Low-income Massachusetts families with school-aged children will be eligible to receive financial assistance to buy groceries, bringing more than $70 million in federal funds to the state’s economy. State Senator Sal DiDomenico, as an anti-hunger champion and Co-Chair of the Food System Caucus, has advocated for programs like this and is thrilled to see its implementation by Governor Maura Healey’s administration. Senator DiDomenico celebrated the announcement of this program: “I am thrilled to see the Healey-Driscoll Administration support Summer EBT. This program builds on the successes of past food programs I have fought for, like Universal School Meals, and will help reduce child hunger during summer break. I look forward to seeing the immense benefi ts this program will bring to countless children and families across Massachusetts.” “In Massachusetts, we are not leaving federal dollars on the table that could support children and families’ food security. In partnership with our State Legislature, we made universal free school meals permanent.

He said he felt that a new High School should be built and the current High School converted to a Middle School, which he called a two-school solution. “Using the old High School (548 Broadway) and Pope John (888 Broadway) won’t address overcrowding issues long term,” he said in regard to ideas one or the other or both could be used as a working school. The long-term plan is to build a new High School, complete with a vocational program, and convert the current High School into a Middle School, but the funding, approval and building process could take years, if it happens at all. A new building won’t be cheap. The current cost to build a new Northeast Metro Regional Vocational School in Wakefi eld is $314.4 million. Wakefi eld is building its own new High School, without a vocational component, at a cost of $273 million, including $60 million from the MSBA, about 21% of the cost.

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 14, 2024 First-year EHS baseball coach Malik Love foresees better days ahead after finishing up 2024 with much success Senior captain Alex Lara chosen Everett’s lone GBL all-star representative; Tide also earns league sportsmanship award By Joe McConnell E verett High School baseball head coach Malik Love recently wrapped up his first year in charge of the program. The Crimson Tide started slowly, but as the season went on, they started to come together to secure a 7-13 record, including winning their last three games to end the season with success. They hope it’s just the beginning for a much better 2025 campaign. “It was a phenomenal way to end the season after battling so much adversity early on as a team trying to get used to a new coaching staff,” said Love. “Hopefully, after winning our last three games, we can carry over that momentum into next year.” But before Love flips the calendar to 2025, he still had some unfinished business to complete on this year’s club. Senior captain Alex Lara was the team’s lone Greater Boston League (GBL) all-star representative. Love said of Lara: “(he) showed a tremendous amount of leadership, especially during the off season, when he taught younger players the fundamentals of the game. During the season, he didn’t allow our record to affect him. He still showed up for every practice and game, always leading by example, and hopefully that will rub off on the players coming back next year. “After his walk-off single to left against Greater Lawrence on Senior Day, he showed a lot of emotion, because he realized that his high school career was coming to an end, and baseball was the only sport he played at the high school. He showed his teammates that it’s OK to play with emotion in a positive way,” added Love. The Greater Boston League (GBL) coaches also awarded the Tide with the team sportsmanship award. “They knew we were in a lot of close games, and that our players brought energy and enthusiasm to remain competitive in them,” said Love. Lara was also recognized by Love during the team’s breakup banquet at Anthony’s in Malden, along with his senior classmates and teammates Justin Longmore and Rico Vega. They each received trophies as a show of appreciation for their efforts in the program throughout their scholastic careers. This year’s roster was made up of primarily sophomores and juniors, and that makes Love optimistic for next season. “The returning players already know our expectations as a coaching staff,” said Love, “and with that said we can get down to business right away.” His first order of business is to find a way to keep prospective baseball players in the Everett school system. “When I was the program’s JV coach last year, I know I lost four eighth graders that were on my roster to area private schools,” Love said. “This year’s eighth grade baseball players have to realize that they will reap the rewards if we can keep more of the city’s athletic talent like themselves around during their high school years.” Love promises that he and his staff will continue to teach the fundamentals of baseball to go along with showing the players the proper amount of discipline and teamwork. His ultimate goal is to get them ready to play college baseball. Love is also an assistant varsity football coach at the school. He works with the wide receivers, tight ends and running backs for coach Justin Flores’ squad. His commitment to the Everett High School athlete does not end at the conclusion of the spring season. He runs One Love Performance, a camp for all Everett football and baseball players from the youth sports level to high school. Parents may reach out to him on his One Love Performance Instagram account for more information. GBL | SEE PAGE 19

