RE REVERE E E V R Vol. 29, No.8 -FREEREE D Dear Family, Friends and Neighbors: It is with mixed emotions that I announce I have decided to not seek re-election to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in the fall of 2020. I have given it a lot of thought, and have not come to this decision lightly. I fi rst started working in the State House thirty-one years ago. When I began my career in public service, Ronald Reagan was President, a gallon of gas was $1.12 and the medium household income was $37,000. As a legislative staff er in 1989, I never envisioned that twentyfi ve years later, I would run for elected offi ce myself. And yet in March of 2014, I did just that.

It has truly been my honor to serve you, the people of Revere, Chelsea and Saugus as your State Representative, and I am forever grateful to you for your love, support and friendship over the years – but particularly throughout these last six years. You are the reason I got here. You are the reason I have stayed here. And you are the reason that leaving here is so bittersweet.

City Clerk Ashley Melnik said Tuesday that she couldn’t fi nd any responsive documents regarding an active Class II license at 14 Furlong Drive. “Out of sight, out of mind,” said Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna, who put forth a motion earlier this month during a City Council meeting. “It’s heavily littered with 60 cars, auto part debris, and neighbors have been seeing customers test driving and employees selling unregistered cars.” McKenna said Majestic Motors was fined two and a half years ago for multiple violations, cleaned up their propJoanne McKenna Ward 1 Councillor erty, but now they’re back to where they started.

Whelan School teachers and the school district’s administration that continues to play out on the city’s main stage has generated a stack of grievances from the Revere Teachers Association, a protest of about 100 people outside a School Committee meeting and plenty of rhetoric. But so far, it’s hasn’t produced any compromises or resolutions and has, according to some, only exacerbated a problem with morale in city schools that that took root before the dispute surfaced. According to Erik Fearing, president of the Revere Teachers Association, the conflict started with 17 teachers who, on one day, did not follow the procedure of recording students who ate breakfast at school. The recording system was approved in 2019 to gather one year of data on the program. But the district carried the system forward to this year despite objections from the union. Fearing said the administration has disciplined the teachers for insubordination but the Revere Teachers Association is challenging that move through the union’s grievance process. “The teachers from Whelan were given unjust and overblown discipline. We’re all fi ghting for them to have these unwarranted punishments rescinded,” he said. School Committee Member Anthony D’Ambrosio is one of the few offi cials who has publicly shared his thoughts on the Whelan teachers. He has been clear about his support for the teachers, but he also feels the situation escalated and became unnecessarily adversarial. And he feels school offi cials need to be focusing on other concerns. “Over the course of the past several months, the issue of teacher morale in our schools has been particularly acute,” he said. “Dozens of parents and teachers have raised their concerns to me. As a School DeAnthony D’Ambrosio School Board Member partment, we need to do a better job communicating with each other, mediating our differences and working together for the betterment of the children of Revere.” Several parents have said the poor morale among teachers is aff ecting the morale of students. Ina Tall does not have a child at Whelan but she’s not surprised that a negative atmosphere is reaching down into classrooms. Another parent feels it is unfair to involve children in a labor dispute. But many parents and residents support the teachers and feel the administration should have found a diff erent way to resolve the confl ict. The information gathered by teachers on the student breakfast is required to maintain the federally funded program. And no one wants to see the breakfast program discontinued. D’Ambrosio called the teachers’ organized rejection of the breakfast count misguided, but he also feels the administration’s disciplinary action against the teachers was much too harsh. And he worries the longer the dispute remains unresolved the more it will corrode the learning environment at Whelan. “The best path forward for our system requires collaboration, compromise and enhanced morale,” he said.