DiDomenico addresses false statements over proposed soccer stadium By Neil Zolot A ny action on a proposal to borrow $11,400,000 for improvements to the old Everett High School was delayed at the City Council meeting on Monday, April 8, based on a lack of information available to some members. In a letter to the Council, Mayor Carlo DeMaria requested the matter be taken up at the April 22 meeting “until the body has all the information they requested because City Councillor’s requests to tour the building have not had the opportunity to do so.” “Why are we dragging this out?” Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin asked in reference to her and others not being able to see the top fl oors of the building. “We asked to see it and were told we couldn’t.

House pass bills to remove outdated and offensive terms in state laws and change Mass. Rehabilitation Commission’s name to ‘Massability’ O n April 3, 2024, Rep. Joe McGonagle, along with his colleagues in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, passed two bills concerning terminology. One bill updates the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) by removing outof-date and off ensive terms related to persons with disabilities. One bill renames the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) to “MassAbility.” “As lawmakers, we know that words matter,” said Speaker of the House Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation is our latest eff ort to ensure that our state laws do not use antiquated words that carry negative connotations, words that also serve as a reminder of past injustices. I would like to thank Chairman Livingstone and the entire Joint Committee of Children, Families, and Persons with Disabilities, as well as Governor Healey and the bill sponsors, for their work on this important legislation.” “In 2024, we as legislators in Massachusetts should absolutely be the ones leading the way in inclusivity and ridding our laws of outdated terms,” said McGonagle. “This bill is a relatively small act that will make a diff erence for so many in the Commonwealth. I’m very proud of my colleagues for choosing to make this bill a priority.” “The name ‘MassAbility’ will help to reduce stigma and better reflect the strengths and capabilities of the people we serve,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We’re grateful to Speaker Mariano and the House for advancing this critical legislation.” An Act relative to individuNeed a hall for your special event?

Originally fi led by Governor Healey, the House also passed An Act to rename the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, MassAbility, to refl ect the self-determination and limitless possibilities of people with disabilities (H.4528) and to update the outdated terms included in its enabling statute.

Statements of Support The Arc of Massachusetts: “The Arc of Massachusetts is grateful for the passage of the Archaic Language Bill. This legislation has been a priority to The Arc and we appreciate the eff orts made by the sponsors of the bill and our legislative champions at the MA State House. Thank you to the past and present Chairs and members of the Joint Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. Special recognition to the self-advocates who led the way and never gave up. Words hold power! The language people use is important and influences thoughts and attitudes about people and their capabilities. The use of inappropriate language in society and in our Massachusetts General Law perpetuates negative stereotypes about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This legislation will not just create legal change but also social change. The Arc strongly supports the passage of this bill as a sign that Massachusetts is listening and will support people with IDD by using thoughtful and positive language in the laws.” Disability Law Center Executive Director Barbara L’Italien: “Removing archaic language in legislation plays an important role in reducing social stigma and ensuring that state agencies and courts view people with disabilities as entitled to full, equal, and integrated lives in the community.” City of Everett to Host Spring Bash Youth Dance youth in grades 4-6 are invited to enjoy an evening of fun, dancing, music and games E VERETT, MA – Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce the City of Everett Youth Development and Enrichment Department, in collaboration with the Everett Youth Commission, will host the Spring Bash Youth Dance on Friday, May 10, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Everett Recreation Center (47 Elm Street).

