 Rep. Dykema and Rep. Gregoire Attend Technical
Rescue Training for District 14 Firefighters


Westborough, MA – The firefighters of Fire District 14, which includes the MetroWest communities of Hopkinton, Holliston, Marlborough, and Northborough, conducted a technical rescue training at a former Westborough State Hospital site on Monday, September 12th, that was attended by state and local officials, including State Representatives Carolyn Dykema (D-Holliston) and Danielle Gregoire (D-Marlborough), who represent communities in the district.

Rep. Dykema and Rep. Gregoire participated in a training designed to simulate a rescue from a collapsed building. This training session is one of a series of technical trainings designed to give firefighters experience and education in complex rescue situations. The regional approach, first debuted in 2008, utilizes shared resources and knowledge to ensure that firefighters are able to acquire the necessary skills given funding limitations. Rep. Walter Timilty also filed a bill, H. 3484, to create a coordinating council for technical rescues to spearhead the trainings through the Department of Fire Services, currently administered by the state Fire Chiefs’ Association.

GEORGE HEATH POSTHUMOUSLY RECEIVES MADELINE AMY SWEENEY AWARD FOR BRAVERY

BOSTON – Sunday, September 11, 2016 – On the fifteenth anniversary of terrorist attacks that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security presented the Madeline Amy Sweeney Award for Civilian Bravery to George Heath, who tragically and heroically gave his own life earlier this year to protect those around him from an attacker with a knife in the Silver City Galleria in Taunton.

“When faced with the horror of an armed attacker, George Heath did not hesitate for an instant to act decisively to defend the safety of those around him,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “George Heath showed the same type of character and resolve that defined the heroes of 9/11 and it is our privilege to honor his sacrifice on this solemn anniversary.”

George Heath was a visual arts teacher at the Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical School and a resident of Taunton. While dining with his wife Rosemary at Bertucci’s restaurant in Taunton on May 10, 2016, a man wielding a knife entered the restaurant and began to stab innocent patrons and employees. In an act of extraordinary bravery and with complete disregard for his own safety, George Heath confronted the attacker, putting himself in between the man and a pregnant woman. While the woman did sustain stabbing injuries, Mr. Heath gave his own life to save her and her unborn child from further harm.

George Heath was nominated for this award by State Representative Shaunna O’Connell and Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh.

About the Madeline Amy Sweeney Award:

For 14 years, Madeline Amy Sweeney (Photo) was an American Airlines flight attendant. She lived in Acton, Massachusetts with her husband, Michael Sweeney, and their two small children. On September 11, 2001, she was aboard American Airlines Flight 11, the first of two aircraft hijacked by terrorists and flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Before the plane hit the tower, Sweeney contacted the airline’s ground services crew to convey critical information about the hijackers and their actions on the plane that morning. It is for her heroism and the victims of September 11, 2001, that this award was created.

Upon arrival, first responders found a woman had been struck by a Ford Fusion sedan. The victim sustained serious injuries and was taken by medical helicopter to a Worcester hospital.

 

The victim is a 18-year-old Milford woman who was reportedly crossing the roadway outside of the crosswalk with her friend when the car, which was traveling eastbound on Pleasant Street, struck the woman.

KENNEDY CONTINUES PARITY PUSH

Members Plan to Push Kennedy Proposal as Mental Health Reform Moves Through Congress

 Washington, DC – September 9, 2016 - Congressman Joe Kennedy III today continued his efforts to strengthen insurance coverage for mental illness, as Democrats vowed to push Kennedy’s parity proposal when the House and Senate conference on mental health.

The renewed push came at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, held this morning in response to legislation offered by Congressman Kennedy to step up enforcement of existing parity regulations and increase transparency for consumers seeking insurance coverage for mental illness.

“Until or unless we make good on the promise of insurance parity, access to critical care will remain out of reach for millions of Americans struggling with mental illness. No matter how many resources we invest in the full continuum of care, failure to guarantee basic insurance coverage will put that care out of reach for the majority of patients in need. As Congress continues to seek compromise on meaningful mental health reform, any legislation that ignores parity enforcement will fall woefully short.”

Kennedy’s parity legislation, the Behavioral Health Coverage Transparency Act of 2015, is supported by the following organizations: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention/SPAN USA, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, American Society of Addiction Medicine, Bazelon, Community Catalyst, Eating Disorders Coalition, The Emily Program, Kennedy Forum, Legal Action Center, National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health, NAMI, National Association for Children's Behavioral Health, National Disability Rights Network, Massachusetts Medical Society, Parity Implementation Coalition.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

Since being elected, Congressman Kennedy has been a vocal advocate for systemic reform of the mental health system and needed investment in the full continuum of care. He has focused on enforcement of mental health parity laws, expanded access to substance abuse treatment, and an improved reimbursement system for providers. In addition to his parity legislation Kennedy has introduced a Medicaid Bump to enhance the federal match for new, state-based mental health spending and the Fair Care for Kids Act to remove barriers to mental health treatment for children in Medicaid.

Ashland Police Respond to Residence After Family Feared Man May Harm Himself

 ASHLAND — September 8, 2016 - Chief Craig Davis reports that the Ashland Police Department responded Thursday morning to a home after family members feared a man may attempt to harm himself.

