Vol. 34, No.32 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday Water’s Edge property to be reviewed by Board of Health for condemnation following history of gross negligence Owner has failed to address life safety violations since 2022, with other violations dating back to 2017 Special to Th e Advocate T he City of Revere is taking decisive action to protect the residents of Water’s Edge Apartments on Ocean Avenue, moving for a condemnation hearing following ongoing violations and gross negligence by the property owners, Water’s Edge Limited Partnership. A public hearing by the Revere Board of Health will be held on August 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers to review current status and act on the health and safety risks posed to residents at the 364 Ocean Ave. property. For the past two years, the City of Revere has attempted to work with building ownership to address the serious health, safety and maintenance issues at Water’s Edge Apartments. Following a June 2022 fi re and subsequent condemnation at 370 Ocean Ave. — another property under the same ownership with a history of safety and maintenance violations — hundreds of Revere residents were displaced. Following an inspection in 2022, the City of Revere took legal action against Water’s Edge Limited Partnership to force repair work to be completed, to no avail. Ownership has failed to make meaningful eff orts to repair the property, which remains in a state of disrepair and has fallen into severe fi nancial troubles, including mechanics liens, back taxes and other unpaid debts. Deputy Fire Chief Paul Cheever, Revere’s Chief Fire Inspector, said, “The building continues to have ongoing public safety issues related to the fi re protection systems and safe building egress. At this point, we can no longer risk the safety of the residents of the property.” Conditions at 364 Ocean Ave. have deteriorated to the point that Water’s Edge had to be required to stop renting additional apartments, leaving the building more than half empty: The City of Revere estimates that approximately 40 units are currently occupied.

License Commission addresses residents’ noise complaints, parking issues Shirley Ave. restaurants hear complaints of late-night music, disrurbances By Barbara Taormina T he Licensing Commission, at their July meeting, reigned in several local businesses that appeared to be clashing with residents in surrounding neighborhoods.

COMPLETE! --------were ordered by the Commission to scale back hours of operation and hours of entertainment in the face of complaints from neighbors near both places that cited excessive noise, fi ghts, disorderly conduct, gluts of cars that take all residential parking and alleged drunken driving. Residents on Shirley Avenue say it’s impossible to sleep with the music coming from Lupita’s and with the noisy crowds that gather on the street and in the parking lot as they leave the restaurant. Several residents spoke to the Commission and stressed the neighborhood is home to many seniors, veterans and children whose lives are being disrupted by the late-night disturbances. Lupita’s owner said he is planning on insulating and soundproofing the building and he submitted an estimate for the work to the commission. He also said Lupita’s is not the only restaurant and bar in the Shirley Avenue neighborhood and patrons of other places are also taking parking spaces. But residents who live close to Lupita’s say they no longer feel safe coming home from work late at night and walking through aggressive crowds to get to their front doors. Commissioners felt Lupita’s, which was initially opened as a restaurant, had exceeded the limits of its license and was operating as a night club. Commission Chairman Robert Selevitch said had Lupita’s owners come before the commission to expand their entertainment license, he suggested he wasn’t sure it would be approved. “It’s gone too far,” said one neighbor who works at night in Boston and can never fi nd a parking space when he gets home. “The problem for Lupita’s is the noise never stops.” Lupita’s owner agreed to roll back the hours for music having it end at 11:30 pm and closing the doors at midnight. Commissioners encouraged the owner to live with the new hours for a couple of months and if all goes well, he can apply to extend those hours. A second hearing was held to discuss a set of similar complaints neighbors have made about La Hacienda on Revere Street. Residents complained not about the music of a mariachi band which plays until 11 pm, but about a disc jockey who takes over at 11 pm and pumps up the volume until 2 am. Revere Street residents also have the same problem with noisy late-night crowds and no parking left for homeowners and residents. The big diff erence between Lupita’s and La Hacienda is that the owners of La Hacienda have tried to work with the neighborhood to address concerns. But the Commission pointed out that the restaurant did not have an entertainment license for a DJ. La Hacienda agreed with the Commission that the quickest and easiest solution is to eliminate the DJ which would solve the noise and crowd issues. They also agreed to scale back closing times to 1 am and to return to the commission if they wanted to add a DJ with the proper license. The Commission also held a hearing on a complaint about serving customers past closing time at Capri on North Shore Road. But the complaint was a year old and the only complaint fi led against the restaurant. The owners said it was a mistake and they have been cautious ever since. The commission said the complaint would be kept on fi le and would return if there were any other problems. Commissioners acknowledged that some of these problems were crowd issues not the direct problem of the establishments. But residents argued that residential neighborhoods are not an appropriate site for a night club.

