udge Keith Long of the Massachusetts Land Court recently upheld a decision made two years ago by the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) regarding a cease and desist order for the luxurious Airbnb at 8 Needham Rd. In his 17-page ruling rendered on Sept. 19, Long said Plaintiff Alexander Styller began renting out his single-family home in 2015. Long said Styller used online listing services, such as AirBnB, HomeAway, Tripz, Vacation HomeRentals and Flipkey/TripAdvisor to market the property. With rental fees ranging from “$1,000 and $2,740” a night, the home featured five bedrooms, a three-car garage, an indoor bar and an outdoor pool and patio.

According to realtor.com, the home was sold on July 20 of this year for $2 million. In May 2016, Styller was contacted by Woody Victor, who wanted to rent the house during Memorial Day Weekend for himself and “five guests.”

“Mr. Styller had not met Mr. Victor or any of his guests before and, prior to agreeing to the rental, all he knew about them came from Mr. Victor’s few brief texts arranging the rental and what Mr. Styller could locate about Mr. Victor on social media,” said Long. “Despite this limited knowledge, Mr. Styller made the rental in accordance with his usual practice.”

After receiving the $6,418 rental fee, Styller gave Victor the keys on May 27.

“From that moment on, Mr. Victor had sole and exclusive possession of the house for the entirety of the three-day stay with no visits, monitoring or supervision from Mr. Styller,” said

Long.

As it turned out, Victor had something much more elaborate in mind. “His actual plan was to hold a large party lasting far into the night and ultimately over 100 people came to the house for the party,” said Long.

However, Long said revelry turned to tragedy at approximately 3 a.m. on May 29 when Keivan Heath, 33, of Randolph, was shot to death. The shooter was never identified.

In response, Building Inspector John Roberto issued Styller a cease and desist order on May 31 “prohibiting further short term rentals without a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals.”

Styller then filed an appeal with the ZBA; however, the board upheld Roberto’s original order. The town’s zoning bylaw was also amended to prohibit single-family homes from being rented for “30 days or less.”

From there, Styller took the matter to the state Land Court on Dec. 23, seeking action against Roberto and the ZBA. He maintained that the amended bylaw was not applicable to his property as it was protected under grandfather rights.

However, Long did not agree.

“I find and rule that Mr. Styller’ s short-term rentals of his residential property without a special permit are, and always have been, in violation of the applicable Lynnfield zoning bylaws, and have no ‘grandfathered’ protection,”he said.“They are thus subject to the current zoning bylaw which prohibit rentals of thirty days or less in his Single Residence District, and the Zoning Board’s Decision prohibiting Mr. Styller from making such rentals is thus affirmed.”

he Friends of the Lynnfield Rail Trail recently released parking data for the proposed trail and how it compares to the parking arrangements of other Rail Trails on the North Shore.

According to the Friends g r o u p, c o n s u l t i n g f i r m Beals+Thomas recommends

that a Rail Trail have “20-50” parking spaces per mile.

Lynnfield’s section of the trail would be 2.5 miles long and would have 328 parking spaces per mile for a total of 819 spaces. Wakefield’s section would be 1.9 miles long and would have 142 spaces per mile for a total of 270 spaces.

In contrast, the Rail Trail in Danvers is 4.3 miles long and

Police report rash of vehicle break-ins

By Christopher Roberson

O

n Sept. 21, the Lynnfield Police Department reported seven vehicle break-ins between 6:24 a.m. and 6:16 p.m.

There were two break-ins on Maple Street, one on Grove Street, one on Brook Drive, two on Salem Street and one

T

on Harvey Park. Police also received a report of a motor vehicle larceny at 7:05 a.m. at 3 Grove St. Chief David Breen said each vehicle was left unlocked overnight and that it appears that only loose change was taken.

“We haven’t had many breakins in quite a while,” he said,

adding that these crimes typically occur in large groupings.

In addition, Breen said there is video footage of someone going from car to car on a bike, which was also the case earlier this year during a string of break-ins in South Peabody.

However, Breen could not say if this was the same person.

