This legislation will ensure our older adults are receiving the highest quality of care through increased oversight of long-term facilities, investments in workforce training, expansion of small house nursing homes, and requirements for infection outbreak response plans and anti-social isolation policies. I am grateful to Chair Stanley, Speaker Mariano, and Chairs Michlewitz and Lawn for their leadership and support of this critical legislation.” “Since even before the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen the critical challenges facing our states nursing home facilities, residents, and workforce,” said Representative Ultrino. “This bill supplements the recent investments made by the Legislature and alleviates some of the pressures facing the longterm care industry by enhancing oversight at facilities, and expanding the workforce and access to quality care. I am excited to see this bill progress through the legislature thanks to the leadership from Speaker Mariano, Chair Stanley and Chair Lawn.” “I commend my House colleagues for taking action in addressing the staffi ng shortages and fi nancial challenges that have burdened long-term care facilities throughout the Commonwealth,” said Representative Donato. “This legislation will work to diversify and expand the workforce within these facilities, all while ensuring the highest quality of care for Massachusetts’ most vulnerable residents.” This legislation responds to several of the recommendations Steven Ultrino State Representative made by the 2020 Nursing Facility Task Force report by: • Providing the Department of Public Health (DPH) with additional tools to monitor and take punitive action against facilities, including new abilities to limit, restrict, suspend or revoke a license for cause and appoint temporary managers • Strengthening DPH’s licensure suitability standards to include a more comprehensive review of the background and legal record of applicants and expanding the scope of review to include any entity with at least fi ve percent ownership interest in a nursing facility • Creating new initiatives to support and grow the workforce, such workforce training grants to develop new Certifi ed Nursing Assistants (CNAs), career ladder program grants, and leadership and supervisory training The bill also addresses workforce challenges facing longterm care facilities by authorizing direct care workers, including CNAs, to obtain a certifi cation to administer non-narcotic medications to long-term care facility residents under the supervision of a licensed nurse or physician. The training curriculum and standards for certifi ed medication aides will be established by the DPH, in consultation with the Board of Registration in Nursing, and will require at least 60 hours of training and will help long-term care facilities to satisfy proposed new federal staffi ng requirements.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 22, 2023 Page 5 Sen. Lewis supports passage of bill to lower prescription drug costs S tate Senator Jason Lewis joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts Senate to unanimously pass An Act relative to pharmaceutical access, costs and transparency – is also known as the PACT Act. This legislation makes much-needed reforms to improve oversight of the pharmaceutical industry and lower the cost of essential drugs for patients. “Working to expand access to quality, affordable healthcare has always been one of my top priorities in the legislature,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m proud to support this critical legislation that makes life-saving drugs more aff ordable and accessible for patients, and holds pharmaceutical companies, insurers, and pharmacy benefi t managers more accountable for their actions.” This comprehensive pharmaceutical bill includes provisions to: • Lower costs for life-saving medications by off ering immediate price relief and limiting out-of-pocket spending for preState Senator Jason Lewis scription drugs used to treat diabetes, asthma and chronic heart conditions, and ensure that a patient purchasing a prescription drug is not charged a cost-sharing amount, such as a co-pay, if it would be cheaper for the patient to purchase the drug without using insurance. • Increase access for patients to use their preferred pharmacy by allowing independent pharmacists the opportunity to become licensed to dispense specialty medications, and allow any network pharmacy to contract with carriers to provide mail-order prescriptions. • Hold drug companies accountable by directing the state’s Health Policy Commission to establish a process for identifying unreasonably high drug prices that create access barriers for patients to essential medicines, and assess a penalty fee on pharmaceutical manufacturers that fail to comply with this process. • Expand oversight of Pharmacy Benefi t Managers (PBMs) by authorizing the state Division of Insurance to license and regulate PBMs, which play a major role in determining how prescription drugs are tiered and priced on insurance plans. The Massachusetts Senate has previously passed earlier versions of this bill, but they were not taken up by the Massachusetts House of Representatives. This latest version of the PACT Act now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration. CONCERT | FROM PAGE 3 ers to wintry scenes with evocative English lyrics. The lively “Je veux vivre” from Gounod’s “Romeo et Juliette,” sung in French, captures youthful joy and romance. Other pieces like the Spanish “El Molondrón” and the Italian “Flower Duet” from “Lakmé” sparkle with seasonal charm. Suzini will also perform “Melodia Sentimental” by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. The concert will conclude on a high note with gorgeous duets full of harmony and cheer, including the French Barcarolle from “The Tales of Hoff mann.” Through these special selections in diverse languages, Suzini, Sticco and pianist Ke Xin Tian perfectly capture the spirit, emotions and sights of the winter season. The Friends of the Malden Public Library and members of the Malden Historical Society are delighted to present this musical gift celebrating Malden’s cultural richness.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 22, 2023 ~ Malden Musings ~ “Dorothy Levine Muses” By Peter Levine O n rare occasions you stumble upon something on Facebook that is actually interesting. On rare occasions a post takes your breath away. My niece Dorothy recently gobsmacked me with such a heartfelt, poignant message that after reading it I said to myself, damn; I wish I could write like that! My niece Dorothy is a very special person. If you know her, you get it. Heart as big as the whole outdoors – a direct result of having parents who also possess the same altruistic qualities. In her missive Dorothy breaks down the race, the age, the socioeconomic life dynamic in simple, easy to understand language. Dorothy, much like her cousins, Jeri, Toni and Anthony (Scibelli), are what make Malden such a remarkable place to live; all contributing, both big and small, without requiring the spotlight or self-congratulations. Here we have something extra special, which my late friend Jimmy Damiano would be sure to remark, “Peter, if you could write like Dorothy, I would read you more often!” Without further ado: “Sometimes I worry that we won’t have as much as an impact on a kid’s life because they don’t look like us, but everyday these kids take away my worries. 15-year-old James (Hyppolite) who is sitting with my dad (in this picture) says at least once a week ‘I want to be like Joe Levine when I grow up because he is the most well-respected man in the entire city of Malden.’ The last time James said that to me Lawrence A.

