The reason an initiative like this works is because they include holistic and community-driven programs that address the root causes of poverty and offer wrap-around high-quality services across every aspect of life from education to health care to childcare to community building and so much more. I am grateful for leaders like Geoffrey Canada and Kwame Owusu-Kesse who are spreading these ideas across the country and creating opportunities for countless scholars.” “Every child deserves a community built entirely around their success.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 22, 2026 Page 19 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller The Silent Warning: Dear Savvy Senior, My 60-year-old brother was recently diagnosed with prediabetes, which surprised all of us because he’s fairly active and isn’t overweight. Now I’m wondering if I could be at risk too. Does prediabetes run in families, and what exactly does it mean? --Younger Sister Dear Younger, Yes, you could be at risk. Having a close family member with diabetes increases your chances of developing it yourself, though family history is just one factor. Age, weight, lifestyle, blood pressure, cholesterol, and certain ethnic backgrounds also aff ect risk. Here’s a clearer look at prediabetes and what you should know. What Is Prediabetes? Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It is far more common than most people realize. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 115 million American adults have prediabetes, and the majority don’t know it. Without intervention, many will develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years. Even before diabetes develops, elevated blood sugar can quietly damage blood vessels and raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision problems. Once diabetes develops, daily blood sugar monitoring, medications or insulin, and lifestyle adjustments may become necessary, which can affect overall quality of life. The good news is that prediabetes does not make diabetes inevitable. In many cases, it can be reversed. Modest weight loss, regular physical activity, and healthier eating habits can signifi cantly reduce – or sometimes eliminate – the risk of progression. In some situations, medications may also be prescribed to help control blood sugar. Who Should Get Tested? Prediabetes usually causes no noticeable symptoms, so testing is the only reliable way to know if you have it. Adults age 45 and older should be screened, particularly if overweight. Younger adults should also consider testing if they are overweight and have other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of diabetes. Certain ethnic groups – including Latino, Black, Asian, and Native American adults – have higher risk and may benefi t from earlier screening. To quickly assess your risk, take the free online screening test at DoIHavePrediabetes.org. How It’s Diagnosed If you are at risk, your doctor can order one of three blood tests. The fasting plasma glucose test requires an eight-hour fast. The oral glucose tolerance test measures how your body processes sugar. The hemoglobin A1C test reflects your average blood sugar over two to three months and can be done at any time, regardless of when you last ate. Most Medicare and private insurance plans generally cover diabetes screening tests at little or no cost if you meet risk criteria such as being overweight, having high blood pressure, or having a family history of diabetes. Home glucose meters are not intended to diagnose prediabetes. Take Action If you are diagnosed with prediabetes, don’t panic. Many people restore healthy blood sugar with lifestyle changes alone. Losing 5 to 7 percent of your body weight, getting at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, and reducing refi ned carbohydrates can make a meaningful diff erence. For additional support, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsors the National Diabetes Prevention Program, which offers structured lifestyle-change classes in person and online across the U.S. (cdc. gov/diabetes-prevention). Local hospitals, clinics, and community centers may also off er similar programs. The most important step is awareness. A simple screening test can provide peace of mind or give you the opportunity to take action now and prevent diabetes in the future.

We also had good offensive opportunities from players like McKenzie Rivera and Osorio-Bonilla late in the game, but we struggled to get that clutch hit with runners on base.” The Mustangs scored twice in the first, and tacked on four more runs in the second. They were held scoreless in the third by the Everett defense. But in the fourth, they reached double figures with another four runs. They closed out the offense in the sixth with a sixrun outburst, which invoked the mercy rule.

