STATE HOUSE LEADERS: State Representative Joseph McGonagle (right) and State Senator Sal DiDomenico are eager to continue their successful teamwork at the State House and their fight for Everett taxpayers during the 191st General Court’s Second Annual Session, which started on January 1, 2020. Last year DiDomenico secured more than $10.6 million for Everett in the Senate’s fiscal year 2020 budget; in the House of Representatives, McGonagle earmarked $10 million in the state’s Transportation Bond Bill to design a Commuter Station in Everett. Both of these elected officials are well-respected for their leadership roles. The consensus around the city is that both of these dynamic elected officials should be re-elected.

The 1877 structure, one of the finest commercial mansard buildings in the area, will be renovated and restored to accommodate 23 hotel rooms and a fine dining restaurant. Located at the corner of School and Norwood Streets, the building is in the heart of Everett Square, an area about to undergo tremendous change. “We hope that this proposal can serve as a keystone for the forthcoming Everett Square Redevelopment,” said Jeffrey Bouvier, the building’s owner. In fact, the Everett Square studies done by the city’s consultants see the preservation and adaptive reuse of this building as central to that effort. “We are happy to participate in the rejuvenation of the area and will do our part to provide impetus,” said Bouvier. Much of the building’s robust brick and stonework will be restored in the undertaking. The mansard roof will be rebuilt to provide rooms in the attic while the entire interior will be rebuilt to comply with the fire codes.

In the design of the new hotel rooms – designed by Peter Quinn Architects of Somerville – no two rooms are alike. Each room provides a unique view through different historic windows, arches, added skylights or hidden balconies. A cupola-like rooftop lounge and attic penthouses will be added.

The intention is that the adjacent restaurant will serve both the hotel’s guests and patrons of the Square at large. “The restaurant, with the City’s greenspace at its front door, can become a real focal point for the community,” said Bouvier. The basement level will provide space for back-of-house functions for the hotel as well as a kitchen area for the restaurant. The post-Civil War building has a storied history. The building was originally designed by George Wallis, who designed many of Everett’s important civic and commercial buildings of the era. In the first few decades it served as a grocery and provision store and the city’s first library, and it was most well known as the Odd Fellows Building. A large meeting hall for the Odd Fellows still exists on the upper levels of the building. As time passed, the building accommodated a multitude of different commercial uses. “We believe that getting out front of the Everett Square redevelopment with an important beautiful building will provide a great centerpiece to the exciting work ahead,” said Bouvier. Keverian students complete stormwater project A s a community surrounded by water, Everett has a unique opportunity to highlight the importance of preventing stormwater pollution from reaching our rivers and streams. “I want to thank the Mystic River Watershed Association, Exelon and the Everett Public Schools for raising awareness of our beautiful waterfront and educating our kids on the importance of our local environment,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “Stormwater is the leading cause of pollution in our rivers and streams, and finding a solution is critical to enhancing our quality of life.” The Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) recently completed an interactive science and design program with Keverian School fifth graders, which was led by MyRWA Education Program Manager Marian Miller. Students in Jada Simmons-Ononeme’s class developed ways to catch stormwater pollution. “The greatest benefit of this project was working with the Mystic River Watershed Association and providing my students with a hands-on real life issue that they could work to create a solution for,” said Simmons-Ononeme. “Students were introduced to a career opportunity that they have never thought about before.” “We want to educate and inspire our future stewards,” said Miller. “Far too often when I go into the classroom youth do not know about the local river that sits in their backyard. With our programs we introduce students to the watershed, help them understand it, think critically about issues facing it and explore possible solutions.” The five-day course concluded on Monday as the students showcased their designs to a group of distinguished guests that included MyRWA Stormwater Project Manager Catherine Pedemonti, Exelon Generation Communications Manager Mark Rodgers and Everett’s Executive Director of Public Works and Engineering, Gregory St. Louis. MyRWA’s education programs are funded in part by a substantial grant from Exelon Generation. The Everett Public Schools hope to expand this program to middle school classrooms throughout the district. “I am consistently impressed with the achievements of Everett students in STEM programs and I am pleased that Exelon Generation is supporting the Mystic River Watershed Association to bring their handson, interactive STEM program into classrooms like this one, across the watershed,” said Exelon Generation Northeast Region General Manager Archie Gleason. “This program not only educates