said State Representative Joseph
McGonagle during the
May 31 ceremony.
He also spoke about Lance
Corporal James Taurisano,
who graduated from Everett
High School in 1964. After
high school, Taurisano enlisted
in the U.S. Marine Corps.
and was sent to Vietnam the
following summer. On January
19, 1966, while on patrol
in the Quang Nam Province
of South Vietnam, a soldier in
Taurisanoâ€™s platoon stepped
on a landmine, and Taurisano
was one of several men who
were hit by shrapnel. Taurisano
passed away from his injuries
the following day at the
age of 19.
â€œHe was Everettâ€™s fi rst casualty
in the Vietnam War,â€ said
McGonagle.
Mayor Carlo DeMaria said his
only major regret in life is that
he never served in the military.
â€œI always wanted to,â€ he said.
DeMaria also spoke about the
history of Memorial Day. The

~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~
Governor owes Francisco UreÃ±a an apology
Dear Editor:
Veterans Assisting Veterans
is a volunteer nonprofi t organization.
We note that The Boston
Globe Spotlight teamâ€™s recent
article vindicates the former
Massachusetts Secretary
of Veteransâ€™ Services Francisco
UreÃ±a, regarding his role at
the Holyoke Soldiersâ€™ Home,
where 76 elderly veterans died
from the COVID-19 outbreak.
UreÃ±a, a decorated American
war hero, dedicated public
servant and dedicated veterans
advocate, was wrongfully
summoned to the State House
to resign last year. UreÃ±a was
used as a scapegoat for the
protection of the Baker Administration.
As a result, his resignation
caused severe damage
to his reputation and livelihood.
The
Board of Directors of Veterans
Assisting Veterans fi nds
no better time than now to demand
that Governor Baker issue
a public apology to UreÃ±a.
We call upon the people and
veterans of Massachusetts to
directly contact the governor
and his administration and demand
this public apology.
The deaths of veterans at the
Holyoke Soldiersâ€™ Home are
tragic and could have been
avoided had the governor favored
professionalism and
skills in his choice to oversee
the facility rather than political
patronage and nepotism.
Sincerely,
John A. MacDonald

Middlesex DA urges parents
and caregivers to watch out
for underage drinking
W
OBURN â€“ As summer
approaches, Middlesex
District Attorney Marian Ryan
recently reminded parents and
caregivers about the dangers
of providing alcohol to minors
in their homes. This advisory
comes as part of ongoing
prevention initiatives
that help young people and
parents think critically about
their decision-making and encourage
them to make healthy
choices. Parents and peers can
play a signifi cant role in unsafe
substance use and shape
young peopleâ€™s attitudes towards
drinking.
According to the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, teenagers
drink alcohol for the fi rst time
during June and July. As the
temperature rises, families are
more likely to take vacations
and host celebrations, barbecues
and pool days.
â€œHaving conversations about
the risks and eff ects of alcohol
and other substances and setting
and enforcing clear rules
saves lives and helps ensure
that our children and their
friends are celebrating safely
and responsibly,â€ said Ryan. â€œItâ€™s
important to acknowledge that
underage drinking is frequently
made possible by adults and
preventing it must be a priority.â€
Some tips and steps to prevent
and reduce underage
drinking include:
â€¢ Have an ongoing discussion
about the risks of alcohol
intake.
â€¢ Discourage violation of alcohol
rules by consistently enforcing
them.
â€¢ Be involved. Know who,
what, where and when.
â€¢ Provide your children with
the developmentally appropriate
knowledge, skills and motivation
to resist peer and other
pressures to drink.
â€¢ Create a plan with your children
about what to do in a risky
situation; texting, calling or going
to a safe location are helpful
ideas.
â€¢ Do not assume that other
parents have the same rules
you have.

City Council opens budget hearings
By Christopher Roberson
A
s the budget process for
fiscal year 2022 moves
forward, department heads
recently began pitching their
requests to the City Councilâ€™s
Budget Committee.
This year, Mayor Carlo DeMaria
recommended that Everett
Community Television
(ECTV) be funded at $587,687.
This figure represents an increase
of $82,219 over last year.
In response to the recent
challenges that ECTV has encountered,
Communications
Director Deanna Deveney said
$85,000 is being requested to
hire a senior video producer.
â€œAs everyone knows, there have
been significant issues over the
past year with ECTV,â€ she said
during the June 2 hearing. â€œMy
team, at this point, does not
have the technical capacity to
fix these issues on their own.â€
Deveney said this is a fulltime
position created by a prior
resignation. â€œIâ€™ve interviewed
more than 10 people,â€ she said,
adding that this would be a lateral
move for the candidate she
has in mind.
Since it is a new position,
Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone
made a motion to reduce the
salary to $75,000.
However, Councillor-at-Large
Richard Dell Isola said cutting
the salary could be detrimental
in terms of hiring the right
person. â€œI donâ€™t want to cut it
short and then weâ€™re searching
again,â€ he said.
Caponeâ€™s motion did not receive
a second; therefore, a
vote was not taken.
DeMaria has also proposed
to establish a Transportation
Department to be funded at
$490,100. The department
would be run by Jay Monty,
who is currently the transportation
planner in the Planning
and Development Department.
In this new role, Monty is
slated to receive an annual salary
of $110,000. A junior director,
an individual who recently
completed graduate school,
would also be hired at a salary
of $70,000.
â€œThatâ€™s a modest rate for that
position,â€ said Monty. â€œWeâ€™ve
done a lot with very little over
the past few years.â€
For the Everett Public Libraries,
DeMaria suggested a budget
of $1.2 million. This figure
represents an increase of
$207,480 over last year. Interim
Library Director Matthew
Lattanzi said this yearâ€™s budget
request is in line with a recommendation
from the Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners.
In addition, Lattanzi
Mayor declares June 4 as National
Gun Violence Awareness Day
said $92,000 is being requested
to fund the directorâ€™s position.
The overall salary line item for
the library is $737,839 for this
year compared to $583,223
last year.
He also said four library employees
were furloughed as
a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although they were all
given the opportunity to return
to the library, Lattanzi said, two
employees did not accept the
offer; one of them chose to retire
and one of them passed
away.

