Eight Peabody companies cited as toxic if flooded

By Christopher Roberson

T

he federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified eight companies in Peabody that, in the event of a flood, would release toxic chemicals threatening both residents and the environment. These facilities are Aggregate Industries on Russell Street, Analogic Corporation on Centennial Drive, Turbine Component Services on Fifth Street, Technical Manufacturing Corporation (TMC) on Centennial Drive, Paradigm Precision on Second Street, Stahl on Corwin Street, Synventive Molding Solutions on Centennial Drive and Rousselot Peabody on Allens Lane.

According to the EPA’s 2016 Toxic Release Inventory, these sites generated 5.7 million

pounds of combined waste.

Some of the more prevalent chemicals are methanol, nitric acid, ethylbenzene and phosphoric acid. Stahl had the greatest number of toxins at 23.

Aggregate Spokesman Jocelyn Gerst said the company’s leaders make every effort to work with the EPA and preserve the environment. “Our values are built on a continuous focus on health and safety in everything we do. We take our leadership as an environmental steward very seriously,” she said. “In the event of extreme and unexpected weather conditions, all reasonable controls and secondary containments are in place to mitigate potential for further damage to our employees, the site or the community.”

he City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 22 to approve a Special Permit allowing a contractor’s yard for National Grid to operate at 1 Technology Dr. Prior to the vote, Attorney John Keilty, counsel for applicant Marci Loeber of Griffith Properties, said 50 employees will be on site as well as 120 small vehicles. He said the

Keilty said the service-oriented facility will be exactly the same as National Grid’s facility in Waltham.

Fourth Breathe Benefit focuses on allergy bullying

By Christopher Roberson

A

s if living with food allergies was not bad enough, children and teenagers are now faced with a new nemesis known as allergy bullying. During the Fourth Annual Breathe Benefit on Feb. 24 in Danvers, Kristie DeLoreto, president of the Allergy and Asthma Awareness Initiative (AAAI), spoke about the controversy ignited by the movie “Peter Rabbit,” which was released on Feb. 9.

In one of the scenes, character Thomas McGregor, who is portrayed by Domhnall Gleeson, is attacked by a group of rabbits who throw blackberries at him,

knowing he is allergic to them.

Gleeson’s character then ingests one of the blackberries, which causes him to go into anaphylactic shock.

DeLoreto, whose 12-year-old son is allergic to nuts and sesame seeds, said she spoke out against that particular scene in the movie, saying Sony had made a mockery of anyone with food allergies. However, she ended up taking quite a bit of flack on social media. “People were telling me ‘It’s just a movie, get over it. Your son is going to grow up to be a wuss,’” said DeLoreto.

She shared another story about a female middle school student who was allergic to

North Shore residents in attendance during the Fourth Annual Breathe Benefit on Feb. 24 in Danvers.

pineapple. One day, a group of students, pretending to be the girl’s friend, smeared pineapple on their hands and proceeded to greet her with a round of high-fives, which instantly triggered an anaphylactic reaction. DeLoreto also reminded everyone of 11-year-old Oakley Debbs of West Palm Beach, Fla. In November 2016, Debbs passed away 90 minutes after eating a piece of pound cake that contained walnuts – it was the day before Thanksgiving.

Following their son’s death, Robert and Merrill Debbs founded Red Sneakers for Oakley. The nonprofit organization is “dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers of food allergies through the creation of educational community outreach programs, precautionary protocols and advocacy.”

Dr. Wanda Phipatanakul said she has spent the last 18 years studying food allergies at Boston Children’s Hospital. “I dedicate my entire career to researching treatment,” she said. “I want to make a difference for everyone.” Phipatanakul said that to date, there are more than 200 medical publications with articles that focus on the problem.

In addition, DeLoreto said AAAI plans to purchase EpiPens for the police and fire departments in Peabody, Saugus and Everett. She said in a food allergy emergency, police and fire personnel usually arrive at a scene before the paramedics, adding that “seconds matter.”

Residents troubled by amended Fifth Street project proposal

By Christopher Roberson

R

esidents recently presented a number of concerns to the Conservation Commission regarding the proposal for a warehouse and office building at 0 Fifth St., saying the Conservancy District Map used by Meridian Associates differed from the map that is used by the city.

During a Feb. 21 meeting, Christopher Ryan of Meridian, representing Kevin Lucy of 795 Jubilee Dr., LLC, presented the project’s plans, which had been amended since the commission’s meeting on Sept. 13, 2017. He said one of the changes would move the proposed retaining wall outside of the Conservancy District. “There won’t be any structures in the Conservancy District,” he said, adding that the same will hold true for the No Disturb Zone.

