Vol. 34, No.45 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday Cicatelli’s 101st L ou Cicatelli netted Win No. 100 for his Revere High School football team last week. Win No. 101 was even better, he said. And no one will fault him for thinking that way. Revere’s fi rst win over Everett since 1991 ended a 33-year drought against the powerhouse program. The Patriots triumphed 42-18 in an unforgettable performance last Friday night on the road — giving Cicatelli his 101st victory, the team’s fourth in a row and one big, slammed door on four decades of futility against the Crimson Tide. The victory not only marked Revere’s fourth straight win but also secured Cicatelli’s fi rst victory over Everett (3-5) in his 22-year coaching career. “I’m not going to lie. Win No. 101 was a lot sweeter. It was a super, super mighty efwin shatters 33-year drought as Revere stuns Everett By Dom Nicastro fort from our players,” Cicatelli said. “We got momentum early, and we really never looked back. To say I’m proud of the kids, it’s an understatement. It’s probably one of the biggest wins in my career.” Despite winning its fourth straight and smoking a Division 1 team, Revere (4-4) fell shy of making the postseason. The Patriots fi nished No. 22 in Division 3. The Patriots needed to be in the top 16. Lynn English, which beat Revere earlier this season, took the 16th and fi nal spot. Cicatelli acknowledged the disappointment of falling short of the postseason but emphasized the team’s resilience. “All that good stuff happening, we thought we were in for sure,” he said. “I’m surprised we didn’t get more points for that. But the kids know what they did, and they know what they have a chance to do, and that’s win out and get to a 7-4 record. That would be a great year for us.” Seven straight to close out the season? It sure would. That team that lost four straight to open the season? Long gone. If they get more performances like they did individually — and as a team — against Everett, winning out is certainly not out of the question. Geovani Woodard ran for more than 200 yards, had another 60 catching the ball and had three touchdown receptions from Danny Hou. The Patriots set the tone early, taking advantage of Everett’s mistakes and executing on key plays to establish a commanding lead. Quarterback Hou got things started with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Woodard on fourth down, threading a pass under pressure to give Revere WIN | SEE Page 5 781-286-8500 Friday, November 8, 2024 Revere voters follow lead of Mass. electorate in Presidential vote By Barbara Taormina R evere voters came out strong for Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential election casting 9,556 ballots or 52 percent of the total compared to former President Donald Trump’s 8,055 votes or nearly 44 percent of the vote according to the election department’s unoffi cial results.

Given the community’s vocal opposition to the cannabis industry and the council’s reverence for civic engagement, a phone call to ensure residents had the information needed to voice their opinions seemed like a piece of regular housekeeping. But the council voted 9 to 1 against the proposal with only Kelley voting in favor of her own motion. When she fi rst proposed the robo call, several councillors raised the question of cost. That led Kelley to dive into the economics. As it turns out, the city has an $18,000 robo call contract which gets Revere 18 robo calls. Kelley said that in 2024, there have been 16 robo calls so there’s room for a marijuana call. But councillors had other objections. Councillor-AtLarge Anthony Zambuto, a self-described stickler for rules, said he opposed the motion because it ran afoul of council procedure although he was not specifi c on how the motion skirted the rules. Council President Anthony Cogliandro said that while he initially supported the motion, he has since come to believe that the mandated robo call could be opening a Pandora’s box that could interfere with future council business.

