State Primary Election on 9/9

 

The primary election in Massachusetts will take place this Tuesday, September 9th.  The general election will take place on November 4th. Polls are open from 7am until 8pm. For complete information on voting, please visit the Elections Division website 

 

Residents will vote on four ballot questions on 11/4

 

Election Day is set for November 4th, 2014 and voters will see four questions on the ballot, according to Secretary of State William Galvin, the state's elections chief.  The questions will include the potential of the elimination of gas tax inflation indexing at the top, the proposed expansion of the bottle deposit law, the initiative aiming to repeal the 2011 casino law and an initiative looking to guarantee earned sick time for employees.

 

Lincoln Receives Massachusetts Cultural Council grants

 

Rep. Stanley announced that the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) has awarded grants to cultural organizations, schools and communities in Lincoln.  These grants support a wide variety of cultural activities and projects that benefit local residents, while supporting jobs in the nonprofit cultural sector. The announcement was made as part of MCC's statewide funding program, which benefits from a $1 million increase to its state appropriation approved by the Legislature and signed by the Governor in July.  The grants are part of MCC's $10.3 million statewide investment in the nonprofit cultural sector.

 

The Lincoln Cultural Council will receive $4,300 to support local arts and history, fund school fieldtrips, and sponsor local concerts and exhibitions.  The DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park will receive $38,700 to benefit its Cultural Investment Portfolio Program.  Funds will be used to educate as broad and diverse a public as possible about modern and contemporary American art by focusing primarily on the art of the New England region; and by educating through exhibitions, collections, classes, outreach programs, and a full schedule of activities designed to enhance the public's engagement with art and artists.

 

The Massachusetts Audubon Society will receive $55,500 to benefit its Cultural Investment Portfolio Program.  Funds will be used to capture the attention of the inquisitive mind, instill a respect for all life, and foster an intelligent understanding of the human position in the natural world.  The Massachusetts Audubon Society will also receive $11,000 to benefit its YouthReach Program.  Funds will be used to provide year-round out-of-school time opportunities for Lowell youth to work alongside mentors to conduct scientific investigations, participate in habitat stewardship projects, and develop leadership skills.

 

The MCC is a state agency supporting the arts, sciences, and humanities, to improve the quality of life in Massachusetts and its communities. It pursues its mission through a combination of grants, services, and advocacy for nonprofit cultural organizations, schools, communities, and artists. MCC's total budget for the current fiscal year is $12 million, which includes annual grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and other sources. For more information, please visit www.massculturalcouncil.org.

 

The Governor's Council approved four judicial candidates

 

The council unanimously approved Thomas Drechsler, a criminal and civil rights attorney, for a seat on the Superior Court. Drechsler will fill a seat vacated by the retirement of Judge Jane Haggerty. Drechsler is a partner at the Boston firm Byrne & Drechsler, where he has worked since 1985. The Council also unanimously approved David Dacyczyn to become a probate and family court judge in Franklin County.  Dacyczyn has served with the U.S. Navy in Afghanistan, and continues to serve as a captain in the Navy Reserves. Dacyczyn is the judicial case manager in the Hampshire Probate and Family Court, conducting pre-trial conferences and uncontested hearings.

 

Lynn Coffin Brendemuehl was unanimously approved for a seat on the Framingham District Court. Coffin Brendemuehl is currently an administrative judge at the Department of Industrial Accidents. Brendemuehl previously worked for Councilor Christopher Iannella's law firm Iannella & Mummolo for nearly a decade. Worcester family law attorney Geoffrey German was unanimously approved to become a judge in the Hampden County Probate and Family Court. German received his bachelor's degree from UMass-Amherst and his law degree from New England School of Law. He has 28 years of experience in family law.

State Seeks Turnpike Air Rights Developer near Hynes

 

The Commonwealth is soliciting bids on a project that would make the Hynes Convention Center station accessible to people with disabilities and refurbish a pedestrian tunnel that runs under Massachusetts Avenue.  The project, located at the corner of Mass. Avenue and Boylston Street, would reconnect the underground trolley station to Boylston Street.   The development opportunity would make use of air rights above the Massachusetts Turnpike before it goes under Boylston Street. The MBTA will fund all design and construction costs related to station improvements. 

 

Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line Improvement Project Update

 

Throughout the months of September through November 2014 the MBTA will be continuing construction of major improvements on the Fitchburg Line. This is the second year of a 3-year improvement project to improve track, signals, bridges, and stations to reduce trip time and increase service reliability.  To facilitate the efficient completion of this work, weekend service has been suspended on the line from July 12th through November 16th, 2014.  Click here for additional information.

