Land Court upholds Needham Rd. zoning violation

By Christopher Roberson

Judge Keith Long of the Massa-chusetts 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 on-line listing services, such as AirB-nB, HomeAway, Tripz, Vacation HomeRentals and Flipkey/Tri-pAdvisor to market the proper-ty. 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 Memori-al Day Weekend for himself and “five guests.”

“Mr. Styller had not met Mr. Victor or any of his guests be-fore 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 me-dia,” said Long. “Despite this lim-ited 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 su-pervision from Mr. Styller,” said

Long.As it turned out, Victor had

something much more elab-orate in mind. “His actual plan was to hold a large party lasting far into the night and ultimate-ly over 100 people came to the house for the party,” said Long.

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

In response, Building Inspec-tor 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 amend-ed 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 resi-dential property without a spe-cial permit are, and always have been, in violation of the applica-ble Lynnfield zoning bylaws, and have no ‘grandfathered’ protec-tion,” he said. “They are thus sub-ject to the current zoning bylaw which prohibit rentals of thir-ty days or less in his Single Res-idence District, and the Zoning Board’s Decision prohibiting Mr. Styller from making such rentals is thus affirmed.”

Lynnfield Center Water District to continue water main flushing

The Lynnfield Center Water District (LCWD) will be con-

ducting a high-velocity water main flushing of the distribu-tion system during normal busi-ness until the end of October.

This is part of the ongoing reg-ular maintenance of the water distribution system.

Please refer to the district’s website, www.LCWD.US, for the complete listing of street sched-

ule dates and times for flush-ing. Any changes and updates to the schedule will be posted on the LCWD website.

Residents might experience discolored water, low pressure or no pressure during this pro-cess. Discolored water should clear after running cold water for a short period of time. Resi-dents are also advised to avoid doing laundry during the flush-ing period and to check their water first by running cold water for a few minutes after each day’s flushing period be-fore starting their washing ma-chine. 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.

Police report rash of vehicle break-insBy Christopher Roberson

On Sept. 21, the Lynnfield Police Department report-

ed seven vehicle break-ins be-tween 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

on Harvey Park. Police also re-ceived a report of a motor ve-hicle larceny at 7:05 a.m. at 3 Grove St.

Chief David Breen said each vehicle was left unlocked over-night and that it appears that only loose change was taken.

“We haven’t had many break-ins in quite a while,” he said,

adding that these crimes typi-cally 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 earli-er this year during a string of break-ins in South Peabody. However, Breen could not say if this was the same person.

Parking data presented for Wakefield-Lynnfield Rail Trail

By Christopher Roberson

The 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 spac-es. 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

has 52 spaces per mile for a total of “225-250” spaces. The Winchester Rail Trail is approxi-mately four miles long and has 150 spaces per mile for a total of “600-650” spaces. The Rail Trail in Topsfield runs for 3.9 miles and has 19 spaces per mile for a total of 73 spaces. Lastly, the Salisbury Rail Trail is 1.3 miles long with 13 spaces per mile for a total of 17 spaces.

Teachers as Scholars participants share experiencesBy Christopher Roberson

During the 2017-2018 school year, a handful of teachers

were chosen to participate in the elite Teachers as Scholars program – three of them re-cently went before the School Committee to discuss their ex-periences.

During the committee’s Sept. 25 meeting, Debra Gue-nard, a second-grade teacher at Summer Street Elementary School, said the Profession-al Development (PD) course she took at Harvard Univer-sity focused on the evolution of technology. “Today, people feel the need to be connected, but they are really more isolat-ed than ever,” she said, adding that she found the isolation component to be intriguing. “I appreciated this experience.”

Krista Wright, an English teacher at Lynnfield Middle School, also took a course at Harvard, on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. “The topics were very specific,” she said. “It was probably one of the best PD experiences I’ve

ever had.”Brent Ashley, an English

teacher at Lynnfield High School, said he thoroughly en-joyed his three-day course on dramatic stage plays with the Huntington Theatre Compa-ny. “Even though I was doing work, it wasn’t work,” he said. “It was weirdly fulfilling to me.”

