THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 14, 2023 Page 3 ~ OpiNiON ~ It’s about honesty and integrity – and the company you keep N ever in the history of Everett have we witnessed such dishonesty and lack of integrity within its boundaries. At fi rst glance, we witness the city’s oldest newspaper become a tool of vicious lies – journalistic integrity tossed into the gutter, all for power, money and revenge; its pages fi lled with lies and fabrications in order to destroy a political opponent – all in the name of greed and power. For over fi ve years, Everett’s citizenry would endure disgusting words printed on the pages of what used to be the city’s only newspaper – history rewritten and burned to ashes. A city, its eye blackened, falsely and maliciously declared racist by a corrupt publisher and its owner in order to win an election. Joining the gang, a school superintendent, who would use the hateful and corrupt words of the Leader Herald in order to consolidate what little power she could wield in the school system by exploiting students who felt they needed to stand up for an inept tyrant who ran the school department through intimidation and fear. Case in point: the recent resignation of the well-respected and winning high school football coach, Rob DiLoreto, whose parents raised a family and established a popular photography business in Everett – that adhered to the traditions of Everett pride. DiLoreto, by all accounts, took over the coaching position and continued the team’s winning ways, its student-athletes playing their hearts out for their coach. Unlike the current leadership on Vine Street, DiLoreto coached and mentored the team into a traditional Everett powerhouse through hard work, sportsmanship and love of the city and its values. Everett’s rich football history is the envy of football programs across the state, if not the country; just like its marching band, cheerleaders and youth leagues. But as of late, honesty and integrity have been hard to come by. According to sources, former EHS football standouts, for whom this publisher once purchased a Super Bowl ring and jacket following another state championship, have now become “hall monitors” to keep the fi ghts within the high school walls to a minimum. One of the two brothers, whose names shall remain nameless for now, has been given the blessing of the superintendent to become the next head coach as he has been recruiting students outside the school system to come and play at EHS based on his claim that he will be the new head football coach for Everett High. And recent reports suggest that DiLoreto’s resignation did not go well when the brother who claimed to be the next head coach asked the junior members of the football team to “dress up” in their sport coats and petition the superintendent for a football coaching position.