He was known for his unwavering commitment to hospitality and protecting people and assets at the hotel. He had meticulous attention to detail and was respected by his colleagues both at the hotel and within the city of Boston. Daryl’s colleagues admired him not just for his professionalism, but for his integrity, warmth, and straight-foward delivery. Beyond his work, Daryl was a lifelong fan of the Star Wars and Marvel Universes. He loved watching movies, and loved the anticipation of a new movie or book release. Daryl always had a book in his bag, and enjoyed reading science fi ction, fantasy, and detective fi ction. He was a skilled cook who loved experimenting in the kitchen, and some of his best dishes included jambalaya, salted-caramel brownies, and savory biscuits.

Callahan “The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign is an awareness effort to get the message out that drunk driving is illegal and it takes lives. Let’s make this a partnership between law enforcement and drivers: Help us protect the community and put an end to this senseless behavior.” Drivers should be safe during this Labor Day holiday by planning ahead if they intend to drink. They shouldn’t wait until after drinking to plan how to get home. Impairment clouds a person’s judgment. Drivers should secure a designated sober driver or call a taxi or rideshare for a sober ride home. If a driver fi nds they are unable to drive, they should give their keys to a sober driver so that person can get them home safely. When a friend has been drinking and is considering driving, friends should be proactive — take away the keys and help them get a sober ride home. If anyone spots a drunk driver, contact local law enforcement. For more information on impaired driving, visit www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunkdriving. Resilient Mystic Collaborative communities secure over $12M in Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Grants for climate resilience G overnor Maura Healey’s announcement of $52.4 million in FY2025 Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grants included just over $12 million in funding for community-designed projects to prevent harm to residents, workers and resources in Resilient Mystic Collaborative (RMC) cities and towns. Convened by 10 Mystic River watershed communities and the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) in September 2018 and now led by senior staff from 20 cities and towns and nongovernmental partners, the RMC designs and completes onthe-ground projects to protect our most vulnerable residents and public services from harm due to increasingly extreme weather. “The MVP program connects local leaders with state resources to protect our most vulnerable communities from extreme weather,” said Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “The Resilient Mystic Collaborative exemplifi es regional teamwork, demonstrating how collective eff orts can drive climate adaptation. We are proud to fund critical initiatives such as fl ood management, resilient community centers, and forest health. We’re proud to award the most funds in MVP history to such a strong set of projects.” These MVP grants bring the total resources secured for RMC climate resilient projects to nearly $140 million in state, federal and foundation grants since the voluntary partnership began. “What is extraorMYSTIC | SEE Page 7

We’ve seen their TV commercials and we have seen the work this organization out of Staten Island, NY has been and continues to do. Too often duty and sacrifi ce get forgotten. This organization has been there to help both fi rst responders and our military veterans. In their hour of need, we need to be there for them and one way to do it is to help organizations like the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. This past Saturday was a great day to gather together and have fun but also not to forget those who served and those who sacrifi ced their all and now could use our help. When people fall, we help them up. Kudos to Mottolo Post VFW 4524 helping to raise funds for this noble cause. We cannot forget. We won’t forget. MYSTIC | FROM Page 6 dinary is that about three quarters of all the funding we’ve secured are for regional projects,” said MyRWA’s Julie Wormser, who helps facilitate the RMC. “These are critical investments that communities can’t accomplish without partnering with their neighbors.” Multiple FY2025 MVP grants build on the accomplishments of prior successful proposals. By far the largest grant — the maximum $5 million allowed for regional projects — went to the Island End River coastal fl ood management project, a multiyear effort by Chelsea and Everett to protect environmental justice neighborhoods and critical regional infrastructure, including fruit and vegetable distribution for all of New England and the Canadian Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Shown from left, are, Isaac McDaniel, Revere Director of Veterans Services (center) with Sal Giarratani, left, and Michael Leonard from the Abraham Lincoln GAR Post 11 in Charlestown.

Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2024 Salary ranges will now be posted for most Mass. job listings, thanks to new law By Janice Jarosz A new law enacted last week will require most employers to provide a salary range, a move that Governor Maura T. Healey says protects wage equality for women and people of color. Most employers in Massachusetts are now required to post a job’s salary range under the legislation signed into law last week (July 31) by Governor Healey, a move advocates praised as a step toward wage equity. The law applies to public and private employers with A KEY CONTRIBUTOR: Former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy, co-chair of the Wage Equity Now Coalition, addressed the audience at the bill signing ceremony for the new Wage Equity Law last week.

Employees are also able to ask the salary range of current employees or people applying for the role, Healey’s offi ce announced. “I want to give a shout-out to former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy for her leadership over decades on this, and it’s a privilege to be able to sign this important bill for women’s equity,” Healey said. Murphy, who became the fi rst woman in Massachusetts to hold a constitutional offi ce while serving under Governor Michael Dukakis (1987 to 1991), is now co-chair of the Wage Equity Now Coalition. “Gender and racial wage gaps are real,” Murphy said in a statement. “They cause wealth gaps. With this legislation, Massachusetts claims lead position in building economic prosperity through equitable treatment of every worker.” The legislation requires public and private employers with 25 or more employees to disclose pay ranges in job postings, provide the pay range of a position to an employee who is off ered a promotion or transfer and, on request, provide the pay range to employees who already hold that position or are applying for it.

CREATE COMMISSION TO STUDY MISREPRESENTATION OF A SERVICE ANIMAL (H 4917) House 158-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would create a special commission to review current federal, state and local laws and procedures governing the use and misuse of service animals by individuals with disabilities in the Bay State. The commission would recommend the possible introduction of legislation prohibiting and civilly penalizing service animal fraud and determining the feasibility of certifi cation, registration or licensing of service animals. Supporters said that more than half the states in the nation already have laws prohibiting misuse of service animals. They argued it is time for Massachusetts to begin the step toward adopting a similar law. They noted that there are currently no penalties for people who misrepresent a non-service dog as being a service dog. Sponsor Rep. Kim Ferguson (R-Holden) did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to comment on passage of her bill. (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $7.5 MILLION FOR TOMORROW’S TEACHERS (H 4800) House 134-24, overrode Gov. Maura Healey’s veto of $7.5 million (reducing funding from $10 million to $2.5 million) for scholarship and loan repayment for students seeking a teaching degree in the state’s public colleges. The Senate did not act on the veto. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Healey in her veto message. “The amount as adjusted here, in combination with the available balance from fi scal year 2024, is suffi cient to meet projected demand and result in no reduction in fi scal year 2025 planned spending for this item.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $7.5 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $250,000 FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY (H 4800) House 154-4, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $250,000 for a grant program to school districts to support the implementation of financial literacy courses and standards for students in kindergarten to grade 12, including training and developing programs to assist teachers in incorporating appropriate fi nancial literacy concepts into classroom curriculum. The Senate did not act on the veto. “I am vetoing this item to an amount consistent with my House [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey. “Other sources of funding for fi nancial literacy appropriated in this budget will mitigate the eff ects of this veto.