Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2021 Local martial artist honored for dedication to Kenpo S By Christopher Roberson ensei Bill Powers, owner of Nick Cerio’s Kenpo, was recently recognized by State Representative Joseph McGonagle and Mayor Carlo DeMaria for teaching martial arts in the city for the past 32 years. A fi fth degree black belt, Powers began his own Kenpo training 43 years ago. Growing up, his home life was not easy. After his father suff ered a stroke, Powers frequently missed school to be with his father in the hospital. As a result, his academic performance began to suff er and his life was headed in a very negative direction. “All I wanted to do was fi ght,” he said. Then, at the age of 25, Powers stopped the downward spiral and began training in Kenpo at the United Studios of Self Defense. “It calmed me down a lot,” he said. “It helped me get my head on straight.” After earning his brown belt in Kenpo, Powers dabbled in Shotokan Karate and Taekwondo; however, he quickly learned that neither art was for him. “For me, it was too rigid,” Powers said of the two other arts. “I wanted to learn self-defense. The Kenpo system worked great for what I wanted.” While at United Studios, Powers met Professor Nick Cerio. In addition to being a tenth degree black belt and the founder of the system, Cerio was the technical advisor of the dojo (school). Powers trained under Cerio for six years before opening his current dojo on Broadway. “Now all I want to do is teach,” he said. “I enjoy teaching; I like to see people progress.” Powers currently teaches approximately 50 children, although he has off ered adult classes in prior years. Despite his advanced black belt rank, Powers has continued his martial arts journey, always striving to learn more about Kenpo. He routinely trains in Malden under Shihan Joe Nestor, a tenth degree black belt. Sensei Bill Powers, owner of Nick Cerio’s Kenpo, was recognized on August 24 by State Representative Joseph McGonagle (right) and Mayor Carlo DeMaria. A fi fth degree black belt, Powers has been teaching Kenpo in Everett for more than three decades. (Advocate photo by Christopher Roberson) Yet, challenges still remain, particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced Powers to close his dojo for two-and-ahalf months last year. He underscored the fact that the pandemic has had a terrible eff ect on children, adding that parents frequently walk through his doors with children who continually misbehave. Although Kenpo is benefi cial for any child, Powers emphasized that contrary to what parents may believe; improvement does not happen overnight. “They come to me and expect me to perform these miracles,” he said with a laugh. “The martial arts is a crazy business.” ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE Regular Unleaded $2.919 Mid Unleaded $2.959 Super $3.119 Diesel Fuel $3.079 "42 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2020 KERO $4.65 DEF $3.49 9 Diesel $2.859 9 HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2021 Page 3 Planning Board hears proposals for projects on Second and Ferry Streets By Christopher Roberson T he Planning Board, during its August 23 meeting, reviewed the Site Plans for the proposed developments at 523-531 Second St. and 108 Ferry St. The Second Street development calls for the demolition of the existing commercial building and the construction of a four-story residential building consisting of nine condominiums. The development would also have 14 parking spaces and 1,868 square feet of green space. However, Planning Board Member Leo Pizzano was not impressed with the intended use of Hardie board. He said buildings with Hardie board are not nearly as aesthetically appealing as those with brick facades. “I think these are the cheapest looking buildings God ever created,” he said. “We’re going to be looking at these buildings for an awful long time.” Pizzano said the proposed development on Second Street is no exception. He said that based on the Site Plan, the majority of the building would be constructed using Hardie board. “The city doesn’t need that building,” he said. “It’s a terrible looking building.” Pizzano also said his colleagues should not be satisfied with Site Plans that only meet the city’s minimum requirement of 20 percent brick. In response, Attorney Anthony Rossi, representing property owner T&J Realty Trust, said the building would be relatively small as it only includes nine units. He also defended the use of Hardie board, saying it is popular in surrounding communities. “This is what they build in Cambridge,” said Rossi. However, Pizzano maintained that brick buildings continue to be prevalent in other cities, such as Malden and Melrose. After a brief discussion with his client, Rossi said the Site Plan would be revised to inLIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA Attorney Paul Delory speaks about the proposed development at 108 Ferry St. during the August 23 Planning Board meeting. (Advocate photo by Christopher Roberson) clude additional brick. The proposal at 108 Ferry St. would also be a redevelopment project. It involves demolishing the existing building and constricting a four-story, mixed-use building. The building would offer 16 residential units and would include three affordable units. The Ferry Street Grille would also be rebuilt and located on the ground floor. In addition, Attorney Paul Delory, counsel for property owner and applicant Albert Aversa, said the development would have 38 parking spaces. “This is an unusual thing that you don’t see these days,” he said. He also said the building would be 35 percent brick and would be 49 feet tall. However, High Street resident Ingrid O’Connor raised concerns, saying parking is already tight on her street. “You should be there at 3 o’clock in the afternoon,” she said. O’Connor said that although the building would have 38 parking spaces, parking on High Street would only get progressively worse. “It’s going to be very detrimental,” she said. “There’s always going to be people who want to park on that street.” The board will revisit both matters during its next meeting on September 14. Special Permit for 319 Broadway In other news, the board approved an Inclusionary Zoning Special Permit for the project at 319 Broadway. Under the Special Permit, the 20-unit residential building will now include three affordable units. The project’s Site Plan was approved by the board on April 26 and the three variance requests were approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 16.

