DiDomenico, a staunch supporter of firefighters, got hands-on experience at Fire Ops Day Senator highlighted his firefighter pTSD legislation O n September 20, Senator DiDomenico joined the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) Fire Ops event and got hands-on experience as a firefighter. With supervision from the experts, DiDomenico was able to wear fire gear, cut apart a car, extinguish a fire and learn about performing CPR. His partner for the day was Everett Fire Union President/PFFM Legislative Agent Lt. Craig Hardy. DiDomenico supports firefighters through his legislative agenda, advocating to pass legislation to support their mental health. “I have always been an unwavering supporter of Massachusetts firefighters and seeing what they do up close and personal has made me even more grateful for the heroic and dangerous work they do every single day,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “I also want to thank my friend, Craig Hardy, for guiding me through all the steps during the Fire Ops training. Calling firefighters heroes is not enough, we need to put action behind our words and pass bills like my legislation, S.1691, which would support firefighters dealing with PTSD and reduce stigma State Senator Sal DiDomenico (right) is shown with Everett Firefighter Craig Hardy during the recent PFFM Fire Ops event in Boston. State legislators got hands-on experience as a firefighter with the use of training simulators and equipment. (Courtesy photo) around mental health.” Often when there is a tragedy or trauma, firefighters are the first to arrive at the scene, and such continuous exposure to car accidents, house fires and other emergencies can lead to the deterioration of their mental health. In fact, research has shown that repeated and extended exposure to traumatic events triggers Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at a similar rate experienced by military personnel who return from combat. Approximately 20% of firefighters and paramedics meet the criteria for PTSD, compared to the 6.8% lifetime risk of the general population; tragically, studies have shown that people who suffer from PTSD are six times more likely to commit suicide compared to those who do not suffer from PTSD. DiDomenico’s bill, S.1691, State Senator Sal DiDomenico (left) – in full firefighter gear – is shown receiving instructions prior to entering a fire and smoke simulation at a recent Fire Ops event in Boston. (Courtesy photo) and Representative Joe McGonagle’s bill, H.2726, would ensure that PTSD is treated like any other disability and help end the stigma associated with mental health assistance for firefighters. By defining PTSD as a disability and creating a presumption that PTSD was suffered in the line of duty, firefighters can receive the timely and adequate medical care they need to prevent chronic, disabling and potentially life-threatening disorders from developing.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 30, 2022 Page 5 Mass Broadband poised to help Gateway Cities win the future T Advocate Staff Report he Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) issued a much-anticipated request for proposal (RFP) for the Digital Equity Partnership Program last week. Drawing on resources from the state’s new Digital Equity Fund, the program will support several key strategies to close the digital divide, including the following: · Digital literacy training programs to help residents build skills to use digital technologies · Eff orts to distribute computers and other devices to underserved residents · Free Wi-Fi in affordable housing developments · Free Wi-Fi in public spaces, such as libraries, community centers and commercial corridors · Outreach to help residents take advantage of digital literacy training and low-cost internet service plans These funds can go to regional planning agencies, community foundations, public and nonprofi t internet services providers and other nonprofi ts in a position to advance digital equity. Digital equity coalitions or other partnerships with a lead agency may also apply. The Digital Equity Partnership Program aligns closely with the recommendations outlined in the digital equity policy blueprint of the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth (MassINC). With the creation of a Municipal Digital Equity Planning Program, MBI is also advancing the most urgent recommendation in the blueprint. Cities will be able to access skilled consultants to help assess their needs and develop comprehensive digital equity strategies. These plans will then roll up into the state digital equity plan and help determine how Massachusetts allocates the large windfall it will receive for broadband through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The resources MBI will be deploying in the coming months present a transformative opportunity for Gateway Cities. Digital technology has increasingly large implications for education, workforce development, health and well-being and housing and economic development. With these dollars, burgeoning digital equity efforts in several Gateway Cities will be able to expand. Gateway Cities that have yet to develop digital equity strategies can now access funding and support to launch robust eff orts without further delay. The creation of a fellowship program for digital equity is the only near-term MassINC recommendation that MBI has yet to adopt. Three-year fellowship positions modeled on MassDevelopment’s TransTHANK YOU My family and I would like to sincerely thank the people of Everett for their loyal support on Sept.7 Primary Day.

