Page 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 2022 Mayor outlines next four years H By Mayor Carlo DeMaria appy New Year to all my fellow Everett residents. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost two years later and we continue to have to change our celebrations due to COVID. I’m sorry that we didn’t have a chance to celebrate this occasion together as a community, but I hope that we will have that chance in the near future. I would like to thank State Senator Sal DiDomenico and State Representative Joe McGonagle for joining our inaugural celebration. Thank you to our clergy who asked that those of us who are being sworn-in have the grace and the guidance to lead our community with strength, wisdom and compassion. Thank you to my fellow elected offi cials for your willingness to embark upon this next chapter of service to our City and for your commitment to doing what is in the best interest of all our residents. And most importantly, thank credible opportunity. When I think of how fortuyou to all of our residents for the faith and support you have shown all of us who you have chosen to represent you. The confi dence and trust you have placed in us is truly humbling. I don’t know if there is anyone who is more humbled by the honor to serve than I am. It is not lost on me how signifi cant and historic it is that I am embarking on an unprecedented sixth term as Mayor of the great City of Everett. I think it is important for you to know that I have been refl ecting on what it means to have this innate I have been to serve as an elected offi cial in my hometown for over 30 years, and when I think back to how I got here my thoughts always start with my family. The most important lessons I have learned in my life started with the values and principles instilled in me by my parents. I would like to thank my father and mother for continuing to inspire me every day and for being living examples of what it means to work hard, to build a strong family and to care about others in your community by thinking about your Jackson named to Dean’s List at Stonehill College E ASTON, Mass. – Jacob Jackson of Everett was named to the Dean’s List at Stonehill College for the fall 2021 semester.

I have tried to follow the wonderful example set by my parents as I have raised my own children Carlo, Caroline and Alexandra. Being your father is the most important job that I will ever have. You have spent most of your lives, and in the case of my youngest daughter, Alex, your whole life, as members of a very public family. Growing up in these times is hard enough for young people, let alone when you do it with the added complication of having a father who is in a high-profi le position. I am inspired by the maturity and poise each of you continue to show at such young ages. I am grateful for the understanding that you have shown by allowing me to continue to be in public service and for the sacrifi ces that you have made along MAYOR | SEE PAGE 12 Councilman Matewsky honored For his service as City Council President, Wayne Matewsky was honored to receive a chair during the last City Council meeting of 2021.