Keefe, Jr. are proud to announce multiple successful contract negotiations with union partners in Revere.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2024 DCR Unveils Transformation of Revere’s Sullivan Park $3.5 million project turns underutilized baseball fi eld into vibrant park with game tables, bocce courts, walking paths, and open lawn Special to Th e Advocate R EVERE — The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) today unveiled the results of a nearly $3.5 million transformation of Sullivan Park, turning an underutilized little league baseball fi eld, into a vibrant recreational hub. The revitalization of Sullivan Park represents a signifi cant investment in the well-being of the community, creating dynamic outdoor spaces for residents of all ages. “Sullivan Park has a rich history in Revere from a former little league fi eld, a place to eat a slice of Bianchi’s pizza, and now as a revitalized hub of activity for the community,” said DCR Commissioner Brian Arrigo. “As a former Oak Island kid, I know fi rsthand how critical the investments we’ve made in this park are to Revere families and seniors, providing a space for safe recreation and better connecting the neighborhood with the beach. I look forward to bringing my family here and trying out the new game tables with my kids.” “We are thrilled to have a revitalized open space in Revere, one that serves the diverse needs of residents and visitors from all ages and backgrounds,” said Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe. “Green spaces like Sullivan Park help generate community and a sense of belonging, whether it is fun or relaxation that visitors seek.

This addition to Revere’s waterfront will be a staple for generations to come. We can’t thank our DCR and its leadership enough for this worthy investment in Revere.” The Sullivan Park improvement project evolved from its initial vision as a senior-focused space to a community gathering place for residents of all ages and abilities. The newly improved park features a range of diverse recreational opportunities designed to enhance the visitor experience and promote outdoor activities. Key features include a welcoming plaza with shaded seating, game tables, bocce courts, and walking paths. Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy new exercise equipment, while families and other visitors can take advantage of a spacious open lawn perfect for picnics and gatherings. A newly installed shade shelter provides a cool spot for relaxation, and a water feature will off er fun and relief during the warmer spring and summer months. Additionally, the park incorporates native vegetation to enhance the area and promote climate resilience. These features create an inviting space for the community to enjoy for years to come. “I am proud to see Sullivan Park transformed into a vibrant community hub that offers something for everyone. This project is an incredible investment in the health and well-being of our residents, bringing outdoor recreation opportunities to families, seniors, and children alike,” said DCR UNVEILS | SEE Page 6
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2024 Page 5 WIN | FROM Page 1 an 8-0 lead after connecting with freshman Charles Dobre for the two-point conversion. Moments later, Revere recovered an Everett fumble on the kickoff , and Mario Ramirez capped off the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run, followed by his own two-point conversion to make it 16-0. Cicatelli’s decision to go for the kind of kicks from Joel Vasquez that favor unpredictability vs. length proved crucial in maintaining momentum. “We worked at that so hard every week, probably too much to be honest,” Cicatelli said. “We just tried our best to take chances. No one’s really beat [Everett] for a long time, and we did that. So, we kept onside kicking, and Joel Vasquez got really good at it. It definitely put momentum in our favor.” Hou, who has been instrumental in Revere’s four-game win streak, delivered another standout performance, adding a second touchdown pass to Woodard in the second quarter—a 16-yard strike that extended the lead to 22-6 just before halftime. In the third quarter, Hou and Woodard connected again, this time on a 33-yard screen pass that found the end zone on a fourth-down play, pushing Revere’s lead to 28-12.

