I found uses for the building, and for the last 10 years we’ve been maintaining it. I was told by the City Council to keep it, so we’ve kept it.

From there, he transitioned to South Boston High as Director of Student Support and part of their administrative team. He is now in his third year with PCSS as the Dean and track and football coach. He credits his extracurricular athletic endeavors to the support he has within PCSS. “I found a community here, and it has really helped me to focus on training,” said Jean. “Not wanting to let the community down, it’s a sense of pride.” A former football player at Charlestown High, Jean began Jean completed his lifelong goal with a fi nish time of 6:05:33.

While he is proud of his Chicago accomplishment and other races he has run out of state, he says that running his hometown race was his lifelong goal. Dean Jean runs with the Heartbreakers of the Heartbreak Hill Running Co., a Boston institution. His running team and Coach, Dan, kept him motivated and disciplined in his quest to complete the Boston Marathon. The team has trained every Saturday since Christmas of 2023 despite the fickle and inclement New England weather. Part of his training includes proper nutrition, as PCSS students have been quick to remind him. “On Fridays, we get pizza. Some students remind me that I couldn’t have it,” said Jean. “They care. They will say, ‘You have to fi nish the race, no pizza for you!’ They keep me honest.” PCSS students and student-athletes coached by Jean were along the course on Marathon Monday to cheer their mentor and coach on as he accomplished his goal. Seeing them there kept Jean excited and focused, and his biggest advice to his students and novice runners is to stay the course and keep reaching for the next goal. Jean completed his lifelong goal with a fi nish time of 6:05:33. Post-race, Jean’s new goal was to procure an “extra-large vanilla milkshake,” a treat training has prevented him from enjoying.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 26, 2024 Page 3 School Daze: The School Committee Has To Make A Decision! T 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Daily 4:00 PM Closed Sunday Announcing our Classic Specials Dine In Only: he Everett Advocate has received a number of phone calls regarding a serious incident involving the interaction between a School Committee member and a minority school leader. This School Committee woman claimed to be accepting of all people and fought hard to become a member of positive change for the School Committee. The November 2023 city election caused a great divide within the city regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. She claimed the “old Everett” was closed minded and racist against anyone diff erent from them. The “new Everett” is allegedly open-minded, diverse and equity inclusive driven. This School Committee woman claims to be all of what “new Everett” is and wants. Her campaign was based around diversity, equity and inclusion, stating that our elected offi cials need to be transparent, be open, honest and accountable with its citizens on how business is conducted. Her actions toward this minority school employee spoke otherwise. She acted derogatory and inappropriately in both words and actions. A formal complaint has been fi led by the employee. We are waiting for the review. It will be interesting to see the eff ect this racist incident will have on the School Committee. Will they see to it that this member will be accountable for her actions? We will continue to monitor this issue and keep the community informed as it unfolds. * FREE Salad with purchase of Entree, Monday & Tuesdays * Cheese Pizza - Only $10 Catch ALL The Live Sports Action On Our Large Screen TV’s SHOP LOCAL & DROP BY FOR DINNER! www.eight10barandgrille.com SABATINO/MASTROCOLA INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welcome the loyal customers of ALWAYS READY TO SERVE YOU: Our Staff are, Emma Davidson, Jeimy Sanchez, Josephine Leone, Marie D’Amore, Rocco Longo, Z’andre Lopez, Anthony DiPierro, Darius Goudreau, Laurette Murphy, Danielle Goudreau and Tina Davidson.

The journey began with a flight from Beverly Airport to Bangor International Airport. From there, the teachers boarded four planes in sets of two and fl ew northeast and then due west along the line of totality. At approximately 8,000 feet, Morrissey and Plotnick enjoyed unforgettable views of the total eclipse. “The entire horizon for 360 degrees looked like dawn with orange skies and darkness all around,” Plotnick said. “Jupiter, which would normally be obscured by the sun’s brightness, appeared as a very bright star just a bit below the sun from our viewpoint.” The EHS duo was fl own by pilot Charles Dale, who skillfully maneuvered a Cessna 182 through a series of 360-degree turns and banks, giving his passengers views of the eclipse from various angles. Dale is an Air Force ROTC graduate currently employed as a systems engineer for the Air Force. The CAP education program provides professional education for its members. Teachers can join for a modest one-time fee that renews at no charge every year. CAP provides free STEM resources to teachers, including a robotics program currently being utilized by Plotnick’s students.