Ashley said the course also boosted his confidence in the classroom. “Nothing is real-ly unapproachable; I loved it,” he said.

Founded in 1996, Teachers as Scholars currently offers seminars to more than 1,000 teachers in 52 districts in and near Boston.

Kevin Cyr, director of teach-ing and learning, brought the program to Lynnfield last year. “There’s a selective process to be part of Teachers as Schol-ars, you have to earn a spot,” he said, adding that the pro-gram is best suited for educa-tors who are looking to make a “learning stretch.”

Cyr also highlighted the benefit of bringing teachers together from different dis-

tricts. “When you’re going out-side the district, you’re open-ing the door for other educa-tors,” he said. “I look at this as a way of recognizing our ed-ucators.”

Student Services Entry Plan

In other news, Roberta Ke-ane presented her Entry Plan going forward as the direc-tor of Student Services. Dur-ing her presentation, Keane said her goals include assess-ing the district’s strengths and challenges, bolstering collab-oration and getting to know her colleagues. “I feel like I’m in a fact-finding stage,” she said.

Keane also said Tiered Fo-cused Monitoring will be done this year and will focus on pro-cesses and procedures. “It’ll give me the opportunity to look deeply into what we have in place,” she said. “The Tiered Focused Monitoring is really a look back.”

In addition, Keane spoke about the important connec-tion between educator eval-uations and educator devel-

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

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

new assistant superinten-dent of schools in Wakefield. “Kara Mauro left Student Ser-vices in very good shape, and I’ve thanked her several times,” said Keane.

Memo to: Town of Lynnfield Board of SelectmenFrom: Lynnfield Center Water District Board of CommissionersDated: 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 Chair-men 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 Commission-ers, 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 custom-er’s pipes, the LCWD cannot be held responsible for any contamination that may be caused by those instrumentalities that are within the cus-tomer’s exclusive custody and control… Thus, it cannot be automatical-ly 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.

Mother of Sandy Hook Victim to Speak at St. Maria Goretti Church on November 18Lynnfield – Scarlett Lewis, moth-

er of Jesse, a victim of the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, will be speaking on the “Choose Love Movement” at Saint Maria Gore-tti Church (112 Chestnut Street, Lynnfield) on Sunday, November 18, at 6:30 pm.This event is spon-sored by the Lynnfield Clergy As-sociation and is open to the Lyn-nfield-Wakefield community and surrounding towns.

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

Using Jesse’s example of cour-age, Scarlett decided to become part of the solution to the vio-lence we are experiencing today and started a worldwide move-ment to choose love. In Scarlett’s words, “Although we can’t choose what happens to us, we can al-ways 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 organi-zation with a mission to empower children with social and emotion-al learning tools, and to facilitate spreading this sensibility in fam-ilies, schools, and communities.In Jesse’s honor, his mother Scar-lett 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”.

Lucy Madden recognized for Girl Scout Gold Award projectPaul Martindale, chairman

of the Conservation Com-mission, presented a Certifi-cate of Appreciation to Lucy Madden for her Girl Scout Gold Award project during the commission’s Sept. 18 meeting. Madden’s work in-volved key updates to the

town’s Open Space and Rec-reation Plan, through survey analysis and social media outreach to identify practi-cal ways that Lynnfield’s rec-reational spaces could be improved and better used.

As an active member of the Open Space and Recre-

ation Plan Committee, Mad-den learned that Lynnfield has many open spaces for people to enjoy. Howev-er, through her communi-ty survey analysis, she not-ed that many residents are not aware of the oppor-tunities for hiking and en-joying 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 “Lyn-nfield Open Space and Rec-reation” Facebook page to promote the town’s conser-vation 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 Com-mittee,” said Martindale. “She has exhibited the kind of ini-tiative, leadership, and com-munity 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.”

