Commissioner Gayle Cameron said the agreement will “enable the commission to receive an investigative report and move forward with an adjudicatory proceeding regarding Wynn Resorts’ suitability as soon as possible.” In addition, the commission has stated that failing to settle the lawsuit would “almost certainly” delay the opening of Encore, which is currently scheduled for June. However, Wynn has yet to agree to the settlement. Wynn filed the lawsuit on Nov. 7, 2018, after the commission launched an investigation against him stemming from a number of sexual harassment claims made by former female employees. Although Wynn denied the accusations, he felt compelled to resign as the company’s CEO on Feb. 6, 2018. “I have found myself the focus of an avalanche of negaGAMING | SEE PAGE 19 P L O U C S K Y K S O M E H

Therefore, he said, placards have been put on the city’s storm drains stating where the water ends up. St. Louis said the placards have been a sound deterrent. “It’s one tool that’s been effective,” he said. St. Louis also said that like other cities, Everett is susceptible to the urban heat island effect. According to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), urban heat islands are “built up areas that are hotter than nearby rural areas.” St. Louis said that 80 percent of the city’s land is covered by pavement, concrete and other hardscape, which retains heat from the day. Communications Director http://www.sabatino-ins.com SABATINO 564 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 617-387-7466 Hours of Operation are: Mondays - Fridays 9am to 5pm Saturdays by appointment only Thomas Philbin described the ramifications of having 80 percent hardscape. “When you have that much surface paved, all the pollutants build up,” he said. “It’s like dumping fertilizer into our rivers and streams.” As required by the EPA’s Municipal Storm Water Program, the campaign has targeted flood prone areas, such as Tremont Street, Air Force Road, Elton Street and the North/South Creek. The campaign is funded through a state grant from the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program. Philbin said the campaign has called for rain gardens and swales to be put in at Day Park and along Appleton Street. He also said a new rain garden will be installed this spring as a student art project. Looking ahead, St. Louis said an eight-foot by two-foot culvert will be installed in the North/South Creek. He also said there are plans for a dredging project and to remove the phragmites that have overtaken the banks of the creek. In addition, St. Louis said a new tide gate will be installed on the lower section of Broadway and repairs will be made to the 100-year-old tide gate on Spring Street. He said the city has also been working with officials in Chelsea to construct a berm along the Island End River. “It’s a work in progress,” said St. Louis. Philbin said DeMaria’s ultimate goal is to make the Malden River safe for kayaking, canoeing and even a recreational crew team. “The main goal of the mayor is to open up the waterfront,” he said. Patrick Herron, executive director of the Mystic River Watershed Association, said Everett has “rediscovered its waterfront.” “Significant credit should go to Mayor DeMaria who has focused the attention of his administration on both the Malden River and the Mystic River,” he said. “We’ve been partnering with the City of Everett on getting the message out on clean water and opportunities to reduce the pollutants going into local waterways.” Herron also said the association has been working with city officials to design sustainable infrastructure to assuage stormwater runoff.

Everett adults from the 70s, 80s and 90s can vividly and colorfully recall a final shot, championship game and that iconic green monster painting in the back right corner of the Rec Center.

If anyone has any idea who the scurrilous, trashy writer is at the Leader fish wrap on Wednesday – you would be shocked regarding his reputation as a fly-by-nighter, and I’m just surprised that he and the fish wrap haven’t been sued for the trashy innuendo about the mayor.

With over 110 players and 10 teams participating this year, the recreation center has once again become a value to the city and, most importantly, to the youngsters. Seen this winter, the youngsters and their parents got a feel for how important recreational opportunities are and the value of public recreational facilities in helping gain confidence, build relationships and understand sportsmanship and teamwork. “We have established programs that offer our young people with exciting opportunities to enhance their individual and team skills, while also developing into young adults,” said DeMaria. “We are committed and determined to provide fun, competitive experiences, but more importantly a learning environment where they can grow to be well-respected members of our community.” Eastern Bank Bldg. on RT-1 605 Broadway, #301 Saugus, MA 01906 (781) 233-6844 www.bostonnorthdental.com Dr. Priti Amlani · Restorative Dentistry · Cosmetic Dentistry · Implant Restorations · Zoom Whitening · Teeth in a Day - All on 6 Full Mouth Rehabilitation Before Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida Barros visited Erica Moschella’s kindergarten class at the Lafayette School on Feb. 27 in recognition of this year’s Read Across America Week.