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes PARENTAGE EQUALITY (S 2906) Senate 40-0, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a bill that supporters say would ensure legal parentage equality by protecting LGBTQ+ families, and children born through surrogacy and assisted reproduction, in forming the legal bond of a parent-child relationship. They said the measure would dismantle archaic legal barriers to basic parenting responsibilities for modern families, opening the door to legally attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s fi - nances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. “Today we acted to ensure that if you are a parent, whether a biological parent or not, the law will recognize you as a parent just as society does,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary. “This bill will remove one of the last vestiges of the law that treats same sex parents and parents who engaged in assisted reproduction diff erently from every other parent. It is a good day for all families in Massachusetts.” “With unprecedented and alarming action in other states to strip away the rights of LGBTQ+ people and our families, Massachusetts’ outdated and heterocentric parentage laws put LGBTQ+ families at risk every day,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “The Massachusetts Parentage Act is personal—LGBTQ+ families like mine face excessive and expensive hoops just to ensure our children have the security of legal parentage. The Legislature’s passage of this bill is a critical step to guarantee that all children can benefi t from the stability of a legal parent-child relationship no matter how they came to be in this world.” (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes DOG KENNEL SAFETY — OLLIE’S LAW (S 2929) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that would allow the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for dog kennels in the Bay State, to ensure animal welfare, protect consumers and keep kennel staff safe. A person who violates the regulations would be fi ned $500 for a fi rst off ense and $1,000 for a second or subsequent offense. The House has already approved a diff erent version of the measure and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. Required regulations would include obtaining a license from the municipality, an annual inspection, dog to staff ratio specifi cations, injury reporting, indoor and outdoor physical facility requirements, insurance and minimal housing and care requirements. Supporters said that currently, the state has no oversight of dog daycare or boarding kennels. They argued it is estimated that a dog is injured or killed every 9 to 10 days in Massachusetts at these kennels. They noted that many families have suff ered the loss or injury of an animal at a dog daycare or kennel that could have been prevented by commonsense regulations over these facilities. The bill was fi led in memory of “Ollie,” a 7-month-old labradoodle who was attacked by other dogs at a boarding kennel in East Longmeadow. Ollie needed round-the-clock care and surgery and was in the hospital for two months before succumbing to his injuries. While the facility was shut down by town offi cials, Ollie’s owner Ann Baxter was stunned to learn that there were no state regulations regarding boarding facilities, and soon took up the fi ght to help ensure tragedies like this never happen again. “Pets are family who provide boundless love and aff ection that we are lucky to receive,” said Sen. Mark Montigny (DNew Bedford), Senate sponsor of the bill. “For this reason, it is critical that we ensure all businesses entrusted with the care of our family adhere to proper health and safety protocols no matter what town they operate in across the commonwealth. Too often, we have heard devastating stories of pets like Ollie who have been injured or killed due to negligent care. These people have no place caring for such precious creatures and it’s time that we implement consistent standards across Massachusetts.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL FISCAL 2025 STATE BUDGET (H 4800) — Gov. Healey, after vetoing several items, signed into law a $58 billion fiscal 2025 state budget for the fi scal year that began July 1, 2024. The price tag represents a 1.97 billion or 3.5 percent increase over last year’s fiscal 2024 budget. “Massachusetts is the leader in innovation and education, the best place to raise your family or grow a business,” said Healey. “But we also face challenges, so we aren’t resting — we’re going on offense. This budget delivers on our shared priorities and drives our state forward with urgency and purpose. It invests in areas that we are already leading on and makes them better — including our number 1 ranked schools and our nation-leading childcare strategy. We’re also tackling our biggest challenges by lowering household costs and improving transportation. We’re doing all of this responsibly, staying within our means and in line with the rate of infl ation.” “Once again, the Massachusetts budget is the latest state budget to pass in the country and once again, it’s the largest state budget in our commonwealth’s history,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “What should also concern every Massachusetts taxpayer is the fact that the Legislature and governor are spending over a billion dollars a year on the illegal and inadmissible migrants, which comes out to be about $3 million dollars a day. Every town and city in Massachusetts could use that money for their workers, schools and first responders but instead, Statehouse leaders are spending these valuable taxpayer resources on illegal and inadmissible migrants.” WAGE TRANSPARENCY (H 4890) — Gov. Healey signed into law a bill, named the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, in honor of the fi rst woman to serve as U.S. Labor Secretary. The measure would require employers with 25 or