The drive will help provide aid and support to those who have been affected by the earthquake in Haiti that occurred on August 14. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.2 and left many homeless, orphaned and struggling to survive. “It was heartbreaking to hear that there was another earthquake in Haiti on August 14,” said DeMaria. “Partnering with the North Shore Evangelical Missionary Church to host this event will help so many people in Haiti. The City of Everett is offering our full support to our community members and their families.” During the drive, NSEMC will be collecting goods to send to Haiti. These goods include: • Nonperishable foods – canned foods, rice, pasta, etc. • New or gently used clothing – for all ages for warm weather • Undergarments – underwear and socks • Linens – towels, sheets, face cloths, etc. • Health and wellness products – feminine hygiene products, shampoo, soap, diapers, baby wipes, etc. • Medical supplies – first aid kits, Band Aids, pain relievers, alcohol, ointment, etc. • Electronics – flashlights, batteries, walkie-talkies, etc. The drive will begin with a brief program where members of the Everett community and the NSEMC will be speaking and providing words of hope and encouragement. All members of the community are encouraged to attend and provide support to those affected by the earthquake. City adopts tree inventory software M ayor Carlo DeMaria recently announced that the City of Everett will be partnering with PlanIT Geo, a software company specializing in urban forestry and tree management, to manage the tree inventory throughout the community through their software program, TreePlotter INVENTORY. “The TreePlotter Inventory software will enable the city of Everett to maintain a proper inventory of trees,” said DeMaria. “This technology will allow us to monitor the greenery in our community and plant trees where the space permits.” Everett received Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Grant funds to complete the street tree inventory. Maintaining a street tree inventory is crucial to understand any city’s urban community forest. The new software will help monitor and manage Everett’s trees by overseeing the location of each tree. This software will also help identify spots throughout the community where a tree could be planted. Everett has been proudly recognized as a Tree City USA and would like to continue its efforts by planting, caring for and managing trees in the community.

The ceremony will occur on Tuesday, September 7 at 12:30 p.m. outside of City Hall on Broadway. “Raising the Brazilian flag on Brazil’s Independence Day is truly an honor,” said DeMaria. “There are numerous members of our community that have moved to Everett from Brazil or have Brazilian heritage and I am proud to celebrate this day with them. It is my hope that our community can join together and continue to celebrate all cultures and traditions.” Brazil achieved its independence in 1822. Everett has a strong Brazilian influence, and the City of Everett is looking forward to celebrating this occasion with the community.

Baseball field could be dedicated to Swan Street Rats By Christopher Roberson T ucked deep into Everett’s past, there is a baseball team called the Swan Street Rats. Similar to the kids depicted in the 1993 film “The Sandlot,” the Rats were a group of local teenagers who regularly got together at Swan Street Park for pickup games of baseball. “That was the common denominator,” said Swan Street resident Carol Dondero, whose father, John McNeil, played on the team. “They lived in the neighborhood and they played in the park.” The team likely dates back to the 1930s and 1940s. “Back then, how much was there to do?” asked Dondero. Dondero said her father was joined by players who lived on Wall Street, Harley Avenue and Tappan Street. Some of them were Henry McLaughlin, Bill McNeil, Roger Doherty, Eddie Gilbert, Eddie Lafferty and James McNeil, who was nicknamed “soupy” as he resembled a kid on the Campbell’s Soup cans. Although the players lived on different streets, the team always went to Swan Street Park to play baseball. Therefore, Dondero recently asked Mayor Carlo DeMaria to consider dedicating the baseball field at Swan Street Park in honor of the Rats, a group of young men who loved baseball. “They played year after year,” said Dondero. “They were a great group of guys.” In their later years, the players stayed in touch and attended reunions at the French Club on Hancock Street. “They remained friends for years and years,” said Dondero. Unfortunately, time has since taken its toll on several of the players. “Most of them are gone,” she said. McLaughlin, Lafferty and James McNeil are the only surviving members of the team. Monthly blood pressure screenings return to Connolly Center M ayor Carlo DeMaria, the Council on Aging and Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) recently announced that blood pressure screenings will resume at the Connolly Center for seniors over the age of 60.

