THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2024 Page 3 Mass. House passes landmark veterans legislation Bill increases state benefi ts and tax credits and modernizes services for veterans O n May 22, 2024, the Massachusetts House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation that honors veterans in Massachusetts by broadening the defi nition of a veteran, increasing tax credits and state benefi ts that they are eligible for and modernizing the services that they rely on. “An Act honoring, empowering, and recognizing our servicemembers and veterans (HERO Act)” mandates impacting hundreds of thousands of veterans living in Massachusetts. On May 28, the Massachusetts Senate referred the bill to its Committee on Ways and Means. “Ensuring that state government is doing everything that it can to support the Commonwealth’s veterans is one of the most important responsibilities that we have as elected offi cials. Veterans represent the very best of us, having risked their lives in service of this country, which is why we owe them nothing less than our unwavering support,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (DQuincy). “This legislation not only provides increased support for veterans in Massachusetts, through tax credits and enhanced benefi ts, it also takes steps to ensure that the Commonwealth goes to even greater lengths to honor our veterans and gold star families. I want to thank Governor Healey for fi ling the HERO Act, as well as Chairman Michlewitz and Chairman Cassidy for working diligently to guide this bill through the legislative process, and fi nally all of my colleagues in the House for recognizing the importance of supporting our veterans however we can.” “The HERO Act is a transformative package of reforms and dental help beyond other benefi ts available to veterans. • Updates the definition of “dependent” to make it gender neutral and include children over the age of 18 who meet the criteria for emanciMASS HOUSE | SEE Page 5 Lawrence A.

Healey. “As we approach Memorial Day, we are grateful to the House for advancing this essential bill today and look forward to our continued partnership with the Legislature to strengthen veteran services in Massachusetts.” “The HERO Act is a historic piece of legislation that addresses critical quality of life issues that our veterans face every day such as benefi ts, medical assistance, and tax exemptions,” said Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “I am thankful to Speaker Mariano for his dedication to improving the lives of our veterans in the Commonwealth and to all our Commonwealth’s service members, both active duty and retired.” “The HERO Act represents the partial redemption of a debt owed by the people of the Commonwealth to our veterans. I am extremely proud to have joined a unanimous House of Representatives in voting for this legislation. The breadth of earned benefits contained in this bill will go Jeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative a long way in expressing our collective ‘thank you’ to our HERO’S,” said Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D-Winthrop). The bill broadens the defi - nition of “veteran” for the purposes of expanding veteran benefi ts eligibility, and to better align it with federal law. This new definition includes any person that served on active duty for at least 90 days, and whose last discharge was under conditions other than dishonorable; any person that served on active duty, in the National Guard or as a reservist, including solely for training purposes and was awarded a service-connected disability, or died in such service; and any person determined to be a veteran according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Aff airs.

The Division II World Series boasts some of the fi nest teams and umpires in college baseball. Hinojosa, who grew up playing baseball, has been an umpire for 15 years. He initially tested to become a college umpire eight years ago. After passing an intense exam, Hinojosa umped for two trial years before becoming a full-fl edged member. To become a college playoff umpire, one must receive positive feedback from college coaches and fellow umpires. These reviews lead to a selection from the National Umpire Assigner. In previous years, Hinojosa has umped in multiple college playoff rounds, including the regionals and superregionals. This year, he was selected as one of the best in the nation, and will now participate in all playoff rounds of the Division II competition. Hinojosa most recently won the Robert ‘Curley’ Clement Umpire of the Year Award in 2023. “We are very proud of Mike, and we are excited to see how these College World Series games go,” commented Mayor Keefe. “Mike is a team player and has dedicated many years of service to Revere athletics and recreation. We’re all happy to see him fi nd success as an umpire, too.” Mike Hinojosa, Director of Revere Parks & Recreation, will be umpiring an NCAA Division II championship game in North Carolina this week. ~ RHS PATRIOTS SPORTS ROUNDUP ~ JOHN MACKEY & ASSOCIATES ~ Attorneys at Law ~ * PERSONAL INJURY * REAL ESTATE * FAMILY LAW * PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY * LANDLORD/TENANT DISPUTES 14 Norwood Street Everett, MA 02149 Phone: (617) 387-4900 Fax: (617) 381-1755 WWW.JMACKEYLAW.COM                                 By Dom Nicastro Patriots lacrosse team shows marked improvement The Revere boys lacrosse team went 0-18 this season but improved greatly throughout the season. “All the boys played their hearts out and grew as a team and young adults,” Revere coach Jordan DeBarros said. “The captains were tremendous leaders and role models for the other boys on the team, including being an extension of myself and other coaches with teaching the fi rst-year players the rules and ways of lacrosse.” Freshman attack Matthew Le                                                      one became the leading scorer this season with 19 goals.