Ryan also said he and his colleagues had fulfilled a request from City Engineer William Paulitz to design a drainage network that would prevent Goldthwait Brook from flooding downtown Peabody. “The system is designed well in excess of the

standard,” said Ryan. “The system is designed to take a 100year storm. We are holding back a tremendous amount of water.”

One resident became quite boisterous as he responded to Ryan’s comments about the drainage system. “Drainage pumps fail – ask Houston, ask New Orleans,” he said. “All this investigative work is being done by residents – I’ve got to get out of here, I’m disgusted.”

Resident Anne Quinn said the water cannot be held back in perpetuity. “That water has to go somewhere; it’s going to go into that brook and it’s going to flood,” she said.

In addition, Attorney John Keilty said there is hazardous material that needs to be removed from the site. Therefore, he requested permission to bring in small pieces of equipment, as some of the material should not be removed by hand.

Ryan said the amount of hazardous material is fairly widespread. “There’s stuff everywhere: stuff in the wetlands, stuff in the No Disturb Zone and stuff in the Conservancy District,” he said. However, Chairman Mi-

chael Rizzo said he is not comfortable with digging of any sort in the Conservancy District.

In response to a possible map discrepancy, resident Thomas Butler said Meridian acted disingenuously by“creating their own map for this project.”“Why do we have a zoning map that we’re going to chuck out the window?” he asked.

Butler also said Ryan and his team made no effort to make any of the changes that the commission requested last fall.“They ignored you in September and they’re ignoring you now,” said Butler.

Vice Chairman Bruce Comak reminded Butler that Meridian is a well-respected firm. Therefore, he was very unsure that the company would purposely use a different map.

It was also made known that although construction is not permitted in the Conservancy District, the commission voted in September to allow it. “We obviously have an Order of Conditions that we approved; I don’t know what to do,”said Rizzo. The matter will be taken up again at the commission’s next meeting.

~ Letter to the Editor ~

In support of the mayor’s fiber loop plan Dear Editor, I am writing to express my profound support for Mayor Bettencourt’s fiber loop plan. I am a software engineer and write management software for supercomputers. Many of the organizations I work with deal with massive amounts of data – petabytes, in some cases. As such, I am well aware of how critical having a modern and speedy net-

work is to municipalities, businesses, and individuals.

I think the fiber loop is a unique opportunity for the city. The internet is a necessity today. Many critical tasks – such as job applications – can only be completed on the internet and a business without an internet presence is frequently a dead business. It therefore is critical to individuals and businesses to have in-

expensive, reliable internet service.

A municipal Internet Service Provider (ISP) is an excellent way to provide this to citizens at rates lower than commercial ISPs can provide. Further, municipal ISPs are much more able to respond to the needs of residents. Imagine – internet access which is both better and costs less!

Nor are the benefits restricted to individuals. A municipal ISP has significant benefit for local companies as well. Larger internet providers often charge businesses significantly more for the same service. In other cases, the initial cost is low, but the commercial ISPs nickel-and-dime for every small function a business might want. Running a municipal ISP in Peabody would send a clear message to the business community (and especially the many technology startups in the area): Peabody wants you to come here and build your business.

Finally, Peabody is well positioned to run a municipal ISP, due to previous experience running other mu-

nicipal utilities.

Peabody must, of course, start small. Any significant network has a learning curve, especially one shared among many users. Starting with a fiber loop designed for use by the municipality is an excellent first step. However, any expansion will be easier if it is planned for from the beginning. I encourage the mayor to not only consider starting a municipal ISP, but to ensure the necessary technical provisions are made.

In conclusion, I believe Mayor Bettencourt is working to the benefit of all Peabody in installing the fiber loop and strongly encourage him to consider broader roll-out to private businesses and citizens.

Thank you, Steven Presser

Slow start too much to overcome for Peabody girls’ basketball team

By Greg Phipps

W

hen asked about the performance of his girls’ basketball team this season, Peabody head coach Stan McKeen pointed to the very beginning of the campaign. “We started off 1-5 and never completely recovered from it,” he said. “We then won five of seven and were 6-7 at one point. But we never could get back to where we wanted to be.”

