n March 8, the Market Street Advisory Committee voted 11-1 to halt its discussion regarding a possible movie theatre at MarketStreet Lynnfield until a “specific theatre proposal” is made available. The decision resulted from a motion made by Member Anne Mitchell during the committee’s March 8 meeting.

She said the committee’s recommendation to the Board of Selectmen cannot be influenced by National Development. “It’s not our mission to work with or for National Development,” said Mitchell.

Theodore Tye, managing partner of National Development and Louis Masiello, senior vice president of Development at WS Development, presented the theatre concept to the committee during its Feb. 22 meeting.

Member Wallace McKenzie

said the onus is on the committee to keep pace with National Development’s plans as they evolve. “They’re playing three-dimensional chess and we’re playing checkers,” he said.

McKenzie also said that MarketStreet does not need a theatre to attract additional customers. “This turned out to be three times what was anticipated,” he said of the outdoor mall. “This isn’t in trouble.”

In addition, he reminded the committee that the prior theatre proposal included a request for 360 seats and 38,000 square feet, whereas the current request would be for 800 seats and 40,000 square feet. “This is a very big risk,” said McKenzie.

Member Salvatore Yerardi asked about the possibility of building the parking ga-

Weidman announces resignation as LHS football head coach after 10-year run of success

By Joe Mitchell

L

ynnfield High School football coach Neal Weidman, who has occupied the sidelines for the past 13 years – the last 10 as head coach – abruptly stepped down from the top post last week, citing a “combination of things.” He will remain on as a health and physical education teacher at the high school.

“I was a little unsure at first, and that’s why I took some time to think it over,” said Weidman. “It was definitely emotional. I have been coaching here a lot of years, and each year new kids come in, and you get to know them. That’s the toughest part, and as a result there’s really no good time to leave this job as head coach, because you develop a relationship with all these kids.”

Weidman added, “Coaching here in Lynnfield is one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. Everybody’s been great to me from the School Committee all the way down to the players themselves.”

Weidman grew up in Buffa-

Neal Weidman lo Bills territory in upstate New York and was a Dallas Cowboys fan. His first coaching job was with the Ithaca College football program, pretty much right after he graduated from the school. He then took over the head football coaching job at his high school alma mater in Dansville, N.Y. Weidman then married a North Reading native, prompting his move to the Bay State, where he immediately accepted a position as an assistant coach on the Lynnfield foot-

Library to host “Art in Bloom” on April 9 O

n April 9, the Lynnfield Public Library hosts the 13 th annual Art in Bloom celebration – the signature springtime event that combines multimedia works of art with fresh floral design interpretations. For those unfamiliar, Art in Bloom began as the brainchild of Charles Thomas, head of the Development Department at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA). In 1976 he approached MFA’s volunteer guides, who were partly responsible for the fresh flo-

ral arrangements throughout the museum, with an idea to pair 50 selected MFA works with fresh floral interpretations

by New England garden clubs.

After the resounding success of his idea at the MFA, Thomas shared the idea with his colleagues, and the Art in Bloom event took root in museums all over the world.

Now in its 42nd year, how successful is MFA’s Art in Bloom?

“It’s the busiest weekend of the whole year. It attracts more than 27,000 visitors and is a The popular Art in Bloom event at the Lynnfield Public Library begins with an evening presentation on Monday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m. The pairings of artwork and fresh floral design interpretations will remain on view through April 13.

key weekend for new museum memberships,” noted Susan O’Brien, MFA’s 2018 Art in Bloom committee chair.

Like many others, Lynnfield’s Village Home & Garden Club has taken cues from MFA’s successful event. In April the Club’s members create fresh floral interpretations of artwork created by local artists in the Lynnfield Art Guild and art students in the Lynnfield middle and high schools. “It

is such a happy event,” noted Georgann Lieb, copresident of the Lynnfield Village Home & Garden Club. “It’s a true harbinger of spring, when everyone is anxious to leave winter behind and focus on growth and renewal.”

At the April 9 reception at the Library, attendees will hear brief presentations about the inspirations and creativity from both artists and floral designers; the event is free and

open to the public. The Lynnfield Village Home & Garden Club will welcome the evening’s attendees with refreshments and beautiful themed raffle items for home and garden.

The artworks and their floral interpretations will remain on display through April 13.

During that week, the library expects more than 2,000 visitors to come and enjoy the displays.

A St. Patrick’s Day Reflection – Remembering Roscommon

By Helen Breen

R

ecently I came across this picture of my maternal grandfather, John F. “Pa” Boland.

I have only one vague memory of him when I was a toddler.

He was coming out of a corner store across from English High School in East Lynn, near where we lived at the time on Clovelly Street. He was not a big man,

but muscular with a pleasant smile. He was wearing a felt hat as all men did in those days.