As a result of that effort, she competed quite nicely in every match.” In second singles, Le fell in straight sets, 2-6, 2-6. Despite the loss, Meninger remains optimistic that she will enjoy success in the future. “I’m excited to see how much better Trina gets in the offseason. I know that she has the ability to be one of the best players in the Greater Boston League (GBL) next season,” the coach said. McNally and Pineda teamed up in first doubles to beat the Patriots tandem, 6-4, 6-4. “It was exciting to see how much fun they both had playing together, while still being competitive,” said Meninger. “They really stepped up this year, playing wherever we asked them to play without hesitation.” Sepulveda and Falkowski then made quick work of their second doubles opponents to cruise to a 6-1, 6-0 victory to remain undefeated on the season. “Luna’s competitive nature and work ethic helped her shine on the court this spring,” said Meninger. “She came into the season not knowing anything about tennis, but (quickly) excelled in it.” The Tide started the final week of the regular season with a 4-1 loss to non-league Mystic Valley at Malden CathSPORTS | SEE PAGE 21

Boys volleyball drops two to rivals Somerville, Revere T he boys volleyball team (4-13) took on Somerville (May 6) and Revere (May 11), only to lose both home matches by scores of 3-0 and 3-1, respectively. “Both of these teams are strong, tall and experience, and are enjoying (much) success this season. But I still liked the way we hung in there against them,” said coach Mike Fineran. Against Somerville, the Tide boys got better as the match progressed. They lost the first set, 25-15, but narrowed the gap considerably in the final two sets, 25-17 and 25-23. Junior Akush Gurung connected on 11 of 12 serves, while coming up with six kills. Senior Matheus Teixeira Fernandes was 9 of 10 in serves, and had a team-high nine kills. His classmate Isaque Agostinho accounted for two kills, and Randy Hou, also a senior, chipped in with one. Against first place Revere, Fineran knew that his team would have their hands full. “We only made back-to-back points once throughout the first two sets. But in the third set, senior Noel Lopez Ardon served up the first five points, Gurung had two kills, Teixeira Fernandes came up with four kills and a block and freshman Miguel Rodovanski aced the last point of the set to give his teammates a 25-19 win to force a fourth set, where the team missed three of its first five serves to dig themselves into an early hole. But three serves and an ace by junior Donart Maksutaj to go along with two kills from senior co-captain Victor Rosa were able to trim the deficit to five, 18-13. Revere, however, eventually clamped down to take the set, 25-13 to secure the overall match.

This involves a non-IRA annuity. The beneficiary will then have the option of stretching out payments over his or her life expectancy under Internal Revenue Code Section 72(s). The beneficiary also has the option of receiving each monthly payment in a tax efficient manner by utilizing the exclusion ratio contained in certain products offered by insurance companies. Each payment would contain a certain portion that is non-taxable representing a return of the initial investment. Each payment would also contain a certain portion that is taxable representing built-in gain in the tax-deferred annuity. In a typical tax-deferred annuity, if you invested $100,000 and it is now worth $200,000, the first $100,000 of withdrawals would represent taxable income. The earnings are withdrawn first. Once the earnings are exhausted, then the remainder would represent a non-taxable return of the original investment. If you are the beneficiary of a tax-deferred annuity with a substantial amount of built-in gain (i.e. taxable income), you might consider not cashing out the policy as that would result in a significant amount in federal and state income taxes. You might consider executing a tax-free 1035 transfer into a new annuity policy in your name alone. This would allow you to invest as conservative or as aggressive as you wish based upon your risk tolerance, risk capacity, priorities, goals and objectives. You can receive payments over a long time horizon resulting in much greater tax efficiency and a better opportunity to provide for retirement income. Upon the death of the annuitant of a tax deferred annuity, a beneficiary must withdraw all of the funds in the annuity by the end of the fifth year following the annuitant’s death. The beneficiary can withdraw all of the monies in year one, take monthly withdrawals over the five year period or wait until year five to withdraw all of the monies. If an annuity is held in a taxable IRA account, a non-spouse beneficiary must withdraw all of the funds by the end of the 10th year following the IRA owner’s death. A spouse can roll the IRA annuity into his or her own IRA and continue with tax deferral until required minimum distributions (RMD’s) are required which is at age 73 for people born prior to January 1, 1960. For those born January 1, 1960, or later, the RMD age is 75. This was provided for in the Secure Act 2.0. So long as you are provided with options, you then can make the decision that is best for you. There are no right or wrong answers. Everyone’s situation is different. Joseph D.