However, it has not been all that bad for them. The past five games could be summed up easily to one bad inning, otherwise the Everett boys have been quite competitive against their Greater Boston League (GBL) rivals. First-year Everett head coach Malik Love understands it’s all fixable through more playing time in order to get that necessary varsity experience. “We are shooting ourselves in the foot right now,” said Love. “We have a young group of talented players, who are just making mental Everett’s Alex Lara at bat for the Tide during last week’s game against Revere. mistakes, usually in just one bad inning.” Alex Lara started the game on the mound against Revere, but after giving up a leadoff double and walking The Tide’s baserunner Jevaun Berberena takes a nice lead off first base against Revere during last week’s battle in Revere.

Isaiah Goffigan relieved him, but by the time the dust settled the Patriots had already scored eight runs. It was basically an even game for the next six innings. “Teams like Revere are not much better than us; they just capitalize on our mistakes, again usually because of one bad inning,” said Love.

Leading up to the Medford contest, the Tide girls were all over non-league O’Bryant (16-8), before taking down Greater Boston League (GBL) rivals Somerville (12-1) and Revere (16-7). On April 12 at Madison Park, coach Stacy Poste-Schiavo’s team doubled up O’Bryant to kick off April vacation on a successful note. Freshman pitcher Mia Allen started the game against O’Bryant before Peyton Warren made a triumphant return after taking a line shot off her elbow against Lynn English. Allen pitched one complete inning. During her stint in the circle, she walked seven that led to seven runs in the second. She ended up allowing no hits, while fanning two. things down, yielding just two walks, while issuing no hits that resulted in zero earned runs over three innings. She also whiffed two. The game was called after four. Olivia Dresser ignited the offense in the first inning with a one-out double. She moved to third on a passed ball, before coming home on a hard hit single to left by Ashley Seward. But O’Bryant tied up the proceedings in the home half of the first. The Tide girls broke the game wide open in the second with 13 runs. Emilia Maria-Babcock and Allen led off the frame with walks. They moved up into scoring position on a passed ball. Arabella Cvitkusic then reached on an infield single to load the bases. Maria-Babcock broke the tie by scoring on a wild pitch. Kassidy Rivera then reloaded the bases with a walk for Emma Longmore, who doubled home two. Dresser kept up the offensive surge with a run producing single. Seward then doubled home Longmore, before Gianna Masucci also came through with a double that produced two more runs. Maria-Babcock, up again for the second time in the inning, singled home Masucci. Allen and Cvitkusic followed respectively with a single and a walk to load the bases again for Longmore, who singled in two more, before Dresser blasted a three-run homerun to close out the uprising. But O’Bryant got seven of those runs back, mainly as a result of free passes in the bottom half of the second. After Bryanna Mason singled in the third, Masucci belted an apparent inside-the-park homerun, but was thrown out at the plate after Mason scored the team’s 15th run. In the fourth, Alessandra Foster singled, and eventually scored the final run of the game on another base hit.

They totally dominated the Patriots to the tune of 12-2. The Tide scorers against the Patriots were Amanda Verteiro, Christine Laforest, Tring Dang, Brigitte Reyes Cortez and Victoria Rodrigues. The Everett girls then had to deal with the wind and rain, not to mention non-league Lowell at Lowell’s Cawley Stadium the very next day, where they were shutout, 9-0. Goalie Khadija Ailane made 14 saves to keep things relatively close on the scoreboard.

