The games are the fun part, but now it’s all about the paperwork from the fi nalization of the sports and bus schedules to the completed players forms, which includes their medical and parental permission papers. They all have to be sorted out and checked for accuracy, before getting down to the business of touchdowns, goals and stopwatches. However, when it’s all said and done, the Crimson Tide’s sports mission remains the same, according to Turner, and she spells it out this way: “Our mission is to develop young adults that excel both on and off the fi eld. We want our student-athletes to understand the value of hard work and integrity and to apply those principles as students, athletes and leaders in our community.” Going into any new high school sports season, optimism runs rampant. Dreams of winning titles will always be fi rst and foremost in the athlete’s mind. But for Turner, the expectations go beyond the here and now. It’s all about Crimson Tide history. “Our expectations have, and always will be high for our student-athletes and coaches,” she said. “Whether they are in class, on the fi eld/court or out in the community, they all know the rich history and tradition that they represent.” Turner has some help this year with the addition of Steve Gallagher to the athletic departSPORTS YEAR | SEE PAGE 4 ׉ 7cassandra://VmoMyMyQYobXen2AoxZf2WMiR9bsNkL3yBtVX6TfAUg/]`̰fX{*= efX{*= d PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://dX1C3hn09Th2mQOarZLsg14OvknyHOphB1CnHi1NfYwƃ`)׉ 7cassandra://9LyXIiP9u9q9qTT5ajswiA0mawqoK2wVU382KN6PH6Aͥq`J׉ 7cassandra://du_zMXLNZflxkA9YeYBBkyUpwh2Z5GWRcEpP70jvrS0-`̰fX|*= ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://AyzHBLQmf_UbMwssJGbvdXZ-A191WH2Y5z0iZS_HjXwJ`)׉ 7cassandra://4K_hyvDAGmEgeclDm4NqmrrDqiKR2sYGQEqLCSkgzP8͠`J׉ 7cassandra://u86xCUPDk6pWJESsDeK5dEiUfcSRNBhtmddPVTcfl18/`̰fX}*= נfX}*= V9ׁHhttp://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COMׁ ׁ ЈנfX}*= G~9ׁH$http://FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MAׁ ׁ ЈנfX}*= A"9ׁHhttp://www.810bargrille.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 16, 2024 Sen. DiDomenico supports sweeping systemic reforms to long-term care and assisted living facilities Bill enhances oversight, requires outbreak planning and creates LgBTQ+ Bill of Rights O n July 25, 2024, the Massachusetts Senate approved sweeping reforms to the Commonwealth’s longterm care and assisted living sectors, taking a powerful step towards delivering the high quality and safe care that Massachusetts seniors deserve. Senator Sal DiDomenico supported An Act relative to long term care and assisted living, which substantially strengthens oversight and enforcement while also requiring facilities to create outbreak plans should a health issue arise. The bill also creates an LGBTQ+ Bill of Rights for aging residents to prohibit discrimination based on their LGBTQ+ identity or HIV status. After robust debate, the bill passed, 39-0. Different versions of the bill having been passed by the House and Senate, on July 29, 2024, a conference committee was appointed to reconcile the two versions before sending a bill to the Governor’s desk. “Our state’s older residents Ballroom and Latin Dance Classes Children’s classes—ages 4 and up Beginner Classes from September to June Competitive training with some of the top teachers of the world.