ing their graves,â€ said DeMaria.
â€œMany decorated the graves of
both the Union and the Confederate
troops as a gesture of
respect for each otherâ€™s families.â€
In 1887, Congress offi cially recognized
Memorial Day as a federal
holiday. Following the two
World Wars that resulted in the
deaths of nearly 522,000 Americans,
the decision was made to
remember every American soldier
who never came home.
â€œAs many of you know, every
Memorial Day I am deeply
moved when I think about the
true character of the soldiers
we have lost,â€ said DeMaria. â€œToday,
we come together to give
thanks to those heroes from our
own community who made the
ultimate sacrifi ce.â€
He said Everett lost a combined
215 residents in World
War I, World War II, the Korean
War and the Vietnam War. â€œWe
are living in freedom because of
their bravery and that is something
that should never be taken
for granted,â€ said DeMaria.

â€œWhen you look at the numbers,

DiDomenico also reminded

said DiDomenico, adding that
his grandfather never spoke
about the war and had no interest
in travelling to that part
of the world.
During his keynote address,
Robert Lepere, a retired warrant
offi cer of the U.S. Coast Guard,
spoke about a phone call he received
on December 2, 2012.
The Coast Guard chaplain informed
him that Executive Petty
Offi cer Terrell Horne, with whom
Lepere had served, had passed
away following a hit-and-run
collision near Santa Cruz Island,
California. Lepere said Horne
and a small boat crew left their
87-foot cutter, The Halibut, to
investigate a craft that was suspected
of conducting illegal activities.
He said the crew of the
vessel accelerated toward Horne
and his crew and deliberately
struck their infl atable boat. Although
Horne was able to pull
one of his crew members out of
harmâ€™s way, Lepere said, Horne
suffered a severe head injury
and later passed away.
Lepere retired in 2016 after 20
years with the Coast Guard and
is now a fi refi ghter with the Everett
Fire Department.

AG Healey secures nearly $800K
for consumers from auto lender
A
ttorney General Maura
Healey recently announced
that an automobile lender will
Support our advertisers and local businesses!
provide nearly $800,000 in debt
relief and refunds to Massachusetts
consumers to settle allegations
that it facilitated the sale
of defective and unsafe vehicles
by two used car dealerships
in Westport and Fall River. In an
assurance of discontinuance
that was filed in Suffolk Superior
Court, United Auto Credit
Corporation (UACC) has agreed
to provide relief to consumers
who purchased vehicles at F&R
Auto in Westport and City Line
Auto Sales, Inc. in Fall River and
financed loans through UACC.
â€œFor many consumers, buying
a car is the largest purchase
of a lifetime, and when itâ€™s defective
or inoperable, it can
have catastrophic ripple effects
on daily life and well-being, including
employment, housing,
and even health,â€ said Healey.
â€œThis settlement furthers our
officeâ€™s mission to protect consumers
from predatory and unfair
practices and secures hundreds
of thousands of dollars in
relief for those victimized by this
company.â€
UACC is a subprime automobile
finance company that contracts
with a network of automobile
dealerships nationwide,
including dealerships located
in Massachusetts. UACC
provides high-cost auto loans
to consumers with poor credit
histories through dealer-arranged
agreements, and it finances
these loans at the statutory
maximum 21 percent interest
rate.
An investigation by the Massachusetts
Attorney Generalâ€™s
Office found that UACC facilitated
the sale of defective and inoperable
vehicles by F&R Auto
and City Line by supplying the
dealerships with financing, despite
knowing of hundreds of
consumer complaints against

