Councillor DiPierro
looks to alleviate traffi c
snarls at Gateway Mall
By Christopher Roberson
W
ard 3 Councillor Anthony
DiPierro recently
presented a Resolution asking
Mayor Carlo DeMaria and
his administration to “immediately
take necessary steps”
to assuage the traffic bottleneck
at the Gateway Center
Mall.
DiPierro said more than
300 drivers, stuck in gridlock,
called 911 during the weekend
of November 12 expressing
their extreme frustration.
“People were stuck there
from 90 minutes to three
hours,” DiPierro said during
the November 22 City Council
meeting. “It’s a public safety
emergency. Something
needs to be done; it’s far too
dangerous being stuck there.”
In addition, DiPierro said
the congestion has compelled
him to take his business
elsewhere. “I avoid that

Area doctors weigh in on new Omicron variant
I
By Christopher Roberson
t only took fi ve days for the
Omicron variant of COVID-19
to spread from South Africa to
the United States with the fi rst
case being confi rmed in California
on December 1. The new
strain has also spread to several
other countries, including Botswana,
the Netherlands, Portugal
and the United Kingdom.
Dr. Lou Ann Bruno-Murtha,
division chief of infectious diseases
at Cambridge Health Alliance,
said it is only a matter
of time before Omicron works
its way into Massachusetts.
The arrival of Omicron in the
Bay State will only compound
the current problems created
by the already-prevalent Delta
variant.
“Delta is still the variant contributing
to the recent increase
in infections and hospitalizations
in the region,” said Bruno-Murtha.
“The science and
implications of the Omicron
variant are actively being examined,
and we will know
more very soon. At this time,
the best response is to promote
COVID vaccination for
those not fully vaccinated and
encourage everyone who is eligible
to seek a booster dose as
soon as possible.”

Massachusetts may not necessarily
be a target. “It is still unclear
whether this will happen,”
he said. “It will depend on how
it competes with the Delta variant.
We will have to watch what
the balance between Delta and
Omicron will be.”
Dr. George Abraham, chief of
medicine at Saint Vincent Hospital,
said he was not surprised
by the detection of Omicron
and the previous strains. “We
have predicted and long suspected
that we would see variants,”
he said. “The variants pop
up in parts of the world where
there have been the lowest levels
of vaccination.”
Abraham also said OmiEverett

in the long-term. “Based
on preliminary data from our
South African colleagues, the
number of cases has risen dramatically,
about 700-fold, but
the number of hospitalizations,
serious illnesses and deaths
have not increased signifi cantly,”
he said. “This suggests that
there might be overall mild disease
associated with this variant
as opposed to severe disease.”
In
addition, Abraham said
he trusts the effi cacy of the
vaccines. “We know the vaccines
work reasonably well,
generating what’s called virus-specific
antibodies. But
they also generate what’s
called a polyclonal response,”
he said. “That means it may
also work against some viruses
in the same family. Right

Everett celebrates arrival of Hanukkah

O

residents joined
city officials in front of City Hall

Menorah lighting. During
the November 29 ceremony,
Rabbi Sruli Baron of Tobin

the history of the eight-day
Festival of Lights, which dates
back more than 3,300 years.
At that time, Baron said, Israel

they succeeded in driving
the Greeks from the land.”

Shortly thereafter, a series

DiDomenico's Essential Employee Premium Pay
Amendment included in Senate’s ARPA spending bill
D
uring the Massachusetts
Senate’s recent debate of
its $3.82 billion American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA) spending
bill – An Act relative to immediate
COVID-19 recovery
needs – State Senator Sal DiDomenico
successfully negotiated
the inclusion of nursing
facility representation on
the Essential Employee Premium
Pay advisory panel proposed
under the Senate bill.
This massive spending package
includes $500 million for
bonuses for essential employees
who served during the
pandemic, and it tasks an advisory
panel with determining
who would be eligible for
these bonuses. Recognizing
that there was inadequate representation
of eldercare providers
on the proposed Premium
Pay panel, DiDomenico
fi led an amendment to the
Senate bill that added a member
of the Massachusetts Senior
Care Association to represent
nursing facility employees
on the advisory panel.
The overwhelming majority
of staff within the nursing facility
community worked overtime
to ensure adequate care
coverage during the COVID-19
pandemic to protect their residents.
The nursing facility
community’s perspective on
the establishment of the essential
employee pay program
is necessary to refl ect the key
role of these workers.
“Massachusetts elder-care
nurses have been working
overtime on the frontlines all

two years. However, he lauddemic,”
said DiDomenico. “The
adoption of this amendment is
crucial to providing the nursing
facility community with a
voice on this panel, especially
given all of their hard work and
dedication to keeping their
residents safe and healthy.”
The ARPA spending bill was
unanimously passed by the
Senate on November 10 and

