating a family or household member from friends or relatives. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors, can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Off ender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. urgent call of survivors to enhance protections and ensure that our laws keep up with technology,†said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House chair of the Judiciary Committee and lead House sponsor of the measure. “But the House does not just listen, we act.†“After so many years of hard work, we are fi nally at a stage where we can bring closure to those who continue to suffer the consequences, and live under the threat of, revenge pornography and abusive control,†said Sen. John Keenan (DQuincy), lead Senate sponsor of the legislation. “We are sending a message that this kind of activity will not be tolerated in our commonwealth … Once this bill is signed into law, we will be able to rectify and prevent so many injustices across Massachusetts.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes PARENTING (H 4762) House 156-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that supporters say would ensure legal parentage equality by protecting LGBTQ+ families, and children born through surrogacy and assisted reproduction, in forming the legal bond of a parent-child relationship. Supporters said that parental rights and responsibilities are broad and include the ability to attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s finances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. They noted that while Massachusetts legalized samesex marriage 20 years ago, LGBTQ+ residents continue to face signifi cant barriers in obtaining full legal recognition as a parent. “Today marks a major advancement in the reinforcement of equal rights for LGBTQ+ families in the commonwealth, assuring that children born through assisted reproduction and surrogacy have a clear route to establish their legal parentage,†said Rep. Kay Khan (D-Newton), a lead sponsor of the bill. “A child’s relationship to their parents is core to their overall stability and well-being, and it is from that relationship that so many rights and responsibilities fl ow.†“The [bill] is a critical piece of legislation for so many families in the commonwealth, particularly LGBTQ+ families,†said Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury), a lead sponsor of the bill. “By updating the commonwealth’s parentage laws, we will provide clarity, security and equality in the matters of parentage, reflecting the evolving realities and complexities of assisted reproduction, surrogacy and LGBTQ+ parenthood that has to date left many families vulnerable.†“What we are doing today is giving a tune up to our statutory structure to refl ect the modern and contemporary ways that people become parents whether they are straight or gay,†said Rep. Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown). “This is a bill that is good for everyone in the commonwealth of Massachusetts.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes OPIOIDS (H 4743) House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that supporters say will cover the licensure of recovery coaches who help people with substance use, make opioid overdose reversal drugs more accessible, protect harm reduction providers and remove barriers that new mothers in recovery face at the time they give birth. Provisions include establishing recovery coach licensing and oversight within the Department of Public Health; and requiring that all health care plans cover recovery coach services and opioid overdose reversal drugs, such as Naloxone, without cost-sharing or prior authorization. The bill protects public health or harm reduction organizations and their agents who provide drug-checking services, such as needle exchange programs, to reduce the risk of accidental overdose, from civil liability or professional disciplinary action and from being criminally charged or prosecuted for possession of drug paraphernalia and illegal possession of controlled substances. Another provision removes “physical dependence upon an addictive drug at birth†from the conditions necessitating a child abuse and neglect report, essentially exempting pregnant people taking medications prescribed by their doctor from automatic investigation by the Department of Children and Families. “The bill passed today builds on the commitment of the House to support individuals and communities across the commonwealth who are dealing with the eff ects of the opioid crisis,†said Rep. Adrian Madaro (D-East Boston), House chair of the Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery. “This legislation builds on our historical commitment to reducing stigma and providing comprehensive support for individuals in recovery,†said Rep. Jim O’Day (D-West Boylston), lead sponsor of the bill. “By embracing harm reduction strategies, patient education and compassionate care, we are advancing public health and off ering renewed hope to those aff ected by substance use disorders. Together, we are forging a path towards a healthier, more supportive future for all.†“As families across Massachusetts know all too well, the impact of opioid addiction can be utterly devastating for the individual and for their loved ones, which is why a continued focus on combating substance use is a critical responsibility that we have as elected offi cials,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy).

