Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 DiDomenico, a Longtime Early Ed Champion, Votes to Pass Transformational Bill to Expand Access to Affordable Early Education and Child Care Senate bill would support children and families, early education providers, and the early education workforce B OSTON – Last week, Senator Sal DiDomenico joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts State Senate to unanimously pass S.2973 An Act to expand access to high-quality, aff ordable early education and care. This bipartisan legislation will transform early education and childcare in the Commonwealth by making it more accessible and aff ordable for families, providing high-quality care for young children, strengthening early education providers, improving compensation and professional development for the early education workforce, and addressing the workforce needs of Massachusetts employers. The bill draws from the recommendations made by the Special Legislative Early Education and Care Economic Review Commission, which was created by the legislature in 2020 and issued its fi nal report in March 2022. “This issue has been a top priority of mine for many years, and I am thrilled to pass this transformative piece of legislation alongside my Senate colleagues,” said Senator DiDomenico, Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate and a member of the Special Legislative Early Education and Care Economic Review Commission. “As a father of two children, I know that aff ordable and quality early education and care is indispensable for families and their economic security.

Just as importantly, these investments will provide support to childcare providers and ensure people working in this fi eld can earn a living wage, acquire higher education, and support their own families. I want to thank Senate President Karen Spilka for making this a priority and Chair Jason Lewis and Chair Michael Rodrigues for all their work to bring this important issue to the Senate fl oor.” “Just as the Senate led on transforming the Commonwealth’s K-12 education system through the Student Opportunity Act, today’s bill would similarly transform the early education system,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Unfortunately, high-quality early education remains out of reach for most Massachusetts families, and our providers struggle to keep their doors open. This bill will address those issues and make our Commonwealth stronger by making early education more aff ordable, investing in our early educators, and ensuring the sustainability of our providers. I want to thank Senator Lewis and the members of the Special Legislative Early Education and Care Economic Review Commission for their extensive work on this bill, as well as for the work of Chair Rodrigues and the many, many advocates and stakeholders that got us to today.” Senator DiDomenico has been a champion for early education and care expansion since he fi rst took offi ce 12 years ago. In 2013, DiDomenico played a pivotal role in creating an Early Education and Out of School Time (EEOST) capital fund that provided $45M in loans and grants to early learning centers and outof-school-time programs serving low-income families. Recently, during the onset of the pandemic, Senator DiDomenico secured $10 Million for COVID-19 Preparedness and Stabilization Grants to provide critical support to Massachusetts afterschool and out-of-school time programs. Throughout the past two years, DiDomenico served on the Special Legislative Early Education and Care Economic Review Commission and worked with colleagues to create a blueprint for the investments Massachusetts needs to make in the care economy. The Senator worked tirelessly to push this massive early education and childcare bill across the fi nish line and will continue to fi ght for even more investments in the years to come. High-quality early education helps young children to develop stronger communication, social, and cognitive skills. Investments in early education have been shown to yield considerable long-term benefi ts, such as higher academic achievement and greater lifetime earnings. Many families in Massachusetts, however, lack access to high-quality, DIDOMENICO | SEE PAGE 12 OUR OFFICE HAS MOVED TO 519 BROADWAY, EVERETT SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: Rocco Longo, Owner WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner!