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Neighbors and developer compromise on parkway self-storage height By Tara Vocino N eighbors worked together to come up with an agreement for a self-storage unit at 727 Revere Beach Parkway during the City Council’s Zoning Sub-Committee meeting on Feb. 10. Five years in the making, councillors unanimously approved a special permit last Monday night for a four-story self-storage building that will stand tall at 39.6 feet. Neighbors originally agreed upon a 30-feet building, but due to the water table, the height had to be increased, according to Attorney Cory D. Rhoades of D’Ambrosio Brown LLP, Counselors at Law, who presented the plan on behalf of developer Robert Inello. “I’m glad the neighbors are finally happy,” Inello said last Monday; he will donate $25,000 to $50,000 for a library chair lift, as part of the Community Investment Trust Fund. “The gray/blue building’s construction will begin in about 60 days.” As a condition of building the Neighbors who were against the tall height of a proposed self-storage unit at 727 Revere Beach Pkwy. came to an agreement on the height last Monday night during a Zoning Sub-Committee meeting. storage unit, Inello said, building a lift is a good use of funds. Rhoades, who has appeared three times before the City Council, said he’s happy that all parties worked it out, and it’s been a long time coming. Zoning Committee Chairman Anthony Zambuto said he’s very happy to see it resolved, and that the neighbors are reasonably happy. “The developer bent over backwards for the neighbors,” said Zambuto, who added that apartments at the site would have been devastating. “He made a great compromise, MassPort Noise Complaint Line: 617-561-3333 as a storage unit is least invasive to the area.” Neighbors agreed upon storage conditions with stipulations, resulting from a community meeting. They said after the approval that they’re collectively glad it’s all over. Opponent Thelma Terenzio, of 140 Taft St., said she is shocked because Inello has money that “he can do what he wants,” including acquiring a demolition permit in 12 hours. “Give us a break,” Terenzio said at the original meeting a few weeks ago. “I’m so old, and I’ll be gone, but I’m thinking about our future.” Limitations include: Construction vehicles can’t be parked overnight on Taft Street; the back of the unit will feature landscaping; construction work will last from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; a barrier will be built around the construction site so debris can’t fall onto houses; the unit can’t be turned into apartments, a community notice will be delivered to residents two weeks before construction begins; and a newly signed contract states that the building can’t be raised too high.

Proponent Economic Development Director Robert O’Brien spoke in favor along with Mayor Brian Arrigo, citing a long process in which when difficulty with neighbors arose, McKenna intervened. “The height is to go up because of groundwater problems, but it’s still going to be less than 40 feet in height, and less than five stories,” O’Brien said at the public hearing. “It’s a good project, and Inello has been responsible, responsive and patient.” Attorney Cory D. Rhoades of D’Ambrosio Brown LLP, Counselors at Law, Revere, who presented a plan on behalf of developer Robert Inello, said they’re pleased that the neighbors decided to go forward with the storage unit with about eight stipulations.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Page 3 Anzuoni leaves behind a legacy of public service A By Barbara Taormina fter 42 years of municipal budgets, bonds and taxes, George Anzuoni, the city’s treasurer, director of finance and chief administrative officer, is moving on to the next act and whatever life has in store for him. Friday is Anzuoni’s last day at City Hall, and although he has no plans for Saturday, daughters Nicole, Rebecca and Christina and grandkids Charlotte, Nolan and Thatcher may have already worked up a schedule. “City Hall will not be the same without George Anzuoni,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “For nearly half a century, George has devoted his talents and his energy to keeping the City of Revere on solid fi nancial footing. He has been the ultimate protector of the City’s treasury; he has been our vigilant Collector of taxes who made sure that everyone paid their fair share.” Anzuoni began working for the City of Revere on Feb. 22, 1978, in the wake of New England’s great blizzard. “I was in charge of overseeing the high school while trying my best to take care of people,” he recalled. “That went on for fi ve or six days, but after that we had to get down to business.” At the top of Anzuoni’s “To do” list was Revere’s bond rating, which, back in 1978, didn’t exist. “The city had no bond rating at all,” he recalled. So Anzuoni buried himself in spread sheets, cash fl ow statements, spending reports, revenue projections and all the othGeorge Anzuoni Retiring as city treasurer er information that goes into the mix of establishing a bond rating. By 1979, Revere’s bond rating was restored, and today it stands at AA+, the second highest rating assigned by the major credit rating agencies. “One more step will give us the highest rating,” said Anzuoni, who considers restoring Revere’s credit as one of his biggest accomplishments. But there were many other challenges and achievements in Anzuoni’s long career that lasted through fi ve diff erent mayors and administrations. “In the 80s, we had to deal with Prop 2½, which changed the way we did our budgets,” recalled Anzuoni. During the fi rst year of the law that limited increases on property taxes, Revere was forced to cut 23 city employees. But Anzuoni found a way to work with the new constraints, and over the next two years he was able Revere announces Early Voting beginning February 24 E arly voting is available to all registered voters for the Presidential Primary on Tuesday, March 3, 2020.