Jeff Turco Yes VETERANS BENEFITS (S 2817) Senate 38-0, approved a package designed to benefi t veterans in the Bay State by broadening the defi nition of a veteran, increasing tax credits and state benefi ts for which they are eligible and modernizing the services on which they rely. Provisions include requiring a public school district to provide support services to a military-connected student when a parent or guardian is called to active duty; allowing Gold Star Family spouses to remarry without the penalty of losing their annuity benefi t; increasing from $2,000 to $2,500 the amount of a tax credit for each qualifi ed veteran hired by an employer; eliminating the fee for specialty license plates for veterans; increasing local fl exibility for veterans property tax exemptions; and allowing municipalities to increase the property tax obligation of a veteran in exchange for volunteer services; Other provisions include modernizing statute language for inclusivity and standardiza׉ Ú7cassandra://8Tcqv9dCGtgbIPeaaERruV3z4dOpY7V_VUbwOwNBUL0Í%^Í`Ì°Í×ftŠ™me‡_ ×‰EÚ($THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2024 Page 19 tion to ensure gender- neutral and inclusive language while removing antiquated references;???allowing veterans to be reimbursed for visits to outpatient behavioral health providers; providing consistent care to veterans by codifying medical assistance benefi ts; and creating a working group to study and make recommendations on the use of psychedelics as an alternative therapy for mental health treatments for veterans. “Very few are brave enough to raise their hand and pledge to defend our nation and the values that we hold dear, no matter the cost,†said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld), chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. â€It is on us — as a commonwealth — to always remember, recognize and honor that sacrifi ce however we can.†“As a commander in the United States Naval Reserves and an Iraq War veteran, it is my great privilege to serve in a body that commits itself time and time again to honoring our nation’s armed service members,†said Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston), vice chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. “This legislation passed by the Senate maintains our state’s promise to our service members and their families that they will be honored as they have done for us.†“We don’t rest on our laurels in Massachusetts,†said Sen. John Cronin (D-Fitchburg). “This bill modernizes our laws to ensure that the commonwealth remains second to none delivering veterans services and ensures our vets have the support needed to repatriate into our communities.†The House has approved a diff erent version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will work to hammer out a compromise version. (A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes MERCHANT MARINE DAY (S 2817) Senate 38-0. approved an amendment designating June 12 as United States Merchant Marine Day in recognition of the establishment of the United States Merchant Marine on June 12, 1775. The amendment was approved last week on June 13 and if eventually approved again by both branches, will not take eff ect until June 12, 2025. “I co-sponsored this amendment because it rightfully acknowledges the Merchant Marines, who deserve equal recognition among other branches of service,†said Sen. Mike Brady (D-Brockton). “It honors those who have served our country with distinction, affi rming their importance.†“I was honored to co-sponsor and vote for [this amendment] said Sen. Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence). “This amendment would recognize the service of Merchant Marines by installing their fl ag at veteran cemeteries and the Statehouse as well as creating a Massachusetts Merchant Mariner Medal. I was proud to see the Senate pass the amendment with unanimous support.†(A “Yes†vote is for the amendment). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL SALES TAX HOLIDAY (H 4751) — The House and Senate approved a measure designating August 10 and August 11 as a sales tax holiday weekend for the Bay State, allowing consumers to buy most products that cost under $2,500 without paying the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax. State law currently calls for a 2-day sales tax holiday every year. This bill simply sets the specifi c dates. “I was happy to sponsor the legislation establishing this year’s sales tax holiday,†said Rep. Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly). “This bill emphasizes the Legislature’s commitment to supporting local jobs and businesses. Consumers have faced higher prices for goods due to infl ation, so this tax-free weekend is a great opportunity to provide individuals, families and businesses across the commonwealth with some relief.†“The sales tax holiday provides signifi cant relief to families during a time of year where their checkbooks are already stretched from the purchase of back-to-school supplies and other family expenses,†said Senate sponsor Sen. Susan Moran (D-Falmouth). “It’s also a vital tool in bolstering our economy, especially for our cherished small businesses, who often operate on thin margins.†“The sales tax holiday is a great opportunity for residents to get out and support the local businesses in their community and get some shopping done during a time of year when people are gearing up for the fall,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “I’m glad we worked together in the Legislature to get this done for residents again this year. “Each year, the Legislature’s temporary suspension of the sales tax aims to boost revenue for small businesses and enhance aff ordability for consumers,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). REQUIRE ALARMS IN RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOLS HOT TUBS AND SPAS (H 2389) — The House gave initial approval to legislation that would require alarms in all existing, newly-renovated and newly-constructed residential swimming pools, hot tubs and spas. The measure would impose a fi ne of between $100 and $500 on violators. “I sponsored this legislation in order to bring a higher level of safety to the commonwealth regarding swimming pools,†said sponsor Rep. Angelo Puppolo (D-Springfi eld). “The installation of a swimming pool alarm is a simple measure that can save a person’s life. An alarm, when activated, detects when someone enters the pool so that no person is unnoticed whether they are an adult or child.†DON’T MISS THIS EVENT: WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE NEWS INDUSTRY — As the news industry rapidly evolves and struggles with financial challenges, the local media ecosystem continues to adapt.