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2024 Page 7 BOARD | FROM Page 1 According to Foss, the 54 species of mosquitos in Massachusetts pick up viruses from birds and pass the diseases to humans when they bite. Noone explained that traps collect mosquito lava and adult mosquitos. From March to September, teams go out to diff erent sites in salt marshes and fl ood areas to conduct surveillance of mosquito breeding. They are able to determine if the mosquitos are a risk to humans and what, if any, intervention should occur. Close attention is paid to catch basins, which are cleaned and monitored. Mosquitos often breed in artifi cial containers, and district workers remove 600 to 800 tires every year. Some salt marsh mosquitos lay their eggs in wet, muddy areas, such as stagnant ditches along salt marshes. High tides fl ood these areas and trigger the hatching of mosquito eggs. Salt marsh mosquitos are known for being aggressive day biters. Without treatment, they can have massive breeding numbers from June to September and are an extreme coastal nuisance. If larval counts are high, areas are treated with a bacterial larvicide, which, like all of the chemical treatments used by the district, pose a low risk to humans, wildlife and pollinators. The district recommends barrier spray treatments for public areas, such as parks, athletic fi elds and schools. A barrier spray is applied to surrounding trees, bushes and vegetation, which reduces mosquitos for several weeks. The spray is applied at night when mosquitos hunker down for the day. According to Noone, residents need to stay off fi elds after they’ve been sprayed but areas are safe for people to visit by the next morning. Property owners who are concerned about mosquitos can call the district. Staff will come and inspect a property to fi nd any areas or objects likely to attract breeding mosquitos. Birdbaths, kiddie pools and pet dishes — anywhere water can collect — are common culprits. Homeowners who have an abundance of mosquitos in their yard can contact the district and request that their property be sprayed. A pickup truck mounted with an Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) aerosol generator (sprayer) will come to a home after dark and pull into the driveway. The spray trucks deliver a 300-ft. column of mist spray to the property, which kills adult flying mosquitos. This technique, called adulticide, provides temporary control over flying mosquitos and will diminish mosquito populations that could potentially be carrying virus. Health Board member ViviA bird’s-eye view of Rumney Marsh looking towards Northgate. (Advocate fi le photo) ana Cataño asked about natural remedies. She had questions about using goats to graze on the phragmites, an invasive marsh plant favored by mosquitos for nesting and breeding, which was used before. Noone didn’t think goats would have the desired impact and said the district mows down the phragmites in October and grinds it to pulp. Cataño also asked about bringing in some dragonfl ies, which eat mosquitos. Foss said dragonfl ies do feed on mosquiGerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

All Senate roll calls were related to the Senate version of a $55.9 billion fi scal 2025 state budget. “BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE SENATE BUDGET DEBATE” Of the 1,100 amendments fi led by senators, only 41 came to a roll call vote. Many others were simply approved or rejected one at a time on voice votes, some with debate and some without debate. To move things along even faster, the Senate also did its usual “bundling” of many amendments. Instead of acting on each amendment one at a time, hundreds of the proposed amendments are bundled and put into two piles—one pile that will be approved and the other that will be rejected, without a roll call, on voice votes where it is impossible to tell which way a senator votes. Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is fi lling in for her at the podium, orchestrates the approval and rejection of the bundled amendments with a simple: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The Ayes have it and the amendments are approved.” Or: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The No’s have it and the amendments are rejected.” Senators don’t actually vote Yes or No, and, in fact, they don’t say a word. The outcome was predetermined earlier behind closed doors. Supporters of the system say that any senator who sponsored an amendment that is in the “No” pile can bring it to the fl oor and ask for an up or down vote on the amendment itself. They say this system has worked well for many years. Opponents say that rarely, if ever, does a member bring his or her amendment to the fl oor for an up-or-down vote because that is not the way the game is played. It is an “expected tradition” that you accept the fate of your amendment as determined by Democratic leaders. VETERANS BENEFITS (H 4661) House 156-0, approved and sent to the Senate a package designed to benefi t veterans in the Bay State by broadening the defi nition of a veteran, increasing tax credits and state benefi ts for which they are eligible and modernizing the services on which they rely. Provisions include providing a medical assistance benefi t, behavioral health assistance benefi t and dental benefi t beyond other benefi ts available to veterans; increasing from $2,000 to $2,250 and then to $2,500 the annuity for blind, paraplegic or veterans with disabilities; allowing municipalities to annually increase local property tax abatements for veterans in an amount equal to the increase in cost of living determined by the