His physical strength served him well as a shepherd in his rustic homeplace of Ballinaheglish, Roscommon. It was there that he won a sheep-shearing contest, earning gold coins for his passage to Boston. My dear mother Anne (Boland) Gallagher often described the heart-

wrenching “American wake” which preceded the departure of a son or daughter for the New World. Although she was born on this side, my mother had absorbed from her parents a love for Ireland with all its joys and sorrows. Her descriptions of such leave-takings always ended with the same words:“They never went back.”

The passage Trans-Atlantic travel boomed at the end of the 19th century as thousands of immigrants arrived on our shores every year.

No longer catering just to the wealthy, shipbuilders recognized the profit to be made from “steerage” passengers.

Available ship records suggest that John Boland departed for Boston on the Cunard Line’s SS Catalonia in April 1887 when he was 21 years old. The ship sailed out of Liverpool stopping at Queenstown, now Cork, where Irish passengers embarked.

John F. “Pa” Boland (1865-1945) came to Lynn from Ireland as a young man. Like so many of that generation, he never returned except in memory.

Arriving in Lynn The following year John was among hundreds of volunteers who fought Lynn’s First Great Fire. The conflagration devastated the entire business area of the city before spreading down to the waterfront. (Locals will recall that a similar inferno occurred there in November 1981.) A few years later, in 1894, John proudly acquired his United States citizenship.

About this time he married my grandmother, Catherine Kelley, also from Roscommon.

Kate, as she was known, had arrived several years earlier at the age of 18. She had joined her sisters as “living out girls” in the homes of wealthy Bostonians. But that is a story for another day.

The Bolands had four children: John, Sara, Anne and Arthur. They never owned a house and rented primarily in the Brick Yard section of Lynn. Later they moved to Blanchard Street near the bottom of Pine Hill. By then Pa Boland had earned his “stationary engineer’s” license, which certified him to operate steam engines, air compressors, turbines and such. For many years he ran the boiler room at the nearby Lynn Hospital.

Unfortunately he suffered an industrial accident on this job.

His doctor feared that his facial laceration so near his brain would lead to infection. In preantibiotic days, that could be fatal. My mother, who lived at

Former NBA player shares destructive story of addiction

By Christopher Roberson

C

hristopher Herren recently shared his story about everything he lost to substance abuse including a promising basketball career and almost his family.

Growing up in Fall River, Herren was the star of the basketball team at Durfee High School. During his four years with the Hilltoppers, he scored 2,073 points and was named a McDonald’s All American in 1994.

“He was the future, he was the hope,” said Bill Reynolds in the introductory video that was shown prior to Herren’s March 12 presentation at Lynnfield Middle School.

Together with Herren, Reynolds co-authored Fall River Dreams and Basketball Junkie. “Basketball was one of the few things that gave Fall River a sense of self,” said Reynolds.

After watching his father get consumed by alcoholism, Herren said he promised his mother that he would never fall into the same trap.

“I broke that promise when I was 14 years old and started drinking my dad’s Miller Lites,” he said.

Following high school, Herren accepted an offer to play for the Boston College Eagles on an athletic scholarship.

He also remembered the night when tried cocaine for the first time.

“At 18 years old, I had never seen cocaine,” he said.

Herren said he did one line of cocaine and told himself that it would end there.

Four months later, Herren lost his scholarship and was expelled from the college after failing three drug tests.

Months later, Jerr y Tarkanian, the head coach at California State University at Fresno, gave Herren the opportunity to return to school and to basketball.

“I jumped on a plane and flew 3,000 miles to a place I never heard of,” said Herren.

While his success on the court continued, his life off the court was another story. Herren failed another drug test and was forced to announce his addiction during a press conference on national television.

“I cried because my mother walked into the room,” he said, adding that his 80-yearold grandfather was right behind her.

From there, the university required Herren to complete a drug rehabilitation program in Salt Lake City, Utah prior to his senior year.

After college, Herren was

selected by the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft.

Upon joining the team, Herren was told that the franchise had a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use.

“That rookie season was the best rookie season I ever had playing basketball,” he said, adding that he actually felt healthy for the first time in a long time.

Herren played 45 games for Denver, averaging 3.1 points, 2.5 assists and 13.3 minutes.

During the off-season, Herren ran into an old friend from high school who sold him a 40-milligram OxyContin pill for $20.

“That had just changed my life forever,” said Herren.

The habit quickly ballooned to 600 milligrams a day and $25,000 per month.

