Criticism, potshots fl y, but Malden Mayor Christenson & Everett Mayor DeMaria spend their time trying to ease adverse effect on local riders By Steve Freker t is easy to throw rocks when you do not have to go pick them up afterward. MBTA offi cials do not have either option. Tasked with being a key provider of everyday, inexpensive transportation for over 500,000 commuters and others on varying forms of ridership, MBTA employees do not have the time to listen very hard – they are too busy working. For quite some time now, the MBTA has drawn a lot of attention for a lot of reasons – I not much of it positive. Some of the images on televised news or print and online reports have been jarring and disturbing. • A woman jumping out of a burning Orange Line train car and off a bridge into the Mystic River below • Another day, another fi re this week when a bus caught fi re in a maintenance facility • A man died in April after being stuck in the doors of the Red Line and then dragged to his death • Several high-profi le derailments in the past 12 months ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $3.879 Mid Unleaded $4.359 Super $4.739 Diesel Fuel $4.649 44 Years of Excellence!! 1978-2022 KERO $8.99 DEF $4.75 9 DYED ULS $4.149 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

So grim that a major federal agency, the Federal Transit Administration, began a major safety audit of the entire MBTA system, releasing some of its fi ndings recently. An unsafe MBTA with potentially failing infrastructure is unacceptable to everyone who rides in the system. When a federal agency questions specific safety aspects and insists on a response, the MBTA must answer. The response, announced by Governor Charlie Baker and top “T” offi cials at a news conference at Medford’s Orange Line Wellington Station last week, was both unique and historic. It was also quite scary to the 200,000-plus riders of the over 120-year-old Orange Line – which stretches north to the fi nal stop at Oak Grove Station on the Malden-Melrose line, and south to Forest Hills Station in Jamaica Plain. Gov. Baker announced the MBTA would be completely shutting down the Orange Line... from midnight Friday, August 19 through September 19 – a full month! Badly needed track and safety light repairs were coming, and the decision was made to have full, unimpeded access to both lines from Carlo DeMaria Everett Mayor Gary Christenson Malden Mayor August 19–September 19, rather than shut it down for months of weekends and do the repairs on a more piecemeal basis. Immediately, the strongly worded expressions of dismay and outrage poured in. Locally? A much more pragmatic and measured response from the two Mayors whose communities will be most heavily aff ected by the Orange Line shutdown: Malden’s Gary Christenson and Everett’s Carlo DeMaria. Of course, they were dismayed by the stunning news about the Orange Line. How could they not be?

Vaccination is free and no ID or health insurance is required. A list of clinics can be found at www. mass.gov/KidsClinic. “We want to give kids the best protection as they return to school, so they are less likely to get sick and have to miss classes and activities,” said Public Health Commissioner Margret Cooke. “We hope these convenient, all-ages clinics make it easier for families to get their children vaccinated and keep them safe.” The CDC recommends that children ages 6 months to 17 years old receive a COVID-19 vaccination and that everyone 5 years and older receive a booster. Two boosters are recommended for anyone who is 50 or older or immunocompromised. The City of Everett is among many local partners working with the state’s Vaccine Equity Initiative to share information about the COVID-19 vaccine and increase access to vaccinations. To date, more than 5.4 million people in Massachusetts are now fully vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines and boosters have been rigorously tested and proven to be safe and eff ective by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, providing protection from the virus and preventing serious illness.

Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 19 2022 School Sports and other extracurricular activities remain best bargain in the entire municipal budget As a new school year nears, the value of these programs which complement academics is clear C all it fi scal effi ciency, value-based fi nances or the good, old-fashioned action cliché: “most bang for the buck.” But a truer statement is not often said than this, borrowed from the National Federation of State High School Associations’ (NFHS) “The Case of High School Activities”: High school activity programs – vital programs such as Sports, Music, Speech, Theater and Debate – are one of today’s best bargains. At a cost of only one to three percent (or even less than one percent in many cases) of an overall school’s budget, funding of high school activity programs produces some of the higher value per dollar of all school/municipal expenditures. It is in these sports and other extracurricular programs where young people learn lifelong lessons that complement the academic lessons taught in the classroom. From a cost standpoint, sports and other activity programs are an exceptional bargain when matched against the overall school district’s education budget. Examinations of various school districts’ budget information across the country reveal that activity programs make up very small percentages of school budgets. In the Advocate readership area’s public school districts of Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus, this is the case, as well, as all four Our 50th Anniversary Dan 1972 R.Y.O.