Residents might experience discolored water, low pressure or no pressure during this process. Discolored water should clear after running cold water for a short period of time. Residents are also advised to avoid doing laundry during the flushing period and to check their water first by running cold water for a few minutes after each day’s flushing period before starting their washing machine. If customers experience lower pressure at a faucet after the flushing, they should check the faucet screen for particles which may have collected and clean it out if necessary.

Customers may contact the LCWD office at 781-334-3901 with any questions.

Mother of Sandy Hook Victim to Speak at St. Maria Goretti Church on November 18

L

ynnfield – Scarlett Lewis, mother of Jesse, a victim of the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, will be speaking on the “Choose Love Movement” at Saint Maria Goretti Church (112 Chestnut Street, Lynnfield) on Sunday, November 18, at 6:30 pm.This event is sponsored by the Lynnfield Clergy Association and is open to the Lynnfield-Wakefield community and surrounding towns.

Six-year-old Jesse was murdered in his first-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012, alongside 19 of his classmates and six educators in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history.In a true act of courage and love, he used his final moments to heroically save six of his classmates while he stayed by his teacher’s side.

Using Jesse’s example of courage, Scarlett decided to become part of the solution to the violence we are experiencing today and started a worldwide movement to choose love. In Scarlett’s words,“Although we can’t choose what happens to us, we can always choose how to respond.

Children can learn to choose a loving thought over an angry one.”

The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement is a charitable organization with a mission to empower children with social and emotional learning tools, and to facilitate spreading this sensibility in families, schools, and communities.

In Jesse’s honor, his mother Scarlett has dedicated her life’s work to spreading the message he left on his family’s kitchen chalkboard shortly before he died…“Nurtur-

ing, Healing Love”.

opment. “Those two tie very close together,” she said.

Keane also lauded the work of former Director Kara Mauro, who left the district over the summer to become the

new assistant superintendent of schools in Wakefield.

“Kara Mauro left Student Services in very good shape, and I’ve thanked her several times,” said Keane.

Memo to: Town of Lynnfield Board of Selectmen From: Lynnfield Center Water District Board of Commissioners Dated: September 24, 2018

Subject: Response to Proposed Resolution by Richard Dalton, Chairman, Town of Lynnfield Board of Selectmen The Lynnfield Center Water District (hereinafter the “District”) has conferred with its legal counsel regarding the proposed resolution proffered by Chairman Dalton. An excerpt of Attorney Christopher T. Casey’s, managing partner of Casey & Lundregan, P.C. in Salem, opinion is as follows: First: the resolution, even if adopted by the Board of Selectmen, will have no legal force and effect against the LCWD. As Chairmen Dalton, himself, acknowledges in his resolution, “water service in the Town of Lynnfield is not provided by the town government, but by two independent water districts chartered by the state legislature.” Specifically, the LCWD was created as an independent “body corporate” by Chapter 336 of the Acts of 1939.

On Chairman Dalton’s suggestion that the by-laws be revised to ban District employees from serving on the Board of Water Commissioners, Attorney Casey comments as follows: Nothing in the Act that created the LCWD, Chapter 336 of the Acts of 1939, or in any of the amendments thereto, Chapter 392 of the Acts of 1956, Chapter 12 of the Acts of 1964, and Chapter 606 of the Acts of 1968, or in the LCWD’s by-laws, prohibits an employee of the LCWD from also serving on the Board…Section 21A of the Conflict of Interest Law, Mass.Gen.L. 268A, prohibits the simultaneous service of an individual (i) in a job or position that is supervised by a district board, and (ii) as a member of that board, unless such simultaneous service is approved by the Board at its Annual Meeting, pursuant to Mass.Gen.L. c. 41, § 4A. Given this already-existing, substantial limitation upon the simultaneous service of an individual (i) as an employee, and (ii) as a member of that board, there appears to be no good reason for the LCWD to revise its bylaws in the manner proposed by Chairman Dalton.