Public Safety and City Services will cost $$46.9 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 4.9%. Van Campen said the budget will “continue investment in police, fire and emergency communications; support rapid responses to resident and business needs; maintain critical inspectional and public safety services and strengthen the City’s core public safety infrastructure. Fixed costs and health insurance will cost $41.2 million, a $5.8 million, or 16.3%, increase over Fiscal Year 2026. To help control costs, especially those for health insurance, he plans to speak with public employees to come up with a plan and a solution. Among the possible solutions are eliminating carrying over vacation days over multiple years by capping them and reducing the cost of employees taking cars home by eliminating most nonunion, non-public safety employees from taking cars home, which will cut fuel and vehicle maintenance costs. Another $19.7 million is slated for Infrastructure and Neighborhoods, a $1 million, or 5.5%, increase over Fiscal Year 2026. In the new budget ~LEGAL NOTICE~ some utility costs will be transferred to facilities; practices and procedures will be implemented to account for building related expenses more responsibly to align costs and resources in a fiscally sound fashion.

All in all, Van Campen hopes to foster “a positive workplace and community culture and deliver inclusive, high quality public service.” Funds generated outside the main operating budget include $24 million from water and sewer enterprise accounts, an increase of 3.4% over Fiscal Year 2026, and $564,737 from Everett Community Television (ECTV), a decrease of 3% from Fiscal Year 2026. Van Campen concluded, “This budget reflects our shared values. Together we are a stronger, more transparent and more resilient Everett.” A pie chart in the presentation designated 47% of the budget as school costs, 25% as fixed costs, for which a percentage is hard to calculate, and public safety, 15%. Subtracting the school budget leaves $166.9 million on the municipal side, with 41% designated as being related to personnel and 40% in personnel costs, mainly salaries. Revenue is calculated at $364.7 million, an increase of $13.8 million, or 3.8%, over Fiscal Year 2026; $146 million of that is from property taxes, an increase of $12.1 million, or 9.1%, over Fiscal Year 2026. Following the meeting, Van Campen reflected that putting together a budget as mayor is different than scrutinizing one as a city councillor. “It’s a very BUDGET | SEE PAGE 23 SPEECH by Mayor Van Campen “Dear Residents of Everett and Honorable Members of the City Council, “I am proud to submit the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 operating budget for the City of Everett. This budget is grounded in responsibility, transparency, and a clear belief in Everett’s future. It reflects the work we must do today to stabilize our finances, strengthen the basic operations of city government, and make careful investments that will help build a stronger and more resilient community in the years ahead. “When I took office, I made a commitment to take a hard look at the City’s finances, restore trust in government, and ensure that every dollar is spent in a way that benefits the residents, families, workers, and businesses of Everett. This budget reflects that commitment. It recognizes that we are operating in an unpredictable financial environment, where the cost of health insurance, utilities, labor agreements, infrastructure, and essential services continues to rise. “It also recognizes that responsible government cannot simply react to those pressures year after year. We must begin to manage them with greater discipline, clearer accountability, and a longer view. The proposed FY27 budget makes that shift. It does not promise that every challenge can be solved in a single year - but it does begin the work of putting the City on a more stable path. We are strengthening financial oversight, improving accounting practices, creating and enforcing policies that protect taxpayers from unnecessary liabilities, and reviewing longstanding practices that are out of pace with the best interests of the City. “These steps are not always visible, but they are essential to building a government that residents can trust. “This budget also makes important investments in the services residents rely on every day. It supports public safety, public works, schools, water and sewer infrastructure, neighborhood services, and the basic operating systems that allow the City to function. It continues to support Everett’s students and families while recognizing the very real cost pressures facing the City as a whole. It also makes targeted investments in the functions that will help Everett manage growth and complexity more effectively, including stronger financial management, procurement, legal support, planning, transportation, facilities, and community engagement. “Just as important, this budget begins to better align responsibility with resources. Utility costs are being placed with the department responsible for facilities. Budget capacity is being elevated under the City’s financial management structure. The prior DEI function is being restructured into a Mayor’s Office of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement, with a focus on increasing impact, strengthening existing partnerships, creating new ones, and improving the City’s connection to all of Everett’s communities. “These are investments in capacity, but they are also investments in trust. A city budget should do more than fund departments – it should reflect its residents and the values of their government. It should reflect how decisions are being made, and whether we are preparing responsibly for the future. In FY27, our focus is on stabilizing the foundation, improving accountability, and making the City better able to deliver for residents not only this year, but in the years to come. There is more work ahead. We will need continued discipline, honest conversations, and partnership with the City Council, School Committee, employees, residents, and community stakeholders and this budget moves Everett in the right direction. It is a budget for the present, built with the future in mind.”