Cameraless photos are created by manipulating light, radiation and/or chemicals to leave an impression on photo-sensitive paper. During the workshop, Professor DeRito taught the EHS students how to create “cyanotypes” by laying an object on paper coated with a solution of iron salts, exposing it to UV light and washing it with water to create striking white and blue images. Following the workshop, Professor DeRito and the students critiqued the work. The day was capped with a catered lunch. The Everett Public Schools thanks Monserrat for hosting two “Studio Days” specifically for EHS students during the 2023-2024 school year. honor of displaying and discussing their work at the Massachusetts Applied Learning Showcase at the TRACK at new balance on Friday, May 10. Nearly 1,000 students and 400 industry partners gathered to celebrate innovative work and creative ideas. Everett’s students discussed their team projects with STEM professionals and received real-world, applicable feedback. Three groups from Dr. Anna Seiders’ Engineering Design and Development capstone course presented their senior projects. A fourth group, students in Dr. Seiders’ Principles of Engineering and Civil Engineering and Architecture class, also participated. Highlights included: • Seniors Kirtsy Hall and Gurkiran Kaur presented their capstone project. The pair developed a solution to reduce micropipette tip waste, a problem they fi rst thought about in an EHS biotechnology class. Their invention was modeled on a salad spinner that included a part made with a 3D printer; the device holds micropipette tips, which are cleaned by a spinning device and bleach solution. • Seniors Nilabhro Pal, Emerson Pineda Chacon and Fausto remote-control and electric-powered cars and promote their racing teams. “ These students have worked so hard over the past several weeks and been so resilient,” said Dr. Anna Seiders, who co-advises the STEM Club with Dr. Christopher Backlund. “What they have accomplished in a short time, other teams spend years doing.” The competition featured teams from around the country and as far away as China. Both of Everett’s two teams fi nished in the Top 10 overall standings. EHS finished fi rst in the Graphic Design category and second in Robotics.

In response, they developed a window screen that uses activated carbon to help reduce the air particles passing through a window. This, in turn, decreases exposure to harmful PM2.5 particles. • Sophomores Gabriel Flores and Josue Lara showcased the robot they made during a Project Lead The Way Principles of Engineering course. Participating students were tasked with creating a robot to compete against other robots in tugof-war. Gabriel and Josue’s robot has proven tough to beat, as it pulls approximately 20 Newtons and can drag a heavy backpack across the ground.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 14, 2024 Page 19 Everett’s Mike Sainristil signs first pro contract with the Washington Commanders IRS Criminal Investigation Division T Mike Sainristil, former Everett High School Super Bowl champion and University of Michigan national champion, is competing in a recent rookies practice at the Washington Commanders practice facility. The Commanders took Sainristil in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft, 50th overall selection. (Courtesy photo / Washington Commanders website) T he Washington Commanders have officially signed former Michigan defensive back and second-round pick Mike Sainristil of Everett to his rookie contract. Sainristil got his college career started as a wide receiver. During his first three seasons at Michigan, he featured in 33 games as a wideout, and then in 2022 he made the position switch that would eventually see him get his name called tonight in Detroit. In his final two seasons for the Wolverines, team captain Sainristil emerged as a reliable cornerback presence and was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten Conference. He built on that success during his final campaign in Ann Arbor. Starting in all 15 games during Michigan’s run to the CFP NaGBL | FROM PAGE 10 Love simply wants to see his Tide baseball program return to glory, showing that winning consistency just like its football counterpart. “I expect to not just get into the states next year, but to win a few postseason games, as well,” said Love. If hard work means anything, that will certainly be the case sooner rather than later. As the spring season concludes, here are the Everett GBL all-stars in all sports: Girls lacrosse: Amanda Verteiro and Victoria Rodrigues; Softball: Emilia Maria Babcock, Bryanna Mason, Peyton Warren, Emma Longmore and Gianna Masucci was chosen league MVP; Baseball: tional Championship, he was tied for third in the FBS for six interceptions (two returned for TDs). Sainristil wrapped up his collegiate career with a natty, a Second Team All-Big Ten Conference nod and First-Team All-America honors. “Reliable and tough with the athleticism and upside to keep getting better as a nickel corner,” wrote NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. “Sainristil is a former receiver who plays with surprising field awareness and attention to detail as a zone defender.” It wasn’t a secret that the Commanders would be looking for cornerbacks going into this draft. In recent years, the team has seriously struggled with giving up explosive plays. The position right now is a little bit of a mixed bag. Washington’s best cornerTide GBL spring all-stars for 2024 back by the numbers last season was Kendall Fuller, and he is now with the Dolphins. Three free agent corners were added over the last month and a half, and former Charger Michael Davis is the only one with significant starting experience. As for the returning cornerbacks, 2023 first-rounder Emmanuel Forbes and fourth-year pro Benjamin St-Juste were the only ones to start more than five games last season. So, it makes sense to invest in and bolster the position by taking a lockdown corner like Sainristil. Joe Whitt Jr. has been loud and clear about the aggressive defense he wants to run, and the Michigan cornerback seems to be someone up for the task.