The new volunteers will help the Meal Site Manager in the daily operations of the lunch program, but they are also an important part of providing a warm and friendly atmosphere and a chance for older adults to socialize. “My life has been transformed since attending the dining site. I now have a purpose in life,” said one site visitor, explaining that the program enabled her to re-engage with others and fi nd a community to belong to. Volunteer duties may include setting tables, taking reservations for the meals, food preparation, serving the meal and cleanup. There are many older adults and people with disabilities who rely on this meal site for a nutritionally balanced meal, which for some is the only meal of the day. In addition, the opportunity to interact with volunteers and fellow visitors is invaluable. An hour or two of your time has an impact that is immeasurable. The team at MVES hopes that you will give your time to improve the quality of life of others in the community.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the number of times each representative sided with Gov. Charlie Baker on his 37 vetoes of mostly state budget items in the 2021-2022 session. A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto. In a full 160-member House, the governor needs the support of 54 representatives to sustain a veto when all 160 representatives vote—and fewer votes when some members are absent or a seat is vacant. Baker fell short of that goal as 36 votes was the most support he received on any veto. The By Bob Katzen House easily overrode all 37 vetoes, including six that were overridden unanimously. It was mostly the 27 GOP members who voted with the Republican governor to sustain the vetoes, but no Republican representative voted with Baker 100 percent of the time. The three GOP members who voted wi th Baker the most times are Reps. Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk), 30 times (81.0 percent); Donald Berthiaume (R-Spencer) who voted with Baker 28 times (75.6 percent); and GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading) who voted with Baker 27 times (72.9 percent). The four GOP members who supported Baker the least number of times were Reps. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury) and David Vieira (R-Falmouth) who both voted with Baker only 20 times (54.0 percent); and Reps. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Joseph McKenna (R-Webster) who both voted with Baker only 21 times (56.7 percent). The vetoes had little support among the 125 Democrats in the House. One hundred and fourteen (91.2 percent) of them did not support the governor even once. Of the other eleven Democrats, the three who voted with Baker the most times were Reps. Michael Moran (D-Brighton) who voted with Baker four times (10.8 percent); and Chris Markey (D-Dartmouth) and David Robertson (D-Tewksbury) who both voted with Baker twice (5.4 percent). NUMBER OF TIMES REPRESENTATIVES SUPPORTED GOV. BAKER’S VETOES IN THE 2021-2022 SESSION Gov. Baker vetoed 37 proposals that were approved by the Legislature in 2021-2022. Here is how your representative fared in his or her support of Gov. Baker on the vetoes.

Gaberial Arias, Age 30, of Saugus, was arrested and charged with: Trafficking over 100 grams of a Class A Substance Trafficking Fentanyl (Two Counts) Distribution of Fentanyl (Two Counts) Patrice Debnam, Age 30, of Lynn, was arrested and charged with: Trafficking over 100 grams of a Class A Substance On Monday, Sept 26, at approximately 11 a.m., members of the Winthrop Police Department and the Winthrop Criminal Investigative Unit, in collaboration with the Saugus and Everett Police Departments, executed search warrants for the residence, vehicle and person of Arias in connection with an ongoing investigation. Officers located Arias at a Gulf Gas station in Winthrop, with another individual who was later identified as Debnam, in a white Toyota Corolla operated by Debnam. While conducting a search of Arias, officers located over $500, drug paraphernalia and over 36 grams of what was determined to be fentanyl.

Both men were arrested without incident and taken to the Winthrop Police Station for booking. Officers also conducted a search warrant on Arias’ residence in Saugus, where they located additional drug paraphernalia. Arias was arraigned on Tuesday, Sept. 27 in East Boston District Court, and is being held on $50,000 bail.