That is between approximately $520,000 and $785,000 per school. Check out some of the major cities in the nation. Pre-COVID, in the 2019-20 school year, the city of Chicago’s Public School Board of Education’s budget (the second largest U.S. school district) was $6.56 billion; the activity programs’ portion was $17.5 million, just two-tenths of one percent. In the Los Angeles, Calif., Unifi ed School District (the third largest school district in the national), activity programs received $7.3 million of the overall $7.7 billion budget for 2019-20, only one-tenth of one percent! In the Miami– Dade, Fla., School District (the fourth largest school district in the United States), its Board of Education had a 2019-20 overall budget of $5.45 billion, while setting aside $17.7 million for sports and all other activity programs, just over threetenths of one percent. In all of these examples, the budget for school activity programs is less than one percent of the overall district’s budget. Considering the benefits, which are outlined below, at such small proportions of overall school district budgets, school activity programs are one of the most eff ective investments being made in secondary school education programs today. We will go right to the Mission Statement of the NFHS to reiterate the value and importance of participation in athletic and other extracurricular activities by student-athletes, because we know that they are all endorsed by the districts in our readership area. The NFHS states: –We Believe– Student participation in education-based high school athletics and activities: • Is a privilege. • Enriches the educational experience. • Encourages academic SCHOOL SPORTS | SEE PAGE 7 Former Everett High All-Scholastic Jason Maitre parlayed some outstanding athletic ability he honed as a Crimson Tide football All-Scholastic into a Football Scholarship at Boston College.

The closure will continue through Sunday, September 18, with service resuming on Monday, September 19. During the closure, crews will complete multiple projects improving safety, service and reliability more than fi ve years faster than originally planned. The MBTA is applying its experience from the successful accelerations on the Green Line over the last two years providing crews with full, 24-hour access to complete these critical upgrades as the MBTA transforms the Orange Line. Although this period of construction will be disruptive to many, the Capital Transformation team is committed to delivering a safer, more reliable service that all riders can depend on. Amplifying results The MBTA will also perform required track maintenance associated with Federal Transit Association (FTA) directives. Further, the MBTA will maximize the opportunities presented by the closure to amplify results across the Orange Line by improving traction power substations and repairing and inspecting infrastructure to bring critical assets into a state of good repair.

Service Alternatives for Orange Line Riders – Orange Line riders will be able to use several available service alternatives: · Free, accessible shuttle bus service between Oak Grove and Haymarket/Government Center Stations, and between Back Bay/Copley and Forest Hills Stations. · Existing bus and Green Line service within downtown Boston. · Enhanced commuter rail service will be available during these 30 days. Orange Line riders who must commute downtown are strongly encouraged to use the Commuter Rail as an alternative, as the MBTA is making a series of changes in service to accommodate the change in travel patterns. To use the Commuter Rail during the closure, riders can show their CharlieCard or CharlieTicket to conductors to ride in Zones 1A, 1 and 2. Most south-side Needham and Providence Line trains will stop at Forest Hills, Ruggles, Back Bay and South Station. On the north-side, Haverhill Line trains will stop at Oak Grove, Malden Center and North Station. All Commuter Rail stops along the Orange Line are accessible.