Consumer Price Index for the year; increasing from $2,000 to $2,500 the amount of a tax credit for each qualifi ed veteran hired by an employer and for subsequent years of continued employment of each veteran; creating a working group to study and make recommendations on the use of psychedelics as an alternative therapy for mental health treatments for veterans; and allowing certain veteran’s organizations to be approved by the Gaming Commission and their local licensing authority for up to fi ve slot machines on their premises. “[The bill] is a transformative package of reforms that will make sure our veterans and their families have access to the benefi ts, resources and support they deserve,” said Gov. Maura Healey. Rep. Gerard Cassidy (D-Brockton), House Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs, called the measure a historic piece of legislation that addresses critical quality of life issues faced every day by veterans. “It is important that we continue to honor those who served our country, and this bill highlights our commitment to their wellbeing,” said Cassidy. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes SENATE APPROVES $57.999 BILLION FISCAL 2025 BUDGET (S 3) Senate 40-0, approved a $55.9 billion fi scal 2025 state budget after adding an estimated $89.6 million in spending during three days of debate. The House has already approved a diff erent version and a House-Senate conference committee will eventually craft a plan that will be presented to the House and Senate for consideration and sent to the governor. “[The budget includes] universally free community college and record public higher education investments,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Senate chair of the Committee on Higher Education. “Signifi cant funding for rural roads and bridges, local public health, K-12 schools, Unrestricted Government Aid, Regional Transit Authorities, food security and more.” “Today our chamber took a vote of confidence in every Massachusetts resident going to school, raising a family and working to make ends meet,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Today we took a vote for an affordable, competitive and equitable commonwealth, This budget is an investment in our people, and it is an investment in our collective future.” “The fi scal year 2025 budget overwhelmingly passed by the Senate makes transformative investments in education, regional equity and builds upon the commonwealth’s workforce economy,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “These historic measures enable residents to remain in the state, solidifying our economic future for generations to come. The budget is also a balanced and responsible plan, centered on sustainability and regional equity by maximizing revenues and building upon the progress we’ve already made in key sectors of the state economy. With a transparent and inclusive amendment process, we were able to improve our original budget and make even further strides in our education, economic development, environmental and health and human services priorities.” Although no one voted against the budget, it wasn’t without its critics. “The State Senate seems to have only one thing on their mind: spend more, reform less,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. The Senate President kicked off that theme when she proposed new ‘free’ community college, which would add an unstoppable ballooning mandate for future generations of taxpayers. The Senate’s questionable priorities were also refl ected in the late hours of last night, as they adopted an amendment to spend $250,000 on a new state seal and motto, when previous attempts proved unfruitful. What a colossal waste of taxpayer money. There’s no other way to view this.” Craney continued, “Senate leadership had a great opportunity to do something benefi cial for the state’s economic competitiveness, but they failed to act. The income surtax was advertised to the public as a tax just for high income earners making over $1 million dollars. Then last year, the Legislature added a ‘marriage penalty’ to impose the $1 million dollar income surtax for all ‘combined’ incomes for married couples. This change in the tax policy penalizes married couples just for being married and signifi cantly lowers the threshold from what tax proponents campaigned on. At a time when Massachusetts is desperate to keep high income earners and productive taxpayers from moving out of state, the State Senate missed probably their most important opportunity to be helpful. They had a great opportunity to strike out the marriage penalty, but instead, they chose to keep taxes high by penalizing families.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes SALES TAX HOLIDAY (S 4) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would establish a 2-week sales tax holiday, from August 6, 2024 to August 19, 2024, allowing consumers to buy most products that cost under $2,500 without paying the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax. State law currently calls for a 2-day sales tax holiday every year. “There is no doubt that Massachusetts residents and small businesses are feeling the weight of infl ation,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “By giving a 2-week tax reprieve through an extended sales tax holiday, we provided families and individuals an opportunity to make purchases without the added burden of taxes which also helps small businesses.” Amendment opponents said the Legislature has provided extensive tax relief in recent years and argued the 2-week holiday would cost $210 million which the state cannot afford. They noted that current state law already provides a 2-day sales tax holiday annually. They noted that extending the holiday is more of a feel-good policy that does little to help families. They noted the extension would actually generate little additional revenue for stores because consumers typically buy the products even without the tax-free days. (A “Yes” vote is for the 2-week sales tax holiday. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No ABOLISH REQUIREMENT THAT COUPLES MUST FILE TAXES JOINTLY (S 4)