A lifelong goal, Jean will be running the city’s 128th race with PCSS students cheering for him along the famed route. “You can run a million different marathons, but you have to run Boston to be a legitimate runner,” said Jean. “The minute you say you’re running Boston, there’s a level of acceptance.” Now the Dean of PCSS in Everett, Jean began his career teaching Health and Physical Education in Boston Public Schools. From there, he transitioned to South Boston High as Director of Student Support and part of their administrative team. He is now in his third year with PCSS as the Dean and track and football coach. He credits his extracurricular athletic endeavors to the support he has within PCSS. “I found a community here, and it has really helped me to focus on training,” said Jean. “Not wanting to let the community down, it’s a sense of pride.” A former football player at Charlestown High, Jean began running to stay healthy. When friends started encouraging him to run 5ks, he set out to tackle the Chicago Marathon in 2021. It was at that race that Jean set his sights on Boston. While he is proud of his Chicago accomplishment and other out-of-state races he has run, he says that running his hometown race is his lifelong goal. Dean Jean runs with the Heartbreakers of the Heartbreak Hill Running Co., a Boston institution. His running team and Coach, Dan, have PCSS Dean of Students Vick Jean along the Boston Marathon training route kept him motivated and disciplined in his quest to complete the Boston Marathon. The team has trained every Saturday since Christmas of 2023 despite the fickle and inclement New England weather. Part of his training includes proper nutrition, as PCSS students have been quick to remind him. “On Fridays, we get pizza. Some students remind me that I can’t have it,” said Jean. “They care. They will say, ‘You have to finish the race, no pizza for you!’ They keep me honest.” PCSS students and student-athletes coached by Jean will be along the course this Monday to cheer on their 50 mentor and coach as he accomplishes his goal. Seeing them there keeps Jean excited and focused, and his biggest advice to his students and novice runners is to stay the course and keep reaching for the next goal. Post-race, Jean’s next goal is to procure an “extra-large vanilla milkshake,” a treat training has prevented him from enjoying.

An MOU was put together with environmental groups. They initiated it and insisted on a stadium only if the Designated Port Area [DPA] classifi cation is lifted. The Conservation Law Foundation was at the table and chose not to participate in the fi nal agreement because they didn’t get their way. I resent when you don’t get your way and walk away and imply there are backroom deals. “There is no process in which a shovel goes into the ground if the DPA is lifted. There is an extensive public process. The DPA is lifted to get to the public process. There is no process if the DPA isn’t lifted.” DiDomenico spoke after comments made by resident Mayra Gutierrez. “Proposals to build a stadium near the [Encore] casino are redundant and oblivious due to congestion in that part of the city,” she said. “Traffi c issues alone make the p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Everett Recreation Center (47 Elm St.). The program is running from April 8 to June 7. Registration is required to participate.

Navigating through Everett might become overwhelming due to the anticipated disruption. Challenges could impact residents who are commuting to work or school. The construction landscape is already littered with new establishments. The welfare of the people should be fi rst and foremost rather than expanding the infrastructure.” Later in the meeting, in response to a resolution introduced by Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins “that the administration provides an update on the process to renegotiate the Encore host agreement including adding a public safety component,” City Clerk Sergio Cornelio read a message from DeMaria that “my team and I have met with representatives from Encore. Please be assured I have conveyed the Council’s interest in a public safety facility, specifi cally a fi re safety facility.” “I’m happy to hear this has come up,” Martins reacted. At the suggestion of City Council President Robert Van Campen, the matter was referred to the Government Operations, Public Safety & Public Service Subcommittee. Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky brought this up at the February 12 meeting, feeling the casino increased the number of police and fi re calls to that area. ׉ 7cassandra://-nAjITbBvwZTN0UdiuS3Yd3xf46fYSrwPwOKMAoHOTw-`̰f4C_R׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 12, 2024 Page 7 Everett Kiwanis Donates to Evelyn’s Little Public Libraries Network T he Everett Kiwanis recently donated $1,000 to Evelyn Gayhart to establish a new little public library in the City of Everett.