On Chairman Dalton’s suggestion that a search committee for the Superintendent position be comprised of ratepayers and a member of the Board of Selectmen, Attorney Casey comments as follows: The Massachusetts Legislature made a deliberate decision to create the LCWD as an independent body corporate, outside the jurisdiction of the Lynnfield municipal government. The proposal to include a member of the Board of Selectmen on some kind of search committee to recommend finalists for the Superintendent’s job — or any other position, for that matter — is not provided for under any of the above-referenced statutory authority. Moreover, there is an open question as to whether — without special legislation — the service of a Selectman on any committee serving the LCWD would infringe the State Conflict of Interest Law, Mass.Gen.L. c. 268A. In general, § 17 of the conflict law prohibits a public official from acting as an agent for anyone other than the municipality for which he or she serves in connection with any matter in which the municipality is a party or has a direct and substantial interest even if the public official abstains from taking any official action on this matter.

On Chairman Dalton’s proposal that the District “continue free household testing services until project is complete,” Attorney Casey responds as follows: On its face, this proposal appears to be relatively innocuous. However, it must be borne in mind that the responsibility of the LCWD for the provision of clean water to the residents is limited to the public mains system; once the water enters a customer’s pipes, the responsibility devolves upon the customer. See the []LCWD Rules and Regulations…

Once the water leaves the public mains system and enters the customer’s pipes, the LCWD cannot be held responsible for any contamination that may be caused by those instrumentalities that are within the customer’s exclusive custody and control… Thus, it cannot be automatically presumed that any contaminated water that issues from a customer’s faucet must necessarily be the responsibility of the LCWD. Chairman Dalton’s proposed resolution proffered further suggestions to the District, most of which have already been implemented by the District and other suggestions that are agreeable to the commissioners.

ation Plan Committee, Madden learned that Lynnfield has many open spaces for people to enjoy. However, through her community survey analysis, she noted that many residents are not aware of the opportunities for hiking and enjoying nature. She believes that more can be done to provide information about these areas. In addition to gathering community input through a town-wide survey, Madden also created a “Lynnfield Open Space and Recreation” Facebook page to promote the town’s conservation areas on social media.

She also organized cleanup days and conducted nature walks with younger scouts and fellow Lynnfield High School students.

“Lucy’s project has been a great service to our Open Space and Recreation Committee,” said Martindale. “She has exhibited the kind of initiative, leadership, and community service that the Girl Scouts of America aspires to.

The Lynnfield Conservation Commission thanks her for choosing the improvement of our conservation lands for her project.”

Town to conduct inspections on homes not visited within nine years

T

he state Department of Revenue (DOR) mandates that all cities and towns physically inspect all properties at least every nine years. This is to ensure that the property data is correct in the computer-assisted mass appraisal system in order for the assessed values to be calculated accurately. The collection and maintenance of current and accurate property inven-

tory data is a critical element in determining uniform, fair market value.

In order to meet the DOR’s requirement, Patriot Properties staff, on behalf of the Board of Assessors, will conduct inspections for those properties that have not been visited within the last nine years. Their staff began inspections on Sept. 27, and they should be completed by

the end of October. They will have identification and a Letter of Authorization from the Board. Property owners will be asked for a complete interior and exterior inspection of your property. If a property

owner is not home, an exterior inspection will be conducted.

The Board of Assessors wishes to thank Lynnfield residents in advance for their support of this effort to improve the accuracy of their records

by completing this part of our cyclical inspection program.

If you have any questions, you can contact the Assessor’s office at (781) 334-9450 or email us at rboly@town. lynnfield.ma.us.

~ Letter to the Editor ~

Town must enforce bylaws with Boston Clear Water Dear Editor, am one of several neighbors of Boston Clear Water who have brought zoning complaints against Boston Clear Water Company related to its operation of Pocahontas Spring at 165 Lowell Street.

The complaints are currently under consideration by the Lynnfield Zoning Board of Appeals. A decision is expected at the Board’s upcoming hearing on October 2nd.

Since bringing the complaints, we have been inundated with questions from Lynnfield residents. I write to inform the community about the background of this unfortunate situation, describe the basic thrust of our complaint, and to urge every Lynnfield resident to encourage the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Selectmen and the Building Department, to take our complaints seriously and curtail Boston Clear Water’s unlawful activities in our town.

