These accomplishments were all achieved while reducing Everett’s residential tax rate to the lowest among all surrounding cities. John was passionate about his hometown, and was proud to have served six terms as its Mayor, paving the path for years of future prosperity. As Mayor of Everett, John developed longstanding relationships with Mayor Tom Menino of Boston, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, U.S. Senator John Kerry, Speaker George Keverian, U.S. Congressman Ed Markey, Governor Michael Dukakis, and Speaker Tip O’Neil, and had the opportunity to meet President and Mrs. Clinton to discuss the impact The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation is currently in the process of completing a $2 million renovation of the Allied Veterans Memorial Pool on Elm Street.

He was elected President of the Massachusetts Mayors’ Association in 1992, and the Massachusetts Municipal Board of Directors from 1986-1992.

John was elected to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Advisory Board from 1993-1997, and served on several subcommittees, including Health Reform, Health Care Financing, Health Insurance and the Subcommittee on Aging. John had a deep connection to the residents of Everett and the Italian and Irish heritage that many residents shared. He established a sister city relationship with Orsogna, Italy, and led a delegation that traveled to Italy to formally recognize the relationship, and later hosted a group from Orsogna when they visited Everett.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 5 Legal representation for School Committee remains uncertain entering collective bargaining By Christopher Roberson T he School Committee recently voted to return to its Legal Subcommittee for further discussion regarding legal representation for the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations. During the committee’s Feb. 19 meeting, Ward 3 Member Frank Parker made a motion to have the committee represented by Braintree law fi rm Murphy, Lamere & Murphy. “They are proven, we know who they are,” said Parker, adding that the fi rm is comprised of nine attorneys. He also reminded his colleagues that the committee’s decisions have a direct impact on the district’s 7,200 students and 800 employees. Therefore, having excellent legal representation is imperative. “Let’s sign these contracts,” said Parker. However, Member-at-Large Berardino D’Onofrio did not agree, saying the committee already has adequate representation from Attorney Robert Galvin. “This is what Bob Galvin was hired for,” he said. Parker’s motion was subsequently defeated by a 2-7 roll call vote. Upcoming events In other news, Galvin will be conducting an Opening Meeting Law Training Workshop for the committee on March 11 at the School Administration Building. Everett Kiwanis Club News The committee also approved a request from Everett High School Principal Alexander Naumann to host a Drama Club Showcase on Feb. 28 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the George Keverian School. A request from John Obremski, principal of the Lafayette School, was approved for a seventh and eighth grade dance, which will be held on Feb. 27 from 5-7 p.m. Lastly, the committee approved a request from Stephen Supino, executive director of Health & Human Services, to use the high school gymnasium on March 16 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s Annual 3 on 3 Tournament.

Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Join Together To Protect Your Heart and Celebrate #OurHearts During American Heart Month D id you know that people who have close relationships at home, work, or in their community tend to be healthier and live longer? One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is that we’re more successful meeting our health goals when we join forces with others. To underscore this point and mark American Heart Month this February, NHLBI is launching the #OurHearts movement, to inspire people to protect and strengthen their hearts with the support of others. Here are some facts, how-to tips, and resources to inspire you to join with others to improve your heart health. Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. Most middle aged people (90 to 95 percent) and young adults (75 to 80 percent) have one or more risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high blood cholesterol, or being a smoker or overweight. Having more than one risk factor increases your risk for heart disease much more than having just one. Join us for a public meeting to discuss the redesign of two of Everett’s parks! Hale School Park (Glendale Street Park) Central Avenue Playground (Woodland Street Playground) March 4, 2019 6:30 pm Everett City Hall, Room 35 484 Broadway Join Everett’s Planning and Development Department and Bohler Engineering at a public meeting to review and provide comment on the new designs for the Central Avenue Playground and Glendale Street Park. For more information please call Planning and Development at (617) 394-5004 Why Reaching Out Is Good Having positive, close relationships and feeling connected with others benefi ts our overall health, including our blood pressure and weight. Having people in our lives who will motivate and care for us helps, but having feelings of closeness and companionship helps our health too. Making the following heart healthy lifestyle