The need for this bill has been no secret and has been reported on widely. I welcome the opportunity for all interested parties to be presented with I an offi cial proposal regarding a new soccer stadium if and when the legislation is passed. Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston and I are strong advocates for leveraging private projects to improve the lives of residents in environmental justice communities, especially if they help enhance public transit options for our residents and our region. She’s a great ally for the advancement of bus rapid transit systems, and I appreciate that. The Conservation Law Foundation’s opposition over the process for changing a designated port area makes no sense when one considers the benefi ts of using private funds to replace a contaminated industrial site with a waterfront area — one that features open green space and fresh air. Everett has watched on the sidelines for years while other communities have grown. We have carried the burden of smokestacks and outdated industries long enough. Everett deserves better options such as those our surrounding communities already enjoy. and throughout the Commonwealth,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “There is also language in this bill that will help my community clean up a power plant site that has been a health and environmental hazard for decades. This will open up the possibility for hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment, cleanup of a hazardous waste site, create good paying union jobs, and open our waterfront for the public to enjoy.

Her contract, which started March 1, 2020, was set to expire on February 28 anyway, but William Hart was named Interim Superintendent in November and to the position with a longterm contract in December. The School Committee voted not to renew Tahiliani’s contract well before her being placed on paid leave. Her not being allowed to fi nish out her term of employment was perhaps unusual, but the decision not to renew the contract was not. In any event, she was paid through the end of the contract, which could negate any claims of lost wages. In addition, any claims that the terms of her leaving Everett aff ected her ability to fi nd a new job might be negated by her getting the job in Brockton, which seems to be a good fi t for someone who was Superintendent in a similar working-class city like Everett. In the interim, Tahiliani applied unsuccessfully for superintendencies in Melrose and Natick.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 19, 2024 Page 5 After a 10-year battle Bread Of Life sets date for grand re-opening By Tara Vocino t’s been 10 years in the making, but Sunday, Aug. 11 is when the Bread of Life will fi nally celebrate its grand re-opening at 54 Eastern Ave in Malden. “It’s been a brutally long I process,” Bread Of Life Board President Sean Twomey said Wednesday. “We had to overcome fi ve stumbling blocks to get this done, including partners dropping out.” Twomey said everything that could go wrong did, but moving past that, Metro North Housing Corporation saw it to fruition. They will help provide 14 studio apartments, some for formerly homeless veterans. “It’s been an incredible struggle,” Twomey said. “They said it was going to take 3 years, but it took 10.” However, Twomey said — today — Bread of Life is now the most effi cient charitable organization. Bread Of Life Development Director Patti Kelly said Wednesday that at the August grand re-opening, they will serve an ice cream buff et style, similar to how meals are served in the Bread Of Life to give guests that unique experience. “Dairy Delight, who has been supportive of Bread Of Life, will help people to select toppings,” Kelly said. “People will scoop ice cream into a bowl.” Guests can sponsor a garden bed (pictured) for a minimum of $2,000, which will be displayed outside of the new building. Sponsors will be named. Kelly encouraged guests to come after enjoying the San Rocco festival from 2 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 11.

Mayor Gary Christenson commented on what the renovated Bread Of Life facility will bring to the city. “Since 1980, Bread of Life has been providing meals through food pantries, meals programs, and homeless family outreach.

Work began this week on the final two-mile section of the project: from Western Avenue in Lynn to Nahant Beach. The state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) held a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday (Thursday, July 11) to build the two-mile, twoway, separated bike lane. The Northern Strand Community Trail now runs from Everett, through Malden, Revere and Saugus, and it ends at Western Avenue about one mile west of downtown Lynn. The plans include extending that trail with curb-separated, on-street bike lanes and sidewalk improvements through downtown Lynn to state-owned parkland at Nahant Beach. This project is expected to provide safer and improved transportation access for bicyclists and pedestrians. Bike to the Sea is also working with offi cials in Revere to extend the trail from Linden Square in Malden to Revere Beach alongside the roadway there. Bike to the Sea has been working since 1993 to create the Northern Strand Community Trail: a trail free of cars from Everett, Mass., to the beaches in Lynn and Nahant. That dream has now been realized and the trail is being utilized as a commute and recreation corridor through Everett, Malden, Revere, Saugus and Lynn.