And James responded by saying ‘I don’t look at Joe as an old(er) white man, I look at him as a man who respects everyone including us kids and adults. He talks to us with respect and treats us all like his family, that’s why I want to be like him.’ Just proves anyone can have a positive impact on a kid’s life no matter what gender or race you are.” James Hyppolite is not new to this column. Young James has been featured in the past, and I will continue to follow him through this thing we call life. Updating Maldonians on his journey as he completes high school, and beyond. Keep up the good work, Mr. Hyppolite! It is said in “Malden Musings”... • I heard “Train” by the James Montgomery Blues Band on WMEX (1510 AM) last week. Brought me back to my first concert; 1972, James Montgomery with Peter (MHS 1974) Myle’s first band “Asylum” opening at the Jenkins Auditorium. I remember very little about that night. Schlitz in cans were consumed. Lots of weed was smoked (not by me!). Both bands blew the roof off the old barn! And we finished the night at Signor Pizza in the Square. The movie “Dazed and Confused” could have been conceived that evening. • A renowned local poet, Presley Street’s own David Surette (MHS 1975), has two readings in the area this month: November 26 at The Gallery@57 in Malden Square and November 30 at the library on Salem Street.

Insert smiley face. • He is a living legend (not self-proclaimed, btw), and from the few times I have heard him speak I believe he would indeed be embarrassed I have called him that. He is Bill Dempsey, and we are not! Memorialized last week in his hometown of “Linden on the Saugus Branch” and fawned over in The Boston Globe on the same day, Bill Dempsey took it all in modest stride. Bill shined this morning, and you know what? Bill ain’t shy and he is very sharp! Insert smiley face. And I was fortunate to witness it all. More on Bill in the following weeks. • Martin Luther King, 1963 – 60 years later, words that still resonate loudly today: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Throwback Thursday on Friday...If you are a Maldonian of a certain age and were a fan of local rock music back in the day then you are familiar with Boston rock n roll survivor/singer of songs/cult hero Rick Berlin. Rick has been an icon in Boston music/art circles since the early 1970s when he burst on the scene with his groundbreaking ensemble, Orchestra Luna. Just as importantly, Rick has been a mentor to many local musicians and artists, including (quite) a few in Malden: Gary, Greg and Mark Cherone, Matt McKay, Frank Herrera, Phil Bynoe and Charlie Farren to name but a few. Gary (Cherone) of Extreme fame especially owes a great deal to Rick for his sage advice and guidance back in the day when Gary was first starting out (1979) in the competitive Boston rock scene. Rick was honored recently at the Paradise on Comm. Ave. in Boston. Here are Rick’s thoughts on the night: “An honor to be invited to Jim Sullivan’s book release party at the Paradise last night. What was so terrific about it was the electricity in the room. The fierce, joyous bonding, laughter, reminiscing, and heartfelt interactions between so many of the main characters from Boston’s awesome rock n roll past life and loves. Writers, musicians, radio jock stars. They still have it. The power and connection to help make what happens in this town musically.” “Those writers and ’BCN personalities changed the country, even the planet, with the hot ire that was that station and that paper (The Boston Phoenix) back in the day, back before corporate radio and weakening arts sections dulled our ears and eyes. They could still erupt, these stalwart rebels, and light song fires under the rears of the uninitiated. If given the chance. I loved seeing ‘em. Nothing deadin-the-water about it. And Jim’s book(s) were why all were there. “As a last-minute inspiration, I hurried back to the ‘Dise and gave Jim MY damn book. Joan Anderman telling him that ‘it’s a really good book,’ and edited by none other than James Sullivan! So yeah, Berlin is proud. (No selfies or big-time name drops, btw. Too many to count or brag.)” As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – answer: Someone who will represent MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 7

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 22, 2023 Page 7 MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 EVERYONE. Question: What are Malden residents looking for in a mayor? There is no doubt that Mayor Christenson had a strong opponent in Lissette Alvarado. A prior member of President Obama’s White House Team, Harvard educated and supported heavily by a sitting Councillor-at-Large, a current Councillor and a former Councillor, Alvarado provided Malden residents a strong option. In the end, despite infl uential supporters, even in a day when politics seem so partisan, so divided (even locally) Malden residents sent a clear-cut message FOOTBALL | FROM PAGE 1 (football, basketball, track). “No matter how the season has gone, everyone puts everything on the line for the Thanksgiving game against Medford.” There is some history in the making in this game as well. With a victory, Malden Coach Exilhomme could be the fi rst Tornado head coach in many years – maybe ever – to win his fi rst three consecutive Thanksgiving games. Also, with a win on Thursday, Malden will set a new series record with eight straight Thanksgiving Day wins. Right now, Malden has won every Thanksgiving Day since 2017, equaling the previous seven straight mark from 2007-2013. A win would also tie the series’ overall win streak record of eight straight series wins set by Medford from 1994-2001. Malden has dominated since 2000, going 18-5 in the third century of this ancient game. Medford is coming off a 21-0 shutout loss to defending Division 4 Super Bowl Champion Wakefi eld.