Revere’s annual budget grew from $60 million to $230 million. And that growth is just one of the many changes he helped usher into the city. “Municipal finance laws haven’t changed that much,” he said, adding that the big moves came with the advances in technology. “We computerized the city’s system in 1988,” he recalled. “That was a major change.” Anzuoni was able to boost municipal revenue with an aggressive and highly successful collection system that is still in use today. “Our collection rate is 99.1 percent,” he said, adding that he also streamlined the city’s foreclosure process. Anzuoni also managed the fi - nancing of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency consent decree that required Revere to invest $50 million in its wastewater system.

She added that trailers are falling apart, creating unsafe living conditions. “People are living in squalor,” McKenna said. “Some of these trailers don’t even have bathrooms and have windows boarded up.” She said a cease and desist order should be placed until the property owner can bring the area up to par. “If someone doesn’t keep their house the way they’re supposed to, why can’t we shut it down?” McKenna asked. “Let’s help these people [find a better place to live].” She went on to say it’s unfair how beautiful structures are being built all over the city while those less fortunate have to live this way. “One of my former students came out of a trailer and said she lives there with her father because she is financially strapped,” said McKenna, who added that it’s people with hardships. “It’s not all drug addicts.” Nicholas Moulaison, who runs an online police blotter, says he reports approximately 15 overdoses per week there. Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo, who has visited third world countries, said this appears to be beyond third world and that he’s willing to help. “We need to find them another place to live,” Rotondo said. “We have to be serious about this.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

EMASS Senior Softball League opens player registration for 2020 season E astern Massachusetts Senior Softball (EMASS) is launching its annual recruitment campaign for players age 50 and over. The 400-plus member league draws players from towns across Eastern Massachusetts with games played on fields in Framingham, Medfield, Ashland and Wayland. The season begins May 1 and runs until Labor Day, with playoffs completed in early October. EMASS members range in age For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net from 50 to 90. The average age is 67 with 70 players in their fifties, 160 in their sixties, 140 in their seventies and 30 in their eighties. Members’ skill levels range from casual recreational players to those who play on nationally competitive tournament teams. Players of any skill level will find a spot with players of similar abilities in one or more of EMASS’s five divisions. Two divisions play doubleheaders on Saturday mornings and three divisions play doubleheaders on weekdays. The spirit of Senior Softball is evident in its post-game tradition of the opposing teams forming lines to congratulate each other with high fives and fist bumps. Competing in senior softball is a statement. Players thumb their nose at Father Time and they are deeply grateful to take the field and compete together as teammates or opponents. “The EMASS softball-loving community competes with sportsmanship and camaraderie,” said Walker Royce, Commissioner of EMASS. “Besides all the fun and banter of a team sport, we also provide each other with a healthy support network for getting through life’s senior challenges. That could be fighting through cancer, rehabilitating a knee replacement or just hitting over 500.” Players share joys of playing in EMASS EMASS players know how blessed they are to play. They are inspired by the elder players who can still perform well in their late seventies and eighties. They love seeing a teammate return from an injury or some life-threatening ailment. They enjoy that three-hour escape to the fields where camaraderie, teamwork and competition block out life’s challenges and stresses. “EMASS is an oasis for me,” said David Ossam, a first year player in 2019. “No matter what personal or professional pressures I am facing, those weekly hours are refreshing and uplifting. Playing the game I love with people I truly enjoy makes life sweeter and more fun.” “I have found EMASS to be a well-run, welcoming league, providing a good balance of fun and competitiveness,” said Dan Jolly, who has played in EMASS for two seasons. “All of my teammates have been fantastic to get to know and they have inspired me to look forward to many more softball seasons as I look to retire.” “Over 21 years, EMASS has provided me with the opportunity to re-live my youth and play the game I love,” said Joe Salzano, now 83 and a seasoned EMASS player. “I have established long-lasting relationships with players both on and off the field.” Visit www.e-mass.org to learn more about the League and to register for the 2020 season.