House passes legislation to balance health care
market, protect vulnerable hospitals
O
n November 17, 2021,
to protect community
hospitals, State Representative
Joseph McGonagle and
his Massachusetts House colleagues
recently passed (1581)
H.4262, An Act enhancing
the market review process,
to promote a more balanced
health care market by
strengthening the regulatory
processes for health care expansions.
The legislation creates
a more rigorous review
to ensure that when large hospital
systems expand, they are
not infringing on community
hospital markets and raising
health care costs for patients.
It also requires the ongoing
upkeep of a health resource
inventory, which will
give regulators a better understanding
of the Commonwealth’s
existing health care
resources to inform these reHANUKKAH

how well our vaccines work
against this variant.”
Dr. Shira Doron, an Infectious
Disease physician and epidemiologist
at Tufts Medical Center,
said Delta continues to attract
a great deal of attention.
“Delta is a major threat in Massachusetts
and for the time
being, a far greater one. We
do not yet know if Omicron is
more deadly, more transmissible
or more easily evades immunity
than Delta,” she said.
“If it does any of those things
and if it manages to outcompete
Delta and become predominant,
then it could mean a
worse winter than what we are
view processes and future reform
efforts. H.4262 now goes
to the Senate.
“The House took a major
step in working to guarantee
that every Massachusetts resident
has access to quality, affordable
health care by passing
legislation that will protect
community hospitals,”
said Speaker of the House
Ronald Mariano. “Community
hospitals offer high-quality
care to the most vulnerable
patient populations at affordable
rates. Our efforts to control
health care cost growth
depends on their continued
existence.”
The legislation continues the
House’s commitment to health
care as demonstrated in Massachusetts’s
health care reform
law of 2006 and the landmark
cost containment law of 2012.
Community hospitals opernorah,”
said Baron, adding
that the Greeks had destroyed
the oil flasks. “They calculated
that it would take eight days
to make new oil.”
However, one of the Maccabees
discovered a lone oil
flask which had somehow
already facing. What everyone
should do now is get vaccinated
if they have not received the
vaccine. If eligible for a booster,
now is the time to get one.”
Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, chief
of the Infectious Diseases Division
at Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, shared a different
opinion, saying it is likely
that Omicron is already in Massachusetts.
“I’m sure it’s here,”
he said.
Kuritzkes said he was very
surprised to learn that the new
variant had been detected in
Australia, which has extremely
tight COVID-19 restrictions.
“It’s highly mutated,” he said of
Omicron. “This is why people
need to get vaccinated.”

North Atlantic Carpenters Union
cites labor dispute at 600 Broadway
By Christopher Roberson
O
rganizer Martin Sanchez
and the North Atlantic
States Regional Council of Carpenters
are crying foul because
Everett carpenters are not being
allowed to work on the
new mixed-use building at 600
Broadway.
Callahan Construction was selected
as the general contractor
for the project, which is known
as The 600 Apartment Complex.
Callahan then hired Optiline Enterprises
as a subcontractor. According
to Optiline’s website,
the company specializes in interior
and exterior steel framing,
drywall and drywall finishes
as well as insulation and soundproofing.
“That
company doesn’t comply
with the area standards,” Sanchez
said when the protest began
on December 1. “We don’t
want a union contract; we just
want a responsible contractor.”
Union Regional Manager Richard
Pedi said the Carpenters
Union does not agree with Callahan’s
business practices, adding
that the company has a history
of not paying employees fairly.
Therefore, he said, the union
would never submit a bid to Callahan.
“This is not personal, this

Union and David Jean-Baptiste are pictured at the

is business,” said Pedi.
He also said Optiline is even
worse. “Optiline is one of the
biggest offenders,” he said. “Optiline’s
business practice is horrible.”
In
addition, Pedi said bids can
only be submitted to a general
contractor not to a subcontractor
as the subcontractor hires its
Whittier School

own workers.
Despite the union’s position,
Pedi said local carpenters still
deserve the opportunity to work
for Optiline. “A jobsite should
be reflective of the community,”
he said.