students, it provides them with an opportunity to become stewards of the environment right in their own communities.” The Keverian students embraced the coursework, working in teams to design and build devices that will keep pollutants out of the water. They received valuable feedback from Pedemonti and St. Louis, two experts in solutions related to stormwater and drainage. “Ms. Simmons-Ononeme’s students applied the engineering design skills they gained earlier in the year to an authentic local challenge,” said Everett Public Schools Science Director Ann Ritchie. “Being given the time and resources to test their own ideas makes them engineers in their own right.” About the Mystic River Watershed Association MyRWA was founded in 1972 with a mission to protect and restore the Mystic River, its tributaries and watershed lands for the benefit of present and future generations and to celebrate the value, importance and great beauty of these natural resources. The Mystic River Watershed is a network of streams, rivers and lakes, all draining into the Mystic River. The watershed has been an integral part in the development of the 21 Greater Boston communities it connects.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Page 3 Matewsky pursues change in election landscape C By Christopher Roberson ouncillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky has continued his effort to change the city’s election format by having City Council and School Committee seats be specific to their respective wards rather than being voted citywide. The matter was initially brought before the City Council on September 9, 2019, with the discussion resuming on January 13. Matewsky said that Everett is the only community in Massachusetts that still uses this antiquated method to elect city officials. “It’s confusing to the voters,” he said. “In my view, this is undemocratic, it’s obof legal ramifications, adding that similar matters have been contested in court on two different occasions. “The city will be sued at some point,” said Matewsky. Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro said the ward vote does not carry much weight under the current election format. “How you do in the ward doesn’t really count,” he said. Therefore, Matewsky said Wayne Matewsky Councillor-at-Large scene. We have to fix this, it’s really not right.” He also cited the probability that the matter should be sent to the state as a Home Rule Petition so the necessary changes can be made to the City Charter. However, Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone felt differently. “I’m not a big fan of sending things to Home Rule Petition Lafayette student presents check in memory of late Kiwanian anyway,” he said. “Any change to the Charter should absolutely go back to the people.” Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon said such a change is not needed. “I’m opposed to this; I’ve always been opposed to this,” he said. “You’re here to vote on all the matters in the city.” He also said that each councillor is paid $25,000 a year to serve Everett’s residents. Therefore, if a councillor is only going to vote on matters affecting their particular ward, their salary should be reduced to $4,111 per year. However, Matewsky said financial gain is not a reason to serve on the City Council. “I don’t think people serve here for the money to begin with, at least I don’t,” he said. “I was up here when it paid $999 a year. It’s not about the money and it’s insulting, to be honest with you; it’s totally insulting.” Lash Extensions Mega Hair Elite $20 OFF NEW CLIENTS Natural Classic Full Sets Only $60 Hybrid Full Sets Only $80 454 F 617-389-1900 www Everett Kiwanis Club President Rafael Santos presents Kiwanis Builders Club student Evelyn Gayhart with a Certificate of Recognition for service and leadership as she presented a check for $75 from participating in the 5K Walk for Ersilia last year, which will be an annual walk to raise funds for domestic violence.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Page 5 City Hall offers virtual appeal hearings S By Christopher Roberson tarting on January 21, residents will no longer have to wait in line at City Hall to appeal a parking ticket or code enforcement violation as those hearings can be conducted using Facetime and Skype. “This new and innovative service will ease the burden of coming to City Hall to appeal a citation. Many individuals struggle to physically come to City Hall,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “This new service will ensure due process is afforded to all.” Director of Communications Thomas Philbin said Everett is the only community in the state that offers this service. “We’re not aware of anyone else who does this,” he said. Chad Luongo, the city’s 311 director, said he will conduct parking hearings on Mondays and Thursdays, and Jennifer Gonzalez, a paralegal in the tual hearing at least 48 hours in advance. Hearings can be scheduled by emailing parkinghearings@ci.everett.ma.us and ISDHearings@ci.everett. ma.us. In addition, appellants are not required to be present for hearings as they can elect to have a representative speak on their behalf. At the time of the hearing, Luongo or Gonzalez will call the resident on Skype of Facetime to conduct the hearing. Once the hearing is completed, the hearing officer’s decision will be sent to the appellant electronically or through the mail. Chad Luongo, the city’s 311 director, uses his tablet to test the new virtual hearing service.