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 Page 5 Rep. McGonagle, Mass. House pass bill supporting veterans’ services, military families O n July 7, Rep. Joe McGonagle, along with his colleagues in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, passed comprehensive legislation (H.4978) addressing the Commonwealth’s most immediate needs in the veteran community. The bill makes updates to service member quality-of-life issues and acknowledgements of military branches and individual service, including supporting military families who relocate to the Commonwealth with expedited licensure and school enrollment, creating education awareness programs and establishing the Massachusetts Medal of Fidelity. The House passed An Act relative to military spouse-licensure portability, education and enrollment of dependents (H.4978), 154-0, after the Massachusetts Senate passed a similar version of the bill. Now the bill moves back to the Senate for further consideration. “After our veterans have given so much to us, it is imperative that we take care of them Joseph McGonagle State Representative and their families,” said McGonagle. “Military families make many sacrifi ces so if we can repay them in anyway, we must. Many of these new practices are really simple and just make sense, but have been overlooked for years. As the son of a Lieutenant Colonel, I understand much of this fi rsthand and am grateful we have the opportunity to push the wellbeing of our veterans and their loved ones forward. I am especially grateful to Speaker Mariano and Chair McMurtry for their advocacy on this issue.” “Our veterans represent the best and bravest among us, and are deserving of unwavering support from those in public offi ce,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “While we can never truly repay those who have served this country, the legislation passed today is another example of the House’s commitment to ensuring that veterans in Massachusetts, and their families, have access to the services and educational opportunities that they deserve. I want to thank Chairman Paul McMurtry, as well as all my colleagues in the House, for their hard work, and for prioritizing the well-being and success of the Commonwealth’s veterans.” Some highlights of the legislation: Military spouse-licensure portability: requires the Division of Occupational Licensure, the Department of Public Health and the MassachuMCGONAGLE | SEE PAGE 10
Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 City Council votes 7-3 to reappoint controversial City Clerk Cornelio to a five-year term By Tara Vocino T he City Council members voted 7-3 to reappoint City Clerk Sergio Cornelio to a five-year term during Monday’s Special Meeting at City Hall. Originally scheduled to be held in executive session, the decision came after a 7-3 vote to go back to the City Council floor. If they had voted the motion down, City Clerk Sergio Cornelio could have applied for the position again in a job posting. The three-term City Clerk commented on the favorable motion to the Everett Advocate after the vote. “I’m feeling a lot of emotions right now, but mostly, I’m ecstatic to continue my service to the community,” Cornelio said. During the meeting, Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked what a neutral and impartial City Clerk (regarding a controversial paternity leave attempt last June) looked like to him. “Paternity leave doesn’t exist, and to me, that’s state fraud, and the money should be returned to taxpayers,” Martins said, adding that working from home hasn’t been authorized. Attorney John Tocci, Esq., representing Cornelio, suggested that the questions that councillors asked were out of context, and declined to answer those.

Tocci noted Cornelio wanted bonding time with his children. “He used his accrued, unused time,” Tocci said. “If he wanted more time, he was allowed to get it, but it would be unpaid.” Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese said they’ve never not reappointed a City Clerk since 1996, suggesting to leave the politics out of it. Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky, who voted for Joetta Yutkins five years ago, said Cornelio has done a great job. Matewsky advised Cornelio to be a little less political. “The city is divided over this,” Matewsky said. “I think you’d be better off if you had less activity politically and socially.” Ward 6 Councillor Al Lattanzi said residents voted to approve a new charter, which removed lifetime tenure from the city clerk’s position. “If we did post this job, I’d like to see what’s out there,” Lattanzani said. Councillor-at-Large Richard Delli Isola asked why Cornelio serves on the Election Commission, requesting him to step down from the Commission. Cornelio responded that he requested three times not Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked what it looks like to have an impartial and neutral City Clerk.

Cornelio said he just wanted to do his job and go forward, adding that tension wasn’t anyone’s intention. “I love being here,” Cornelio said. “My family has been in Everett for 100+ years, and I intend to stay here.” Approximately 10 residents spoke in favor of reappointing CORNELIO | SEE PAGE 7
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 Page 7 CORNELIO | FROM PAGE 6 Cornelio during public participation. “He’s always been respectful and professional when I’ve spoken to him,” resident Bill Thompson said. “Do the right thing for a ‘yes’ vote if you think he deserves it – he needs six ‘yes’ votes.” But contrary to Cornelio’s supporters, the controversial city clerk is embroiled in a defamation lawsuit with Mayor Carlo DeMaria, who is suing him for alleged statements that he made prior to the 2021 election to Everett Leader Herald journalist/publisher/editor Joshua Resnek, who is currently testifying in ongoing depositions for the lawsuit. In Resnek’s deposition statements – currently being published in the Everett Advocate – Resnek admits to meeting with Cornelio, Cornelio’s parents and Boston Globe reporter Andrea Estes for two hours at a Malden restaurant after Mayor DeMaria’s lawsuit was fi led. Resnek claimed, in two stories and editorials leading up to the 2021 primary and general election, that Cornelio said that the mayor was extorting him, among other allegations, into paying the mayor $96,000 for a Corey Street land deal. Resnek admitted during depositions that his quotes from Cornelio were fabricated and he never asked for any information for his claims against the mayor. During Cornelio’s deposition it was discovered that the city clerk attempted to take a leave of absence from his job on a paternity leave during the birth of his child, attempting to write out a City Council docIn his acceptance speech, City Clerk Sergio Cornelio thanked his family members and supporters who advocated for a fi veyear reappointment.

