GOOD NEWS FOR ROUND HILL RESIDENTS
The long-awaited Sagamore Bridge replacement project is moving forward, and the concerns of the Round Hill neighbors are an important part of that process.

This historic project will bring two new bridges, one in each direction, the removal of the existing bridge, and new interchanges on both sides — all right here in our great Fightin 5th District.

It was wonderful to visit with some of the Round Hill neighbors and hear their concerns. I’m pleased to report that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation has started a regular mowing schedule, is working with Bourne Police on patrols, and has boarded up the homes and posted No Trespassing signs to help protect the neighbors who remain.

MassDOT is also planning a neighborhood meeting to discuss the construction phase and has committed to regular communication with the Round Hill residents throughout the project.

A special thank you to my friend Luisa Paiewonsky, who is leading this project for MassDOT, for listening and working with us. I look forward to continuing to work together with Luisa, MassDOT, the Town of Bourne, and the Round Hill neighbors.

This long-awaited project is moving forward, and we’ll continue working together to make sure our residents are heard and taken care of every step of the way.

GOOD MORNING.
Today is INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY.

Today, we remember all those we have lost to this horrible disease, and we pray for strength for those fighting every day to overcome addiction.

We also thank the men and women of law enforcement, our military, first responders, and all the agencies and organizations working every day — locally, across our nation, and around the world — to save lives, prevent addiction, and end the stigma.

There are two wonderful events on Cape Cod tonight that I’m aware of. One begins at 5:30 PM at Smuggler’s Beach in South Yarmouth, and another begins at 6:00 PM in Falmouth at the Village Green.

Both are dedicated to bringing awareness, supporting those in recovery, and remembering those we have lost.

GOD BLESS.
WE REMEMBER.

WE REMEMBER
Throughout the month of August, in recognition of Overdose Awareness Month, I have been sharing the stories of members of our Cape Cod community who were lost to Substance Use Disorder and overdose.

Each post is shared with the permission and support of the individual’s family. These are not simply stories about addiction—they are stories about people. They were daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, friends, and loved ones. Their lives mattered, they were loved, and they are deeply missed.

As a former police officer, a current member of the Massachusetts Legislature, and the Ranking House Minority Member of the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery, I have seen firsthand the heartbreaking impact Substance Use Disorder has on individuals, families, and communities.

During August, we remember these loved ones—not because of how they died, but because of how they lived.

Erica Sue Long
May 17, 1989 - July 11, 2017
Sandwich, MA

Erica was incredible. She was loving, giving, so intelligent, hilarious, and the biggest cat lover. She was the baby of us 3 girls and our family hasn’t been complete since we lost her.

Christopher James Foley
Age 37 • South Dennis, MA
October 14, 2022

Chris lost his battle with addiction, but addiction did not define him. He was incredibly smart, curious, and talented, with a love for technology, gardening, the Red Sox, Patriots, and his beloved cat, Whomper.
Chris will always be remembered for his great sense of humor, brilliant mind, and charming smile.
Forever loved and deeply missed.

Samantha M. Teed
March 16, 1993 – February 3, 2021
Forever 27

Samantha was a loving mother of two with a beautiful gift for making everyone feel like her best friend. She was kind, loyal, always showed up for those she loved, and had a crazy laugh no one could forget.
Today, we remember Sam for her love, her laughter, and the beautiful person she was.
Forever loved. Forever missed.

Nicole Cabral
March 13, 1988 – June 12, 2019
Falmouth, MA

Nicole was full of life, with an infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes. She loved music, her green Mustang, and raising and training dogs. Most of all, she loved her beautiful daughter beyond measure.
Nicole is forever loved and missed and is reunited with the love of her life, DJ Andrews.

May God Bless, Comfort, and Strengthen these Families.

REST IN PEACE, Erica, Christopher , Samantha, and Nicole

THANK YOU, WEST BARNSTABLE DEER CLUB!
What a great day at the West Barnstable Deer Club! It was great to see so many friends, families, and generations of Cape Codders all enjoying themselves together.

A huge shoutout to every volunteer who worked so hard to make today happen. This was an old-fashioned Cape Cod clambake the way it’s supposed to be — seaweed from the Cape Cod Canal, lobsters, steamers, sausage, potatoes, and plenty of great people.

Everything was fantastic, and even better, it was all for a great cause.

Thank you, West Barnstable Deer Club, for keeping this wonderful tradition going strong.