They also lost the fi rst time around on April 5, 12-2. Freshman goalie Allia Polynice made her varsity debut, and she ended up stopping six shots. “The spirits were high, despite the pouring rain,” said fi rst-year head coach Chelsea McNiff . Last Saturday (April 20) at Malden, the Tide girls were shutout by the Golden Tornadoes, 10-0. It was a much more competitive game in the second half after the home team scored nine times before halftime. “Our defense was excellent in the second half, especially from the likes of Tanessa Duvilaire, Jackie Sampaio and Aura Linhares,” said McNiff . The Tide took on Revere again on April 25 after press deadline, before getting ready for non-league host Methuen Tuesday (April 30), starting at 5 p.m.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 26, 2024 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Somerville races to top in GBL Baseball race; Malden & Revere battle in Boys Volleyball Girls softball features Medford, Everett & Revere jockeying back-and-forth for top spot By Steve Freker W hen the season began, it was generally agreed that a number of teams could challenge for the top spot in the Greater Boston League Baseball race. For the past several years, it has been all about “The Lynns”: Lynn Classical and Lynn English. Lynn Classical has dominated the GBL for the past two seasons, winning back-toback league titles and putting together an eye-opening, 35-5 record overall. In 2021, the first season back from the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown, Classical finished in second place behind that year’s 2021 league champ, Lynn English. How about this year? Well, both of the Lynn teams – Classical and English – have younger than usual rosters, as both the Classical Rams and the English Bulldogs graduated many senior starters. Longtime Lynn Classical Head Coach Mike Zukowski also resigned after last season, leavBASEBALL | FROM PAGE 14 Negron threw the ball well for three innings against Revere. Negron gave up no hits, and whiffed four. “(Negron) was balling out there,” said Love. Negron also contributed a hit to the offense, along with Goffigan. There were a lot of walks, but when they did hit the ball Love was happy that they were able to put the ball in play. Against Medford, the Tide boys were plagued by late game mistakes, while early on they were very much competitive. Freshman starting pitcher Derek Soper was phenomenal throwing lights out to begin this game, according to Love. The Mustangs then scored three runs in the third inning, centered around a drop popup that aided in the offensive outburst. Medford enjoyed a 4-1 lead until the Everett offense woke up to score three times in the sixth to tie up the proceedings. Albert Santana knocked in a run on a hard-hit groundball to shortstop during the team’s comeback in the sixth. But then that one bad inning haunted Everett, once again, when Medford broke the tie with seven runs in the sevRevere Boys Volleyball Coach Lianne O’Hara Mimmo.

Elwell is well-known in the Babe Ruth circles, having led several Lynn teams to New England and once to a National Championship tournament. With the “Lynns” apparently in the rebuilding mode, it was enth to deceptively win it going away. But they did make a solid defensive play in that frame on a throw by Lara in centerfield to Nordeivy Santana to tag out a Medford runner at second base. “We just didn’t make the routine plays, once again,” said Love. “We have to learn how to finish off innings cleanly, and minimize errors in critical situations. But we are still showing signs of growth as a young team. “There are still 14 games left on the regular season schedule to turn everything around,” added the first-year head coach. “We have to remember it’s not how you start, but how you ultimately finish up the season. We can’t focus on the record, because it doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story.” Two days since the Medford encounter, the Everett boys returned to the diamond to play Malden on April 24 after press deadline. The Golden Tornadoes were the only GBL team they haven’t played before