State Fire Marshal Everett Attorneys Donate to Everett Food Pantry
provides summer
fire safety tips
State Fire Marshal Peter Ostroskey
recently offered the following tips to
help keep residents safe this summer.
Grilling safety
Between 2016 and 2020, Massachusetts
fire departments responded
to 427 fires involving
grills, hibachis and barbecues.
These fires caused 15 civilian injuries,
six firefighter injuries and
$4 million in property damage.
In 2020 alone, there were 74
grill fires that injured one civilian,
one firefighter and caused
$454,250 in estimated damages.
Ostroskey offered these safety
tips for grilling safety:
â€¢ Always grill outdoors.
â€¢ Place grills 10 feet away from
the house and deck railings;
make sure grills are not under
eaves or overhanging branches.
â€¢ Do not use a gas or charcoal
grill on any porch, balcony or
fire escape.
â€¢ Gas grills can be used on first
floor decks or patios only if there
is an outdoor stairway to the
ground or it is at ground level.
â€¢ Keep all matches, lighters and
lighter fluid away from children.
â€¢ Create a circle of safety: Keep
children and pets three feet
away from grills; children should
never play near grills.
On April 25, 2020, at 3:52 p.m.,
the Littleton Fire Department
was called to a gas grill fire in a
single-family home. The homeowner
started the grill on the
rear deck and a while later noticed
flames coming out the
bottom. She went over to shut
the LP tank off and burned her
hands. The fire coming out the
back of the grill ignited the exterior
wall of the home and caused
$75,000 in damage.
On May 30, 2020, the Lunenburg
Fire Department responded
to a gas grill fire in a two-family
home at 5 p.m. The grill was
on a patio and ignited the exterior
wall of the home, causing
$115,000 in damages. It spread
to a nearby home, causing another
$1,000 in estimated damage.
Smoke alarms alerted the
residents.
On August 5, 2020, at 8:21
p.m., the Revere Fire Department
responded to a gas grill
fire in a two-family home. The
grill was on a third-floor porch
and ignited the wall, causing
$110,000 in damage. Smoke
alarms operated but the home
did not have fire sprinklers.
On September 13, 2020, the
Plymouth Fire Department responded
to a grill fire on the
back deck of a single-family
home. Working smoke alarms
alerted the residents, and no one
was injured at this fire. The home
had no fire sprinklers and damage
was estimated at $110,000.
Charcoal grills
Propane is the most common
grilling fuel, but many people
use charcoal grills. Here are
some charcoal grill safety tips:
â€¢ Only use charcoal starter fluid;
do not use gasoline or kerosene
to start a fire in a grill.
â€¢ Never add lighter fluid to
burning briquettes or hot coals;
doing so may cause a flash fire
and result in serious burn injuries.
â€¢
Charcoal briquettes give off
carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas that can be deadly;
always use charcoal grills outdoors
in a well-ventilated area;
never use charcoal grills indoors.
â€¢ For proper disposal of grill
ashes, allow the coals to burn
out completely and then cool for
48 hours before disposal.
â€¢ If you must dispose of ashes
before they are completely
cooled, thoroughly soak them
in water before putting them in
a metal container.
Gasoline and lawnmowers
â€œIs
your teenager finally old
enough to mow the lawn? Then
be sure to discuss gasoline safety
at the same time; talk about
why it is important to let the engine
cool before refueling,â€ said
Ostroskey.
Gasoline vapors are highly
flammable and refueling a hot
motor can ignite them. Gasoline
spilled onto clothing can
give off vapors until completely
dry and be ignited by any heat
source. Gasoline vapors can travel
a long distance to find an ignition
source, which is why gasoline
cannot be stored inside the
house. In the past five years, 338
lawn mower fires caused one civilian
death, three civilian injuries,
four fire service injuries and
an estimated loss of $1.6 million.
â€¢ Store gasoline outside only
in approved containers.
â€¢ Keep gasoline away from all
heat sources, such as smoking
materials, pilot lights, campfires
and grills.

Pride Month kicks off with opening of Everett
LGBTQ+ Youth Space and Resource Center
By Christopher Roberson
A
fter raising the Pride Flag for
the second time in Everettâ€™s
history, city and state officials
gathered to celebrate the opening
of the Everett LGBTQ+ Youth
Space and Resource Center. â€œThe
center will be a much-needed
resource to the community,â€
Mayor Carlo DeMaria said
during the June 1 ceremony.
Although the center is not
owned by the City of Everett,
DeMaria said he would work to
provide financial assistance as
needed.

The Pride Flag flaps in the
breeze beside City Hall following
the second annual flag
raising ceremony on June 1,
2021.
Mayor Carlo DeMaria
and Dom Washington, the center
will be housed in the former
Pope John XXIII High School for
the next two years. While various
activities will be available,
Mangan said, no child will ever
be forced into doing something
they do not want to do. â€œThese
kids can come to this space and
simply exist,â€ she said. â€œMy hope
is that the next generation gets
to spend more time with their
authentic selves.â€
Mangan said many individuals
in the LGBTQ community do not
come out until after high school.
â€œI hated myself for years,â€ said
Mangan. â€œAs much as I loved EvState
Senator Sal DiDomenico
State Representative Joseph
McGonagle
erett, I often felt like there wasnâ€™t
much here for me.â€
However, Mangan said she has
learned about the importance
of the LGBTQ community, adding
that many of these individuals
have become the backbone
District 5 Councillor Eileen
Duff of the Governorâ€™s Council
of the arts and entertainment
industry. â€œWeâ€™re not asking to
be normalized,â€ she said. â€œQueer
culture is definitely intentional.â€
Ward 5 School Committee
Member Marcony Almeida-Barros
said the push for LGBTQ
equality is â€œfar from over.â€ He
also said there are currently 19
legislators in other states who
are sponsoring bills that discriminate
against the youth of
the LGBTQ community. â€œThese
bills are harmful and probably
unconstitutional,â€ said Almeida-Barros.