Now, the same proceeding can happen from the comfort of a resident’s home or office. “They never have to come into City Hall,” said Luongo. Encore closes out 2019 with a bang By Christopher Roberson E ncore Boston Harbor continues to be the region’s most popular casino – posting an incredible $54.01 million in gross gaming revenue for December 2019. That figure surpasses the casino’s own sales record of $52.49 million, which was reported in August of last year, according to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Approximately $31.4 million of Encore’s December revenue came from table games and the remaining $22.6 million came from slot machines. The state will collect $13.5 million in taxes from Encore’s December earnings. In contrast, December was the worst month for MGM Springfield since that gaming venue opened in August 2018. MGM reported a gross gaming revenue of just $18.95 million, a 12 percent decline compared to the prior year. Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, which opened in March 1999, reported a dismal $10.2 million in gross gaming revenue. December was the second consecutive month that Plainridge Park had revenues totaling less than $11 million.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Page 7 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ How Martin Luther King, Jr. Changed Hearts By Dr. Earl H. Tilford M y father was a Presbyterian minister in rural northwest Alabama from 1961 to 1965. I came of age there, then left the University of Alabama with an M.A. in history in 1969. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Governor George C. Wallace framed the historical context of a changing south to which I returned in 2008. In retrospect, 1963 was a watershed year in my life. On June 11, 1963, I watched on the television in our den as Governor Wallace stood in the door at the University of Alabama’s Foster Auditorium to fulfill a campaign promise to physically stop school desegregation. Quixotic as this proved, given that two African American students were already registered, the gesture got him reelected three times. Later that summer, on August 28, I watched as Martin Luther King eloquently prophesized “one day right there in Alabama” black children would “be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.” Eventually, those days arrived. A month later, on Sunday, September 15, 1963, while I was in my room studying Spanish at the start of my high school senior year, my dad summoned me to the den where he had been watching professional football. A news bulletin revealed four young African American girls were killed at Birmingham’s Sixteenth Street Baptist Church when a bomb detonated under the backstairs by a women’s bathroom where they primped after Sunday School. My dad, who previously had supported racial segregation, wept. “Son, if this is ‘defending our southern way of life,’ it’s not worth it.” The next Sunday his sermon was titled “God the Father Implies the Brotherhood of Mankind.” It was not well received. Dad’s epiphany resulted in a series of sermons related to securing civil rights while abjuring violence in the process. On a January night in 1965, during my freshman year in Tuscaloosa, while dad was in Huntsville, Klansmen burned a cross on our lawn. This terrified my deaf-since-birth mother. They also shot and killed my dog. In April, my parents moved to serve a church in Coral Gables, Florida. I remained at the University of Alabama for four more years. My father’s ministry ended two decades later as a missionary in the Cayman Islands. The bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, along with many other atrocities, were part of the warp and woof of life in Alabama during the turbulent 1960s. While a student, I heard Governor Wallace speak on campus every year at the annual Governor’s Day celebration. In 1967, his wife, the newly elected Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace, awarded me the Air Force ROTC’s “Military Excellence” medal. After I saluted her, Alabama’s real “Guvnor” standing beside her, heartily shook my hand, “Congratulations, son! Alabama is proud of you.” I nodded and smiled. Martin Luther King, Jr. masterfully used rhetoric to deliver a powerful message that he effectively coupled to imageries of repression that included fire hoses, police batons, and cattle prods against demonstrators. The arc of history moved inexorably toward justice overcoming prejudice backed by Klan violence. Change came slowly, subtly, but surely. On Monday, July 6, 1964, four days after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, my father, mother, and I drove to Tuscaloosa from Leighton, Alabama. A scholarship for which I’d applied required a family interview with one of the university’s deans. On the way into town dad spotted a Morrison’s Cafeteria at campus edge. After the interview, dad suggested we have lunch there before the long drive home. As we drove into the parking lot, we spotted Klan picketers in full regalia mulling around the entrance. Mom strongly urged going elsewhere. Dad grumbled, “Bozos don’t tell me where I can eat.” Those Klansmen intended to intimidate would-be patrons of any color. As we approached, I noticed a sign: “You might be eating off the same plates as coloreds.” Undaunted, dad led us into the line: where a hulking Klansman stepped in front of my father and snickered, “Y’all must be some kind of n——r lovers.” Dad, a former collegiate football lineman, fixed that Klansman with a cold, unblinking stare and then replied in a measured and unwavering voice, “You bet.” The Klansman grunted, then stepped back. My father had become part of a changing South. With time, many white southern hearts changed. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s message of peaceful resistance moved America toward his vision, stated eloquently on August 28, 1963: “A day will come when all God’s children … will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, ‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.’” Today, we honor Dr. King’s memory. —Dr. Earl Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East & terrorism with the Institute for Faith and Freedom at Grove City College.