Another issue that arose was Cornelio’s attempt to circumvent the City Council by trying to pass a Home Rule petition to the state legislature for lifetime tenure as city clerk. The city charter does not allow for lifetime tenure for the city clerk’s position. Following the City Council’s vote, Cornelio’s mother, Margaret, said she and her husband, Antonio, are happy with the results. “A lot of people have come to me telling me how much he helped them,” Margaret Cornelio said. “He’s the most genuine, hardworking guy around.” (Editor’s Note: James Mitchell contributed to the story.) 2.55 CD The k se you like to see.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 Metro Mayors urge MBTA to restore service levels, financial commitment T he Metropolitan Mayors Coalition has advocated for a fully funded, safe, reliable, frequent, and accessible transportation system since the Coalition was founded in 2001. The MBTA is a lifeline for our residents, providing access to jobs, school, shopping, recreation, and services. Bolstering use of transit is also a key element of the Commonwealth’s plans to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. When service is reduced, so is our entire region’s quality of life, as residents are forced to make compromises that only serve to hurt our economy, the environment, or both. Given these priorities, we urge swift action to restore the MBTA’s service levels, along with a longer-term financial commitment so that we can usher in a strong and equitable recovery for our residents and our region. Many of the residents who rely on the T are the same people that we lauded as “essential workers” during the height of the pandemic. A well-functioning and safe MBTA is what allowed them to get to work and is a critical component of a strong recovery. Now, the MBTA is cutting service to address critical safety issues, many of which were originally cited in the 2019 report of the Safety Review Panel established by the Fiscal Management and Control Board (FMCB). This Coalition, in the summer of 2020, encouraged the T to implement some of these changes during the pandemic when ridership was lower. Financial resources are necessary to implement a myriad of safety recommendations, including those recommendations that will be forthcoming from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). We urge the Legislature and Governor Baker to invest substantial dollars from the state’s current budgetary surplus to allow the MBTA to address all significant safety concerns and to restore service at the earliest possible date. We hope the Legislature passes additional funds for MBTA safety upgrades in the Transportation Bond Bill currently before it. In addition to these funds, we urgently need a long-term sustainable funding source to continue uninterrupted service in the years ahead. This Coalition has always called for additional investments in MBTA operations, maintenance, and repair, to ensure that transit-dependent and low-income residents can access the T without serious financial burden. We are committed to working with the T to take steps to protect low-income riders by creating a means-tested fare program. Cutting service hurts all of us, but especially the communities that were most impacted by the pandemic. Furthermore, increasingly crowded trains constitute an additional safety issue that puts our residents at risk. We cannot afford to fail our communities again. The Metropolitan Mayors Coalition is a group of cities and towns in the urban core of Metro Boston whose leaders gather to exchange information and create solutions for common problems. The municipal officials in this group represent more than 1.4 million residents in the cities and towns of Arlington, Boston, Braintree, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Newton, Quincy, Revere, Somerville, and Winthrop.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 Page 9 Strength from within Leveraging Everett expertise for EPS students E (Editor’s Note: This info is from a press release sent by the Supt.’s Office for the Everett Public Schools.) verett Public Schools (EPS) Superintendent Priya Tahiliani is pleased to announce several administrative appointments as the district continues its ongoing and accelerating preparations for the 2022-2023 school year. “I am excited about these changes, individually and collectively,” Superintendent Tahiliani said. “We are leveraging the tremendous talent we have within the EPS and in the community to bolster eff ectiveness and effi ciency across several major areas of the district. It makes me all the more excited about the upcoming school year and the continued gains we are poised to make.” Superintendent Tahiliani announced these administrative appointments: • After serving as Principal of the Devens School since its opening in 2013, Dr. Brian Wallace, a longtime and respected leader in the EPS, has accepted the position of EPS Director of Social and Emotional Learning. “Dr. Wallace’s deep and varied experience is an ideal fi t for the EPS, as we continue the critical work of embedding social and emotional learning into classrooms and curriculum,” Superintendent Tahiliani said. • Dr. Brittany Puleo will succeed Dr. Wallace as Principal of the Devens School. She served as Assistant Principal at the Devens in 2021-2022, and she has been a member of the Devens team since the school opened in 2013. After serving as a teacher from 2013-2016, Dr. Puleo transitioned to the position of Educational Team Leader, a role that enabled her to form close connections with parents and outside agencies to better support students. • A new leadership team has been appointed at Everett High School (EHS). Dennis Lynch, a veteran EPS educator, will serve as the new EHS Principal. He served as Principal at the Albert N. Parlin School for the past two years and has been an EPS educator and administrator for 12 years. Longtime EPS educators Stanley Chamblain and James Murphy have been named as EHS Assistant Principals. All three educators previously served at EHS. Prior to becoming the Parlin School Principal, Lynch was a teacher and a Dean of Students. Chamblain is a former guidance counselor and the current head coach of the Crimson Tide boys’ basketball team. Murphy, a versatile and experienced educator, served as the EHS Data Director, overseeing the school’s student management/scheduling system. Collectively, the trio has extensive experience across all major departments and aspects of the daily operation of EHS. • Nancy Sutera will be the principal of the Parlin School, and she will be hiring two assistant principals to join her leadership team. Sutera has a long track record of success as a teacher, mentor and building leader. During more than two decades in the EPS, Sutera has served as a math teacher, an instructional facilitator, a department head and an assistant principal at the Parlin and Whittier Schools. “Her skillset makes her ideally suited to serve as the principal of one of our K-8 schools,” said Superintendent Tahiliani. • Lauren O’Connor has been hired as the district’s fi rst-ever Director of Security. O’Connor, an EHS graduate and Everett resident, most recently was Encore Boston Harbor’s Assistant Director of Security Administration and Emergency Management. She will oversee safety and security policies, procedures and protocols at the district level, while working out of EHS. O’Connor will help develop clear and consistent safety procedures, either by leveraging existing systems or by implementing new practices and protocols. She will review and upgrade policies, oversee security technology and plan training, among other responsibilities. The Superin t enden t stressed that the addition of O’Connor will directly address one of the School Committee’s top priorities: Safety, particularly at EHS. “This topic was addressed regularly during last school year, both during School Committee sessions and in conversations I had with students, staff , and parents,” the Superintendent said. “It is my responsibility to act on those concerns, not only in the moment but for the long haul.” “I am genuinely excited to have these talented individuals in place now, so they can fully immerse themselves in preparing for our reopening in September,” Superintendent Tahiliani said.
Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 Resident Researchers to Center Community Voices in Creating Solutions to Rising Heat and Displacement A RLINGTON, MA — The Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) and Everett Community Growers (ECG) were awarded an Environment Justice grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 to study residents’ experience with extreme heat and develop resident-led solutions in Everett. “The pandemic has laid bare the limitations of programs and policies that respond to Everett residents’ basic needs, such as food and housing, during emergencies,” said Kathleen O’Brien, Operations Manager at the Everett Community Growers. “Climate change is known to be a threat multiplier, most heavily impacting environmental justice communities — like Everett. At the same time, traditional strategies to mitigate climate change impacts, such as ‘green development’ may exacerbate social inequities and increase gentrification. Through this project, we will learn from residents about how best to protect our community from the hotter summers and heat islands we are experiencing. By engaging residents in workshops and activities aimed at understanding the connections between these issues and building power to organize for solutions, we hope to ensure that those historically left out of decision-making processes are at the forefront of climate resilience planning and implementation.” The project team will: 1) Examine policies, plans and programs that were activated during the pandemic via municipal and community-based organizations in Everett through participatory research; 2) Identify if these strategies are adaptable or improved upon for long-term climate resilience, with a particular focus on extreme heat, housing, and food insecurity; 3) Determine resident-led policy, systems and environmental change (PSE) strategies to combat extreme heat, housing and food insecurity. The research will be led by resident researchers using a participatory action research (PAR) model, which is grounded in the idea that the people who are most impacted by a problem are in the best position to understand and solve that problem. This means that research on the health impacts of climate change should be led by the people in the communities experiencing that change. Thus, our assessment will 1 focus on residents’ lived experiences and expertise and will be a collaboration with the One Everett coalition. “Though many entities are laying the groundwork for climate resilience planning and implementation, those most impacted are often not prioritized or involved in planning or implementation.