We are all going to need some form of care when we get older, and it is our obligation in government to guarantee everyone has the right to age with dignity. I want to thank Senate President Spilka, Chair Rodrigues, and Senator Jehlen for shepherding this critical legislation through the Senate.” The bill includes provisions related to basic health services administered in assisted living facilities and oversight of long-term care facilities, as outlined below. Assisted living basic health services: The bill makes it easier for residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities to get timely and effi - cient care by allowing Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) to off er basic health services, such as helping a resident administer drops, manage their oxygen or take a home diagnostic test. The legislation requires ALRs create service plans that demonstrate the residence has the necessary procedures in place, such as staff training and policies, to ensure safe and eff ective delivery of basic health services. or safety of staff or residents. Long-term care facilities: Sal DiDomenico State Senator The legislation enhances oversight and compliance of ALRs by lowering the threshold for ownership interest disclosure from 25 percent to fi ve percent. Under the new law, applicants are required to demonstrate that any prior multifamily housing, ALR or health care facilities in which they had an interest met all the licensure or certifi cation criteria. If any of these facilities were subject to enforcement action, the applicant must provide evidence that they corrected these defi ciencies without revocation of licensure or certifi cation. This bill also gives the Executive Offi ce of Elder Aff airs (EOEA) new powers to penalize noncompliance by allowing them to fi ne ALRs up to $500 per day. This is in addition to existing EOEA powers to modify, suspend or revoke a certifi cation, or deny a recertifi cation. Finally, it adds whistleblower protections for staff and residents who report anything happening at an ALR that they reasonably believe is a threat to the health Celebrating 66 Years in Business! The bill requires the Department of Public Health (DPH) to inspect each long-term care facility every nine to 15 months to assess quality of services and compliance. It also requires DPH to review the civil litigation history, in addition to the criminal history, of the long-term care facility applicants, including any litigation related to quality of care, patient safety, labor issues or deceptive business practices. The bill requires DPH to review the fi nancial capacity of an applicant and its history in providing long-term care in Massachusetts and other states. It requires applicants to notify DPH if it is undergoing fi nancial distress, such as fi ling for bankruptcy, defaulting on a lending agreement or undergoing receivership. It allows DPH to limit, restrict or revoke a long-term care facility license for cause, such as substantial or sustained failure to provide adequate care, substantial or sustained failure to comply with laws or regulations, or lack of fi nancial capacity to operate a facility. It also gives DPH the power to appoint a temporary manager if a long-term care facility owner fails to maintain substantial or sustained compliance with laws and regulations. This manager would be brought on for at least three months, at the facility owner’s expense, to bring the facility into compliance.

Not only could this create credit problems down the road due to unchecked spending, but some deals could be phony offers designed to access personal information. Research the offers from the credit card flyers and the banking institutions before applying. Review the BBB tip on credit card scams. • Too good to be true apartments: It’s hard not to jump on a convenient apartment so close to campus, especially if it advertises affordable rent. It’s tempting to hand over credit card information online to lock in a great spot, but it’s always worth seeing the apartment in person before a money transfer. This also applies to Craigslist and social media ads appearing to be from other students looking for roommates. • ID theft: It’s a good idea to start practicing healthy money habits, and one such habit is regularly checking your credit report for unusual activity and possible ID fraud. The official government website to do this for free is annualcreditreport. com. Read BBB’s article on identity theft at www.bbb. org/article/scams/25955bbb-tip-how-to-know-ifsomeone-stole-your-identity • Scholarship and grant scams: Be wary of phone calls from companies guaranteeing they can help reduce loan payments or offer a hefty grant. Searching the company’s name online could bring up scam alerts or negative reviews from other consumers. Read reviews and complaints about the company at BBB.org and contact the school’s financial aid office for advice and help regarding financing your education. Scholarship scams can affect college students even after graduation; read tips on scholarship scams at https://www. bbb.org/article/news-releases/16922-bbb-tip-scholarship-scams • Online shopping scams: Online purchase scams can be especially effective when set up through social media platforms and apps. BBB has tips for smart shopping online and a page dedicated to online shopping tips and scam alerts at https://www. bbb.org/all/online-shopping • Test preparation scams: Scammers pretend to be companies that can help students pass exams, but once students correspond with the company, the scammers use the messages to blackmail the students into sending funds out of fear of being expelled for cheating. Always read reviews on BBB.org and visit BBB’s Scam Tracker (https:// www.bbb.org/scamtracker) to look up a potential scam. • Awareness of current scams: As tech-savvy as current college students can be, a surprising number of scams reported to BBB’s ScamTracker are from students who learned their lesson too late.