Malden said they wanted steady leadership. Malden showed once again the voters know more than many people think. Postscript 1: Today I am thinking of my mom’s Thanksgiving Day feasts! My mother, Dorothy Drago Levine, left us in 2015. But never really left us. That hole which appeared in our scored nearly every touchdown this season for Medford, which has seen a bit of a rebirth of their offense, averaging just under three touchdowns a game. Malden has been saddled with a long list of injuries this season, the most notable being the loss of junior go-to running back Kevin Exilhomme, arguably the team’s best player, in the fi rst half of the season opener, a loss on the road to non-leaguer Lynn Tech. Exilhomme, brother of the head coach, was lost for the season with a broken collarbone. Ironically, Kevin Exilhomme was the star of last year’s game, a 3415 Malden win at Fenway Park in Boston in Game #135, scoring three touchdowns, including running back the game-opening kickoff 72 yards for a score. Heading into Thanksgiving Day, Malden is led by senior captain Gabriel Vargas Cardoso, a 6-5 split end and leading receiver and scorer (seven touchdowns); senior 6-3, 280 captain and two-way lineman Jerell Calixte; senior off ensive guard and linebacker Karl Lange; and junior captains James Hyppolite, a 6-0, 200 linebacker, and Matt Brito, a 5-10, 180 running back.

Postscript 2: Speaking of my mom...she once asked me how I remembered so much of the “expletive deleted” I wrote about. A quote by humorist Irvin S. Cobb of The Washington Post sums it up best: “A good storyteller is a Da Costa, a three-year starter who is one of the leading tacklers in the state – over 100 for the year and in reach of the school record of 121. Malden has used two starting quarterbacks this season: returning junior Aidan Brett and freshman Ryan Bowdridge. Both are expected to see action in Thursday’s game. Malden Coach Exilhomme said the game plan for Thanksgiving is to keep possession of the ball off ensively and lock down any “big play” potential for Head Coach John Curley’s Mustangs. “If we have possession of the ball, they can’t run any plays, it’s as simple as that,” Coach Exilhomme said. “We expect them to rely on their running game and know we have to tackle and not let them have that big run or other big play.” Malden is coming off perhaps its best game of the year, a 26-20 win over visiting Boston Latin School at home Nov. 9. The Tornados had no turnovers and played well in all three phases of the game. “We have to repeat that type of eff ort and more,” Coach Exilhomme said. “We are expecting a solid eff ort from our players and we will be giving it everything we have to get the win.” December 20, 6 p.m. – Creating a Marketing Plan & Brief Sign up at https://tinyurl. com/4842xzsp Important Schedule Note for Evening Meetings Due to Thanksgiving, we’re hosting a meeting on Wednesday, November 29 (fi fth Wednesday), instead of on Wednesday, November 22 (the fourth Wednesday).