Madden’s work fulfills the

requirements for her Girl Scout Gold Award – the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. The Gold Award recognizes girls who dem-

onstrate extraordinary lead-ership through remarkable “take action” projects that have sustainable impact in their communities.

Conservation Commission Chairman Paul Martindale recently presented Lucy Madden with a Certificate of Appreciation for her suggested updates to the town’s Open Space and Recreation Plan. Her efforts also fulfilled the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award. (Courtesy Photo)

LHS Field Hockey Team fundraiser supports MS

The LHS Field Hockey Team decided to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) this past Wednesday in support of their sophomore teammate and JV Goalie, Ava O’Brien, who was diagnosed with the disease in June. The three squads raised close to $600 in a special “orange” practice with each girl making a personal donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Online donations were not calculated (as of press time). The team will also be wearing orange hair ribbons and MS Awareness bracelets in upcoming games. (Courtesy photo)

Town to conduct inspections on homes not visited within nine years

The state Department of Revenue (DOR) mandates

that all cities and towns phys-ically inspect all properties at least every nine years. This is to ensure that the proper-ty data is correct in the com-puter-assisted mass apprais-al system in order for the as-sessed values to be calculat-ed 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 Prop-erties staff, on behalf of the Board of Assessors, will con-duct inspections for those properties that have not been visited within the last nine years. Their staff began in-spections on Sept. 27, and they should be completed by

the end of October. They will have identification and a Let-ter of Authorization from the Board. Property owners will be asked for a complete in-terior 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 resi-dents in advance for their sup-port 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 Asses-sor’s office at (781) 334-9450 or email us at rboly@town.lynnfield.ma.us.

Town must enforce bylaws with Boston Clear Water

Dear Editor,

I am one of several neighbors of Boston Clear Water who

have brought zoning com-plaints against Boston Clear Water Company related to its operation of Pocahontas Spring at 165 Lowell Street. The complaints are current-ly under consideration by the Lynnfield Zoning Board of Ap-peals. A decision is expected at the Board’s upcoming hear-ing on October 2nd.

Since bringing the com-plaints, we have been inun-dated with questions from Lynnfield residents. I write to inform the community about the background of this un-fortunate situation, describe the basic thrust of our com-plaint, and to urge every Lyn-nfield resident to encourage the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Selectmen and the Build-ing Department, to take our complaints seriously and cur-tail Boston Clear Water’s un-lawful activities in our town.

The former owners of Poca-hontas Spring Water Com-pany closed their business and ceased operations in the Spring of 2012. I have lived

in my home, next door to the water company, for 34 years and 30 of those were peace-ful, 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 oppo-site.

Boston Clear Water pur-chased the land, and the com-pany, in April 2014. There-after, according to Boston Clear Water’s filings with the state regulators, no water was sold at the property un-til 2015 at the earliest. This is important because the prop-erty 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 pro-tected as a pre-existing non-conforming use. Under the By-Law, this protection laps-es 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 wa-ter was produced and sold

on site. I am happy to share a copy of the Zoning Complaint we filed, and all of the sup-porting evidence, with any-one 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 offi-cials responsible for enforc-ing 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 in-tends to expand.

A large part of Boston Clear Water’s lot is protected wet-lands, 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, Bos-ton Clear Water built a “heal-

ing pool” behind their build-ing, in the protected wet-lands. This pool was adver-tised on the company’s own website. People were invit-ed to come and bathe. This is absolutely, unequivocally, not allowed in a protected wet-land. 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 wet-lands. But more importantly, we feared the downstream effects; that at some point a poor, desperately sick per-son, with a highly infectious disease and hoping for heal-ing, would come to bathe, or

what if oil from the construc-tion equipment used would spill, or worse. Could this en-danger all of us who rely on the town wells for our water?