changes will be easier and more successful if you work with other motivated people: • Get physically active. • Achieve a healthy weight and maintain it. • Eat heart healthy foods. • Quit smoking. Remember, you don’t have to make big changes all at once. Small steps will get you where you want to go. Here are some tips to get you going. Move More Invite family, friends, colleagues, or members of your community to join you in your efforts to be more physically active: • Ask a colleague to walk with you on a regular basis, put the date on both your calendars, and text or call to make sure you both show up. • Join an exercise class at your local community center and bring a neighbor along. Carpool to make it a regular date. • Grab your kids, put on some music, and do jumping jacks, skip rope, or just dance. • Make your social time active and encourage everyone—family and friends alike— to think of fun things that get you off the couch and moving. If you have a health condition, including heart disease or high blood pressure, talk with your doctor before increasing your activity. How much is enough? Aim for at least 2½ hours of physical activity each week—that’s just 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. In #OURHEARTS | SEE PAGE 15

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 9 Tide boys gets ready for the postseason after humbling loss to Central Catholic By Joe Mitchell T he Division 1 North state tournament seedings will be announced later today (Friday, Feb. 22), and coach Stanley Chamblain’s team will be waiting around to see if they begin the postseason at home next week. Finishing up the regular season at 14-6 overall would almost guarantee a home game, but in Division 1 there are at least six other clubs with pretty much the same record. It will all boil down to coin fl ips and head-to-head records to determine the tournament fates for teams like Everett. But if you had told coach Chamblain his young team would have only six regular season losses in early December, he’d have signed up for it in a heartbeat. Five of those six losses have occurred against ranked team, and two of them were in the past week against Tech Boston last Saturday, 66-55, and Central Catholic at home Wednesday night, 65-45. The Tide did beat Salem on Monday, 68-51. “We have made a lot of inexperienced plays against those (ranked) teams, but over time we will have a better understanding of the game to make better decisions,” said Chamblain. Senior captain Eric Thompson’s performance against Salem just might be a harbinger of good things to come in the immediate future that could mean an upset or two in March. Thompson, who has been battling nagging leg injuries all year long, scored a career-high 27 points to lead his teammates past the Witches. “[Thompson] has been trying to get back into a groove the last couple of weeks, and he’s showing right now that he’s becoming a threat, which we need going into the state tournament,” said Chamblain. Freshman Omar Monexant was Everett’s second leading scorer against Salem with 12 points. Sophomore Omar Quilter was close behind with 11. In the team’s last regular season home game, the Tide actually played well during the fi rst half, trailing Central Catholic 26-15 at halftime. “We missed a lot of layups and free throws, and just didn’t make baskets that we usually make,” said Chamblain. “Central Catholic knocked us out of the state tournament two years ago with most of the same players, and in the second half of this game they showed why they are the No. 2 team in the state.” A 20-point loss in front of the home fans was admittedly defl ating for this young group, but Chamblain told them to keep their heads held high, because this was only a regular season game, which gives Councillor DiPierro receives diploma from Suffolk University W ard 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro recently completed the undergraduate studies program at Suff olk University’s College of Arts & Sciences.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 13 February is American Heart Month “Make a resolution for a healthier life” Join Together To Protect Your Heart and Celebrate #OurHearts During American Heart Month Sal DiDomenico State Senator Did you know that people who have close relationships at home, work, or in their community tend to be healthier and live longer? One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is that we’re more successful meeting our health goals when we join forces with others. To underscore this point and mark American Heart Month this February, NHLBI is launching the #OurHearts movement, to inspire people to protect and strengthen their hearts with the support of others. Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. Most middle aged people (90 to 95 percent) and young adults (75 to 80 percent) have one or more risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high blood cholesterol, or being a smoker or overweight. Having more than one risk factor increases your risk for heart disease much more than having just one. Move More How much is enough? Aim for at least 2½ hours of physical activity each week—that’s just 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. In addition, do muscle strengthening exercises 2 days a week. Can’t carve out a lot of time in your day? Don’t chuck your goal, chunk it! Try 10 or 15 minutes a few times a day.

Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Three Chelsea Jewish Lifecare residences awarded CMS Five-Star Quality Rating Highest possible rating for all three greater Boston nursing homes CHELSEA AND PEABODY – For the second consecutive year, three Chelsea Jewish Lifecare (CJL) skilled nursing facilities have received the prestigious Five-Star Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This designation refl ects the highest number of stars allotted to a skilled nursing facility. Currently, there are a select number of nursing homes that have been awarded this distinction. “We are pleased that all our skilled nursing residences have once again been recognized as being among the top nursing homes not only in Massachusetts, but throughout the country,” states Chelsea Jewish Lifecare President Adam Berman. “Earning this Five-Star designation is a testament to our skilled and compassionate staff , our strong commitment to excellence and our dedication as an organization to provide the highest caliber of care possible.” The CJL homes include the Chelsea Jewish Nursing Home in Chelsea, the Jeff rey and Susan Brudnick Center for Living in Peabody, and the Leonard Florence Center for Living in Chelsea, which is the country’s fi rst urban model Green House® skilled nursing facility. These residences off er both short-term rehabilitation services and long-term comprehensive care. To receive a fi ve-star rating, nursing homes are judged by three components. Health inspections are one means of evaluating a residence. The rating is based on information from the last three years of onsite inspections, including both standard surveys and complaint surveys. Secondly, a rating is given based on staff - ing, which details information about the number of hours of care provided on average to each resident each day by nursing staff and other healthcare providers. The final category involves quality measures, which includes data on how well nursing homes are caring for their residents’ physical and clinical needs. Today the fi ve-star rating system has become a critical tool for the public to measure the quality and performance of a skilled nursing facility. Nursing homes with fi ve stars are considered well above average quality. Adds CJL’s Berman, “In reality, we work very hard, day in and day out, to achieve and maintain these five-star ratings. We are so proud of our staff at each of the three residences.” About Chelsea Jewish Lifecare CJL, a highly respected leader in senior living, employs over 2,000 people and provides care to over 100 individuals daily, with campuses in Chelsea, Peabody and Longmeadow, Mass. CJL (www. chelseajewish.org) is redefi ning senior care and reenvisioning what life should be like for those living with disabling conditions. The eldercare community includes a wide array of skilled and shortterm rehab residences, ALSand MS-specialized care residences, traditional and specialized assisted living options, memory care, independent living, adult day health, aging life care, home care and hospice agencies that deliver customized and compassionate care.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 ~ Guest Commentary ~ Page 15 NFL Retirees: A Bright Spot in a Sad Picture H By Dr. James Th rasher ow many times have you been asked: What do you do for a living? Your answer to that question divulges a great deal about you. Self-concept, selfworth and outlook are revealed by the impression you hope to communicate or strategy behind your response. We all quickly forecast how our answers will be perceived by others. This is especially true for individuals who are retiring or “calling it quits” in the National Football League (NFL). They have a decision to make in answering such a question: live in the past or boldly and positively look to and plan for the future. Many retiring NFL players are apparently having a very diffi cult time post-football. These athletes are moving from the bright spotlight to trying to illuminate what they see as a dimly lit life. Why? Many retired players are answering this question by defining themselves in the past. Because the very essence of their identities is caught up in their professional careers, statistics, and achievements, they are unable to productively move into the next chapter of their lives. The future for these individuals is held hostage by this outlook. The Sports Illustrated article “Broken Men and the NFL’s Broken System: Why Life After the Game Is So Diffi cult” outlines how lost these players are as they try to redefi ne who they have been for as long as they can remember – football players. This article and others like it describe their loss of identity and purpose, which has resulted in rampant divorce, drug and alcohol abuse, family dysfunction, and fi nancial problems and bankruptcy for many #OURHEARTS | FROM PAGE 6 addition, do muscle strengthening exercises 2 days a week. Can’t carve out a lot of time in your day? Don’t chuck your goal, chunk it! Try 10 or 15 minutes a few times a day. NHLBI’s Move More fact sheet provides ideas to get and keep you moving. Aim for a Healthy Weight If you’re overweight, find someone in your friend group, at work, or in your family who also wants to lose weight. (Every little bit can help!) Check in with them regularly to stay motivated or join a weight loss program together. Do healthy activities together, like walking or playing on a neighborhood sports team, and share low-calorie, low-sodium meals or recipes. (Pregnant women should NFL retirees. Julius Thomas, the All-Pro tight end most remembered for his acrobatic receptions of passes thrown by Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, is a shining example of how to transition out of the NFL. Thomas has retired from his noteworthy professional career and is determined to make sure his current identity is not defined by his career, the media, the fans, or living in accomplishments of the past. Thomas left behind the limelight and a nationally known identity to pursue his next calling. What is diff erent about him that sets him apart from his NFL counterparts who have gone before him? Julius has displayed three crucial elements in discerning the direction of this major life change: a driving motivation to serve others, a commitment to candid and thoughtful personal self-assessment, and a faith and trust in God that provides boldness and forward thinking. All three have contributed to a humble and confi dent metamorphosis of vocational callings for Thomas. Matt Dunn, writing in “What We Learn About Identity From Julius Thomas,” states that Thomas realized that “at a deeper level there was a longing for purpose in helping others.” He plans on earning a doctorate degree in psychology to do further research on the eff ects of head injuries in contact sports, which cause brain trauma and changes in neurobehavior. He believes that he is to aid his retiring or retired NFL peers who might be aff ected by these conditions. Julius is committed to testimonials of service and moving beyond being recognized as a famous NFL receiver. Thomas not try to lose weight, but they can exercise.)

