Carlo DeMaria Mayor Ryan last Thursday that would exempt the 43-acre industrial property from a number of environmental requirements for development for the specific purposes of sports, recreation or an events center. The mayor stated that any development would not affect the fishing industry, which is one of the protected industries included in the Chapter 91 law.

You learn about people’s struggles, grief, and resilience.” In “Ecstasy of Pupusas,” Chelsea, the lonely daughter of a wealthy physician, befriends Maria, the family’s housekeeper. The ladies share their dreams and bond over their love of pupusas, but when a horrible incident alters the families’ lives, Maria, an illegal immigrant, is exiled to her home country of El Salvador. “Their love for one another is challenged by a terrible act in Chelsea’s home, and both families are plunged into worlds of pain,” described Rocco. “The book is about healing, love, and forgiveness.” The fictional drama was inspired by a poignant conversation with Rocco’s neighbor, who, in 7th grade, was forced at gunpoint to join the Salvadorian military under the threat ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $4.119 Mid Unleaded $4.459 Super $4.939 Diesel Fuel $4.899 44 Years of Excellence!! 1978-2022 KERO $8.99 DEF $4.75 9 DYED ULS $4.249 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

At the heart of DeMaria’s lawsuit are two editions printed in Sept. 2021, including editorials and “The Blue Suit” columns, which claimed the mayor was breaking the law deDEMARIA | FROM PAGE 1 clean up outdated dirty industrial sites and bring in new industry that will improve our commercial tax base while creating new job opportunities,” said the mayor. “We’ve had a plan in place that was approved by the City Council that promotes this type of smart new growth.” Citing the development of the Encore Boston casino site, which was repurposed from a former chemical plant, the mayor hopes to use the Alford Street parcel for the benefit of the city and its residents. But standing in the way could be some major red tape from the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act Office (MEPA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, which is part of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that solicits public comment before allowing for any development on designated land. According to the Banker & Tradesman article, removal of the port area status for the Alford Street parcel would allow for a wider range of non-marine dependent uses, while exempting it from the state’s regulations for the height and density of waterfront projects. In a recent Boston Globe article, the mayor said that upgrades to public transit will be required to accommodate the Constellation site redevelopment. An economic study commissioned by the City of Everett and completed by Fort Point Associates noted that the area would benefit spite having no evidence to back up their printed allegations. During the deposition, when asked to produce notes or documents as a journalist would, Resnek could only hold up the printed editions of the newspaper as his “notes.” Resnek was asked about his statement made in an article where he claims someone told him that the payment of $86,000 from the Corey Street property deal, a legitimate real estate deal between DeMaria and Sergio Cornelio, could “draw the attention of the US Attorney’s Office and/ or Middlesex County prosecutors.” Resnek admitted that from a stop along the MBTA’s Commuter Rail line which runs through the area. It was also reported that The Davis Companies purchased the 18-acre Boston Market Terminal produce property in December 2019. In June, the firm reportedly reached an agreement to buy the 96-acre ExxonMobil tank farm property and began discussions with city officials about a future mixed-use development that would further enhance the once industrial-owned area. The mayor is confident that the city is properly positioned to proceed with the continued upgrade of south Everett in a way that is consistent with his vision of a living shoreline of walking paths – extending it was a former local attorney, Joseph Marchese, brother of current Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese, who made the statement. Resnek stated he didn’t have any notes to prove it but agreed that he never disclosed to the readers that Marchese, the person who made the statement, was an “arch enemy” of the mayor. When asked if there was any reason a prosecutor would take issue with the mayor’s involvement in the real estate deal, Resnek replied that one would due to the mayor’s lack of transparency.

Having been enacted in both the Senate and the House, the bill now goes to Governor Baker for his signature. The CROWN Act prohibits denial of employment and educational opportunities in places of work, schools, and school-related organizations on account of hair texture or protective hairstyles, such as braids, locks, and twists, used by people by color. Hair-based discrimination has excluded people of color from classrooms and workplaces, with serious academic and economic consequences. “As a long-time supporter and one of the Senate lead sponsors of this legislation, I am thrilled to see the CROWN Act going to the Governor to be signed into law,” said Senator DiDomenico (D-Everett), Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “The CROWN Act will protect people of color from experiencing hair discrimination and ensure we can celebrate all hairstyles.