In October 2000, Herren re-

Chapter 40B development proposed for Tarrant Lane

By Christopher Roberson

W

AKEFIELD – The Board of Selectmen on March 12 listened to a 40B housing proposal to construct 190 units on 3.75 acres off of Tarrant Lane. During the March 12 meeting, Attorney Theodore Regnante, counsel for developer Anthony Bonacorso, said the units would be divided into one, two- and three-bedroom apartments, which would be spread across three five-story buildings. He also said 48 units would be classified as affordable to comply with Chapter 40B of the state’s housing regulations.

Regnante said that to date, less than 10 percent of Wakefield’s housing stock is affordable, adding that 10 percent is the minimum needed to prevent other 40B developments. Although this development would not solve that problem, Regnante said, it would increase the amount of affordable housing to 9.1 percent. He also said variances would be needed from the Zoning Board of Appeals, as the property is currently in a single-family residential district.

Regnante said there would be 299 parking spaces, 165 of which would be located below ground. He said the building arrangement would allow for a courtyard and a community room and an onsite rental office.

Mark Fougere of Fougere Planning and Development, said the complex would generate $500,449 per year from property and vehicle excise

taxes.

In response, Selectman Anthony Longo suggested reducing the number of twoand three-bedroom units by 50 percent, adding that Walton Elementary School cannot accommodate another major influx of students. “I’m concerned about the impact on the school system,” he said. “We don’t lose students in Wakefield; people come

In response, Selectman Ann Santos said that Wakefield’s student enrollment has taken a slight dip.

Selectman Edward Dombroski asked about replacing any trees that would be taken down. Engineer Christopher Sparages said additional trees would actually be needed to build a buffer between the property

However, Yerardi said putting the parking garage behind either Wahlburgers or Whole Foods would compel more patrons to take Exit 42 off I-95 when visiting MarketStreet, thus taking the strain off of Exit 43.

Yerardi also reminded the committee about the size of the garage. “It’s going to be big; it’s something like 400 cars that they’re talking about,” he said.

Member Jocelyn Fleming said she would like to see recent financial reports from larger theatre companies, such as AMC Theatres and Showcase Cinemas. “What if the cinema fails? What could go in there?” she asked.

Fleming also said she is surprised that the entire concept is still being considered after 11 years. “The residents have said ‘no’ time and time again, yet here we are,” she said.

Member Taidgh McClory said that during the Feb. 22 presentation, Masiello only showed pictures of MarketStreet. “I was hoping for more examples,” said McClory.

He also said that MarketStreet’s high traffic volume,

Chairman Paul DiNocco exp re s s e d co n ce r n s a b o u t South Street being used as a cut-through. “The road condition, currently, is in bad shape,” he said.

DiNocco suggested installing warning lights to alert pedestrians when a vehicle is exiting the property. particularly during the evening, is a clear sign that it continues to be a magnet for North Shore retail customers.

“If you have no traffic, that means something is wrong – that’s the Chicopee Mall,” he said.

Member Paula Parziale said she would like to see the layout of Showcase SuperLux in Chestnut Hill. “I’m very impartial right now,” she said. In addition, Parziale said the Smart Traffic Signals should be installed now rather than waiting until the theatre opens, should it be approved.

Member Philip Doucette said he is concerned about the type of clientele the theatre could attract. “We’re not crazy about outsiders coming into our town,” he said.

Following the members’ comments, resident Joseph DeMaina said he voted to approve MarketStreet back when it was known as Meadow Walk at Lynnfield. He also remembered that National Development nearly came out on the short end of that decision. “They were within a hare’s breath of losing that vote,” he said.

However, DeMaina said his opinion of National Development has changed since then, adding that company representatives have proven that they can no longer be trusted.

HERREN | FROM PAGE 5 ceived a call from Rick Pitino, who, at the time, was the head coach of the Boston Celtics. “ I t s h o u l d ’ve b e e n my dream come true,” Herren said of being traded to Boston. “I could’ve cared less about the Boston Celtics.”

During the 2000-2001 season, Herren played 25 games and left the team after tearing his rotator cuff.

Herren said that in 2001, he was chosen to play for Fortitudo Bologna in Italy, the topranked team in Europe.

By then, Herren, 24, was married with two children and unbeknownst to anyone, he smuggled 800 milligrams of OxyContin onto the plane.

However, he soon ran out of pills and because of the language barrier, he had no way of getting more. That was when Herren began shooting heroin.

“Heroin will kick open your front door,” he said.

One day, Herren’s coach appeared at his home to pick him up for an impromptu 10day training camp. Knowing that he was in no condition to attend, Herren quit the team and moved his family to Portsmouth, R.I. After moving back to New England, Herren said he went to the same Dunkin’ Donuts every day to buy a tea for his wife, Munchkins for his children as well as a coffee – and heroin – for himself.