Devotion to serving is the motivating purpose in his life. This is contrasted with the cars, homes, toys, and all the accoutrements of the NFL “life.” As he refl ected on his life, he realized that these things never did bring meaning to his deepest desires. Upon his retirement, Julius wrote a reflective essay titled “Journey Into Self” in which he took time to “check in” with himself. He shared his thoughts by stating, “[I took] stock of where I was in life and what was important to me.” Thomas decided to move beyond the externals of life and look within. As he “peeled back the masks,” he accepted that his identity was not Julius the wide receiver. There were many facets of who he was that he was never vulnerable enough with himself to explore and then embrace. He studied “Socrates, Eckhart Tolle, Aquinas, Brene Brown, George Mumford, David Hawkins, Dr. King, etc.” Through sincere self-assessment, he delved into his passions, interests, fears, relationships, and hopes, and contemplated what really brings meaning to life. Thomas moved confidently forward after football due to the role self-assessment played in deciphering his direction in this new chapter of life. In “For Broncos’ Thomas, Faith Drives His Football,” Paul Klee states that Thomas had two playbooks while with the Broncos: the football playbook and his Bible. A verse important to him is 2 Timothy 1: 7, which reads “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” With the Lord’s help, Thomas believes that he can NOW (1-800-784-8669). You’ll fi nd many free resources to help you quit, such as apps, a motivational text service, and a chat line at the websites BeTobaccoFree.hhs.gov and Smokefree.gov. If you need extra motivation to quit, consider the health of your friends and family: Being around other people’s smoke, called secondhand smoke, is dangerous. Thousands of adult nonsmokers die of stroke, heart disease, and lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local legislators' votes on roll calls from January 30 and January 31. All roll calls are on proposed changes to House and Senate rules. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. ALLOW 30 MINUTES TO READ AMENDMENTS (H 2019) House 47-111, rejected a proposed new House rule giving members 30 minutes to read any amendment that is proposed on the fl oor when the House is in session. The 30 minutes would start when all legislators and the public have electronic access to a copy of the amendment and all members also have a printed copy on their desks in the House chamber. Supporters said it is reasonable to give members 30 minutes to read an amendment. They said currently an amendment can be proposed and voted upon before members have even had a chance to read it. Opponents said the rule goes too far and would unnecessarily impede the movement of bills. They noted many of the amendments are technical in nature and are not controversial. They argued that printing and putting a copy of each amendment on each of the 160 members’ desk would be bad for the environment and would make extra work for the House clerk. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No EQUITABLE OFFICE SPACE FOR EACH REP (H 2019) House 11-146 rejected a proposed new House rule that would require the Personnel and Administration Committee to establish standards for the allocation of offi ce space as equitably as possible among the representatives, committees and their staff s. The standards would be reviewed and would have to be approved by the Director of Human Resources and the Equal Employment Opportunity Offi cer prior to it taking eff ect. Amendment supporters said that the state should consider the standards used by the U.S. Congress in which a giant lottery is held and when a member’s name is drawn, he or she can choose any offi ce he or she wants. They argued this would be the fairest system and also help reduce the speaker’s power by not allowing him to reward loyalists with the best offi ces. "Each of us arrives in this building as equals to represent the voices of 40,000 constituents,” said the bill’s sponsor Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston).“We weaken that voice by enabling the speaker to use subjective processes to allocate offi ces, staff , and resources. The distribution of the people’s property and resources should be done in a manner that does not make the allocation susceptible to implicit bias and favoritism.” Amendment opponents said setting standards would be impossible because it’s subjective which offi ce has the best location and furnishings. They also noted that the random lottery would not work because chairs of committees have larger staff and would not be able to fi t them in a small offi ce. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No TELEVISE INFORMAL SESSIONS (H 2021) House 36-121, rejected a proposed new House-Senate joint rule that would require broadcasting of informal sessions of the House and Senate in the same manner and format as formal sessions are currently broadcast online. Informal sessions are ones in which there are no roll call votes and everything is approved or rejected on an unrecorded voice vote. However, at an informal session, a single legislator can hold up consideration of a bill until the next formal session by doubting the presence of a quorum. A quorum is when 81 of the 160 members are in the chamber. Currently, informal sessions are not broadcast. Supporters said that some informal sessions are not the brief, quiet sessions that they used to be. They said major legislation is sometimes approved at these sessions and the public should be able to watch these online. Opponents said it would be expensive to broadcast these informal sessions which rarely deal with controversial matters. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No ANTI-SEXUAL HARASSMENT (S 9) Senate 39-0, approved a new rule that would prohibit any senator, offi cer or staff member from violating the Senate’s anti-harassment policy and require that everyone receive anti-harassment training within 90 days of the opening of the biennial session. The rule also prohibits retaliation against an individual who has complained about discriminatory harassment or retaliation against an individual for cooperating with an investigation of a discriminatory harassment complaint. Supporters said it is vital that the Senate offer protection against sexual and identity-based assault on Beacon Hill. They argued the amendment will promote a safe and healthy workplace+ on Beacon Hill. (A “Yes” vote is for the rule.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes COSTS OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS THE HIGHEST IN BOSTON – The INRIX 2018 Global Traffi c Scorecard was released and ranked Boston as the most congested city in the U.S. The average Boston driver lost 164 hours to peak traffic in 2018, worth about $2,291 in additional costs based on federal Department of Transportation estimates. Nationally, Americans lost an average of 97 hours a year due to congestion, costing them nearly $87 billion in 2018, an average of $1,348 per driver. The runner-up was Washington D.C. (155 hours). The top ten included Chicago (138 hours), Seattle (138 hours), New York City (133 hours), Los Angeles (128 hours), Pittsburgh (127 hours), Portland (116 hours), San Francisco (116 hours) and Philadelphia (112 hours). “Congestion costs Americans billions of dollars each year,” said Trevor Reed, transportation analyst at INRIX. “It will continue to have serious consequences for national and local economies, businesses and citizens in the years to come. If we’re to avoid traffi c congestion becoming a further drain on our economy, we must invest in intelligent transportation systems to tackle our mobility challenges. "We didn't really need a report from INRIX to tell us that congestion is a growing problem in Massachusetts, particularly in Boston," said Bay State Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack. "I think our goal is to understand why. Why is congestion worse? Because then for every why, there's something we can do diff erently." HEALTHY FOOD IN VENDING MACHINES IN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS–Rep. Natalie Blais (D- Sunderland) has fi led a bill requiring all foods or beverages sold through vending machines located in government buildings be limited to items that comply with the nutritional standards established by the state’s commissioner of public health. The bill also requires items that items that meet these nutrition standards be placed in the prime selling positions in the machine and be available at prices equal to or less than the prices for similar products that are available and that do not meet the nutrition standards. The measure also requires that food and beverage items that do not meet the nutrition standards options are banned from be promoted through discounted prices, bundled meals or promotional signs. Blais did not respond to Beacon Hioll Roll Call's request for a statement on her bill. REPEAL "ESTATE/DEATH" TAX–Rep. David DeCoste has fi led a proposal that would repeal Massachusetts' estate tax, also known as the death tax — a tax on the value of the decedent's estate before distribution to any benefi ciary. Most Republicans are against the tax and coined the name death tax to imply that the government taxes you even after you die. Most Democrats support the tax and call it an estate tax to imply that this tax is only paid by the wealthy. The fi rst $1 million is exempt from this tax and the tax on anything over $1 million is a graduated one that according to the Department of Revenue's website ranges from .8 percent to 16 percent. Repeal supporters said this regressive tax is unfair and noted that Massachusetts is losing many residents, who move to Florida and other states where this tax does not exist. Repeal opponents said the tax is a fair one and argued the state cannot aff ord the revenue loss. DeCoste did not respond to Beacon Hill Roll Call's request for a statement on his bill. 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 fi led.