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Page 11 Baker-Polito Administration brings awareness to new hands-free law taking effect Sunday Fines will range between $100–$500 per violation B OSTON – Recently the Baker-Polito Administration issued a reminder to motorists that the hands-free law goes into effect this Sunday, February 23. Signed by Governor Charlie Baker in November, the new law is intended to reduce the number of people injured or killed because of distracted driving, and levies penalties that will be enforced by local and state police. “Our administration is committed to keeping Massachusetts roads safe, and we urge all drivers to pay attention when they are behind the wheel,” said Governor Baker. “This law holds drivers accountable for keeping their focus on the road while being aware of the vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists around them and we are pleased that it will take effect this week.” The new law, An Act requiring the hands-free use of mobile telephones while driving, stipulates that operators of motor vehicles cannot use an electronic device unless the device is being used in hands-free mode. Operators cannot read or view text, images or videos, unless what is being viewed is helping with navigation, and the device is mounted in an appropriate location. Motorists also cannot make phone calls unless they can do so without holding their phones by using technology, such as Bluetooth. The law also requires law enforcement officers to report data on violations that will be shared with the public. The use of phones and all electronic devices, including phones in hands-free mode, remains illegal for drivers under the age of 18. “The hands-free law will help increase road safety for all users, including pedestrians and bicyclists, who have the fastest growing rate of crashes caused by inattentive drivers,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “If you are behind the wheel, your attention should be on the road.” “Nothing you text, watch, or search for on your device is more Navigators seeking host families, game day staff & interns L YNN – The Futures Collegiate Baseball League’s North Shore Navigators are seeking host families, part-time and game day staff members and interns for the 2020 season. The Navigators’ 2020 roster will have more players from around the country than ever before, so the team is looking to add to their dedicated group of host families. Host family requirements are simple: a bed, laundry facilities (for personal items; the team washes uniforms); a parking spot (some players don’t have a car, some do); and some help with meals. The players are provided with food before and after games, so don’t let feeding them be a deal-breaker because the bed is needed most! Each host family will receive a stipend based on the number of players it hosts, a season ticket for each family member and a special Navs gift package. The Navigators are also hiring for numerous part-time staff, day-of-game staff and internship positions: Part-Time/Day-of-Game Staff - Assistant General Manager - Director of Interns - Game Day Operations - Concessions - Clubhouse Manager - Mascot Internships - Event Staff (including front gate, merchandise, promotions, special events) - Game Entertainment (music, sound effects) - Play-by-Play Broadcaster - Sideline Reporter - Social Media For more information about becoming a host family or to inquire about open staff positions and internships, contact Derek January at dj@nsnavs.com. The Navs are now preparing for the 13th season of collegiate ball at Fraser Field and their ninth in the Futures League. The 2020 opener is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27. Until then, stay up to date on the latest Navs news by visiting nsnavs.com and following the Navs on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. important than your safety, the safety of your passengers, and everyone on the road around you,” said the Secretary of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS), Thomas Turco. “Even when you’re stopped at a traffic light, you need to put your device away and focus on the road.” Punishment for violating the hands-free law includes a $100 fine for a first offense, a $250 fine for a second offense and a $500 fine for a third or subsequent offense. Operators who commit a second or subsequent offense are required to complete an educational program focused on distracted driving prevention. A third or subsequent offense will count as a “surchargeable” incident. “Today is an important day for everyone who uses roads across the Commonwealth,” said Transportation Secretary/CEO Stephanie Pollack. “MassDOT thanks the Baker-Polito Administration, transportation experts, advocacy groups and victims’ families who pushed for this law because they know how dangerous distracted drivers are to everyone around them. We look forward to continue working with our partners to make Massachusetts roadways safe.” “Every driver has a responsibility to operate their vehicle safely,” said Acting Registrar of Motor Vehicles Jamey Tesler. “Elevating distracted driving to a fineable offense with potential insurance surcharges sends a clear message to motorists that it is dangerous and will not be tolerated.” “The Massachusetts State Police and local police departments will roll extra patrols to kick off enforcement of the Hands-Free law,” said the Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, Colonel Christopher Mason. “But our hope is that all drivers will comply with this important law and keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. There is nothing on your screen that is worth your life or the life of another.” Traffic safety experts believe driver inattention is a contributing factor in the following trends: • Between 2012 and 2017, nearly 20,000 people died in U.S. crashes involving a distracted driver; 9.5% of all fatal crashes in this time frame involved a distracted driver (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA]). • Total Massachusetts traffic fatalities increased 12.8% (345 to 389) from 2015 to 2016, more than double the national rate of increase of 5.6% (NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System [FARS]). • Between 2014 and 2018, 233 people in Massachusetts died in crashes involving a distracted driver. • In Massachusetts, annual crashes involving a distracted driver have risen 35.7% from 28 in 2014 to 38 in 2018. • Distracted crashes in which a driver was “manually operating an electronic device” rose 70% from 2014 to 2016. • Distracted driving