Duff, the first openly
gay candidate to be elected to

a state office, remembered the
â€œhatred, bullying and threatsâ€ she
encountered when she made
her first run for the Governorâ€™s
Council in 2012. â€œThe difference
between what I experienced in
that campaign to what has happened
now is earth-shattering,â€
Ward 5 School Committee
Member Marcony Almeida-Barros
she
said.
However, she agreed that the
fight for equality is not finished.
â€œWeâ€™ve come a long way, but
frankly, we have a long way to
go,â€ said Duff. â€œAll we want is to
be ourselves.â€
State Senator Sal DiDomenico
said he was a cosponsor of the
Transgender Equal Rights Act in
2011. â€œWe had an uphill battle to
get that to pass,â€ he said.
Yet, like the other speakers,
DiDomenico said there is more
work to do, adding that 82 percent
of LGBTQ students do not
feel comfortable at school. â€œThe
jokes by their peers and by
adults are prevalent,â€ he said.
Therefore, on March 29, DiDomenico
and State Senator James
Eldridge filed S.1178, An act relative
to nondiscrimination. â€œWe
have failed our young people
if we donâ€™t do something now,â€
Everett LGBTQ+ Youth Space
and Resource Center Codirector
Kayla Mangan
said DiDomenico.
State Representative Joseph
McGonagle spoke about the
meaning of the Pride Flag. â€œThis
flag stands as a sign that no matter
who you are and who you
love, you are always welcome in
the city of Everett,â€ he said.

Statewide efforts begin to enforce fireworks regulations
S
tate Fire Marshal Peter
Ostroskey and State Police
Colonel Christopher Mason
recently announced that
fireworks enforcement efforts
have started. The State
Police Bomb Squad is part of
the Fire and Explosion Investigation
Unit (F&EIU) assigned
to the Office of the State Fire
Marshal, which has already
started working with local
police and fire departments
to enforce the fireworks laws
and intercept fireworks being
brought into the state illegally.
â€œIt
is illegal to bring fireworks
into Massachusetts, even if
they were legally purchased
elsewhere,â€ said Ostroskey.
In communities throughout
the Commonwealth, there
has been a significant rise in
resident complaints regarding
fireworks. The State Police
Bomb Squad had a 63
percent increase in response
to fireworks calls in 2020 over
2019. During the F&EIU 2020
fireworks enforcement operation,
there were 47 criminal
summonses issued over a fourday
period.
This yearâ€™s enforcement operation
has already started and
will last longer. â€œIn addition to
special enforcement efforts
to intercept fireworks coming
into Massachusetts, troopers
and local police will seize illegal
fireworks they find during
routine traffic stops,â€ said Mason.
â€œWe donâ€™t want a repeat
of the huge increase in resident
complaints we experienced
last year.â€
â€œThere will be supervised
displays of fireworks this year
unlike last year, so we encourage
you to leave the fireworks
to the professionals,â€ said Ostroskey.
â€œFireworks are illegal
because they are dangerous.
Fires started by fireworks in
Massachusetts increased 180
percent in 2020 from 2019.â€
In the past decade, there
have been 941 major fire and
explosion incidents involving
illegal fireworks reported to
the Massachusetts Fire Incident
Reporting System. The incidents
caused 12 civilian injuries,
42 fire service injuries and
an estimated monetary loss of
$2.1 million, which is high considering
that most fireworks

Malden High baseball tops Everett, 7-4, for first GBL win
Everettâ€™s Gibbs brothers teamed-up in stolen bases
By Jason Mazzilli
T
here were two game balls
to be bestowed on a pair
of players following Malden
High baseball's 7-4 win over
visiting Everett at Kezer Field
in Malden Tuesday.
That was due to a superb,
"tag team" pitching performance
by Golden Tornado junior
right-hander Shai Cohen
and sophomore righty Brandon
McMahon.
Cohen hurled the first four
innings and scattered four
hits. A few walks and some
great base running by the Everett
Gibbs brothers (Brandon,
2-for-4, 5 stolen bases and Brian,
1-for-3, 4 stolen bases) led
to some Everett scoring after
Malden had taken a 3-0 lead
after two innings.
Cohen pitched tough and
escaped a pair of situations
in the first four innings where
Everett could have potentially
tacked on more runs.
"Shai (Cohen) has done an
excellent job in both of his two
starts," said Malden High 5thyear
head coach Steve Freker.
"Today we backed him up with
some scoring and all-around
excellent defense."
McMahon came on in relief
to start the top of the fifth inning
and was simply dominating.
The big 6-2, 200 righty
tossed all zeroes over three
complete innings, allowing
just one hit, walked two and
struck out seven.
"What a job Brandon did,
but it's really no surprise, because
he's been doing it all
year," Coach Freker said. "His
earned run average is 1.25 and
he has allowed only five hits
in 12 innings of relief so far.
He's really given us a chance
to win in all of the games he's
appeared on the mound."
With the win, Malden improved
to 2-4 overall, 1-2 in
the Greater Boston League
(GBL). Everett is still seeking
its first win.
A big reason for the victory
on Wednesday was the standout
defense Malden played.
It has been a rough patch until
then for the Tornados, who
have gotten very good pitching
each time out, but a poor
defensive showing nearly every
game, with too many errors.
On
Wednesday, there was
only one defensive error and
plenty of great defensive
plays.
Malden fans got a glimpse
of what to expect in the very
first inning when senior captain
Mike Mathes made a
spectacular catch in centerfield,
on a full run and dive,
going to his right.
"Mike (Mathes) saved two
runs right there," Coach Freker
said. "That was one of the best
outfield catches ever made
by anyone I've ever coached,"
added Coach Freker, who has
coached over 600 high school
games in all.
Malden's middle infield of
senior captain and shortstop
Liam Jordan and junior second
baseman Shawn Bartholomew
also played strong
all game, making every play
on a succession of hard-hit
balls by Everett batters. Senior
captain Clifton Noelsaint
made one of the plays of the
game when he nailed an Everett
runner at the plate with
s perfect throw from left field