The Lynnfield Conservation Committee, and Betty Adel-son, worked tirelessly over an entire year dealing with this, and several other conserva-tion 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 se-riousness, they actually did something that I understand they never do, called two spe-cial meeting just to deal with the water company. There were a total of twelve meet-ings that I attended. On my desk I have 49 pages of single

spaced minutes from the Con-servation Committee meet-ings (2016-2017) that pertain solely to Boston Clear Water. Boston Clear Water fought them on every single viola-tion but the Conservation Committee held firm, and Boston Clear Water eventual-ly 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 Wa-ter’s wetland violations at several Conservation Com-mittee meetings, only to feel ridiculed, harassed, and in-timidated by representatives of the water company. Last Thanksgiving, Boston Clear

Water sued me and my neigh-bors 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 pe-tition the Town to enforce its own rules and regulations.

The Conservation Commit-tee did its job and the town should collectively thank them for this. I hope I am able to say the same for other de-partments involved going forward.

There are water tankers parked on the Boston Clear Water land that should not be in this residential neigh-borhood. We were led to be-lieve 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 multi-ple complaints and requests for its removal, it is still sit-ting 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 by-laws say we need a permit, we get one. If we own property

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

For 8 years, Lynnfield resi-dents Ben and Lourdes Lag-

man have led weekly sing-alongs at the Saugus Senior Center. “The day the Lagmans first stepped foot through our doors was the day the Saugus Senior Center became a bet-ter place,” noted Joanne Olsen, Director of the Saugus Coun-cil on Aging.

 The couple first arrived to participate in another offer-ing of the Center, but when they saw the piano in the cor-ner of the hall, they knew in-stinctively 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 mu-sic that everyone could sing along to.  Before we knew it, Ben was conducting a cho-rus group. They selflessly vol-unteer their time and talents, and so many people bene-fit.”  What started with five or six participants has grown to nearly two dozen regulars who faithfully participate ev-ery week, many of whom look forward to this more than anything else in their week. 

When they hear music from their youth -- from snapshots of the lives -- they are trans-ported, and for at least a lit-tle while, memories are sharp, friends and spouses who have been long gone are there with them again, and the wheel-chairs and walkers disap-pear.  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 enter-tain Center audiences sever-al times a year.

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

sional musician Kook Lowry in a musical presentation, that included personal composi-tions by Dr. Angeles, Caribbe-an favorites, and familiar stan-dards that all could join in on.

The singalong takes place every Tuesday from 12:30-3:00 pm at the Saugus Senior Cen-ter, 466 Central Street, Saugus.  All are welcome to join in.

Major Changes to VA pension benefit regulations impact veterans

On September 18, 2018, the Veterans Adminis-

tration (VA) published new rules that make it more diffi-cult to qualify for VA Pension benefits that benefit senior and/or disabled veterans or their surviving spouses.

These benefits, including Aid and Attendance bene-fits, are available to eligible wartime Veterans or their surviving spouses who sat-isfy strict financial and med-ical requirements.The ben-efits 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 Vet-eran 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 require-ments to the new rules, but the above are the most im-pactful to any wartime Veter-an or surviving spouse wish-ing to pursue these bene-fits and receive a month-ly cash benefit to help with care costs.

The good news is that any-one wishing to qualify can still take advantage of the current rules, so long as they complete that planning be-fore 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 oppor-tunities will still exist after, it just may take longer to qual-ify for such benefits.

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

F o r m a n y y e a r s , MassHealth has treated as “countable income” a con-siderable portion of VA pen-sion benefits. This was deep-ly unfair to wartime veterans and their surviving spous-es because it stripped them of vitally needed income

to pay for medical necessi-ties and reduced the avail-ability of MassHealth bene-fits to them.I and my fellow Elder Law attorneys in the nearly 500-member Mas-sachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (MassNAE-LA) tried in vain for years to push MassHealth to stop this harmful practice, which we contend violates feder-al law.

