struct its legal counsel to draft a settlement agreement to dismiss the legal action that was brought against the commission by Stephen Wynn, former chief executive officer of Wynn Resorts, which owns Encore Boston Harbor.

Commissioner Gayle Cameron said the agreement will “enable the commission to receive an investigative report and move forward with an adjudicatory proceeding regarding Wynn Resorts’ suitability as soon as possible.”

In addition, the commission has stated that failing to settle the lawsuit would “almost certainly” delay the opening of Encore, which is currently scheduled for June. However, Wynn has yet to agree to the settlement.

Wynn filed the lawsuit on Nov. 7, 2018, after the commission launched an investigation against him stemming from a number of sexual harassment claims made by former female employees. Although Wynn denied the accusations, he felt compelled to resign as the company’s CEO on Feb. 6, 2018.

n recent years, Mayor Carlo DeMaria has spearheaded a campaign to alleviate the pollutants in the storm water that flows from Everett into the Malden River and ultimately, into the Atlantic Ocean.

“It does drain to the ocean, it doesn’t just disappear,” said Gregory St. Louis, executive director of Public Works & Engineering.

Therefore, he said, placards have been put on the city’s storm drains stating where the water ends up. St. Louis said the placards have been a sound deterrent.

“It’s one tool that’s been effective,” he said.

St. Louis also said that like other cities, Everett is susceptible to the urban heat island effect. According to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), urban heat islands are “built up areas that are hotter than nearby rural areas.”St. Louis said that 80 percent of the city’s land is covered by pavement, concrete and other hardscape, which retains heat from the day.

Communications Director

Thomas Philbin described the ramifications of having 80 percent hardscape. “When you have that much surface paved, all the pollutants build up,” he said. “It’s like dumping fertilizer into our rivers and streams.”

As required by the EPA’s Municipal Storm Water Program, the campaign has targeted flood prone areas, such as Tremont Street, Air Force Road, Elton Street and the North/South Creek. The campaign is funded through a state grant from the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program.

Philbin said the campaign has called for rain gardens and swales to be put in at Day Park and along Appleton Street. He also said a new rain garden will be installed this spring as a student art project.

Looking ahead, St. Louis said an eight-foot by two-foot culvert will be installed in the North/South Creek. He also said there are plans for a dredging project and to remove the phragmites that have overtaken the banks of the creek. In addition, St. Louis said a new tide gate will be installed on the lower section of Broadway

and repairs will be made to the 100-year-old tide gate on Spring Street. He said the city has also been working with officials in Chelsea to construct a berm along the Island End River.

“It’s a work in progress,” said St. Louis.

Philbin said DeMaria’s ultimate goal is to make the Malden River safe for kayaking, canoeing and even a recreational crew team. “The main goal of the mayor is to open up the waterfront,” he said.

Patrick Herron, executive director of the Mystic River Watershed Association, said Everett has“rediscovered its waterfront.”

“Significant credit should go to Mayor DeMaria who has focused the attention of his administration on both the Malden River and the Mystic River,” he said. “We’ve been partnering with the City of Everett on getting the message out on clean water and opportunities to reduce the pollutants going into local waterways.”

Herron also said the association has been working with city officials to design sustainable infrastructure to assuage stormwater runoff.

State Rep. McGonagle announces committee assignments S

tate Representative Joe McGonagle recently announced his State House committee assignments for the 191st General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

McGonagle has been appointed as the Vice Chair on the Joint Committee on Housing, along with being appointed on the Joint Committee on Transportation and on Health Care Financing.

“Some of the biggest issues the City of Everett faces are housing, transportation, and healthcare. I couldn’t be more proud to be a member of these committees and enact real change in our community. This is where I belong,”said McGonagle. “Thank you to Speaker Robert DeLeo for entrusting me with these important matters.”

McGonagle provided the following statements on why each of these committees directly impacts the city of Everett: Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Housing – This position is important because the #1 issue that my constit-

As Vice Chair, I will work closely with Chairman Kevin Honan and make sure that we continue to make strides for affordable housing in Everett – Last year, we fought to pass the $1.8 Billion Dollar Housing Bond Bill, which was a step into making this a reality. I look forward to advocating for more affordable housing in Everett.

DiDomenico Honored as Head Start Champion

B

OSTON- Senator Sal DiDomenico was recently honored by the New England Head Start Association at Head Start’s Lobby Day at the State House, where he received the prestigious Champion of the Head Start Children Award. The award was presented to Senator DiDomenico in recognition of his service to Head Start, his advocacy for early childhood education, and his work throughout the district.