GRANT | FROM PAGE 9 “I am thrilled to partner with the MAPC on this essential project. Although the health risks from extreme heat are well known, this effort will help us better understand how heat risk varies from one neighborhood to another and take steps to better protect people in those communities that need help most,” said Professor Wellenius. The project will take a systems-based and community-driven approach to building climate resilience to extreme heat by strengthening social connectedness and support networks among community members, organizations, and municipalities within the Lower Mystic. Research shows that investments in social infrastructure – the community assets, programs, policies, and communication pathways that facilitate relationships and collective action – builds community resilience. “Lower-Mystic Cool Communications” will apply best practices from MAPC’s previous municipal-community partnerships for climate resilience. The 2022 MAPC MetroWest Climate Equity Project [https://www.mapc. org/resource-library/metro-west-climate-equity/], involving Ashland, Framingham, and Natick took a similar approach: successfully engaging residents and community groups to lead outreach and co-design two climate resilience communication campaigns. This new project will adapt these strategies, including hiring community liaisons and creating culturally resonant emergency resources, to address extreme heat … in the Lower Mystic region. ׉ 7cassandra://OXchbmazaMCIfQgCIip2QSLOKnznt_LTqy2PtBEod5g,=`̰fX{*= u׉E~THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 16, 2024 Page 11 ~ Everett Public Libraries Calendar of Events ~ August 19–24, 2024 Parlin Adult and Teens Yarn Club: Parlin Fireplace Room, Tuesday, August 20, at 7 p.m. Come chit-chat and stitch!

Making Early Decisions By Michelle Woodbrey, CPRS, CDP, CSA W hy do you wear a seatbelt? Is it your intention to crash your car? No. You hope it never happens but if you do get into an accident, the seatbelt will minimize the impact. Having a plan for needing support as you get older is just like that. You hope you never need support but if you do, having a plan will minimize the impact. Do any of us drive anywhere and not put on a seatbelt? No. Aside from our car’s incessant beeping, we know that we are, after all, someone’s parent or grandparent and the most loved person. Even if you don’t want to plan for needing care, maybe do it for the people who love you. Truthfully, everyone needs a plan. That unexpected things happen in life is a guarantee. There are things we can all do now to minimize the impact on our loved ones if something unexpected does happen. In honor of Grandparent’s Day, let’s take a minute to consider what you may need. If something were to happen, we can save our family from the additional overwhelm of fi guring out our passwords, fi nding bank account information and determining what we want to happen if we are ever incapacMichelle Woodbrey is the cofounder of 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors and a contributing expert for the website Excellent Care, Decency, and Optimal Living (ECDOL). She has been working in the fi eld of senior living for over 20 years. itated. Given the chance, most of us would spare our loved ones from the agony of making such impossible life-changing decisions. Well, you have the chance now. Here are some of the things you will need. Start with the important documents. This includes fi nancial power of attorney, health care proxy, DNR if chosen, long-term care and life insurance information, Medicare card, living will, social security card, as well as discharge papers if you were in the military. You can plan ways to communicate your end-of-life wishes, down to the fi nest of details if you want. If we think about what would be needed for a loved one to do and how we can make things easier for them, we can spare them the frustration of figuring out all of our usernames and passwords, finding our account numbers, locations of keys, etc. Just like we pray that we never need a seatbelt, we can put a plan in place for our care with a similar prayer. Important considerations include our living arrangements and care needs. If we want to stay home, we can identify ahead of time what we would need to make that successful. If I were going on a road trip across the country, for example, I would not start driving without some sense of what my route might look like. I would also consider the number of miles and how much gas I need as well as the price of gas. If I don’t do these things, the chances are that I might never actually make it across the country. I could end up stuck somewhere in the middle (no off ense, Kansas). If I do complete the journey, I will have spent a lot of time and resources going in the wrong direction with the best of intentions. Make a plan, put on a seatbelt and do your best to enjoy the ride. ׉ 7cassandra://8H9L4sTq4NAUoqAunAPbHtRWwcE6sSdidxEpss41ivE*v`̰fX{*= z׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 16, 2024 Page 13 City hosts final Summer Concert at the Connolly Center Everett’s older adults enjoyed a live performance by seabreeze Attendees dancing to the sounds of Seabreeze.

The law, which is formally called An Act honoring, empowering, and recognizing our servicemembers and veterans, boosts support for hundreds of thousands of individuals in the Commonwealth who have served in the United States military, including 30,000 women veterans and thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans. McGonagle sponsored an amendment in the bill to increase veterans’ awareness and accessibility to their benefits. “I am so grateful to my colleagues in the Massachusetts legislature for prioritizing and passing this bill and to Governor Healey for inviting me to the signing,” said McGonagle. “Though not a veteran myself, I am the son of a Lieutenant Colonel and was raised with immense respect for the military and our veterans. Since Day 1 on Beacon Hill, I have made sure to do all I can to support Massachusetts’s veterans and military families. They have served us and we must serve them. The HERO Act is another example of Massachusetts leading the way in veteran care. These new laws will help continue to make State Representative Joe McGonagle (second from left), Governor Maura Healey (center right) and fellow legislators after the signing.