 

Police and fire responded to a multifamily home on Pleasant Street after receiving a report that a 28-year-old male resident was in possession of a firearm and was threatening to harm himself.

 

Out of an abundance of caution, police surrounded the home and made contact with the resident. After several minutes, officers were able to convince the man to exit the home.

 

The resident was taken to an area hospital for a mental health evaluation. No charges are expected, and police did not find a firearm inside the residence.

 

“In situations like this, our primary concern is for the safety of all parties. We were given information that there may be a firearm involved, so officers surrounded and contained the home,” Chief Davis said. “Thankfully, we were able to convince this individual to come out peacefully.”

 

Chief Davis also wishes to thank local residents for their patience this morning during the police activity. No one was hurt. Press Release.

MassBay Community Colleges to Offer Assistance to Displaced ITT Technical Institute Students

WELLESLEY HILLS, MA (September 8, 2016) – In light of the sudden closing of all 137 ITT Technical Institute campuses, including two in Massachusetts, MassBay Community College is offering assistance and support to all affected students. These abrupt closures are dislodging more than 35,000 students from their programs nationwide, including hundreds here in the Commonwealth.

MassBay and the other 14 community colleges in the state are partnering with the U.S. Department of Education, the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, Massachusetts Community Colleges Executive Office, and the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office to assist these former ITT students.

“MassBay stands willing and ready to open our doors to former ITT Technical students to help them continue their education amid this unexpected closure,” said Dr. David Podell, president of MassBay Community College. “We are working to provide students with additional resources to help get them into classes and working toward the certificate or degree they need to advance their careers.”

“ITT’s closure has impacted hundreds of students in Massachusetts who are now trying to figure out what next steps to take,” Attorney General Maura Healey said. “We are pleased that community colleges like MassBay are stepping up to the plate by offering assistance, resources, and a location for displaced students to finish their degrees. Our office will remain focused on making sure that these students have the information they need to successfully move forward with their education.”

MassBay urges all displaced ITT students to contact the College’s Office of Admissions to be advised on your educational transition options. MassBay will also provide additional resources for displaced ITT students:
· Extended drop-in hours on the Wellesley Hills campus 8am – 7pm Monday – Thursday and 8am – 5pm Friday until September 23nd with dedicated staff to assist former ITT students
· Additional placement testing dates during the month of September
· Plans are underway to add courses beginning October 31st to support as many ITT Tech students as possible
· Application deadline has been extended for former ITT Tech students. Students who apply by September 30th could receive financial aid eligibility information before classes begin.

MassBay Community College offers day, evening and weekend classes for degree and certificate seeking students in the division of Business and Professional Development, Humanities, Health Sciences and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Students have the flexible option of attending class in-person, online or a combination of in-person and online to fit their schedules. Fall Start II classes begin Monday, September 19th and 8 Week 2 classes begin October 31st.

Displaced ITT Tech students looking to continue their education are encouraged to call or email the Office of Admissions at 781-239-2500 or admissions@massbay.edu .

Cruiser Struck on Rt. 93; Trooper Injured, Operator Arrested for OUI

 

September 6, 2016 - At 1:33 a.m. today a Massachusetts State Trooper, while at a crash scene on Route 93 southbound in Boston, south of the Mass. Ave. exit, was struck by another vehicle while in his cruiser.

 

The other vehicle, a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu, was traveling southbound and struck the rear of the stationary MSP cruiser, a fully marked Ford Explorer utility vehicle. The trooper suffered non life-threatening injuries and was conscious and alert when transported by Boston EMS to Tufts Medical Center.

 

The female operator of the vehicle that hit the cruiser, LILY G. REID, 21, of Quincy, was determined to be impaired and was placed under arrest for operating under the influence of alcohol and failure to move over for an emergency vehicle.

 

The injured trooper is assigned to Troop E, the troop that patrols the Boston tunnel system and the Massachusetts Turnpike.

 

The trooper was struck while he was on the scene of a two-vehicle crash at the same location. Neither driver in that prior crash was injured. The trooper was treated for injuries and released this morning.

All's Well That Ends Well

September 5, 2016 - A father and son were operating personal water crafts (see photo) when they became separated on Lake Whitehall after dark this evening shortly before 8:00 pm. The son hit shore without his father and became worried, but not for long; his mother phoned the police. Hopkinton Police and Fire Departments as well as the Environmental Police responded to locate the missing man, and the State Police ordered an Air Wing chopper into the air.

       The Fire Department located the individual, helped him to find the shore, and reunited him with his son. He refused medical treatment, clearing the first responders around a half hour later, and cancelling the chopper.

SCAM ALERT!

We have become aware of a telephone scam currently ongoing, similar to others we have seen in the past. The current scam works like this: A caller claims to an "officer" from the Internal Revenue Service or some other agency. The so-called "officer" says he or she is calling to inform the recipient that an arrest warrant "has been issued under your name." The scammer will then attempt to get personal or financial information from the call recipient or, if leaving a voicemail, may ask for a call back. The number left in the scam call we learned about was 424-293-7615, but it could be any number. Please note that this is a complete fraud. No law enforcement agency or any other agency or third-party would call someone to tell them that an arrest warrant has issued, and any administrative contact the IRS would have with a taxpayer would not be conducted in this manner. Anyone who gets any calls similar to these should not provide any personal information and end the call, or ignore any messages such as these. Please spread the word. Thank you.