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2024 Page 15 more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The measure also would require employers with 100 or more employees to fi le annual employment data reports, including information on employee demographics and salaries, with the state. “I have long supported wage equity legislation and, as attorney general, I was proud to work together with the business community to implement the 2016 Equal Pay Act,” said Gov. Healey. “This new law is an important next step toward closing wage gaps, especially for people of color and women. It will also strengthen the ability of Massachusetts employers to build diverse, talented teams.” “I am proud that we as a commonwealth are taking concrete and nation-leading steps to close long-standing gender and racial wage gaps that persist across our economy,” said Sen. Paul Feeney (DFoxborough) a lead supporter of the bill. “These gaps not only erode the integrity of work in the commonwealth but also continue to exacerbate an uneven economy for working people, especially women and people of color who have historically faced persistent and glaring inequities in the workplace. By bringing partners in labor, business and community together to establish common sense wage and workplace transparency, we will ensure Massachusetts can continue attracting and retaining diverse and skilled workers that enable our commonwealth to compete and thrive. With the signing of this bill, workers are empowered and businesses are supported.” $1.26 BILLION BOND FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (H 4889) — Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that would invest in information technology (IT) upgrades, improvements and new projects across state government. The measure authorizes $1.23 billion in bonded spending and $400 million in anticipated federal funds. “We’ve talked a lot about this administration’s desire to lean into applied artifi cial intelligence in ways that benefi t not only the way the state delivers services to residents and businesses, but also the way that our businesses and economic sector are able to thrive,” said Healey. “And we think that making applied AI a cornerstone of our economic development bill is really important. It’s further supported by this FutureTech Act.” “When it comes to advancing the delivery of government services for our residents and for our state and municipal workers, information technology opens that digital door to meet people where they are,” said Chief Information Offi cer and Technology Services Secretary Jason Snyder. “The impact of IT on the services the commonwealth provides cannot be overstated. To that end, we are already hard at work on many of the investments in this legislation.” DISABILITY PENSION FOR POLICE OFFICERS (H 2536) — Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would provide police offi cers who have suffered a violent act injury, 100 percent regular compensation and pension benefi ts, until they reach the age of mandatory retirement. Violent act injury is defi ned as “a serious and permanent personal bodily injury sustained as a direct and proximate result of a violent attack upon a person by means of a dangerous weapon, including a fi rearm, knife, automobile, explosive device or other dangerous weapon.” “Our first responders go above and beyond to keep our communities safe and respond to emergencies,” said Gov. Healey. “That’s why it’s critical that we support them when they experience emergencies of their own. This legislation ensures that fi rst responders who are injured in the line of duty have access to the pay and health care, including mental health care, that they need to support their families and their road to recovery.” Supporters said that under current law, a first responder forced to retire due to a violent act injury can only receive benefi ts through the local retirement board via the home rule legislative process. They said this process is onerous and has resulted in disparate benefi ts being granted on a case-by-case basis. “This legislation ensures that fi rst responders who are forced to retire due to a violent injury received in the line of duty do not struggle to make ends meet,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “Frankly, this cannot come soon enough. Recognizing the extreme burden placed on these fi rst responders and their families, mandating 100 percent compensation until retirement age is the right way to honor their service and sacrifi ce.” Rep. Steve Xiarhos (R-Barnstable) said workers who are the victims of traumatic events at work would also be eligible to receive certain mental health services to assist with their recovery. “The bill was inspired in part by several recent cases of fi rst responders who suff ered serious injuries in the line of duty, including