During this 30-day shutdown, Orange Line riders who can work from home are strongly encouraged to do so. The MBTA encourages employers with hybrid work policies to allow employees to work from home as much as possible.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. $200,000 FOR RECYCLING CHILD PASSENGER RESTRAINTS (H 5050) House 126-27, Senate 36-3, overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of $200,000 for a pilot program for the recycling of child passenger restraints. In his veto message, Baker said, “I am striking language that earmarks funding for a program not recommended.” Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham) said that “overriding Gov. Baker’s veto of this common-sense pilot program was a no-brainer.” “Reducing landfi ll waste and pollution in Massachusetts requires creative solutions,” said Rausch. “My successful budget amendment to create a statewide car seat recycling pilot program is a win for families and our commonwealth’s climate action goals, creating a way to divert up to 5,000 car seats out of landfi lls and into our recycling stream.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $200,000. A “No” vote is against the $200,000.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes SKATING RINKS (H 5050) House 133-20, Senate 39-0, overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of a provision that requires Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) skating rinks to remain open and staff ed for the full rink season and that ice skating be available from September 1, 2022 to April 15, 2023. The provision also requires the MDC to prepare and submit reports to the House and Senate including the status of hiring for additional staffi ng levels; the staffi ng levels for the previous ten fi scal years; and the average staffi ng level at each park. “I am striking this language because it is not consistent with my … recommendation and the required report is unduly burdensome,” said Baker in his veto message. Supporters of overriding the veto said it is important to keep the rinks open as long as possible for the benefi t of many residents who use them. They noted the required reports will ensure that there are appropriate staffi ng levels at the rinks. (A “Yes” vote is for the rinks remaining open and for requiring the submission of the reports. A “No” vote is against the required rink openings and against requiring the reports.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $125,000 TO MONITOR REFORMS AT BRIDGEWATER STATE HOSPITAL (H 5050) House 131-32, Senate 39-0, overrode the governor’s veto of $125,000 for the Disability Law Center to monitor the effi cacy of service delivery reforms at Bridgewater State Hospital and the Old Colony Correctional Center. The governor also vetoed a section that gives the Department of Corrections the authority to reduce the danger of the spread of COVID-19 in vulnerable inmate populations through the use of furloughs and home confi nement. “I am striking this language because it is not consistent with my … recommendation,” said Gov. Baker in his veto message. Override supporters said Bridgewater State Hospital delivers poor services in some areas of treatment and noted the $125,000 the governor vetoed would ensure that the problems are identifi ed and fi xed. They also noted that the safe reduction of vulnerable inmates in prisons is necessary to reduce the cases of COVID-19. (A “Yes” vote is for the $125,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL – BILLS SIGNED BY GOV. CHARLIE BAKER LEGALIZE SPORTS BETTING (H 5164) – Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a bill that legalizes sports betting on professional and college sports for Massachusetts residents over 21 years old at the state’s casinos, slots parlors, simulcast centers and through mobile platforms. Betting on Massachusetts colleges and universities would not be allowed unless the school is playing in a tournament like March Madness. The betting would be regulated by the Gaming Commission, the same commission that regulates the state’s casino gambling. “Our administration fi rst fi led legislation to legalize sports wagering in the commonwealth several years ago, and I am glad to be able to sign this bill into law today,” Gov. Baker said. “We appreciate the dedication and compromise that the Legislature demonstrated on this issue, and we look forward to supporting the work of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on the responsible implementation of the law over the next several months.” “After a four-year process, sports betting is now legal in Massachusetts,” said sponsor Sen. Eric Lesser (D-Longmeadow). “This new law will give residents new ways to engage with sports, generate new jobs and investment and includes some of the strongest consumer and player safeguards in the country. I’m confi dent this law will be a model for other states, and I look forward to seeing its full implementation in the months ahead.” INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE(S 3097) – Gov. Baker signed into law a bill designed to make mental health care more accessible in the Bay State. Provisions include mandating coverage for an annual mental health wellness exam, comparable to an annual physical; a public awareness campaign on the state’s red fl ag laws that limit access to guns for people at risk of hurting themselves or others; implementation of the nationwide 988 hotline to access 24/7 suicide prevention and behavioral health crisis services; mandating coverage and eliminating prior authorization for mental health acute treatment and stabilization services for adults and children; establishing an Offi ce of Behavioral Health Promotion to coordinate all state initiatives that promote mental, emotional and behavioral health and wellness for residents; and creating an interim licensure level for licensed mental health counselors so that they can be reimbursed by insurance for their services and be eligible for state and federal grant and loan forgiveness programs. “Today I am pleased to sign legislation that expands access to behavioral health services, enhances our understanding of behavioral health challenges and takes steps to ensure our health care system treats mental health the same way we do physical health,” Gov. Baker said. “The COVID-19 pandemic underscored long-standing challenges in this area, which is why our administration has made signifi cant investments to increase access through our Behavioral Health Roadmap. The new law signed today will build on that work and