Foundation Trust awards grant to Eliot Center T he Foundation Trust recently awarded a grant to the Eliot Center in Everett to enhance their trauma-focused mental health services for low-resource, high-risk clients. The grant establishes the Trauma Recovery Fund at the Eliot Services Everett outpatient clinic, and it allows for the expansion of the Adjunctive Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Program. EMDR is an innovative, evidence-based therapy to help people process distressing memories of past traumatic experiences and strengthen their internal coping resources. The new Trauma Recovery Fund will make this specialized treatment approach available to people who might not have been able to access it before, as EMDR sessions are 90 minutes in length and often not covered by Medicaid or third-party insurance. “This award has made it possible to offer extended-length EMDR sessions to clients, train staff in advanced EMDR protocols, and provide the books and equipment needed to provide the best care. We are excited to be able to broaden our scope of treatment to include complex trauma, OCD, phobias, panic disorders, and early trauma experiences,” said Eliot’s Outpatient Clinical Supervisor, Julie Foss. “Exposure to trauma, abuse, and violence are pervasive, and affect people of all ages ELIOT CENTER | SEE PAGE 16

That’s because it could mean only one thing if the home of the Patriots football program is bursting at the seams in August: Numbers are great in preseason camp! Coach Cicatelli and his enthusiastic staff welcomed nearly 70 prospects to the stadium on Friday, the fi rst day of preseason workouts for Massachusetts high school football teams.

Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2021 SCHOOL | FROM PAGE 1 Ward 4 School Committee Member Dana Murray said she trusts that the mask mandate is the right move. “The resources and data available to them on a state level go far beyond what I have access to as a School Committee member,” she said. “As this school year stands before us, my hope is that all of our children will have a safe, healthy, happy, challenging, school year – in person.” On the state level, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted, during its August 24 meeting, to authorize Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley to put the mask mandate in place for the first month of school. The purpose of the mandate is to “encourage higher vaccination rates among students and staff and to implement a uniform policy for all schools to begin the year.” After October 1, students and staff on the middle and high school levels can remove their masks provided they have been vaccinated. In addition, 80 percent of students and staff in each school must be vaccinated as well. “As students and staff prepare to return to school fulltime, in-person, our priority is on a smooth reopening,” said Riley. “With cases rising, this mask mandate will provide one more measure to support the health and safety of our students and staff this fall.” Lt. Governor Karyn Polito explained the reasoning for the 80 percent threshold. “Our goal remains to get as many people as possible vaccinated,” she said. “We hope that by instituting vaccine benchmarks among school populations we will create a real incentive for students and staff to get vaccinated so they can remove their masks.” Although Massachusetts has one of the best vaccination rates in the country, Education Secretary James Peyser said there is still work to be done. “The vaccination SPORTS | FROM PAGE 13 nounced four captains who will lead the team this season; they are Augusto Goncalves, Elmahdi Elkeaouakibi and Wilmer Rodriguez, who are all seniors, and Max Doucette, a junior. MHS and first-year head coach Exilhomme eye first test of season on Saturday The fast pace of high school rates among young people in Massachusetts are among the highest in the nation, with 65 percent of 12-15-year-olds vaccinated, but we still need to do more to make sure our young people and educators are protected from COVID-19,” he said. “Instituting universal masking mandates to further encourage vaccination rates among everyone in our schools is one measure we can take now.” Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders also underscored the importance of getting vaccinated. “Increasing vaccination in our eligible residents is the most important thing we can do to ensure a safe return to the classroom for this upcoming school year,” she said. preseason football continues this week for Malden High School football and first-year Head Coach Witche Exilhomme. Malden football opened camp on Friday along with the rest of the over 300 high school programs in the state, and Coach Exilhomme said he and his staff are pleased with the early results. “We have good numbers and a lot of hard-working players who have started the preseason,” said Coach Exilhomme, himself a 2012 Malden High School graduate and former three-year Golden Tornado varsity starter. Malden will get to work against an opponent tomorrow, Saturday, August 28 when the Golden Tornados welcome Greater Boston Leaguers Chelsea and Somerville to Macdonald Stadium at 10:00 a.m. for a three-team, jamboree-style scrimmage. While Somerville does appear on Malden’s regular season schedule, Chelsea does not in 2021. It is expected that the Red Devils will reappear as a GBL league opponent for Malden on the 2022 slate.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2021 Democratic senators voted with Creem 100 percent of the time in 2021. Seven senators voted with Creem Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local senators voted with their party’s leadership in the 2021 session. Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 72 votes from the 2021 Senate session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not quorum calls or on local issues. The votes of the 35 Democrats were compared to Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem (D-Newton), second-in-command in the Senate. We could not compare the Democrats’ votes to those of Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) because, by tradition, the Senate president rarely votes. The senator who voted with Creem the least percentage of times is Sen. Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen) who voted with her only 50 times (69.4 percent). Rounding out the top 3 who voted with Creem the least number of times are Sens. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who voted with her 56 times (77.7 percent) and Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton) who voted with her 62 times (86.1 percent) Nineteen (54.2 percent) of the 35 all but one time: Sens. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Julian Cyr (D-Truro), James Eldridge (D-Acton), Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough), Barry Finegold (D-Andover), Edward Kennedy (D-Lowell) and Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). All in all, 32 Democrats (91.4 percent) voted with Creem 90 percent or more of the time. The votes of the two Republican senators were compared with those of GOP Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). In 2021, as in 2020, none of the two voted with Tarr 100 percent of the time. In 2021, the Republican senator who voted the lowest percentage of times with Tarr was Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) who voted with Tarr 84.7 percent of the time. Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) voted with Tarr 93 percent of the time. SENATORS’ SUPPORT OF PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2021 – THROUGH AUGUST 20, 2021 The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the senator supported his or her party’s leadership. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the senator opposed his or her party’s leadership. Some senators voted on all 72 roll call votes. Others missed one or more roll calls. The percentage for each senator is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted and does not count the roll calls for which he or she was absent. Sen. Sal DiDomenico 100 percent (0) 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 fi led. 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 of August 16-20, the House met for a total of 35 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 46 minutes. Mon.