retired Somerville Police Detective Mario Oliveira and Springfi eld Police Offi cer Nestor Santos,” said Xiarhos. BAN ELEPHANTS AND OTHER ANIMALS (H 4915) — The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Healey legislation that eff ective January 1, 2025, would ban elephants, bears, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs and other wild animals from being used in traveling circuses and other traveling shows in Massachusetts. Violators would be fi ned between $500 and $10,000. The ban would not apply to zoos or to performances that take place at other non-mobile, permanent facilities if the covered animal is a resident animal at the same facility in which the performance takes place. “We’re ecstatic that after so many years of advocating for the state to take a stance on the suff ering of animals, as well as the public health and safety risks. The bill to prohibit elephants, primates, bears, giraff es and big cats in traveling animal acts passed both chambers in the Legislature unanimously and is on the governor’s desk,” read a press release from the MSPCA. “This is truly a testament to the perseverance of advocates and legislators to speak for those who cannot. We’re optimistic that the governor will sign the bill and put an end to these archaic acts in our state.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We were absolutely thrilled to witness the signing of the bill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gov. Healey, our legislative champions, advocates and survivors from across the commonwealth. At a time when so many states are weakening their legislative responses to gun violence, we are so proud to see Massachusetts take this tremendous step forward. We are also so proud to have been a part of this advocacy every step of the way. This law ensures that Massachusetts will continue to lead the way, showing other states the impact and importance of taking a comprehensive approach to preventing gun violence.” --- Ruth Zakarin, CEO of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence on Gov. Healey signing the bill changing the state’s gun laws. “Massachusetts voters sent these elected offi cials to Beacon Hill to stand up for our health, to protect us from corporate greed and to safeguard our climate. On all counts, the Legislature has failed. Despite two years of mounting evidence from experts, advocates and offi cials in the Healey administration sending a clear signal that it’s time to move beyond gas, the House failed to adopt reasonable measures from the Senate to move the commonwealth off of gas.” --- Mark Dyen of Gas Transition Allies. “Egos may be bruised at the Statehouse, but taxpayers should be feeling pretty good right now. Legislative leaders did not get their way with a handful of pieces of legislation and the taxpaying residents of Massachusetts were the winners. MassFiscal is pleased to have played an important role this legislative session with a voice protecting the taxpayers. We are the fi rst and the last wall of resistance before another set of tax hike policies become law and we will not break. Our commitment lies with the taxpayers and we will continue to disrupt the plans of Statehouse leaders. --- Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Instead of letting fear or hate drive the narrative around immigrants, we need to embrace the facts: Immigrants without status contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in state and local tax dollars to our region, fueling the services so many of us depend on. Granting those without status work authorization is a common-sense reform that would dramatically increase tax revenues, while helping immigrants feel more safe and welcome in the state and nation they already contribute so much to.” --- Elizabeth Sweet, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition, citing a study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy showing that Immigrants without status contributed nearly $650 million in state and local taxes to Massachusetts in 2022. “Since October 7th, antisemitism has skyrocketed across the country and continues to spread through our Massachusetts communities and institutions. Schools have posed a special area of concern, as eff orts continue to inject anti-Israel and anti-Jewish content into curricula. In a strong demonstration of leadership and support for the Jewish community, several Massachusetts legislators took initiative to ensure Massachusetts confronts this dangerous hate.” ---From a statement by the American Jewish Committee New England on a section in the recently approved state budget that establishes a Special Commission for Addressing Antisemitism, and prompts the creation of curricula, resources and professional development opportunities to support antisemitism education. 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 latenight 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 July 29-August 2. the House met for a total of 34 hours and 8 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 36 hours and 32 minutes. Mon.