to junior catcher Aidan Jordan,
who applied the tag and
stamped out a Crimson Tide
rally,
"That was a huge play. They
(Everett) had just taken the
lead (4-3) for the first time
and that run would have given
them a bigger lead," Coach
Freker said.
Malden came right back
with a big rally in the bottom
of the fourth inning, scoring
three times with two out to
re-take the lead at 6-4. After
junior Luke Zubryzicki and
Mathes drew key walks to start
the inning, junior Sam Ortega
(2-for-3) laid down a perfect
sacrifice bunt to move up the
runners.
Junior Solarzano mashed an
RBI single into centerfield to
score both runners, and Liam
Jordan then hit a bomb triple
way over everything to onehop
the fence in deep left field
to Malden ahead, 6-4.
Malden added an insurance
run in the sixth inning when
Mathes walked, stole second
and then stole third, scoring
when the throw down went
into left field making it 7-4
Malden.
McMahon took the reins and
steered Malden to the win,
striking out four of the last five
batters he faced.
Malden dropped a 5-2 nonleague
game on the road to
Greater Lawrence on Tuesday

â€¢ Refuel a cooled lawn mower;
never refill while it is hot.
â€¢ Keep hands and feet away
from a mower while it is running.
On May 20, 2020, the Charlton
Fire Department was called to a
riding lawn mower fire. The owner
stated that he had just given it
a tune-up and was mowing the
lawn when he saw flames coming
out from under the hood.
On May 21, 2020, the Halifax
Fire Department was dispatched
to a garden tractor fire in the
yard of a single-family home.
Gasoline in the engine ignited,
consuming the tractor. Damage
was estimated at $500.
On May 30, 2020, at 7:35 p.m.,
the Leominster Fire Department
responded to a lawn mower fire
in a back yard. The lawn mower
backfired as it was being shut
down and caught fire.
On July 24, 2020, at 12:51
p.m., the Northbridge Fire Department
responded to a garden
tractor fire in a backyard.
The gas tank had recently been
filled, and the fire started shortly
after starting.
Gasoline and outdoor
fires
â€œNever use gasoline to start a
campfire or add it to any indoor
or outdoor fire,â€ said Ostroskey.
â€œWe have had so many injuries
this year from people mishandling
gasoline and other flammable
liquids.â€
In the past five years, Massachusetts
hospitals have reported
treating 137 people with serious
burn injuries from gasoline.
On July 24, 2020, a 43-year old
Lanesborough woman suffered
severe burns on more than 70
percent of her body when she
poured gasoline on a campfire.
On July 19, 2020, a 39-year
old Lawrence woman received
burns to multiple parts of her
body when someone poured
gasoline onto a barbeque.
Smoking safety
Smoking was the leading
cause of fire deaths in Massachusetts
last year, and there have
been many fires this spring from
improperly discarded smoking
materials on porches and
in backyards. These fires can
smolder undetected for a long
time, and when they erupt into
flames, travel fast. If they start
on the exterior of the building,
these fires can get a strong
hold before the interior smoke
alarms start to warn anyone of
the danger.
â€œIf you allow smoking on your
property, provide appropriate
receptacles for discarding smoking
materials: a deep ashtray, a
can with sand or water. Donâ€™t
let people toss smoking materials
into the mulch, leaves, grass,
potted plants or other containers
that can catch fire. Donâ€™t
let them stub them out on the
porch railing or stairs,â€ said Ostroskey.
â€œBe a responsible smoker.
Remember to put it out, all
the way, every time.â€
On February 1, 2021, at 12:30
a.m., the Milford Fire Department
responded to a fire at a
single-family home. The fire was
started by a cigarette on a rear
porch. Two people were injured
at this fire. Smoke alarms alerted
the occupants. The home did
not have sprinklers and damage
was estimated at $270,000.
On March 18, 2021, the Carlisle
Fire Department was called
to a smoking fire in a single-family
home. A cigarette ignited a
porch rug. Smoke alarms alerted
the occupants, and no one
was injured. There were no fire
sprinklers, and damages were
estimated to be $110,000.
On April 22, 2021, the Berkley
Fire Department responded to

he driver of a Honda Pilot
was killed after hitting a
house on Broadway shortly after
midnight on May 31.
According to the Middlesex
District Attorneyâ€™s Office and
Everett Police, the female driver,
whose name has not been
released, was traveling north
from Glendale Square when
her vehicle began to veer
across the double yellow line.
From there, the vehicle went
up onto the sidewalk and hit a
parked vehicle and a tree before
finally slamming into the
front porch of the two-family
home at 862 Broadway. No one
in the home was injured in the
crash; however, the driver died
at the scene.
The passenger, an adult male
whose name is also being withheld,
was rushed to Massachusetts
General Hospital and is
listed in stable condition.
No additional information