Middlesex Sheriff’s Office warns of Social Security scam B ILLERICA – The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office (MSO) is warning residents to be alert for a recently reported government imposter scam. On Monday the MSO received a call from an area resident alleging he had been contacted by a man purporting to be with the IRS. The alleged perpetrator told the resident his Social Security number (SSN) had been canceled because it had been compromised and used in Texas by criminals; the perpetrator further told the resident his bank accounts had been frozen as a result and that a MSO representative would be following up with additional details. A short time later, the resident said he received a call from an individual posing as an MSO member and was told that two deputies would collect his old Social Security card and issue him a new card and number. In an effort to further convince the resident the call was legitimate, the alleged perpetrator used spoofing technology to make it appear as though the call was coming from a leFor Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@ advocatenews.net gitimate sheriff’s office telephone number. “It’s critically important for residents to be aware that their Social Security numbers cannot be canceled or suspended,” said Middlesex County Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian. “Fortunately, in this case, the resident felt something was amiss and followed up with our office to confirm this was a scam.” People who believe they have been the victim of this, or any, imposter scam are encouraged to contact their local police department.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Everett continues Lead Services Replacement Project E verett’s drinking water is some of the highest quality drinking water in the nation. Many years ago the Commonwealth of Massachusetts disincorporated and flooded four towns in central Massachusetts and created the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs for drinking water for Metropolitan Boston. Today our drinking water travels many miles through an underground system to your tap. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) and the Everett Department of Public Works perform thousands of tests each year to ensure Everett’s water is safe and of the highest quality. However, lead in drinking water continues to be a concern. The MWRA has been below the lead action level system-wide for many years, but there are still many lead service lines within MWRA member communities, including in Everett. Service lines are the pipes that connect the water main in the street with the pipes in a home. Lead was widely used in service lines until 1944, and lead is common in many of the older Massachusetts communities. Homeowners and the local governments have replaced many lead service lines, but some remain. Over time, lead from pipes can leach into drinking water. The MWRA has developed a $100 million, zero-interest loan program to help communities remove these lead service lines, and Everett has implemented Phase 1 of a Lead Services Replacement Project. The Water Department focused on the neighborhoods west of Main Street and north of Waters Avenue, replacing service lines at approximately 150 properties with known or suspected lead water service lines. Per Everett Water Department Rules and Regulations, service lines on private property are the responsibility of the property owner and not the responsibility of the City. However, to resolve potential health concerns, the City of Everett continues to fund the entire cost to replace the affected water service lines, the typical cost of which is $5,000 to $7,000 per service line. Preliminary design of Phase 2 is already underway, with Tata & Howard, Inc. providing engineering services to the City of Everett as was the case during Phase 1. Construction of Phase 2 is anticipated to take place in 2020. The City is making a proactive effort to aid the community at large through a systematic, area-by-area approach to replacing suspected lead service lines.

Page 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Everett boys roll to double-digit wins A By Greg Phipps fter opening the 2019-20 campaign with a loss, the Everett High School boys’ basketball team had notched wins in six of its last seven contests entering this week. The latest victory was a 67-52 win over Malden last Tuesday. Though the Malden win came by 15 points, head coach Stanley Chamblain thought the effort could have been better. “We were lackadaisical at times, lethargic on both ends of the floor when it came to execution and defensive intensity.” Chamblain said there were moments when his team showed the ability to be the type of team they can be, and said the less-than-stellar performance overall provided teaching moments for what’s in store the rest of the season. “Nonetheless, we fought till the end and secured the victory,” he concluded. Dimitry Philippe led all scorers with 13 points in a 68-53 home win over Lynn Classical back on Jan. 3. Chamblain called it a “good team victory” when Everett did all the necessary things to come out on top. The Crimson Tide boys, who stood at 6-2 overall entering this week’s action, hosted Somerville on Tuesday winning 53-34 and resume play on Monday when they participate in the Boston Amateur Basketball Club’s Martin Luther King Day Classic at Cathedral High School.