In December 2004, after buying heroin from his dealer, Herren overdosed and passed out while driving, which sent him into a cement wall. He was then arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of a controlled substance and

driving with a revoked license.

Herren said that when he bailed out of jail five hours later, the first phone call he made was to his dealer to get more heroin.

“What he sold me was so good it almost killed me,” he said.

Vodka was next in line to take hold of Herren’s life.

“In my 30s, I fell in love with vodka,” he said. “It helps you forget.”

A time later, Herren crashed his vehicle into a cemetery gate after another heroin overdose.

“I was initially unresponsive to Narcan,” he said.

After being taken into police custody, the officer told him: “You don’t know me, but when I was a little boy, I used to look up to you.”

Although Herren still had a court summons, the officer released him.

While in the hospital following the crash, Herren was despised and treated like any other addict.

By then, all he wanted to do was end his life.

After being discharged eight days later, Herren saw a nurse running after him. It so happened that she had gone to high school with his mother who he had lost to cancer four years earlier.

She said his mother was acting through her and begging him to return to treatment.

Herren later received a phone call from Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors and his wife Elizabeth who suggested a rehabilitation facility in Rhinebeck, N.Y. While Herren was in New York, his wife, Heather, called to say that she was in labor with their third child.

His counselor allowed him

to leave the facility to go be with his wife. Herren said that for the first time, he was sober throughout the entire birth.

His oldest child, nine-yearold Christopher, said: “There’s a lot of people mad at you, but I still want you to be my father.”

Herren told Heather that he needed to take a walk and would be right back. He walked to the closest liquor store and bought and drank a pint of vodka. That night, he shot up more heroin.

When Herren returned to the hospital, he said Heather told him: “You’ve broken my heart a million times.” She also told him to say goodbye to his children because he would never see any of them again.

“There was nothing left to live for,” said Herren.

After learning what happened, Herren’s counselor told him: “Of course you lost your family son. They deserve way more than you.”

Herren said that on Aug. 1, 2008, he was finally able to make the change that he should have made years earlier and has been sober for nearly a decade.

Herren, now 42, said he was also able to reconcile with his wife and his children.

“They know me now. It was the only sorry they ever wanted,” he said.

Regarding the current opioid crisis, Herren said wellness should be a core requirement in every school district.

Herren also said many parents cannot talk to their children about drugs and alcohol, when in fact, they used to do the same things themselves.

“Your first party, your first kiss, some of you were drunk just to get through it,” he said.

n February, Lynnfield resident Ellen Crawford received a Lynnfield Town Pride Award at the Lynn Area Chamber of Commerce (LACC) Annual Meeting & Business Excellence Award night. She has been a community volunteer for over 30 years.

“From small school fundraisers to town-wide referendums, Crawford has participated with passion and purpose and is most deserving of this recognition,” said LACC President & CEO Leslie Gould.

Crawford has been a champion volunteer for the schools.

Her legacy began back in 1987 when she coached her children in t-ball and soccer once they had started elementary school; it was a natural transition to join the PTO, and she quickly became President. In her 10 years at the school, her fundraising efforts exceeded $300,000, allowing for a complete renovation of the media center and the schools two playgrounds. Crawford followed her four children through middle school and high school, continuing her support through the PTOs. She was Chairperson for multiple Moving On ceremonies as well as Post Prom events,

and she served on the executive board of the Lynnfield Athletic Association, which raises funds for all high school athletes. Eventually, Crawford was a member of the School Building Committee that undertook the project of renovating all four public schools and creating a new senior center, including a town-wide yard sale of the middle school contents!

Crawford is a 31-year member of St. Maria Goretti Parish, where she was a religious education teacher for 16 years, a Co-Chair for the 40th Anniversary and 50th Jubilee celebrations and a coordinator of countless Christmas pageants and sacramental ceremonies.

As a passionate competitor, Ellen began working on local political campaigns; she enjoys the thrill of strategizing, executing and winning, and she has 12 successful Selectman races under her belt.Ellen was extremely instrumental in the grassroots campaign that worked closely with town government and the developer on a project that is now known as Market Street!

She attributes her drive and commitment to working in her family’s fruit business,

where she cultivated an incredible work ethic and cando attitude.

She is a successful Realtor. Her numerous town affiliations include the following: Lynnfield Townscape, Friends of Lynnfield Library, Friends of Lynnfield Senior Center, and Lynnfield Home & Garden Club. She volunteers at My Brother’s Table and cochairs the Catholic Charities Toy Drive. She is also Captain of her tennis team.

Crawford married her high school sweetheart, and they are celebrating 34 years together. They have four children and two grandchildren.