DiDomenico secures $1M for district
O
n November 10, State
Senator Sal DiDomenico
announced that he successfully
secured a total of $1 million
in funding for essential
aid for local community nonprofi
t organizations working
in the cities of Everett, Chelsea,
Cambridge and Charlestown.
An amendment by DiDomenico
was included in
S.2564, An Act relative to immediate
COVID-19 recovery
needs – also known as the
ARPA Spending Bill – approved
by the Massachusetts Senate.
This bill makes critical investments
into key economic sectors
in the Commonwealth,
such as housing, workforce
development, schools and
health care systems, using federal
American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) and FY21 state revenue
surplus funds.
During the height of the
COVID-19 crisis, Everett and
Chelsea were among the top
five hardest-hit communities
in the Commonwealth,
with Chelsea being ground
zero. This funding is crucial to
help boost communities that
were severely aff ected by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
On November 15, the Massachusetts
House of Representatives
and Senate appointed a
Conference Committee to reconcile
the diff erences in their
respective versions of the bill.
The bill will then be sent to the
Governor Charlie Baker for his
review and signature.
“I am extremely pleased to
have secured this funding for
our community,” said DiDomenico.
“The $1 million in funding
will create tremendous

Everett sends seniors out in style with
Thanksgiving victory over St. John’s, 44-14
Crimson Tide uses both ground and air attacks as Clerveaux, Ellerbe and Mohamed lead way
By Nick Toscani
E
verett High football has
not stumbled on Thanksgiving
Day in 20 years. Make
that 21.
Using a potent, two-way attack
and continuing defensive
blanket, the host Crimson Tide
squad sent its – count ’em –
30 seniors out on a fantastic
note, overpowering visiting St.
John's of Shrewsbury, 44-14.
A big, early halftime lead vanished
in the third quarter after
a rally by the Pioneers, but
Everett’s size and depth came
to the rescue once again and
snuffed out any upset chances.
Everett finished the season
an impressive 9-1, including
its 25th Greater Boston League
championship (6-0 GBL). St.
John’s, new to the Catholic
Conference this season, finished
at 5-6 overall.
“Thanksgiving is special and
Thanksgiving football is special
in Massachusetts,” said Everett
Head Coach Rob DiLoreto,
who helped the Tide to
three wins over Chelsea on
Thanksgiving Day in the 1980s
and was head coach in his very
first Turkey Day game. “Our seniors
led us all year and they
all played great today. We are
very happy to send them out
with a win on Thanksgiving.
Coach DiLoreto gave credit
to St. John’s, which came
back from a slow first half and
made it a close game as late as
the middle of the third quarter.
“We know that St. John’s
of Shrewsbury is a top-notch
program, and today was a big
challenge for us and kept us
focused up until today,” Coach
DiLoreto said after the win.
The highlights and highlight-makers
were many for
Everett on both sides of the
ball, starting with its offensive

strong in the first half, scoring
three times for the 21-0
halftime lead. After the two
teams both went three-andout
to start the game, Crimson
QB Ellerbe found Cam Mohamed
on a bubble screen,
and the speedster only had
to make one Pioneer miss for
a 34-yard touchdown. It was
7-0, Everett after one quarter
but that did not last long
as Clerveaux took an inside
handoff and raced to the end
zone for a 42-yard TD just one
minute into the second quarter.
Everett 6-3 tight end Marcus
Scott made a one-handed
catch and reached the ball
over the goal line for a 14-yard
TD reception, and St. John’s
was down by three scores at
halftime. Everett led 21-0 at
the halftime break (though it
seemed like so much more to
the visitors) and appeared destined
for a lopsided victory before
devouring a well-earned
Thanksgiving Day meal.
Not so fast, said the Pioneers.
St. John’s, led by gigantic 6-5
quarterback Ryan Miller, rallied
back with touchdowns on
consecutive drives to start the
third quarter and take a big
chunk out of the Everett lead,
making it 21-14, with plenty of
ballgame left to go.
“At that point in the game,
when we’re down only by one
score, and we have the momentum,
that’s when you really
have to put your foot on
the gas pedal,” St. John’s Head
Coach John Andreoli said.
But this hardly could have
sat well with the home team,
and in their final game in a
Tide uniform, the three main
men of the Everett offensive
took control behind their sturdy
offensive line and made it
all-Crimson the rest of the way.
Adoni Santos banged through
a 26-yard field goal from the
SJS 9-yard line to extend the
Everett lead to 24-10 on its
next possession, a strong answer
to the Pioneer pushback.
With 3:38 left in the third quarter,
Ellerbe handed off to “GoTo”
Clerveaux, who busted
out for a 38-yard touchdown
run and, after a Santos PAT, an
Everett’s defender Pedro Rodrigues grabbed the jersey of the St. John’s

Stadium in Everett.
again commanding Everett
lead, 31-14, at the close of the
third. For only the fourth time
this season, due to some blowout
leads against GBL competition,
the Tide starters were
playing this one out on both
sides of the ball. Mohamed
broke a 39-yard touchdown
reception off a quick screen
from Ellerbe five minutes into
the fourth quarter to make
it 38-14. Senior Richie Malloy
leaped over two would-be
tacklers into the end zone with
just under six minutes to play
in the game for the 44-14 lead