Page 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 ~ Mitch @ The Movies ~ The Best Movies of 2022 (So Far) Everything Everywhere All At Once You know a film is special when it qualifies as the year’s best comedy, action movie, and heartfelt drama. Directing duo, The Daniels have made the multiverse movie to end all multiverse movies with Everything Everywhere All At Once, which stars Michelle Yeoh as a downtrodden laundromat owner suddenly thrust into a battle for the fate of the universe. It’s a family story about embracing one’s heritage while appreciating the uniqueness of future generations. It also has wicked kung-fu sequences, talking rocks, and people with hot-dogs for fingers. Wild, weird, irreverent, and touching; if you see one movie from 2022, make it this one. X Writer / director Ti West returned after a substantial hiatus to make what might just be the best horror movie of this young decade. Like the most efficient slashers, X bears a simple premise: a group of twenty-somethings rent out a cabin to film an adult movie in the 1970s and naturally much bloodshed ensues. While X has plenty of the expected thrills and kills packed into its runtime, it’s also the rare slasher with some genuine ideas on its mind about the end of the free-wheeling ‘70s and the rise of Reagan-era moralism. Think Boogie Nights meets Friday the 13th, and you’ll understand why X is sure to go down as one of the year’s finest horror experiences. Top Gun: Maverick Say what you will about Tom Cruise the man, but Tom Cruise the actor still knows how to make a satisfying blockbuster better than just about anyone else in Hollywood. Top Gun: Maverick makes the high-octane aerial sequences of the original seem like flying on a discount airline. This is big-screen spectacle of the highest order, an awe-inspiring mix of practical fighter-jet action and satisfying storytelling. The fact that it works as well as it does — 36 years after the first one — feels like a miracle. Cha Cha Real Smooth Cooper Raiff is the triple-threat talent who’s the writer, director, and star of this year’s Sundance smash Cha Cha Real Smooth. In some ways, Raiff’s film is the typical Sundance dramedy: a directionless young man, fresh out of college, strikes up a hopeless romance with an older woman. It’s a premise movie that have been hitting on since The Graduate, but luckily Raiff has a voice all his own. Funny and tender, Cha Cha Real Smooth coasts on charm just like its lead character, but it’s surprisingly critical of his naivete as well. Those in their 30s and up will likely find themselves laughing and cringing in recognition at this endearing coming-of-age story. Ambulance After spending the majority of the last 15 years in Transformers purgatory, director Michael Bay has made his best (and most insane) movie in almost 20 years. The trailers for Ambulance promised a rather generic heist thriller filtered through Bay’s orange-and-teal color palette, but make no mistake: this is peak Bayhem, up there with the director’s best. This is an adrenaline junkie’s dream with an unhinged lead performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, comically bloody shootouts, and stunning drone camera work that captures all the hyper-violent hijinks with exhilarating glee. Those with high blood pressure need not apply, but fans of The Rock and Bad Boys will feel right at home.