Claiming losses on lottery tickets that don’t exist, point-of-sale systems that delete a certain amount of revenue from being reported, the filing of false tax returns, claiming of fraudulent fuel tax credits, employee retention tax credits, paycheck protection plan forgivable loan applications, cryptocurrency crimes, narcotics trafficking, unreported income, underreported income, fictitious expense deductions, etc. The IRS allocated $38million in fiscal year 2022 in order to pay to whistleblowers. The IRS compensated whistleblowers between 15% to 30% of the amount of tax dollars recovered by the IRS, which amounted to over $143miilion paid to whistleblowers. Since 2007, the IRS has paid a whopping $1.1billion to whistleblowers. 71 percent of all claims filed by whistleblowers were denied. A Whistleblower would file Form D-3949-A with the IRS, (Tax Fraud and Identity Theft Information Report). The IRS is now using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to assist in its data gathering activities. The IRS will be able to increase its data gathering activities exponentially with the use of AI in order to more efficiently review tax-related data in order to detect income tax fraud and other types of crimes.

Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. “By putting billions of capital resources towards constructing new homes and towards rehabilitating our aging public housing infrastructure, we will be making a diff erence to the thousands of residents who live in these facilities. The policies also contained in this legislation will help incentive housing production, increase affordability options for residents and help alleviate the pressure on the housing inventory as a whole.” “[This] is the largest housing investment in state history and meets the moment for our state’s housing landscape and people struggling with housing availability,” said Rep. Jim Arciero (D-Westford), House Chair of the Housing Committee. “Massachusetts is amidst a housing crisis that has affected every corner of our state, from renters to homeowners to fi rst-time homebuyers purchasing their fi rst home looking to set down roots for their family. This comprehensive bill provides tools in the toolbox for our communities including investments in state infrastructure to accommodate the need to replenish our housing stock and build deeply affordable to market rate housing.

The website advocating for TOPA explains that the program would allow cities and towns the local option of providing tenants in multi-family buildings the right to match a third-party off er when their homes are being sold. Tenants can designate their rights to a non-profi t or local housing authority, or partner with an aff ordable housing purchaser. “TOPA hurts small property owners,” said DeCoste. “It will lead to more rental properties being sold to large out of state property holding companies because small property owners cannot overcome the timing obstacles.” The 11 representatives who did not respond to our requests are: Reps.

No age restrictions can be applied and the district must be suitable for families with children. “My amendment would waive the MBTA Communities Act for towns and cities that have met their 40B affordable housing threshold,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica). “Unfortunately, the majority party defeated the amendment as they don’t care about the negative impact that thousands of new housing units will have on suburban communities’ infrastructure, education systems and public safety personnel.” Rep. Jim Arciero (D-Westford) said the amendment goes against the spirit of taking up this law for housing production. He noted that the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities has been diligently working throughout the state and thus far over 70 communities are in compliance, another 50 have submitted plans for review, while 11 have been rejected.

Any appeal would have to be based on at least one of the following criteria: the community’s inability to meet the drinking water supply or wastewater requirements necessary to support the housing units authorized by the law’s zoning provisions; the inability of municipal transportation infrastructure to safely accommodate the increased population attributable to this housing development; any adverse environmental impacts attributable to the development of housing units under this act; and any adverse impacts on historic properties. “This amendment would have provided communities with some flexibility in dealing with the MBTA Communities Act by offering an appeals process based on a narrowly defined set of criteria that reflect legitimate concerns about the law,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This was a very modest request to assist communities impacted by this law.

A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No COUNT MOBILE HOMES (H 4070) House 29-127, rejected an amendment that would allow cities and towns to count mobile homes as homes that count toward the Chapter 40B law that enables local Zoning Boards of Appeals to approve affordable housing developments under flexible rules if at least 20 percent to 25 percent of the units have long-term affordability restrictions. “Mobile home parks should be considered affordable housing units under 40B and allow a community which has them to use those units towards their ten percent affordable housing stock the state expects them to reach, exceed or maintain,” said Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn). “Most mobile home parks were originally built as affordable housing units for those returning from World War II. They are affordable to buy and live in and therefore they should count as such.,” Rep. Jim Arciero (D-Westford) said the amendment is an attempt to bypass the 40B law and allow cities and towns a way to circumvent the requirement for providing affordable housing in their community. He said attempts to avoid production of affordable housing statewide, as this amendment seeks to do, are counter to the intent of the 40B laws. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.