New England’s Matthew Slater Uses ‘My Cause, My Cleats’
Campaign to Shine Light on ‘Fill the Stadium’ Initiative
OLORADO SPRINGS,
COLO. — Every year, the
NFL takes part in “My Cause,
My Cleats,” a collaboration
between the NFL and players
where athletes have the opportunity
to represent hundreds
of charitable organizations
that focus on causes
from youth wellness to sex
trafficking prevention and
support for single parents.
This year, New England Patriots’
player Matthew Slater will
go out on the field representing
Compassion International
and its Fill the Stadium (FtS,
fillthestadium.com) initiative,
a global campaign dedicated
to assist in providing essential
food, medical care and
support to impoverished children
and their families due to
the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fill the Stadium has a clear
goal: to provide food and

Patriots’ Wide Receiver Joins Compassion International’s Fill the Stadium to Aid Desperate Children Suffering Through Pandemic
In order to bring awareness
life-saving aid to 70,000 children
who missed out on relief
this year due to gaps of support
created by the Covid-19
crisis. The target of 70,000
is the average capacity of
pro-football stadiums in America.
So far, the team has raised
over $33 million and filled
nearly 67,000 seats—but there
are still children who desperately
need help.
Compassion CEO Santiago
“Jimmy” Mellado commented,
“At Compassion, we believe
the empty stadiums at NFL
games last season were a sobering
reminder of those who
still need essential food, health
care, and support as this crisis
continues. We are committed
to caring for 70,000 children
who were not sponsored
due to the pandemic, which is
enough children to fill an average
NFL football stadium.”
to this campaign, Fill the Stadium
is partnering with top athletes
like Patriots’ wide receiver
Matthew Slater.
“Unfortunately, the effects of
this virus have been felt hardest
in the developing world,”
Slater said. “Imagine being a
child right now... living in poverty
and not knowing what
your future may hold. It is our
goal to support 70,000 kids in
this very situation. That is why
my family and I have teamed
up with Compassion International.”
The
Fill the Stadium team
notes that $500—approximately
the same amount
most Americans would spend
for a family of four to attend a
pro-football game—will help
provide 12 months of life saving
food, nutritional supplements,
hygiene essentials,
and Covid-19 medical screenings
for children and families
in crisis.
In addition to Slater, those
holding co-leadership roles
in this charitable team effort
are Alyssa Naeher, a member
of the U.S. Olympic Women’s
Soccer Team (which won a
Bronze Medal in Tokyo); Nick
Foles, professional football
MVP quarterback; Adam Engel
of the Chicago White Sox; Sam
Burns, PGA TOUR golfer; Nick
Ahmed of the Arizona Diamondbacks;
Jordy Nelson, former
professional wide receiver;
Devin and Jason McCourty,
NFL defensive backs; Nate Solder
of the New York Giants;
Jaccob Slavin of the Carolina
Hurricanes; Brock Huard, FOX
sports broadcaster and former
professional quarterback; and
many others. Steve Stenstrom,
president of Pro Athletes Outreach,
is also playing a lead
role in the effort.
To learn more about this effort,
visit the Fill the Stadium
website, as well as Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter.
Founded in 1952, Compassion
International is a Christian
child development organization
that works to release
children from poverty in Jesus’
name. Compassion revolutionized
the fight against global
poverty by working exclusively
with the Church to lift children
out of spiritual, economic,
social, and physical poverty.
Compassion partners with
more than 8,000 churches in
25 countries to deliver its holistic
child development program
to over 2 million babies,
children, and young adults. Its
child sponsorship program has
been validated through independent,
empirical research.

Baker announces state
supported monoclonal
antibody treatment sites
T
he Baker-Polito Administration
recently announced
the deployment
of three state supported
mobile units for monoclonal
antibody (mAb) treatment
for high-risk individuals
who have been exposed
to or have COVID-19. These
new clinics have the capacity
to treat a combined 500
patients per week with therapies
that have shown to be
effective in reducing severity
of disease and keeping
COVID-19-positive individuals
from being hospitalized.
Referral from a health care
provider is required for treatment
at any of the three
new mobile clinics. Treatment
is provided at no cost
to the patient and offered regardless
of immigration status
or health insurance. Patients
should discuss with
their health care providers
whether mAb treatment is
right for them.
Two of the new mobile
units – currently in Fall River
and Holyoke – began administering
mAb treatment
to patients on November
22, and a third unit will be
deployed to Everett on December
3. These mobile clinics
will increase access to
mAb treatment in Massachusetts
for high-risk individuals
who have tested positive for
COVID-19 or who have been
exposed to someone with
COVID-19. The mobile clinic
sites can be relocated easily
based on demand.
“These mobile sites enable
individuals with early
COVID-19 or who have been
exposed to COVID-19 to be
treated quickly and safely