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2024 Page 15 Senate 10-29, rejected an amendment that would abolish the current requirement that Massachusetts married couples who fi le income tax returns jointly at the federal level do the same at the state level. Amendment supporters said that since these mararied couples are currently required to fi le jointly at the state level, their combined income can total more than $1 million and the 4 percent surtax applies to them and many more fi lers which is not what the voters approved on the November 2022 ballot question imposing the 4 percent surtax. “This amendment would have restored the original language of the surtax which would have allowed married couples in Massachusetts to fi le state taxes separately despite fi ling jointly for federal taxes,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “In doing so, couples in Massachusetts would have had the opportunity to keep more of their hardearned income versus sending it over to the state.” Amendment opponents said requiring married couples who fi le jointly at the federal level to fi le jointly with the state is reasonable and is working well. They noted the surtax is raising more money than predicted and is allowing funding of some of the most important programs in the budgets including universal free school meals, breakfast and lunch, for every student; free community college; and increased scholarships — none of that would be possible without the surtax revenues. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment abolishing the joint filing requirement. A “No” vote is against the amendment and favors requiring joint fi ling.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No CAPITAL GAINS TAX (S 4) Senate 4-35, rejected an amendment that would retain a current law that requires any excess revenue in capital gains revenue over $1 billion to annually automatically be transferred as follows: 90 percent to the Rainy Day Fund; 5 percent to the State Retiree Benefi ts Trust Fund; and 5 percent to the State Pension Liability Fund. The $1 billion would remain in the General Fund and be spent by the Legislature with no restrictions. The proposed Senate budget changes that for only fi scal 2025 by raising the threshold by $375 million so that any excess over $1.375 billion would automatically go to those three funds if the secretary of administration and fi nance makes a determination that the funds are needed to achieve balance for fi scal year 2025. The $1.375 billion would remain in the General Fund to be spent on by the Legislature with no restrictions. “This amendment would have restored the original language of the capital gains law that allows transfers of excess gains collections over $1 billion in one fi scal year,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “Changing this language for one year … would create a precedent that would mean less transparency year after year by allowing a greater amount of taxpayer money to be used outside of the intended purpose of the capital gains tax.” Opponents said the additional $375 million is needed in the General Fund this fi scal year to fund many useful new programs in the budget including the new free community college program. They noted that the state estimates that there will be $513 million in excess capital gains this fi scal year which means that a total of $138 million will still be deposited in the Rainy Day Fund and the two other retirement funds. They noted that a little less money for the Rainy Day Fund this year is acceptable because there is a healthy balance of $8.4 billion currently in the Rainy Day Fund. (A “Yes” vote is in favor of any excess capital gains revenue above $1 billion going to the Rainy Day Fund and the two retirement funds. A “No” vote is for raising the threshold to $1.375 billion.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No CONTINUE SESSION BEYOND 8 P.M. Senate 36-3, approved a motion to suspend Senate rules to allow the Senate budget debate session on May 22 to continue beyond 8 p.m. Under Senate rules, the Senate cannot meet after 8 p.m. unless the rule is suspended. The session lasted two hours and 15 minutes beyond 8 p.m. and adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Supporters of rule suspension said that the Senate has important work to continue on the fi scal 2025 budget and should stay in session to work on it. Opponents of rule suspension said it is irresponsible for the Senate to debate and vote late at night when taxpayers are asleep. (A “Yes” vote is for meeting beyond 8 p.m. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $350,000 MORE FOR YWCAs (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding for YWCAs by $350,000 (from $650,000 to $1 million). “For close to 150 years, YWCAs around the world and the nine YWCAs in Massachusetts have stood beside our young women as a pillar of support and empowerment and across the state they are working hard to expand outreach, staffi ng, programming and support services to hundreds of at-risk girls,” said Sen. Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester), the sponsor of the amendment. “This $350,000 amendment is critical to the continuance of our investment in gender specifi c youth violence prevention.