The Tanners ended the season at 8-12 overall and missed this year’s playoff tournament after losing nonleague games to Woburn and Chelmsford last week. McKeen said nonconference contests proved to be a bugaboo for Peabody this season. “We were 8-7 in the [Northeastern Conference] but 0-5 in nonleague games. That pretty much sums up the season in many ways,” he said. “We played tough teams out of conference like Woburn, Masco, Chelmsford and Newburyport, and we played Danvers twice in our own league. Overall, I think we were competitive. This was a rebuilding year for us, too.”

McKeen pointed out that nearly three-quarters of this year’s team had no previous varsity experience. “That was the biggest thing. Going from junior varsity to varsity is a big step; it’s a huge change, and I think the kids found out just how difficult it is,” he said. “We’re losing just three seniors, so most of the team is coming back and that’s a plus for us.”

Junior forward Catherine Manning, who averaged a double-double in points and rebounds this season, and center Liz Zaiter will be back in 201819, along with guard Kristina

Rossignoll, forward Jonalyn Carpenter and guard Colleen Crotty among others. The developmental side of the picture continues to look good, as this year’s junior varsity team finished 13-5.

Senior co-captains Serena Laro and Jordan Muse are departing.

Laro was a scrappy leader and Muse was the team’s top ball handler and quarterback of the offense.

Despite their struggles at times, the Tanners still could have qualified for the postseason but two home losses, in particular, were backbreakers. Peabody dropped a 60-55 overtime game to Everett when it missed

11 of 12 foul shots in the fourth quarter. The Tanners also gave up an early 18-5 lead in a disappointing setback against Somerville.

“Those two games were definitely keys to our season. If we had won them, we’d most likely be in the playoffs. They definitely hurt,” McKeen observed.

All told, McKeen said, his players continued to battle hard throughout the season. “Even in the last game [when out of playoff contention] we never quit,”he said. “That’s the one thing about this team – no matter what the score was we played hard to the end of every game. That’s all you can ask for.”

Departing senior co-captain Jordan Muse was the team’s chief ball handler and quarterback on offense.

Young Tanners hockey team shows fight despite tough season

By Greg Phipps

T

he Peabody boys’ hockey team had one final opportunity to earn a win last Friday at Revere but came up short, 9-5. Tied 3-3 early in the second period, Peabody saw the chance for a victory slip away when the hosts tallied four straight times to pull out to a 7-3 lead. The Tanners scored twice more but couldn’t come all the way back. The defeat left Peabody with a 0-20 record for the season. But the young Tanners showed fight and actually outshot Revere, 40-25, in last Friday’s contest.

Tanners head coach Mark Leonard liked his team’s compete level, not only in the season finale but throughout the 2017-18 campaign. “We kept coming back. We were down 3-1 and kept coming back,” he told the press after the Revere game. “We pulled the goalie at the end of the game and they put one in. We outshot them [and] it shows a lot of character, being 0-19 and not giving up.”

Nick Capillo netted a hat trick while Andrew Phillips and Jack McKelvey scored the other goals. Leonard was happy to see McKelvey score in his final Peabody game, and acknowledged that Capillo, the team’s leading scorer, had a memorable season. “Jack hasn’t scored

much so I’m glad he scored in his last game,” said Leonard.

“Nick has a tremendous shot and he has some speed. Hopefully, he’ll have another big year next year."

The Tanners lose just three seniors – McKelvey, Zack De-

freitas and Christian Jones – to graduation and return most their roster next year.

Eleven of this year’s 24-player squad were sophomores or below. Junior co-captains Capillo and Connor McCarron are both returning, as are un-

derclassmen Caleb Dollin (forward), Lucas DeMild (goalie), Phillips (forward) and defenseman Austin Higinbotham among others.

Leonard sounded optimistic about next year’s prospects, as his team gained valuable varsi-

ty experience this winter. “Most of our kids return,” he pointed out. “We have six freshmen and two eighth graders, so we have a young team. It was a very long year but [the team] played hard. They battled hard today and I’m proud of them.”

Junior co-captain Connor McCarron is one of many Tanner players returning next year.

TAX TALK WITH TOM

WHY DID MY NET PAYROLL INCREASE? T

he Internal Revenue Service released Notice 1036 on January 11, 2018, updating the income tax withholdings to reflect the increase in the standard deduction, repeal of personal exemptions and the changes in the tax rates and income brackets. The new withholding tax tables are designed to work with the existing Form W-4 exemptions currently on file with your employers. As a result, most employees saw their take home pay increase by an average of 19-22% in February, depending on when their respective payroll systems implemented the new withholding tables. This is welcome news for most households, as the withholding changes are substan-

tial, and should reflect the correct amount of tax for those employees with simpler tax situations.