COUNCILLOR | FROM PAGE 4
developed a temporary plan
to control the flow of traffic
during the holiday season,
and it seems to be working
rather nicely,” he said.
The plan, which will be in
effect every weekend in December,
includes closing the
cross rotary exit which usually
allows cars to access the
mall by cutting across Revere
Beach Parkway. The entry
point to enter the rotary from
Santilli Highway will also be
closed. Therefore, drivers exiting
Santilli Highway will
need to use the right lane to
get on the Parkway. In addition,
drivers travelling westbound
on the Parkway can
use the Wellington Station
exit to reverse direction and
get to the mall from the eastbound
side.
Looking ahead, DiPierro
said either the rotary at the
mall’s entrance needs to be
redesigned or a second exit
needs to be put in. He also
said that State Representative
Joseph McGonagle recently
informed him that
funding is available through
the Transportation Bond Bill
to take steps to loosen the
congestion. “I am looking
for all stakeholders, including
city and state officials,
to come together and develop
a long-term solution,”
said DiPierro. “I’m afraid that
doing nothing will not only
be detrimental to the safety
of the visitors, but also
to the survival of the businesses
that call the Center
home.”
Police Chief Steven Mazzie
said traffic at the mall typically
picks up after Thanksgiving
and continues until after
January 1. However, there
was an unforeseen circumstance
that caused traffic to
increase earlier than expected.
“Without our knowledge,
there was a seasonal Halloween
store that had opened at
the mall and was one of the
only ones in the Metro Boston
area,” said Mazzie. “We
experienced a large traffic issue
that caught us off guard
during the last weekend of
October.”
Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie
Martins said efforts to resolve
the traffic backups have
been ongoing since 2019.
“The state has not been responsive,”
she said. “Not only
is the one exit not functional
but it’s also a safety issue
because emergency vehicles
cannot get in and out when
traffic is backed up. My hope
is that we can secure state
funds to finally get some
shovels on the ground and
address the matter.”

AG’s Office offers guidance on donating to charities ahead of holiday season
I
While some charities raise
sional solicitors.
“Thousands of charities in
Massachusetts rely on donations
to help provide critical
services and resources to individuals
and communities, especially
as we continue to face
challenges from the COVID-19
pandemic,” said Healey. “If you
are in a position to give, be sure
to do your research and make
informed decisions in order to
maximize the impact of your
donation.”
funds on their own, others pay
professional solicitors to solicit
donations from the public, and
solicitors are required by statute
to register with the Massachusetts
Attorney General’s Office.
Conventional professional
solicitors fundraise through
phone, mail and door-to-door
campaigns. The 2020 Professional
Solicitor Bulletin outlines
the financial results that
solicitors and charities report
from campaigns conducted in
Massachusetts in 2020, a year
where many charities faced
fundraising challenges due to
the pandemic, with new restrictions
around in-person events,
along with cancelations and
solicitations that were limited.
In 2020, 44 conventional professional
solicitors collected
$93 million through campaigns
conducted in Massachusetts.
While the amount kept by professional
solicitors varied widely
among solicitors, only approximately
$40 million ended
up with the actual charities. The
2020 report is consistent with
campaign reports from the last
five years, in which conventional
professional solicitors transferred
less than 50 percent of
funds they raised to charities.
However, the total revenue
that all professional solicitors
reported as having raised in
2020 campaigns conducted in
Massachusetts increased from
approximately $950 million in
2019 to $1.2 billion in 2020.
This increase is largely due to
three professional solicitors
that employed unconventional
methods: an investment management
firm fundraising for
a donor-advised fund, an online
fundraising platform that
works with a related donor-advised
fund, and a fundraising
firm that targeted major donors.
These three professional
solicitors reported raising $1.12
billion for charities in 2020 and
transferred nearly 99 percent
of those funds to the charities.
The AG’s Office encourages
potential donors to ask questions
when they are contacted
by a professional solicitor:
• Is the solicitor calling your
The Naughty List: BBB’s 12 Scams of Christmas
W
hile 2021 is winding down,
scams targeting the public
continue to cause trouble.
Consumers should watch out for
any fraudulent schemes aimed
at swiping their cash and stealing
personal information.
The Better Business Bureau
(BBB) has a Naughty List with
the top 12 scams of Christmas
that are most likely to catch consumers
and donors off guard
during this season. Many of the
scams on this list are facilitated
through emails and social media
platforms; however, the latter
is where most people are vulnerable.
Exercise caution when
coming across social media ads
about discounted items, event
promotions, job opportunities
and donation requests, as well
as direct messages from strangers.
If you are asked to make a
payment or donation by wire or
e-transfer, through third parties,
by prepaid debit or gift cards,
treat this as a red flag.
Be mindful of these scams
that could cut into your holiday
cheer and BBB’s tips to avoid
them:
1. Misleading Social Media
Ads: As you scroll through your
social media feed, you often see
items for sale from a small business.
Sometimes the business
even claims to support a charity
to try to get you to order, or
they offer a free trial. BBB Scam
Tracker receives reports of people
paying for items that they
never receive, getting charged
monthly for a free trial they never
signed up for or receiving an
item that is counterfeit or much
different from the one advertised.
The 2020 BBB Scam Tracker
Risk Report found that online
purchase scams were the most
common cons reported to Scam
Tracker and the category with
the most victims. Do your homework
and research the company
before ordering. Check out the
business profile on BBB.org and
read the reviews.
2. Social Media Gift Exchanges:
Each holiday season this scheme
pops back up, and this year is
no different. A newer version of
this scam revolves around exchanging
bottles of wine; another
suggests purchasing $10
gifts online; another twist asks
you to submit your email into
a list where participants get to
pick a name and send money
to strangers to “pay it forward.”
There is even a twist about “Secret
Santa Dog” where you buy
a $10 gift for your “secret dog.”
In all of these versions, participants
unwittingly share their
personal information, along
with those of their family members
and friends, and are further
tricked into buying and shipping
gifts or money to unknown individuals.
And – it’s an illegal pyramid
scheme.
3. Holiday Apps: Apple’s App
Store and Google Play list dozens
of holiday-themed apps
home a volunteer or a professional
fundraiser?
• How much of every dollar
donated will go to the charity?
• Confirm the charity’s name
and the services it offers.
Professional solicitors are required
by law to disclose certain
information when asked
and may not mislead prospective
donors or misrepresent
facts. While the Attorney
General’s Office has a variety
of tools to address deceptive
practices in charitable solicitation,
the most effective means
of preventing fraud is an educated
donating public.
The Attorney General’s Office
maintains annual financial
reports from charities and
professional solicitors that opn
anticipation of the upcoming
holiday season and as
people across the state continue
to struggle amid the
COVID-19 pandemic, Attorney
General Maura Healey is advising
residents to make informed
decisions when donating to
charities. Her Office released
a new bulletin showing that
only 43 percent of the funds
that conventional professional
solicitors raised on behalf
of charities were transferred
to charitable organizations in
2020. More than half of charitable
contributions collected
were retained by the profeserate
in the Commonwealth,
which are available for public
inspection online. For additional
tips on donating, consumers
may also review the Attorney
General’s Office’s Giving
Wisely Advisory (https://www.
mass.gov/service-details/giving-wisely-to-charity)
and the
Donating Dos and Don’ts: A
Guide to Charitable Giving

