Do said the first lesson is to be comfortable with one’s own identity and personality. “Just be yourself and accept yourself,” she said during the June 12 commencement ceremony at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium. Do said job satisfaction was the second lesson she learned from watching SpongeBob since she was eight years old. “Passionately and genuinely, love what you do,” she said, adding that in the cartoon, SpongeBob loves his job as a fry cook despite making only five cents a day. “Be like SpongeBob.” Speaking about her own career aspirations, Do said she wants to become a doctor one day to “have the opportunity to help people.” She also said she is not any different than anyone else in the Class of 2019. “There’s nothing I know that you don’t know,” she said. During her keynote address, Interim Superintendent of Schools Janice Gauthier spoke about how she attended a small private high school and struggled academically. “I did not do well on my SATs and I did not get into a four-year college,” she said. However, Gauthier said, she never gave up on her dream of becoming a teacher.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, June 14, 2019 Page 3 Emotional send-off for Pope John XXIII HS alumni and staff A By Tara Vocino lumni of Pope John XXIII High School shared fond memories of their days as students during last Thursday’s send-off. Despite an enthusiastic fundraising campaign, it was recently determined that the school does not have sufficient finances to open in the fall. In his somber May 30 letter to parents, Head of School Carl DiMaiti said International Residence Management (IRM), which had been the funding arm for the school’s 43 international students, “failed to meet the obligations of its agreement.” DiMaiti also said that IRM had declared bankruptcy in October 2018 and subsequently ceased operations. As they looked at their yearbook, Darlene Marcin-Bowdridge ’81 and Debbie Bennett-Petruzzella ’81 said they shared memories at Pope John that they didn’t find anywhere else. Although Bennett-Petruzzella didn’t want to attend school there originally, she met her best friends there and hosted her bridal shower there in ’86. Her daughter, Tiffany, attended preschool there. “It’s a very sad sentimental day,” Marcin-Bowdridge said. By doing so, the company burdened Pope John with a deficit of more than $1 million. Brian Vocino ’96, who transferred to Pope John from another school district, said some of his best childhood memories were made at the school and that it was an emotional day. “It’s very surreal, but I’m glad I came,” Vocino said.

Retired theology teacher Larry Greco said he is very proud to have been associated with the school. “The school brought love to the community,” Greco said. “I’m glad that we can get together again, but wish it was under different circumstances.” Greco said the high school stayed true to its mission and that it was an extremely sad day.

During his presentation, Chief Financial Officer Eric Demos recommended two BMW motorcycles for the Police Department. Although the police have used Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the past, Demos said, the BMW models are easier to maintain and come with better warranties. Demos said the $50,000 needed for the purchase would come out of the CIP Stabilization Fund. Speaking about the improvements to the Commercial Triangle, Gregory St. Louis, executive director of Public Works & Engineering, said there are plans to install “five or six” pipes under Spring Street to reduce flooding from the Island End River. In addition, St. Louis said the City Council has allocated $650,000 to dredge the northern canal; however, dredging is also needed for the southern canal.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, June 14, 2019 Page 9 Tide softball team ends season with loss to Woburn in tourney opener By Joe Mitchell T he Everett High School softball team unfortunately had a short stay in this year’s Division 1 North state tournament, when they lost to host Woburn last Friday, June 7, in a preliminary round game, 9-2. The Tide was the 19th seed after finishing up the regular season in the Northeastern Conference with a 12-8 record, while Woburn (13-7) – out of the competitive Middlesex League – was seeded 14th. Celeste Fuccillo turned in a complete game, six-inning effort in the circle, allowing 13 hits, two walks and eight earned runs. She whiffed two. The game started pretty well for the Everett girls. They scored twice in the top half of the first inning to take the early lead. Maddy Duraes began the game with a single, and Veronica Bento followed with a double before Duraes scored on a fielder’s choice by Maddy Smith. Ariana Garay then singled home Bento to account for the second tally, and as it turned out, Everett’s last run of the season. Woburn wasted little time to tie up the proceedings with two runs of its own in the home half of the first. They scored four more times in the second to take the Crimson Tide baseball team wraps up this season with a tourney berth Despite opening round loss to Chelmsford, Everett improves behind junior all-star catcher By Joe Mitchell C oach Joe Lento’s Everett Crimson Tide baseball team just managed to squeak into the Division 1 North state tournament with a 10-10 record.