These rebates are expected to be issued to about two million Massachusetts residents who reported earning between $38,000 and $100,000 for individual filers, and between $38,000 and $150,000 for joint filers in 2021. The one-time rebates will not be subject to the state’s personal income tax. Permanent tax changes The bill that was passed makes significant changes to al or school settings in the Commonwealth. I am grateful to Mya and Deanna Cook, who stood up and fought hard to right this wrong for Black women and girls across the state. Thank you to Senators Gomez, DiDomenico, Rodrigues, Lewis and Edwards, as well as their staff members, for their work on this issue, and to the advocates for their collaboration.” This legislation was inspired in part by two Black teenagers from Malden, Mya and Deanna Cook, who were punished by their school and barred from extracurricular activities for wearing their hair in braids. After gaining national attention and organizing public protests, the school eventually reversed their policy. The CROWN Act will protect Massachusetts children from experiencing this kind of discrimination. The CROWN (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) Coalition has played a crucial role in supporting the passage of this legislation in Massachusetts and in states across the country. Massachusetts will soon join 17 other states that have passed some version of the CROWN Act, which has also been proposed at the federal level. Having passed both branches of the legislature, the bill now goes to the Governor for his review. the Massachusetts tax code to provide structural relief to millions of residents across all income levels. These include: • Increasing the Child and Dependent Care Credit from $180 per child to $310 per child, as well as eliminating the current cap of $360 for two or more children. This is expected to impact over 700,000 families. • Increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) from 30 percent to 40 percent of the federal credit. This is expected to impact about 396,000 taxpayers with incomes under $57,000. • Increasing the Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit from $750 to $1,755.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 22, 2022 DiDomenico Votes to Pass Animal Welfare Legislation B Senate passes bills to prevent inhumane treatment of puppies and kittens, encourage adoption of research animals, and enforce hunting regulations for endangered and threatened species OSTON – Last week, on July 11th , Senator DiDomenico joined his colleagues in the Massachusetts State Senate to pass three bills which promote animal welfare. S.2994 An Act protecting the health and safety of puppies and kittens in cities and towns ensures the safety of puppies and kittens during breeding, sale, and boarding. S.2992 An Act Protecting Research Animals, previously passed by the Senate in 2018 and commonly known as the ‘Beagle Bill’, encourages research facilities that use dogs and cats to offer these animals up for adoption after finishing research, rather than automatically euthanizing them. Finally, S.2993 An Act further regulating the enforcement of illegal hunting practices takes measures to discourage the illegal hunting and sale of game animals, including endangered species. “I am proud to have supported and voted to pass these bills which will improve and protect the lives and well-being of countless animals across Massachusetts” said Senator DiDomenico, Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “Our state’s values are demonstrated by how we treat all members of our society, including our voiceless dogs, cats, and endangered species. I look forward to seeing these animal welfare bills passed into law quickly so we can ensure our animals are safe and treated with respect.” “As a lifelong animal lover and owner, I am acutely aware of the importance of protecting the Commonwealth’s animals, whether in our homes, in kennels and shared facilities, or in nature,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “I am also grateful for the advocates and Senators who worked to get these bills to the Senate floor. Thank you to Senators Chandler and Rodrigues for working to protect the puppies and kittens of the Commonwealth, to Senators Lovely and Tarr for continuing to lead on pushing for the Beagle Bill, and Senator Moore for your work to strengthen poaching regulations.” Protecting Puppies and Kittens An Act protecting the health and safety of puppies and kittens in cities and towns addresses inhumane practices relating to the transfer of pets. As separating puppies and kittens from their mother and litter prior to completion of their eightweek developmental socialization stage prevents them from learning important behaviors such as bite inhibition and the development of proper social relations with other members of their species, this bill prohibits the sale of puppies and kittens under eight weeks of age. To promote continued wellbeing of puppies and kittens in group settings, this legislation tasks the Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) with creating Massachusetts’ first state-wide oversight regulations and licensure requirements of breeders, doggie daycare, and boarding facilities. The bill also ends the sale of animals on roadsides, parking lots, flea markets, or in other public spaces. Beagle Bill According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nationally more than 60,000 dogs, almost all beagles, and nearly 20,000 cats are used each year to advance scientific research and to test cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other household products. Currently, many research labs choose to automatically euthanize these cats and dogs once their experiments are over. An Act Protecting Research Animals, commonly known as the ‘Beagle Bill’, facilitates a relationship between animal research laboratories and registered non-profit animal rescue organizations and requires that when these animals are no longer needed, the research facilities make every effort to place animals up for public adoption. Illegal Hunting Massachusetts is currently experiencing historically unMCGONAGLE | FROM PAGE 7 wide early education and care initiatives, among others. The amendment requires the Massachusetts Lottery to use age verification measures to ensure that any users are over the age of 18. “House leadership’s efforts to create a new sustainable funding source for Early Education through a new online state lottery revenue is not surprising, but rather is indicative of the House’s continued long-term leadership and commitment to the early education field and the children & families we serve,” said Massachusetts Association of Early Education & Care Executive Director William J. Eddy.