affi rms the shared commitment of our administration, the Legislature and our health care community to better support our residents’ behavioral health needs.” “While Massachusetts has made great strides in expanding health coverage, many families still face barriers to accessing the care they need,” said Amy Rosenthal, executive director at Health Care for All. “This is especially true as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated an already growing behavioral health crisis, especially among young adults and children. The bill also establishes enhanced reporting and monitoring of the behavioral health system and addresses the specifi c needs of children, adolescents and their families. We are pleased that residents will receive the essential care needed to help them thrive at home, in their workplace and in the community.” $11.3 BILLION TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE (H 5151) – The governor signed into law an $11.3 billion transportation and infrastructure package that includes $1.375 billion for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) modernization and $1.27 billion for non-federally aided roads and bridges. Other provisions include $114 milBEACON | SEE PAGE 11
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 19 2022 Page 11 BEACON | FROM PAGE 10 lion for airport improvements; $25 million for municipal road pavement improvements; $20 million for municipalities under the Complete Streets Funding Program; $25.5 million for the Mobility Assistance Program; mandating the MBTA to establish a 3-year safety improvement plan with measurable safety objectives; and directing the MBTA to contract with an independent third-party auditor to conduct annual safety audits. Gov. Baker said the legislation supports significant investments in the state’s roads, bridges, railways, transit agencies and environmental infrastructure, including investments made possible by the historic federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law enacted on November 15, 2021.He noted the legislation represents a crucial next step implementing critical infrastructure investments designed to modernize the state’s transportation network while supporting carbon reduction and resiliency goals. “Overall, this legislation represents a crucial next step implementing critical infrastructure investments designed to modernize the state’s transportation network while supporting carbon reduction and resiliency goal,” said Baker. “[It] also includes funding for initial implementation efforts in support of new East-West passenger rail service. It will also enable us to increase clean energy efforts, including the expansion of our electric vehicle charging infrastructure to facilitate long- distance travel and provide additional convenient charging options.” CLEAN ENERGY AND REDUCED EMISSIONS (H 5060) – Gov. Baker signed into law legislation that would expand the clean energy industry and reduce emissions from the transportation and building sectors across the state with the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Baker said he signed the bill to ensure the Bay State retains its standing as a national leader in securing renewable energy. “However, because the Legislature rejected virtually every meaningful amendment I put forth, this bill does not have the same shared sense of purpose that all previous climate legislation embodied, which is unfortunate,” said Baker. “We all know the commonwealth faces significant challenges in dealing with two existential threats—climate change and housing supply and affordability. This bill does not move Massachusetts in the right direction on housing. And the process by which many provisions in this bill are implemented will determine if this bill will make significant progress toward our climate goals.” “This law builds on existing climate policy and accelerates our transition to local, clean energy, setting us on a course toward a sustainable, healthy future,” said Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund Executive Director Casey Bowers. “Recent heatwaves and drought conditions have made the immediate need to reduce emissions and protect vulnerable communities even clearer.” “This new law takes some great steps on biomass and offshore wind, but it’s sorely lacking when it comes to environmental justice,” said Staci Rubin, Vice President of Environmental Justice at the Conservation Law Foundation. “For too long, these communities have been overburdened and overlooked when it comes to air quality, access to transit and toxic pollution. We need to put a much larger focus on protecting Environmental Justice neighborhoods and phasing out fossil fuels once and for all when the Legislature reconvenes.” Mass Audubon President David O’Neill said, “This new law will propel the commonwealth’s efforts to meet its climate goals by scaling up offshore wind, stepping on the accelerator for more clean cars and clean energy buildings and making sure we create equitable access to the green jobs of the future.” BENEFITS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES (S 3075) – Gov. Baker signed into law legislation that would support military families who relocate to the Bay State by providing career stability for the spouses of service members and education for their children. Provisions include making it easier for military personnel and their spouses who move to the Bay State to get a Massachusetts professional license, if their job requires one, so that they can continue their civilian careers and provide for their families without interruption; requiring the Commissioner of Education to issue a military spouse a valid certificate for teaching if he or she holds a valid teaching license from another state; allowing children of military members to register and enroll in a school district at the same time it is open to the general population by waiving the proof of residency requirement until the student actually begins school; creating a purple-star campus designation for certain schools that are military-kid friendly and show a major commitment to students and families connected to the nation’s military; and requiring that a child or spouse of an active-duty service member in Massachusetts continue to pay the in-state, less expensive tuition rate at state universities even if the service member is assigned to move out of the state. “The [measure] is a truly momenEverett residents named to Tufts University’s Spring 2022 Dean’s List T ufts University recently announced the Dean’s List for the spring 2022 semester.