DIDOMENICO | FROM PAGE 2 affordable early education. This impacts the ability of parents, especially working mothers, to enter or remain in the workforce. The financial strain of childcare on families is a contributing factor to workforce shortages and threatens to hamper the state’s economic recovery. The Senate bill would improve access to high-quality and affordable care for Massachusetts families in several ways. The bill would: • Increase subsidy eligibility over time from the current level of 50% of state median income ($65,626 annual household income for a family of four) to 125% of state median income ($164,065 annual household income for a family of four) • Make it easier for subsidized providers to offer scholarships or discounted tuition for their private pay families • Require the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) to evaluate and eliminate barriers to subsidy access for families on an annual basis • Require parent fees for subsidized families to be affordable and updated at least every five years • Require EEC to assess the extent of the current supply of licensed childcare availability across the state and the unmet needs of families Even though childcare is expensive for families in Massachusetts, early education and childcare providers are themselves in crisis. Given the low wages and poor benefits that providers can afford to pay their staff, providers face chronic challenges with attracting and retaining early educators, almost all of whom are women and many of whom are women of color. Federal pandemic relief funding has been a lifeline for the early education and care sector, but these funds are one-time. This Senate legislation will help stabilize providers, improve program quality, and expand capacity in several ways. The bill: • Makes permanent the operational grants to providers that were first distributed during the pandemic and requires that a provider must be willing to enroll subsidized children in order to qualify for a grant • Requires EEC to use an actual cost-of-quality-care methodology for setting subsidy reimbursement rates and calculating operational grants • Requires EEC to reimburse subsidized providers based on quarterly enrollment rather than daily attendance of children • Takes steps to strengthen the recruitment and pipeline of early educators DIDOMENICO | SEE PAGE 20
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 How to Plan a Backyard Vacation Page 13 Need to stay near home this summer? Enjoy a staycation in your yard! Y our backyard, always a great for your health and well-being, can do even more for families this summer by being a place to hold a staycation. With the pandemic keeping more people closer to home, a backyard vacation can be a fun way to spend time together and build new memories as a family while spending time in green space. How do you excite your family about a backyard vacay and plan a fun time? Here are a few tips to help from the TurfMutt environmental education and stewardship program. Make a backyard staycation plan. Put together a gentle schedule with a mixture of activities that your family will enjoy like dining, camping and games. Add a theme for the week, day or evening. A luau theme can be carried through with costumes, food and activities. A sports theme can have everyone in team jerseys and doing sports activities. Use creative names for meals and activities to spice things up. Even you don’t have a pool, children’s water play misters or sprinklers can help everyone cool off in the backyard (provided your area is not under drought conditions). Map where activities will occur in the yard. A lawn area may be the site of a soccer game, bocce ball or croquet, but it can also double as an overnight camping zone for the kids in a family tent. The fi re pit can be used for roasting hot dogs for lunch or s’mores at night. Time for crafts, potting plants, and eating can happen at a picnic or dining table. Assess what you have and consider their creative uses. Lounge chairs, sports and play equipment can be used for their original purposes, but they can also become part of an amazing obstacle course. The wheelbarrow used for gardening and yard work can become part of a family fi eld day. The playset your children adore can become a breakfast spot or reading area. Spruce up your yard. Mow the lawn and trim the bushes. Tidy overgrown areas. Add flowering plants and rearrange planters for visual appeal. Put delicate flowers in pots and out of the way of foot traffi c. Now may be the time to add a picnic table, a badminton net or croquet course, planters, patio, grill, fi re pit, or pergola to your backyard. Organize for fun. Identify zones for diff erent activities. Dining, lounging and reading may be best in shady spots. Sports, family yard games and tossing a ball to your dog may be better on a lawn that can handle rough and tumble play. Hammocks, lawn chairs, swings, picnic blankets and air mattresses can all provide a place for people to sit down and cool off . Include teachings about backyard wildlife and nature.