They genuinely want to be at the range and at the course every day.

The Tide hammered Somerville to the tune of 42-0 before taking on visiting Lynn English last Friday night, Sept. 23, at Everett Memorial Stadium, where they spun another shutout, 37-0. The home team scored 31 of those points in the first half and then accounted for the final touchdown on the very last play of the game. “The biggest factor for us in [last] Friday night’s win against Lynn English was the play of our offensive and defensive lines,” said DiLoreto. “I felt we controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. It was also very windy, so we needed to run the ball more than we planned to in practice. I’m very proud of our GOLFERS | FROM PAGE 20 sus the Rams. Lynn English then edged Everett, 41-31. Saia (7-2) accounted for another win, this time versus the Bulldogs. The Crimson Tide took on Somerville at Stoneham Oaks on Sept. 28, and then again on Oct. 5 at the same venue. On Oct. 13, they will head to Gannon to face both Lynn Classical and Lynn English in another tri-match. The annual Greater Boston League Tournament will follow later in October. Field hockey stays in the mix The Everett High School field hockey team currently sits at 2-2. They lost to Waltham (4-1) and Peabody (3-1) but have already beaten Northeast Voke (6-0) and Greater Lowell Tech (11-1). “Despite the final score against Waltham, we had a lot of chances to put the ball in the net, but just missed,” said coach Melissa O’Donnell. “Our defense was on point making great plays and getting the offensive attack with three touchdowns. But he has Marcos Pereira, SeaJae Gaskill, Carlos Cornejo, Ralph Pierre, Nick Raymond, Kevin Ruiz and Dom Papa to thank for opening up the running holes, according to DiLoreto. “Our defensive backfield of Jayden Prophete, Pedro Rodrigues, Jayden Williams, Brian Lamour and David De Souza played very well as a unit to help us secure another shutout,” said DiLoreto. It’s now back to the Catholic Conference for the Tide, when they head to Dorchester Friday night, Sept. 30, to take on the Boston College High School Eagles, starting at 7 p.m. It’s another good tune-up for the playoffs in late October. “BC High is a very talented team. We will need to prepare hard this week on the practice field to bring out our best performance of the year on Friday night,” said DiLoreto. “They are big, physical, play fast and very aggressive. We will do our best to be up for this challenge.” ball out, and they were led by Jessica Colman, Stephany DeSouza, Tianna Allen and Taisha Alexandre. Our first-year goalie Bethy Palacios made great saves to keep us in this game, and she also got a taste of making stops on penalty strokes, coming up with a save on two Waltham chances. Our lone goal was scored by Omar Marshall on a corner assisted by Kaylee Rossi.” Marshall also scored against Peabody. Colman was credited with an assist on the play. “It was another hard-fought game that we just came up short again,” said O’Donnell. Kaylee Rossi paced the attack against Northeast with two goals. Christina Snook and Marshall also tacked on goals. At the other end of the field, Palacios recorded her first varsity shutout. Marshall led the way against Greater Lowell with five goals.