this past Wednesday’s contest. The schedule will now flip around again when they take on the Red Devils on Monday (April 29) at Chelsea’s Carter Park, starting at 4 p.m. expected that Somerville High’s Highlanders would be a key factor in this year’s GBL Baseball race. Like the Lynn teams and also Revere, Somerville was a senior-dominated team last season. This year? Somerville has perhaps the best two-way player in the league on its roster – senior lefthanded ace pitcher and middle of the lineup slugger Ian Born – but was expected to have a bit of a struggle with a rebuilding year. Born has not disappointed. Malden Boys Volleyball Coach Dan Jurkowski. (Courtesy photo) believed that the door was open for several other teams to challenge for the top spot. Maybe Malden, with a good mix of veterans, like senior captains Zeke Noelsaint, Jake Simpson and Ryan Coggswell, and young talent like pitchers sophomore Ryan McMahon and freshman Ryan Bowdridge. But look out, GBL, here comes Somerville! Very few SOFTBALL | FROM PAGE 14 the Tide on Patriots Day at Glendale Park, where the home team recorded its fifth win of the season in as many games. Warren pitched five innings against the Highlanders, before the game was called, because of the mercy rule. She ended up striking out five, while allowing two walks and two hits. The Everett offense got going right away in the first with two runs. Longmore started it off with a double, followed by a single from Dresser. Longmore, now on third, soon came home on a passed ball. Dresser eventually went to third on a passed ball, before coming home on a fielder’s choice off the bat of Seward. Somerville trimmed the deficit in half with one in the second. But in the third, Everett widened the gap with two more. After Seward singled, Masucci connected on a two-run homer to give her mates a 4-1 advantage. The Tide broke it open in the fourth with six more runs. Cvitkusic got it started by reaching first on a dropped third strike, and she eventually came all the way around to score the first run of the All he has done is represent as the top pitcher in the league, 4-0 on the mound with an 0.88 ERA and hitting at a robust .556 clip with 13 RBIs in 9 games, both league-leading numbers. His younger brother Colin Born has two pitching wins himself to boost the Highlanders. Looks like Head Coach Matt O’Donnell’s Somerville team has skipped the “rebuild” label and gone completely in the other direction – up! As the season approaches its midway inning. Later on in the frame, Seward singled in two more. Masucci was credited with a sacrifice fly to account for another run. Maria-Babcock tripled in a run, and Warren then singled her home, and all of a sudden, the locals were enjoying a 10-1 lead. The home team scored twice more in the fifth to end the game quickly via the mercy rule. Everett then continued the onslaught with a 16-7 win over visiting Revere. It was the team’s sixth straight victory. Warren went all seven innings, giving up seven hits, two walks and six earned runs. She whiffed six. “Revere has always had a great hitting team, and we saw that right away in this game,” said Poste-Schiavo. “One of our strengths is defense, so we needed to make those plays to keep Revere off the bases. Our bats came alive in the second and third innings, but we knew it wasn’t enough, because of Revere’s comeback ability.” After Revere took a 1-0 lead after one, the Tide wiped it out with six in the second. With the bases loaded, Longmore singled in two. Dresser doubled in a run. Seward then doubled home Dressmark, Somerville is perfect in Greater Boston League play at 6-0 and 7-2 overall. With just one more league game left in its first time around, versus Chelsea Wednesday this week, it’s a good bet they get past the first time around unbeaten. If Malden has any hope at a shot at its first GBL baseball title in 30 years – since 1994 – then Monday’s road trip to Somerville’s Trum Field is essential, a “must win” at all costs. With all of the other teams knocking each other left and right, at this point, the GBL title really looks like it’s Somerville’s to lose.