Under current law, candidates are prohibited from using campaign funds for their personal use. The state’s Offi ce of Campaign and Political Finance has classifi ed childcare, while performing campaign duties, as a personal expense rather than a campaign expense. “Too many women, people of color and other parents have struggled to run for offi ce while being the caretakers for their family, trying to balance caregiving with campaigning,” said co-sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “For many, this was too big a hurdle and they never ran. I would have never been able to run a successful campaign without the help of my friend who volunteered to take care of my young children for free. This bill will allow more women and people of color to run for offi ce.” “Prospective legislators with children should not have to choose between their families and public service,” said co-sponsor Rep Joan Meschino (D-Hull). “This bill helps break down the economic barrier of childcare and opens new doors to make the path to elected offi ce more accessible. The committee’s favorable report is exciting.” “Our campaign fi nance laws are organized around the concept of spending that enhances a candidate’s political future,” said Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge). “Allowing childcare as a campaign expense fi ts well within that framework because ensuring access to childcare will enable a broader group of people, particularly women and parents in working families, to more fully participate in the political process.” FUNDING FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (S 2806) – The Senate approved a $1.24 billion bond bill to invest in information technology (IT) upgrades, improvements and new projects across state government. The House has already approved a different version of the bill and a House-Senate conference committee will likely try to hammer out a compromise version. Provisions include $750 million to improve service delivery to the public; $200 million for technology and telecommunications infrastructure improvements and maintenance; $200 million to support the security of the state’s IT Infrastructure; and $25 million for AI projects. “Today the Senate is investing in a safer, more effi cient and modernized digital experience for residents and state employees alike,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Our technology infrastructure is a lynchpin for nearly every service and resource our state delivers, and enhancing it is a fundamental step to increase access and create systems that work for everyone.” “I’m pleased the Senate has City of Everett Conservation Commission Everett City Hall, Room 25 484 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Carlo DeMaria Mayor LEGAL NOTICE The Everett Conservation Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 7 PM pursuant to the Wetlands Protection Act, M.G.L. 131 c40.

There Are Alternatives Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any easier alternatives to a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer? I just turned 60 and my wife keeps nagging me to get tested, but I hate the idea of drinking that laxative solution and being sedated for the procedure. Squeamish Steven Dear Steven, While a colonoscopy remains the most accurate screening test for detecting colon cancer (94 percent accurate), there are other easier – although less accurate – tests available. But be aware that if the result of one of these tests are positive, you’ll still need to undergo a colonoscopy. Here’s what you should know. Screening Guidelines Colorectal cancer, which develops slowly over several years without causing symptoms especially in the early stages, is the second largest cancer killer in the U.S., claiming more than 50,000 Americans each year. Colorectal cancer screening guidelines from the U.S. preventive Services Taskforce and the American Cancer Society call for most adults to get screened starting at age 45 and continuing through age 75. Earlier screenings, however, are recommended to people who have an increased risk due to family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, or a personal history of infl ammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. But despite these guidelines, and the fact that colonoscopies save an estimated 20,000 U.S. lives each year, around 40 percent of eligible people don’t get screened. Why? Because most people, like yourself, dread the laxative prep and sedation, not to mention the procedure itself. But a colonoscopy is not your only option for screening for colon cancer. There are currently several types of FDA approved stool tests that you can take in the privacy of your own home that requires no laxative-taking/ bowel-cleansing preparation. The two most accurate that you should ask your doctor about are the: Fecal immunochemical test (FIT): This test looks for hidden blood in your stool, which suggests polyps or even cancer. Your doctor will give you a FIT test kit to use at home. You take a small sample of stool and mail it to a lab to be analyzed. You don’t need to do any prep. The cost of this annual test is covered by private insurance and Medicare. FIT has an almost 80 percent accuracy rate for detecting colon cancer, but it detects only about 28 percent of advanced polyps that might turn into cancer. Stool DNA test (Cologuard): This screening kit looks for hidden blood as well as altered DNA in your stool. Your doctor will order the test, and you will receive the collection kit in the mail. You do the test at home every three years and send your stool samples to Cologuard via UPS. No special prep or change to your diet or medication schedule is required. Cologuard, which is covered by most private insurers and Medicare, detects 92 percent of colon cancers but only 42 percent of large precancerous polyps. It also may provide a false-positive, indicating that you might have cancer when you don’t. New Blood Test There’s also a new experimental colon cancer blood test you should ask your doctor about called the “Shield blood test.” This new test, developed by Guardant Health, detects more than 80 percent of colon cancers early when they’re most treatable. Guardant is currently seeking FDA approval to market the test but it’s available now as a “lab-based test” (which does not require FDA approval) but it’s currently not covered by most private insurers or Medicare. Your doctor will need to request this test, which costs $895, at BloodBasedScreening.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

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 June 3-7, the House met for a total of 10 hours and 52 minutes and the Senate met for a total of four hours and nine minutes. Mon. June 3 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Senate 11:18 a.m. to 1:01 p.m. Tues. June 4 No House session No Senate session Wed. June 5 House 11:01 a.m. to9:27 p.m. No Senate session Thurs.