An Act further regulating the enforcement of illegal hunting practices aligns Massachusetts poaching regulations with other states, to better protect fish, birds, mammals, and endangered or threatened species. This bill also brings Massachusetts into the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, which helps states to work together to prevent illegal hunting across state lines. Having passed the Senate, An Act protecting the health and safety of puppies and kittens in cities and towns now goes on to the House of Representatives for further consideration. As An Act further regulating the enforcement of illegal hunting practices and An Act Protecting Research Animals have passed both branches of the legislature, a conference committee will be appointed to resolve differences between the bill’s two versions, if any. wealth • $25M to address food insecurity across the Commonwealth • $15M for grants to reproductive rights providers for security, workforce and educational needs • $15M for grants to nonprofits and community-based organizations to address gun violence and gun violence–related trauma Environment • $175M for state parks and recreational facilities upgrades, with $25M for communities of color • $125M for environmental justice communities • $100M for marine port development • $100M for the Clean Water Trust Fund Economic Development • $300M for the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund • $125M for small businesses, with $75M for minority-owned businesses • $50M for broadband investments in underserved communities • $75M in grants to hotels across the Commonwealth that saw financial losses during the pandemic MCGONAGLE | SEE PAGE 15
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 22, 2022 Page 9 New Research Reveals Disparities in Extreme Heat and Air Quality Throughout Mystic River Watershed Negatively impact Health and Vitality of Residents in low-income Communities Key Data Builds on National Research to Inform Community Responses to Rising Summer Temperatures B OSTON, MA (July 20, 2022) – This week, the Museum of Science, Boston, the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA), and the Town of Arlington announced the results of “Wicked Hot Mystic,” a research project that developed detailed heat maps that bring to light how extreme heat impacts neighborhoods differently. In partnership with Resilient Mystic Collaborative communities, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), GreenRoots, and over 80 volunteers, the results of Wicked Hot Mystic will inform future climate resiliency planning and improve equitable outcomes in climate-vulnerable populations along the Mystic River. T he analysis of the data collected during a summer 2021 heat wave by volunteer scientists found direct correlations between air temperature and land use, race, and income within the Mystic River Watershed, the most highly urbanized watershed in New England. Areas with more tree cover, green space, and nearby water were up to ten degrees cooler than those with more pavement and concrete. The resulting heat maps will be available on the MAPC website and mos.org. The hottest neighborhoods were in Chelsea, Somerville, East Boston, Everett, Revere, and Charlestown, and were up to 10 degrees F hotter than the coolest areas in the watershed. Further, the data revealed that the highest modeled air temperature value within the watershed was along Mystic Avenue in Somerville at 97.4 F, with a heat index of 100.7 F. Neighborhood temperatures correlated strongly with historic redlining maps, a racist federal housing policy that excluded predominantly Black, immigrant, and religious minority communities from securing mortgages, reinforcing residential segregation. Nearly a century later, the legacy of this divestment is still clearly visible in Greater Boston. The Wicked Hot Mystic research team found that primarily white neighborhoods have up to 43% tree cover versus just 3% tree cover in BIPOC neighborhoods, which experienced temperatures nearly four degrees hotter at the same time. Extreme heat events and the resulting urban heat island effect are increasingly critical occurrences burdening society to which public health workers respond. Studies show that 911 call volume increases during heat waves. The hotter temperatures can adversely affect people living with respiratory and cardiac illnesses, and people unable to escape the heat. “As summer temperatures get hotter each year, the implementation of resiliency solutions becomes ever more imperative to ensure the equitable health of all communities,” said David Sittenfeld, manager of forums, national collaborations, and current science communication at the Museum of Science. “The Wicked Hot Mystic research, collected by volunteers living in the watershed, will be a powerful tool for cities and towns throughout the Watershed to address the harmful effects of extreme heat and improve the vitality of