THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, March 15, 2019 Page 7 ~OP-ED ~ Councillor says different political agendas, false issues divide community B eing a city councilor is a great honor and I take pride in representing the people of Everett. Each day I strive to work with my colleagues to maintain meaningful representation for each member of the community I love and call home. Four years ago, I made my first run for political office, campaigning on the idea of bringing civility and a common sense leadership style to the city council chambers. When I served as President of the Council in 2017, I fostered a respectful working environment and sought to maintain harmonious relations with every member of city government. As of late, different political agendas, purposely hurtful and false reporting have sought to divide our community and have caused some to stray from civil discourse and healthy debate. Unfortunately, some have bought into the repeated falsehoods while in pursuit of forwarding their own agenda. These distractions are self-serving and only seek to tear apart the great progress we have seen in Everett. I will never allow mere propaganda to dictate the business we conduct at city hall. I seek to remind all that we are one team – and that team is EVERETT. Our city is on the cusp of a great deal of positive change with major redevelopment happening everywhere we look. It’s going to take team work and the putting aside of political differences to get us there. It’s is our duty Boston City FC to hold open tryouts at Harry Della Russo Stadium in Revere Sunday, March 17 B oston City FC will hold Open Tryouts for prospective players at Harry Della Russo Stadium in Revere on Sunday, March 17, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Lions technical staff will oversee the search for players with the potential to compete with the first team in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) and the Boston City FC II development squad in the Bay State Soccer League (BSSL). Players wishing to join the tryouts must register and complete payment at the Boston City FC website. A sign-up form is now available. All tryouts participants must be aged 18 or older. The 2019 NPSL season is set to kick off in late April, while the new BSSL league and cup campaign opens on March 30. Open tryouts have given opportunities to several first team regulars, including 2016 top scorer Homero Morais, defender Marcelo Cunha who is the club’s appearances leader, and 2017 regional all-NPSL selection midfielder Michael Rincon. Last year, midfielder Chris Gilbert and forwards Danny Apajee and “Reko” Wesad Al-Saadi were among those who emerged from the tryouts and saw action in the BSSL and U.S. Open Cup qualifying. Boston City FC plays at the highest level of the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) sanctioned league structure in the eight-team North Atlantic Conference of the NPSL Northeast Region and will call Harry Della Russo Stadium in Revere home for the upcoming season.