Improvements to both infrastructure and services are being implemented – from increasing the accessibility to affordable gym plans and healthy food, to making our buildings, streets and neighborhoods safer.

Since its inception in 2015, the Health Center has grown with new levels of participation – this year expanding to 5,426 members. Over the past four years, the administration has continually met its longterm goal of increasing the accessibility, availability and affordability of both exercise programs and healthful foods in the community. Strategies to achieve the healthful foods goal include the following: working toward changes in school food procurement policies – stocking vending machines with healthy snack and beverage options at all municipal facilities, assisting schools in meeting basic nutritional guidelines; approaching small stores to promote healthier food and beverage options; and working with local restaurants to add healthy options to their menus. In addition to increasing awareness and availability of healthy foods, Mayor DeMaria’s administration continues in its mission to increase opportunities for physical activity. Projects include establishing a “Complete Streets” policy design standard for Everett, in which streets and developments are constructed and refurbished with all users – motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit – in mind. These policies include bike lanes and paths, raised crosswalks, flashing pedestrian signals, improved bus shelters, and traffic-calming measures. The Department of Planning & Development and the City Services Department have also been making strides toward a healthier and safer community with updates and additions to city infrastructure. Recent Capital Improvement Plans have renovated Glendale Park, Swan Street Park, Florence Street Park, Gramstorff Park, Sacramone Park, Meadows Park, Wehner Park and Herman Day Park, in order to provide a safe and well-maintained space for youngsters, seniors and families to exercise and play. “We are providing our children with the best recreational facilities in the state,” said DeMaria. “We have renovated over eight parks in the last couple of years. Park renovations and recreational programs provide our children and families the opportunity to participate in team sports and enjoy open play – but these park improvements are only a small down payment to the citizens of Everett.” These improvements and continued efforts will help ensure that the city grows in a positive direction, remains strong and educates and assists its residents in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is this type of cooperative work that will ultimately build a healthier Everett.

Ward 1 Councilor Fred Capone, who is sponsoring the ordinance, said there would be a one-time fee of $10 for every 25 cubic yards of storage. “This is a piece in progress,” he said during the Feb. 25 meeting, adding that the council should be mindful about increasing the fee. “We don’t want to cripple the businesses.” He also said that such a regulation is needed in Everett. “Without it, we have no protection. Without this, we have nothing to say,” said Capone. “We want to make sure we’re protecting the water, the air and the soil.” However, Ward 5 Councilor Rosa DiFlorio said the ordinance would be “unenforceable.” “My gut tells me not to vote for this,” she said. She also said the locations for dry bulk storage are few and far between. “There’s maybe 12 lots where this could happen,” she said.

Raw sewage spill and Free Cash transfer In other news, resident Rosemary Paley of Duncan Road said 2,000 gallons of raw sewage poured into her basement two months ago. “It was 12 inches deep; the smell lasted seven days,” said Paley, who shares the residence with her 75-year-old mother. “It was a serious situation; we lost a lot of things in that basement.” Paley said the incident occurred on a Friday and when she called City Hall, she was told to “call back on Monday.” “I called the Department of Public Works and got routed back to the main number,” she said. “Calling on deaf ears – it’s wrong.” The council also voted to transfer $2.9 million from Free Cash and allocate $899,295 to the General Stabilization Fund, $899,295 to Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) and the remaining $1.1 million to the Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund. Prior to the transfer, there was $2.5 million in the General Stabilization Fund, $2.2 million in the Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund and $3.5 million in OPEB funding.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.