crashes resulting in injury have increased by nearly 170% from 2014 to 2016. • In Massachusetts 78 pedestrians were killed in 2018; this represents an increase of 8.3% from 2017 (FARS). • In 2018, 17% of children 14 and younger killed in traffic crashes were pedestrians (NHTSA). Under the new law, vehicles without built-in GPS, Apple Car Play, or Android Audio must be equipped with a phone mount on the dash or windshield for GPS navigation. Acceptable options to equip your vehicle for hands-free phone use are listed below: For vehicles with Bluetooth, a phone mount is all that is needed for GPS navigation. All phone communication can be routed through the Bluetooth connection. For vehicles with an Aux port but no Bluetooth, operators can purchase a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into their vehicle’s cigarette lighter and includes a cable for connecting to the Aux port for phone audio. Some include microphones and a dashmountable button to answer calls, while some others rely on the phone’s microphone. For vehicles without Bluetooth or an Aux port, the following options are acceptable: • Standalone hands-free device with built-in Bluetooth, speaker and microphone • Bluetooth adapter with FM transmitter to use car speakers for audio • Single-ear earpiece that can connect to phone via Bluetooth • Replacement head unit that includes either Apple CarPlay, Android Audio or Bluetooth (must be professionally installed) To fully comply with the law while using any of these options, the use of a voice assistant on the phone or through the car’s infotainment system is required. Apple’s Siri or Google Assistant must be enabled and used to issue commands to place calls and listen to and respond to text messages. For motorists not using handsfree technology, EOPSS’s Office of Grants and Research offers these additional tips: • Before driving, please turn your phone off and put it out of reach. • Set your mobile phone to “Do Not Disturb While Driving” mode. • Let your friends and family know that you’ll be driving and can’t take their calls or texts. • If you have to make a call or send a text, pull over. • Watch for pedestrians and bicyclists – especially at night. • Remember to buckle up! Seatbelts are your best defense against a distracted driver. The hands-free legislation is one proposal included in a comprehensive road safety package filed earlier this year by the Baker-Polito Administration. That proposal includes measures to improve work zone safety, require the use of ignition interlock devices for first time offenders, and the creation of a framework to regulate new technology, such as electronic scooters and other low-speed mobility devices.

Page 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Lady Patriots basketball end season at McIntire Tourney T By Greg Phipps he final two games of the season seemed a perfect microcosm of the Revere High School girls’ basketball team’s experience this winter. The Lady Patriots competed hard but couldn’t quite contend with the strength of the opponent as they lost both their games at the annual Larry McIntire IAABO Board Tournament at Beverly High School this past weekend. Revere dropped a 70-50 decision to Beverly in the first-round game on Sunday and suffered a 58-45 loss to Peabody in Monday’s consolation contest. The Peabody game stayed close until the fourth quarter when the Lady Tanners pulled away to the double-digit victory. Bishop Fenwick ended up beating Beverly in the championship matchup. For the Lady Patriots, the season ended at 5-15 overall as Revere missed qualifying for the postseason tournament. In Sunday’s game against Beverly, the Lady Patriots were very much in the contest early on, trailing 22-19 midway through the second quarter. But a damaging 18-3 surge ignited by Revere guard Skyla DeSimone goes up for a layup attempt in Sunday’s first-round loss to Beverly at the Larry McIntire IAABO Board Classic tourney at Beverly High School. (Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) some red-hot three-point shooting by the Lady Panthers made it a 40-22 deficit Revere could not overcome. The second half was basically even points-wise, but Revere never seriously threatened Beverly’s lead. Guard Skyla DeSimone led the Lady Patriots with 16 points, followed by Erika Cheever’s 13 and Alanna Nelson’s 11. In the Peabody game, Cheever connected for 20 points while Nelson had another double-digit effort with 11. “I think we played a strong first half against Beverly, but they just wore us down in the second half,” said Revere head coach Matt Willis after the tournament. “The Peabody game was close until the fourth quarRevere guard Erika Cheever drives the baseline against Beverly. ter when they were able to extend their lead.” Willis expressed his gratitude for the overall effort of the team despite season-long injury problems and external issues. He especially praised the performance and attitude of senior players Cheever and Katie O’Donnell. “I can’t say enough good things about them and everything they’ve done for the program. Their leadership and perseverance through a tough season will set an example for the younger players.” Photo Contest: “The Sun Rises & Sets on Revere” T he “Sun Rises and Sets on Revere” Photo Contest has been announced by the City Revere’s Alanna Nelson penetrates to the basket in Sunday’s loss at Beverly. of Revere, DCR and the collaborating nonprofit organizations: the Revere Society for Cultural and Historic Preservation, the Revere Beautification Committee and others.