UACC also illegally required
some consumers who had to

when they could not afford
their payments to sign a
Voluntary Surrender Agreement

who failed to pay their deficiency

Under the terms of the settlement,
UACC will release and
forgive all unsatisfied debt and
waive all uncollected deficiency

on the rear deck of the home
started the fire. No one was injured
at this fire. Damage was
estimated at $50,000.
On March 16, 2021, at 4:48
p.m., the Templeton Fire Department
was called to a smoking
fire in a single-family home.
The fire was started by discarded
cigarettes igniting construction
debris around the rear porch.
No one was injured at this fire.
Alarms were present and alerted
the occupants. The home
did not have sprinklers. Damage
was estimated at $20,000.
On April 19, 2020, a fire in two
apartment buildings in New
Bedford killed two men ages 40
and 49. It also displaced 40 other
residents of two buildings. The
fire was started in an alleyway
by smoking materials that were
dropped from an upper floor,
landing in and igniting trash and
debris near a dumpster.
Fireworks fires increased
nearly 200 percent
last year
â€œThe possession and use of all
fireworks by private citizens is illegal
in Massachusetts,â€ said Ostroskey.
This includes sparklers,
party poppers, snappers, firecrackers
and cherry bombs.
â€œLeave fireworks to the professionals,
and enjoy supervised
displays,â€ he said. â€œIt is illegal to
purchase fireworks in another
state and transport them into or
possess them in Massachusetts,â€
he added.
Last year fires from fireworks
increased by 180 percent from
2019.
At 3 a.m. on May 27, 2020, the
exterior stairs of a two-family
home in New Bedford were ignited
by illegal fireworks. Damage
from this fire was estimated
at $3,000.
Around 11 p.m. on June 14,
2020, the Worcester Fire Department
responded to a fire in a triple-decker
started by illegal fireworks.
People were shooting off
fireworks in the neighborhood,
and one landed on and ignited
the roof. Eleven people were displaced
from their home. Smoke
alarms failed to operate, and
damages were estimated to be
$145,739.
On June 16, 2020, fireworks
started a fire on the first floor
porch of a two-family home
in Springfield. Damages from
this fire were estimated to be
$10,000.
On August 10, 2020, the Orange
Fire Department and several
surrounding communities
responded to a brush fire
on Tully Mountain in Orange. It
took several days to put it out
in the rugged terrain amid hot
and humid weather. Remnants
of fireworks and a campfire were
found at the seat of the fire.

THE
HOUSE AND SENATE:
Beacon Hill Roll Call records local
senatorsâ€™ votes on roll calls
from the week of May 24-28. All
Senate roll calls are on proposed
amendments to the $47.72 billion
fiscal 2022 budget. There
were no roll calls in the House
last week.
This was the Senateâ€™s second
state budget in the COVID-19
era and most senators participated
virtually from their homes
or offices.
Of the 923 amendments filed
by senators only 15 came to a
roll call vote. Many others were
simply approved or rejected one
at a time on voice votes without
debate.
To move things along even
faster, the Senate also did its
usual â€œbundlingâ€ of many amendments.
Instead of acting on all the
amendments one at a time, hundreds
of the proposed amendments
are bundled and put into
two pilesâ€”one pile that will be
approved and the other that will
be rejected-with a single vote on
each pile.
Senate President Karen Spilka,
or the senator who is filling in for
her at the podium, orchestrates
the approval and rejection of the
bundled amendments with a simple:
â€œAll those in favor say â€˜aye,â€™
those opposed say â€˜no.â€™ The ayes
have it and the amendments are
approved.â€ Or â€œAll those in favor
say â€˜aye,â€™ those opposed say â€˜no.â€™
The noâ€™s have it and the amendments
are rejected.â€
Senators donâ€™t actually vote
yes or no, and, in fact, they don't
say a word. The outcome was
predetermined earlier behind
closed doors.
"The efficient Senate budget
process this year reflected
lots of careful work by our Ways
and Means Chair, Michael Rodriques,
and our Senate President,
Karen Spilka, to build consensus
in the weeks before the
budget," said Senate President
Pro Tempore Sen. Will Brownsberger
(D-Belmont).
Despite repeated requests
from Beacon Hill Roll Call, Senate
President Karen Spilka's
office did not respond to a request
to comment on the bundled
amendments and the small
number of roll calls. And no
response was received from
Spilka's leadership team of Sens.
Cindy Creem (D-Newton), Joan
Lovely (D-Salem), Mike Barrett
(D-Lexington) and Sal DiDomenico
(D-Everett).
"Roll call requests are based
on a number of factors that
are the subject of both continuing
and contemporaneous
discussions within the caucus
based on specific issues," said
GOP Minority Leader Bruce Tarr
(R-North Reading).
â€œ[The process] more accurately
highlights the increasingly efficient
use of the legislative rubber
stamp,â€ said Chip Ford, executive
director of Citizens for Limited
Taxation. â€œMassachusetts
doesn't need the cost of 200 legislators
when a handful decide all
legislation before it comes for a
vote. If the three token 'loyal opposition'
Republican senators
werenâ€™t taking up space taxpayers
could at least save the â€˜leadership
stipendsâ€™ they collect.â€
â€œThis type of process was not
the norm only several years
ago," said Massachusetts Fiscal
Alliance executive director
Paul Craney. "Over the last few
years, with new legislative leadership,
they rush through votes,
often donâ€™t record the votes and
donâ€™t allow the public to gain access
to what is happening because
most of the important work
is done behind closed doors.
With that being said, the state
Senate is much more transparent
than Speaker Ron Mariano
and Republican Brad Jones in
the House. The House is arguably
the most opaque legislature
in America.â€
$47.72 BILLION FISCAL 2022
BUDGET (S 3)
Senate 40-0, approved a
$47.72 million fiscal 2022 state
budget for the fiscal year that begins
July 1, 2021.
Senators added on an additional
$63.7 million in spending
during three days of debate on
the Senate floor. The House recently
approved its own version
of the budget. A House-Senate
conference committee will hammer
out a compromise version.
â€œThis is an extraordinarily
hopeful budget, designed to get
us â€˜back to better,â€™â€ said Senate
President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland).
â€œThe Massachusetts Senate
vowed to act on what we
learned from the COVID-19 public
health crisis and invest in areas
that lift up our children, families
and seniors across all communities
â€” and that is exactly
what this budget does.â€
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
Chair of the Senate Committee
on Ways and Means said, â€œThe
Senate has charted a hopeful
path forward this week and
passed a fiscally responsible fiscal
Year 2022 budget that makes
investments to expand educational
opportunity, safeguard the
health and wellness of our most
vulnerable, support our children
and families and meet the needs
of our post-pandemic economy.
â€œThe budget that we passed
today focuses on the future and
ensures that every resident, business,
and family can find success
in a post-pandemic Massachusetts,â€
said Sen. Patrick
Oâ€™Connor (R-Weymouth), Ranking
Minority Member of the Senate
Committee on Ways and

