OUR Opinions SUPPORT SEN. MARKEY’S EFFORT TO BAN ROBOCALLS Forum Robocalls are the new plague of the digital and cell phone era. According to some estimates, Americans received 48 billion robocalls last year, up from 30 billion in 2017. It used to be that only a person’s land line would be subject to telemarketers, but these days our wireless phones also are being deluged on a daily basis with these annoying phone calls from robocall centers that typically operate from overseas. The latest nuance in the robocalling game is spoofing, where- by a robocall essentially hijacks a local phone number, tricking the receiver of the phone call into thinking that the call is coming from someone in one’s hometown. No one is immune from the scourge of pre-recorded robocalls trying to scam us out of our money. And the calls seem to never stop coming. The deluge of these robocalls have become the number one complaint of Americans who have a phone line -- which is to say, just about all of us. Robocalls have become an epidemic that must be stopped and to that end, U.S. Sen. Ed Markey has introduced a bill, known as the TRACED Act, that will give authorities and the telecom companies the ability to find, catch, and prosecute scammers. The TRACED Act gives the FCC the authority to levy civil penalties against scammers, extends the window from one to three years to take action against intentional violators, and re- quires telephone providers to adopt call authentication technol- ogies to verify that incoming calls are legitimate. This bill already has overwhelming bipartisan support -- one of the few things that Republicans and Democrats can agree upon these days -- and recently passed a Senate committee by a 26-0 margin. Each of us can show our solidarity behind ending the scourge of robocalls by calling Sen. Markey’s office to become a citizen co-sponsor of the TRACED Act.

BIKE WINTHROP KICKS OFF SEASON PEDAL POWER

Photos by Kate Anslinger

The chill in the air didn’t stop bike lovers from gathering at Ingleside Park for the Spring Bike Kickoff last Saturday, April 27, hosted by Bike Winthrop, the Winthrop Police Department and MassBike. It was also made possible through the generous support of the Rebekah Lodge. The event provided entertainment and education for all ages and included free tune-ups, safety instruction, free helmets, hotdogs, and ice cream, and a bike rodeo for those new to riding. “Bike Winthrop was thrilled to see so many people of all ages come out, even on a blustery chilly day, to celebrate the start of spring and have some fun in the name of biking,” said Julia Wallerce, Bike Winthrop co-founder. “We wanted to make this event not just a chance to get out and ride around town but also to get your bike fixed, try out a Lime-E assist bike, and learn about what we’re doing to make biking in and around Winthrop safer and more convenient. We’re grateful for our partnership with the Winthrop Police and all the organizations and individuals who joined us in making the event such a success.” On a mission to enhance transportation for all residents, Bike Winthrop is working on a proposal with the Transportation Ad- visory Committee to create a network of bike routes in Win- throp and to expand the East Boston Greenway from Constitu- tion Beach to Winthrop.