Head Coach Joe Pappagallo, who had steered Malden to a dramatic win over Everett (first time since 1992) two weeks earlier, retired after seven years at the helm and a 6-1 coaching record on Thanksgiving Day. **** TIE @ #8— MALDEN 26, MEDFORD 6 (November 27, 1969): In a scene out of a movie script, senior co-captain Dave Moulton – sidelined with 60 stitches in his head after an automobile accident the night before the game – comes off the bench in the second half and scores two touchdowns to lead Malden to a 26-6 win over Medford, earning a share of the GBL title with Quincy. Malden had trailed, 6-0, at the half, with Moulton relegated to the sidelines in street clothes. In a scene we assure you would never be replicated today, “Moultie” convinced legendary Malden coach Bill Tighe to let him on the field and he led his team to a win, complete with bloody bandages at the end of the game. And MALDEN 34, MEDFORD 15 (November 22, 2022): This is only one of two games in this compilation where the Malden win over Medford did not end in either an undefeated Malden season, a Greater Boston League Championship – or both. But hey, let’s face it, they played the game at “Friendly Fenway” for Game #135 in the most iconic baseball park in the world – and BIG GAME: When Malden defeated Medford in 1948, it secured a spot in the National Championship game where they defeated Robert E. Lee High School in the Gator Bowl, 14-0. (Courtesy Photo) HALL of FAMERS: Former longtime Malden High football Head Coach Paul Finn (at right) coached in more Malden-Medford games than anyone else in history: from 1973-1998. In the 1980s, he had the pleasure of coaching three Hall of Fame quarterbacks – all from the “Air Finn” 1980s – pictured from left to right: Chuck Borstel (1986), Billy Roderick (1987) and Steve Monaco (1983, 1984, 1985). (Advocate Photo/Steve Freker) Malden won! The stars of the game were sophomore running back Kevin Exilhomme and junior safety Felix Junior Da Costa. Exilhomme, brother of second-year Malden Head Coach Witche Exilhomme, scored three touchdowns on 29 carries for 81 yards, including a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown to open the game. Da Costa returned his third fumble for TD of the season and also had a key interception to stop a Medford drive when the game got close in the fourth quarter. Malden’s seventh straight Turkey Day win tied a series streak record. **** #7— MALDEN 19, MEDFORD 14 (November 28, 1955): Dom Fermano was no stranger to Thanksgiving Day exploits, having scored twice in a Malden win over Medford as a star junior one year previously. In his senior season, with the game and the GBL Championship on the line, Malden trailed, 14-13, with under three minutes to play – not for long. Fermano took a pitch, found some space and raced 40 yards for a Tornado touchdown, electrifying the crowd and giving Malden the winning points – and the GBL title, with a 19-14 victory. **** #6— MALDEN 19, MEDFORD 0 (November 22, 1951): For only the second time in series history, both teams came into the game unbeaten. Malden, at 7-0-1, was not in the running for either a league or Class A State Title. Medford, at 8-0, would share the Class A State Championship and Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/ Advocate.news.ma league crown with Weymouth, if the Mustangs prevailed. Malden sent the Mustangs home empty-handed, no longer unbeaten, with a decisive, 19-0 victory. Malden finished with its last undefeated season at 8-0-1, and Weymouth won the league and Class A titles by winning its Thanksgiving game over, get this, Greenfield, Vermont, clinching a perfect 9-0 finish, its 37th straight win, spanning four years. **** TIE @ #5— MALDEN 12, MEDFORD 2 (November 26, 1931): A 12-2 win over Medford finishes Malden with its second unbeaten season (9-01) and Class A State Co-Championship in three years. Touchdowns by Sam Pashoian and Lloyd Tupper led the way. And MALDEN 0, MEDFORD 0 (November 28, 1935): Defensive purists exult! The punting and the leg of Malden’s “Chuckin” Charlie O’Rourke, one of the best quarterbacks to ever wear the Blue and Gold – not his golden arm – and that of Medford Captain Art Wareham dominate in a battle of lines in a 0-0 scoreless tie, the second straight in the series that enables Malden to finish unbeaten (8-0-1) and win the Eastern Mass. Class A State title. **** #4— MALDEN 28, MEDFORD 0 (November 26, 1987): Who knew that the series would have the longevity it did possess, all the way up to 100 games? Malden-Medford celebrated in grand style, with commemorative program books and rings for all the participants and Malden capped one of its best seasons in school history with a 28-0 shutout win, its eighth straight after an Opening Day loss to Melrose, at breezy Hormel Stadium. Malden drove to an undefeated (8-0) Greater Boston League Championship, its first in 12 years, and its best record (9-1) in over 30 years. The game drew a huge crowd and included national television coverage by sports commentator Bob Costas. A pregame pep talk to Malden by former Tornado legend Dave Moulton appeared on national TV that day. Lawrence Hicks ran for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns. Bill Roderick passed for 152 yards, including a 46-yard toss to Carmine Cappuccio. Roderick also scored a TD and J.P. Kelley had an interception for Malden. **** #3— MALDEN 6, MEDFORD 0 (November 28, 1929): With both teams coming into the game undefeated, an all-time series record crowd of 18,500 inside the fence and an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 outside saw Malden Captain Sam Fishman led the Golden Tornados to an unbeaten season (9-0-1) and a share of the Eastern Mass. title by returning a punt 55 yards for the only score of the game as Medford (7-1-0) fell by a 6-0 score. Coming just two weeks after the Stock Market Crash, which signaled the start of the Great Depression, this win lifted football fans’ spirits. **** #2— MALDEN 35, MEDFORD 0 (November 24, 1910): Six different players scored as Malden clinched State and Suburban League titles with its 13th straight victory, 35-0. Malden finished with its best – most wins, only undefeated, untied (13-0-0) – season in school history and went on to beat Providence (R.I.) Tech, 29-8, in a postseason game at Bryant Street Park in Malden. **** #1— MALDEN 33, MEDFORD 14 (November 25, 1948): Dan Duggan scores twice and leads ’Gator bowl-bound Malden to a 33-14 win, an unbeaten 9-0-1 record and Class A State Championship in front of a crowd of 12,983 at Municipal Stadium in Malden. The Golden Tornado squad, led by legendary Head Coach Warren McGuirk, would go on to be crowned “National Champs” in the Kiwanis charity game after blanking Robert E. Lee HS, 140, in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., Malden’s only football appearance – ever – in a game of this stature.