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Page 13 Basketball Pats win six straight, make playoffs Revere’s Lewiss Garcia Martinez wrestles for a rebound in Monday’s first-round win over Arlington Catholic at the General Patton Tournament held at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School. By Greg Phipps N ot only did the Revere High School boys basketball team reel off six consecutive victories to earn a postseason bid – the Patriots took home the General Patton Tournament title with a big 56-50 win over Marblehead on Tuesday at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School. Revere defeated Arlington Catholic, 6255, in Monday’s first round to advance to the championship contest. Monday’s win may have a little more big-picture significance in that it was Revere’s 10th victory of the season and it catapulted the Patriots into the playoffs. But the following day’s triumph and a trophy to go with it was just as sweet. “It was a great win for the kids. They’re playing with a lot of confidence right now,” said head coach David Leary. “It’s 100 percent true that something just clicked in the fourth quarter of our game at Peabody [a close loss three weeks ago]. We’ve been treating every game since like it’s a state tournament game.” The Peabody contest Leary referred to was a 63-55 defeat in which the Patriots came back from a large deficit in the final quarter to nearly pull off a win. Revere, which finished the regular season at 11-9 overall, has not lost since and now waits to find out its playoff seeding and first-round opponent. The Peabody loss had dropped the Patriots to 5-9 with dire prospects to make the postseason. But Leary said his players were determined to make a run. “They knew they Patriots forward Dillon Day goes hard to the basket against Arlington Catholic. had fallen behind the eight ball, but they kept working at it and they ended up getting it done. I’m proud of them.” In the Patton tourney title game, Crisrael Lithgow exploded for 25 points and John Capozzi added 14 to lead Revere to the win over Marblehead, which had knocked off host team Hamilton-Wenham the day before. Lithgow connected on six shots from beyond the three-point line, and Capozzi was solid from the foul line, hitting on six of eight attempts from the charity stripe. Dillon Day hauled down 14 rebounds and dished out five assists. Against Arlington Catholic, Lithgow had another stellar offensive effort with 18 points while Capozzi canned 13 and Robert Raduazzo and Day each dropped in 12 to lead the scoring. The Patriots held a 34-26 advantage at halftime and never relinquished the lead in the second half despite a couple surges by Arlington. Day also finished with 10 rebounds, and Capozzi blocked four shots to aid the cause. Patriots center John Capozzi tries to chase down a loose ball in Monday’s first-round win.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 National Polar Bear Day brings back fond memories of “Major” – still everybody’s favorite at Stone Zoo N ational Polar Bear Day is observed on February 27. It is a day to learn more about polar bears and conservation eff orts where they are concerned. It is also a day for many long-standing supporters of Stone Zoo to recall fond memories of everybody’s favorite polar bear – “Major” – who was adored by tens of thousands of visitors during his 25 years at the zoo. He was euthanized in June of 2000 at the age of 33 after zoo offi cials discovered he was suff ering from advanced liver cancer and determined that nothing more could be done to restore his health. It was, indeed, a very sad day for all who just assumed he would live much longer. Major was captured in Siberia in 1966 and moved to the Worcester Science Center (now EcoTarium) in 1971 before being transferred in 1975 to Stone Zoo. He soon became the star attraction – weighing about 900 pounds and standing over 8 feet tall – and lived to be the oldest known polar bear in captivity. Zoo supporters might recall the many birthday celebrations held each January in his honor. Often very cold temperatures and snowy conditions did not deter his legion of stanch admirers from bestowing gifts and participating in the wide variety of activities around his exhibit area. They crafted and displayed handmade cards, created ice sculptures, interacted with costumed cartoon characters, enjoyed face painting, celebrity appearances, radio station giveaways and much more. However, the highlight of the annual “bash” – in addition to the gigantic birthday cake for the guests – was always the excitement of watching the “birthday boy” dive into his icy pool to fetch his gift from his dedicated keepers. It was a hearty fi sh-sicle! Crowds of well-wishers enthusiastically belted out “Happy Birthday” as the grand fi nale to a fun-fi lled family event coordinated by Friends of Stone Zoo African-American History Month volunteers, staff , area businesses and zoo fans of all ages. Major’s presence at the zoo is still greatly missed every day. We all agree that the memory of Major as well as the history of Stone Zoo deserve to be kept alive. Upon his death, the National Coalition for Educational and Cultural Programs, Inc. (NCECP), a nonprofi t educational organization, partnered with (then) Stoneham Savings Bank to establish the “Major, the Polar Bear” Scholarship. The award ensures that his impact is not forgotten while encouraging higher education in the areas of nature, science or conservation with a community service requirement. NCECP has a longstanding record of accomplishment since 1991 in the areas of education, environment, community service and involvement with Stone Zoo. The fi rst award was made in June of 2001 and has continued each year thanks to the support of the Salem Five Bank Foundation and the generosity of many individuals. As a result, the award has been inARBOR DAY | FROM PAGE 8 more.