My 81-year-old father, who just moved in with me, has dementia and needs attention during the day while I’m at work. Need Assistance Dear Need, Adult day care services can be a great option for caregivers who work, or for those who just need a break during the day. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you fi nd and choose one. Adult Day Care The business of adult day care services has grown rapidly in recent years. According to the National Adult Day Services Association, there are upwards of 4,600 adult day centers across the U.S., the result of a 35 percent increase since 2002. Those centers provide services to more than 260,000 participants and family caregivers, which is a whopping 63 percent increase over the last two decades. As the name implies, adult day care provides care for elderly seniors who cannot care for themselves at home. While services will vary from center to center, they typically provide personal care, meals and snacks, various activities and social interaction in a safe supportive environment. Additionally, many centers also provide health services such as medication management, various therapies, exercise and transportation to and from the facility. Adult day care centers generally operate programs during normal business hours five days a week. However, some centers may off er services in the evenings and on weekends, too. Costs for care will vary as well, usually between $25 to more than $100 per day (the national average is $75/day), depending on where you live. Unfortunately, in most cases original Medicare does not pay for adult day care, but some Medicare Advantage plans, and many long-term care insurance policies do. But most seniors or their families pay for care out-of-pocket. If your dad is lower income and can’t aff ord this, state Medicaid programs provide fi nancial assistance if he meets elinior Adl D ior How to Choose an Adult Day Care Services Provider gibility requirements, and some states have PACE programs that provide fi nancial aid. Contact your state Medicaid offi ce (see Medicaid.gov) for more information. The VA even provides adult day care to eligible veterans enrolled in their Medical Benefi ts Package. See VA. gov/geriatrics to learn more. How to Choose Your fi rst step in shopping for an adult day center is to determine the kinds of services your dad needs, and you need as a caregiver. After you do that, here are some tips to help you locate and choose a good provider. Start by contacting your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-6771116 to get your local number) to get referrals to adult day service programs in your area. You can also search the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) database at NADSA. org/locator. Once you have a list of a few centers, call them to fi nd out their eligibility criteria, if they off er the types of services your dad needs, if they are accepting new clients, their hours of operation, if they’re licensed and/or registered with a state agency (this is not required in all states) and what they charge. After you identify a few good centers, go in for a visit. Find out about the staffi ng ratio (at least one staff member for every six participants is recommended) and what kind of training they have. While you’re there, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem friendly and knowledgeable? Also be sure to taste the food and consider making an unannounced visit. To help you rate your visit, the NADSA off ers a helpful checklist of questions to ask at NADSA.org – click on “Site Visit Checklist” under the “For Caregivers” tab. Then, after your visit, be sure to check their references. Get names and phone numbers of at least two or three families who have used the center you are considering and call them. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
