THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 10, 2024 Page 3 School Daze Racism Has No Place In Everett W e have been contacted by a member of the Keverian School Community who has knowledge of the alleged racist incident involving Robin Babcock and a school employee.According to our source, Robin Babcock allegedly made racist gestures and comments when meeting this employee.Apparently, this employee has fi led more than one complaint against her. Our Keverian School source told us that strong evidence was presented to the school committee.Also, the administrators and staff are supporting this employee’s complaint against Robin Babcock. The school committee voted to move into executive session to discuss the matter.Before doing so, School Committee Woman Samantha Lambert stated, “This body has no authority to discipline or revoke status of another committee member.”This statement is false.Every elected body has the authority to discipline any member they feel has acted inappropriately by asking them to resign or whatever else they feel is appropriate.This is the same school committee member that is very selective in her actions and chooses not to take action on employees who violate school policy and law. During public comment, a person stated that Robin Babcock has been School Committeewoman Robin Babcock is shown gesturing to her daughter who spoke on her behalf during public participation at Everett High School on Monday night. referred to as being honest and truthful.All of you must remember during her campaign she claimed she was a professor at UMass Boston.She still claims that occupation in Everett’s street listing book (Page 98), which is composed from the annual city census.After being questioned on her professorship, she quickly retracted her job status.Her actual job title is a Writing Program Manager which is listed on the UMass Boston website.As the Everett Advocate stated in our Trick or Treat article on November 3, 2023, “don’t be tricked by Robin Babcock who claims to be something she isn’t.” The committee took no action and will address this at their next meeting on May 20th .

Secretary Augustus’ visit also included a tour of Glendale Towers. The Secretary shared with the Mayor and the Representative provisions of Governor Maura Healey’s Affordable Homes Act bill that would create three times more capital funds for improvements to housing authority properties. The Governor’s bill is still pending in the legislature. “Representative McGonagle and I are doing what we can to advocate for our residents who are struggling to aff ord to live and need help,” said Mayor DeMaria. “I’d like to thank Secretary Augustus for taking the time to meet with us to discuss these important issues, and I remain hopeful that we can continue to help address these concerns.” Shown from left to right: State Rep.

Both Raymond – who wears an electronic bracelet and is currently barred from attending any meetings at City Hall and Everett High School due to a lawsuit fi led against him in Middlesex Superior Court by three City Hall employees – and Sterite, who was served by Everett Police on Monday, may be facing further criminal action due to the egregiousness of their recent actions of posting a high school student’s photos on a social media site. “We’ve had to take legal action with a no trespass order against the resident,” said Cristiano, referring to Sterite. “If this doesn’t cross a line, what does? To Public Commenters, I remind you, you are afforded miles of leeway in our meetings, but these proceedings have been corrupted by a small group of residents who jeer and snicker. I ask all of my colleagues to implore people to stop putting students in the middle of this nastiness. Can you say with sincerity an impartial resident would fi nd this a pleasant place to be?” In other business, the members accepted the Fiscal 2025 budget of $130,707,416 plus $4,600,000 for Special Education Transportation and chargebacks to the city of $32,749,540 for administrative and retirement expenses. The budget retains positions formerly funded with Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) aid allocated during the pandemic, new administrators and $63,978 for Translation and Interpretation for School Committee and other meetings. “As someone who speaks English as a second language, I’m glad we have that,” Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida-Barros said of the transition element. “I’m also happy we’re not laying anybody off and keeping positions previously funded by ESSER.” Nevertheless, he expressed concerns about additions to the administrative staff . “I advise the Superintendent to use caution in hiring,” he said. “I know we need some of these positions now, but we need to see the trajectory of what happens with the state budget.” “I’m trying to restore positions that will support the work we do, but will walk carefully on this,” Hart answered. “I also care about fi scal responsibility.” After the meeting he said positions were retained though funds from other grants. “We apply for every grant we can,” he said. “Being a Gateway City, an economically challenged city that once served as a gateway to prosperity for working class and immigrant families, we’re eligible for grants other communities aren’t.” In Public Comment, Everett Teachers Association President Kimberly Auger, School Administrative Assistant Rose Holt and Music Director Eugene O’Brien spoke in favor of the budget.