The former owners of Pocahontas Spring Water Company closed their business and ceased operations in the Spring of 2012. I have lived

on site. I am happy to share a copy of the Zoning Complaint we filed, and all of the supporting evidence, with anyone who wants to learn more.

Unfortunately, the Lynnfield Building Inspector declined to consider the evidence we presented, and we fear that the Zoning Board is prepared to do the same.

Boston Clear Water cannot lawfully operate its business on site, unless the Town officials responsible for enforcing the Zoning Bylaw fail to do their jobs. Had Boston Clear Water simply followed in the footsteps of the LeColsts, and confined its operation to that of the pre-existing business, it is unlikely my neighbors and I would have objected at all.

But Boston Clear Water intends to expand.

A large part of Boston Clear Water’s lot is protected wetlands, with buildings built on the edge of them that can never be modified. Then four years ago it all changed.

In the summer of 2016, Boston Clear Water built a “heal-

in my home, next door to the water company, for 34 years and 30 of those were peaceful, with no problems at all.

The Spring’s prior operators, the LeColsts, got along well with all of their neighbors.

Boston Clear Water appears determined to do the opposite.

Boston Clear Water purchased the land, and the company, in April 2014. Thereafter, according to Boston Clear Water’s filings with the state regulators, no water was sold at the property until 2015 at the earliest. This is important because the property is zoned for residential use, and the prior operation of Pocahontas Spring Water was only allowed because it was believed to have begun prior to Lynnfield enacting its Zoning By-Law, thus protected as a pre-existing nonconforming use. Under the By-Law, this protection lapses once the pre-existing use is not exercised for a period of two years. It is indisputable that from the Spring of 2012 through at least 2015, no water was produced and sold

Lynnfield residents’ weekly sing-alongs a big hit at Saugus Senior Center

F

or 8 years, Lynnfield residents Ben and Lourdes Lagman have led weekly singalongs at the Saugus Senior Center. “The day the Lagmans first stepped foot through our doors was the day the Saugus Senior Center became a better place,” noted Joanne Olsen, Director of the Saugus Council on Aging.

The couple first arrived to participate in another offering of the Center, but when they saw the piano in the corner of the hall, they knew instinctively that they could offer something that would bring joy to the seniors there.

Olsen explained, “Lourdes sat

down at the piano and filled the space with beautiful music that everyone could sing along to. Before we knew it, Ben was conducting a chorus group. They selflessly volunteer their time and talents, and so many people benefit.” What started with five or six participants has grown to nearly two dozen regulars who faithfully participate every week, many of whom look forward to this more than anything else in their week.

This is absolutely, unequivocally, not allowed in a protected wetland. These wetlands, which include Wills Brook, feed into the Ipswich River Water Shed, which then feeds our town wells. We were alarmed about the destruction of the wetlands. But more importantly, we feared the downstream effects; that at some point a poor, desperately sick person, with a highly infectious disease and hoping for healing, would come to bathe, or

what if oil from the construction equipment used would spill, or worse. Could this endanger all of us who rely on the town wells for our water?

The Lynnfield Conservation Committee, and Betty Adelson, worked tirelessly over an entire year dealing with this, and several other conservation issues and violations, by Boston Clear Water. They are the true “stewards of the land” and they were fierce in doing their job. Because of the seriousness, they actually did something that I understand they never do, called two special meeting just to deal with the water company. There were a total of twelve meetings that I attended. On my desk I have 49 pages of single

When they hear music from their youth -- from snapshots of the lives -- they are transported, and for at least a little while, memories are sharp, friends and spouses who have been long gone are there with them again, and the wheelchairs and walkers disappear. Now this chorus group has dubbed themselves “The

Friendly Voices of the Saugus Senior Center” and aside from their weekly singalong, they offer presentations to entertain Center audiences several times a year.

On Tuesday, September 11, the Ben and Lourdes were joined by their brother-in-law Bob Strickland; retired physician Jose Angeles; and profes-

sional musician Kook Lowry in a musical presentation, that included personal compositions by Dr. Angeles, Caribbean favorites, and familiar standards that all could join in on.

All are welcome to join in.

spaced minutes from the Conservation Committee meetings (2016-2017) that pertain solely to Boston Clear Water.