According to Smith and Maloney, in the more distant past, the area was a residential area of three-deckers called The Line, possibly referring to an MBTA subway line station at the corner of Beacham and Lower Broadway dating back to 1919 or the fact that it’s on the Boston city line. The current proposal is rectangular with an end-to-end walking time of 10-15 minutes, but the size and scope are subject to change in the site review process. It will not be operational until at least 2028 and possibly later than that. Among other things, a Host Agreement will have to be worked out. Literature distributed by Jupiter cites its $500 million-plus investment in the project, annual tax revenue for the City, jobs during remediation and construction, the facility’s compatibility with the area, and a design for it to blend into its surroundings. Artist renderings in the open house portrayed a grayish building surrounded by trees. A bike path for the area is also in the plans. There was no formal lecture-style presentation on the project. Instead, representatives from Jupiter took small groups on a walking tour of the Connolly Center fl oor fi lled with large English and Spanish printouts of a PowerPoint presentation. Information was also available in other languages and translators were present. About 35 people attended the Tuesday open house. Many were optimistic, but cautious about the project. “It’ll clean up the area, create jobs and provide tax revenue, but we’re still learning about this,” Smith said. “The area needs rehabilitation, but we’ll need details,” Maloney feels. She referred to the previous structures as Esso gas tanks because Exxon was once known as Esso, a phonetic abbreviation of Standard Oil. Everett Bank President Richard O’Neil, who’s attorney-brother David O’Neil is an attorney representing Jupiter, found the project interesting. “This is a good idea,” said former Ward 6 Councillor Al Lattanzi. “It’ll provide clean energy; I like that.” Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky attended the Wednesday open house, although he was already familiar with the proposal. “I’m still learning about this, but it might be a good fi t for the area,” he said. “I’m glad Jupiter is making an eff ort to show what this is all about.” The longtime city councillor said the proposed use would create less traffi c than housing. The City has no offi cial position on the proposal. Director of Planning and Community Development Matt Lattanzi, who is also familiar with the project, called the idea a “viable use, but it’s for 20 acres out of over 96 acres of an area that will be subject to a Master Plan. We’re excited to see a new use for the land fi ltered through a Master Plan.” “I need to digest this,” provisional Fire Chief Joe Hickey reacted. “Due to the demands of everyday life, there are concerns about power. A system like this can be benefi cial because there is a need for this at peak use times, but there would be concerns about access and hazards. Different types of structures require different types of access and a fi re there would be diff erent than a regular fi re.” Jupiter is calling the planned site the Trimount Energy Storage Facility.

Additional talent-retention provisions promote internships for students and recent graduates through the employer internship tax credit and allow foreign-licensed physicians to apply for a limited license to practice medicine in the Commonwealth with a pathway to a full unrestricted license. The program would enable their talents to be used to fill the state’s physician shortage. Supporting small businesses With nearly 50 per cent of Massachusetts workers employed by companies with less than 500 employees, small businesses are a key part of the Commonwealth’s economy. The Senate’s legdent, reminded graduates that in the past four years they had lived through COVID dorms, eight Taylor Swift albums and three Badger football coaches. She emphasized that “it is not our resumes or the titles we hold that define us, but the depth of our humanity.” islation recognizes this, providing $25 million through MassVentures for small business technology grants to help early-stage companies commercialize new technologies, $35 million for grants to Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to help disadvantaged and underserved businesses and $10 million for BizM-Power matching grants to small businesses with capital needs. To assist small businesses in rural areas and areas impacted by pollution, the bill authorizes $3 million for grants to improve the readiness of sites for economic development projects and $30 million for the Brownfields Redevelopment Fund to support the remediation of land impacted by environmental contamination. During debate, the Senate adopted several amendments, notably: • To increase the age of juvenile jurisdiction to include 18-year-olds. The initiative, which is known as “Raise the Age,” is proven to decrease crime and improve public safety by allowing emerging adults who are 18 years old – the typical age of a senior in high school – to be tried as juveniles instead of adults for certain crimes. • To allow local communities to opt in and allow bars and restaurants in the community to responsibly offer happy hour drink discounts • To admit Massachusetts in the national nurse licensure compact, helping to address the critical workforce challenge facing the health care sector • To enhance local public health infrastructure and service delivery • To allow local breweries and distilleries to sell their products alongside local wineries at farmers markets • To increase opportunities for a more diverse public sector teaching force • To provide consumers more rights to seek repair of their cell phones without having to seek service from the original manufacturer