Senior Carolann Cardinale was one of three Crimson Tide players in double-digits in last week’s 70-point offensive explosion against Malden. By Greg Phipps D espite having gone through nearly half its season without a blemish to its record, the Everett Crimson Tide girls’ basketball team still has areas where improvement is needed. According to head coach Tammy Turner, playing a full 32-minute game is one of them. “I would like to see us play BATTLE: Everett’s Ralph Enayo fights for the basket with some offensive help from Jonathan Ore (#2). OUT OF MY WAY: The Tide’s Paulo Silva Rodrigues makes his move away from a Somerville defender on Tuesday evening. four strong quarters, keep our intensity and play the way I know we’re capable of,” she said. “I don’t think we’ve done that yet. We’ll need to do that in order to compete with the stronger teams down the road. We’ve had some lulls during games. We’ll play good in one quarter and not so well in the next [period]. We can’t afford to take a quarter off against [the stronger competition].” Overall, however, the results have been all positive so far for the Everett girls, as they’ve rolled out to an impressive 8-0 record as of early this week. A 70-28 rout of Malden back on Jan. 7, and a much closer 43-40 edging of Somerville on Tuesday night kept the Lady Tide unbeaten on the season. Th r ee Eve r e t t p l ay - ers finished in double figures against Malden; Andrea Manley poured in 16 points to lead the way, followed by Maya Kirnon’s 15 points and Carolann Cardinale’s 10. Kirnon was the lone double-digit scorer against Somerville. She netted 11 points. Turner believes the team’s speed, defense and balanced scoring have been the most crucial factors in this year’s strong start. “We’ve been getting a lot of consistent scoring from four or five players, and we’ve had three or four different players finish as our top [game] scorers,” she observed. “Our speed on defense has helped us a lot. Some of our points are coming off fast breaks created by the defense.” Looking ahead, Everett’s defensive play will be the biggest component for success, according to the coach. “Intensity on defense is the number one thing for us,” Turner said. “We focus on that in practice more than anything else.” The Everett girls have two road games upcoming. They travel to Arlington Catholic Friday night and have a 5 p.m. Martin Luther King Day tilt at Salem on Monday.

Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Carbon Tax Bill could increase taxes by $1,263, cut private sector jobs I n July 2019, the Fiscal Alliance Foundation announced the results of a study into the effects of House Bill 2810, An Act to promote green infrastructure and reduce carbon emissions. The study was commissioned by the Foundation and conducted by the Beacon Hill Institute (BHI). Professor David Tuerck, BHI’s president, who was scheduled to testify on January 14 at the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy hearing on the carbon tax bill. The study found that the averCouncil on Aging to host Valentine Party M age Massachusetts household would see its tax bill increase by $755 in the first year. By the fifth year, that annual tax load would increase to $1,263. Massachusetts would see a loss of 11,090 private sector jobs in its first year, increasing to 18,240 by its fifth. The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance (MassFiscal) made the following statement: “The Massachusetts carbon tax is just that, a tax and nothing more. It would eliminate tens of thousands of private sector jobs and result in a $755 tax per household. The only thing it wouldn’t significantly eliminate is carbon emissions. The study commissioned by the Foundation indicates the reduction would be negligible. It’s another example of a reckless proposal, echoing many points found in Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, conceived without any thought to its consequences,” said MassFiscal Spokesperson/ Board Member Paul D. Craney. Under the carbon tax bill, the environmental benefits to the Commonwealth would be insignificant. Massachusetts accounts for only 0.12 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, meaning the tax would reduce global emissions by 0.0027 percent in the first year of implementation, increasing to 0.0035 percent by the fifth year. Practically speaking, this diminutive benefit would not mitigate sea water levels, cure asthma or impact the daily lives of any living creature on earth. “The Massachusetts carbon tax bill does not address the most obvious problem for the bill’s effectiveness, which is that Massachusetts cannot control what air enters the state and what air leaves the state,” said Craney. “As more lawmakers get swept into the hysteria of the climate alarmists, and tie their hopes behind a misguided and very expensive carbon tax bill, it means they are not working on solving other more important environmental problems facing the state like the cleanup of the polluted Merrimack River and addressing the recycling industry’s rising costs,” said Craney.