However, it is probably a good idea to take a look at your withholding with your unique tax situation in mind. Employees with more complex tax situations include those with: - Rental income and expenses - Self-employment income and expenses - Taxable interest, dividend income - Long and short–term capital gains - Deferred income such as pension, annuities and 401K’s just to name a few.

This is also true if you anticipate a major life changing event

Saint Anselm College presents sophomore nurses Blessing of the Hands for nursing students

M

ANCHESTER, N.H. – Local students who are studying Nursing at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire are concluding their school year following Blessing of the Hands, a college tradition that symbolically and literally pays honor to the hands of nursing students for clinical care, actually touching, administering to and caring for the sick.

A total of 81 students received the Blessing of Hands, marking the beginning of clinical rotations of the Nursing program at Saint Anselm. Local students honored include: Paige Balley, and Reilly Birmingham The students represent six states: Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York. To be eligible for this honor, a student must be in good academic standing and have completed three semesters of a liberal arts nursing curriculum.

Nurses whose hands were blessed were joined by faculty, family, and friends, listen-

ing to prayer and reflection. Ann Fournier, Nursing professor and college alumna advised the students to "prayerfully prepare themselves to be present with each person for whom they care, we are very blessed to call ourselves nurses and student nurses...it is a gift and a calling."

Abbot Matthew Leavy, O.S.B. and Fr. Stephen Lawson, O.S.B. presided over the blessing.

ABOUT SAINT ANSELM COLLEGE: Founded in 1889, Saint Anselm College is a nationally-ranked four-year liberal arts college providing a 21st century education in the Catholic, Benedictine tradition. Located in the greater Boston region in southern New Hampshire, Saint Anselm is well known for its strong liberal arts curriculum, the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, commitment to inclusiveness, a highly successful nursing program, and a legacy of community service.

never occurred since Synventive opened its doors in Peabody 17 years ago. “Our facility is located in what is considered an area of minimal flood hazard.”

M ayo r E d w a rd B e t t e n court’s Chief of Staff, Christopher Ryder, said Peabody’s Director Health and Human Services, Sharon Cameron, has been working diligently

to ensure that the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is watching each location.

“Companies that potentially discharge pollutants to air, water or ground are required to be in compliance with DEP regulations and permitted as required,” said Ryder. “Companies that store or use potentially hazardous chemi-

cals are also required to file with the Peabody Fire Department, including a summary of their inventory as well as management and emergency response plans that address procedures to be taken in the event of fire, flooding or other event that poses a risk of hazardous materials release.”

Ryder also said that each site is listed in the city’s Mu-

nicipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) planning process.

“The MVP grant program provides support for cities and towns in Massachusetts to begin the process of planning for resiliency,” he said. “The state awards communities with funding to complete vulnerability assessments and develop action-oriented resiliency plans.”

installation work and make house calls. “This location gives us much better access to our area of coverage,” he said.

Councillor-at-Large Ryan Melville said he supported the proposal after touring the site with Turco. “This is actually a much lower impact than what it could’ve been,” he said.

Applicant Frank Perullo said he intends to sell “slightly used” brand-name clothing as well as an assortment of home goods. “We’re trying to go for a higher end look,” he said.

However, resident Anne Quinn said she did not see the need for a thrift shop, as there are currently three thrift shops elsewhere in the city.

Ward 2 Councillor Peter McGinn reminded his colleagues that a Junk Dealers License is permitted “by right.”

Therefore, Councill o r - a t - L a rg e A n n e M a n -

ning-Martin asked why the request was even before the council. “If it’s by right, it seems like a moot point for it to be before us,” she said. However, City Clerk Timothy Spanos said the council still has the authority to approve or deny the license.

Manning-Martin said the location should be used for something more than a thrift shop, particularly with all the money the city has invested in improving Main Street. “We have an obligation to our constituents to raise the bar,” she

said. “I will not be supporting this.”

Councillor-at-Large David Gravel said he did not see a “good, viable reason” to deny the license. He said the thrift shop at the Senior Center is very well maintained and that there is also a thrift shop in Hyannis that looks more like a traditional clothing store. “I know it gets classified as a Junk Dealers License; I never really agreed with that,” said Gravel, adding that the classification automatically degrades the product being sold.

New Main Street Thrift Shop The council also voted 9-1 to grant a new Junk Dealers License for a thrift shop at 86B Main St.

THE PEABODY ADVOCATE – Friday, March 2, 2018

How to Get Cash For Your Life Insurance Policy Dear Savvy Senior, I have a life insurance policy that I’ve been paying on for years that I really don’t need any longer. I’ve been thinking about letting it lapse, but I’ve heard that I can actually sell it for a nice payout.