Boston Clear Water fought them on every single violation but the Conservation Committee held firm, and Boston Clear Water eventually complied. However, Boston Clear Water proceeded to sue the Commission not once, but twice, in Superior Court. One is still pending.

My neighbors and I spoke out about Boston Clear Water’s wetland violations at several Conservation Committee meetings, only to feel ridiculed, harassed, and intimidated by representatives of the water company. Last Thanksgiving, Boston Clear

Water sued me and my neighbors for defamation, and is seeking MILLIONS of dollars in damages. I have had to hire not one, but two lawyers to defend myself against this baseless, frightening lawsuit, even though all I did was petition the Town to enforce its own rules and regulations.

The Conservation Committee did its job and the town should collectively thank them for this. I hope I am able to say the same for other departments involved going forward.

There are water tankers parked on the Boston Clear Water land that should not be in this residential neighborhood. We were led to believe that the building de-

partment would see that they were removed. I invite you all to drive by 165 Lowell Street and see for yourselves. One of the tankers was parked at the bottom of the driveway, on a neighbor’s property two years ago. Yet, despite multiple complaints and requests for its removal, it is still sitting there.

Many people are naïve and this is probably especially true for rule-followers like me. We do what you are supposed to: come to a complete stop at a stop sign when there is no one around, pay the taxes we owe, recycle. If the town zoning bylaws say we need a permit, we get one. If we own property

Major Changes to VA pension benefit regulations impact veterans O

n September 18, 2018, the Veterans Administration (VA) published new rules that make it more difficult to qualify for VA Pension benefits that benefit senior and/or disabled veterans or their surviving spouses.

These benefits, including Aid and Attendance benefits, are available to eligible wartime Veterans or their surviving spouses who satisfy strict financial and medical requirements.The benefits can help defray care costs so veterans can get the care they need at home or in assisted living.

Under the new rules, any gifts made in the past 36 months, either to a family member or to an irrevocable trust, would be penalized.

Likewise, an investment in an annuity would also be

penalized. This means a Veteran or surviving spouse could be prohibited from qualifying for VA pension benefits for up to five years, depending on the value of the gift or transfer.

There are other requirements to the new rules, but the above are the most impactful to any wartime Veteran or surviving spouse wishing to pursue these benefits and receive a monthly cash benefit to help with care costs.

The good news is that anyone wishing to qualify can still take advantage of the current rules, so long as they complete that planning before the new rules go into effect on October 18, 2018.

Because the VA pension benefits impact those over age 65, it is important that

veterans consult an attorney to understand how planning may impact their eligibility for MassHealth (Medicaid) benefits in the future should it be needed.

For those unable to plan before the October 18th deadline, planning opportunities will still exist after, it just may take longer to qualify for such benefits.

Despite the negative impact of this rule change on our nation’s veterans, I am very happy to report some excellent news for veterans.

For many years, MassHealth has treated as “countable income” a considerable portion of VA pension benefits. This was deeply unfair to wartime veterans and their surviving spouses because it stripped them of vitally needed income

to pay for medical necessities and reduced the availability of MassHealth benefits to them.I and my fellow Elder Law attorneys in the nearly 500-member Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (MassNAELA) tried in vain for years to push MassHealth to stop this harmful practice, which we contend violates federal law.

MassNAELA also sought a legislative solution that achieved tremendous bipartisan support in the Commonwealth.Governor Bak-

er signed The BRAVE Act into law on August 9, 2018.

MassNAELA helped draft and lobby for Section 28 of this Act, which explicitly prevents MassHealth from treating any portion of VA pension benefits as countable income.

T h i s v i c t o r y w a s h a rd fought and will help protect our wartime veterans and their surviving spouses.

Field hockey team cruising in the early going with five quick wins T

he Lynnfield High School field hockey team is cruising in the early going with a 5-1 overall record, and 4-1 in the Cape Ann League. Their lone loss was against host Newburyport late last week, 3-1. But the Pioneers bounced right back to shut down Pentucket on Monday afternoon, 4-0.