 

Learn about West Nile Virus

 

WNV is usually transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. In 2013, there were eight human cases of WNV infection identified in Massachusetts. While WNV can infect people of all ages, people over the age of 50 are at higher risk for severe disease. Most people infected with WNV will have no symptoms. When present, WNV symptoms tend to include fever and flu-like illness. In rare cases, more severe illness can occur.

Exciting Veterans Resource

  

The Patrick Administration launched www.MassVetsAdvisor.org, a cutting-edge web portal that offers enhanced access to services and support for veterans living in the Commonwealth. The new site will help veterans and their family members access more than 200 state and federal benefits in one location, including programs for education, counseling, employment, health care and other services. MassVetsAdvisor streamlines comprehensive data from state and federal resources and lists only the benefits and services each veteran is qualified for, including an "action plan" to apply for the benefits. Veterans will be able to print, email, save or forward the action plan to their Veterans Services Officer for additional one-on-one assistance.

 

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Nutrition Program

 

WIC is a free nutrition program that provides healthy foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and other services to Massachusetts families who qualify.

To apply for WIC, call 1-800-WIC-1007 or contact a WIC Program in your community.  Please click here for more info.
 

SAVE Partners with Veterans' Services to Support Veterans & Their Families

 

The fundamental principle of the Statewide Advocacy for Veterans' Empowerment (SAVE) program is to advocate for veterans who are not able to obtain the benefits they have earned due to institutional or personal barriers. The program's primary mission is prevention of suicide and mental health distress through the identification of issues facing veterans when they return from service and proactively providing them with access to benefits and services that may address these issues and result in positive transitions back to civilian life. SAVE acts as a liaison between veterans and their families and the various agencies within the federal and state governments.  To learn more, please click here.

 

Mass 2-1-1, in Partnership with United Way, Partners with Department of Veterans Services

 

To learn more about the services available to veterans by MA 2-1-1 and the Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services, the chief advocate for veterans and their families in the Commonwealth, please click here.  2-1-1 is the national abbreviated dialing code for free access to health and human services Information and Referral. 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember and universally recognizable number that makes a critical connection between individuals and families seeking services or volunteer opportunities and the appropriate community-based organizations and government agencies. 2-1-1 makes it possible for people to navigate the complex and ever-growing maze of human service agencies and programs. By making services easier to access, 2-1-1 encourages prevention and fosters self-sufficiency. It also is hoped that it will reduce the number of non-emergency calls inappropriately made to 911.

Highland Glee Club announces open rehearsals for 106th season

Male singers who are interested in joining the chorus are encouraged to attend open rehearsals on September 8, 15, 22 and 29.

Scouts Offer Programs for Youth

 

The Scouting programs of Massachusetts offer many varied opportunities for youth.  Cub Scouting is a year-round, family-oriented part of the Boy Scouts of America program designed for boys who are in first through fifth grades (or are 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouting: character development, spiritual growth, good citizenship, sportsmanship and fitness, family understanding, respectful relationships, personal achievement, friendly service, fun and adventure, and preparation for boy scouts.

 

The Girl Scouts of America programs are also available for the same age range. In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.

 

If you're interested in either program, the best way for you to get information is through the "Be a Scout" tools online.  Just enter your address, and the information for the closest units will be displayed. For info on Boy Scouts, visit https://beascout.scouting.org/.  For info on Girl Scouts, visit

Volunteer Drivers Needed One Day per Month 

 
If you are retired, have a flexible work schedule, or have available time during the day, please consider becoming a volunteer one day a month for Lexington's F.I.S.H. (Friendly Independent Sympathetic Help), a community-service organization.  F.I.S.H. has been providing free rides to medical appointments for over 30 years for Lexington residents, but our 130 volunteer drivers and phone callers cannot meet the current client demand.  Drivers typically volunteer to drive for one day a month and can choose to provide round-trip rides to destinations either in Lexington and vicinity or in the greater-Boston area. "Phone F.I.S.H." volunteers make calls from their homes for a few hours on a given day to assign F.I.S.H. clients needing a ride to the volunteer drivers.  Being a F.I.S.H. driver or Phone F.I.S.H. is a very rewarding experience and we hope you will consider helping out your fellow Lexingtonians who have become very dependent on this unique service. For more information about volunteering for F.I.S.H., please call F.I.S.H. President David Horton at 781-862-3293.