Trim the turkey and your bills this Thanksgiving with energy efficient cooking tips T he Sponsors of Mass Save® are sharing 12 tips for a safe, energy efficient Thanksgiving Day. Give your oven some lovin’: • Don’t preheat your oven longer than you need to. Having an empty oven turned on wastes energy. • Cooking a smaller turkey or side dishes simultaneously will not only help you save time, but it will also save energy. • Make the most of the additional heat coming from the oven and adjust the thermostat a few degrees lower than normal when cooking or hosting to help keep guests warm. • Avoid opening the oven door and peeking while cooking. Heat escapes when the door is opened. Use the right cookware: • If possible, use flat-bottomed pots and pans to maintain better contact with burners. • Try using copper or copper-bottom pots and pans, as they heat up faster than stainless steel. • For bakeware, try ceramic or glass instead of a metal dish to retain more heat. • Size matters: Match the burner size to the size of the pot or pan to ensure maximum heat is applied and prevent excess heat from being used.

LONG TERM CARE CHANGES (H 4178) House 158-0, approved and FANTASTIC WIN AT FENWAY: The Malden High Football Team and coaches celebrated the big win over Medford at Fenway Park in 2022. (Advocate Photo) sent to the Senate legislation that supporters say will “take a comprehensive approach towards reforming the long-term care industry by supporting and expanding the workforce, enhancing oversight of facilities and ensuring greater access, all while prioritizing quality of care.” Rep. Tom Stanley (D-Waltham), House chair of the Committee on Elder Affairs, said “the comprehensive measure is a major step toward enhancing the standards and care within the long-term care industry.” “Building upon past successes and allocations, including significant funding for caregiver shortages and nursing home rate increases, this bill marks a pivotal step in the ongoing enhancement of long-term care in the commonwealth,” continued Stanley. “It is our collective effort to ensure the highest standards of care and access for all individuals in TORNADOS CELEBRATE: Pictured from left to right – with Fenway Park’s famous “Green Monster” in the background – front row: junior Davian McGuffie, assistant coach Wiston Jeune, junior captain Gabriel Vargas Cardoso, junior Alex Avalos; Back row: senior captain Andrew Louis, assistant coach James Brito-White, sophomore captain James Hyppolite, senior John Lloyd, junior Felix Junior Da Costa and sophomore Mateus Brito.

Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes $2.81 BILLION FISCAL 2023 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (S 2502) Senate 36-3, approved a $2.81 billion supplemental budget to close out the books for fiscal year 2023. Provisionsinclude $2.1 billion for MassHealth to cover end of year deficiencies; $250 million for emergency housing; $75 million for school districts impacted by special education tuition rate increases; $15 million for disaster relief for municipalities impacted by storms and naturals disasters that occurred in 2023; funding to support collective bargaining agreements; and $500,000 for the Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Youth. According to Senate President Karen Spilka’s office, “The Senate budget stipulates that a portion of the $250 million for emergency housing be spent on community-based, broad, and individualized support services and resources so that individuals and families can address the complex issues and challenges they face, as well as reimbursements to school districts for increased enrollment costs associated with an influx of migrant students. It also authorizes a portion of the $250 million to be spent to address costs associated with sheltering eligible families, as well as creating temporary emergency shelter sites.” “Today the Senate took a bold step forward, and passed a supplemental budget that not only closes the books on fiscal year 2023, but also acts swiftly to meet the challenges of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that BHRC| SEE PAGE 17

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 22, 2023 Page 17 BHRC | FROM PAGE 16 deserves our full attention, care and assistance,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “In addition, we allocated $378 million to fully fund all ratified Collective Bargaining Agreements, dedicated $15 million for climate change disaster relief and deposited $100 million to fully pay down the pension liability from the 2015 Early Retirement Incentive Program.” “I voted ‘no’ on the $250 million that the Healey Administration requested for the migrant crisis," said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton)."If we continue on this path, it will cost taxpayers $1.2 billion this year alone with no end in sight. This will place substantial stress on other social safety net programs intended for Massachusetts residents.” The House has already approved a different version of the budget and a conference committee will eventually hammer out a compromise version. (A “Yes” vote is for the supplemental budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT (S 2502) Senate 3-36, rejected an amendment that would amend the state’s Right to Shelter Law which requires the state to provide shelter and other necessities to homeless parents with young children, pregnant women and recently the many migrant families arriving in the Bay State. Homeless individuals are not covered by the Right to Shelter law. The amendment would require that people provide proof that they have lived in the state for at least one year to qualify for the program. It also exempts from the requirement a victim of domestic violence or a person whose living situation has been affected by a fire or other natural disaster that occurred in Massachusetts. Amendment supporters said the current interpretation of residency in Massachusetts by the Healey administration is that the person can be in the state for a matter of minutes