Maria-Babcock knocked in the final two runs of the inning with a single. The Tide extended the lead with seven more runs in the third. Their first two runs came home on a Revere throwing error, before Seward doubled home two more. She then scored on a fielder’s choice off the bat of Mason. Maria-Babcock singled in the final run of the inning. But Revere refused to give up, scoring six in the fourth, but still trailed by six, 13-7. The Tide got two back in the home half on a two-run blast by Dresser. It was the freshman’s third round tripper of the year. The Everett girls accounted for their final run of the game in the fifth on a single by Jayla Davila. The Everett girls have since traveled to Medford on April 22, where its six-game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the host Mustangs, 5-2. More on this game in next week’s Everett Advocate. They then hosted Malden on April 24 after press deadline, before playing them again in a rematch at Malden’s Callahan Park later today (April 26), starting at 4 p.m.

This matter was a topic of discussion at meetings in mid-March and early April. Right now, things are up in the air. “We’ll need to evaluate our next steps,” DeMaria’s Chief of Staff, Erin Deveney, said after the meeting. “We don’t have municipal spaces to house the uses, including the city’s own uses, but the mayor is committed to preserving the uses.” In discussion, Ward 4 Councillor Holly Garcia, who later voted for the appropriation, pointed out that the city is required to provide services to the Webster Extension students. “If the roof doesn’t get done, what happens?” she asked rhetorically. “If we don’t do the roof, we’ll lose the program we’re mandated to do,” DeMaria agreed. He also mentioned that insurance will expire at the end of the year without a new roof. “Is there a plan for where we’d house the organizations there now?” Jabouin asked. “No,” DeMaria answered. Theoretically, the preschool could be moved to the now unused Pope John High School, but a cost analysis presented by Planning Director Matt Lattanzi said renovating it would cost $31.3 GBL | FROM PAGE 16 2023, the upstart Revere High Patriots Boys Volleyball program reeled off a bunch of wins and captured the GBL title last season. Head Coach Lianne O’Hara Mimmo took over the program in 2019 and revved the engines right to the GBL Championship with the Patriots’ best-ever, 16-4 overall record. This year, led by senior captain and outside hitter Ruben Rodriguez, Revere is once again at the top of the list in the GBL, tied with Malden – both with 6-1 league records. Revere’s roster includes Isaac Portillo, Kawan Dias, Lucas Jiminez, Jacob Lopez, Ruben Rodriguez, Melih Yilmaz, Christopher Choc Chavez, Rayan Echelh, Medhi Echelh, Joao Almeida, Juan Perez, Omar Solano Garcia and Preston Kimemiah. Malden’s only loss was a 3-0 shutout to Revere at the Revere High School gym, while the Patriots’ only league loss was a 3-2 slip on the road at Chelsea. Probably regarded as an upset at the time to the million for work on its roof, HVAC and electrical systems, accessibility and other general repairs. He also said Pope John is less centrally located in the city and the old High School is better served by public transportation and “doesn’t provide space for the Health and Wellness Center, the Eliot Center, the boxing club or storage.” There has also been talk about an 8th Grade Academy to alleviate overcrowding in neighborhood K-8 schools, but DeMaria told the Councillors he doesn’t know if School Supt. William Hart wants to house that at Pope John or the old High School if it happens at all. “The $11.5 million request doesn’t relate to school overcrowding,” Lattanzi added. “It’s not about an 8th Grade Academy. That would be significantly more money. We’d need a cafeteria and different toilets. The $31.3 million for Pope John is to allow preschool students to use an equivalent space as at the old High School. The $11.5 million for the old High School is to maintain its current use and allows for additional appropriations for additional uses.” “The issue is not between the old High School and Pope John,” Smith feels. “This is a broader conversation of a Master Plan for all our buildRed Devils, it does not look like it as much right now. Chelsea, at 4-1 in the league (its only loss, 3-0 at Malden) has made it a three-team race in the GBL. Malden was up-and-down earlier in the season, but program founder and Head Coach Dan Jurkowski has the Golden Tornado ship pointed in the right direction. Key games for Malden are coming up quick: back-toback Wednesday home dates, hosting Chelsea on May 1 and a week later hosting Revere on May 8. Both are 5:15 p.m. starts.

It looks like it will be a three-team race moving forward with Medford unbeaten (5-0 GBL) and Everett (5-1 GBL) and Revere (5-2 ings. The garage at the old High School won’t be there forever. We need a new building for storage. We need a full Master Plan for all these buildings. I can’t vote for this until I know about the other buildings.” DeMaria answered that the cost for new buildings could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. “Until we can realize development of Lower Broadway, I’m not going to give you a plan for $500 million,” he said. In Public Comment at the outset of the meeting, unsuccessful 2023 Councillor-at-Large candidate David Senatillaka, who was later named to the Charter Review Committee, said the appropriation request for a roof for the old High School “needs to be considered on its own. Pope John is a separate issue. This has become a politicized issue, but we need to look at it holistically. If the roof isn’t replaced, we’ll lose use of a building that is a resource for groups in the city. I hope we won’t be back here in five years trying to rent space from a private company. Even if the roof isn’t replaced and the city maintains ownership of the building, what is the cost of maintaining it?” In a separate agenda item, Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked the administration to share its curGBL) close behind as the first league go-around concludes soon.

GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE STANDINGS GIRLS SOFTBALL Team Medford GBL All 5-0 5-1 rent economic plan with the City Council as part or separately from a Master Plan. “Do we have an economic plan?” she asked. “I don’t think we have one.” Earlier she called the old High School “part of Everett’s history. No one wants it torn down, but there’s no way around it. It needs a new roof.” Van Campen, who ceded the gavel to Smith for parts of the discussion before she ceded it to Marchese, feels the $2.5 million for additional work beyond the roof at the old High School is a low estimate. “I’d like to see more detail if we’re going to repurpose a floor,” he said before the vote. “There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether you [DeMaria] and the Superintendent are aligned as to the use of Pope John.” DeMaria confirmed Van Campen’s comment about the cost, but added that the city is seeking grants, including state aid for real estate technical assistance in issuing Requests for Proposals and Interest. Sensing the mood of the members, Martins motioned the matter be tabled, but only she, Garcia and Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro voted for that. In discussion of that motion, to no avail DeMaria said, “If we need to take more time, we can do that.