John Velis (D-Westfield), the Senate Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs. “From supporting our military families in their transition to Massachusetts, to creating new benefits and services for veterans and National Guard members, this law will ensure that Massachusetts continues to lead the nation in taking care of our service members and their families.” “This is a historic bill,” said Major General Gary Keefe, Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard. “This is most likely the most encompassing military and veterans bill passed in the commonwealth in the last century. This bill recognizes both the sacrifice of our military service members, as well as veterans and their families, and it establishes programs that will recruit and retain service members, attract future military missions and continue to provide for our growing veteran population. This bill will make it clear to every state in the republic that Massachusetts is unmatched in its care and support of its military members, veterans, and their families.” MARIJUANA LAWS (S 3096) – Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that makes changes in the cannabis industry including a section that would require the state to put some of its tax and licensing revenue from the sales of marijuana revenue into a newly created Social Equity Trust Fund to provide grants and loans, including forgivable and no-interest loans, designed to assist entrepreneurs and businesses from communities disproportionately harmed by the decades of marijuana prohibition. The measure would also allow municipalities to vote by a local referendum or through a vote of the municipal government for social consumption of marijuana to take place in their community. Supporters explained that opening an average cannabis retail shop can require up to $1.5 million. They noted that since federal cannabis laws prevent these businesses from accessing traditional bank loans, lack of capital can pose an insurmountable barrier. They noted that less than 20 (6 percent) of the 346 marijuana businesses are connected to participants in the Cannabis Control Commission’s current social equity program or economic empowerment entrepreneurs. “I am thrilled to see this legislation become law as we continue to build a budding and more equitable cannabis industry,” said Sen.