During the Lobby Day, Senator DiDomenico addressed the parents and children that had come to urge lawmakers to pass funding to the program. “I am a proud product of Head Start, which is why I am so passionate about providing high quality early childhood education to every child in the Commonwealth,” said Senator DiDomenico. “Thank you to the New England Head Start Association for this honor, and everyone who came to the State House to advocate for additional funding and share your stories on why this program is so important to you and your families.”

Head Start served 15,128 children from 14,069 families during the 2017-2018 school year, with 52 programs at 28 agencies across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. DiDomenico has been a longtime champion of Head Start in the Massachusetts Senate, and has always advocated for an increase in funding for the program, which sees children improve their proficiency in areas such as math and language development over 20% on average.

In his speech at the lobby day, Senator DiDomenico reaffirmed his commitment to fight for Head Start and champion their budget priorities for the new fiscal year.

Afterwards, DiDomenico and his staff met with families and educators from his district about the importance of funding for Head Start for low-income families.

Everett Recreation Basketball Program completes successful winter season ing office in 2007, DeMaria has reinvigorated youth programming in the community. However, in the past two years the DeMaria administration has exhibited a stronger presence in an attempt to unite Everett’s youngsters with the recreation program.

That presence was evident recently, when the winter recreation basketball program welcomed its largest participation rate in over 20 years. With over 110 players and 10 teams participating this year, the recreation center has once again become a value to the city and, most importantly, to the youngsters.

Building a healthier Everett for the people of Everett S

ince his first term in office, Mayor Carlo DeMaria has been a strong proponent for building a healthier city, and the administration continues to work hard to achieve a healthier and happier environment for the people of Everett. Improvements to both infrastructure and services are being implemented – from increasing the accessibility to affordable gym plans and healthy food, to making our buildings, streets and neighborhoods safer.

The Everett Health & Wellness Center is the driving force behind the initiative to making Everett a healthier city. Since its inception in 2015, the Health Center has grown with new levels of participation – this year expanding to 5,426 members. Over the past four years, the administration has continually met its longterm goal of increasing the accessibility, availability and affordability of both exercise programs and healthful foods in the community.

Strategies to achieve the healthful foods goal include the following: working toward changes in school food pro-

curement policies – stocking vending machines with healthy snack and beverage options at all municipal facilities, assisting schools in meeting basic nutritional guidelines; approaching small stores to promote healthier food and beverage options; and working with local restaurants to add healthy options to their menus.

In addition to increasing awareness and availability of healthy foods, Mayor DeMaria’s administration continues in its mission to increase opportunities for physical activity. Projects include establishing a “Complete Streets”policy design standard for Everett, in which streets and developments are constructed and refurbished with all users – motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit – in mind. These policies include bike lanes and paths, raised crosswalks, flashing pedestrian signals, improved bus shelters, and traffic-calming measures.

The Department of Planning & Development and the City Services Department have also been making strides toward a healthier and safer community

with updates and additions to city infrastructure. Recent Capital Improvement Plans have renovated Glendale Park, Swan Street Park, Florence Street Park, Gramstorff Park, Sacramone Park, Meadows Park, Wehner Park and Herman Day Park, in order to provide a safe and well-maintained space for youngsters, seniors and families to exercise and play.

“We are providing our children with the best recreational facilities in the state,” said DeMaria.

“We have renovated over eight parks in the last couple of years.

Park renovations and recreational programs provide our children and families the opportunity to participate in team sports and enjoy open play – but these park improvements are only a small down payment to the citizens of Everett.”

These improvements and continued efforts will help ensure that the city grows in a positive direction, remains strong and educates and assists its residents in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is this type of cooperative work that will ultimately build a healthier Everett.

Ret. School Supt. charged Tuesday with indecent assault; Committee remains tight-lipped at emergency meeting

A

n emergency executive session meeting was held late Tuesday at the administration building after a retired superintendent was charged with

indecent assault of three school employees on Tuesday.

According to the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office, Frederick Foresteire, 75, has been charged with five counts of indecent assault on a person

over the age of 14, indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 60, and assault and battery.

Foresteire, who wasn’t present, retired from Everett Public Schools in December while on

administrative leave of allegations surrounding sexual harassment, including inappropriate touching of women he used to work with.

School Committee Counsel Robert Galvin, Esq. shared a few words about what was discussed in Tuesday’s meeting on Wednesday afternoon and next steps.

“The Committee and I cannot comment on [the three] matters involving Mr. Foresteire, as this matter is under investigation, also by the

School Committee,” Foresteire said. “There are three charges of discrimination pending at the Massachusetts Commission Against Disabilities in Boston, which I will also not comment on.”