Metropolitan Area Planning Council awards more than $500k to 22 local projects Everett receives $40K for ‘Electrify Everett’ T wenty-two municipal projects in the Greater Boston region will soon put more than $500,000 to work advancing regional priorities in housing production, climate resilience, public health and more thanks to the latest round of technical assistance funding from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). MAPC, one of 13 regional planning agencies (RPAs) in the state, off ers technical assistance grants each year that help advance the goals identifi ed in Greater Boston’s regional land use and policy plan, MetroCommon2050. All 101 cities and towns in the MAPC region are encouraged to apply for the Technical Assistance Program (TAP), which helps municipalities take on critical projects that they do not have the capacity to address on their own. Nearly half of Massachusetts communities do not have professional planners to help shape their future economic development, transportation, housing, green spaces and municipal facilities. RPAs help with these essential tasks – everything from updating stormwater guidelines and managing data to preparing economic development plans. Much of this work is funded through District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) – dollars the Legislature and Governor appropriate annually, which are distributed to all RPAs, including MAPC. “Critical DLTA funding from Beacon Hill enables municipalities to address local needs across a wide variety of topic areas, including plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and zoning to encourage housing development,” said MAPC Executive Director Marc Draisen. “Our communities are creative, and they recognize the value of collaborating with neighbors. This year we are proud to see that many cities and towns have connected through TAP to scope a diverse range of projects with great potential benefi ts.” TAP is also funded through annual assessments from MAPC’s member municipalities, grants from private foundations, leveraged grants from state programs and fee-for-service con$500K | SEE PAGE 23