Past recipients of the Lynnfield Town Pride Award are former Town Manager William Gustus, Head Librarian Nancy Ryan, John “Jack” Donegan (posthumously) and former Selectmen Al Merritt, Arthur Bourque and Bob MacKendrick.

Over 300 business owners and community leaders attended the event. Over 40 businesses were nominated and/or received awards in 15 categories. LACC represents the business communities of Lynn, Lynnfield, Nahant and Swampscott.

WEIDMAN | FROM PAGE 1 ball staff. He was a Pioneers assistant for three years before becoming head coach at Ayer and Marlboro High Schools.

But when another opening became available on the Lynnfield football coaching staff 13 years ago, he went back to his adopted sports home. He was an assistant for three years before assuming the head coaching job, a position that he has held with distinction for the last 10 years.

His teams throughout the past decade compiled a 7834 record. They have won seven Cape Ann League titles and two divisional championships.

They played in 15 postseason games, including one Super Bowl and three Division 3 North finals, the last of which was last November, when Watertown pulled off the upset.

The Savvy Caregiver Program is a FREE, six week training series for family caregivers.

The Savvy Caregiver Program helps caregivers better understand the changes their loved ones are experiencing, and how to best provide individualized care. Wednesday, March 21st thru Wednesday, May 2nd, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. No class on April 4th. Please sign up.

Weidman, a Boxford resident, has three sons: Hudson, 13; Cal, 10; and Trip, 8. He currently helps out the Masco youth basketball and baseball programs as a coach.

He says if one of his assistants wants to apply for his job, he will support them, but not get involved in the decisionmaking process to select his successor. He would like to attend games next year as a fan of the program, but admits at first it might be “too painful” to watch many of his former players.

Weidman has no plans to coach a high school team in the foreseeable future. But there’s no doubt that he put his heart and soul into the Lynnfield football program the last 13 years, and he now leaves it with a winning tradition that attracts the elite athlete annually.

Visiting Ballinaheglish About 15 years ago, I accompanied my friend MJ and her family to Ireland. When I mentioned my Roscommon roots, her husband Brendan replied, “Oh, I know Ballinaheglish. It’s only about a half hour from my family’s farm in Galway.” So the day after our arrival with their youngsters in tow, we headed for the Boland ancestral seat.

We rummaged through the local cemetery, fending unkempt grass and roughage and discovering several family headstones whose engravings had grown faint with time.

The town itself consisted of a small general store with a gas pump outside, and St. Patrick’s Church where Pa Boland was christened on December 17, 1865, nine days after his birth.

I thought, “Wow, this church is in too good a condition to have been standing when Pa was baptized. It must have been rebuilt.” But I learned otherwise.

No one was around so we drifted across the street to the general store. There on the

Page 11 counter was a stack of paperback books with the title “Ballinaheglish 2001.” The work is a delightful 600-page compilation of history, biography, school memories, sports highlights, poems and village doings through the years. The first chapter provides details about the continuous improvements to St. Patrick’s Church. Built in 1785, the thatched roof was replaced in 1855 with frequent upgrades to the structure until the present day. Not until I returned home did I notice the family picture in the book of Michael Boland, his wife, and seven adult children taken in 1910 outside their cottage. Michael was the oldest son in the family and presumably had “inherited the farm” such as it was.

Endings Pa Boland lived on until he approached his eightieth year. His obituary in the Lynn Item was typical of the period, listing all of those who sent floral tributes and “spiritual bouquets,” plus the names of those who served as pallbearers, including my father and uncles.

According to my mother, when Pa Boland was dying, he thought he was under a hawthorn tree amidst the green fields of Roscommon. He never went back.

The measure puts an end to legislative per diems which are travel, meals and lodging reimbursements collected by the legislators.

These reimbursements were given to legislators above and beyond their regular salaries.

Another provision increases the annual general expense allowance for each legislator from $7,200 to $15,000 for members whose districts are within a 50mile radius of the Statehouse and to $20,000 for districts located outside of that radius.This allowance is used at the discretion of individual legislators to support a variety of costs including the renting of a district office, contributions to local civic groups and the printing and mailing of newsletters. Legislators are issued a 1099 from the state and are required to report the allowance as income but are not required to submit an accounting of how they spend it.

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

This week Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on some of the bills that were approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker so far in the 20172018 session.

Of the more than 6,000 bills that have been filed for consideration, only 212 have been approved and signed by the governor. And only a handful of those were bills that affected the entire state while the vast majority were either sick leave banks or local land taking measures.

Sick leave banks allow public employees to voluntarily donate sick, personal or vacation days to

2017 when they were approved.

“It is fiscally irresponsible and the process on it was inappropriate,” said Gov. Baker.