What he did in the game 7 of the 1926 World series has NEVER been replicated; but was it a blunder or a simple missed opportunity? Here’s the play that ended the 1926 World Series where Babe Ruth (left) of the New York Yankees was caught stealing with a tag of St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Rogers Hornsby (right). The two iconic immortals were involved in one of the most famous endings in World Series history. (Courtesy/ACME Newswire) Editor’s Note: For over a decade, from about 2005 until it closed up shop in January 2017, the late Malden Evening News ran a regular column called DIAMOND DUST about various baseball topics, written by Malden baseball icon the late Bob Rotondi. Today, we attempt to bring back the column, which will publish on as regular a basis as possible. By Steve Freker here is no player more celebrated at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., than the imT mortal Babe Ruth. There are over 50 individual exhibits – virtually the greater part of an entire wing– commemorating the career of the player frequently crowned the greatest of all time. But there was one game, a Game 7 of one of the greatest World Series ever played, for which Babe Ruth was far from the most popular player in the ballyard when it was concluded. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated Ruth’s New York Yankees 4 games to 3 in the bestof-7 series, which took place from October 2 to October 10, 1926, at Yankee Stadium St. Louis Cardinals all-time greatest pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander is followed off the field by teammates at the end of the Game 7, first-ever World Series clinching win. in New York and Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. This was the first World Series appearance (and first National League pennant win) for the Cardinals, and would be the first of 11 World Series championships in Cardinals history. The Yankees were playing in their fourth World Series in six years after winning their first American League pennant in 1921 and their first world championship in 1923. They would play in another incredible 36 World Series (and remarkably, win 26 of those). The ending of Game 7 ended in rather infamous fashion, in baseball terms. Every baseball aficionado knows this: Never make the first out or third out at third base. The reason is that, with nobody out and a runner at second base – already in scoring position – you have three outs to give the hitter a chance to move the runner over, or drive the runner in with a base hit, and with two outs, you want to give the hitter a chance to drive them in. There is no real baseball “saying” on this one, but what Babe Ruth did to end Game 7 and hand the Cardinals their first-ever World Series was questionable. In Game 7, the Yankees, trailing 3–2 in the bottom of the ninth inning and down to their last out, Ruth walked for the fourth time of the game, bringing up Bob Meusel. Surprisingly, Ruth, a decent baserunner in his own right, took off for second base on the first pitch. Meusel swung and missed, and catcher Bob O’Farrell threw to second baseman and player/manager Rogers Hornsby, who tagged Ruth out, ending Game 7 and thereby crowning his Cardinals World Series DIAMOND DUST | SEE PAGE 16 Historic Fraser Field in Lynn will be the site of the 19th Annual Lynn Invitational Showcase being held on August 13, 14 and 15.

Many businesses have adopted S Corporation status for tax purposes. With an S Corporation, the income or loss is passed through to the individual stockholder via a Schedule K-1 form in order for the income or loss to be reported on the stockholder’s Form 1040. Assuming the stockholder has enough stockholder basis in the corporation, any loss incurred by the corporation can be passed through to the stockholder to offset income such as wages, interest, dividends, net rental income, etc. IRC Section 1361(c)(2) allows for a grantor-type Trust to be an eligible shareholder of an S Corporation.

If a stockholder wishes to transfer his or her common stock certificate to a revocable or irrevocable Trust, he or she would be the Settlor (the Grantor) of such a Trust, the Trustee of such a Trust and the income beneficiary of the Trust. If an irrevocable Trust is the preferred option due to asset protection reasons such as nursing home costs, some people will look to name a child the Trustee. If the Trust is drafted properly and there are not any circumstances where a principal distribution can be made to the Settlor, then the comter the throw by O’Farrell, the catcher. The “hit and run” is a means of getting the runner moving from first to second, with the intention of it being basically mandatory the hitter makes contact to try and catch the infielders out of position, to make sure the runner gets to second base. The problem we, as baseball armchair purists, would have with that explanation is, “Really? Hit and run with TWO OUTS?” Nah. We don’t buy that one. If The Babe was trying to make something happen with his teammate hoping against hope to get a hit against one of the greatest pitchers of all time in Grover Cleveland Alexander, we can see that.