MassNAELA also sought a legislative solution that achieved tremendous bipar-tisan support in the Com-monwealth.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 count-able income.

Th i s v i c to r y wa s h a rd fought and will help pro-tect our wartime veterans and their surviving spouses.

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

The Lynnfield High School field hockey team is cruis-

ing 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 Pen-tucket on Monday afternoon, 4-0.

Coach Mamie Reardon, be-ginning 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.

“We have an experienced team this year,” said Reardon. “Forward Ashley Barrett, cen-ter-midfielder Brianna Bar-rett and sweeper Abby Buck-ley are the senior captains of this year’s team, and the Bar-rett twins were a couple of last year’s leaders, as well.”

The Lynnfield girls defeated Danvers in a first-round Divi-sion 2 North state tournament game last fall, before losing to Manchester Essex in a North quarterfinal round game, 2-0.

Brianna Barrett ignited the

offense versus Pentucket ear-lier this week off of a corner from her sister, Ashley. Mad-die Murphy notched the sec-ond tally from Ashley Barrett. Lily Rothwell accounted for a goal, assisted by Ashley again, and then Ashley appropriately

closed out the offense in this game from her sister, Brianna.

For the record, Ashley had one goal and three assists ver-sus the Sachems to help pace the offensive attack. Brianna was credited with one each. The locals led at the half, 3-0.

Senior goalie Emily Dick-ey is back for another year, and against the Sachems she was able to come up with six saves to help the team record its fourth shutout of the year to date in just six games. They have also blanked Rockport

(5-0), Peabody (7-0) and North Reading (4-0).

The Lynnfield girls will be taking on host Georgetown on Friday night, Sept. 28, at 6:30 p.m. before returning home to host Masco on Tuesday at 3:45 p.m.

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

Lynnfield looks to get things turned around at Winthrop Friday night

By Joe Mitchell

Pat Lamusta is still looking for his first win as the Lyn-

nfield High School football coach after his team dropped its third straight game last Fri-day 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 along the line of scrimmage, and as a result the offense was

able to control the clock, while piling up the points.

Junior quarterback Cooper Marengi was able to complete 10 passes for 123 yards, and could have had another com-pletion, but a pass to John Lee deflected off his hands into the waiting arms of a Lynnfield de-fender. Lee caught four pass-es 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 Ames-bury fumble by stripping the ball from one of its running backs.

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

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

The Pioneers hope to get un-tracked against the also strug-gling 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 play-off spot against another club in the same division. They have three games in October against Manchester and Ips-wich at home, and Hamilton-Wenham 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.

Junior quarterback Cooper Marengi was able to complete 10 passes for 123 yards last Friday against Amesbury. (Advocate file photo)

With six saves, senior goalie Emily Dick-ey helped the Pioneers record a shutout against the Sachems, their fourth this year.

Senior captain center-midfielder Brianna Barrett contributed a goal and an assist to the Pioneers offensive effort against Sau-gus.

Senior captain forward Ashley Barrett scored a goal and contributed three as-sists against the Sachems.

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 Bak-er 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 Sen-ate when there are no vacan-cies. The governor needed the support of 14 senators to sustain a veto if all 40 sena-tors 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, includ-ing five that were overridden unanimously.

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

“I voted against overrid-ing vetoes in the budget that would have reinstituted ear-marks, which I have a long-standing policy of opposing,”

Chang-Diaz told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “While some ear-marks benefit wonderful or-ganizations, overall I believe earmarking hurts our ability to plan long-term fiscal poli-cy and undermines opportu-nities for fair, transparent, rig-orous 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. Vin-ny 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 (R-Leominster): 6 times (12.5 per-cent of the time).

PERCENTAGE OF TIMES LOCAL SENATORS SUPPORTED GOV. BAKER’S VETOES IN 2018

Here is how your senator fared in his or her support of Baker on the 48 vetoes.