Page 24 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 22, 2026 Beacon Hill Roll Call Volume 51 - Report No. 20 May 11-15, 2026 By Bob Katzen T HE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ votes on roll calls from recent sessions. There were no roll calls in the House or the Senate last week. All three roll calls are on amendments to the Senate version of the PROTECT Act that supporters said would establish statewide standards governing interactions between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement. Opponents of the bill said they voted against the measure for a number of reasons including because of a provision that prohibits local and state law enforcement from working with federal law enforcement to apprehend dangerous felons accused of committing violent crimes. The House has already approved its own version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will eventually hammer out a compromise version.

Amendment supporters said that the amendment would ensure that this money stays with the sheriff s and the Department of Corrections which performed their duties and generated the federal funds rather than being unfairly diverted to nonprofi ts for a wholly diff erent purpose. “I voted ‘No’ because taxpayer reimbursement funds should remain focused on core state priorities rather than being automatically redirected to outside nonprofit organizations,” said Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “This amendment improves accountability and gives lawmakers greater fl exibility in allocating public funds.” Amendment opponents said the money would be put to good use by nonprofits to increase access to legal representation for immigrants and refugees who cannot become legal immigrants because they don’t have the money necessary to go through the lengthy and expensive process to do so.

The amendment would allow more criminal offenses to be considered. Amendment supporters said the amendment is a fair one that would broaden the provision and make it apply to all criminal offenses.

Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). ”This amendment adds an important verification safeguard to ensure public resources are used as intended and with transparency.” Amendment opponents said this would unfairly take away the ability for nonprofits to represent people who are lawfully here in the country but can’t afford to pay a private lawyer to help ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ NOTICE OF MORTGAGEE’S SALE OF REAL ESTATE By virtue and in execution of the Power of Sale contained in a certain mortgage given by 126 Central Ave LLC, to Raymond C.

STUDY THE DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY REVENUE (H 5160) – Another proposal before the Revenue Committee would create a special commission to examine and study the distribution of Lottery revenues to cities and towns.

Kristin Kassner (D-Hamilton). “After passing home rule petitions in two of our towns to expand access to senior property tax deferral, we learned that if seniors take the deferral, they no longer qualify for the Senior Circuit Breaker discount on their state taxes.

AG CAMPBELL ANNOUNCES $7.8 MILLION SETTLEMENT — MassaBUYER2 SELLER1 Kelly, Doreen Marnet, Ann Thuong Phan, Nuong Ai chusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell announced a $7.8 million settlement with American First Finance (AFF) resolving allegations that the company used unfair and deceptive business practices to mislead consumers with expensive lease-to-own contracts. The settlement requires AFF to pay $2 million to the state which will then distribute it to impacted customers as restitution. The settlement also includes nearly $5.8 million in credits to existing consumer accounts. “Consumers making significant purchases deserve to be presented with clear, straightforward payment options,” said Campbell. “When companies mislead buyers and profit off the confusion they create, that violates our consumer protection laws and unfairly puts our residents at risk. My office will continue to hold companies that take advantage of consumers accountable, especially when they target our most vulnerable communities.” 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.