to qualify to get services. “During today’s Senate session I proposed an amendment that would restore the residency requirement for the emergency shelter program here in Massachusetts,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman. “Unfortunately, the amendment was not adopted in the Senate. If we continue on this path and do not modify the state’s Right-to-Shelter Law, it will cost taxpayers $1.2 billion this year alone with no end in sight, placing substantial stress on other social safety net programs intended for Massachusetts residents.” “While apparently intended to address the migrant issue, the amendment, in my view, called for broader changes to a program that has been in place helping people for decades,” said opponent Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy). “Such changes to a statute I believe need greater review than what the amendment process provided. Further, an amendment filed by Sen. Velis, which was adopted unanimously, provides an opportunity for that review.” (A “Yes” vote is for the 1-year requirement. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No PHARMACEUTICAL ACCESS, COSTS AND TRANSPARENCY (S 2499) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that supporters say would make major changes and reforms to the state’s pharmaceutical system by “lowering the cost of drugs at the pharmacy counter and improving oversight of the pharmaceutical industry.” “The Senate has made pharmaceutical cost containment and oversight a priority for a long time, and I’m proud that we’ve had the opportunity to pass this bill in three consecutive sessions, improving it as we learn more and more about the industry,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “While we are supportive of the work of the pharmaceutical industry, we also know that far too many Massachusetts residents are struggling to access life saving, essential medication due to outrageous and skyrocketing costs. [This legislation] will provide necessary transparency and oversight measures, so that consumers can trust that this system is putting patients and their health before profits.” “I am pleased the Senate has passed this crucial prescription drug legislation,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Healthcare is all about accessibility and affordability, and this reform-minded consumer focused bill will allow increased access to prescription drugs while also considerably driving down the cost of everyday medications.” “Relief from prescription drug costs can’t wait when lives are at stake,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “I look forward to this bill getting signed into law so that residents and seniors who go to the pharmacy counter will finally pay less for the medications they use to stay alive and maintain their quality of life. This reform is in line with the Senate’s commitment to addressing affordability, equity and transparency and maintaining the commonwealth’s competitiveness as a place to live and work.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL 4-DAY WORK WEEK PILOT PROGRAM (H 3849)- The Labor and Workforce Development Committee held a hearing on legislation that would create a voluntary 4-day work week pilot program in the Bay State. Participating employers would transition employees to a 4-day work week without any reduction in pay in return for a tax credit administered by the Department of Revenue. “Americans are overstressed and overworked," said Rep. Dylan Fernandes (D-Falmouth). The data shows that a 4-day work week creates a happier workforce, fuels company productivity and helps businesses attract top talent,” said co-sponsor Rep. Dylan Fernandes (D-Falmouth). “This pilot program studies its efficacy in Massachusetts to determine whether the four-day work week could benefit commonwealth employees and businesses.” “In this era of tight labor markets, we need to get creative to keep our economy growing,” said co-sponsor Rep. Josh Cutler (D-Duxbury), House Chair of the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. “This bill creates new incentives for Massachusetts businesses to explore shifting to a 4-day work week which can offer a myriad of benefits, including boosting worker satisfaction and productivity, and reducing absenteeism and commuting time.” "Our research with hundreds of companies and thousands of workers shows that a 4-day, 32hour week with no reduction in pay not only yields tremendous well-being improvements for workers, but is highly beneficial for companies,” said Professor Juliet Schor, a leading supporter of the measure. “After trialing this model, a mere 6 percent are returning to the 5-day week. [This bill] will put Massachusetts on the map once again leading the nation, as we have done on samesex marriage and climate." PROHIBIT USE OF NATIVE AMERICAN MASCOTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (H 477, S 245) – A bill heard by the Education Committee would prohibit public schools from using an athletic team name, logo or mascot which is associated with Native Americans, or which denigrates any racial, ethnic, gender or religious group. “In the past few years, the nation has seemed to finally come awake and recognize the hurt caused by racist mascots and imagery,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “This bill acknowledges the common humanity of all, corrects historical wrongs and addresses the profound psychological harm caused by perpetuating racist stereotypes — harm caused to both people who are of Native American heritage and those who are not.” “I sponsored [the bill] because of the numerous conversations I’ve had with community leaders that have been doing the work to protect students in the commonwealth from the negative impacts of Native American mascots,” said House sponsor Rep. Brandy Fluker Oakley (D-Mattapan). “We know based on years of research, that these mascots lead to the perpetuation of negative stereotypes and psychological ramifications like lower self-esteem and diminished perceptions of community worth. This