Therefore, Pressley said, she will continue to push for funding to support community art. “I love that this was a grassroots eff ort; art belongs everywhere; we’ve got your back,” she said. Mayor Carlo DeMaria also shared his thoughts about the Art Walk. “I am proud to support the Everett Cultural Council for funding the Everett Community Art Walk along with other outstanding projects,” he said. “I also want to thank our legislative delegation for providing the annual appropriation to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which allows them to fund many art and cultural projects in our community.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 Page 3 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ Sincere Thanks Dear Editor, I sincerely want to thank the voters of Everett who came out to support me in September’s Primary Election. It is clear that you recognize the job is done throughout the twoyear term and not just a summer of campaigning. A Council is a team effort and no one individual can hold sway over the team. For the past several years, I have been involved in working to improve our educational system for all of our children. As a parent of three special education children who are now fully functional adults with good paying jobs, it is an important investment to our community to ensure success both academically and occupationally. I have also worked very close with economic development in our City which has brought thousands of jobs to Everett, raising the standard of living for many of our low-income residents. It takes a considerable amount of time to implement these changes while addressing much needed capital improvements on an aged infrastructure such as streets and city buildings. The past two years we have been told that economically it would be tough to address financial concerns while growing the City. This fall we will be setting the new tax rate with much awaited revenue finalLETTER | SEE PAGE 20

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 Page 5 City moving ahead with LED streetlight conversion M ayor Carlo DeMaria recently announced that the City of Everett has replaced approximately 2,000 High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights with energy-effi cient Light Emitting Diodes (LED). The replacement includes standard streetlights as well as a small number of decorative fl oodlights. “Forty percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States come from electricity production,” said DeMaria. “That is why it is critical that we reduce our energy consumption as much as possible. This is not only smart for the environment; it is smart for the taxpayer as well.” The City of Everett has been working with Tanko Lighting to complete the citywide conversion. DeMaria has made it a goal of his administration to reduce both citywide energy consumption and maintenance costs associated with streetlights. LED streetlights are proven to be more effi cient than HPS fi xtures, have an expected lifespan of over 20 years and produce a higher quality of light than HPS streetlights. The higher quality of light allows the human eye to see more details and colors. LED streetlight fixtures also have greater control over light distribution. LEDs can produce a lighting pattern that emits light more evenly across the street, improving visibility while decreasing light trespass into resHonoring Ersilia’s Memory idences and light pollution.

It distresses me that a person elected to represent the people within his district could behave in such a horrendous manner. When I called City hall I asked for the number that I could reach Mr. Lattanzi because I wanted to inform him that Michael McLaughlin had come by the evening before and was outraged because he seen the two signs for Alfred Lattanzi he had posted in the yard with our permission, one was located at the corner of 42 Alfred and 50 Montrose. We were sitting on the porch and Michael McLaughlin pulled up in a white pickup truck with the letters GTA on the side. He came at us yelling who gave authorization to put those signs there, I replied we did, he really raised his voice and yelled "Jerry and Lattanzi" are the biggest criminals in City Hall. They are trying to steal my job. We sat there in disbelief and intimidated. He went to his truck and cut down the two signs he then tossed them in the side yard at the corner for 42 Alfred and 50 Montrose and said somebody will come with a trash truck and pick them up.

Colby-Sawyer welcomes Everett students N EW LONDON, N.H. – Colby-Sawyer College recently welcomed Erinn Puleio and Phu Ngo, both of Everett, to its campus in central New Hampshire. Puleio is majoring in biology and Ngo is undecided. Founded in 1837 in the heart of the scenic Lake Sunapee Region of central New Hampshire, Colby-Sawyer is a comprehensive college with an emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences, a focus on professional preparation and a commitment to individualized experiences. Students choose from a variety of innovative majors in the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Social Sciences and the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Daud Alzayer, the writer and director of this show, said of the project, “One of the central goals of my creative work is give everyone, including adults, an opportunity to play make-believe. We spend a lot of time and money on passive entertainment like movies, but experiences like these give you a chance to be in the middle of the action and even to play a leading role if you choose. That is something we get to enjoy as kids, but projects like this give us a chance to recapture that magic as adults.” Bone Up Brewing is located at 38 Norman St., and the show will take place on Friday, October 11, at 7 p.m. Tickets are currently on sale. For further information and tickets, see Curious Experience Design’s website at www.curiousxp. com or fi nd them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/curiousxp.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 Page 19 Tide, Clerveaux, defense, KO’s Boxers: Medford next at home By Greg Phipps T he two most successful high school football programs in Massachusetts squared off last Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium, and it was the Everett Crimson Tide that emerged with a 3621 victory over the Brockton Boxers. The final score, however, was not indicative of how close the contest was. Brockton forged in front three times and had the lead at one point in the third quarter. But Everett exploded for three touchdowns in a little over a 10-minute span and pulled away for the win. The triumph was the third in a row for the Tide after they suffered a 28-point defeat in their season opener. For the second straight week, Tide running back Jaden Clerveaux had a big day on the ground, rushing for 180 yards on just 15 attempts. He scored two first-half TDs on an 80-yard romp that tied the contest early and an 11-yarder that completed an 11-play, 79-yard drive. That second score and subsequent two-point conversion gave Everett a 15-14 halfEHS Sophomore superstar Jaden Clerveaux rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns in the Tide’s huge victory over the Brockton Boxers on Saturday, Sept. 27 at Everett Stadium. (Advocate Photos by Mike Kearney) The Tide Defense was fabulous, holding The Boxers under 100 yards in the second half while forcing three turnovers. time edge. Brockton retook the lead, 21-15, when the opening kickoff of the second half was returned over 90 yards for a touchdown. Everett’s Brandon Gibbs picked off a pass in the end zone to thwart a Brockton scoring chance later in the quarter. That play eventually led to Tyrese Baptiste scoring and giving the Tide a 22-21 lead with just under four minutes to go in the third quarter. After the game, Everett head coach Theluxon Pierre was emphatic that the two legendary powerhouses should meet every season. “It’s awesome … When you’ve got Everett [and] Brockton,” he told the press when it was over, “we should play every year. I don’t care where it is. It’s the winningest programs in the state and [we] should play every year.” After their kickoff return Junior wide receiver Tyrese Baptiste is shown scoring one of his two TD’s as senior Junior Pamphile and sophomore Christian Machado double-team a Boxer defender.