What can you tell me about this?

Interested In Selling Dear Interested, Selling a life insurance policy, even a term life policy that you don’t want or need any longer – a transaction known as a “life settlement” – has become a popular option among retirees in recent years that could use some extra cash. Here’s how it works.

A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party company for cash. Life settlements are typically best suited for people over age 65 who own a policy with a face value of $100,000 or more or someone younger who has experienced a significant change in health.

Historically, if an owner of a life insurance policy decided they no longer needed it, they would either let the policy lapse or turn it in for a meager cash surrender value.

But now, with the life settlement option, you can actually sell your policy for more than the cash surrender value would be, but less than its net death benefit.

Once you sell it, the life settlement company then becomes the new owner of the policy, pays the future premiums and collects the death benefit.

How much money you can expect to get with a life settlement will depend on your age, health and life expectancy, the type of insurance policy, the premium costs and the cash value of your policy. You may be able to receive four to eight times more than the policy cash surrender value.

If you’re interested in a life settlement here are some things you should know: Shop around: Because payout can vary, to ensure you get the best price for your policy get quotes from several companies. Also, find out what broker and transaction fees you’ll be required to pay. Coventry, the nation’s first and largest provider of life settlements, offers some of the highest cash payouts

for life insurance policies. To get started, visit CoventryDirect.com or call 888-8589344. To search for other providers or brokers, the Life Insurance Settlement Association provides a directory at LISA.org.

Be prudent: Life settlements are regulated in most states. Find out from your state insurance commissioner (see NAIC.org for contact information) if the life settlement company you’re interested in is properly licensed.

Protect your privacy: When you sell your life insurance policy, you will have to sign a waiver authorizing the release of medical and other personal information so that the buyer can determine how much to offer for your policy. Before accepting any offer, make sure that the company has procedures in place to protect the confidentiality of your information.

Understand the tax implications: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act recently updated the tax treatment of a life settlement to be treated the same as the surrender of a policy back to the insurance company. This can be complicated, so be sure to consult a tax advisor.

Other Options If you want to keep your life insurance policy but could use some extra cash, you may have some other options. For example, some life settlement companies may allow you to keep part of the policy’s death benefit while eliminating your premium obligations. You can also ask your life insurer if you can borrow against your policy, or if you’re in poor health, see if you’re eligible for accelerated death benefits. You should also find out if you’re able to convert the cash value of your policy into an immediate annuity (through a 1035 Exchange), which would make regular payments to you for a set number of years or for the rest of your life.

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.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.

Debate on gun laws intensifies across America following the death of 14 students and three teachers in the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. One of the proposals that is being discussed is a ban on bump stocks on a state and/or national level.

Bump stocks are devices that are attached to rifles, shotguns or firearms, other than a magazine, to increase the weapon’s rate of fire and mimic a fully automatic weapon that can fire hundreds of shots in succession. These devices were used in the October 2017 massacre in Las Vegas where the shooter used 12 of them, allowing him to shoot, kill and injure more victims.

Massachusetts was the first state to ban bump stocks after the Las Vegas massacre and is one of only a few states with a ban. “Following the tragedy in Las Vegas, I filed legislation that would ban bump stock devices,” said the law’s sponsor Rep. David Linsky (D-Natick). “I reviewed the Massachusetts General Laws and realized that due to a loophole in our laws, the bump stock devices that the shooter used were legal in Massachusetts. I felt that this issue was so important that it needed to be addressed as soon as possible, so I refiled this legislation as an amendment to a supplemental budget bill, which was passed by the House and Senate in November and then signed into law

by Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito.”

The ban took effect immediately rather than after the 90 days it usually takes for most new laws to go into effect.

House Speaker Bob DeLeo and Senate President Harriette Chandler supported and praised the ban.

“I am proud that Massachusetts has banned bump stocks and I encourage Congress to take this common-sense step,” said DeLeo. “Further, I’m heartened by the results of the House’s 2014 gun legislation which have made the commonwealth the safest state in the nation. Northeastern University recently completed a report, as requested by the House, on the implementation of this law and we are reviewing those recommendations. At the same time, I’m in the midst of discussions with members about various public safety bills.”

“The Massachusetts Senate is committed to pursuing smart, sensible gun control legislation,” said Senate President Harriette Chandler. “The commonwealth is a model for the nation for common-sense reforms in gun control policy, including last year’s ban on bump stock devices.”