all neighborhoods.” “When blizzards hit Greater Boston, we’re ready.We know what to do to stay safe, and rarely do people die,” said Melanie Gárate, MyRWA’s climate resilience manager. “We need to become a heat wave culture so that individuals and leaders know what to do to keep communities safe during extreme temperatures.” “Racist federal mortgage policies called “redlining” from nearly a century ago led to lasting segregation and economic disinvestment in communities of color,” said Bianca Bowman, climate justice organizer for GreenRoots. “Public policy led to our BIPOC neighbors being disproportionately in harm’s way, and ongoing racism, disinvestment, and a lack of amenities like trees in these same Environmental Justice communities continue to have a negative impact. Our climate policies and investments need to focus on righting these wrongs as heatwaves increasingly characterKEY DATA | SEE PAGE 10

This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. This honor reflects CHA’s extensive efforts to reduce pregnancy risk, including adoption of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative model and low Cesarean section rates. Newsweek and Statista developed a complex methodology to ensure the quality and validity of the ranking. Three data sources were used for the evaluation: • Nationwide online survey: Hospital managers and healthcare professionals with knowledge about maternity processes (e.g., midwives, neonatal and OB/GYNs) were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the United States • Medical Key Performance Indicators on hospitals with a focus on indicators relevant to maternity care • Results from patient surveys To reduce pregnancy risks, CHA adopted key elements of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative model, which is proven to reduce death during or after childbirth. “It’s more than bringing departments together – it’s about having a toolkit in place that we ~ Weigh Better u ~ Getting Healthy in Everett By Sam Amado Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) is one of Newsweek’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2022.

The victim was so sedated and nonresponsive that she was declared dead by the medical examiner, which, according to Rocco, is unusual, as the victim would normally have been rushed to a hospital and had undergone sophisticated testing. “Around the late 90s-early 2000s, I noticed that I was burying three to four overdoses a year. The siblings and parents were stunned and didn’t know their kids had a drug problem,” remembered Rocco. “They might have had a sports injury or depression, and were put on a drug. Within two months, they were stealing from their parents; within three, they’re dead.” Rocco served for over 40 years as a third-generation funeral director at Salvatore & Sons Funeral Home, in Everett, where he grew up near Encore Boston Harbor casino. He taught at the mortuary school of Saint Ida College, Newton, and was the co-director of its National Center for Death Education from 1992-2018. Rocco has written an educational book for funeral service students about interpersonal skill development and another about conflict resolution in the court system. He is in the process of publishing his third novel, “Mystery of the Mausoleum.” “The Ecstasy of Pupusas” and “The Girl Who Woke Up in the Morgue” can be purchased online at www.Amazon.com and www.BarnesAndNoble.com. Rocco hopes to hold a book signing or reading for seniors in Everett, or a book club. “I think readers will enjoy the character development, good or bad. One of my characters is a narcissist with no sense of empathy. You learn how that person sees the world,” Rocco pointed out. “I think you’re able to see my heroines grow as people.” Rocco and his wife, Lidia, have four children, and three grandchildren.

A prominent marker of success is participation in the MIAA postseason State Tournaments for the various sports. This past Spring Season, more teams, on both the boys’ and girls’ sides, participated in the MIAA State Tournaments than any season in GBL history: 27 league wide! Malden High School and Revere High School were among the league leaders, with 5 teams each in the postseason, along with prominent participants in the track and field individual events. Everett High was close behind with 4 teams in the postseason, along with several boys and girls track participants. When the member school principals and athletic directors came together to reconstituting the Greater Boston League, this was indeed what they had in mind, with the goal of establishing the GBL as the premier urban school league for Athletics and Wellness in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was so important that the “Original Four” of Everett, Malden, Medford and Somerville were able to be joined in a “leap of faith,” first by Revere Public School, then Lynn English, Lynn Classical and finally, Chelsea Public Schools.