Once there, the Tide had to take on host Chelmsford (13-7), the fourth seed, in a firstround game last Friday, June 7, and the results weren’t pretty to the tune of 16-1. Chelmsford did win one more game against Malden Catholic in the North quarterfinals, 5-2, before losing to Lincoln-Sudbury by the narrowest of margins in the North Final Four, 5-4.

But in the North quarterfinals, the Mustangs were blanked by Central Catholic, 9-0, on June 10. “We got the bat on the ball, but just hit it directly to the Woburn fielders most of the time,” said Everett coach Stacy Poste-Schiavo. “We had our ups and downs this season, but overall I’m still proud of all their accomplishments, both on and off the field.” The Tide should be just as good, if not better next year, when they begin play in the new Greater Boston League, because they are losing only one starter. “We can definitely pick up where we left off this year,” said Poste. Kaylee Nearen is the lone Everett representative on the Northeastern Conference North Division all-star team.

In addition, St. Louis said Chapter 90 money allows the city to pursue funding from the Federal Transportation Improvement Program. He said that by doing so, the city could move forward with larger-scale projects such as those currently proposed for Ferry and Elm Streets. Gov. Charlie Baker also highlighted the importance of Chapter 90. “Chapter 90 funding provides cities and towns with critical resources to carry out important projects like highway construction and road paving to improve local infrastructure in communities across Massachusetts,” he said. “We thank the Legislature for working with our administration to pass this bill and continue our support for local officials this construction season.” Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack called attention to the report filed by the Governor’s Commission on the Future of Transportation in the Commonwealth. “Transportation needs, challenges and solutions vary across the state, so it is appropriate that communities have Chapter 90 funds to use on their specific priorities,” she said. “That is also why the Administration’s additional transportation funding programs are so vital, such as the Municipal Small Bridge Program, Complete Streets Funding Program and Safe Routes to School.” For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@ advocatenews.net A.B.C.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, June 14, 2019 Page 17 OBITUARIES Joseph P. DiMaria 63, of Derry, NH and native of Everett, passed away on June 5, unexpectedly due to recently developed heart complications. Joe was born on October 5, 1955 to the late Josephine (Polcari) and Peter DiMaria of Everett. He graduated from Everett High School in 1973 before becoming an electrician in the City of Everett’s wire department. He transitioned to a project technician in Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) micro technology lab where he worked for 22 years. He then moved along to Axsun Technologies and Luminous Technologies as a senior engineering technician, worked a brief stint alongside his son Peter at NETR Inc., and then Airex Filter Corporation before retiring. Bored with idle time and nothing else to organize or fix at home, Joe came out of retirement and thoroughly enjoyed working with coworkers and customers in the garden department at Walmart in Derry, NH, imparting years of green-thumbed wisdom. Joe was a fun-loving prankster and the king of dad jokes, known to go out of his way to crack a smile or a laugh at every opportunity. He was an avid fish fanatic since childhood, curating and building marine tanks that received recognition from the New England Aquarium. He was a natural born drummer, creating recognizable beats any chance he could at home and with his bandmates in several bands throughout his life. He was the unofficial engineer, carpenter, and handyman of his family, friends, and neighbors, creating brilliant solutions to common problems, and could always be counted on for out-ofthe-box ideas. He will be dearly missed by his son Peter DiMaria and his wife Alyssa, son Nicholas DiMaria and his wife Kristina, and daughter Laura DiMaria and her partner Ashley Mayerjak. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister Diane Restaino and her husband Bobby, niece Gina Marian and her husband Matt, late nephew Victor Restaino II, first wife Nancy (Colameta) Hardin, second wife Anna LaRocca, stepdaughter Lola Farra and her husband Robert, and stepdaughter Elena Ferdinand and her husband Bob. He’ll fondly look over his gr andch i ldren , whom he adored, Marcella and Mattea DiMaria, Anna and Alex Farra, and Alivia Ferdinand, and his greatnephew Joey Marian and greatniece Mattea Marian. He is also survived by many fun and loving cousins, extended family, friends, and coworkers. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association in loving memory of Joe DiMaria. • Burials • Cremations • Pre-Arrangements • Serving the Greater Boston and North Shore regions for over 250 years!

Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, June 14, 2019 EXERCISE OF POWERS OF APPOINTMENT “COMPLETE GLASS SERVICE CENTER” Storefronts & Entrance Doors O ften times, an individual may wish to have the right to control the ultimate distribution of a Trust. This is called a power of appointment. Powers of appointment are often included in Trust documents in order to create greater flexibility in a multigenerational estate plan. As an example, a husband may die leaving property in Trust for the benefit of his spouse. The terms of the Trust may provide that, upon the death of the surviving spouse, the remaining Trust principal will be distributed to the husband’s children. The terms of the Trust may also contain a power of appointment provision wherein the surviving spouse has the right to exercise this power of appointment via her Last Will and Testament thereby allowing her to redirect the ultimate distribution to only one child of the husband as opposed to all of his children and/ or the right to determine whether or not the Trust principal will be received outright or in further Trust. Another example would be if a daughter was named a lifetime income beneficiary of her parent’s living Trust. This Trust might contain a power of appointment provision allowing the daughter to exercise it via her Last Will and Testament. A specific provision must be included in her Will in order to exercise the power of appointment thereby appointing (distributing) the Trust principal to her spouse, her children, or even a charity. As part of the estate planning process, it is important to ascertain whether someone holds any such power of appointment as contained in a living trust (revocable or irrevocable) and, if so, to make sure that the power of appointment is exercised via the Last Will and Testament, if that person’s wish is to indeed exercise the power, or to at least confirm with the holder of the power that he or she does not wish to exercise the power. A power that may be exercised via one’s Last Will and Testament is referred to as a testamentary power of appointment. The holder of the power is also called the donee of the power or the power holder. The exercise of the power of appointment would occur once the Will is submitted to a probate court and allowed.

Page 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, June 14, 2019 Savvy Senior Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good websites for finding cheaper travel accommodations? My husband and I love to travel but hotel costs eat up our budget so much that we can’t afford to go as often as we’d like. We’ve used Airbnb with some luck but are wondering if there are other options for budget-conscious retirees. Retired Travelers Dear Retired, Accommodations are typically one of the costliest travel expenses. But, if you’re willing to do a little research and preplanning, there are a number of ways you can lower (or eliminate) your lodging costs and live more like a local when you travel. Here are some different options to consider and some websites that can help you locate them. B&B Clubs If you like staying in bed and breakfasts and have a spare bedroom yourself, check out the Evergreen Club (EvergreenClub.com) and the Affordable Travel Club (AffordableTravelClub.net). These are B&B clubs for travelers over ages 50 or 40 that offer affordable lodging in the spare bedroom of other club members, or they may stay with you when they’re on the road. You pay a modest gratuity of around $20 per night, with breakfast. And the clubs charge membership fees of $65 to $75 per year. Lower Cost Rentals There are literally millions of privately-owned properties in the United States and abroad that are offered as short-term rentals. This has become a very popular alternative to hotels for retirees. Renting a fully furnished apartment or house is usually cheaper than hoThrifty Travel: How Retirees Can Find Cheap Travel Accommodations tel rooms of comparable quality, and they almost always offer more space, a homier feel and a kitchen, which can save you the expense eating out every meal. Short-term rentals are offered through the individual property owners or property-management companies. Some of the best sites for finding them include Airbnb.com, HomeAway.com and FlipKey.com. These sites are free to use for travelers. Another nifty site you should check out is The Freebird Club (FreebirdClub.com) that connects 50-plus travelers with 50-plus hosts. Unlike Airbnb and the other previously listed lodging rental sites, Freebird users pay a $31 fee to join and to have their identities verified. They then fill out a questionnaire asking where they’d like to travel and how much interaction they’d like to have with their hosts. On the other end, hosts are not offering rental properties and a key in a drop box, but their own homes, along with conversation and companionship, for much less than the price of a hotel. House Sitting If you have a flexible schedule and you don’t mind doing a few household chores when you travel, house sitting is another option that offers lodging for free. How it works is you live in someone else’s home while they’re away for a long weekend or even a few months. And in exchange for the free accommodations, you take care of certain responsibilities such as their pets, lawn, garden, mail, etc. To find these opportunities, try sites like Nomador.com, MindMyHouse. com, HouseCarers.com and TrustedHousesitters.com – they all charge a small membership fee. Home Swapping Another way to get free accommodations when you travel is by swapping homes with someone who’s interested in visiting the area where you live. To make a swap, you’ll need to join an online home exchange service where you can list your home and get access to thousands of other listings. Then you simply email the owners of houses or apartments you’re interested in – or they email you – and you make arrangements. Most home exchange sites like HomeExchange.com, HomeLink. org and Intervac-HomeExchange. com charge membership fees ranging from $50 to $150. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