Jim Wallace, Executive Director of Gun Owners’Action League (GOAL), the local branch of the NRA, said that GOAL understands bump stocks were used, in part, to inflict great terror but he believes banning them was simply a distraction from the real issues. “Each time in recent history that the Legislature has

acted on these issues it has completely failed to address the human element and specifically mental health,”said Wallace. “In each mass killing we have witnessed the killer is either a terrorist or someone who suffers from severe mental illness or both. But no one seems to want to address those issues seriously.”

Wallace told Beacon Hill Roll Call that one of the most important pending pieces of current proposed legislation for his group is H 1296 which specifically prohibits any cities or towns from approving or enforcing any local gun laws.

It states that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual civil right that applies to purchase, ownership, use and possession of guns and ammunition, unless expressly prohibited by state law.

“The bill seeks to prevent local municipalities form harassing lawful citizens by creating patchwork gun laws that prevent people from exercising their civil rights,” said Wallace.

Linsky told Beacon Hill Roll Call that his priority legislation for this session is H 3081 which establishes extreme-risk protective orders.“An extreme-risk protective order is a civil court order that would expand upon current Massachusetts law by temporarily restricting access to firearms by persons who exhibit dangerous or threatening behaviors towards themselves or others, but who are not otherwise prohibited under federal or state law,” said Linsky. “I have received hundreds of calls and e-mails over the past few days in support of this bill, and I am continuing to advocate for the House to bring this bill to the floor as soon as possible.”

Here are the votes of local legislators and the debate from November on the bill banning bump stocks. The House and Senate initially approved different versions of the proposed law. A conference committee worked out a compromise version that was then approved without a roll call vote.

BAN BUMP STOCKS–HOUSE VERSION (H 3951) House 152-3, approved an amendment that supporters say would ban the sale, purchase or ownership of bump stock devices for weapons. Opponents of the amendment disagree and say that the wording of the bill is vague since the words“bump stock”do not appear anywhere in the bill. Violators under this new law would be sentenced to between three and 20 years in prison.

“This legislation will ensure that no one in Massachusetts can legally possess a bump stock, a device designed to increase the deadliness of these already deadly weapons,” said the law’s sponsor Rep. David Linsky (D-Natick).

“These devices were created by gun manufacturers as a workaround of the

federal law banning the sale and possession of automatic weapons, and there is absolutely no place for them in a civilized society.”

“It is a poorly drafted and vaguely worded amendment,” said Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer). “While I don’t think it is unreasonable to prevent people from getting devices that turn their semi-automatic weapon into an automatic weapon, this amendment has the effect of making any modification to a firearm that could conceivably increase the rate of fire illegal and subject you to at least three years in prison. Simply making a bolt action rifle slide easier, and therefore work faster could be determined illegal.”Durant noted that the interpretation of this law will be left to un-elected state bureaucrats who can change depending on the administration in the corner office.

(A “Yes” vote is in favor of the ban. A “No” vote is against it.)

Rep. Theodore Speliotis Rep. Thomas Walsh

Yes Yes

BAN BUMP STOCKS–SENATE VERSION (S 2177) Senate 38-0, approved its own version of an amendment banning the sale, purchase or ownership of bump stocks and classifying them under the same law that governs machine guns.

The punishment for violating the law would be the same as it is for machine guns: 18 months to life in prison. The Senate version of the bill used the words “bump stock,” so unlike the House, there were no charges that the Senate language was vague.

“This amendment is a necessary and appropriate response to the dangers inherent in these deadly devices,”said the sponsor of the amendment Sen. Cynthia Creem (D-Newton).

“Too many parents have had to bury their children, too many movie-goers have had a fun night out turn into a nightmare and too many Americans fear for their safety and the safety of their families,” said Sen. Eric Lesser (D-Longmeadow). “It is time for us to step up and say we will not tolerate this senseless killing anymore — or the ease with which it is carried out.”

(A “Yes” vote is in favor of the ban.)

Sen. Joan Lovely

Yes

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts.

Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been 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 1923, the House met for a total of two hours and 45 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 14 minutes.

Mon. Feb. 19 No House session Tues. Feb. 20 House 11:07 a.m. to 12:09 p.m.

Wed. Feb. 21 No House session Thurs. Feb. 22 House 11:04 a.m. to 12:47 p.m.

Fri. Feb. 23 No House session

No Senate session Senate 11:03 a.m. to 11:10 a.m.

No Senate session Senate 11:09 a.m. to 1:16 p.m.