Massachusetts is not alone — U.S. offi cials have described older Americans as facing a behavioral health crisis. As part of its ongoing eff orts to support emotional well-being during the aging journey, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) was awarded a $150,000 grant from the state’s Behavioral Health Outreach for Aging Populations (BHOAP) program. “Behavioral health conditions skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those issues didn’t simply vanish when quarantine was lifted, especially for our community’s aging population, who are more likely to remain socially isolated,” observed MVES CEO Lisa Gurgone. “We’re proud to receive the BHOAP grant, which will help our team support those who are in critical need of care.” Central to the behavioral health crisis is the need for treatment. While an estimated one in four older Americans has a behavioral health condition not associated with normal aging, less than 33 percent of this population receives services to address their diagnosis. Within Massachusetts, BHOAP aims to address this problem. SPORTS | FROM Page 11 back to the Boston area next month for the second annual #spreadingORANGE MS4MS charity event of which Dario is its director. It will be held at Fenway Park on Saturday, Sept. 21 in conjunction with the Red Sox game that day against the Minnesota Twins. “Two of my college teammates — Mark Heil and Harrison Slutsky — work in the Red Sox front offi ce, so they made the intros and connections to the right people to get this thing going,” said Pizzano. “We have a live link (https://ms4ms. org/spreadingorange-dayat-fenway-park-2024/) to buy tickets for the section next to More than half of those enrolled in home care programs at MVES reported having a behavioral health diagnosis, and MVES has identifi ed an increase in diagnoses over the past decade. The BHOAP grant enables MVES to build on its existing outreach eff orts and work to overcome barriers to care, including: • Coping with other chronic illnesses and physical frailty • Transportation limitations • Cost of care • Social isolation • Technological barriers • Cultural differences in approaches to behavioral care • Societal and/or generational stigma “Stigma is a major obstacle to any individual receiving treatment, but it can be a barrier that’s especially difficult for the aging population,” explained MVES Director of Clinical Services Lisa Felci Jimenez. “People dismiss these issues by saying, you’re just lonely or you just worry too much. Part of our team’s mission is to overcome these misconceptions and ensure people receive the care they need. Depression and anxiety are not an inevitable part of the aging process.” MVES has provided access to behavioral health services through its Complex Care team since 2005. The BHOAP grant empowers MVES to expand its the Sam Adams lounge, and are hoping to get 300-plus attendees to go there this year. “We raise the most money through corporate sponsorships,” added Pizzano, “and at this year’s event we are also partnering with another charity — Morgan’s Message. Morgan’s Message is an organization that helps advocate and raise funds for those struggling to adjust to normal life after their athletic careers are over.” Dario mentioned that Pete Maki, the Twins pitching coach, is also helping out with the onfield batting practice passes for sponsors and those who are battling MS, before the Sept. 21 game.