Coach Mamie Reardon, beginning her 35th year along the sidelines, was hopeful that her team would get off to a quick start, because pretty much the entire roster is back from last year, save for five, who have graduated from the program.

Football, Pioneers still looking for first win in the Lamusta era

Lynnfield looks to get things turned around at Winthrop Friday night

P

at Lamusta is still looking for his first win as the Lynnfield High School football coach after his team dropped its third straight game last Friday night to host Amesbury, 30-8.

The Indians scored all of their points in the first half, before putting their offense in cruise control throughout the rest of the contest.

Lynnfield turned the ball over three times in the first half, and the home team took advantage of two of them with touchdowns. The Indians had a distinctive size advantage Junior quarterback Cooper Marengi was able to complete along the line of scrimmage, 10 passes for 123 yards last Friday against Amesbury.

Junior quarterback Cooper Marengi was able to complete 10 passes for 123 yards, and could have had another completion, but a pass to John Lee deflected off his hands into the waiting arms of a Lynnfield defender. Lee caught four passes in the game for 72 yards.

Jack Ford hauled in five of Marengi’s other offerings for 43 yards.

On defense, Cam Comeau was able to cause an Amesbury fumble by stripping the ball from one of its running backs.

The Pioneers have dominated Amesbury throughout the past decade, but on this par-

ticular night the Indians towered over them in just one of those games that you have to tip your hat to the victor.

The Pioneers hope to get untracked against the also struggling Winthrop Vikings Friday night in Winthrop, starting at 7 p.m. It’s a game that holds a great deal of significance for a team still in pursuit of a playoff spot against another club in the same division. They have three games in October against Manchester and Ipswich at home, and HamiltonWenham on the road, and if they can get things turned around against the Vikings this week the playoff push might just become a little bit more interesting.

But this is not about Boston Clear Water; this is about our Town, Lynnfield, and how it has let me down. I am pretty much exhausted, mentally and financially. I understand how

everyone is just so sick and tired of dealing with Boston Clear Water Company. Trust me, I am too. I understand that the Building Department and the Zoning Board do not wish to be sued by Boston Clear Water for doing their jobs. I too, am tired of litigation with Bos-

ton Clear Water. But I am even more tired of the Town, with the exception of the Conservation Committee and Chief Breen, for what they have failed to do to protect us.

In the beginning I was naive but I am not anymore. I urge every Lynnfield resident to en-

“I am more thrilled than I am nervous about attending MassCUE,” said Dickey. “I am still learning many things when it comes to the world of technology, but under the leadership and guidance of our knowledgeable Help Desk staff, I feel more than prepared about attending and sharing our accomplishments and goals for the future.”

Dickey said that during the conference she and the other three students will be presenting the “real world work” they do to facilitate the process of repairing Chromebooks. “Last year we documented, through videos and pictures, our repair process,” she said. “We plan on using these documentations to demonstrate how the students of Lynnfield High School are stepping up our

role in the repair process.”

Dickey said she views MassCUE as a tremendous learning experience. “Each school presents a different idea, a task they completed and a process they utilize,” she said.

“We hope that we learn from their experience and knowledge so we can further extend and improve our program here at Lynnfield High School.”

In addition, Dickey said at-

tending events like MassCUE only helps advance the knowledge of the Help Desk.

“The Help Desk at Lynnfield High School is expanding and thriving, and that is because we have a team here who is all willing to learn and make mistakes, willing to get uncomfortable by trying new things and especially, always willing to help better our school and those around us,” she said.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

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

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the number of times each senator sided with Republican Gov. Charlie Baker on his 48 vetoes of items, mostly in the fiscal 2019 state budget, in the 2018 session.

A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto in a full 40-member Senate when there are no vacancies. The governor needed the support of 14 senators to sustain a veto if all 40 senators voted -- and fewer votes if some members were absent or there were vacancies.

Baker fell far short of that goal as eight votes was the

most support he received on any veto. The Senate easily overrode all 48 vetoes, including five that were overridden unanimously.

The vetoes had little support among Democrats in the Senate. Only one of the chamber’s 31 Democrats voted with Baker to sustain any vetoes while the other 30 did not support the governor even once. The only Democratic senator who supported Baker was Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz (D-Boston), who supported him 31 times (64.5 percent of the time).