watch Santa feed live reindeer,
track his sleigh on Christmas
Eve or relay their holiday

like last year when COVID-19
caused children to skip the traditional
in-person visit with Santa,
apps may play a more important
role than ever. Review privacy
policies to see what information
will be collected. Be wary
of free apps, as they can sometimes
contain more advertising
than apps that require a nominal
fee. Free apps can also contain
malware.
4. Alerts About Compromised
Accounts: BBB has been receiving
reports on Scam Tracker
about a con claiming your Amazon,
PayPal, Netflix or bank account
has been compromised.
Victims receive an email, call or
text message which explains
that there has been suspicious
activity on one of their accounts,
and it further urges them to take
immediate action to prevent
the account from being compromised.
Be extra cautious
about unsolicited calls, emails
and texts.
5. Free Gift Cards: Nothing
brings good cheer like the word
free. Scammers have been
known to take advantage of
this weakness by sending bulk
phishing emails requesting

THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll call votes in the
House or Senate last week. This
week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports
local representatives’ roll call attendance
records for the 2021 session.
No more roll calls are planned in
the House until January 2022.
The House held 121 roll calls in
2021. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates
the number of roll calls on which
each representative was present
and voting, and then calculates
that number as a percentage of the
total roll call votes held. That percentage
is the number referred to
as the roll call attendance record.
The vast majority of the 159 representatives
are not in the House
chamber during a session because
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources
tell Beacon Hill Roll Call that they
have seen as few as 12 members
in the chamber and as many as 40.
The remainder are watching the
session from their home or business
and voting remotely.
Here’s how the remote voting
system works: Eight appointed
monitors are required to be present
in the House chamber and
are each given the task of recording
the votes of approximately 20
members who are watching the
session remotely from their homes
or business offices. Each monitor
has their 20 members on a conference
call and fills out a form indicating
how each member voted.
The sheets are given to the court
officers who then give them to the
House Clerk who verifies that the
correct totals have been recorded
on the sheet and that the sheet is
signed by the monitor. The assistant
clerk records the yeas and nays
in the roll call computer, which activates
the green (voted YES) or red
(voted NO) lights on the electronic
roll call board.
Members participating remotely
then have the opportunity to see
on the broadcast how they are recorded
so that they can verify that
their vote is recorded accurately.
The tally is then displayed on the
roll call board and the presiding officer
announces the totals and the
result of the vote.
If a member wants to speak on
an issue under consideration, they
leave the conference call temporarily.
Using a different telephone,
they call into a line that patches
them into the debate. Their voice is
then heard in the House chamber
and by those watching the broadcast
online.
In the House, 86.7 percent (138
representatives out of 159) did not
miss any roll calls and have 100 percent
roll call attendance records
while 13.3 percent (21 representatives
out of 159) have missed one
or more roll calls.
The representative who missed
the most roll calls is Rep. Meghan
Kilcoyne (D-Northborough) who
missed 15, resulting in an 87.6 percent
attendance record.
Rounding out the top six representatives
who have missed the
most roll calls are Reps. Patrick Kearney
(D-Scituate) who missed
eight roll calls (93.3 percent attendance
record); David LeBoeuf
(D-Worcester) who missed six roll
calls (95.0 percent attendance record);
Chynah Tyler (D-Roxbury)
who missed four roll calls (96.6 percent
roll call attendance record);
and Reps. Ann-Margaret Ferrante
(D-Gloucester) and Tami Gouveia
(D-Acton) who both missed three
roll calls (97.5 percent roll call attendance
record)
Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted
these six legislators and asked each
one for a comment on his or her
attendance record. Only four responded:
Reps. Kilcoyne, Kearney,