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 19, 2024 Vecchione adds another championship to his impressive hockey portfolio With a second Calder Cup in the books for the AHl’s Hershey Bears, the Saugus native eyes the hat trick next year By Joe McConnell ast year, Saugus native Mike Vecchione scored the overtime goal in Game 7 of the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Calder Cup finals to secure the first championship for his Hershey Bears since 2010. As a result, the Bears ended up beating the Coachella Valley Firebirds, 3-2. The same two teams went at L it again last month in the AHL finals. It took six games and another overtime period for the Bears to accomplish the backto-back feat. This time, they defeated the Firebirds, 5-4, in the clincher. The triumph was one for the history books, because it marked Hershey’s 13th Calder Cup championship, the most ever among AHL clubs. Vecchione suited up for 20 playoff games this spring and was credited with 2 goals and 8 assists. During the regular season, he had 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points in 67 games. After another successful season, the first question for Vecchione is fairly obvious: What is it like to win consecutive Calder Cup championships? “Words really cannot even begin to describe it, and I am not sure where to begin, because it just happened so fast,” said Vecchione. “It feels pretty surreal. I mean, after last year’s finals, I thought that was the top of the mountain, but here we Portal To Hope (“PTH”) serves people whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence and related assault crimes.

It feels like a blur.” “The offseason was so short, and the next thing I knew we were back playing in Hershey and making a Cup run. And at the blink of an eye, we were hoisting another [one],” added the Saugus native, who has also won championships in high school at Malden Catholic and at Division 1 Union College. That opportunity to win on all three levels is not lost on Vecchione, especially as a pro. “It is crazy, because there are so many friends of mine – or players I have crossed paths with – that have neither made it to the playoffs nor won a Cup. When you step back and take a breath to soak it all in, it still does not feel real. Once you win, there is so much partying going on, and the next thing EVERETT KIWANIS 38th ANNUAL FRANK E.

Both teams also hooked up last year in the finals, with the Bears coming out on top in overtime, 3-2, when Vecchione scored the clincher. (Courtesy photo/Tori Hartman/Hershey Bears) you know guys are leaving and signing with new teams, and it is on to the next season. But that’s just the nature of the business, even though at the same time we will always share that moment together as brothers forever,” he said. Just like the NHL’s (National Hockey League) Stanley Cup, players on the winning team get their day with the Cup. But this year might be different. “I’m not sure when, or if, I will be getting the Cup again this summer, because of the incredibly short offseason. But if I do, I’m certain that it will sink in, and I will have another memorable day with it like I did last year,” Vecchione said. After finishing with the AHL’s best overall regular season record (53-14-0-5), the Bears had to endure a long, agonizing and sometimes frustrating run in the playoffs. They earned a first-round bye before beating the Lehigh Valley Phantoms three games to one. They then swept the Hartford Wolfpack in three games. But the Cleveland Monsters gave them all they could handle in the Eastern Conference finals, taking them to a seventh game, before succumbing on the Bears’ home ice. But before they did, the Monsters staged a furious comeback bid after going down 3-1 in the series. The Firebirds also made them earn their second straight Cup with the finals going six games. Despite the long playoff run, it was not unlike last year’s journey. The only difference was that the 2023 Eastern Conference finals went six, while the aforementioned finals took all seven games, before the kid from Saugus won it in overtime. But for fans, this year just looked tougher, but Vecchione has a simple explanation for it. “This year’s playoff run got tough, because of the physicality of Cleveland,” he said. “They were a heavy team that could forecheck well, and we did not protect our defensemen as well as we could have, and it cost us dearly. We lost three of our six starting defensemen in that series, and they were not able to return for the remainder of the playoffs. We also lost two of our leading goal scorers for a short period of time in that series, one for oral surgery after taking a puck to the face that caused him to lose 10 teeth, and the other one from a bad hit into the bench. It was more of a mental battle than anything else for us, because we had the guys to win. We just were not executing at the level we were before, because of the adjustments we had to make. But give Cleveland credit. They saw blood in the water and capitalized. Once we got through that series, we were back to playing Bears hockey, and were able to beat Coachella in six. We dominated the physical aspect of the game in that series, and it took a toll on them, which is why I believe we were able to win the last three games to secure our second Cup.” HOCKEY | SEE PAGE 11