As far as the paper is concerned, Mr. DeMaria is the news?” Robbins asked again. “Yes, sir,” confirmed Resnek. Robbins then asked Resnek how many times he emailed or texted Philbin over the last five years regarding potential stories about DeMaria; Resnek said at least a couple of hundred times, but not just about the mayor. The attorney then stated that he and Philbin hadn’t produced a single email between the two and only a single day of texts. Resnek claimed he didn’t know that and didn’t conduct a search of emails between himself and Philbin relating to DeMaria in connection with the lawsuit. Resnek then stated that some forensic people working for his attorney had taken 26,000 emails from his computer.

Notes that aren’t notes Robbins’ questioning returned back to Resnek’s notebook that contained his notes about the 2020 Corey St. property deal between DeMaria and Sergio Cornelio – making changes two or three times and still writing the wrong information after he learned he was being sued in Oct. 2021. “But you wrote down dates for things that were supposedly said to you that were completely incorrect, right? asked Robbins. “They proved to be incorrect, yes,” stated the Leader Herald’s journalist. Resnek was then asked about quotes in his notebook, such as “September delivery, September 2nd , 11:30,” which would be his claim of when he met City Clerk Cornelio outside his City Hall office while delivering papers, which he admitted he wrote in his notebook after he was sued. “Ethics filing doubtful”, “I was broke at end” and “Sergio, he wants my job” were other examples of notes that Resnek admitted weren’t originally in the notebook but were written after being sued. “So now we know that it’s not just dates that you went back in and changed, but it’s actually substantive material that you wrote – went back and wrote in after the lawsuit was filed, correct?” Resnek answered, “Yes, sir,” then admitted that his information, such as the Sept. 11 date, was actually false. In previous testimony, Resnek claimed that the quotes were attributed to Matthew Philbin, but he has since recanted his statement, saying they were not “exact quotes” by his boss, calling the quotes “sum and substance” statements made by Philbin and all his witnesses collectively. Robbins asked Resnek if the and/ quotes were from Cornelio given to Philbin; Resnek stated they were and were written by him but then admitted that there weren’t any notes of any quotes from Cornelio that he had stated in previous testimony. “They’re not exact quotes given to me by Mr. Philbin,” statQuestions and ed Resnek. “And they’re not quotes that Mr. Cornelio gave you either?” asked Robbins. “That is correct,” replied Resnek. On a search through the pages of the notebook, Resnek – along with Robbins and Resnek’s Attorney, Bernie Guekguezian – is shown notes that Frederick Cafasso Chairman Everett Planning Board July 15, 22, 2022 he admits, again, were written after the lawsuit was filed. Robbins then asked Resnek if he knew that his notes used in preparation of his articles were going to be used as evidence in the lawsuit; he said he did. Resnek then admitted the evidence he was turning over to counsel for the lawsuit contained notes he created after the lawsuit was filed against him. Unaware of the truth “You knew in 2020 that Mr. DeMaria and Mr. Cornelio were jointly involved in the Corey St. property, correct?” asked Robbins. “No, I didn’t,” responded Resnek. Resnek said that he wasn’t aware of the property deal until August or September of 2021. Robbins then showed Resnek Exhibit 28 with, an article written by Resnek in June 2020 with the headline “The mayor is doing a deal with a city official” - The mayor’s Blue Suit. Asked if it was an article written by him 15 months before he wrote the Sept. 2021 articles that are at the center of the lawsuit about the DeMaria/Cornelio joint venture on Corey Street, Resnek declared, “It’s from The Blue Suit.” “Okay, so if it’s from a Martian, you’re writing this entire article about the Corey Street project that Mr. DeMaria and Mr. Cornelio had gone into together; you’re writing about it in June of 2020, correct?” asked the attorney. “Yes, it is,” replied the reporter. Resnek stated that he only had anecdotal information about the Corey Street property deal, claiming that it was a fictional piece, but Robbins walked Resnek through his article which discloses facts about the property deal. Again, Resnek admitted to knowing all the facts about the property deal back in June 2020, disputing his previous testimony under oath. “So beginning no later than June of 2020, you had the information about the fact that Mr. DeMaria and Mr. Cornelio RESNEK | SEE PAGE 15 LEGAL NOTICE CITY OF EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on an application by Greystar East Development, LLC Property located at: 1690 Revere Beach Parkway In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 41, Sections 81K-81GG and the City of Everett Planning Board Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land, the Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, August 1, 2022 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider the above-listed application for approval of a Definitive Subdivision Plan.