On the other side, the Crimson Tide appear to have righted their ship and sit at 3-1 entering this Friday night’s home game against Medford, which has yet to win a game this season. After four stiff tests to begin the campaign, the Tide seem to be getting a reprieve of sorts over the next two weeks, when they take on two struggling programs. Winless Malden is on the docket for an Oct. 11 tilt.
Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 LETTER | FROM PAGE 3 Everett girls’ soccer seeking second win By Greg Phipps H aving opened the season with a victory at O’Bryant, the Everett High School girls’ soccer team has run into some tough times. The Crimson Tide have managed a couple of ties since the opening day win. But, entering this week, they were still seeking victory number two. A 1-1 deadlock against Malden back on Sept. 23 was Everett’s most recent chance at a win. In that contest, Ashley Tejada scored the Everett goal off an assist from Carolann Cardinale halfway through the fi rst half. The Tide couldn’t make the one-goal lead stand up, as Malden scored to tie it in the second session. Everett head coach DeAnn Gallagher told the press after the game that she and her team felt they had a great shot to win the contest. “We just needed to continue to play hard, communicate with one another and pass the ball the way we do in practice.” During the season, Gallagher has reiterated that her squad has competed well and has produced numerous scoring opportunities, they just haven’t cashed in. At the same time, the team has struggled defensively, as marked by last Wednesday’s 8-0 loss at Somerville and a defeat against Revere last Friday. The Tide opened this week with a game at home against Gloucester and at home against O’Bryant on Thursday. ly on the table.

Page 24 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 Income in respect of a decedent By Joseph D. Cataldo I ncome in respect of a decedent (IRD) is income that was owed to a decedent at the time he or she died. This is found in Internal Revenue Code Section 691. Some examples of IRD would include retirement plan assets, IRA’s and IRA distributions, unpaid interest income, unpaid dividend income, salary or wages and sales commissions, lottery winnings, accounts receivable for cash basis self-employed individuals, etc. These items of IRD, along with other assets included in one’s estate, are ultimately distributed to the beneficiaries of the estate. While the beneficiaries receive most of the assets of the estate “income-tax free”, IRD assets are generally taxed at the beneficiaries’ ordinary income tax rates. However, if a decedent’s estate has already paid an estate tax on the IRD assets, a beneficiary may be eligible to take an IRD deduction based upon the amount of the estate tax paid attributable to that item of IRD. IRC Section 691(c). The IRD deduction is taken as an itemized deduction. It is a miscellaneous itemized deduction “not’ subject to the usual “two percent of adjusted gross income” floor. Many financial advisors and estate attorneys are focused on the federal or Massachusetts estate tax return and the transfer of assets to the beneficiaries of the estate, and often overlook the potential of the beneficiaries to take the IRD deduction on his or her individual income tax return. You would simply take the IRD asset that is includible on the estate tax return and divide that number by the total gross estate as shown on the estate tax return. The resulting percentage is then multiplied by the total estate tax paid. That amount is then claimed as an itemized deduction on your federal individual income tax return. You must claim the IRD deduction in the year you actually receive and report the taxable income generated from the IRD asset on your individual income tax return. Another way to figure out the IRD deduction is to figure out the estate tax with and without the IRD asset(s). The difference in the actual estate tax figures will be the IRD deduction amount to take. Beneficiaries will share in the IRD deduction proportionately. Accordingly, if there are only two 50% beneficiaries of the estate and both are receiving 50 percent of the IRD asset as well, each would be entitled to take 50 percent of the IRD deduction on his or her own tax return as an itemized deduction. It is important to look at the IRD deduction whenever an estate tax is actually paid and there are IRD assets includible on the estate tax return as part of the total estate tax calculation. Many times, this valuable deduction is simply overlooked. It is also wise to consider leaving IRD assets to qualified charities if you have a desire to benefit a charity. Why? If you left the IRD asset to an individual, that individual will have to pay taxes on that IRD at ordinary income tax rates. The Charity would pay $0 in taxes. Therefore, you would be better off bequeathing a savings account to a niece or nephew and the balance of your IRA to the charity. The savings account results in no income tax to your nephew and the IRA going to the charity avoids income taxes altogether. If there are percentages of one’s estate going to individuals and charities, it makes sense for the Personal Representative of the estate to cherry pick what assets will go to the individuals and what assets will go to the charity.