Robbins asked Resnek what crime the mayor could have committed with respect to the Corey Street deal. Resnek stated that he was told by Cornelio that the mayor used coercion, retaliation and discrimination – and his power over a lesser person who said that he was broke. Resnek also claimed that DeMaria used pressure when Cornelio had a bleeding ulcer and was sick over the threat of losing his job. Robbins asked the investigative reporter if he had any notes that Cornelio had made any of those claims; once again, he replied that he didn’t. “Isn’t it you who in writing urged Andrea Estes of The Globe to use pressure to extract statements from Mr. Cornelio, somebody who in writing you said you knew suffered from depression and anxiety? Isn’t that you who did that?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” replied Resnek.

Once again, Resnek’s notes returned to the conversation when the attorney asked him when he took notes on the day he claimed he spoke to Cornelio briefly at the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall, and the statements made about the mayor and the Corey Street deal. Resnek previously testified under oath that he didn’t want to use his notebook he carried around in his back pocket while delivering the newspapers that day because he didn’t want to intimidate Cornelio, so he made some notes after he left the office. Resnek now claimed that he made notes from that short interview with Cornelio in the notebook after he left City Hall, but when asked for the notes of the interview, Resnek stated he didn’t have them. He then stated that some of the notes from the interview were in the notebook and also on his computer. Robbins took exception to Resnek’s answers because he had earlier testified under oath that he made his notes in the notebook in question after the articles were published and after he was sued. “Was that what your sworn testimony was?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” replied Resnek.

Frederick Cafasso Chairman Everett Planning Board July 15, 22, 2022 the week before when he described how he had a notebook in his back pocket and was carrying newspapers when he went to the City Clerk’s Office and after speaking to Cornelio, he claimed, he went outside and wrote down some notes. “You went outside and made some notes about the conversation you just had, right?” asked Robbins, asking Resnek about his testimony. “Yes,” he said. “But that’s not true, is it?” asked the attorney. “No, it isn’t,” said Resnek. Robbins continued his questioning, asking Resnek about his previous answers relating to the Cornelio conversation, claiming he didn’t take notes because “he didn’t have to.” And when he was reminded of his answer, Resnek then claimed he had taken notes but didn’t know their whereabouts. And when asked again where the notes were, Resnek pointed to the notebook, stating, “They’re in here.” Robbins then asked him if the statement he made claiming to taking notes after he left Cornelio’s office was false; Resnek admitted to providing inaccurate sworn testimony. When asked if he intentionally didn’t take notes of the conversation with Cornelio “because he didn’t have to,” Resnek then changed his answer, saying it wasn’t true and then pointed to the Sept. 8 Leader Herald newspaper article. When Robbins read the and/ quotes in the article attributed to Cornelio about the Corey Street deal that claims the mayor “wanted a piece of the action” or that he (Cornelio) claimed he was badgered and bothered by the mayor to the point that it affected his health and well-being, among other quotes in the article, Resnek replied that Cornelio did not make any of those statements to him. Resnek claimed he made the statement that he didn’t need to write down the quotes or take notes because he’s “lived the story, the arc of the story, for two and a half years,” stating he knew that from talking to Cornelio and Philbin. “None of the things that you Questions and say Mr. Cornelio said to you, said to the paper, are things that he said to you; am I right?” asked Robbins. “That’s correct,” replied Resnek. Resnek then admitted that he has no notes of anything Cornelio or Philbin said to him, just the article he wrote. Global implications Robbins produced an email where Resnek sent a draft of his article to Boston Globe reporter Andrea Estes on Sept. 6, 2021, where she tells Resnek to get a copy of the $96,000 check made out to the mayor, and to provide better context as to Resnek’s claiming that “the mayor demanded another city official for a payoff.” Resnek at first claimed he didn’t know whom he sent the draft of his article to but was reminded by his attorney that he revealed his source in previous testimony. He then admitted to writing a quote attributed to Cornelio stating that the mayor had “shook him down,” then admitted that Cornelio never made the statement. “And Mr. Cornelio had never said to you that the mayor had demanded a payoff, correct?” “That’s correct,” answered Resnek. In the email, Estes warned Resnek that what Cornelio was alleging is a criminal act; Resnek agreed, but in spite of the warning, Resnek published the story with quotes Cornelio never said. Resnek told Robbins that the statements were the sum and substance of what Cornelio said. When asked if he knew what the definition of a quote was, the Resnek replied that it’s “not necessarily the exact words.” “When you use quotation marks and you say that somebody said something and you put quotation marks around them, you are representing to the reader that those are the words that he used; am I right?” asked Robbins. “Yes,” responded Resnek. Robbins asked Resnek if, after being warned by Estes, he changed his article so that he didn’t quote Cornelio saying that the mayor demanded a payoff; Resnek claimed to not recalling that. The attorney then asked for the drafts of the article; Resnek’s Attorney, Bernie Guekguezian, stated that his office was in the process of obtaining them.