The Settlor (Grantor) of the grantor-type Trust must be deemed the owner of the entire Trust and must be a United States citizen or resident. If the Grantor dies, the grantor-type Trust would still be a permissible stockholder for two years following the Grantor’s death. In the event of the Grantor’s death, for S Corporation income tax purposes, the Trust would be considered a non-grantor administrative Trust under Internal Revenue Code Section 1361(c)(2)(A)(ii). No election is necessary to be filed with the IRS in order for a grantor-type Trust to be an eligible shareholder of an S Corporation. A Grantor-Type Trust tax return could be filed in order to report the Schedule K-1 income or loss generated by the S Corporation. A Grantor letter would then be delivered to the Grantor of the Trust so that the Grantor could report the net income or net loss figure on his or her federal and Massachusetts individual income tax return.

The play that ended the 1926 MLB World Series where Babe Ruth was caught stealing with two outs is a true rarity in baseball. It was actually the way a key Malden High baseball win concluded this past season, one that saw the Golden Tornado squad have its best season in 30 years with a 16-5 overall record. There were two outs and a man on fi rst in the top of the seventh inning, and Lynn Classical was down to its last out with freshman Ryan Bowdridge on the mound for the Tornados, the third of three pitchers for the home team that afternoon at Pine Banks Park. Sophomore Ryan McMahon and junior Jake Simpson had held visiting Lynn Classical to three runs as Malden had built a 5-3 lead after fi ve innings. After a leadoff strikeout, one of four on the game by Bowdridge, a Rams single put a runner on fi rst. A popup for the second out left the runner at fi rst with Lynn Classical now down to its last out. With the count 1-1, the Rams runner broke for second on a steal attempt. Malden High junior catcher Bo Stead fi red a missile to second, and the senior captain and second baseman caught the throw and tagged the runner for the third out, ending the game. For Stead, it was his second runner thrown out in the game and perhaps the biggest one of his three-year varsity career, as Malden completed the two-game season sweep of Classical. **** Question of the Week Only fi ve MLB Baseball Hall of Fame inductees appear with their permanent honoree busts with “no logo” on their hats, apparently all of them signifying they played or were a team manager for multiple teams.

Maura Healey signed into law a housing bill that would authorize $5.1 billion in borrowing to spur housing production in the Bay State. Supporters said the package makes crucial policy changes with the goal of building new housing, accelerating the rehabilitation of existing housing, reducing barriers to development and promoting affordable housing. They noted that key provisions include allowing accessory dwelling units, investment in modernizing the state’s public housing system, boosts to programs that support first-time homebuyers and homeownership, incentives to build more housing for low to moderate-income residents, support for the conversion of vacant commercial space to housing and support for sustainable and green housing initiatives. “The Affordable Homes Act creates homes for every kind of household, at every stage of life and unlocks the potential in our neighborhoods,” said Gov. Healey. “Today we are taking an unprecedented step forward in building a stronger Massachusetts where everyone can afford to live.” “The Affordable Homes Act is the first, major critical step needed in addressing our housing crisis,” said Rep. James Arciero (D-Littleton), House Chair of the Committee on Housing. “It reduces barriers for individuals seeking affordable home options, increases housing production and inventory and creates more tools in the toolbox to help cities and towns offer more affordable housing options. This encompassing bill showcases critical input from our state and local officials, community stakeholders, advocates and residents.” “If Massachusetts leaders declare ‘Mission Accomplished’ on the housing crisis, they’ll be abandoning millions of Massachusetts residents to a broken housing market that is driving families into homelessness and pushing workers out of our state,” said Carolyn Chou, Director of Homes for All Mass. “The housing bond bill includes meaningful funding to support public housing and build new affordable housing, but legislators failed to include any tools to help renters who are facing enormous rent hikes and eviction today.” “Passing a major massive, complicated measure like this without even an abbreviated opportunity to read what was in the bill was not something I was willing to embrace,” said Rep. Matt Muratore (R-Plymouth). “This bill was passed on August 1st around 9 a.m. after being in ~ Legal Notice ~ A.G. Quealy Towing, Inc. Notice is hereby given by: A.G.

The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $1.5 million was eliminated. “I am vetoing this item to an amount consistent with my House [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey.