Lawn care generally falls into three categories: landscaping, lawn maintenance and sprinkler systems. Before selecting a business, evaluate your needs. Some businesses specialize in one area, while others offer various services. Landscaping: Landscaping businesses design landscapes for designated areas, select the appropriate plants and provide and install the plants. Lawn maintenance: Services generally include mowing, edging, weeding of flower beds, treating for insect disease, weed control, trimming of shrubs, irrigation systems checks and fertilizing. Sprinkler systems/irrigation: Services provided by sprinkler system businesses include design installation, general maintenance and repair. Check with your state to see if special licenses are required to do this work. There are many things that your lawn might need depending on the season. This includes pH testing, aerating the soil, fertilization, filling in bald spots, trimming overgrowth and planting seasonal flowers and plants. While many consumers choose to make lawn maintenance a do-ityourself project, some prefer to leave it to the professionals. Hiring a landscape contractor or lawn maintenance service gives homeowners the professional help they need. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers the following tips when considering hiring a lawn care professional: • Research and gather information. Once you have decided what services you need and your budget, get recommendations from friends and neighbors with lawns you admire. You can search for a business’s BBB Business Profile at BBB.org to get free information on their history of complaints, read customer reviews and see if they are a BBB Accredited Business. You can get a list of BBB Accredited lawn maintenance companies. Always look for the BBB Seal. It’s the Sign of a Better Business. • Ask for a lawn inspection. Services that quote a price without seeing your lawn cannot be sure what your lawn might need. Businesses will sometimes charge you to discuss specific landscaping ideas to protect themselves against clients who want to get their ideas and implement them themselves. They often credit you for the initial fee if you contract with the business. • Have a clear scope of work before asking for estimates. This includes defining the area to work on and what you want to be done. When getting bids, don’t compare apples with oranges. Make sure that each business has included the same services. Also, be sure that each business breaks the cost down similarly (per visit, month, year, etc.). • Ask for references and pictures of other jobs they installed or maintained. Ask the landscaper to provide references from previous clients. If possible, visit these locations to get a firsthand view of the quality of their work. Ask the references about their experiences with the landscaper’s services and professionalism and the quality of work performed. Also, inquire about the landscaper’s expertise and experience. Ask about their training, qualifications and any other certifications related to landscaping or horticulture. • Get specifics on prices and be clear on what services are included. Are you paying for a specific project or ongoing maintenance? Discuss your specific landscaping needs and make sure the landscaper offers the services you require, whether it’s lawn care, design, installation, maintenance or other specialized services. Do you pay by the mow or by the month? Many businesses allow you to pay after each treatment and might offer a discount if you pay the annual cost upfront.

Does mowing include edging? Who bags and disposes of the clippings and other refuse? Find out what happens if you have a problem between contracts. Will the service calls be free, or is there a charge? If you are maintaining the landscaping yourself, ask for detailed instructions and be prepared to follow them. Also verify the landscaper’s clean-up process. A reputable landscaper should leave your property in a clean and orderly condition. • Check if the lawn care provider needs a license to work in your area. Confirm that the landscaper holds the necessary licenses and insurance. This protects you and the landscaper in case of accidents, injuries or damage during the project. In particular, they might need a license to apply pesticides. Ensure that the business provides liability and worker’s compensation insurance to protect you in the event of an accident. Ask for a certificate of insurance from the business’s insurance agent. • Look for membership in a professional organization. A service’s membership in one or more professional lawn care associations and active participation in the local community are positive signs. Professional organizations, such as the National Association of Landscape Professionals, keep members informed on new pest control methods, safety, training, research and regulation developments. Most associations have a code of ethics for members to follow. Affiliation with a professional group is one indication that a company strives for quality in its work. • Ask about materials and plant choices. If your project involves plantings, inquire about the types of plants, trees and materials the landscaper plans to use. Ensure they are suitable for your climate and preferences. • Get everything in writing and read all agreements and contracts carefully. Make sure the contract contains all topics discussed and promises made. Document the duration and expected results of the lawn care service. Some consumers are unaware that contracts can be open-ended, meaning they renew until the client specifically terminates. A consumer reported to BBB in the summer of 2018 that “I never agreed to any White Grub control in addition to my regular lawn service, nor did they leave me a message saying anything about this. Instead, I just got billed for it. I called and they said that the service this year is the same as the service last year.” Ensure you understand how that works and how you can cancel. The contract should list the quantity, size and types of plants and other materials. Look for guarantees and refund policies. Some services might offer a guarantee of performance. Others might offer refunds if they fail to meet your expectations. Get copies of anything you sign. • Ask about timing and safety. Will the work be done while you are home or away? Are there safety precautions you need to take during or after work? If pesticides are used, do you need to protect your family or pets? Is the timing of the application good for the weather conditions? A consumer reported to BBB in 2019 that “[…] the last herbicide had been applied when the weather was too hot (85 degrees or above) and that it burned the grass.” • Discuss payment and warranties. Discuss payment terms, including the deposit, payment schedule and accepted payment methods. It’s better to pay by check or credit card, but if you make full payment in cash, be sure to obtain written verification from the business with a list of labor and material charges covered by the payment. Also, ask if the landscaper offers any guarantees or warranties on their work. This can give you peace of mind that they stand behind the quality of their services. By following these tips, you’ll better understand the landscaper’s qualifications, services and approach to your landscaping needs. Choosing a BBB Accredited landscaper ensures you work with a professional who values integrity, transparency and customer satisfaction.