Now, therefore, by the authority granted to the City Council of the City of Everett, Massachusetts to make and amend ordinances: Be it Ordained by the City Council of the City of Everett, Massachusetts that the Revised Ordinances of the City of Everett, Chapter 12, Section 2007 - Prohibition of disposable plastic shopping bags is hereby amended as follows: Section 12-2007(d) is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “April 1, 2022” with the phrase “January 1, 2023”. This ordinance shall take effect upon passage by the City Council and subsequent approval by His Honor the Mayor. A true copy attest Sergio Cornelio, City Clerk September 30, 2022 bill requires vehicle drivers, when passing a vulnerable user, to pass at a safe distance of not less than 3 feet when the motor vehicle is traveling at 30 miles per hour or less, and an additional foot of clearance for every ten miles per hour that the vehicle is traveling above 30 miles per hour. Baker said that the passing distance formula presents enforcement and messaging challenges that would undermine the goal of a clearly understood and enforceable standard. “This bill would establish a sliding scale of passing distances depending on the motor vehicles’ speed, which would be confusing for motorists and difficult to enforce for local police,”said Baker, instead proposing an amendment that would establish a consistent three-foot distance requirement. Other provisions of the measure include establishing a process to lower the default speed limit to 25 mph on state highways and parkways in thickly settled or business districts; requiring higher-visibility mirrors and lateral sideguards on certain state-owned, sta t e - opera ted and state-contracted trucks; and creating a uniform reporting tool for crashes involving a pedestrian or cyclist.. Baker said he supports several pieces of the bill including the requirement that some state vehicles use higher-visibility mirrors and lateral sideguards. As far as the section creating a uniform reporting tool for crashes involving a pedestrian or cyclist Baker said that there already exists an online reporting public-facing platform and the new section is not necessary. The amendments are now before the House for consideration. EDUCATION BILLS SENT TO A STUDY COMMITTEE – Several bills affecting public schools and education were sent to a study committee where bills are rarely actually studied and are essentially defeated. It is a way to kill a proposal without holding a vote on the bill itself. Here are some of the education bills that were sent off to a study committee: COMMISSION ON GEOGRAPHY TEACHING IN SCHOOLS (H 703) – Would create an 8-member commission to study and investigate the status of geography education in public schools and make recommendations on how to improve it. “Expanding geography knowledge is much more than knowing where things are on a map,” said sponsor Rep. Todd Smola (R-Warren) who plans to file the bill again next year. “It helps to improve our understanding of issues at home and around the world. Global issues have a tremendous impact on what happens to us within our own country as well. A greater focus on geography education will work to the benefit of all students in the commonwealth.” “It is always disappointing to see a good bill sent to study,” continued Smola. “I also recognize that the creation of a commission to study any issue is an extensive undertaking that the Legislature takes seriously. The hope is that there is room for expansion in the Massachusetts history and social science frameworks for greater geography education. If we can get there without the need for a legislative study, I am all for it.” TEACH PERSONAL FINANCE IN SCHOOLS (H 578) – Would require the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop and assist in the implementation of curriculum on personal financial literacy to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need BEACON | SEE PAGE 23

The components of the curriculum would include the understanding of loans, borrowing money, interest, credit card debt and online commerce; rights and responsibilities of renting or buying a home; saving, investing and planning for retirement; banking and financial services; balancing a checkbook; state and federal taxes; and charitable giving. Supporters say that schools should teach these practical skills in school because by the time students graduate high school, they do not have this practical knowledge that they will use for the rest of their lives. Sponsor Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer) did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill and its defeat. MEDIA LITERACY(H 688) – Would require the Department of Education to integrate media literacy skills in all health and core curricular content for grades K-12.