February 22, 2019 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF EVERETT OJJDP MAKES GRANT AWARD TO IMPROVE INVESTIGATION, PROSECUTION OF CHILD ABUSE WASHINGTON – The Offi ce of Justice Programs recently announced an award of $750,000 to the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, Inc., to improve the investigation and prosecution of child abuse. OJP’s Offi ce of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention awarded the grant to continue funding a national training and technical assistance program for attorneys and others involved in the prosecution of child abuse. The funds, provided through OJJDP’S Victims of Child Abuse Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors program, will help increase public safety through aggressive prosecution of those who abuse or exploit children. In 2018, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline received more than 18.4 million reports of apparent child sexual abuse imagery; online enticement, including “sextortion;” child sex traffi cking; and child sexual molestation. That same year, more than 1 million youth between the ages of 12 and 17 were victims of violent crime—an increase of more than 140,000 from 2016, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Moreover, an estimated 1,700 children died due to abuse and neglect in the U.S. in 2016, according to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System. “It is simply not enough to identify and arrest those suspected of child abuse, exploitation or trafficking— they must be successfully prosecuted,” said OJP’s Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Matt M. Dummermuth. “These funds will be used to train and equip prosecutors with the tools necessary to bring justice to those who have been victimized by enhancing prosecutors’ ability to convict those who harm children.” Training for prosecutors and related criminal justice professionals under this program includes improved child interview techniques, thorough investigative methods, interagency coordination and eff ective presentation of evidence in court. In addition to supporting training and technical assistance, the program funds the development and promotion of publications and related resources for prosecutors in juvenile and adult courts. “Protecting youth and increasing safety in our communities are central to OJJDP’s work,” said OJJDP Administrator Caren Harp. “Public safety depends on having investigators and prosecutors who are equipped to stop criminals who would do harm to our children.” Last year, OJJDP awarded nearly $18 million under its Victims of Child Abuse grant programs. Those grants supported children’s advocacy centers and multidisciplinary teams of professionals who respond to children’s maltreatment. Details on those awards can be found online at https://go.usa. gov/xE86S.
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Legal Notice Page 19 Legal Notice NOTICE OF ACTIVITY AND USE LIMITATION How to Slow Down Cognitive Aging Dear Savvy Senior Are there any proven strategies to preventing cognitive decline? I have a family history of dementia and worry about my own memory and cognitive abilities as I grow older. What can you tell me? Almost 60 Dear Almost, For most people, starting in their fi fties and sixties, the brain’s ability to remember names, multi-task or learn something new starts declining. While our genes (which we can’t control) play a key role in determining our cognitive aging, our general health (which we do have some control over) plays a big factor too. Here are some healthy lifestyle strategies – recommended by medical experts – that you can employ that can help stave off cognitive loss and maybe even build a stronger brain. Manage health problems: Studies have shown that cognitive problems are related to health conditions, like diabetes, heart disease and even depression. So, if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes you need to treat them with lifestyle changes and medication (if necessary) and get them under control. And if you have a history of depression, you need to talk to your doctor about treatment options. Exercise: Aerobic exercise increases blood fl ow to all parts of your body, including your brain, to keep the brain cells well nourished. So, choose an aerobic activity you enjoy like walking, cycling, dancing, swimming, etc., that elevates your heart rate and do it for at least 30 to 40 minutes three times a week. Eat healthy: A heart-healthy diet, like the Mediterranean diet, will also help protect the brain. A Mediterranean diet includes relatively little red meat and emphasizes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, fi sh and shellfi sh, and nuts, olive oil and other healthy fats. Also keep processed foods and sweets to a minimum. Get some sleep: Quality, restful sleep contributes to brain health too. Typically, adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep daily. If you have persistent problems sleeping, you need to identify and address the problem. Medications, late-night exercise and alcohol can interfere with sleep quality and length, as can arthritis pain, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. If you need help, make an appointment with a sleep specialist who will probably recommend an overnight diagnostic sleep test. Challenge your mind: Some research suggests that mind challenging activities can help improve memory, and slow age-related mental decline. But, be aware that these activities consist of things you aren’t accustomed to doing. In other words, crossword puzzles aren’t enough to challenge your brain, if you’re already a regular puzzle doer. Instead, you need to pick up a new skill like learning to dance, play a musical instrument, study a new language or do math problems – something that’s challenging and a little outside your comfort zone. Brain-training websites like Lumosity.com and BrainHQ.com are good mind exercising tools because they continually adapt to your skill level to keep you challenged. Socializing and interacting with other people is another important way to stimulate the brain. So make a point to reach out and stay connected to friends, family and neighbors. Join a club, take a class or even volunteer – anything that enhances your social life. Don’t smoke or drink excessively: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption both eff ect the brain in a negative way, so kick the habit if you smoke and, if you drink, do so only in moderation. Reduce stress: Some stress is good for the brain, but too much can be toxic. There’s growing evidence that things like mindfulness meditation, yoga and tai chi are all good ways to help reduce stress. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