WITNESS, Hon. Terri L. Klug Cafazzo, First Justice of this Court. Date: April 19, 2024 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE April 26, 2024 were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ and representatives’ votes on bills that are currently in separate House-Senate conference committees which are trying to hammer out a compromise version of each bill following House and Senate approval of different versions of the bill. The members of a conference committee are appointed by the Senate president and House speaker. Once a conference committee works out a compromise version, the full House and Senate vote on that version which, if approved, goes to the governor for her signature. Here are some bills currently in conference committees, or soon to be in a conference committee, and how senators and representatives voted on the version originally approved by each branch. SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET INCLUDING $250 MILLION FUNDING FOR SHELTERS (H 4466 and S 2711) House 121-33, Senate 32-8, approved different versions of a supplemental budget that includes an additional $250 million in funding for the Emergency Assistance Program that funds the emergency family shelter system which houses migrants. Other provisions keep in place some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for take-out and expanding outdoor dining. The bills have been in conference committee since March 28. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes USE INTEREST FROM STATE’S “RAIN DAY FUND” TO LEVERAGE FEDERAL FUNDS (H 4446 and S 2554) House 154-0, Senate 39-0, approved different version of a bill that would leverage the interest from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to better compete for federal dollars, to ensure the state receives the maximum possible share of federal funds and to pay down the state’s long term debt liabilities. The Rainy Day Fund currently has a historic balance of $8.2 billion. The bills have been in conference committee since March 25. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes APPROVE FIREARMS CHANGES Yes (H 4139 and S 2572) House 120-38, Senate 37-3, approved different versions of a bill that would change some of the state’s gun laws including limiting the carrying of guns into public places including schools, polling places, government buildings and the private residences of others, with an exemption for law enforcement. Another provision would crack down on the spread of ghost guns -- unserialized and untraceable firearms. The bills have been in conference committee since February 29. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes EMPLOYERS MUST DISCLOSE A SALARY RANGE WHEN POSTING A JOB (H 4109 and S 2484) House 148-8, Senate 38-1, different versions of a bill, dubbed the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, which would require employers with 25 or more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The bills have been in conference committee since October 30. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (H 4241 and S 2703) House 151-0, Senate 40-0, approved different versions of a bill that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure makes it illegal to do so and establishes a sentence of up to 2.5 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000; increases the upper limit of the fine for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000; and allows a victim to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors, can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Offender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. This bill has not yet been sent to REQUEST FOR BIDS GRASS CUTTING SERVICES OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS Everett Housing Authority hereby solicits sealed bids from contractors offering to provide grass cutting services in accordance with the specifications in Bid Documents dated May 2024.

Everett Housing Authority is an Equal Opportunity Employer April 26, 2024 a conference committee because the Senate has not yet appointed its members of a conference committee. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL EXPAND PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENTS FOR POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS (H 2890) - The House gave initial approval to a bill that would expand the current law which provides a property tax abatement to the surviving spouses and minor children of police officers and firefighters “killed in the line of duty.” The bill provides that Yes the abatement also go to the families of officers who “died in the line of duty.” “Killed in the line of duty” has a limited definition usually meaning the individual lost their life in an incident, accident or due to violence that are directly related to their service. “Died in the line of duty” is broader and can account for a number of medical emergencies like stroke or heart attack. “This legislation honors the sacrifice of our brave police and firefighters,” said sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “This simple language change will assure that surviving family members receive the tax benefit they are deserving of and what I believe was the original intention of the exemption.” TAX INCENTIVE FOR URBAN AGRICULTURE (H 2852) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would promote urban agriculture and horticulture by allowing Gateway cities as well as cities and towns, with populations of more than 50,000, to exempt from property taxes any land of two acres or less that is used for commercial urban agriculture and horticulture. Additionally, the parcel must have had at least $500 in gross sales of agricultural or horticultural products in the prior year to be eligible for the tax exemption. “Rep. Vanna Howard (D-Lowell) and I filed this bill together to support small-scale urban agriculture, which expands access to healthy food and promotes economic growth in cities,” said co-sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “In addition to these benefits, urban agriculture also improves environmental health and makes local food systems more resilient. By incentivizing urban agriculture, this bill will help cities obtain the benefits of these operations.” INCREASE PARKING FINES (H 3326) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow cities and town to double the mazimum fine for some parking violations. Current law sets a maximum fine for many violations at $50 if paid within 21 days, $55 if paid after 21 days and $75 if paid after the parking clerk reports the parking offense and fine to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The bill increases the fines to $100 if paid within 21 days, $110 if paid after 21 days and $150 if paid after the parking clerk reports the parking offense and fine to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Rep. Susan Gifford (R-Wareham), the bill’s sponsor, said the current maximum fines established in have not been changed since 2004, nearly twenty years ago. “This bill does not establish any minimum fines or mandate an increase in any existing fines,” continued Gifford. “It merely gives communities the option to adopt policies that better suit local needs and enforcement priorities.” REPLACE PROPERTY TAX (H 4271) – The Revenue Committee held a hearing on a measure that would allow cities and towns to abolish the local property tax and replace it with both a personal and business income tax to fund the local city or town’s budget. The bill was filed by Rep. James Arciero (D-Westford) at the request of a constituent, under the state law that allows citizens to requerst their local legislator file a bill on the BHRC | SEE PAGE 21