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $350,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $1 MILLION MORE FOR CIVICS EDUCATION (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding for civics education in schools across the state by $1 million (from $1.5 to $2.5 million). “I am so proud to support our continued investments in civics education, which empowers young people and gives them the tools to make their voices heard as they advocate for social, racial, economic and environmental justice,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “My amendment fully funds the Civics Project Trust Fund, boosting our school systems’ ability to implement civics education curricula and support student civics projects. I’ve met and corresponded with hundreds of students about their civics projects, and I can say with confi dence that our investments in civics education are paying off .” (A “Yes” vote is for the $1 million.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes BAN HOME EQUITY THEFT (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would prohibit cities and towns that foreclose on properties on which the owner owes back property taxes, from keeping all of the profits when the city or town sells the property at auction. Current Massachusetts law allows this practice. The bill would allow the city or town to keep only the amount owed in back taxes and send the remainder to the owner. Last year, the United States Supreme Court ruled that cities and towns that foreclose on properties on which the owner owes back property taxes, cannot keep all of the profi ts when the city or town sells the property at auction. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, writing a unanimous decision about a similar Minnesota law, said that “a taxpayer who loses her $40,000 house to the state to fulfi ll a $15,000 tax debt has made a far greater contribution to the public fi sc than she owed.” BEACON | SEE Page 16 How to Find Reliable Health Information Online Dear Savvy Senior, How can I tell if the health info on a website is trustworthy? I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I’m not sure what I can trust. Skeptical Sal Dear Sal, You’re wise to be skeptical! There’s an overwhelming amount of health advice on the internet today and it can be hard to tell what’s credible. To help you sort through the online clutter and locate reliable, trustworthy health information, here are a few tips to follow, along with some toprated sites you can turn to with confi dence. Savvy Searching First, know that Google or Bing is not always the best place to start a search. You’ll increase your odds of finding reliable health information if you begin with websites run by government agencies (identified by URLs ending in.gov), medical associations (often.org) or academic institutions (.edu). Commercial websites (usually ending in.com), such as drug or insurance companies who may be trying to sell you their products, are usually not the most trustworthy options. To fi nd out who’s sponsoring a site and where the information came from, click on the “About Us” tab on the site’s home page. Also note that good health and medical information changes all the time so check the date that information was published to make sure it’s current. Some other areas you need be wary of include online symptom checkers and artifi - cial intelligence (AI) tools. While symptom checkers do off er potential diagnoses that could fi t your set of symptoms, they are often inaccurate, and tend to err on the side of caution says Ateev Mehrotra, MD, professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School. AI tools, like ChatGPT, can also be wrong or generate false but scientifi c sounding information. You also need to be cautious about using medical information from social media, online forums or YouTube. Comments in these places may sound authoritative even if the authors have no medical training or expertise. Top Health Sites While there are many excellent websites that provide reliable health and medical information, one of the best all-purpose sites that’s recommended by Consumer Reports for researching symptoms and conditions is MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov). A service of the National Library of Medicine, the world’s largest medical library, and part of the National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus provides high-quality, trustworthy health and wellness information that’s easy to understand and free of advertising. Here are a few additional websites, recommended by the Medical Library Association and others, to help you fi nd reliable information on specifi c diseases, conditions and treatments. Cancer: National Cancer Institute (cancer.gov), American Cancer Society (cancer.org) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (nccn.org). Heart disease: American Heart Association (americanheart.org), National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (nhlbi.nih. gov). Diabetes: American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org).

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2024 BEACON | FROM Page 15 “For far too long my constituents, and homeowners across Massachusetts, have been robbed of their rightful equity by greedy profi teers and apathetic bureaucrats,” said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), the sponsor of the amendment. “The Supreme Court’s ruling last year, along with the Hampden Superior Court’s decision last month, brought new hope that this thievery would fi - nally come to an end. The Senate has taken the lead on ending this injustice in Massachusetts and I am proud to ensure that we’ve taken this opportunity to provide strong protections for struggling homeowners who are often facing incredible challenges in their lives. Homeowners deserve relief and any municipality who has engaged in this predatory process should proactively refund the money to those aggrieved.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen.