Dear Savvy Senior, Can I stop my Social Security retirement benefi ts and restart them later to get a bigger payment? I recently got anice unexpected inheritance, so don’t need the money from Social Security right now. If possible, I would like tosuspend my benefi tsand restart them at age 70. Do-over Dan Dear Dan, Yes, there are actually two diff erent strategies that allow Social Security benefi ciaries to undo their claiming decision. But to be eligible, there are certain conditions you’ll have to meet. Here’s what you should know. Withdrawal Benefits If you are in your fi rst year of collecting retirement benefi ts, you can apply to Social Security for a “withdrawal of benefi ts.†Social Security will let you withdraw your original application for retirement benefi ts, but it must be within 12 months of the date you fi rst claimed your benefi ts. If you opt for a withdrawal, Social Security will treat it as if you never applied for benefi ts in the fi rst place. But there’s a catch. You’ll have to repay every dollar you’ve received, including those of any family members who have been collecting benefi ts on your earnings record, such as a spouse or minor child, along with any money that was withheld from your Social Security payments — for example, to pay your Medicare premiums. You can only withdraw your application for Social Security benefi ts once, but you can apply for benefits again later when the monthly amount would be larger. To withdrawal your benefi ts, fi ll out Social Security form SSA521 (see ssa.gov/forms/ssa-521. pdf) and send the completed form to your local Social Security offi ce. If you change your mind, you have 60 days from the date Social Security approves your withdrawal to cancel the request. Suspend Benefits If, however, you miss the 12-month window, or if repaying your Social Security benefi ts is not fi nancially feasible, there is another do-over option, but you’ll need to be full retirement age or older to be eligible. Full retirement age is 66 and 6 months for those born in 1957, but it rises in two-month increments every birth year to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can fi nd your full retirement age at SSA.gov/benefits/retirement/planner/ageincrease.html. At that point, you can “suspend†your Social Security benefi t and the good news is you don’t have to repay anything. But the bad news is your monthly Social Security benefi ts stop and so do those of any dependent family members (except a divorced spouse). During the suspension, you will also accrue delayed retirement credits, which will increase your monthly retirement benefi t by two-thirds of 1 percent for each suspended month (or 8 percent for each suspended year) up until age 70. Suspended benefits would automatically resume at 70, or you could choose to resume Social Security benefi ts earlier, but you’d only receive delayed retirement credits for the period when benefi ts were suspended. You can request a Social Security suspension over the phone (800-722-1213), in writing or in person at your local Social Security offi ce. The suspension would begin the month after you make the request. Also note that if you’re enrolled in Medicare, there’s another consequence of withdrawing or suspending your benefi ts. Normally, Medicare Part B premiums ($174.70 per month in 2024 for most benefi ciaries) are deducted directly from monthly Social Security payments. If you withdrawal or suspend your benefits and you’re enrolled in Medicare Part B, you’ll start receiving a quarterly bill from Medicare. You’ll have the option of paying electronically or by mail. Or you can sign up for Medicare’s Easy Pay, which automatically deducts your premium payments from your savings or checking account each month. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

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 Sena er 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 June 10-14, the House met for a total of 11 hours and 26 minutes and the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and 41 minutes. Mon.