In other cities this would be considered a conflict of interest. The kind you go to jail for.’ That’s what you write here,” asked Robbins about the article. “Yes, sir,” replied Resnek. Robbins pointed out that he (Resnek) had between June 2020 and Sept. 2021 to check with the City Clerk’s Office and the State Ethics Commission on their opinion if DeMaria had made a disclosure of interest in the Corey Street property, or to contact the Everett Co-operative Bank or the second mortgage lender or any of the contractors regarding the property deal, to which Resnek admitted he did. But again Resnek claimed he didn’t know that DeMaria and Cornelio were partners in the land deal before Sept. 2021, then he admitted he had over a year to investigate the claims and interview Cornelio about the property deal but failed to do so. Robbins then asked Resnek if he had made any notes pertaining to any conversations with anyone about the property deal prior to Sept. 2021 – but only notes created after he was sued, to which Resnek admitted was true. “And if I understand it, what happened is you created notes after the lawsuit was filed, then you read the notes that you had created and you went back two or three times to modify the notes that you had created, correct? “Yes, sir,” replied Resnek. The attorney then provided Exhibit 29, an article written by Resnek about the mayor, but this time written in May 2020 about DeMaria’s property deal.

Resnek then attempted to dismiss his stories riddled with allegations as “the stuff of dreams,” claiming they were all made up. Robbins asked Resnek if he discussed with Philbin the content of the Sept. 2021 stories that accused DeMaria of extortion, theft and threatening Cornelio’s life leading up to the primary election; Resnek said he did, as well as with DeMaria’s primary opponents former Councillor Fred Capone and Gerly Adrian. “I communicated every day with them,” said Resnek. “You communicated with Mr. Capone every day?” asked Robbins. “Yes, sir,” stated Resnek, saying they spoke about the mayoral campaign.

BERNARD Date of Death: 04/17/2022 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A petition for Formal Probate of Will with Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by: Meredith A. Bernard of Chelsea, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition. The Petitioner requests that: Meredith A. Bernard of Chelsea, MA be appointed as Personal Representative(s) of said estate to serve Without Surety on the bond in unsupervised administration. IMPORTANT NOTICE You have the right to obtain a copy of the Petition from the Petitioner or at the Court. You have a right to object to this proceeding. To do so, you or your attorney must file a written appearance and objection at this Court before: 10:00 a.m. on the return day of 08/05/2022. This is NOT a hearing date, but a deadline by which you must file a written appearance and objection if you object to this proceeding. If you fail to file a timely written appearance and objection followed by an affidavit of objections within thirty (30) days of the return day, action may be taken without further notice to you. UNSUPERVISED ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE MASSACHUSETTS UNIFORM PROBATE CODE (MUPC) A Personal Representative appointed under the MUPC in an unsupervised administration is not required to file an inventory or annual accounts with the Court. Persons interested in the estate are entitled to notice regarding the administration directly from the Personal Representative and may petition the Court in any matter relating to the estate, including the distribution of assets and expenses of administration. WITNESS, Hon. Maureen H. Monks, First Justice of this Court. Date: July 08, 2022 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE July 15, 2022 Creditor Claims Against The Probate Estate enerally, a creditor of a Massachusetts decedent has one year from the date of death to file a claim against the decedent’s estate. In years past, the time period within which to file a claim commenced when the Personal Representative was actually appointed by the Probate Court. Under the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code (MUPC), which was effective on March 31, 2012, creditors now have one year from the date of death to file a claim against the estate. The purpose of the one year from the date of death provision is to promote the quick settlement of estates by allowing the Personal Representative of the estate to pay claims and to make distributions after one year from the date of death without the risk of being held accountable to a creditor. It is not enough for the creditor to simply provide notice of the claim to the Personal Representative, or even to just file a Notice of Claim in the probate court. MUPC Section 3-803(a) provides that, before the one- year period expires, the creditor must bring an action against the Personal Representative in the appropriate court, serve the Personal Representative with process by in hand delivery, and file a Notice of Claim with the Probate Court setting forth the creditor’s information and the amount of the claim. It often occurs that there is no estate to be probated or, even if there is a probate estate, the proceedings do not commence until after one year from the date of death. In this case, the creditor is out of luck and any subsequent claim would be barred. If a creditor is aware of the decedent’s death and the probate process has not commenced, the creditor has the right to City of Everett Conservation Commission Everett City Hall, Room 25 484 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 Carlo DeMaria Mayor LEGAL NOTICE In accordance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 131 Section 40) the Everett Conservation Commission will hold a Public Hearing on July 21, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. to consider a Notice of Intent filed by Prolerized New England Company, LLC, 69 Rover Street, Everett, Massachusetts, 02149. Applicant: Michael Jones (Telephone number 781-873-1522), Representative Charlie Roberts, Childs Engineering, 34 William Way, Bellingham, MA 02019 (Telephone number 508-966-9096). The proposed project at Prolerized New England in Everett is to upgrade the capacity of the existing dock in order to accept a higher capacity crane. The Notice of Intent states that the work will be done in two phases: (1) will include removal and disposal of the existing crane which is in poor condition. A new concrete port will enable the work water in the new crane to safely work. Phase 2 will improve the operation of the crane The Notice of Intent Application prepared by Childs Engineering is very detailed.