Benhamou later capped the night with a 5-yard touchdown run for a 42-12 lead. Revere’s linemen — Silvio Neto, Charles Dobre, Joel Vasquez, Adam Metawea and Louis Forte — were opening holes for the skilled players bigger than when ambulances clear roadways on Broadway. For the players, this was a win to remember. Think about it: most of the 90s, all of the 2000s, all of the 2010s and almost half of the 2020s: no victories over Everett, all while the Crimson Tide cruise to Greater Boston League and Super brother, Peter, to occupational cancer when he was just 37 years old. “On behalf of the Lynn Fire Department, I want to urge all our brother and sister fi refi ghters in the area to come out and get screened,” said Lynn Fire Chief Daniel Sullivan. “We’re especially encouraging retirees to attend. Do it for yourself, do it for your family, but just do it — the worst cancer diagnosis is a late one.” The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated fi refi ghting as a Group 1 occupation, meaning that it is carcinogenic to humans. The International Association of Fire Fighters reported that 72% of member deaths in 2023 were due to occupational cancer. Firefi ghters are more likely to develop cancer Bowl titles (12 between 1997 and 2017) in a run perhaps like no other in Massachusetts high school football. Woodard described the experience as “an overwhelming mix of relief, disbelief, and pure joy” after beating a team that has dominated Revere for decades. “So although we didn’t make playoff s, the win against Everett is an achievement me and my teammates will forever carry on, and to me that is much bigger than making the playoff s,” he added. Hou, who threw multiple touchdown passes and kept the off ense moving all night, echoed the sentiment. “It made us feel great. It was one of the best feelings ever,” than the public they protect, more likely to develop it earlier in life, and more likely to die as a result. To address this serious occupational hazard, the Department of Fire Services works with volunteers and contracted vendors to provide cancer screenings for Massachusetts fi refi ghters. In addition to the skin cancer screenings, firefi ghters may also be eligible for free chest CT scans, PSA blood tests, mammograms, and ultrasounds. More information is available https:// www.mass.gov/occupationalcancer-in-the-fi re-service “These screenings are in place to protect firefighters from a serious occupational hazard,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Don’t take a chance with cancer. Take advantage of our program today.” he said. “We started off the season 0-4, then we win four games straight, beating Everett. Even though we didn’t make the playoff s, it was still such a great feeling knowing how far we came through the season, and it shows how hard we worked to get here.” Benhamou was equally thrilled to be part of the historic victory. “Honestly it felt great to beat Everett,” he said. “It was a great experience with the team to end the 30-year streak and to get Cic his fi rst win against them. We put the work in throughout practice, and it showed on Friday night. Unfortunately we didn’t make the playoff s, but I am glad to see the team improve throughout the season, and I hope we can continue to keep the winning streak throughout our next games.” Despite missing the Division 3 playoff s, the Patriots are riding high with renewed confi - dence. With Boston Latin up next on the road (Friday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m.), the Patriots aim to keep the momentum going and fi nish the season strong, building toward their traditional Thanksgiving matchup with Winthrop—a game now packed with added excitement. “It was almost like, ‘Pinch me. Am I really living this right now?’” Cicatelli refl ected on the Everett win. “Everett’s a powerhouse, and we were able to fi - nally beat them. It was surreal.” Lawrence A.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2024 Page 7 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ Trump Beats Harris, US Senate Goes Republican, US House Is Close, Deaton Gets Whipped by Warren Getting Only 33 Percent By Sal Giarratani “I will not let you down.” These were the words spoken by President-Elect Donald Trump on Tuesday evening. In all transparency, I have now voted for Donald Trump three times now but this week’s election results did not surprise me. Kamala Harris who was handpicked by Democrat bigwigs to replace President Biden in the election in hindsight looks like a bad political move. I believe Biden might in fact have been a stronger candidate going up against Trump. As an enrolled unenrolled voter, I felt good the morning after the election. Driving to work, the sky was blue, the sun shining and the temperature rising. Like