designed to recover from
the effects of COVID-19. Now
is the time for us to rebuild and
make the commonwealth an
even better place to call home.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the budget).
Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes
TAX DEDUCTION FOR REMOTE
LEARNING SUPPLIES (S 3)
Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment
that would provide up to a
$500 tax deduction for any K-12
teachersâ€™ expenses they paid for
the costs of remote teaching their
students. Eligible expenses include
professional development courses
taken related to the curriculum,
books, supplies, computer equipment
and for personal protective
equipment, disinfectant and other
supplies used for the prevention of
the spread of COVID-19.
Amendment supporters said it
is unfair that teachers have to personally
pay from their own pockets
to cover for these costs. He noted
that a recent survey showed that
teachers spent an average of $745
was spent of their own money on
learning materials.
Amendment opponents said
they support reimbursing these
teachers but argued a tax deduction
is not the best way to do it.
They noted the state should use
some of the billions of dollars in
federal funds it receives under the
Elementary and Secondary School
Emergency Relief Fund and directly
reimburse the teachers.
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the amendment
allowing a $500 deduction.
A â€œNoâ€ vote is against it.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico No
ALLOW FARMERS A TAX DEDUCTION
FOR DONATING FOOD
(S 3)
Senate 6-33, rejected an amendment
that would give a taxpayer
who is in the trade or business
of farming and makes a charitable
contribution of food to a nonprofit
food organization a deduction on
their income tax return for up to
25 percent of the value of the food.
The amendment also regulates the
contributions and sets standards
that the food quality must meet.
Amendment supporters said the
deduction will help these generous
farmers and the charities. They
noted that the federal government
and several states already allow this
deduction.
Amendment opponents said
the state cannot afford the revenue
loss in a budget that is tight
and still relies on money from the
Rainy Day Fund. They noted the
budget delays the implementation
of the overall charitable deduction
that was discontinued in
2001 and argued it is not time to
pick and choose a specific group of
taxpayers who will receive a charitable
deduction.
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the amendment
allowing the charitable deduction
for farmers. A â€œNoâ€ vote is
against it.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico No
ADDITIONAL $3 MILLION FOR
LOCAL BOARDS OF HEALTH (S 3)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment increasing funding for
local boards of health by $3 million
(from $10 million to $13 million).
Amendment supporters said
that these grants will improve public
health protections across the
state by strengthening local capacity
and supporting sharing of
services among cities and towns.
â€œThe pandemic made clear what
has long been true: Protecting
our health requires strengthening
investments at the local level,â€
said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford
(D-Northampton). â€œIn our commonwealth,
every municipality
has their own board of health or
health department. These funds
will decrease inequities between
communities and promote better
health for everyone.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the $3 million
increase in funding).
Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes
ADDITIONAL $508,419 FOR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION
AND SURVIVOR SERVICES
(S 3)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment increasing funding
for Domestic Violence and Sexual
Assault Prevention and Survivor
Services by $508,419 (from
$50,874,714 to $50,366,295).
â€œWhat many people don't realize
is that a consequence of the
pandemic has been a significant
increase in instances of domestic
abuse,â€ said sponsor Sen. Mike
Moore (D-Millbury). â€œAs a result,
there has been an increase in individuals
seeking services provided
by the Executive Office of Health
and Human Services. It is critical
that we provide more funding for
these services so that access to care
remains available for survivors of
domestic abuse and sexual assault
in the commonwealth."
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the $508,419
increase in funding).
Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes
$500,000 TO IMPROVE MATERNAL
AND NEWBORN HEALTH
OUTCOMES (S 3)
Senate 38-1, approved an
amendment that would provide
$500,000 for the Perinatal-Neonatal
Quality Improvement Network
(PNQIN) of Massachusetts that
works with hospitals and maternal
health organizations to eliminate
disparities in maternal morbidity
and mortality.
â€œI filed [the] amendment â€¦ to
provide funding to PNQIN because
I believe that it is every personâ€™s
right to build a happy and healthy
family in the commonwealth of
Massachusetts,â€ said amendment
sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler
(D-Worcester). â€œAn essential element
of PNQINâ€™s mission is to fight
and eliminate long standing racial
disparities in maternal mortality
and to improve health outcomes
of all pregnant people and
their children. PNQIN is at the forefront
of maternal health equity, and
their work will unequivocally bring
us closer to a commonwealth full
of happy and healthy parents and
children.â€
â€œI have a strong belief that the
practice of earmarking funds for
private organizations within the
budget leads to more harm than
good in our political system,â€ said
Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz, the only
senator to vote against the amendment.
â€œAlthough the PNQIN does
important work, and I appreciate
Sen. Chandler's championing of
this worthy cause, I believe government
works better when the Legislature
sticks to its role of setting categories
of funding priorities, and I
respect the executive branch agenciesâ€™
responsibility to make comparisons
among projects and service
providers to choose the organizations
that best carry out those
priorities. As such, I have a policy
of voting against earmarks when it
comes to setting budget priorities.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the $500,000.
A â€œNoâ€ vote is against it.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes
ADDITIONAL $500,000 FOR
SECURITY FOR SCHOOLS AND
HOUSES OF WORSHIP (S 9)
Senate 39-0, approved an
amendment increasing funding by
$500,000 (from $1 million to $1.5
million) for security and enhancements
for at-risk houses of worship,
schools, community centers
and other nonprofit institutions.
This includes the installation of security
cameras, enhanced lighting,
ballistic doors and bulletproof windows,
rapid response alarms, perimeter
fencing, motion detectors
and vehicle blockades.
â€œWe are in the middle of a pandemic
of hate and violence, and
itâ€™s growing at alarming rates,â€ said
sponsor Sen. Eric Lesser (D-Longmeadow).
This year alone, there
was the attempted bombing at
Ruthâ€™s House, a Jewish-affiliated
assisted living facility in Longmeadow,
and in the months that
followed, a rapid rise in Anti-Asian
hate crimes. We have an obligation
as a commonwealth to make sure
that we have the resources to put
these basic precautions in place
for these community groups and
organizations.â€
(A â€œYesâ€ vote is for the $500,000).
Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEKâ€™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 Legislatureâ€™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 May 24-28,
the House met for a total of eight
minutes while the Senate met for
a total of 23 hours and 40 minutes.
Mon. May 24 House 11:01 a.m.
to 11:03 a.m.
Senate 11:11 a.m. to 11:13 a.m.
Tues. May 25 No House session.