Ferrante and Gouveia. Reps. Tyler
and LeBoeuf did not respond to
repeated requests for a comment.
“I was forced to miss one full formal
session because I sat for the
Massachusetts Bar Exam at the end
of July,” said Kilcoyne. “My absence
is recorded in the House Journal
along with the explanation for the
missed votes on that one day. The
journal also reflects how I would
have voted had I been present on
that day. Other than the one day I
was forced to miss, I have a perfect
voting record.”
“As a lieutenant in the United
States Navy Reserve, I report for
active duty at least for two weeks
a year, sometimes longer depending
on the nation’s needs,” said Kearney.
“I
have been undergoing treatment
at Dana Farber,” said Ferrante.
“I take my role as a state representative
very seriously, so when
I experienced technical difficulties
in dialing in during one of our formal
sessions, I quickly alerted the
clerk,” said Gouveia. “While my roll
call vote for quorum was unable to
be recorded, I did record two votes
in favor of the two bills before the
House that day.”

CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS
The percentage listed next to the
representative’s name is the percentage
of roll call votes on which
the representative voted. The number
in parentheses represents the
number of roll calls that he or she
missed.

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 November
22-26, the House met for a total of
26 minutes while the Senate met
for a total of 57 minutes.
Mon. Nov. 22 House 11:00 a.m.
to 11:05 a.m.
Senate 11:15 a.m. to 11:41 a.m.
Tues. Nov. 23 No House session
No Senate session
Wed. Nov. 24 House 11:02 a.m.
to 11:23 a.m.
Senate 11:06 a.m. to 11:37 a.m.
Thurs. Nov. 25 No House session

Fri. Nov. 26 No House session

“YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUS”
JOSEPH D. CATALDO
MAKING YOUR ESTATE THE
BENEFICIARY OF YOUR IRA
provide for Massachusetts estate tax
savings so that when you die, you
will have taken advantage of your
$1million Massachusetts estate tax
exemption by making sure the remainder
share in your testamentary
trust is funded with enough of
the IRA or 401(k) account monies to
bring the total of all assets being distributed
to your children to at least
equal the $1million.
If your spouse is aging and you are
In most situations you would
name your spouse as your primary
beneficiary of your IRA or 401(k) account.
If you were to die, your spouse
would be able to establish his or
her own spousal IRA account and
would be able to defer withdrawals
until age 72, at which time your
spouse would then be required to
take out required minimum distributions
(RMD’s) over his or her life
expectancy.
One reason why you might wish to
make your estate the primary beneficiary
would be to actually protect
the remaining IRA or 401(k) monies
in the event your surviving spouse
were to go into a nursing home. If the
estate were to be named the beneficiary
of your IRA or 401(k) account,
you would include a testamentary
trust provision in your Last Will and
Testament which would take effect
once your Will is allowed. The testamentary
trust would provide for discretionary
distributions of income
and principal in order to benefit your
surviving spouse.
One of the downsides to this, of
course, is the cost and time associated
with the probate process. Another
downside to this is the remaining
monies in the IRA or 401(k) account
would have to be distributed over
a five-year period with the passage
of the SECURE act. Income taxes will
have to be paid each year which will
have a negative impact on the ability
of the account to grow over time.
The upside of this strategy is that
MassHealth does not treat testamentary
trusts the same as irrevocable
trusts and the transfer penalty provisions
do not apply to these trusts as
well. There is no five-year look back
period to be concerned with. With irrevocable
trusts, there can only be income
distributed to the Settlor, not
principal. With a testamentary trust,
principal distributions are allowed
to be distributed to the surviving
spouse without any negative impact
on MassHealth eligibility.
If the testamentary trust is structured
with a remainder share and a
marital share, this strategy may also
concerned about a future nursing
home admission, and are also concerned
about providing for all of your
spouse’s health care needs, daily living
expenses, housing needs, etc.,
then this is one strategy to at least
consider.