how I felt in 1980 when Ronald Reagan defeated President Jimmy Carter, this election feels like Morning in America all over again. The results proved that most voters understood they were better off four years ago rather than today’s reality. Republicans are looking good on Capitol Hill, winning the upper body while the US House majority is still not official as of November 6 but the GOP is looking like it may hold onto the majority when all the smoke clears. President-elect Donald Trump did quite well in Massachusetts, too, getting approximately 36 percent of the state vote against Harris. Former US Senator Kelly Ayotte beat former Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig in the N.H. Governor’s Race replacing outgoing Gov. Chris Sununu. Ballot questions in Massachusetts showed that State Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s ballot question to audit the state legislature won a majority vote. Will the Legislature push back on the people’s passage of Question 1? Voters chose a Yes vote on 2 and ended the MCAS tests as a high school requirement. The people have spoken, our choices made and our electoral system worked well this time around. Finally, I say shame on the state media lapdogs working in cohorts with Democrats and providing endless disinformation to the voting public. It didn’t work, the People won. God bless the USA; God bless our soonto-be 47th President Donald Trump. Let the good times roll. Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2024 ~REVERE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP~ By Dom Nicastro NEW MASS ESTATE TAX EXEMPTION AND FILING THRESHOLD T he Masachusetts State Legislature increased the estate tax exemption to $2million effective for decedents dying on or after January 1, 2023, pursuant to Mass General Laws Chapter 50, Sections 36 and 37. Under the prior law, the estate tax exemption was only $1million. Under the prior law, if the descedent had a gross estate of $1,750,000 and then gave away $800,000 prior to dying, then the federal gross estate would be reduced to $950,000. Although the remaining gross estate of $950,000 was less than the $1million filing threshold, the $800,000 in gifts would reduce the filing threshold to $200,000 ($1million minus $800,000). The $200,000 became the adjusted filing threshold. Since the remaining gross estate of $950,000 exceeds the $200,000, an estate tax return would have to be fi led. The good news is that only the remaining gross estate of $950,000 would have been subject to the Massachusetts estate tax. The bad news was that all of the $950,000 would have been subject to the estate tax based upon the tax table found in the IRS instructions for the computation of the state death tax credit found in Table B of the Form 706 fi ling instructions (1999 Revision), the basis of how the Massachusetts estate tax is calculated to this day. The new Massachusetts estate tax provisions eliminate this adjusted fi ling threshold dilemma. As long as the gross estate is less than $2million, no estate tax return is required to be fi led, irrespective of any gifts made prior to death. Furthermore, if the gross estate is $3million, the fi rst $2million is totally tax free. The Massachusetts estate tax on $2million is $99,600. Our state legislature has provided for a maximum tax credit equal to exactly $99,600. Therefore, only the gross estate in excess of $2million is subject to estate tax in Massachusetts. Granted, the beginning tax bracket will be 8%. As an example of how to apply the new Mass estate tax, assume a decedent has an estate valued at $3million. He gives away $1.1million prior to death leaving him with a gross estate at death of $1,900,000. Since $1,900,000 is less than $2million, there is no Massachusetts estate tax return necessary to be fi led. Taxpayers should at least realize that it might very well make sense to make a completed gift of bank account monies, for example, to children or to certain irrevocable trusts in order to remove such assets from the taxable estate. With bank accounts, we are not concerned with achieving the so-called step-up in cost basis equal to the date of death value, as we would be concerned with appreciated assets such as real estate or a stock portfolio. In fact, any asset that has not appreciated in value could be given away prior to death to minimize or eliminate the Mass estate tax. Joseph D.