The reason for that was because I took on a different role.

PROTECT PRIVACY OF PEOPLE SEEKING REPRODUCTIVE AND GENDER AFFIRMING CARE (H 4844) House 159-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would prohibit the sale of cellphone data collected during an individual’s visit to Massachusetts health care facilities that offer reproductive and gender affi rming care. Currently, data brokers are allowed to sell data that tracks the location of cellphone users. Supporters said that since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, location data fi rms have been selling location information related to patients’ visits to Planned Parenthood facilities. They noted the information could be used to target and harass individuals and providers of these services. “To ensure the protections for patients, providers and LEGAL NOTICE City of Everett PLANNING BOARD 484 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 their families established by this Legislature truly exist, it is essential that we likewise protect digital footprints of those seeking, receiving and providing abortion and gender-affirming care,” said Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “This legislation is the fi rst step in providing that protection at a time when more than 20 state legislatures have banned or severely restricted access to abortion and gender-affi rming care.” “We know that purchasing location data to target Planned Parenthood patients or providers is part of the anti-abortion playbook, not just in restrictive states but everywhere,” said Dominique Lee, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. “Now is the time to strengthen data privacy so that cellphone location data cannot be used to target people traveling to and from our health centers, or to target anyone seeking health care that is protected in our state.” “With the passage of today’s bill, the House has made important progress to address the evolving threat to abortion patients and providers,” said Rebecca Hart Holder, President of Reproductive Equity Now. “In the two years post-Dobbs, hostile actors have targeted the location data of patients and providers in all 50 states, and now, we are increasingly concerned that this data will be weaponized against those seeking and providing care in Massachusetts.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes $2.86 BILLION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE (S 2856) Senate 40-0, approved a $2.86 billion economic development package that supporters say would make bold investments in life sciences, climate tech, AI and small businesses, building on Massachusetts’ national leadership and creating an environment where businesses and workers thrive.

Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who supported the amendment. “Lowering it could help business investment and actually provide economic activity.” Amendment opponents said the Legislature recently passed, and Gov.

They noted that the tax cut package included a reduction in the short-term capital gains tax. “Only last year, we passed signifi cant tax reductions,” said Sen.