(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School softball team (2-0) showed right away this spring that they are determined to repeat as Greater Boston League (GBL) champions after winning its opener going away against host Chelsea, 29-0. “This was our first game, and we had to make the adjustment of hitting off a machine to slower (live) pitching,” said coach Stacy Poste. “We also made the plays on defense when (Chelsea) runners did get on base, while (pitcher) Peyton (Warren) and (catcher Alessandra) Foster did an amazing job to keep Chelsea batters off balance.” Warren not only shutout her youthful Chelsea counterparts, she also allowed them no hits over five innings, before the game was called, because of the mercy rule. To complete her sensational pitching line, she fanned eight, and yielded only three walks. The Everett girls broke the game open quickly with 14 runs in the top half of the first. Freshman Olivia Dresser led off the offensive explosion with a single. Jayla Davila and Gianna Masucci followed with walks to load the bases, before Dresser scored on a passed ball. Davila also scored on a passed ball. Alexa Uga then singled, and went to second on a wild throw that allowed Masucci to score the team’s second run of the game. Ashley Seward doubled home Uga to account for the third run, and soon scored on a one-out double to right by Bryanna Mason. Arabella Cvitkusic kept the surge going with a run producing single. Alessandra Foster was hit by a pitch. Kassidy Rivera was sent in to run for her. Both runners advanced into scoring position on a passed ball. Dresser then drew a walk to reload the bases after singling to begin the uprising. Davila was hit by a pitch to knock in the sixth run. Uga then drew a two-out walk to bring home Rivera, and Seward drove in two more with a single. With runners now in scoring position, Warren helped her own cause by blasting a three-run homer. Cvitkusic tripled in Mason to close out the scoring in the first frame. Dresser tacked on two more runs in the second with a round tripper to left. Masucci was then credited with a oneout walk, before Uga singled. Seward followed with a walk to load the bases. Warren was then hit by a pitch to drive in the third run of the inning. Everett scored four more times in the third. Seward and Warren singled in one run apiece, and Mason doubled home two. The visitors added seven more runs to the scoreboard in the fourth. Freshman Mia Allen helped power this outburst with a grand slam. The Tide scored once more in the fifth, and final frame on a bases loaded walk. Warren then ended the game in style by striking out the side in the home half. The Tide took on host Lynn Classical Tuesday afternoon (April 9), and they proceeded to double up the Rams, 168. More on this game in next week’s Everett Advocate. The locals then faced host Lynn English the next day after press deadline, before going up against non-league host O’Bryant later today, April 12, starting at 3:45 p.m. They will return home to host Somerville at Glendale Park on Patriots Day (April 15) at 10 a.m. Tide baseball succumbs to Lynn Classical to even record at one Everett will head to Somerville on patriots Day morning to face the rival Highlanders By Joe McConnell A fter beating Chelsea 14-4 to open up the season, the Everett High School baseball team (1-1) dropped a 12-1 decision to visiting Lynn Classical at Glendale Park Tuesday afternoon, April 9. “We didn’t capitalize on our opportunities in this game,” said first-year head coach Malik Love. “We played great defense for five innings, but then we started to make some mistakes. We have to find a way to remain confident even after the opposition might have had a good inning against us. We were already defeated going into our last at-bat in this game.” The Rams led, 3-0 through four innings, before they started to play situational baseball to widen the gap on the Everett boys. They appear to be ready to repeat as Greater Boston League (GBL) champs after winning 17 regular season games one year ago. Alex Lara pitched four-plus innings against the Rams, before being relieved by Nordeivy Santana and Reinaldo Santiago, who each pitched one inning. They had help from their defense, specifically from centerfielder Albert Santana. Isaiah Goffigan, who normally pitches or plays first base, had to go behind the plate on short notice against Classical, and he did really well back there, according to Love. The Tide managed just two scattered hits in this game on singles by Charles Govostes and Lara. As the weather is finally starting to warm up, the Tide is ready to play more than once a week. Following the Lynn English game at home Wednesday afternoon (April 10) after press deadline, the Tide will head to Somerville on Patriots Day (April 15) to take on the Highlanders at Trum Field, starting at 10 a.m. They will be at Revere two days later to face the Patriots at the same time. ׉ 7cassandra://4NHiC5Cf7NNlh8OlCLdYXXh7QGBjyHao8_4VRbrgWc0,K`̰f4C_Z׉E THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 12, 2024 Page 15 Tide girls’ lacrosse falls to Somerville, Medford to begin the regular season Everett heads to lowell to take on the Red Raiders later today, before hosting the Highlanders next Thursday By Joe McConnell fter waiting out the rain, sleet and snow throughout most of last week, the Everett High School girls’ lacrosse team (0-2) fi nally got its season underway. The Crimson Tide girls took a trip to Somerville last Friday (April 5) to face the Highlanders at Dilboy Stadium in the regular season opener. They ended up losing to the home team, 16-2. It’s just the beginning of their second year as a program. S ophomo r e Amand a A Verteiro paced the off ensive attack by scoring both goals for first-year coach Chelsea McNiff ’s squad. Senior goalie Khadija Ailane came up with eight saves. The Tide then dropped a 16-4 decision to visiting Medford Monday afternoon at 7-Acres. Vertiero maintained her torrid scoring pace with three more goals. She was also credited with one assist. Senior Brigitte Reyes Cortez accounted for that tally. Ailane made 10 saves throughout the contest. “We had tons of fun in both games,” said McNiff after the Medford game. “I was impressed by the team’s enthusiasm and hustle. We prioritized communication on both off ense and defense against Medford, and as a result we played great defense against RABIES CLINIC | FROM PAGE 9 are vaccinated against rabies.” The biggest rise of wild animals in the area have been coyotes, with other common animals aff ected with rabies being raccoons, skunks and opossums.