“I voted against overriding vetoes in the budget that would have reinstituted earmarks, which I have a longstanding policy of opposing,”

Although Fabrizio has attended MassCUE in the past, Dickey said this will be the first trip for her as well as for

Chang-Diaz told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “While some earmarks benefit wonderful organizations, overall I believe earmarking hurts our ability to plan long-term fiscal policy and undermines opportunities for fair, transparent, rigorous allocation of taxpayers’ dollars. I find other ways to go to bat for great organizations and causes.”

None of the Republicans voted with Baker 100 percent of the time.

The Republican senator who voted the greatest number of times with Baker was Sen. Vinny deMacedo (R-Plymouth): 23 times (47.9 percent of the time).

The GOP senator who voted with Baker the least number of times was Sen. Dean Tran (RLeominster): 6 times (12.5 percent of the time).

tor supported Baker. The number in parentheses represents the actual number of times the senator supported Baker.

Some senators voted on all 48 roll call votes. Others missed one or more of the 48 votes. Each record is based on the number of roll calls on which a senator voted and does not count the roll calls for which he or she was absent.

The Advocate’s Super Trivia Quiz

Agent Assistance Another way to get free assistance with your Medicare Advantage, prescription drug or Medigap plans is to use an agent or broker who specializes in Medicare-related insurance in your state. These people get paid a commission to sell you a policy from the insurance providers they represent.

There are federal rules and state laws governing agents or brokers who sell Medicare plans, which include things like barring them from showing up uninvited at your house to pitch a plan or trying to lure you with a cash offer. They also cannot legally charge you a fee to process your enrollment.

It’s also important to understand that commission-based agents and brokers will present only the Medicare plans they represent, rather than all the plans in your market. So, you may miss out on some plans that could benefit you.

Free Advice If you want personalized help with a Medicare specialist, contact the Medicare Rights Center or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program.

The Medicare Rights Center is a nonprofit group (MedicareInteractive.org) that offers a national helpline (800-333-4114) where staff members answer questions about Medicare, and can help you choose coverage, at no charge.

And your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which may go by a different name in your state, provides free one-on-one counseling in person or over the phone to beneficiaries, as well as family members and/or caregivers. SHIPs are federally funded programs that are not connected to any insurance company or health plan. To find a SHIP counselor in your area, see ShiptaCenter.org or call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116.

Another good resource, if you’re interested in choosing a new Medicare Advantage plan, is the HealthMetrix Research Cost Share Report at MedicareNewsWatch.com. This free website lists the best Advantage plans by area based on your health status.

Important Tools To get help with your Medicare decisions, a good starting point is to get re-familiar with the primary parts – traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage, supplemental (Medigap) policies and prescription-drug coverage – Medicare publishes an excellent guide called “Medicare & You” that you can access at Medicare.gov/medicare-and-you.

If you are already enrolled in Medicare Advantage or a Medicare Part D prescription-drug plan, it’s very important that you read and understand your “Annual Notice of Changes” and “Evidence of Coverage,” which should have arrived in the mail in September. These documents explain how your existing coverage will change in 2019 and how much you’ll pay for that coverage.

Your next step is to go Medicare’s online “Plan Finder” tool at Medicare.gov/find-a-plan. Here you can enter some basic information – your Medicare number and prescription drugs (name and dosage) – and it will produce a list of possible health-care plans in your area, the costs involved, drug coverage and customer-satisfaction ratings. Or, if you don’t have Internet access, or don’t feel confident in working through the information on your own, you can also call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and a customer service representative will do the work for you over the phone.

Dear Savvy Senior, I’m considering making changes in my Medicare coverage during the open-enrollment period. Can you recommend any free resources that can help with my choices?

Swapping Senior Dear Swapping, There are a number of good resources you can turn to that can help you choose Medicare coverage that better suites your needs, that’s completely free to use.

As you may already know, each year during Medicare’s open enrollment – Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 – all Medicare beneficiaries can change their coverage without penalty. Doing so, given that insurers are constantly tweaking their plans and offerings, could help lower your premiums and/or give you access to better care. Any changes you make to your coverage will take effect January 1, 2019.

as a member of that board, there appears to be no good reason for the LCWD to revise its bylaws in the manner proposed by Chairman Dalton.