Long, hot summer will blend into a busy new school sports year for Everett HS, Malden HS and Revere HS By Steve Freker T he time-honored phrase: “Long, hot summer” comes to mind this week as we come to realize that the high school Fall Season is upon us. We know it has definitely been hot out there most of the past 10 weeks of summer, but we might have to scratch the word “long”. It seems like yesterday that the teams were finishing double-plays on the baseball and softball fi elds, scoring goals in lacrosse or spiking volleyballs. How did the calendar fl ip so quickly? But they will be tossing footballs and running sprints starting today as the fall sports season offi cially gets under way. Football kicks it off with two days of extra conditioning under MIAA guidelines. Golf is also allowed to begin its preseason today under newly-adopted MIAA guidelines. All fall sports follow with their offi cial starts on Monday, August 22, as boys’ and girls’ soccer, cross country, field hockey, golf and girls’ volleyball all get under way. That means that the whistles be blowing, the cones will be positioned and the drills will be percolating at Everett Memorial Stadium for the Everett High Crimson Tide, Malden High’s Macdonald Stadium and Revere High’s Della Russo Stadium today, Today and tomorrow will be conditioning only preseason practices for football, with only helmets allowed to be worn and no contact as teams eye Opening Day, which is just three short weeks away.

Although some members have moved to other cities, when bonding on Cedar Glen Golf Course, in Saugus, it feels like home. “It’s absolutely great; because to me, it’s part of keeping my childhood,” exclaimed Phil Mastrocola, about the milestone. “I never thought we would continue this long; and this is the way we kept together.” The men – 40s-79 years of age – look forward to gathering every Thursday during the summer months. While competitive on the green, they return to supportive buddies when the games are fi nished: lingering in the parking lot over cigars before parting ways, or sharing drinks and dinner at a restaurant a couple times a month. “We’ve been friends since childhood,” said Mastrocola, whose nickname is “Guido.” “Everybody was within two or three streets of each other.” Founded in 1997 by Ricky Tammaro, the league has fi ve of its original members, with a list of 20 golfers eager to join the exclusive group when a spot opens. Before the league was formed, the friends played on a softball team. As the season concludes, the league is preparing for a playagainst the Red Devils at 6:00 p.m. at Chelsea Stadium on Friday, September 23.

Chapter 40A §16. The original proposal, approved by the Planning Board on October 25, 2021, contemplated the construction of two separate, multifamily residential buildings, with Building 1 having a height of 70’ and containing 106 units and Building 2 having a height of 65’ and containing 27 units. The new proposal contemplates an alteration of Building 1 (located at 530 Second Street), removing a story from the building, reducing the height to 60’, reducing the unit count to 84 units, and adding off-street dedicated loading spaces for package delivery and ride-share drop off. Building 2 (located at 535 Second Street) has been approved by both the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals and, therefore, contains no deviations from the original plan. Applicant seeks to amend the Inclusionary Zoning Special Permit to align with the new unit count, proposing that 11 of the units be designated as affordable. 530 Second Street is a parcel of land referenced by Assessor’s Department as K0-07-000001 & K0-07-000002.

For example, if you committed a crime, some of the assets might be vulnerable in order to reimburse the state that may have prosecuted you. A spouse in the context of a divorce would also have marital rights that would allow that spouse to gain access to a portion of the retirement account. The IRS would also have the ability to reach assets in a qualified plan in order to seek recovery for back income taxes.

Also, it is important to note that “inherited” IRA’s are not protection assets.

WITNESS, Hon. Maureen H Monks, First Justice of this Court. Date: August 09, 2022 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE August 19, 2022 igate the effect – if possible – on these residents. Mayor DeMaria began working in similar fashion in Everett. This is how true leaders respond to crises, and Malden and Everett residents are fortunate to have such experienced ones at the helm of their communities. Mayor Christenson and Mayor DeMaria are both members of the Metropolitan Mayors Coalition, a group comprised of representatives “of cities and towns in the urban core of Metro Boston whose leaders gather to exchange information and create solutions for common problems.” Instead of trashing the “T” for their decision, the Coalition had this to say in a joint statement this week: “Choosing to temporarily close the Orange Line for full scale repairs was not a decision that the MBTA made lightly. We hope that this closure will allow the time needed for the comprehensive repairs and upgrades necessary to restore safety, effi ciency, and confi dence in the Orange Line. “Cutting service hurts us all, but it especially hurts people in the communities most impacted by both the pandemic and recent service cuts.” The Metropolitan Mayors Coalition’s full statement also appears in this week’s Advocate. It is not going to be easy or pleasant for anyone who relies on the Orange Line to go to work, visit a relative or to go to classes when high schools and colleges reopen for a new academic year in a couple of weeks. But at least the “T” is doing something comprehensive – and expensive – in an attempt to cure its service ills. It is encouraging to see our cities’ leaders taking the proverbial “bull by the horns” and closely monitoring the situation to try and determine how their constituents are going to get from Point A to Point B as effi ciently and quickly as possible. In a year where the summer feels as if it is passing with the blink of an eye, let us hope this next month of no Orange Line does the same. - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI20P0512EA Estate of: ANTHONY CARMINE MEDUGNO Date of Death: 08/31/2019 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE To all interested persons: A Petition has been filed by Karen M Medugno of Everett, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order that Karen M Medugno of Everett, MA be appointed as Successor Personal Representative(s) of said estate to serve Without Surety on the bond and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.

