THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 21, 2023 Page 7 STARS | FROM PAGE 1 bracket with three straight wins, before defeating favorite Melrose in a classic pitchers duel, 2-1 on July 13. The Everett stars opened up the district tournament with a win over visiting Malden, but then Charlestown knocked them into the unenviable losers bracket with a 5-3 triumph. But they rebounded nicely from that narrow defeat with three straight wins over Dorchester (4-3), Malden (7-6) and Charlestown again in the losers bracket fi nal, 4-2, setting the stage for the Melrose Instant Classic. The district fi nal was played at Melrose, but Everett was the home team after winning the coin fl ip. Nick Young was Everett’s starting pitcher, and he set the tone early with two strikeouts in the very fi rst inning. In the home half, Young as the team’s leadoff batter was issued a walk. But Calvin Hoag, his counterpart on the mound, fanned the next three batters to end the frame. Melrose had the game’s fi rst threat in the second after Declan Flanerty singled, followed by a walk to Bryce Phillips. They then moved up to scoring position on a passed ball, all with just one out. But Young got out of the jam on a popup and another strikeout. Troy Coke then doubled for Everett to leadoff the home half of the second, but was stranded there to squelch that potential threat. Melrose’s Lincoln Schuyler broke the scoreless tie with a solo homerun in the fourth. But the Everett boys weren’t about to give up. Young walked to leadoff the home half of the fourth. Nick Savi then singled, and both runners eventually moved up into scoring position on a passed ball. With two outs, Young scooted home on another passed ball, and after a throwing error by the catcher that got by Hoag, while covering the plate, Savi utilized his speed to account for the eventual game-winning run. “{Savi) is one of the smartest and hard-working kids on the team,” said manager Joe Young. “He’s a perfectionist. He works so hard on his game, and this play was no doubt the result of that hard work and quickness.” Young mesmerized the Melrose hitters once again in the fi fth, while recording his 10th strikeout of the game. He allowed just two hits over fi ve innings. Caden Foley then fi nThe Everett Little League All-Stars are shown celebrating their District 12 title at the annual Williamsport Tournament in Dorchester last week. ished the game on the hill for Everett in the sixth to pick up the save. Foley whiff ed two, including Schuyler, who was responsible for his team’s lone run of the game with his aforementioned round tripper. His strikeout ended up stranding Rocco Motroni on second with the potential tying run. Motroni was credited with a two-out double to the leftfi eld fence to keep his teammates’ hopes alive, albeit temporarily thanks to Foley’s coolness on the hill. “When I talked to Caden on the mound after Motroni’s double, he wanted to face Schuyler, and he did just that to fi nish off this classic game in style,” said Young. in District 12, will be competing against Parkway, the District 10A champs; Wellesley, the District 10B victors; and Canton, the District 11 kingpins. Everett faced the host team on Thursday, July 20, to begin the sectionals after press deadline. Wellesley is its scheduled opponent later today, followed by Canton Saturday night. IT’S TIME FOR A ROSIER OUTLOOK! ONLY “It was a pitching duel for the ages that resulted in the program’s fi rst district title since 2014. “It’s been an amazing run so far,” added Young. “The kids have been playing amazing baseball, particularly (Savi), who has been behind the plate for every inning throughout the district tournament. He has been in complete control of the pitching staff , as well as each individual game.” It’s now onto the State Section 3 Tournament at West Roxbury, the home of the Parkway Little League, from July 20-22.

The 2023 Walk will aim to raise $9 million in the eff ort to prevent, treat and defy cancer. The Jimmy Fund Walk is the only organized walk permitted on the famed Boston Marathon® course, and participants have the fl exibility to choose from four distance options: · 5K walk (from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Longwood Medical Campus) · 10K walk (from Newton) · Half Marathon walk (from Wellesley) · Marathon Walk (from Hopkinton) Whatever route walkers choose, participants will be treated to 10 refueling stations as well as poster-sized phoDRUG | FROM PAGE 5 dants.