Loud Talking Linda Dear Linda, There’s actually a growing number of very good online and app-based hearing tests available that will let your husband check his hearing on his own. These tests are a quick and convenient option for the millions of Americans that have mild to moderate hearing loss but often ignore it, or don’t want to go through the hassle or expense of visiting an audiologist for a hearing exam. Who Should Test? Hearing loss for most people develops gradually over many years of wear and tear, which is the reason many people don’t realize they actually have a hearing problem. Anyone who has difficulty hearing or understanding what people say, especially in noisier environments or over the phone. Or, if you need a higher volume of music or TV than other people, should take a few minutes to test their hearing. Self-Hearing Tests Online and app-based hearing tests can serve as a great screening tool. They are not meant to be a diagnosis, but rather to give you an idea of how bad your hearing loss is and what can be done about it. For most do-it-yourself hearing tests, you’ll be advised to wear ear headphones or earbuds and sit in a quiet spot. You also need to know that there are two diff erent types of tests available. One type is known as pure-tone testing, where tones are played in decreasing volumes to determine your specifi c level of hearing loss. And the other type is known as speech-innoise or digits-in-noise (DIN) where you’ll be asked to identify words, numbers, or phrases amid background noise. Where to Test If your husband uses a smartphone or tablet, two of my favorite app-based hearing tests are the hearWHO app created by the World Health Organization, and the Mimi Hearing Test app. Both apps are free to use and are available through the App Store and Google Play. HearWHO allows users to check their hearing status and monitor it over time using a DIN test, while Mimi uses pure-tone and masked threshold tests to give you a detailed picture of your hearing abilities. There are also a wide variety of online hearing tests your husband can take on a computer. Some top online tests – all off ered by hearing aid manufacturers – for speech-in-noise or DIN tests can be accessed at ReSound (resound.com/en-us/ online-hearing-test) and Mircle Ear (miracle-ear.com/online-hearing-test). And some good online hearing tests for pure-tone testing are available by Signia (signia.net/en/service/ hearing-test); Ergo (eargo. com/hearing-health/hearing-check); and MD Hearing Aid (mdhearingaid.com/hearing-test). All of these hearing tests are completely free to use and take less than fi ve minutes to complete. What to do with Results If the tests indicate your husband has hearing loss, it’s best to think of that as a starting point. He should take results to his doctor or an audiologist for further evaluation. Many insurance providers and Medicare Advantage plans cover routine hearing exams, however original Medicare does not. If his hearing loss is mild to moderate, he should look into the new over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, which are available this fall online and at retailers like Best Buy, Walgreens and CVS. OTC hearing aids don’t require a prescription or medical examination for purchase and they’re much more affordable than traditional hearing aids you buy through an audiologist or a licensed hearing instrument specialist.

Over 1.6million taxpayers have already received late filing penalty notices and many have already paid the balances due. The IRS expects to issue refund checks approximating $1.2 billion. The abatement of penalties will be automatic. Taxpayers are not required to request abatement of these penalties. The IRS should have made payment of these refunds to taxpayers by the end of September. The IRS has been so backed up since the pandemic, don’t be surprised if they send out checks well into October or even November. All 2019 and 2020 tax returns will need to be fi led by September 30, 2022 in order to receive the relief from the failure to fi le penalties. This relief granted by the Internal Revenue Service is intended to help struggling taxpayers that were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to allow it to focus on processing the millions of tax returns that have not been processed as well as millions of taxpayer correspondence letters received by the IRS. The IRS is hoping to return back to normal for the 2023 tax fi ling season. It has been next to impossible to reach the IRS by phone. Even the Priority Hotline dedicated to CPA’s and enrolled BEACON | FROM PAGE 23 Suppor ters say the media has grown and expanded in many directions and students should be well educated on its many aspects. Sponsor Rep. David Rogers (D-Cambridge) did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill and its defeat. REQUIRE STUDENTS agents has been nearly impossible to get through to over the past two years. The types of tax returns eligible for relief would be Form 1040, 1041, 1120, 1120-S, 1065, 990, 990-PF, 990-T and several others. Another reason for the penalty relief is that additions to tax or penalties for failure to timely fi le returns continued to accrue during periods of postponed filing dates for both 2019 and 2020 under the presidential emergency declaration in March of 2020 in response to the pandemic. The AICPA and other groups and fi rms have repeatedly advocated that the IRS provide failure to fi le and other penalty relief under procedures similar to those for a first-time abatement administrative waiver, but based upon the COVID-19 pandemic as reasonable cause for the failure.

TO DISCLOSE WHY THEY CHOOSE TO GO TO A SCHOOL OUTSIDE THEIR CITY OR TOWN (H 704) – Under current law, students can request, under the inter-district school choice program, that they be allowed to attend a school outside of where they live. Participation in the program is limited to 2 percent of all public school students enrolled.Each district decides whether it will participate in this program. For the 2021-2022 school year, 170 or 53 percent of Massachusetts’ total districts chose to participate in the program. Tuition is paid by the sending district to the receiving district. The bill would require these students and their parents or guardians to meet with the school’s administrators to discuss the reasons for wanting to leave the district.

Beacon Hi l l Rol l Cal l tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brieflength 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.