bill will prevent students from further psychosocial harm.” RENT CONTROL QUESTION WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE 2024 BALLOT – It’s the end of this year’s campaign to put on the November 2024 ballot a question that would allow cities and towns the right to impose rent control, a practice which voters banned nearly 30 years ago on a 1994 ballot question. Organizers announced that they will fall far short of the 74,574 signatures needed by November 22 to qualify for the ballot. "While this isn't the outcome we hoped for with our petition, I am more confident than ever that if given the opportunity to do so, Massachusetts voters will elect to lift the ban on rent control," said long time rent control advocate Rep. Michael Connolly (D-Cambridge). "At this point, however, it makes sense to focus on Tuesday's Statehouse hearing on rent control bills and other landlord-tenant matters." "Massachusetts property owners and renters should wake up this morning knowing that their futures are better off,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance which opposes rent control. “Rep. Connolly's potential ballot question would have done nothing but make life more expensive and miserable for property owners and renters alike. Rent control does not work, it would only stop new housing development, particularly new affordable multi-family housing and put a complete halt in maintenance and upkeep." In the meantime, the focus now turns to Beacon Hill where the Housing Committee held a hearing last week on several pieces of rent control legislation. "This is not an issue about the market," testified Rep. Sam Montano (D-Jamaica Plain), a sponsor of one of several bills debated at the hearing. "This is not an issue about how we use capitalism. This is an issue about morals. Morally, we need to house people. That's it. Doesn't matter. People need homes, they need a warm place to sleep, they need a place to shower, they need a place to feel safe. And we are failing at providing that for people by allowing landlords to try to charge huge increases year to year and constantly displacing people." "Rent control reduces the supply of housing which drives rents up," said Amir Shahsavari, vice president of the Small Property Owners Association. "It makes it more difficult for owners to keep up with rising operating costs, it leads to disrepair, and it makes it nearly impossible to remove non-complying tenants, not only to the detriment of owners and their properties, but also to the detriment of the other tenants who depend on us to provide them with safe, maintained living spaces." QUOTABLE QUOTES "The MBTA is one of the oldest transit agencies in the country, and while there are a number of contributing factors, it's clear that years of underinvestment have added to the cost of bringing our system back to a state of good repair.” --- MBTA General Manager Phil Eng following the release of the T’s report noting that it would take $24.5 billion to fix nearly two-thirds of all MBTA that assets are not in a state of good repair. “This program invests federal funds to make Massachusetts communities safer and stronger. [It] allows towns and cities to identify their most pressing needs and direct funding to address those challenges. The ability of local public safety leaders to guide funds toward priority safety initiatives encourages a holistic approach to improving safety in communities with diverse needs.” ---Gov. Maura Healey announcing nearly $5 million in federal funds awarded to 130 police departments across the state to address their communities’ unmet public safety priorities. “It’s chilling to learn what some of these toys can do. Smart toys can be useful, fun or educational, but Interacting with some of them can create frightening situations for too many families.” ---R.J. Cross, one of the authors of MASSPIRG Education Fund’s report which warns about the dangers of the smart devices surrounding kids including microphones, cameras, connectivity, location trackers, poor security as well BHRC| SEE PAGE 19

November 22, 2023 REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 HOPKINS, PATRICK MEDLOCK, MELINDA THAPAR, AMIT BUYER2 HOPKINS, JESSICA DIAS, EDILSON G THAPAR, SAMRITI SELLER1 ARNETT, TRINA D 227 CAPITAL GROUP LLC RAMP 2005-RP1 SELLER2 BK OF NY MELLON T CO TR hrive Pet Healthcare, a firstof-its-kind veterinary healthcare network with more than 380 locations in 37 states across the United States, is urging pet owners to prioritize the safety of their furry companions during the holiday season. As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s essential to be aware of the potential dangers associated with certain holiday foods. Dr. Anthony Coronado, Thrive Pet Healthcare’s National Director of Emergency Services and Urgent Care, provides valuable insights to help pet owners safeguard their pets this holiday season. Holiday Foods on the Naughty List: Certain holiday foods can pose significant risks to both dogs and cats. “Cats tend to be more discerning with foods than dogs, but because of their smaller size, even when they ingest small amounts of harmful foods, it can result in a trip to the ER,” said Dr. Coronado. Keep the following holiday foods away from pets: proper disposal of turkey trimmings, including the trussing string, which might attract curious pets and lead to ingestion, potentially causing health issues. • Turkey skin: Consumption of turkey skin can trigger life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas, resulting in enzyme malfunctions that digest the pancreas. • Meat with bones: Sharp bone fragments in meat can cause mouth, stomach and intestinal injuries, potentially leading to life-threatening infections. • Alcohol: Alcohol poisoning symptoms can appear quickly. The higher the alcohol proof, the higher the risk. Be cautious of alcohol-containing foods like rum-soaked cake and raw bread dough with yeast. In addition, dogs and cats often will investigate and sometimes drink glasses of alcoholic beverages that are left unattended at large gatherings. ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ • Raisins, grapes and currants: Found in various holiday treats like fruit cakes, cookies and breads; ingestion can lead to kidney damage or life-threatening kidney failure. • Chocolate: Baking, semisweet and dark chocolate are most harmful. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both toxic to pets. • Onions, garlic and chives: These are common ingredients in holiday dishes. Small amounts can lead to severe health complications, including anemia and organ damage. • Artificial sweeteners: Xylitol can take the place of sugar in some desserts but is toxic to dogs even in small amounts and can cause low blood sugar, seizures and liver failure. Holiday foods on the nice list: Dr. Coronado recommends the following safe food options to share with your pets this holiday season: • Unseasoned, cooked turkey (without skin or bones) • Steamed or mashed sweet potatoes (plain) • Canned pumpkin (not pie mix or seeds) • Unseasoned, grilled or canned salmon (no bones) • Steamed, chopped green beans (plain) Recognizing signs of harmful ingestion: Some of the common symptoms that your pet has ingested something harmful include: • Gastrointestinal issues: vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and abdominal pain. • Behavioral changes: lethargy, depression and weakness. In severe cases, pets might display elevated heart and respiratory rates, pale gums or loss of consciousness. Do not attempt to induce vomiting at home as it can be difficult and unsafe. When to seek veterinary care: Pet owners are advised to act promptly if they witness or suspect their pet has ingested something toxic. Call your veterinarian immediately or Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions. During the week of November 13-17, the House met for a total of 14 hours and five minutes while the Senate met for a total of 23 hours and 29 minutes. Mon.

Page 20 avy n v y y Dear Frustrated, If you want to infl uence your heirs even after you’re gone, an incentive trust is defi nitely an option to consider, but be careful how you construct it because it can cause unintended, unfair consequences. Here’s how it works, along with some tips to help you create one. Incentive Trusts Basics An incentive trust is an estate-planning tool designed to help encourage your heirs in a direction you desire when you’re no longer around. With an incentive trust, some or all of your assets are passed to your trust when you die rather than directly to your heirs. Your trustee is empowered to distribute funds from the trust only if and when your benefi ciaries do whatever it is you have specifi ed in the trust. For example, an incentive trust might encourage a benefi ciary to graduate from college, enter a particular profession, get married or even have children. They could also reward benefi ciaries who do charitable work or supplement the incomes of those who choose low paying, yet meaningful careers like teaching or social work. Or they could penalize benefi ciaries who don’t work by cutting off or decreasing distributions or placing restrictions on heirs with addictions by requiring that payments go directly to rehab centers. But be aware that these types of trusts can also have drawbacks. A poorly constructed incentive trust can have a high risk of unintended consequences. For example, if your trust provides a fi nancial incentive for your children to be employed full-time, but one of them gets sick or seriously injured in a car accident and can’t work, they would be punished unfairly. You also need to know that incentive trusts aren’t cheap. You can expect to pay an attorney $2,500 to $5,000 to draft one. There are also legal limits on what you can do with an incentive trust. While state laws vary, incentive trusts that encourage a benefi ciary to join or leave a particular religion, or leave a spouse or not marry at all, can be challenged in court and possibly struck down. How to Create One To create a solid incentive trust that accomplishes what you envision, you need to hire an estate-planning attorney who will include precise instructions that clearly spells out your wishes. You’ll also want to include language granting your trustee the right to use his or her discretion and that the trustee’s decisions should be fi nal and binding. This allows your trustee to make common sense rulings, which will reduce or eliminate the chances of unintended and unfair consequences. It also makes it very diffi cult for benefi ciaries to successfully challenge the trust or trustee in court. When a trust grants fi nal decision-making authority to its trustee, it becomes almost impossible for benefi ciaries to successfully argue that this trustee is not correctly implementing the trust’s terms. The key is to select a trustee who’s smart enough to interpret your intent and has suffi cient backbone to stand up to benefi ciaries when necessary. You also need to select a successor trustee too if your fi rst choice can no longer serve. Fees paid to a trustee vary widely depending on the state’s fee schedules, the size and complexity of the trust, and conditions laid out in the trust. To fi nd an experienced attorney in your area to help you create an incentive trust, see the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (actec.org).

If you plan to take your pet with you when you travel over the holidays, determine ahead of time where you could take your pet if they need immediate veterinary care.” Veterinary care during the holidays: When seeking veterinary attention for your pet over the holidays, Dr. Coronado recommends: • Advance communication: Contact your local veterinary urgent care or emergency hospital ahead of time. Inform them of the nature of your pet’s emergency and your estimated arrival time. • Patience: Due to increased holiday emergencies, some hospitals might experience longer wait times. Emotions can run high during an emergency. Be patient with the staff. They are doing their best to accommodate everyone.