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Page 17 cal health needs.” “[The bill] is an incredibly progresTHE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records votes of local senators from the week of February 10-14. There were no roll calls in the House last week. IMPROVE DELIVERY OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES (S 2519) Senate 38-0, approved and sent to the House the “Mental Health ABC Act,” aimed at making major changes in the mental health care system in Massachusetts. Supporters said the bill removes barriers to and expands access to mental health care, boosts the industry’s workforce and strengthens the quality of coverage. They noted that some Massachusetts residents have for years experienced great difficulty accessing some mental health services — leaving many without the treatment they so desperately need. They cited a 2018 report indicating that more than one-half of fully insured adults who sought mental health care services reported diffi culty fi nding them. In 2000 and 2008, the Legislature approved state laws that require health insurance companies to provide mental health benefi ts at the same level as other medical conditions. Supporters of this year’s bill said that enforcement of the laws has been challenging and many people are still denied coverage for mental health treatment that is just as critical to managing their health as treatment for conditions such as diabetes, cancer or heart disease. They pointed out that this new legislation includes quicker evaluation and resolution of parity complaints, greater reporting and oversight of insurance companies’ mental health policies and penalties for insurance companies that do not comply with the law. “Too many people in Massachusetts struggle to access the mental health services they desperately need and deserve,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (DTruro), co-chair of the Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery and a key sponsor of the bill. “The reasons are many and complicated. Mental health care is treated diff erently than physical health, it is often not covered by insurance, it is diffi cult to access and it is hard to talk about. By passing this bill, the Massachusetts Senate is living up to our promise to begin to transform how the commonwealth addresses mental health.” “This bill reduces barriers to timely quality care and seeks to expand mental health access to underserved populations.” said Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn). “The signifi cance of increased parity and reduced stigmas cannot be overstated and I am very proud of the investments in the mental and behavioral health workforce pipeline that this legislation creates.” “For far too long, mental health has been a forgotten component of our health care system, resulting in a broken system that has continually left patients without the critical care they need,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), co-chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing. “This bill lays an important foundation for creating a system that is accessible and equitable and provides the state with better tools to ensure that someone with a mental health condition has the same access to care as someone with physisive and forward-thinking piece of legislation that will benefit social workers working in mental and behavioral health and the clients and communities served by social workers across the commonwealth,” said Rebekah Gewirtz, Executive Director of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Association of Social Workers.“ As the crisis of mental health access has escalated both nationally and here in Massachusetts, we applaud the Senate’s proactive and comprehensive approach that will help us to fi nally achieve mental health parity in our state.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes CULTURALLY DIVERSE BEHAVIORAL WORKFORCE (S 2519) Senate 37-0, approved an amendment to a section of the bill that creates a pilot program administered by the Departments of Higher Education and Mental Health, to encourage a culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse behavioral health workforce. Participants would attend graduate-level classes to receive academic credits toward a master’s degree in the fi eld of behavioral health. The graduates would be placed in jobs with community providers serving high-need populations, including children, veterans, school-aged youth and individuals with a comorbidity — one or more diseases or conditions that occur along with another condition in the same person at the same time. The amendment adds individuals with PTSD and aging adults to the defi nition of high-need populations. “There are a great number of people who suff er from post-traumatic stress disorder,” said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who serves as chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. “Many of these men and women are veterans. Additionally, aging adults face their own unique mental health challenges. Moreover, diffi cult situations exist in families which can result in trauma and PTSD. Because of these reasons, and many more, it was essential that this amendment address and ensure that those suff ering with PTSD are not lost. It is crucial that mental healthcare professionals have the proper skill set to deal with the unique circumstances and symptoms experienced by those who suffer from PTSD.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes BOLSTER TRANSPARENCY (S 2519) Senate 37-0, approved an amendment requiring that a report on several pilot programs in the mental health bill be written in non-technical, readily understandable language and be made available to the public by posting the report on the Department of Higher Education’s website. Important pilot programs in the bill include programs to increase mental health workforce diversity, increase the number of psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners at community health centers, increase student access to behavioral health telemedicine and increase access and improve quality of cultural competency in the delivery of mental health care. “Bay Staters deserve to know the outcomes of these pilot programs, and that’s exactly what we’ll get by bolstering transparency through publication of the summary reports,” said Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham), the sponsor of the amendment. “I am proud that the Senate adopted this amendment by a unanimous, bipartisan roll call vote.