May 24, 31, 2024 cards from their employers. “I sponsored this bill in order to protect workers who receive their wages through electronic wage cards from their employers,” said sponsor Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Quincy). “Without this bill, employees are subject to unfair fees when trying to access their wages. This bill would help ensure that workers are protected, made aware of any fees associated with usage of their card and provided with a means of checking their balances without cost.” PROTECT FIREFIGHTERS (H 2339) — The House gave initial approval to a measure that would require a manufacturer or person that sells Firefi ghting Personal Protective Equipment to any person or government agency, to provide, beginning January 1, 2025, written notice to the buyer, at the time of sale, if the equipment contains toxic PSAs, as well as the reason such chemicals were added to the equipment. Beginning on January 1, 2027, the bill prohibits any person from manufacturing, knowingly selling or distributing any equipment containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals. “Firefi ghters put their life on the line every day to protect the residents of Massachusetts,” said sponsor Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro). “The gear used to protect them in the performance of their duties in fact contains PFAS which is contributing to the rates of occupational cancer among Firefi ghters. [The proposal] will not only help identify turnout gear containing PFAS but phase out such forever chemicals from this gear going forward.” REQUIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS (H 2289) — The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow cities and towns to require the installation of an automatic sprinkler system in every newly-constructed 1- or 2-family home. Sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser (DNewton) said that today’s new homes burn hotter and faster than those of the past because of modern construction techniques and synthetic furnishings. She noted that as a result, residents have only one to three minutes to flee the average home without sprinklers. “Automatic sprinklers work fast and give people more time to escape,” said Balser. “According to the Massachusetts Fire Sprinkler Coalition, having both sprinklers and smoke alarms reduces the risk of dying in a home fi re by 80 percent. Additionally, automatic sprinklers put out 90 percent of home fi res before the fi re department arrives, which reduces ~ Legal Notice ~ fi refi ghters’ exposure to the toxic products of combustion that cause cancer.” $13 MILLION FOR STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM — Gov. Healey announced that the state is investing $13 million in the Bridge for Resilient Youth in Transition (BRYT) program, an inschool program supporting students who have fallen behind academically due to challenges with their mental health. This is the fi rst time the state has provided funding to establish BRYT in schools. Up until now, the program had only been available to districts with the economic resources to get it off the ground. “Far too many young people in Massachusetts have been aff ected by a growing mental health crisis that was only amplifi ed by the pandemic,” said Gov. Healey. “Every student should have the support needed to balance their mental health and education. Expanding BRYT is a critical step that is bringing us closer to that goal.” “Across Massachusetts and the nation, young people are struggling,” said?Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “They’re expected to juggle academics, extracurriculars, social lives and family needs — often in the harsh and unrelenting light of social media — while also maintaining their mental health.?Teens frequently have to navigate multiple systems to address their health needs. “Our kids shouldn’t have to ‘case manage’ themselves — that’s why BRYT is so valuable,” continued Walsh. BRYT helps students navigate and balance academic requirements and mental health treatment, while also providing the space to take a step back when needed. Expanding this program means that more students than ever before will be able to access the mental health support they need, in their home and at school.?We’re thrilled to help make that a reality.”? 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 May 20-24 the House met for a total of six hours and 49 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 39 hours and 47 minutes. Mon.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2024 Page 17 SOFTBALL | FROM Page 12 So, 15? Yes, that is above and beyond for the Patriots. A strong postseason performance would simply be icing on an already tremendous 2024. Essentially, the Patriots have shown 100% improvement over the last two seasons. To what does the coach attribute the success to? Leadership. Seniors Juliana Bolton, Isabella Qualtieri, Luiza Santos, Ally and Riley Straccia, Dakota Lanes and Olivia Morris were outstanding all season. Their journey to the state tournament included key victories in their fi nal two games of the regular season. In a thrilling matchup against Lynn Classical on May 22, the Patriots triumphed 9-6. The game saw standout performances from Lea Doucette, who hit an inside-the-park home run, and Caleigh Joyce, who doubled and scored a crucial run. Danni Hope Randall pitched a solid game, striking out 12 over seven innings, allowing only three hits and six runs. The following day, Revere secured another victory, defeating Saugus 6-4. Doucette once again led the charge with another inside-the-park home run and a triple, while Shayna Smith added a sacrifi ce fl y. Randall continued to shine, earning the win by pitching seven innings and striking out fi ve, while allowing just fi ve hits and four runs. Throughout the season, the Patriots demonstrated their depth and talent. Doucette led the team with an impressive.556 batting average, hitting fi ve home runs and driving in 33 runs. Ally Straccia was also a key contributor with a.568 average and two home runs. Shayna Smith (.483), Riley Straccia (.481) and Frankie Reed (.452) provided consistent off ensive support, each hitting over.450 and combining for 81 RBIs. Smith had four homers, and Reed added two. Defensively, the Patriots were anchored by Hope Randall, who      pitched 111 innings, striking out 170 batters with a 3.34 ERA.