The veto includes cuts of $100,000 from the Massachusetts Food Trust Program; another $100,000 from the Buy Local effort; and the entire $250,000 for local food policy councils. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $800,000 was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Gov. Healey. “I am reducing two earmarks to amounts more consistent with my House [budget] recommendation and eliminating one program earmark that was intended to be a one-year program. (A “Yes” vote is for the $800,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes $5 MILLION FOR FOOD SECURITY (H 4800) House 155-2, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $5 million (reducing funding from $10 million to $5 million) for the Food Security Infrastructure Grant Program which was created to ensure that individuals and families have access to food, especially food that is produced locally, and equitable access to food. The program also seeks to ensure that farmers, fisherman and other local food producers are better connected to a strong, resilient food system to help mitigate future food supply and distribution disruption. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $5 million was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary due to the availability of alternative resources,” said Gov. Healey. (A “Yes” vote is for the $5 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes DISABILITY PENSION FOR POLICE OFFICERS (S 2887) Senate 40-0, approved and Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would provide police officers who have suffered a violent act injury, 100 percent regular compensation and pension benefits, until they reach the age of mandatory retirement. Violent act injury is defined as “a serious and permanent personal bodily injury sustained as a direct and proximate result of a violent attack upon a person by means of a dangerous weapon, including a firearm, knife, automobile, explosive device or other dangerous weapon.” Supporters said that under current law, a first responder forced to retire due to a violent act injury can only receive benefits through the local retirement board via the home rule legislative process. They said this process is onerous and has resulted in disparate benefits being granted on a case-by-case basis. “Our first responders go above and beyond to keep our communities safe and respond to emergencies,” said Gov. Healey. “That’s why it’s critical that we support them when they experience emergencies of their own. This legislation ensures that first responders who are injured in the line of duty have access to the pay and health care, including mental health care, that they need to support their families and their road to recovery.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL PARENTAGE EQUALITY (S 2906) – Gov. Healey signed into law legislation changing how a family is defined in state law. Supporters said the new law 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. They said the measure would dismantle archaic legal barriers to basic parenting responsibilities for modern families, opening the door to legally attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s finances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. “Our laws need to reflect the realities of modern families and the loving environments where children grow and flourish,” Gov. Healey said. “This moment is a victory for all families in Massachusetts who deserve to be treated with dignity and to have their rights recognized and protected under the law.” PROTECT FIREFIGHTERS (S 2902) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Healey a measure that would require a manufacturer or person that sells Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment to any person or government agency, to provide, beginning January 1, 2025, written notice to the buyer, at the time of sale, if the equipment contains toxic perand polyfluoroalkyl substance chemicals, known as PFAS. The seller would also have to provide the reason the chemicals were added to the equipment. Beginning on January 1, 2027, the bill prohibits any person from manufacturing, knowingly selling or distributing any equipment containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals. “My office originally filed this bill in 2019 in collaboration with The Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) and Clean Water Action,” said lead sponsor Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro). “With each legislative session, we refiled, improved upon the language and aided in the unwavering dedication of PFFM as they advocated tirelessly for their members … Despite improvements in cancer care, our firefighters are still becoming sick and dying from occupational cancers at a rate more than twice the general population. It is our duty to protect those who protect us. I am proud to have played a part in this momentous passing.” “Ask anyone how the majority of firefighter line-of-duty deaths occur — most will probably guess smoke inhalation or oncall injury,” said Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “The shocking truth is that, from 2002 to 2019, cancer accounted for 66 percent of firefighter deaths, according to the International Association of Firefighters. PFAS exposure from firefighting equipment is a crisis for firefighters and the communities they serve.” “This is great news,” said Deirdre Cummings, MASSPIRG’s Legislative director. “Firefighters put their lives on the line to protect us in an emergency, and we must make sure the gear they wear will protect them.” VETERANS BENEFITS (S 2817) – Gov.