Editor’s note: The Angel Fund for ALS Research is a nonprofit charity located in Wakefield, Mass. ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects neurons in the brain and the spinal cord. People living with ALS slowly lose the ability to control the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. While 10% of ALS is familial in origin because of a genetic defect, the other 90% of ALS cases are considered sporadic, or without a family history. There is no cure for this fatal disease Cancer mortality rate in steady decline T he cancer death rate declined by 29 percent from 1991 to 2017, including a 2.2 percent drop from 2016 to 2017, the largest single-year drop in cancer mortality ever reported. The news comes from “Cancer statistics, 2020,” the latest edition of the American Cancer Society’s annual report on cancer rates and trends. The article appears online in “CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians” and is accompanied by a consumer version, “Cancer Facts & Figures 2020.” The steady 26-year decline in overall cancer mortality is driven by long-term drops in death rates for the four major cancers – lung, colorectal, breast and prostate, although recent trends are mixed. The pace of mortality reductions for lung cancer – the leading cause of cancer death – accelerated in recent years (from two percent per year to four percent overall), spurring the record one-year drop in overall cancer mortality. In contrast, progress slowed for colorectal, breast and prostate cancers. Overall cancer death rates dropped by an average of 1.5 percent per year during the most recent decade of data (2008-2017), continuing a trend that began in the early 1990s and resulting in the 29-percent drop in cancer mortality in that time. The drop translates to approximately 2.9 million fewer cancer deaths than would have occurred had mortality rates remained at their peak. Continuing declines in cancer mortality contrast with a stable trend for all other causes of death combined, reflecting a slowing decline for heart disease, stabilizing rates for cerebrovascular disease and an increasing trend for accidents and Alzheimer’s disease. Lung cancer death rates have dropped by 51 percent (since 1990) in men and by 26 percent (since 2002) in women, with the most rapid progress in recent years. For example, reductions in mortality accelerated from three percent per year during 2008-2013 to five percent per year during 2013-2017 in men, and from two percent to almost four percent in women. However, lung cancer still accounts for almost one-quarter of all cancer deaths, more than breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined. The most rapid declines in mortality occurred for melanoma of the skin, on the heels of breakthrough treatments approved in 2011 that pushed one-year survival for patients diagnosed with metastatic disease from 42 percent during 2008-2010 to 55 percent during 2013-2015. This progress is likewise reflected in the overall melanoma death rate, which dropped by seven percent per year during 2013-2017 in people ages 20 to 64, compared to declines during 20062010 (prior to FDA approval of ipilimumab and vemurafenib) of two percent to three percent per year CANCER | SEE PAGE 19

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Savvy Senior Food Assistance Programs Can Help Seniors in Need Dear Savvy Senior, I would like to find out if my 73-year-old aunt is eligible for food stamps or any other type of food assistance program. It seems that she has a difficult time affording enough food each month, and I would like to help if I can. What can you tell me? Searching Niece Dear Searching, Sadly, millions of older Americans, like your aunt, struggle with food costs. According to a recent study by Feeding America, 5.5 million U.S. seniors age 60 and older are food insecure. Fortunately, there are several programs that may be able to help. Here’s what you should know. SNAP Benefits While there are millions of seniors who are eligible for food stamps, less than 40 percent actually take advantage of this benefit. Food stamps are now referred to as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. However, your state may use a different name. For seniors to get SNAP, their net income must be under the 100 percent federal poverty guidelines. So, households that have at least one-person age 60 and older, or disabled, their net monthly income must be less than $1,041 per month for an individual or $1,410 for a family of two. Households receiving TANF or SSI are also eligible. Net income is figured by taking gross income minus allowable deductions including a standard monthly deduction, medical expenses that exceed $35 per month out-of-pocket, and shelter expenses (rent or mortgage payments, taxes and utility costs) that exceeds half of the household’s income. In addition to the net income requirement, a few states also require that a senior’s assets be below $3,500, not counting their home, retirement or pension plans, income from SSI or TANF, and vehicle (this varies by state). Most states, however, have much higher asset limits or they don’t count assets at all when determining eligibility. To apply, seniors or an authorized representative will need to fill out a state application form, which can be done at the local SNAP office or, it can be mailed or faxed in. In many states it can be completed online. If eligible, benefits will be provided on a plastic card that’s used like a debit card and accepted at most grocery stores. The average SNAP benefit for 60-and-older households is around $125 per month. To learn more or apply, contact your local SNAP office – call 800-221-5689 for contact information or visit fns.usda.gov/snap. Other Programs In addition to SNAP, there are other federal programs that can help low-income seniors, age 60 and older, like the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) and the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). The CSFP (see fns.usda. gov/csfp) is a program that provides supplemental food packages to seniors with income limits at or below the 130 percent poverty line. The SFMNP (fns.usda.gov/ sfmnp) provides seniors coupons that can be exchanged for fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets, roadside stands and community supported agriculture programs in select locations throughout the U.S. To be eligible, your aunt’s income must be below the 185 percent poverty level. There are also many Feeding America network food banks that host “Senior Grocery Programs” that provide free groceries to older adults, no strings attached. Contact your local food bank (see feedingamerica.org/findyour-local-foodbank) to find out if a program is available nearby. In addition to the food assistance programs, there are also various financial assistance programs that may help your aunt pay for medications, health care, utilities and more. To locate these programs, and learn how to apply for them, go to BenefitsCheckUp.