The plans indicate that the eight parking spaces provided will consist of four sets of tandem spaces. Tandem parking is prohibited pursuant to Section 17.J. A variance is required. b. The plans submitted do not indicate how the screening requirements of Section 17.L will be satisfied. The Applicant should submit a landscaping and fencing plan. c. Section 17.M prohibits parking spaces within eight feet of a window to a habitable room. It appears that the two parking spaces closest to the structure will be less than eight feet from such a window. The Applicant must either demonstrate compliance with this requirement or seek a variance. d. Section 17.O requires submission of a detailed parking plan for parking lots designed to contain more than five vehicles. No such plans have been provided. e. Section 17.O.5 requires an access driveway of at least 18 feet in width for any parking lot designed to contain more than five vehicles. According to the plans submitted, the existing driveway is only 14 feet wide. A variance is required. Please also note that Site Plan Review by the Planning Board is required, pursuant to Section 19.A of the Zoning Ordinance.

Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett), House Chair of the Transportation Committee. “This legislation demonstrates a commitment to funding for local transportation projects with again, our new program especially for funding to rural towns. I am pleased to support this important piece of legislation which provides more tools for towns to tackle their project backlog in time for the new fiscal year starting in July.” “The … program is an important state-municipal partnership that provides a vital revenue source to help cities and towns maintain local roads and bridges,” said House GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones. “With this funding, communities can address their local transportation infrastructure needs and priorities on an annual basis. The bill also provides funding for several municipal grant programs that offer additional resources to assist cities and towns in carrying out critical transportation-related initiatives.” Adam Chapdelaine, CEO of the Mass Municipal Association, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him if he supports the funding as is or would like to have seen it increased. Ex-CEO Geoff Beckwith often urged the House and Senate to substantially increase the amount of funding. (A “Yes” vote is for the $375 million package.) Rep.

Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GOVERNOR’S COUNCIL APPROVES GOV. HEALEY’S PARDON OF MISDEMEANOR MARIJUANA POSSESSION – The Governor’s Council unanimously approved Gov. Maura Healey’s executive order that pardons misdemeanor marijuana possession convictions that occurred in Massachusetts before March 14, 2024. The pardons will apply to thousands of people who were convicted of the offense which is no longer an offense. The Bay State decriminalized marijuana possession in 2008 and then legalized it on a ballot question in 2016. In October 2022, President Biden issued a presidential proclamation that pardoned many federal and D.C. offenses for simple marijuana possession. In December 2023, he expanded that pardon to include more offenses and issued a call for governors to take action to pardon marijuana convictions in their states. “Massachusetts made history today,’ said Gov. Maura Healey. “Thousands of Massachusetts residents will now see their records cleared of this charge, which will help lower the barriers they face when seeking housing, education or a job … I’m proud that Massachusetts was able to answer his call to action in this momentous way. I hope that other states will follow our lead as we work together to make our communities more fair and equitable.” “People in every community across the state, especially Black and Brown people, who were disproportionately charged with marijuana-related crimes over the years will no longer be punished for something that is now legal in our state,” said Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. “Let’s be clear: Tens of thousands BHRC | SEE PAGE 20 ׉ 7cassandra://OtnzapnsmhaI_wtzdWFdwt3YyRkQmO5PoeEbaPr-Jes`̰f4C_^׉E#mTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 12, 2024 Page 19 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Choosing a Senior Community That Offers All Levels of Care Dear Savvy Senior, Can you help me identify some good senior living communities that off ers all levels of housing and care from independent living to nursing home care? I am in my late seventies and know I need to downsize from my current house, but I want my next move to be my last. One Move Mary Dear Mary, If you want your next move to be your last, an all-inclusive retirement community – also known as a continuing-care retirement community (or CCRC) – is a great option to consider. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you locate one. What are CCRCs? CCRCs are diff erent from other types of senior housing because they provide all levels of housing, services and care in one convenient location. While the appearance and services of CCRCs can vary greatly, most provide apartments or sometimes single-family homes for active independent seniors. In addition, they also off er onsite assisted living for seniors who require help with basic living tasks like bathing, dressing or going to the bathroom, and nursing home care for residents when their health declines. CCRCs also provide a variety of resort-style amenities and services that include community dining halls, exercise facilities, housekeeping, and transportation, as well as many social and recreational activities. But be aware that all these services come at a hefty price. Most communities have entry fees that range from less the $100,000 to more than $1 million, plus ongoing monthly fees that generally range from $2,000 to $5,000 for singles ($3,000 to $6,000 for couples) depending on the facility, services and the contract option you choose. With more than 2,000 CCRCs in operation throughout the U.S, fi nding a facility that fi ts your lifestyle, needs and budget will require some legwork. Here are some steps that can help you proceed. Make a list: To fi nd CCRCs in the area you want to live go to MyLifeSite.net and Caring.com, which provide online lists. Once you’ve located a few, call them to fi nd out if they have any vacancies, what they charge and if they provide the types of services you want. Take a tour: Many CCRCs encourage potential residents to stay overnight and have a few meals in their dining hall. During your visit, notice the upkeep of the facility and talk to the current residents to see how they like living there. Also, check out the assisted living and nursing facilities, and fi nd out how decisions are made to move residents from one level of care to another. Do some research: While on your tour, fi nd out who owns the CCRC and get a copy of their most recently audited fi nancial statement and review it. Also fi nd out their occupancy rate. Unless it’s a newer community fi lling up, occupancy below 80 percent can be a red fl ag that the facility is having fi nancial or management problems. To investigate the CCRC’s long-term care services call your state long-term care ombudsman (see LTCombudsman.org) who can tell you if the assisted living and nursing care services had any complaints or problems. You can also use Medicare’s nursing home compare tool at Medicare.gov/care-compare. Understand the contract and fees: Most CCRCs offer three types of contracts: Lifecare, or Type A contracts, which have the highest entry fee but covers all levels of long-term care as needed; Type B, or modifi ed contracts that have lower entry fees but limits long-term care services in the initial fee; and Type C, or fee-for-service contracts, which off er the lowest entrance fees but requires you to pay extra for long-term care if you need it. You also need to find out what yearly price increases you can expect? How much of your entry fee is refundable to you if you move or die? And what happens if you outlive your fi - nancial resources? To help you sort through all this, consult with your fi nancial advisor or lawyer before committing. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Tom Vitolo (D-Brookline) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on why he filed the bill and how he feels about its initial approval. INCREASE PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO STOP FOR A SCHOOL BUS - The House gave initial approval to a measure that adds a 7-day license suspension to the current $250 fine for not stopping for a school bus with flashing lights as children get on and off the bus. According to the American School Bus Council, an estimated more than 10 million drivers illegally pass school buses every year. In addition, one-third of children who are killed outside the school bus are between five and seven years old; nearly twothirds of bus related fatalities of school-age children occur outside the school bus; and passing vehicles are responsible for two-thirds of school bus loading and unloading fatalities. Sponsor Rep. Susannah Whipps (I-Athol) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to comment on why she filed the bill and how she feels about its initial approval. FREE PARKING FOR VETERANS (H 3533) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that would allow cities and towns to restrict two parking spaces in off street parking lots, large retail parking lots and parking garages to parking for veterans only – as long as the lot has more than 1,000 parking spaces. Municipalities would be required to erect a sign that reads as follows: “Veteran parking Only. This space is reserved for those who have served. Unauthorized vehicles may be removed at the vehicle owner’s expense.” Violators would be fined $100 and cities and towns would be allowed to tow the offending vehicles at the owners’ expense. “Supporting veterans is a fundamental duty and reserving parking spaces for them through this bill is a modest way to show our gratitude” said sponsor Sen. Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence). “It’s a small step, but it reflects our ongoing commitment to honor their service.” BAN COAL ROLLING (H 1698) – The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would prohibit anyone driving a diesel-powered vehicle from releasing significant quantities of soot, smoke or other particular emissions that obstruct or obscure another driver’s view of the roadway. The measure also bans anyone from retrofitting a diesel-powered vehicle with a device, smokestack or other equipment that enhances the vehicle’s capacity to emit these pollutants. Violators would be fined from $100 to $1,000. “Coal rolling … is the practice of deliberately emitting soot from the modified exhaust pipes of a diesel-powered truck that can be directed at other vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians and pose a serious danger as the black smoke can intentionally impair visibility” said sponsor Rep. Brian Murray (D-Milford). “It serves no useful purpose and is clearly harmful to the environment, as well as associated with known health risks and respiratory issues. This bill would make it unlawful to add equipment to a vehicle for coal rolling and subject those who may continue this practice to a penalty of not less than $100 or more than $1,000.” USE OF BREAKDOWN LANE (H 3370) – The House gave initital approval to legislation that would double fines for motor vehicles speeding in the far-right lane, or “breakdown” lane in areas where travel in that lane is permitted during peak commuting hours. “While allowing travel in the far-right lane is essential on BHRC | SEE PAGE 21 ׉ 7cassandra://YHPk8Y-sTNoMIC-DzFBfpi8iIEJ-F-UqlWJzd_XxWOw"`̰f4C_`׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 12, 2024 Page 21 BHRC | FROM PAGE 20 some highways in the commonwealth to temporarily provide traffic relief during peak hours, many motorists use this lane as a high-speed passing lane, risking the safety of disabled motor vehicles, emergency personnel and themselves,” said sponsor Rep.