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 10, 2024 Tide softball runs winning streak to six after latest triumph against the Bulldogs Everett now gets ready to host non-league O’Bryant later today at Glendale By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School softball team (12-1) recorded four more wins starting with a 15-2 decision over visiting Chelsea on April 29. Freshman Mia Allen (2 hits, 2 walks, 1 HBP, 1 earned run, 13 strikeouts) pitched five innings, before the game was called, because of the mercy rule. “We really had to adjust to the (Chelsea) pitching, but once we did, we had some great hits,” said coach Stacy Poste-Schiavo. “Emilia Maria-Babcock went 2-for-2. Alexa Uga accounted for three hits and three RBI in four at-bats. Gianna Masucci was 3-for-3 with three homeruns and 6 RBI. Mia Allen did great (in the circle), while her defensive and offensive teammates supported her pitching efforts quite nicely.” The Everett girls scored seven runs in the first inning to break the game wide open early. Maria-Babcock ignited the attack with a leadoff inside-the-park homerun to centerfield. Jayla Davila and Bryanna Mason then drew walks, and moved up into scoring position on a passed ball. Uga doubled them home. Masucci followed with a two-run homer. After Allen was hit by a pitch, Alessandra Foster singled and Maria-Babcock walked to load the bases for Davila, who knocked in two with a hit to right to close out the uprising. The Tide tacked on the eighth run in the second after Masucci belted a solo shot, her second round-tripper in as many innings. They kept up the offensive explosion in the third with four more runs on a grand slam by Masucci. She was responsible for seven of the first 12 Everett runs. The Red Devils got two back in the fourth. before Everett scored three more times in the home half of the stanza. Maria-Babcock doubled home a run. Uga then singled her home. Masucci accounted for the third run of the inning on a fielder’s choice. The Tide then welcomed Lynn Classical to town on May 1, and by the end of the day Seniors, shown from left to right: Emma Longmore, Alessandra Foster, Arabela Cvitkusic, Bryanna Mason, Chloe Salvi, Stephany DeSouza and Gianna Masucci. (Advocate file photo) they had secured their 10th win of the year, a 16-4 victory over the Rams. Peyton Warren (4 hits, 4 walks, 4 earned runs, 3 strikeouts) was back in the circle, going five innings in another mercy rule game. Everett jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first as a result of a three-run blast by Uga. They tacked on two more in the second. Emma Longmore was credited with a run-producing single. Mason then singled her home later on in the inning. Classical got three back in the third, but the home team netted nine in the home half to break the game open to the tune of 14-3. Longmore singled in the first run. Olivia Dresser kept it going with a double knocking in another run. Mason singled in two more, followed by a two-run double by Ashley Seward. Maria-Babcock ended the uprising in the frame with a three-run blast. The Rams notched their final run of the game in the fifth on a solo shot, while the Tide scored twice when they came to the plate to invoke the mercy rule, once again. Warren walked with the bases loaded to account for one of the runs. Davila singled in the final run. “Our bats were on fire today,” said Poste-Schiavo after the Classical game. “The girls were patient at the plate, and made great hits, especially with runners in scoring position.” Longmore (2-for-3, 2 singles, 2 RBI), Dresser (1-for-3, 1 double,1 RBI), Mason (2-for-4, SOFTBALL | SEE PAGE 18 Tide baseball stages comeback to beat host Lynn English to secure third win Everett heads to Charlestown to take on the non-league Townies later today B y Joe McConnell The Everett High School baseball team (3-9) was rewarded for its efforts during a rebuilding season with a win against host Lynn English Monday afternoon (May 6) at Lynn’s Fraser Field, 8-5. It was the Tide’s third win of the year, and first-year head coach Malik Love is looking for even more before the end of the regular season. “This game was a confidence booster,” said Love. “It showed that we can compete with the experienced, competitive players in the Greater Boston League (GBL).” The Bulldogs enjoyed a 3-0 lead in the second, before the Tide rallied for five runs in the fourth. Junior Reinaldo Santiago got the big hit in the inning, when he singled in two runs after the Tide loaded the bases. The Everett boys tacked on three more runs as a result of walks and some passed balls. “Reinaldo (Santiago) has had a tough year with limited playing time, but that didn’t stop him from delivering in the big moment,” said Love. “It showed me that every kid on this team is capable of competing in this league.” Nordeivy Santana pitched the first two innings, before senior Alex Lara went the next five to secure the win. Santana whiffed three, while giving up two runs during his stint on the mound. Lara, who fanned five, really earned his win in the seventh inning after he loaded the bases with one out. “He had to face the (Lynn English) batter who hit a homerun off him in the fifth, a 370-foot shot over the right-field fence. But this time (Lara) won the battle by striking him out with the bases loaded on all fastballs,” said Love. “(Lara) then got the final out of the game on a liner to centerfielder Albert Santana.” The Tide won this game, despite not having three key players for the game. “We were missing Derek Soper, Enrico Vega and Isaiah Goffigan, but still found a way to come toAnderson Santiago makes the out at second base during recent action against Revere.

The Percussion Ensemble finished 9th and were voted the Audience Favorite Award in a recent competition in Dayton, Ohio. In other items, the members approved resolutions by Lambert for a School Building Committee to be formed for the current proposals for a new High School and to include designated members of the School Committee, City Council, School Department and City administrations, and for the City Council to include the School Committee and School Department administration in open discussions about school space, including development of a comprehensive study of all city-owned buildings through a joint working commission. “I believe in collaboration,” she said, echoing comments she made at a meeting on February 27. Everett is one of the very few school systems with kindergarten to 8th grade neighborhood schools, although at one time the Parlin School was a Junior High. The 2019 closure of Pope John XXIII High School – now owned by the City and slated for housing – and the age of the old public High School, which is now being used for preschool and other programs, prompted the building of the current High School in 2007 and eventually led to K-8 neighborhood schools, but the current High School is overcrowded. Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s longterm plan is to build a new High School at Rivergreen Park, complete with a vocational program, and presumably convert the current High School into a Middle School. The funding, approval and building process could take years, if it happens at all. But the City has applied to the state School Building Authority to proceed. - LEGAL NOTICE - City hosting annual Kids to Parks Day event May 18 A day of fun with activities for kids and families at Swan Street Park M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett will host the annual Kids to Parks Day event on Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Swan Street Park (located at the intersection of Swan Street and Kinsman Street).