Revere boys soccer prepares for Bedford clash after gritty playoff win The Revere High School boys soccer team continues to make waves this season, capping off its regular season with a strong 12-2-2 record and earning the No. 9 seed out of 38 teams in the Division 2 MIAA tournament. The Patriots’ blend of off ensive fi repower and defensive resilience set the stage for their postseason campaign, which began with a hardfought 2-1 victory over No. 24 East Longmeadow. Revere’s opening playoff match on Nov. 4 showcased their trademark determination and skill. Senior forward Patrick Valentim played a pivotal role, scoring both goals to secure the 2-1 win. Valentim’s precision and poise were on full display as he capitalized on two assists from Angel Ortez, whose creative playmaking once again highlighted his importance to the Patriots’ attack. Ortez, who has been a standout player all season with his ability to contribute goals and assists, found Valentim in space twice to create scoring opportunities that proved decisive. The Patriots’ defensive unit limited East Longmeadow’s scoring chances and held strong after conceding one goal. This collective defensive eff ort has been a hallmark of Revere’s season, contributing to their low average of goals WILDLAND | FROM Page 2 200 — an increase of about 1,200% over the average, and higher than the monthly numbers usually seen in the traditional early spring brush fi re season. Of these fi res, 100 were reported over the last seven days, and preliminary information indicates that all of them started with human activity. “More than a quarter of this year’s brush and wildland fi res took place in October,” said Chief Fire Warden David Celino of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & allowed per game. Revere’s regular season showcased their versatility and depth. With a 12-2-2 record, they demonstrated their off ensive might. Here are some statistics from the 2024 season: Team statistics: • Average goals per game: 2.47 • Average allowed goals per game: 1.18 Top fi ve goal scorers: 1. Angel Ortez: 11 goals 2. Patrick Valentim: 10 goals 3. Santiago Velez: 6 goals 4. Francisco Navarette: 4 goals 5. Jeremy Romero: 3 goals Top 5 assist leaders: 1. Francisco Navarette: 6 assists 2. Angel Ortez: 5 assists 3. Brayan Medina: 4 assists 4. Santiago Velez: 3 assists 5. Patrick Valentim: 2 assists The leadership from key players like Valentim and Ortez has been pivotal, as has the consistency of playmakers such as Francisco Navarette, who contributed signifi cantly in both scoring and assists. The Patriots’ ability to turn matches around and close out games has been a marked improvement from previous years. Coach Manny Lopes’ tactical adjustments, such as strategic formation changes and lineup rotations, kept the team competitive even in their toughest matchups. Revere’s next test comes against the No. 8 seed Bedford Buccaneers, a team that fi nished their regular season with a 4-5-8 record but proved their mettle with a 1-0 win Recreation. “They accounted for more than half of the 1,158 acres burned so far this year. The weather conditions and dry surface fuels that have contributed to these fast-moving fi res are expected to continue in the days ahead. Any outdoor fi re will grow quickly, become diffi cult to control, and require numerous fi refi ghting resources.” “About 45% of Massachusetts homes are in or near wooded areas at risk for brush and wildland fi res,” said State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine. “In the current fi re weather enviover Sharon to kick off their postseason. The Patriots will travel to Bedford on Thursday, Nov. 7, for a 7 p.m. showdown. Revere volleyball ends season with postseason loss Revere suff ered a 3-0 loss at Essex Tech in the opening round of the Division 2 MIAA volleyball tournament. The Patriots were the No. 40 seed out of 40 teams, while Essex Tech was No. 25. Revere ended the regular season 10-10. That is a huge turnaround from a two-win season the year before. Coach Emilie Hostetter on the loss to Essex Tech: “The girls started really strong playing with them the fi rst set, but Essex Tech took the set in the last few points. It was great to get the team tournament experience, so that we can come back even stronger next year.” Senior Danna Canas had four kills and Dayana Ortega had three kills. Libero Samantha Indorato had three aces and 11 digs. Senior Captain Lea Doucette had two blocks. Revere girls soccer falls in tourney opening round Revere’s girls soccer team ended a fi ne campaign with a 5-0 loss to Foxborough in the opening round of the Division 3 MIAA girls soccer tourney. Revere was ranked 43rd out of 44 teams. Foxborough was ranked 22. The Patriots, under fi rst-year coach Ariana Rivera, fi nished the regular season 9-7. ronment, any significant fire could put people and property in danger. In fact, many of them have started with activity around the house, like outdoor cooking and using lawn tractors and other power equipment.” “Battling wildland fi res is labor-intensive, time-consuming, resource-heavy work for our fi refi ghters,” said Foxborough Fire Chief Michael D.