On Chairman Dalton’s suggestion that a search committee for the Superintendent position be comprised of ratepayers and a member of the Board of Selectmen, Attorney Casey comments as follows: The Massachusetts Legislature made a deliberate decision to create the LCWD as an independent body corporate, outside the jurisdiction of the Lynnfield municipal government.

The proposal to include a member of the Board of Selectmen on some kind of search committee to recommend finalists for the Superintendent’s job — or any other position, for that matter — is not provided for under any of the above-referenced statutory authority. Moreover, there is an open question as to whether — without special legislation — the service of a Selectman on any committee serving the LCWD would infringe the State Conflict of Interest Law, Mass.Gen.L. c.

268A. In general, § 17 of the conflict law prohibits a public official from acting as an agent for anyone other than the municipality for which he or she serves in connection with any matter in which the municipality is a party or has a direct and substantial interest even if the public official abstains from taking any official action on this matter.

On Chairman Dalton’s proposal that the District “continue free household testing services until project is complete,” Attorney Casey responds as follows: On its face, this proposal appears to be relatively innocuous. However, it must be borne in mind that the responsibility of the LCWD for the provision of clean water to the residents is limited to the public mains system; once the water enters a customer’s pipes, the responsibility devolves upon the customer. See the [] LCWD Rules and Regulations… Once the water leaves the public mains system and enters the customer’s pipes, the LCWD cannot be held responsible for any contamination that may be caused by those instrumentalities that are within the customer’s exclusive custody and control…

Thus, it cannot be automatically presumed that any contaminated water that issues from a customer’s faucet must necessarily be the responsibility of the LCWD. Chairman Dalton’s proposed resolution proffered further suggestions to the District, most of which have already been implemented by the District and other suggestions that are agreeable to the commissioners.

THE LYNNFIELD ADVOCATE – Friday, September 28, 2018

Ask the Plumber From Concerned, I do not live in one of the towns affected by recent gas leaks and explosions, thank goodness. But hearing that some home owners will not have gas restored for months has me thinking about a few things. I have also heard a few

stories about people with gas appliances and heating systems changing over to propane in case something like this ever happens again.

My gas has been shut off several times over the years, luckily only for a short time because they were doing work further

down the line. I feel bad for the people hearing they may not have heat for several months, I never want to find myself in that position.

I have friends using Propane and they all seem to be happy with the cost and the service.

Now I am thinking of chang-

ing over and want to know will all my appliances and especially my heat and hot water system still work on Propane or do I have to change everything?

Also, I know I need to put a tank somewhere on my property, so what are the rules as far as where a tank can be located, and are they always buried, most of my friends have their tanks buried.

Dear Concerned, If you have gas appliances and heat and hot water you should be fine, however a conversion kit will be needed, mechanically this is not a big deal.

Personally, I like using Propane for heat, hot water, the clothes dryer, and cooking. Some customers I have even use Propane to heat their pool and their gas grill. When I first purchased my home, I removed the Oil tank, Oil fired boiler and an electric range and dryer. All those systems were up graded using Propane gas which is cleaner, much more efficient and my provider has been excellent.

In recent years, any customers we have converted from Oil to Propane have been glad they made the switch. You can have a tank or two installed on the side of your home or if you choose, you can bury a tank (up to 1,000 gals) underground.

The unfortunate citizens of the recent disaster have viable options, electric or Propane (LP as it is called) for hot water and heat. Those affected are

currently being offered electric hot plates and heaters for their homes. They should check with their local inspection service department to make sure their electrical system can handle this new equipment.

Should you decide to make the change from Natural Gas to either Propane or Electric, you should consult with and then hire a Licensed and fully insured Heating and Plumbing Contractor. If you do decide to make the change, consider going with a “Tankless On-demand System” that heats the house and supplies hot water as well.

These“Tankless On-demand Systems” burn cleaner, are very efficient and can be wall mounted taking up far less space than a traditional system with a boiler.