School Committee member Frank Parker and Interim Superintendent Janice Gauthier declined to comment. The other School Committee members didn’t return inquiries, as of press time.

Dry Bulk Ordinance still in the works

By Christopher Roberson

C

ity Councilors recently voted 7-3 to table the proposed Dry Bulk Ordinance to their next meeting, saying more work needs to be done before a final vote can be taken.

Ward 1 Councilor Fred Capone, who is sponsoring the ordinance, said there would be a one-time fee of $10 for every 25 cubic yards of storage. “This is a

piece in progress,”he said during the Feb. 25 meeting, adding that the council should be mindful about increasing the fee. “We don’t want to cripple the businesses.”

He also said that such a regulation is needed in Everett. “Without it, we have no protection.

Without this, we have nothing to say,”said Capone.“We want to make sure we’re protecting the water, the air and the soil.”

However, Ward 5 Councilor Rosa DiFlorio said the ordinance would be “unenforceable.” “My gut tells me not to vote for this,” she said.

She also said the locations for dry bulk storage are few and far between. “There’s maybe 12 lots where this could happen,” she said.

In addition, DiFlorio suggest-

“Let’s find out what other cities have this, let’s do some research,” said DiFlorio.

In response, Capone said Mejia has reviewed the ordinance.

“We’ve been working on this for six months,” he said. “I just want to get something going.”

Assistant City Solicitor Keith Slattery said dry bulk storage regulations have been passed in Cambridge, Peabody,

Ward 6 Councilor Michael McLaughlin said he appreciates the value in regulating dry bulk storage. “Put something on the books now,” he said, adding that he has shared the ordinance with councilors in Chelsea and Worcester.

Raw sewage spill and Free Cash transfer In other news, resident Rosemary Paley of Duncan Road said 2,000 gallons of raw sewage poured into her basement two months ago. “It was 12 inches deep; the smell lasted seven days,” said Paley, who shares the residence with her 75-year-old mother. “It was a serious situation; we lost a lot of things in that basement.”

Paley said the incident occurred on a Friday and when she called City Hall, she was told to “call back on Monday.”

“I called the Department of Public Works and got routed back to the main number,” she said. “Calling on deaf ears – it’s wrong.”

The council also voted to transfer $2.9 million from Free Cash and allocate $899,295 to the General Stabilization Fund, $899,295 to Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) and the remaining $1.1 million to the Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund.

Prior to the transfer, there was $2.5 million in the General Stabilization Fund, $2.2 million in the Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund and $3.5 million in OPEB funding.

The Everett Crimson Tide boys basketball team saw its season come to end Wednesday night with a 61-40 loss to Cambridge Rindge & Latin in the first round of the MIAA Div. 1 State Tournament.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives' votes on roll calls from January 30.

All roll calls are on proposed changes to House rules. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.

Hey Readers: Keep your eyes on the 2019 Legislature and the rough and tumble political scene in the Bay State with something that you will read every weekday morning.

There aren’t many things out there that are free and valuable. But MASSterlist is a rarity.

WHAT IS MASSTERLIST? More than 15,000 people, from movers and shakers to political junkies and interested citizens, start their morning with a FREE COPY of MASSterList! MASSterList is a daily ensemble of news and commentary about the Legislature, Politics, Media and Judiciary of Massachusetts drawn from major news organizations as well as specialized publications selected by widely acclaimed and highly experienced editor Jay Fitzgerald.

GO TO: www.massterlist.com/subscribe PROHIBIT TAX HIKES FROM BEING CONSIDERED AT INFORMAL SESSIONS (H 2019) House 32-125, rejected a proposed House rule that would prohibit tax hikes from being considered at an informal session of the House. Informal sessions are ones in which there can be no roll call votes and everything is approved or rejected on an unrecorded voice vote.

Supporters of the rule said it is unfair to allow tax hikes to be brought up at these lightly attended sessions often without informing members of the agenda.

Opponents said the rule is unnecessary because any single member who shows up at a lightly attended informal session can doubt the presence of a quorum, at which point the session would end because there is not a quorum.

(A "Yes" vote is for prohibiting tax hikes from being brought up at informal sessions. A "No" vote is against the prohibition.)

Rep. Joseph McGonagle No WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENTS (H 2019) House 5-152, rejected a proposed amendment to a current House rule that allows the chief sponsor of an amendment to withdraw his amendment unilaterally without the permission of his or her co-sponsors. The amendment would keep an amendment alive unless the chief sponsor and all the co-sponsors agree to withdraw it.

Amendment supporters said the current rule gives too much power to the prime sponsor without considering whether the co-sponsors would still like

to debate and vote on the amendment.