Baker announces start of
public ice skating season
T
he Baker-Polito Administration recently announced
that the state Department of Conservation & Recreation
(DCR) has opened state-managed ice rinks for free
public skating through the winter season, with the exception
of Kelly Outdoor Rink in Boston, which is scheduled
to open on Saturday, December 18, weather permitting.
DCR ice rinks will continue to adhere to COVID-19 guidance,
which requires all visitors and staff within public areas
of the rinks to wear a mask. Appropriate signage has
been posted throughout the facilities to remind visitors of
the requirements.
“We are excited to again announce the start of free ice
skating at DCR managed rinks for people of all abilities to
enjoy skating with friends and family,” said Acting DCR Commissioner
Stephanie Cooper. “As part of our commitment
to providing the people of Massachusetts with safe and engaging
recreational spaces, the Baker-Polito Administration
continues to invest in our first rate state park facilities, including
ice rinks, as a way to promote fitness, well-being,
and community pride.”
Public ice skating times and locations of DCR-managed
rinks, as well as a full list of all DCR-owned rinks, can be
found on DCR’s webpage. Visitors are advised to call ahead
concerning the availability of ice skate rentals and snack
concessions. Additionally, adaptive programming is offered
during the winter season through DCR’s Universal
Access Program. To learn more about UAP, please visit the
program’s webpage (https://www.mass.gov/orgs/universal-access-program)
where upcoming events are posted.

personal information to receive
free gift cards. In some of these
emails, scammers impersonate
legitimate companies, like Starbucks,
and promise gift cards
to loyal customers who have
been supporting their business
throughout the pandemic. They
might also use pop-up ads or
send text messages with links
saying you were randomly selected
as the winner of a prize.
If you have received an unsolicited
email with gift card offers,
do not open it. Instead, mark it
as Spam or Junk. However, if you
opened the email, do not click
on any links.
6. Temporary Holiday Jobs:
Retailers typically hire seasonal
workers to help meet the demands
of holiday shoppers.
Shippers and delivery services
are top holiday employers this
year because of the increase in
online orders and the need to
get most of these packages delivered
before Christmas. These
jobs are a great way to make
extra money, sometimes with
the possibility of turning into
a long-term employment opportunity;
however, jobseekers
need to be wary of employment
scams aimed at stealing money
and personal information from
job applicants. Keep an eye out
for opportunities that seem too
good to be true.
7. Look-Alike Websites: The
holiday season brings endless
emails offering deals, sales and
bargains. Be wary of emails with
links enclosed. Some might lead
to look-alike websites created by
scammers to trick people into
downloading malware, making
dead-end purchases and sharing
private information. If you
are uncertain about the email,
do not click any of the links. Instead,
hover over them to see
where they reroute.
8. Fake Charities: Typically, 40
percent of all charitable donations
are received during the
last few weeks of the year; however,
due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
many organizations had
to cancel their usual fundraising
events and awareness campaigns
and are now inviting donors
to support online. Donors
are advised to look out for fraudulent
charities and scammers
pretending to be individuals in
need. Avoid impromptu donation
decisions to unfamiliar organizations.
Responsible organizations
will welcome a gift tomorrow
as much as they do today.
Verify a charity at BBB’s give.
org. Where possible, donate to
the charity through their website
and use a credit card.
9. Fake Shipping Notifications:
More consumers are making
purchases online; there is also an
increase in the number of notifications
about shipping details
from retailers and carriers. Scammers
are using this new surge to
send phishing emails with links
enclosed that might allow unwanted
access to your private information
or download malware

10. Pop Up Holiday Virtual
Events: This year many local
in-person events, such as popup
holiday markets or craft fairs,
have moved online. Scammers
are creating fake event pages,
social media posts and emails

the event is free, watch for scammers
trying to claim otherwise.

Low or ridiculously priced luxury
goods, jewelry, designer clothing,

high demand. Be very cautious
when considering purchasing
these high-value items from individuals
through social sites.
12. Puppy Scams: Many families,
especially those with children,
might be considering to
add a furry friend to their household
this year; however, you
could fall victim to a pet scam,
which are on the rise this year.
Request to see the pet in person
before making a purchase.