Informal sessions are ones in which there can be no roll call votes and everything is approved or rejected on an unrecorded voice vote. Supporters of the rule said it is unfair to allow tax hikes to be brought up at these lightly attended sessions often without informing members of the agenda. Opponents said the rule is unnecessary because any single member who shows up at a lightly attended informal session can doubt the presence of a quorum, at which point the session would end because there is not a quorum. (A "Yes" vote is for prohibiting tax hikes from being brought up at informal sessions. A "No" vote is against the prohibition.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENTS (H 2019) House 5-152, rejected a proposed amendment to a current House rule that allows the chief sponsor of an amendment to withdraw his amendment unilaterally without the permission of his or her co-sponsors. The amendment would keep an amendment alive unless the chief sponsor and all the co-sponsors agree to withdraw it. Amendment supporters said the current rule gives too much power to the prime sponsor without considering whether the co-sponsors would still like to debate and vote on the amendment. Amendment opponents said the current rule has worked well and the change is unnecessary and unfair. They noted many times the chief sponsor will withdraw one amendment in order to get another one approved and said this new rule would interfere with that negotiation. (A "Yes" vote is for the amendment requiring the permission of the chief sponsor and co-sponsors in order to withdraw an amendment. A “No” vote is against requiring it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No REMOTE VOTING BY REPRESENTATIVES (H 2019) House 32-125, rejected a proposed new House rule that would allow representatives who are attending a committee hearing in the Statehouse to cast their vote from the committee room when a roll call vote is being held in the House chamber. The rule also provides that a remote-control station with fingerprint recognition be set up in each committee hearing room in the Statehouse. hearings are held at the same time the House is in session voting on important issues. They said it is unfair that these members are denied the right to vote if they are in a hearing room giving or listening to testimony on various bills. Opponents offered no arguments. Rep. Bill Galvin (D-Canton) the chairman of the Rules Committee that drafted the new rules did not respond to several requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A "Yes" vote is for allowing remote voting. A "No" vote is against allowing it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 18-22, the House met for a total of 20 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 52 minutes.

I have a difficult time getting up and down the stairs anymore and am interested in purchasing a stair lift for my house but could use some help choosing one. Dear Ann, Arthritic Ann A good home stair lift is an excellent solution for those with mobility challenges who have trouble with steps. A stair lift will carry you up and down the stairs in a safe seated position, providing easy access to the second story or basement level of your home. To help you choose a quality stair lift that meets your needs and budget, here are a few shopping tips, along with some top-rated companies that make them. Types of Lifts There are two basic types of stair lifts that are sold today: straight and curved. The type you need will depend upon the design of your staircase. A straight stair lift is one that travels in a straight line up a flight of stairs uninterrupted by landings, bends or curves, and costs between $2,500 and $5,000 installed. Curved lifts, however, are much more elaborate and will go around corners, bends and changes in direction. Curved lifts are also much more expensive, typically running between $8,500 and $15,000 or more depending on the complexity of the installation. You also need to know that all stair lifts mount to the stair treads, not to the wall, so they are very sturdy and can be installed in almost any home. If you are a large person, you may need to get a heavy-duty lift with a wider seat and bigger lifting capacity – all companies offer them. Or, if you’re tall, find out about raising the seat height during installation. Most stair lifts available today also have seats, armrests and footplates that fold up out of the way, and swivel seats that make getting into and out of the chair easier. They also come with standard safety features like seatbelts, breaking systems and footrest sensors, push-button or rocker-switch controls located on the armrest for easy operation, and “call send” controls which allow you to call or send the unit to the other end of the stairs. Make sure the lift you choose has all these features. Depending on the company, you may also have the option of choosing between an electric (AC) and a battery powered (DC) stair lift. Battery powered units charge at the base station (some recharge anywhere on the track) are quieter, smoother and better than electric lifts, and will work even if there’s a power failure in the home. Where to Shop While there are many companies that make and sell stair lifts, two of the best, based on reputation and customer satisfaction ratings, are Bruno (Bruno.com, 800-454-4355) and Stannah (Stannah-Stairlifts.com, 888-465-7652). Unfortunately, original Medicare does not cover stair lifts nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. There are also many states that offer Medicaid waivers that will pay for lifts to those that qualify, and the VA offers cash grants to veterans with disabilities for home safety improvements. To save some money, you may want to consider purchasing a used or refurbished model. Or, if you need a stair lift for only a short period of time, consider renting one. Most companies offer these options, and many offer financing programs too. To get started, contact some stair lift companies who will put you in touch with a dealer in your area. All dealers provide free in-home assessments and estimates and can help you choose an appropriate lift. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

The commission’s investigation focused on reassessing the “casino operator’s suitability to run a casino in the state” and “whether Wynn Resorts’ executive leadership was aware of these allegations against the former CEO at the time that the casino operator submitted its bid to build the Everett casino.” However, Wynn claimed that his former company had furnished the commission with documents that were protected under the attorney-client privilege. Therefore, the lawsuit also included Wynn Resorts and the commission’s lead investigator, Karen Wells, as defendants. ~ HELP WANTED ~ Ring in the New Year with a New Career! * SALESPEOPLE * PARTS COUNTER * SERVICE TECHNICIANS * SERVICE COUNTER Earn Top Pay, Commissions and Benefits!