The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the sena-

tor supported Baker. The num-ber 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.Sen. Brendan Crighton 0 percent (0)

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 Legis-lature’s job and that a lot of important work is done out-side of the House and Sen-ate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve commit-tee work, research, constitu-ent work and other matters that are important to their dis-tricts. Critics say that the Leg-islature does not meet reg-ularly or long enough to de-bate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infre-

quency and brief length of ses-sions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night ses-sions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days im-mediately preceding the end of an annual session

During the week of Sep-tember 17-21, the House met for a total of one hour and 11 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 17 minutes.

“Because of our dedication and efforts, we were chosen by our head librarian and Help Desk advisor Janice Alp-ert,” said Dickey. “We are all very excited and prepared to be the Lynnfield High School representatives this year.”

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

McKay and Orlando.“I am more thrilled than I

am nervous about attend-ing MassCUE,” said Dick-ey. “I am still learning many things when it comes to the world of technology, but un-der the leadership and guid-ance of our knowledgeable Help Desk staff, I feel more than prepared about attend-ing and sharing our accom-plishments and goals for the future.”

Dickey said that during the conference she and the oth-er three students will be pre-senting the “real world work” they do to facilitate the pro-cess of repairing Chrome-books. “Last year we docu-mented, through videos and pictures, our repair process,” she said. “We plan on us-ing these documentations to demonstrate how the students of Lynnfield High School are stepping up our

role in the repair process.”Dickey said she views Mass-

CUE as a tremendous learn-ing 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 knowl-edge so we can further ex-tend and improve our pro-gram here at Lynnfield High School.”

In addition, Dickey said at-

tending events like Mass-CUE only helps advance the knowledge of the Help Desk. “The Help Desk at Lynnfield High School is expanding and thriving, and that is be-cause 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.

on wetlands, we don’t bring in backhoes and try to build a public healing pool in the pro-tected areas. If we cannot do something because it is not al-lowed, we don’t do it. The past few years, since Boston Clear

Water bought Pocahontas Spring Water, I have become a whole lot smarter.

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 Wa-ter 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 Conser-vation 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-

courage the Zoning Board of Appeals to enforce the Bylaws that are supposed to apply to all of us. Will Lynnfield do the right thing for its residents? The meeting is on Tuesday, October 2nd at town hall.

Signed,Mary Bliss

Savvy SeniorFree Resources That Can Help with Your Medicare Decisions

Dear Savvy Senior,I’m considering making changes in my Medicare coverage dur-

ing the open-enrollment period. Can you recommend any free re-sources that can help with my choices?

Swapping SeniorDear 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 beneficia-ries can change their coverage without penalty. Doing so, giv-en that insurers are constantly tweaking their plans and offer-ings, 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.

Important ToolsTo 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) pol-icies 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 Medi-care Part D prescription-drug plan, it’s very important that you read and understand your “Annual Notice of Changes” and “Ev-idence of Coverage,” which should have arrived in the mail in September. These documents explain how your existing cov-erage 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 infor-mation – 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 cus-tomer-satisfaction ratings. Or, if you don’t have Internet ac-cess, or don’t feel confident in working through the informa-tion 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.

Free AdviceIf you want personalized help with a Medicare specialist, con-

tact the Medicare Rights Center or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program.

The Medicare Rights Center is a nonprofit group (Medicare-Interactive.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 ben-eficiaries, 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.

Agent AssistanceAnother way to get free assistance with your Medicare Ad-

vantage, 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 bar-ring 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.

RESOLUTION | FROM PAGE 11as a member of that board, there appears to be no good reason for the LCWD to revise its bylaws in the manner proposed by Chair-man Dalton.