GOOD MORNING & HAPPY CAPE COD SUNDAY!
Another beautiful Cape Cod day ahead, and I can’t wait for today’s 72nd Annual West Barnstable Deer Club Clambake!

This is an old-fashioned, REAL clambake — great food, great people, and a Cape Cod tradition that has been going strong for 72 years.

I’ve been asked to lead everyone in our Pledge of Allegiance and then introduce Nashville recording artist and Sandwich’s own FIGHTIN’ 5TH, Carly Tefft, who will sing our National Anthem.

What a great day ahead at the famous Deer Club in West Barnstable — going back in time and celebrating a tradition that continues to bring people together.

There are still a VERY FEW tickets available if you’re interested.

Otherwise, I’ll see you this afternoon!

GOD BLESS

WE REMEMBER
Amber and Veronica

Throughout the month of August, in recognition of Overdose Awareness Month, I have been sharing the stories of members of our Cape Cod community who were lost to Substance Use Disorder and overdose.

Each post is shared with the permission and support of the individual’s family. These are not simply stories about addiction—they are stories about people. They were daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, friends, and loved ones. Their lives mattered, they were loved, and they are deeply missed.

As a former police officer, a current member of the Massachusetts Legislature, and the Ranking House Minority Member of the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery, I have seen firsthand the heartbreaking impact Substance Use Disorder has on individuals, families, and communities.

During August, we remember these loved ones—not because of how they died, but because of how they lived.

AMBER SYLVESTER
September 24, 1979 – April 26, 2022
Age 42 | Falmouth, MA

Amber was a beautiful, smart, and thoughtful young woman who loved helping others. She often volunteered at shelters and charity events.

A 1996 graduate of Falmouth High School, Amber followed her love of music to work in the industry in Los Angeles and Nashville.

After being prescribed opioids following surgery, Amber struggled with depression, mental health challenges, and addiction. Tragically, she lost her life to fentanyl.

Amber was not just another “statistic.” She was a beloved daughter, mother, sister, aunt, and friend whose life mattered and whose memory lives on.

VERONICA REEVES
October 27, 1981 – May 10, 2022
Age 40 | Brewster, MA

A graduate of Falmouth High School, Veronica continued to live and work here on Cape Cod.

She was an avid reader and writer with a special love for science fiction and fantasy. If you put a book in front of Veronica, she was going to read it, no matter the genre.

Veronica was smart, funny, hardworking, and someone who felt everything deeply. Her family remembers her for her spot-on TV and movie character impressions that could have everyone laughing until they cried.

Above all else, Veronica loved her children fiercely and completely.

Veronica was not just another “statistic.” She was a daughter, a mother, a sister, a friend, and a loved one whose life mattered and whose memory lives on.

May God Bless, Comfort, and Strengthen the Sylvester and Reeves Families.

REST IN PEACE, AMBER AND VERONICA.

REMEMBERING ANN KNELL
I am heartbroken to hear about the passing of my longtime friend and colleague, Ann Poskitt Knell.

When I became the first-ever School Resource Officer at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, Ann and her family welcomed me with open arms. I was a police officer coming into a school in a new role, and Ann was one of the people who helped make me feel like I belonged.

Ann was one of the smartest and kindest human beings I have ever known. She cared deeply about young people and believed in giving every student a chance.

Ann didn’t just help educate the students I served at D-Y — she helped educate all four of my children, who are all proud graduates of Dennis-Yarmouth High School. That makes her impact on my family especially meaningful to me.

For nearly 50 years, Ann dedicated her life to D-Y and to our community. She was an incredible educator, leader, mentor and friend. But beyond all of that, she was simply a great person who cared about people.

I will always remember her kindness, her intelligence, her warmth and the way she made people feel welcome.

My deepest condolences to Ken, her children, grandchildren, great-grandson, extended family and all of the many people whose lives she touched.

Thank you, Ann, for welcoming me all those years ago, for believing in our young people, and for being such an important part of my family’s life.

REST IN PEACE, ANN.

You will be missed, my friend, and you will never be forgotten.

Remembering Cape Cod Fallen Heroes

I’m here this morning with Jean Hooper and her husband, seeing these amazing figures and the incredible tribute they created to honor my son Nick and so many other Cape Cod fallen heroes.

I’m honored to bring the Nick items home to my office in The People’s House in Boston — where our American freedom was born.

The other items are seeking a home where these heroes will always be remembered.

THANK YOU, JEAN, for your incredible thoughtfulness, your kindness, and for keeping the memory of Nick and our fallen heroes alive.

NICK AND ALL OUR FALLEN HEROES — YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