DeLeo defended the raises and noted two independent commissions had recommended many of the hikes. “Raises of any type are always the subject of disagreement … I don’t think there’s ever a right time or right place,”he said.

“Congratulations taxpayers, you now have the highest paid House speaker and Senate president of any state legislature in the nation,” said Chip Ford, Executive Director of Citizens for Limited Taxation.

“The Best Legislature Money Can Buy has struck again to make Massachusetts Number One.” “My standard for judging these things is this: Are we paying a salary adequate enough to enable a family breadwinner or a professional to run for the office?” asked Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington).

“This will be the first pay raise in recent memory big enough to draw the interest of people employed in the private sector today. Any re-

$151,800 to $185,000; and provides hikes for the other five constitutional officers. It also requires that every two years the salaries of the governor, the other five constitutional statewide officers and the House speaker and Senate president be increased or decreased based on data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages.

Another provision requires that the same formula is used every two years to increase or decrease the stipends that more than 100 other legislators receive for their service in Democratic or Republican leadership positions, as committee chairs or vice chairs and as the ranking Republican on some committees. There is a caveat in all these cases that the amount of money they receive can never be less than it was in February 2017 when the proposal took effect.

There was no shortage or reaction to the raises back in January

THE LYNNFIELD ADVOCATE – Friday, March 16, 2018

BEACON | FROM PAGE 12 The package also gives a $65,000 housing allowance for the governor. Massachusetts is one of only six states that supplied neither a governor’s residence nor a housing allowance, even as Boston is among the most expensive housing markets of any of the state capitals.

The House and Senate attached an emergency preamble to the measure. That meant it went into effect immediately instead of in the usual 90 days. The preamble says, “Whereas, the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to make certain changes in the law for compensation of public officials, therefore, it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.”

Voters are not allowed to collect signatures to put a question repealing the pay raises on the November 2018 ballot because the package includes judicial pay hikes which under the Massachusetts Constitution cannot be the subject of a repeal on the ballot.

(A “Yes” vote is for overriding Gov. Baker’s veto and is for the pay raise. A “No” vote is against overriding the governor’s veto and is against the pay raise.)

Rep. Bradley Jones No $200 MILLION FOR LOCAL ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 2783) House 159-0, Senate 36-0, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a bill authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The $200 million would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds.

Supporters said this would help cities and towns keep their roads and bridges safe.

(A “Yes” vote is for the $200 million.)

Rep. Bradley Jones Yes FAIRNESS FOR PREGNANT WORKERS (H 3816) House 150-0, Senate 38-0, approved and the governor signed into law the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act that prohibits an employer from discriminating against, refusing to employ or firing a woman because she is pregnant or has a condition related to pregnancy.

The measure guarantees reasonable accommodations and safety measures for pregnant mothers. Reasonable accommodations include time off to recover from childbirth; more frequent, longer paid or unpaid breaks; acquiring or modifying equipment or seating arrangements; and a private non-bathroom space for expressing breast milk -- unless any of these would create an undue hardship on the employer.

Supporters said a pregnant

woman should not have to fear losing her job when she could continue working with some reasonable adjustments. They argued that no one should have to choose between a healthy pregnancy and a weekly paycheck.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Bradley Jones Yes REGULATE MARIJUANA (H 3818) House 136-11, Senate 32-6, approved and Gov. Baker signed onto law a bill changing some provisions and adding other provisions to the law, approved by voters on the 2016 ballot, legalizing the possession, growing and sale of marijuana.

The measure taxes all marijuana sales with a 10.75 percent excise tax, 6.25 percent state sales tax and a local option allowing cities and towns to impose an additional tax of up to 3 percent.

In addition, any agreement between a retail marijuana establishment and a host community for the first five years may include a community impact fee of up to another 3 percent paid by the seller to the city or town to cover the costs imposed upon the municipality by the operation of the establishment. Medical marijuana remains tax-free.

If a city or town voted for the 2016 marijuana ballot question, the decision to prohibit or restrict marijuana establishments will be determined by a local city or town wide referendum.

If a city or town voted against the ballot question, the decision would be made by the municipality’s governing body until December 2019 and then by a local city or town wide referendum.

Other key provisions of the new law include: Allowing persons over 21 to give an ounce or less of marijuana to others; possess up to one ounce of marijuana outside their home and ten ounces in their home. Any quantity above one ounce in the home must be under lock and key.

Allowing each person to grow six plants per person in his or her home, with a maximum of 12 plants per household.

Prohibiting plants that can be visible by neighbors or from a public place and putting growing areas under lock and key.

Giving landlords the right to prohibit smoking or growing of marijuana on their properties.

Allowing advertising on TV, radio, billboard, print or the Internet only in markets where at least 85 percent of the audience is over 21.