Frederick Cafasso Chairman July 19, 26, 2024 aware that a Settlor can reserve diff erent aspects of control over an irrevocable Trust. When Congress passed the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, many years prior to passing the current Medicaid Trust laws in 1985 and 1993, Congress had already dealt with control by Settlors in the Trust income taxation area with the well-known “grantor-type” Trust rules. The provisions of Internal Revenue Code sections 671-679, the “grantor-type” Trust rules, are very detailed, and indicate that Congress is very much aware that there are many varieties of Trust provisions where Settlors can reserve varying degrees of control over irrevocable Trusts. In proper statutory interpretation of federal laws, Congress is presumed to know about other laws it has passed. In the Medicaid context, if Congress had been concerned about trust control issues and wanted state agencies, such as MassHealth, to make a complicated review of irrevocable Trusts, Congress could have simply pointed to the “grantor-type” Trust rules. When passing federal Medicaid Trust laws, Congress did not indicate concern for control issues by making any cross-reference to the grantor-type Trust rules, or inserting provisions directly in the federal Medicaid Trust law prohibiting any degree of control by the Settlor. When passing federal Medicaid Trust laws, Congress simply allowed each state to implement their own debtor-creditor laws. MassHealth had been attempting to redefi ne well-settled Trust law in an attempt to deny MassHealth benefi ts. Its legal department was attempting to stretch any legal theory it could come up with to the point of the theory being nonsensical. From a pure Trust law standpoint, the vast majority of Elder Law/Trust Law attorneys believe that these attempts to interpret Trust law in such a way as to achieve MassHealth’s end goal of not approving MassHealth applications, represented a lack of good faith and a defi nite lack of administration consistency on the part of MassHealth. Elder Law attorneys depend upon consistency by hearing offi cers who end up reviewing irrevocable Trusts and rendering decisions on the countability of assets housed in them for eligibility purposes. The bar advocacy for applicants has done an outstanding job in Massachusetts over the last ten years in fi nally achieving the goal of having clients being able to successfully transfer assets to irrevocable trusts that are properly drafted without having to deal with continuous challenges by MassHealth based upon unjustifiable legal positions. Asset protection planning is a perfectly permissible objective of any family. I have yet to have a tax client come to my offi ce and say to me “I want to pay more in income taxes this year than the law requires me to”. Joseph D.

Frederick Cafasso Chairman July 19, 26, 2024 reduce bending or reaching, organize your mom’s kitchen cabinets and drawers so that the items she most frequently uses are within comfortable reach. You can also make her lower cabinets and pantry easier to access by installing pullout shelves or lazy susans. And, by installing pull-down shelves in her upper cabinets (see Reva-shelf.com) so she doesn’t have to get on a stool to reach things on high shelves. I also recommend replacing her cabinet and drawer knobs with “D” or “C” shaped pull-handles because they’re more comfortable for arthritic hands to grasp than knobs. Faucet: If your mom has a twist-handle kitchen faucet, replace it with an ADA compliant single handle faucet, or with a touch, motion or digital smart faucet. They’re easier to operate, especially if she has hand arthritis or gripping problems. And, for safety purposes, set her hot water tank at 120 degrees to prevent possible water burns. Microwave and cooktop safety: If your mom’s microwave is mounted above her stove, consider moving it, or get her a small microwave for the countertop so she doesn’t have to reach over a cooktop to insert or remove food. And if you’re worried about your mom forgetting to turn off the stove there are automatic shut-off devices you can purchase and install to prevent a fi re. iGuardStove (iGuardFire.com) makes one of the best smart shutoff devices for gas and electric stoves. And to guard against microwave fires, there’s the SmartMicro microwave shutoff made by Pioneering Technology (PioneeringTech.com). Shopping for Appliances If you’re looking to upgrade some of your mom’s appliances, here are some diff erent features to keep in mind. Refrigerator: French-door refrigerators that open in the middle are great for seniors because it makes it easier to see and reach what’s inside. Pullout adjustable height shelves and a water/ice dispenser on the outside of the door are also very convenient. Stove or cooktop: Look for one with controls in the front so your mom won’t have to reach over hot burners to turn it off , and make sure the controls are easy to see. Flat surface electric or induction burners, or continuous grates on gas stoves are also great for sliding heavy pots and pans from one burner to the next. And ask about automatic shut off burners. Oven: Self-cleaning ovens are a plus and consider a sideswing door model. They’re easier to get into because you don’t have to lean over a hot swingdown door. Also consider a wall-mounted oven, installed at your mom’s preferred height to eliminate bending. Dishwasher: Consider a drawer-style dishwasher that slides in and out for easier access and, if possible, have it installed on a raised platform 12 to 24 inches above fl oor level so it can be loaded and unloaded without bending over. Washer and dryer: Frontload washers and dryers with pedestals that raise the height around 24 inches are also back-savers and easier to access. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Title IX of the federal Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex and gender discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal fi nancial assistance. Supporters noted that DCR maintains ownership of dozens of ice rinks and swimming facilities across the state, many of which have been leased to private companies or municipalities to operate. They said these publicly owned facilities host competitions for hockey leagues, swim teams and fi gure skating programs while also providing a venue for offerings such as water aerobics classes and public skating. They argued that Title IX requires “locker room equity” which means having appropriate changing and showering facilities to comply with Title IX equality requirements. They said that many DCR facilities were built decades ago, before Title IX, and prior to the growth in popularity of women’s sports. “With Title IX celebrating its 50th year anniversary last year, we are long overdue in ensuring that all athletes have access to equal accommodations at our state-owned rinks and pools,” said bill sponsor Rep. Walsh (D-Peabody). “This bill will encourage compliance with federal law and the basic fairness of locker room equity will allow and encourage more girls and women to participate in the sports programming offered at DCR-owned facilities.” QUOTABLE QUOTES – By The Numbers Edition Last week marked the 1-year anniversary of a bill signed into - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division Docket No. MI24P3479EA Estate of: JOAO DEPINA FERNANDES Date of Death: AUGUST 25, 2023 INFORMAL PROBATE PUBLICATION NOTICE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner Gianni Duarte Fernandes of Brockton, MA Gianni Duarte Fernandes of Brockton, MA has been informally appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to serve without surety on the bond.