On the morning of Tuesday, June 6, 2017, Massachusetts State Police, in cooperation with local law enforcement, simultaneously executed search warrants at fi ve locations in the communities of Everett, Melrose, Chelsea, Lynn and Revere that were suspected to be involved in the alleged drug distribution operation. Police also seized approximately three pounds of marijuana and scales and packaging materials consistent with drug distribution, two fi rearms (a fully loaded .357 Magnum, a loaded 9mm semiautomatic handgun), approximately 200 grams of a suspected cutting agent and approximately $6,000 in cash. As part of this investigation, a total of more than $40,000 in drug proceeds were seized. In addition to weapons, contraband and cash, as part of the operation, police also seized fi ve automobiles that were altographs of patients – Jimmy Fund Walk Heroes – displayed at each mile and half-mile marker as inspiration. All four routes of the Jimmy Fund Walk will culminate at the Jimmy Fund Walk Finish Line Powered by Schneider Electric. Due to construction in Copley Square, the Jimmy Fund Walk Finish Line location has been moved to the Fenway neighborhood for 2023. Walkers should know that distances might be slightly shorter, as the walk fi nishes in front of Fenway Park. The fi nish line will include a celebration complete with food, music and a speaking program. If walkers wish to participate a bit closer to home, the Jimmy Fund Walk has fl exible opportunities.

Law enforcement offi cials estimate that the defendants imported more than a dozen packages of suspected narcotics from September of 2016 through June 2017. The shipment of drugs that was seized on Friday, June 2, 2017, contained approximately two kilograms of uncut cocaine. Once cut for distribution, the total value of the seized cocaine would be well over $250,000.

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 21, 2023 MBTA Eliminates Signifi cant Speed Restriction in Orange Line Tunnel, FTA Closes Related SMI CAP Track repair signifi es an early milestone in the T’s response to the Federal Transit Administration’s Safety Management inspection Report. B OSTON – The MBTA today announced the closing of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) related to the completion of repair work on a section of Orange Line track known as the Tufts Curve located in the tunnel between Tufts Medical Center and Back Bay Stations. The repairs were performed as part of one of the 39 Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) that the MBTA wrote in response to the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Safety Management Inspection (SMI) Report conducted in 2022. The FTA offi cially closed the CAP in writing confi rming that the MBTA’s repairs appropriately addressed the track conditions. “Employees and managers are committed to changing the course of the MBTA with top-tobottom infrastructure improvements to improve safety and reliability,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Gina Fiandaca. “We are pleased the FTA has offi cially closed the Corrective Action Plan pertaining to the Orange Line corridor known as the Tufts Curve and we continue to be sharply focused on repairing the remaining track issues in other rail corridors. “Accomplishing this work was truly a team eff ort with contributions from many groups, including our engineers, maintenance, capital transformation, and compliance experts,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “I thank them for their dedication and hard work to address the vital track infrastructure work. While there is still work to do across the system, the completion of the Tufts Curve section of track represents an important step towards restoring the level of service our riders deserve.” The Tufts Curve repair work eliminates a major speed restriction along a 981-foot section of the track, northbound and southbound, allowing Orange Line trains to safely increase their operating speed to the full design speed in that section of the tunnel. Speed restrictions on the Tufts Curve were reduced to 10 mph in 2019. In the summer of 2022, the MBTA shut down the Orange Line for a 30day period to complete critical track and signal upgrades. That work allowed the northbound Tufts Curve speed restriction to be raised from 10 mph to 18 mph. With the latest repairs now complete, the speed is fully restored in both directions along the curve. The work signifies an early milestone in the MBTA’s response to the FTA’s SMI Report. Key among the fi ndings in the report were the signifi cant track maintenance needs across the entire MBTA rail transit system. In these areas, trains are required to run at slower-than-normal speeds because of defi ciencies caused by track wear and tear or other issues. Speed restrictions are put in place as a safety precaution to ensure rider safety. The challenging repair work on the Tufts Curve was complex and time-consuming due to the geometry of the curved track and the extremely limited work windows primarily available at night. Work crews often faced the challenges of mobilizing and demobilizing heavy equipment, personnel, and materials within a few short hours before returning the track for the morning commute. The completion of the Tufts Curve repair and the FTA’s CAP closure, specifically Special Directive 22-04 CAP 3, is the second CAP closure in recent months. In March of this year, the MBTA Vehicle Maintenance, with support from Quality, Compliance & Oversight, closed Special Directive 22-04 CAP 9, which restored the Green Line Work Trains and put them back into service.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. $693 MILLION FISCAL 2023 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 3982) House 154-0, approved and sent to the Senate a $693 million fiscal 2023 supplemental budget to help close out the books on fiscal year 2023 that ended on June 30. Provisions include $180 million for fiscally strained hospitals; $226 million for 33 collective bargaining agreements that have been ratified by state public employee unions; $100 million for the state’s pension fund; $40 million for a settlement of a court case related to police promotion discrimination; and $226 million for special education; and raises the current yearly cap from $10 million to $30 million for housing projects under the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP). “The package that is before you today covers a number of different areas that require our immediate and timely attention,” said House Ways and Means Committee chair Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “As we work towards closing the books for fiscal year 2023, these items are some of the most pressing needs the commonwealth is facing today. By addressing these deficiencies now, we’ll be able to start the fiscal year 2024 cycle in the strongest fiscal position possible.