QUOTABLE QUOTES “Our administration is deeply committed not only to preventing overdoses in our state, but also providing the incredible organizations doing the work in communities with the tools they need to improve health outcomes and save lives. By investing in these diverse organizations now, we are laying the foundation for them to have the resources they need to address the overdose crisis appropriately and quickly in the future.” ---Gov. Maura Healey announcing the awarding of $2.9 million to 20 organizations led by Black, Indigenous and people of color to address substance use in the communities they serve, which continue to be disproportionately impacted by increases in overdoses. “We see the impact of the overdose epidemic every day — thousands are dying every year in Massachusetts from preventable overdoses, and we need to utilize every tool we have to address the crisis. Overdose prevention centers are proven, evidence-based facilities that can save lives and connect people to health care, treatment and recovery and their community.” ---Dave Foley, President of SEIU Local 509 announcing support for establishing overdose prevention centers in the Bay State. “We urge everyone to be vigilant when performing transactions or providing information online for RMV-related services.

Gov. Healey’s leadership in setting an ambitious yet achievable goal of 1 million solar roofs by 2030 will help turbocharge solar in Massachusetts.” --- Johanna Neumann, Acting Director of Environment Massachusetts, urging Healey and Climate Chief Hoffer to make solar energy a key part of Massachusetts’ strategy to address climate change.