Amendment opponents said the current rule has worked well and the change is unnecessary and unfair. They noted many times the chief sponsor will withdraw one amendment in order to get another one approved and said this new rule would interfere with that negotiation.

(A "Yes" vote is for the amendment requiring the permission of the chief sponsor and co-sponsors in order to withdraw an amendment. A “No” vote is against requiring it.)

Rep. Joseph McGonagle No REMOTE VOTING BY REPRESENTATIVES (H 2019) House 32-125, rejected a proposed new House rule that would allow representatives who are attending a committee hearing in the Statehouse to cast their vote from the committee room when a roll call vote is being held in the House chamber. The rule also provides that a remote-control station with fingerprint recognition be set up in each committee hearing room in the Statehouse.

Supporters said many committee hearings are held at the same time the House is in session voting on important issues. They said it is unfair that these members are denied the right to vote if they are in a hearing room giving or listening to testimony on various bills.

Opponents offered no arguments.

Rep. Bill Galvin (D-Canton) the chairman of the Rules Committee that drafted the new rules did not respond to several requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment.

(A "Yes" vote is for allowing remote voting. A "No" vote is against allowing it.)

Rep. Joseph McGonagle No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers.

They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of February 18-22, the House met for a total of 20 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 52 minutes.

Mon., February 18 No House session No Senate session Tues., February 19 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:02 a.m.

Senate 11:15 a.m. to 11:59 a.m.

Savvy Senior How to Choose a Good Home Stair Lift Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good stair lift companies? I have a difficult time getting up and down the stairs anymore and am interested in purchasing a stair lift for my house but could use some help choosing one.

Arthritic Ann Dear Ann, A good home stair lift is an excellent solution for those with mobility challenges who have trouble with steps. A stair lift will carry you up and down the stairs in a safe seated position, providing easy access to the second story or basement level of your home.

To help you choose a quality stair lift that meets your needs and budget, here are a few shopping tips, along with some top-rated companies that make them.

Types of Lifts There are two basic types of stair lifts that are sold today: straight and curved. The type you need will depend upon the design of your staircase.

A straight stair lift is one that travels in a straight line up a flight of stairs uninterrupted by landings, bends or curves, and costs between $2,500 and $5,000 installed. Curved lifts, however, are much more elaborate and will go around corners, bends and changes in direction. Curved lifts are also much more expensive, typically running between $8,500 and $15,000 or more depending on the complexity of the installation.

You also need to know that all stair lifts mount to the stair treads, not to the wall, so they are very sturdy and can be installed in almost any home.

If you are a large person, you may need to get a heavy-duty lift with a wider seat and bigger lifting capacity – all companies offer them. Or, if you’re tall, find out about raising the seat height during installation.

Most stair lifts available today also have seats, armrests and footplates that fold up out of the way, and swivel seats that make getting into and out of the chair easier. They also come with standard safety features like seatbelts, breaking systems and footrest sensors, push-button or rocker-switch controls located on the armrest for easy operation, and “call send” controls which allow you to call or send the unit to the other end of the stairs. Make sure the lift you choose has all these features.

Depending on the company, you may also have the option of choosing between an electric (AC) and a battery powered (DC) stair lift. Battery powered units charge at the base station (some recharge anywhere on the track) are quieter, smoother and better than electric lifts, and will work even if there’s a power failure in the home.

Where to Shop While there are many companies that make and sell stair lifts, two of the best, based on reputation and customer satisfaction ratings, are Bruno (Bruno.com, 800-454-4355) and Stannah (Stannah-Stairlifts.com, 888-465-7652).

Unfortunately, original Medicare does not cover stair lifts nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. There are also many states that offer Medicaid waivers that will pay for lifts to those that qualify, and the VA offers cash grants to veterans with disabilities for home safety improvements.

To save some money, you may want to consider purchasing a used or refurbished model. Or, if you need a stair lift for only a short period of time, consider renting one. Most companies offer these options, and many offer financing programs too.

To get started, contact some stair lift companies who will put you in touch with a dealer in your area. All dealers provide free in-home assessments and estimates and can help you choose an appropriate lift.

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.

Therefore, Matthew Maddox, who had been president of Wynn Resorts since 2013, was chosen as the company’s new CEO. The commission’s investiga-

tion focused on reassessing the “casino operator’s suitability to run a casino in the state” and “whether Wynn Resorts’ executive leadership was aware of these allegations against the former CEO at the time that the casino operator submitted its bid to build the Everett casino.”

However, Wynn claimed that his former company had furnished the commission with documents that were protected under the attorney-client privilege. Therefore, the lawsuit also included Wynn Resorts and the commission’s lead investigator, Karen Wells, as defendants.