Architectural plans for proposed project have been provided by Nicholas Landry, registered architect, of DRT Architecture. The lot is 12,933 square feet according to plot plans provided by David Philip Trenzoni, professional land surveyor, of Fodera Engineering. Reason for Denial: Pursuant to Section 6.B.3.a of the Zoning Ordinance, building height shall not exceed (4) four-stories or (65) sixty-five feet. The current plans show the building proposed to be (5) five-stories. A variance is required from the Zoning Board of Appeals. - Pursuant to Section 6.B.2, maximum floor area ratio shall not exceed 2.0 (1.5 for residential uses). According to the plans provided, the existing floor area ratio is 1.18, and the proposed is 2.72. A variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals is required. - The project will require site plan approval from the Planning Board, pursuant to Section 19 of the Zoning Ordinance. - The project will require an Inclusionary Zoning Special Permit from the Planning Board, pursuant to Section 32 of the Zoning Ordinance. - The project will require compliance with the Transportation Demand Management provisions of Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Joseph McGonagle Yes PRIORITIZE 12-MONTH RESIDENTS (H 4600) House 27-131, rejected an amendment that would give priority consideration for inclusion in the emergency housing assistance program, when space becomes available, to residents who have resided in the state for a minimum of 12 consecutive months and are on the waitlist for the program. “With a growing number of people on the waitlist for emergency housing assistance, we need to set clear priorities to better manage the demand and eliminate the waitlist,” said House GOP Minority leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “When doing so, it’s only fair that longtime residents of the commonwealth in need of services should take precedence over someone who has just arrived here from out of state.” Amendment opponents said the amendment might be unconstitutional. They also noted that people from around the world who are the victims of rape, violence and oppression are coming to Massachusetts and the state should not impose residency requirements on these suffering migrants. “I would also just like to underscore … that no families -whether they are longtime Massachusetts residents or families that are new to the state -- are being put out on the street,” said Rep. Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley) who opposed the amendment. “We do have these overflow shelters. I don’t want anyone to be operating under the assumption that we have Massachusetts residents who are being left out on the street, so once again, I ask you please … to reject the residency requirement.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment giving priority to 12-month residents. A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No ELECTRIC SUPPLIERS (S 2738) Senate 34-4, approved and sent to the House a bill that would bar electric suppliers from enrolling new individual residential customers in contracts, beginning on January 1, 2025.

Under this alternate version, energy brokers, marketers and suppliers would be required to obtain licenses from the Department of Public Utilities, pay fees and maintain bonds. It imposes regulations on in-person or door-todoor marketing practices and requires third-party verification and identification badges for agents. It also imposes conditions on suppliers’ licensure renewals, including notification requirements and restrictions on termination fees. Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) said the amendment is aimed at reforming the industry by holding accountable those acting inappropriately in the marketplace, increasing public awareness on best practices to save money and ensuring greater transparency in energy pricing. “There is value in competition to lower consumer rates however I believe to effectively address this issue is by market reform instead of total eradication,” said O’Connor. “The amendment … holds suppliers accountable by identifying bad actors and preventing misleading market practices through new regulations.” Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), Senate chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy, said the amendment used “lousy language.” Barrett signaled competitive suppliers have not added value to their product, despite having 25 years to prove themselves in the marketplace. “There’s nothing redeemable about this particular option,” said Barrett. It’s too bad. I think a lot of us were very optimistic in the late 90s -- this should have worked,” Barrett said. “Turns out that the product was absolutely fungible. These middlemen don’t have lower costs, they have higher costs.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment that replaces the ban with a new bill imposing regulations. A “No” vote is against the amendment.)