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on some of the bills that were approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker in the 2019 sessions. Of the more than 6,000 bills that have been filed for consideration, only 148 have been approved and signed by the governor. And only 25 of those were bills that affect the entire state while the vast majority were either sick leave banks, local land taking measures or other local-related measures applying to just one city or town. Sick leave banks allow public employees to voluntarily donate sick, personal or vacation days to a sick leave bank for use by a fellow worker so he or she can get paid while on medical leave. Land takings are local land measures that usually only affect one city or town. Here are five of the 25 important, statewide-related bills signed into law: BAN CONVERSION THERAPY FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 (H 140) House 148-8, Senate 34-0, approved and on April 8 Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that would prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists and other health care providers from attempting to change the sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of anyone under 18. Conversion therapy exposes the person to a stimulus while simultaneously subjecting him or her to some form of discomfort. The therapy is primarily used to try to convert gays and lesbians to be straight. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALLOW UNIONS TO CHARGE NON-UNION MEMBERS FOR SOME COSTS (H 3854) House 154-1, Senate 39-1, on September 19th, overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of a bill that would allow unions to charge non-members for the cost of some services and representation. The measure would also give unions several new rights including access to state workers’ personal contact information with their home addresses, home and cell phone numbers and personal e-mail addresses. The bill was filed as a response to a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees case that public employees cannot be forced to pay fees or dues to a union to which he or she does not belong. Freedom of speech advocates hailed the decision while labor advocates said it was an unjust attack on unions. (A "Yes" vote is for the bill. A "No" vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes REPEAL CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (S 2186) House 155-1, Senate 373, on April 25 overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 in welfare benefits to children conceived while—or soon after— the family began receiving welfare benefits, or if they had received family welfare benefits in the past. The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. (A “Yes” vote is for repealing the cap. A “No” vote is against repealing it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes COLLEGE CLOSURE (H 4099) House 158-0, Senate 37-0. approved and on November 14 the governor signed into law legislation that would require colleges and universities to post financial information online in a publicly accessible fashion, undergo regular budgetary screening and alert state officials if they face imminent closure. The possible closure information would remain private to allow struggling institutions to recoup without alarming the public. The measure also requires board members at every college and university to undergo regular fiduciary and accreditation training. If the board determines that a school does in fact face closure, the school would be required to create a contingency plan with details outlining how students can complete their programs, how their records would be maintained and how deposits would be refunded. The board would impose a fine of up to $1,000 per day if it determines that an institution has failed to comply with this new law. The board would also have the power to suspend state funding to the institution or revoke degree-granting authority. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes BAN FLAVORED VAPING AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS (H 4196) House 119-33, Senate 326, and on November 22 Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that would ban the sale of flavored vaping and tobacco products— including mint and menthol cigarettes—and impose a 75 percent excise tax on e-cigarettes. Businesses that don’t comply with the bill’s provisions could have their Lottery licenses temporarily suspended. The bill also requires commercial health insurers and MassHealth to cover the costs of smoking cessation programs and nicotine replacement therapy. Another provision raises the penalties on retailers for illegal tobacco sales. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of January 6-10, the House met for a total of one hour and ten minutes while the Senate met for a total of three hours and 16 minutes. Mon. January 6 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:13 a.m. Senate 11:12 a.m. to 11:16 a.m. Tues. January 7 No House session Wed. January 8 No House session Fri.