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $693 million supplemental budget.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes HOUSING DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM (H 3982) House 152-3, approved an amendment related to the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP). The amendment raises the current yearly cap from $10 million to $30 million – and provides for a one-time increase to $57 million to address the growing backlog of projects waiting for HDIP credits. HDIP, according to its state website, “provides Gateway Cities with a tool to develop market rate housing while increasing residential growth, expanding diversity of housing stock, supporting economic development and promoting neighborhood stabilization in designated areas.” “I have been working with MassINC, mayors and economic development directors from Gateway Cities, and housing advocates to support and improve the HDIP program since 2013,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Tony Cabral (D-New Bedford), Chair of the Gateway Cities Legislative Caucus. “Expanding the benefits of HDIP has long been the top priority of our caucus. We all know that Massachusetts and our Gateway Cities are facing a housing crisis that involves rising rents and home prices, and a severe shortage in housing options across all income levels.” “HDIP addresses this critical lack of middle-income housing by using a tax incentive to make developing market-rate housing in New Bedford more financially viable,” continued Cabral. “It is the only housing development program specifically targeted to meet the financial needs of housing production in Gateway Cities.” “I was proud to support the consolidated amendment, which included an increase in funding for the HDIP … [which is] is an essential tool available to Gateway Cities to produce housing supply,” said Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River). “At a time when the commonwealth faces a severe housing shortage, this program is vital to getting projects in the pipeline off the ground and provide a much needed increase in housing.” “I welcome all kinds of housing production, and I have the deepest respect for our Gateway Cities colleagues who are pushing to expand the HDIP program in their communities,” said Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge) who opposed the amendment. “However, HDIP doesn’t address the concerns of my Cambridge and Somerville constituents. The question raised by this amendment is ‘How much do we want to subsidize for-profit, private development of market-rate housing?’ Of all the ways we could spend money on housing, this is perhaps the most questionable.” “I believe that focusing funding on local housing authorities is a far more effective means of providing for those most in need,” said Rep. David DeCoste (R-Norwell) who also opposed the amendment. “I shared the concerns of Rep. Connolly that too much of the HDIP spending ends up enriching developers. The commonwealth would be much better off spending those funds locally through improving and expanding local housing authority available units.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (S 1997) – The State Administration and Regulatory Oversight Committee held a hearing on a bill that would repeal a current state law which creates professional licensure consequences for anyone who defaults on their student loan. Under current law, a borrower’s state-issued professional or occupational certificate, registration or license can be suspended, revoked or canceled if the borrower is in default on an education loan. “This procedure is nonsensical, as it strips the individual of their ability to produce an income, making it even more difficult to pay off those loans,” said sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “Forced closures due to COVID-19 have highlighted the economic hardships faced by many professionally licensed individuals such as hairdressers, massage therapists and physical therapists. These professions require close contact and have seen many restrictions since the start of the pandemic. While the Department of Education has extended grace to borrowers through forbearance temporarily, the protection is not permanent. When forbearance is not in place, these individuals do not need the threat of losing their professional license and their income source because of significant economical challenges they face while trying to pay back their loan.” The House and Senate both approved a similar bill in the 2021-2022 session on November 21, 2022 and sent it to then-Gov. Baker who proposed an amendment to the bill on December 1. Baker’s amendment would allow the Division of Banks to consider student loan defaults in order to ensure that the division will retain the discretion it has always applied when assessing an applicant’s fitness to provide consumer financial services to prospective borrowers. “Precluding the Division of Banks from reviewing credit reports as part of its evaluation of an individual’s financial responsibility for a financial services license could ultimately result in harm to consumers,” said Baker in his veto message. The House and Senate had more than a month to act on the governor’s amendment but did not do so. As a result, the entire bill died on January 3, 2023, the final day of the 2021-2022 session. ONLINE DRIVER’S ED (S 2261)- A proposal heard by the Transportation Committee would provide an online driver education program as an alternative to the current in-person classroom instruction for young drivers under 18. The bill would also remove the requirement to observe another student driver for six hours. “Obtaining a license is a milestone achievement but for many young