Zoning Ordinance: Section 3 General requirements paragraph C Section 4 Dwelling District B Dimensional requirements line 2-b Mary Gerace - Chairman Roberta Suppa - Clerk of Board of Appeals May 03, 10, 2024 The House gave initial approval to a bill that would mandate that insurance companies in the Bay State automatically provide residential owners with insurance for damage to home and property caused by a leak in a residential liquid fuel tank or home fuel supply lines. Each policy would provide this coverage and homeowners can either keep the coverage or opt out. Current law requires that companies make coverage available for owners but supporters say that while coverage is available, there are many documented cases of companies not making owners aware that the coverage is available. They said this often results in homeowners being unaware they do not have insurance coverage until after they experience a liquid fuel tank leak. Supporters said that some 100 homeowners experience an oil leak in Massachusetts every year. They noted that leaks can incur costly damage to the residence itself, but under Massachusetts law owners are responsible for environmental cleanup, which can rise to $100,000 or more, to dispose of contaminated soil and mitigate the spread in surrounding areas. “A constituent who had a leaking oil tank, unaware of available leak insurance, had to deplete their savings for a leaking basement oil tank cleanup,” said sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). Howitt explained that the opt out option, as opposed to the current opt in option, would protect more consumers.” The Senate has already approved a different version of the bill. DRIVING WITH AN EXPIRED LICENSE (H 3376) – The House gave initial approval to a bill making driving with an expired license a civil infraction. Current law classifies it as criminal and carries with it a fine up to $500. The bill would reduce the fine to $50 if the license has been expired for less than 90 days and $100 if the license is expired for 90 days or more. The legislation distinguishes an expired license from a revoked license or a driver who never possessed a license. “This legislation makes sense because sometimes people merely forget to renew their license,” said sponsor Rep. Chris Markey (D-Dartmouth). “People should not be arrested for being forgetful as opposed to someone who is knowingly endangering others on the road.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “This new program is paramount for nurturing a thriving creative ecosystem across the commonwealth. This funding is a catalyst for innovation, offering the recipients the freedom to explore new ideas, take risks, and push the boundaries of their craft.” ---Michael Bobbitt, Executive Director of Mass Cultural Council, announcing $1.9 million in $5,000 grants to 385 Massachusetts artists, culture bearers and creative practitioners from the fiscal year 2024 Grants for Creative Individuals. “These predatory for-profit schools harmed vulnerable students for their own financial gain, leaving student borrowers burdened with debt and without viable job or financial prospects. Thanks in part to the diligent work of my office, I, alongside the Department of Education, am tremendously proud to announce meaningful debt relief for former students of The Art Institutes and help advance consumer and economic justice for these struggling borrowers.” ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell announcing $80 million in federal student loan debt will be discharged for over 3,500 former Massachusetts borrowers who attended the Art Institutes, including the New England Institute of Art, a Brookline-based predatory for-profit school that made false promises and misleading enrollment claims. “It is welcome news for small businesses and residents alike that Gov. Healey is not pursuing any tax increases for the foreseeable future. The more money we keep in the pockets of employers and consumers the better as the effects of prolonged inflation persist.” ---Christopher Carlozzi, State Director for the Nation Federation of Independent Business in Massachusetts. “Massachusetts consumers, restaurants and bars can all toast to the fact that cocktails togo are here to stay. During the pandemic, cocktails to-go were a critical source of revenue for many businesses, and now, the increased convenience and stability they offer is permanent.” --- Andy Deloney, senior vice president at the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States on Gov. Healey signing a supplemental budget that keeps in place some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for takeout. 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 April 29May 3, the House met for a total of 24 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 17 minutes. MON. APRIL 29 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:12 a.m. Senate 11:08 a.m. to 11:12 a.m. TUES. APRIL 30 No House session No Senate session WED.MAY 1 No House session No Senate session THURS.

The Mayor is asking residents to participate in the special task of honoring those who served in the U.S. military and are now laid to rest by helping place U.S. fl ags on veteran-marked graves. Volunteers will meet at the cemeteries to receive fl ags and disperse to fi nd and place the fl ags beside veteran-marked graves. “If you haven’t had the opportunity to join us for this effort before, it is a truly humbling experience to be reminded of the sacrifi ces that the men and women from our very own community were willing to make to defend our country and our freedom,” said Mayor DeMaria. “Placing fl ags is a small but important way for us to thank and remember the individuals who are no longer with us for their service.” Volunteers are asked to meet at the following locations and times: ● Glenwood Cemetery (Washington Ave., Everett, Mass.): Tuesday, May 14: 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. ● Woodlawn Cemetery (302 Elm St., Everett, Mass.): Monday, May 20: 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. If you are able to participate, please contact Veterans Agent Gerri Miranda at Gerri.Miranda@ci.everett.ma.us.