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Page 17 Tide hockey eight points from playoff berth By Greg Phipps I n the second season of its merger with Mystic Valley, the Everett High School hockey team is making a serious challenge to earn a playoff spot this winter. The Crimson Tide needs just eight points over the second half of the season to gain a spot in the Division 2 tournament. In the midst of a three-game winning streak entering this week, head coach Alex Naumann has seen his squad go 6-3 over its first nine games. The most recent victory was an 8-3 romp over O’Bryant last Wednesday. Preceding it were triumphs against Minuteman (5-4) and Nashoba (6-0). The Nashoba win came in the consolation game of the annual Everett Christmas Tournament. Naumann said some roster adjustments had to be made coming into the season and the players have responded well. “We were without a couple of [key] players from last year, and some guys had to move around and change positions,” he explained. “I think they’ve done pretty well so far.” Naumann in particular cited player Cameron Couto, who switched from forward to defense and has a done a great job. The team is also getting some productive offensive play from juniors Max Brown (13 goals, seven assists) and Brendan Currie (eight goals, eight assists) and freshman David Saia (five goals, seven assists). Brown tallied four times against O’Bryant. Senior captains D.J. Schovanec, who has played solid at the goalie position, and Brian Delorey have shown great leadership, according Naumann. “Last year when we merged with Mystic Valley, we just wanted to make sure the kids learned to work together and have a good year,” he said. “The kids are willing themselves a little further this year. They’re hungry and hoping for something more this season.” The Tide earned five wins last season and have already eclipsed that mark this winter. Everett last qualified for the postseason back in 2015. The Tide played at Somerville on Wednesday night and host Rockport on Saturday (scheduled 4 p.m. faceoff). Everett resident named to Dean’s List at Connecticut College N EW LONDON, Conn.– Caroline Karakey of Everett was named to the Dean’s List at Connecticut College for the 2019 fall semester.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 CANCER | FROM PAGE 14 in those ages 20 to 49 and one percent per year in those ages 50 to 64. Even more striking are the mortality declines of five percent to six percent in individuals 65 and older, among whom rates were previously increasing. “The news this year is mixed,” Experienced Bartender/Server wanted for restaurant in Everett Square. Call (617) 387-9810 Lawn and Yard Care SNOW PLOWING *REASONABLE RATES * PROMPT SERVICE * PARKING LOTS USA 781-521-9927 said Rebecca Siegel, MPH, coauthor of the report. “The exciting gains in reducing mortality for melanoma and lung cancer are tempered by slowing progress for colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers, which are amenable to early detection. It’s a reminder that increasing our investment in the equitable application of existing cancer control interventions, as well as basic and clinical research to further advance treatment, would undoubtedly accelerate progress against cancer.” Highlights from the report include: • The death rate for breast cancer dropped by 40 percent from 1989 to 2017. • The death rate for prostate cancer dropped by 52 percent from 1993 to 2017. • The death rate for colorectal cancer dropped by 53 percent from 1980 to 2017 among males and by 57 percent from 1969 to 2017 among females. • Decades-long rapid increases in liver cancer mortality appear to be abating in both men and women. • Cervical cancer, which is almost completely preventable, caused 10 premature deaths per week in women ages 20-39 in 2017. Other highlights include: • In 2020, 1,806,590 new cancer cases and 606,520 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. • Progress for hematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies (leukemias and lymphomas) has been especially rapid due to improvements in treatment protocols, including the development of targeted therapies. The five-year relative survival Page 19 rate for chronic myeloid leukemia increased from 22 percent in the mid-1970s to 70 percent for those diagnosed during 2009 through 2015, and most patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors now experience nearly normal life expectancy. Overall, the cancer incidence rate in men declined rapidly from 2007 to 2014, but stabilized through 2016, reflecting slowing declines for colorectal cancer and stabilizing rates for prostate cancer. The overall cancer incidence rate in women has remained generally stable over the past few decades because lung cancer declines have been offset by a tapering decline for colorectal cancer and increasing or stable rates for other common cancers in women. The slight rise in breast cancer incidence rates (by approximately 0.3 percent per year) since 2004 has been attributed at least in part to continued declines in the fertility rate and increased obesity, factors that may also contribute to increasing incidence for uterine cancer (1.3 percent per year from 2007-2016). Lung cancer incidence continues to decline twice as fast in men as in women, reflecting historical differences in tobacco uptake and cessation. In contrast, colorectal cancer incidence patterns are generally similar in men and women, with the rapid declines noted during the 2000s in the wake of widespread colonoscopy uptake appearing to taper in more recent years. Incidence continues to increase for cancers of the kidney, pancreas, liver and oral cavity and pharynx (among non-Hispanic whites) and melanoma of the skin. Liver cancer is increasing most rapidly, by two percent to three percent annually during 2007 through 2016, although the pace has slowed from previous years. The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined diagnosed during 2009 through 2015 was 67 percent overall, 68 percent in whites, and 62 percent in blacks. Cancer survival has improved since the mid-1970s for all of the most common cancers except cervical and uterine cancers. Stagnant survival rates for these cancers largely reflect a lack of major treatment advances for patients with recurrent and metastatic disease. “The accelerated drops in lung cancer mortality as well as in melanoma that we’re seeing are likely due at least in part to advances in cancer treatment over the past decade, such as immunotherapy,” said the American Cancer Society’s Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, William G. Cance. “They are a profound reminder of how rapidly this area of research is expanding, and now leading to real hope for cancer patients.” 379 Broadway Everett 617-381-9090 All occasions florist Wedding ~ Sympathy Tributes Plants ~ Dish Gardens Customized Design Work GIFT BASKETS Fruit Baskets www.EverettFlorist.net Call Driveways from $25