Banning retail shops from being located near school zones.

The response to the new law was mixed.

Jim Borghesani, Director of Communications for “Yes on 4,” the group that led the campaign to legalize marijuana said that he favors the lower 12 percent tax that voters approved and noted that while the final 20 percent

tax is higher than he wanted, it is not nearly as high as the House’s original 28 percent tax.

“We have said all along that the law passed by voters … needed no fixes or improvement,” said Borghesani. “But the Legislature decided to change it, and we fought hard to ensure that the changes respected the will of the voters as much as possible. The final bill, thanks to the Senate’s moderate approach, did not include the damaging components of the House approach.”

Rep. Diana DiZoglio (DMethuen) said she couldn’t support the bill because it did not include a substance abuse fund to combat the opioid epidemic and to pay for overall substance abuse prevention, education, treatment and recovery initiatives. She noted that the House leadership proposed raising taxes on marijuana to 28 percent, higher than what was passed on the ballot, citing the need to create such a fund.

“When the final bill reached the floor, however, the bill had no substance abuse fund included but still raised the tax from 12 percent that voters approved to 20 percent,” said DiZoglio. “The additional marijuana revenue that was supposed to be used for a substance abuse fund will now instead be subject to appropriation and directed to the General Fund.”

(A“Yes”vote is for the bill. A“No” vote is against it.)

Rep. Bradley Jones Yes ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (H 4032) House 155-1, Senate 37-0, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that would give public school districts the power and flexibility to offer other English Language Learner (ELL) programs in addition to or instead of the current sheltered English immersion program. The current immersion program, approved by Massachusetts voters on a ballot question in 2002, requires all students, including those not yet fluent in English, to be taught English by being taught all subjects in English and to be placed in English language classrooms.

Supporters said since the year 2000, the number of ELL students in Massachusetts has doubled to more than 90,000 students or 9.5 percent of the entire student population.They argued that schools need the flexibility to implement a program that will fit the needs of their students rather than the “one size fits all” current law. They said that the English immersion mandate is not working and noted that these students continue to lag behind their peers in high school graduation rates and going to college.

The lone opponent offered no arguments.

(A“Yes”vote is for the bill. A“No” vote is against it.)

Rep. Bradley Jones Yes HANDICAPPED PARKING (H

Page 13

3973) House 154-0, Senate 37-0, approved and the governor signed into law a measure cracking down on the misuse of handicapped parking placards including increasing the period of license suspension for wrongful use or display of a placard from 30 to 60 days for a first offense and from 90 to 120 days for a second offense.

Another provision would prohibit the obstruction of the expiration date or placard number and subject an offender to a $50 fine. The measure also prohibits making a false statement on an application for a placard and imposes a fine of $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for subsequent offenses.

Supporters said it is time to crack down on these offenders who are taking spaces that should be used by a handicapped person. They noted a report by the Inspector General revealed widespread abuse of these placards.

They noted that many placards still in use belonged to people who had died and said the placards can be used to park all day at most metered spaces, resulting in millions of dollars in lost meter fees to cities and towns.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Bradley Jones 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 March 5-March 9, the House met for a total of six hours and two minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and five minutes.

THE LYNNFIELD ADVOCATE – Friday, March 16, 2018

~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~

More issues with the rail trail Dear Editor, At the Lynnfield Selectmen’s Meeting on Monday, March 5, 2018, the Lynnfield Recreational Path Committee gave a presentation on their report regarding the proposed rail trail between Lynnfield and Wakefield.

At this meeting they referenced their report which states that “Lynnfield would need to formally authorize expenditures for the final design work that will cost approximately $300,000”.

That would be in addition to possible construction overrides, removal of contaminated soil, yearly maintenance costs, and eventual replacement of the 2 mile paved trail and the extremely expensive .6 mile raised causeway through Reedy Meadow., At the April 2017 Town Meeting, Lynnfield residents were presented with Warrant Article 24 asking if we wanted to allow our Board of Selectmen to enter into a 99 year lease agreement with the MBTA, which would commit us to building the trail.

The proponents of the trail had a large projection on the screen stating that the trail would cost the taxpayers of Lynnfield ZERO DOLLARS, but this turns out not to be true. Because they were not asking for any money at the time, they only needed a simple majority, and it passed by just ONE VOTE. Any appropriation of money needs to be passed by a twothirds vote. When it comes up at our next Town Meeting, there is a much greater chance that it will be de-

feated. If the money is appropriated and the engineering report is completed, the project may still be defeated when it goes on the town ballot next year, and we would have just thrown away $300,000! Both the Lynnfield Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee DID NOT recommend Article 24, and the lease has not been signed.