On Chairman Dalton’s sugges-tion that a search committee for the Superintendent position be comprised of ratepayers and a member of the Board of Select-men, Attorney Casey comments as follows:

The Massachusetts Legisla-ture made a deliberate decision to create the LCWD as an inde-pendent body corporate, out-side the jurisdiction of the Lyn-nfield municipal government. The proposal to include a mem-ber of the Board of Selectmen on some kind of search commit-tee to recommend finalists for the Superintendent’s job — or any other position, for that mat-ter — is not provided for under any of the above-referenced stat-utory authority. Moreover, there is an open question as to wheth-er — 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 con-flict law prohibits a public official from acting as an agent for any-one other than the municipality for which he or she serves in con-nection 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 propos-al that the District “continue free household testing services un-til project is complete,” Attorney Casey responds as follows:

On its face, this proposal ap-pears to be relatively innocu-ous. However, it must be borne in mind that the responsibility of the LCWD for the provision of clean water to the residents is lim-ited to the public mains system; once the water enters a custom-er’s pipes, the responsibility de-volves upon the customer. See the [] LCWD Rules and Regula-tions… 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 instrumentali-ties that are within the customer’s exclusive custody and control… Thus, it cannot be automatically presumed that any contaminat-ed water that issues from a cus-tomer’s faucet must necessarily be the responsibility of the LCWD.

Chairman Dalton’s proposed resolution proffered further sug-gestions to the District, most of which have already been imple-mented by the District and other suggestions that are agreeable to the commissioners.

Ask the PlumberFrom 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 sys-tems changing over to propane in case something like this ever happens again.

My gas has been shut off sev-eral times over the years, lucki-ly 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 especial-ly my heat and hot water sys-tem still work on Propane or do I have to change everything? Also, I know I need to put a tank somewhere on my prop-erty, so what are the rules as far as where a tank can be locat-ed, 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 con-version kit will be needed, me-chanically this is not a big deal. Personally, I like using Propane for heat, hot water, the clothes dryer, and cooking. Some cus-tomers 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 sys-tems were up graded using Propane gas which is cleaner, much more efficient and my provider has been excellent.

In recent years, any custom-ers 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 via-ble options, electric or Propane (LP as it is called) for hot water and heat. Those affected are

currently being offered elec-tric hot plates and heaters for their homes. They should check with their local inspection ser-vice department to make sure their electrical system can han-dle 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 Plumb-ing Contractor. If you do decide to make the change, consider going with a “Tankless On-de-mand 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.

Barbara A. (Nichols) Frost

Originally from Lynnfield, Massachusetts, passed

away peacefully in her home September 8, 2018 after a brief illness. Barbara’s closest friend described her as “hard as a pud-dle.” She fought her illness like she approached life in general. With toughness, strength, dig-

nity and grace. Born Septem-ber 16th, 1939, she was just shy her 79th birthday. She was laid to rest in Lynnfield on Sep-tember 12th. Barbara, a fourth-Generation member of The Or-der of the Eastern Star, enjoyed her beloved Priscilla Chapter No. 52, Reading, MA and after retirement, moved to North Carolina where she continued to be involved in OES both lo-cally and in MA. She loved her “Star family” deeply. She was

known to be an avid reader and thoroughly enjoyed re-searching and discussing pol-itics. You could find her and her son in law Ken at the kitch-en table talking enthusiastical-ly about current events. Such joy to watch these two peas in a pod. Barbara is preceded in death by her husband, Al-bert Grunewald, Father Paul M. Nichols, Mother Genevieve B. Nichols, Brother Paul M. Nich-ols Jr. Barbara is survived by her loving daughter Steph-anie Bowman and Husband Kenneth Bowman of North Carolina, her son Donald Frost Jr, wife Cindy Frost and her three grandchildren whom she adored and loved uncondition-ally, Donald III, Paul and Sarah, all of Pennsylvania. The family would like to thank Communi-ty Home Care & Hospice, Wil-son, NC, particularly Rachael & Kristen, as well as Brentwood Homecare Agency’s Lori, and the beautiful CNA’s Jackie, Cas-sandra, Mary, Katie and Marie. We thank you for taking such kind care of our Mum. For on-line guestbook visit johnbdou-glassfuneralhome.com