We’re asking all our residents to help us help them by refraining from any activity that could involve sparks, fl ames, and heat sources outdoors.” Fire offi cials are asking residents to: • Remember that open burning is prohibited statewide through January and in many communities year-round. • Refrain from outdoor cooking and heating. Sparks and embers from chimineas, fi re pits, and grills can easily ignite dry vegetation, debris, and overhanging branches. • Use caution with lawnmowers, leaf blowers, all-terrain vehicles, and other power equipment. Hot engines, sparks, and spilled gasoline can ignite dry leaves and grass. • Dispose of ashes from fireplaces and wood stoves in a metal can, douse them with water, and cover them with a tight-fi tting lid. These ashes can remain hot enough to ignite combustibles long after the fi re goes out: never dump them outdoors or in the trash. • Extinguish smoking materials in a sturdy ashtray with water or sand. Never toss cigarette butts, matches, or other smoking materials over the edge of a balcony, stub them out on stairs or railings, or toss them in dry vegetation or debris. Weather conditions statewide place all Massachusetts communities at elevated risk of brush fi res. Many of these fi res could spread to or from residential areas. Residents should monitor fi re conditions closely and follow instructions from local public safety offi cials. Ensure that Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are enabled on your cell phone. If your community has a local alert system, sign up to receive local warnings. Residents should also be aware of heavy smoke conditions in some areas, which could pose health hazards to vulnerable populations and limited visibility on some roadways. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has compiled resources [https://www.mass.gov/ info-details/climate-fact-sheetwildfi re-smoke-events] designed to help residents, patients, and health professionals navigate the health risks associated with wildfire smoke. Smoke could also pose driving hazards: motorists should always use caution when operating in limited visibility.

Maura Healey. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. $2.5 MILLION FOR PROGRAMS TO TREAT PRISONERS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS (H 4800) House 133-25, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $2.5 million for a prison program to treat prisoners, suff ering from serious mental illness, with clinically appropriate long-acting injectable medications. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $2.5 million was eliminated. “I am vetoing this item due to the availability of alternative resources,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “This operating funding overlaps with alternative funding intended to support this purpose.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $2.5 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $750,000 FOR THE TRANSFORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT FUND (H 4800) House 134-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $750,000 (reducing funding from $1 million to $250,000) for the Transformative Development Fund which is designed to accelerate economic development in focused districts that are walkable and have dense environments; and that have the potential to attract investment, inspire a wave of growth and transform Gateway Cities and beyond. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $750,000 was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to an amount consistent with my [budget] recommendation due to the availability of alternative resources,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “MassHousing will maximize available alternative capital funding in the fi scal year 2025 Capital Investment Plan for the Neighborhood Hub Program that will serve the same purpose as the funding being vetoed.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $750,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $300,000 FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS MANUFACTURING EXTENSION PARTNERSHIP (H 4800) House 156-2, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $300,000 (reducing funding from $2 million to $1.7 million) for the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership to maintain and promote manufacturing as an integral part of the economy, and for programs designed to assist small and mid-sized manufacturing companies. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $300,000 was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to an amount consistent with my [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. (A “Yes” vote is for the $300,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS (H 4918) — The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would require health insurance companies to provide coverage for diagnostic examinations for breast cancer, digital breast tomosynthesis screening and medically necessary and appropriate screening with breast magnetic resonance imaging. Supporters noted that although access to routine preventive screening mammograms is currently covered under the Affordable Care Act, this legislation would go further and require coverage for certain screenings and exams currently not uniformly covered by law. “I am grateful to see this legislation, which I have worked on for nearly a decade, move forward,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (DSalem). “Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. This legislation makes those diagnostic exams used for early detection accessible and aff ordable, giving women the vital resources needed to catch breast cancer in its earliest stages. With this bill we are bolstering the commonwealth’s commitment to providing higher quality, more equitable and more accessible healthcare for women.” “We know that in the fight against cancer, early detection is absolutely vital for the long-term success of the patients,” said Sen. Michael Rush (D-Boston). “We also know that for one out of every ten women, initial mammogram screenings are not sufficient to detect possible indicators of breast cancer. This legislation passed by the Senate … ensures that all women in the commonwealth have access to the digital breast tomosynthesis and MRI screening they need to catch cancer early without facing fi nancial barriers.” DOWN SYNDROME (S 617) — The Senate approved and sent to the House legislation that would require health insurance companies to provide coverage for the treatment of Down syndrome through speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and applied behavior analysis services. “Every child deserves a fair shot at learning, growing and thriving in their community—and that includes children with Down syndrome,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Provincetown). “Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy has proven transformative for so many, yet too often, access to this essential support is out of reach for those who need it most. By ensuring insurance coverage for at-home ABA therapy, this legislation will make a powerful diff erence for families across the commonwealth, lifting a burden that has existed for too long. It’s about time we make this goldstandard care accessible to all, so every child has the chance to realize their fullest potential.” An estimated 5,000 people in Massachusetts live with Down syndrome. According to studies performed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, speech therapy intervention improved decoding skills for word reading and had a positive impact on articulation in children with Down syndrome. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY TO OVERSEE ELECTION DAY PROBLEMS — Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy appointed Assistant United States Attorney Lucy Sun as the District Election Officer who will oversee the handling of election day criminal complaints, threats of violence to election offi cials or staff and election fraud eff orts. “Every citizen must be able to vote without fear, intimidation or interference and to have that vote counted in a fair and free election,” said Levy. “Similarly, election offi cials and staff must be able to serve without being subject to unlawful threats of violence. The Department of Justice will always work tirelessly to protect the integrity of the election process.” Anyone who sees a problem can call Levy’s offi ce in Boston at (833) 634-8669. $24.6 MILLION TO IMPROVE FOOD SECURITY AND RESILIENCY — The Healey administration announced $24.6 million in grants to 163 Massachusetts food system enterprises to help sustain Massachusetts’ food production and distribution sectors. “Our food system is an integral part of our economy, our landscape, our culture and public health,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “These investments will help ensure that farmers, fi shers, schools, distributors and other stakeholders can continue to produce food and that all Massachusetts residents rely on.” “As food producers face growing threats from climate change, the [grant] program helps farmers and fi shers build resilience so that they can adapt,”?said Massachusetts Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Rebecca Tepper.?“From changing weather patterns to new invasive species to worker health concerns, our food producers must constantly innovate to remain sustainable, and we are proud to help them do so.”? “As we learned from the COVID pandemic, food insecurity is a real problem in the commonwealth for too many families, said Chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “I have made addressing this disparity a priority

Healey announced the awarding of federal funds to 56 nonprofi ts that are at heightened risk of an extremist attack in the Bay State. “These faith-based and community nonprofits play such a critical role in our communities, and we are proud to deliver this funding that will help them implement security measures to keep their residents safe and ensure peace of mind,” said Gov. Healey. “We’re grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration for making this funding available to ensure these organizations can continue to serve those who depend on them, without fear or interruption.” “Protecting our communities means safeguarding the organizations that uplift, support and inspire us daily,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “This funding reaffi rms our commitment to protecting these essential community spaces, ensuring they remain safe havens where people of all backgrounds can gather and feel secure.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We are asking for the ability to form a committee to start a captive insurance plan or start a plan that would allow us to get assistance to fi x these foundations. We are mirroring a plan that’s already in place and working in the state of Connecticut. They’ve replaced over 1,000 homes. They use a $1 a month surcharge on homeowners’ policies, no more than $12 a year. The fi rst year alone, if we were able to put that together in Massachusetts, we’d raise close to $22 million.” ---Cynthia Poirier, an assessor in Brimfi eld and Holland, urging Gov. Healey to issue an executive order to create a committee to develop recommendations on providing assistance to the many Bay State homeowners dealing with crumbling concrete foundations, caused by pyrite or pyrrhotite minerals, which could eventually render their houses unlivable. “The Healey-Driscoll Administration recognizes the importance of providing support to homeowners whose concrete foundations are crumbling. We will continue to work together with our partners in the Legislature to evaluate potential solutions that would provide relief to homeowners.” ---Karissa Hand, spokesperson for Gov. Healey, responding to a State House News Service question asking whether the governor is willing to issue the executive order to create a committee to explore providing assistance to homeowners dealing with crumbling concrete foundations. “The public should expect strong, clear and specific recommendations when our work is complete. We will approach thorny questions humbly, diligently and with an open mind. We will do our best to draw in voices that are not already represented on this commission, including but not limited to, Orthodox Jews, Israeli Jews and those who may have differing opinions about what counts as antisemitism.” ---Rep. Simon Cataldo (D-Concord) co-chair of the newly established Special State Commission for Addressing Antisemitism, which held its fi rst meeting last week. “The latest report … underscores the main issue driving residents out of Massachusetts. Oppressive taxes aren’t just a business community concern. This is a quality of life issue for everyone in the commonwealth. Our polling shows 80 percent of people agree Massachusetts taxes are too high. The long-term consequences aren’t hypothetical. If we don’t turn the tide, we will continue to lose talented residents, families and entrepreneurs to states with more competitive taxes.” ---Chris Anderson, president of the Massachusetts High Technology Council, on the release of the Tax Foundation 2025 State Tax Competitiveness Index, which ranked Massachusetts among the 10 worst states in the country (41st out of 50). 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 October 28-November 1, the House met for a total of 50 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 54 minutes. Mon.