Right now our schools are being forced to make cutbacks. We need funds for new town buildings, our town employees’ retirement funds and many other projects. This trail is not a priority, and taxpayer dollars should not be wasted on it.

Anyone who wants to get exercise in Lynnfield can simply walk out their front door onto one of our many miles of sidewalks, or they can use the nearby trail in West Peabody which costs us NOTHING to use.

Also in the Path Committee’s report, they recommend that the trail terminate at either Jordan Park or at the High School because there is no parking available where the trail was planned to end at the Peabody line nor at the Summer Street crossing in Lynnfield center. They suggest making the parking lots at the High School and Jordan Park the ONLY parking for the ENTIRE TRAIL in Lynnfield! As it stands now, the lot at Jordan Park cannot accommodate the volume of traffic coming in to use the two fields.

In addition to the Lynnfield residents using the fields, they are being leased out to

neighboring towns, so four teams come to use it at the same time. Overflow vehicles now park on both sides of Wildewood Drive and on other abutting roads, creating dangerous traffic jams.

Proponents of the trail are seeking to expand the Jordan Park lot by cutting down many large trees and paving over the existing playground for trail park ing, which would expose abutters to more vehicles behind their homes. If the lot is expanded, it would help reduce the existing problem for the fields, but if trail parking is also incorporated, it would force overflow vehicles onto the streets again! How does that make any sense? Residents in the area should let the Selectmen know about their concerns for such a plan.

At the High School, there is also a serious problem with students having to park on area streets because of the lack of parking. This makes for a dangerous situation for students and other drivers as well as upsetting residents who have to deal with the added congestion. Trail parking would only make this situation worse.

Other towns have several small parking lots in remote areas along their trails, in addition to large municipal lots. It would be unconscionable for residents of these neighborhoods, who bought in Lynnfield seeking a peaceful place to live, to carry the entire burden of all the additional traffic and noise that

Tips and Resources for Older Job Seekers

Dear Savvy Senior, What resources can you recommend to help older job seekers? I’m 60 and have been out of work for nearly a year now and need some help.

Seeking Employment Dear Seeking, While the U.S. job market has improved dramatically over the past few years, challenges still persist for many older workers.

To help you find employment, there are job resource centers and a wide variety of online tools specifically created for older job seekers. Here’s where you can find help.

Job Centers Depending on where you live, there are career service centers located throughout the U.S. that can help you find a job.

One of the best is the American Job Center (AJC) that has around 2,500 centers nationwide. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration, AJCs are free-to-use resource centers that can help you explore your career options, search for jobs, find training, write a resume, prepare for an interview and much more. To find a center near you, call 877-872-5627 or go to CareerOneStop.org.

Some other good programs for older workers include the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), and AARP’s Back To Work 50+ program.

The SCSEP – sponsored by the Department of Labor – helps place income-eligible workers over age 55 in part-time, temporary community service positions where they can learn job skills. To learn more or locate a program in your area visit DOLETA.gov/seniors or call 877-872-5627.

AARP’s Back To Work 50+ program currently offers workshops in 19 locations around the U.S. that provide career counseling, job coaching and skills development for 50-plus job seekers. Or, if you can’t attend their workshop, they also offer an excellent guide called “7 Smart Strategies for 50+ Jobseekers.”To get a free copy, or see if there’s a workshop in your area call 855-850-2525.

If none of the above programs are available in your area, check with your local public library or nearby community college to see if they provide career services.

Job Search Sites There are also a number of online job search sites that can help you connect with companies that are looking for mature, experienced workers.

Some good sites for 50 and older job seekers include: WhatsNext.com, which offers a job search site and has online assessment tools, calculators, career guides and career coaches to help you; RetiredBrains.com that provides information on finding temporary or seasonal jobs, as well as starting your own business, working from home, writing your resume, finding full-time work, and continuing your education; RetirementJobs.com that lets you post your resume and search for full-time or part-time jobs online; and Workforce50.com, which has job search functions and a list of favorite age-friendly employers by industry. It also gives you the ability to sign up for job alerts.

Work at Home If you’re interested in working at home, there are many opportunities depending on your skills, but be careful of workat-home scams that offer big paydays without much effort.

Some popular work-at-home jobs include sales and marketing, customer service, teaching and tutoring, writing and editing, Web development and design, consulting, interpreting and medical coding just to name a few.

To find these types of jobs, a good place to start is FlexJobs. com, which filters out the job scams and lists thousands of legitimate work-at-home jobs in dozens of categories. You can gain access to their listings for $15 for one month, $30 for three months or $50 for a year.

Start a Business If you’re interested in starting a small business but could use some help getting started, the U.S. Small Business Administration offers tips, tools and free online courses that you can access at SBA.gov.

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.