The technical adjustments in the law allow for communities to pursue social consumption sites if they wish. With the signing of [this bill], we better refl ect the intentions behind the voter referenda and assure an equitable and vibrant homegrown cannabis industry.” The vision of the drafters of the legalization initiative to address the harms of the war on cannabis is now more fully realized,” said Will Luzier, former campaign managerfor the 2016 marijuana legalization campaign. “The pathways to participate in the cannabis industry for those harmed by the war on drugs are clearer and the prospect of social consumption is now reachable. Cities and towns that have skirted the law by overreaching host community agreements will now be properly policed.” $165.5 MILLION TO MODERNIZE THE STATE’S COURTHOUSE AND COURT TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM AND A CHANGE IN GUN LAWS(H 5163) – The governor signed into law a bill providing $165.5 million to modernize the state’s courthouses and technology system. The measure also includes a section dealing with state’s gun laws. Provisions include $95 million to allow courts to go digital; $35 million to ensure the safety of the courts’ employees and guests; and another $35 million for the technological modernization of court administrative operations. Another key provision included is in response to a recent New York Supreme Court decision in the New York State Rifl e and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen that took away local police chiefs of signifi cant discretion about who is allowed to possess and carry a fi rearm. The provision amends Massachusetts law to bring gun licensing provisions into compliance with the court decision and to ensure that individuals seeking a license to carry are fi rst interviewed personally by their local police chief. “This bill authorizes up to $165.5 million in spending, which will enable the Judiciary to address information technology needs through future capital investment plans,” said Gov. Baker. “Specifi cally, this bill supports key investments that will enhance the virtual and physical security infrastructure of court facilities, increase the effi ciency of courts systems, modernize administrative processes, and improve court proceedings for the many stakeholdClean-Outs! We take and dispose from cellars, attics, garages, yards, etc. We also do demolition. Best Prices Call: 781-593-5308 781-321-2499 ers in our justice system.” “When courts do not have proper communication systems, let alone access to a reliable internet connection, it limits the Judiciary’s ability to serve the people,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Judiciary Committee. “I am proud to have advanced this bill which promises to enhance the courts effi ciency. This will improve our residents’ access to justice by providing a more equitable approach to the law, In addition to this historic investment, we also take action to strengthen our gun safety measures, so the commonwealth can continue to be one of the safest places in America.” “The … bill makes a signifi cant fi - nancial investment in critical technology upgrades that are needed to help modernize our state’s court system,” said Rep. Todd Smola (R-Warren). “Providing for digital document management and the electronic fi ling of legal documents and signatures will help streamline administrative operations and ensure that the courts are more user-friendly, open and accessible to the public.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “I will try to explain this without slipping and falling.” ---Senate Ways and Means chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) on the Senate fl oor while debating a measure requiring MDC skating rinks to remain open for the full rink season. “We are committed to supporting childcare providers across the commonwealth who have worked tirelessly to care for children and support Massachusetts’ families. We know that investments in early education and care settings are vital for children and families through providing high-quality early childhood education and out-ofschool time programs in enriching and engaging settings.” ---Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito on The Baker administration awarding $3.9 million in Early Education and Out-of-School Time capital improvement grants to organizations to renovate childcare facilities that serve primarily low-income families. “The best ideas for clean energy often start at the local level. If we want to have cleaner air, healthier communities and a safer future for us and our children, we must transition to 100 percent renewable energy. These cities and towns are showing how to get it done.” --- Ben Hellerstein, state director for the Environment Massachusetts Research and Policy Center on the center’s report that Massachusetts’ cities and towns are taking action to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and transition to clean energy. “If Massachusetts is to remain a desirable place for individuals, families and businesses, then we need to confront the housing crisis together. This law is not a housing production mandate. It is all about setting the table for more transit-oriented housing in the years and decades ahead— which is not just good housing policy, but good climate and transportation policy, too.” --- Transportation Secretary Mike Kennealy releasing the final set of multi-family zoning rules that half of all municipalities in Massachusetts will soon have to meet if they want to preserve their access to important sources of state funding. 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 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 period of August8-12, the House met for a total of 23 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 51 minutes. Mon. Aug. 8 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:18 a.m. Senate 11:11 a.m. to 11:44 a.m. Tues.Aug. 9 No House session No Senate session Wed. Aug. 10 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