How to Write a Living Will Dear Savvy Senior, What’s the best way to go about writing a living will? I’m approaching age 73 and in poor health and would like to get this done without spending a lot of money. Need Help Dear Need, Preparing a living will now is a smart decision that gives you say in how you want to be treated at the end of your life. Here’s what you should know, along with some resources to help you write one. What to Prepare To adequately spell out your wishes regarding your end-oflife medical treatment you need two legal documents: A “living will” which tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated, and a “health care power of attorney” (or health care proxy), which names a person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to. These two documents are known as an “advance directive,” and will only be utilized if you are too ill to make medical decisions yourself. You can also change or update it whenever you please. It isn’t necessary to hire a lawyer to prepare an advance directive. There are a number of free or low-cost do-it-yourself resources available today to help you create one, and it takes only a few minutes from start to fi nish. Some top options include: CaringInfo.org: This is a program created by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization that provides free state-specifi c living will forms that you can download, print and fi ll out. Or you can call 800658-8898 and they will mail them to you and answer any questions you may have. MyDirectives.com: If you’d rather create a digital (online only) advance directive, MyDirectives is an online tool and mobile app that will help you create, store and share a detailed, customized digital advance directive. FiveWishes.org: This is another top-rated resource for creating a comprehensive paper or digital advance directive. They charge $5 for the paper form and $15 for the digital version, which is stored on the website that you or your family can access anytime. VA Advance Directive: If you’re a veteran, the VA also provides a free advance directive form specifically for you at VA.gov/find-forms/aboutform-10-0137. Other Options If you’re interested in making an entire estate plan that will include your will and/or trust, power of attorney and advance directive, there are many doit-yourself online services that typically run between $100 and $250. Some top services include Quicken WillMaker & Trust software (WillMaker.com), Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com), and Legal Zoom (LegalZoom.com), which also makes basic living wills for only $39. Or, if you’d rather have a professional do it for you, contact an estate planning attorney. See NAELA.org or NAEPC.org to help you locate someone in your area. Costs will vary depending on where you live, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $500 and $2,000 for a basic estate plan. Add-ons You should also consider getting a do-not-resuscitate order (DNR) as part of your advance directive, since advanced directives do little to protect you from unwanted emergency care like CPR. To create a DNR, ask your doctor to fi ll out a state appropriate form and sign it. Another tool you should know about that will complement your advance directive is the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment, or POLST (sometimes called Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment, or MOLST). A POLST form translates your end-of-life wishes into medical orders to be honored by your doctors. To learn more about your state’s program or set one up, see POLST.org. Tell Your Family To ensure your fi nal wishes are followed, make sure to tell your family members, health care proxy and doctors so they all know what you want. You should also provide them copies of your advance directive or if you create a digital version, make sure you share it electronically. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