What all can you tell me about walk-in tubs, and can you recommend some top options? Old and Achy Dear Old, For mobility challenged seniors, a walk-in bathtub can be a terrifi c option to consider because they’re much easier to get into and out of than a standard tub, which also helps prevent falls. Here’s what you should know, along with a reliable resource to help you choose one. Age-Friendly Tubs Walk-in bathtubs are uniquely designed tubs that have a watertight, hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a much lower threshold to step over (usually 3 to 7 inches) versus a standard tub that’s around 15 inches. Most walk-in tubs have high sidewalls, usually between three and four feet high, and are between 28 and 32 inches wide, but will fi t into the same 60-inch-long space as your standard tub without having to reconfi gure the room. In addition to the low threshold, most walk-in tubs also have a built-in seat, grab bars, anti-slip fl oors and anti-scald valves. Some tubs also come with handheld showerheads and quick drains (that drain the tub in under a minute), and many higher-end models off er therapeutic spa-like features that are great for seniors with arthritis and other ailments. The best kind of tub for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget, and the size and layout of your bathroom. But be aware that walk-in bathtubs are not cheap. Prices range anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 or more for the tub and installation costs. Insurance and Aid Because walk-in tubs are not considered durable medical equipment, original Medicare does not typically cover them nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. If you’re receiving Medicaid, many states have Home and Community Based Services that may provide some assistance. Or, if you’re a disabled veteran, the VA has some home modifi - cation grants that may help pay. There are also grants and loans available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture that help elderly, low-income residents of rural areas make home modifications, which may be used to pay for a walk-in bathtub.

Provisions include increasing benefi ts for disabled veterans and Gold Star family members; bolstering new and existing initiatives for municipalities and businesses to support veterans; creating comprehensive services for active-duty service members and military families; expanding the scope of the Veterans Equality Review Board; and codifying medical, behavioral health and dental benefi ts. The measure also requires several working groups to review post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans, mental health treatments for veterans and overall quality of life for veterans in Massachusetts. Supporters said the legislation will boost support for hundreds of thousands of individuals across the state who have served in the United States military, including nearly 30,000 women veterans and thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans. “This is our most comprehensive veterans legislation in over Page 19 20 years, and it’s the result of Massachusetts coming together to make veterans our priority,” said Gov. Healey. “From the start, our administration has been dedicated to revitalizing veterans’ services in Massachusetts, ensuring that every hero receives the benefi ts, resources and support they deserve. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country – we can and will be the state where veterans and service members continue to lead and make all our freedom and success possible.” “Massachusetts has a long history of prioritizing the needs of our veterans and service members and I am thrilled that the [bill] is on its way to the governor’s desk to continue this tradition,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield), Senate chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. “Less than one half of one percent of our nation bravely raise their right hand and pledge to defend our nation no matter the costs. We must always remember, recognize and honor these sacrifi ces however we can, and passage of this legislation is an important step toward fulfilling that mission.” “The [measure] enhances the quality of life for veterans in the commonwealth by making critical investments in benefi ts programs, expanding access to services and creating policies to ensure our veterans and their families are well-informed about the benefi ts and services available to them,” said Rep. Gerry Cassidy (D-Brockton), House chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. DOMESTIC ASSAULT AND JOBS (S 2934) – Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would extend employment protection for workers employed through a temporary hiring agency. These workers, if they are victims of domestic assault, could not have their contract terminated if they miss a reasonable amount of time for certain appointments. Covered appointments include doctor’s appointments, hospital stays and court dates. This would mirror the protections currently granted to bona fi de employees of a company. “This bill has been fi led and BEACON | SEE PAGE 20 CITY OF EVERETT ׉ 7cassandra://PRbSLsGVffnqdn7Kz3phNAshPGhfGL0_k1cEnnykzR8'9`̰fX{*= fX{*=  PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://E7xKveEaO4LnREjlLfTBnHft2L6Q52zn7PM7x2tpDII} `)׉ 7cassandra://Qlzum9QRDpMQvCqLZCcD9PEik7m3wI5HgI8sS-4cu60͙w`J׉ 7cassandra://8lusOcjFi9IAIKiIdMn-zkFiZmij_2ZZ6dONUAXyQT0(`̰fX*= ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://khVIKBDpwGLrDD_uGHoOIL3ONtR6XtnJaLoT2luoeiw `)׉ 7cassandra://oAp4qaFcfPNVhqqaE0U-Qgw-M5iHtAHw3iaZJHs2VqQ͞`J׉ 7cassandra://jAY3sYKcwdnQ8p5P0tttBLgHD8Jl2CSKm5kkPFcwLpU/`̰fX*= ڑנfX*= LŁ̰9ׁHhttp://www.thewarrengroup.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E%zPage 20 ~ School Bus Drivers Wanted ~ 7D Licensed School Bus Drivers THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 16, 2024 BEACON | FROM PAGE 19 Malden Trans is looking for reliable drivers for the new school year.