The Complex Care team focuses on increasing access to home- and community-based counseling to address a wide range of issues, including hoarding, depression, anxiety, adjustment to loss, substance abuse and more. They develop a personalized plan for each individual, connecting them to the care they need and monitoring each case over time. By working closely with other departments at MVES, the team ensures the individual receives any other support they need, such as transportation assistance or social engagement. The Complex Care team also off ers bilingual support and works to build awareness and partnership throughout the community. “Our team ensures health providers and community organizations are aware that MVES offers a range of services to support aging and that behavioral health is a key part of our offerings,” explained MVES Complex Care Team Manager Jennifer Shacklewood. “We want to improve that 33 percent of older adults who are receiving the treatment they need. The best way to do that is together, as a community.” when Pizzano was a Lion. Danielle Stein, another MS Warrior ambassador, who is in sports broadcasting after serving an internship with the Red Sox, is working on getting the organizers to appear on the NESN broadcast during the game to further promote the charity. For the game, the Red Sox are providing custom-made caps, with an orange “B” Red Sox logo and the charity’s emblem embroidered on the back of it. Pizzano hopes this year’s Fenway charity event raises between $40,000 to $50,000 for MS. For more information on the charity, go to the MS4MS website at https://ms4ms.org. Revere

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2024 Page 17 MYSTIC | FROM Page 7 tic communities has been to reinforce critical facilities that serve priority populations: residents and workers disproportionately aff ected by extreme weather. Medford and Somerville are working regionally to develop a network of resilient community centers that can provide on-going public services (e.g., afterschool programs and food pantries) while providing food and shelter during heat waves and extreme storms. “These projects are examples of how benefi cial it has been to have municipal and environmental justice nonprofi t staff working together,” said GreenRoots’ Director of Climate Justice & Waterfront Initiatives, John Walkey. “Every year we are getting better and better choosing and designing projects with and for the people who need our work most.” The Town of Reading submitted a regional grant to help 17 communities stormproof key community facilities. The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) is sponsoring a regional pilot program to understand how best governments can communicate with hard-to-reach vulnerable residents — like unhoused or socially isolated people — before and during extreme weather. “With one of the hottest summers on record we’re excited to continue to advance local and regional preparedness for extreme heat in the lower Mystic,” said MAPC Principal Planner Sasha Shyduroff . “This $490,813 grant will fund critical partnerships between municipalities, public health, and community-based organizations to develop culturally relevant communications and strategies to talk about extreme heat.” RMC communities are also increasingly investing in healthy open space and urban trees. Cambridge is sponsoring a regional grant to increase forest health across the Mystic River Watershed, and Medford is drawing up a resilient urban forest plan. Watertown, Everett, Arlington, Chelsea and Malden secured funds for community-designed public cooling solutions. “Wicked Cool Mystic--Súper Fresco Místico is a $687,000 grant for Everett, Arlington, Chelsea, and Malden to implement community-designed outdoor cooling solutions,” said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “Our last grant asked people what they most wanted; this funding lets us follow through on their requests.” “These grants use state resources, municipal support, and community leadership to bring resources to the people who suff er most during heatwaves,” said Everett Community Growers’ Civic Engagement and Advocacy Manager, Nicole Fina. “I look forward to working with the City and with residents to help implement the outdoor cooling solutions they chose for their communities.” Finally, communities are working to manage fl ooding from intense rainstorms and higher seas. Stoneham is restoring a freshwater wetland to improve fl ooding and habitat near its high school, while Boston and Revere are partnering to manage coastal fl ooding into neighborhoods around Belle Isle Marsh. “Revere is eager to continue to work with the Boston Planning Department on the regional fl ood risk reduction planning for Bennington Street/Fredricks Park and adjacent neighbors and businesses,” said Revere’s Open Space and Environmental Planner, Elle Baker. “Using FY24 MVP funds we were able to conduct a thorough alternatives analysis. This follow-on grant will let us select the most eff ective alternative and deliver benefi cial resiliency and outdoor recreation to our communities.” More about the Mystic River watershed The 76-square-mile Mystic River watershed stretches from Reading through the northern shoreline of Boston Harbor to Revere. “Mystic” is an Anglicized version of the Pequot word missi-tuk (“large rivCall today and r FREE SHOWER PLUS $1600 OFF 1-844-609-1066 With purchase of a new Safe Step Walk-In Tub.

Now the Mystic is one of New England’s most densely populated, urbanized watersheds. The Mystic is facing growing climate-related challenges: coastal and stormwater fl ooding, extreme storms, heat, drought and unpredictable seasonal weather. The watershed is relatively low-lying and extensively developed, making it prone to both freshwater and coastal fl ooding. Its 21 municipalities are home to 600,000 residents, including many who are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme weather: environmental justice communities, new Americans, residents of color, elders, low-income residents and employees, people living with disabilities and English language learners.