Page 26 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 avyavy ioienioroavvy Senior avvyy vy ennioorn rniiori Cremation: An Affordable Way to Go Dear Savvy Senior, How much does cremation cost and how can I fi nd a good deal in my area? I would like to get a simple, basic cremation that doesn’t cost me, or my family, a lot of money. Frugal Senior Dear Frugal, Cremation costs can vary widely. Depending on your location, the provider and the services you request, cremation can range anywhere from $500 to $7,500 or more. But that’s a lot cheaper than a full-service funeral and cemetery burial that averages nearly $11,000 today. Here are some tips to help you get a good deal. Shop Around Because prices can vary sharply by provider, the best way to get a good price on a simple “no frills” cremation is to call several funeral homes in your area (most funeral homes provide cremation services) and compare prices. When you call, ask them specifi cally how much they charge for a “direct cremation,” which is the basic option and the least expensive. With direct cremation, there’s no embalming, formal viewing or funeral. It only includes the essentials: picking up the body, completing the required paperwork, the cremation itself and providing ashes to the family. If your family wants to have a memorial service, they can have it at home or your place of worship after the cremation, in the presence of your remains. If you want additional services beyond what a direct cremation off ers, ask the funeral home for an itemized price list that covers the other service costs, so you know exactly what you’re getting. All providers are required by law to provide this. To locate nearby funeral homes, look in your local yellow pages, or Google “cremation” or “funeral” followed by your city and state. You can also get good information online at Parting.com, which lets you compare prices from funeral providers in your area based on what you want. Or, if you need more help contact your nearby funeral consumer alliance program (see Funerals.org/local-fca or call 802865-8300 for contact information). These are volunteer groups located in most regions around the country that off er a wide range of information and prices on local funeral and cremation providers. Pricey Urns The urn is an item you need to be aware of that can drive up cremation costs. Funeral home urns usually cost around $100 to $300, but you aren’t required to get one. Most funeral homes initially place ashes in a plastic bag that is inserted into a thick cardboard box. The box is all you need if you intend to have your ashes scattered. But if you want something to display, you can probably fi nd a nice urn or comparable container online. Walmart.com and Amazon.com for example, sells urns for under $50. Or, you may want to use an old cookie jar or container you have around the house instead of a traditional urn. Free Cremation Another option you may want to consider that provides free cremation is to donate your body to a university medical facility. After using your body for research, they will cremate your remains for free (some programs may charge a small fee to transport your body to their facility), and either bury or scatter your ashes in a local cemetery or return them to your family, usually within a year or two. To fi nd a medical school near you that accepts body donations, the University of Florida maintains a directory at Anatbd. acb.med.ufl .edu/usprograms.

Regarding security, there was no discussion regarding the fatal shooting that occurred at Karma on September 21 as it is still an open investigation. However, Arloro mentioned the incident that took place in March when a police officer was choked. “It’s bringing in the wrong people; it’s getting hostile,” he said. “We’ve had two dangerous things that have happened there.” Therefore, the board voted to change the closing time to midnight, to discontinue bottle service and have all quarterly tobacco sales submitted on a quarterly basis. In order for Karma to keep its tobacco license, at least 51 percent of its revenue must come from tobacco sales. Antonelli said the matter will be revisited during the board’s December 2 meeting. Noise complaints continue at Tres Gatos In other news, in response to ongoing noise complaints, the board voted to have Tres Gatos Restaurant & Bar change its closing time to 11 p.m. on Sunday and to midnight Monday through Saturday. The outdoor patio will also be closed. Chef Ozzie of Tres Gatos was called before the board on July 8 and April 22 because of noise complaints. McLaughlin said that according to neighboring residents, Sunday nights are particularly problematic with patrons often congregating on Francis and Malden Streets. Antonelli also called attention to a motor vehicle accident that occurred at 2 a.m. on August 12. He said the driver, who was charged with operating under the influence, said he had “five or six” beers at Tres Gatos. Arloro said any bar owner is held responsible should something happen when an intoxicated customer gets behind the wheel, regardless of when the incident happens. “It doesn’t matter if it’s 20 minutes or two hours,” he said. “This situation could’ve been deadly.” REAL ESTATE TRANSAC TIONS Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
