The United States Senate's Special Committee on Aging, currently chaired by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), was established in 1961 as a temporary committee. It was granted permanent status in February, 1977. While special committees have no legislative authority, they can study issues, conduct oversight of programs, and investigate reports of fraud and waste. Note: Senior victims of fraud can report it to the Fraud Hotline.
The Special Committee on Aging has served as a focal point in the Senate for discussion and debate on matters relating to older Americans, and often submits its findings and recommendations for legislation to the Senate. The Committee additionally publishes materials of assistance to those interested in public policies which relate to the elderly.
For more information, visit the Committee's press releases page. It is a gold mine of legislative issue and hearing information, and resource links, plus: you can sign up for e-News; order publications; view the latest list of issues and press releases; get prescription assistance ... and more!

Berwick - Christopher E. Utt, age 26, of Berwick, ME, died March 19 at Anna Jacques Hospital in Newburyport from complications of a traumatic brain injury.

Influenced by his Grandfather Jim Utt, whom he adored and who passed away in 2019, he took up golf and enjoyed great success on the links, continuously working to improve his skills. Chris also loved the affection and funny antics of his animal rescues, Boots, Angel, Bama and Tiger. Chris endured struggles with anxiety, ADHD and depression throughout his life. He worked continuously to be healthy and manage this disease, finding that traditional prescribed medications sometimes caused more harm than good.

Following this passion, he established his business, Hummingbird Family Farm, in 2020 and worked hard to grow completely organic high quality craft medical cannabis. Chris became an award-winning Cultivator with extensive knowledge of the healing benefits of different strains and cannabinoids for treating his patients with chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, cancer, and more.

Newburyport - Elaine Marie Dyer, longtime resident of Newburyport, died peacefully surrounded by her family on March 23, 2024. She was a woman loved by all who knew her. With an infectious smile, her beauty and laughter radiated to all in her presence. Born in Worcester, MA, January 20, 1938, she was the youngest of nine children of Italian immigrants, the late Nicolo and Theresa (Campanile) Miglionico. During her life she had many roles: a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother, but her most favorite was being affectionately known as "The Ninster" to her grandchildren (and proudly displayed on her baby blue Cadillac). Elaine's love for them was endless. If she wasn't sewing beautiful clothes or making a Halloween costume that could win any contest—many times taking home a ribbon—then she was pulling them in a wagon for walks and exploring outside. Elaine adored babies, and you could never walk down a street without her stopping at every baby carriage to say hello. As a mom she was always at her childrens' schools, whether dressing up in costume for the kids, running the PTO, or heading the Jingle Bell Fair. She was always involved, and she always sang how much she loved them a bushel and a peck. Elaine was an adventurous woman who said yes to anything from skiing the slopes of New England to driving a motorcycle, all while saving time to make her glamorous Cher lookalike outfits for the Saturday night Knights of Columbus dances. It is those years and those memories that we cherish. Her overwhelming struggle with Lewy Body Dementia robbed her later years with confusion and frustration. The family watched as we lost our mother day by day. She will now get to rejoice with peace and be with her loved ones who passed on before her. Our mom will forever be in our hearts, and we will keep her memory alive everyday. Our love for her is never ending. "Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity." Treasured memories will forever be cherished by her four daughters, Natalie Moore, Marie-elena Gray, Angela Wadleigh and Lisa-Jo Brightman, along with her twelve adoring grandchildren who were her pride and joy; extended family and dear friends. In addition to her parents and her eight siblings, she was also predeceased by her only son, Thomas N. Pecorelli, who was a victim of one of the 9-11 plane crashes, and her grandson, Cory Brightman. A period of visitation will be held Monday, March 25, 2024 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at Elliott, Woodworth & Rogers Family Funeral Home, 35 Green Street, Newburyport, immediately followed by a Service at the funeral home with burial at Oak Hill Cemetery, where Elaine will be placed to eternal rest beside her beloved son, Thomas.

Amesbury - Philip R. Dandurant, 67 of Amesbury passed away Friday March 15 at Lahey Hospital in Burlington surrounded by his family. He lived in Amesbury all his life and attended Sacred Heart School, Whittier Tech where learned a trade in Diesel Mechanics and later Northern Essex College where he earned an associate degree. Back in 1979 Phil had suffered a swimming accident which left him paralyzed from the chest down. Having been faced with this disability did not stop him. He lived at the Towers on Main Street for many years and was very active in that community. On most Friday nights you could find Phil in the function room calling out bingo for the residents and he was also involved in many other events. He was currently serving on the Amesbury Housing Authority Board and he had also worked extensively with other people with disabilities, served as an access monitor for the state. In the winter when he couldn't get outside, he also took up the hobby of building dollhouses and mini-Gazebos. His past couple of houses he donated to a local store in Amesbury which were raffled off in the name of an employee that had passed from a rare disease. Phil loved his family and had many friends. He was a kindhearted, courageous, selfless, quiet man. You would see him pushing around town and there was a time where he pushed 10 miles a day but as he got older, he was unable to do that. If you drove by the Towers on a nice day, there was Phil sitting out front waving if he knew you or people would stop and chat with him which meant a lot to him. He faced many obstacles in his life but always dealt with them in a positive way. Over the years Phil had many Personal Care Givers which the family would like to extend their gratitude which helped him get his day started. Most recently Ashley and his sister Teresa which we are so grateful for. Also, would like to thank the Amesbury Fire Dept who had helped Phil out a few times. This is something Phil had written when the Newburyport News had interviewed him about his dollhouse making which we would like to share. "Be grateful for what you have, if you are going to feel angry all your life, you won't get far. You've got to turn around and accept it. If you don't accept it, you're in trouble." Philip leaves his siblings, Michael from Arizona, Mark from Amesbury, Tim from Kingston N.H. his sisters Pauline Daniels and husband Todd from Seabrook, Teresa Dandurant and fiancé Larry from Amesbury and Donna Tessimond from Hampton, N.H. and his dear Cousin Cathy from Florida. Also, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Predeceased by his parents Paul and Aline Dandurant and his brother Dean. There will be no calling hours.