When asked for the meaning of his remark to Estes in the email, “This doesn’t have to be a long drawn-out affair,” Resnek replied that in his mind the facts of the matter were apparent and the allegations were justifiable from what everyone and Sergio had told him. “He agreed to what was in my article,” said Resnek. “He acquiesced to everything I said to him.” When asked to what Cornelio acquiesced, Resnek claimed that after he was finished meeting with Cornelio and “I talked about coercion, intimidation, retaliation, secret deals, theft of $96,000, “He looked at me a moment before I left his office and he said, ‘You’ve got your story,’ and I walked out of his office.” “Did you write down any notes that reflected that he said that? asked Robbins. “No. That’s what he said to me,” replied Resnek. “It sounds like you told him the story you were writing, is that fair to say?” “To a great extent,” replied Resnek. “That’s correct.” Resnek then admitted that everything he wrote attributed to Cornelio in his Sept. 8 article was said to Cornelio by him. Resnek admitted to lying to Estes when he told her in an email that he “met with the city clerk” and “he had detailed everything to me,” telling Robbins that it was what Cornelio had detailed to Philbin and Philbin told him. Resnek admitted to the attorney that he told Cornelio the story that he was writing in part – and that he didn’t have to tell The Globe reporter his source – that it actually wasn’t him who Cornelio spoke to. “Did Cornelio provide any LEGAL NOTICE CITY OF EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on an application by 657 Broadway, LLC Property located at: 657 Broadway Site Plan Review In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 40A and with Sections 6 and 19 of the Everett Zoning Ordinance, 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 Site Plan Review. This proposal calls for the razing of an existing two-family dwelling on a 6,290 sq. ft. lot and construction of a six-story, mixed-use building containing eighteen residential units, three of which are proposed to be designated as deed-restricted affordable, and two commercial units on the ground level. The proposed building would have an approximate size of 22,250 square feet. 657 Broadway is a parcel of land referenced by Assessors Department as M0-02-00001 and M0-02-00002. A copy of the application and plans are on file and available in the Office of the City Clerk and the Department of Planning and Development, both located at City Hall, 484 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149 and can be inspected online anytime at http://www.cityofeverett.com/449/Planning-Board or by request during regular City Hall business hours by contacting The Planning and Development Office at 617-3942334. All persons interested in or wishing to be heard on the applications may attend and participate in person. This project, along with all other projects to be discussed at the meeting, can be found on the posted Agenda at the following link: http:// www.cityofeverett.com/AgendaCenter. comments can be directed in advance of the public hearing to Matt Lattanzi of the Department of Planning & Development at Matt.Lattanzi@ci.everett.ma.us or 617-394-2230. Frederick Cafasso Chairman Everett Planning Board July 15, 22, 2022 details to you?” asked Robbins. “No,” replied Resnek. “So, when you say to Andrea Estes, “He has detailed everything to me,” that’s a false statement, right? “Okay,” replied Resnek. Resnek then told Estes that a second LLC was set up by the bank attorney to legally transfer funds from the city clerk to the mayor, “something concocted by the president of the Everett Co-operative Bank” – admitting to Robbins that he knew it wasn’t true in retrospect. Resnek also admitted to having no evidence of meetings between Atty. David O’Neil, the mayor and Cornelio to make sure DeMaria was compensated or that the bank kept $15 million of the city’s money in its ledger account (interest free). “I had no evidence of that,” replied Resnek. Resnek then claimed he had a source that claimed to know of the interest-free bank account at the bank but refused to name his source. And as in typical Resnek standards, he also claimed to not have any proof. In just one of many examples, Resnek emailed to entice Estes that he knew for certain that there were emails and texts from the mayor that Cornelio had – but had never seen and couldn’t produce them. And as far as Resnek was concerned, he was writing his stories, despite never seeing a single proof that he claimed to The Globe reporter existed. When asked about accusing the mayor in his story about violating the Ethics Commission, and then discovering that the mayor had indeed sought an opinion by the commission in his favor, if he printed an apology or clarification, Resnek stated he didn’t. No surprise there. The depositions are expected to continue after July as new evidence by way of communications, phone records, texts and emails between the defendants and sources is expected to be released soon. - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 Docket No. MI18P6319PM In the matter of: KATHLEEN M.