How to Downsize Your
Home for a Move
Sa e
a
t D
BY JIM MILLER
Dear Willa,
The process of weeding
through a house full of stuff
and parting with old possessions
is difficult and overwhelming
for most people. A
good place to start is to see
if your kids, grandkids or other
family members would like
any of your unused possessions.
Whatever they donâ€™t
want, here are a few tips and
services that may help you
downsize.
Sell It
Selling your stuff is one way
to get rid of your possessions
and pad your pocketbook at
the same time. Selling options
may include consignment
shops, a garage sale,
estate sale and selling online.
Consignment shops are
good for selling old clothing,
household furnishings
and decorative items â€“ they
typically get 30 to 40 percent
of the sale price. A good
old-fashion garage sale is
another option, or for largescale
downsizing you could
hire an estate sale company
to come in and sell your items.
See EstateSales.net and EstateSales.org
to locate options
in your area. Some estate
companies will even pick
up your stuff and sell it at their
own location â€“ they typically
take about 35 percent of the
profi ts.
Selling online is also a great
option and opens you up to a
wider audience. The OfferUp
app (OfferUp.com), Facebook
Marketplace (Facebook.
com/marketplace), Craigslist
(Craigslist.org) and the
CPlus for Craigslist app (Yanfl
ex.com) are great options for
selling locally, which can eliminate
the packing and shipping
costs and hassle. These
websites and apps also donâ€™t
take a cut of your sales, but
youâ€™re responsible for connecting
with your buyer and
making the exchange of money
and goods.
Donate It
If you itemize on your tax returns,
donating your belongings
to charitable organizations
is another way to downsize
and get a tax deduction.
The Salvation Army (SAtruck.
org, 800-728-7825) will actually
come to your house and
pick up a variety of household
items, including furnishings

Dear Savvy Senior,
What tips can you off er for downsizing? My husband and I would
like to relocate from our house into a retirement community condo
near our daughter but need to get rid of a lot of personal possessions
before we can move.
Overwhelmed Willa
and clothing. Goodwill (Goodwill.org)
is another good option
to donate to but they donâ€™t
offer pickup services.
If your deductions exceed
$500, youâ€™ll need to fi le Form
8283, â€œNoncash Charitable
Contributionsâ€ (IRS.gov/pub/
irs-pdf/f8283.pdf). Youâ€™ll also
need a receipt from the organization
for every batch
of items you donate and will
need to create an itemized
list of the items donated. To
calculate fair market value
for your stuff, use the Salvation
Armyâ€™s donation guide
at SAtruck.org/home/donationvalueguide.
Toss
It
If you have a lot of junk you
want to get rid of, contact your
municipal trash service to see
if they provide bulk curbside
pickup services. Or, depending
on where you live, you
could hire a company like
1-800-Got-Junk (1800gotjunk.com,
800-468-5865) or
Junk-King (Junk-King.com,
888-888-5865) to come in and
haul it off for a moderate fee.
Another disposal option is
Bagster (TheBagster.com,
877-789-2247) by Waste
Management. This is a dumpster
bag that you purchase for
around $30, fi ll it to a limit of
3,300 pounds and schedule a
pickup, which costs anywhere
between $100 and $300 depending
on your area.
Get Help
If you want or need some
help, consider hiring a senior
move manager. These are
professional organizers who
help older adults and their
families with the daunting process
of downsizing and moving
to a new residence. To locate
one in your area, visit the
National Association of Senior
Move Managers at NASMM.
org or call 877-606-2766.
You can also search at Caring
Transitions (CaringTransitions.com),
which is a large
senior relocation and transition
services franchise company
that has more than 200
franchises nationwide.
Send your senior questions
to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