In this situation, the creditor would be aware that probate assets do indeed exist and that the dollar amount of the claim justifies the expenses to be incurred. The MUPC puts the onus on the creditor to learn of the decedent’s death and to take action accordingly before the statute expires. It should not be too difficult for the creditor to follow-up when no payments on the debt have been made. Furthermore, with today’s easy access to the internet, a quick google search of the debtor’s name and address would provide the date of death of the decedent. It is important for Personal Representatives to be aware of this one-year statute before final estate distributions are made. Joseph D.

Resnek stated that he had never seen the letter before today, despite a copy being in the City Clerk’s Offi ce that is available to the public. As in previous testimony, Resnek admitted he never bothered to investigate or make any attempts to retrieve any public information regarding the land deal between the DeMaria and Cornelio. When asked if there was a practice between him and his employer to review his stories before they were sent to press, Resnek replied, “From time to time.” “In Sept. of 2021, Mr. Philbin certainly knew that you were writing articles and editorials about Mr. DeMaria, correct? “Yes, of course,” replied Resnek. “And he made it pretty clear” – “Mr. Philbin wanted Mr. DeMaria defeated, correct? “Yes, sir,” replied the reporter. On Exhibit 33, a Sept. 8, 2021, article, “The $96,000 disgrace,” Resnek admitted to accusing the mayor in the article of threatening and demanding money from Cornelio; abusing his position, his authority and his power as mayor; and engaging in unethical and illegal conduct. Resnek, in the same article, admitted to recommending the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office to review the Corey Street matter – as well as a review by the State Ethics Commission. “You made no eff ort to ascertain whether it’s true or false, correct? asked Robbins about the State Ethics Commission approval. - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI22P3671EA Estate of: JUDE TOUSSAINT, JR.

Forever in Our Hearts and Prayers. Your Loving Family represent the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute Board of Trustees at Mrs. Reagan’s Forever stamp first-day-of-issue program. To honor her in this way on what would have been her 101st birthday is a way for Americans to remember her lasting legacy of service.” Nancy Davis Reagan (19212016), wife of the 40th president, was First Lady from 1981 to 1989 and most trusted advisor and champion to her husband. Throughout her life, Reagan held a deep passion for her country, championing many causes along the way. Chief among these were the Foster Grandparents Program; assistance to Vietnam veterans and the plight of POWs and MIAs; drug and alcohol abuse prevention among youth; breast cancer awareness; and Alzheimer’s research. As First Lady, she worked hand in hand with her husband, both at home and abroad, and advocated for issues on the national and international stage. Reagan’s partnership with her husband and devotion to his success, behind-the-scenes influence and her legacy of public service made her one of the most significant first ladies in modern times. The Nancy Reagan stamp art is a detail from the official 1987 White House portrait by Aaron Shikler — the fullbody portrait was cropped to accommodate the stamp format. The oil-on-canvas portrait features Reagan dressed in a flowing gown, in her signature red color. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp. The Nancy Reagan Forever stamp is being issued in panes of 20. News of the stamp will be shared with the hashtag #NancyReaganStamp. A feature story about the stamp will be available at facebook.com/usps following the ceremony. Postal Products Customers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-7377826, by mail through USA Philatelic or at Post Office locations nationwide. Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