people the inability to attend in-person classes due to family obligations, lack of transportation or after-school jobs, hinders their opportunity to succeed,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “I filed [the bill], so students who face barriers like these have access to online classes that allow them to meet their driver’s ed requirements.” MARIJUANA AND DRIVING (H 3355) – Another measure heard by the Transportation Committee would require that driver education courses include information on the impairment effects of marijuana. This would expand current law which requires driver education to include the dangers of drinking and driving. Supporters say that marijuana has been found in 30 percent of fatal car crashes in the Bay State. They noted that sadly many people have the false assumption that driving while under the influence of marijuana is relatively safe. “Driver’s education is crucial towards promoting safe driving habits,” said sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “Implementing a science-based module on the impairment effects of marijuana will provide the resources and information needed for future drivers to make informed decisions. This legislation will help make the streets of the commonwealth safer for everyone.” RIGHT OF STRIKERS TO RECEIVE UNEMPLOYMENT (H 1947/S 1172) –The Labor and Workforce Development Committee heard testimony on legislation that would allow unemployment benefits to be paid to on-strike workers who are unemployed because of a labor stoppage. “The corporation or employer in the middle of often contentious collective bargaining can weaponize certain unemployment benefits to coerce action and activity that is favorable to the employer and that adversely affects the worker,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough). “We’ve seen a patchwork of decisions over the years regarding unemployment depending on who the governor is and who the secretary of labor is on whether or not unemployment benefits would actually be paid.” “The right to strike is an important tool available to unions but many workers are afraid of what a strike may mean to their finances,” said House sponsor Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (D-Northampton). “Rules around unemployment are confusing and hard to understand. This legislation would clarify the right to benefits and, in doing so, would protect workers and their families.” ASIAN BODYWORK THERAPY (H 350) – A bill heard by the Committee on ConsumBEACON | SEE PAGE 18

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. 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 of July 1014, the House met for a total of eight hours and 26 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 58 minutes.

Page 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 21, 2023 Cash Value Life Insurance Policies I f applying for MassHealth it is important to realize that MassHealth will count the cash value in a whole life, universal life or variable universal life insurance policy if the face value of the policy is greater than $1,500. This is important as the community spouse can have no more than $148,620 in countable assets and the nursing home spouse can only have $2,000 or less in countable assets in order to be eligible for MassHealth long-term care benefi ts. If the community spouse has two cash value life insurance policies and each has a face value of $800, then the total face value would exceed $1,500 thereby rendering the cash value of both policies a countable asset. If the cash value policies are owned by the spouse applying for MassHealth benefi ts, ownership of the policies can be transferred to the community spouse in order to reduce the nursing home spouse’s countable assets to less than $2,000. There is no disqualifying transfer when one spouse transfers countable assets to the other spouse. However, the community spouse’s total countable assets cannot exceed $148,620, including the total cash value of all of the life insurance policies. An advanced planning strategy might be to transfer ownership of the policies to the children in order to commence the fi ve year look back period. Each of your children could also be the benefi ciary of each life insurance policy. This will serve to remove the countable asset out of the name(s) of the parent(s) when you feel confi - dent neither of the parents will be applying for MassHealth benefits prior to the expiration of the fi ve year look back period. If the policies are paid up with no more required premiums to be paid, the life insurance policies can be transferred to an irrevocable trust as well in order to commence the fi ve year look back period. Keep in mind that since term insurance policies have no cash value, they are not countable assets for MassHealth eligibility purposes. The community spouse would certainly want to make sure that the children are named the benefi - ciaries of the life insurance policy and not the spouse who is entering a nursing home who is either applying for MassHealth benefi ts or who is already on MassHealth. Another option would be for the community spouse to name his or her estate as the benefi ciary of the life insurance policies (cash value or term) and include a testamentary trust provision in his or her Will that would provide discretionary distributions of income and principal for the nursing home spouse. Assets in such a testamentary trust would not be a countable asset for MassHealth purposes and income and principal distributions would serve to provide supplemental benefits to the nursing home spouse that would not be provided by MassHealth or any other governmental programs. With advanced planning, you can transfer ownership of any life insurance policy to an irrevocable trust in order to remove the policy from the countable resource pool. Five years after such a transfer, the cash value in any life insurance policy will no longer be countable. If the insured were to die, the death benefit would be paid to the Trust and the surviving spouse would be entitled to the income generated from the investment of the life insurance proceeds, but not be entitled to receive any principal. It is always good to review your life insurance policies in order to determine if any advanced planning strategies should be employed. Joseph D.