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 22, 2022 Page 19 OBITUARIES David Wilkins Eidle Jr. O f Everett, 28, formerly of Middleton, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday July 16, 2022, just 2 days before his 29th birthday.David was born in Boston, MA on July 18, 1993, son of David and Ivy Eidle, and resided in Middleton, until relocating to Everett 5 years ago. After graduating from Masconomet Regional High School in 2011, David furthered his education at Hofstra University where he graduated with a BS in Accounting in 2015.Hockey was David’s passion ~ In Loving Memory ~ VINCENT MICHAEL SINAGRA Vincent M. “Jimmy” Sinagra, 85, of North Fort Myers, FLA, formerly of Everett, MA, passed away unexpectedly on July 25, 2020. Beloved husband of Angela “Rita” (Aprile) Sinagra. Loving father of Susan Grogan, Joanna Gannino and Linda McDonald. Proud grandfather of Danielle Gannino, Riley Grogan and Gianna McDonald. Also survived by his loving great-grand grandchildren, Natalie and Brooke Nault. Beloved son of Accursia “Susie” Sinagra and her late husband, Michael. Beloved brother of Maria Murphy and her husband, Thomas, brother of the late Lillian Campagna and her late husband Frank, brother of the late Anthony Sinagra and his surviving wife, Marlene and brother of the late Louise Sinagra. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Late US Army Veteran, 1954-1956. from the very young age of 4. He began his hockey career with Everett Youth Hockey, continuing with the Masconomet Youth and Select programs, Masconomet Regional High School Varsity, and finally with Hofstra University. Through hockey, David made lasting friendships, and he acquired drive and determination that he carried with him in all aspects of his life. After graduating college, he continued to follow his passion playing in local men’s leagues with his friends and coworkers. Also at Hofstra, David learned the value of brotherhood when he joined his college fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, ultimately becoming the Chapter’s treasurer. He is remembered fondly by his fraternity brothers as the most loved, kindest, most generous, and by far the funniest member of the fraternity. During the summer between his Junior and Senior year at Hofstra, David was offered an internship with the prestigious CPA firm, AAFCPAs. He was subsequently offered a permanent position with the firm at the end of his internship tenure. David became a valued employee from the start as a staff accountant, and continued to work his way up the ranks. His work ethic and dedication to the firm did not go unnoticed, and he was most recently promoted to Audit Manager, in recognition of his work. David will be remembered by his co-workers and superiors as a class act, always willing to help and collaborate with anyone. He was very loyal to the firm and because of his knowledge, he became the go-to person to many. David’s most precious times were spent with his family. He was a protective big brother to his two sisters, fectious laugh, his radiant smile, his caring nature and kind heart, but mostly for his unwavering loyalty and love for his family and friends. David is survived by his adoring parents, David and Ivy Eidle; cherished sisters Darcy and Dayna Eidle; grandfather William Eidle, Aunt Kellie (and Walter) Miller, Uncle John (and Anne Marie) O’Keefe, Uncle Paul (and Jean) Eidle, Aunt Kirsten (and Peter) Barkman. David was the oldest of his four cousDarcy and Dayna, whom he loved dearly. David enjoyed socializing and vacationing with them, along with his future brother-in law, Chris Briggs, cousin, Aubrey O’Keefe, and the love of his life, Michelle Berganza. Family gatherings on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve were David’s favorite days of the year because of all the family traditions. He loved nothing more than spending time with his cousins and the entire extended family, laughing, eating, and reminiscing about all the hysterical family antics. David also had a special place in his heart for his two furry canine friends, Brady and Oliver. Aruba became his second home, traveling every April with his family, and meeting friends with whom he remained in close contact throughout his life. He also loved spending time at Sebago Lake at the Valentine Compound where he had some of his most memorable times. David was an avid Boston sports fan, particularly the Patriots and Bruins. He loved tailgating with his family and friends at both Patriots and Boston College Football games, and attended many games cheering on his beloved teams. David will be remembered by everyone who knew him for his in