Page 20 BEACON | FROM PAGE 19 a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate 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. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight 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 July 8-12. the House met for a total of four hours and 43 minutes and the Senate met for a total of twelve hours and 49 minutes. Mon.

NHL scouts are in the stands every night, including our own Washington scouts. They are watching the games, but I have not gotten any calls as of yet,” he added. Good to be home Mike is now enjoying his time back home in Saugus, where he will continue to do his training and skating in the area to get ready for the start of next year, which gets underway in just two short months Specifi cally, he has also been playing street hockey with friends on rollerblades. This type of activity keeps the hands and legs loose. But it’s not all business. Socially, he has a couple of weddings and golf outings to attend. But otherwise, during his down time, he will rest to get his body back to where it needs to be to compete for a third straight Calder Cup championship. Going down memory lane Championships aside, Vecchione will always remember his teammates the most. It’s as simple as that. “The season happens so fast that you have to forget about the games. You just played them, and move forward,” he said. “It does not matter what happened the night before, you just have to continue to build and build until you have reached the top. “We forget about the games almost immediately, except for the big ones, of course. But [teammates] you will never forget. During the long workdays, where we battle each other for what seems like forever, we skate together until we cannot feel our legs.” The fun times were even more memorable. “During the long bus rides home after a road sweep, we would be laughing, playing cards, listening to music or just singing together with smiles from ear-to-ear. I also liked the road dinners, where we would get - LEGAL NOTICE - CITY OF EVERETT to go out and spend your per diem money at a nice, fancy steakhouse, and then just talk, laugh and eat for three hours. The locker room banter, sauna sessions and freezing our bodies in the cold tub while watching music video concerts on TV just to get ready for the next game will never be forgotten, as well,” he recalled. “Being able to share my biggest career moments with my fiancé and her parents [he plans to get married next Aug. 8] is more stuff that I will always remember,” added Mike. “You don’t win championships if you don’t come together and become a family. That’s what our head coach, Todd Nelson, has come to Hershey and accomplished, besides winning back-to-back championships. He has been able to take a group of guys ranging from 19 to 36 yearsold and make them a family. I will always remember winning back-to-back Calder Cups, and scoring the game-winning goal last year in overtime, but I will also never forget my teammates. They will forever be my brothers.”