A petition has been presented to said Court by, Aparicio Umana of Everett, in the County of Middlesex, representing that He hold as a tenant in common a 50% undivided part or share of certain land lying in Everett, in the County of Middlesex, and briefly described as follows. Title in a certain parcel of land together with the buildings thereon situated in Everett, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on the Northeasterly side of Nichols Street and being numbered 130 in the present numbering of said street, and shown as Lot A2 on a plan of land in Everett belonging to Samuel Glazer, A.P. Sargent, Surveyor, dated July 29, 1926, and recorded with Middlesex South District Deeds, book 5017 at End and bounded and described as follows: SOUTHWESTERLY: by Nichols Street, (55.25) feet; NORTHWESTERLY: by Lot A1 on said plan (96.9) feet; SOUTHWESTERLY: again by Lot A1 on said plan, (2.3) feet; NORTHWESTERLY: again by Lot A1 on said plan, (25) feet; NORTHEASTERLY: by land now or late of Lovejoy, (20) feet; SOUTHEASTERLY: by land now or late of Bennett, (39) feet; NORTHEASTERLY: again by land now or late of Bennett, (38.08) feet; and SOUTHEASTERLY: again by Lot B, shown on said plan, now or late of Ida H.

Witness, Honorable Terri L. Klug Cafazzo, Esquire, First Justice of said Court, this eight day of July, 2024 TARA DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE COURT August 2, 9, 16, 2024 Docket No: MI24E0054PP pushed by Sen. Fattman and me after a tragic incident that occurred to a constituent of ours,” said co-sponsor Rep. Joe McKenna (R-Webster). “Amanda Dabrowski was a victim of domestic assault and had her temporary agency contract terminated after missing time because she was in the hospital. Tragically, partly due to her loss of work, her life took a few challenging turns and she was ultimately tracked and murdered by the same violent perpetrator.” “No one who’s a victim of domestic violence should lose their job because they are unable to attend work due to the injuries they sustained from domestic abuse,” said co-sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “Victims of domestic violence need to be protected, and this legislation will be one step in strengthening our laws to make sure this happens. In Amanda’s honor, the Dabrowski family would like to make sure that something good comes out of this very tragic situation.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Survivors of sexual assault already have so many obstacles to overcome when bringing their experiences forward. We have tools to hold perpetrators accountable and help survivors but unaddressed delays minimize the injustice experienced by survivors and place others at risk for potential assaults. The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security needs to take these matters seriously, and ensure these kits are being tracked correctly, processing kits on time and in accordance with the law.” ---State Auditor Diana DiZoglio on her Executive Office of Public Safety and Security audit which identifies issues with oversight of sexual assault evidence collection kits. “Our governor and her administration have committed to being climate champions. Reducing food waste remains an unrealized opportunity toward that goal. We urge state policymakers to take on reduction of food waste as a top priority. We have a menu of strategies to do just that.” ---Janet Domenitz, Executive Director of MASSPIRG on the group’s new report “How to Reduce Food Waste in Massachusetts.” The report says that despite significant progress in reducing it, food waste still accounts for about 22 percent of Massachusetts’ trash, with nearly one million tons of food waste sent to landfills and incinerators each year. “Jobs are a great way for young people to learn skills and improve their communities, and it is essential that employers provide safe and healthy work environment. I am proud of the work my office has done to uplift and protect our youth in the workplace, and we will continue to protect them by ensuring that companies are complying with our child labor laws.” --- Attorney General Andrea Campbell highlighting more than $4.1 million in penalties and restitution against Massachusetts employers that have violated Massachusetts’ child labor laws. “These newly approved loans and grants demonstrate the Trust’s strong commitment to ensuring low-cost financing for water projects throughout our state. Safe and reliable water infrastructure is essential for healthy communities, and we will continue to leverage this DIAMOND DUST | FROM PAGE 17 **** Lynn Invitational Showcase event is coming next week; remains the most heavily recruited in the area The most heavily recruited baseball showcase event for underclassmen high school baseball players returns to Fraser Field in Lynn next week.

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 August 5-9. the House met for a total of one hour and two minutes and the Senate met for a total of 55 minutes. Mon. August 5 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:13 a.m. Senate 11:06 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Tues. August 6 No House session No Senate session. Wed. August 7 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