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes SCREENING FOR ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (S 2519) Senate 37-0, approved an amendment creating an Advisory Working Group to update and amend tools and protocols for the screening of children for trauma and adverse childhood experiences. The amendment mandates that the group hold the fi rst meeting not later than April 1, 2020 and report its fi ndings and recommendations by December 31, 2020. Adverse childhood experience is defi ned as “a potentially traumatic event that occurs in childhood including experiencing violence or abuse; witnessing violence in the home or community; having a close family member die or attempt to die by suicide; living with close family member or caregiver with substance use disorder; or experiencing separation from a parent due to divorce, incarceration or child welfare intervention.” “Adverse childhood experiences have long-lasting negative effects on children,” said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Cynthia Stone Creem. “I fi led this amendment to bring experts together to identify best ways to screen and provide services earlier.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes 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 week of February 10-14, the House met for a total of 39 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 7 hours and 15 minutes. Mon.

Page 18 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 a en orniioor avvy S oreni avvy Senior avyvy vy niiori nio When Should Dementia Patients Stop Driving? Dear Savvy Senior, Is there a good rule of thumb on when dementia patients should stop driving? My 82-year-old mom has early stage Alzheimer’s disease but still drives herself around town just fi ne. Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, Most doctors agree that people with moderate to severe dementia should never get behind the wheel, but in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, driving performance should be the determining factor of when to stop driving, not the disease itself. With that said, it’s also important to realize that as your mom’s driving skills deteriorate over time from the disease, she might not recognize she has a problem. So, it’s very important that you work closely with her doctor to monitor her driving and help her stop when it is no longer safe for her to drive. Here are some additional tips that can help you. Watch for Warning Signs The best way to keep tabs on your mom’s driving is to take frequent rides with her watching out for key warning signs. For example: Does she have trouble remembering routes to familiar places? Does she drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate, drift between lanes or fail to observe traffi c signs? Does she react slowly or make poor driving decisions? Also, has your mom had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on her vehicle? All of these are red fl ags. If you need some assessment help, hire a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. See AOTA.org/ older-driver or ADED.net to locate one in your area. Transition Tips Through your assessments, if you believe it’s still safe for your mom to drive, you should start recommending some simple adjustments to ensure her safety, like driving only in daylight and on familiar routes, and avoiding busy roads and bad weather. Also, see if she will sign an Alzheimer’s “driving contract” (see ALZ.org/driving to print one) that designates someone to tell her when it’s no longer safe to drive. You may also want to consider getting a GPS car tracking device (like MotoSafety.com or AutoBrain.com) to help you keep an eye on her. These devices will let you track where she’s driving and allow you to set up zones and speed limits that will send you alerts to your smartphone when she exits an area, or if she’s driving too fast or braking harshly. Time to Quit When your mom’s driving gets to the point that she can no longer drive safely, you’ll need to talk to her. It’s actually best to start having these conversations in the early stages of the disease, before she needs to quit driving, so she can prepare herself. You also need to have a plan for alternative transportation (including a list of family, friends and local transportation options) that will help your mom get around after she stops driving. For tips on how to talk to your mom, the Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence off ers a helpful guide called “At the Crossroads: Family Conversations About Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia and Driving” that you can get at TheHartford.com/ Publications-on-Aging. Refuses to Quit If your mom refuses to quit, you have several options. First, suggest a visit to her doctor who can give her a medical evaluation, and prescribe that she stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family. If she still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to see if they can help. Some states require doctors to report new dementia cases to the DMV, who can revoke the person’s license. If these fail, consider hiding her keys or just take them away. You could also disable her vehicle by disconnecting the battery, park it in another location so she can’t see it or have access to it or sell it. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