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 26, 2024 Page 21 BHRC | FROM PAGE 20 constituent’s behalf. These bills are known as “by request” bills and do not necessarily have the support of the legislator who filed it for the constiuent. “This bill was filed at the request of Mr. Peter Barbella of Littleton who is interested in ways to decrease the real estate tax burden on seniors who typically are on a fixed income,” said Arciero. “He feels this would help seniors, who in many cases have already paid taxes for many years to their local town government, to stay in their long-term residence instead of being forced out by rising real estate tax rates. 1.

ANSWERS This bill would essentially allow a municipality to change from a revenue stream based on real estate taxation by replacing it with both a personal and business income tax to support a local town’s budget.” INCREASE TAX ABATEMENT FOR BLIND RESIDENTS (H 4458) – Another bill heard by the Revenue Committee would increase from $457 to $1,800 the amount of the real estate tax exemption for blind residents. Supporters said this exemption has remained at $437 for more than 20 years and has not provided the intended benefit to blind residents. “I sponsored this bill after being made aware of this issue by a constituent who had received this tax abatement for most of his life,” said sponsor Rep. Angelo Puppolo (D-Springfield). “It does not make sense for a benefit such as this one to lose its value with the US dollar. The figure should be updated to reflect the proportional assistance that was intended to be given to blind residents.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Utility accidents from damaged underground lines and pipes are both dangerous and costly. Calling 811 is the best way to ensure a line won’t be hit when starting a new home project this year.” --- James Van Nostrand, chair of the Department of Public Utilities, highlighting April as Dig Safe Awareness Month to remind excavators, contractors and residents to call Dig Safe’s 811 line before starting any outdoor digging projects. 811 is the line for Dig Safe, an organization that notifies gas, electric, telephone and cable companies about any intended digging project to ensure underground lines and pipes are not tampered with. “I am honored to be here tonight to express my support for Dana-Farber’s proposed adult inpatient hospital that will expand access and equity, reduce costs and save lives. I’ve always had great respect for the work Dana-Farber does, and even more so now that I’m a patient. This proposed cancer hospital will ensure Dana-Farber is equipped to provide every patient with worldclass care in an environment that supports the best health outcomes. But most importantly, it will offer more of what every single cancer patient and their families is looking for, which is hope.” ---Rep. Frank Moran (D-Lawrence) testifying in support of a new hospital dedicated to cancer patients and a new collaboration between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. “Although we are heading into warmer weather, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) can provide much needed assistance for customers who are struggling to keep up with their energy costs and helps to cover energy usage dating back to November 1, 2023.” --- Damaris Dominguez, Manager of Customer Advocacy at National Grid, urging people to sign up before April 30 for the fuel assistance program that can help them pay and manage their energy costs. “Over a million people each year use the MassLegalHelp website, often in moments of crisis. By providing information that folks can trust and presenting it in an understandable format, we hope to help make stressful situations less overwhelming and make the legal system more navigable.” ---Marlena Idrobo, MassLegalHelp Website Project Manager, announcing the official relaunch of MassLegalHelp.org --one of five websites it manages. “Our hospitals and research institutions are key contributors to Massachusetts’ global leadership BHRC | SEE PAGE 23 Name_________________________________________ Address_______________________________________ City_______________ State_______ Zip ____________ CC# _______________________________ Exp. _____ Sec. code____ Advocate (City):___________________ Clip & Mail Coupon with Credit Card, Check or Money Order to: Advocate Newspapers Inc.
